The bankruptcy of the house of Michael Lopez Ind Co., at Cadiz, has caused much sensation in our place, because all the merchants of this town, Who, in consequence of Cadiz being declared a free Port, went to establish themselves there, and had Placed their funds in that firm.

On the 19th, his MA JESTY, in person, opened the Session of the States General, by a speech from the Throne. This speech is not remarkable for any thing out or the ordinary course. His MAJESTY con gratulates the representatives upon the continued Prosperity of the nation, and the progress made in the several branches of manufactures--all Which he had the pleasure of witnessing with his own eyes during his late tour through the provinces. If we are 'to place any reliance " the latter part of the speech, his MA 'l STY iS a confirmed Liberal, for he pro- Poses among, other projects to be laid before the Chambers, to improve the law on public Instruction, in order, says the KING, " to give by • Joint agreement more stability to the liberal principles which ought to regulate this important matter." Now w e have rather a misgiving from this little word " ought," that the co-operation of his MAJEST Y will not much contribute to the sta bility of these liberal principles. His assistance will rather retard than facilitate their dissemina tion. But we hope, for the benefit of the people, t hat We may be mistaken in our apprehensions. It would appear that the Princess of ORANGE is destined to have no end to her troubles. The other day she lost her brilliants, and now she is threatened with the loss of her wits by the mis taken civility of chimney-sweeps. Th e following are extracts : BRUSSELS, OCT. 17. His Royal Highness Prince Albert of Prussia, is expected at the Hague on Monday next. It is now certain that Baron Zuylen Von Nye -leidt) the A m b assa d or at C onstant i nople, will have eas e of absence to return to the Netherlands. 9* the 14 t h i nst. t h e sea rose to an extraord i nary height at Os tend, v i a., 94 inches above high water roar*. .• , Her R oyal Highness the Princess of Orange has be very ill for s ome d a y s i n consequence o f a f r i g ht, caused bY the sudden appearance of a chimney aweep who had mistaken the room. The Princess Was t he more easily alarmed, as the late robbery of " er diamonds has left a painful impression on her mind. The physicians have succeeded in their ef forts, and she is now better. OCTOBER 18.—His Royal Highness the Prince 6f °range, arrived here yesterday from the Hague, se a The progr amme for the opening of the or di nary n of the States-General, w hi c h w ill ta k e pl ace at the the on the 19th of October, has just been Published i n the usual form. His Majesty will open '4 Session in person. 0 CT 19 . —His Excellency the English Ambas hdor to th e Court of the Netherlands, who arrived thin e th e d ay before yesterday from London, set out mornin g for the Hague. The P r i nce of Orange has returned to the Hague .0 t be present to-day at the opening of the Session 1 4 the States General. OCr. 20.--A British C a bi ne t messen ger arrived il iz for v yest er d ay from London, with despatches v tennis. It is much to be regretted (says Lc Belge), that 4 : 4 1 Deputies of the southern provinces will not be Present at the first sittings of the Second Chamber, one of them in consequence of circumstances over l nieb they have no contreul; others through care "%nets. Besides the Address, the wording of which. I am happy at seeing myself again surrounded by the Representatives of the Belgic nation, which in the several provinces that I have visited since your last session has given me unequivocal proofs of at tachment, and confirmed me in the belief that the nation entertains towards me those sentiments of love and confidence which my heart values so highly, and to which my constant solicitude for its happi ness gives me a claim. Thanks to Divine Providence this solicitude has not been unfruitful, and has re ceived its recompence. his 11Iajesty says, be convinced himself in his late tour of the progress of manufactures, and the increase of general prosperity. His Majesty speaks of the amicable relations of the kingdom with fo reign powers, and announces the intended marriage of his only daughter the Princess Marianne with Prince Albert, son of the King of Prussia. His Majesty expresses his hopes of a happy termination of the troubles in the East India pos sessions. His Majesty announces, among other subjects that Krill be laid before the Chambers, the Budget, the Code of Proceedings in the Criminal Courts, and n law on public instruction, in order, says his Majesty, " to give, brour joint agreement, more sta bility to the liberal principles which ought to regu late this important matter." The AllgemeincZeitaiig of the 16th Octo ber contains a short article which discloses still more the insidious but persevering policy of Russia. The President of Greece, we arc told, " is very desirous to form a considerable Greek navy. Not only are all the ships to be retained, meaning, we presume, the present naval force, but negociations are said to be on foot with a great Power, which will, on acceptable terms, furnish Greece with several large ships of war, which the Greeks will man themselves." No doubt they will, and consider the ships very acceptable presents. But is this the manner in which Russia is to dispose of her Mediterranean fleet ? Is this another chapter in the treaty of darkness ? Is Russia to be allowed to form a navy under Greek colours, the better to veil her ambitious hypocrisy ? Has she not already got Count CAPO DISTRIA and the army at her command—but she mus t have a navy also ? We always thought from the anxiety manifested by Russia to send ships of war to the Mediterranean, that she had some ulterior purpose in view, and here the cloven foot begins to appear. How long will England look on, but hesitate to act ? NAPLES, OCT. 1. M. de Ribeaupierre, who is still here, expects de spatches from his Court, which will probably direct him to return to his post as Russian Ambassador at Constantinople. From all we learn it seems that the Greek State will obtain the wished-for exten sion of its boundaries. The President of Greece seems to be very desirous to form a considerable Greek navy. Not only are all the ships of war to be retained, but negotiations are said to be on foot with a great Power, which will, on acceptable terms, urnish Greece with several large ships of war, which, however, the Greeks must man themselves. If this plan should succeed, the natural aptness of the Greeks to a seafaring life may lead to the rapid formation of a new naval power in the Mediterra nean, which is desirable on many accounts, as it would not only give a new impulse to commerce, but also probably contribute to put an end to the excesses of the Barbary Powers. is not an unimportant matter, and under present cir enmstances ought to cotnain ::omething more than the usual common-place expressions, there are ques tions respecting the validity of some new elections which will be immediately examined, and which deserve the serious attention of the Chamber. HIS MAJESTY'S SPEECH. EXPRESS FROM LISBON. (From the Second Edition of the Morning Herald.) We have just received by express, a letter from our Correspondent at Lisbon, from which we extract the following : LISBON, OCT. 10, 1829.—The greatest confu sion now pervades this city; the last remaining hold of public credit has been shaken, and all those who are engaged in commerce, or employed by the Government, are puzzled—bewildered—and know not what to do, for a sort of panic has struck all classes. There has within two days been a run upon► the Bank, which however by the aid of an increased number of paying clerks, has hitherto contrived to meet the demand; the paper money is obliged to be received half as currency, which when Miguel ar rived was at a discount, all persons having remit tances to make or expecting payments are alarmed for fear the discount will rise to 40 per cent. or more. The Exchange on England was on Thursday at Of, and to-day 44i. Saturday night nine o'clock.—lt is stated, but re quires confirmation, that by a despotic order of Miguel and his Ministers, the Bank is to close on Monday next. Exchange on England 44 i i mer cantile; Government paper-money from 30 to 31 discount. Letters have been received from Oporto to the sth October, they do not bring any news of conse quence, the paper currency there was at a discount of 28i per cent. _ _ _ Private accounts from Lisbon state that the dis appearance of Queluz, the former favourite of Don Miguel, wan the general topic of conversation there. Persons well informed say that he was embarked on board the corvette Princeza Real, which sailed im mediately for the Mediterranean, and it is thought he Is gone to Rome, the place of his exile. Assassina tions and robberies still continue to a great excess in the above Capital. The 17 persons who com posed the crew of the American vessel taken before Terceira have arrived in Lisbon, and have been scut to the prison Limeiro as criminals. The brig Francis, of New York, on entering Cadiz after it was declared a free port, was charged 300 dollars, tonnage duty, &c.; for Gibraltar the same accommodatign might be obtained for about seven dollars. Letters from Smyrna have been received this morning to the 20th ult. Despatches from Admiral MALCOLM had reached there with in telligence of the conclusion of peace. Papers from Antigua to the 7th September state, that a petition to the Governor, Sir PATRICK Ross, praying him to use his pre rogative to prevent the carrying into effect of the vote of the House of Assembly, of 2501. to the Judges to meet their expenses in opposing Mr. OSBORN'S appeal to the King in Council, on the-subject of his disbarment, had been general. ' (From the ltiessager des Chanzbres of Tueday.) (SECOND EDITION.) BUCHAREST, SEPT. 30. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) According to letters from Adrianople the Treaty of Peace was ratified by the Sultan on the 20th of September. In consequence, the Turkish troops are at this moment evacuating Ghiurgevo, which is going to be occupied by the Russians. The Rus sian army will begin its retreat on the 28th of Oc tober, and first of all it will evacuate Adrianople, the Porte having engaged to make by that time the first payment of the commercial indemnity. It is said, that the Russian garrisons of Sizeboli and Bonrgas will occupy those places for another year, even though the army shall have repassed the Balkan. Since we have become certain that the principa lities will have an independent Government, and will cease to be subject to the arbitrary dominion of the Ottoman Porte, universal joy prevails, and landed property increases in value. The whole attention of the two principalities is directed to the choice of the new Hospodars ; and it may be sup posed that the Russian Governor-General will have no inconsiderable influence on their nomination. We expect th• return of the foreign agents, who left their posts during the war. Turkish Commis sioners have arrived in Servia, to concert with Prince Alulosch respecting all the points relative to the five districts, which were mentioned also in the Treaty of Akermann. The Prince will afterwards go to the Russian head-quarters. We hear no more of the march of Gen. Geismar, who was said to have fol lowed the Pacha of Scutari in his expedition. The organization of troops in the Principalities will now become an object of serious attention—their strength, it is said, will be raised to 14,000 men.

Mr. OWEN, who has just returned to Eng land, after a long and arduous course of travel ling through North, and some parts f otlth America, states, that after repeated communica tions with many of the influential Members of Congress in the United States, he found that they were willing to do every thing in their power to promote his plans of improvement, by means of which a more friendly and enlightened com munication would be kept up between England and America, and the state of society in the two countries be materially benefitted. In the course of his journies through America he met with the Rev. ALEX. CAMPBELL, with whom he en gaged in a long and comprehensive discussion, which " was attended by Clergymen of every persuasion, and from persons of almost every state in the Union, some of whom came upwards of 1,500 miles to be present." The particulars of this public discussion, Mr. OWEN states, will be speedily given to the world, and trans lated into the " French, German, and Spanish languages." While at Mexico, Mr. OWEN was offered by the President VICTORIA, in the name of the Executive power, the jurisdiction of a territory, 150 miles broad, along the whole line of frontier between the republic of Mexico and the United States. This terri tory Mr. OWEN means to have governed under the laws and regulations which he has prepared, so soon as some previous necessary arrangements have been completed between himself and the Mexican Administration. On the whole, he seems perfectly satisfied with the hold, which his principles seem likely to obtain in the New World. Mr. CONTINI, a King's Messenger, arrived at the Colonial-office last night with despatches from Sir FREDERICK ADAM, Lord High Com missioner of the lonian Islands. The despatches are dated the sth instant. Mr. CONTINI was also the bearer of despatches from Mr. DAW.. KINS, Consul-General at Greece. On Thursday the Marquis of DOWNSIIIRE arrived at the Great Globe Hotel, Cloumel, on his way to Knocklofty and Cork. Mr. WALLACE, of Waterford, Collector of Customs, arrived at the same hotel on Friday, on his way to the Lakes of Killarney. —Dublin Morning Register. The opening in the Strand now begins to show itself most advantageously, and will, we have no doubt, soon become one of the greatest of the many im provements which have taken place in the metropolis. Yesterday being the first day of the Westmin ster Sessions, the Court sat to swear in the Grand Jury and go through other preliminary buliness. The trials commence this day. The Grantham Reading Association, which is so valuable an acquisition to the town, we find is now most respectably supported. Institutions of this nature tend to the improvement generally of society; and where the rate of expense, as in this instance, is moderate, its value is much increased ; and we hope when the annual meeting takes place, to hear that the number of sub scribers have considerably Increased.—Newark Times.

The Express from Paris this morning having brought the ratification of the Treaty of Adrianople on the 20th September, by the Sultan, and that the Rusfian army will commence its retreat on the 28th Oct., as well as the improvement of the French Funds, this information has had a favourable in fluence in the Consol market. Consols, which left offyesterday at 90i 91 for the account, and 90a for money, opened at the same price this morning, but at present they may be quoted at 91 for money, and 911/ 3 for the account, and investments for money still continue. In the Foreign market little doing as yet, but the Brazil stock continues a favourite fund for invest ment, owing to a report that the Brazilian Minister is:maturing some financial plan, which will prove of great benefit to the country. Letters from Stockholm of the 29th of September say that the States have been exclusively occupied in the Budget, and the salaries of persons high in office have been augmented, that of Minister of Jus tice from 5,849 to 8,000 rix dollars, the Minister of Foreign Affairs from 6,849 to 9,000 rix dollars, and that of Councillor of State from 4,282 to 6,000 rix dolla►s.

Some persons have imagined, from the post pouement of his MAJESTY'S visit to Brighton, that it was never the intention of the KING to visit the place this year. We can positively affirm that such is not the case, having the authority to that effect of individuals to whom his MAJESTY was pleased to express his intention.— Brighton Gazette. His MAJESTY has given orders that the cyg, nets, five in number, which were hatched in the summer on the river in St. James's Park, should be removed—two of them, a male and female, to Virginia Water; and the other three to a beautiful piece of water at the back of his new Palace, at Pimlico.—Brighton Gazette. The Rev. HOMPESCH MASSINGBERD, Of Beckenham, has been presented by Sir WM. INGLisnr, Bart., to the vicarage of Upton, near Gainsborough, vacant by the death of the Rev.

The New General Post receiving-house ad joining Northumberland House, having been found to oc casion inconvenience by the frequent stoppages it caused in that narrow part of the Strand, the front has been moved back three or four feet within the house, so that persons having to transact business will stand under cover, and cause no obstruction. MA HOM ET'S PA RAD I SE.—Sillee the activity displayed by the New Police, as drovers or caterers for the citizens, the City has been called 111A11031ET'S Paradise. SoLomow, in all his glory, was not arrayed as Fleet-street now is, in point of concubines. The Loan MATOR and the whole Court of Aldermen are happy beyond all the rest of the kingdom in choice—revelling in the enjoyment of peace and plenty. " It is a poor shepherd (says the adage) that can count his sheep." Not so his Lordship; or if he is, as we hope, an Irishman, we should say, the Padishah of the City. As this Civic honour is now going begging—the llayor Elect having, we understand, signified an inclination to decline the office—it seems to us that in the Treaty between the Russians and Turks, it might, under circumstances, have broken the SULTAN'S fall considerably to have appointed him. Since the break ing up of Harems in Turkey, and the dispersion of Houris, it is not clear that he would not have been here quite at home surrounded by his family; and no one knows better how to keep them quiet and orderly. But, seriously, the City appears to be very ill used by drovers of all sorts— they get nothing but bad meat ; there are, as far as we hear, no " wet'uns" anywhere else.—Morning Chronicle BATH AND BRISTOL RAILWAY.—The following is an extract from a pamphlet, now is the press, on the subject of the proposed Rail-road from Bristol to Bath, containing Mr. TUCKER'S report thereon But suppose we confine ourselves to passengers only, I contend there is every reason to believe that subscribers, even if the charge was only the mo , lerate of one penny per mile, es pecially considering the probable effect of the intended bridge at St. Vincent's rocks, which will most likely be one of the most extraordinary structures of the kind in the world, and will probably attract the attention of not only the curious and scientific of this empire, but of all of that description in Europe and America, who may have the opportunity of visiting this country. To imagine the ex traordinary effects of Rail-roads, only let us conceive a com munication of the kind from hence to London, and that trauelling on it might be effected with safety at the rate of 20 miles per hour, (no impossible event) a merchant might leave Bristol in the morning, breakfast in London, have six or seven hours to transact business in, and return to his family in the evening, possibly at less than half the expence of on e j ourney to L on d on per coac h. At a ll even t s I think it is clearly proved that the journey to Bath may be effected parties of pl easure i n B at h may pay t h e i r morn ing vi s it s t o with perfe c t saf e ty in an hour; so that the Clifton with little or no fatigue or inconvenience, and without much abridging their usual arrangements at home; • so likewise. may the vi s itors with the same ease pay their morning .v isits to their friends in Bath."-Bath Chronicle. Mr. TICICNER said be rose to present a petition from Mr. 13Iachard, which related to a most important subject connected with the city of London. It wee la r_pecting the high price of coals.—(l-lear.)—A short time since he (Mr. T.) had called the attention of the Court to this sub ject, and the combination that existed between the great coal-owners of Newcastle and Sunderland. Ile now rose to redeem the pledge he had then given, viz. to bring the subject before the Court. It was tmnecessary to go into the particulars of the combination that had been fully brought before the public, by committees appointed by Parliament. It was a well known fact, that the owners agreed between themselves what price should be demanded at the pit's mouth, and a Committee was annually formed to apportion the supply that should he dealt out to the public. In 1795, a Newcastle chal dron of coals was only 18s. At the present time 365. was demanded.--(I-fear, hear.)—Yet the pits were much improved. The principal actors in this combination, were the. most Noble the Marquis of Londonderry and Lord Durham.—(blear. ).—Such was the regular organization of the monopoly formed for the purpose of increasing the price of this necessary article (coals), that besides com mittees and other officers, secretaries, at a yearly salary, were kept at Newcastle and Sunderland. In such a state of things, surely the Court were called upon to do all in its power to suppress such a monopoly; and he was of opinion the best plan to adopt for that purpose would be to obtain another supply, by opening a rival shop.—(Hear, hear.) There were other channels where they could be produced of equally as good a quality as those at Newcastle ; and by this means the trade would be thrown open to a fair competition, which, he was convinced, was the only protection the public had of being supplied at a fair and reasonable price. After a few observations from Aldermen COPF.LA lin and WAITIIMAN, the petition was ordered to be referred to a Committee. The Ballot on the election of Coroner and Secondary commenced at two o'clock, and had not concluded when our Reporter left. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF KING'S BENCH. DROWN V. DUNCAN. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom was Mr. Ca.mrnELL and Mr. ALDERSON) stated that this was an action to recover 3,307/. The plaintiffs are distillers in Scotland. A Mr. Gurney was appointed their agent for the sale of malt whiskey in London. The defendant gave a guarantee to the plaintiff that he would be answer able for any sums of money that Gurney might receive on their account, as agent. He paid them punctually all the sums which he received for two years ; but at length be came deficient to the above armount, which they now sought to recover. It appeared that the plaintiffs were five in number. Mr. PoLnocic (with whom was Mr. CHITTY) con tended that the plaintiffs could not recover, as the wit nesses proved the plaintiffs' firm to consist of sometimes three, and sometimes four, but never five. Either the case must fiil on that account, or on account of (if they really were five) their not having complied with the 6th of Geo. IV., chap. 8, sec. 7, which clearly made all the whiskey they sent to Mr. Glenny liable to seizure. Lord TENTERDEN recommended them to make a special case of it, to which they ultimately agreed, and a verdict was entered fur the plaintiffs, with leave for the defendant to move for leave to enter a nonsuit. His Excellency had, however, t!,: lined to at cede to the wishes of roi We received this morning the French Papers of Tuesday, by Express.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. (THIS DAY.) At the sitting of the Court, the LORD MAYOR stated that he had received a letter from Mr. Alderman Crowder, in which that gentleman accepted of the office of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. On the motion of ?dr. TICKNEIt, it was directed that the Sheriffs of London, although not members of the Court of Common Council, should sit on the Aldermen's bench. TIIE COAL TRADE. DROCKLEBANK. V. SUGRUE. This was an action on a policy of insurance, to recover 4,0001. on the ship Phoebe, and 1,0001. on her cargo._ The policy was effected on a voyage from Liverpool to Quebec, but contained a clause by which, if the ship wns detained beyond the time mentioned, the policy would stand good for a voyage from Liverpool to New Bruns wick, on the insured paying an increased per centage. The ATTORN GENER A L contended that the policy was invalid, according to the Stamp Act, as it clearly in cluded two separate risks, and should have been on two se parate stamps. Mr. PoLtocx contended, in reply, that the case was similar to a policy where a vessel was allowed to go into any one of two ports, as the weather might permit. If one port only was mentioned, the clause containing liberty to go into the second port might legally be introduced, and he contended that the principle in this case was exactly the same, and perfectly legal. Lord TENTERDEN held that as the policy was originally made for a voyage to Quebec, and afterwards altered for a voyage to St. John's, the ships could not then go to Quebec. It was clearly a different voyage, and might al most as well have been a different ship. Mr. You.ocx. then contended, that as no risk had been incurred, the underwriters must return the premium, which was opposed by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL. Lord TENTERDEN observed, that the plaintiff could re cover the premium, as the risk had never commenced.— There was an insurance on a voyage which had never been made, and on which consequently the underwriter could not have lost. The premium, therefore, could be reco vered on the money counts. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 421., being the premium for the freight, and for 190/., being the premium on the vessel. His LORDSIIIP, however, gave Mr. Pollock leave to move the full Court on the last part of the verdict. LAW NOTICES. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. LONDON SPECIAL JURIES APPOINTED TOR. TO-MORROW.

We have again to call the attention of our readers to the mischievous and most revolting practice of killing salmon in breeding time. It is well known that the practice and the use of certain destructive engines have had the effect of nearly extirpating the breed of salmon in this country, and have, consequently, for many years, put it almost out of the power of the common people of tasting what was wont to be the cheapest and most abundant ar ticle of food they could get. But this dearth is not the only pernicious consequence of this illegal practice. The slightest reflection might satisfy the commonest capacity, that a salmon about to spawn, or immediately after spawn ing, is just as unfit for food, and fully as revolting and unwholesome, as a cow with calf or recently after calving. This was formerly well understood in Scotland, and ac cordingly so highly criminal was this offence reckoned, that it is declared by the Act 1503, Cap. 72, to be pu nishable by death for the third offence, while the slaying of salmon in forbidden time, or of kipper molts, a rich black fish, at any time, is declared by two other separate Acts, of 1606 and 1607, to be punishable as theft. These Acts, it will be observed, are still in force, and though they are now rarely enforced to the full extent of their enactment, the offence still stands on the statute books as one of the highest criminality, and is, in fact, morally, as well as legally so.--Dun fries Courier. On Saturday afternoon, about four o'clock, the usual monotony of Monteath Row was disturbed by the appearance of a visitor seldom seen amid the din and bustle of a manufacturing city. This was no other than a poor hare which by some means or other had mistaken its way, and was endeavouring to escape from a crowd of four or five hundred people, aided by a pack of upward. of fifty curs of all degrees, who were in full cry after it. It proceeded at full speed towards the Cross, where, from the crowd which instantly collected from the opposite quarter, it found itself at fault, and backed through Lon don-street to the bridge, over which it sprang, and made for St. Andrew's•square. Here again it was turned, and in despair it took to the burn, and proceeded through the tunnel towards the Gallowgate ; but from the depth of water there it would inevitably have been drowned, had not a humane individual leapt in to its rescue, into whose arms it fled for safety. The captor carried home his prize in triumph, supplied it liberally with cabbage leaves, and today it is as lively as et-cr.—Glasgow. Chronicle.

The imports between Tuesday and Saturday last were very light, but there was a little increase in the supplies this morning, by the arrival of several cargoes of Irish Grain, principally consisting of New Oats, nearly the whole of which were sold at a decline of about Id. on the prices of this clay sem:light. The quotations for New Wheat were again reduced 3d. to 4d. per bushel, and those of Old nearly as much ; at this abatement a mode rate business was transacted : some quantity of the New was, however, left unsold.

Miss MORDAUNT appeared last night as Miss Hardcastle, in GOLDSMITH'S diverting but farcical comedy of She Stoops to Conquer. She went through the part with much sprightliness gut( inter , ligence, and met with considerable applause. The comedy, on the whole, was excellently cast, Air 4 LISTON taking his favourite part of Tony Lunipkid, Mr. W. FARRLN, Old Lrardcastle, JONES, Young Marlow, and Mrs. Hardcastle, Mrs. C. JONES. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. Miss FANNY KEMBLE repeated Juliet last night for the eighth time, and was received with the usual. applause. Her aunt, Mrs. SIDDONS, was present on the occasion, of which a morn i ng cotem p orar y g ives the following animated account : « This circumstance was known only to very few, as Mrs. SIDDONS sat behind the curtain in one of the boxes immediately over the stage; and although she looked well, it is so many years since she ap peared in public, that she might not have been recognised by some, even of those who were almost in the nightly habit of greeting Ler performances. Her fine features still keep their noble contour, and carried us back to to the glories of her Catharine, her Isabella, her Con.stance, and her Belvidcra ; Animus in preterita se Lotus imagine versa t. If any. thing could reconcile us to growing old (and there are very few things that can), it would be the oppor tunity we have thus enjoyed of seeing Mrs. SIDDONS in her best day, in her best parts. She watched the' progress of her niece intently, from first to last; and when we could not behold her face, we saw her hand trembling and quivering with interest on the front of the box, as Miss F. KEMBLE delivered some of the most striking passages. We would have given much to have been seated beside her, that we might have watched her revived emotions, and lis tenened to her judicious, though doubtless some what partial criticisms. We know not whether it was the effect of the presence of Mrs. SIDDONS upon her niece, or upon us, but we fancied in several scenes that we observed more likeness to her aunt, both of appearance and action, than we before ob served. After the conclusion of the tragedy, the members of her family, and others, entered Mrs. SIDDONS'S box, and received her animating congra tulations. She soon afterwards left the theatre." The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE came to town yesterday morning from their residence in Bushy Park. The Princess SOPHIA visited their Royal High nesses at their residence in the King's Palace, St. James's, and partook of a dejeune with them about two o'clock. The Duke and Duchess left town in the afternoon on their return to Bushy. The French Ambassador had a long interview with the Earl of ABERDEEN yesterday, at the Foreign Office. The American Minister also visited the Noble Earl 3 esterday. • The Russian Ambassador and Count INIAs- Tucewirz had a conference with the Earl of ABERDEEN on Tuesday afternoon, at the Foreign Office. The Hon. Mr. ADDINGTON (Minister to the Germanic Confederation) has arrived in town from the Continent. Mr. ADDINGTON attended on Tuesday, at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and transacted official business. The Hon. Gentleman has had an interview with the Earl of ABERDEEN. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has arrived at the residence of Earl BATHURST, at Cirencester, in Gloucestershire, on a visit to his Lordship. Mr. OwEN.—We understand that Mr. OWEN returned is his family at their new residence near Hamil ton, on the 12th instant, in good health and excellent spirits, after having travelled upwards of 15 ; 00 miles during the last twelve months, and experienced many va rieties of climate.— Glasgow Chronicle. Mr. Serjeant WILDE left the town on Thurs day night in his carriage and four, for Grantham, where Mrs. WILDE had been staying ; from thence he proceeded at four o'clock the next morning to London, having seve ral very pressing engagements there : before be quitted, he subscribed to the various charitable institutions, and ad ministered to the wants of the poor and needy. To the poor in the workhouse he requested Mr. CHARLES PEAR sox to distribute his bounty, which he on Monday did. We witnessed the scene, and one more gratifying we have seldom been present at. To the women he gave a quarter of a pound of tea and a shilling for sugar ; to the men the choice of either tea or tobacco, and a shilling ; and to each child he also gave a shilling. On the paper containing the tea and tobacco was the following inscription : " Po verty disgraces no man, unless it is occasioned by miscon duct ; and riches confer no honour upon their possessor, except when accompanied by virtue." Mr. PEARSON ex pressed his approbation of the cleanliness of the place, and the excellence of the food, being dinner-time when he west. We beg also to add our testimony to that cf Mr. PEA a sow, the whole appearance we think reflects great credit upon the overseers and the master of the workhouse. Newark Times. The new iron work at Coats' bridge is to open about the new year with one blast furnace. An additional blast furnace has been erected at Chapel Hall iron work, near Holytown. We regret to say that a melancholy ac cident occurred at this latter work on Tuesday. A labourer, unacquainted with the precautions necessary in managing the furnaces, ventured down into the new one in order to level some char. The furnace was partially heated at the time, and unfortunately, upon his feet pressing upon the char, the sulphuric air ac+ed so powerfully upon him that, b e f ire his situation was suspected, he was found, on being drAwn up, to be suffocated. This is a rare accident among those belonging to the trade ; in fact they do not remember a similar instance, and it is accounted for from the man being unaware of the danger.— Glasgow Chronicle. The estate of Oakfield and Lochgilphead was :old last week for 70,0001. It consists of 6,947 imperial :errs, and includes the feus of the village of Lochgilphead. It also affords three freehold qualifications. The rental is about 2,3001.---Glasgow Chronicle. _
