This „ an action to try the right of the parish of St. Bride to V t ia through the plaintiff's house on the days of the annual per ambulation o f the b o undaries. It was clear that such a 'tglit did not exist, except with respect to houses situated ?a the boundary -line of the parish. On all the authorities, Judgment must be for the plaintiff. BAIL COURT, Nor. 25. OTHO, KING OF GREECE, V. 'WRIGHT. st . The ATTO RNEY -G ENERAL inquired whether his Lord .

Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said, that with reference to the question whether a plaintiff was entitled to his costs under %eh circ ums t ances , it appeare d th at con t rary op i n i ons h a d y be en entertained, and conflicting decisions given by the "dges. Under all the circumstances, he (Mr. Justice Lit tledale) was of opinion that the rule obtained by the defen (lett ought to be made absolute in general terms, and that Plaintiff was not entitled to his costs of opposing it. Th e ATTORNEY-GENERAL—His Majesty most respect 1411Y submits to your Lordship's decision.—(A. laugh.) COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nor. 25. This was the last day of Term. The Court was oc- Fupied with motions of interest only to the parties concerned In them to a late hour in the evening. GOODE V. OLIVER. In this action the plaintiff had obtained a verdict with v,r u a gen for contribution upon a ship and cargo, for the frogshine:ar quantity of timber, consigned on board the said or ` - r i, Quebec, on account of the plaintiff, and thrown -shi c-- ""d on the passage to London, for the safety of the oe der the rest of the cargo. A rule to set aside the was obtained this Term, on the ground that the Inber had been stowed on the deck with the knowledge and consent of the plaintiff, and that it had been in such ea ses ti 'lwaYs held by English Judges that the ow ner of n ber,bein g hi mse lf a party to the improper stowage, was to 3 entitled to an y com p e nsation, should it be found neces urY fur th e safety of the ship to throw his property over b?ard. The Court gave judgment to-day in favour of th e l ' ain tifr, and discharged the Rule. LAW SERGEANTS. Ir. Sergeant TADDY in the course of the day rose, and 21tiroated to their Lordships that, on the first day of the uext T erm, i t was h i s i ntent i on, as t h e sen i or Sergeant, to s ubmit to the consideration of the Court a motion on the au c kiect of the long established and constitutional privileges the body to which he had the honour to belong. The -I °tion to w hi c h h e alluded related to the warrants of pre- Z u euee granted by his late Majesty, and the course of usi n ess since then in that Court. The Serjeants had fo rborne a ll comp l a i nt as l ong as it wa s possible, but they 11 o w felt that, in justice to themselves, they must raise the Questio n as to the right of precedence which those warrants gave, Of course it was not his intention to interfere with PP_ro patents of precedence which did not affect the peculiar ivileges of the Sergeants. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—Nor. 25. Mr EGAR V.

The plaintiff had told p n Company that he knew of some suitable land, and pro fisled to treat with the Committee for the purchase of it. Ni e evidence at the trial hal gone to prove that Mr. lean, the attorney to the Company, had received, on Person 13 , 1837, a letter written in the handwriting of a - en -rs an who had been clerk to Luttrell, desiring him to co'lltnunicate to Egar that they wished the contract to be 1 1 , 41 ,,Pleted, and would then pay him 1001. for the trouble eo had taken in making plans, &c, It was agreed that the th t e l a tr et should b e c ompleted on the sth of April ; but .on Person started up and laid claim to the plans with for e "le plaintiff had supplied the Company, and there- T ay tesired compensation.

A Solicitor appeared on behalf of Messrs. Horne, the innkeepers, to answer a complaint mule by Mr. Lart, of Wood-street, for neglecting to deliver a parcel within six hours after the arrival of the coach. Mr. Lart stated that a porter brought the parcel, and demanded Is. 5d., but on seeing that the carriage was overcharged twopenn he re fused to give him more. than 15..3d., when the porter went away, and the parcel remained at the coach office from the 17th to the 22d instant, on which day complainant sent for it, paying the is. sd. Mr. Alderman WILSON said, having no doubt that por ters were bound to deliver their parcels whether the charges on them were paid or not, he should fine Messrs. Horne 10s. for the non-delivery. The Solicitor should appeal against the decision. It was a question of vital importance to the innkeepers, who had a choice of remedies, either to detain a parcel for charges, or to deliver and sue. MA RLBOROUGH-STREET„ Mr. W. Wright coal-merchant, of Ratcliffe-cross, was summoned before Mr. Dyer, by Stowell, the informer, to answer a charge of having sent out with some coals an im perfect weighing machine. Mr. DYER said, having heard evidence, under the cir cumstances, he should inflict the reduced find of 20s. and costs. WORSHIP-STREET, William Smith, the driver of a Stoke Newington omni bus, was fined 40s. for an assault and ss. for wilful damage, he having struck a lady named Stratton, destroyed her bonnet, and knocked out one of her earrings, because she refused to submit to an overcharge for the conveyance of herself and friend to Newington. Another man belonging to the omnibus fraternity was also find for urging the de fendant to commit the outrage. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE HIPPODROME RACES. sATTJRD AY.

Mr. Molony officiated as Judge, and gave general satisfaction. The Hon S. Herbert has purchased Elis for 2,500 guineas. STAG HUNTING. The valuable Dulverton stag which escaped from the pad docks at Burton Constable more than two months ago, has since been traversing the country in every direction, and was recovered yesterday morning after a severe run of three hours and twenty minutes. For several days previous various des patches had been received by Sir Clifford Constable, announc ing- the. presence of the stag in different parts of the country, viz., at Wassand, iiilham, Carnaby, Drifheld, &c. &c. The hounds have been travelled an immense distance in search of him during the last fortnight, but to no purpose, as although his slot was still visible in several places, of course the scent had quite gone before they could arrive at the various points where the ;tag had been seen. But information having been sent to the kennel yesterday morning that he had made his appearance in a turnip field at Sproatley, which is within a mile of Burton Constable, the hounds were started with all possible despatch, notwithstanding which the stag had gone away a full hour before they had got on the scent ; for the first half-dozen fields the hounds were at fault several times, but on making Lelley the scent improved, and soon after the scent became terrific. From Lelley he made for Humbleton, and on to Aldborough, Carltons, Cowden, Rolleston Seats, and was taken in Ilornsea Mare, by means of a boat, which was fortunately at hand, after the most brilliant run that has ever been seen in this part of the country. Sir Clifford Constable and his men were well up at the end, and the stag was safely lodged in the stables of the Rev. C. Constable, of Wassand. BUNTING APPOINTMENTS.

EXPLOSION OF A BOTTLE.—AII accident hap• pened the other day in Portwood, from the expansive power of steam. A Mrs. Moores, residing at Heald's Buildings, imprudently placed a stone bottle full of water, well corked, into the oven, for the purpose of being heated, we suppose. In a short time, the water having the usual inclination to ex pand, and the force being augmented by the internal forma tion of steam, the bottle burst with a great explosion, into a thousand pieces, carrying away a part of the oven into the yard, a distance of ten yards. Mrs. Moores was sitting with her child near to the oven ; and both fortunately escaped with injuries only, from which they are rapidly recovering. Another most shocking accident from clothes taking fire occurred in t he Pea Field, Lakenham, on Tuesday last a woman of the name of Clarke went out to draw a pail of water from a well, leaving her child about four years old in the room ; during her short absence the little girl (who was not dressed) it is supposed approached the grate, or some spark fell upon her chemise, for on the mother's return she fouud the child with its eyes burnt out of the head, and otherwise so dreadfully injured that she was immediately taken to the hos pital. Death, however, put an end to the poor infant's suf. ferings the same night. —Norfolh Chronicle. Jerome Bonaparte, says the Courrier Francais, latterly known as the Prince de Montfort; was born at Ajaccio, on the 15th of December, 1784. He came to France with his family in 1793, and commenced his, studies at the College of Juilly. He took part in the expedition of St. Domingo, in 1801, as Lieutenant of a ship of the line, and afterwards saw service in some other maritime expeditions. At a later period he entered the army and made several campaigns with the Ern, peror. After the peace of Tilsit, he espoused on the 15th of August, 1807, the Princess Frederica, Catherina, daughter of the King of Wurtemberg, and was himself proclaimed King of Westphalia three days after his marriage. Having fallen with Napoleon, he with difficulty succeeded in reaching the Court of his father-in-law, where he escaped the persecutions to which all the other members of his family were exposed under the restoration. The Prince de Montfort lived totally in re tirement, and was universally beloved. For the last few months he had been travelling with his daughters in Italy, where he died at the age of 53. On Sunday evening, as the Commerce steam-boat was off the Isle of Wight, she was discovered to be on fire in the engine-room ; at the same time the wi n d was bl ow i ng v ery fresh. On the alarm being given, a compositor named Hen derson jumped overboard, and although every exertion was made, was drowned. The fire was speedily extinguished, and, except the above melancholy result, no accident occurred. 111 SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1837. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.)

EXPoRT OF COTTON YARN.—Mr. John Burn, of Manchester, has just published an account of the quantity of cotton yarn and thread exported from this country during the first nine months of the present and the corresponding period of last year; also the export to the 28th of October, 1837, compared with that of the whole year 1836. It appears from these accounts that the export of yarn is very rapidly in- creasing. Notwithstanding the temporary shock to mercan tile credit during the present year, the exports of yarn and thread to the 28th October exceeded those for the whole of last year by 3 ,183,4631b5. ; the quantities being from the Ist of January to 28th October, 1837, 88,379,1651 b. Total quantity imported in 1836, 85,395,7021 b. The largest in crease is to Russia, which has taken more by five millions of pounds than during the last year ; whilst the derangement in the East India and China t ra d e h as b een mar k e d b y a diminu tion of 2,600,0001b5., a fact w hi c h may , per h a p s , serv e to explain the active demand at present existing for thosesince mar kets. The export for France appears to have more than tre bled s ee the last year ; but that m a y p oss ibl y b e as cribed, in so me degree, to a substitution of legitimate trade for the smug glingP previously carried on through the Netherlands and other channels.—Manchester Guardian. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Leeds Intelligencer of Saturday.) MANCIIESTER.—There has been an increased demand for goods, especially in power-loom cloth for printing, with an in creased price readily made. The advance in hand-loom cloth, however, by no means corresponds with that on cotton ; and, unless a considerably increased demand should soon arise, so as to enable the maker to obtain a considerable advance on pre sent prices, he will find himself in a worse position than at any period of the recent depression, as good to be made out of the high-priced cotton will cost much more than those in stock. LEEDS.—We have nothing new to report, but, if any differ. ence, there is rather more doing. The stocks in any state but moderate, and the market limited. This fact, coupled • with the opinion now general that prices will not be lower, is evi dently causing more firmness in the trade. HUDDERSFIELD..--WC continue in the same state as reported for the last few weeks. There is a fair business doing, at fully as good prices. A better inquiry is evident for common plain goods. HALIFAX.—There was a very considerable business done to day, at fully as good terms as last week. Still we cannot state that generally improved prices were obtained; yet in a few in stances such was the fact. ROCHDALE.—The market was well attended on Monday, and flannels of fine and middle qualities sold freely, at an ad vance of from Is. to 2s. the couple. Inferior sorts kept last week's prices, but did not sell so briskly as the finer ones. In wools there was a corresponding demand, at somewhat higher prices. Oils were steady, with rather a free sale. BRADFORD.—There are some slight indications of amend ment, more business having been done, but not so much as to advance prices, or cause any sanguine expectations. Still things are better-to-day. Yarns.--There is more firmness in this market, and some little advance on certain numbers have been obtained. An average business was done. Wools. The sales in both long and short wools have been about the same as last week, and the late advance fully maintained. Blanket and flannel wool very scarce. New South Wales combing qualities •are limited in supply, and an advance is expected. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, Nor. 25. The week opened with an extremely animated demand for cotton, from both the trade and speculators, and an advance of fully 1 / 2 d. per lb. in the common and middle, and 1 / t d. per lb. in the better qualities of American, was immediately established. Since Tues day the market has been in a less excited state, but closes steadily, though some concession on the extreme rates of Monday, has, in partial instances been submitted to. The business in Sea Island is large, at an advance of 1(1. per lb. Egyptian continues in very extensive demand, and an advance of 11 / s d. per lb. has been readily paid on the current qualities; 2,000 bales have been taken on spe culation during the week. In Brazil an extensive business has been done at an advance of 'Ad. to I',d. per lb. The sales of Surat con tinue large, at improving prices ; speculators have taken 5,000 bales during the week, and an advance of 1 4d. per lb. is established on the quotations of last week. The sales of the week amount to 37,550 bales, including 6,000 American, 2,000 Egyptian, 500 Per narn, 1,000 Maranham, and 5,000 Surat on speculation. . 530 Sea Islands .... 14 to 33 I 90 Demeraras .... 9 to 11 30 Stained ditto 5 6 i 150 Peruvians ..... 81 0 8,720 Uplands 7 84, 750 Laguayras 6 0 2,560 Mobile, &c. ... 7 81'7,850 Surats .... 9,060 New rleans... 51 94-; Bengals ... 2,640 Egyptians Bi —l3 1 Carthagcnas ... 0 0 2,010 Pernams, &c B4 —lO 3 -1 Manilla 0 0 980 Bahias 0 ,140 S Maranhams 84 —lO Barbadoes 1 Sawginned 64 —Bi Smyrna o— 0 The sales to-day hardly exceed 2,000 bales, the whole of which is to consumers.

GLEIG'S NE',V WORK, " TRADITIONS OF CHELSEA COLLEGE."—From the first announcement of this new work, by the celebrated author of " The Subaltern," we predicted (says the Sunday Times) that it would prove a rich intellectual treat, and its perusal has fully realised our antici pation. It opens with a short but very interesting history of the noble institution from its origin by Charles the Second and his favourite Nell Gwynne, down to the present time. In this respect it is valuable, but it possesses other and still more at tractive features. The author, with a tact peculiar to him- self, has made all the remarkable events of time subservient to his purpose ; he has invested historical facts with the rich colouring of fiction ; and we find details relative to the wars of the Commonwealth, that are altogether new to us. The portion, however, by which we have been more than ordinarily entertained, consists of the old veteran's stories, as related by themselves to the author. None but a soldier can do justice to a soldier's life, and here we have a perfect sketch of his chequered career. Every page teems with incident and ad venture, and of every possible description from grave to gay. We feel assured that this work must become popular." THE BENCH AND TILE BAR.—These volumes are written in a free, sketchy style, with a total absence of pretension. Whatever has passed under the writer's own eye is described in a manner that shows great shrewdness in the perception of character and considerable graphic power in pourtraying it, whether the subject be one for the exercise of talent " grave or gay, lively or severe." The light and shade of this picture of the forensic Babel, Westminster Hall, is well disposed, the graver parts of the composition being agreeably relieved by touches of humour which prevent the attention from flagging, even within the gloomy prec►ncts of the Chan cery Courts. The author, though sometimes severe, and not unjustly so, upon the failings and foibles of " the profession," never indulges in that strain of criticism which betrays male volence or ill-nature.—Morning Herald. MR. BULWER'S NEW NOVEL.—We consider " Rienzi" as the master-piece of Mr. Bulwer in romance, and up to the appearance of this work we had thought " Pelham," the best of the novels, but it is surpassed by " Ernest Maltra vers ;" the design of which, the illustration of the man of genius—has been wrought out with a higher excellence. .4 Pelham" is more pointed and brilliant in parts, but the aim of " Maltravers" ranges above point and brilliancy—it is more even, on a more lofty level. We fancy that we can here mark the difference between the young author who seized upon the attention of the public by sparkling thoughts and epigrammatic effects, and the writer of assured reputation, confident of being followed as he pursues his story, and regardful only of what pertains to the design or the action of it. The handling of this work is indeed eminently easy and steady, nothing appears strained in it, there is the smoothness of the most perfect faci- lity; and there is the product of the greatest powers of author ship ; we have read it with:an interest and au admiration not to be expressed in the hackneyed terms of praise. The variety, the still advancing merit, and the rapidity of Mr. Bulvver's productions, altogether make a phenomenon in literature. Examiner. MRS. GORE'S NEW WORK.—We are requested to state that the new work by the authoress of " Mothers and Daughters," entitled " Mary Raymond, and other Tales," is published this day by Mr.. Colburn, of Groat Marlborough street, and may now be had of all booksellers. Agents--for Scotland, Messrs. Bell and Bradfute, Edinburgh; for Ireland, Mr. John Cumming, Dublin. THE NABOB'S WIFE, &c.—We are requested to state that the new novel entitled " The Nabob's Wife," by the author of " Village Reminiscences," is published this day by Mr. Bentley, New Burlington-street, who has also just pub lished " Walsingham, the Gamester," by Captain Chamier, R.N., author of " Ben Brace," " Life of a Sailor," &c.— Agents—for Scotland, Messrs. Bell and Bradfute, Edinburgh ; for Ireland, Mr. John Cumming, Dublin ; and may now be obtained of all booksellers. The only salmon, we believe, at the late City ban quet, was that served up at her Majesty's table. It was one of two taken in the river Tivy, where it joins the boundaries of the counties of Carmarthen and Cardigan, at the village of Kenarth, by a poor lame fisherman, of the name of William Griffiths. Perceiving the smallest of these fish, weighing about ten pounds, to be what is technically called a new sal mon, that is a fish in prime order for the table at a very early season, William determined to gratify, his loyal feelings by contributing this prime morceau for the' use of the roya(ban quet, and with characteristiC Welsh loyalty, despatched it by the mail to the Lord Mayor, to form part of the civic enter tainment given to the Queen. —Shrewsbury Chronicle. SECRET OF HEALTII.—With regard to exercise, judge between the two following extremes :—A fox-hunter can get drunk every night in the year, and yet live to an old age ; but then he is all exercise and no thought. A seden tary scholar shall not be able to get drunk once a year with im punity • but then he is all thought and no exercise. Now the great object is neither to get drunk, nor to be all exercise, nor to be all thought ; but to enjoy all our pleasures with a sprightly season. The four ordinary secrets of health are— early rising, exercise, i.ersoual cleanliness, and rising from the table with the stomach unoppressed. There may be sorrows in spite of these, but they will be less with the m, and nobod y can be truly comfortable without them. COURT CIRCULAR.

LISBON, Nov. 14.--The following notice has been posted at the Exchange by her Britannic Majesty's ponsul ‘; NOTICE. " Masters of British vessels are hereby requested, on enter ing the port of Lisbon, to present at her Majesty's Consulate an account of all charges to which they have been sajected at the Portuguese Consulates in Great Britain, with reference to their ships' papers, specifying the different items for which fees have been demanded, and stating whether they have been called upon at such consulates to present cockets of the'cargo, and to pay a fee for attaching each cocket to the manifesto for signature, on clearing out for ports in Portugal. " W. SMITH. " British Consulate, Lisbon, Nov. 1837." • SOMETHING CURIOUS.--It is understood that Sir Francis Burdett is now preparing an eloquent defence of the King of Hanover. It is entitled Vindiciec Ernestiance, and opens with the well-known sentiment from Horace ; " Justum et tenacem propositi virum, non civium ardor prava jubentium —mente quatit solids." It is to be garnished with quotations from Shakspeare, Horace, and Magna Charts ; and these last are also to be in Latin. It may be remembered that Sir Francis, when arrested in his residence and carried to the Tower for calling the House of Commons a mockery of re presentation, was employed at the moment in the interesting duty of examining a translation of Magna Charta into Latin by his son, and pointing out to tie boy the true sense of some passage of that instrument, which greatly restrict the powers of Royalty. The Tories laughed at the incident as a coup but that translation reminds Sir Francis of one of tdhe cou e p .theatre; e m .; memorable sacrifices of his life in " the geed old cause," and is now at dear to him as the original. The Latin will have the farther advantage of being much more intelligi ble to the learned German than the rusty old English of King John's days. He anticipates the surprise and delight of Prince Ernest when he finds his proceedings vindicated by Sir Francis Burdett, and on the principles of Magna Charta.— Scotsman.

The following are the resolutions moved on Friday night: by Lord John Russell, in th, F.; liouse of Commons, and agreed to ".That• in the preSent- session of Parliament all Orderi of the Day set down in the Order-book for 'Mondays, Wednes days, and Fridays, shall be disposed•of before the House will proceed upon any motions o` which notices 3111111 be entered in the Order-book. " That upon days appropriated to Orders, and a question being put from the Chair that any Order of the Day be read, no amendment shall be proposed, except that the other Orders of the Day, or that any Order set 'down for she same day, be dbw read; but that thi; regulation shall not apply to the case of a Committee of Supply, or of a Committee of W.iys and Means. • " That no Notice shall hereafter be given beyond the period which shall include the four days next following on which Notices are entitled to precedence, due allowance being made for any intervening adjournment of the House, and the period being in that case so far extended as .te include four Notice days falling during the sitting of the House." The other resolution, on which Mr. Flume moved the adjournment of the debate, was— " That with the exception of Notices already given it shall not be permitted to any Member to fix any day for a Notice given by him beyond the term of fifteen days from the time of giving such Notice." After the division the resolution was, by leave, withdrawn, though the reports in the morning papers represent . it:to have been carried. The " Votes" of the House do not say whether it is to be reconsidered. SOUTHAMPTON. THE LATE DREADFUL FIRE. The Jury, summoned by the Coroner to inquire into the cause of the death of the twenty-two persons who lost their lives in endeavouring to save the property of Messrs. King and Co., from their stores, durifig the fire en the night of the 7th inst., brought their labours to a close on Tuesday evening, the 21st instant, without being able to elicit any evidence to prove satisfactorily how the fire originated. They return fifteen as having been killed by the falling of the walls and other burning materials, and seven who were taken out alive, but have since died in consequence of the burns and other in 'uries they received—that the explosions were occasioned by the quantities of turpentine, varnish, oil, and other substances contained in the building; they complained of the badness of the supply of water—the delay in the arrival of the fire engines, their defective state, and the inefficiency of the fire department ; 'tis lamentable that so many valuable lives should have been sacrificed. Charity sermons have been preached in all the churches and chapels, at which considerable sums for the relief of the sufferers have been obtained. Sub scriptions have also been entered into in Winchester, Andover, Ramsey, and the neighbourhood, in the whole amounting to near 3,0001. ; but, large as this sum appears, it is not at all equal to the amount wanted for the numbers (at least seventy) rendered destitute by this calamity ; and it is hoped that other towns will follow the example set by those in our immediate neighbourhood. ISLE OF WIGHT. CIIURCH RATES POPULAR.—A Church-rate of 3d. in the pound was unanimously voted at the Northwood vestry on Thursday last, for the purpose of purchasing a new fire engine for that parish, and putting the old one in repair. The requisition for calling this vestry was signed by nearly all the inhabitants of West Cowes, without regard to creeds, they appearing very properly to have taken into consideration the object of the rate rather than the name of it. Still it is to be regretted that there are no other parish funds out of which these very necessary articles can be furnished. ,The Earl of Shannon and family have taken up their residence for the winter at their seat, East Cowes Castle. THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA'S TOUR. ST. PETERSBMIGI-1, Nov. I I .—His Majesty, the Emperor, as we have already said, arrived at Tiflis on the 20th October. On the following motniug at nine o'clock he attended D,ivine Service in the Cathedral, and then reviewed the Eridavr Regiment of Carbineers. At twelve o'clock the Chans and the principal natives of the Transcaucasian provinces bad the honour to be presented to his Majesty. After this his Majesty visited the building appropriated to the staff of the Transcau casian corps, the gymnasium, the arsenal, the barracks, the school for the nobility of Georgia, and found everything, to his satisfaction. On the 23d at Vrro o'clock, the Princes and Nobles of Georgia who were in his Majesty's suite as sembled on horseback in the space l_Sore the house in which his Majesty resided, where they exhibited in his presence their skill in horse racing and various national games. During the stay of his Majesty in Tiflis, the city was illuminated every evening. On the 25th, at six in the morning, his . Majesty set out for Stawropol, and passed the night at Quiscbeta, at the foot of the principal pass over Mount Caucasus. In order to make the journey over the mountains more easy, his Majesty mourned. his horse. This journey was the more difficult, as the mountain summits, Gut Gora and Krestorda, were obscured by the driving snow, and the way was covered with ice, the cold being five degrees below Reaumur). The mountain was ero;sed without acci dent, and the Emperor having continued his journey ai.•ng the Terek to Kasbek, reached Wladikawkas, where be passed the night. On the 26th, deputations I . :m:1 several tribes of mountaineers living beyond the Terek had the honour to be presented to his Majesty. On the 27th, the EMI.% ror pre ceeded on his journey in a northern direction, by way of Plati gorak, Georgijewsk, and Stawropol, every where cornpli nented by deputations from the Circassian tribes, and visiting the public establishments. At four in the afternoon of the 30th, his Majesty left Stawropol, to proceed to the Don, and arrived on the 31st at three in the afternoon at the Stanitza of Axed, where he was received by his eldest son, the Grand Duke Alexander, Hetman of all the Cossacks, who had arrived at Mad on the - same day. On the Ist of November, at nine in the morning, his Majesty and the Grand Duke left Axad, and arrived at half-past ten at Newotscherskask, which they entered on horseback with a numerous suite. At the triumphal arch Lis Majesty was re• ccived by the Deputy Iletman of the Cossacks, all the Ge nerals and staff officers, and an immense concourse of people, and attended to the cathedral, where a circle was formed of standards, &c., in tha centre of which his Majesty and the Grand Duke were received by the A7-ebbishop of Tcherkask and Georgijewsk with the cross and holy water. After a short prayer in the church, his Majesty returned to the circle, received from the Deputy Hetman the Gent:tars baton, and delivered it to the Grand Duke Alexander, the Hetrnan of all the Cossacks. The other insignia of the dignity of Hetman were conveyed to the residence of the Grand Duke. A sa lute from the artillery of the place accompanied this military ceremony.

You would think I came over here to see a spectacle. In point of mere spectacles the French excel you—at least they would excel you if they had the same noble streets in Paris which you have in London. We arc essentially a more theatrical people than the English ; and not only our taste, but our inclination to enjoy scenic pleasures, is far more lively. The pleasure of the moment (I am s-)rry to say) is too much with the French the business of life. I can perceive that it is the women, who, in England, arc the great sight-see'crs—in France it is the life:). The men will not encumber themselves with women in - .Cranee, when so serious an afrai-, to them, as a little rational display is going on. I may refine too much in my philosophy; but I think I see, in this remarkable difference between the English and French, either a cause or an effect in account ing for the better dowesticity of the Englishwomen. Business is the Englishman's pleaiiire, and pleasure is the Englisliwn man's business ; that is, when her husband's pleasure, which is business in reality, affords the rare opportunity of accommo dating her. Pleasure is an interruption to, or at least a te dious suspension of, the Englishman's ordinary pursuits. I could read that in the faces of ninety-nine out of the hun dred yesterday ; and I could read, moreover, that your women, after that day devoted to them, tl bok for another holiday for months to come. But do not suppose that I saw anything like dissatisfaction in the mnss of human countenances before me. I wish that I could see such loyalty in France. Ido not speak of shouting and uproarious loyalty, the mere excitement of the moment, but of steady, settled attachment to the form of GO 7 vernment, and to the Sovereign as its crowning emblem, which I witnessed yesterday. Ido not think that any nation ever presented so fine • mor al and political a spectacle as that. The royal pageant was grand—but the grand and glorious pageant was the people ! With all the con ventional distance which Englishmen observe to wards each other, every man was . civil and accommodating to his neighbour in the crowd—with a body of the proudest troops in the world, interspersed in such a crowd, the very horses seemed to rec o g nise even y our shoeless urchins as having toes not to be trod upon ; and with a poli ce so nu merous that a stranger might reasonably have supposed, at first sight, that they were only there for the convenience of the public. A people, usually bustling and uncivil, con gregating on such a day without the slightest squabble or collision—a military without hauteur on their side or po pular prejudice on the other—and more than all, a po lice without despotic power or suspected espionage—your Queen, if she understood all this as we Frenchmen do, might well feel proud of her position and r eception. And how different the situation of almost every other Sovereign in Europe—but I will not cloud the bright picture which is still vivid in my mind's eye, by r eference to our darker politics on the Continent."- A Correspondeut of the Gardener's Gm'ette.
