COURT CIRCULAR. _ The Queen and Prince Albert walked in the planta tions of Osborne House yesterday forenoon. The Royal Family took their accustomed pony and walking exercise yesterday. The Hon. Miss Napier, Maid of Honour in Waiting left Osborne House yesterday morning. Her Majesty and Prince Albert will, it is expected, leave Osborne House, at twelve o'clock this day, for Arundel Castle, Sussex, to honour the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk with a visit. Their Royal llighnesses the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg Strelitz, attended by Baron Knesebeck, took leave of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and the Princess Mary, at Kew, yesterday, and proceeded to the Continent, travelling to Dover by the South-Eastern Railway. Mr. Cavan and Mr. Barkly had an interview with Earl Grey yesterday at the Colonial-office. His Excellency Count de St. Aulaire, the French Ambassador, arrived at his residence in Manchester square, yesterday, from the Continent. Mr. Sohn Wood, Chairman of the Excise, had an in terview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday at his official residence, in Downing-street. Mr. Guthrie bad an interview with Sir George Grey, yesterday, at the Home-office. Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening, from the Colonial-office, for the Governor of New South Wales.

Earl Grey arrived in town yesterday afternoon, from a visit to Lord Ashburton, at his seat, the Grange, Hants. _ Sir James and Lady Ann Mackenzie have arrived al Farrance's Hotel, Upper Belgrave-street, from a tour o: visits. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE TATTERSALL'S.—MoNDAY. The attendance yesterday was thin, business languid in the extreme until late in the afternoon, was, at the best, flat and unimportant. The principal transactions on the Derby were 750 to 100 agst Tan Tromp (20 to 1 offered once, to a score), 25 to 1, in ponies, agst Planet, who, for some time past, has been on the totter, 1000 to 35, four or five times, agst Glontilt, 1,500 to 30, 1000 to 25, and 450 to 10 agst Wanota, 2000 to 40 agst lied Hart, 1,500 to 25 agst the Liberator, 5000 to 75 agst the colt out of Calypso, and 1000 to 10 agst the colt out of Calypso's dam—the Sister to Cobweb colt we heard, was backed for a small sum at 25 to 1, but certainly was not in demand, 20 to 1 having been offered in vain. The Leamington Steeple Chases were men tioned occasionally, hut to very little purpose ; " weather permitting," they will take place to-morrow and Thurs day. The prices subjoned are made op to the close of the room : ROYAL MILITARY STEEPLE CHASE. 7 to 2 agst Mr. Rowland's Red Lancer Offers to back Red Lancer agst anything, and to lay 9 to 2 agst Switcher. LEAMINGTON OPEN STEEPLE CHASE. 7 to 2 agst Lord Strathmore's Sacrifice 8 to 1 agst Mr. P. P. Roles Peter Simple. CHESTER CUP (ENTER OR NOT). 1000 to 20 agst Mr. W. Scott's Erin go bragh—taken. DERBY. 15 to 2 sgst Lord Eglinton's Van Tromp—taken 15 to 1 agst Mr. Bowes's Epirote—take 16 to 1 25 to 1 agst Mr. Martyn's Planet—taken 28 to 1 agst Mr. Mostyn's Glentilt—taken freely 28 to 1 agst Mr. Payne's Cobweb colt 30 to 1 agst Mr. Bowes's Lunedal 33 to 1 agst Mr. Worley's Old Port—taken and aft. offd, 40 to 1 agst Lord Caledon's Wanota 40 to 1 agst Mr. Jardine's Johnny Armstrong 45 to 1 agst Mr. W. Scott's Christopher—take 50 to 1 50 to 1 agst Duke of Richmond's Red Hart—taken 60 to 1 agst Mr. W. O'Brien's Liberator 66 to 1 agst Mr. A. Johnstone's c, out of Calypso—tak, and afterwards offered 1000 to 10 agst Major St. Paul's c, out of Calypso's dam—t. OAKS. 20 to 1 agst Mr. J. Day's Farmer's Daughter—taken. The rumour that Mr. Mostyn's horses were about to be removed to John Scott's stables, turns out to be pre mature—at all events no authorised declaration of such an intention has been made. _ _ _ - ACCIDENTS — lit HUNTING.—Lord Gardiner met with an accident while hunting two or three days since, and dislocated his collar-bone. His Lordship being thus " hors de combat," has directed that his hunters shall be sold at Tattersall's on Monday week.—The Earl of Gran ville also had a fall last Friday in the early part of a run with the Royal Buck Hounds in the Vale of Aylesbury, and is reported to have dislocated his ankle. CHESTER RACES.-11-17. At a meeting of the Ccmmittee on Saturday last, the Spring Races were fixed to commence on Tuesday, the 27th of April, being in the blank week between the Newmarket First and Second Spring Meetings. PEDESTRIANISM. THE SEVEN-311LE MATCH AT WALWOPTH.—The walking match of seven miles, for a silver watch, yester day, brought to the starting point eight competitors. Of the merits of five of them our pen declines record. For the first five miles it was decidedly a manly struggle, and well contested, between J. Morgan and F. Dimond (of Pimlico). At starting Dimond took the lead, and held it until 4i miles had been covered, whew Morgan, who had been in close and earnest attendance, gave him the go-by. Dimond still, however, persevered, although he lost time by a change of shoes. Eventually Morgan walked in a winner by nearly the circumference of the ground, which we take to be about 400 jards. The time was lh. 4m. 28sees., which is not bad considering the season, the ground, and the men. The hurdle race did not come off, owing to there not being sufficient entries. GREAT RUNNING MATCH Fort 201.—Yesterday, the quarter of a mile race between Johnson, of Holloway, and Mills, of London, came off in the North-read, Islington. At the start, Mills got the lead, which he kept for 100 yards. His opponent then came up, and both men made a struggle for the goal, which Johnson reached first, and won the match. The quarter of a mile was covered in fifty-eight seconds. STAPLETQN AND SULLIVAN.—These men ran their 150 yards race yesterday, on Wandsworth-common. Stapleton, against whom the odds were laid, got the lead, held it, and ran in a winner by three yards at least. PROMENADE CONCERTS. The small prices of admission to these concerts, com bined with the talent which M. Jullien, and latterly, Mr. Alcroft have assembled, have rendered these recrea tions of a highly popular nature. Various has been the talent engaged, which comprise that skilled in wind as well as string instruments, and is composed of English as well as foreign. On one evening Koenig might rend the air with his rich blasts that die away in echo, and on another, our little countryman, Richardson, may be heard warbling, bird-like notes, that on reaching the ear, confirm the mind, that as great a player may be an Englishman as a person from the sun-burnt soil of Italy. Fresh arrivals are also secured to render these concerts attractive. One of these appeared for the first time before an English audience on Friday last. Though unknown here in person, he bears a name that has long been before the public, and to that name another laurel is added by the youthful aspirant to English patronage. At Covent Garden on Friday evening, Frederick Wilhelm Kreutzer, nephew of the celebrated composer Rodolphe Kreutzer, performed a solo on the violin—De Berriot's seventh air. Although the house was erowded to excess, and noisy in the extreme, before the young violinist had completed the first movement, all was still, which still ness was only interrupted by repeated bursts of applause. In rapidity of execution, this artist excels to a great de free, nor is he less remarkable for his fine tone and feel ing. For the sake of his uncle, who has earned a name that will ever be respected by the musical world, we wish him that success which his talent merits. ITALIAN OPERA AT COVENT-GARDEN.—After much indecision and variety of opinion, it has been posi tively determined by the managers of this new company that a ballet shall be added to the operatic performances. This settles a question which has been a subject of dis cussion since the earliest origin of the speculation. MARRIAGE OF CAPTAIN DALRYMPLE, M.P.—On Friday last, a meeting was held in the Town-hall, Stran raer, to devise measures for making a public demonstra tion in honour of the marriage of Captain Dalrymple to the daughter of the Duke de Coigny, which is expected to take place oa the 9th proximo. Sir John M.`Taggart, M.P., was in the chair. The meeting unanimously re solved that measures should be taken for the purpose of making a public demonstration, and a large and influen tial committee of the inhabitants of the town, and of the tenantry of the Rhins, was chosen for the purpose of carrying out the resolutions. At a meeting of the com mittee, held on Tuesday last, it was resolved th a t, on the day o f ? the marriage, there should be public dinners in Stranraer, Glenluce, and Kirkcolm, and a grand ball in the evening, to be held in the spacious apartments of the Stranraer Academy, where efficient arrangements are in progress for the accommodation of the very large com pany that is expected to attend.—Dumfries Herald. DEAT' OF SiR G. MACPHERSON GRANT, BART. —On the 24th ult. this honourable baronet died at Bal lindalloch Castle, in the county of Elgin. He was born Feb. 25, 1781, and married, August 26, 1803, Mary, eldest daughter of Thomas Carnegy, Esq , of Craigo, Forfarshire, and has issue three sons and three daugters, the eldest, John (born 3d August, 1804), succeeds to the title and estates. Sir George represented the county of Sutherland in Parliament for 17 years, from 1809. In 1806 he inherited, as heir of provision to his father's maternal uncle, General James Grant, the estate of Bal lindalloch, and assumed the surname of Grant. He was created a baronet in 1833. The present baronet mar ried, in September, 1836, Marion Helen, eldest daughter of Mango Nutter Campbell, Esq., of Ballimore, Argyll shire, and has a numerous family. He was sometimes secretary of legation at Lisbon. The Macphersons of Invereshie are chiefs of a large tribe which for ages has been distinguished by the designation of " Slioch Gil es," and which is composed of many considerable fami lies, not only of the name of Macpherson, hut of others, us the Gillieses; Tun s COUNT DE MONTEMOLIN.—His Royal High ness, atter having -been engaged in the transaction of business and in giving audience to several Spanish gen tlemen of disti n ction , received visits as usual from vHairhounsesnso,sblemdekntianniii'nemen. Amongst his Royal visitors were—Viscount Strangford, the Earl o,temLorn.sdale, Viscount Ranelagh, Mr. Quentin Dick,M.P nrr R oyal High- Pollington, M.P., &c. In th.eltrtilwick'hMis.P., Viscount High ness visited the National Gallertyern'ono ghnessvi square, paint.and examined with much interest 'the calle ctionafaigurp.f i e t m e d e th e ings.

The lamentations of their de parted countrymen resound in their ears from the dis tance of bygone days and the depths of their violated graves. It is impossible, no doubt, for the dissevered remnants of this population to re-assert their own independence, to reclaim their own hearths, to re establish their own principality. They look to the liberated kingdoms of Europe, they look to the honour and the magnanimity of flourishing nations, they look to those Governments which are based upon the adamant of freedom and enlightenment. From these they expect the vindication of their un merited woes. To propose to embark thousands to reclaim the earth of strangers, whilst millions of waste acres surround-their own homesteads, is an idea the madness of which lies palpably on the surface. Again, the expense attendant upon it would be infinitely greater than what could be incurred by inviting the industrious and willing poor to drive the plough through their own native soil. Emigration, as one of a series of remedial measures, and when conducted upon a scale of liberality and benevolence, might undoubtedly present attractive advantages; but, to suggest it, at a moment like this, and in an isolated shape, when the people are on the brink of famine, is one of the most dangerous propositions that could be started. And this we press upon the attention of the landed proprietary, that if they are favourable, as they profess, and we believe them to be, to the maintenance of the Union, they could do nothing more calculated to strengthen the repeal of it, than by yielding their consent to wholesale emigration. We adjure " the constituted guardians of the poor" in Clare and other counties to be wise in time. Upon the movements and intentions of the Ad ministrations of London and Paris there are a thou sand conjectures, but few that are entitled to a mo ment's consideration. The Cracow annexation has actually jeopardised the very existence of the Guizot Ministry. Rumours innumerable are floating about the vicinity of the Tuileries, and it is now tolerably certain that the proposed successor of M. GUIZOT is the statesman whose eva cuation of Ancona has rendered his name somewhat unpopular amongst his warlike country men. We allude of course to Count MOLE. There is unquestionably much sagacity in that insinuation of the Courrier Francais, that M. TRIERS, amidst all these official arrangements, is merely " lurking be hind the scenes, waiting to mount upon the stage" im mediately there is any favourable opportunity. There is a preposterous corollary, however, to these reports in relation to the protest said to have been forwarded to Lord PONSONEY, at Vienna, by her MAJESTY'S Minister for Foreign Affairs. The explanation given in the Parisian press of the character and tone of this supposititious document is manifestly inconsistent and improbable ; and is not assureily the English remonstrance at the atrocious convention of the 6th of November. Of that convention the only apology pub lished under the auspices of the Northern patriecides is the article inserted in the Austrian Observer of the 20th ultimo—an article founded upon the doctrines of despotism, feudalism, ignorance, depravity, and expe diency. It is only by snapping their fingers at all moral and Divine law that the Austrian and Rus sian Emperors can maintain the advisability of such proceedings as the incorporation of Cracow with the territories of the Kaiser FERDINAND. It is only by deriding all the holiest laws of nature and revelation that they can have the audacity to insist upon the justice of their behaviour. Madrid papers of the 23d have been received. The Herald() admits that a Carlist band has ap peared in the neighbourhood of Gerona, but professes to entertain no apprehension of any serious conse quences. There was some excitement on the subject of the approaching Madrid elections. Senor MoN, the Finance Minister, who represents one of the dis tricts of Madrid, will be opposed by a formidable competitor, viz., Senor SALAAIAACA, the rich banker. MADRID BOLSA, Nov. 23.—The Funds continued stationary. The Three per Cents. were done at 34+ ; the Four per Cents., at 20f ; the Five per Cents., at 21}; the Coupons, at 191 ; and the Debt without Interest, at 64. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The Journal des Debuts pub!ishes a letter from London, dated the 27th of November, which gives the following as the substance of Lord PALMER STON'S protest against the annexation of Cracow : " Lord Palmerston yesterday dispatched to Lord Ponsonby, the English Ambassador at Vienna, the pro test for some days past talked of, against the coup (1'44 with which the city of Cracow has been visited. In this lon g document, which is drawn up in dry and co ld t erms , Lord Palmerston argues on the supposition that the usurpation of Cracow is, as yet, but a project, and strives to point out the inconveniens of such a measure. He next discusses the two questions of right and neces sity. As regards the question of right, he urges, ap pealing to the text of the treaties, that the stipulations agreed to in a solemn engagt meat by eight Powers cannot be modified and annulled by three of them. As regards the question of necessity, Lord Palmerston does not admit the resolution which northern courts seem willing to adopt. That three of the most powerful States of Europe should invoke necessity to destroy the existence of a poor little republic, the population of which reckons not 130,000 souls, is inad missible. The Powers also complain of Cracow having become a focus of conspiracies and political intrigues; but, admitting the real ty of the allegation, two supposi tions present themselves—either those conspirators are people belonging to the country, or they have come from other parts. In the second case, it is not Cracow, but the Powers themselves who are to be blamed, inasmuch as their territories surround on all sides that of the republic. In the first case, is it possible to believe that such a city as Cracow would refuse, on the demand of three such Powers as Prussia, Austria, and Russia, to check the conspiracies, and put an end to the intrigues of which those Powers would then have such just reason to complain; and, if it committed the folly of not com plying, what difficulty could ever be encountered by the three Powers thus reduced, to take justice into their own hands within the limits of the treaties? Let the spoilers of Eastern Europe hearken to the cry of the banished countrymen of SoniEsxr, let them listen to the voice of those whose souls are ani mated with the great memory of Kosausx.o. It proclaims : " You have seen Poland protest in arms on a hundred fields of battle—you will see it again ; she prepares her self for fresh struggles, and this last attack on her, by causing her efforts to be redoubled, will hasten her de liverance. "The treaty of Vienna no longer remains to Europe ; that part of spoliation, which was never binding on Poland has been destroyed, by its very authors. In its place will arise a more powerful alliance of people, which nothing will rend asunder." Those threats may appear impossible of accom plishment to the monarchs of Russia, Prussia, and Austria at this moment, but a persistance in their foregoing atrocities will ultimately render such threats no longer contemptible. The Northern Powers must be warned by the reflection that the laws of GOD and man cannot be scorned for ever with impunity. " Sucb, it is said, is pretty nearly the protest of the English Minister for Foreign Affairs. A copy of this document has been also dispatched to Lord Normanby, in order that it be communicated to M. Guizot." It would appear, from an article in the Courrier Francais, that the Ministerial crisis is over, and that M. GuizoT remains in office. According to the Courrier the choice was only between M. GuizoT and Count MOLE, between whom there is scarcely any perceptible difference : By his concessions and pusillanimity, M. Guizot has encouraged the Absolutist Powers to consummate the most revolting iniquity. And who is designed as a suc cessor, when the France of July shudders with impa • tience and indignation, and burns with revenge ? Count Mo 4 !—the man who evacuated Ancona ; the man, who, at our very gates, allowed a portion of the territory of Belgium to be mutilated ; tho man, finally, whom M. Guizot himself, during the storms of the coalition, ac cused from the tribune, and with justice, of having suf fered the dignity of the country to be degraded on all the points of Europe, where international questions were agitated. M. Guizot or M. Mobi ! The 15th of April or the 29th of October ! Behold the alternative held out to France, when she is insulted and defied beyond her frontiers, and when to punish such insolence she would require all her energy and patriotism." If the following, which is the conclusion of the same article, is to be believed, M. GuizoT ' s threats last week against the Northern Powers were mere words " full of sound and futry, signifying nothing":— What is to be done with Ireland ? The question has been repeated for years. No matter how great is the sum of legislation for Ireland comprised within even the last quarter of a century—no matter how large the boon, be it essentially political, social, or purely pecuniary, for which the Irish have thundered, and not in vain, at the doors of the United Parlia ment,—no matter how intensely successive Cabinets, whether swayed by the genius of a CANNING, GREY, MELBOURNE, PEEL, or RUSSELL, have devoted their energies to the political redemption of the sister isle—no matter how much of the time of each session has been given up, and in an increased ratio,:with the view of mastering her difficulties,—every year the cry seems to become louder, and the question to be more emphatically put, of what is to be done with Ireland? As yet all would appear to have been in vain. A variety of treatment has, in turn, been resorted to, but always with an illusory result. The coercive and the lenitive system, the rigorous and the ameliorative, has been, as it were, by fits and starts, adopted, and yet, with all our endeavours to lay the foundations of peace and prosperity, we appear to have been only grasping at shadows. If anything were required to add to the conviction of the distracted condition of Ireland, and of the perplexity of attempting to improve it, it would be found in the discordant views which the Irish them selves take of the state of their country, and in the nature of the suggestions, for the most part crude, wild, and efficient, which are propounded on all sides for its improvement. It is a medical rule, that when a man is sick, he should never prescribe for him self. Yet, in Ireland, where the body politic is so deeply affected, and different parties are severally willing to quack themselves with some peculiar nostrum, the notion is en t er t a i ne d b y a l arge body of the inhabitants that, with a domestic legis lature, all their ailments would cease ; that if they had only the power of swallowing every political dose as rapidly as it could be compounded, Ireland would be completely revivified. It is well for Ireland that she has Great Britain to advise and control her in her hours of affliction and disquietude. The intelligence from the other side of St. George's Channel is by no means inspiriting. Severe destitu tion continues to prevail, particularly to the south ward and westward, and the impositions that have been practised upon the relief committees, by whom persons have been employed on public works, whose circumstances are not sufficiently distressed to entitle them to relief, to the exclusion and prejudice of others whose want is excessive, have in many parts spread a a spirit of dissatisfaction and disaffection which must be promptly allayed. This, we have no doubt, will be quickly accomplished, as every devisable means is bein and heartless gfollowedupw intrudersithalacri upon h alacrity for expelling these cunning benevolent resources of the public. There is nothing, however, we regard with so much of apprehension as to their probable consequences unless immediately and authoritatively discounter nanced, than the recent proceedings of the gentry in the county of Clare. The board of guardians for the union of Kilrush have passed resolutions, and addressed a memorial to the Prime Minister, recom mendatory of a wholesale scheme of emigra tion, as the best method of relieving Ireland from its cumulative destitution. They suggest that the present remedies of the Government are utterly inadequate to meet the calamities of the country, and therefore jump to the conclusion that thousands must be shipped off from their father land to cultivate large unreclaimed tracts of our colonies. It may be true, and we have been of those who have indicated the necessity, that—to use the words of the memorial—" some more effective and permanent measures" are required to get rid of the universal pauperism, with its concomitant evils, of Ireland. But, " the more haste the worst speed," and notwithstanding the memorialists allege they have ‘minutely investi ga t e d" the state of their electoral divisions, which has led them to " hasten to lay their deep conviction before the Executive, and not to hesitate to su gges t an extens i ve s y s tem of emigration by families," we dislike the precipitateness with which they have arrived at their conclusions, and unreservedly impugn the soundness of their judg ment. What I are th e landed proprietors to turn round up on a h ar d y race of peasantry, and, addressing them lik e so man y ca ttle or bestial droves, to exclaim, " Th ere are too m any of you here; be off to the near es t por t s; s hips are there lying in readiness to transport you to other climes. Food and labour may or will be within your reach on strange shores, but, believe us, that at home, the land of your birthright, and that of your forefathers, you look for these p r i m iti ve blessings in vain." We warn the landed gen t r y of Ireland agains t co un° . nancing for a m omen t an y such project, one so re volting to the social f ee lings of any population , and particularly to so exc itable an one as the Irish. Once let their language and councils take this direction, and the torch of rebellion will be lighted up from one end of Ireland to the other. Such a storm would arise as would not be, easily hushed. i " M. Guizot keeps his portfolio, and, as it is no more contemplated—we do not say to act against the Northern Powers, but—to protest against their infamous usurpa tion, we may now appreciate the value of those trans ports of rage of which the Ministerial journals offered to us the spectacle during some days. It was on the 6th of November that the Powers signed their monstrous convention ; and, although twenty-three days have since elapsed, France has not yet even expressed her displea sure. Our rulers await, or rather pretend to await, that England come to a resolution, as if, in such a question, France was not bound to assume the initiative ! As if England, in spite of herself, will not be compelled to follow the example set to her by France !" M. GUIZOT has, it is said, protested, but it is tole rably certain that he will do no more. A protest against the annexation of Cracow, from the Central Polish Committee of Paris, signed by Count DE LASTETRIE, the President, and by M. VAVIN, the Secretary, a Member of the Chamber of Deputies is published in the Courrier Francais of Sunday. Provision riots are taking place in the French pro • vinces ; the distress consequent on the scarcity of food is becoming general, and in many of the de partments is driving the people to desperation. At Chateaurenault and at Azay le Rideau, a mob of 600 persons took forcible possession of the market-place, notwithstanding the presence of a brigade of gen darmerie, and forced the farmers to sell their corn at two francs a bushel, and in many cases carried it off without paying for it at all. They also took possession of the grain stores, and sold all the wheat they contained. The Reforme states that there has been a rise dur ing the last week in the price of wheat, in the corn markets of Bergerac, Montlucon, Treguier, Luneville, Bayeux, and Charmes, averaging 50 centimes the hectolitre; whilst there has been a fall in the corn markets of Louviers, Lille, Vic-sur-Ainse, Coulom miers, averaging if. the hectolitre. The Three per Cents. were done in the Passage de l'Op&a, on Sunday, at 82f. sc. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, NOVEMBER 30.

ELIZA Coox.—We observe with pleasure the an nouncement of the intention of the proprietors of the Weekly Dispatch newspaper to present their sub. scribers with a likeness of this distinguished poetess. Those who have lingered over the beauties of " Melaia," who have laughed at the exub erant sprightliness of her satirical pieces, and who have been moved to tears by her tender and pathetic ballads, will welcome so suitable a memento of this eminent songstress. And they will welcome it none the less because it is copied from a portrait which is acknowledged to be absolutely marvellous for its vraisemblanco, representing not merely the moulding of her poetic head and features, but the indefinable expression of intelligence and gentleness by which the latter are illumined. The popularity of the writings of Miss ELIZA Coox—a popularity which is diffused among the million both in the cities and the homesteads—is attributable to no adventitious aid, it is owing to no spurious ebullition of feeli ng, it has originated alone in the merits of those charm ing compositions. They have won their own way, and they have acquired so much celebrity became their authoress does not content herself with penning glib rhythm and melodious rhyme; she does more— she writes from the dictates of a warm and over flowing heart. Those who have read her lighter productions know that she can evoke our laughter. Those who have read the " Old Arm Chair"—and who has not ?—know that, when she lists, she can make us weep. With the true alchemy of a poet, she invests even the meanest thing with a golden and enduring beauty. It is an appropriate and graceful act on the part of the proprietors of the Weekly Dispatch —an act equally appropriate and graceful to their subscribers and contributor—to issue the por trait of a lady who has so frequently adorned their columns by her genius. SCOTTISH HOSPITAL. The anniversary meeting of this excellent institution was held yesterday in the offices of the society, in Crane-court, Fleet-street, when, among other business, ' The Chisholm was elected treasurer to the institution, • in room of the late P. M. Stewart, Esq., M.P. In the evening the anniversary dinner of the society was held in the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, B. Bond Cabbell, Esq., M.P., in the chair ; supported on the right by his Excellency Colonel Yturregui, Peruvian Minister, and W. P. Robertson, Peruvian Consul; on the left by Major Lawrie, lat e of the 79th Highlanders ; Rev. Dr. Cumming, of the Scotch Church, Crown•court; and H. Pownall, Esq. There were also present in the Highland garb, D. M. Davidson, Esq., Grant, Esq., Mowatt, Esq. There were also present, the Rev. Dr. Fletcher, Rev. Mr. Redpath, Captain Thomson, John Murray, Esq., &c. On the cloth being removed, The CHAIRMAN proposed in succession, " Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen," The Prince of Wales," " The Queen Dowager," "Prince Albert," " The Princess Royal and the rest of the Royal Family." The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The health of Col. Yturregui, the Peruvian Minister," and remarked, that it was the great desire of this country to entertain feel ings of charity to all nations, particularly since we had been launched upon the ocean of free trade ; and he hoped that friendly intercourse would long be main tained between this country and the South American states.—(Applause.) Colonel YTURREGUI returned thanks, and said it was the wish of Peru, as it was the wish of all the South American states, to have free trade, and particularly to have free intercourse with England, which was the only nation in Europe that supported them in their struggles with the mother country—(Hear, hear)— and, therefore, it was no won ler that they entertained charitable feel ings towards her. At the same time they would allow him to express the desire he felt for the welfare of this old charitable institution.—(Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the " Army and Navy," which was replied to by Major LAWRIE. The CHAIRMAN again rose and said, that the toast he had now to propose was the toast of the evening—a toast in which they all felt a warm interest—it was, " Pros perity to the Scottish Hospital." This was one of the institutions of Scotland which indicated the national character, and which made him conceive a high opinion of that character. He certainly admired Scotland, not so much for the splendour of its scenery, nor for its ports, nor yet fur its whisky; but he loved it for those institutions in which it had set a noble example to Eng • land and to other countries. Among those institutions he might put prominently forward those that were in tended for the promotion of education. At a time when other countries were in ignorance, Scotland had shown how much it valued and appreciated the importance of education; and it was never forgotten in those institu tions that the most essential part of education was re ligion.—(Applause.) It appeared to him one of the most preposterous doctrines of the present day to suppose it possible that education might be inculcated separate and apart from religion. In answer to this he would only ask, if education was to be inculcated sepa rate from religicn, then what were they to teach?— (Great applause.) What was the end of all education, but to inculcate upon the minds of the young the know ledge, the love, and the fear of God ? For his part, he had no hesitation in saying, that as education, combined with religion, was one of the greatest blessings that man could give to his fellow-creatures, so education. separate and apart from religion, was the greatest curse.—(Ap plause.) He therefore repeated that he loved Scotland, not for the grandeur of its scenery, but because of those institutions in which it had kept education inseparably interwoven with religion ; and it was in that point of view that he admired the grandeur of the Scottish cha racter. Among its charitable institutions, the one whose anniversary they had met to commemorate held a high place. It was instituted upwards of two centuries ago; and, in the course of its existence, it had been conducted according to three different systems :—At first it was established as a kind of hospital, whence its name, where the poor could be received and housed for a limited time. But, as it was soon found that this was inconvenient and inconsistent with the national habits of the recipients of this bounty, who pre ferred obtaining relief at their own home, it was then established in another character, where all who paid a small sum of money might afterwards, if they fell into distress, have a claim upon its funds. It was now established as a purely charitable institution. If he might venture to give his opinion, he would say that the second was by far the wisest system. If they called upon all Seotallin to pay a small sum of money towards this institution, at they might afterwards have a claim upon its funds, he must say that that would add much more to the independence and honour of the Scottish character. The poor would thus not only preserve their moral integrity and their independence of cha racter, hut they would acquire the valuable habit of laying by in a clay of prosperity for the period of ad versity.—(Loud applause.) He trusted these remarks would not be lost sight or, but that the sentiments he had feebly attempted to express would yet be found to prevail through the length and breadth of the land. With regard to the present constitution of the society, though he had thus expressed his preference fur the former system, yet he x ac bound to admit that it had accomplished much good; and when he mentioned that, from the number of cases relieved this year, the expen diture had exceeded the receipts, he was sure no more need he said to induce the members and friends of the society to redouble their exertions for the ensuing year. —(hear, bear.) He then proposed, " Prosperity to the Scottish Hospital," which was drunk with great ap plause. Major ADAIR then read the subscription list, from which it appeared that Sir George Carroll, the Lord Mayor, had subscribed 10 guineas, and the chairman, who had already subscribed 90 guineas, had this year subscribed 10 guineas additional. Several other appropriate toasts were proposed, among which were, " The Duke of Richmond, President of the Society," " The Duchess of Sutherland and the Ladies," " The Duke of Buccleuch and the Edinburgh Branch Society," " The Earl of Dalhousie, the new Vice- President," " The Chairman," " The Chisholm, the new Treasurer," &e. The evening was enlivened with several songs, besides the " Highland fling," by some young gentleman in the Highland garb, danced to the music of Angus Mackay, her Majesty's piper, who attended on the occasion. The gallery of the room was graced by the presence of several ladies, who appeared to take a lively interest in the pro ceedings of the evening. M. Jourdan, chief editor of the Moniteur under the Directory, and latterly principal Cashier of the Treasury, died at Paris, on Thursday, in the seventy fifth year of his age. DEATH OF THE MARCHIONESS (DOWAGER) OF WESTMINSTER.—It is with feelings of deep regret that we announce the demise of the Marchioness (Dowager) of Westminster. The melancholy event took place at half-past two o'clock on Sunday morning, at her Lady ship's mansion in Grosvenor-square, in the presence of the Marquis of Westminster, Lord Robert Grosvenor, and other members of her Lad 3 ship's family. For some time past her Ladyship has been suffering from an in ternal complaint, but it was only at the early part of last week that any alarming symptoms manifested them selves. On Saturday morning her Ladyship rallied, but towards evening became gradually worse, and at the hour above mentioned she ceased to exist, her last mo • ments being perfectly tranquil. The deceased, who was born in Ju1y,1770, was the only surviving daughter and heiress of Thomas First Earl of Wilton. Her Ladyship was united, on the 28th of April, 1794, to Robert Vis count Belgrave, Earl Grosvenor, and by creation, in 1831, Marquis of Westminster. By that no bl ema n, w h o it will be recollected died in the early part of last year, the deceased Marchioness had issue four children, viz., Richard, second Marquis of Westminster; Thomas, Earl of Wilton, who succeeded to that dignity by special re mainder on the death of his maternal grandfather; Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P.; and Lady Amelia Grosvenor, who died in 1814, twelve years subsequent to her birth. The late Marchioness, agreeably to the will of her noble husband, was in the receipt of an annuity of 6,500/. per annum, that sum being exclusive of her Ladyship's mar riage settlements. WATERMEN'S STEAM PACKET COMPANY.—The ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held yesterday at the London Coffee House, Ludgate-hill. R. Charles, jun., Esq., took the chair, and called upen the secretary to read the report for the past year. On the general outlay fur the past year it appeared that a saving of upwards of 700/. had been effected, compared wiih the expenses of the former year. The receipts were, however, less by 1901., in con sequence of the interference (as alleged) of the Cor poration of the City of London with the company, and which esteemed itself greatly injured in being compelled to alter their hours, particularly at Blackfriars-bridge, the consequence of such a change in " time " being very largely to increase the traffic of the Woolwich Company. Daring the past year eleven boats had been plying on_ the river ; one of those (No. 9) was at present in the hands of the broker, to be disposed pot the oe vtteiocd. debit t h i the suchd b e e best advantage, e course. following The items t f est smh t the accounte. n ß e a w l ai, directorsce presentedo f profitopn- and loss on the 30th of September, - k 1 e 8 t5 4 , 5,1/.4 Id s; ~• general earnings, including season tie dividend received on reserved fund, 57/. 6s 27,9551.• total,' 28,0131. 1 Is. 8(1.

Thanks having been voted to the chairman, the meeting separated. WEST INDIA PRODUCE.—A vessel arrived in the St. Katherine's Docks from Nassau, New Providence, has brought, besides an extensive variety of woods for manufacturing and dyeing purposes, 707 cases of pre served turtle, and 70 barrels, containing 17,000 in num ber, of the forbidden fruit, as it is called. This fruit is used for the purpose of preserving, after the 'manner of orange marmalade, which it much resembles both in ap pearance and taste. MANUFACTURERS OF PERTH.--We understand the gala trade is very brisk here at present, and the worsted tartans generally. The manufacturing houses can hardly supply the demand for the English markets ; and Perth tweeds and galas have now got a name in the South: Several houses, formerly exclusively in the cot ton trade, are now largely engaged in the mixed woollen and cotton goods ; anti we have little doubt that in a short time the latter will divide the staple trade of the place with umbrella cloths.—Perthshire Courier. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was firm, and in some instances higher. Sales 10,000 bales, 7,000 being American at sd. to 64d. per lb., and 1,000 Surat at 34c1. to 41. per lb. Speculators took 1,500 bales American, 900 Egyptian, and 600 Surat. The market closed firmly. American and Surat were *d. per lb. higher. Brazil and Egyptian commanded fuller prices. Shares were well supported, and there was an improve ment in North Stafford, Shrewsbury, and Birmingham, and one or two other lines. From the Cape of Good Hope accounts have been received to-day to as late a date as the 7th of October. The force under Colonel Somerset continued to gain advantages over the Kafirs, in detached bodies, ard had recaptured cattle in various directions, so as to be enabled to furnish the Governor's camp with a good number in exchange for biscuit and other necessary stores. Still the troops were prevented by the difficulty of moving a sufficient quantity of supplies from advancing in a body, so as to present an extended front to the enemy. The weather being, however, much more favourable, and the grass again luxuriant, owing to the copious rains, there would soon be a better opportunity of acting vigorously. More of the chiefs were expected to sur render at discretion, as Stock had done, and several had made overtures, but the Governor was wisely resolved, since matters have proceeded to such extremities, to exact unconditional surrender. There have been no accounts of a late date received from other parts to-day, and the non-arrival of the Bri tannia, which, however, may possibly be in ere this article is i❑ print, and in time for accounts to appear in another column of The Sup. The Public Securities are very buoyant again this morning, and there is a good business doing. Consols are quoted at 95i- 4 for present transfer, and 95k for time, being fully the advance of yesterday. There is unquestionably a scarcity of stock, and if the Chancery broker continues his purchases, the pro• bability is that there will be a further improvement before the closing of the transfer books. The New Three-and•a•Quarter per Cents. have been 954 to 96, and the Three per Cents. 934 to 94. Bank Stock is worth 206 to 207. East India Stock is steady, at 259. Exchequer-bills are again flat, and not higher than to 9s. premium. The Foreign Investments have been less dealt in, but are at full rates. In fact, as regards Spanish at least, it is considered essential perhaps that there should be some effort to buoy up the market, in order to inspire confi dence in the new committeee of bondholders, which hitherto has made a show of doing much, though without advancing one jot, as far as many conceive, the material interests of the creditors. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 26k and the Three per Cents. 374, being to per cent. higher. Grenada Bonds have been at 20. Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. are 59k. Shares are animated. The old lines are better. ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. FRICES. Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Anns 94 93% 93% 3 per Cent. Consols Annuities 9 5 14 V s 95 1 / 8 New 3 1 4 per Cent.

Poland was—Poland is no more. In the destruc tion of that kingdom the descendants of an heroic race have been dispersed over the world as aliens and out cacts. Warsaw has been desolated by a political visitation as complete, if not as deplorable, as the reli gious visitation which desolated Jerusalem. By insidious encroachments, by piecemeal annexation, by secret spoliation, and by open fraud, one of the mos chivalrous, venerable, and illustrious governments of Europe has been annihilated. At the commencement of its troubles its spoilers were its friends, at the ter mination of those troubles its destroyers were its protectors! By the annexation of Cracow to Austria the last vestige of Poland has disappeared—but may not that vestige be revived ? Is the dismembered kingdom permanently dissipated ? May not a tardy, but terrible vengeance be wreaked upon the sharers of that spoil ? May not the cause of the dispersed and abused people be vindicated by the outraged spirit of civilisation ? May not the nations who have ac quired for themselves the blessings of liberal ,nstitutions, and political liberty may not the free nations of the west abase those despots of the east who have obtained an infamous celebrity by their predatory incur sions upon their neighbours ? Filled with sym patkv for a brave and unfortunate race, the popula tion of England and France are aroused to indigna tion against the Northern Powers ; the population of those two countries are regarding with jealous eyes the proceedings of their Ministers in regard to the recent atrocity perpetrated in Galicia. Anything like connivance at the villanies of Austria, Russia, and Prussia would not be permitted by the multitude, if it were attempted. But such will not be attempted ; it cannot be attempted. This generation would never sanction any such infamous movement which could thus render our Governments accomplices after the fact. The days of Ministerial hoodwinking and political chicanery are past, as far at least as the population of England is concerned. Sunday last, being the anniversary of the Polish revolution of 1830, was commemorated by the refu gees in London with an enthusiasm most in ac cordance with their present interesting position. Driven from their native land by adverse circum stances, and sojourning in a remote island, the in telligence of the final subversion of the Republican Government of Cracow has fallen upon them like a thunderclap; but while that mournful intelligence has oppressed their hearts with an indefinable sorrow, Manchester and Leeds 82 ...... --- Ditto 1 4 Shares 3B • ..... ........
