THE HAGUE, Nov. iO.---(511 the debate upon the ad dress, several members of the Second Chamber made objections on the subject of pauperism. M. Von Pan huys, member of the Committee for drawing up the ad dress, brought forward some highly interesti n g consider ations. The draft of the address, he observed, made no mention of the increase of pauperism in our country, nor expressed any desire that a new system of taxation might be introduced ; in the first place, because it i s not proper that these delicate questions should fie brought for ward in the address, and secondly, because the Nether lands is not the only country which, at this moment, has to lament the increase of pauperism. We hear of numerous complaints in all the neighbouring countries. If, with us, some of the inhabitants seek for means of subsistence in other climates, is it not the same in other nations ? Pauperism increases in proportion to the population. May not this distress be caused by the increased wants in all classes of society, in propor tion to the progress of civilisation ? We have heard one of the speakers in the Chambers give such a picture of the state of our country that, according to him, both here and in our colonies, there is nothing encouraging in the prospects. Let us beware, however, of conceiving so deplorable an idea of the state of the country. Do we not observe, on the contrary, many signs of prosperity ? Are there any complaints respecting agriculture ? Are not manufactures advancing in many places ? Do not the great works of embanking and draining lakes and marshes, insure important advantages for the future ? If we examine all these questions with impartiality they will doubtless be answered in the affirmative, and in our opinion the state of the country is far from being so un favourable as some are pleased to represent it. The question of introducing a new fiscal system, and reducing the imports on the principal articles of subsist ance has been discussed. Undoubtedly important ques tions, worthy of all the attention of a Legislative Cham ber, will be brought forward on this subject when we coins to the discussions of the budget, but it would be imprudent to mention them iu the address. The excise, which some would desire to suppress, or at least reduce, produces annually a revenue cf 19 mil lion?. What tax equally productive, can be substituted for it ? Shall it be an income or a property-tax ? The nation, said M. Von Panmys, is not disposed to bear these new burdens. THE HAGUE. Nov. 10.—We are informed of the death of one of the superior officers of the Netherlands army who acquired a great reputation by his conduct in the East Indies, and in his own country in the most try ing circumstances. Lieutenant-General Van Geen died at his country seat at Ityswick. After the battle of Waterloo, he was appointed to the important Govern ment of Namur, where he acquired general confidence. His thorough knowledge of the organisation of an army appeared in the composing of the battalion of infantry, with which he was charged in 1815 at Louvein, and afterwards in India, where he arrived in 1820. In 1824 and 1825, he was placed at the head of the expe dition against Celebes, the success of which greatly con tributed to confirm our power in the East Indies. In the war of Java, Lieutenant-General Van Geen equally distinguished himself, and when he returned to the Netherlands, he was called, in 1830, to new dangers, under the most critical circumstances.—Dutch Papers, November 11. THE WEATHER, CROPS, &c. (From the Inverness Courier.) The turnip crop in this quarter, as in most other dis tricts, has recovered from the mildew which appeared so formidable in 3ctober. It is doubtful, however, whether the crop will be so good as that of last year. Most of the farmers say that the bulbs are considerably smaller ; but they are still growing, end the soft weather has been favourable. The demand for sheep continues, and prices are almost unprecedented. Lambs are particu larly in request. As a farmer said to us the other day, "Any lamb that has four legs, acid can go to a market, is worth 103." The abundance of pasture is, no doubt, one main cause of this demand. Bill farmers who have known the north for forty years, assure us that the pas tures at this advanced time of the year are beyond what they ever witnessed at any former period. A correspondent in Strathspey states that the weather in that district is favourable for turning down stubble land and general farming purposes. He remarks that about the half of the potato crup in Strathspey is free from disease ; and the ' (Train on the barn floor tells re markably well. The flocks are in excellent condition and smearing has commenced. The prices obtained in Strathspey for sheep this season are higher than at any previous period since the war. The turnip fields are reviving after the blight of August and September. There has been a considerable export of grain lately from most of the northern ports, as Beauly, Invergordon, &c. On the east coast, we observe, there were last week vessels taking in grain for the southern markets ; at Banff, 3,000 quarters were to he exported. WORTHY OF IMITATION.—The Sanatory Commit tee of the City Commissioners .of Worcester have issued a list of questions, to which answers are invited ; and which might be beneficially propounded in other places. They are as follow :-1. Do you experience any annoy ance arising from bad drainage, open cesspool, pigstye, slaughter- house,or other nuisance,in your neigh bourhood ? —2. Are there any houses in your neighbourhood which have no privies attached to them, or if any houses have the joint use of the same?-3. Is the spring water used by you of good quality and abundant in quantity, or is it at any time contaminated with leakage from cesspools, &c.-4. How often are the streets or courts in your neighbourhood swept, cleansed, and the refuse moved by the scavengers?-5. Are there any other particulars within your knowledge which in your opinion the Com mittee should be made acquainted with? THE ART-UNION OF PRAGUE, AUSTRIA.—The interest which the public take in such establishments increases even in these hitherto reputed half-civilised countries. At the last exhibition, the number of visitors increased to 16,480, and twenty shareholders bought forty pictures for the sum of 10,434 florins (1,0001.). The Union purchased forty-six pictures for 8,353 florins. The number of shareholders increases not only in Prague and Bohemia, but also in Silicia and Galicia, where hitherto no such association existed. In the year 1845 the number of members was 2,473, who possessed 3,149 shares—this year the proportion has increased to 2,966 members and 3,622 shares. The Prague Union has also put aside a separate fund for executing public monu ments, which amounts now to 18,000 florins. They in tend to begin with the pleasure pavilion of the Emperor Ferdinand 1., in the palace gardens at Prague—a beau tiful structure in the best Renaissance style, which has been already perfectly restored, and which the Union intends to have ornamented with frescos from Bohemian history. The estimated costs will be 30,000 florins.— Me Builder. M. ALExANDBE DUMAS AGAIN. We find the following in the Clamor Publico of Madrid:—" Our cor respondent at Grenada writes thus, on October 31st:— The celebrated writer of novels, Dumas, with his son, is arrived in this city, - having come to visit its historical monuments. We did not wish to speak of this distin guished man of letters in other than terms of admiration and respect; but we have unfortunately to relate a scandalous act, in which he and his son have played a prominent part. They went together to the residence of a French artist, who takes portraits in Daguerreo type. They were looking at a dance of gipsies on the terrace in front, and were very much amused, when sud denly a stone, thrown by as unseen hand, struck the young_ Dumas on th e f ore h ea d an d s li g htly b ru i se d it. Alarmed and irritated by this occurrence, all the French who were in the house rushed into the street to endeavour to learn whence the stone came. It appears that one of the young gipsies pointed out the house of the architect, Jose Contreras, directly opposite. Without giving themselves time to verify the fact, without going to the competent authority, the Frenchmen rushed into the house, made their way into the apartments of the architect, and, finding- one of his sons quietly occupied in drawing, they beat him severely, and even threatened to kill him with the weapons which they carried. In the midst of the noise and confusion, the mother and sister of the young man interposed to save him from further injury. These ladies the Frenchmen also struck and threw to the ground, and were about to further ill-treat them, when a police-officer came in with a troop, and put an end to this scandalous scene, or rather committed still greater out rage against propriety, if that were possible. The worthy officer, without any formal inquiry, suffered the French men to go unpunished, because, as he stated, he had no jurisdiction over them, and carried his arbitrary conduct so far as to impose a tine of 1,000 rials on the house. This was because Dumas said he came into Spain as an attache of the French embassy. The result is, that the poor architect Contreras has laid a complaint before the Captain-General, who is the only judge in the case of foreigners, in order that he may receive legal protec tion." MORE COACHES OFF THE ROAD.—Thursday, in consequence of her Majesty's mail being now forwarded by the Brighton South Coast Railway, the whole stock that worked the day mail coach between Hastings, Sta plehurat, and St. Leonards, was sold at Robinson's repo ilitorY7 Little Britain. THE DUCHY OF LANCASTER COMMISSION. (From the Post.) We have already glanced at the curious aspect in which political party connexion is placed by the new commission for managing the affairs of the Duchy of Lancaster. We have a word or two to say about the extreme absurdity of this whole affair, unless something worse than mere absurdity be intended, which we sus pect to he the case. It is said by persons who have more knowledge of the projects entertained in certain high places than we can pretend to, that some monstrous job is in view. It is believed that something is about to be done with the property of the Duchy which was thought rather too much for sole responsibility, and therefore it it was deemed expedient to lay it upon the aggregate shoulders of a Royal Commission. Certainly, if there is nothing to be done beyond managing the ordinary re venues of the Duchy with care and economy, the organi sation of so portentous a commission for so small an affair is one of the most ridiculous things that ever was done. Here we have a Noble Baron very learned in the law; one who has filled the first legal offices, and advised in the weightiest and most important affairs for the last thirty years, occupying the office of Chancellor of the Duchy. But all his learning and all his experience are not suffi cient. He must be helped by three Earls and an ex- Secretary of State for the Home Department. And what is this exceedingly grand Commission to do? What are the mighty details of revenue which it will have to manage? Is there any prospect that by the clubbing of their wits they may enable her Majesty to have the pleasure of paying off the national debt with the proceeds of the commission-governed Duchy of Lan caster? Here comes tha absurdity. Every man of the Commission, except Lord Lincoln, whose fortunes are in expectancy, has a revenue of his own equal to, or ex ceeding that, of the Duchy of Lancaster. And what would Lord Hardwicke, or Lord Spencer, or Sir James Graham say to any one who should propose to any of them a commission of three Earls and an ex-Secretary of State to manage their estates for them? Would they not regard such a proposition as more fit for Bedlam than any other place; yet there they are, compiling and compounding such wisdom as they can muster, to manage on the Queen's behalf certain land revenues amounting to between twenty and twenty-five thousand a year ! We really are surprised that Lord Campbell should require this kind of assistance. We should have thought that " plain John Campbell " would have been quite sufficient for a matter of such moment as the government of the Duchy of Lancaster, and now that he is a Lord and an ex- Chancellor of Ireland, we do not see thatshe should be considered disqualified for transacting such business as would render any chief clerk in a solicitor's office un worthy of his salary, if he could not properly manage. As soon as Lord Campbell has the opportunity. it will be necessary for him to explain to the public how this Commission of three Earls and an ex-Secretary of State has become necessary to manage a property not one-third so great as that possessed by many Members of the House in which his Lordship sits. It will be necessary to explain what these men are wanted for, if not for a job ; and if a job, what job ? (From the Chronicle.) The Morning Post of yesterday contained the follow ing article:— " On the sth of October we made the following state- ment;— " We understand that a department of the Govern ment, hitherto carried on under a chief, is, for the future, to be managed by the same chief, assisted by a board of unpaid commissioners. The names of the latter we are not yet at liberty to disclose; but, if we mistake not, they will throw a very curious light on the present state of parties in this country.' " There is now no longer any necessity for preserving the secresy that was at the time imposed on us. The department alluded to is that of the Duchy orLancaster, and the intended Board of Commissioners—however surprising the fact may appear to our readers—will be composed of the Earl SPENCER, the Earl of Lincoln, Sir James Graham, and the Earl of Harwiche ! " We were strictly correct in saying that these com missioners will receive no pecuniary emolument; but we do hear that certain arrangements have been made in reference to the distribution of patronage, by virtue of which the new hoard will not be left altogether without influence. Indeed, it is hinted that this provision is so ample as to have already excited no inconsiderable in dignation in a Noble Lord, who imagines that he has been unfairly deprived of the advantages he formerly possessed. " Of this, however, we know nothing ; it is for the present quite enough for us to know that two members of Sir Robert Peel's late Cabinet, and a noble man who held an appointment in the royal household under the same Administration, have accepted office at the hands of Lord John Russell. Were we altogether wrong when, five weeks ago, we ventured to say that the circumstance would throw a very curious light on the present state of parties in this country ?' " We have good reason for believing that the foregoing statement contains a very erroneous impression of the real facts of the case. It has for some time been con sidered highly expedient that a permament board should be established for the management of the property of the Crown in the Duchy of Lancaster; and, if we mistake not, a somewhat similar arrangement already exists for the management of the estates of the Duchy of Cornwall.* The commissioners appointed are Earl Spencer, the Earl of Hardwieke, Lord Portman, the Earl ofLincoln, and Sir Jarees Graham ; but the political duties and pa tronage of the duchy remains as before with the Chan csllor. The inferences, therefore, which our Contempo rary has attempted to draw are scarcely warranted by the facts. But if the case were otherwise, and if these appointments had more of a political cha racter than can be fairly attributed to them, we may at least express a doubt whether the public at large would take that very particular interest in the matter, one way or the other, which the Morning Post appears to expect. We imagine, from our Contemporary's tone, that he much exaggerates, in his own mind, the impression which a political rumour of this sort is just now calcu lated to produce. Very " surprising" it would be, no doubt, to your regular bred, professed politicians, to hear of the ex-members of a 'Conservative" Cabinet taking office under a " Whig" Premier. Quite exciting. So wilful a forgetfulness, or so daring a defiance, of respect able and old-established political traditions, would, we are sure, produce an immense sensation in all " political circles." To the clubs, or so much of them as may be left at this season of the year, it would be a profoundly interesting and perfectly invaluable subject for intelli gent curiosity and collequy. We more than doubt, however, whether the excitement would go deeper than the surface of the political world. The good-natured, insouciant public would take it quite easily. We should not anticipate anything that could be called a " sensa tion," either of pleased or of displeased astonisment, at a ru - moured official arrangement which so aptly represents the present anarchical fusion, or confusion, of political par ties. Our impression is, that public feeling on the matter—what there may be of it—would simply amount to a very moderate and quiet satisraction at witnessing so intelligible a recognition of an undeniable political fact. As the public is very much of opinion that the nominal party distinctions of " Conservatism " and " Whiggism " have ceased to symbolise real differences of opinion and policy, the public would, on the whole, be well enough pleased with an arrangement which tended to reconcile forms with realities. The public is so thoroughly possessed with the notion of the practical unimportance of those distinctions—cares so little about the mere personnel of the cast of official parts—is so free from all strong resentments or predilections, preju dices, or favouritisms, of a party kind—and so intently desirous of seeing itself served by those who possess most ability and presumable inclination to serve it well —that the reported re-introduction into office of some of the ablest members of the late Government will seem the most natural thing in the world. It will be taken as a sort of " homage to truth and reason." We are not at all sure, even, that our good, easy, philoso phical, omnibus-going public would be horrified if the rumoured political amnesty and hand-skaking included the very highest personage in the realm of Conservatism. It would lead us too far to inquire whe ther our worty aad respected omnibus-going public does not carry its good-natured tolerance to an extreme that is more amiable than judicious. The present state of our domestic politics has certainly, taken from the ethical point of view, a somewhat mixed character. There is evil as well as good in this universal oblitera tion of old land-marks--this prevalent disposition to accept or condemn public men, without much reference to the past, by the sole and exclusive test of their pre sumed competency for present and future public service. Without, however, going into those delicate and some what entangled questions which the existing aspects of our political world offer to the consideration of the moralist, we cannot but contemplate, with much hopeful complacency, the more immediate practical tendencies of this state of things. It is unquestionably a great ad vantage to the country that her Majesty's Ministers are able to approach the grave and difficult problems that will present themselves for solution during the next ses sion of Parliament, unembarrassed by any opposition of a party character, We do not know that we can un qualifiedly congratulate Ministers themselves on the en. joyment of this novel and extraordinary privilege, which though affording certain rare facilities for beneficent action, is not altogether without its attendant inconveni ences. Exemption from the peculiar embarrassments of party antagonism implies a corresponding and equivalent destitution of the peculiar aids arrising from party con nexion and support. The position of a Government which has as little to hope as to fear from the old tra ditional forces of party organization—which, while it is in no danger of falling by its party weakness, is equally unable to stand on its party strength—which has posi tively nothing to rest upon but the excellence of its mea sures, and their felt adaptation to the demands of opinion and events—is a position, the difficuties of which obvi ously bear a large proportion to its facilities. At the same time, we cannot doubt but that the statesmen who have deliberately accepted the new conditions which circumstances have annexed to official power in this country,: are . ; well prepared to abide the test by which henceforth all public men must stand or fall. We are persuaded that her Majesty's Ministers, however deeply sensible of the magnitude of those difficulties with winch they have to grapple, must feel themselves cheered and invigorated by the conviction, that the important ques tions of social reform now under discussion may be dealt with freely and boldly, according to their own real and independent merits, and that no well-devised measure of public usefulness has anything to fear from a factious and obstructive opposition. THE FORESTS.—The Duke of Leeds and party have shot seventy-five head of deer in Mar Forest. Lord Henry Bentinck has killed thirty-eight at Inchrory. The latter, with kindlier feelings than his ducal neigh bour, allows large ninehers of sheep to be reared in the forest of Glenavon, of which he is lessee—and hence the paucity of the deer killed by himself and party in com parison with the large number slaughtered by his Grace of Leeds,—lnverness Courier. DOVER HARBOUR. DOVER, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.—His Grace the Duke of Wellington, as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, presided here to-day, at the Harbour Sessions, held an nually before the Commissioners in this place. The proceedings, which are generally of a mere routine character, possessed unusual interest on this occasion, from the fact that the extensive improvements which have been in progress in the harbour (luting the past three years have just been brought to a close. The opportu nity of the noble and gallant Lord Warden's visit was chosen by the Commissioners to open, for the first time, a very beautifully constructed swing -bridge, which has been thrown across a portion of the newly-constructed dock, for the purpose of affording a communication be tween the Esplanade, or Marine Parade, and the body of the town. This intention, on the part of the Commis sioners, having become very generally known, the har bour and its vicinity presented an unusual scene of activity this morning, and long before the arrival of the Duke of Wellington, the Parade, in front of the Harbour house, formed a nucleus for the assemblage of a great many of the leading inhabitants of Dover. At half-past eleven o'clock the noble and illustrious Duke's carriage was observed descending the Castle-hill from the Wahner-road. His Grace took the left-hand road after passing the castle, and, proceeding along the back of Waterloo-crescent, arrived on the south side of the new bridge at 25 minutes past twelve o'clock. Sir Brook W. Bridges, Bart., Mr. W. Deedes, M.P., Mr. J. P. Plumptre, M.P., Mr. R. 11. Jenkinson, Mr. W. 0. Hammond, the Mayor of Dover (Mr. W. Cock), and other of the Commissioners, attended by Mr. James Walker, civil engineer, and Mr. P. Hardwick, architect to the board, were here in attendance to receive the Noble and Gallant Duke, who, on reaching the bridge, ordered his carriage to stop, and entered into conversa tion with the Commissioners for some moments. Mr. Walker invited the Duke to alight and walk over the bridge, but his Grace preferred crossing in his carriage. The word having been given, the coachman gave his horses the rein, and as their feet touched the iron roadway a salute from the battery on the heights greeted the Lord Warden's progress over the newly made channel. At the same moment the spectators, who at this time had congregated in large.numbers near the spot, welcomed his Grace with loud cheers, which continued at intervals throughout his progress to the Harbour-house, where he was received by a guard of honour of the 43d Light Infantry, under the command of Captain Coote. • On alighting his Grace was joined by the following members of the Court of Assistants:—Sir Brook W. Bridges, Bart., Mr. W. Deedes, M.P., Mr. J. P.Plump tre, Mr. R. H. Jenkinson, Lieutenant-Governor of Dover Castle, the Mayor of Dover, Mr. W. 0. Ham mond, and Mr. Thomas Papillon. Mr. James Walker, who holds the office of engineer to the commission, Mr. Hardwick, the architect to the board, and Mr. G. W. Ledger, the secretary, were in attendance. After the transaction of the formal business before the Commission, the following new members of the Court of Assistants were appointed :—Captain D'Aeth, R.N. (of Knowlton), in the room of the Earl of Guildford, re signed ; and Sir Edward Cholmeley Dering, in the room of Mr. F. K. E. Morris, of Betsanger. In the course of the morning a deputation, consisting of several of the leading municipal authorities, waited on the Court of Assistants, for the purpose of presenting a memorial on the subject of a further improvement of the harbour. The memorial, having been handed into the Court, was read by Mr. Hardwick, the deputation mean while remaining in an ante-room. The following is a copy of the document : " To the ion, the Warden and Assistants of Dover harbour, • " The memorial of the Mayor, Aldermen, and Bur gesses of the borough of Dover, in council assembled,— " Showeth,—That your memorialists view with con siderable anxiety arid alarm the rapid improvements made and making at the neighbouring ports of Ramsgate and Folkestone for affording facilities for the embarka tion and disembarkation of passengers at all times of tide. " That the staple trade of this important town has from time immemorial: been the conveyance of the mails and passengers to and from the Continent, and has until lately been productive of great benefit to its in habitants. " That its proximity to the Continent gives it advan tages superior to any port in the channel, but which appear to your memorialists to be rapidly passing away from it in consequence of the improvements of the ports before alluded to. " That it appears to your memorialists the only means left for the restoration of the passage to and from Dover, are the adoption of measures for rendering its harbour at all times accessible to steam-vessels, and as the only power to effect this appears to your memorialists to be vested in your lion. B ,ard, they most earnestly implore your Honourable Board to immediately adopt such im provements, alterations, cr additions to the present works, either by the extension of the south pier, or otherwise, as shall seem most suitable to the wants of the passengers' traffic, and the uninterrupted expedition of the pnblic mails ; and your memorialists venture to suggest to your Honourable Board, that such improve ments would not only conduce to the prosperity of the port in times-of peace, and to the security and increase of the revenues of the harbour, but be of most essential service in the event of war. " Given under our common seal, this Bth day of No vember, 1846. "LEDGER, Town clerk." The Lord Warden and Assistants having duly con sidered the memorial, invited the deputation to an audience, when the following reply was read by the secretary : , " The hoard having read the memorial of the corpo ration of Dover, on the importance of a low-water com munication from this port for the c( nveyance of passengers and her Majesty's mails by means of the ex tension of the harbour works, or the erection of a low water pier in the bay, and having heard the statements of a deputation from the corporation thereon, the board inform the deputation that the means of this commission do not enable them to continue the works requisite for the above purpose ; but the board fully agree that the statement in the memorial as to the importance of a low water pier for the interests of Dover, and the value of the property of the Commissioners in Dover, as well as for the national objects embraced in the memorial, and particularly having reference to the relative positions of Calais and Dover, and are therefore disposed to give every facility in their power towards the promotion and completion of the object." presenting th emse l ves Mr. BIRMINGHAM (of the Ship Hot e l), an d o th er the om m is si o n , d e putation, u rge do the prayer o f th e memo rials with great ability and earnestness, but it is believed mbemorbeert of e C that the reply of the Court to the same was quite as favourable as was anticipated. The deputation having retired, the Lord Warden, ac companied by the Court of Assistants, Mr. Walker, Mr. Hardwick, and various other officials, left the Harbour house, for the purpose of inspecting the recently com pleted works, a brief sketch of which may be interesting in this place. The improvements were commenced in May, 1844. They consist chiefly of an extension of the outer harbour to the eastward, the additional surface of water thus obtained covering upwards of four acres. To gain this space, a vast quantity of houses standing on the Ord nance property, and nearly the whole of Union-street (except Latham's Bank) have been pulled down. The new dock walls rendered necessary by this extension are built in a remarkably substantial manner and faced with granite. On the eastern side of the new dock there is a " slip," for the purpose of allowing carts to ap proach vessels lying in that portion of the harbour. A beaching place is also provided in the new dock. The next principal feature in the improvements is` a new entrance to the "pent" or inner harbour. This entrance opens from the new excavations, and is nearly double the width of the old northern gates, measuring nearly 66 feet wide, and having three feet more water, thus admitting ves sels of a far larger burden than heretofore. It is pro vided with lock-gates, formed of massive cast-iron ribs, with planks on each side to reader them buoyant. Across this entrance, the swing-bridge, above alluded to l is thrown. This work is a very beautiful specimen of mechanical ingenuity, having a span of 60 feet, and a ! roadway 16 feet wide. It has been cast under the di rection of Messrs. Hunter and English, of Bow-creek, Ifrom the design of Mr. Walker. The other works, in brief, consist of a stone apron (technically so called), which has been thrown up between Cheeseman's Head and the south pier, for the purpose of protecting that portion of the harbour ; the excavation of the "pent" or inner harbour, to make it available for larger vessels ; the removal of the pilot-house further west, and the erection of a sea wall from the terminus of the railway to the harbour ; the latter work having been undertaken by the directors of the South-Eastern Railway Com pany, who are about to erect a new hotel immediately adjoining the Pier-head. The whole of the works have been executed under the direction of Mr. Walker, Mr. James Cooper being the resident engineer, and Mr. Bray, of Leeds, the contractor for executing the work. The Duke of Wellington, on commencing his inspec tion, first proceeded along the mid-quay overlooking the new basin. On reaching the swing-bridge, his Grace minutely examined its construction, and expressed him self highly pleased with its general appearance and utility. While the Noble and Gallant Duke stood on one portion of the bridge, the other half was swung round by, as it appeared to an ordinary observer, an invisible agency. His Grace inquired what was the power required to set the ponderous mass in motion; and on being informed by Mr. Walker that one man only was employed, and that he performed the duty with great ease, he expressed his unqualified admiration of the ingenuity the work displayed. Before the Lord Warden left this portion of the works, it was suggested by the Mayor , of Dever that the inhabitants would esteem it an honour if the Noble and Gallant Duke would allow the bridge to bo named after himself— " The Wellington Bridge." The suggestion having been communicated to his Grace by Mr. Hardwick, be very good-humouredly replied, " Oh, by all means; I can have no objection, if you will have it so. Let it be called the Wellington Bridge." The party subsequently walked over the whole of the new works, visiting, lastly, the south-western portion of the harbour, where the railway company's sea wall is in progress of erection. His Grace inquired by whom this portion of the works was being carried on; and Mr. Walker having informed him that the directors of the South-Eastern Railway were carrying it out, and that they intended to erect an hotel near the spot, he expressed his approbation of the liberality and enterprise of the company. While going over the works Mr. Walker took occasion to introduce to the Lord Warden Mr. Cooper, the resi dent engineer, and Mr. Bray, the contractor, both of whom were complimented by his Grace. While returning to the Herbour-house the Noble Duke 1.1 t and luenelletelv recognised Si- John I fauul ton, formerly of the packet service, and who still in variably attends the members of the Roy al Family on their passages to the continent. The Noble Duke walked And =veiled with Sir Aim or Joie maluteo. • The visit of inspection lasted until half-past three o'clock, and after a short interview with the Court of Assistants at the Harbour-house, the Noble and Gallant Duke left for the railway terminus under a salute from the heights. Mr. Hardwick accompanied the Noble Duke to the station. His Grace left Dover by the ex press train at four o'clock, travelling in his own carriage. Colonel Mercer, R.A., Colonel Forlong, K. 11., 43d Regiment, and Lieut.-Colonel Tylden, R.E., were among the officers present when the Duke arrived at the Har bour-house this morning. His Grace dismissed the guard immediately upon his arrival. This evening the Court of Assistants will dine together at the Ship Hotel. THE NAVY. The London Gazette of last night contains the pro motion of Commander Burridge to the rank of Captain, with the explanation that the Gallant Officer's name should have been included between that of Ralph Bar low and F. H. H. Glasse, promoted to the rank of Captain. The Gazes also announces that the Board of Admi ralty, who had officially signified their intention of pro moting Commander F. W. Austen to the rank of Cap tain, tor his gallant services in command of the Alecto steam sloop at the passage of the large convoy by the batteries of San Lorenzo, in the Parana, as soon as he had served the period required at sea, signed a commis sion conferring on him the mak of Captain, on the 11th of November, Captain Austen having, up to that date, been in command of the Alecto, for one year. We con gratulate the Gallant Officer on the prompt reward for those services, which, on a former occasion, we took the opportunity of pointing out. It is by such ready ac knowledgment that officers like Captain Austen will be encouraged to repeat these lessons to an enemy which Captain Austen's gallant father, Vice-Admiral Sir F. Austen, the Commander-in-Chi ef in the West Indies, and other distinguished ornaments of the profession, were in the habit of frequently inculcating during their early career. We are also gratified to perceive by the welcome Gazette that another officer, whose claims to the favour of the Admiralty on more than one occasion we have ventured to bring before their Lordships, has received his well-earned promotion. Commander Edward Halkett Beauchamp Proctor, who had been 10 years a lieutenant and mate, as we have before stated, commanded the Dwarf steam-tender, when she conveyed the Queen and Prince Albert to their visit to the Great Britain steam. ship, and naturally expected his promotion on that occa sion. At the late affair at San Lorenzo, Commander Proctor ran great risk with the little, slow, and ineffi cient steamer Harpy, that ho commanded, and only escaped with a severe wound in his side. Lieutenant Lauchlan B. Mackinnon is likewise in the Gazette promotion, for gallant services in the Parana. He was second lieutenant of the Gorgon steam-sloop, passed in 1836, and was promoted in 1842. THE FLAG PROMOTION. In the arrangement of the flag promotion, as it appeared in the Gazette of Tuesday, there was no error committed in the number of vice admirals. The death of Rear-Admiral Walpole Browne had not been officially reported \ 6o the Admiralty, and thus they were obliged to count him as one of the num ber. Whenever the death of an officer takes place, the friends of the deceased should immediately communi cate the fact to the Admiralty. THE COAST OF AFRICA.—We announced a few days since the appointment of a captain to supersede the commander at present holding the appointment of go vernor at Ascension, Commander Morrell having been most considerately appointed to the Hydra, steam-sloop, there, and the vessel being ordered home to be paid off, he will have an opportunity afforded him of removing his family to this country. The state of affairs at As cension has been too long left without a practical revi. sion, although we have reason to believe the Admiralty have been most desirous to put an end to that, in former times occasionally, but now continually, " topping the officer" there by some captain or commander who might happen to drop his anchor at Ascension. It has at length become so intolerable that the Admiralty, with the view of bringing about a proper adjustment of the difficulties and grievances on the island and on the coast, have determined to send out a post captain to be governor there. This appointment will have another very benefi cial effect. The absence of a competent tribunal to take cognisance of and to adjudicate on gross breaches of dis cipline and infringement of the Articles of War, has pro duced a state of anarchs in some of our sloops, most detrimental to the service. By the appointment of Captain Hutton a court-martial can be easily formed, and cases of the kind above referred to can be disposed of without sending ships to England for that purpose. MEN OF WAR COMPLEMENTS.—We copy the follow ing from an evening paper:—" Admiralty Change. — It is rumoured that Captain Berkeley will retire from the Admiralty, from the determination of the board to reduce the complement of the different ships' crews, he having always contended for a full complement." We have heard from good authority, that so far from Cap tain Berkeley offering any objection to the proposed re duction of complements, the new scale is in accordance with the Gallant Captain's own suggestions. It is na tural enough, however, to suppose, from past experience, that Captain Berkeley, who has shown such decided opposition to what were termed peace complements, will never be a party to impairing the efficiency of our sea going ships; and the reductions, as represented, would warrant a belief that they were such as he could not recommend, or for a moment acquiesce in. From what we hear of the matter, judicious classification, not re duction, is the object of the Admiralty. We may safely, then, trust to Captain Berkeley, whose sacrifices on this point entitle him to confidence. There can be no mis take as to his views about manning our ships; if there were, hi , last speech in the House of Commons, on the subject which is now before us, would be quite conclusive.—Morning paper. VISIT of the POPE to the ABBESS OF THE BASILIAN NUNS OF MINSK. The Univers publishes the following account of a visit paid by the Pope to the Superioress of the Basilian nuns of Minsk, Macrina Mieczyslaska:— On the 20th inst., the day of the Feast of the Polish Saint John Cantz, his Holiness repaired in procession to the Convent of the Trinity on the Mount, where, since her arrival in the Eternal City, the Abbess of Minsk has resided. After the adoration of the Holy Sacrament the Pope reinoTed to one of the halls, in which the nuns of the Sacred Heart and the pupils committed to their care were permitted to kiss his ring. The Pope afterwards ascended to the first floor, where the Mother Abbess awaited him at the entrance of the corridor leading to her cell, accompanied by the Rev. Father Ryllo and the Abbe Jolowicky. Thely Father, on perceiving . her, paused, and pointing to her with his right hand, said to the Superioress, Madame de Coriolis, "Is that the venerable martyr you have had the happiness to harbour in your convent ?' He had scarcely spoken these words when the Mother Abbess cast herself at his feet, and remained in that position until the Pope raised her, saying,"Poor infirm woman, she has suffered so cruelly!" Then steadily regarding her, he added, " What strength of mind in so feeble a body!" The Pope afterwards gave audience to the Mother Abbess in her reception cell. The Abbess cast herself again at the feet of the Holy Father, kissing them, and bathing them with her tears, and Pius IX., with that mild. ness and firmness which constitute the principal features of his character, addressed her in these words:—" We thank God for having given to us, in an ago when the wonders of his grace are more necessary than ever, so signal a proof of it in the sufferings you have so nobly endured, with your sisters, for the faith of Jesus Christ. In permitting you all to remain faithful to his law, he has chosen humility and weakness to con foulid the power and pride of the enemies of his church. Let us glorify the Lord for that, and pray that he may deign to accord us the same grace for the accomplish ment of our mission." " Blessed be Jesus Christ," re plied the Abbess, "for allowing me to hear from the mouth of his vicar words of life and hope. It is to our great patron, St. John Cants, that I am indebted for such a grace." "We thought of him," responded the Holy Father, "and we resolved to pay this visit under the auspices of a protector of Poland. God has given us in your great saint the model of sacerdotal virtue. It is our anxious desire that in Poland and throughout the world the clergy should imitate , his example." The Mother Abbess then presented to the Pope Abb4 Jolo wicky, who had witnessed her sufferings. The Holy Father spoke to him most graciously and questioned him respecting the wounds of the Mother Abbess. The latter then knelt, and the Holy Father, after joining her in a prayer to the Virgin, gave her his benediction, and retired, promising to pay the convent another visit. SERVANTS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—Ameet ing in support of this institution was held on We dn es day T his evening, at the Assembly-rooms, Kentish Town. institution was established in 18 44 for the purpose of building and endowing 40 almshouses , and provid i ng a relief fund for domestic servants, who , after a life of industry and unsullied character, might become candi dates for general sympathy. Since the promulgation of the plan, which has been generally approved by both masters and servants, various meetings in support of the object have been held, but, up to June last, the subscrip tions received had only reached 2601., out of which about 1501. had been disbursed in the necessary expenses. It was then resolved that the institution should be dissolved, and the present meeting was 'called for the purpose of re establishing it on a somewhat different footing. Unfor tunately the meeting was so thin that no effective step could be taken; but the promoters of the object are not without hope that it may still be carried out. THE EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT.-011 Thursday evening a meeting of members of different trades in the district of Camberwell, Walwortb, and Kennington, was held at Herder's Assembly Rooms, Francis-street, New ington, for the purpose of explaining the objects and co operating in the efforts of the Metropolitan Early Closing Association. Mr. Robinson was voted to the chair. A deputation from the central board attended, and ad dressed the meeting, urging eloquently the evils of the late hour system, and the success that had attended the efforts that had been made in other districts, under cir cumstances the most discouraging. Several gentlemen in the neighbourhood also addressed the meeting, and spoke most favourably of the feelings of the employers, employed, and purchasers in the district as to the move ment. A committee was then formed to carry out the views of the meeting, after which thanks were voted to the chairman and the gentlemen composing the deputa tion. The meeting then separated. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BIRMING HAM RAlLWAY.—Yesterday morning, about eight o'clock, an accident which terminated fatally occurred near the Camden-town station of the above line, to Charles Sea, a railway porter. The deceased was pushing forward a carriage, when he was jammed between the buffer and that of another carriage behind him. He was extricated and conveyed to University College Hospital, where, on examination by Mr. Quain, the house surgeon, he was pronounced to be quite de ad. CITY OF LONDON UNION. REPORT AND RESOLUTIONS RESPECTING THE NON-SETTLED AND NON-RESIDENT POOR. TO THE BOARD OF GOARDIAYS OF THE CITY OF LONDON UNION. We, your Committee to whom it was referred to con sider the recent Act to amend the laws relating to the removal of the poor, 9 and 10 Viet., cap. 66, together with the two circulars of the Poor-law Commissioners, and the opinions of the Attorney and SolicitOr-General thereupon, having carefully considered the same, beg leave to report That we are of opinion, that the board of guardians is not generally called upon to interfere in matters of settlement for particular parishes ; but in a ease like the present, which is to regulate the treatment of a large class of paupers belonging to one and all cf the parishes of this union, your Committee think it right that the board of guardians should state the general principle upon which they are disposed to act, with reference to the recent statute. We find that in the construction of the Act there exist the most opposite and conflicting opinions, whereby the practice of the several unions throughout the coun try has assumed an inconvenient diversity, highly detri mental to the interest of the poor. We find that while many of the unions and parishes are acting with large and liberal views, there are too many which have taken advantage of the uncertainty of the Act, to relieve themselves from their just burdens, and cast them upon the parishes or unions where the poor, out of humanity, hate been allowed to reside ; in this strict view of the Act they are sup ported by the legal opinions of the Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, and other learned persons. We are under a strong impression, however, that the said Act was intended as a boon to the poor, and that the Legislature, in passing it, never contemplated that existing ascertained and acknowledged settlements should be practically defeated, or that the relations between the aged, infirm, and helpless poor, and their respective pa rishes should be annihilated. We are of opinion, moreover, that the sudden with drawal of relief from the non-resident poor, many of whom are totally helpless and verging towards the grave, would be attended with inconceivable hardship and cruelty, by driving them to make out a new case, before new and unknown masters, and perhaps subjecting them, in their last years, either to a workhouse or an entirely different system and amount of relief. We think such a practice so manifestly unjust towards the poor, that we strongly urge upon the board of guar dians the propriety of continuing their relief as hitherto, to those non-resident poor, whose claims have been already made out and acknowledged, until a proper legal construction shall have been given to the said Act of Parliament. We confine this recommendation, how ever, to old existing and settled claims, leaving the several parishes of the union to take such coarse as they may deem advisable with regard to new claimants. We believe that this union has a larger number of non-resident poor than any union iu the kingdom; and we are aware that by acting in accordance with the opinions of the Attorney and Solicitor-General, this union might throw off the burden, not only of their poor resident iu the country, but also of the great ma jority of their out-door poor resident in London. We think, however, that as such a determination would be inconsistent with those humane principles upon which the board of guardians of the city of London have al ways endeavoured to act, they ought not, unless in obe dience to a clear and express direction of Act of Parlia ment, to adopt it. We think, that should you agree with us in our re commendations, notice of your intention should be im mediately given to those unions wherein your out door poor are resident. With respect to the poor of other parishes or unions resident in this union, whose relief has been withdrawn, we recommend that the places to which they belong should be apprised of the principles upon which you are resolved to act, in the hope that such relief may be re stored; but in case of an unsuccessful appeal to such places, and as long as the necessity lasts, we advise a continuance to such persons of their accustomed relief, at the expense of this union ; being disposed to recom mend an increase of your burdens, rather than that any poor and helpless fellow-creature should be deprived of the means of support. All which we submit for your consideration. Dated this 2d of November, 1846. T. THORNTON, Vice-Chair- JOSEPH ROWNSON. man. CHARLES SHAW. ROBERT E. WARWICK. ROBERT LEACH. F. W. VIGERS. JOSEPH MORRIS.

The noble suite of rooms on the first floor was appropriated for their reception, and fitted up for the occasion in a very elegant style. We need not say the dinner was of first rate order, and that it was served with the good taste which characterises the Albion. The proceedings of the evening were enlived by the visit of a deputation from the Carpenters' Company, who were in number 130, en tertaininr, the Sheriffs in the large room, to congratulate the Lord . Mayor on his accession to office, informing him that his health had been drank in the most enthu siastic manner, &c. The Lord Mayor returned thanks, and mutual compliments were interchanged. After wards & deputation from the Lord Mayor returned the visit, in order to pay R similar compliment to the Sheriffs.
