ANNIVERSARY OF THE POLISII REVOLUTION. In continuation from our First Edition of yesterday, Mr. T. ATTWOOD, M. P., said - It was not, however, with the present ielinisters that the shame of such irdifference began. —( Hear, hear.) He was sorry to lay, much as he respected the Duke of Welliaetnn as a sol dier,' that it' %see to him was to be first traced the corn ' meiieement of this career of misery and shame.—( Hear, hear, hear.) Ten years . since the Russians entered , *te' treateewith England.to carry, on a war against Turkey eforehe enearrel-e-'ation of Greece; but as soon as they got pos session of the Blank Sea,. the .Russians mule war separately on- eleurkejel erne Doie of Wellingioa reenonstrated, but re ..eaceretrancee-were useless: He ought to have told them at once to-elk:see:tate theoßlack Sea, or that he would make war on them. W.leneeeaa theieiconseguenee of his indifference to these pro .ceerlieret.s,?. aidilitteßuesians promised they would confine the jwee tcythh BI C'S Sea. but instead of that they pro ceedech :to block up the Dardanelles. If the Duke of on that occasion, bad covered the country with. so much degradation as almost to repay him the debt of gratitude due by that country on a former occasion, how did Lord Grey act ?—( Hear, hear.) Worse and worse. They all knew his interpretation of the treaty of Vienna with respect to the Russian Dutch Loan, but it was supposed that he would exact the chivalrous fulfilment of the treaty by the Russians. He regretted to say that such was not the case—on the contrary, when Russia found liberty arising among the people of France, it ordered its own armies and thus, of Poland to march to the Rhine to crush those liberties. Poland, to a man, arose on that memorable day, and vindicated their independence if they were not successful in regaining their liberties. What did Lord Grey do ? He had a fleet at the Nore, commande 1 by Lord Codring on, but he omitted to send that fleet into the Baltic, by which the oppressor would have been effectually crushed. Teel had thus been covered with shame under the Duke of Wellington—shame under Earl Grey—and worse if possible lAM under Lord Melbourne. How long would that state of things continue ? He did not want them to wage unjust wars, or wars of aggrandisement ; but if they saw their neiehbour's house attacked by robbers, and head the shrieks of his family, should they not rush to his assistanee ?—( Cheers. ) God forbid that such a state of things should continue much loeger, and he hoped that ere long they would be instrumental in bree!eing the chains of Poland en the heads of their oppressors. England ceold do it herself without any assistance.—( Hear.) She had only to Bake possession of the Dardanelles : the Cir cassians were her friends ; and the Russians would soon be beaten back behind the Caucasus.—( Hear.) Russia had now in the Black Sea a fleet of 26 line of battle ships. England had only seven ships of the line at present available. To be sure six more were at Lisbon, but they were waiting there to put down Liberty in Portugal—to assist the Queen of that country in ()leaking the oaths which she had taken to preserve the Constitution.—( Hear, hear.) Thirteen ships of the line might be mustered by this country at the mouth of the Thames within a month ; but what were they to a fleet of twenty-six line of battle ships within a fortnight's sail of the same place.—( Hear, hear.) Why had not the Mi nistry inquired into the cause of this armament, which, by the lees of nations, they were entitled to do ?—( Hear, bear.) The hope was that Nicholas would die ; but, as Demosthenes said to the Athenians when they said that Philip was dead, he being only sick, " Let Philip die, your pusillanimity will make a hundred- .Philips."—( Hear, hear, hear.) So he (Mr. Attwood)said to the Government, " Let Nicholas die, your pusillanimity will make a hundred Nicholases 1" (Cheers.) [ Several persons in the room cried, " Lord Dur ham."] A few years ago Members of Parliament said, " You have no cause to feel uneasiness at the progress of Russia." Now, however,, they said, " You must take care—Russia i 3 very formidable now."—(Loud laughter.) The sooner she was made un-formidable then, the better.—( Loud cheers ) They could not help going to war sometime—the sooner the better. He would only ask the Meeting to imagine a big man—very rich—with his pockets full of mo ney, and with a piece of paper on his back on which was written, "my pockets are full of money— my heart is full of cowardice—let who will kick and rob me, I shall not fight, nor shall I ever go to law."—(Great laugh ter.) But such was the situation of England; they had power, they had wealth, and measure and superabundance; the wealth and power of Russia did not amount to a tenth part of the wealth and power of England. If they kept on laying by, their children would hereafter hare a battle to fight that would be formidable indeed.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) They might hare. crushed Russia in her infancy, but they had allowed hcr to acquire uncontrolled dominion over Poland—they had allowed her to acquire uncontrolled dominion over Turkey, and she had encroached upon Circassia.—( Hear.) He did not wish to offend any one present, but he must say that the Tories connived at the deprivations of the English navy, for the purpose of the better enabling Cossacks to come over here. He trusted that that glorious nation, which was civilized long before our own, would soon be emancipated from the thraldom of the tyrant. He concluded by moving the third Resolution. Mr. E. BEALES most cheerfully seconded the resolution, be cause from a long and intimate acquaintance with the Polish refugees, whether prince or peasant, he was quite sure that they deserved the praises of all good men. —( Cheers.) They were entitled to the thanks of all those who loved freedom--they were entitled to the support of every lover of fret dont for the glorious struggle they hal kept up against the great tyrant of the day.—( Cheers.) They were entitled to the thanks of every freeman fur the heroic and chivalrous endurance of toils and hardships in the cause of freedom, which were al most unheard of.—( Hear.) Every friend of freedom owed them a deep debt of gratitude for the revolution which was not the result of a momentary impulse—they WJI c striking for geceral freedom. Polan I had formerly been the guar dian of Christendom against the Tutks, and it would yet be the guardian of Europe against the Muscovite.—(Cheers.) It was with these feelings, as well es for the immediate pur pose of liberating Poland, that these men struck on the 29th of Sept. 1830. e They did not select that moment for breaking out ; it was forced upon them, and they hesitated not a moment but raised the standard of Poland—they refused to swell the torrent of invasion which was pouring its waters over the re generated liberties of France—they flung themselves before the tide, with this feeling in their hearts, that if they could not regenerate the liberties of their own country, at least they would do something to secure the liberties of the world. It might be asked what assistance could the people of England render to Poland —they who were engaged in so many political struggles of their own, and aho had so mane Reforms of their own to accomplish ?—( Hear.) That in his opinion leas an additional reason ashy they should exett their energies in behalf of unhappy Poland. Shall Reform be longer withheld from the Irish people— shall it be any longer coolly and calmly discussed in the Im perial Parliament whether the same rights that are enjoyed by the people of England and Scotland shall be extended to the The cause of Poland was ours, and he instanced this as an additional reason fhr the people of Ireland to extort that which they had so long been seeking for as a favour. When he saw, England, Ireland, and Scotland united in the bond of fraternity, and when that day die come, it would carry dismay to the Tyrants of the earth, and bring joy and hope to the heart of the Pole, and to every one that was oppressed. The resolution was then put and carried. Lord DUDLEY STUART having by the consent of the meeting taken the chair, which had been vacated by Mr. O'Connell, Lord EUSTON proposed the thanks of the Meeting to Mr. O'Connell for his very proper and dignified conduct in the chair that day.—(Great cheering.) • Mr. M•Leon seconded the motion, and pronounced a very handsome eulogium upon the many and efficient peblie ser vices of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. The motiun was received with several rounds of applause by the meeting. Mr. O'CoNeteee briefly returned thanks, and the meeting, after giving three cheers for the brave Pules, quietly separated. Information was conveyed to the Zoological Society in the latter part of last week, that a living specimen of the female ourang outang, or wild man of the woods, hal been landed at Portsmouth, and immediate steps were taken to secure so valuable a prize fur the gardens. The ouraug reached London on Saturday, and a bargain basing been struck with the sai!rr who ha•l been so fortunate as to succeed in keeping her ali.c on the voyage from Borneo, she was in a few hours transferrel to safe (loaners in the Regent's-park. Notwith standing the continoment and fatigue of a five months' voyage, the creature appears in good health and spirits, and will pro bably prove as great a source of attratAiou as the chimpanzee. —Morning Paper. . ANIMAL MAGNETISM.—We are not about to discus; tha truth or cause of the dices attributed to what is termed animal magnetism, nor relate the results of the opera tions of the Baron Dupotet, which Inve been lately brought prominently for ward ; nor affirm with him, nor deny, their universal efficacy ; but we were present on Monday afternoon, when Dr. Signiond, at his residence, brought the subject be fore several gentlemen, scientific and eminent in the medical profession; and as it has thus engaged the attention of the enlightened of this cpuntry we record the fact. Several pre sent, ladies and gentlemen, submitted to the manipulations of Dr. Sigmond. Upon the former, without an exception, an influence was evident. In two eases sleep was induced, which was not disturbed by a gentle touch ; though sound, a note struck upon the piano, produced convulsive starts. On their being roused, and awakened to consciousness their attempti to raise their eyelids were for some time unavailing ; in another, hysterical affections were manifested; but by the gentlemen no effects were experienced ; they were all (ourselves among the rest) uninfluenced by the persevering efforts of Dr. Slg mond. The general impression of the faculty was in favour of the soothing and soporific action of the manipulationF, and ja possible efficacy in cases where narcotics have failed, or where it may be dangerous to administer them. The medium of act i o n, however, elicited difference of opinion ; and four sn ore° causes were assigned as probable, viz. mental affec tion, the respiratory organs, the decrease of temperature in the systex2f and, lastly, magnetic influence. On Friday Mr. Williams, a traveller for Mr. Richard Hughes, wine and spirit merchant, of Hereford, whilst riding in his gig, saw a note-case, about two miles from Abegavenny. lir. Williams picked it up, and found it to contain 5651. in batik notes, besides bills to an immense amount in favour of Messrs'. Branscombe and Co., of Bristol. On arriving at the turnpike, frir. Williams was met by Mr. Crouch, one of the ini,syb94.fdrjeat atWn of mind asked him i f be bad seen - `tirAt .

On the motion of Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET, the Order of the Day for the nomination of a Select Com mittee to inquire resp..tcting the practice of creating ficti tious votes in Irel:ind was read, and the Committee appointed. ENCROACHMENT ON BRITISH FISHERIES. An HON. MENIBER, whose no:me:we did not learn, beg ged to put a quesion to the Noble Ler], the Secretary for Foroign Affairs, respecting the encroachmen:s of the French upon the British Fisheries. Complaints of such en croachments by French trawl-boats had frequently been made by the fishermen of Kent; lout lately those encroachments had extended to the coasts of Suffolk, Norfolk, and York shire. The object of his question was, whether any arrange moot was likely t.) be made between the Governments of France and England on this subject. Lord PALMERSTON explained that arrangements had already been made between the two Governments, re specting the differences between the fishermen of Guernsey and those of the French coast. A Commission had been appointed to fix!upon a line of demarcation which would put an end to all different:, s. Government would direct attention to the subject adverted to by the Honourable Member, and if an amicable and satisfactory arrangement should not speedily be come to, it would not be their fault. A NOBLE LORD on the Ministerial side of the House said the evils complained of by the Committee of 1833 had in creased ; and he would at another time put the Noble Lord (Lord Palmerston) in possession of facts which would assure him that the question was one deeply affecting not only the national interest, but the national honour. He wished to know if the Commission would ex tend its inquiries to this question ? Lord PALMERSTON replied that this particular Commission was limited to the local arrangements as to the oyster fishery, and perhaps it would not be conve nient to extend its inquiries to the larger . question-men tioned by the Noble Lord, which could only be usefully discussed between the Governments of the two countries. CASE OF WILLIAM SMITH. Sir CHARLES KNIGHT LEY, in moving for the re turns of which he gave notice yesterday, said the case to which they referred was this—at the last Lent Assizes for Northampton (as - we understood), William Smith was tried for destroying his father's will, by which a nephew of the testator had lost considerable property. He was convicted on the clearest evidence, and sentenced to seven years' transportation ; but the sentence was commuted to three months' imprisonment in Millbank. This commuta tion had only been communicated to the Chairman of Quarter Sessions, who had wrote- to the Under Secre tary of State for explanation, but received no answer. The petition for the commutation had been got up by a Dr. Wat son, and signed principally by persons on his living. He did not learn whether this Doctor 'Watson was a Doctor of Divinity or of Medicine ; but on en quiry he found that he had taken a degree neither at Oxford nor Cambridge. He thought, therefore, that the liberation of this person, without a previous inquiry on the part of her Majesty's Government, was an insult to the magistrates. of Northampton, and a gross abuse of the prerogative of mercy. The Ho nourable Baronet concluded by moving that copies of the Correspondence which had taken place between the Chairman of Quarter Sessions and her Majesty's Go vernment, or any other papers connected with this transac tion, be laid upon the. table of this House. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that this was a most unusual motion, and he hoped that the House would not accede to it. He would shortly, however, state the grounds upon which the man had been liberated. A. memorial had been sent to him ,signed by a Dr. Watson, who represented himself as the clergyman of the parish in which this person lived ; and a number of the parishioners stated that this parson had destroyed the will in a moment of irritation and resentment against his father, who he conceived had treated him harshly, and that he was then in a state of health by which his, life was endangered, and hoping that the sentence would not be carried into effect. On this representation Smith had been liberated. The motion was then negatived without a division. DANISH CLAIMS. Mr. WARBURTON presented a petition from Baring, Brothers, and other parties, praying to be allowed to par ticipate in the remuneraCon given to parties with respect to the Danish claims. He would only now present the petition, giving n'tice that he should move that it be taken into consideration on Monday. Mr. M'KINNON obtained leave to bring in a Bill to Atneal the Law of Patent.—Adjourned. James Warwick, a horse-breaker, residing at Brack enburgh, in the parish of iiesket-ii,the-Forest; was employed on Monday in breaking in a young horse, after which, he got intoxicated, and as he was riding, home put his lighted pipe into his waistcoat pocket. Thn smouldering contents of his pipe fell into his clothes, and were fanned into a flame by the wind, which communicated to the whole of his dress. The poor man threw himself from the horse, and rolled on tho ground without being able to extinguish the fire. Mr. Wat kin, of Phuntons, who had observed the smoke rising for some minutes, at last went to see the cause, when be disco vered Warwick writhing in agony, enveloped in a body of flame; he extinjuished the tire, and had removed him to his .home, where he expired on Tuesday morning.—. Cumberland Packet. Last Tuesday morning, as Mr. Clark, farmer, of Deeping, was going to market, he saw a man driving nine oxen along the road to Spalding, and asked if they were for sale. The man said he was taking them to market, and Mr. Clark bought seven of them. Struck with the low price de manded, Mr. Clark thought they 'were not fa:rly come by, and requested the man, to go with him to Spalding to receive the money. On their arrival at the town, Mr. Clark made known his suspicions to the police, and the man was taken into custody and brought before the magistrates ; where, after some hesitation, hu confessed he had stolen the whole from Mr. Stranger, of Ketton, who came into Spalding in the c , mrse of the morning in pursuit of the thief, whose name is Mason, a resident of Ketton. The fellow was about to be married on Monday to a respectable young woman of, the place. tie was fully committed for trial at the next assizes.— Lincolnshire Chronicle. • FIREL—On Saturday morning, about four o ' clock, the house of Mrs. Sarah Matthews, in Greenfield street, Lower Deptford-road, was discovered to be on fire—the body of her late husband lying in the house at the time. It appeared that a person of the name of Morley, residing in the first floor, was alarmed by his wife, who found the room full of smoke. They got out of bed, when they found the floor of the room so hot that they could scarcely stand. Mr. Morley lowered his wife and child from the window, and then lowered himself. He obtained assistance, and the house-door was then broken open, and subsequently the door of the-front parlour, which was found to be on fire. Here a shocking scene presented itself, the trunk of Mrs. Matthews's body being discovered on the floor. With the assistance of the neighbours and the police the flames were extinguished, and the legs and arms was ),another r ati f i o e t tl of the unfortunate wom an were ascertained to have been burnt. completely off. 0. 1 the s ide of the trunk a n p o l partly belted. On the same morn in g ( Saturday ), ing calamity occurred in the abode of a poor man named Atkins, residinz in Tumor's-buildings, Grove-street, Commercial road, East. Between the hours of nine and ten o'clock Mrs. Atkins left home to procure b..eakfast for her husband and family, leaving three younz children in charge of their bro ther, and during her ab:eece one of them approached the fire, when its clothes ignited. The little girl ran about the room with its apparil in a blaze, and the flames unfortunately communicated to the clothes of the two sisters. The screams of the poor children brought the neighbours to their assist ance, when they found three of them enveloped in flames, which they subdued as quickly as possible. The three chil dren were most dreadfully burned, and one of them, Sarah Atkins, aged five years, soon afterwards expired. The others were removed to the London Hospital in a state of extreme suffering, and are not expected to survive. The parents of the children, who bear a good character, are in great poverty, and with their family have been for some time enduring great privations. Their pitiable situation has excited the greatest commiseration. Joseph Charles Luther, the last descendant of the great Reformer whose name he bears, has just abjured the Protestant faith in Bohemia, where he was living in the most • abject poverty.— Wurzbury Gazette.

The Minister of Finance is to present to the King every month a report on the state of the Treasury. " Arts. 6,7, and 8, are unimportant. The Hanover Gazette also contains a Joyal ordonnance, dated and signed as above, prescribinc , the following forms to be observed in making homage and declaration of allegiance to the King:— "Since the decease of the most high and mighty Prince and Lord William I V., King of Great Britain, Ireland, &c., as also King of Hanover, Duke of Brunswick and Lune berg, &c., &c., my most honoured Lord, the Government of the kingdom of Hanover and the principalities dependant upon it having devolved, by right of primogeniture, to his Majesty -Ernest Augustus, who has notified his accession by his manifesto of the sth July, 1E37 ; I, the undersigned, re cognise as sole and legitimate Sovereign King, Ernest - Au gustus now reigning ; and I promise to act as a good and fa . thful subject, undertaking to contribute with all my power to the welfare and prosperity of the said kingdom. In faith of which I have signed the present form with my names and surnames." TURKEY. CONSTA N rirfort.a, Nov. I.—Letters have been received here from Trebisond and Samsoun, bringing the intelligence that the Emperor, after having concluded the review of his fleet at Sebastopol, had set sail with it for the shores of the Cauca sus, where, immediately on his arrival, he had proceeded to the inspection of the different Russian fortresses erected on the coast, viz., at Anapa, Ghelenjik, Soukoumkale, and the late newly acquired position at Arlar, and having by the reinforce ment of ships he brought with him, now rendered the blockade so close as to prevent the possibility of any further communi cation from this side, be has expressed his doqrmination not to leave the country till he has put matters in such a train as will ensure to this long,-protracted contest a speedy and suc cessful issue. A report existing among the Circassians here states also that the whole of the troops which were collected at Sebastopol have now been embarked for Circassia. Affairs at Cimstantinople are now beginning to assume a greater degree of political interest than they have known for some time, in consequence of the rancour and bitterness which pervade the relations of the Porte with the French Govern ment ; which, increased by the recent reports of the progress of the Constantine expedition, is now carried to its full height by the arrival of the French squadron under Admiral Gallois in the harbour of Tchesme, where it has anchored close to the Capitan Pacha's fleet. The report in circulation within the last few days is that the Porte has demanded a categorical answer from Admiral Roussin as to the real intentions of the French Government, and the mediation of other powers is talked .of ; but I am not inclined to believe that matters have yet arrived at this. It is, however, certain that the rage of the Sultan was unbounded when he was informed of the ar rival of the French squadron, and that the insults which had been offered to the Capitan Pacha form the sole topic of dis cussion in the Turkish diplomatic circles. The Smyrna Gazette of this week contains letters from Sy ria up to recent dates, but there is no news of general impor tance. A conflagration, generally supposed to have been kin dled by the peasantry, exasperated by the continual oppres sions they suffer from the Egg ptian authorities had, consumed the whole of the mountain forests from Byards to Arons, or, as is said even to Antioch. A letter received from Trebisold last week, states that the fa•nous Kurd chief, Ravendous Bey, who had again been ordered to return to Constantinople on account of his being suspected of having been corresponding with the rebel chiefs, was decapitated in a 'small village near that city.— Morning Chronicle. ATROCIOUS MURDER AND SEDUCTION. (Abridged from the ,Gazette des Tribunaux of Friday). A frightful crime occurred in the commune of Martres de Riviere on the 14th of November. The following are some details respecting the crime and- its author :—Fifteen years ago, Jean Peyregne married Bertrande Bouche, of Labarthe de Riviere, a widow, with three daughters, all young. A short t;me after her second marriage the eldest girl, hardly turned fifteen, fell a victim to the incestuous seductions of the man who ought to have acted towards her in the light of a father. The indignation of the people of Labarthe was ex cited to the utmost by the knowledge of this crime. Almost all the neighbours rose e 4 masse, and determined to expel from their community a man capable of committing so scandalous an offence. This first impulse of indignation was put into immediate execution ; Peyregne was dragged to the bounda ries of the district, and there, on being dismissed, he was threatened with worse treatment if he dared to make his re appearance. The seducer submitted quietly to this popular vengeance, considering it, doubtless, an act of justice. He retired to Martres, whither his wife followed him ; there she purchased, in her name, so:ne landed property, with the pro. duce of that she had disposed of at Labarthe. Meanwhile the unhappy girl who had been seduced had, by good conduct, repaired the consequence of her lapse from virtue, and at the end of the last year was married to Francois Beze, a young farmer living in the neighbourhood. The union was a happy one ; it was about to be blessed by the birth of a child, when, few days ago, the family's . happiness received a shock by the sudden death of the mother, Bertrand Bouche. The'division of the property renewed old grudges and occasioned violent disputes. The children of the widow's first marriage (inclu ding Madame Base) claimed their share of the year's pro ductions. This Peyregne resolutely refused; a field of po tatoes still remained to be cropped. On Tuesday, the 14th, Prat:gals Beze and the three girls proceeded there. They had turned up a few furrows when Peyregne presented him self armed with a musket. Having vainly given them warn ing to withdraw, the girls and other labourers observed him advancing towards Haze with his musquet levelled at him. The latter armed himself with a hedge-stake, with Which he parried a butt-end blow of the weapon. Furious with this resistance, Peyregne retired a few paces ; the un happy Beze who immediately perceived his dangerous pur pose, attempted to fly, but he had scarcely run nine or ten paces before a ball from Peyregne's musket brought him to the ground and ki:led him on the spot. '1 his crime of Pey regne (the murder of the husband of his daughter-in-law whom he had seduced) was committed in open day, under the ej es of a great number of labourers, who either from cowardice or surprise allowed him to snatch up his cloak, and escape to the mountains. Prompt measures were immediately taken by the judicial authorities of the district to arrest hint, but lie has not yet been taken. It is surmised that the murderer's intention was to cross the frontiers and seek refuge in Spain ; and in order to baffle that object, a description of his person has been sent to all the various custom offices established along the frontiers. An officer in the Dublin garrison has advertised for a wife, and acknowledges he has no property, but can't think of taking a partner under 10,000/. The Woodstock (Virginia) Sentinel of Nov. 2, says;—" Partridges are so numerous in our vicinity, that they have actually marched into the stores of the village, of fering themselves up willing sacrifices to the delighted mer chant, There is scarcely a garden in town where they are not to be found ; and one morning this week we saw toveral sitting upon the market-house of this place." A considerable quantity of snow has lately fallen in the mountains of Burgundy, between Joisny and Chalons. SWEETENING SOIL.—One of the great natural agents fur sweetening the . soil by removing th e re j ect i ons o f pl a nts is water, which, in loose porous soil, carries them down into the subsoil beyond the reach of the roots ; and in stiff re tentive soil it may be employed to that them away by flowing s l ow ly over the surface, as is practised with so much eff ec t in i rr igating grass lands, rendering them of the ri c h es t green , as is finely exemplified in Switzerland and the Black Forest, as well as in other parts of that country, Now, plants In pots by b e ing regularly watered, as they m us t b e , an d by t h e wa t er t o wing freely through, as it ought to do, have their rejections washed away daily, almost as soon as they are thrown iuto the soil i and - much mere effect.tiall,i also, than can ever be done in, t h e open ground, It follow as a useful inference from this view, that' the evils well-known to result from setting potted plants in saucers or feeders, to supply them with water from beneath, do not rise altogether from the supply of water being rendered too copious, but from the excrementitious re jections, instead of being washed away, as in ordinary water ing, without saucers or feeders, being retained in the water, and again fix'PPil intß te_pont . post in the po,t!— pe Flower Gqrfigit LOUIS PIIILIPPE AT HOME. (From the Journal de Francfort.) King Louis Philippe rises every morning at eight o'clock. His first-Care is to read the letters which are handed him, and to despatch the most urgent affairs. This done, he procek.ds, at nine o'clock, to his dressing room, %bete his family are ad mittel While the Queen, the Princesses, and their brothers, are carrying on a conversation, in genet al g,y, animated, and unreserved, the King shaves ltim7elf, and bestows the most minute and careful attention to his teeth, which are very white and regular. 'laving finished .his toilette, during which he never ceases to join in conversation with his family, tl.e King sits down among them, embraces his children, and amuses him self greatly with the sallies in ,which they indulge, and to which he takes.a pleasure in exciting them by his own example. At ten o'clock the King makes a frugal breakfast. This meal is of short duration, and generally composed of potatoes, dressed with great simplicity. On rising from table he gene rally visits the masons and builders employed about the chateau, where works and alterations are almost incessantly gong on. From these excursions his Majesty frequently returns with his habiliments coveted with mortar and dust, for he takes great pleasure in creeping under the scaffoldings and climbing to the roof, to assure himself that the works are execut.:d in strict compliance with his orders. He chats with the workmen, who 'are seldom aware that the man with whom they converse so familiarly is no other than the King of the French. These excursions terminate at oue, when the Council of Mi nisters assembles. The King never fails to be present at their meetings he Sits down at the common table, takes immediate possession of a sheet of paper, and, while attentively listening to the deliberation, he sketches with his pen a variety of figures, either grotesque or fanciful. In these drawings is observed a great deal of what our artists call cltique. On the day when Alibaud attempted to assassinate him, the King had drawn a group.of aquatic birds, which it is said Fielding would not have disavowed. The King doses the sitting by recapitulating the arguments that have been used, and almost always points out the course to be pursued. The .Council having broken up, he takes leave of his Minis ters, and retires. The latter then dispute with one another the possession of the sketches that have escaped from the Royal pen. • These sketches afterwards serve to enrich the albums of the ladies about the Court, while the artist himself, probably, little dreams•of the value attached to his performances. The Kicg next wanders through the Tuileries and Louvre. He is at present much occupied with the galleries preparing for the Spanish Museum, which is to be placed in the wing where the clock is, and in that opposite to the Pont des Arts. As an ante-chamber to these galleries, there will be d room fitted up with a variety cf articles belonging to the time of Henri IV., which have been found in the Tuileries, for Louis Philip professes a most enthusiastic veneration for the Bear. naffs. The King often enters the ateliers of the numerous artists employed stout the Louvre. lhe painters to whom he appears most partial are Messrs. Alan and Court. The King sits down with them, examines their designs with the eye of a connoisseur, pronounces his opinions, which are almost all dic tated by sound criticism, and takes evident delight in seeing his pictures terminated. When he leaves these ateliers he has been noticed to sigh, and cast a melancholy look on the Place de Louvre and the quays, recollecting with regret the time when, with his umbrella under his arm, he wandered unaccom panied through the streets of Paris, visiting the buildings in a state of progress, and almost invariably stopping before the shops of the dealers in prints and lithographs. About two years ago an officer of the household attempted to reprimand a cap tain of the National Guard, who came all bespattered with mud to take his place at the Royal table.—" Blame him not," said the King. " he's a happy fellow to have it in his power to mike himself dirty." (Il est bias heureux de pouvoir se crotter ainsi. At dinner,the, Queen sits down with her children, her sister in-law, and the, gtle,sq who have been invited, without waiting for the King, who seldom arrives till towards the end of the repast- He helps himself to a plate of soup, which he frequently sends away after tasting it, on finding that it has got cold. A fowl boiled with rice Ipoulet a riz ) is then placed before him ; this he cuts up with his own hand, and generally cats nearly the whole of it. He then takes up a bunch of grapes or a handful of dry fruit, rises from the table, and, *ith his dessert in his hand, withdraws to an adjoining apartment, where all the newspapers published in France are laid out for his perusal. The King very attentively peruses this mass of political dis sertations, and seems to find much amusement in the irreverent jests at his expense, in which the petit journaux so unsparingly abound. At the time when the Charivari and Caricature published nearly every day a grotesque representation of the Royal person, he was often seen to laugh heartily at their sketches, and in the evening talked of them in his family circle, at times even showing them about with his own hand. After he has read the papers the King joins the Queen in her salon, and receives the persons admitted to the evening reception. If nothing has happened during the day to disturb his good humour, his Majesty's conversation is unreserved and highly instructive. He has seen much, is extremely well informed, tells a story remarkably well, and takes evident pleasure in do ing so. If any foreigner of distinction happens to be admitted to the circle, the King, who speaks several languages with great facility, usually addresses him in his native tongue, and the manner with which he does this is calculated to gain the hearts even of those least disposed to be favourable to him. Louis Philippe, it must not he forgotten, is a man of the most strict morality. Never has he afforded an opportunity to the most audacious calumny to breathe even an indirect insinuation against his p'rivat• life. He is kind and full of amenity to all who are employed in his service, but he is strict in exacting from theca the most punctual performance of their several du ties. The most perfect order and cleanliness must prevail every where around him, and any infringement of these rules is sure to draw down upon the offender a reproof, not the less painful for being pronounced with temperance. At ten the King retires to his own apartment, undresses, puts on his di essing-gown, and often works till two or three in the morning. He never, by any chance, affixes his signature to any document without having first ascertained the nature of its contents. He takes notes of every thing, and classifies these notes according to a method of his on n, intending to facilitate future reference. To every sentence of death the King de votes the most religious attention ; every document connected with the trial must be submitted to him, he studies them in a most conscientious manner, and never signs them till he has acquired a perfect conviction of the guilt of the assassin. If his work is finished at an early hour, the King repairs to the Queen's apartment ; if not a lit de camp is prepared for him, the hardness of which must remind the Royal k:e;ser of the couch of the Professor of Reicheneau.

In reply to the inquiry of the Spectator, " what arc they doing in Glasgow about the Ballot ?" the Glasg, - ,w Argus, received this morning, mentions that the editor of that journal has received a model of Mr. Grote's Ballot-box from Mr. J. Erskine Murray, and that it is to be publicly exhi bited. He also recommends that district meetings be imme diately called to petition Parliament to adopt Mr. Grote's plan It will probably be found that Lord John Russell has supplied a lodg's postscript to ilia meeting's proceedings.— Spectator. A man, a perfect stranger at Holsworthy, undertook for a bet of a few half crowns with different persans, to dig twenty bags of potatoes in one day. This he set about on the 16th instant, in a• field of Mr. Emanuel Petherick's, and com pleted the task in about six hours, and has offered to make a similar bet that he will dig twenty-six bags in a day. He says he is from Dorsetshire, and the same person who dug the astonishing quantity of thirty bags in a day, at or near Tops ham last year. Last week, a labouring man, in the parish of Ilsington, in this county, dug and filled twenty-six bags of po tatoes in one day. So abundant was the crop, grown in a very rich old soil, that he stated his belief that he should have numbered thirty begs had he made the attempt.—Devonport Telegraph. Information having been received at Hatton garden Police-offisT that Mr. William Weatherly Heartly, formerly a collector of taxes, was in custody on civil process in York Castle, an officer was despatched to bring him up to London. The officer immediately on his arrival in town brought his prisoner to Ha! ton-garden, from whence, after undergoinp a short examination . (which was attended by the parish authorities of St, Pancras), he was remanded for a week. The prisoner exhibited deep dejection, and held his handkerchief to his face during the whole time. The Bishow of Winchester has appointed the 7th of December for the performance of the ceremony of conse crating the ground of the South Metropolitan Cemetery at Norwood. The works have proceeded with great rapidity. and the a competition with the Harrow-road establishment will commence immediately after the consecration. The extent of the ground is 41 acres, exactly the same size as the Great Western Cemetery. The Bill authorising the construction of the South Metropolitan Cemetery was obtained in Ms, 1836, and the works were commenced last' February. The ground, which is beautifully situuted, is surrounded with a lofty wall and railing, and the plantations are nearly com pleted. The Episcopal catacombs are almost finished. and an Episcopal and a Dissenting chapel will be immediately erected. CHARLES LAMB.—Lamb, it is well known, was remarkable for bis niauvaise honte on a first introduction to strangers ; and he had also a singular faculty, whets in the vein for punning, of throwing a merry conceit even into a mono syllabic exclamation. On one occasion, hi-Abend T----, just as he was about to present him to a eireltr6 f new faces, exhorted him to a courageous bearing, concluding with— •' Now, will you promise, Lamb, not to make- yourself so sheepish as usual ?" Charles replied, with a rustic air, " I woo/1" " The force of punning can no farther go !" cri-d his laughing friend.

But in this case, f H l o for justice, but unhappily for the wretched criminal, her's„ details connected with the awful crime, and of his circa% stances, state of mind, and apparel, gives evidence so strongly corroborative of the truth of his disclosure as could have affwded only by a party to the horrid deed. The disclosure referred referred to and circumstances connected with it arc as follow —On the night of Saturday last, the 18th instant, * 1 e . a iiie Ayr town-guard were going their rounds, attended bys.7_etg, the t rl: ' A Cowan, they came upon two fellows boxing in both of whom they were proceeding to take into a f tl e s o t u e ° p u tl l when the one named Sword, a well-known character, - I r. • the attention of the guard to his companion, " That's a thief, he has stolen a watch and pawned A f te r Waugh's, the old clothsman, at the back of the i sle. t t he some inquiry the guard proceeded to Waugh's, g e ° lock - watch, liberated Sword, and took his companion to 6 ° sd o r, up.

On being questioned he co nfesteu_ rsioo petty thefts in the neighbourhood, but betrayed much &er uct , to allude to how the watch came into his possessien— in _b he has not yet admitted it. On being pressed to c onfee: _ ll said he had a reason for not doing so ; when it flashed fPtvhe the mind of the chief constable that this m; ht be 000 ° re watches of Mr. M'Donald, of Glasgow, who had been this demi.
