Then, at meals, it was a pretty thing to see Mrs. Mathews lift up the Count in her arms, and place him by her side in the seat always prepared for him, and sometimes, in doing so, put a Playful kiss upon his delicate little cheek, round the rosy soft ness of whi c h a p ro f us i on o f snow white hair curled and waved dke that of a fair child.

There is one article in the Number before us, which I 'llll be sure to attract the attention of military men, far 't is written in an excellent spirit, and contains m any useful hints which might be acted on at : l ead-quarters with advantage to the profession. It la • entitled " Suggestions for increasing Promotion in the Army," and is the production of one who evi dently understands the subject on which he wri tes, and n as apparently no interested ends to serve. " No tices on the Austrian Army" is from the pen of Cap tain Basil Hall ; some of the facts contained in this E ssay are well known, but the generality, we believe, tSill b e new to our readers.

He i?l t t upon his hazardous mission unattended, and disdaining j'aY aside his distingm:bing costume—a large cap of red oth, called by the Bisca'cul a cliapelgorry, a grey frock, /i thout waistcoat, a pair of re ; or blue pantaloons, and a girdle f l as tened round his loins, similar' to what a Franciscan brother e ars, but nesting half a score cari...vidges.

It is very remarkable, that the families of these Zorn foes to the cowl and ploughshare suffer no moleZiation Q (11 11 the Carlists whatever ; nay, there is not a single instaocv 2, l ;ecord of their persons or chattels having been exposed to i. Inroad, though they inhabit the same villages as the " fac- Iv i ?Ils" themselves.

THE REGISTRATION.-(THIS DAY.) CITY OF LOND ON. (Before Mr. TAMLYN.) ST. MICHAEL, CROOKED-LANE. The first claim in this parish was that of John Cobley, 1, Fan-court, which was opposed by Mr. Goodeve, the Conservative agent. John David Towse, the vestry-clerk, having been sworn, deposed that the claimant was rated to all the rates made in the parish, from the 31st July 1834, to 31st July 1835. The claimant said he paid 161 . per annu m rent, but did not think the premises worth more than 121. Mr. Towse—The Overseers did not return him, as he was only rated at Si. a year. He has not paid rates for six months before the 31st of July, and cannot claim to vote. Mr. TAMLYN-Oh ! Mr. Towse, you are joining in the opposition. Well, I think this claim is established. Mr. Towse—No, Sir, I don't oppose him. (To the claimant) —You see what you have rendered yourself liable to. Your rates will be raised. Mr. Trott---It is not so, Mr. Towse. Ido not like to hear gentlemen intimidated in that way from pressing their ,claims. —Claim allowed. The claim of William Bennett, a member of the Society of Friends, residing at 48, Cannon-street, was allowed. There were three other claims, but it appeared that none of the parties had resided in the premises for twelve months previous to the 31st July last, as required by the Act, and they were consequently disallowed. ST. MICHEL ' S, CORNHILL. The claim of Mr. Archibald Williams, of St. Michael's a;,',ey, was opposed by Mr. Rowcroft. m ) :. Trott—Perhaps the opposite party may have some difficult t - i ia;stion to put, which may demolish the claim at once. —Realty, the g own cases so well, entlemen demolish their Mr. Roweroti ,- t ; l o,t I do not like to interfere. The claimant provb ci occupation for twenty years, and payment of a rent of 60t: per annum. All the rates were paid, but he could not say' positively when the assessed taxes had been paid. The coLlector of assessed taxes was sent for, and in the meantime the es, ge was allowed to stand over. The claim was subsequently aliOwed. Mr. Fletcher, of Cornbill, claimed to he registered, but was objected to by Mr. Trott, on the pare of Mr. Heppell, on the ground that he was not rated. The Vestry Clerk proved that he was not rated for twelve months. Mr. Rowcroft asked the claimant what rent he paid? Mr. Fletcher-1501. a year.—Claim disallowed. Mr. Rowcroft felt himself imperatively called upon to make an observation upon the extraordinary inconsistency of the conduct of the opposite party, who professed to be desirous of extending the elective franchise, and then en deavoured io prevent a gentleman, occupying premises for which he paid a - rent of 1501. a-year, from registering his vote. He thoci . ,ght such conduct was extremely incon- sistent. Mr. Trott would only observe that inasmuch as the ob ject of the party for whom he appeared, was to prevent per sons from voting at elections who were not etitled to- do so, he was at liberty to oppose whoever he believed to be so circumstanced. Whether they had done right in preventing a person (who it now appeared had no right to have his name inserted on the list of voters), from being placed there, was for the public to decide. Stephen Nicholson Barber, jun., was objected to by Mr. Trott. The claimant's name was not upon the rate, and the objection was allowed. A great number of objections taken by the Conservative party were allowed, the persons objected to not having ap peared when called upon. Some objections by the opposite party were also allowed for the same cause. (Before Mr. CRAIG. ) There were no cases standing over for judgment, and Mr, Craig at once proceeded with the objections to claimants in the list of St. Botolph, Aldersgate—there were 54 taken by the Conservatives, six of which were disposed of this morning against them. There was no point raised of the slightest public importance. INSOLVENT COURT.-(THIS DAY.) John C'hristinas applied on his petition to be discharged. The insolvent was unopposed. From his statements it ap peared that he had taken the benefit of the Act at Nor wich in 1827, that he had applied again to the Commis sioner in 1833, when his petition was dismissed. Notwith standing this, the insolvent had accepted upwards of 300/. worth of bills for the accommodation of certain persons. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER, in a sharp tone—lnsolvent, will you never learn experience. What could induce you, after having been twice a prisoner for accepting accommo dation bills, still to persevere in that practice ? The insolvent could give no satisfactory reply, but not being opposed he was ordered to be discharo ' ed. Charles Wallingham, who stated himself to be a Lieu tt,nant in the Navy, on half pay, was opposed by Mr. WooDaoFFE on the part of Messrs. Chard, the Navy agents. The insolvent had been twice discharged under the Insolvent Act, first in 1821, and again in 1833. On both these occasions, the Court ordered part of his pay to go towards the payment of his debts. In the petition the insolvent had now presented he had concealed the fact of his insolvency in in), when he was remanded for six months, for making away with part of his property. On being asked the reason of the omission, the insolvent stated that he had quite forgotten it. Mr. WOODROFFE contended, that the order for hearing ought to be discharged, on account of the non-insertion of the insolvency of 1821. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER concurred in this, and di rected the order for hearing the petition to be dismissed, and the insolvent to be remanded to prison. IRELAND-DUBLIN, SEPT. 28. ( From a Morning Paper Correspondent.) EXTERMINATION OF ROMAN CATHOLIC TENANTRY. The plan for colonizing Irish estates exclusively with Pro testant settlers, for devising which the country has been in debted to the inventive genius of the late Brunswick Club, though it has failed as a great national undertaking, is still ope rating in several counties with frightful severity, and silent but appalling success. Its adoption, particularly since the passing of the Reform Bill, has been systematically resorted to by the Tory landlords in almost all the pror races, as the most effective counter rise to the weight of political power conferred on the Liberal in terest by the provisions of that popular measure. The extermina ting process is as certain an attendant on the defeat of a Con servative candidate in an Irish county as even a petition to Par liament, acid bids fair in a few years, unless checked by legisla tive interfeeence, to supersede the latter device altogether. This, considering the great advantage it possesses over the Macedonian systeel of electioneering warfare, both in point of certainty and economy, is not at all to be wondered at. Few of our Tory strategists are as wealthy as Phillip, and, even were they, a committee of the Hoose of Commons cannot always be depended on for setting aside a majority even of Popish voters. To get rid of them, therefore, in the first in stance, is by far the safest and most effectual method ; and to this the Tories have at length fully opened their eyes. The initiative in the new science has been made, but on an humble scale, in other districts in Ireland : but to the landowners of Carlow belongs the honour of advancing the discovery by a series of bold and extensive experiments. Lord Beres ford has, in this respect, set a noble and praiseworthy ex ample. His Lordship has the merit of having recently esta blished within that county the first normal school for the pro pagation of pure Conservatism. A village, inhabited exclusively by Protestants drafted from the head-quarters of Orangeism, has for the last year risen on the ruins of the Popish hamlets on his Lordship's estate. The houses of the new settlers are all built and fortified on the most approved model of barrack architecture, and the inmates arc plentifully supplied with arms and military stores at his Lordship's expense, the only concern of the residents being confinded to the munition de bouche. Lord Beresford's. example has already had many imitators, and the proscribing system is now in active and general operation. Its application is not left to the great proprietors alone. Every man with the slightest pretensions to the rank of gentleman, who happens to be the purchaser of a few acres, is emulous of similar re nown, and aspires to be the owner of a Protestant colony. A case of extermination on a small scale, has just been commu nicated to me, which, for intensity of zeal, and fixedness of re solution on the part of the gentleman-proprietor, deserves to be noticed. Mr. Brewster, a Barrister, residing in Dublin—the same, I believe, whom the late Government raised to the rank of King's Counsel—has given all the Catholic tenants on a small property of his in Carlow—a late acquisition, I under stand—notice to quit. Twenty.four families are stated by my informant to have been ordered to the road by the 29th in stant. Every effort has been made to prevail on the new land lord to alter his determination, but in vain ; he continues inexo rable. An offer has been made to advance the rent from 20s. to 555., but it would not do. The, reply is stated to be "No ; if you gave me 51., I'll send you off, and stock it with Pro testants." The only cause assigned by the tenantry for this harsh proceeding is, that two of them, named Harney, had votes, and refused to support Bruen and Ka vanah at the late election. By the way, happen to know that Mr, Brewster was conducting counsel to these gentle men on that occasion. It may, however, be enough to know, that they (poor people) are all Catholics. It is further men tioned that on their entreating permission to remain in their houses during the approaching winter, they received for answer, " Let me see the man of you that will have even a blanket there after tea 29th of September I" This statement I have on the au thority of is. person mho says "it can be substantiated, every word of it by affidavit," I believe that there is no humane in dividual in either country, but would regret, for the sake of bufflaz nature, to find this represeaatio verified, but I grieve to say, Po many instances of the kind occur in upland to ren der it at all iwpfpbable.

RAMSGATE-AVEDNESDAY getting them on board his ship. They proved to be men belonging to a Newcastle collier, the Fame, bound to Yarmouth, which had been wrecked. The pbor fellows were so exhausted by fatigue and hunger, that they were no longer able to use their oars.

It will hardly be credited that, reduced as theatricals have been to the lowest ebb, Mr. Tyrone Power has the modesty, if we are to credit a statement in the papers, to demand only 201. a night. for his services! (FURTHER PARTICULARS.) The arrangements made for the reception of their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Vic toria hdve absorbed a large portion of the public attention here during the last few days. The enthusiasm with which the illustrious Visitors were received yesterday on their arrival in this town was no doubt gratifying both to their Royal Highnesses and the inhabitants. At an early hour in the morning the busy din of preparation was heard, and trium phal arches were completed at the entrance of the town, corner of Chapel-place, the Market and Albion-places, adorned with flags and devices, with variegated lamps. On their Royal Highnesses reaching their mansion (Al bion House), the Royal Standard was hoisted on the point of the cliff immediately adjoining, where it will remain triumphantly waving during the residence of the royal party. The guns belonging to the pier, and the different vessels in the harbour, fired a salute, and the utmost enthu siasm prevailed. Preparations were made for an illumina tion in several parts of the town, and in the evening there was a blazing display at the different houses and arches ; but unfortunately the wind being very high, many of the lamps were blown out, and the intended effect was destroyed. In the garden iii front of Chapel-place Mr. Townly delighted a very numerous concourse of spectators by a brilliant dis play of fire-works. During the day immense numbers of persons poured in from all parts of the surrounding country to catch a glimpse of our illustrious visitors, and in the evening the streets presented one moving mass. To add to our gratification, about five o'clock yesterday afternoon the Ferret steam-packet, Captain Hamilton, en tered the Harbour, having on board their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians, and suite, amidst the roar of cannon and shouts of thousands of spectators. They were received on their -landing with due honour, and escorted to the Albion Hotel, where two suites of apart ments had been already engaged for their reception. The excitement caused by their arrival had scarcely ceased, when the Duke of Nemours and suite drove through the town (from London) to meet his Royal relatives. His Royal Highness landed at this port a few weeks since on his ar rival in this country. We are informed that his stay here will not be of long duration, as he is about to return to France. His Majesty, the King of Belgium, will depart for London in the course of a day or two, leavin g his Royal Consort here. The following address to the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria having been prepared, their Royal Highnesses, signified their pleasure to receive it at 11 o'clock this morning, at which hour it was presented. " To their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and Princess Victoria. " May it please your Royal Highnesses, " We, the inhabitants and visitors of RamSgate and its vi cinity, beg leave most respectfully to approach your Royal Highnesses with sentiments expressive of gratitude for the honour conferred on this town by your Royal Highnesses' renewed visit. " We beg also most respetfully to assure your Royal High nesses, that no exertions shall be wanting on our part to merit this flattering mark of distinction. " In thus approaching your Royal Highnesses, whilst we earnestly hope that, through Divine Providence, you will long enjoy prosperity, health, and happiness, we cannot refrain from expressing, with gratitude undissembled, our full assurance that the maternal care which has so anxiously watched over the earlier years of the Heiress- Presumptive to the Throne of these Realms will be repaid by the formation of such a cha racter as will adorn a British Crown, and entwine itself around the hearts of a British people. " We further most respectfully request that your Royal Highnesses will deign to accept this expression of devoted and sincere attachment from us, the dutiful and loyal subjects of our august and beloved Sovereign." The deputation was most graciously received, and Her Royal Highness delivered the following reply : " GENTLEMEN—I am sure you will easily believe that I passed through the town of Ramsgate yesterday with many gratified feelings. The Princess and myself have the most agreeable recollections of the many happy days we have spent here, and our hearts gratefully responded to the cordial weleonie which all classes gave us yesterday. " My maternal feelings, and those I owe the King and the country, lead me to share with you in the hopes you express relative to the Princess. It is the object of my life to render her deserving of the affectionate solicitude she so universally inspires, and to make her worthy of the attachment and re spect of a free and loyal people." The town being also desirous to congratulate His Ma jesty the King of the Belgians on his arrival in England , the following Address was presented to him at ten o'clock this day : " To his Majesty, the King of the Belgians, We, the Inhabitants and Visitors of Ramsgate and its vicinity, beg to approach your Majesty, upon your arrival on the shores of England ; and recollecting, with feelings of gratification, that this town has on former occasions been honoured by your Royal presence, we feel every incentive thus to offer to your Majesty our humble congratulations, ac companied by our warmest wishes for the health and welfare of your Majesty and of your royal Consort, and for the happi. ness of that nation over whose destinies your Majesty has been called to preside." Reply of his Majesty, the King of the Belgians. " We return our warmest and best thanks to the Inhabitants and visitors of Ramsgate and its vicinity, for the very cordial and truly gratifying welcome which they gave us, on our ar rival on the shores of England. The great kindness which the' Inhabitants of this town have so constantly shewn me on former occasions, has been gratefully recollected by me ; and it was, therefore, a source of real pleasure to me to be able, after so many years, to visit VIENNA, SEPT. 27.—The Turkish Ambassador to Paris, Reschid Bey, arrived here yesterday from Con stantinople. This morning Prince Gustavus Vasa departed for Toplitz. _ _ _ Lord Auckland and the Hon. Misses Eden, accom panied by the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Eden, left town at twelve o'clock yesterday for Portsmouth, to embark for India. The chere amie of a Noble Duke was nearly over turned in her carriage yesterday afternoon, at the entrance to the. Regent's Park from the New-road, owing to the horses taking fright at the barking of a dog. Mrs. W. alighted, and walked to her residence in the vicinity, with out evincing much alarm. The statue of the late King of Bavaria, Maxi milian Joseph, in bronze, was, on the sth inst., placed in front of the new Palace at Munich. It weighs, including the pedestal and the attributes, 400 quintals. The pe destal is 30 feet high. Its inauguration will take place on the lath October, during the annual popular festival. We , understand that the sentinel on duty at the new steps leading into Duke-street from St. James's Park, was molested in some way yesterday morning, and stabbed a boy in the back. The boy was carried to a surgeon, and the sentinel was removed by a sergeant, that the affair might be investigated. - - The Act of last session for the abolition of unne cessary oaths in the public departments comes into opera tion this day, when a declaration to the same purport as the former oath will be substituted. The New Monthly Magazine for October exhibits an extraordinary instance of the variety of first-rate talent introduced into the pages of a single number of this deser vedly popular periodical. It contains articles by Thomas Campbell, Esq., the Author of .‘ The Pleasures of Hope," the late S. T. Coleridge, Barry Cornwall, Theodore Hook, Mrs. S. C. Hall, John Poole, Esq., Miss Landon, N. P. Willis, Esq., and Elliot, the author of Corn Law Rhymes, exclusively of the various anonymous contributors. The Society of Antiquaries of Autun recently pur chased a curious Gothic Chapel, which is said to have been erected in 1247, at La Dree, by a Sieur Jehan de Couches, after his return from the Crusades, and where he was in terred in the above year, as is evidenced by his epitaph, which is still legible. The Chapel is seated in a deep wood, but the society is about to have it removed to Autun, and placed as,an appendage to the Cathedral. The Bishop has offered to contribute to the expense.—Galignanis Mes senger. MILITARY PREPARATIONS AT NAPLES.— Extract of a letter of the 10th inst from Naples :—" A the annual fete of Madonna di Pie di Grotta there was a grand review of several corps of the army, and of all the horse and foot National Guard. This is the first time that this body has assembled in a complete state. It is commanded by the Prince of Salerno, Commander-in- , Chief of the National Guards of the whole kingdom. Many persons are quitting Naples from the fear of the cholera. The Government also is alarmed at it, and troops are in march on every side to reinforce the cordons on the fron tier. Really, when we contemplate so great a display of force, w 6 are tempted to inquire if it be the dread of cho lera alone which puts these troops in motion." A public dinner was given last Friday at Montrose to P. Chalmers, Esq., M.P., in testimony of his Parliamen tary services. On his health being drank he made a long, energetic, and very eloquent speech ; fully justifying the high standard which his constituents had assigned to his political principles. Mr. O'Connell's triumphant progress through Scot land terminated at Kilmarnock on Friday. The last public act of his ovation was performed there. The last words of his thrilling accents rolled upwards to the sources of the Irvine, and eddied around Loudon-hill. In every place where he stopped, deputations from the surrounding dis tricts were in waiting to receive him. This, we are proud to say, was O'Connell's reception in ‘. this Protestant and Covenanting country." And why are we proud of this ? Not because it was an honour done to O'Connell, though we know him to be active, indefatigable, and eloquent, and believe him to be honest ; but because it is to• us a proof that the bigotry which self-seekers try to turn to their mil advantage, no longer exists to any extent in Ow land. Glasgow Argus. The Brussels Papers state that the number of stran gers that came to that city for the fetes exceeded 100,000. There was not a single innkeeper above mediocrity who was not obliged to refuse admission to four times as many persons as his inn would contain. Among the visitors was the son of a farmer near Turnhout, a young giant, 9.6 years of age, and 7 feet 6 inches high. None of the beds of the Hotel de Cologne, where he put up, were large enough for him; and a bed was consequently made on the floor. you again. " I you, also, for the kind wishes which you express for the happiness of the nation whose destinies Providence has been pleased to confide to my care ; we are near neighbours, though separated by the sea, and I can assure you that in that nation there exists a very warm and kindly feeling towards the British nation. " I cannot conclude without expressing, in return to you, my earnest prayer for the welfare and happiness of this great, good, and powerful nation. Through many years my fate has been intimately connected with it, and I shall ever feel for it the same warm and sincere attachment." In the course of the day his Grace the Duke of .Wel lington drove in from Weimer Castle to pay his respects to the Royal party. REPROOF TO THE ENGLISII.—The English are perhaps the only people in Europe who cannot be admitted freely into public walks, gardens, or buildings, without com mitting some injury or nuisance. Names are cut oil trees or benches, or something or other is mutilated or defaced. It is very different on the continent. The public gardens at Frankfort are only separated from a high road by a single rail, and yet nothing is injured, although no one is excluded. In these gardens, a nightingale had for many years built its nest in a particular spot, close to one of the walks. It was seen by every one, and yet no one molested it, until one day a foreign servant saw and took it. When it became known, the man was hunted by a mob, taken before the city autho rities, and the fact being proved, be was sentenced to have his coat turned, to be drummed out of the city with every mark of disgrace, and never to enter it again.—Jesse Gleanings. We recommend to the notice of schoolmasters and others intrusted with the instruction of youth two works on Arithmetic just published. The first of these is entitled " The Young Arithmetician's Guide," by John Davidson, A.M. The other is " Arithmetic Modernized," by John Davidson, A.M. and Robert Scott, Edinburgh. These books are really what they profess to be, admirably suited for the instruction of youth. The authors have had much experience in tuition, and, as might have been expected from that circumstance, the works they have produced are free from all that antiqUated matter with which most of the previous works on this subject abound, while they are completely stored with what is useful and practical. The illustrations of commercial subjects appear to us to be par ticularlfuseful and judicious, and full of information. THE WODHULL PEERAGE —We extract the fol lowing from the Leicester Journal :—" We learn that the title of the ancient barony, De Wahul, or Wodhull, is likely to be restored to its proper heir, S. Chapman, Esq., of LuttervvortlL A petition to that effect has lately been presented by that gentleman to the House of Lords ; and, we understand, his claim has been referred to the Com mittee of Privileges, with an order to be heard by counsel." Mr. Wodhull was a man of considerable literary fame ; he wrote a volume of original poems, and translated Euripides —he is mentioned in the " Bibliographical Decameron," by the Rev. Thomas Frognall Dibdin, and in Chalmers's Bio graphical Dictionary. Mr. Wodhull was a gentleman of great eccentricity. MONEY MARKET, WEDNESDAY.—A change has recently taken place in the mode of transacting business between the Bank of England and the branch banks in the country, which claims some notice, as all such changes are productive more or less of inconvenienoo to the public. Heretofore- the practice was, when payments were to be made in London through the branch banks, for the to take a bill payable in 21 days, Qr s9mo Let; term . , ...ae . it les r date, which, when arrived ort, maturity, became in all re spects the same as a bank-note, and Piin3teci no trouble whatever from the holder '-)APO.VA inste4 a this prac tie?, at yirli;rii_n ekce,irom kra be:en taken, nor any corn ' Aril oll ,a ( l9 , RI4P adopted to ~ 6W 4 bill payable seven more days after .

To many persons, especially where the sums are small, and the par ties not much cot - versant with business, this is found to lie highly inconvenient, and the whole thing is, in' fact, greatly COURT CIRCUL &R. The King, attended by Sir Herbert Taylor, arrived in town at a quarter past one o'clock yesterday afternoon, from Windsor Castle. At two o'clock his Majesty held a Privy Council, which was attended by the First Lord of the Treasury, the Secre taries of State for the Foreign and Colonial Departments, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the President of the Board of Control, and the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. At the Council the time was extended for the Revising Barristers to make divisions of the towns into wards. . Viscount Palmerston officiated in the absence of the Lord President of the Council. The Hon. William Bathurst was the Clerk of the Council in Waiting. The King gave audiences to Viscount Melbourne, Vis count Palmerston, Sir John HObhouse, Lord Glenelg, Lord Hill, Gold Stick in Waiting, and Colonel D'Oyley, Field Officer in Waiting. Lord Templemore and Sir James Reynett were the Lord and Groom in Waiting. The Princess Sophia visited his Majesty yesterday at St. James's. Baron D'Ompteda, the Hanoverian Minister, Sir Thomas Hardy, and Sir John Macdonald, had audiences yesterday -of the King. His Majesty, attended by Sir Herbert Taylor, left St. James's at a quarter past six o'clock last evening, on his turn to Windsor Castle. Lord Auckland and the lion. Misses Eden, accompanied by the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Eden, left town at twelve o'clock yesterday, for Portsmouth, to embark for India. The Earl and Countess of Mansfield, the four Ladies Murray, and Captain Donald Murray, left the villa at Caen Wood, last week, for the Palace at Scone, in Scotland. The Earl of Carlisle has taken an hotel in Paris for three months. The Marquis of Westminster arrived at Eaton Ha in Cheshire, on Monday last. The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland will pass a part of the winter in Paris. The Hon. William Ward has left Mivart's Hotel for Hemby Hall, Dudley. This gentleman comes into possession of the principal part of the property of the late Earl Dudley. Viscount Cranstoun (eldest son of the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury), accompanied by his tutor, has recently returned from a two years' tour on the Con tinent. This amiable young Nobleman is labouring under a severe affection of the eyes, which almost deprives him of sight. The Marquis of Lansdowne has arrived in Lime rick, on his way to -visit his estates in that county and in Kerry, which are very extensive. If the great English landholders who have estates in Ireland were to visit them occasionally, it would be highly beneficial to their tenantry, as they would then become personally acquainted with their wants and condition. p.ptOn Bourgain, of the French vessel Pere de Font, retuff ffpfp fiobry f iN5yfp111 , 4149419 Dun irk, Cleie'riecr,' When nearly . witlnq :;411t,' ,tir 04, ‘O. boat with four men in.

It is said that this is done in gonseclue nee of a question introduced into the cross bill ill equity tiled by the Directors of the London and Westminster Data against the Bank of England, which atU how the Litter can possibly sustain any injury by the acceptance and taking up of hills by the former Company, when they (the Bank of England) never do any business of that kind ? The Bank Directors, it is imputed, are preparing then el to ' put in an answer to that question, by this ""jw practice of , acc epting bills from the country .4anawtaii It is so diffi cult to believe, however, that a step of this kind can have been taken by a great Corporation with no other view than that of keeping up a hostile contest with a rival with a small capital, and a very remote chance indeed of ever be coming formidable, imposing at the same time very unne cessary trouble on the public, that this view of the eine ought not to be adopted except upon the strongest and clearest evidence. Some explanation seems, however, to be necessary.—Mornixg Paper. The farce of revising the Whitehaven Borough Lists was enacted, in the presence of a dozen or two parish officers. atomics, agents, and dependants.— Whifekm• ,en Herald. A few days since, we had occa si( 7.l to complain of the high price of bread in this 'taxed island. Bacon is also much dearer here than iu many parts of the country.---. Jersey Argus, There is scarcely a vegetable which we now employ that can be found to grow naturally. Buffon states that our wheat is a fictitious production, raised to its present condition by the art of agriculture. Rye, rice, barley, or even oats are not to be found wild, that is to say, growing naturally in any part of the earth, but have been altered by the industry of mankind, from plants not now resm bling them, even in such a degree as to enable us to recog nise their relation. CHARGE OF ATTEMPTED RAPE.—On Wed nesday, Richard Blanchard was brought up under a war rant, charged with having committed a violent and brutal assault on the person of Ann Rtvill. A similar ' assault was committed last winter, in the same neighbourhood, upon a female who has since died.—Hull Okerver. CURIOUS CUSTOM.—" THE LAWLESS COURT." —On King's Hill, in Rochford, the couutty of Essex, on every Wednesday morning next after Michaelmas Day, at cocks' crowing, there ;:rs by ancient custom a Court held by the Lord of t.te Manor of Raleigh, which is vulgarly called the " Lawless Court." The Steward and suitors whisper to each other and have no candles, nor any pen and ink, but supply that office with a coal ; and he that owes suitor service thereto and appears not, forfeits to the Lord double his rent every hour he is absent. The Court is called " Lawless," because held at an unlawful or lawless hour, or quia dicta sine lege. This Lawless Court is im perfectly mentioned by Camden, in his description of Essex, who says this servile attendance was imposed on the tenants of that manor for conspiring, at the like unseasonable time, to raise a commotion. EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.---A gentlemn ar rived in town ye . sterday afternoon from BruP:sels states while travelling to that city in the Aix- l a-Chapelle dili gence last week with twenty-six inside and outside passen gers, among whom 'were several I .j;nglish, they were over taken by a tremendous stem of thunder and lightning, which caused the horses to take fright and overt u r n the carriage in a ploughed field below the road. In this di lemma they remained five hours for want of assistance during the raging tempest. The lightning deprived five of the passengers for some time of their sight, but fortu nately after a short time it was restored. The diligence was struck and partially injured by the electric fluid, while the passengers lay in the field, and when the storm abated, they found that the lightning had struck the ground near them also, and tore it up a considerable way as if a plough-share had passed over it. The gentle man describes the escape of the party as truly miraculous, and the storm as the most terrific that can possibly be imagined. INCENDIARISM.—Monday night, about eleven o'clock, a fire was discovered in a wheat rick, at Salmon Bridge Farm, in the parish of Tillington, about three miles from Petworth, in the occupation of Mr. Farrell ; and about a quarter of an hour afterwards a large barn, the pro perty of Hasler Hollist, Esq„ of Lodsworth, about a mile from the former, also burst into flames. The latter (con taining the produce of about four acres of oats) was, from a deficiency of water, totally destroyed, as well as some adjoining outhouses. The former, by the prompt arrival of the engines of the Earl of Egrernont, and that of the parish of Petworth, was confined to the single rick in which it began, although situated between a large barn, full of new wheat, and a thatched carthouse, and not above four feet distant from either of them. The pro perty in both cases is insured. It is supposed that both fires was the work of the same person, but no clue has at present been obtained to his discovery. At about eight o'clock on Monday evening the in habitants of Kensington-gore were much alarmed by the loud cries of " Murder," uttered in a female voice, proceed ing from Hyde-park. A number of persons, among whom were several soldiers of the Bth Royal Irish Hussars (wt o had just returned from the review at Windsor), t m . ne .., diately proceeded in the direction of the cries. Afcer going some distance along the wall of Kensington _gardens, they were met by a respectable female (who"..c name we forbear to mention) in a state of great agitaton, who informed them she had been grossly insulted 1a , .; a man who she said had, on hearing their approach. 0 _,„:1 towards the bridge over the Serpentine. Two bi the soldiers immediately offered to escort the I.P.'!.ty to her residence at Kensington, while Ser jeant-major Simmonds proceeded in pursuit of the fellow, whoul 'ne overtook near the bridge. There being no police , man near, the Serjeant-major inflicted a severe personal chastisement with his riding whip on the fellow, who cried lustily for mercy, and who, on being released, fled at his utmost speed. It is surprising respectable females venture to pass alone through the Park after nightfall, as .they may rest assured they will be insulted by fellows lurking about the Park for that purpose. THE CENSORS HUMBUGGED.—The censors em ployed under the new law in Paris received, a few days since, a somewhat bulky manuscript, signed with the names of two authors already successfully known. It was retained for examination fin- two days, and then returned to the author, with upwards of 1,500 erasures. They were re quired to modify 300 lines, replace 500 words, shorten 12 scenes, and change 20 names, which were considered ob noxious to the public tranquillity, political order, and dra matic propriety. On receiving the manuscript the pre sumed authors immediately transmitted the following reply to the censors :—" Gentlemen, we have the honour to ac knowledge the receipt of our censured manuscript, with the accompanying letter. 'We agree with you in thinking. that the passages marked for erasure may be of that perturbs.- five character which you have supposed ; but as we do not dare to cut or modify the verses of Pierre Corneille we prefer foregoing the representation of Nicomcde at, flie Co medic Francaise."—Entr' Acte. DARING OUTRAGE BY A FEMALE.—Yesterday afternoon a desperate-looking female wall a child in her arms, entered an eating-house, No. 38, High-street, St. Giles's, and asked for some soup, when the child commenced crying, and she uttered the most horrid language, to the an noyance of the customers. She was requested to desist, but she became more violent and annoying, when Henry Snowdon, the waiter, proceeded to put her out of the place, which she resisted with desperation, and her screams alarmed the whole neighbourhood. She eventually extricated her self from him, and seizing on a table knife, she made a rush at him, and stabbed at him several times, but he warded off the blows. She at length made another stab at him, and the point of the knife stuck in his forehead fast above the right eye, and she no doubt would have taken his life had not several persons seized hold of her, and taken the wea pon from her. Snowdon proceeded to a surgeon, bleeding profusely, and had the wound dressed. The prisoner was conducted to Hatton-Garden Police-office, where she gave her name Mary Roach, and said that her husband had gone to fight for the Queen of Spain, and she sold things in the street to support herself and family, She did not deny having stabbed Snowden, saying that he tore her clothes, and was about to turn her out before she had finished her dinner. ShS was ordered to find bail, and in default she was committed to prison. CATASTROPHE.—Two DEATIIs.—The follow ing dreadful occurrence took place at Down Ampney, on fuestlay last. Mr. Pinniger, of that place, had purchased some oxalic acid at Cirencester on the 'Monday, for the purpose of cleaning boot tops, which he placed in a cup board near some Epsom salts. On Tuesday morning, his brother complaining of slight illness, Mrs. Pinneger, h;• mother, intended to give him the salts, but by mist ak .'e sub 6 stituted half an ounce of oxalic acid. As soon . drank it he exclaimed, " 1 have taken po;- as he had ...,on !', His bro ther, on being informed of the eir-- mounted a very powerful h 0,.. ..;umstance, immediately se, and galloped to Cricklade for medical assistane , . met an old .... On his road, when near Latton, he de.- -an who was travelling with a donkey, and en - _.oured to pull up to avoid him ; but the old man being rather confused, moved first to one side of the road, and then to the other, and the animal being fresh Mr. P. could not pull in time to clear him ; when, as if to render the former event more appalling, the horse went over the old man and killed him on the spot ! Mr. Pinniger also was much hurt, but be recovered sufficiently to pi oceed for me dical assistance, which arrived too late, as his unfortunate brother died within a quarter of an hour after taking the poison. Through the effect of the shock, and the injuries he received, Mr. P. is at present extremely ill. As Down Ampney is in this county, and Latton in Wiltshire, though adjoining parishes, it will be necessary to have two coroners. —Chellenh ant. Chronicle. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

(From the Guernsey Star.) THE ENVAEPOT OF RICHES AND CENTRAL COMMUNICATION. ro THR EDITOR OP THE STAR. Sir,--I beg to congratulate this, my native place, and the Channel Islands, on the recent passing of the Act of Parliament for the Great Western Railroad from London to Bristol, so highly creditable to the Commercial interests and the Committee of the said Railroad. " For they that n - ,ost and greatest things embrace, Enlarge thereby their mind's capacity,- As streams enlarged, enlarge their channel's space:"—Davies. Weymouth Harbour stands in reference to this subject strikingly conspicuous, and it is capable of being extended to any depth, so that in fact all classes of vessels migl.it enter an outer or inner harbour as their draught might require. A vessel of 200 tons draws according to build froze, 12 to 13 feet 300 400 , 16 to 17i... 500 600 , 18 to 19i... 700 ~ 19 to 21 ... The staple commodities here at present are— _ Portland Stone—Pipe Clay—Coals—Timber—and Fish. Weymouth is also, as you are well aware, a packet sta tion to and from Guernsey and Jersey. There is every facility to proceed to Franc e from Guernsey and Jersey ; the South of France a direct route by this line. If a rail-road betveer : n Weymouth and Bristol, in order to connect the centr e of the British with the Bristol Channel, were estal':dshed, Weymouth and its neighbour hood would becorne the entrepOt of riches and central com munication, evidently to the great advantage of the Go vernment as v:ell as the Great WeStern Rail Road. (Vida Map of England.) In reference to the subject of .the Portland Breakwater, which I trust has been pretty clearly demonstrated, allow me to observe, for the immediate information of the Great Western Railroad Committee, &c., that the reasons for converting Portland Roads into a safe anchorage for ship ping are very cogent, and the investigation of the subject is of the greatest moment, and deserves the mosic, serious attenti-on and consideration as it regards the maintenance of the superiority of the British Channel, so essential to our !existence as a C'omniercial Nation ! And it may be ob served the numberless large stones at Portland tupersede the necessity of cones in the construction of the Portland Breakwater. Should Government erect it, a convict ship might be secured and protected within the boundary of the Salt Pond at Portland ; the object of obtaining a desirable port at that spot for future operations on an extended scale could be realized at a small expense and form a respectable harbour. The convicts under guard of a company of ma rines could be marched in a morning to the quarries, &c. ; the facility of paddle-boats, each wit a dozen such men, for towing stone barges from the shore to the Pier, or else where is obvious, and Government would have the labour and conveyance nearly for nothing. " England is, to all intents and purposes, a maritime power. Her navy has been called the right arm of the empire ; and this is eminently true, even beyond the mean ing of the metaphor, whether we regard her 'warlike or her commercial power. Experience has taught 'us the wisdom of attaching the most intense interest to 'whatever relates to the welfare of our navy." I feel assured, therefore, of the great importance of this central, and consequently commanding position in a con:- mercial point of view as an auxirxtry to the GreatlVestern Railroad, and I entertain no douht whatever that my views of it will be noticed by spirited individuals of commercial influence. I beg to thank you for your valuable co-operation, and am, Mr. Editor, respectfully your obliged, JOHN HARVEY. Weymouth, September, 19, 1i435. SIIIPPINU..-(THIS DAY.) VIIONI LLOYD'S.
