The Duke and Duchess of Bedford have arriv:::'. in Belgrave-square, from Woburn Abbey. Prince Esterhazy is still at the Imperial Court at roorr .' housc , Vienna, and no time is mentioned for h i s return to resume ' his diplomatic functions here.

Mr. Rothschild, the eldest son of the wealthy Capi talist, was thrown from his horse -whilst following the King's stag - hounds last week, near Aylesbury ; his face was much disfigured, and he received a severe contusion, but no bones were broken.. The veteran Lord Lyndoch has been visiting at Holkham, and we are happy to understand, that notwith standing his advanced age (we believe the venerable Gene ral to be in his 92d or 93d year), lie enjoys the diversion of shooting, and sees well enough to kill a hare as she runs by him from the coverts. Perhaps this is the most extra ordinary instance of such power at such years to be found in the United Kingdom.

RILIAGE - IN HIGH LIFE.—The Hon. John Duncan Bligh (brother of the late Lord Darnley), Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to his Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway, is about to be united to the lovely and accomplished daughter of Thomas Gisborne, Esq., M.P. for North Derbyshire. • Sir C. S. Hunter has announced iris intention of resigning the Ablermanic gown of BasSishaw Ward. - Mr. Tegg, of Cheapsi de, the publisher, has announced hiniself as a candidate for the vacancy. Sir Claudius Hunter re move to the sinecure ward of Bridge Without, Southwark, which is at present vacant also by resignation. By the Earl of Dalhousie, Captain , Neil of the Robertson. of Greenock, received at Quebec rather an ex traordinary and unexpected document, which had been in closed in a bottle on the 12th of August, 1833, and thrown overboard when about 400 miles from Greenock on the voyage to Quebec, and was picked up at Scourie, o 1 e wes t coast of Sutherland , on the 12th of November, 1833,. and had been kept as' a curiosity by the finder, whose letter is dated the .2th of August, 1835. It contains the names of the - following cabin passengers :—" Mrs. David, Mrs. Hervey, Miss Torrance, Hiss Hervey, Captain Neill, Mr. Colville, Mr, Thomson, Mr. David, Mr. Ralstone, Mr. Grahame, Mr. Cameron, and a little baby."—Scotch paper. The Jewess has drawn more money than any at traction at Drury-lane Theatre since the memorable debut of Mr. Kean 25 years ago. BRA HAM'S NEW TREAT RE.—The splendid ceil ing and front decorations of the boxes, painted and embel lished with a profusion of tasteful ornaments' by Messrs. Crace and Son, of Wie-more-street, in the florid style of Louis Quatorze, were finished on Saturday. The interior will resemble the theatre in the palace of Versa'illes, with a fess prOdigality of golden columns. The inside of the boxes will be lined with crimson silk. The workmen and artists are expected to complete the entire Theatre by Wed 'nesclay, and the houses and the front entrance by the end of the week. Although the building proceeded with un common rapidity, the walls are all of a massive thickness, and calculated to endure " all time." Young Mathews will appear, for the first time, at the Olympic Theatre next Monday, in a little drama written by himself. On the same evening he will perform in a two act Farce, by Mr. L. Retie, in which Liston will personate an old ,Coachman, and previously speak an Address, for the purpose of introducing on the stage the son of his old friend. The character assigned to young Mathews, by himself in the first drama, is intended to represent a Gen tleman, as usually pourtrayed in modern comedies, and the second character in Rede's farce, a low comedian, under the denomination of a Tiger to a Gentleman's cab. The report that Mathews assumes the profeSsion of an actor, contrary to the wishes •of his late father, is untrue. He was educated for an architect, and, to improve his studies, made a tour in Italy ; and only during that period his father endeavoured to dissuade him from pursuing the stage ; but • in the extreme ycuth of Charles Mathews, and afterwards, when his father discoVered that nothing was to be got by ar chitecture, lie was most anxious to encourage hiS son's ori ginal propensity. The infant son of the Rev. T. S. Stewart, of Be verley, was last week smothered in bed by the carelessness of the nurse who slept with it. PerearineTwsnley, Esq., of Burnley, has announced his intention of offering himself for North Lancashire, in opposition to Mr. Wilson Patten, the present Tory Mem ber.

The return on the Leicester municipal lists con tains the names of only 1,939 burgesses ; there are more than 600 notes of objection, and 300 claims. More than 70 Tories arc objected to, on account of having Sir - Thomas White's loans ; the words of the ninth clause are ." no . per-, son shall be so enrolled who within twelve calendar months next before the last day of August shall have received paro chial relief, or other aims, on any pension, or charitable al lowance,..from any fund entrusted to the charitable trustees of such bOrough."—Nottingham Review. M U NICIPAL ELECTORS.—An able address to the Municipal Electors, published by a provincial Contempo rary, contains some well-ti Med and exceedingly judicious.• remarks, directed to the praiseworthy purpose by securing a wise and efficient exercise of those important and - newly acquired rights which the Municipal Corporations' Reform Bill, notwithstanding the mischievous mutilations by the Lords—itivests. every elector, in every • corporate town throughout the country. The first election is of infinitely greater importance than any subsequent one can possibly be. "In the first election," says the Lincoln Gazette ad dressing the electors in the first election, " you will have to choose the whole body of the councillors, and they whom you choose will have to choose the whole body of the alder men. You are not again to be called upon to choose more than one third of the number you are now called upon to choose. The. leaven you 'now introduce will leaven the whole lump for many a year. You will never again have an opportunity, if you make a mistake now, of getting rid of more than a fou rth of the whole governing body. - . When there are 18 councillors, six aldermen will be fastened' open you of the political and party complexion of the majority of those 18. If ten he adverse to'popular rights, they will strengthen themselves by adding six more to their number, making 16 .- against eight—n fearful majority, which you cannot hope to destroy at the next election, when you will only have the power of electing six new ones. The mis chievousness of this " amendment" of the Lords must now particularly strike you. All the present property, the means and the amount of local taxation, changes in the sys tem of local governMent, additions' to or substruction from the facilities of trade and commerce in each borough, will be in their hands. Whatever alterations are likely to be made, will probably be determined upon during the first year, and commenced. In after years if those alterations be injudicious, they cannot be given up without great sacri fices. This first election, therefore, in every light in which it is viewed, will be the most important of all. MANCHESTER AND LONDON COACHES.—It is a fact not generally koown, that the number of horses em ployed to work a• coach from London to Manchester is nearly two hundred ; and that on an average these horses annually consume the produce of 700 acres of land. A contemporary, after noticing this fact, asks " should railways at some future period, supersede stage coaches entirely, what is to become of this produce ? " Now in the first railway " experiment" on a large scale, as it might then be called, the Liverpool and Manchester railway, much out cry was made as to the loss it would cause, not only to the coach and horse proprietors, but to the agriculturist, as it was calculated that there would be no more work for four teen coaches on that line of road, requiring each for one journey twelve horses, and that consequently the produce of as many acres of land as these horses bad consumed would have no c onsumers. What is the fact ? That the horses now required in connexion with the railway, for drawing omnibuses, lorries, waggons, carts, &c., actually exceed the number previously employed to horse all the coaches be tween Liverpool and Manchester,—Manchester Guardian. On Monday evening last, about six o'clock, a Corn Rick was discovered to be on fire, in the Rick Yard of Mi. 'John- Brown, of Piddington. Nothing has yet transpired to fix suspicion on any individual.--IV Ord Journal. FIRE AT lIATPIELD HOUSE. • . . DEATH OF THE MARCHIONESS OF SALISBURY.: It is with feelings'of extreme regret that we .have to an nounce• the melancholy death, of the Dowager 'Marchioness of Salisbury, ,which took place at dlatfield House on Friday evening. Her Lady Ship was, left writing in her dressing at five o'clock byler' maid, who then lighted the carmtes upon her table, and Went •down stairs to her tea in housekeeper's room. About half an hour afterwards a maid perceived a thick smoke on the staircase of the crest wing of the house, • and gave,the alarm of fire. Lord Salisbury instantly rushed to his mother's room,. but when: he reached the door the, smoke was stifling, and the timbers and ceiling were already burning, which rendered it utterly impossible to enter. Ladders*ere sent for, in hopes of ex tricating her by the windows, but before they could he. pro cured the flames burst through .with such violence that all hopes of rescuing her were, at an end. It is - sup Posed that the unfortunate lady must have set fire to her dress, and no other apartment in that wing of the house being inhabited, the dreadful catastrophe must have happened before any, one was aware of it, as the fire had gained such head when the alarm was first given as to baffle all attempts to get it under. Engines were brought as rapidly as possible from Barnett, St. Alban's, Hertford, and London. At one time the appearance was terrific, and there was great reason Io fear that-the whole of this ancient. edifice would-have Olen . a sacrifice to the flames. By almost incredible exertioni, however, on the part of the assistants , a ided by a provi denial change in the wind, the fire was finally subdued, with the destruction of the west wing of the mansion only. The library, with the valuable books and manuscripts, the pictures, and many of the articles which were of value from their antiquity, and the loss of which would consequently have been irreparable, have been preserved. The lamented lady whose death we have recorded, and who is so deeply deplored by all who knew her,, was the eldest daughter of Wills Hill, Earl of Hillsborough, and sister to the late Marquis of Downshire and to the Countess Talbot (mother to the present Earl). She was born Au- grist 16, 1751, and married, Deceinher 2, 1773, James, first Marquis of Salisbury. She has left issue, the present Marquis, Lady Cowley, and the Marchioness of Westmeath. FURTHER PARTICULARS. In our paper of Saturday we informed our readers, that a report had reached town that a destructive fire had broken out early on Friday evening, at Hatfield House, the princely mansion of the Marquis of Salisbury. We re gret to state, that this report has proved only too, true, and thatin the fire which took place the life of the Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury was unfortunately lost. From the information which we *collected yesterday on the spot, we ascertained that, in pursuance of her usual custom of passing, the Christmas with her son, the Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury had, on Thursday last, come down to 'Hat field-house, and taken possession of the apartments which she had occupied in the West wing of the mansion ever since the death of her husband, the late Marquis. These apartments were on the first and second story of the build ing, and have formed her Ladyship's temporary summer and winter residence for some years past. : We were also informed, that though her Ladyship was labouring' under some of those infirmities which are the concomi tants even of a green old age, she was still hale and vigorous, considering her advanced period of life, and that on her present visit to the scene of her early .plea sures she exhibited a flow of spirits which surprised even those who were best acquainted with her usual cheerful ness. It appears that on the afternoon of Friday last, she retired a short time before dinner to her dressing-room, to write a few letters. At 5 o'clock her maid entered her apartment and found her writing by the light of two can dles. Her ladyship complained of the dimness of the light, and requested her maid to bring to her her own bed-candle, alleging that she always saw better by it than by anything else. The'bed-candle was brought according to her orders, and the maid left her Ladyship, who wore a very lofty head-dress, writing by these three tapers. It is supposed that as she was stooping over her paper ber head-dress must have caught fire, and that before she was aware of it she - was enveloped in flames. But on this point all must . be conjecture, as nobody saw her alive aftar her maid left her to take her tea in the housekeeper's ram. It is further supposed that, peralized by terror, on seeing herself in flames, she was unable to resort to the bell or to give that alarm which must, have called some of her attendants to her assistance. About half-past 5 o'clock some fear was felt by the female servants of the house in consequence of the vast volumes of smoke which pervaded it, and of the strong smell of burning which assailed the nostrils in every corner of it. One of the housemaids, who perceived a dense pillar of smoke hovering over the staircase of the left wing, was the first to raise •the cry of fire. According to one of the stories which we have heard, her Ladyship's footman, and according to another, her son's confec tionary-man, was the first who, suspecting that the fire might be in her Ladyship's room, made an attempt to enter it. The attempt was unsuccessful. The alarm, was then communicated to the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury: Both these noble personage exerted them selves to the utmost to rescue their venerable relative from her horrible fate, but in vain. Lord Salisbury attempted to force his way into his mother's dressing-room through a door, which opened into it out of a sitting apartment, but it was locked ; and the implements to force it not being at hand, his Lordship endeavoured to reach another door, which opened into it from the domestic offices belonging to that wing of his mansion. He succeeded in reaching that door, but on opening it, found it so enveloped in flame and smoke as to .render it impossible for any person to enter it and live. The floor and ceiling of the room were then blazing together, and with such terrific violence as to ren der all hopes of rescuing her Ladyship through the win dows utterly desperate. Every person with whom we con versed yesterday, expressed their admiration of the zeal ous but ineffectual efforts made by Lord Salisbury to rescue his mother from the imminent danger _by which she was surrounded ; and one account stated that his Lordship' was only prevented by main force from endangering his own life, in a desperate attempt to secure that of his mo ther. As soon as it was found that all efforts to save the Dowager Marchioness were unavailing, the fire-bell was rung, and its dull and sullen clang, and the rising flames, soon announced to the neighbourhood the serious peril by which this magnificent specimen of our domestic architecture, in the reign of Elizabeth and James the First, was environed. A crowd soon assembled on the lawn, eager to give every assistance in their power to stop the ravages of the conflagration. Engines shortly afterwards arrived from Barnet, St. Alban's, and Hertford ; and be fore the fire was extinguished the engine of the County Fire-office had arrived from London. • In spite of the alacrity with which all the spectators endeavoured to make themselves useful, some confusion prevailed amtnig them at first, owing to the want of some competent person to direct their exertions, and to turn their labour to the best account. This evil was soon remedied by the practical good sense which is always found in an assembly of Englishmen. The flames, however, continued to rage fast and furious, and the prospect of checking them aps peared very remote, owing to the deficient supply of water, which was experienced for some time.. A pond in the gardens was soon exhausted, and as the water had then to be brought from the more distant lake, which fills the hollow in front of the north side of the mansion, it often happened that, when the- fury of the fire was hottest, there was for some minutes no means at hand to allay it. At one time it appeared as if nothing could save this princely mansion from entire destruction. .The part of the west wing which looks down the noble avenue of trees by which Hatfield-house is approached from the south was speedily gutted by the fire. The roof fell in with a tre mendous crash, and by the fall of the partition between the oriel windows on the first and second floors, an uninter rupted opening to the air was given to the flames, • whieh were then crackling fiercely within that part of the building. The appearance of the fire at that moment was peculiarly terrific. In its progress it reached the chapel ; but the un remitting exertions of the firemen prevented its ravages from being very destructive in that quarter. The pews are injured, but that, comparatively speaking, is a trifling loss: The window of stained glass, which has attracted so much admiration, has also escaped without much damage. It is divided into 12 compartments ; of these only one has been destroyed. During one period of the conflagration the situation of the men employed in saving the chapel seemed very. dangerous. Their object was to saturate the roof and ceiling with water, so as to prevent them from catching fire: In accomplishing it some of the ceiling was knocked down by the violence with which the water impinged upon it, and on its falling, the chinks between the timbers enabled those who were below to see that the rooms above the diaper and the furniture in them were enveloped in a general blaze. The Marquis of Salisbury was the first to perceive the danger impending over the honest countrymen who were actively engaged in endeavouring to save his property ; and immediately on perceiving it insisted that they should leave the s pot, as he would rather see the whole building reduced to ashes than hear of one of them suffering injury in their struggles to save it. The men for whom the ,Noble Marquis expressed this provident care displayed,in their turn, equal gallantry. They refused to depart, and said that they would stand there as long as they could, in opposition to the flames. To this resolution they adhered,,with great firmness, especially as they were inFortned by some builders that the rafters supporting the roof, were sound and s trong, that the flames in the upper apartments st uuld ascend and not descend, and that, in case of at: worst, there w 0 som e shelter for them under an open stack of cliiMnies, near which they were working their engines. Their coarage and perseverance were crowned with iucceas, The fire was stayed partly by their unremitting efforts, and partly by the emptying into the chapel of a reservoir of water twelve feet long and three feet deep, situate upon the roof tiffir pitrt - of the- mansion. When things were- at _the worst,-cit-ayasapprehended-that the-chapel,mustperish, and the object of. the parties working the engines then, was to prevent the flames from spreading - farther, - after they had exhausted their rage upon the sacred edifice. The chapel is not far distant from the library. They are situate on different sides 'of. a gallery, and each has communication with it by means of a door. To check the progress of the devouring clement, preparations were made to stop up these doors with solid masenry At the same time the printed books, and • manuscript papers belonging to the Cecil family, and illustrating its history and that of the na tion at large, were removed from the library into the grand drawing-room from which, as Well as 'from -the other ban queting apartments; the valuable furniture • had been transferred, first to the lawn in front of the mansion, and afterwards t.O ; places of greater security in the town of Hat field. Everything as also in readiness to take the window frames out of the draWing4oom, in order that the library might be summarily ejected on to the egrass, in case the wind, which blew in that direction, carried the flames into the interior of the mansion. Fortunately these precautions became unnecessary. About eleven o'clock the conflagra tion was got under ;• and by two o'clock on Saturday morn ing the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, who had signa lized themselves by their quiet but energetic endeavours to save this noble pile, had the satisfaction of knowing that the Work of destruction had not extended beyond the least valuable part of it, and that the library, the pictures, and the Cecil papers were all uninjured, They had also the satisfaction of learning , the next day, that though much valuable property had been exposed upon the lawn during the night, no part of it had been lost, stolen, or damaged— a fact which speaks volumes in praise of the honesty and kindly feeling of the peasantry in the -vicinity. It is only fair,•however, to mention, that towards the latter part of the evening, when the ground was occupied by the St. Alban's . yeomanry, under the command of Lord Grimston and his brother, a parcel of ,ill -looking strangers, supposed to be thieves from London, who had heard of fire, came upon the preinisei. They decaMped, however, very speedily upon discovering the careful vigilance with which their motions and Lord .Salisbury's property were watched by his tenants and neighbours. It is singular that after so extensive a fire no one, with the •, •-exception of' the Dowager 'Marchioness of Salisbury, whose body • has not yet been dug out of the ruins, has received the slightest scratch or contusion. To avoid the possibility of accident from the fall of the damaged walls, orders were issued on Saturday by : the Marquis of Salis bury thaf nobody should have entrance into the grounds without a ticket - signed by himself. This has produced a double advantage,--it has checked the inquiries of idle Curiosity, and has left the firemen at liberty to give their undivided attention to the still smouldering ruins. About three o'clock on Saturday afternoon some of the timber again ignited, but was soon extinguished by the play of the engines. In the course of yesterday afternoon the ruins were still smoking, and although the rain fell almost incessantly, it. was , found necessary to deluge them occa sionally with water. We may here add that Hatfield-house and the furniture it contained are insured in the Sun Fire office to a reasonable value. The appearance of - the ruins is at the present moment frightful. They present a mere shell of lofty walls, con nected together by not more than two or three charred and blackened beams. _ They seem tottering to their fall, and from their cracked and dilapidated condition must be taken down before the west wing can be rebuilt. There appear to be old bricks enough in the ruins to case the outside of any new . erection on the foundation of the old one ; and this is a point of some importance, as it will enable the Noble Marquis, in rebuilding his Palace, to preserve that air of antiquity about it, which forms at present one of its chief charms and ornaments. The Hertfordshire yeomanry continued during yesterday to post sentinels all round Hatfield-house, but this, we un dergand, is more out of respect to the Noble Marquis than from any idea that their services are wanted. MoSt of the furniture,. We have already stated, has' been ' removed from Hatfield-house to different places in the neighbourhood. Some of it is at the Salisbury Arms Inn. We saw there a noble picture of Queen . Elizabeth taken from the life by Znechero. It is considered, as a portrait, extremely worth notice, not'only because it is the handsomest known to exist of her, but also as it points out her turn:to-allegory and odd devices. Pennant, in his description of Hatfield-house, gives this account of it—" Her gown is close-bodied ; on her head is a coronet and thick egret, and a vast distended. gauze veil ; her face is young ; her hair is-yellow, falling in twolono . tresses ; on her neck. a pearl necklace ; on her arms" bracelets. The lining of her robe is worked with eyes and ears, and on her sleeve a serpent is embroidered with pearls and rubies, holding a great ruby in its mouth ; in one hand is a rainbow with the flattering motto Non sine- sole Iris. " • We were infOrmed that if this lamentable fire, with its still more lamentable catastrophe—the .destruction of the Dowager Marchioness of Salisbnry, had -not taken place on Friday ertning. a grand _banquet would have been held there on Saturday. Among the guests invited was Lord Strang,ford, who did not hear'of the calamity which had befallen his noble friends at Hatfield until he reached the Green Man at Barnet Saturday afternoon, on his road from town, to share in their festivities. On learning it, he pro ceeded to pay a visit of condolence to his afflicted friends, but returned the same evening to his residence in London. As there are many historical associations of deep inter rest.connected with Hatfield house, we make no apology for extracting the following account of it from Pennant's Journey fiviii Chester to Londoit.:-- " The small town of Hatfield is prettily seated on a gen , tle ascent. Its Saxon name was Haethfield, from its situ , ation on a heath. The important synod held during the hcptarchy, at the instance of Theodore, consecrated Arch bishop of Canterbury, in 668, in which the most interesting tenets of Christianity were declared and confirmed #, is generally supposed to have been held at a place of that name in Yorkshire. Hatfield was part of the revenues a the Saxon prig ;es till it was bestowed by Edgar on the mo nastery of Ely. At the time of the conquest it was found to be in the possessiop of that great house, in which it con tinued till the abbey was converted into a bishopric, in the reign of Henry I. It then became one of the residences of • the prelates ; for which they had not fewer than ten palaces belonging to the seat, and from that circumstance was called Bishop's Hatfield, to distinguish it from other places of the same name. • It probably fell into decay during, the long wars between the Houses of York and Lan caster ; for I find that it was rebuilt and ornamented by Bishop Moncton, in the reign of Henry VIII. Among the shameful alienations made from the bi shopric- of Ely by Queen Elizabeth (by virtue of the imprudent statute which gave. her the power of exchanges :over all) must be included the manor of Hatfield. The .pa lace had at times been an occasional royal residence, not vithsttinding it was the property of the church. William, the second son of Edward lll.,was borne here in 1335, and Was called from that circumstance, William of Hatfield. Queen Eliiabeth resided here many years before she came to the crown, and on the death of her predecessor removed from hence, on the 23d of November ; to take possession of the throne. This place did not continue long a part of the royal demesnes. .James 1., in the sth year of his reign, ex changed it for Thcobald's with his minister, Sir Robert Ce cil, afterwards Earl of Salisbury, who built on the site of the palace the magnificent house now standing, and inclosed two parks, one for red, the other for fidlow deer. At the bottom• of the first was a vineyard, in being when Charles I. was conveyed there a prisoner to the army. " The building is of brick, and of vast extent, in the form of a half H. In the centre is an extensive portico of nine Arches. Over the middlemost rises a lofty tower, on the front of which is the date 16-11, and three ranges of columns of the• Tuscan, Doric, and Composite orders. Be tween the second are the arms of the family in stone: " In the chapel is a small ancient organ ; a fine window of stained glass, in 12 compartthents ; and a gallery, on the. front of Which were painted the 12 Apostles." Pennant then proceeds to give a catalogue of the valuable paintings which adorns the walls. of its different apartments.

GERMAN AND BRUSSELS PAPERS. PATRAS, OCT. 29.—We have still to suffer from the excesses of the banditti in. the interior of the Peloponnesus and the unfavourable reports which are industriously published by the enemies of tha Government, increase the danger, and perhaps cause greater alarm than is necessary. The unfavourable ac counts from the interior of continental Greece likewise con tinue; and it seems that General Warnikiolis, who commands about 500 Pal&ari against the Klephts, combats with very du bious success, and has even been already driven by them from more than one position. Why Gorden, who, as CoMmander in-Chief, marched against them with 1,200 men, haS either retired or been dismissed from his command, is the subject of the most strange reports ; and it is universally disapproved that he is succeeded by General Pisa, a man who is detested for having been one of the party of Capodistrias. This is tL ie third Commander-in-Chief of these important provines in seven months. FRONTIERS OF &AVIA, Nov. 9. —Travellers front Illacedonia say the plague still continues in Eieless (in Turkish Koprilik), and that the communication with that city is intercepted, so that they bad to go a long way about. It was hoped that these strict measures would soon put a stop to the evil. The fifteen persons convicted of coining in Seres and Meleniko have been sent to Constantinople. One died on the road. Accounts from Kragujewatz say that Prince Milosch, who returns from Constantinople by land and by way of Adrianople, was expected in a few days. It is said that his family meant to go to Alspinatz, on the frontier, to meet him, and the people were preparing to receive him with great rejoicings, while some of the persons most implicated in the agitation in favour of the Constitution were thinking di avoiding the Prince's presence. A secretary, who on the publication of the Consti tution had an appointment in the finance department, has been on this account for some days at the lazaretto at Semlin. M. Davidowich, oho was generally expected to retire after the remarkable article in the Serviun Journal, will remain in the service of the State.

We never had more reason to think our prospects favourable," &c. At the time these accounts came away the National Bank was already constituted, and it was hoped that it would soon commence operations. The shares were to be immediately offered for sale.

T \ he realiting of this hope would be very important for the countries on the banks of the Maine. The Rhine is the natural channel for the exportation of the produce of those fertile countries.
