We wish "that We could re publish the whole fOr the inerrithek Of our Read» ers ; fair it is not fair that the Morning Chrottivle should monirPolize alt . the'ritlicolous fun. " Fish (the author say') can never be made other than 'a luxury in England, end the poor'eannat work upon it." Such we believe to be (tile of tst i its 'general : " But what (he adds). can be done with `the whole rate of cod, haddock, whiting, aml mackarel, which are mere entelOpes for water P"— this, we maintain, conveys a valuable piece of information to the Meeting, which is, tluit the fish contains the water, and not the water the 'fish. But what is to be done then with cod, hid dock, whiting,..and mackarel? Why, they are to be thrown, " the instant they Are CtitiOlt - , intO tanks of newly-invented stone-salt," ixtvi then exported to tickle the delicat e palates Of our friends on the Continent. Good, truly : we suspect that our friends' there tonal find - fish so cured " enve lopes" for something else besides water, and would treat them accordingly. But the way in which Monday's Meeting is to manage the daughters of our labouring poor is yet more amusing. The meeting is "to open a " small shop for the escposure and sale of PASTRY, " . CAKP.S, PIES, •etc. where the girls may be pre 's pared for service truly useful to themselves, us " well as to the community !" We are actual ly not quizzing our readers they may rely upou it that this specimen of domestic policy is verba tim wtitten down, printed, and published, In the Morning Chronicle of yesterday. Now we appre hend, that the above profound recommendation of our cotemporary of thus educating the daugh ters of the poor, besides being impossible (which may easily be got over), is at once immoral and dishonest : for look what the old poem says— The Queen or Hearts, She made some Tarts, All on a summrr's day; The Knave of Hearts tie stole the Tarts. - And with them ran away. If, therefore, the Morning Chronicle wishes to have these girls simply instructed in the art Of tart making, l►e must Wall 'them, we fear, to take the qncen, of hearts' trade over her head ; which, surely, considering time length of time that the business has been exclusively in her Majesty's family, would be most unfair : but if it is meant. that the girls should " learn the arts of stealing the tarts," axclusive of the consideration that they are quick enough at that already,—surely the fatal example of the knave of hearts, who, us we re collect, was brought to condign punishment for his, theft, should rather deter from pursuing so fa tal a course. 'rite Morning Chronicle intent to resume the snbject : in which ease, we hope to be able to de dicate sonic more space to the counteracting his fatal policy : hut, in the mean time, we would. strongly recommend to the illustrious Duke who is to preside over the meeting, and who is himself of royal blood, to pay the most punctual attention to the rights and privileges of her Majesty the Queen of hearts ; and not to sutler them to be invaded by inconsiderate and rash attempts in the art of tart-risking. THE DUKE AND i)►ICHESS OF ORLEANS' ENTER* TAINMENT 'f() TUE QUEEN. The Qutetst did not go to the Christening of the Duke and Duchess of OutAtANS infant Prin cess on Saturdpiy, we understand, owing to the etiquette of her Majesty. not being sponsor, and the ceremony being agree:Able to the fornm cif the Church of Rome. The Duke and Michas in con sequence gave another grand entertainment on iVednesday, far the purpose or the.honour of the Queen's company, at their house at Twickenham. iler Majesty accompanied by the Princess Eliza beth, attended by Lady 6nslow, arri% ed there from the Queen's Palace ) at • about hall-past lour o'clock. The dueen and Princess were received by Ole Duke and Duchess, attended by the Duke's Se cretary, and the full suite of attendants in state dresses. The arrival of the Queen of England was annouced.by a discharge of a royal salute., from tannont ttationed on au ;timid in the Thames op- ' posite, ;he house,. and a b au d on thelaWn playing " God save the King." Her Majest y was joined by her own angast Vunily, the !likes of Clareuci: and Kent; the llifchess at York and the Princet. Sophia of Gloucester. The royll and dititingnithed as semblage returned to the Drawing-Room, Where they eetnained some time. At five, dinner was an nounced, and the company were conducted front the Drawing-room through the colonnade, which . was delightfully decorated with ,growing shrubs. and flowers, which gave it mast delightful per fume. They proceeded to the room which was built by the late AdMiral Sir George Pocock for an entertaiinent which the gallant Admiral gave to Queen Anne. The dinner was served tip there in a Most splen. did and princely style. The desert consisted, of the most choice and rare fruits. Rey MAIIISTY and the Princess ELIZABETti left about a quarter past eight o'clock in a travelling. carriage fur Windsor. The QUEEN'S departure was announced by a royal salute from the cannon, similar to her arrival. The Hand attended during the evening, and played on the lawn. - The nthor branches of the Royal Family left soon after the QUERN; The statement of the dismissal of several work men from the extensive Salt Pits in Cheshire, and of their parading the country in bodies, is utterly unfounded. The statement that the Ituaban Miners bail proceeded with coals to Chester) isr equally false.—Why are inch mischievous fabrications cir culatoul ? is it to incite other places to riot and disorder it is well adapted to produce that effect.

KILRENNY, JULY 20.4 , 4 n consequence of the heavy and incessant rains on Wednesday, the Nore and the Dinan rose considernbly above their usual level, and overflowed the low lands in'many 'places. Much damage has, in consequence, been sustained, but not, we believe, to any serloutex tent, except in the case of one gentleman, whose loss 0 hay, we are concerned to hear, is to a great amount. About one o'clock on Thultalay morning, the water rose, in , the lower part 'of John -street, to the height of sixteen inches. It consequently flooded many of the houses, stables, &c. It was still higher in some of the Mills. The road by Blackmill-bridge was interrupted .during great part of Thursday, and the water bowed over several parts of the beautiful walk to the I !owevcr, notwithstmidiog the occasional showers of that day, the swell subsided gradually, and be fore evening the river was confined between its Woks. It is still much higher than usual ; but unless We have very heavy rains, no fdrther alarm is to be apprehended.--,-(Moderator,) CAMBRIDGE QUARTER SESSIONS. At the Quarter Sessions for the County of Cam. , bridge, on Micky list, /Pi Wood Ullyor, Jaina Thompson, john Stickwood, Joseph Flack, John rotdham, and inWorn Clements, were indicted for riotously • assembling at Swanem Bulbeck, in May last, and - also for assaulting William Man ning. It appeared that „about. fifty labouring men, amongst whom Were the prisoners, as. Semi?led together for the pupae of demand ing an increase of wages, and that they endea voured to pet suede Manning to accompany them; on his refusal, they assaulted him, and treated him. very ill: The evidence of the riotous conduct of the prisoners was not, sufficient for convle. tion, but they were all found guilty of the assault, and the three former sentenced to be imprisoned 6 months, and the latter three months in the county gaol.
