IT `1111.: PRINCE OF WALES AND DUKE OF CORNWALL. SUN OFFICE, Quarter past Three. The following interesting intelligence reached us in about ten minutes after the joyful event , which we immediately published in a second edition of The Morning Sun, and despatched papers with the welcome news to every part of the country. We rejoice to learn that her Majesty and his Royal Highness, up to the hour at which we write, are as well\ U -the most loyal and affect ionate sub jects of our be loved Queen can wish them. The Park were fired the Tower guns,gunS, and also a little after two o'clock, a striking proof that her MAJESTY goes on favourably, and that no fear was entertained of disturbing her rest by this mode of announcing to the metropolis the birth of a Prince. At an early hour this morning. her MAJESTY was taken suddenly ill, and it was therefore con sidered advisable to send summonses to the Ca binet Ministers and other Great Officers of State. Sir ROBERT PEEL arrived at the Palace as early as S o'clock. The LORD CIIA NCELLOR, the Archbishop of CANTERBURY and the Bishop of LONDON arrived about ten. The Duke of WEL- LINOTON, the Earl of ABERDEEN, and other Ministers arrived about half-past ten. At ten minutes to eleven her MAJESTY was safely delivered of a Prince and Heir to the Throne. We understand that her MAJESTY IS going on extremely well. Information of this important and interesting event was immediately forwarded to the LORD MAYOR and to the various official Departments. Most of the Ministers left the Palace shortly after eleven o'clock; but Lord Lyndhurst and Sir Robert Peel did not take their departure till twenty minutes before twelve. Sir Robert Peel and the Earl of Aberdeen left together in the carriage of b 1 latter. D r . L ococ k an d Si r James Clarke slepk at the Palace last night. Shortly before A elve o'cl oc k t h e D u k e o f T Cambridge and l i i: r ce George of Cambridge arrived at the Palace on foot, and stopped there till nearly one o'clock. Prince'Ernest of Hesse Philippsthal also called at the Palace. The Duchess of Kent, who had been _in constant at tendance on her Majesty since the commence ment of her illness (seven o'clock this morning), left the Palace in- one of the Royal carriages shortly before one o'clock. Long before this hour crowds of persons had - collected on the mall in front of the Palace, anxious to obtain correct information of this most important event. From our inquiries at the Palace we understand that her Majesty is going on very well. Shortly after two o'clock the Park and Tower guns were fired, and the bells of the different churches of the Metropolis rung a merry peal for the purpose of celebrating the auspicious event. What with the birth of a Prince, and the Lord Mayor's Show, the day appears a complete holiday; and her Majesty's loyal subjects seem determined to make it so. (FROM OUR COURT NEWSMAN.) BUCKINGHAM PALACE, Nov. 9, 1841. This day, at ten minutes to eleven o'clock, the Queen was safely delivered of a Prince. There were present on the occasion, as at the . birth of the Princess Royal, in her Majesty's room, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, Dr. Locock, and Mrs. Lilley, the monthly nurse. In the adjoining apartments, besides the other medi cal attendants (Sir James Clark, Dr. Ferguson, and Mr. Blagden), were her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, the Lady in Waiting , on the Queen, and the following Officers of State and Lords of the Privy Council :—The Lord Steward, the Lord Chamberlain, the Master of the Horse, the Duke of Wellington, the Lord Chancellor, the Bishop of London, Sir Robert Peel, Earl of Aberdeen, Duke of Buckingham, Sir James Graham, and the Marquis of Exeter (Groom of the Stole to his Royal Highness Prince Albert)." On the arrival of the " illustrious stranger" the following historical account of the " state and service" which await his Royal Highness will be acceptable to our readers : The Prince of Wales is the eldest son of Eng land. He is born Duke of Cornwall ; and im mediately entitled to all the rights, revenues, &c., belonging thereto, as being deemed in law at full age on his birth-day. His re venues, as Duke of Cornwall, have been com puted at 14,0001. per annum. The revenues of the principality were estimated, three hundred and fifty years ago, at 4,6801. per annum. This re venue is considerable now compared with what appertained to it at the time of its first institu tion, for in the time of King Edward 111. the total revenue of the principality, with the Duchy of Cornwall and the Earldom of Chester, was 9,982/..125. 74 d. " Prince of Wales" and " Earl of Chester' , are titles which are bestowed upon the King's son in after years, being thus widely unlike the title of " Duke of Cornwall," with which he is born. On his creation as Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester, the investiture is performed by imposition of a cap of state, and a coronet, a verge of gold, and a ring. He holds the Princi pality by patent granted him and his heirs by the Kings of England. Till the time of the creation of this title, the eldest son of England was called Lord Prince. While Normandy remained to the King of England, the eldest son was always styled Duke of Normandy ; since the Union his title is Magna. Britannia Princeps. One great reason for the creation of Princes of Wales appears to have been, because the Princes, getting experience by governing their own estates, as well in time of war as in peace, might be the fitter to govern the greater king dom upon the decease of their fathers. This is very evident from the answer King Henry 111. gave to Prince Edward, his son, when he be sought his father's help and assistance against Llewellyn the last Welsh Prince. The King made answer—" Quid ad me ? Terra tua est ex dono meo, excita vires primitivas, fames excita Juveniles, ut de ccetero timeant ininaicil" From what source the title of Prince of Wales was first transferred to the sons and heirs appa rent of England is well known, but when it be gan in them not so clearly. The Princes of Wales—of North Wales especially—being in the earlier times Welshmen, held the country under the Kings of England, and their usual title under this seignorage, was Princeps Wa and Dominus Snowdonia. Others place the beginning of this title !in Ethsard, son and heir to Edward 1., from 'the commonly accredited story of the King's senc'ting for Queen Eleanor, who was then with child, to be delivered at Carnarvon Castle. After she was delivered, he summoned around him the re fractory chiefs of Wales, and asked them if he brought them a Prince who was most free from all kind of blemish upon his honour, aria could not speak one word of English, whether they would accept him as Prince. Their answer was in the affirmative. The baby Prince was pro duced, and manhood gave him the spars, plumes, and arms of a veritable Prince of Wales. The words of the original Charter referring to the creation, investiture by symbol, arid the territo ries appurtenant to the title, runs,:— " De consilio et concensu Prrehtorum, Comi biro, Baronum, et Communitattun Regni nostri Anglhn, in generali Parliamento nostro apud. Westmonasterium convocato ipsum Edwardian Principem Wallite fecimus et creavimus et dic tum Principatum sibi dedimus et concessimus et per cartam nostram confirmavimus ac ipsum de dicto Principatu, per Sertum in capite, et annu lum in digito aureum, ac Virgam argenteam in vestivimus juxta morem, habendum et tenendum de nobis sibi et hteredibus suis Regibus Anglire in perpetuum, cum omnibus Dominiis et terris nostris Northwalli, Westwallite, Southwallice, ac Dominio Castro, Villa et Comitatu de Caer narvan," Scc. &C. &C. of Wale s are the crest of dien" (I The arms of the Prince Royal arms, with the addition , o , f lo.h a ostr i c h feathers, and the motto serve), said to have been adopted by the Black Prince, from a - Prince of Bohemia, w h om he slew at Cressy. But all hands are not agreed upon this account, and a very considerable party in the antiquarian world say that the motto arose upon Edward the First's presenting his infant son to the Welsh, as related above, who have agreed to accept a native Prince from him, with the words " Eich dyn" (This is your man). The Prince of Wales is reputed in law the same person with the King; to imagine his death, or to violate his wife, and also the Prin cess Royal, or eldest daughter of the King, is high treason by stat. 25 Edw. 111., as much as to conspire the death of the King, or violate the hastity of the Queen 5 the reason of which is that the Prince of \Vales is next in succession to the Crown, and to violate his wife might taint the blood royal with bastardy. On failure of male issue, the eldest daughter of the King is Heiress Presumptive to the Crown, and therefore more respected by the laws than any of her younger sisters, insomuch that upon this, united with other (feodal) principles while our military tenures were in force, the King might levy an aid for marrying his eldest daughter, and her only. Her Majesty is the first Queen Regnant who has given birth to a Prince of Wales The Morning Post will find another proof in an article Which we insert from the Leeds Times, that the sentiments which it desired, of course from an upright love of truth and 'free discus sion, to have visited with punishment, are neces sarily becoming prevalent in the manufac turing districts. It is impossible that men should suffer poverty, starvation, and death from a Legislature, without inquiring into its right to inflict them, and without coming to the* conclusion that its authority, so long as it is thus exercised, ought to be spurned. The meanest thing alive resists annihilation to the -utmost of its power, and shall " man, high-minded man," suffer himself to be trampled out of existence on the plea that for him to submit to starvation now may perchance benefit the posterity of those who doom him to a painful and lingering dettar)?:,:We have repeatedly informed the aris tocracy, and informed the clergy, that by their leigeverance in maintaining a hideously unjust law for their own selfish purposes, they are ex posing to extreme peril the-whole fabric of politi cal socikty. No philosophical inquirer, whose writings we are acquainted with—no searcher after the truth of political systems—has come to the conclusion that the present form of our Government is in dispensible to the human welfare. Society, which has grown, increased, and flourished, un der every form of Government, is, in all its mul tiplied and essential relations, independent of political contrivances. They have been fastened on it, in many cases, from vile ainbitiOn, and from no view to promote the public good. Ao , cordingly patient investigation, in modern times, has led, in general, to conclusions unfavourable to most of our present institutions. The• whole stream of modern political science and political experience runs against them. None of them have stood the test of investigation, and are theoretically approved of. When such is the tendency of opinion, it is a fatal course in our aristocracy to hazard the violent disruption of an old rand no longer honoured system, by persisting in a great wrong. Political contrivances of all have passed away, and it is no disparagerithnt to the English Constitution to suppose that it will pass away too. It has already undergone; most ex tensive changes without much violence, but im mense and almost unheard of mischief will ensue if injustice be persevered in, so the the people shall have no alternative but ruin or revolution. Colonels, men decorated with stars and ribands, • belonging to a class for which Governments scarcely think they can do too much, and who look down with contempt on spinners and weavers. • , From Spain also, within a month, we have had news of a formidable rebellion planned by a whole army of Generals—O'DoNNEu. in.Pampe luna, LEON at Madrid, NARVAEZ in the South, and begun with a cruel and bloody attack on the Palace of an infant Queen. The outrages which these much-honoured and highly-rewarded men committed and instigated, were, it is true, all professional but they were such as, we are happy to say, have not been conceived, much less attempted, by the suffering artisans of England. Besides the article we have copied from the Leeds Times, we have to state thutt at the meet ing held at Manchester on this day week, a Comsnittee was appointed to organise the means of carrying into execution this resolution : That with a view to its being shown, peaceably and orderly, that there is little hope of a repeal , of the Corn' and Provision-laws unless the people shew their deter mination not to endure them, and on the p.rinciple that taxation without representAtion is unconstitutional and unjust, it is the opinion of this meeting that the plan of the National Daily Bread Society should be put into active operation in Manchester forthwith, so titat by the time of the deputations (of working men) a s.sembling, the results may be seen, and they, on their re turn may spread it in their respective localities, and that this as sembly will strenuously exert themselves in its promul gation. - - - Our readers are aware that the National Daily Bread Society is founded on the principle of col lecting money to evade the Corn-laws, and - is now a numerous body. Thus, practically, the peopi e are resolving not to obey the law, while they are guilty of no acts of violence in evading or resist ing it. While writers have shrunk from discus::- ing the principle of obedience, the multitude have in their hearts felt that they had trespassed on its extreme bounds, and had reached a point where resistance becomes a virtue. As a confirmation of this, we may add that we have received several communications convincing us that opinions such as we have stated are daily extending in the manufacturing districts. One letter, which came yesterday from Greenock, says,—" I also hail with pleasure those vigorous remarks of your's, advocating the undoubted right of the people to resist unjust and atrocious laws whenever it is in their power." Our Corre spondent follows out his principle with an abun dance of zeal, and recommends the manufac turing u.nd trading classes to cease their exer tions, and throw the toiling millions exclusively on the land for subsistence. Strange, but serious and etirnest thoughts are thus forced into the mind:; of the multitude, by being obliged to t oil " incessantly, without being able to procure food for themselves and their chl'ulren," while those• who govern the commu niiy, chiefly for their sake, wallow in sloth and luxury. That such things should be suffered to r;ontinue, when every man in the country knows as well nearly what is done, and what is its bear ings, as the Prime Minister himself, is, we con ceive, absolutely impossible. The alternative, therefore, which is offered to the landowners is, to change the law in due course by Parliament, or see it and the authority of Parliament de stroyed by general resistance. France, too, thoroughly imbued with the mill tart'* spirit, and neither a manufacturing nor a commercial country; has of late been con , picuous for attacks on the K INC's life, for enieu tes, for un ruly conduct, and for gross outrages. Contrast ing the proceedings in other countries with the behaviour of our own manufacturing population under their most unmerited sufferings, it shines out most favourably, and should induce every Government which wishes for peace and security to cultivate commerce and manufactures rather than encourage the military spirit and re•cvard military virtues. In theory it has long been known that commerce and manu factures are as favourable to the internal tran quillity of nations as they are to preserving peace between them ; and this practical illustration of the theory will, we hope, incline our aristocratic rulers, o. , re it be yet too late, to remove those re strictions on commerce and manufactur es which are noyv imposed on them from the grossest igno rance or the most stupid selfishness. We: will, in conclusion, direct public attention to a. communication which appears in another part; of The Sun, from the Rev. H. PRICR, which only does justice to the surpassing utility of the classes which the Corn-law Tories are determined to starve out of existence, and comes appropriately to confirm some of our remarks. On this day week we adverted to the Exche quer bills forgery, and to the destruction of the Arsenal in the Tower, as adding to the difficul ties which Sir ROBERT PEEL will have to en counter when he meets the Parliament. His postponement of business has not revived com merce nor improved the finances, but it has given him more to provide for with diminished means. Yesterday the Times, borrowing ap parently our suggestion, grounds on the fact that Sir ROBERT PEEL will have more to provide for in consequence of the forgery and the burning, a defence of Sir ROBERT PEEL for not having legislated during the present year. He could not then know of these two disasters, and therefore, argues the Times, it was wise in him not to make any financial arrangements till the next session. Our Contemporary also refers to the recent ac quittal of Mr.M‘LEon as promoting a settlement of the dispute with America, and therefore justifying Sir ROBERT'S delay. In another Ministerial Paper, however, of yesterday, we are threat ened with another outbreak in Canada ; and the Herald recommended the Ministry •to keep a large army on foot in the Canadas, to be pre pared for the insurrection. While the acquittal of M'LEop, therefore, on the one hand, is to encourage Sir ROBERT PEEL to act, the appre hended rebellion in the Canadas, on the other, is to keep him on the watch, and pre vent him from going forward. If lie could not take his measures in August because he did not know how the trial would terminate, he may be unable to take them in March, because lie may not know how soon the insurrection will be gin. So with the Exchequer bill forgery and the burning of the Tower; if those events, whichwere wholly unforeseen in September, now justify his putting off financial and commercial reform till February, it will be thus quite impossible to tell what similar events may happen before the end of the year, and the Right Hon. Baronet will find his whole scheme of legislation paralysed by his" ignorance. At a meeting of the unemployed at Paisley, on Tuesday last, (where, we regret to say, the dis tress continues to increase, without the means of relieving it augmenting in a like proportion), Sheriff CAMPBELL " passed a high eulogium on the manner in which the unemployed had con ducted themselves during this unexampled stag nation of trade. From - his experience," he said, " as a Magistrate for forty years, notwithstanding all their privations, they had behaved in the most quiet and peaceable manner." Similar testimony can be, and ought to be, borne to the half employed, and the unemployed, throughout the kingdom. Though their suffer ings have been unexampled, their patience has been unequalled. Not a riot has taken place— not an outrage has been committed, to distinguish the present from times of the greatest proSperity. At the same time the public press has not been dumb. Bold discussion has not been spared, and has, perhaps, been substituted for violent actions. We notice this feature with great pleasure, be cause it exists in connection with the removal of a large portion of the stamp duties on news papers, and with no inconsiderable increase in provincial journals. We are reminded, too, by a pamphlet addressed to GEORGE BIRKBECK, Esq., the venerable founder of Mechanics' Insti tutions, just transmitted to us, that the pre sent patience, quietness, and good order of the people are so conspicuous, after mechanics' institations have been established for nearly twenty years, and have done much to improve the morals and minds of the present generation of workmen. It ought to be a great encourage ment to statesmen to remit noxious taxes, which stand in the way of increasing knowledge, and to philanthropists to persevere in such good works as promoting education, when they find them accompanied by such beneficial results. It is instructive also, and ought to tinge the Cheeks of some of our Contemporaries with tAntme, to contraa the peaceable behaviour of our suffering manufacturing population with the conduct or some classes of men abroad, whom in general all Governments are much more dis posed to honour than to honour the working f p .r e o o m p e.

In that , case military men, out of mere would involve their country in wanton nthehl ambition, o.rm.sofa civil war. At time head of it are Generals and The justification which the Times attempts of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S mischievous conduct in post poning the relief of the people for nine months will be found on examination, a complete justifi cation for never legislating at all. At no time can a Prime Minister tell that a Tower will not be burned, or a number of Exchequer bills not be. forged, before the end of the financial session for. which he provides ; and, on the principles of the Times, he ought never to provide fbr a ses sion of which he cannot foresee all the demands it - will make. After all, the Right lion. Baronet is going to do something; he has appointed two Commis sions to inquire into the practices in equity, and the means of levying the taxes at a less cost- He means, if his Commissioners can be brought to recommend it, to consolidate the Excise and Customs—a plan which the Whigs entertained, and made arrangements with a view of - ultimately carrying it into effect several months ago. The Times is careful to inform us that these are none' of the popular reforms which the people clamour for and the Whigs would. grant. It is quite right; the Torii:s will never give the people what they w'isli. They will t!q.ow out a little bit of mock reform, a humbug consolida tion of offices, a new digest of equity pleadings, or 6.ome such matter, as a tub to the whale; but the public are no longer to be deceived by mockeries of this sort, and the result of such a long delay, ending in such trifling improve ments, will only bring the strong Government of the Tories into contempt. In. another part of The Sun will be found a communication from Stoke-upon-Trent, which will .give the public some idea how justice is administered in the country. A respectable man, of smie property, while removing a number of bow Is from his own barge, was taken to the po lice sltation, on a charge of felony, confined for two mights in a horrid cell, chained by the leg like a wild beast, and treated by the Superin tenda It of police in a way which no degree of crime would justify. Tho unfortunate man was =t laSt discharged without any evi (lanai being brought against him. The Supez'intendent's conduct was inquired into by tbk Magistrates, and the only punishment in- . fliete (1. was suspension for one month. He should have 'been sent to the tread-mill for ayear. 'French Journals of Sunday have ali reachie d us,- but they contain -no news of any politiia - al importance. The Journal des Debats ts long accounts froin Barcelona, evidently design . Ito inflame the public against the Spanish cioverAment. After giving a long account of the state cif Barcelona, that Journal adds : Be sides the excitement which exists at Barcelona, there xeigns everywhere a feeling of distrust and hatred. A member of the aguntandento at Lerida, in a banquet given :to tle regiment of San Fernando, made use of the most violent language, saying that they were surrounded by to Litors, that a man must be ant . and out a true liberal, or be :nothing. "Down With moderation," ,shouted this mad= in ; " down with these vipers '; he that is not for us is tt gainst us. I have said." - • Othv r towns of Spain vie With Catalonia in violence and an archy. At Malaga the EmanCipacion, a paper of that frown, calls all Spaniards to arms, to extermi nate etal indiffin-ent or moderate men. " Let not one of our (*finenvies - remain alive," says this Journal ; " it is thus- ghat liberty is insure(l. Liberty or death." 'Kato most considerable towns of Catalonia follow the exa'ap te, of Barcelona. Juntas are forming everywhere.

The Republican movement is spreading; and may throw the Peninsula into another revolutionary crisis. The Councils of Ministers are very frequent. Cries of "Death to the French" are now heard on the other side of the Pyrenees. We have received the following letter from the frontiers " Troubles have broken out at Madrid—the cry of 4 The Republic for ever,' has been heard in all the Streets. It is added that Espartero, on hearing this news, set out for the capital at the head of a large force. " The Government' is said to have ordered the levy of 50,000 men, of which we have spoken solely, with a view to oppose a democratic revolution. Tc.morrow we shall doubtless know how far this news, which we have just received, is correct." We add an extract from another letter " A person worthy of credit, who has arrivod this morning from Bergara, reports that the Regent has suddenly left Vittoria for Medrid, with the Ministers. It is affirmed that there have been disturbances in the capital, that the national guard refuses to act, that the Regent is reproached with governing despotically, that he is called upon to return within the limits of the Constitution," &c. Rodilis • a sanguinary and deluded man. We know here the atrocious manner in which he behaved in Mexico. This revolution will be the most cruel of all. A numerous party was assembled to witness the marriage between two young persons who had long been attached to each other. The service was over, and the new married couple, with their families and friends, were about to quit the church, when the bridegroom was sud denly struck with madness, and in his frenzy seized a kiire, and threatened the lives of all around him. The panic was so sudden, that for a moment the maniac was deserted by every one except the father of the bride, 80 years of age, upon whom all the fury of his new son in-law was wreaked. The unhappy victim received three desperate wounds, two in the body, and one in the thigh.. His cries recalled his friends, and after a violent struggle the weapon was wrested from the hand of the maniac, and he was bound with cords on a table, raving in the most appalling manner, and tearing his face with • his nails. The bride's father was carried home, where, after lingering twelve hours, he expired. No hopes of the restoration of the bridegroom to his senses are en tertained. In announcing' the departure of Count Pahlen for St. Petersburgh, La France says, that the diplomatic world is curious about the purpose of this journey— they would discover the causes of it, and it is supposed that the late events in Spain may very likely be con nected with h. Count Pahlen, who has scot and closely observed all the events which have taken place in France, will take to St. Petersburgh (adds that Journal) valuable information, which will give the Cabinet that he represents an insight into the tricks of the double-faced policy of the Ministry of Oct. 29. Mars'iul Clausel left Toulon for Algiers on the 2d November, on board the Sphynx.—Contmerce. A few days ago a person, named Martin, rather more than fifty years of age, a native of Paris, but who .ap- Pears to have resided some time. in London, committed suicide in his lodging, at Graville, near Havre. He was found in the position of a man sleeping, with a rope round his neck, and on the table near him a prayer boOk, a loaded pistol, and a glass, which had contained - laudanum, Letters were found addressed to whoever might discover him, stating that his motives for com mitting suicide were his own secret—that he had never done harm to any body in his life—and begging that a little packet, tied round his neck, on which was written, " Ma fille Anna," and a chain made of hair, might be buried with him. The Courrier du Bas Rhin of the 2d inst. states that a serious quarrel took place on the 31st ult., in a beer _ house at Strasburgh, between some Foot Chasseurs and some of the inhabitants. The Chasseurs were expelled, but returned, says the account, with a reinforcement of their comrades, and entered sword in hand. A vigorous resistance was opposed to them, and, as the evening re treat was sounding, they retired, but not before three of the civilians and some of the military were wounded. The Courrier adds that the affair is in the course of judi cial investigation. Not many days since a young man of Gaille-Fontaine. in the Somme, enraged at the resolution of his father, who was a widower, to marry again, gave 1,500 f. to a shepherd to murder him. The crime was committed, and both the culprits are in custody. The Journal du Havre states that a few days ago a sloop, the Aimable Desiree, of Cherbourg, when about to land on the English coast a cargo of contraband goods, was seized by some Custom-house officers, who put the crew on shore, and remained on board to preserve their capture. Whilst they were calculating the share of prize-money which each would receive, a strong breeze sprung up, the anchor gave way, and the sloop went out to sea. In a short time the gale became almost a tem pest, but the officers struggled manfully against it, and employed all their skill in manoeuvring for the English coast. They manoeuvred so well, says the Journal du . Havre, that in two days' time, instead of reaching Eng land, they entered the port of St. Waast, near Cher bourg, where they have been heartily laughed at for their misadventure. . • The beetroot sugar manufacturers of the Pas do Calais have had another meeting at Arras, at which they have resolved to present a separate memorial to the Minister of Commerce, showing that at the present scale of duty they cannot continue their manufacture without loss. An Alexandrian correspondent of the Semaphore says that Said Pacha was named Vice-Admiral of the Egyp tian fleet immediately on his arrival from Constantinople. Another letter in the Sud says that Said Pacha and Sarni Pacha both wore the reformed costume of the Ot toman Court on their arrival at Alexandria, but it was expected that they would soon resume the usual Egyp tian costume. The presentation of the Sultan's Envoy Tfilh Bey took place with great ceremony, and a con siderable number of Europeans were present. M. Hamon, a French resident, who had had a fracas with Dr. Clot Bey, had been condemned to 40 days' imprisonment, and 100 f. fine for the assault. " As Mrs. an English lady of fortune," says the Droit, " was, two days ago, crossing the Place de la Concorde in an open carriage, her daughter called her attention to a little girl who was very ill clad, and stood crying by the roadside ; Mrs. L. stopped her car riage, and questioned the child, who, in her infantine language, described the death of her mother, her being coffined and carried away in a hearse, which she had fol lowed, she said, till she lost sight of it, and was waiting for her mother to come back. Mrs. L. took the poor little orphan to her home, which she was able to desig nate, but finding that she was left destitute, the. benevo lent lady immediately engaged to bring up and provide fur the little unhappy orphan." " On the 25th ult.," says the Handelshlad " there was cast in the Atlas fOundry of Messrs. Dixon and Co., at Amsterdam, the main piece of the iron swing-bridge, which is to be thrown over the Spaarre, to allow of the Amsterdam and Rotterdam railroad traversing that river. The casting was perfectly successful, and it forms the largest piece of iron ever made in this way in a single mould. The length is seventy-eight feet eight inches, and the weight nearly fourteen tons. The melting of the metal began at nine in the morning, and the furnace was tapped at three in the afternoon." The 211(innheiin Gazette relates that a boy, only nine years old, of a distinguished family of that town, has re cently poisoned his sister and two other children with arsenic, which he contrived to steal from a chemist's shop in the neighbourhood of his residence, where he used often to go. The fact of his having used the poison designedly is said to have been clearly proved. He is to be confined in a house of correcdon. A few days ago a dreadful accident occurred in the factory of Messrs. Derosne and Co., at Molenbeck St. Jean, near Brussels. As six young men were at work on an iron boiler weighing 13,0001 b., it lost its balance and fell upon them ; five out of the six were killed, and the other was severely injured. A few days before, two workmen in the same factory had been killed by ac cident. After the occupation of the convent of Wettingen by the Argovian and Bernese troops, the painted windows of the chapel were found missing, and were said to have been removed by one of the soldiers. They have, how ever, been discovered in Germany, as the Nouvelliste Vitudois states, where the old gardener of the convent was endeavouring to sell them. " In the commune of Argoville, near Cherbourg," re marks the Hero of Caen, " there has not been a single death, or marriage, for the last five years." A man named Fourgue, as we learn from Carcasonne, in the Aude, was condemned, some time since, to five years' imprisonment for a violent assault on and wound ing his mother.. He made his escape, and, concealing himself near Cavanac, his native place, spread terror by his robberies and other acts through the country. For these, he was condemned by default for an additional ten years' imprisonment ; after a time he was caught and confined, but again escaped and returned to has old haunts. Having vowed vengeance against the wit nesses who had deposed against him, he was once more tried in default, and sentenced to death for an attempt to murder one of them. Parties of gen darmes and even detachments of troops were sent out in search of him, but he evaded them all. On the 24th ult. he attacked two brothers, named Amigues, one a tailor, the other a discharged soldier: The tailor knew that Fourgue had sworn to take his life, and, therefore, always went -armed with a brace of pistols. One of these was carried by each of them. The soldier accosted the bandit and remonstrated with him, but was immediately knocked down with the butt-end of a double barrelled gun, which the savage always carried with him ; but recovered himself as quickly. A conflict ensued, and Fourguc's weapon was wrested from him. Shots had been exchanged, hut without any other effect than -a slight wound in the shoulder of the convict, which did riot prevent him "from gating one of his ad versaries down under - him; and he would no doubt have killed him, had not the other brother, seizing the villain's gun, beat his brains out with the stock. The two brothers immediately gave an account of what they had done to the Magistrates, and are under temporary arrest. A young man, tamed Chair, has just been taken into custody at Apt (Vaucluse) for the murder of his father, a man aged '53. - It appears that the murderer, who w as living' separately from his father, had watched an oppor tunity of entering the house of the latter in the evening, unseen, and had concealed himself until his intended vic tim was asleep; when he struck him with great violence on the head with a flail. The father, however; was still able to offer resistance, and a severe struggle ensued, which ended in , his death. The miirderer then went home, and'passed the night tranquilly with his wife. On the following morning the house of the father was open ed by the police - on the application of the son, who'pre tended to be uneasy at ,his non appearance ; but suspi cion fell upon the son, and he confessed his crime, adding that his motive was revenge for the ill-treatment which ho had received from his parent. He has been commit ted for trial. The municipal elections continue at Toulouse in favour of the councillors of the late municipality dissolved by the Government. M. Perpessac and M. July, a deputy of the Extreme Gauche, have been elected, as well as Messrs. Martin and Cayrel 'of the late council. The Provisional Mayor, General Lejeune, only got fifteen votes in his favour ; the others from 200 to 300. Advices from Alexandria of the 21st ult. are quoted by the Debats. They state that Mehemet Ali had re ceived the Sultan's Envoy, who had delivered a sabre d'honneur, a decoration in brilliants, and an autograph letter in his master's name. General Ventura bad ar rived at Alexandria with his family from Lahore. M. de Rohan Chabot, the French-Consul-General ad in terim, had left for Cairo. Promard, Villet, and Ador, three rogues, grown cun ning and adroit from long practice upon the worthy shopkeepers of Paris, were on the look out, two days ago, for an opportunity to transfer to themselves some valuable lots of goods, upon the most easy terms. Strik ing along the Rue St. Penis, Promard perceived a worthy wax-chandler alone in his shop, whose countenance had an expression of simplicity, which induced the belief that he might be easily deluded. Promard accordingly went in, and engaged the chandler in a conversation on the price of wax, continuing all the time to play a tele graphi. which the confederates had. invented for th e i r secret communications. This consisted of a cornet, or piece of paper rolled up in a conical form, by which he intimated to his associates how they were to act. He kept it behind his back ; when the point was turned down, it indicated that they might make a seizure with out fear ; but when the point was turned up, they were to be cautious. The confederates had thus secured, as they thought, two large cakes of wax from a shelf at the door, when two police agents in disguise, to whom they were all well known, came by, at once saw their manoeuvres, and arrested the two outside, with their booty, but the telegraph man effected his escape. Letters and Papers from Madrid of the Ist inst., state that a communication from the Earl of ABERDEEN was received by the Spanish Go vernment, denouncing the revolutionary attempt of CHRISTINA MUNOZ. This well-timed com munication will do much in the way of countyr acting the machinations of France. The following extract from a Madrid letter contains all the news of any interest from the Spanish capital : The two brothers Fulgosios, field-officers, have been sentenced to death, and their execution is to take place, according to general report, jointly with that of Briga dier-General Quiroga, and a Lieutenant of . the regiment of the Princesa. The two first named joined Don Carlos, were included in the Evora Monte convention, were parties to the Bergara treaty, and, it would seem, had not yet had enough of trouble through mixing them selves up in rash undertakings ; but their mother, more than themselves, is to blame, because she insisted, if we are rightly informed, upon their taking up arms against the Government, Ex-Brigadier-General Norragarry has left Madrid, to embark at Cadiz for the Mariana Isles, where he is to be confined during six years, and it is believed'that he married on the very day of his depar , tare, and that his wife accompanies him, her father re siding at present at Manilla. The Captain Guardia of the National Guard, who so generously petitioned the Regent to spare the life of General Count de Belascoain, died the evening before last of his wounds, and was buried this day with mili tary honours ; the whole of his comrades, with the ten musical bands, attended, as well as the senators and de puties in Madrid, the alabanderos, with their Captain- General, the Marquis Vallehumbroso, the Captain-Ge neral and Governor of Madrid, many general officers, and other respectable inhabitants ; Captain-General Palafox, Duke of Saragossa; the Madrid Municipal Chamber and Provincial Deputation, and about 50 car riages ; it was dusk when the cortege reached the bury ing-ground ; but I understand that funeral orations were delivered over the grave. The Queen's tutor, Ar guelles, was among those present. The Ist inst., being the Feast of All Souls, and therefore observed as a close holiday in Catholic countries, no business was done on the Madrid Bourse. LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAOREaI'‘,TARY, BUCKINGHAM PALACE, - ,';ov. 9, 184 This morning, at twelve minutes before eleven, the Queen was happily delivered of a Prince. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, several Lords of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, and the Ladies of her Majesty's Bedchamber, being present. This great and important news was immediately made known to the town By the firing of the Park and Tower Guns ; and the Privy Council being as sembled, as' soon as possible thereupon, at the Council-Chamber, Whitehall, it was ordered, that a Form of Thanksgiving fur the Queen's safe delivery of a Prince be prepared by his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, to be used in all churches and chapels throughout England and Wales, and the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, on Sunday the 14th of November, or the Sunday after the respective ministers shall receive the same. Her Majesty and the Infant Prince are, God be praised, both doing well. LORD MAYOR'S DA V. This being the day appointed for the swearing in of the Chief Magistrate of the City of London at West minster Hall, as might have been expected every street, square, court, and alley, from London-bridge to that of Westminster, Were crowded by anxious persons, of both sexes, to witness the imposing procession by water and land. About twelve o'clock the able caterer in proces sional departments made his arrangements in Guild hail-yard. His Lordship, in his state coach, drawn by six horses, was preceded by the Bands of 11 th Hussars, Prince Albert's Own, the 2d Life Guards, and that belonging to the 72d Foot, the recent Royal Infantry Guard at Windsor. The various City Companies took water in their State barges at various stairs, accompanied by bands composed of the Grenadier, Coldstream, and Scots Fusilier Guards, who played the most modern music in their usual effeetive style. The boats of the Thames Police and London Fire Establishment were also decorated in their gayest colours in honour of the day. The land procession was as usual grand in the extreme, as the cockneys believe, composed of the usual number of heralds, • men in suits of brass, steel, and copper armour, escorted by a guard of his Royal Highnes: Prince Albert's Regiment. According to annual custom, the state barge belonging to the worshipful CoMpany of Stationers was rowed over 'to the Palace of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the company on board received from his Grace the annual gift of a hamper of claret. The river Thames, from the fineness of the day, was crowded with boats of various sizes, in which were elegantly'dressed females, and the best order was kept to prevent accidents. The report that a sister of Mr. G. E. Anson was killed by a fall from her horse is incorrect. DESTRUCTION OP BAWDSEY n Friday, the sth instant, the ehdreh of this village was burned to the ground. The aecident was caused by two men going on the steeple with a turpentine-ball, which they set on fire, and a part of the ball falling on the thatch of the church it immediately ignited. All exer tions to put out the fire were fruitless. The men were taken on the following day before It N. Shawe, Esq., and Mr. Norton, and after undergoing a long examina• tion they were liberated, upon condition that they would appear at the Wdodbridge Petty Sessions on Wednes day (this day).—lpswich Express. Sir Arthur Aston, it is said, has presented to Queen Isabella an autograph letter from her Majesty Queen Victoria, congratulating her on the failure of the attempt of the 7th. The young Queen, it is stated, was most sensibly affected at this mark of affection on the part of our most gracious Sovereign. WATCHMEN WANT WATCHING.—It is said by a writer in the Times, in commenting on the late fire at the Tower, that the experience of the great insurance offices has induced them to charge a higher rate of in surance for buildings in which a private watchman is kept, than for those left without any such safeguard ! • The Earl of Ripon arrived in town on Satur day from his seat in Yorkshire. F R ICEMASONRY.—Sir Ralph Abercrombie, when a young officer, was initiated in the Canongate liilwinning, May, 1753.. It is not a little remarkable that four of the greatest commanders of modern times should have been members of the peaceful Masonic Fra ternity—namely, Abercromby, Nelson, Moore. and Wel lington. Scotland can boast of two of these heroes, Sir John Moore having been initiated in th e St. John's Lodge, Haddington. Ireland claiins her Wellington ; England her Nelson.—Freemason's Quarterly Review. The Dieppe papers state that the herring fishery has commenced under the most favourable auspices. The boats bring in full cargoes every day, and the quantity taken by fishermen of that port, between the 21st and 30th ult., is estimated at 24 ; 483 measures. Three days ago a house, five stories high, at Lyons, fell down. The foundations had been undermined by the floods. Fortunately, the inmates were all fore warned,'and were out of the building when the accident happened, so that no one was injured. The Sentinelle of Toulon states that a fire broke out some time since on board the Inflexible of the line on the Levant station, and was not got under for three hours. The accident, the precise date of which is not mentioned, was caused. by a man having imprudently allowed the flame of a candle to catch some spirits which he was drawing off from a cask. It is not said how much damage was done, but no lives were lost. A frightful tragedy. was enacted in the church at Juzieres, near Mantes Seine et Oise), a few days ago. EVENING SUNN.
