The bankrupt, who was a most extensive specula tor in corn, came up to pass his last examination, having only delivered his voluminous balance-sheet about a week since. Some notion of the extent of his dealings may be gathered from the following ab stract of his balance-sheet, commencing on the Ist of April, 1840, and extending from that period to the 6th of September, 1842 : DR. TIIE lIAGITE, OCT. 16.—Their Royal Highnesses 'the Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Saxe Wiemar Eisenach, left the Hague yesterday to pro ceed to Wiemar. AMSTERDAM, OCT. 15.—The report of the wreck of the &Ilona, published by the Zeepost, caused an extra ordinary sensation here, so that the Austrian Consul- Ge neral, and other authorities, immediately repaired to the spot to give all the assistance in their power. Hap pily, the whole was unfounded. Nobody here can conceive how the Zeepost was induced to publish such a false statement. OPENING OF THE ORDINARY SESSION OF 1842 AND 1843. COURT OF QUARTER SESSIONS, GLOUCESTER. The Quarter Sessions of the peace for the Michael mas quarter commenced at Gloucester on Tuesday morning. After the usual preliminary business had been transacted, the Magistrates adjourned to the Grand Jury room, for the transaction of the county business. There was a large attendance, though the Court was not so full as on some former occasions. Among those present we noticed the Right Hon. Earl Fitzhardinge, the Hon. Grantley Berkeley, M.P., Sir Matthew Wood, C. Bathurst, Esq.; and from the Cheltenham district, E. Kendall, W. Gyde, J. Over bury, J. E. Viner, S. Gale, W. Pitt, and D. L. St. Clair, Esqrs., the Rev. J. Smith, Colonel Wall, and others. thin he could not be there fourteen hours at a time, because the prisoners are not let out of their cells un til six in the morning, and are locked up again at six in the evening, The surgeon did not know of his sorting potatoes at the time. lle has been told of it since, but did not express an objection to it. I never heard of his eating the raw potatoes. Ile never com plained, to my knowledge, of the food. The potatoes are kept in a dry cellar. There is no water running through the prison now. The brook is now turned outside the boundary wall. There is only sufficient water allowed to cleanse the privies. The potato cel lar is not near the brook, which runs on the otherstle of the prison. The cell Beale was confined in was perfectly dry, as all the cells are. They are heated in cold weather by the stoves. Don't suppose they were warmed at the time complained of, as it was sum mer time. There is nothing in the cells for the pri soners to sit on but the large stone and the iron bed stead. When the cells are warmed the hot air toms under the stone. It was in my presence that Beale told his mother that he was perfectly satisfied. None of the cells are glazed, they are fitted with wooden shutters. The rain may beat in sometimes, but not much.

At one o'clock, the King left his Palace, accompanied by the Princes, and a brilliant staff. A salute of artillery announced his de parture from the Palace. The inhabitants, who crowded the streets through which he passed, received him with the loudest accla mations. His Majesty being introduced into the As sembly by the deputation appointed for the purpose, placed himself before the throne, and delivered the following speech : " NOBLE AND MIGHTY LORDS,—On opening the present Session of the States-General, the first desire of my heart is to speak to you of the union of my beloved daughter with the Hereditary Grand Duke of Saxe IViemar Eisenach. " I have reason to believe that this union, with the blessing of Heaven,w4ll,l,.contrilauteto the happiness of my beloved daughter. " My prayers and the interest which you take will accompany my daughter and her husband. She, on her part will never forget her country, t o w hi c h all my family are so intimately attached. "In lately visiting several provinces of the king dom, it was with the most lively satisfaction that I re ceived from my subjects the most marked proof of at tachment and affection, and it is soothing to my heart to be assured in this manner, that my beloved sub jects are not ignorant to what high degree they are sure of my reciprocal attachment. The relations of the Netherlands with Foreign Powers have been marked by mutual friendship and good will. " The negociations with Belgium for the complete execution of the Treaty of London have been prosecuted with all the attention which this important question requires. "I have the satisfaction to be able to announce to you that the respective Plenipotentiaries have latelyagreed on the basis of an arrangement which includes all the points which have hitherto remained in dispute, and I therefore trust that the treaty will be signed in a few days. " The Navy of the kingdom is in as satisfactory a condition as the sums granted in the budget permit ; only our arsenals require improvements which are at this moment a subject of attention. " According to what circumstances require the most suitable means are constantly employed to put the de fences of the country on a respectable footing. "The good will and zeal of the officers and soldiers have allowed the time of the exercise of the militia to be again shortened. "The special commission appointed to revise the laws relative to the militia and commercial guards has met with so many difficulties in its proceedings, that it cannot be certainly affirmed whether the new projects of law on this subject can be discussed during the present session. " Order and regularity continue to be remarked in the internal administration. " The organization of the police requires ameliora tion in several parts of the kingdom. Measures are preparing to provide an effectual remedy. " Primary instruction, under the influence of the late ordinances, affords satisfactory results. " I continue to turn all my attention to the other branches of public instruction, and there is reason to rejoice at the state of the sciences and the increase and prosperity- of the arts. " With respect to the Benevolent Society it is in tended to submit to the States-General some legis lative measures on this subject. " The situation of the indigent classes is particularly the subject of earnest solicitude. Measures are in preparation which may better fulfil the proposed ob jects than those which are founded on the existing law. " Our Colonial possessions enjoy a satis'actory state of tranquillity ; agriculture and manufactures con tinue to make progress in our East India possessions, though the shock which credit has received has dimi nished their resources. " The internal situation of our West India colonies, the prosperity of which is paralysed by divers causes, is the subject of serious deliberation. " The completion of the penal code, and the succes sive amelioration of the different branches of the Le gislation, are prosecuted with all diligence. " The second book of the penal code will be pre sented to you during these sessions, as well as some of the projects of law; the object of one of them is to regulate the execution of the enactments of the funda mental law respecting the leave to retire granted, in certain cases, to members of the judicial order. " The less flourishing condition, in some branches of commerce and manufactures, has not been without influence on some taxes, which have fallen short of the original estimate. After some routine business had been gone through the subject of the county prison was taken into con sideration. Cu. £688,727 12 10 X s. d. 2,628 0 0 PRISONS AND 110VSIt3 OP CORRECTION.

Trade expenses - 7 7 Personal expenses from April Ist, 1840, to September 6, 1542 The Visiting Justices', Surgeon's, and Gaoler's Reports of the state of this prison were read. It appeared that on the 14th of October, the pri• soners had been inspected and asked if they had any complaint to make ; they all said they had not sufficient food, except one man who was un well and could not eat his allowance. Visiting Jus tices thought the dietary scarcely sufficient for long terms of imprisonment. The CHAIRMAN observed that from the Surgeon's Report the prisoners appeared generally healthy, al though the prison was crowded. N- .DJTTLE DEAN. From tfietisifeesT 114 - - N vfisow soners appeared satisfied, and when askedll%ti r liey a -1 any complaint to make, replied, "None."

HORSLEY HOUSE OF CORRCTION. 2,636 9 9 The CHAIRMAN said he thought from what they had heard it would be proper to substitute wooden seats for stone ones, as stone was of too damp a na ture to form a proper seat for prisoners in a perspira tion. He, therefore, proposed that pieces of wood should be clamped on the stones. The motion was agreed to.

The Visiting Justices reported that one of the turnkeys of this prison had been tried at the late assizes, for assisting ono of the female prisoners in at tempting to procure abortion. lie had been acquitted, but the Justices had thought it right to institute a rigid inquiry into the case, and they were unani mously of opinion that the charge was groundless. The turnkey alluded to being a son of the Governor of the gaol, the Justices considered that it was impro per he should hold an appointment in that particular prison, and therefore recommended his discharge ; but fearing if he was discharged .o soon after the re cent complaint against him, it might operate prejudi cially to his character, they agreed to continue him in his situation until Christmas next. The prisoners made; no complain of the diet. The Rev. John Betts of Nailsworth, was api:ointed chaplain of this prison. The surgeon, in his Report, stated that there were two prisoners who had been fifteen months on the wheel. In every case of so long imprisonment, he thought the absence of animal food was injurious. In these cases, the prisoners did not appear to suffer so much from ill-health as from weakness. One case of death had occurred in the prison, but the seeds of the disease were evidently sown before the prisoner's entrance to the gaol. Two of the prisoners were obliged to hare meat to enable them to work ; but generally they were not over-worked or under-fed. The CHAIRMAN said, he thought it might be in ferred from the tenour of the Report, that the dietary was too low for prisoners sentenced to long terms of imprisonment. MEMORIAL FROM THE WARD OP GUARDIANS. After some further desultory conversation, the sub ject dropped, without the Court coining to any specific resolution. SURREY QUARTER SESSIONS. KINGSTON, OCT. 19. (Before E. PENIIRYN, Esq., Chairman ; Sir R. FREDERICK, J. W. FRESIIFIELD, Esq.; T. FUCKLE, Esq. &c.) The Court this . day proceeded to renew the licenses to the different places of public amusement in the county, and to hear applications for fresh ones. Upon the application of Mr. Chamber, licenses were granted to the Victoria Theatre, in the names of John Adolphus Young, William White Smith, and D. W. Osbaldiston • to the Royal Gardens, Vauxhall ; to the Castle Hotel, Richmond; the Duke's Attns, Stangate ; and to the Jamaica Tavern, Bermondsey. Mr. Wallinger applied for a renewal of the license for the Surrey Theatre, in the name of Frances Davidge, the widow of the late lessee. — Granted. Mr. tutor applied for and obtained a renewal of the license to the St. Helena Gardena, Rotherhithe. Mr. Chambers applied for a license for Astley's Amphitheatre, in the names of John Chevalier Cobbold and William Batty. The Learned Counsel said that the name of Mrs. Astley was included in the former license, but her interest in the theatre had now ceased.—The application was granted. Mr Chambers then, pursuant to notice, applied on behalf Mr. Brown, the landlord of the Green Man, Old Kent-road, for a license to have music and danc ing upon his premises. The Learned Counsel said that Mr. Brown had conducted his establishment with the greatest respectability, for a period of 15 years, and his application was supported by a great number of the inhabitants of his immediate neighbourhood, and also by the churchwardens, overseers, and several members of the Board of Guardians. A counter petition was presented by other inhabi tants of the vicinity, which alleged that the place was at present a nuisance to the neighbourhood, by exhi bitions of fireworks, and others of a similar kind, which took place there, and expressing their opinion that the grant of such a license as the one prayed for would greatly increase the evil, by bringing a great number of disorderly persons and bad characters into the Mr . ig P nehbourhd. UCKLE oo said he must oppose the license being granted. The local Magistrates were strongly op posed to a house in such a public situation as this having a license, for although the landlord might be a very respectable man, and desirous to conduct his house properly, yet it was impossible for him to pre vent had characters from a tt en di ng it. He had re ceived a letter from a gen tl eman li v ing in the neig bourhood, who confi rme d th e op i n i on h expressed in the petition against the license, that if one were granted it would be the means of creating a very great nui sance. At all events, as it was not customary to grant such a license on the first application, he thought the application might stand over for the present. Mr. Chamb ers sa id it was rather hard upon the applicant that the licens e s h ou ld b e re fused, when no good ground of oppo s iti on to i t appea red to exist. Three months' notice of th e i ntende d a pplication had been given, and yet none of the parties who opposed the grant of the license had been able to establish any specific opposition. Mr. FRESHFIELD intimated his opinion that as such long notice had been given those parties who peti tioned the Court not to grant the license, ought, at the same time, to have given some reasons for their opposition ; but, instead of doing that, they merely, generally stated their opinion that the place would become a nuisance. GLOUCESTER PRISON. A Report was next read from the Visiting Justices of Gloucester gaol. It stated that Lot Organ and Thomas Roach, the two prisoners mentioned by the bc:ard of guardians, had never complained of ill-treat ment while in confinement ; that the cells of the prison were not damp, but dry, airy, and well-ventilated ; that the tread•wheel labour was not injurious to health, as the prisoners were only on a quarter of an hour and twenty minutes off. The superintendent of the wheel stated that neither Organ nor Roach had complained of the labour; the former when he entered the prison was a thin, miserable-looking object, and that he went out better than he came in ; he was re presented as a " dissatisfied and scheming character." In the surgeon's Report the case of Organ was men tioned no less than 53 times, and he appeared to have been most carefully and diligently attended to. JONES, Esq., one of the Visiting Justices, as sured the Court that there was not an atom of founda tion of complaint in either of the cases. Mr. GALE inquired if the surgeon made any report of the health of prisoners when admitted into the gaol, and being answered in the negative, proposed a resolution to the effect that on the admission of every prisoner the surgeon make a minute of the re suit of his examination, as to any tendency to disease in his constitution, that it may serve as a reference at any future time. I]arl FITZHARDINGE coincided in the motion. After some further discussion, the motion was agreed to. The CHAIRMAN here read the memorial addressed to the Court by the Cheltenham Board of Guardians, calling its attention to several cases of ill-treatment in Northleach and other prisons. He said that on the Report appearing in the public papers, he had put himself in communication with the Board, and here read the correspondence, the substance of which has already appeared in our columns. He had also written to the Visiting Justices of Northleach and Horsley on the subject, and had received reports from them in re ply. The substance of them was as follows : DREADFUL DISASTER AT SEA. (From the Wateiford Mirror.) _ _ Intelligence of the folio - wing disaster, attended, there is every reason to fear, with the loss of the crew of the vessel run down, with the exception of one man, the writer of the subjoined statement, reached this city on Saturday. It appears that the brig Dundonald, of Troon, D. 31‘Nicol, master, which sailed from this port on Tuesday evening for Troon, laden with ballast, came, shortly after her departure, in contact with the schooner Kirby, laden with slates from lludden, a small seaport on the borders of Lan cashire and Cumberland. The only particulars that we have yet learned are contained in the letter at foot, written by one of the crew of the Kirby, which letter he handed to the pilot authorities at Passage of Waterford, where he arrived in the Maid of Mostyn. It is to be remarked, that the letter is not signed with the writer's name. — The Report from Horsley, alluding to the case of Jane Barnard, mentioned by the clerk of the Chelten ham Board as having been confined in that prison, stated,• that although the Justices had carefully in spected the books for some years back, they were unable to find any such person as having been an inmate of the prison. The matron, who had filled her present situation for thirteen years, had no recollection of any such person, neither had the Governor. The Report further stated that the dietary of the prison had not been altered for thirteen years, except an addition of half a pound of potatoes daily to such of the prisoners as were at hard labour. There were no complaints of the: insufficiency of the food. Four deaths only had occurred in the prison during the last thirteen years, and one of these was an old man of 75, and the others more recently, and all from causes quite independent of the prison regulations. No pri soners were compelled to work contrary to the direc tions of the surgeon. The state of the building afforded no ground for dissatisfaction, the cells were perfectly dry, and there were stoves for the purpose of warming them, and the situation of the prison was healthy. The only point in which the Visiting Jus tices or surgeon were in doubt, was whether the diet was sufficiently good for persons under long terms of imprisonment ; there were four such at present in the prison, to some of whom it was found necessary to afford a little animal food. The Dundonald took her departure from Hook Tower at eight o'clock on Tuesday evening, and her collision with the Kirby occurred about three hours after, and about sixteen miles from the Hook. We learn that the night was rather cloudy, but that the sea was smooth with a light breeze. While we anxiously await some further intelligence, and in particular the:version of the occurrence to be given by the Dundonald, we think that it appears at least some what probable, from the following letter, that the Kirby and the remainder of the crew went down :—" This is to certify that the schooner Kirby, of Dudden, was bound on her passage from Dudden to Youghal, with a cargo of slates, and on Tuesday, October 11, betwixt the hours of 10 and 12 p.m., the brig Dundonald, of Troon, and the said schooner, got entangled with one another about a mile to the southward of the Con nibegs Light-ship, when the master of the schooner called out to the brig, You will run us down ;' they said, Put your helm down,' and immediately the vessel struck, when our master called out, She is going down —run, save yourselves if you can With that I left the helm, and ran forward, and got hold of the brig's bobstay, along with my shipmate, but I not know whether he went overboard or not. There was one of the brig's crew assisted me in getting over the bows. When I got on deck I heard my master say, Oh, dear, Captain, stand by us !' and he gave him no answer, but was giving orders to his men about his jib,boom, for it was carried away. I kept looking towards the schooner, and as near as I can calculate I saw her about 20 minutes, and-the last words I heard my Captain say were, Oh, my dear wife.' I went to the Captain of the brig, and said, You would better stand towards her;' and he said, ' What good can I do ? Let us get our own jib-boom in. I wanted him to put me in board the Light-ship, but he would not do it, and I re mained on board of her till Thursday the 13th, when I saw a schooner standing in for the Tuskar Light. I asked the Captain if he would allow his men to pull me aboard of the schooner, and he said it was a days' work, she was so far off, and two of the men said they would go, and he said Very well, call the hands up. So we lowered the boat and pulled towards the schooner, and made signal to her, and she hove to until we came up to her, which we found to be the Maid of Mostyn, Captain Edwards, bound for Ross, and I ask e d a passage f rom him, and he told me to come aboard. It was 3 p.m., then. She was about seven miles to the E.N.E. of Tuskar Light." We have not learned the name of the writer of this state ment. It appears that he was a north of England man, and has gone on to Youghal, in the expectation of finding if the s c hooner was able to prosecute her voyage. We trust that the expectation will be rea lized. Her crew consisted of the master and three men, on board. and it appears that the master's wife was also "The slight difference produced by these two causes is, however, made up for by the surplus in other branches. NORTIILEACI/ HOUSE OF CORRECTION. From the journal of the Governor of this prison, it appeared that Charles Beale and Josiah Rowley were inmates of the prison fro.n March to September. In the course of that time they were unwell and visited "The hope that the contribution from the colonial resources, which were below the estimate in 1841, would be made up for by the produce of the current year has not been realised. The continuance in the decline in the price of colonial produce has again caused a very considerable deficit. "Taking these results as a basis, the colonial con tributions during the next two years must neces sarily be assumed at a lower sum in estimating the revenues of the State. The license was eventually refused. Mr. Chambers nest applied for a license for a con cert-room in Hill-street, Peckham, on behalf of Mr. Baker, the proprietor. There was no opposition offered to the license. The CHAIRMAN said he was informed by Mr. Kemble, that he intended t o h ave suppor t e d the appli cation if it had been possibl e f or h i m to h a ve attended the Court that day, as he b e li eve d th a t a place of a musement was requisite i n t h at vic i n i ty . Mr. Hamm was favour a bl e to t h e grant of the license. by tbe surgeon, who attended them frequently. It , appeared that Beale had only once been visited by the Chaplain during the time of his illness. The CHAIRMAN remarked that he was sorry to see, from the Visiting Justices, that since the last sessions they had only visited the prison three times, viz., on the 30th of July, the 20th of August, and the Ist of October. This was explained by one of the Justices that the petty sessions were held at the gaol in the interim, when other Magistrates had an opportunity of inspecting the state of the prisoners. After adverting to the case of Rowley, the Report of the Justices has the following respecting Beale : Charles Beale was taken ill on the 14th of May, and examined by the surgeon. On the 17th he was ordered to rest two or three days ; on the 21st he was better; on the 24th better still; on the 28th better; on the 31st very weak, and ordered meat daily. On the 4th of June he was better; 7th much the same; 12th better; 15th better. He was during this time on extra diet, and on the 18th, 22d, and 24th con tinued mending. On the Ist of July he was found to have the jaundice, and tonics were administered. On the 16th and 19th he was better. On the 2d of August he was found to have a cough, and was or dered to rest. On the 10th his cough was still bad, and medicine was administered ; 13th, cough conti nued, a blister on the side ; 15th, half a pound of meat ordered ; 16th, cough still and pain in the side, bled, and had medicine administered. On the 17th he was relieved by the previous treatment; 18th, bled again, blood much inflamed ; 19th, cough, but better gener ally; 21st, still better; 24th, 26th, and 31st, still im proving ; and on Ist September he left the prison. The CHAIRMAN remarked that the prisoner appeared to receive every attention at the hands of the surgeon, as there were no less th an 31 entr i es i n t h e b oo k re lative to his case. Shortly after the commencement of his illn ass, the prisoner Beale stated to his mother, who visited him, that he received every attention, and could not be done better by at home. This, however, was said in presence of the turnkey and gaolor. In the. Report, the cells are represented as well ven tilated, and damp only when they have been washed, on which occasions they are not used for persons kept to hard labour. It concludes by saying there is nothing either in the discipline, situation, or atmo sphere of the prison calculated to injure those con fined in it, and nothing but what is needful and con sistent with a wholesome rigour of imprisonment. It is signed by C. and H. Waller, the Visiting Justices, and other Magistrates. A Report from the county surveyor, who had been employed to inspect the cells, was also read. It stated that the drainage was very complete, the building perfectly weather-proof, the rain water well carried off, and that the cells are perfectly dry, and that if there was any damp at all, the white wash on the walls would make it easily discernible. The cells are warmed by artificial means. The level of the brook is five feet six below the level of the cells. The CHAIRMAN said that as a Coroner's inquest was being held on the late prisoner Beale, and as the gaoler was now present, he should like to ask him a few qUestions, to give him an opportunity of explain- ing anything which might appear wrong. Mr. Townsend, the Governor, then, in answer to tions, said, Bodo was a prisoner six months. He was never put for fourteen hours at a time in the potato cellar picking potatoes. I understand from the turn key that he was put there once, for three or four hours, but that was at his own requEst, because he said he would rather do that than be in his cell or walk in the yard. That was before he vas ill. I am cer " Though the budget of the receipt and expendi ture for 1844 and 1845 will present in its chapters indubitable proofs of a serious desire to effect simpli fication and economy, and especially a remarkable diminution in the total amount, it will, nevertheless, be necessary to increase a little the ordinary means in order to balance the expenses. " And an increase of the duties on inheritance and stamps has appeared the most suitable and least onerous means of obtaining this object. " However, my desire to make some redu c ti o n in other taxes will, I hope, be fulfilled, though circum stances do not permit it to be done to the extent that I could have wished. Mr. PUCKLE said that after what had been stated he should not oppose the license, but be could not help saving that the Court ought to be very careful how they established the precedent of granting licenses to places of this description. They should recollect and the proprietor, if he pleas e d, m i g ht make it one of those penny theatres,. whi c h , as they were well aware, were the greatest nui sances t h a t h a d e ve r ex itshtaetd.i n point ßu t foof for hadl f ‘ a ,h c a t t th e ygave been a license fora theatre, said by the local Ma gistrates, he should certainly have opposed the appli cation, and he feared that this li cense bein g g ranted would lead to a great many simil ar a ppli c ations nex t year.—The license was then gr an t e d. Jane Spratt, a servant in the establishment of the Marchioness of Conyngham, at Richmond, was in dicted for stealing three pairs of slippers, value 6d., the property of Henry Levi, under rather singular circumstances.—Mr. Chambers d e f ende d t h e.pr i soner.

" The account of the receipt and expenditure of the State for 1842 and the preceding years will be laid before you. The inspection the accounts will demon strate that some overplus has been applied to clear off the preceding arrears. Since the credit of the funds for the iron railroads from Amsterdam to Arnheim has been separated from the extraordinary receipts in dicated in the balance of the budget, by an inscrip tion in the second book of the Public Debt, the Go vernment still has the faculty of creating a capital of 6,000,000, to which recourse will be had in proportion as the treasury may be in need of it, though it is not possible at present to specify at what time. " The revisal of the pensions is proceeding accord ing to the basis pointed out by a special c ommissi on.

" When the Prince, in harmony with his people, seriously aims at promoting the general good, the benediction of the Almighty may be confidently hoped for." TYE NEW' MARYLEBONE TILEATRE. This new theatre, built on the site of the former licensed house, the accommodation of which, particularly of the . boxes, was not such as to give general satisfaction, is a most substantial building, and for convenience and decoration is likely to rival the best of the minors. The audience part is of a broad horse-shoe form, measuring, from front of box to box, in the widest part, thirty-four feet, the same from front of centre box to the "float" lamps, and from them to the back of the stage, forty-seven feet. The height of the proscenium is thirty-two, and the width twenty eight feet. The gallery will hold seven hundred, the shall boxes five hundred, and the pit eight hundred people, and every one will have a perfect view of the stage. The theatre has been built entirely under the direc _tion of its enterprising proprietor, Mr. Loveridge, an d he has evidently been determined that nothin g be wanting to give satisfaction, and make n t l h Laa e kt - o,enmadintoadntai. worthy the patronage of its largely eme bourhool. - The manager woilfl, no doubt , old house, -11 - Rif -- Douglas, is to take the management A RAT. with an efficient company, popular place of amusement in that —At one of the subterranean yerxhibitimoisf or Grotto, it is the INIATLOCK-BATA:—Cußious on the sides at custom to place lighted candles Mat lock-Bath, known as the High entering, which are left bur ' es : EXPLOIT riu: increasing a s Te l tl re, oinnrgeN 11: 17 8' ell r e .

The deceased resided at No. 64 Cornwall -road, Lambeth. He had formerly been in good circumstances, hut latterly was supported by his nephew. He was addicted to habitual intoxication, and between seven and eight o'clock on Saturday evening last he returned home, excessively drunk, and fell down stairs. From that time, although he had not sustained any apparent 'injury from the fall, he remained in a state of insensibility until his death, which took place on Sunday evening. Verdict— " That the deceased died from apoplexy, occasioned by a fall he received while in a state of intoxication:' The turkey fair of Aughrim took place on the 14th.

Wednesday last being the day appointed for cele brating the coming of age of Mr. Henry George Liddell, eldest son of the Hon. Henry Liddell, M.P., and grandson of Lord Ravensworth, one of the most princely and splendid fetes ever witnessed in this district, was given at Ravensworth Castle, in honour of the event. A short time before three o'clock the company began to arrive, and from that time until nearly five, they continued to do so in close succession, and at that period there could not be less than five hundred assembled beneath the festive roof of Ravensworth Castle. About half-past four o'clock, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, who at present is residi ng at t h e Castle, was conducted into the gal lery by Lord Ravensworth. Almost immediately after, the Archduke Frederick of Austria and suite arrived, and having been in the most courteous man ner received at the entrance door by Lord Ravens worth, the Hon. H. T. Liddell, &c., he was con ducted to the gallery. Soon after the company sat down to dinner, and during th e w h o l e of the time, the excellent and, effi cient band of the 61st Regiment were placed on the lawn in front, and played several popular and en livening airs. Towards the conclusion of the repast Lord Ravensworth called for a bumper toast, and proposed the health of her Majesty, which was drunk with three times three cheers and great applause. That was followed by the healths of the Queen Dowager, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and Princess Royal, the Duchess of Gloucester, and other mem bers of the Royal Family, which were all drunk with hearty cheers ; after which the noble host requested the company to fill another bumper, and called upon the Marquis of Normanby to propose a toast. The Marquis of NORMANBY then rose and spoke as follows :---I have been requested by our noble host to propose to you the next toast. If I readily accede to this request, I am at the same time perfectly aware that no one more strongly feels than Lord Ravens worth, therefore no one could more appropriately ex-- press the unexpected grace, the peculiar honour, con ferred on the family festivities by the presence of an illustrious foreigner. But, though his imperial High ness the Archduke Frederick of Austria is for the first time personally known to us, his name is already familiar to English ears as connected with the gallant profession of which he is a member; and from the situation which I had the honour to hold in the coun cils of my Sovereign at the time his Imperial High ness was engaged_ ju,active service in the East, some circumstances connected with his name were strongly impressed upon my mind and that of my colleagues, which, for the cultivation of that spirit of cordiality we all trust may long continue between the countries of England and Austria, I think it desirable should not pass unnoticed at this the first very numerous re union—though private in its character—at which since his arrival in England his Imperial Highness has had occasion to be present. It is to all of us matter of no very distant historical recollection with what in- sense anxiety were formerly watched the gallant efforts of the Austrian legions, then engaged as our intimate allies in the deadly struggle which con vulsed Europe. It is happily not necessary to revert to these dark times further than to say that the long enduring memory of the gallant deeds of the distin guished commander of those legions must be pecu liarly dear to his Imperial Highness. But it remained for the Archduke Frederick, in the bright promise of his opening career, to be the first of his family to meet their ancient allies on terms of cordial and efficient co• operation on that element which English men are accustomed to consider (perhaps somewhat presumptuously) peculiarly their national province. At that time I happened to be in a situation to see the official and confidential reports of the great naval commanders then employed there in our service, and with whom his Imperial highness acted ; and I en tertain a lively recollection of the testimony borne by them to the professional skill, the chivalrous zeal, tempered with a high sense of discipline shown by his Imperial Highness. O ne t ra i t of his Imperial Highness, as connected with these transactions, 1 can not refrain from communicating to those who may not have heard it, and recalling to the recollection of those who may. Our gracious Sovereign, with that generous desire to distinguish merit, which is with her as an innate sense of duty, readily proposed to offer to his Imperial Highness that decoration which is with us the mark of high and active public service. His Imperial Highness, with a grace which f ar excee d e d that of unqualified acceptance, professed his desire only to accept that grade of the order which would be bestowed upon officers of the same standing in our service. Thus showing that in the natural excitement of successful youth, and in spite of the supposed self estimation of exalted rank, modesty is still the never failing accompaniment of real merit. Having thus attempted to do but fair justice to that portion of his Imperial Highness's career which came within my own knowledge, I may be permitted, perhaps, in con nection with the toast which I shall have the honour to propose, to'express the great gratification that all connected with this house must feel, that in the course of the tour in which he is so creditably engaged, to examine our institutions, and to study our social cha racter, his Imperial Highness should hare been pre sent upon an occasion like this, so peculiar to our na tional habits. Of those who now stand to this house in the same situation as myself; as I am the earliest connected with it by ties of affection, I would ven ture to assure his - Imperial Highness, that as it is almost unequalled in numbers, so may it likewise challenge rivalry in family love and union. He has seen this day those who had become the ornament, and the charm, and the comfort of the homes of their adoption, re-assembled at that of their infancy with unaltered feelings and undiminished interest to hail the celebration of the reward of parents' anxious care, in the opening pro mise of one who is to continue in his person the re spect and attachment which the family name has so long commanded and secured. It would, indeed, be an unpardonable omission on my part if I did not call the attention of his Imperial highness to the kind footing upon which we have been favoured with the presence of an Illustrious daughtev_of our own Royal line, who, during the whole of her life has, by the practice of every feminine virtue, ensured the universal respect of the country, and by the charm of her man ners has added a grace to every society which she honours with her presence. I will not venture to ex press in her Royal Highness's presence how much the affectionate interest she has ever shown towards this family has added warmth to the feelings of devoted attachment which they all entertain towards her Royal Highness. The observant eve of His Imperial Highness will, I feel confident in anything which may strike his eye as new, not see cause to regret his pre sence here this day ; and on the part of my father-in law and the family, with a deep and endearing sense of the honour he has vouchsafed to us, I propose " The health of his Imp er i a l Hi g h ness the Archduke Frede rick of Austria."—(Cheers.) The toast having been drunk amidst loud and en thusiastic cheering, his Imperial Highness being un able to speak fluently in English, desired - Lord Ravensworth to acknowledge the compliment which had been paid him, and his Lordship did so in happy and appropriate terms. The Noble President next proposed the health of Mr. Henry George Liddell, whose majority they were then met to celebrate, and expressed his gratification at his having been honoured drunk onoured by the company of so many noble and distinguished great personages. The toast was with enthu siasm. Mr. H. G. Liddell returned thanks, and_co_n eluded by proposing the healt h of L_ ord and Lady Ravensworth, which was received with rapturousap plause. The Duchess of Glouce ster ana suite then retired, and the tables were soon deserted for the allery, which formed a most delightful promen a d e. uedaini u inte at The sle Grand Duke of Austria and suite retired t o th e saloon. Coffee and tea were afterwards sery the east end of the gallery. His Imperial lI repaired to the gallery about eight o'clock, d Duchess of Glouce s t er entere d soon afterwa r d s. quadrille band from Newcastle had been engaged f or the_ evening.

Thus concluded this s pl endid fete, which afforded the highest gratifi cation to all who had the honour of attending it. LATE MARQUIS WELLESLEY. The following lines were written by his Lordship, and i n t en d ed as an inscription for the pedestal of the statue of the Duke of Wellington, about to be erected by the citizens of London : " Conservata, tuis Asia, atque Europa triumphis, invict um h e ll o to co l uere ducem. Nunc umbrata, geris, civili tempos quercu ut desit famm gl or i a nu ll a tum." These lines have been thus rendered by Lord Wellesley himself: 7- _ Eui . ope and Asia, saved by thee, proclaim Invincible in war thy deathless name.— Now round thy brows the civi c oa k we tw i ne, That every earthly glory may be thin e !" The London papers persevere in assuring the pub lic that the Court meditates an early visit to Brighton; we are therefore compelled to repeat our last week's contradiction, and to state that notwithstanding the flying visit of the Lord Chamberlain, by whom some trifling alterations were ordered in the interior ar rangements r C rangements of the Palace, not the remotest hi n t a h r been given that GuarW likely to become its occupants.—Brighton -'..-e- , 1_..-, 0 I
