The collection includes many distinguished pictures, and there will be found chef-d'oeuvres by the following eminent. masters, via.:-- Van Asselvn A. Van Dyck P. P.

They are now on their way from Antwerp, and will be ar ranged for public inspection during the week previous to the sale ; but, as a concluding remark, Mr. Robins is anxious to impress upon the elllectors of -ancient carved furniture, that the objects which he has so imperfectly described are not to be classed among the " modern antiquities" which deluge the market at the present time. They comprise a part of the pa trimonial possessions of the highly respectable vendor, and have remained during centuries in his family. Covent-garden, November. PIMLICATIONS.

Ludlow. SALE.S BY AUCTION. A FREEHOLD PROPERTY OF CONSIDERABLE MAGNITUDE IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE, OF THE EARL OF LUCIE. THE WOODCHESTER PARK ESTATE; INFINITELY THE FINEST LANDED INVESTMENT IN THE MARKET. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the honour to announce that he Lai been favoured by instructions from the Noble Earl to SELL by PUBLIC COMPETITION, in the month of MAT NEXT, ' THE MAGNIFICENT ESTATE, WITH A PRINCELY DEII ESNE, familiaras THE WOODCHESTER ESTATE, in the rich part of * Gloucestenhire, near to Stroud, .the pro perty of THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF DUCIE. The present object is naerel3 to awaken in good time the atten tion of these who have the means, :Lad are anxious to avail themselves of an Investment infinitely surpassing any purchase that has been in the marketsince the memorable Sales of THE LATE EARL OF ORMONDE. Early in the Spring Mr. Robins will endeavour to enlist the public attention by a very faithful announcement, which will necessarily enter more into particulars than the condensed statement that follows. It is accounted THE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF GLOUCESTER SHIRE; at present it will suffice to observe that the Mansion and Offices (of the pure Bath Stone) were created at an expense exceeding One Hundred Thousand Pounds ; it is seated in the beauteous vale of Gloucester, and in A PARK LUXURIANT•BEYOND DESCRIPTION, NOT YIELDING IN ITS NATURAL BEAUTY TO ANYTHING CONTEMPORANEOUSIN ENGLAND. IT EXTENDS TO FOURTEEN HUNDRED ACRES, AND IN WHICH THE WOODS AND THE WATERS are for ever contending for the supremacy ; and this, be it remembered, at a distance of only three hours and a-half ride from London, THE ESTATE EXTENDS FOUR MILES IN LENGTH, AND IS MORE THAN FIVE MILES BROAD, including Lots of first-rate Farms, with a tenantry quite un exceptionable. The value about THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS. There is connected with the Woodchester Property TWO ADVOWSONS—WOODCHESTER AND FROCESTER, with capital abodes. THE ENTIRE VILLAGE OF NYMPHFIELD, AND POLITICAL INFLUENCE EXTENDING OVER TWELVE HUNDRED INDEPENDENT YEOMEN. It is believed Mr. Robins has now set forth enough to incline all those who think with him that terra firma is the first security in the world, to give it their immediate and serious attention ; and since THE ADMIRABLE AND STATESMANLIKE . MANNER , by which SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART., has settled and put to rest for ever, the INTRICATE QUESTION OF THE CORN-BILL, there can now be no doubt in the minds even of those who Were sceptical before, that land, the rental from which is now fixed upon an immoveable rock of safety, is preferable to Three per Cents., at a very• unhealthy price. Mr. Robins will conclude by inviting such capitalists as are in search of the best investment extant, to give him personally the opportunity to explain the minutia connected with the Woldchester property, which he has carefully surveyed, and consequently is competent to add considerably to this very im. perfect representation to those who may do him the honour to make inquiry. The plan is just completed. Covent- Garden, November. FOR EMIGRATION TO THE CAPE —NO TAXES. 9110 BE LET, PASTURE and ARABLE A. FARMS, of from 1,000 to 5,000 Acres each, at. ONE SHILLING PER ACRE, AND NO TAXES, situate in a genial climate at THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, not two degrees from the mouth of the Knysna, which is a ne• vigable river for vessels of 400 tons, ten miles inland; seventy miles from the port of Beaufort, and three hours' ride only from the beautiful district of Swartland. The Land is principally pas ture, with a few thousand acres for corn and wine : it is admir ably adapted to depasture Sheep. and the Merino Wool is highly appreciated in England. The pasture is quite equal to fat beasts upon, and the wheat produced upon the arable lands is not to be surpassed at Mark•lane. There are Vineyards, and the Cape \Vine is very fine. The Madras Cavalry are entirely supplied from the Cape, as well as the Mauritius and St. Helena. Slabberts Poort is a most improveable Estate, and in the hands of Englishmen, or more especially. a few FIRST-RATE SCOTCH FARMERS, would soon become invaluable. Its position is one of the first importance, being on the direct road to the frontier, and in a position where a profitable business might be carried on inde pendent of farming. It is near the forests of the Knysna and the ports of Masse' Bay and River Knysna. The latter port will probably soon be opened by the completion of a projected road from Beaufort district to it. It is very eligible in many other respects; vessels of 400 tons burthen can enter at all times, and take cargoes on board four miles up the river. There are a great *umber of ENGLISH SHEEP FARMERS, with moderate capital, spy from 1,0001. to 3,0001. each, who have, within the last two years, located themselves in the Colony ; and it is not a little gratifying to behold the fine flocks of well and cross bred sheep, 30 abundantly scattered about; it is surprising to see how well the animals look—sheep as well as cattle. This is a convincing proof that the grazing qualities of the land are adapted for cattle as well as sheep. The wool flocks are fast increasing in all parts of the Colony, and, it is said. from the frontiers alone, ONE MILLION OF POUNDS, AT LEAST, WILL BE EXPORTED THIS - YEAR, and a corresponding export from this end of the Colony. • The Cape will eventnally, and ere long, FORCE ITSELF INTO NOTICE, for the investment of capital and introduction of lal;our, in spite of any opposition. Emigration here, with mode► ate capital, must be certain and successful. THE NEW TARIFF IS A MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE, and the time of its introduction most apropos. The Colony will now export in large quantities Salt Provisions—Fat Oxen are procured there at 41., or lid. per lb., the hide worth 20s. This is a brief outline of the advantages in perspective for men of character and small capital, and if they produce good references will have the Farms FREE FROM RENT TUE FIRST YEAR, and then for seven years at ONE SHILLING PER ACRE PER ANNUM. The prospect is even more cheering than to Australia, where such rapid fortunes are being made.

(Abridged from the Glasgow Saturday Post.) Thursday, a meeting of the Noblemen, Gentlemen, Justices of the Peace, &c., of the county of Renfrew, in compliance with the requisition of the Lord- Lieutenant and the County Convener, to take into consideration the condition of the unemployed popu lation, with the view of devising means for their relief, was held in the hall of. the County Buildings, Paisley, at one o'clock. There was a large attendance of the gentlemen of the county at the hour of meeting. On the motion of Lord Kelburne M. Stewart, Esq., M.P., Vice-Lieutenant of the County, was called to the chair, who said, he would not detain them with any general remarks, but proceed to inform them that the Committee appointed at last meeting had met, and taken as well as they eould, a v i ew of the pressing distress of this county in its unemp l o yed population, and had come to certain opinions which would now be laid before them by Sheriff Campbell. Sheriff CAMPBELL, in laying before the meeting the Report of the Committee, i n f o rmed them that these resolutions had not been adopted without consider able discussion. The Report showed that the number of the unemployed in Paisley was greatly on the in crease, so much so, that withi n th e mo nth 1,333 per sons had been added to the list, with the prospect of an additional increase. That 'Ol6 expenditure of the Relief Committee was increased in proportion, and that notwithstanding the assistance theyreceived from the London Committee, they had an alarming defi ciency every week, which they required to raise by local effort. Under these circumstances the Com mittee called upon the landed proprietors of the county to come forward on behalf of the destitute, and by a voluntary assessment upon all description of fixed property within the county, to endeavour to preserve the lives of the unemployed people. After reading the Report, the Sheriff begged to add his own personal experience as a witness of the prevailing distress during the last eight w ee ks, in conjunction with his friend the Chief Magistrate of Paisley: He had been brought in contact with labourers who had been reduced to a state of starvation and painful dis tress, which could not be adequately _described. They had all got a very small and very precarious supply dealt out to them from day to day, but it was scarcely sufficient to keep body and soul together, and what was to become of them hereafter, depended altogether on what the county should resolve upon to-day. : Be hwishch sieat,hleie held be in his hand from the begged to call their atten tion to es a letter in g wn Honourable the Earl of Glasgow, expressing his sym pathy with the object of this meeting, and expressing a hope that they would not undertake too much, lest they should fai l in their efforts ; nor too little, lest fbre r they overshoot their object. Mr. WALLACE, of Kelly, moved as an amend ment in the Report, that after the word Paisley, the towns of Greenock, Pollokshaws Johnstone, and o th e r places in the county, should be added. He moved this addition because the Report only referred to Paisley, and because it was desirable, as that Re port would go to the Government and the public, that the extent of the distress s h ou ld b e k nown . Provost BAIN, of Greenock, laid before the meet ing the following memorial : Unto the Noblemen, Commissioners of Supply, Justices of the Peace, and Magistrates of Towns in the shire of Renfrew, in general meeting assembled. The Memorial of the Unemployed in Greenock, consisting of Joiners, Carpen ters, Engineers,Blacksmiths, and Labourers. HUMBLY SHOWETIi, pfaS ourt through ......„.......... ____ , the want of That we have been suffering privati ons to a fear f u l extent these employment. Thousands ntont h o s townsmen are sunk to the lowest depths of misery, being destitute of the common necessaries of life. In the , month of March last, a census was taken of th e une m ployed in the town of Greenock, when no less than 900 able-bodied men, and upwards of 2,000 dependents, were enrolled in one day, and the destitution has been greatly on the in crease ever since that time. Thousands have had no thing to subsist on, but by the sale a n d --- pawning of their effects ; a great many others have been entirely depending on the Relief Committee up to the month of September in work at l s. per clay, f or six days in the week, and since that time their whole living has been from the soup kitchen. In the month of March our worthy Provost and Magistrates, with a number of other benevolent gen tlemen of the town, got up subscriptions for our re lief. On the 19th of October last, the subscriptions amounted to 3,4221. 18s. 6d. About that time the Relief Committee were under the necessity of relin quishing the work, and giving what they co u ld i n f oo d from the soup kitchen, and that in small quantities, not exceeding one meal per day. I --'rom the 20th of September to the 20th of October, th,_, 3 had on an average on their list about 2,880 D . ers cms, and their expenditure did not exceed 1701., which is not more than five-pence per week for each individual. At the same time they had not more than one-half of the unemployed in the town on their list, as the following statement will show : On the 27th of October there was a second census of the unemployed taken, an d the following is the re sult of the return from nine out of ten districts : Able bodied men, 1,304; of this number 829 were married, and had 1,962 children under twelve years of age, and 684 above twelve years of age, making a total of 4,849. The district from which no return was made was one of the worst, and a great many other places were missed, and many workmen have been paid off since that time ; many of those who are working, arc only employed three days per week. Your memorialists are fully convinced that these facts are sufficient to show you that misery and des titution- rage to a great ext en t i n th e town of Greenock. We therefore fondly hope that you will take our case into your immediate serious considera tion, and use youi utmost exertions to alleviate our distress, seeing that • the winter is approaching, and thouiands, of virtuous and industrious families have neither clothes nor bedding, nor wherewith to pro cure fuel, and the relief given in food is not more than one meal per day. Gentlemen, it is work we want,—we do not want to eat the bread of idleness, or of charity, but of la bour. Nothing gives us more pain than for our chil dren to know that they are living on charity; we there fore pray that you will give all the aid you can to the Relief Committee of Greenock, so that they may be enabled to set us all, or as many as possible, to work. We would also ask you to use all your in fluence with her Majesty's Government, in order that they may grant a sum of money for our relief, without delay, as we fear that if left in our present position, disease, crime, and death will ensue. _ Gentlemen, we leave our case in your hands, in the full 'assurance that you will take immediate steps to have our distress alleviated. Signed in name and by appointment of a meeting of the unemployed in Greenock, this fifth day of November, 1842 years. (Signed) JAMES J3L ACK, Chairman. . Aftifieading the above, he said, in reference to th? memorial just read to them, he was sorry to say that he firmly believed the number of the unemployed in Greenock was greater than that stated in the memo rial. The number stated was 5,000 persons , but there was one district from which no return had been made, and they were not taken in account in this calcula tion. From the number drawing relief out of the funds, and from his knowledge of the fact that there were many of the unemployed living on the sale of their furniture and clothing, and who had hitherto kept back, but who were nevertheless suffering dis tress to a fearful extent, he could conceive the number , exceeded 5,000 persons. And the number, he was afraid, would be speedily greatly increased; if the numbers continued to augment as they had done for the last six months, there was no saying to what they might in the end amount to. On 28th Sept. the num ber on the list was 551 families, or 2,492 individuals% on sth of Oct. they had increased to 606 families, or 2,730 persons ; and the number yesterday was 742 families, or 3,302 persons. As to the amount of relief which the Committee dispensed to the sufferers,' he might state that it went at the rate of 751. per week. That expenditure consisted of soup, bread, potatoes, and herrings, and nothing was given in money. Now, the extent to which that dist r ib u ti on wen t in reliev ing the distress of those depending on it was consi derably less than one penny per day to each individual. It might rather be said to amount to about 4-sths of a id., and even with that limited distribution the Committee found they had gone beyond their means, and were in debt. With regard to their prospects for the future, he might inform the meeting that they proposed to raise 1,5001. by voluntary assessment, and that sum, even were they capable of raising it, would do no more than continue them at the present rate of 4-sths of a ld., and would not enable them to give one farthing for clothes, fuel, or house rent during the in clement winter months, and he was sorry to say he had good reason to apprehend that the number of the destitute would go on increasing during the winter months. Every trade and department of business was in a state of the greatest depression, and there was not the smallest symptom of progression. The total sums already raised in Greenock were as follows :—By voluntary contribution, 3,5601. If they added to this the sum expected, 1,5001., they would have a sum of 5,060/. Now, the assessment for the parochial poor this year was much larger than usual —it would amount to 5,8401. The sums added gave a total of 10,9001., say 11,0001., since the month of January last. That sum was equal to an assessment upon the entire rental in the town of no less than 3s. in the pound. As to anything to be expected from the town of Greenock by the proposed county assess ment, it was a delusion—it could not be expected. They had had their case repeatedly laid before ihe Go vernment, and without effect. They were, therefore, without the means of giving relief to the additional claims to come upon them, and he did not see how they were to get through the winter unless they got support in some shape or other. Dr. BURNS, . n the name of the Presbytery of Paisley, as the present Moderator of that assembly, submitted a series of resolutions and other documents for their serious consideration, on the subject of the unemployed at Paisley, which had been adopted by them at a meeting held yesterday: The amount of relief given to each individual amounted to no snore than the suisi mentioned by the Provost of Greenock, viz., something less than one penny per day, or about fivepence per week. He impressed upon the gentle-. men present the importance of the facts and papers which he handed in, and concluded amidst the plaudits of the auditors. Mr. APFEE, of Langhouse, supported the memorial and statements of his friend the Provost of Greenock. Provost CORnET, of Pollokshaws, handed in a me morial from the unemployed of that town, complain ing of the severe distress, and showing that there was no visible means of relieving the increasing numbers of persons out of work and in destitution. The CifAIRMIN proposed the adoption of the Re port of the Relief Committee, in a short resolution. It was to the effect that the meeting agree to vote the sum of 1,5001., to be raised by voluntary assessment on the rental of the county, for the relief of the un employed, appoint a Committee to see the same pro perly appropriated, and approve at the same time of emigration on a proper and well-regulated system, as a means of ultimately relieving the country. In support of the motion, Mr. Stewart alluded to the ha pressive statement of facts by Dr. Burns and the Provost of Greenock, and spoke of an ultimate appli cation to Government, as with it, would rest the responsibility for the condition of the people. Mr. WALLACE, of Kelly, said—From what had been stated by his Hon. Friend the Chairman, he per ceived that it was proposed to consider the distress in two points of view, first, with regard to its immediate relief, and, second, an appeal to Government for more permanent and effectual aid. With regard to the first proposition in the resolution, he had nothing to object, but in regard to the second he was prepared to bring forward a series of resolutions for the purpose of bringing before this county, the country, and the Go vernment, the desperate state of the country. The resolutions were as follow : Ist. " That in consequence of want of employment in their trades and callings, there are at this time thousands of persons in absolute destitution, and this without any legal claim for relief on any parties whatsoever, in each of the towns of Greenock and Paisley, as well as similar proportional numbers in Johnstone, Pollokshaws, and other smaller towns and villages in the county of Renfrew. Therefore, it is the opinion of this meeting that an immediate applica tion should be made to Government, to issue such sums of public money as will be sufficient to give employment to those willing to work ; or, failing this, as will be sufficient to afford food, and such other aid in clothing and fuel as shall be necessary to preserve lite. For which modes of supporting the destitute with public money there are ample and abundant precedents in a Parliamentary Return which had been moved for by. Mr. Wallace, the Member for Greenock, and which return is now before this meeting, and is No. 577 of the last session ; and which shows that in the year 1826, 16,960/. 16s. sd. was gifted from the public purse, to those in distress, in consequence of want of employment ; the same Parliamentary Re • turn shows that 15,0001. was advanced in the years 1826 and 1827, on account of distress among the operative manufacturers. Also, that 40,0001. was given in the years 1831, and 1832, for the employment the poor and the relief of distress in Ireland ; that in 1825 2,816/. 16s. Bd. was given for a similar pur pose : that in 1836 2,518/. Bs. id. was given on ac count of the failure of crops in Ireland : that in 1837 1,0441. ss. Bd. was also given for the latter purpose i that in 1837 6,7291. Its. Bd. was given for the relief of the Highlands and Western Islands of Scotland : that in 1839 2,501/. 10s. sd. was given to relieve dis tress in the West of Ireland—also a further sum to Ireland of 376/. 12s. 3d.: and in 1842 that 500/. was advanced from the public purse for the relief of dis tress in Paisley ; besides 125,321/. for the relief of distress occasioned by hurricanes, cholera, earth quakes, fevers, &c. &c., in the West Indies, the Me diterranean, and in England, Ireland, and Scotland. 2d. " It further appears, from another portion of the Parliamentary Return already alluded to, that in the years 1826, 1830, and 1842, large quantities of wearing apparel, shoes, stockings, blankets, rugs, &c. were sent, at the public expense, from the Government Ordnance Stores, for the relief of the distressed inha bitants in the following towns in England, viz., Man goehdale, Oldham, Ski ton, Ash chester, ton-under-Lyric, Blackburn, Bolton, Bradford, Burn ley, Huddersfield , Dewsbury , Stockport ; also, to the Strangers' Friend Society, the Mendicity Society, Spitalfields Refuge for the Houseless Poor, and in year, 1842, to the Spitalfield Weavers. " It also appears from another part of the same return that in the years 1835, 1836, 1837, and 1839, that potatoes and oatmeal to above the value of 6,8001. was given to relieve distress in certain parts of Ireland, and that a further sum of 1,8081. 2s. 2d. was also given from the public purse, for the employment of the desti tute in certain districts of Ireland. 3d. " That as no portion of the said distribution of wearing apparel, shoes, stockings, blankets, rugs, &c., were sent to any part of Scotland, nor any oatmeal, or potatoes, Or public money to employ those out of work and destitute in Scotland, their present claims for relief to Scotland may well be insisted on, and therefore this meeting hereby agrees to apply to her Majesty's Government, for such immediate supplies of all the above articles as can be spared for distribution among the destitute in this county — seeing that however great the destitution may have been in the towns of England to which the above enumerated articles were sent, that neither the inha bitants of those, nor the inhabitants of Ireland, could have greater need of national aid and assistance than many thousands now have in the several towns and localities already mentioned in the county of Renfrew. ' 4th, " That a copy of these resolutions be signed by the Chairman, and be transmitted to Sir James Graham, Chief Seeretary of the Home Department, to be by him laid before her Majesty's Ministers." The Hon. Gentleman supported his resolutions in a speech of considerable spirit. Mr. MCFEu seconded the motion. Lord KELBURNE said he was not satisfied in se conding the proposal of their Hon. Chairman so far 'as it went. He would recommend, at the same time, that the suggestion of an Hon. Friend on the left of the chair, that a petition should be forwarded to her Majesty's Government. to enforce that assess ment, should be acted upon. They had no power. in the meantime to enforce such an assessment, and without that he was much afraid that they would find great difficulty in raising the sum proposed. He did not despair of seeing before long a well ar ranged system of emigration established; but in the meantime there was no well arranged system, and in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred. those who emi grated found themselves worse off than in their own country. He was of opinion, too, that notwithstand ing all the inconvenience and objection to a Poor-law in Scotland, it had become yearly of more necessity. 'Without specifying any direct means, he was for en forcing upon Government that they should provide an adequate support for the poor of Scotland. Before proceeding to any other business, they should first dis pose of the proposal of their Hon. Chairman. Mr. MAXWELL , jun., of Pollok, considered they should take up the question of a voluntary assess ment first. The CHAIRMAN again read his resolution, and spoke at some length in favour of the question of emigra tion, and on the necessity for an adequate provision for the poor. Provost HENDERSON, of Paisley, previous to the question of the amount of assessment being fairly laid before the meeting, wished to put a question to the Provost of Greenock. It was to ascertain how much assistance they would require from _the proposed assessment. Provost BAIN was not prepared to say how much they would require. 3001. a week he was satisfied would by no means give adequate relief to those out of employ. If it was understood that the proposed assessment was meant to apply to property in towns, he begged distinctly to inform th e m th a t it wou ld b e a complete and total failure in Greenock. Bailie SMITH showed that it would be quite imprac ticable so far as Paisley was concerned. He proved that proprietors were paying at the rate of Gs. Bd. in the pound of the rental- they were at present receiv ing, and that it would be impossible for them to give anything additional. So far as the - raising of 1,5001. was concerned, he considered that it would be a mere drop in the bucket in meeting the distress. Provost HENDERSON explained that his reason for putting the question' to Provost Bain, was to show that the sum proposed was far too little. He was the more convinced of this when he looked to the numbers of the unemployed. This week they had to provide for the increased number of 153 persons, and he was sure from the number of applicants that could not be put off, that by the next week the list would be greatly increased. They would require the sum of 5001. weekly for two months at least. Now, their as sessment of 1,500/, even were it raised, would only give one fourth of the sum required for ten weeks, though the Londm Committee stqiplied all the rest, leaving nothing for Greenock, Pollokshaws, John stone, or Renfrew. He begged to remind them, at the same time, in connection with the proposed as sessment, that it would require as much machinery and expense, in the way of collection, as would mom a much larger amount. They of the towns had no right, it was true, to dictate to the proprietors of th e landed property of the county; but this he could as sure them, along with Bailie Smith and the Provost of Greenock, that nothing was to be expected from Paisley or the other towns. _ Lord ICELBURNE said, after what had been said by his friend the Provost of Paisley, and the gentlemen from Greenock, that the sum of 1,5001. was quite in adequate, and that the expense of collection would be almost the same for a larger sum, he would propose 3,0001. as an amendment. _ _ Mr. ALEXANDER, of Southbar, opposed the proposal of Lord Kelburne. Sir W. M. NAPIER, was entirely of the opinion that even the sum of 3,0001. was no more than a drop in the bucket towards meeting the impending distress, He reminded the meeting that they had expended 22,0001. last year. He was of opinion that in addition to their vote of 3,0001., which, after all, might not be raised, a deputation should be sent off to Government to lay the condition of the people before them, and to demand immediate aid. Mr. MAXWELL would not oppose the proposal for 3,0001. after the arguments as to collection, &c., brought forward by Provost Henderson. It would be proper, he considered, to explain to the Govern ment the condition in which they were placed, and at the same time it occurred to him that if they assessed themselves to . the amount of 3,000/. it would be the stronger evidence of the amount of the distress. The motion being put, there appeared —for the motion for 1,5001., B—for the sum. of 3,0001., 7. The Chairman gave his voice for the motion, which in this way made them equal, and the sum of 3,000/. was ultimately voted. Mr. WALLACE brought forward his resolutions. After a short discussion, the resolutions were put, Mr. Wallace refusing to alter, soften, or postpone them, and carried by large injorities, only three hands being held up in opposition to the first. The second and third were carried almost unanimously. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up. SIR GEORGE WALKER.—It is our melancholy duty to record the decease of an accomplished soldier and a worthy man in all the relations of life. Sir George Walker, Lieutenant Governor of the Royal Hospital at Chelsea, expired on Tuesday morning, at his residence in that place, in the 78th year of his age. Ms life was early devoted to the service of his country; and in all the various stations that he filled, and they were not a few, he acquitted himself with honour and probity. The wounds that he received at the storming of Badajoz (where his conduct was described by the Duke of Wel lington in his dispatches as " highly conspicuous") were such as no man before him had ever sur vived ; and in the thanks given to the army tin that occasion, the conduct at the battle of Vimeira of his regiment, with which he threw a French column of 3,000 or 4,000 men into confusion, from which they never recovered, and followed them for between three and four miles, was not forgotten. He has left a widow and family of ehildien. KENDAL TRADE.—The demand for goods here has not increased. Some houses are complaining of a falling off in orders. We have been informed that more is likely to be done here in trowserins. If the demand for these articles increases or maintains em ployment for the weavers, it will be of great advantage to the town. Wools continue flat. The sale of fine wool in Liverpool, on Thursday, was heavy ; but a s the quality was not particularly good, it cann o t be taken e as a criterion of price. The buyers were numerous. The low wools were not to .be sold till yesterday. Fleece wools were selling at low pric es .

Captain Pring, of the Thunderer, and Captain 11,. Jenkinson, from Dover Castle, had the honour of joining the Royal dinner party in the evening. This morning, at a quarter before ten o'clock, her Majesty walked With his Royal Highness on the beach to liingsdown, which is a neat little fishing village, about a mile from the Castle. His Roy Highness asked several. questions of the old weather beaten fishermen who had just landed from herring fishing-. Her Majesty and the Prince afterwards passed by the Coast Guard station, and inspected the old sea=wall on the top of the cliff, and returned to the ' :Castle by Mrs. Herridge's hut on the beach. In the afternoon ; shortly before three o'clock, her Majesty and his Royal Highness again walked out in the neighbourhood of the Castle for a short time. The weather, both 0-day and yesterday, has been too severe for the Royal infants to leave the Castle. Her Majesty's 18-gun sloop, , Captain Warren, from the East Indies, came into the Downs in the night, and anchored off Walmer Castle ; at half past seven o'clock she saluted her Majesty, and shortly before nine o'clock weighed anchor, and proceeded to the northward. To-morrow, if the weather proves fine, her Majesty and the Prince will visit Sandwich. Lady Portman takes her departure to-morrow. Covers for the Royal dinner party this evening will be laid for thirteen, the 'only additions to the Royal suite being Mr. and the Hon. Mrs. Anson. Her Majesty will leave \Winer for Brighton, ac cording to the present arrangement, on the 22d inst. - --- THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE. The long-announced revival of Dryden's opera of King Arthur, with Purcell's music, took place at this theatre last - evening, and its success must have equalled the most sanguine anticipations of the manager. For this success it is indebted mainly to its scenery, and to the admirable and efficient wan ner in which the chorus singers not only sing, but act their parts. It will be in the recollection of our readers that this piece was revived some years ago at the old English Opera-house, on which occasion Miss Kelly' acted the part of the blind girl, Emmeline, the betrothed of King Arthur, who recovers her sight through the intervention of Merlin who commissions Philidel, the Spi r it o f th e Air, to remove the film from Emmeline's eyes. The part of Emmeline was sustained last evening by Mrs. Nisbett, and beautifully did she depict the sensations of the blind girl on her first acquisition of the power of sight. She did not exhibit the intense pathos which Miss Kelly threw into the part; the pre dominant feeling in her breast was one of overflowing joy, happiness, and admiration, and never was th e exuberant overflowing of uncontrollable delight more heartily delineated. Miss P. Horton, as Philidel, sang and acted with exquisite taste. We cannot but remember the sylph-like elegance, the grace and pro.' priety of her Ariel, and her Philidel is quite equal to it. She is par excellence " the little airy sprite" of the present day. Her solo at the_ conclusion of the first act was rapturously encored, being the only solo in the opera which received that honour. The Shepherds' Chorus at the opening of the second act was also encored, and most deservedly ; and the repe tition of the magnificent chorus, " Britons Strike Home," was most vodiferously called for, but the call has not complied with, in consequence, we sup pose, of its being incompatible with the extensive scenic arrangements. This splendid chorus is decidedly the gem of the opera. The scene representsan open country, sol diers arrive in straggling parties. Suddenly the trumpets sound.. The stage is filled with armed men drawn up in battle array. They sing the chorus, accompanying the words by appropriate action, going through all the evolutions preparatory to battle, and at its conclusion rush on to the , charge, squadrons of armed men continuing to advance as the scene closes. Nothing, could exceed the enthusiasm excited by this scene, and we hope that, for the future, the call for its repetition, which will not fail to be made every evening, will be complied with. It is ' impossible, by description, to convey the remotest idea of the scenic wonders of this truly •mapificent spec tacle: It is a tale of enchantment. the contending Parties being supported by Merlin, the British En chanter, on the one side, and Osmond (Mr. H. Phillips), the Saxon Magician, on the other ; and the wonders performed by the actual worthies themselves could not have exceeded the wonders performed at the command of their respective representatives last evening. Demons rising from the earth,• or descending from the middle air ; open plains, changing suddenly into en • chanted forests, in which every branch was the abode of a fiend, who glared horridly upon those entangled in the mazes of the wood, or withrew under cover of t es re-echoingnl splendid ndfcriodhsatn palaces, changing at the leaves, as suited the purpose of the enchanter who o h o fna once w et 0 , o hrtskahupeendpry-telhigte peasantry regions r e m fs e ; tot t a e n a t the etij groves,oe e o n chorusbe coming where sirens and dryads sought by every allurement to withdraw the hero from the path of virtue and honour, suddenly disappearing at the touch of the charm-destroying wand of Merlin, wielded by Philidel ; these are a few of the scenic wonders accomplished.. The piece is, in fact, a succession of magnificent dio rainic effects, many of them completely . new to the stage. Of these, one of the most admirable is the moving diorama of a battle in the first act—a more stirring representation has never been exhibited. At the fall of the curtain the piece was announced by Mr. Anderson for repetition every evening, amidst the loudest applause. The house was crowded. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE, BOLTON. —Yesterday (Tues day:) morning, about one o'clock, one of the town s lamplighters discovered that a fire had broken out at the mill of Messrs. Hasleden and Co., Span'-lane, Bolton, and immediately gave an alarm. Several of the police-officers, with Mr. Boyd, the superinten dent, and others, were immediately on the spot ; and six fire-engines were brought out, viz., Mr. Hard castle's, of Firwood ; Mr. Ormrod's, cotton -spinn er the Bumble, Jessie, and Globe, of Great Bolton, and the Victoria of Little Bolton.
