If the Jury pre sented that i an y lands or tenerAents derived benefit from the E. ewe rs, the Commissioners had the power to rate them , eve en although the occupier should be un known, a - k i d.

It was therefore unim.. portaut . :br hi s arguir,ent whether Mr. Tracy was the occu.:pla .. or r lot, although as regarded that point, he w -as y'r eparei Ito ...xintend. that Mr. Tracy was in law the o cc upier of that part of the prison which did not cons - , ''.:cute th :e. Governor's house. He ordered the locati 'cin of tb •e different prisoners. He directed the g eller . it man a gement of that part of the prison, and , therefo re ex 43.1 •cised such acts of ownership in that part of the p. risott as to constitute him in point of law the occupier. The A. 'To: RNET-GENERAL briefly replied. The Co 'UB T reserved its judgment. BAt L COURT.—(THIS DAY.) The Gr at.4l Jury of the county of Middlesex was sworn in this morning. His Lordship briefly ad dressed th a Grand Jury, after which they retired to their roon 1. THE QUISEI ( V. CHART. ES DEVON, AND ROBERT SULU- VAN, ESQ. Mr. Erl :e moved !Or a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue to the defendants, com manding tl aem tO•grs Int a warrant of distress, to levy a poor-rate made IA it'ain the district of Hampton-court Palace. 'l' he case v: as similar to that in which Lady Em meline Po c, asonbyw a s a defendant, and which was decided by the C( flirt of Qt teen's Bench against the defendant. A rate wt is made or ten or twelve other persons not included i a the fora ter rate on the 14th of April. On the 16th of July they were summoned to appear before Ch. irles De von, and Robert Sullivan, and Mr. Carp( inter, a,e Magistrates of the district. The two former -Magistrates met at the Red Lion, but they refused to grant a warrant of distress, st sting at they would not be justified. in doing s( ), unless mandamus was issued by the Court of Queen's Bench. The Crown officers it seemed, ha , I express ed dissatisfaction as to their lity, notwi tbstandin g the decision which had been given by thr: Court of Queen's Bench in the case of Lady Emeli .ne Pon: winby, and an indemnity to the Magistrates was de fr Landed from the overseers. This Mr. Erie contencletl was not necess'ary, the same question h a ving be , im already decided, and the Court granted t tie rule. S LADE V. Tit sEARL OF WALDIZGEAVE. Mr. in ti ' - tis case applied fora distringas to proceed to t outlawry :4 rains t the defendant. The applica tion was fi ninded on an affidavit, whichstated that appli cations had been ma% le to Mr. George Robins, the defendant 's agent, and to Mr. 'Pearson, his attorney, who inform ed the deponent that he (the defendant) was out of :the jurisdiction of the Court ; and Pearson told him triat he had a ry emorandum of the debt. On the 20tI i of July a wri t of summolis was issued, and an application was ma de by Mr. Pearson to enter an appearance, which he refused. On the 28th July a similar a pplication in. writing was made to Dr. Daniel, a ri alative of, the, defendant, to which no an swer was, ret urned. On tb e 30th August, a clerk called at Strawberry Bill, the defendant's former residence, He saw the housekeeper, who informed him that the Earl of Wat iegrave was residing in Italy, but that if a copy of the writ was left with he; she would have it forwarded to him. Mr. Justice PATTES()II*—Was riot this case before me in chamber' ? Mr. PEACOC it—The application in chamber was for the purpos e of compelling an appearance ; but your Lordship then stated the a pplication must be for the purpose of proceeding to outlawry. The appli cation is now made in th 2t shape.—Application granted. The Court r ose before /2 , o'clock, there being no other business t) be disposed of to. day. COXMON . PLEAS .--(THIS DAY,) The Court sat for the firs I day this term at Nisi Prins in the now Court, C--1 uildhall (London), when several undefeaded actions having been disposed of by Mr. Justice Cresswell and common Juries, the Court rose at half-past twel a o'clock. EXCREQUER COI YRT-THIS DAY. EVANS V. NJ :CUOMO:N.I. This was an action again zt the defendant for the recovery of compensation for the non-delivery of goods consigned to his care.. The defendant is the ?x: tensive shipowner and wharfinger in the City. ' It: appeared that the goods hat been sent out of the) West India Docks to be shipped for Canto n, on board the George the Fourth, a vessel 1 iek ,nging to the defendant. After they had been bi vright to the docks, however, they were placed :1)' mistake on board another ship called the t.; ophia, which sailed with them for Bombay. The action was after wards instituted age inst the defendant ; and the simple question. was, v ihether the Dock Company, or the officers of the Sc 4)hia, or the servants of the defendant, were an s werable for the improper delivery whiC r h had tl Ins taken place. The case had been tried at tha' uilhali, before Lord Abinger, when the Jury return ed a verdict to the effect that there had been no neglect of duty on the part of the officers of the Sophia, thus rendering the defendant liable in the case, but leaving it open to him to sue the Dock Company if should think proper. Mr. NICHOLSON 13 ow appeared in person to move for a rule to show cause why a new trial shoUld not be had on the grounds of misdirection on the part of t be Learned Judge, tind of a verdict against evil lence. In a somewhat unprofes sional speech, Mr. I dicholson attempted to support his application by poil sting out certain supposed discre pancies in the evidt nice of the witness for the plaintiff. The COURT held ,that no reason had been adduced to show that the V( a diet of the Jury should be dis turbed, and neither was there any thing to justify the plea of re-consid.E ration on the part of the Learned Judge. The rule 1.1 as therefore refused. SECONDAT3.IES.—(THIS DAY.) Mr. Secondary: fAmEs sat in the Court of Queen's Bench, at Guildhr 11, this morning. WILLET T AND OTIIERS V. RAIN. This action was brought for the recovery of a quar ter's rent, due r inchr the following circumstances. A gentleman of tl le name of Lichfield was in the pos session of certain, premises in Bethnal-green. These premises were let, to the defendant, and subsequent to the tenantcy mortgaged to:the plaintiffs. Subsequently to this the mortgagee became bankrupt, and then the plaintiff served a :notice on the defendant, calling upon him not to pay an y more money to Mr. Lichfield, but to pay the rent to the plaintiffs. This he neglected to do, and this action i was brought to recover the amount. The defence to the action was, that the defendant bad paid the rent to the assignees under the bank ruptcy of Mr. Lic hfield. Verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. POLICinN'iTLLIGENCE. Beef, MARYLCEBONE.—(T HIS DAY.) John Williams ' a middle-aged and most respectably dressed man, .who refused to give his address, was placed at the bar, charged with having obtained goods from various tradesmen under false pretences. Thomas Hart,, hairdresser, 18, Great Marylebone - street, said that the prisoner called in at his shop about four o'clock yes terday afternoon, and said that he was sent to look out some brushes and tortoiseshell combs for Mrs. Green Wilkinson, of 39, Wimpole street, for inspection. He took two pair of brushes and three combs, but he (witness) suspecting the truth of his statement, sent his girl after to observe where he went to ; she returned shortly after, and from her information he went to Mr. Thomas, pawn broker, East-street, where prisoner was in the act of pledging the property. He gave him immediately into custody. Albert King, shopman to Mr. Thomson, proved that prisoner came to him offering the goods to pledge, when interupted by_the entrance of complainant. Wrm. Binstead, Mrs. Wilkinson's brother, attended to disclaim on the part of the family any connection with the prisoner. The family had only returned late yesterday evening from a two years' residence on the Continent, so that it was quite impossible the prisoner could have had any orders from them. James Binham, ironmonger, 19, Wigmore-street, said the prisoner came to his place yesterday, about two o'clock, and ordered a quantity of articles he selected to be sent to the residence of James Gun thorpe, Esq., 20, Edward-street, Portman -square. He, however, took with him a bronzed hand lamp, which he alleged he had immediate use for. Witness after wards saw the lamp at a pawnbroker's, and identified it. Wm. Jones, shopman to Mr. Smith. South-street, proved the pledging of the harp fer ls. Ode Several parties were in Court to charge the prisoner with other cases of swindling ; but on inspector Black requesting that he might be remanded, as the evi dence was not completed, the further hearing was or dered for Thursday next, when the other charges will be gone into. CLERICEN WELL.—(TH Is DAY.) Thomas Ainsworth, a truly wretched-looking boy, without a single garment to skreen him but an old black coat saturated with wet, was charged with begging. Police-constable E5O deposed that he found e prisoner wandering about King-street, Holborn, be tween twelve and one on the previous night. He said he was very cold and very hungry. Mr. CorbinE — And where did you take him to ? Policeman—To the. Mendicity, to try if they knew him there as an old mendicant, but they did not. Mr.• COMBB—Where next ? Policeman—To the station• house. _ . Mr. Comm—And he was locked up there all night? Policeman—Yes. _ _ ... ~._._ Mr. COMBE — For what ? Policeman—For being destitute. Mr. COMBS—According to your own statement the boy was doing no harm ; he should not, therefore, be punished. Take him instantly to the parish autho rities, and let him have immediate relief; and never again lock up a person such as the prisoner, but take him to the workhouse and let him be relieved. UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.) Rosetta Daughters, a woman about thirty years of age, was charged with bigamy. Robert Daughters, a private in the Oxford Blues, stated that he was married to the prisoner in June, 1837, and that she ran away from him soon after • wards. Since then he ascertained she had married a man named Highwood, and the witness produced the register of the second marriage, dated the 7th of February in the present year. The prisoner said that she ran away from Daughters in consequence of her not relishing a soldier's life ; that she went to live with Highwood, but was not his wife, as she kneW the consequences if she married him.—She was remanded. William Cappeline was charged with attempting to drown himself. Between one and two o'clock this morning the de fendant walked into the river near the Archbishop's Palace, the tide being out at the time, and waded in the mud and water until he got up to his chin. Being observed, a policeman got into a wherry, and with dif ficulty extricated him from his perilous situation. The defendant said he had had a glass too much, and being ill he intended to destroy himself, but was sorry now that he had made the attempt. He was held to bail. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. __ The arrivals of English Wheat were small, and Monday's prices were fully supported. Foreign at the same rates, but the quantity more limited. Fine Barley was in demand, but secondary qualities met a heavy sale. Peas improved in value, and Beans diffi cult of sale. The Oat trade was exceedingly flat. S M ITH FIE LD. In to day's markets no fresh supplies of stock from abroad were exhibited ; but we had on sale eight Spanish oxen, which were turned out unsold on Monday. With beasts from our own districts we were moderately supplied, while the demand for them was slow, at unaltered quotations. Although the number of Sheep were rather scanty, the mutton trade was dull, at barely late rates. For Veal there was scarcely any inquiry, and the figures had a downward tendency. Pigs were a mere drug, and might have been purchased on easier terms. From Scotland, we received 10 horned and polled Scots ; and from Ireland, 13 Calves and 117 Pigs, with 14 Oxen. Much Cows moved off slowly, at from 161. to 191. each. PRICES PER STONE OF SLR., TO SINS TUE OFFALS.

ESCAPE OF GENERAL V.KNDERSMISSEN. The following is an account of the manner in which General Vandersmi , sen effected his escape : It seems that Madame Vandersmissen had obtained permission to enter the . prison of the Petit Carmes at ten o'clock in the morning, an to stop till four in the afternoon. It is between these hours that the public are admitted. The General had for some days feigned sickness, which afforded a pretext to his wife to prolong her visits. On Sunday the General was in his room with his wife and his two sons, when about eight o'clock the turnkey saw the three latter pass, and let them go out without suspicion. Soon afterwards, according to his duty, IN hich he only half performed, he opened the prisoner's door, and to be sure that the General was within, he wished him a good night. The General did not answer, but the keeper heard some one cough ; this satisfied him, whereas he ought to have convinced himself with his own eyes that the General was there. Our readers will, of course, understand that the per son who coughed was Madame Vandersuaissen, and that the General, dressed in his wife's clothes, had left the prison with his two sons. The night passed, and the escape of the General was unknown to everybody in the prison. In the morning, Madame Vandersmissen was going to leave the prison, when the turnkey said to her, "It seems that you have passed the night here." " Yes, I have obtained permission to do so, ray husband being ill," on which the turnkey opened the gate for her. At three o'clock, as the General did not call for anything, the officers entered his room and found that he was gunc. Notice was immediately sent to the Attorney-General, and do miciliary visits were made to all the houses in which it was thought probable that the General might have passed the night. No trace of him has been found ; and it is thought that he and his family had passed the Dutch frontiers yesterday morning. It seems unaccountable how the keepers could be deceived, the General being a head taller than his wife. ----- WINTER AT ST. PETERSBURGH. Winter is more variable at St. Petersburgh than at MoscoW—that is, the cold does not reign there with such continued severity. Thus, for instance, it is said not to be a rare circumstance at Moscow to find a fruit peeling, or any other matter thrown by chance from a window, catch on the balcony, and becoming immediately frozen, remain there suspended for the rest of the winter. Such a case could not occur at St. Petersburgh, where, although the thermometer often descends to 30 degrees of Reaumur below zero (3l below zero of Fahrenheit), the neighbourhood of the sea combats the icy winds of Siberia, and un expectedly brings on the most strange changes in the temperature. It has never rained, in the memory of man, at Moscow during the months of be cember and January. At St. Petersburgh, on the contrary, rain frequently falls during these two months, and at that period it has been constantly the custom to replace carriages by sledges. This latter kind of vehicle, which no person gives up, becomes the most inconvenient in the world, being driven in the midst of snow and mud. The winter at St. Petersburgh, on account of these sudden transitions, so unexpected, and so rapid, is far more formidable than at Moscow, and to strangers who have not experienced its effects is particularly serious. To defend oneself from the weather the most constant and minute precautions are required. In October the Russians—and all who have been long in the coun try, assume fur clothes, acid keep them in continual wear until the month of April, after the ice has broken up on the Neva. Stoves are lit everywhere, and each family lays in a stock of birch-wood, the braise of which is more abundant than of any other wood. There is a servant specially appointed to attend to the stoves, and his duty is to keep up as much as possible an equal heat throughout the house. The best stove-keepers, whose fame procures them a high salary, are generally from Moscow. Twenty degrees of cold do not appear astonishing to an inha bitant of St. Petersburgh, though he then casts a cu rious look at the thermometer. At 23 or 24 d e g rees, constant rounds are made during the night, to pre vent the police and sentinels from falling asleep on their posts. Should the cold bring on drowsiness, and the sufferer not be able to prevent himself from yielding to its influence, be must perish, as he can only wake from his sleep in the other world. At 25 degrees, the theatres are closed, and all those who are obliged to go out on foot hurry along with their ut most speed, molt anxiously looping at the noses of all those whom they meet in in th e s t ree t. If a sudden paleness—of which no intim a ti on i s given by any physical feeling—should app ear on th a t part of the face, the passer-by rushes f orwar d , an d commences rubbing the afflicted featur e o f th e alarmed pas senger with snow, to produce animation. The same thing may occur to the operator himself be fore the hour is over. •At 30 degrees of cold, the populace aloe go out of doors, entire families shut themselves up, and not a single sledge of any appear ance of fashion is seen in the streets. Yet even then the military reviews are not interrupted, and the highest dignitaries, up to the Emperor himself, repair to them without a cloak. It must be evident that, with cold of such 'intensity, the sufferings of the poor must be dreadful. Yet it may he affirmed without exaggeration, that the lower classes, in winter, suffer less in Russia than in France. There are placed in the various quarters of every large town of the empire public establishments, heated by large stoves, where every person that pleases may take refuge. Dreadful accidents undoubtedly mark the arrival of the severe season, but they generally fall on the servants of Russian noblemen, whose carelessness towards their servants' comforts is akin to barb • arity. It must not be forgotten either, that the three-fourths of these accidents are attributable to the abuse of spirituous liquors. The passion of the People for brandy sets at defiance every wa rnin g , and in winter it becomes more than usually fatal. ---onstitutionne/. SINGULAR DEATH. — On Thursday evening, the 27th ult. as John W o°-estw d -, a cart driver, in the employ Of Mr. J. Farrar, of this town, was on his return home from Huddersfield, having lighted his pipe in the public-house at Birchenelitfe, the night being dark, he stumbled against the wall and broke the pipe in several pieces in his mouth, as he supposed, without in flicting any serious internal injury. On his arrival at the Mitre Tavern . in Halifax, after having attended to his horses, he retired to his bed, w h er e he remained until Saturday evening, when he got up and went to his father's house in Westgate. his mother, perceiv ing that he was greatly indisposed, inquired what was the matter; he said he had got an attack of the quinsey, and that his throat vas very much swollen. He continued to grow worse until Tuesday evening, when medical assistance was called in. About one o'clock on Wednesday morning a violent discharge of ' blood took place from the extreme right angle of the mouth, when it was discovered that he had pulled out a piece of pipe two inches long, which, according to medical opinion, had perforated. the jugular vein at the period above mentioned, and prevented a n y prev i ous hemorrhage. He died at six o c lock i n even i n g. h T e h The had man discharged eNer told the piece of p any per sonoi pipe f the accident, until from his throat.— Alac kdiengnroene' s 0 f Health of , Halifax Ggarilian. TownsllEAir ß ir ll of s eTxociivtiNnsg.—a A greaterir . interest amongst the Dissenting bodies generally j than any measure that has been proposed for a. long time. They do well to bestir themselves, for it is the most insidious movement on the part of the clergy that has been made for a long time. Although his name is attached to it, it is whispered that Mr. Mackinnon is not so much the . framer of the proposed Bill as the Bishop , of London. Under pretence of improving the health 'orthe public, provision is made for securing to the clergymen of every parish, on every interment which may take place, such amount of f ees as the Bishop of the diocese shall fa . , and this whether or no he perform the funeral service. He may decline the duty, ' but he is still to secure the fee. In the Hackney Church-rate case, the scale which rules that parish 'was produced in evidence, and in giving. judg ment on the case, Dr. Lushington referred to the above clause in the following terms :—" Why, that is palpably illegal from the beginning to the end!" This opinion of the Judge of their own Court should teach the clergy and Mr. Mackinnon to use a moderate de gree of prudence in urging their pretensions.—Ad vertiser. .

About half-past five o'cicck on Wednesday evening, " Boat" was called from the sides of the Serpentine river. Mr. Hembrey, the park-keeper, assisted by his nephew,. immediately took a boat and proceeded to the spot, and succeeded in rescuing a young woman, twenty years of age. She had sunk for the last time, and when taken out of the water was apparently lifeless ; but the usual restora tives being applied at the receiving -house, she gradu ally recovered, and was shortly removed to her home, at Marylebone-lane. Her name is Anna Clements. DREADFUL STORM.—In several of the dales in the vicinity of Cumberland lakes, on Tuesday night and on Wednesday week, there was a most dreadful snow storm, accompanied with piercing and tempestuous gales of wind, and thunder and lightning. Happily there was no loss of human life, nor have we heard of any loss of sheep or stock of any other description. It is rumoured that should the weather continue favourable, the Court will remain at Walmer for a month or six weeks. HER MAJESTY'S VIS L' T TO WALI%IER CASTL E . The following are the particulars o f her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albe: rt's route from town to Weimer Castle yesterday. On the arrival of the Queen and Pri nee at Green wich a party of the 7th hussars relieve id the escorting detachment that accompanied the Re yal party from Paddington. At Dartford a relay of I gorses was sup plied and a fresh escort provided. Th a bells of the venerable church rang a jovial peal, az d the inhabi tants generally assembled to witness ti ie Royal pro gress through. Horses were again changed at Gravesend, a triumphal arch being exec ted across the new road by High-street. A vast nu tuber of per sons loudly cheered. the Queen and Prix .ca, and after a short delay the Royal cortege of ti zee carriages pursued its route, through Rochester and Sitting bourne, to Canterbury, parties of the 7t h Hussars re lieving each other at the different stairs • CANTERBURY, THURSDAY AFTER:6O( )No--The an cient and "famous" city of Canterbursr was this after noon honoured by the august preseni of its Sove reign, accompanied by her illustriou s Consort and youthful and lovely children, in wic irts the hopes of the nation have centred such interest ar id e.xpectations. Although many centuries back this smelt flt , metro polis of the kingdom of Kent could bo: sat of I)einer the residence of its Kings—regal visits i vithin the last century have been seldom, and conseq a.mtly the pro gress of the Queen through the city tt day could not fail to call forth the loyal feelings of tine inhabitants. The visits of Sovereigns to the city i n olden times have supplied the contemporary chronic lers with ma terials of an amusing description—nem ding with the greatest minuteness the usages adopte4 1 for their re ception and entertainment. The ,most celebrated in the annals of the city were the visit of:I lenry VI. and his Queen, to pay their devotion at the tomb of the martyr (Thomas a'Becket) in 1450. Ed ward IV. and Queen Elizabeth, his - consort, in 14 when Arch bishop Bourchier is stated by Hasha I to have' en tertained them " very splendidly an d nobly" in their pilgrimage to Becket's shrine, a nd it appears costly presents were given to the King and Queen by the corporation. Richard 111. came •to Canterbury in 1483, when he was the means of cc inferring some important benefits on the city charts rs. The next Royal visit on record was that of llei iry VIII. and Queen Catherine. Queen Mary passed through the city in 1558, on her way to Sir T. Malsle's residence, and was presented by the citizens with, a purse of 20 angels. (101.) The visit of Queen Eliza l)eth in 1573 and 1582, are, however, the most brilliant handed down in history. On the first visit of ;that popular Sovereign she held a Court at the Abbey .of St. Au gustine (converted into a Palace by Henry VIII., her father,. on the dissolution of the monasteries),.and on her arrival the corporation presented her with 60 an gels (301.) in a " scented" purse, and the heralds, ser geants at arms, and the attendants in the P.oyal reti nue, were liberally provided with preseuts by the citi zens. It is generally known that Charles I. consum mated his marriage with Henrietta of France at St. Augustine in 1625, and that unfortunate King again visited the city in 1641. Charles IL,. at the restora tion, stayed some days at St. Augustine 4 Palace, and, at the time he went through the city say Dover with his Queen, a banquet was provided by the .hen Mayor. William III: was sumptuously banqueted .in 1690 , and in 1695, when on his way to the Coalinent• George I. and George 11. also made visits to thea.litY• It was the general feeling of the inhabitants s tn make every display of loyalty and regard to the au gust person of the Queen consistent with her Ma jesty's convenience and comfort; but, owing to the proffered services of the East Kent yeomanry having been declined, the military preparations for the Royal escort having been completed, the Mayor and Civic authorities very properly consulted with the Home Secretary as to whether it would be the wish of her Majesty to receive the city address on passing through the city or not, and in reply Sir James Graham stated it would be more in accordance with the wishes of the Queen that the address should be forwarded to him, as it might delay the arrival of her Majesty at Walmer Castle. The city address was accordingly sent to the Right Hon. Baronet. The weather this morning was on the whole fine for the month of November, and all the arrangements for the decoration of the houses along the High-street from 'West-gate to Deal-road, and the erection of galleries and triumphal arches were in excellent taste. At West-gate, the only city gate now remaining, galleries were erected on each side of its.lofty round towers, tastefully hung with coloured draperies, and ornamented with evergreens, and streamers and flags, emblazoned with the Royal and City arms, and others with inscriptions expressive of attachment to the reigning family. The noble archway was also pro fusely hung with evergreens, with the Royal initials of V. A. in large gilt characters. On the eastern', tower was hoisted. the Royal standard. That part of the city was densely crowded for some considerable time before the Queen's arrival, and by one o'clock the galleries were filled with the families of the clergy connected with the cathedral and those of the civic authorities. At the end of High-street, by the Dane John, a triumphal arch was formed across the road with co lumns on each side, with " Welcome" inscribed in large letters over the carriage way, the whole being decorated with evergreens and various coloured flags. About oue o'clock the depots of the 94th, 21st, and 96th Regiments, and some privates of the 39th and 51st, came into the High-street, and formed in double line by St. Margaret's-lane as the intended guard of honour of her Majesty, eaptain Holt commanded. A party, of the Bth Hussars, commanded by Lieut. James, were drawn up on the opposite side of the street, and were to form the escort to relieve the 7th Hussars, and attend the Queen, as was underitood, as far as Winghern, on the road to Sandwich. By two o'clock. the thousands congregated from St. Dunstan s, along the line selected for the Royal route, as far as St. Thomas's-hill, were momentarily expect ing the arrival of her Majesty, and the Royal car riages which passed through the city for Weimer, with the principal domestics in the Royal household, occasioned a stir every now and then amongst the populace. The windows of every house were occupied by parties of ladies, all evidently anxious for the ar rival of her Majesty. At twenty minutes to three the Royal carriage, es corted by the cavalry, was discerned from St. Du nstan's, and the gratifying intelligence passed very quickly to the remotest part of the city. At precisely a quarter to three o'clock her Majesty and his Royal Highness reached West-gate, the Queen and Prince having been loudly cheered from St. Dunstan's by the people. A Royal salute was immediately fired from the gaol, and the multitude rent the air with their enthu siastic acclamations of joy, the ladies in the galleries at the same time waving their handkerchiefs, betoken ing their pleasure in beholding their amiable and de voted Sovereign within the precincts of the city. Owing to the thoroughfare being thronged on eithe r side with spectators, the speed of the horses was abated, and the Royal carriages progressed along the High-street at a slow pace, amidst the warm and oft-repeated cheering of the loyal inhabitants and others congregated to welcome their Queen on the occasion. The pleasure of the people was unexpectedly height ened by the opportunity they had of beholding the lovely little Princess Royal and the Prince of Wales, ho were held to the carriage windows by their at tendants, the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, in care of their Royal Highnesses, being with them. The guard of honour, before the Royal carriages arrived at St. Margaret's-lane, passed to the Fountain Hotel, where relays of horses were in waiting, and on her Majesty's arrival received her with the customary honours. The escort kept close in the rear of the Queen's carriage. It was about ten minutes to three when the Royal carriage drove up to the hotel, and after the necessary delay of changing the horses the Royal cortege immediately resumed its route by the High-street to the Deal-road. The " Royal progress," as far as St. Thomas's-hill, afforded a very animated scene, the liveliest demon strations of the people rendering the reception of the Queen at once gratifying to herself and to the illus trious Prince, her consort. The Royal cortege consisted of three carriages, the first with her Majesty and Prince Albert, the second containing the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal, and the third the Countess of Dunmore, Lady in Waiting ; Viscount Hawarden, Lord in Waiting ; Lord Charles Wellesley and Colonel Wylde, Equerries in 'Waiting on the Queen and Prince. Owing to the lateness of the hour, it will be impos sible to give a lengthened notice of her Majesty's pro gress to Sandwich. The Duke of Wellington, as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, received her Majesty a short distance this side of Sandwich, and attended the Queen direct to Weimer Castle. ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY. DOVER, THURSDAY EVENING. —This afternoon, about five o'clock, her Majesty and suite arrived at Walther. Castle (the seat of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports) in perfect safety, amid the joyous greetings of a numerous concourse of her loyal sub pets. As the Royal cortege passed through the va rious towns along the road, and under triumphal arches that had been erected at various points, the ut most joy and rejoicing were manifested by her people. The weather was rather unpropitious---a thick driz zling rain having continued to fall during the greater part of the day ; but this circumstance seemed in no way to affect the loyalty of the men and women of Xent. The Duke of Wellington left Dover this morning at an early hour, to meet the Queen on the threshold of the Cinque Ports, and to conduct her to his marine residence, Weimer Castle, the keys of which he delivered iredue form- to her Majesty ; and after the Queen had taken possession of the Castle, his Grace returned to the Ship Hotel, at Dover his present temporary residence, which he reached by To-morrow the Dover Harbour Commissioners, of whom the Noble Duke, as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, is the head, hold their sessions at Dover, when, it is reported (though we rather suspect the veracity of the report), her Majesty will came over to that place, and take luncheon at the Governor's house, at Dover Castle, while her Royal Consort attends the harbour sessions with the Duke. There does not yet seem to be any certainty as to the time her Majesty will remain at Widmer Castle ; but as her Majesty is understood to he particularly partial to a sea view, which cannot of course be obtained at Brighton, it is not unlikely her stay may be prolonged much beyond what is generally anticipated. The Town Council of Dover met yesterday, and made the necessary ar rangements for paying all due honour to our beloved Queen. WALMER CASTLE. Jactat Walmer novas celebris arc, s Notus Ca3sareis locus trophceis. Walmer renowned, her new-built castle boasts, A place wail-knov,llio Caesar's armed hosts. The old historical memories which attach to Wal mer Castle, and which, from the earliest pages of our annals downward, have contributed to throw no slight celebrity arcund it, are now about to add to :their number the visit of our illustrious Queen, in defence of whoze shores and people its bulwarks were originally built. Widmer Castle stands close to the sea-shore, at some distance from the village of the same name, and commands a fine view of the Downs, and coast of i France. It was built by her Majesty's ancestor, King Henry the Eighth, in the year 1539, and therefore bears at the present moment upon its walls and bas tions the marks and furrows of three hundred and three years. Its form of construction is that of four round lunettes of very thick stone-arched work, with many large port-holes. In the middle is a great round tower, with a cistern on the top of it, and underneath an arched cavern, bomb-proof; the whole is encompassed by a fosse, over which is a draw-bridge. Before Walmer Castle was built there existed be tween it and Deal Castle, which lies but at a short distance, two eminences of earth, called the Great and Little Bulwark. These still remain, as proof of the necessity understood by our ancestors of fortify ing this portion of the coast. These once had embrasures for guns, and formed with others a defensive line of batteries along that part of the shore, where there was deep water, and whei - e ships of war could approach the shore to cover the, disembarking of an enemy's army. The Governor- , ship of Walmer Castle was, by Act of 32 Henry VIII. cap 48, together with the others built in this county and Sussex, collectively known under the name of Quinque Portuum, or Cinque Ports, put under the rule of a Captain or Lord Warden, an office at the present moment honourably filled by the illustrious Duke. It was on this spot that the Roman Eagle, after traversing with unfurled wing the intervening sea.s, first stooped and alit in Britain. Here Caesar, herald ing his cohorts, landed; and here, too, this " lord of legions" fought his first battle in the sea, before British prowess or patriotism allowed an invader to plant foot upon our shores. It was here, also, that on the fourth night after his arrival, a great storm damaged and destroyed so many of his high-prowed ships of burthen, and so injured his galleys, that he was com -11ed to draw them as h ore , where the foundations of warner are now embedded, subsequently enclosing them Vrith his camp and fortifications. The remnants of this " ship-camp" are still to be seen ; and Camden designates the remains by the terse appellative of " Rome's works." Not, however, but that Caesar':. " sea-camps " existed in a far mightier body and shape than any traces of the present day exhibit them, for most of them have, ages since, been ab sorbed by the ocean, which has so long been exercising its power, and. wasting the coast away. Even since Henry the Eighth's time it has carried off the 52a-ward esplanadeof Walmer, and part of its cir cular forts. Of' late years, indeed, only the providen tial ejectment of pebbles has put a stop to the en croachment, in some measure; yet it is still amazing to see how, by degrees, fosses and trenches are filled up, and the waters fly even over the banks a consider able way into the land. Camden and Lambarde, in referring to the second expedition of Caesar hither, state that he again landed at Walmer, and most likely at the exact spot where he had done so the year before. After he bad taken his final departure from Britain, the Romans no longer resorted to this locale, but used the port of Rich borough on all occasions. Placing one's-self on the turrets of Wagner, an extensive and magnificent prospect appears on every side. Sandwich haven,—the resort and rendezvous of war, and trading-ships, and a vast maritime popula tion; Deal,—which in Henry the Eighth's time was only a small fishinr-village, but which now contains nearly four thousand souls, with its bold open beach, dock-yards, and stores; the Goodwin Sands,—with their soft, spongy, porous surface whose quicksands will, in six days, swallow up a ship of the largest size that may chance to strike on them, and which have " ingurgitated" and voraciously devoured multitudes of wrecked crews, and properties both personal and landed ;—these ' more or less, meet the eye of the spec tator. But the finest view of all is the magnificent ex panse of the Downs—a" safe and commodious road stead for the largest fleets of ships—eight miles in length, and about six wide, and which, with innume rable merchant ships, is sometimes entirely covered. Their waters gleam in the sunset, and roll to the op posite coast, with a smooth splendour, which the finest channels of other seas cannot often show. As regards situation, Walmer lies adjoining Deal in a southward direction, being so called as Valium Maris or Wall-rner, being the wall, or fortification made against the sea. It was once part of the hun dred of Cornilo, and the manor in which it is situated was anciently part of the possessions of the eminent family of Auberville. The Captains of Walmer Castle have been as follows : Thomas Alleyn, Gent., appointed by King Henry VIII. for life, obiit ammo 4 Edward VI. In the year 1558, the Captain of Walmer Castle was killed by a felon. William Blaichinden, Esq., appointed by King Edward VI., June 12, in his fourth year - for life. Edmund Lisle, Esq., appointed in 1616 for life, and died Oct. 1, 1637. John Menges, appointed on Nov. 10, 1637, anno 13 Charles 1., for life. Christopher Buys was afterwards Captain. Hon. Charles James Fox, in 1779. William Scott, Esq., 1860. Mr. Pitt, also Colonel of the Cinque Port Cavalry. Lastly, his Grace the Duke of Wellington, of whom, it is to be hoped, that he may yet survive many years in the enjoyment of the office. Towards the village ofWalmer, there extends a fiat, many feet lower than the high-water mark, which the beach thrown up along the shore , has fenced from the sea, and which probably, when Owsar landed, was all covered with water. Round Walmer Church, which stands at the south-end of the village, on a rise, is a deep single fosse. Walmer is noted for the salubrity of its air, and, in addition to the beauties of the scenery we have de scribed, for its adjoining country, consisting almost wholly of unenclosed corn fields. The high -road from Deal to Dover, passes through built the in v i lla g ea whichneatand is W called ahner-street, and is prepossessing style. Several handsome houses ad orn it, which are much resorted to in the 'winer season for the benefit of sea bathing,and the purity of the air. , Leland in his " Itinerary," g i ve s the following description of Walmer in his time, that bein g r , in the reign of " bluff King harry :" " Walmer is about a mile from Dele shore, and Tooke as from the farther syde of the mouth of Dovar ; the shore is low to Vralmere, so is the shore all cliffy and bye from Walmere to the very point of Dovar Castell ; and there the shore falleth flat, and a little beyound the towne of Dovar the shore cleveth to Folkestone. From Walmere to St. Margaretes ij miles, and ij miles to Dovar." The town of \\rainier at present contains about 100 houses, 'and upwards of 800 acres of land. Its church has been long reckoned a perpetual curacy, and continues so at this time. It is not valued in the Queen's books. WYNYARD HOUSE, IVEDINESDAY.—Tho Marquis of Londonderry, who had the misfortu ne to break his arm by his horse falling with him en Monday, while hunting, is going on well. Last night his Lordship had some refreshing sleep, and the limb has been set with skill by his Lordship's medical attendants. The Marchioness wrote by yesterday's post to liolderness House, to say that the answer to any inquiries was to be that the Marquis was recovering. Lord Castle reagh arrived from town last week, being his second visit to his noble relatives since his return from the east, and will remain here some time.Ali d t a b u e g p h r t e e - r pre liminaries have been arranged for the marriage of the Lady Fanny Emily Vane Stewart, eldest of the Marquis and Marchioness, with the Mar qu i s of Blandford; eldest son of the Dui;e_ of Marlborough, and the ceremony will take place in town at the close of the ensuing season, by . which period the Marquis will have'attained his majority.

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. POST.—Advertisements are put forth by the CM , han and Spanish Governments. That of the former refers to the proposed issues of new Six per C en t. an d new Three per Cent. Bonds. That of the latter, with the signature of Senor Borrajo attached to it, refers to the dividends accrued and accruing upon the late consolidation of Five per Cent. Coupons. It must, however, be observed to Senor Borrajo, that the scrupulous adherence to the very letter of the law, and of the public notices of the Financial Commis sion, which is impressed as so essential on the part of the holders of the said coupons, forfeiture itself being threatened as the penalty of neglect, but ill accords with the example set by the Spanish Government in the breach of almost the whole of its engagerhents. Payment of another dividend on the New Three per Cent. Stock is, if not actually announced, vaguely hinted at as probable ; and it is hoped that disap pointment may not follow, as in other instances. The Treasury bondholders are still left out of view. They now enter on the seventh year occurring since the issue of their securities, and the Spanish Em bassy and Financial Commission act as though they conceived the poor dupes could exist on the satisfac tion derivable from a perusal only of their pompausiv worded bonds—bonds at one time highly prized in London and of great value, owing to public notices of payment having appeared. The pledges contained in those notices have never been fulfilled, and 'it now_ creates no small disgust to find the Spanish authori ties preaching in the journals of the indispensable ne cessity of attention the most rigid bring paid to ad vertisements on a like subject emanati ng from 'the same source. The quotation of the New Three per Cent. Spanish Stock is positively prohibited in the French and Dutch markets. Why, then, it is asked, should all this severity of rule andidtscipline be ex ercised towards the English bondholders, who are notoriously the most grievous of all sufferers from the duplicity of Spain, and with the fact before us that ' up to the present time the Five per Cent. stocks are still quoted at Madrid, with all the coupons attached to them, from which it is to be inferred that the prin ciple of exclusion is partially exercised to their pre judice. TIMES.—As many letters are constantly addressed to us from the holders of those Bonds of the United States Bank that commonly, though improperly, have the name of " Denison's loan," it may be as well to inform the writers more particularly than has yeaeen done, that far from their interests having been neg lected by Messrs. Overend and Gurney, we are sured on good authority that firm was unremitting in applications to the Bank. As soon as the pay ' ment of the dividends ceased, in the early part of this year, they addressed a letter to the President of the " United States Bank," setting forth their own position as particularly bound to advocate the interests of the bondholders. To this letter they Imceived no answer, and it was not till another had been sent, that the President of the "United States Bank" thought fit to reply. They were then in formed that the property of the bank had been as signed to trustees for the benefit of domestic credi tors, and that the reason why this preference had been shown to those over the creditors in Europe was, that the latter were considered to be sufficiently pro tected by the bonds deposited as security—that is, by the doubtful bonds of Pennsylvania and the trash ,of Mississippi and Michigan. The only portion of dividend that has been received immediately on the guarantees of the States themselves has been from Pennsylvania this year, and this was appropria4ed to satisfy part of the arrears due on the bank bonds in April. As for the hopes of the bondholders, now that Pennsylvania has ceased paying her dividends, they arc in a desperate condition indeed. A mercantile correspondent calls attention to a fact which is probably pretty generally known in cons ! Inercial circles, but which many of the humbler classes 'who correspond with friends in America, and to whom it is of much importance, have yet to learn. This is, that according to the postage regulations of the United States, a letter enclosed in an envelope is charged as a, double letter. CHRONICLE.—The want of a moderate fixed dt. ty on foreign corn forms the chief obstacle to the coLopletion of a commercial treaty between Spain and Gre at Britain. It is well known that if the raw produce of the Spanish soil were admitted into Eng lish ports under a fixed import duty, the Spanish Cabinet would receive immense support in the ap proaching meeting of Cortes, in their wishes to admit British cottons into the ports of Spain under an ad -valorem duty of about 25 per cent. The proposal of -substituting a duty of 40 per cent. in lieu of the pre sent prohibition, would be of no use. It would not suppress smuggling, and would, therefore, be of little or no advantage to the Spanish treasury. But with a duty of 25 per cent. the contraband trade would be ,stopped, and the custom duties of Spain would be increased to an extent that would soon enable the i, Madrid Cabinet to restore the credit of their country, 1 and to do something great and permanent for the advantage of the English bondholders. A new market -would be opened up at the same time for British . manufactures, by the demand that would arise to v supply a population which cannot be estimated at much under 12,000,000 of souls, and thus a recipro cal and permanent benefit would be conferred on both nations. _ _ _ _ _ . SUN.—The steadiness in the English market was maintained up to the conclusion of business, with a mo derate number of transfers. There seems nothing just now to derange the market, as wheat speculations hay e seme time died away, and may be considered as effeci"ually closed for yet a long period, by the rise in the da,ty to-day to 20s. per quarter. Consols for Money dosed at 941 and for Account at 944. Ex cheuer B L 'lls realised As. premium, being rather dull s ; and East India Bonds were worth 51s. to 525. premium. Bank Stock remained firm at 172 to 173; and India Stock advanced to 259. New Three-and a-Half per Cents. were 1011 tc 1011; Reduced, Three-and-a-Half per Cents, 1001 to 1011; and Three per Cent. Annuities, 93.1 to 931. Long An nuities were at 12 1 . Very little was doing in any of the Foreign Stocks, and the market closed flat. Spanish Fives were 18 to 171, and the Three per Cents. 21i. Mexican Stock also receded, not being higher than 32i to 33 for money. Columbian were dull at 211, but Buenos Ayres improved to 21i.. Brazil Stock was worth 634 being the previous value. Shares were marked the turn lower, the bargains, in addition to those noticed this morning, being— Birmingham and Gloucester 581; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 3 ; Brighton, 141 ; and North Midland, 37 discount. Birmingham Quarter were 22k; Northern and Eastern Scrip,li- ; and Paris and Rouen, 2,i- to 21 prem. London and Westminster }Lank Shares were 21 to 21; and Union of Australia New, 2! premium. PUBLIC HEALTH.—In the last number of The Lancet is a communication from Mr. Curtis, the aurist, drawing the attention of fl it profession to the step recently taken by the bankers to shorten the hours of business, and stating his intention to en deavour to procure the adoption of a similar measure throughout the trades in London and elsewhere. He has already obtained the consent of many of the prin cipal linen-drapers, as he did that of the bankers, and does not doubt that the proceeding will be general. With the milliners but little good, he fears, can be done save by legislative measures, and he states that a Bill to control their hours of labour, the same a s for the factory girls , wil l be introduced next session. His attention was first directed to the inquiry which has prompted his remarks, we understand, by finding that many cases of deafness were caused by close con finement, want of exercise, and impure air. He Con cludes his letter with a recommendation that the public parks be rendered more attractive and available by the erection of casinos, where refreshments may be tlohn _ tamed as on the Continent. In this conimunea Mr. Curtis is only follo win g u p the course upon i whicho he catered four years. ago is his work upon the Pre servation of Health, which abounds in .suggestions the adoption of which would go far t!::, convert the living h te s epulchres of our count r y , its lar ge towns, into healthy abodes of cheerful and happy b e i ngs. MA.anTED Yirommv Ix PARIS.--Th e following sta tistic of the ages of the 121,525 'women warned jlt Paris in the course of the last 18 years is given by one of the French journals as havi ngbeen verified by the registers of the Etat Civil. Between 12 stud 15 years old there were 814—at 16 years 1,9,20—at 17 }ears 3,959—at 18 years 5,816 —at 19 years 6,96.7 years at 20 years 7,610—at 21 8,047—at 22 orr:23 between 7,000 and B,ooo—at 6,ooo—but at 26, 07, 24 or 25 upwards ; of 5,000. This decreasing and 28 thescarcely exceed ng progression does on so that' up to 31 years there w,cre only 3 651—thence, to 41 - , years 1,798—at 42 years 1,01 at 48 years 586 — at 56 years 226 —at 60 years 126, and during the ,13 years there were 578 marriages of women Aged :61 years and upward s . A no ther account shows that out of 1,000,000 married in Paris 521,653, being more than one-half, were married before the commencement': of their 26th year. TR ALEE.—The fair in this town on Monday was very numerously attended, and there was a large of stock ; but the farmers complained loudly oMhe depreciation in value, there being a decided falling off in prices, except for sheep, even since the last fair here, on the 10th of October. Very little busi ness was transacted, and, on the whole, it was a bad fair for sellers. Good milch cows fetched Si., inferior ones much lower; heifers from 3/. to 3/. 10s.: a few prime ones, 4/. ; store sheep, Bs. to 10s.; fat ditto, 18s. to 20s. In the price of pigs there was a remark able falling off, the best description bringing but 20s. th e cwt.; inferior ditto, 15s. to 18s. The prices at our last fair averaged 255. the cwt.—Kerry Exaininet‘.
