After staying a few days at St Cloud, his Majesty will go to Fontainebleau. The King and Queen of the Belgians, who, it is said, are likewise to go to Fontainebleau, are expected at St. Cloud about the 20th of September. Marshal Soult and M.

PITIMIC OPINION. The Chriinicle contains the following observations on the - subject of the American Tariff Bill :—" A Ta lift Bill, whiCh must be considered a temporary one, has at length been agreed to by th e P res id ent and Congress of the' United States, after• one of the most de s - - • perate party struggles that ever occurred in that bcountry.

PARIS, SEpT.ls.—The papers to-day are with out interest, but the. Levant mail has arrived with Constantinople letters of the 27th, Alexan dria news of the 26th, and Malta news of the sth. There was every assurance of a termination of the Persian and Turkish differences, in despite of rumours of engagements. _ The Porte awaits the return of Selim Bey to fulfil the promises made by it to Lord Ponsonby respecting Syria. Some fears were entertained of outbreaks in Thessaly and on the side of Servia. The Porte has collected troops in both quarters, by way of precaution. The salt monopoly is to be done away with. Izzet still holds his ground, and may now con tinue to do so. No progress has been made with the Grecian treaty Christides opposing everything that Mavrocordato has a hand in. The Pacha's fleet had come out of the harbour of Alexandria. There was a rumour of Egytian troops going to El Arish, but it was little cre dited. Madrid letters of the Bth mention the deter mination of Senor Calatrava to resist the de mands of the contractors. It was a holiday at the Bourse. COURT CIRCULAR.

Stewart, Deputy Chairman of the Customs, had an interview yesterday with the Chan cellor of the Exchequer in Downing -street. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER RACES —THURSDAY. Beeswing has been so long associated with the Cup at Doncaster, that without her the race would lose its chief attraction. For seven years in succession has she competed with the best horses of the day. Com mencing in 1836, then three yrs old, she ran fourth fer it, Touchstone first, Carew second, Venison third, Gene ral Chasse fifth, and Flying Billy sixth ; in 1837 she won it, beating Cardinal Puff, Abraham New land, Egeria, and Dan Dawson ; in 1838 she ran second to Don John ; in 1839 she was third, Charles the Twelfth being the winner, and Laner cost second; in 1840 she again won it, beating The Provost, Charles the Twelfth, Maroon, Sampson, and Vermillion ; in 1841 she also won it, having only the Shadow to beat. From this enumeration it will be seen that she has won it three times, and that in the other three she was defeated by first-rate .horses, all St. Leger winners. The result of her seventh appearance for it will be found below. The race, it is almost un necessary to add, excited very considerable interest, and the St. Leger settling having terminated comfortably, the books were opened on Wednesday, and business to a large amount transacted. A report having got into cir culation that the mare was lame, the odds changed from 6 to 4 on her to 5 td4 on the field ; the offers agst Charles the Twelfth falling from 4 to 1 to 5 to 2. These were the opening prices on Wednesday after dinner, when, judging from the betting, the lameness, if ever it existed, must have disappeared ; for, in the course of an hour, a large outlay caused the odds to rise to 7 to 4 on Charles the Twelfth, going back to 4 and 5 to 1 ; half an hour after, the anti-favourite party came out in strength, and the betting closed at evens on the mare, 9 to 4 on the horse, 5 to 1 against all the three years old, and 7 to 1 against the Shadow, who was backed for 2001. at 6 and 8 to 1 ; Attila was mentioned, but had no separate price. These fluctuations imparted greater interest to the race, and as it was preceded by a two years old race, that brought out the first favourite for the Derby, and several others engaged in it or in the Oaks or St. Leger ; the company, which was much larger than on the St. Leger day, seemed to care little about the deficiency of the list in other respects. We subjoin the usual details of the sport : The Three yrs old Stakes of 20 sovs. each, h ft; colts, Bst 71b ; fillies, Bst 21b. Leger Course. (11 subs,) Lord Chesterfield's The Artful Dodger ...

Betting—Even and 6 to 5 on A British Yeoman, 6 to 1 each agst The Caster, Colonel Crawford's colt and Pharoah ; and 10 to 1 each agst Judex, the Era, and Trueboy ; and 20 to 1 agst Maria Day. The front rank at starting consisted of Maria Day, with a slight lead, Pharaoh second, Colonel Crawford's colt third, well up, and A British Yeoman fourth ; this order continued at a tremendous pace to the Red House, where A British Yeoman went past Colonel Crawford's colt ; in the bend he headed Pharaoh, and at the dis tance was alongside the filly, every other horse in the race being completely beaten. The two then singled themselves out, and ran one of the longest and truest races ever seen, the horse winning in the last stride by a head ; Era was a very bad third, but was clear out of the ruck.

Beeswing took the lead at starting, was never approached within two lengths, and won in the very commonest of canters. The Slit dow was second to the stand, where Charles the Twelfth passed her; Attila was several lengths 'in the rear, fr' m the start to the finish.

The Committee of the Town Council, consisting of Thomas Johnson, the Mayor, Sir Isaac Morley, and Councillors Moray and Webb, with Mr. Mason, the Town Clerk, had an interview in the morning with the no'ilemen and gentlemen of the Doncaster Racing Club, consisting of Lord Chesterfield (in the Chair), the Mar quis of Normanby, Lord Kelburne, Colonel Peel, Col. Cradotk, Sir W. B. Cooke, &c. On the Committee icing introduced, Lord Chesterfield rose and expressed the thanks of himself and noblemen, and others, sup porters of the Doncaster races, for the liberal subscrip tion or 1,000!., guaranteed by the Corporation for 1843 ; and on behalf of himself and friends, expressed their de termination to do e veryt hi ng i u their power to render the races as effectivc and attractive as possible. The noblemen present would take into consideration the means of providing for certain incidental expenses at tendant on the races, and thus relieve the Corporation from certain payments; but inasmuch as some of the stakes were now subscribed to, many of such expenses could not be provided for altogether prior to the races of 1844. The suggestions of the 'roan Council were exceedingly proper for the consideration of the gentlemen of the Racing Club, who would deliberate on them at a future meeting of the Club, when more members would be pre sent, and would inform the Town-clerk of the result. The Committee of the Town Council was highly grati fied by the polite reception they met with, and the great attention with which their suggestions were received. At a subsequent meeting, Messrs. Clarke and Merton were re-appointed ; and the Earl of Eglinton consented to act as one of the stewards. We believe it is in con templation to run the Yorkshire Handicap . on Wednes day instead of Monday. SALE of BLOOD STOCK by Messrs. TATTERSALL. THE PROPERTY OF MR. VANSITTART. Gs.

And it may be noticed, upon very high authority, that our own Government will not lose any opportunity for the preservation of the independence of Texas, upon the ground of its importance politically, and the necessity that such should be the case. It is further stated that com mercial prospects are improving, and that the crops would, it was expected, be much more abundant than had been hitherto known.

We give the following extract from the Church and State Gazette of yesterday, without at all adopting the views of the writer, respecting her Majesty's rea sons for not attending Divine worship in a Scotch church. We believe there were other causes, which Dr. Chalmers can explain : "The journey of her Majesty through a portion of her Scottish dominions has been at once agreeable and satisfactory. It was intended to be one of free dom from restraint, and hitherto it has precisely answered to the original intentions of the Queen. The reception she has met with has greatly delighted her. In alluding, however, to her Majesty's visit to Scot land, we have a special object in view, to which we desire to call the attention of our readers—it is the wise and truly admirable conduct of the Queen with reference to the subject of religious worship whilst in that portion of the British empire. If a love of mo mentary popularity, which passes away with the next breeze or the next change of opinion, had actuated the Queen, she would have charmed the unreflecting and the irreligious by attending at Presbyterian worship, and would have neglected the Episcopal Church, of which she is the head, for a mother Church which, however respectable, makes no such acknowledgment, and is not the religion of the State. When the Queen was requested to be present at Presbyterian service, that was a moment of tempta tion. We cannot but feel that it must have been so. The General Assembly, the ministers and elders of hundreds, not to say thousands, of congregations, would have boasted of the attachment of Royalty to their form of worship, to their doctrines, and to their noncomformity to the Episcopal Establishment of the State. They would have done more than that: they would have eulogized the " magnanimity of the Queen " and would have praised her " for shaking off the trammels of education and pre judice." They would have gone still further; and the cry would have been heard from hill to mountain, and from_valley to valley—" Long live the Queen and the Church of Scotland !" The Queen knew all this—she must have known it—hut she preferred principle to popularity, and she felt that it was her duty to show to the intelligent, thoughtful, reflect ing, pious Scotch, that as they, in England, would not seek the Episcopal churches of that country to worship their Heavenly Father, neither could she, in Scotland, set so bad an example of indifference to religious considerations and principles as an attend ance at Presbyterian worship would have implied? MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. The prices of Consols rather improved at the latter end of the day, and the last rates were 921 buyers for Money, and 93 to 931 for the Account. India Stock, 249 251; Exchequer Bills, Old, 51 53; New, 49 51 prem. The Foreign Securities were not quite so firm Belgian, 102 103; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.. 521 52+ ; the Five per Cents., 1021 103 ; Danish, 83 84 ; and Brazilian, 671 681. The quotation for Mexican rose to a similar price as yesterday, 351 1. The Share Market was a shade better ; London and Birmingham were, 181 183 ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 42 44 ; Great Western, 82 83 ; the Half Shares, 59 59f ; South Western, 57 .58 ; North ern and Eastern, 36 37 ; North Midland, 56 58 ; the New, 27 28; South Eastern and Dover, 22 221 ; Eastern Counties, 8f 8; ; Blackwall, 64 7 ; and Brighton, 33 331 per share. The rates of Exchange all exhibited an improvement on those of Tuesday—Amsterdam, 12 51 12 61; Rotterdam, 12 6/ 12 64; Antwerp, 12 41; Ham burgh, 13 11f 13 12 ; Frankfort, 1501 150+; Paris, 25f. 75c. 25f. 80c. ; Vienna, 9 551 9 56 ; Lisbon, 521 52k, all at three months. Although this was the day appointed for settling time bargains in the Bonds, but little variation oc curred in the quotations :—Colombian, 201 21 ; Peru vian, 15 16 ; Portuguese Five per Cents., 354 351 ; the Three per Cents., 204 211 Spanish Five per Cents., 161 16f ; the Three per Cents., 21 211. The departure of the Hindostan steamer to India, via the Cape, has caused some attention in the City. The idea of the possibility of a complete line of ves sels to traverse the route has never yet been aban doned, and parties are sanguine enough to believe that it will ultimately be successfully carried into opera tion. The great obstacle which has hitherto existed is the want of a supply of coals at an intermediate sta tion, but the late discoveries in the neighbourhood of Algoa Bay will, it is supposed, obviate this difficulty. It has been urged that the route through Egypt offers such facilities as will supersede the necessity of the longer passage, and doubtless so long as Mehemet Ali rules in that country, so long will English travellers receive a safe conduct. Sufficient, however, has transpired to show that the safe transit of Europeans is not by any means securely guaranteed across the Desert, and hence the necessity of forming such a fleet, and providing such auxiliaries, as will preclude the necessity of any dependence upon foreign Powers. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The money market has been in the most inactive condition to-day, with scarcely a transaction to note. Consols remain at 92- 7 ,- buyers for Money, and 93 for the Account, with rather more firmness than at the close of business yesterday afternoon ; New Three and-a-Half per Cents., 104 ; India Stock, 250 251; India Bonds, 36 38 ; xchequer Bills, 51 prem. In Foreign Securities the price of Brazilian Bonds has advanced to 68 ; Dutch are also a shade higher, the Five per Cents. being 1001, and the Three per Cents. 52* 52g. The quotation for Mexican is again lower, being 35*. Beyond a purchase in Great Western at 82, and the Half-shares at 594, but a shade higher than yes terday, there has been no business in the Share Market. The Bonds quoted to-day are—Colombian, 204 ; Spanish Five per Cents, l ; the Three per Cents, 20i- for Money, and 211 for the. Account. A letter from a highly intelligent gentleman, re sident in Texas, furnishes some valuable information as to the present condition of that country. Presi dent Houston, at the same time that he is fully pre pared to resist aggression from Mexico, is . quite as anxious to preserve peace, being fully convinced, as he has stated, that tranquillity will prove the only way by which the independence and prosperity of the republic can be maintained. The convention entered into between them, for England to act as a mediator, has alrea dy bad its e'ect, amid although HAMBURGH MAIL. POSEN, AUG. 30.—According to private letters from Kalisch, changes are about to take place favour able to the inhabitants of the kingdom of Poland. The Emperor, it is said, has issued an ukase, which directs that in Warsaw, and probably in all Poland, the Polish language shall be again used as the channel of instruction in the schools, and that 12,000 P o li s h troops shall be organised, commanded by P o li s h officers (except the Staff officers, who are to be Rus sians). It is believed that the Poles will be indebted for this change, if it should take place, to the visit of the King of Prussia to St. Petersburgh. OscnATz, SEPT. 18.—A third part of this town, in which are the largest and finest bu ildin g s, as well as the part inhabited by most of our woollen cloth ma nufacturers, is reduced to ashes, together with the Senate .house, and other public edifices. The number of houses destroyed is 144, and that of the persons burnt out may be from 1,500 to 2,000. DRESDEN, AUG. B.—The ravages of the fire which broke out on the 31st of August, in the Saxon and Bohemian Switzerland, and which still continues, .presented a grand and awful scene, which must make an indelible impression on every feeling heart. On almost the whole way from ninterburg to the Pre bitscher-bischther, where the noblest pine forests, in termixed with the oak and other tim ber of al l kinds, es s i, al l y n o a u t n u g re received the traveller in their refresh in g shades, where fl a o c u h ri ping de sis plantations t: plunged into the sleep of bounded the path on death. On the scorched and ash-coloured ground stand thousands of leafless trunks of trees, or all ages and sizes, turned to charcoal from the roots upwards, and stretching out their branches blackened by the flames and the smoke ; in the ravine, formerly concealed from the eye by the thick foliage of the forest, thousands of them stand witnesses of the dreadful conflagration. A letter from Dresden of the Bth of Sept. in the Prussian State Gazette says—,, The fire in the forest on the frontiers of Saxony and Bohemia is said not to be yet extinguished, but to continue its ravages in the forest of Prince Clevy towards Tetschen." A remarkable circumstance has been observed there, that the fire continues to burn under ground, wholly destroying the roots, s o that the trees which appear to b e un i njure d su ddenly fall down.—Ham burgh Papers, Sept. 13. THE OPERATIVE PROTESTANT - ---- - - AiiOdIATION. .. at the Last night Mrs. Martin held a meeting Assembly Rooms, Theobald's-road, for t he p ur p ose of discussing the merits of the Protestant Operative i Association. She commenced her lecture by n funning her audience that if sh e wou ld condem n an y religious association in L on d on , it would be the Protestant-'Operative Asso c i a ti on , on - - accou nt of its intolerance ; and as Hugh St owe ll W as the main abettor of that association, hi m s h e wou ld attack. In describing the appearance o f th e mee ti n g at Exeter hall, she said she need not i n f orm h er hearers that a great portion of the audi ence cons i ste d o f those most interested in the success of the association — th e cler gy . were also certain persons th ere , emp l oye d Females formed the majo r ity o f t h e audience. There ostensibl to preserve order, but in r ea lit y to e li c it applause.y Claqueurs were to he found i n ot h er places besides theatres. She then proceed e d at l engt h t o combat the opinions and assertions exp resse d b y Mr. Stowell , b ut her address was not of an argumenta tive character. It was indeed little mor e t h an a flat denial, accompanied with some smart pl e asantry, of t h e most objectionable parts of M r. St o well's address. She contented herself with assert i ng t h a t if Catho licism were bad, as Hugh Sto we ll represe nted it to be, Protestantism was as bad —if the Catholics were anxious about their money m a t ters, th e Protestants were not neglectful of the lo aves an d fi s hes. If the Catholics said, "No money, no M ass ," so did Pro testants say "No money no c h r i sten i ng , no money no matrimony," and, as in the case at St. Clement's Danes, "no money no interment." O n co ncluding she expressed the happiness she sh ou ld experience in hearing the opinions of any p erson present, whose v i ews differed from her own, or who was d e sirous of exculpating Hugh Stowell and hi s co ll e agues from the charge of intolerance. N one rose to reply, and after a short pause she declared the meeting at an end. FIELD PREAC HING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Under such circumstances. the Press is the only channel through which such. objectionable proceed ings;can be controlled,. by indignantly putting before the public the obvious tendency of such unseemly exhibitions. It has been, and still is, the practice of a set of ignorant, illiterate '13 1 ?:= to assume the character of . being fitted to explain vulgarity, and Scriptural matters, for which purpose they take up positions in. different parts of . the individuals, unfitted they are for h an o d ld p f r o e r s t u h in , p s t h i o nn w , in i g iwa b . y en t t h ir e e ir ly such vocation.

Kennington-common, Sept. 15, 1842. The following account appears 1 ‘, y in several of the Paris journals : 7 - Some fifteen years ago, a young woman was m arried at Pierin, in the iather extraordinar Cotes du Nord, to a seafaring man, k , who soon after wards went to sea in a ship which was lost, and every condemned soul on board, as it was believed, perished.

SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF A WOMAN.—On Thursday an inquest was held before Mr. Payne, at Guy's Hos pital, on the body of Anne Wheeler, aged forty. Morris Bayne ' shoemaker, of East-street, Wal ivorth, said th a t he first became acquainted with the deceased on Thursday week last, at the house of Mr. Middleton, in Walworth, where she was lodging. On Monday evening last a young man called upon witness by appointment to go out and spend the evening with a woman, and the deceased, who was with them, said she should much like to o. 'They agreed to take her, and a t a b ou t seven o'clock went to a con cert-room in Union-street, Borough, where they re galed themselves until twelve o'clock. At that hour they left, and walked as far as the Surrey Theatre, where they stopped, and had between them a pot of ale and a quartern of rum. They then took a ell), and all four rode in it to Wandsworth. It was then about two o'clock, and the young wo man, Ann Wood, tried to induce the deceased to sleep with her instead of going home . at such an hour. Deceased said she could not remain, and they then made an arrangement with the cab•driver to take the deceased to her residence for 25., is. 6d. of which they gave him there, and proposed to meet him the next evening at the Surrey Theatre with the remain der. They charged him to take her carefully to East-street, Walworth, and then bade her good bye. Witness was much astonished at hearing afterwards that she had not been home, but had been run over in the Kennington-road. The deceased was not quite sober when they parted. Witness had not been able to find the cab or the driver since. The driver was a short man, of rather a florid complexion, and wore a 'sort of sailor's hat and a box coat. The cab was of a dark colour, and had four wheels. John llundergeach, police constable 29 L, said that on Tuesday morning last he was on duty in the Ken nington-road, when he heard the deceased scream. He ran to the spot, and found her lying in the road. She said that she had just been run over. Witness saw two market carts pass a short time before, and sent constables in the direction they took, but they could not overtake them. Deceased was taken to a surgeon, and then to the hospital, where she died on Wednesday evening. The persons who accompanied the decease to the concert-room said they forgot the number of the cab. The CORONER gave directions for inquiries to be made of the turnpike man, and all persons in the road through which the cab passed, who could give any information.—The inquest was then adjourned. An adjourned inquest was held yesterday even ing, at seven o'clock, in the Admission-room of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, before Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, and a jury, on the body of Joseph Ellis, who died in consequence of injuries he received from having been run over by an omnibus in the City road on Monday evening last. The following is the only additional 'evidence given last evening :- Henry Clarke, a cabman, stated that he saw the deceased standing in the middle of the road, while three omnibuses were coming down rapidly. The deceased seemed flurried, not knowing which way to turn. The omnibuses were about ten yards apart — they were not galloping. One of them knocked down the deceased, and the other ran over him. The man was driven about five yards by the first omnibus towards the other, the wheel of which passed over him. John O'Neill, time-keeper to the Conveyance Asso ciation, at the Blue-coat Boy, stated that the Favorite stopped at the Blue-coat Boy 7 minutes, being 6 mi nutes beyond its time. The 1 - lope started at its pro per time, following the Favourite ; the latter omni bus crossed the other on the road. In a few minutes after, the deceased was brought to witness by the con ductor of the Hope, but witness had not seen the acci dent. The Favourite started off like the shot of a gun. In the opinion of witness, if the Favourite had kept its proper place, the Hope•would not have taken the course it did. John Clarke, the conductor of the Hope, stated that on the evening in question William Thomas was the driver of that omnibus. They had not started far when the driver said to witness that there was some thing lying on the road. Witness told him to pul l up; he did so; when witness went back and found the deceased lying down in the road towards the middle of it. Witness had not seen anything what ever of the man until he found him in the road. The omnibus of witness was going at the time at a very gentle pace. The man was lying . in the track of the omnibus as far as witness could judge ; but he had not felt the slightest motion which could induce him to think they had passed over anything. Sarah Ellis said that she was the wife of the de ceased, Joseph Ellis. He was a labouring man, 40 years of age. H. Burmesan, house-surgeon to the Hospital, stated that he had seen the deceased immediately after he had been brought to the Hospital on Monday night. The man had been drinking, and had not been quite sober. The CORONER then addressed the Jury upon the evidence, when they returned the following verdict : --" They did not think there was sufficient evidence To enable them to say how deceased met with his death." REPARATION OF A NATIONAL INSULT. The Toulonnais of the 11th inst. publishes a letter from Tangiers of the 12th ult., announcing the ter mination of the difference which had arisen between France and Morocco. Our readers are already aware that on the 11th of July last shots were fired by some Arabs on the boats of the French frigate Africaine, in the roads of Tangiers. The Governor Sici Bous selam being then absent, immediate satisfaction could not be obtained. Several notes, however, were ex changed between him and M. de Nion, the Charge d'Affaires of France, who on the 6th of August dispatched the steamer Grondeur to Cadiz, to invite M. Turpin, the Commander of the French naval station in that quarter, to repair in stantly to Tangiers. The latter lost no time in complying with the request, and on the 9th he arrived there, and hoisted his flag on board the Africaine frigate. The Governor, in the meantime, had returned to his post. M. de Nion and Com mander Turpin having concerted measures together, notified to him their wish that the affair be settled in twenty-four hours. The reply of the Pacha was satisfactory, and he promised that on the next day full satisfaction should be granted. In the morning of the 10th, accordingly, three native Chiefs waited on Commander Turpin, to apprise him of the decision of the Council. As the offence had been offered at the landing-place, it was determined that the sen tence should be executed on that spot. Eleven prisoners were shortly afterwards brought out, chained together, and with ropes tied round their necks. Among them was the Scheriff Nabdeslam, a man enjoying considerable power in the country. An immense multitude repaired to the beach to witness the carrying into effect the sentence. Lieut. Helain, furnished with full powers from Commander Turpin, wa3 in attendance. The Governor was likewise pre sent. The first prisoner was then brought forward, placed lying on his face, four men holding him by the legs and arms, and two others armed with leather ropes striking him on the back. The latter had scarcely inflicted thirty stripes, when M. Helain made a sign to them to stop. The second only received twenty-eight. Next came the turn of the Scheriff, whose tears and cries so moved M. Helain, that after the sixth blow, he ordered the flogging to be sus nended. The other eight were pardoned. THU QUEEN AT BANNOCKBURN.—At a lit, tance from Stirling, close by the village of St. Ninian's, the road taken by the Royal cortege skirts the field of d(lannoekburn ; and her Majesty saw the spot so fatal to the invaders of a free country by the defeat of the whole power of England. A standard (the union jack) floated proudly from a staff fixed close by the " bored smile," the stone on which tradition still asserts that the Bruce" planted his banner on the morning of the eventful day which gave his country freedom and him self the u ndisputed sovereignty of his peOple. Further on her road the place was pointed out to her Majesty where Randolph, Earl of Murray, and Sir Robert Clif ford fought that deadly fight, which gives the spot to this day the name of " Randall's Field." The " Gillies' Hill," whereon the camp-followers of the Bruce's army a ppeared, to the great dismay of the English forces, during the battle of Bannockburn, changing confusion to total discomfiture and rout; and " Beaton's Mill," the scene of the murder of James 111., after the battle of Saughieburn, also attracted her Majesty's at tention; as the Royal procession passed rapidly along the road to Falkirk. At a little distance from the burgh is the " Torwood," where Wallace concealed him self in the bottom of an old oak tree, in his hour of ex tremity and distress ' • and it was no doubt present in her Majesty's mind, as she looked on this celebrated spot, that it was there Donald Cargill, of dissenting memory, had excommunicated Charles the Second and his brother, James Duke of York, in the midst of the Covenanters. COACH ACCIDENT.—An accident occurred on Mon day evening to the Hendon and Mill-hill coach, on its return from town. When descending Golders-hill, on the north side of Hampstead-heath, the coach, drawn by three horses, came in contact with a fly, which the driver had drawn across the road on the wrong side, and which he neglected to draw aside, notwithstanding the repeated calls to him by the driver of the coach to du so. The consequence was the immediate upset of the coach, for the shock, which was not sufficient to overthrow the fly (a common cue horse Heath fly), broke the pole short asunder at its junction with the bed of the carriage. Most providentially the first plunge of the horses forced the traces over the roller bolts, and they were clear of the coach. The passengers thus escaped the certain destruction which would other wise have overtaken them, lying, as they were (those who had been outside, seven in number, four young women and three gentlemen), immediately in the way of the coach, which fell across the road. There were fire inside passengers, but all escaped with contusions, with the exception of ? the housekeeper of Mr. Kerr, of Mill-hill, whose collar bone was broken. The most serious injury was suffered by one of a party of young women who were riding on donkeys at the foot of the hill ; her arm was broken andhead terribly cut by the run-away horses, who, with the pole at their heels, alloped furiously about the road. little di MODEL of ST. PETER'S at ROME. The model of this splendid temple, now exhibiting in Pall-mall, conveys a faithful picture of the great original. The artist is Signor Gambassini, who has devoted fourteen years to the task. The model itself is on a scale of one to a hundred, but even on this limited scale the base is twenty-five feet in length, and the height twelve feet. Not only are the exterior features represented, but as the whole is ingeniously cut in half, and opens at pleasure, the interior is also shown, with all its chapels, altars, confessionals, statues, and paintings ; nothing has been omitted, the very Mosaic marble pavements in patterns and colours are distinctly shown by different woods; whilst the noblest monuments by Angelo, Canova, and Thorswalden are beautifully carved in ivory. We would strongly recommend those, whose time or means will not permit a visit to the " once mistress of the world," to see this miniature copy of her noblest temple; and to those who have already seen the original, to have their remembrances revived, and those Visions of architectural grandeur renewed, which may now be perhaps forgotten. DARING ROBBERIES. Henry Morgan, a young man, dressed as a la bourer, and apparently about 20 years of age, was placed at the bar at Clerkenwell Police Court, before Mr. Bingham, on a charge of having assaulted and robbed in the streets a number of ladies. Felicita Smith, a widow, residing in Hemming ford-terrace, Islington, stated, that as she was walk ing down Amwell-street, opposite Chadwell-street, a little after ten o'clock last night, the prisoner came up to her, and laid his hand upon her bag. He told her she should give it to him. She resisted, and held it very tight. The prisoner then raised his hand, as if he wanted to strike her. She removed out of his way and screamed, upon which several gentlemen came up, and the prisoner was taken into custody. Jane Whalsby, a young girl, residing in Doughty street, stated, that about half-past nine o'clock last night, the prisoner came up to her in Chadwell street, and said that he should have her bag, or else that he would murder her. She gave it up, and he walked off with it. Mrs. Frances Anderson stated that she had also been robbed last night of her bag and keys under the same circumstances as the other complainants, and in the same neighbourhood. She believed the prisoner was the robber. Police-constable, 71 G, stated that he had taken the prisoner into custody, and afterwards searched him. He had found on his person a number of ladies' bags and other articles. (The articles were produced, and a portion of them were identified by the complainants as their property.) The prisoner said, after his ap • prehension, that it was distress drove him to commit the robberies. The MAGISTRATE said that he should remand the prisoner, in order to give the ladies time to come for ward. He had never known, since the institution of the New Police force an instance of conduct so audacious as that of the prisoner. It reminded one of those scenes which used to take place 150 years ago. The indifference (says a Puseyite clergyman) of of the poorer classes of English emigrants to the Church of their fathers is truly lamentable. The Roman Catholic emigrant, however poor or friendless, retains his attachment to his faith. The German Lutheran is firm in his allegiance to the principles which he held in the land of his nativity. The same may be said of the Scottish Presbyterian, and of the Irish and Scottish Episcopalian. But the English labourer, mechanic, or small farmer, on his arrival in the United States, too often forgets his churchmanship, and, through ignorance or carelessness, readily connects himself with any schis matic conventicle which may be at hand. SURREY THEATRE.—The tragedy of Venice Pre served was played at this theatre last night, the principal characters were sustained by Messrs. Butler, Elton, and Mrs llonner, and we have seldom seen it played with greater effect. The acting of Mrs. Honner as Belvidera was chaste and elegant, and Mr. Elton displayed great skill and energy in representing Jaffier. The perform ance altogether was creditable to the Surrey, and elicited loud applause. All Ili BROOK, SEPT. 15.—Barnes, the butler at Lady Lisle's, was brought up before the Magistrates yester day, charged with robbing her Ladyship of jewellery, plate, and cash, of the value of between 2,000/. and 3,000/. From the evidence given it appeared that the butler, gardener, and a maid-servant were concerned in the IN ibbery. STRAND THEATRE.—This theatre will close on Saturday next, after a very brilliant and successful season. The benefit of Mr. Hall, the spirited manager, is fixed for Tuesday, when the entertainments will be of a very superior character, and, we hope, will attract a numerous audience. Mr. Peter Ewart, the chief engineer in her Ma jesty's dockyard, Woolwich, who was so seriously in jured on the 7th instant, died at twenty minutes past five on Thursday morning, after suffering great and lingering pain. He was superintending the testing of chain cables for the use of her Majesty's ships of war, when a link snapped, and the end of the chain struck him across the chest and drove him against the dockyard wall. The de ceased, who was 70 years of age, had been a long time in the service, and was much esteemed as a.skilful and assiduous officer. Rubini has always been remarkable for his correct and punctual performance of his duty to the public. Ilis name has never been once coupled with a trait of caprice, negligence, or disrespect ; nor with any of the intrigues, jealousies, or quarrels of the green-room. In the whole course of his private life he has, by the gene ral testimony of those who best know him, been as much esteemed for his probity as loved for his kindness of heart. The large emoluments justly due to his talents have not been squandered by improvidence ; and - he must have the means of spending the evening of his days in ease and honour.— Muinzer's Musical Times. _ _ _ A box, containing a couple of black and white mice, arrived at the Bath post-office yesterday, from Bradford, Wilts, addressed to " Miss Allen, care of J. H. Allen, Esq., Porth Cawl, near Pyle, Glamorganshire." This strange packet was duly forwarded to Bristol, the inmates appearing to be in good health and spirits. The weight was under five ounces.—Devizes Gazette. _ Alton Towers, the noble seat of the Earl of Shrews bury, is at the present time the scene of great festivi ties ; his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, accom panied by the Duchess of Inverness, arrived on Friday last, and has remained ever since, to enjoy this princely mansion, and visit the delightful and romantic scenery for which this neighbourhood is so remarkable. Among the numerous company who have had the honour of meeting his Royal Highness, may be mentioned — Prince and Princess Doric, Pamphili, Lord and Lady Dormer, Sir Charles and Miss Tempest, General and Madame d'Haine, HDn. Mr., Mrs., and Miss Bertie Percy, &c. We are happy to add that his Royal High ness is in the enjoyment of excellent health. The Havre journals give an account of the fall of a part of the cliff at Octeville, above the town, between the Crouquct and the Mouliere, to the extent.of 200 yards in length by 25 yards in depth. By a most fortunate chance no one was on that point at the time, although through out the morning the cliff was almost crowded with per- sons taking their exercise. During a violent gale of wind on Saturday last, Captain Corfinat, of the Elodie Antoine, lying at Hon fleur, perceiving the signal of distress flying on board the brig Jason, in the offing, immediately ordered out and manned his boat and hastened to her assistance, but, as he was attempting to get on board he was blown into the sea by the violence of the wind. Several of his sailers plunged after him, and got him into the boat again. He made another attempt to mount the Jason's side, but was, from the height of the sea, compelled to give it up, and return to port: As the Jason remained in great danger, another boat went off to her, but she was struck by a wave, which washed out one of the men and nearly filled her with water. The poor fellow's rnessinates, though their own lives were at stake, struggled with the storm, saved him, baled out the boat, and persevered till they reached the Jason and got upon her deck. They found her in a perilous state, with only two men on board, they having determined to stand by her, though the rest of the crew had abandoned her the day before. By, the skill and fortitude of the men who had joined them,.the Jason was brought into Honfleur on Sunday in a very shattered condition. THE QUEEN'S RETURN FROM SCOTLAND.—The Lord Mayor received a letter from Sir James Graham, in answer to one from his Lordship, requesting to be in • formed whether it would please the Queen that he should meet her Majesty as Conservator of the Thames, on her return to London, It stated that as the hour of her Ma jesty's arrival was uncertain,• she wished all ceremonies of the conservancy of the river Thames to be dispensed with. DUBLIN, SEPT. 14.—1 t would appear from a para graph in the Freeman's Journal of this day, that in addi tion to the duties of the Irish Secretaryship, Lord Eliot exercises the powers and authority vested in the Lord Chamberlain in England ; namely, the right of censor ship over the drama. A play, entitled Lord Edward, or . Forty Years Since, founded, I believe , upon some inc o i r dents in the life of Lord Edward Fitzgera ld, had been for some time in preparation at Abbey-street Theatre,b but ,_ excited the name of the production having, prb the attention of Lord Eliot, his Lords p a sent for the manager, intimating at the same time t " that he should bring " ord Edward" in his pocke,and having cast a lay was hurried glance at the manuscript the forth with incontinently d—d ;in other .werdsp, his Lordship peremptorily ordered its su pres u s_i a o i n er u af n t de t r be p m en a a n l a ty ge o r t , ' the forfeiture of the patent. Mr. . , havinr , incurred considerable expense. in preparing for the representation, made an application to Lord Eliot for compensation ; but his Lordship has not condescended to reply. It is right to state that the author offered to sub mit the manuscript to the Law Officers of the Crown, and in the event of their deciding that there was any thing improper either in the dialogue or incidents to withdraw it of his own accord ; but the censor was in exorable. He had already decided that it should not be produced, and " expostulations and entreaties" were, to use his own words, " equally unaviling."

Clerc Smith, Henrietta-street. • The September Number of this periodical Opens with a notice of Cyril Lucar, the Patriarch of Con. stantinople, coeval with our Jranes the *First and his successor Charles. A document appears in the course of the article, illustrative of the state of the Greek Church in the Patriarch's time ; and, in a statement of its ceremonies, is noticed a curious, but now obso lete, observance in the performance of the Eucharist. It was Qntitled " The Ceremony of the Sacred Parti cles." These particles were nine in number, consisting of very minute portions of bread, and a tenth of St. Mary the mother of the Lord, which, after the pouring of the wine and water into the cup, being taken from one loaf of oblation, were placed near the bread of the Eucharist.-- This ceremony was intended to signify that the condition of the saints is even now happy, an& being joined as members to their heavenly Head, tri umph with him.

MURDER IN FRANCE. A trial for murder, attended with a remarkable in cident, took place on the 3d inst., before the Court of Assize of the Indre-et-Loire. A man, named Cathelin, was charged with having poisoned a widow, named Porcher, by miring arsenic in her soup. The evi dence against the prisoner was circumstantial, but very strong. The existence of a considerable quan tity of arsenic in the body of the deceased left no doubt of the poison having been administered. Cathelin, who had an interest in her death. as he had to pay to her a life annuity for some property, was alone in the house whilst the soup was preparing, he was present with his wife .and mother-in-law whilst the widow - was dying, and his mother-in-law swore that he had thrown away the remainder of the soup, in which were, she said, grains of a substance 'like broken sugar:. He had applied to the Mayor of his village for a certificate authorising him to purchase arsenic to poison rats, which, however, the Mayor had refused, and it was sworn by a witness that Cathelin, in a conversation with him, had stated that he was not troubled with rats. The only circumstance in his favour, with the exception of the following incident, was that the possession of arsenic could not be very clearly traced to him. The evidence of the Cure de Manthelan, who came forward on the behalf of the prisoner, produced a deep impression. This eccle siastic stated that, a short time before the death of the widow, who had a bad reputation, she had called on him, and, after saying that she was very unhappy on account of the number of her enemies, and a charge of theft that had (been made against her, added that she was resolved to destroy herself. The Cure remonstrated with her, but without effect. When he heard of her death, and that Cathelin was accused, he went to the examining Magistrate of bodies, who was charged to receive the depositions in this affair, and stated the above fact, but the Ma gistrate refused to take down his deposition. Against the probability that the deceased had poisoned herself; was the declaration of several witnesses on the trial, that, after having taken the soup, she said some body had been guilty of a grande sottise, meaning that. some hurtful ingredient had certainly been put into her soup, and recommending that what remained of it should be carefully preserved. The statement of the Cure, however, was considered so important by the Jury, that, after a deliberation of only a quarter of an hour, they returned a verdict of acquittal. In the interval between the two days that the trial lasted, the President of the Tribunal sent an express to the. examining magistrate, to inquire why he had refused to receive the deposition of the Cure. The answer communicated to the Court was, that the examining magistrate did not consider that it bore upon the case. DISCOVERY ON SABLE ISLAND. The Halifax papers of last week publish the fol lowing singular discovery :—The following facts have been made known to us by a gentleman of this city, who has had his information from the best authority —viz., Capt. Darby, sen., Governor (as he is called) of Sable Island. For the last 25 or 30 years there has been a large mound or pyramid of sand about 100 feet high, on the island, and not very far from the residence of Captain Darby. The winds for some years have been gradually diminishing its height, and after a severe blow some weeks since it was completely blown away; and, singular to say, a number of small houses, built of the timbers and planks of a vessel, were quite visible. On examination they were found to contain a number of articles of furniture and stores, put up in boxes, which were marked " 43d Regiment ;" the boxes or eases were perfectly rotten, and would not admit of their being removed. A brass dog-collar was, however, discovered by Captain Darby, with the nanie of " Major Elliot, 43d Regiment," on it, and which Captain Darby brought to the city, and presented to Major Tryon, who belongs to the 43d Regiment.—Halifax Herald. Captain Darby has endorsed this extraordinary announcement. Ad dressing the editor of the Herald, o n .l Wednesday baseo i, he says :—" The houses are appearing at a hill about two miles long,nand 60 o r loeet high, e lying parallel with the south coast of the tf ; vegetation, about 3 5 N covered with grass an the eastern end of whic d h about 55 feet high, other feet below the surface, and 23 above the level of the sea; these houses appear a s the sands year away with the action of the winds.

Lord Hill has, we learn, lately rallied most sur prisingly. Before his departure from town for llarfl wicke Grange, his Lordship's friends and medical at tendants entertained serious apprehensions for his re -1 covery, and he was compelled to remain some days at Birmingham before he could be removed into Shrop shire ; but the influence of his native air produced a I favourable effect on the spirits of the noble and gallant Lord, who exclaimed that the sight of the Wrekin had put him all to rights. Yesterday morning, about six o'clock, as two of the Thames police were rowing in a galley near the Surrey side of London -bridge, they discovered the body of di female in the water. On being taken ashore it was found to be a young woman, about eighteen or nineteen years o f age. 'The body had apparently not been in the water mor e than a few hours. The deceased was dressed in a dark cotton gown with red and black spots, blue spotted apron. black stockings (having a pair of white ones u nderneath) ; in her pockets were a thimble, scissors. and some small shells. From the circumstance of her head being closely shaven, it is supposed she had escaped from some of the hospitals or lunatic asylums. d e hotis A- e :- committed suicide.
