The French Papers are entirely occupied with articles on the frightful heath of the Duke of Orleans. The Debats says : " A Prince ever to be regretted has perished. Let us weep for the loss; let us console his noble family by manifestations of affection. Let France watch over the orphan Princes, the noble and affecting inheritance left to us by their father. Let the remembrance of the Duke of Orleans be their protection I Public grief is but too just for a young and beloved Prince—a Prince full of hope and promise has perished. But our insti tutions remain, and they are our own work. The monarchy is erect, and the King and his children sustain it. The Chambers, our Deputies, the Deputies of France are about to give to us the support of the national will. The Legislature will provide for everything , and the destinies of a great nation will not, un less it should abandon itself, be at the mercy of ono of those terrible, but ordinary accidents, to which even the most pre. cious lives are exposed." _ _ The Constitutionncl speaks thus briefly of the convocation of the Chambers :—" This measure is entitled to our entire approbation. On this sad and solemn occasion, the repre sentatives of the country must rally round the Throne, and convey to it the homage and the consolation of France. There is besides a very grave question to be submitted to it—viz., that of the Regency. This cannot be postponed, fur the de cision of the Chamber will be an immense guarantee for the country." The ourrier Francais, alluding to the Regency question, says:—" The King no doubt will live long enough to resume and continue, for the benefit of his grandson, the great task which falls upon all founders of dynasties. France, however, requires to be insured against all events that may happen. The heir to the throne being an infant just out of its cradle, it becomes necessary to constitute a Regency which may exer cise the Royal functions during the minority of the Count de Paris, in case of a demis , : of the Crown. This will be the first duty of the Chambers about to meet.. France still wishes to maintain what she established in 1830, and she is sufficintly strong to enforce her will. We must not, however, disguise from ourselves the fact that the disastrous accident which has snatched the Duke of Orleans from the Royal Family and the country is of a nature to revive the pretensions of certain parties, Believing the existing Govern ment to have been weakened, they will become more confident and enterprising. It is, therefore, the duty of the Powers that be, to do that which will render all these endeavours im potent and vain." The National has an article which does not appear to have been written under the impress of any great grief at the loss which France has sustained. '1 he France, one of the organs of the legitimatist party, has the following. It is purposely mysterious, but not so much so that the meaning of the writer may not be seen :—" Everybody is busy in discussing the prospects of France. The Prince who bas just been struck in so fatal and so unexpected a manner was the object of many hope's with those men who remained faithful to the first illusions of the revolution of July. It appeared to them that, at his probable accession to the throne, he would operate a sort of restoration of the principles proclaimed in 1830, and which have been so much departed from since. The event of July 13 extinguishes those hopes, and opens the way to other ideas." A rumour, which we notice only for its absurdity, was cur rent in Paris on Wednesday and Thursday, of a rising of the Chartists in London. According to one version, the Queen had been made a prisoner by them, and confined in the Tower. According to another, the had been compelled to fly for secu rity to Windsor. The Gazette de France of yesterday evening has been hoaxed into a belief of the reality of an outbreak. It says :—" At the moment of going to press, we received from a source worthy of credit the following information, which ap pears to confirm the news which was current yesterday A vague report has been spread that the Queen has been obliged to quit London. This news is perfectly true. The flight of the Queen to Windsor is said to have been occasioned by the most grave events, such as the assassination of a Minister, &c. &c. In short, London is in open revolution.'" PUBLIC OPINION. 'The Times finds fault with the present Administration for being too liberal, and following up too closely the policy of its predecessors :—" It will be generally admitted, that few causes contributed more to the downfal of the Whig Administration, than the utter want of confidence of the Church of England, and the whole respectable part of the nation, in their principles of action upon moral and religious subjects. Under these cir cumstances it deserves to be noted, that every discussion upon questions of a high moral, religious, or social importance, which has yet taken place under the auspices of the Conservative Go vernment, has exhibited the strictest identity of view between the members of that Government and their predecessors. As impartial chroniclers, we call attention to the fact, without for the present drawing from it all the inferences which it might warrant. As a fact it is undeniable, that statesmen who but a short time since either abetted, or at least did not check, the csatcry of their friends and supporters against measures whi , :h were then stigmatized as immoral, irreligious, anti-social, and unconstitutional, are now the most zealous and eloquent main tainers of those same measures and the principles on which they are founded. Whatever may constitute the difference be tween the political sect of Sir Robert Peel and that of Lord John Russell, it is clear that it does not consist in the posses sion by the former of any theory or code of practice, or rule of expediency, as to matters of this nature, which was un known to or disregarded by the latter. There is an end of that dream fsr ever. Sir Robert Peel may be an abler and a stronger Minister, more patient, cautious, and prac tical ; of counsels less fluctuating ; less accessible to the sinister influences from the dregs of his party, more deter mined to take experience for his guide, less jaundiced in his view of the past, more incapable of being led by faction into any dangerous excesses. But men of different principles they are not? and it is only due to the Whigs to say, that Sir Robert Peel, Lord Wharntliffe, and Lord Eliot, have, by their recent conduct and speeches, plainly shown that they ' have studied in the same school of moral and political philosophy with their predecessors. The debate on the estimates on Fri day contained as many evidences of this, as any previous de bate has done, those en the Poor-law only excepted. The subjects discussed were, the Committee of Council on Educa tion in England, the Government plan of education in Ireland. and the payment of ministers of religion in the colonies. Upon every one of these points, it seems, the present Ministers have satisfied themselves, on official acquaintance with the facts, that nothing better than the plans of the late Government could possibly be devised, and they are applying themselves earnestly to carry out those plans. The hopeful converts arc applauded to the echo by Liberals of every shade, by whom this policy was always advocated, but who never before found it in so fair a way to prosper as at present." We quote the following from the Herald :—" The princi ples of a great party are not indicated by the extreme opinion which may he uttered by the more enthusiastic or violent of its members. Sir R. Peel and his colleagues are no more bound by the sentiments uttered or the course adopted by Mr. Plumptre or Colonel Sibthorp, while in opposition, than is Lord John Russell or Lord Melbourne by the nonsense of which Mr. Joseph Hume now nightly disburdens himself. Push the opinions entertained by Sir Robert Peel, to excess, and we have ultra Toryism; carry out Lord John Russell's to their legitimate conclusion, and we have ultra Radicalism. This comparison between the ultima thole of either views in dicates the superiority and wisdom of those entertained by the Premier." The Post remarks that the attacks of the Tory press on some of the measures of the Tory Government, are convincing proofs of the great strength of the latter, observing—" The animadversions of the Conservative press upon some of the measures of the Conservative Government, indicate the earn estness, the zeal, the independence, and the integrity of that press, and of its readers, in the performance of what they deem their duty to the interests and the rights of the community ; bat indicate still more clearly their conviction that there is no danger whatever of so great a national calamity as the resump tion of power by any such Administration as that of Lord Melbourne. It is one of the advantages of a strong Go- vernment like that of Sir Robert Peel, as contrasted with a weak Government like that of Lord Melbourne, an advantage to which no genuine English Tory can be inebfferent, that the former revives the monarchical principle, and gives to the Exe cutive, as such, a considerable share in determining the course of national affairs and events. Sir R. Peel is not, as Lord Melbourne was, a nominal Prime Minister of a nominal Crown. This is a great change." The Chronicle, after alluding to the present distressed state of the manufacturing districts, goes on to say :—" When men possessed of a deep stake in the country are made desperate by circumstances which they are unable to control, and hold lan guage like that which we have cited, the time calls for deter minate action. Englishmen are not easily thrown off their ba lance. They abhor, too, all means which are not strictly re concileable with constitutional forms. But it is obvious that in the manufacturing districts society is rapidly approaching to a state of utter disorganization. Under such circumstances it behoves all men of property to reflect how much depends on making a proper use of the interval which still admits of delibe ration. The motion of Mr. Thomas Duncombe, on Thursday next, holds out to the despairing multitudes a last ray of hope. Should they be disappointed, we tremble to think of what the consequences may be. The edifice of British industry is mag nificent, but should one part of it fall, who shall say what may be the fate of the remainder?" IVIONEY—TRADE — CONINIERCE. At Blackburn trade has been worse this past week, and slacker also at Halifax and Rochdale. At Bradford, Leeds, Manchester, business has been brisker. A meeting of the creditors of Messrs Acraman, Morgans, and Co., the large iron .founders of Bristol, took place on Fri- , day in that town. The liabilities of the firm are estimated at ' about 300,0001., in addition to those of their several estates. Debts to the amount of nearly 84,0001. were proved. Trea surers and assignees were elected. Two additional cotton-mills at Manchester, belonging to Mr. Guest, and which employed some 500 or 600 hands, stopped last week. The extensive Salford mills, employing 1,000 men, women, and children, are also standing still. The Potteries are still in a most disturbed state, many of the shops are closed. The colliers are levying contributions in several places, and even stopping provision-carts going to market. 'T hey are also armed with sticks and bludgeons. It is stated that if the colliers do not resume work next week, the potters will be thrown out of work for want of coal, and the distress amongst thousands of families will then be dread.ul. LAW AND POLICE. Upwards of 1,000 individuals are at this time in confinement in Coldhath• fields prison, for various offences. Thomas Seymour was found guilty and sentenced to trans portation for life at the Bedford assizes on Friday, for setting fire to the premises of William Kitchen, at Pours's. In the county of Huntingdon there are only three prisoners for trial at the present assizes. At Newcastle also the calendar is light, there being only nine eases in the county, and seven in the town. The Carmarthenshire assizes were opened on Friday, and the Gravid Jury discharged, after judgment had been passed on the on) , two cases. THnATRICAL. Mr. and Mrs. C. Keats left town yesterday for Antwerp, on their way to the Mine and Switzerland. The first juvenile fele for the season at Vauxhall Gardens is announced for to-morrow. The next performance of Rossini's &abut Mater will take place at her Majesty's Theatre on Friday. COUU.T-FASHIONABLE. he Duke of 13uccleuch1;:s a large dinner-party to-day at Richmond.

We are sorry to state that Lord Fitzgerald is dangerously ill at his house in Belgrave-square, Lord and Lady John Russell arrived on Friday at Minto House, where they intend passing several weeks. :YEISCELMATIZOUS. During the experiments made at Deal, on Thursday, with large guns, a 56-pounder burst into four pieces, and injured, though slightly, five men in the service. A memorial, which received 30,000 signatures in one day, has been forwarded by the people of Manchester to M. Philips, and M. Gibson, Esqs., Members for that borough, far pre sentation, which shows that they believe the country to be on the eve of a revolution; that they are utterly without hope that the Legislature will accord them justice, and requesting their representatives, in common with all the Liberals of the house of Commons, to stop all supplies to Government. There are five competitors from Oxford for the Head-mas tership of Rugby school, and seven from Cambridge. The an nual income is estimated at about 4,000/. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS.

The Bands quoted to. day are—Colombian, 21i ; and Spanish Five per Cents., 21. The most important part of the intelligence by the Britannia is the fact of the President havir ' r put his veto to the Tariff Bill. His reasons assigned for so doing appear to be satisfac tory to most thinking minds, and the unwillingness expressed to alter tae fundamental principle of the " Compromise Act," for the sake of a temporary expedient, is viewed as correct. The excess of duty over 20 per cent. was by this law to cease in these proportions : —One-tenth one the Ist January, 1834; another tenth at the commencement of 1836, 1838, and 1840, one-half the residue on the Ist January, 1842, and the remainder on the Ist of this present month, so that now no higher duty than 20 per cent. is levied. This intelligence is of great consequence to our manufacturers, as, by the proposed arrangement, most of our productions would have been virtually prohibited. Trade appears to be still exceedingly dull, and the anticipations which had been formed of a revival in the autumn, are now not near so strongly supported as they had been. A copy of our new tariff had arrived out, and the markets for provisions and lard had become brisk, so that some extensive importations of these articles may shortly be expected. Occasion has been frequently taken to point out the real nature of American State Stocks, and the rea sons then assigned as a caution against dealing in them on this side of the Atlantic find additional force in the fact that Arnansas has been added to the list of repudiators. The ex cuse given for this proceeding is, that the banks have failed in fulfilling their engagements ; if such he tenable, and payment of State obligations be dependent upon banking institutions, then it may be fairly surmised that not one single State is solvent.

BRUSSELS, JULY 16.—The //dependent announces the following important intelligence in a few lines, the too great conciseness of which is to be regretted We are able toannounce that our negotiations at Paris have obtained from the French Government the exception to the ordinance of the 26th of June. The convention was to have been signed yesterday, but the death of the Duke of Orleans will probably cause the signature to he delayed for a few days." Their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians, in d ee p mourning, left the Palace of Lacken this morning at eight o'clock. They proceeded to the south station of the iron railway, wkere several persons of distinction had preceded them. Their Majesties were accompanied by the Baroness d'Hoogh vorst and Captain d'Hanim de Aloerkerke. Their Majesties' suite were also in mourning. The trains set out at half-past eight. The Magistrates of Liege have resolved that the fete in hopou; of Gretry shall .be celebrated with some modifications, though the degrable event of the death o f t h e Poke of Orleans will prevent the King arid Queen from honor ins them with their pmenCe' THE ANTI-CORN-LAW CONFERENCE. (THIS DAY.) The Delegates re-assembled this morning . at Twelve o'Clock, at the King's A rms , P a l ace - yar d. P. A. TAYLon, Esq., in taking the Chair, said they were met to commence another week's labours. Ile thought the position in which the country was placed showed them that it was well that they should remain at their posts, for he thought it was quite evident, both from the public papers and numerous private correspond ence,, that the feeling —th e percept i on of the intensity of the distress and the abs o l u t e necess i ty o f i mme di ate relief was extending itself daily. lie thought it was well that the Conference should rem a i n together, for w hil e t h ey were there as the organs of th ousands who ha d depute d them. there was a hope that, t h ey b e i ng the mouth-pieee— their giving utterance to the expression of distress and suffiTing, would have a tendency to extend the pati ence of their constituents, and their willingness to endure to the utmost possible degree. lle (the Chairman) thought that, when the time arrived that they (the Delegates) would go home, satisfied that at present it was impossible to arouse the m a d infatuated qu i e t u d e — that it was impossible to arouse the attention of the governors to the distress of the country—when that time arrived that they should disperse, he believed that the last glimmer of hope would be gone, and it would be impossible to say h ow f earful the consequences would be. In commencing their labours he had selected a portilin of the correspondence, which he would read, for the letters poured in from all quarters. The first that he would read was the answer of the Duke of Wel lington to an application made to him on Friday last, to receive a deputation from the Conference:— London, July 16, 1842. Field-Mardial the Duke o f W e lli ngton presents his compli ments to Air. Taylor. He is not in office in the Queen's po'itieal service. He is not entrusted with the exercise of political power. He has no control over those who are. He begs to be excused for declining to receive the visits Ff deputations fr( m associations, or of ►ndividual gentlemen, in order to converse with him upon public affairs. But if any gentlemen think proper to give him, in writing, information or ►nstruction upon any subject, he will peruse the same with attention. P. A. Taylor, Esq., Brown's Hotel. The Duke has received three notes from Mr. Tailor on this subject. The ad and accompanied by marks of surprise e o r f id th ic i u s le no o te n is as the • part of the gentlemen r present, The CHAIRMAN then read the following communica tion from Manchester. The resolution it contained had been signed by upwards of 30.000 persons in one day:- 5, Newall's-building, Manchester, July 15, 1842. Sir,—At a meeting of the Manchester Anti-Corn-law Aso ciation, held this evening, it was moved by Mr. Alderman Brooks, seconded by Mr. F. Warren, and carried unanimously:— " That, believing this country to be on the eve of a revolu tion, and being utterly without hope that the Legislature will accord justice to the starvinj millions, a requisition be firth with prepared. signed, and forwarded to the Members of this borough, calling upon them, in conjunction with other Liberal Members, to offer every possible opposition to the taxation of a prostrate people for the purposes of a bread. taxing aristocracy, by argument and other constitutional impediments, that the wheels of Government may be arrested through the rejection or prevention of all votes of supply." It was also further resolved—" That, for the purpose of giv ing greater effect to this movement, the Members for other boroughs ought to be similarly addressed by their several con stituencies ;" and the Committee trust you will see the neces sity and propriety of immediately originating a meeting in your borough in furtherance of such object. I am, Sir, your obe dient servant, JOHN BRINDLE, Sec. The following letters were then read : Chorley, June 16th, 142. Dear Sir,—l received your note of the 14th inst., and in reply, I beg to say we are sorry we cannot arrange so as to send a Deputation from Chorley at this time to meet you in conference; yet, though we cannot be personally present amongst you, our heart is with you, and we wish you God speed, for xott are engaged in a righteous cause. Whilst I have my pen in my hand, I would just beg leave to say that things seem to be gradually getting worse amongst us. Paupers are upon the increase, and poor-rates are also getting heavier.; indeed it is a wonder how many with large families get a putting on, for there are many families around us who never taste anything for a whole day together. And, Sir, to give you some faint idea of the privations which those are enduring who are in full work, there are able-bodied men (weavers) who nave to fetch work ten miles distant from their homes, labour at it a whole week, take it back, and for all that, only receive five shillings. These are not solitary cases; I could even mention worse than these, were it necessary. And, Sir, the tradesmen and shopkeepers are suffering most severely from the depressed state of the times. Ido assure you, Sir, I do not know of one shopkeeper (and I have as good means of knowing as any one here) in Chorley, who is doing well ; I do know this, that four out of five are in a ruinous state—and all this is attributable to the high prices of provisions, for the people cannot earn what they can consume. I am, Sir, yours truly, JNO. HOD GKINSON. To P. A. Taylor, Esq., London. Carlisle, July 16th 1842, Dear Sir,—l feel myself highly honoured by your communi cation of the 14th inst. We have had two meetings respecting sending some one to London. A resolution was passed, a copy of which would be forwarded to the Conference. For my own part, (I may say), had not my professional duties been su c h as to pre vent me at this time, I believe I should have been proud to have' added one to your truly honourable and praiseworthy body, on my own account. I may inform you that if the operative spin ners and weavers are not so ill off in Carlisle as they are in many other places, it is entirely owing to the stability and per 'everance of their employers. The carpenters, joiners, masons, and bricklayers have little, and many of them nothing to do. Pair-rates increasing, and more houses to let than ever I remember. Oh, SAr, when so much distress is abroad, it is monstrous to withhold from a suffering and starving people the kind and bountiful Providence of God. May the Almighty bless and prosper your labours, and crown them with success, is the prayer of your's, truly, THOS. SHEFFIELD. Easton, July 16, 1842. Sir,—Although this is a week when most of us are fully engaged in making up our accounts, or attending the Iron Masters' Quarterly Meetings, yet we held a meeiing of the Free Trade Association Committee immediately upon the receipt of your printed Circular, dated July 14, and I am happy to inform you that one spirit animated us all, and we at once re solved that our esteemed triend, the Rev. W. H. Bonner should again visit London as our deputation to the Con ference; that he should, if necessary, remain a fort night, and if the Conference continued its sittings, he should be relieved by our treasurer, Mr, E. B. Drinck. We feel with you that this is an important crisis, and we ear nestly hope some good will be effected by the Conference pre vious to the proroguing of Parliament, otherwise we fear much an increase of distress, and the coming winter will drive the at' present patient and peaceable working classes to desperation. The distress its this town is daily on the increase ; we have now three relieving officers, where we formerly found one sufficient. Yesterday the Board of Guardians were engaged from nine o'clock, A. 5t., till eight o'clock, r.st., in in vestigating the cases of the applicants, end they have appointed a Committee to assist the relieving officer during the week. To-night a general notice has been given the miners and col liers for a reduction of their wages another ten per cent. ; and the Iron Masters' Quarterly Meeting at Birmingham, on Thursday last, was one of the worst ever known. Surely, the Government will try and do something to open the channels of I our trade, so that there may be " employment for the people, and bread for them to eat." I remain, Sir, sours, very respectfully, ROBERT BEW, Vice-President of the Bilston Free Trade Association. To G. Thompson, Esq., Secretary of the Anti-Corn daw Conference, London. Dalquhoun, near Dumbarton, July 16, 1342. Sir,—l am this morning favoured with your circular of the 14th. The bad state of my health precludes the possibility of my going to London at this moment; and as I leave home on Monday with a view to the recovery of my health, I shall not have it in my power to do much personally in aid of your cause. I have, however, put your circular into the hands of my excel. lent friend, the Rev. A. Somerville, of Dumbarton (author of the Address of the Edinburgh Conference), than whom the cause has no more zealous, able, or active partisan. You may, therefore, depend that whatever can be done, will be done. With best wishes for the success of your endeavours, I re 'main, yours respectfully, J. STIRLING. P. A. Taylor, Esq., London. Beaminster, July 16, 1842. Sir,—Your circular I duly received, but am sorry to say we cannot afford to send a Deputy from this town, we are feeling deeply the sad effects of those starvation laws. When I was at the Conference in February, I stated that our poor's rates in 1836 and 1837 were 1,1001.,. the year ending March, 1842, they were 2,600/., and for this summer half year two rates have been ordered amounting to 1,6004 This is sufficient to prove what a state trade is in in this town. We are surrounded by an agricultural population, and I believe them to be in a far worse state than when they rose in this and the ad joining counties in 1836, and, I hope to give you some particu lar statement in a day or two to prove it. At the time I refer to I was in correspondence with Lord Yeoman r y Cavalry were raised to keep them down , an d to kee p up the accursed Corn- Portman on the sad condition of the labouring population ; hr then urged on me the necessity of quelling the mob. and then he said their condition must be inquired i nto. I f o ll owe d hi s advice, and was sworn in a speci a l constable with- most of my fellow trad e s men ; happily, the mob was he p as quelledoer starving w t ho without wretches?ou r a s s Why,anee But what was done for theirp persons), laws. With all the boast of the aristocrac y about the happy con dition of the peasantry , I h ave no hesitati on in saying, they were never worse off than t he y are at the present time, anti if the manufacturing distric ts and the agricult u r al labourers will join them—call me a f ool, if ever I p rote ct anything be in the continued supply of j°BEPll T w i •o T rk for E Rochdal e , J u l y 16, 1842. al omnTrusting t u h ry e sn a fna r r i i st thendeavours e e p will (excepting i ng e7nil. with success, I be crowned moat D eanrf theSir,—Onhands acco u ntmliloy of f d the wooll en tra d e, Rochdale has not suffered near so m uch as man y other places, yet it i s very evident the pressure is constantly increasing. Br icksetters, joiners, and many other trades are sufferin g m uch from want of work, consequently shopk ee p ers, butchers, sh oemakers, tailors, &c., complain of want of t rade. e One master bricksetter, who at this time of the year usually employed from thirty to fifty hands, told me a few days ~,,,;, that now he has scarcely work enough for himself and son. Similar evidence of the deplorable want of trade is very abun dant. Take, for instance, my trade. Our present busine:s connexion is the growth of twenty-eight years of diligent ap plication. During most of these years, without travelling to seek orders, we have had as many as we could execute ; but for two years back they have gre atly fallen off, so that now, ime in solicit in r though I spend much of more than four h orders, we are nor . ' employed. on the average, ruinously low, and we are constantly .becoming worse. I find the amount of wages paid this week is the l east we have paid for many, many years. The prospect of winter is, therefore, very painful to every reflecting mind. Many foundries in this county, both large and small ones, have ceased to work altoget her during the last eighteen months, and unless trade soon revives, many more must stop, either to save the remaining part of their property f rom t h e j aws of unre munerating prices, or of necessity to be at once gazetted, and I fear that in these respects most trades are in the same condition. I assure you, as I believe, nothing less than the removal of commercial restrictions, especial!) , that giant curse, " The Corn-laws," will restore permanent prosperity. I cannot rest satisfied until this is accomplished, and free -trade principles (which are our right) esablished. Wishing . you health and success in the cause you se nobly espouse, I am, yours t ru l y , To Mr. J. Bright. JOHN PETRIE.

They have filled up one coal-pit with coals that could not be sold ; they say they may as well fight for it as be starved to death. I sent our foreman, James Bain this afternoon, and he has seen some of them. They live by in timidating p eo pl e t o supp l y t h em w i t h f oo d, as th e y t ram p from place to place in such large bodies. An old collier of ours, named Birch, told Bain that he had gone with the rioters one day, and they had engineers ‘i ill them, to st,p all the engines, or to let men into or ont of the pits, &c. The road was filled for seven miles with the rioters. They had beaten some police officers, &c. tv,c. There are thousands of colliers in this county whose earnings only amount to a few shillings weekly. They are starving ; anti their present wants and distress will be greatly increased by outrages of this kind. Things are deplorab!y had. (In haste). I am, very affectionately thy brother, July 16, 1842. THOMAS ASHWORTH. (The Meeting had not concluded when we went to Press.) THE SHUGBOROUGH HALL SALE This long-expected event approaches; and as we feel that our readers, who have so repeatedly seen the auction announced in our columns, may take some interest in a sale which opens to the word treasures of no inestimable kind, we deem some information as to the place and property will not be considered unseasonable. Shughborough Hall is not far distant from the county town of Stafford, and has fur time immemorial been the seat of the Anson family. It was much improved and the mansion en larged by the celebrated admiral and circumnavigator whose conquest of the Span:sh galleons brought considerable riches to an ancient family, and enabled him to increase the landed estate, and adorn the Hall with pictures of the highest class, and statutes of the ancient sculptors, which his love of the fine arts, and almost constant communication with the Mediterranean, at that time rendered easy. It was, however, during the life-time of the late much-respected Vis count that the family fortunes may he considered to hare been matured—the princely domain was still further augmented, the tenants brought to a state of prosperity, the family seat en larged to its present noble state, the matchless collection of pic tures increased by purchases of the most inestimable description. whilst, with the assistance and frequent residence at Shug borough of Nollekens, the eminent sculptor, the gallery of statues an.l busts was brought to its present unequalled position. It is rarely that, so many sta'ues of the ancient sculptors are found congregated ; and, we believe, that no gallery in this country possesses so many splendid specimens of the Greek and Roman sculptors. `1 his portion of the auction occupies an entire day ; whilst another is devoted to the collection of pictures, which includes tho rarest treasures of the Italian arid Dutch and Flemish schools. There are two grand gallery pictures, by Guido, which are matchless as works of the highest class, two splendid landscapes by Poussin, a Claude of unquestionable authority, a Cuyp of a most bril liant power and interesting description, a landscape, the joint production of Both and Berham, which may rank as the finest specimens of these masters in this country; hut in no collec tion arc there known so many and such beautiful pictures by Vsndervelde, as gill be seen at Shugborough. One is of very large size, representing a calm, with shipping in the offing, which may be pronounced the chef d'cauvre of this inimitable master; and singular to relate, the companion picture, pour fraying a stiff breeze, of similar dimensions, is by Backberg sett, and a more splendid or remarkable pair rf pictures is not known. There is also a very extraordinary landscape, with sheep, by K. du Jardine, a master whose works are seldom to be procured ; with others of vast merit ler Dorninichino, Pa nini, Zuccarelli, Poelemburg, Testier', Rembrandt, and many more, whose works would adorn any collection. The Library of Books is very extensive, and occupies the first three days of the auction, including numberless works of vast interest and value. A complete series of County Histories, the works of J. B. l s iramsi, with an infinity of volumes most beautifully illustrated. A most extensive Cellar of Wines also offers its attractions, including nearly 1,000 dozens; and when the reputation of the present noble owner has enjoyed of pos sessing wines of a high character be remembered, we have no doubt the bon cleans or Staffordshire and the surrounding counties will make a point of attending the auction in the two days devoted to this portion of the sale. The Champagnes and Clarets in St. James's-square were highly thought of ; and we hear some of the same vintages will be found at Shugborough, with the addition of several bins of the well-known Cabinet wine, which was imported expressly for the members of the Me!bourne Ministry, of which report speaks in the highest terms, and however the public may differ with them upon other topics, we, have no doubt upon this all-important one, a simi larity of opinion will prevail. The other days of the auction will be occupied by the dispo sal of the furniture in the grand reception rooms, the state bed chamber, and dressing-rooms, and an endless number of best and secondary bedchambers ; the great dining-room, library, and sitting-rooms ; and when we hear, during the hospitable days of the present Noble Earl, a host of visitors have been en tained at Shugborough Hall, we leave our readers to imagine the extent of property which will have to he disposed of. The catalogue, as published by Mr. George Robins, is a most volumin o u s affair—the auc ti on occu p y i ng fourteen days. In these railroad times a trip to Shugborough and back may almost be accomplished during the long days of July, except that the treasures there to be seen will induce the visitor te tarry be yond the proper limit for his return. —if rptes. THE WEATHER. AND THE CROPS. Almost all the provincial journals afford the cheering intel ligence that the recent seasonable rains have been pretty ge neral throughout the country ; and accounts from all quarters agree in the anticipation of an early and generally abundant harvest. From a gentleman who has recently been through a consi derakie part of Sussex we learn that the wheat crops look well, and in some places they are luxuriant. The straw is unusually high, the ears large, and the grain good.—Brighton Herald. he crops in our immediate neighbourhood are looking re maikably well ; the fructifying showers and genial weather with which we have been favoured in this part of the country have put the corn into such a state as to induce the hope of a bountiful harvest being realised.— Hants Independent. The crops in the neighbourhood of Chesterfield promise a luxuriant harvest. We understand that there has scarcely I, ever been known such an abundant wheat crop. The hay crop is generally in course of cutting in the district, and appears to be an average. All through the county ti►e crops generally look and promise well.— Derbyshire Chronicle. A marked improvement in appearance is observable in crops of all kinds ; and nothing has as yet occurred to alter the opinion generally believed in, that we shall have a good, pro probably an abundant harvest.— Cortisie Journal. The late rains have been exceedingly beneficial to the crops generally, especially those of wheat and turnips. A little of the former has been beaten down in places, but not, we believe, to nny injurious extent. The hay harvest has been a good deal interrupted, but full compensation will be afforded by a luxu riant crop of lattermath.— Gloucester Journal. Never was there a season for more congratulation in the prospect of an early and very abundant harvest than the pre sent. The weather is all the farmer can wish. After a long period of heat the land has been refreshed with some delightful showers, which have penetrated into the earth. The appear ance of the country is most delightful. All round the town, wheat and barley is in the ear. The hay harvest may now be said for the most. part to be finished ; although the crops arc comparatively light, yet the hay was never got up in better condition than it has been this season. The early potatoes are fast approaching maturity ; in a few weeks there will be ;in abundant supply.— erts Paper. The country looks delightful under the influence of the general temperature of the weather which continues to prevail. Herbs, flowers, and fruits, have put forth every beauty, and are redolent of fragrance. The pasture land and potatoe crops have derived incalculable benefit from the late rains, as has also the oat crops, while the continuance and character of the moisture has not bean such as to produce any injurious effects upon the wheat lands. We look forward to an early and abundant harvest. The whole country has a delightful appearance.— Waterford Chronick. Our correspondents—east, west, north, and south—write on this subject nearly in the same words. Take this as a specimen: —" The country looks most charming. Potatoes and wheat never promised more, and but rarely such abundant crops. The hay, though light, is good, and in ',laces has been well saved. A few dry days will enable the haymakers to complete their part of harvest, and the farmers arc everywhere looking forwar.l to its completion with the most cheering prospects and thankful ness.—Dublin Evening Packet. THE FRENCH HARVEST.—The Courrier du Hoot Rhin says—" The harvest will Lc a very tine one, and consequently the fall in our markets continues. The car is full, and pro mises to produce abundance of flower. The straw will be short, but this forage' is still at a low price. On the other hand, the trefoils and other seeds are rcry scanty. fhe vines have suffered severely from the heat and drought. The blossom of the vine has been attacked by the parale to such an extent. that the whole of the vine-growers from Ribeanville to Guebwiller will lose all hope of a gathering, unless they have some rain very shortly. In the Bas Rhin, on the contrary, the vines, which are almost always a fortnight behind ours, are in a very flourishing state. Even there, however, the want of rain is severely felt." EXPERIMENTS AT DEAL.—During the time the experiments w ith large guns at long ranges were being carried on, last week, one of Mr. Monk's guns, a s(i pounder weighing 97 cwt., burst into four pieces when the fifth round was tired, and injured, but only in a very slight degree, tire persons, a corporal and two gunners and (hirers of the Royal Artillery, and two ;nen belonging to the preventive service, who were present as spectators. Corporal Campbell received the greatest injury, having been cut in the forehead above the eye', and at first presented an alarming appearance, but fortunately on exa mination it proved to be of a very trifling nature. At the time the gun burst, it was calculated there could not have been less than 700 persons present to witness the tiring, and it was most providential that a great destruction of human life did not occur in consequence of the accident.. No blame whatever could he attached to the gun or the pinciple on which it was constructed,. as it stood the original Foot test in the most satis factory manner, and had been fired about 150 times since. So far as the experiments have been made they have proved satis factory, but the bursting of this gun has shown that, to be made with safety, long ranges can only be obtained by a species of ordnance constructed for that purpose with a great solidity of metal at the breech. • THE ASSEMBLY FAST.-At the meeting of the United Associate Presbytery of Edinburgh, held on Tuesday, the sth current, a letter was read from the Rev. Mr. Smart, Moderator of the United Associate Synod, enclosing copy of a communication from the Rev. Dr. Welsh, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, requesting the ce-operation of the Associate Synod in observing the Vast to he held next week. After discussing the subject at considerable length, the Presbytery came to the unanimous resolution, that as the chief reason assigned by the General Assembly as a ground for fasting—via., the sins and difficulties of the Estab lished Church—is one in which Dissenters cannot sympathise, the Presbytery decline the proposed co-operation. All the other Dissenting bodies in the country have, so far as we have seen, come to a similar resolution.— Scotch Paper. EXTRAORDINARY R AILWAY TRAIN.— 2 011 Thursday the six o'clock train, A.M., from Paddington to Taunton, car ried the immense and unprecedented number of 2,115 pas sengers !—the great attraction being the agricultwal meeting of Bristol.—Berkshire Chronicle. WOOLWICH, JfILY 17.—Divine service was per• formed to-day, for the first time, in her Majesty's Dockyard. Woolwich, by the Rev. James Campbell Connolly, Chaplain of the William and Mary yacht, and was attended by the officers of the various vessels in her Majesty's service at present in the harbour here, by almost all the head officers of the dockyard, and persons connected with that extensive ,e-tablishment, and the crews of the vessels on the Woolwich station, and the whole of the officers and men of the Royal Marines off duty. The number of persons present was upwards of 7CO, and there ap peared to be ample accommodation in the large and spacious room of the new engine store-house, temporarily fitted up for the occasion, for :300 more. A selected portion of the band of Royal Marines, with wind instruments, and the others with their vocal powers conducted and led the congregation in the part of the service where sacred music is introduced, and had a powerful yet melodious effect. The Rev. Mr. Conolly selected Mark viii. 36 and 37 verses .6 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul ?" from which he made an excellent and appropriate seroon. ttiukE.---LOne of the largest seizures of tobacco made at - this port occurred yesterday, when upwards of four tons was discovered by the officers, concealed in cases of Confectionary ham Guernsey.

In addition to the details which we have already given of the deeply deplored accident which has deprived France of the heir to her throne, and the Royal Family of its most distinguished member, we have gathered the following :—The Prince Royal left the Tuileries in the carriage we have described. Every part of the carriage was in perfect. order, having been carefully examined in the morning, a duty uniformly performed pre viously to any of the Royal carriages being used by the family. The horses were not frightened by anything, nor did they sud denly rim away. The accident aro'e in the following marmot. : The Doke of Orleans, in returning from Paris, was accos • turned to take the avenue leading from Porte Maillot to his re sidence of Villiers, and from thence obtaioed entrance to the Park of Neuilly, by the gate which is opposite to this avenue. But on Wednesday his Royal Highness wished to go by the road which crosses Sablonville obliquely to the old Nenilly road, and then enter the Park by the grand gate. Having been driven very fa.t, the horses on reaching the Porte Maillot became excited, and, in spite of the exertions of the postilion, took the road to which they were habituated, instead of the diagonal road the Prince intended to go. Finding themselves approaching their stables, the ammalsbecame still mere eager, and the horse the boy rode kicked out several times and struck ' the cross-bar, which, from the nature of the carriage, earns , ra 'her close to his haunches. Then it was that the Duke stood up, and fancying that the postilion had lost all command of his horses, called to him. The boy replied that he still held them, and, in fact, the hand-horse was perfectly temperate, the lad firm in his seat, and nulling at the bridle. Not suc ceeding in getting them into a trot, the Prince, who was ex tremely expert in gymnastic exercises, attempted to do what he had frequently practised before while his carriage was moving, but probably not with the same velocity. He put one foot on the step, and then sprang to the ground. The fatal conse quences are too well known. They are sadly aggravated by the (act, that had his Royal Highness forborne but a few mi nutes longer he would have been spared to his family and country. It is presumed that the Prince saw, that if the horses continued unmanageable, the carriage must be overturned with considerable violence over seine heaps of stones which were laid on the side of the road for the purpose of repairing it. Although still overwhelmed in the deepest grief, the Royal Family are, as we learn direct from Neuilly, as well as can be expected, but the Queen does not receive any one. A Council of Ministers was held yesterday, at which Mar sisal Sixth presided. It lasted from half-past twelve to two o'clock. \V hen it. broke up the Ministers set out for Neuilly. There a fresh Council was held. at which the King presided. " His Majesty," says the Moiiitcur Parisicn, in announcing the holding of this Council, " lost nothing of the admirable firmness which he exhibited at the moment of the late dreadful catastrophe. ' blow is terrible,' was the remark of the King, ' but it ought not to shake our confidence in the future. We shall surmount every difficulty.' The Queen is not less heroic in her resignation." The funeral of his Royal Highness the Duke of Orleans will take place at the commencement of August. The Prince will he buried at Dreux, but the funeral ceremony will take place at Notre Dame. Yesterday morning, at seven o'clock, Drs. Pasquier, father and son, were to proceed to Neuilly, to embalm the body. The King has authorised them to join in their sad task whatever medical men they pleased. The Royal Family went yesterday into :mourning for four months. The Monileur Parisien says, " The Queen observed on Wednesday to the persons who thronged around her, I was too happy and too proud of hint ; God has thought fit to take him from me.'" Their Royal Highnesses the Count de Paris and the Duke de Chartres arrived yesterday evening at Paris from Eu. All the Peers in Paris have hastened to Neuilly to inscribe their names as coming to make inquiries of condolence after the King and Royal Family. Even some who were at consi derable distances have travelled up expressly to perform this sail duty. The following order of the day to the army has been pub lished : " The King and France are plunged into grief. His Royal Highness the Duke of Orleans expired yesterday. in conse quence of a fall from his carriage. The army will share this grief. It will deplore the loss of ihe Prince, the hope of his country, as he was the hope of the army, the more bitterly, in asmuch as he took part in the fatigues and dangers of the soldiery, whom he loved, and to whom he manifested frequent marks of his solicitude, as well as an example of all military virtues ; of excellence in command, and the most striking bravery. Mourning will be immediately worn by the army, until further orders. Crape will be placed on the colours and stardards ; the drums will be covered with black serge; crape and mufflers will be affixed to the trumpets ; officers will wear crape on their swords. The cruel event which Fiance so much deplores will excite the devotedness of the army, and will tighten the bonds which unite it to the King And his august family. (Signed) "MARSHAL DUKE OF DALMATIA, "President of the Council and Minister of 'War." " Paris, July 14." The following order of the day, bearing the same date, has been issued to the National Guard of the Seine The National Guard of the Seine is aware of the immense less which France and the King have sustained. It will be anxious to take part in the profound grief with which so disas trous a blow must inspire all good citizens. The General in Command, therefore, issues the following orders :—From this day until further orders, the National Guard will wear mourn ing ; the officers will wear crape on the arm and sword-handle; the colours will be veiled with black, and the drums will bear a crape. (Signed) " Count GERARD. (By order) " JACQUENOT, Lieut.-Gen of the Staff." Immediately after the meeting of the Chambers a Bill pro viding for a Regency will be presented to the Legislature. It is also rumoured that, after the new Chamber has voted its Address, the Legislature will occupy itself with the project of a law having for its object the Regency being intrusted to his Royal Highness the Duke de Nemours, and fixing the age of 18 as the majority of the young Monarch, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Orleans retaining the education and gua:dian ship of her children. The Archbishop of Paris went yesterday to Neuilly, as he did on Wednesday. The Bishop of Versailles, the newly rppointed Archbishop of Avignon, and the nearly-appointed Bishop of Tulle, went there yesterday. It is the Chaiter of St. Denis who officiate in the chapel of Neuilly. 'I hey are assisted by the clergy of St. Germain-l'Auxerruis and St. Roch, there being always on duty four canons and three priests of each of the two parishes. The sacred ser vice is thus organised:—During the whole morning, until one o'clock, masses are celebrated. At that hour vespers com mence, and are continued until night. After midnight, ma tins are chaunted. The whole of the Royal Family, and the inmates of the chateau, attended mass yesterday. The King returned several times during the day to the chapel. Each time, after having knelt down and prayed, he drew aside the drapery which covers the body of his son, and after having contemplated him with a touching resignation, sprinkled the body with holy water. The Prince still lies on the sort of couch on which the body was placed when it was brought from the house where he expired Black draperies have been placed around him. Yesterday morning his Majesty gave orders that, an apartment should be prepared at the chateau at Neuilly for her Royal Highness the Duchess of Orleans and the Princes her sons. At nie.n the Duke d'Aumale again went to the re sidence of the Duke of Orleans, at the Tuileries, where he su perintended the arrangement of the paper's of his deceased bro ther, and the putting on of the seals. During the day their Majesties received a telegraphic communication from the Duke de Nemours, who had received by telegraph at Nancy the ac count of the melancholy blow which had fallen on the Royal F. mils. The Prince announced that he should iMmediately set off for Plombieres, where it was calculated he could arrive before the first accounts could roach that place from Paris. It is feared that the Prince de Joinville will not receive for seve ral days the summons which has been sent to him by the King, for Admiral flue 6 on's squadron was to leave the Bay of Naples yesterday for Smyrna. Yesterday evening, and during the whole of the day, a continued file of carriages covered the road to Neuilly. The number of visitors at the chateau was im mense. Their Majesties received no person, but the names were entered in a book at the door of the palace. Masses were celebrated yesterday in all the churches of Paris for the repose of the soul of the Duke of Orleans. The Queen was for three hours on her knees by the side of the mattress on which her dying son lay extended_ At her first arrival she took a small medal from her bosom, where it had rested ever since the day she received her first communion, and placed it on the heart of her beloved child. " The Duke of Orleans," says the Univers, " appears to have had a presentiment of an early death ; fur he said, two days before the late disaster, to the Princess Oementine, who was speaking to him of the glorious chances of his future life, ' I shall die young, sister ; I shall die shortly.' " The COllN ' titutionnel says:— " The King's grief, although it may have appeared on Wednesday to have been less violent than that of the Queen, was not the less profound. He had sufficient firmness of mind to suppress his paternal feelings during the heart-rending scene, in order that he might be aisle to support the courage and resignation of his family. But afterwards, when he was thrown back upon himself, he because a prey to the more bitter affliction from a blow which brought back all the recollections of the severe trials he hail to undergo in his youth. The deaths of his two brothers, the Count de Beaujolais and the Duke de Montpensier, to whom he was attached with the closest friendship, the warmest affection, left for a long time the deepest traces of affliction in his heart. Both these princes fell nearly at the same time in theiro•outh, under the same insidious disease, pulmonary phthisis. After suffering a long and frightful imprisonment, they had rejoined their elder brother, and strengthened their union in the school of exile and misfortune, when it was severed by the death of one of them near London, and of the other on the rock of Malta. in May, 18(17. At a later period the premature death of his amiable awl accomplished daughter, the Princess Mary, again • put the King's resignation to another severe trial. He could not believe it possible for him to sustain a greater loss, so ele vated were the virtues, so high the talents of the chid then torn from his affections. Ile has, ho sever, been destined to bear a still more poignant agony. His measure of grief has now been filled to overflowing by the sudden and terrible ac cident which has just bereft him of a son destined to succeed • him on the throne, and whom he had himself initiated into all the intricacies and difficulties which surround France. To en dure this last domestic visitation, mixed up as it is with so many serious political considerations, requires a fortitude of soul very rarely indeed to he found in man. Let us hope that his Ma jesty's character, tempered by so many adversities, will enable !din still to be resigned to the decree of fate. Let us hope that Heaven, in consolation for pain so acute. may grant him the satisfaction of living long enough to see his grandson arrive at an age when the crown may devolve upon him without appre hension of the kingdom being disturbed by any violent com motion." (From Galignanrs Messenger of Saturday.) ANNOUNCENIEN I' OF THE 31ELANCHOLY EVENT TO THE DUKE OF NEMOURS. A telegraphic despatch, per Metz, had made the sad loss known to M. Arnault, prefect of the Meurthe, who immediately communicated it to General Villatte. The General under took to convey the intelligence to the Prince ; but on coming to perform his painful task was so pale and agitated that his Royal Highness conceived him to be taken saldenlv ill, and kindly inquired what was the smatter with him. " Oh, Sir !" replied General Villatte, " terrible news has arrived from Paris !" " I understand you," exclaimed the Prince ; "the King is killed." " No, Sir; but the Prince 'loyal, is no more. He d.ed yesterday at Paris, in consequence of a fall from his carriage." This painful scene passed at seven in the morning, in the presence of numerous officers collected for an inspection of the quarters of the Ist Regiment of Hussars, which was under the command of the Prince Royal in 1637, and filled every one with grief ; the regiment more deeply than other s , secause it had to deplore the loss of him who had been its yount , but intrepid C o l one l. A s soon as t h e D u ke de Nemours coulerouse himself from the first and oventrhelming effects of this bitter news, he gave orders for his departure. At Bligny he met 31. Hertin de Vaux, who was on his way to Piom bieres, and received from him the details of the disastrous catastrophe. The Dnke was attended by one of his orderly officers, M. Borel de Bretizel. ARRIVAL OF THE DUKE OF NEMOURS AT NEUILLY. u ß ri n er .a a i nn6uneed we th n e t a th co e approach of the Duke of Nemours, _ Family On Friday morning, at nine o'clock, nd Immediately after meeting, down into the vestibule to receive him.need theirnot attempt to describe the meeting. the Duke of Nemours accompanied the Queen, and the. rest of the Royal Family to mass. The body of the deceased Prince been removed for the purposes of the aut o p sy andem to Ro ainl y a ir T d b u t the catafalque remained ; the chapel was -.„S hung with black and surround s d by tapers, and the priests in '- 1 their mourning robes were standing at the altar, ready to vim mence their prayers for the dead. This solemn and mournful aspect was the first view the Duke de Nemours beheld on his re-entering that palace which, only a few days before, hetleft e ve with confidence and happiness. At ten o'clock the Royal"l it. mily went to receive the Count de Paris aed the pukezde Chartres, who arrived attended by the Marchioness de 'ins. The voting, Princes are both in good health, and were carried by the King to the apartments prepared for them. They were unaware of the irreparable logs they had sustained, but even at their early age they could not but be affected at the deep traces of grief depict e d i n th e countenancs:, of their Royal r e l a ti ons , and, indeed, of every one around them. At one o'clock the Duke d'Aurnale returned to Courbevoie, being called away by the duties of hi. regiment. At two the King held at Neuilly a Council of Ministers, o high sat till half-past four. Their Ma jesties did not receive any one, but the palace was crowded by persons of all ranks, arriving to inscribe their names as making inquiries. The Queen of the Belgians is expected on Sunday. Up to ten o'clock last night no news had been received front tint Duchess de Nemours and the Princess Clementine, who were on their way to Plombieres, where it is expected they would arrive at five o'clock yesterday morning. ARRIVAL OF HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUCHESS OF ORLEANS AT NEMLLY. Highnessl mnting. the Duehessot Orleans arrived at Neuilly on 11;r The first interview between the be reaved widow and the illustrious mourners at the chauteau was, as may be imagined, of the most harrowing description. Could it be otherwise u n d er th e l oss of such a sband, such a sen? Her Royol Highness drove rapidly to Neuilly without entering ravis. The blinds of her carriage were entirely closed. AUTOPSY AND EMBALMENT OF THE BODY. Dr. Pasquier, first surgeon of the Prince Royal, assisted by M. Pasyner, his father, who is first surgeon to the King, and Messrs. Fougaier, Auvity, Moreau, Blandin, Blache, Des touches, Sallee, and Seguin, the eminent physicians and surgeons, proceeded on Friday, in the presence of General Baron Athalin. the King's aide-de-camp, specially del:- gated by his Iklaj sty to per.orm the autopsy of the body of the Duke of Orleans. It commenced at seven in the morn ing, and lasted till eleven. The results were :----First, that the death of the Prince was caused by a fracture of the poSterior part of the skull extending font one ear to the other, mid ascending to the frontal bone, which was almost entirely severed from the head. Secondly, that all the other organs of his Royal Highness were perfectly sound, and in such a mate of preservation as to admit of a belief that the Prince, whose constitution was excellent, and whose mode of living was admirably regular, would have lived to a great age. Another result from the autopsy is a conviction, in the minds of the faculty, that the head of the Prince had sustained all the force of the fall, as no other part of his Royal Hignness's person was seriously injured, and hence they infer that he (lid net jump out of his carriage, but was thrown out suddenly by some violent shock while he was standing up. A pierces veibal of this delicate operation will of course be drawn up in dune form, and will probably be made public. When the autopsy was completed the process of embalment was performed by the same medical commission. This occupied fire honre more, being perfected by half-past five in the afternoon. At that hour Baron Athalin called in all the household officers of the King and Princes then at Neuilly, to be present at and verity the depositirg of the remains of the defunct in the coffin pre pared to receive them. In their presence the body was wrappedin a waxed cloth, and laid in a leaden coffin, which was lined with white satin, the head being raised on a pillow covered with the same material. Over the body was placed the Prince Royal's uniform of a general officer, with his epaulettes, his riband, and other insignia of the order of the Legion of Ho nour, his sword, and his African lepy. This done, the in terstices were filled up with wadding. The proves verbal was then signed by the persons present, rolled up, put into a bottle hermetically sealed, and placed in the collie, which was imme diately after soldered up, and enclosed in an oak case covered with black velvet, and ornamented with silvernails, escutcheons, and hamPes. The heart of the Prince was in like manner enclosed in an urn of lead, cased with oak, covered with black velvet. The clergy were then admitted, and they sprinkled the august remains with holy water. This being done, the coffin and urn were carried back into the chapel, am! replaced en the cenotaph. The funeral chants were immediately re commenced, and will be continued until the final interment in the vaults at Dreux. When the embalment was completed, the Queen called in Dr. Pasquier, Jun., and received from him the account of the real cause of the death of the Prince. The Archbishop of Paris has issued a pastoral letter to all his clergy, directing masses to be performed in every church of his province for the repose of the soul of the departed. Royal I)uke. The same solemnity has been, or will be, or dained throughout all the dioceses of the kingdom. The Royal Chapter of St. Denis has sent a deputation to the King and Queen, expressing its participation in the general grief on the premature death of the heir-apparent to the Crown. A solemn service has been celebrated on this la mentable event in the church of St. Denis. On Thursday evening, M. Pradier was admitted into the chapel, and took casts of the face, hands, and feet of the illus trious corpse. M. De Calheux, director of the Royal Museums, superintended this operation. The features of his Royal High ness were not at all altered by death. They st ill expressed his natural benign serenity. The work was entirely successfnl, and there is no doubt that M. Pradier will produce a perfect resemblance of the lamented Prince, of whom there is only one truly faithful portrait, that recently finished by M. Ing,res, which is deemed one of the master-pieces of that great artist. Queen Christina, in the evening of Thursday, came from Malmaison to condole with the Royal Family. ller Majesty, with delicate consideration, would not enter the court-yard in her carriage, but alighted at the gates, and walked from them to the palace in evident emotion. She was immediately re ceived by the King and Queen. The Globe has the following :—" The Queen is said to have related that the Prince Royal came on Tuesday evening to Neuilly to take leave of the King and his family, and, as he was departing, she asked him if she should not see him again the next day, before he set out on his journey, to which he replied, Perhaps.' Was this a presentiment ?" .~ t ~ ~~~` EGYPT. ALEXANDRIA, JuNr. 26.—Couriers have been despatched to all the provinces, ordering the new wheat to be brought down without delay, but there is so little water in the canal that for another moulh we cannot expect any arrivals of importance. The l'acha is natu: ally anxious to avail himself of the report( d demand for England to obtain high prices, and endeavours to induce offers now, While he reserves his decision until the wheat shall have arrived here. He is about to dispatch a frigate he has in the Red Sea (built some time since in Bombay) Isla] a cargo of wheat Iv the Mauritius, under the superintend ence of an English merchant here, who sails with the vessel, entrusted with the charge of opening markets in the Eattern soas for Egyptian produce. During the past week a case of ridiculous exaction and com promise, unaided also by the British Consulate has occurred. The wife of a Maltese resident last week died of plague— her son • was clerk in the counting-house of an English merchant, at which, by the by, he had not attended since the nature of his mother's illness was known— and her house consequently shut up by the Board of Health, who nevertheless insisted upon the young man's employer per forming quarantine ; his courting-house was forcibly shut up for two days, but fortunately being at some distance from hie residence, he retained his liberty, and was eventually able to get possession of his counting-house, by allowing the Board of Health to perform the farce of depurgating it with chloride of lime. Englishmen here generally suppose themselves, owing to their exemption from Egyptian laws, to he subject only to that of England, which has until lately been administered by the Consul in cases of complaint against British subjects by a modification of the form of trial by jury, the Consul calling the assistance of two or f o ur assessors, and the ac cusedbeing confronted with his accuser, and allowed the privilege of cross-examining the witnesses against him ; but by a newly-adopted system these formalities are dis pensed with, arid in several instances before the public the proceedings have: been the following:—The written com plaint of the accuser is forwarded to the accused, and he is called upon to reply in writing. In the meantime the written deposition upon oath of the accuser, and any witnesses he may have arc taken by the Consulate, unknown to the accused, arid so far from affording him the opportunity of cross-examination, the depositions against him are withheld from him. Upon these documents, viz., the accusation and reply, and the is rit• ten depositions, th e Consulate, on their Own responsibility, give and enforce a sentence. If a Frenchman misconduct; himself, he has, at all events, the satisfaction of knowing that his Consulate hold a code according to which they must assign a punishment, if the offence be proved, and it is to he rTretted that some such cede is not given to the British Consulate, who have the great advantage over a Justice of the Peace in England, that they are here amenable to no higher authority. An action at law w ill lie in England against a Justice of the Peace who ex ceeds the limits of his authority, but to proceed legally against a Levant Consul, the party aggrieved must wait till the Consul's return to England, and even then the expense of such a proceeding must preclude the hope of redress to many parties arbitrarily or unjustly condemned. It was only yesterday that a Maltese, against whom proceedings were in progress, and who was advised by his lawyer to protest against the ours] pro ceedings were taking, with a view to ulterior appeal, was ar rested by die Consul for presenting his protest, his watch and money taken from hint by the Consulate Janissary,'and his per son confined for !wady an hour, when, upon further eonsidera don, he was released ! A Magistrate in England has undoubt edly the power to arrest any person in the same clay, but he renders himself liable diet eby to an action for false impoison meta. I reserve for a future letter a note I have taken of se veral very discrepant sentences given by the Consulate latterly, which have excited much attention in our little society. No tidings yet of the India. • THE COLLIERS' STRIKE. BIRMINGHAM, SATURDAY EVENING.—The colliers having again assembled in large bodies yesterday evening, the military were ordered to patrol the district, marching through New castle, Stoke, Lane End, and other places ; and the Magis trates issued notices, which„were extensively distribUted, salting upon the colliers to refrain from assembling in bodies, or com pelling others to leave the pits, as in case of their continuing such practices it was the firm determination of the authorities to make use of the force placed at their disposal for suppressing any disturbance which might.be attempted. buring the early part of this morning bodies of Men began to assemble in the neighbourhood of Newcastle and Longton, lining the road tor a considerable distance. A large proportion of them consisted of idle and mischievous vagabonds, wh i had no concern with the turn-out, beyond the disposition to avail themselves of the differences between the masters arid work men, for the purpose of creating a disturbance. These fellows entered the shops at the outskirts of the town, and demanded, or rather helped themselves to bread, bacon. &c. ; and on the read several market people were stopped in their carts, and ransacked of provisions. A ease of this kind ooeurred near Lane End at 10 o'clock this morning.
