ARRIVAL of her MAJESTY DONNA MARIA Her 111aty P jes Oß TS/110 UTH, AUGUST 1. Donna Maria, accompanied by the Ex l'Anperor and Empress of Brazil, arrived at the George inn at half -past seven this evening. Orders having arrived to receive Donna Mtria with the honours due to a Queen, preparations were accordingly made; and on the appeal anee of the steamer with her Afajesty on board, salutes Werd fired from the ships at Spithead, and on the steamer passing them they manned yarelg, which compliment was ackno w l edged by the party on board the steamer. On landing they were received by Admiral Sir TOomas Foley and his lady, and the naval officers of the ships here, and also a salute of twenty-one guns from the g irrison. The guard that received the party on landing was a company of Royal Marine Artillery, and their beautiful bawl, which Played " G o d save t h e Ki ng " i n fine style. General Sir C oin Campbell also paid his respects to her Majesty, who teerned in excellent spirits. Having entered tl•e r al'a and General's carriages, they drove up the High street, the troops, consisting of the Royal Marine Artillery, and the 90th and 91st Regiments, who were on either si de of the street, presenting arms, and the bands playing our National Anthem. Her Majesty was received at the ( 't'ort'e inn, where preparations had been made by a guard and hand of the 90th Regiment. „The troop s h a ving formed in open columns, led by ''r Colin Campbell and Staff, marched by the George i nn in slow time, with bands playing and colours flying, baMajesty always gracefully returning the salutes from e officers on presenting arms, rather a tedious piece Court etiquette for any young lady. The troops then rnarehed home, and the principal families of distinction ar e now paying their respects to her Majesty. They will depart to morrow morning, at eleven o'clock ; due re 'Peet will also be paid on their departure. Orders were positively received to treat her as Queen. LONDON UNIVERSITY. S ' N. O THE EDITOR OF THE SU ''llt—You will oblige me by publishing in your Journal t he following minute of the Council of the University of L•nnrion, received by me last night : " Session of Council, 23d of July, 1831.--The Council, ' 4 c oncurrence with the suggestion contained in the report of t he Select Committee of the Council of the 18th of Jane, 1831, That the popularity and efficiency of the medical school have received a shock by the disturbances which have prevailed in it, and which can only be ob ‘4ted by the retirement of Professor Pattison from the ' h airs of anatomy and surgery,' and deeming it therefore "'Natio' to the well-being of the University, and the sue e"3 of the medical school, that Professor Pattison should got any longer continue to occupy those chairs ; " Resolve d, That Professor Pattison be, and he is here '_lYr removed from his situations of Professor of Anatomy and Surgery in this University.

This being admitted, it is diffi,:ult to understand ?a what principle of justice a gentleman, who has been 14d aced on the representation of the Council to resign a pro fessorship in America, which was worth above 2,0001. Per annum, to engage in their service, can, by an arbitrary a", be deprived of an office to obtain which he made so great a sacrifice. I remain, Sir, your bumble servant, GRANVILLE S. PATTISON. 129, Regent-street, July 24. T 0 THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. justice to Mr. Prof ssor Pattison , whose re rernent from th e c hairs of Anatomy and Surgery in the London University, is, in my opinion, so arbitrarily re commended in the Report of the Select Committee, ap pointed by the Proprietors to inquire into the past and present state of the University, and read at their meeting Yesterday, I beg, as a Member of that Committee , to sutr a my reasons for decidedly disapproving of such recom mendation : I. In examining the documents it was my duty to do, p the offic e of the University, I found numerous highly rl?aourable testimonials in Professor Pattison's favour, Peen by the most eminent professional and literary men in Great Britain and America. to _ 2 . I found that, when a candidate for the chair of Ana- Ys he asked the Council not to rely on these t es ti r no_ nias Oy, ut "shuld the consider any probationary e4 e l rci nl se or b trial ne o cessary y to test the qualifications of the candidates, he was most willing to undergo it." The Council however did not consider it necessary, and appointed him to the chair; and this preference, I fear, Wu never forgiven! 3 . I found the Council did not permit him, as is gene rally, if not invariably, the practice, to nominate his own hemonstrator or Assistant, and out of this false step arose, as it was easy to foretell, rivalry, contentions, and all the subsequent excitements and disturbances. 4. I found, soon after this, that discontent and disre spect to their Professor began to be evinced by a small number of the anatoirical pupils, which gradually ex tended itself, from the irresolute, vacillating, and foolish manner in which the Council dealt with so inadmissable an let as that of students questioning the competency of their teacher ! 5 . I found next that meetings of the medical students Were held in the Dissecting (Demonstrator's) room, and elsewhere, and committees appointed, with a secretary, to concert measures of annoyance and injury to Professor Dattison, and to heard and abuse and ridicule the Council!! Yet no vigorous means were adopted to punish or pre vent this. 68.ity.....1f0u,,nd it observed in a letter recently transmitted to th e C ouncil from a late Medical Professor of the Uni ,el. That the conviction on his mind will always be, that Professor Pattison has been the victim of a most pucked conspiracy, and that if he had been allowed to oe his d u ti es ' unmolested, he would have been one of t he most pop u l ar an d one o f th e most useful teachers of 1;"ny in Europe." Another istinguished literary rofessor also addresses the Council in these words,— entertaining the opinions which I do of Mr. Pattison's lital ifications, I would deplore his removal from the Uni versity, as an event which would he more injurious to it than t he 105 5 of al mos t any o th er P ro f es sor, cet tainly more so than he los s o f any other of his medical colleagues. I t i s great l y t b e lamented, (he remarks) that some of his medical col 'Rues did not devote their time and attention to the int- Peevement of those qualities in which Mr. Pattison is so e:nepieuously unworthy suerior, instead of engaging in the it /Melons . and task of accomplishing the . rltin their most respectable and gifted colleague, by giving et'utitenanee and encouragement, as I understand they did, t hose riots among the students which have disgraced the teltitution.” se 7 ' Ilikewise found it affirmed, in a very able memorial nt i n to the Council by Professors De Morgan, Lardner, s Key, Long, and Rosen, " That the disturb its -c ," Which h ave unhappily occurred in the Medical I\ l ' 44 'o cannot be attributed to any defect or misconduct of no Pattison. He is at least (they observe) as competent of tie he w as t h ree years ago , w h en th e p e ace and order «. w establishment eqablishment were undisturbed." (And add)— that thenca have no hesitation in declaring our conviction etn. cause of the rise of insubordination and riot , ur g a cert a i n port i on o f t h e me di ca l s t u d en t s , is to be isi chiefly in the want of an efficient system of acade cel discipline in the University." b After seeing all this, and much more, which it would tt ' i n :w too long to detail, I could not honestly and con hute tously say that Professor Pattison merited any blame, p ktrti " the contrary, great consideration ; and the more eoti ocularly, as we found in the minute-book of the ti gt :" that a committee appointed by them had inves "l the charges against him, and found them ground -48 d id, the re f ore, protest aga i ns t th e reso l u ti on o f th e to r e p et Committee (of which 1 was a dissenting member), be en "amend Prof essor P a ttison's retirement, until he had , 54 thrairly hea r d i n hi s own v i n di c . i ti on , w hi c h w as re f use d b or greunds that the Committee were neither competent th e u id tim e to d ec id e t h e ques ti on o f mer it s , whil s t a t rsh,: l i Te inst ant t h ey awar d t h e severest pun i s h men t (dir. be e ,:" ) the University could inflict on a Professor who laid Pr "ed guilty of the deepest moral delinquency ! ! ! !

Last night a new drama, in three act., called El Bel videre, was brought out at this theatre, and with good success. The dramatis persome are few in number. The plot is pretty clear and intelligible, and the attention of the audience of consequence little divided or perplexed. The substance of the story is as follows :—A young noble man, the son of a Sicilian Count or Marquis, who bad been banished for some state offence, finds himself on arriving at manhood without name or fortune. The in justice practised on his father, and his own necessities, de termines him to turn pirate. Ile is elected Captain of a crew, and in a short time his assumed name is heard with terror throughout Sicily. In one of his excursions he chances to meet the (laughter of the Duke, is enamoured of her beauty, feigns the name of a Sicilian Count, aban dons his piratical pursuits, and finally succeeds in saving the life of the lady's father in an attack upon the pirates, and in obtaining the fair one's hand. There are some good situations in the piece, and the scenery was very pretty. The underplot, according to the good old rule, consisted of the loves of the lady's woman and the gentle man's min, and the rival claims of an old Chamberlain, the latter character exceedingly well performed by Wm- LlA:sts. OSBALDISTON as the Pirate Chief' was very effective, and generally the piece was well performed. The drama was announced for repetition amidst unanimous applause. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

Here a husband who loves his wife is a man who has not sufficient merit to make himself beloved by any other. It is not that there are no virtuous ladies ; and it may be said that they are distinguished but they are so ugly, that one must be a saint not to hate their virtue."—Dr. Lard ncr's Cabinet Library, Vol. VII. HYPERBOLE.—As we advance towards the South, we invariably find an increase of exaggeration in the figurative language of ordinary conversation. An Englishman to signify that he is extremely wet, says that he is " wet to the skin." A Frenchman goes further, and asserts that he is " jusqu'aux os" (wet to the bones); the Spaniard beats them both hollow and announces that he finds himself, " 311ojado haita los tue lanos," (wet to the very marrow.) If an Irishman was to complain, it would be that he was not wet enough ! CLEMENTI AMD MOZART AT VIENNA. In Vienna he became acquainted withllAl-nx INlozaaT, SALIERI, and many other celebrat e d mu sicians then res ident in that city, and played alter nately with Mozar.T, before the Emperor JOSEPIS 11. and the Grand Duke (afterwards Em p eror) PAUL of Russia and his consort. On one occasion, when the Imperial trio alone were present, CLEMENTI and MOZART were desired to play ; some question of eti quette arising as to who should make the first di sp l ay of his powers, the E MPER OR decidedit by motioning CLE_ MENTS to the instrument, saying at the same tim e , i n al lusion to his Roinan bir th, " tocca all' eglese di dar l'es sempio." CLEmyrrt having preluded for some time, played a sonata, followed by MOZART, who, without any further exordium than striking the chord of the key, also performed a sonata. The Grand Duchess then said that one of her masters had written seine pieces for her which were beyond her powers, but she should very much like to hear their effect ; and producing two, CLEMENTI im mediately played one, and MOZA RT the other, at sight. She next proposed a theme, on which, at her request, these two great masters extemporised alternately, to the astonishment as well as delight of their imperial audience. —Hanrionicon for Aug. 1. OPEN ING OF THE NEW LONDON BRIDGE " Behold The Iloyal Captain Praise and glory on his head ! For forth he goes, and visits all his host ; Bids them good morrow with a modest smile, And calls them—Brothers, friends, and countrymen." SIIAKSPEA it,, This grand ceremony, the preparations for which have occupied so much attention in the metropolis for some time past, took place yesterday, and presented the most splendid spectacle that has been witnessed en the Thames for manv years. The grand attraction of the scene was of course the presence of their Majesties, who graciously condescended to take that opportunity of honouring their most dutiful and loyal subjects, the citizens of London, with a visit. We gave in our Paper of yesterday a detailed account of the preparations made on the Thames, and at both sides, from Waterloo to London-bridge, to receive the Royal visiters with every becoming mark of respect. It will, therefore, be unnecessary to state more here, than that those preparations were carried into effect with a precision and regularity which reflect the highest credit not only on the judicious foresight and good taste of those by whom the arrangements were planned, but also on the discipline and good order of the several parties on whom their execution devolved. We stated yesterday that many of the boats and barges which were to form the double line from Somerset stairs to London-bridge, and through which the Royal procession was to pass, had taken up their appointed stations on Saturday. The remainder took up their posi tion at an early hour yesterday morning, and such was the eagerness of the owners of bares and pleasure-boats of every description to testify their respect to their Ma jesties, that so tar from booms being necessary from boat to boat to keep up the lines, there were boats enough to keep up both lines in unbroken succession (and in some places two and three deep) the whole way. Many of these, particularly those in the lines opposite Somerset house, were decorated with all the national flags of Eu rope, presenting in this as well as in the gay attire of the respectable parties of ladies and gentlemen seated on plat forms on their decks, one of the most brilliant and im• posing spectacles that ever rested on the bosom of old Father Thames. The appearance of the bridges contri buted greatly to heighten the interest of the scene. The balustrades of Waterloo were crowded at an early hour, many persons having taken up their stations there as early as between five and six o'clock in the morning. Most of these showed that if the weather permitted they were de termined " to make a day of it," for they brought with them not only prog for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but also materials for their evening repast, and before the close of the day we saw not a few who were quietly enjoying their tea in the line of wagons with awnings which were drawn up in lin . Oarlong;side_Of Mit pathway of the bridge. Some of these waggems 'were' fitted up with se j w, tb.e. speculations of the owners, and . froni - thepticbstleabided, and readily given, we should judge that thiesy turned good account. Others were stationed there by lirtva parties for the accommodation of their friends, and consi dering their temporary character, were very conveniently fitted up. The police arrangements on this byidgc, s aiiii, the superintendance, of, Mit, : DitAli.pg and;'sNjr.lTJA were very judiciously managed;and we have no doubt that but for the vigilant attention of the force under their orde:g nfiny accidents..would have happened, from tile number of fersoo CtitectAvnxious to station themselves on the balustrades. This was very properly prevented to an extent sufficient to guard against any risk from over crowding. 'flue appearance of the front of. Somerset house added greatly to the effect of the whole spectacle. On the whole length of the Terrace several tiers of seats w. re erected, which were occupied even at an early hour with a most respectable company, chiefly ladies. The windows behind, and the tops of the building in every place which could command a view, were also thronged with spectators. The balustrades of Blackfriars-bridge were also crowded with well-dressed company ; but from its being so great a thoroughfare (the new and old Loudon bridges being shut from passengers), the spectators were not so numerous here as on the other bridges. On Southwark -bridge tents were erected for the accommo dation of visiters, and proved, we understand, no very unprofitable speculation to their proprietors. The ap pearance of the river, outside the line of barges through which the procession was to pass, and also of both shores, was quite in keeping with what we have described. Every barge and lighter at each side was put in requisition. Platforms and seats were erected on most of them Many had awnings, and not a few tastefully decorated with the flags of various nations. It is unnecessary to add that they were all thronged with spectators. On the shores, north and south, the same curiosity was evinced to witness the passing pageant, and means were taken to satisfy it. The banks, wharfs, and timber-yards, where they could com mand a view, were thronged. Storehouses, warehouses, factories, and private dwellings, teemed with human beings to the very roofs. Amongst the places most conspicuous on this occasion we may mention the Temple Gardens, which were thronged by a very fashionable company from a very early hour. At Mr. Calvert's premises tiers of seats were erected to a very considerable extent for the accommodation of the friends of " the house," who, we understood, to the number of 1,000, were also sump tuously regaled on this occasion. _ _ . - The arrangements made at Somerset-house for the recep tion of their Majesties, partook of the same order and re gularty which distinguished those in the whole line to the Bridge. They were, we understood, under the superin tendence of Sir Byara Martin. The stairs leading from Somerset-house, as well as the platform, were covered with dark cloth, over which was laid red cloth in that pa r t by which their Majesties were to pass. At the end of the stairs were placed two splendid union jacks of rich silk, and of immense size, but they were not unfolded until a few moments before the arrival of the Royal party. It was arranged that the barges containing the several officers and members of the Boards of Admiralty, Customs, Excise, &c., should be brought up at an hour much earlier than that fixed for the arrival of the King and Queen. By this means the embarkation was made in the utmost order. The Royal family and their Majesties' suite assembled at the Palace about two o'clock, and at a quarter before three o'clock the Royal procession, consisting of twelve carriages, was formed in the gardens of the Palace. Th e King, who appeared in the Windsor uniform, entered th e last carriage, accompanied by the Queen, the Duchess of Cumberland, and the Duchess of Cambridge. I n the preceding carriages were the Duke and Prince George of Cumberland, attended by Baron Linsingen, the Rev. Mr. Jelf, and Lady Sophia Lennox (the Lady i n waiting on the Duchess of Cumberland), the Duke of Sussex, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Duchess and Prince William of Saxe-Weitnar, Prince George and Princess Augusta of Cambridge, attended by Baroness Ahlefeldt, the Lord Chamberlain, the Master of the Horse, the Ea;rl Marshal, the Groom of the Stole, the Lord Chamberlain to the Queen, Lord Hill as Gold Stick in waiting, th e Treasurer of the Household, the Secretary of the Privy Purse, the Clerk Marshal, the Marchioness Wellesley, th e Marchioness of Westmeath, and Lady Clinton, the Ladies in waiting on the Queen ; Lord and Lady Frederick Fitz clarence, Lords Adolphus and Augustus Fitzclarence, Lady Mary Fox, Sir Henry Blackwood, the Groom in waiting, Lord A. Beauclerk, &c. An escort, composed of the Life and Royal Horse Guards, was in attendance at the Garden-gate. The Royal cavalcade passed up the east side of the Palace, through the iron gates by Marlborough-house into Pall mall, on their way to Somerset-house. The appearance of the metropolis along the whole line through which the procession passed, was in one respect as if it were a kept holyday. The shops were closed, and business seemed altogether suspended. In every place the streets were crowded by a dense mass, who loudly cheered the Royal patty in its progress. At three o'clock the hoisting of the Royal Standard of England over the centre of Somerset-house announced the arrival of their Majesties. This signal was received with loud huzzas from the crowds on the water anal at both sides, and was followed by discharges of cannon of all sorts from the wharfs and barges. A guard of honour of the Foot Guards, with their band, and also the bands of the household troops, were in the square of Somerset house, and received their Majesties on their arrival, the bands playing the national anthem, which was responded to by loud and continued cheering from the surminding crowds. When the King and Queen appeared on the steps descending to the platform from whieb they were to embark, the cheers were renewed so as to be almost deafening. Their Majesties graciously acknowledged the compliment by bowing repeatedly to the assembled multi tudes. His Majesty looked extremely well, and descended the stairs with a firm step, declining the aid of the prof fered artn of one of the Lords of his suite. The awnings of the barges had been removed by his Majesty's desire, so that a full view of the Royal party could *be obtained throughout the whole line. When the Royal barges moved off from the shore, the firing of cannon, the shouts and huzzas, the waving of hats and handkerchiefs, were re newed, and kept up without intermission along th: whole line, on the river, and the shores on both side• The scene at this moment was inexpres,ihly grand. — The whole space within the lines, and a great part of that without, seemed studded with a moving mass 0: gl.ttering splendour. The floating of the Royal standard•; of British banners, union jacks, pennants, and streamer•. mixed with other flags of every colour and of all nations, the r attire of the aim( st countless thousands on the river and its banks to the remotest distance from which a view could be obtained, the moving of the scarfs and handkerchiefs, discharges of artillery, and the deafening shouts of those near tha procession, answered like a distant echo from Those more remote,—all contributed to give to the spectacle an effect of which no description could convey a correct idea to those who were not present. As their Majesties proceeded along the line, their presence was hailed in the same enthusiastic manner by the company, in the several vessels by which they passed. Her Majesty repeatedly bowed, and the King was frequently uncovered in acknowledgment of those marks of duty and affectionate attachment. Amongst those vessels which were particu larly distinguished in the line were, the two barges of the Lumber Tiosp, stationed off Paul's-wharf, with a military band on hoard, and 21 brass cannon, which they continued to fire at intervals, from twelve o'clock in the morn ing until his Majesty's debarkation at Somerset house. Upon his Majesty's arriving opposite the barges, the band struck up " God save the King;" an d the discharge of their cannon seemed to attract the atten tion of his Majesty, who graciojjLcondeseended to ac knowlelge the compliment by tej - off his hat. Between Southwark and London bridges the scene on the river, and At both sides, was equally grand with that above Black friars. if the latter had the advantage of including the gay appe Irance of Somerset-homeland the Temple -gar dens, the former balanced it by the view which it included of "the bridge" itself, the. great centre of attraction, with its splendid approaches, its Rpyal tent, and other magnifi cent preparations, betokening the resting place of the Royal procession. The vessels forming the line in this part, were in many instances, ei all y lay in their collection of flags and banners. AmonWlese a sun brig, and the Diana steamer, each of which (Carticugrly the latter) had a very numerous and re` I ron board, attracted consi derable attentio scion moved very slowly along in its way the very considerate wish of their Majesties th t ose in the line should have a full opportunity of seei the Royal party. In consequence of this slow progress, it was past four o'clock before the Royal barges reached the bridge. THE BRIDGE. The new✓ bridge presented a scene of gaiety and splen dour that far surpassed any spectacle we were prepared to witness. The preparations made for the reception of their Ma *ties, and of those distinguished individuals who corn. posed the Royal suite on this occasion, were conducted upon a scale of the most liberal and of the most tasteful magnificence. An awning was thrown half-way over the bridge. On the London side of •the bridge, adjacent to the site of the Old Fishmongers'-hall, was erected a splendid pavilion. This position was allotted to their Majesties, to the Royal suite, to the civic authorities, and to others, the more distinguished of the company. It was in all respects -worthy of the purposes for which it was designed. Con streon standards that had formerly waved oif i r i‘ the ,IN I OPEr almost every civilized rition in the woe. its I d eiriiAlPits - ' • 4v.01e.0f an equally- striking autOprinceltilah racter.

Edwith flags, shields ; helmets, and massive sv4rds. Their Arvlies' seats were beneath a gorgeous'cariort of state—of crimson cloth— the back of which witia 'orined of plate glass. To the right and left of this, catirpy were places for the Members of the R .:Tasiiily, the Ministers, and many of the nob' • dim the ends of this, the principal table, 't ' t angles to it, ran two other narrow tab cow w .ere reserved for the civic authorities and Al pc Parliament. No other tables were placed in the eel 1.-,',avilion, and thus . a large open space was presery in front of their Majes ties, whose'iiew of the whole of the company under the awning was free and unobstructed, except by the drapery which formed the front of the tent. From this pavilion the awning extended along the narrow part of the bridge to the distance of about five hundred feet. On' . either side there were tables for ithe guests. Trese tables were tilled with gaily and elegiNtly dressed cpM.'- * pany, of which the female part was perhaps more:l4- 1 merous than usual ; and we need hardly observe, MeV this was a feature in the festivity which must confer ad ditional eclat and interest on any spectacle. .On that part of the bridge which was not covered, the only ornaments consisted of large flags, and these were placed at so short a distance from each other, that when they gave their swelling canvass to the wind they nearly touched. Many of them were more signal flags, but there were, besides, the standards which wave over the palaces of all the great Powers in the world. Our own national colours floated inure proudly and conspicuously than the rest. Besides, however, the glorious flag of old England, we noticed the black eagles of Russia and of Prussia, the keys and mitre of the Pope, the rich emblazoned shields of Venice, of the King of the two Sicilics, and of Spain, the flag of America, and the colours of the Trinity House. Upon the whole the bridge presented a scene of surpass ing grandeur. The coup d'ccil from the bridge was of a novel and striking character. On the river, between London-bridge and Southwark-bridge, there was formed, by the gilded and glittering barges belonging to the city companies, and by numbers of private vessels, from the lightest wherries up to the most unwieldly barges, an avenue, of which the acted occa sion the regularity was carefully preserved by naval officers, who rowingas police, abouta preventing in an avenue was composed, from being broken, and turning back every boat which , after a certain hour, attempted to make its way through or across the avenue. This was an adinir& l e arrangement, and the most certain means that two lines, upon of whichtltis could have been devised of obviating accidents. With the exception of this avenue, every part of the river's bold and extensive sweep was crowded with vessels, that were laden as heavily as possible with spectators. So thickly crowded were the vessels, that scarcely a timber of them was vi sible. M e n, women, and children were seen hanging in dense clusters on every side. One, scarcely perceived what the machines were which bore them upon the face of the water. The river presented in all respects the appearance of an oppressively crowded street; and but for the rippling of the water and the contrast which the space that was preserved for the. Royal procession afforded to the scene on either side, one would have been lid to believe that the motley and thickly studded groups which were seen from the bridge, had really their position terra firma. The houses,ers rivers, filled also in every part with spectators. Erheit a the of t w h e e r n e i , at learnt surrounded as m a only in womenm o a s s t m e a e s n. e s w na rrow deal railing, were c o vere d w i t h peop l e, amongwhich there Th e neighbouring churches , too, were crowded in every part to whic h it was p ossible fo r a man to crawl. In a word, whicheve r wa y the e ye glanced , it encompa.ssed in with ros e of e its view thousands of human beings. Every vessel, even to the smallest and most insignificant boat, was decorated with colour', and among all the gorgeous spectacles which old Father Thames has witnessed, this, perhaps, was the most splendid. The company began to assemble en the bridge at about twelve o'clock, and, until the arrival of their Majesties, they were entertained by a military band, by the German minstrels, by the celebrated Siffleur, and by that still more celebrated performer, who has demon strated his independence of all musical instrument-makers by playing tunes upon his chin with his fists. This last i s no ordinary accomplishment, and one would be at a loss to imagine how Michael Boai hit upon it, if one did not recollect that wilco Baron Alunchausen had a quarrel with flint and steel, he used to strike a light by hitting himself in the eye. Shortly after four o'clock the loud and general cheering from the river gave signal of their Majesties approach.-- Every body rushed to the side of the bridge. A royal salute was fired from the brig stationed off Southwark Bridge, the shouts from the people on the river increased, the bells of the churches struck up a merry peal, and in a few minutes the foremost of the Royal barges was discovered making their way through the centre arch of Southwark Bridg'. Their Majesties proceeded to the, top of the stairs with out resting, although sofas had teen placed on the landing places for the use of their Majesties ,•in case they should feel themselves fatigued with the long ascent. His Ma jesty walked up the tremendous flight r of steps without the slightest appearance of fatigue. Upon reaching the top of the stairs, the sword and keys of the city were tendered to his Majesty by the Lord Mayor. His Majesty was gra ciously pleased to return them to the Lord Mayor, and to signify his wish that they should remain in his Lordships' hands. The chairman of the committee then presentee' his Majesty with a gold medal, commemorative of the opening of the bridge, having on one side an impression of the King's head, and, on the reverse, a well-executed view of the new bridge, with the dates of the present ceremony, and of the laying of the first stone. It is impossible to give any notion by description of the enthusiastic cheering which accompanied their Majestic s from Southwark bridge to the landing-place at London. bridge. The stairs on the London side of the bridge had been covered with crimson cloth, and at the bottom of these stairs their Majesties were received with all the formalities 1 which are " made and provided " upon the occasion Royal visits to the city. The king was handed out of hi. barge by Mr. Routh, who gave his Majesty his arm. Mr. Jones, too, as chairman of the "New London-bridg. Committee," was patent to receive bet Majesty on bet landing. Upon stepping ttshore. tho King addressed then l gentlemen in the following wottl-. t ---" Mr. Jones and Mr. Routh, I am very glad to see you on London-bridge It is certainly a most beautiful edifice; and the apeetacle is the grandest and the mast delightful in every respect that I ever had the pleasure to witness." His Majesty thee paused to survey the scene around him. At this moment the air was rent with the most deafening cheers from al; sides, and the King, taking off his hat, acknowledged this hearty greeting of his subjects by repeeted bows. As soon as these formalities were completed, and the whole of the royal party had asseml.led in the P.itilion. their Majesties proceeded to the end of the bridge amidst that most grateful music to Monarch' ears, the enthu siastic plaudits of a people. Their M tjestka were at tended by their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Cumber land and Sussex, and by the principal Members of the Royal Family. The offioers of the Royal Household, nearly all the Ministers, and a vast number of the nobi lity, and of the Members of the House of Commons, composed the Royal procession. Among these were Sir Robert Peel and his lady. The Right Hon. Baronet sea‘ extremely ill-received by some of the company, who gave a tolerably intelligible expression of their opinion of his late conduct by hissing him. In going to and returning from the Surrey end of the bridge, their Majesties threw medals to the spectators on each side of them. As soon as it was announced that their Majesties were approaching the bridge, Mr. Green had caused his bal loon to be filled, and just as the Royal procession had reached the Surrey side of the bridge, Mr. Green, with a Mr. Crawshay fur his companion, made his ascent.— Their Majesties were quite close to the aeronauts when they ascended, and appeared to take much interest in this part of the entertainments with which their presence was celebrated. His Majesty's progre o6 in on nd of le bridge to the other was, we suppose, .derellas ti oßening of the M n bridge. Ells Majesty sho hi f rom the parapets on either side the bridge to the mbled tpultitudes „ iiw below, and was evidently much struc . by the appear anct which the river presented. A hearty burst of cheers fronirlhe river welcou/ed the King as often as he showed hirlilleplqfter the conclusion of this ceremony, their ALl jestissliiditke royal suite returned to the Pavilion, where a celliltitin was la4llbut. A simi , ar repast was served up up , ths guests- elf-all...the other tables. This banquet was conducted upon a 4641 e of profuseness that was remarkabl; even in civic fets, which, as every body knows, are notorious, even to a proverb, for their magni ficent dig ay of abundance of good things. The wine, which' s extremely good, flowed more freely even than the teeste, desired ; and although caterers for the palate work at mmi l it_Vadvantage when their inventive powers have only coldriliterials to work upon, yet Mr. Leech of therAtondon Clouse, who furnished this collation, irsived himsel an artiste of no ordinary stamp. >, At the Royal table the principal guests were thus plfeed. On the tight of the King were seated the Duchess ,of Gloucester, the Duke of Sussex, the Duchess of Cam bridge, the Duchess of Saxe-Weimar, and Prince George of Cumberland. On the left of his Majesty sat the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, and Prince George of Cam b-idge. Mr. Jones was in attendance behind the King's chair, and Mr. Routh stood behind that of the Queen. The remainder of the tables in the Pavilion were filled with the othAlAdistinguished guests, and the effect of the scene wss now imated and splendid in the highest degree. As 4 their Majesties bad concluded their repast, The an M a rose to drink his Majesty's health. i " His Most Gra is Majesty," said the Lord Mayor, " has condescende o permit me to propose a toast. I therefore do my ' the high honour to propose that we drink his 3 acious Majesty's health with four times four." The col thuliritg! Vow, and after cheering in the most en .; sang the national anthem of " God save •-9 • HialMalestty bowed to all round, and appeared to be TottiM pleased. Sir C. S. HusurEa then rose and said, " I am honoured with the permission of his Majesty to propose a toast. I therefore beg all his good subjects here assembled to rise and to drink that " health and every blessing may attend her Majesty the Queen.'" The Loan MAYOR then presented a gold cup of great beauty to the King, who said, taking the cup, " I cannot but refer on this occasion to the great work which has been accomplished by the citizens of London. The city of Lon don has been renowned for its magnificent improvements, and we are commemorating a most extraordinary instance of their skill and talent. I shall propose the source from whence this vast improvement sprung, The trade and commerce of the city of London.'" The King then drank of what is called the loving cup, of which every other member of the Hord Family partook. His Majesty next drank the health of the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress, and His LORDSHIP, in a few words expressive of the deepest gratitude, thanked his Majesty. Soon after this toast was drunk the King rose, it being near six o'clock, and, bowing to the company, intimated his intention to bid farewell. The Chairman of the Com mittee and Mr. Routh, and the whole of the Committee, followed the King to the Royal barge. his Majesty again expressed his high satisfaction at the grand scene presented to his view, and at the whole of the occurrences of the day. Thus concluded one of the most gorgeous festivals that has occurred for some time past in the annals of the me tropolis, and if his Majesty were to gladden his good citizens by honouring them with his presence to dinner in Guildhall, their cup of joy would be full to the very brim. William the Fourth, however, has given abundant testimony that he finds pleasure in the company of his subjects. The circumstances of the two past reigns, some of which were mischievous and some un fortunate, had rendered the people of this country, until the happy accession of his present Majesty, unused to the sight of their Monarch. It is gratifying at once to the subject and to the Prince that such a system has been broken in upon. A King who travels in a close carriage with the lightning's speed, and whose approach is an nounced only by half a dozen Lancers, cannot expect that his subjects will care any more about him personally than they do about the Great Mogul, or that they will take any more interest in his movements than they take in the pro gresses of the same potentate. But a King who mixes with his people, and who participates in their enjoyments, not only gratifies them, but interests them in his personal happiness ; and such a course, too, affords to the Prince the pleasure of hearing the frequent and hearty expression of the people's loyalty from the people's own lips, wherein there is, at least, too much of bluntness for flattery to find a place there. At six o'clock their Majesties re.embarked, amidst the same loud cheering, firing of artillery, ringing of bells, and the other marks of respect which had marked their pro gress down. The procession had a more imposing appear ance on its return, in consequence of its being joined by several of the city barges, including that of the Lord Mayor. The same excellent arrangements, which were observed in the early part of the day, were followed up in the disembarkation at Somerset stairs, in which not the slightest disorder or confusio❑ occurred. Their Majesties, on landing, were loudly cheered as before. In going along the platform, her Majesty, who leant on the King's arm, turned round repeatedly and Lowed to the surrounding mul titudes. Ilis nrjesty remained uncovered the whole of the way along the platform. The cheering at this time was immense. In a few moments after their arrival at So merset-house, the Royal party entered their carriages, and returned to the Palace escorted in the same way as on setting out. The cheers as their Majesties passed along the Strand were loud and continued. The Duke of Sussex was also loudly cheered on his way to and from Somerset house. The weather throughout the day was most favourable, for part of the day the sun shone wi.h great power, but there was a cool breeze which greatly moderated the heat. Towards evening it became agreeably cool, with some slight rain, but this did not commence till some time after the procession bad returned to the Palace. Considering the immense assemblage on the river and its bank+, we are happy to say, that we heard of few accidents, and only one of a fatal nature, that of a young man who was pushed off a wharf at Bankside and was drowned, though only a very short time in the water. Three men were taken into custody charged with having pushed the man in. No other serious accident occurred that we have heard of: Soon after the return of the procession, the crowds on the several bridges quietly scpara , ed, apparently much ratified at the festivity of the day. At nine o'clock the I:arriers on old London -bridge were removed, and it was again opened to the public. It has been lately stated that two great per sonages, in order the better to defeat the Reform Bill, have " shaken hands." We lear❑ from Holy Writ, that when the High Church party of Jerwalem had a great ob ject to gain, a similar accident occurred,—" And the same day Pilate and Herod were male friends together, for be• fore they were at enmity between them-elves."—Dublin Morniny Revistcr. JUSTIFICATION OF BAIL The new alterations which are about to talc place, by order of the Courts of King's Bench and Common Pleas, relative to the justification of bail and other matters connected with arrests will require, in the opinion of' men of per T ie h n e ce, ol t , o i r b t e lle ac o te f d e uz i o r : : ‘ C : rr i c t el f2 )br r t( i f a c t s s caution. ionalx e were re ,pvalylictliimectenonslt;stiolefdop(pleofseiiiiglattli%,l :;o f hired bail to they jected, checked in some measure the nefarious ystem, the misehievons effects of which were only oL k a n n o d w: i i i s t g o u i o n s g e t a a t s t o k r o n te.yi inquiring r o i 11171 and t I the if ' e t sifting into the various names and character of the per sons offered as hail, and living by that sort of traflic. The public are not aware of the iniquity practised in the Bail Courts during the Team:, nor of the conspiracies concocted to procure the liberty of swindlers. At the last Old Bailey Sessions three buffers' bail were convicted of fiaTing attempted to obtain the discharge of a prisoner confined in the Fleet prison, and sentenced each of them to imprisonment for twelve months in the House of Correction ; and a J:ew Sessions ago a fellow was transported for fourteen years for perjury, in giving bail for a defendant. It is understood that the .Tudges will order that the name, residence, and occupa tion of every person becoming bail be published on a list, and placed in the several Courts of Justice during the Terms, so that attorneys and clients may refer to it. This will, no doubt, to a certain degree, have the effect of interfering with the schemes of the buffers. During the last term, one fellow, who had been an inmate of a prison nearly twelve months, obtained his release by tiring out his creditors, and not by " whitewashing ;" for he knew that the Insolvent Act would spoil his trade of bait buffing, and a fortnight afterwards justified bail in an action for 1401., although he had been a few days before asking charity. In another case, the name of a buffer was given in as bail in an action for 1601., and he described himself as a jeweller. The attorney for the plaintiff, upon inquiry, ascertained that the bail had been lately released from prison by means of the Insolvent Act, that he had been imprisoned under the de scription of a scale-maker, and while in prison obtained a scanty living from a menial office which he held amongst his brother prisoners. This buffer was afterwards proved to be always in readiness to swear to any matter, either as a creditor, under a fraudulent commission of bank ruptcy, or bills of exchange, to sway the choice of assignees, to an alibi, recognizance, or cha racter at the Sessions, or to make affidavit of debt to any amount to arrest a party for the pur pose of keeping him out of the way, if he hap pened to be a witness against a gaining-house or . brothel-keeper, and thereby stop the course of justice. It is much regretted by the respectable attor neys, that professional men can easily be found, who most readily bind themselves to transactions of so scandalous a nature, and proceed with as much alacrity against men, upon whom their clients have not the most remote claim, as against those who have contracted bona, fide debts. The Law Commissioners have, it is said, a measure in contemplation, which will relieve the Courts of Law, the Judges' Chambers, the Commissions of Bankrupts, and the profession at large, from conspiracies of the sort we have described. The fellow who is represented as having stated himself to be a jeweller, but who also appeared on the part of a scale-maker, is now standing and named as bail in an action. Some suspi cion having been excited as to the accuracy of his description of himself, the Judge ordered that the case should stand over until the officer of the prison in which he was confined be exa mined upon the point of his identity. Some days ago a man made affidavit that he saw a sum of money for which an action was brought, paid. The attorney for the opposite party knew well that he had a buffer to deal with, and at once threatened to indict him for perjury. In apprehension of the consequences, the buffer acknowledged that he had been paid the sum of is. 6d. for the bit of perjury, but he really thought there was no harm in it, as the man who paid him wanted the money very much, and he whom it was intended to defraud was very well ab'e to afford the expellee. The case of a person who is a witness against a notorious ga►ning-house, and who was arrested a short time ago for no less a sum than 700/., by a party whom he had never seen, and with whom he never had any dealing, in order that he might be prevented from giving evidence, is now under investigation, and will shortly appear before the public. FEMALE WARRIOR.—An eye-witness gives the following sketch of the detached Lithuanian corps com manded by Countess PLATER. She is about twenty years old, with pale and beautiful features indicative of romantic melancholy. ller duenna (lady's maid) supplies the place of aide-de-camp, and is younger than her mistress. The former is the chief of the staff, and at the same time in tendant-general of the corps. Both ladies are dres'ed as men, and mix constantly among the troops. The Countess has assumed the name of M. CONSTANTINE, and from hire the soldiers receive orders, provisions, and ammunition. MONTESQUIEU'S DEFINITION OF A FRENCH Loan.—" A great Lord," says MowrEsQtEu, " is a man who sees the KING, and speaks to the Minis ters, who has ancestors, debts, and pensions. If, with that, he is able to conceal his indolence and imbecility by an air of ignorance and importance, or a feigned attach ment to pleasure, he believes himself the happiest of men." Lettres Persane', lettre lxxxviii. This is a French Lord : the character will apply to an English, if for eagerness wo read indifference or nonchalanc., that being the distinction between the respective characters.—Dr. Lardner's Cabi net Library, Vol. VII. THE NEW RUSSIAN COMMANDER-IN CHIEF.—The family of the Russian Field-Marshal, Count PASKEWITSCII EKIVANSKI, was originally from Siberia, where it bore the name of PASSE. His grandfather emi grated to Russia, where he assumed the name of PASKE WITSCII. His grandson entered the army, and on distin guishing himself in the battles fought by the Russian army in conjunction with the Austrians and Prussians against the French, he advanced rapidly to higher ranks. In the year 1812 he was Major-General, and com manded a division under General BAGItATIAN, with which he fought bravely at Smolensk and Moscow, and followed the French on their retreat. At the battle of Leipsic he performed an active part ; he after wards made the campaign of 1811, and was present with the Russian army of occupation in France in 1815. In 1826 he was sent as General against the Per sians. On the 27th of September lie defeated Prince ABBAS MIKZA, near Elizabethpol. In 1827 lie obtained the government of Georgia, and became Commander.in- Chief against the Persians. jie took Erivan by storm, defeated ABBAS Mutta a second time, and forced the Persians to sue for peace. Upon this the Emperor in vested him with the order of St. Andrew, and promoted him to the dignity of Count. In 1828, during the Turkish war, he marched with his army into Asia Minor, took six fortresses, and occupied three Pachalicks. pie year after he advanced lir() the more important Paehaliek of Erzerourn, entered its chief town, and was on the point of capturing Trebisond, when peace put an end to Ina victorious career. Upon being created Field Marshal, he remained governor of the co nquered Pe.r,at, pro% im..es, from whence Poles.cehe was called to the command of the army against
