WINDSOR, Nov. 23.—l'esterday afternoon his MAJESTY enjoyed nearly three hours driving about the Great Park in his pony phaeton, during which time he visited Virginia Water, Sandpit Gate, and Cranbourn Lodge, where alterations are making under his Majesty's superintendance, which serve to occupy • his attention during his airings. his Majesty, as usual, was accompanied by the Lord Steward, and attended by two out-riders, and we are happy to state he continues in the enjoyment of excellent health and spirit. His Majesty' took his departure from the Royal Lodge this afternoon in his pony phaeton, accompanied by the Lord Steward, for an airing in the Great Park, at two o'clock. The weather being cold. his Majesty takes the precaution of being thickly coated when out of doors. There is no alteration at the Royal Lodge, nor any thing authentic respecting either his Majesty's stay or de parture for London, but it is generally expected that his Ma jesty will pass the Christmas, as last year, in the Great Park, and go to London in January, for a month or six weeks.—The Princess Augusta took an airing yesterday, attended by her Lady in Waiting.

NAPLES, OCT. 31.-IVe have sustained a great loss by the death of the celebrated 0101tAITNI Mama Ln.r. QUIT!, Director of the Royal_ Asylum for the Insane, at Aversa, whose name is so honourably known in Europe. He was born at 3luMatt in 1774. He was very early distinguished by his learning, and at first studied the law, but soon left it for a monastic life in the convent of the Suriti. Being after wards obliged, by political events, to lay aside his religious ha bit, and assume that of a secular priest, he was received as a friend in the house of the illustrious Berio Marquis of Salsa, in whose library he had an opportunity of extending the sphere of his knowledge, especially in what relates to the physical and moral nature of man, of which an irre fragable proof was given by the first volume of his Richerche sill ' Alsenzeone mentak. But the origin of his great reputation is to be dated from the time of his being appointed t direct the Royal Asylum at A versa. Linquiti was one of the first who perceived that insanity is a disease peculiar to the rea soning animal man, —having its origin in reason, never entirely departs from that origin; that the insane are not so in every thing, or at all times ; that we can, and ought to try, to restore their reason by reason ; and that the chief, if not the only me dicine in an hospital for the insane, is the luminous in telligence of the person who directs it. The principle w hi c h guided Linquiti in the trea tment of lunatics, was founded in this eduction : he began by considering them as sane, took care that every one should follow the usual exercise of his art and condition, and established his - new sys tern of cure on the basis of occupation and amusement ; occu pation for the versatility of the ideas of the maniacs, and amuse ment against the fixed ideas of the melancholy. The results of this method were so successful, that our new establishments of this description soon became celebrated throughout Europe. The health of Chevalier Linquiti had been on the decline from 7815 to his death, which took place on the 17th of September last. PALERMO, OCT. I7.—A man named IGNAZIO RonERTo, of Troina in Sicily, has invented a machine with which ships may be moved by hand, instead of the dangerous steam-engines. Three persons, one of whom works an hour and rests himself two hours, are sufficient to move a vessel of 20 tons (400,000 lbs.), and so in pro portion for larger vessels. The expence of the machine is from 600 to 1000 ducats. lie affirms that he has made repeated trials of it; he offers to apply it to any vessel for which it may be re. quired, and indemnify the proprietor for the first two trials if this machine should not act satisfac torily. IMPERIAL DISTILLERY COMPANY.-The Share holders who had signed the deed of settlement of this Com pany, were called by public advertisement to meet yesterday at Batson's Coffee-house, Cornhill, in order to take measures for recovering from the Directors the amount of their respective de posits, inasmuch as the conditions and terms stated in the pro spectus had not been fulfilled. Very few shareholders attended at the appointed hour, and the gentleman who called the rneet ing, not wishing to act without th e concurre nce of a majority of the persons interested, declared an adjournment to a day within the next week, to be fixed by an early advertisement ; though some shareholders present seemed to think the meeting sufficiently full to proceed to business. In the course of con versation it was stated that the projectors of this association ori ginally s tipulated with its members that their sto c k should con sist of 12,000 shares of 501. each, but that of these shares not more than 1,400 were ever sold ; notwithstanding which, the Directors thought proper to purchase most expensive premises, to which their funds were totally inadequate. On each share two instalments (amounting to 101.) have already been paid. Count WILLIAM VON HOIIENTRAL, having laid down his offices in the Kingdom of Saxony, marries the Italian singer TIBALDI. THE THEATRES. --moo.— DaLTRY-L ANE.— The Midnight Hour, a very pleasant Drama., part ly translated from the French, and rendered into English by Mrs. INGHBALD, with all that neatness and spirit which peculiarly marked her dialogue, was last night brought for ward in the shape of an Opera, and with the title of The Wager. The Piece, as written by Mrs. INCRUALO, was 50 Well constructed, and so en tertaining, that it seemed needless to change its form or to add to its fable. But thi s is a musical age, and as several of the Plays of SHAKsmt RE have been disfigured with songs, it is no wonder that other works should undergo the same fate. The music of this piece is partly extracted from MOZART, PUCITTA, PORTOGALLO, and other foreign masters, and partly original compositions of Mr. I'. CooKE, by whom the whole was selected, compiled, anti arranged. The piece was so well represented by I)ow'roN, HAI: LET, J. RUSSELL, T. CooKE, HORN, Miss CUDITT, atid Miss KELLY, that it was received with great ap plause, and is likely to be very attractive. CO VE N T-G ARD EN . —71 e of Figaro was represented last night at this Theatre.— Mad Ame VF;Tius acted ,Vitsanna, with all that ease, spirit, and naivel(l., which have rendered her so great a favourite with the public. — Mrs. CtIATTERLY was not less successful in The Page, and the piece altogether seamed highly to gratify the audience. This amusing drama was followed by the Romance of Aladdin, brought forward with additional splendour. M. MAZ U RI ER introduced a Chinese dance, in which tis agility was so surprising, that the audience, n the most vehement manner, demanded a repe ltion of it. F n.LEY in vain, for some time, at .empted to obtain a hearing. At length, however, to was heard, and he apologized for the non-re )(.tition of the dance, alleging, that as M. M was to perform The Tho:ilian Manky af :erward.;, the exertion would be too great. This plan was_ admitted, attention was restored, and We whole was much applauded. MR. KEAN IN THE UNITED STATES. The following article, which appears " in the most distinguished part" of the New YOr Daily Advertiser of the 2.9 th ult. is strongly expressive of public feeling in the United States with re gard to Mr. KEts, whose arrival was daily ex pected. There seems to be very little doubt that he will be driven from the American stage with the general execrations of the whole people : " It was not our intention, after the few remarks we publish ed some time since, to have taken any further notice of Mr Kean. But the course of reasoning which has been adopted in some of the newspapers induces us to advert to the subject again. The argument advanced in favour of this actor is— that in this country we have nothing to do with Mr. Bean's condUct or character in England. The amoant of this rea soning is—that should the greatest villain in Europe come to the United States, for the purpose of lecturing on man ners and morals, it is perfectly reputable and proper for our citizens to go to his school, because we have no con cern in any thing he may have said or done in so distant a part of the world as Europe. Some time since, three villains by the name of Thurtell, hunt, and Probert, in the most cold-blooded and savage manner, murdered a companion, and robbed him of his money. They were arrested, tried, and con ♦icted. 'Mortell was executed, Hunt was transported to Bo tany Bay, and Probert pardoned. Suppose. Hunt had been sent to this country instead of New South Wales, and, as he had musical talents, bad offered to instruct young ladies in music, would fathers and mothers have adopted the kind of logic above referred to, and said, we have no concern in Mr. Hunt's character or conduct in England ? All we wish to know is, whether he understands music—if he does, notwith standing he has committed murder in England, we will place our daughters under his instruction here. " If the celebrated Mr. Fauntleroy, who was lately hung in England for forgery, had escaped from prison, and found his way to the United States, and had advertised in this city to give lectures on banking and commercial integrity—would he have found pupils " Mr. Kean has been convicted of foul adultery—he de bauched the wife of his friend and patron—he destroyed the peace and happiness of a respectable family—and then, with the most unblushing assurance, undertook to exhibit himself on the English stage for the amusement of the public. Ile was received, by the respectable part of the audience, with every mark of reproach and indignation. Those who looked upon the crime that he had been guilty of as not being ' an object of legitimate attention,' endeavoured to support him there—pro bably people of the same description will do so here. But we are persuaded that no friend to virtue, no man who considers female delicacy and purity 4 as objects of legitimate attention,' will countenance a man on the New York stage, whose cha racter and conduct are blighted with this species of pollution." Professor LESLIE, in his introductory lecture on Tuesday, had a piece of gratifying intelligence to communicate to his class. A gentleman of emi nent talents and distinguished benevolence had placed at his disposal a donation of 2001. to be employed in enlarging the physical cabinet con nected with the class ; he had further destined the suurn of 501. annually for two prizes to the more advanced pupils ; and for the present year he had promised an additional sum of 751., to be given as prizes for the two best essays on Comets to candidates who had studied at this University. The conditions to be annexed to these trials of proficiency were not yet settled. For the present session, it was proposed to admit as competitors for the two prizes all those who join the Natural Philosophy class this season, and have attended it before within a period of five years. The prizes are to be awarded in March next-201. with a gold medal of the value of 101., for the best essay ; 201., with a silver medal of the same size, for the next in merit. The 751. previously mentioned will be expended in prizes for the best essays upon the subject given, and for which all those who have studied at Edinburgh University within the last ten years will be invited to con tend. For these liberal donations they were in debted to Mr. FeHowes, of Ityegate, in Surrey ; whom the late worthy and learned Baron Ma seres had selected to be the heir of his fortune; and who had seized this occasion to testify his re spest for the University of Edinburgh, and his per sonal regard for the Professor as an intimate private friend of the deceased. "If these first marks of his favour," said the Professor, 64 produce th e good effects that may be anticipated, it is pos sible that we may yet obtain more substantial proofs of his patronage." Professor Leslie made honour able mention, at the same time, of the conduct of the magistrates and town council, the patrons ; who with a lsberality that augured better times had granted him a sum, ane promised further supplies, for procuring additional apparatus.— (Edinburgh Times.) ...., , . ty , i; . .;i ---,,;', .--.. r . . - t & 3 .• ~, „ ,el 4 4 t.: ... - 4 , ~,- i.....^,..

Though, Stranger, thy counsel I cannot obey, Yet turn not, I pray thee, in anger away -1 have lov'd ! oh ! how well ! though that love still has been, A cloud that has darken'd fond youth's fairy scene ; it has brought me, alas ! tears of sorrow and blight, But they were not the tears, or of wrong, or of si4nit— A heart that's less true, and less constant than mine, An " Idol" quite hopeless would quickly resign ; A heart with such feelings so proud and so deep, A cold faithless " Idol" could ne'er strive to keep. Still then let me wear not unwilling the chain, Whilst I know that His breast heaves with yet keener pain, Still precious to me, whilst I feel and I know There lives in one bosom a fond " kindred glow." But ah ! painful thought should that glow cease to be, At the very same moment the change I shall see, The spell will then burst—and my heart will be free ! Wednesday, N0v. 1 23. GERTRUDE. DESTRUCTION OF A GAMING-TABLE IN DUBLIN. _On Sunday 26 persons of various occupations—private gen tlemen, attorneys, working - tradesmen, and waiters out of place —were brought before Major Sirr (the sitting Magistrate), charged by 111 r. Farrell, chief officer of police, with being found in the gaming-house of Edward Reynolds, in Temple line, playing at the game of Hazard, at one o'clock in the morning. informations had been lodged, and a warrant directed to Mr. Farrell, on Saturday. At the hour mentioned, he proceeded, accompanied by a numerous train of peace-offi cers, and some of the horse police, in coloured clothes, under the care of Mr. Bell. armed with sled.res and crow-bars. Hay f ig demanded admittance, which, as is usual was refused, a signal was given, and, in a few minutes, the door gave way before the well-applied blows of the sledges. Some of the corn piny were in the dining-room, where there was a large oval table, at which they sat ; many got cut on the roof, but they were followed and brought back by the peace-officers, Harley, Jones, and Holland ; three escaped into the yard of a whole sale house in Eustace-street, forced through the kitchen win dow, and out into the street, where their retreat was cut off by peace-officer Cox, who had been stationed there for the pur pose. Being asked by Major Sirr what they had to say, many of them admitted their having gone there to play ; others said they went there to see persons who owed them money ; there never was a more wretched-looking group inside the office.— They were ordered to pay a fine of 405., and in default will be committed to Newgate. No exertion is sufficient to put down this most destructive vice. It appears that a-klinner was given to at least 40,select gamblers and swindlers on Thursday, the 10th instant, at which a veteran, who has realized a con siderable fortune by gaming presided.—(Dublin Morning Post.) Ihrir.y.—lt is a fact that at thy time it was mentioned in the papers that honey in London fetched the price of fresh butter, it was hawked about the streets at Diss in pails, and though offered at 6d. per pound, a great deal was carried home unsold.—(Bury Gazette.) Bur,r, BAITING.—The attention of the Univer-1 sity of Oxford has been drawn to the subject ofi hull-baiting, in consequence of the late baiting which took place within a few miles of that City, when a monster in human shape, tare from the root the tongue of his pitiable victim, and hand ed it: about the ring. In consequence of this barbarity, we are told, that a petition to Parlia ment is now in preparation, praying, that bear baiting, badger-baiting, dog-fighting, and similar cruel sports, may be prohibited, under suitable penalties. EXTR AORDIN APPLE.—Saturday last was taken from a tree in the garden of a gentleman near Hereford, an apple called the Germaine, which measured 12 i►►ches and a half round one way, and 12 inches and three quarters another, and weighed 15 ounces. This was one of a second crop from the same tree, the first of vs Bich was an abundant one, and was gathered in July, and the tree again partially blossomed, and pro duced 17 very fine apples. SINGULAR ACCIDENT AND MIRACULOUS ESCAPE. —Yesterday morning, at about seven o'clock, the front part of the provision and grocery shop occupied by Mr. Nossop,at the corner of Edmund street, Oldhall-street, fell down with an awful and tremendous crash. The family, we are informed, had not come down stairs at the moment when the alarming occurrence took place ; but as they were accustomed to sleep in a part of the premises rather detached from the shop, they happily escaped injury. The catastrophe appears to have been caused by the natural decay of the beams and joists, which are evidently incapable of sup porting the weight of the building, and not by an accumulation of weight in the upper rooms, which has in some instances been the cause of similar occurrences. Mr. Mossop's premises are usually filled with customers on Saturday evening, and had the accident happened but a few hours ear lier, it would, we fear, have been attended by the sacrifice of many lives. From the present appearance of the ruins, we should suppose that the mortar which been originally used must have been mixed wits► sea-sand, or some other bad material, for it is literally reduced to dust.— ( Liverpool Paper, Nov. 11.) Letters from Greenock announce the arrival of vessels from Miramichi, the masters of which state, that previously to their sailing there had been heavy rains and a fall of snow, which had effectually put a stop to the further ravages of the conflagration in the woods. A FRACAS took place yesterday afternoon on the Royal Exchange, between a celebrated South American Loan Contractor, and a member of the Stock Exchange. The language made use of was of a very coarse nature, and the South American Loan Contractor was threatened by his adversary with a pulling by the nose, which threat, no doubt, would have been put in execution, but for the intervention of a mutual friend. The cause of the dispute, it is said, related to some Stock Exchange transactions. The fracas cauQed considerable laughter, and was the subject of ge neral conversation. The Loan Contractor is a member of the Hebrew persuasion. On Friday and Saturday, upwards of one hun dred sail of vessels of different denominations, went out of Ramsgate harbour, bound to the westward. tAmongstN healthy t ru l t : ia a l n t i:naou at t e te r h eawgcaesaopaft aein i rge ito.yf has a father living and we ll, in .ySwewiich, s h aa y b fis r n i iee g l , Sweden, at the great ago of one hundred and thirty-two years, and also a mother living and well, at the age of one hundred and twenty-two years ANECDOTES, &c. REMAnKABLE DAY.—This day is the anniver sary of Hugh Le Despencer, the favourite of Edward the Second, being hanged at Hereford, 1329; his father was hanged at Bristol in Octo ber preceding; of the death of Lawrence Ricci, the last General of the society of the Jesuits, 1776 ; and of the death of Dr. Henry, historian, 1790. KELLY, who was afflicted with the gout, being told that the gout ensured its possessor a long lease of life, replied, " If it be so, I am sure the lease is held at a rack rent." LORD KAIMES says, that there is an old law in Wales, that for defiling the Prince's hed, the offender must pay a rod of pure gold, of the thickness of the finger of a ploughman w ho has ploughed nine years, and in length from the ground to the Prince's mouth when sitting.

The Earl of Warwick was steward at this surprising scene of gluttony, the Earl of Bedford treasurer, and Lord Hastings comptroller. There were also 1,000 servitors, 62 cooks, and 55 scullions. OLD GRIMALDI, father of the present Senior, was well known in Flanders and on the Continent, as a dancer, and for expertness in leaping was called Iron Legs. He once leap2tl so high at Paris that he broke a chandelier, a piece of which hitting the Turkish Ambassador, who was in the stage box, he considered it as a premeditated affront, and complained to the French Court of the outrage. But the most extraordi nary circumstance was his being put in prison for indecency on the French stage. After this his popularity decreased. and he rambled with a party of strollers into Flanders. As he added legerdemain and other tricks to his jumping, he was there con sidered a supernatural being. Grimaldi was always accompa nied by a lady, who was occasionally supposed to be his wife, his sister, or his daughter. So equivocal was the character of the lady at various places, that it was difficult to ascertain the precise degree of relationship. She was remarkably like him, being a squat, thick, strong figure, and almost as great a jumper as himself. At the time he was obliged to decamp into Flan ders, he and his troop were attacked near Brussels by a ban. ditti, the baggage waggon was ransacked, their pockets turned inside out, and the thieves, according to their usual custom, about to dispatch their prey. It should be stated that rimaldi, wanting money for his expedition, enticed one Flahaut, a bookseller, to follow his fortunes. Fla haut, being a Latin scholar, took it into his head it would be a good thing to introduce the ancient chorus on the stage, by way of explaining Grimaldi's dances. Gri maldi, who appeared to approve the scheme, told him it would succeed by degrees, and that he had better learn to dance first: which would make him immediately useful. Flahaut set to work. Grimaldi promised to make him a capital dancer, and he having got together as much money as he could, left his family, and accompanied the strollers. When the sabres of the banditti were drawn to dispatch the dancers, Grimaldi, who at any risk, would have his joke, whispered Flahaut to speak Latin to them ; the enthusiast began, and for a few seconds the sabres were suspended ; presently loudly vociferating dixi, one of them, aiming a blow at his head, cried feci, which blow, had it taken place, would have silenced the orator for ever. But the lady, Grimaldi's partner, in the fury of ro mantic heroism, just as the word dispatch was given, stepped forward, and, in a scream of ?etpair, implored the banditti to have pitty on her comrades, offering that, if they would be merciful, she would yield herself up a sacrifice, and devote herself to their pleasure. She diseribtd l!ow many ways she could be useful to them—she could dance and sing to amuse them, she could cook for them, &c. In short, the robbers were appeased, and carried off the lady in triumph, but not till they had reduced the remainder of the troop to a state of nudity, leaving them nothing but the refuse of what the pillaged from the baggage waggon, consisting of a few odds and ends of pantomime dresses, Grimaldi put on an old harlequin's jacket, poor Fla haut was forced to be contented with the trousers of Scarantouch, and in this plight they begged their way to Brussels. The following anecdote is related a the pre sent King of Bavaria :—A idow, who had re. ceived a monthly pension of eight florins from the Civil List of the late King, was featful of being deprived of that support. She therefore preented a petition to his Majesty. The King kindly listen.: ed to her, took the petition, and retired into his ca binet, desiring the widow to wait. The King soon returned, gave her back her paper, and or dered her to present it to his Treasurer. What was the astonishment of the good woman, when she learnt that the King had just ordered that she should receive sixteen florists instead of the eight she had been accustomed to receive each month.—(French Paper.)
