THE DUKE OF ORLEANS. His Royal Highness the Duke of ORLEANS, eldest son re t'e King of PRANCE, honoured Liverpool with S visit 01 Thursday last. The letter from Lord PAr-stERSTON to hi- Worship the Mayor announced his Royal Highness's inten tion ; and. as he was expected via Manchester, the rai: road Directors had made suitable preparations to receiv so distinguished a personage, who had undertak. n the journey for the purpose of seeing their magnific nt under taking. Their preparations, in this ance, however. were unnecessary, for the Royal Duke came direct front L••mien. He slept at Leicester on Wednesday night, an arrived here, at the Adelphi Hotel, at 4 o'clock on Thurs day afternoon. He was attended by a Nuite of six gentlemen and a numerous r tinue. Irnmedii,tely on alighting freni his carriage he walked out alone, and spent an hour and it half in loungeing through the town. On his return h. dined at the Root, Mr. RAnLEY - having prepared dinner for h.s Royal Highness; and at about half.past 7 because ,. his arrival to be intimated to the Mayor, who, accompa. nied by Mr. Bailiff ASPINALL, instantly waited on him. They expr. seed their gratification at the honour of his R y 1 Highness's visit, and he chatted with them fami liarly for some time in excellent Eneli•h. On their de parture his Royal Highne-s visited the theatre incog. On Friday morning, at 9 o'clock, his Worship the Mayor, en.. Mr. Bailiff ASPINALL were invited to a dejeune at the Adelphi, immediately after which the Royal Duke and his suite repaired to the tunnel in Wapping, where the Di rectors were waiting their arrival. They here got into a train prepared expressly for them, accompanied by the Di rectors, pass d through the tunnel, and set off for Man Chester, which, to their utter astonishment, they reached in little more torn an hour from the time of starting. His Royal Highness expressed, not only his sense of the polite ne-s of the Director:, but his gratification at the mecha nical wonder—the Railway. The shortness of the Prince's stay was swing to the necessity he was under of being again in London, having to a:tend the QUEEN'S Drawing-room and dine with his MAJESTY on Tuesday. His object in coming was to see the railway, for he had seen the docks, &c., when be was here thr, e years ago. The Prince is a handsome young man, With a full face, and stands about five it-et eight inches high. His manners are easy, un affected, and gentlemanly.—Liverpool His MAJESTY gives a grand dinner this evening to the members of the Jockey Club. On similar ore isions, during the last reign, it was the custom of the KING to propose stakes for Newm,rket and Ascot, and the party seldom broke up without sevral additional races being made up for those meetings. His late MAJESTY was also in thi- habit of appropriating Cumberland Longe to the use of the club during Ascot Races. The Duke of ORLEANS and suite left town last night, at eight o'clock, fur Rochester, where his Royal Highness was to sleep; and this intoning he is expected to proceed to Deal, to visit the combined squadron in the Downs, whence he departs for Dover, Ott his way to Brussels. The Duke and suite attend-d the QUEEN'S Drawing room r-sterday, and took leave of their MAJES TIES, on his return to the Continent. The Duke substi tuted a plain frock for his uniform at the Palace, and th. nce proceeded to pay farewell visits to Prince TALLEY RAND and Earl GREY ; to the latter he expressed his ,hanks very warmly for the kindness with which he bad been received in this country. Gover►:ment have appointed Col. CAMPBELL Diplionatic Agent to the Court of the Viceroy of EGYPT ; and JOHN THURBURN, Esq., of the firm of "igloos dud Co., Consul at Alex,,ndria, Prince MoiIDvINoFF (one of the Chamber !ains to the E operor of RUSSIA, and Attache to the Rus sian Embassy), arrived at A-htiurnham House the night lirfore last. The Chevalier de YACOLEFF has also re cently arrived from the Russian capital. We have accounts from the Mauritius, by which we learn that Sir CHARLES COLVILLE hid sailed for the Cape (where he arrived on th. 20th March). Mr. ADRIAN DEHNEY had sailed with him, and proceeds to England as a D puty, to lay the sentiments of the in habitants of the Mauritius be ore the British Government. Sir W. NICOLAY was proceeding with vigour in conmuli Ia in.; his G•tv,rnment. LORD GAMBLER'S WILL.—The will and three codicils of the Right Himourah , e L ,, Td GAMBIER hive been proved at Doctors' Commons, and the personal property is sworn to be under the value of 30 0001. His Lordship's nephew., CHARLES J AMES GAMBIER and EDWARD JOHN GAMBIER, Esquires, are appointed exe cutors. Lay LOUISA GAMBIER, lis Lordship's widow, becomes posses.ed of the greater part of the property during her life, and upon her decease it is bi queathed to the nep , ews and nieceQ, eight in number. Hi.

He also hiqueaths to his friends, Cotnitio dote HENRY Bolts, 50/, and the Hon. FRANCIS MONCE roN, 1,000/. HASTINGS, MAY 27.—1 t being the natal day of his R sal Highness Prince GEORGE of Cumber. and, the morning was ushered in by the bells of she dif ferent churches ringing merrily. Before nine o'clock there was a great display of flags ; the numerous vesiels laying off this place were decorated on the occa sion. At eleven o'clock our little battery commenced firing royal salutes, volleys. &c. Nearly the whole of the day our esplanade, the favourite spot of his Royal High ness, was thronged with the gay spectators, whose faces beamed joy and happiness at the signal mark and respect paid to one whom all here honour and admire as their patron. Our band gave seve,al proposed pieces of music on the occasion, not forgetting his Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND, and his amiable consort, the Duchess, considering them as the admirers of this beau tiful, select watering place, which they have so long honoured with their presence. At a meeting of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. lest week, it was unanimously re iolved, on the motion of the Lord Justice Clerk, that an Address should be drawn up, " congratulating his MA scsrir on his Providential deliverance from the atrocious and treasonable attempt on his life—in June last ye ,r The del ly in preparing and forwarding this address, ori ginated, as the Lord Justice Clerk explained, not in dis loyality, but forgetfulness. It had not been thought of Vore ! Amongst the thousand and one projects for paying off the national debt, one, propounded some 12 months ado, called upon the ladies to appropriate a portion of their pin money to this very laudable object ; the in_ genious concoetor of the scheme proving to demonstration that the sums now devoted to articles of the toilet, and to the purchase of superfluous silks and satins,would supply, in a given period, ample funds for the payment of the whole 800,000,0001. Lord ALTHORY, we suppose, is fully convinced of the practicability of the plan, as it is now patronised Sty Government. and books have been opened at the National Debt Office to receive donations, &c. under the title of " The Contribution for the Gradual Reduction of a part of the National Debt." THE HOUSEHOLD TROOPS.—Ott the oc casion of her MAJESTY'S recent visit to Drury-lane, a guard of honour, consisting of a small detachment of Foot Guards, was appointed to mount guard at the door of the theatre. On the following day a demand was made at the treasury of the theatre for payment of these men. The lessee, Captain POLHILL, was referred too, and he very properly returned for answer that he had re peatedly commaoded a guard of honour, but that he should have considered himself to derogate very materit l;y I , orn the character of an officer had he sent in his bill for d.ing the duty for which he w.is paid by is King. The Guards were consequently minus the usual fee. On Monday last, on the arrival of the Sir Edward Bah ks steam vessel from Hamburg, a lady pas senger, who gave her name and address " Mrs. MILNER, No. 177, Strand," was observed to ascend the cabin stairs very awkwardly, and displayed, what she appeared very desirous to conceal, a large pair of breeches beneath her petticoats. Mr. JOSEPH TYLER, the acting tide sur veyor, and THOMAS WARD, tide waiter tin board, sus. pecting contraband goods were concealed in the lady's in expressibles, followed her on deck, and requested her to return to a private cabin, where Mrs. PROBERT, the Custom-house searcher, divested the lady of her unfemi_ nine garment, which was flied with blond lace, value 4S/. P4s. The seizure was sent to the King's warehouse. —Bolton Gazette. We had late accounts from Swan Itiver yes terday, by way of the Cape of Good Hope. The appear ance of the natives in the neighbourhood of the colony in considerable numbers had caused some alarm, and attempts were dai y making to establish a good understanding wr,ll them, or, at l e ast, to iti-cover their feelings with regard to the cwonists. In this, however, little progress had been made, as their language could not be understood, and their shyness arid jealousy kept them at a distance from the great body of the settlers. The colonists are exceedingly jealous on the subject of taxation, and a protest had been prepared against the attempt to create revenue for the sup port of the local establishments, and the construction of woks, by the impo..ition of a duty of three shilling r galon nn I. pirituowt liquors imported from ahroad.

HAIL STORM.—Wednesdly se'onight th , vessels in the Channel near the Florma Light were over -aken by a hail storm of greater severity than «as eve. ,membered by the Oldest seamen. Hailstones. or rather ,;eces of lee, of nearly the size of an eeg, fell in all di. eetions.

THE BIRMINGHAM POLITICAL UNION AND THE LONDON POLlCE.—During the meeting of th e Connell " on Tuesday evening one of the London morn ing papers was brought nto the room, from which Mr. . . ITU NTZ read the verdict of the Jury on the death of the otiliceman CULLY. The effect produced was electrical The members of the Council and the Union present in stantly and simultaneously rose from their seats, and the room rang with three loud and enthusiastic cheers. A committee was subsequently appointed to draw up a peti tion to Parliament, seating forth the unconstitutional nature of an armed police force, and the danger to the libertie., of the country, from allowing it to remain under the control of the Government. —Birmingham Jo/Intel. THE COLDBATH. FIELDS MEETING.- Between one and two o'clock yesterday aftern ion Mr. STAFFORD, the Chief Clerk at Bow-street office, aCCOM pani d Mr. STIRLING, the Coroner, and his clerk, to the Old Bailey, and from thence to Bow-stre-t police office, where they had a private interview, which lasted for some time, with the Magistrates, relative, as we are informed, to the late meeting in Coldhath-fields. Lost evening the Coroner and other official gentlemen were busily eneaged for several hours minutely inspecting the depositions taken before the Coroner at the late inquest on the body of CULLY, the policeman. We have made every inquiry into the sui ject, but cannot positively ascertain what steps the Government are adopting. THE GRAND JURY OF SURREY.—Yester day the Grand Jury made another application to Mr. HEDGER, the Chairman of the Surrey Sessions, for per mission to inspect the county gaol. Mr. HEDGER replied that the Court could not depart from the system adopted for the regulation of the county eaol. A Grand Juryman isked how they could make their report as to the state of the gaol, unless they visited it, and inspected every part of it? The Chairman said they visited the gaol under the same restrictions that other Grand Juries had hitherto experienced. A FAMILY MAN.—Having occasion to go into ti e Prerogative Court a few days ago to obtain the grant of an administration, I found the Court engaged in the discussion of a case of intestacy, in the West Indies. I recognised one ot the Judge's nephews in the person of the Registrar, who sat opposite to him ; I perceived ano ther nephew at the side tit the Jud, e in the person of the King's Proctor, who was turning over the evidence for him ; and lastly, I discovered a thigd nephew in the per son of the King's Advoca•e, who was arguing the can•e, assisted by the Jud,.e's son, who was the junior Couti-el for the Crown ! This was a snug family compact; but how great was my surp-ise at learning that this same Judge is to he Judge of the Admiralty G•urt also.

PICTURE OF THE REFORMED HOUSE OF COMMONS.-It was now about ten o'clock ; and the diviiiiion being expected to take place Ain't this time, tip. House began to fill by Members who had not been present during the early part of the evening, and who had heard none of the debate, hut who were now some down afer dinner to give their vote. As their only object was to be present at he division, and to get this over as soon as possible, that they might !:o home again, symptoms of im- patience began to manifest th, mselves on every rising of a new speaker. Mr. BROTHERTON was overwhelmed wirh noise and clamour, while he attempted to show that our taxation might be safely and hone tly reduced by dimiiiisla. ing t e interest of the fundholder. Mr. Sergeant SPANK'S met no better reception while he depicted the distress in Finsbury. Sir WILLIAM INGILBY was cougl.ed at and interrupted until he became j c-se, and then he war partially listened to, as subjects for laught-r always com mand attention. Mt. Roraticx was groaned at, and but for the interposition of Lord ALTIIORP would not have ob. tained a hearing at all. Mr. TooxE, by the aid of ex cellent lungs, made his voice rise above the storm that assail , d him on his rising. Mr. WARD, who is a sort of actor as well as speaker, and who delivers himself with a most oracula manner and theatrical air, which shows the orator to be on excellent terms with himself, was listened to, b cause the whole effect was amu-ing. Mr. Hume was received with a volley, but, efter persevering, it subsided. Lord ALTHOR?, from his official station, and Mr. SPRING Rica, from the same consideration, were each listened to attentively. Mr. HAWES was received with impatience, though he was not three minufrs on his legs ; and Mr. TENNYSON. who did not occupy more than five minutes of time, spoke throughout amidst such con tinuous groaning, coughing, and interruptions, that it was only at intervals that portions of his broken sentences could be heard. There was no other reason for all this than the lateness of the hour, and the desire of Members to get over the division as soon as pot•sible ; for, with the ex _ _ ception of the Min'sters th. mselves, no one escaped a por tion of the vociferation.—Mr. Buckingham's Parliamen tary Review. BARBAROUS MURDER.— A murder of a most atrocious nature was committed on Friday, near West Craigs Inn, on the road to GI ,scow. A boy about eight years of age, had been sent by his mother in the afternoon to bring home her cow, which was grasing a short distance from her house. He did not return at the time expected, when the mother becoming impatient, went in search of him, and alter some time discovered the body of her child io a state of nudity, with the clothes beside it, lying in a water conduit at the side of the road, at bbed in several parte with a sharp instrument. As may he easily imagined, the horror of the spectacle quite unnerved the unfortunate mother. An instant alarm was immediately given, but no person was observed near the spot. Suspicion has been attached to a man somewhat weak in his intellect, who goes about the country begging, and who had been in the neighbourhood of the place. He has been apprehended, and lodged in Bathgate gaol. There was found on him a large clasp knife, and also some pieces of string and buttons, which the brother of the boy who was murdered said belonged to his unfortunate brother. There were also some marks on his trousers, which had the appearance of being stains of blond. The matter is undergoing the strictest investigation by the proper autho rities.—Edinburgh Evening Courant. SHOCKING MURDER AND SUlClDE.—Witilin the last ten days. the hamlet of New Bury, in the town ship of Farnwortb, has been the scene of a shocking murder mid suicide. On 'Wednesday morning, the 15th inst., EMANUEL ERABIN, an illegitimate child, son of ALICE BRABIN, who resided with her mother and brother at New Bury, died under strong suspicion of having been poisoned. On Thursday, the 16th inst., a Jury was called together to inquire into the death of the child ; but no evidence was gone into, and the inquest was adjourned to the Saturday following. On the Friday evening alter the death of the infant, the mother was so preyed upon by the stings of conscience, th, she made her escipe from her friends, ran across s,:ine fields with incredible swift ness, cleared a high gate on her way, and, although closely pursued, threw herself into a deep pit before she could 1w ov rtaken. She was got out of the water with some difficulty, and Mr. 111‘FmtbANE, surgeon, of Farn• worth, was instantly called in. She was still alive when he arrived, and he attempted to bleed her, and tried other means to recover her, but without effect, as she died in a short time. On Saturday tae inquest on the body of the child was resumed, whey, alter a patient and thorough investigation, a verdia of Wilful Murder was recorded against ALICE EAA:AIN, the mother. Mr. M`FARLANE, who opened the body of the child, declared that death was occasioned by it, having had oil of vitriol administered to it.—The same day an inquest was held on the body of the mother, and a verdict of Self Murder returned.—The budy of the child was intermit in the burial ground of Astley Chapel, on Saturday ; and that of the mother, in unconsecrated ground, on Sunday night.

SETTLING for the DERBY and OAKS. Whenever the favourites get beaten for the Derby (and such is ;he case four times out of five) the I.toblic, or pro pray speaking, those not conversant with racing matters, seem to consider it a source of congratulation that " the knowing Ones are on the wrong side." Dangerous, an outsider, won the Derby ; Vesp I, also an outsider, won the o,ks; the fav-urites were " nowhere," and in all quarters where racing is the topic do we hear the old story—" Well, the knowing Ones are done again." This is altogether a mistake—the reed knowing ones are those who bet round on a system which cannot fail to succeed, provided they get paid, which, as in all other affairs, is any thing hut a certainty ; to this class it matters little whether the favourite wins or the field, they are sure to he on the right side. It cannot he denied that they may win more by one hors, than another, and such happened to he the case last week. D ngerous was about the most as kward of the outsiders. Toe losers on the late races were the barkers of horses, and these (with due respect, and admitting their itodis,,ensitbility to " betters round"), are not the knowing ones. The settling on the two stakes took place yes ei day at Tattersall's, and appeared to go off smoothly. There were no large winners on either rag-, the owners of the two winners not having possessed sufficient confidence in their horses against f oncy stables and public cunning. Mr. Sailer was so far from looking upon it as safe, that he ac , uaily offred to hedge a bet of 5,000 to 100, taken from one oh the most influential spe culators : it was declined as a matter of course; and the only consequence was, that the genilernan alluded to laid out 7,000 own., and almost neutral.z-d a " good book." S;r Mark Wood is not a great winner : his filly was thought something of for a considerable time, and was backed, but was never in the market. Sne was beaten twice at Newmarket easily, so that Sir Mark won hie bets simply because he was not afforded an opportunity of gi tting off his money. There tvere no defaulters —a term, by the way, quite out of fashion ; and with those who go out of their di-pth the custom now is to pay a little, promise the remainder, and begin de novo ! As may h ove been collected, the balances wt re inconsiderable, and the adjustment of them satisfactory. MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE. (From a Morning Cor.temporory.) SlR,—The following most extraordinary occurrence took place on board one of my own fishing vessels last week, for the accuracy of which I pledge m'self, although the most credulous would scatcely believe its authenticity. The crew of the vessel, consisting of nine men, will be willing at any time to come forward upon their oaths, if required, and attest the truth of this singular affair. If you, Mr. Editor, consider the narrative deserving a place M your 'iper, it may ultimatley throw same light upon the hidden transaction, and will greatly oblige Your obedient servant, Lowestoft, May 27, 1833. G. S. COWING. On Monday last, the 20th instant, a fishing vessel be longing to Lowestoft, Robert Gowing, toaster, engaged in the mackerel fishery, was lying at sea, about nine leagues to the eastward of Lowestoft, in 26 fathoms water ; the crew during the day cast their fishing lines into the sea for the purpose of catching cod fish and haddock (the pro duce of which is a privilege the crew have exclusively to themselves). Upon hauling up their lines they had caught several cod and other fish ; one of the former was of un usual size, and the master proposed it should be brought on shore for a le ; but being detained at sea until the following day, it was agreed that the large cod-fish should he cleaned and dressed for the ensuing morn ing. Upon opening the fish, the belly was observed to be of unusual size, which induced them to be particular in ascertaining its contents ; when, upon slitting it open, to the utter astonishment of the master and part of the crew (tie remaining parr of them being in the cabin), a new horn infant, in a perfect state, presented itself to their almost unbtiteving eyes. The master immediately sum moned that part of the crew which were below upon deck, th it the whole of them, nine in number, should witness unprecedented phenomenon, and bear their united testimony to the fact. They immediately began to examine the little innocent, which they describe as a fine full-grown male child, perfectly formed, with toe and finger nails com plete, and having dark brown hair on the back part of its little head ; nor was it at all disfigured or decomposed, and from its appearance could not have been taken by the fish but a very few hours before it was caught. The master is a married man, with a family, a distant relation of mine and one in whom I place the greatest confidence; but I have no doubt he would have been the last man to believe in such an occurrence had he not been the very person who witnessed it. The above narrative, it will be it marked, is incomplete in one rather important particular. It omits to inform us whether the infant JONAH was alive or dead. The losses of a sporting Nobleman on the Derby Stakes form no inconsiderable conversation at the west end of the town. There appears to he, however, little commisetation expressed at the untow rd event, as it is well known that the same individual was a winner to the large arm.unt of 35,0001. only a few seasons ago• His Loroship's present losses are said to be nearly to the same all ount ! . ____ There are to be three provincial musical festivals next autumn, namely, at Worcester, Liverpool, and Norwich—all with a view of promoting charity. CORNWALL. MASONIC KNIGHTS TEMPLAR. SIR JOHN ST. AUBYN, BART., P.G.M. (From the Falmouth Packet.) GRAND ENCAMPMENT OF KNIGHTS TEMPLAR Al ST. MICHAEL'S MOUNT, MAY 17. A. 0. 715. A. C. 5111. 11. R. D. M. K. D. B. K. Pursuant to a notice duly given, a Conclave of th. Ancient, Royal, Exalt.d, Religious, and Mditary Ord. of Ma...onic Knights Teniplars, of Malta, Palestine, Rhod..s. St. John of Jerusalem, and Hospi , allers, confederat e d it• encampment at St. Michael's Mount, on the 17th inst., celebrateto with high misonic honours the birthday oi S'r John St. Aubyn, Bart , tl.e venerable and resperte , P.G.M. of the county of Cornwall. On T' ursday, the 16.11 inst., " The Royal Arch Chap ter of Virtue, Silence, and Peace," was opened by ad . jouinment, in ample form at the " Mount Sin4i Lodge," in Penzance, for the purpose of admitting to the honour. of exaltation, thop brethren who, from their masonic cha rawer were entitled to the degree ; wh. n many brethren. from divers parts of the province, were admitted to an ac (paint nee with its sublime mysteries. _ . Efrly on the morning of Primly, the 17th inst., the R• , y,l Arch M 'sons and Knights Templars wet at the Union Hotel, and preceded by trumpets, &c., embark-d at Perz ince pier for the Mount (abut three miles di-cant) in Sir J. , hn and Lady St. Atihyn's state barges, and others prepared for tt.e oc , .asion. The bargemen wer, arra; ed in their state liveries and the barges were appro prittely decorated with the fl igs of the various orders r masonic knighthood, amongst which the banner of the Re, Cross slt.ne conspicuous. The day was eminently propitious for the excurnim, across the bay ; and the Mount itself, " that precious gen , set in the silver sea," at all tittles a glorious objet, now appeared doubly so, from the streamers floating cnajesti rally from its proud turrets, and from its direct connection with the romantic orders of bygone knighthood. Numbers of picturesque boats—youth at the prow, and pt ,leasure at the helm, and beauty the •.clued cargo—de— corated with every variety of colour, enlivened the transi , from Penzance to " the Holy Hill," where, at eleven, a.m.. the knidits companions landed under a salute of twenty one guns from 'he b.tt ,, ries of the antique castle. _ The procession ascended the hill on the north-east side, by a rocky winding path (in the course of which severs remains of its ancient fortifications presented themselves). preceded by a hand of wind instruments, and after th, usual ceremonial approach to a baroni castle, were first admitted by a warder within its gates, and then received by Mr. Baker, the stervar , , who, in the name of Sir J hn St. Aubyn, lord of this ancient castle, greeted the knights companions on their entrance with a true and right heart welcome. From this magnificent mount the prospect is of the grandest description, and is, perhaps, as striking as ati . that can occur to mortal eye. The immense extent of -en rai-es the most sublime emotions. The waves of the Bri. ti-b, Irish, and Atlantic Seas, all roll within the compass of the sight , whilst the eve is relieved from the uniform, though impo-ing, grandeur of so boundless an horizon, h t wandering, on the north and west, over a landscape which Claude himself might have transferred on his immortal canvas. The numbers 3. 5,7, and 11, are sacred to masonry, and in a masterly disposition of these consist the chit beauty of the castle architecture. There are 3 lights at the east end of the chapel; 3 embrasures before th• 2 lower lights of the castle; three loop-holes, which fact the castle way ; 3 embrasures a little further on; 3 em brasures north of the west wing ; 3 embrasures south of the portal ; 3 cannon. wt kilt form the lower battery ; 3 lights in that part of the building which retires fro!, t. e south front to the west; 3 turrets on the south tower ; 3 embrasures west ditto; 3 lights in the drawing romm ; 3 embrasures in the north wall of the entrance ti, the drawing-rooms. There are 5 turrets on the west tower; 5 embrasure. over the portal ; 5 •urreta south of the west building. which is south of the portal ; 5 turrets on the east frh o of the e ist drawinit-room ; 5 turrets over a projection• b-fore the east drawing room ; 5 opening, circular, above the preceding ; 5 embrasures, south east ; b turrets R O W: of the buil ing before the two lower lights east of tlii chapel; 5 steps ead to the furnace for red-hot balls ; 5 steps on each sole of the lower cannon. Seen cannons compose the south battery; 7 •cobra sorra north and south of the chapel. _ Eleven cannons c •mpo,e the north upper bittery; 11 embr , sures east of the hack court ; 11 turrets north an , south drawine-room walls ; 11 panes in the upper 4h• at the east end of the chapel, it is a circle; 11 st , ps crow, each of the gables of the drawing-rooms ; 11 embrasur, south ea t, &c. The knights were introduced into a spacious Gothic aparment, the ea-tern hall Here " The Cornubt campment, or Conclave of the Holy City," pitched Hari. tents, and aft r the necessary preliminary arrangements several R A.M. were installed into the honour of masonic knighthood, and invested and decorated with the symbol and en-igns of the order. After the ceremonial of the installation, the knights proceeded, to the sound of six sweet.toned bells, to tit chapel of the cistle, where divine service was performeo by the Rev. H. Gryll., Grand Prior of the order, when companion Fanning, P G. Organist, performed, on the magnificent organ wlai;-h ornaments this venerable monu ment of Saxon architecture, several anthems suited to the solemn ceremony. The unoulating sound of the chapel bells—the swellinr note of the organ—the full choral service, in which several of the knights at,isted, produced a most pleasing and in describable effect. Ind- pendently of the Knights Companions, who occu pied the stalls of the chapel, the household of the venerated baronet attended, and the chapel itself was filled with mi me:out respectable visirers, from various parts of the county. On the conclusion of the service, the knights returned to the refectory of common ball, commonly called, from the amique frieze which ornaments it, " The Chev% Chace R iom." The cornice represents in stucco th. mods of hunting the wild boar, bull, stag, ostrich, hare. fox, and rabbit. At the upper end of this room are the royal arms, with the date 1644, and at the opposite end thme of the St. Aubyn family. The apartment has s solemn and imposing appearance, which is not a littla heightened by the antique and appropriate character of its furniture and ornaments. In th's mtentficent baronial chamber the knightly re past was spread ; and to companion John Pearce, of Pen z ince, the encampment WAS indebted for the prepare , refection. Turbot and turtle, viands of the rarest kind, and wines of the most unexceptionable quality, all contri bated to the gratification of the congregated party. Alter the health of the King, as Grand Patron, and the Duke of Sussex, as Grand Master, had been drunk wit! due masonic honors, The Deetirr PROVINCIAL GRAND MASTER. arose and said, that he now came to that toast which must create a new feeling in the hearts of his audience, and carry then' to that acme of joy, which could only be called forth ba the object of their affections, and the gratification of their ardent and most sanguine wishes. That gratification hi would instantly give ; but as he had the hon''ur, on the occasion, to represent the distinguished individual whom they were about to toast, he would yield to another the happiness of proposing and prefacing the health of the,' beloved Provincial Grand Master, Sir J. St. Aubyn, Bart , on his natal day; and it was with the highest satisfaction that he del , gated that most gratifying undertaking to their esteemed Knight Commander Ellis, in whose warm hear the venerated Lord of the Castle held his seat as firmly and immoveably as the stubborn rock upon which this proud fabric had for centuries withstood the ravages o' ieropest, and treason.—(Load and repeated cheers.) The Exc. Principal Et.us then presented himself, am said, that to be intrusted with a proposition which regardet! the principal object of this novel, but highly intere-tic4 meeting, must be gratifying to the feelings of any one ; it would be confessed, however, that it placed the individuat in a very responsible situation. Although the them, was one which, to the ears of the brotherhood of thi• province was familiar, yet the peculiarity of their situa tion at that moment excited a timidity which obliged him to confess that he could not do justice to the subject. Surrounded by his companions, on the apex of this far famed mount, this gem set in the emerald wave, en camped within the walls of its castle, and above all in th. pres. nce of the fair, whom we t.'rm the angels of life, the ) 'night fancy the patron saint, Michael, again . appearing t , heighten the effect of the scene. Reflecting for a mome!l on these circum.tances, they seemed t o su rmount the 111.• &miry, and he would at once propo se the health of th venerable and venerated Lord of the Mountain, Sir Joh' St. Aubyn, Bart., who this day has attained to his 756 year. For nearly half a century he had held the higher office amongst the order in this province, and, in that situation had endeared himself to the brethren by es?' rN 4 , 3 w h tm h he had been called upon to perform. As great lauded and ;nine proprietor in this neighbourhood 'is name was ble-sea by titz.esands, who acknowlede , ' iris princely acts. As a g•-ntletnan, his urbanity pltce• trim in the first class, whilst his fortune gave him the op portunity of displaying that magnificence of style whit leads the beholder to days of yore, when the hospital' and grandeur of the ancients were proverbial. The scenes oi this day seemed rather to partake of the history cf ro mance than of the realities of the age in epic!, they lived, and be doubted net would long live in the remembrance of many. He hoped to be fol owed by the Exc. Principal (J. Gornish), one of the three who, conjointly with him self, and their very highly-respected Exc. Principal (Ro binson, D P.G.M.), form one Mister in the degree on this occasion, and whose capabilities are so generally ac knowledged and deservedly admired. He concluded by proposing the health of Sir John Sr. Auhyn, Bart. ; may he live long to enjoy the pleasures created by his own tx cellencies.—(Lowi cheers.) C. Coltman concurred with the sentiments that had been so eloquently expounded by the D P. G M. Robinson, cued the E. C. Ellis—and e.garded the Kni g htly comoae moration of the natal day cf the G and Master of the Pro vince on this splendid pile, so celebrated in history, ro mance, and poetry, as unique in the records of free ma fy.*. f . He exp res , e d hi s ar d ent h ope t h at th e de e p ma '""“eeling which prompted this memorable encampment vonld extend itself to ages yet unborn. The toast teas then drank with the highest masonic honours, and the moat enthusiastic cheers, while the gun" roue the batteries fired a salute. The CHAIRMAN said, that in his character as represen , -ative of their highly distincnished and venerated Pro vincial Grand Master, and, in his absence. he rose to ex ercise the privilege of returning thanks for the honour eonferied upon him in associating his name wila bwse unanimous testimonies of v:neration and esteem, so pow erfolly evinced by all present, in the soul .stirring ceremony if the past toast, which, like music's trielAy, still banes on he enraptured ear ; whilst, the not ir in which it was 1u stied, leaves the exhilarating balm and sweeitiess on the ip ; and like the corn and wine of deligtiting and •heering each gratified heart, though the sparkling be verage which mantled in the heart-entwining gob! , t had ~ .en drained to the last drop. an i a new the me of r• cis! eeling had called forth its oft-repeated an ; fiber rep!-- lishment. But he would ad tress himself more parti !ulsrly to his Exc. Companion Ellis. who, in that 'nay feeling and language so truly his own, had drawn from their hearts those acclamations of re ard and veneration for the Load of :hat Ctstle, that its wills will long continue to resound with the peals of joy and merriment, though each happy knight should a ked o is should d p w r n i i cot longerhis then a g: graced e i h d , p t q r h e i el i e e n t li t l i ;ir m a li l h • a t n fu d l furnishedated trichr board p ti n n g e ispect. He would no longer detain them. bur, in the iron- of Sir John St. Auhyn, pour forth (for the oisin ,,uished honours they h.d coh'er'ed upon h m) those Jateful -spirations which be well knew would have dyes igh in his generous bosom had be been present to receive them.—(Chrers ) The DETUTY PROVINCIAL GRAND N/A , TER theta gave ne heal h of Lady St Anhyn, in a sp,ech replete with he most felicitous expressions of regard, which was re , ived and drank with that warmth of feeling that ever listinguishes the M sonic character. Tne healths of the ladies present were then given. when Companion J Pain.? returned thanks on th it behalf in a speech of petry and love, and concluded by urging i!tch knight who had not taken a is by to his peculiar ,barge, to show his gallantry by d.‘ing so, for " Of life's divinest joys he knows hut part, Who never had a share in woman's heart." Companion BALER proposed the health of the Deputy Provincial Rubinson, whom he eulogisrd in terms of high rempect, which were reiterated by every one present, and , he to .at wts drank with Vie warmest expressions of re 44rd, amid the roaring of cannon on the batteries. On the subsiding of the expression of pleasure, Roawsow, in returning thanks, observed teat hen he contemplated the magnificent hall in which they .. , ere seated, and the esteemed characters at the banquet, ecoratrd in the insienia of honour and office, he was arried back to the early period which first gave birth to ~ eir royal order, sod he fancied be saw around him Eitiope's pride in former days, and that a Grant Com otdiator, a Held Grant Marshal, a Grant H.tspital:er, n Admiral. a Head Conservator. a Head Grand B iliff, Great Chancellor, and a Grand 'fuicopolier, were at :hat inoutent vyeing, with chivalrou- ardour, in giving hat character to the proceedings of the day, which should and it down to p.istetity an ensample of " silence, mod peace ;" creating at the same :i:ne an era that would e held sacred in the encampment, the chapter, and the a rt ovince.--( Cheers. ) Af , er an evening passed in the full enjoyment of ma ...laic and social intercourse, the Knights-Companions pritt-d the hospitable castle, and re•embarked in order or Penzance, deeply gratified and impressed with the august ceremonies of the day. Their passage across the .ay was marked by a display of btilliast fire-works horn he castle. The brethren are greatly indebted to companion R. Pe,rce, of Penzance, one of the Heralds of the Order, f o r the expellent arrangement of the day ; but owing to a tornestic affliction, he was unable to join in its festivities. We are disposed to regard this memorable convention (me of the moat remarkable incidents in m idern ma ionry, and we have little doubt tI ut the .pirit evinced on his occasion, will influence the breast of every Free— iiiivon to a renewed and vigorous exertion in favour of th• ,t der.

Since the days of Jumus, no publication has excited such keen, and, in some instanc , s, painful -uriosity, as the lately-pub:ished tale of " Godolphin." The writer, let him take what me he may lor con ..ealment, cannot fail to be soon d:si-overe , l. The whole .ristocracy, male and female, are concerned in bringing to light one who bait aimed at them so palptble • hit, which hey feel in proportion to the manifest power of th? un known inflicter, and to the intimate koowledge he evi lently pussea.rs of their secret proceedings. It has, indeed, , teen surmised that, severe as is his book on our living astricians, the novelist is himself one of them! Though the actual writer may flatter himself that his disguise will he as impenetrable as that of the author of " Junius," he will, th-re is reason to think, from the measures now aken, be probably detected ere many weeks shall have -lapsed. THE CITY LAYSTALLS.—(From a Corres- Jonilent.)—We are glad to find that the city authorities owe ahead) , turned their attention to the manner in whi..h , hese receptacles of filth are managed. The City Lands Committee have assembled to devise the best means of , emedying the evil, the nature of which was thoiouehly xplained by Aldermen VerrantEs and WILSON. It ap ,.eared that not only the filth found in the city is brought -o these places, but that the lessees collect horse dung, the -lush from cow houses, &c., from other quarters, to mix with the filth brought in by the city scavengers, and so to form a richer and more saleable manure. The mixing and process of fermentation go on in the heart of the metro.. ;ohs, and at times the effluvium from the rotting masses sickens the neighbours, and it must at all times conside r 4 t.ly diminish the wholesomeness of the air. Mr. HAW- CocL, one of the laystall lessees, attended the committee, ind admitted the practice of accumulating and mixing the lifierent sorts of filth, adding that he conceived he had the power, under his construction of the lease, to make rd d el e a4 a l l i. worse nyega vcr e: t t ha h n a tdh n eh i em t c i :tiu e l o r d . r nl h o c t a t n a h l e h t alter th e was a t c h e e disposed to make it. He had a lease, the term uf which course of . his business without great pecuniary loss. There v s h °e some i an d o i nt ffi cee c x u al d i fficulty gre at af n ot were indicted as nuisance, the evil would continue through the present summer an d autumn t ill t h e cause came to tr i a l. The Commissioners o f S ewers m i g h t , ind , -ed, grant ap .mintments to a number of persons to seize and remove he filth as a ouis , nce, but the expense of so removing it, and for lighters, &c., from day to day, would be very perhaps as great as that of removing the dust and isheii, for which the citizens now pay 4,000/• per annum, while in former times they used to receive 3.0.001. There is another course open,—to buy the lea,es.whieb haye been 4ranted, and then relet to any one who will remov e .11 the filth onee'a-day on the lowest tern* e . Tha evil might, .oweeer, be ahatA by birirg a coupl e of barges to l i e constantly off some or , stf, and to reeetv-t only L. e sweep ings of the several makeup. as time exhalations from th e decaying vegetable matters are more pern'cious than those e mitted by any or all of the other Ingradients brought together by the manure-makers.
