and entering end stealing therefrom 48 planes, Value 61, and VariOtti other carpenters' tools, the property of Thomas Griffiths and William Fenn. Thomas Griffiths, earpenter, of Islington, stated, that his workshop, which is situated in a court-yard near his house, Was broken open on the night of the 3d of August, and . the property stated in the indictment was stolen there from. The prisoner had worked as journeyman for him a week before the robbery. Two police-officers, of N division, deposed to appre hending the prisoners in the Kingsland-road on the day of the robbery, and on searching him found some dupli cates of the lost tools in his possession. Several pawnbrokers came forward with part of the property, and proved their being pledged by the prisoner. The property produced was identified by the prosecutors. The prisoner made an incoherent defence. The COMMON SERJEANT summed up with his usual perspicuity, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. THE MAEKETS,(THIS DAY).

The superficial extent of the former, is should also be observed, exhibits nearly the lame pro portion as the population to the area of the latter; the first occupying 7,035,702 acres, and the second 8,232,675. Again, whether we class the population according to their religious tenets or their descent, the difference is greatly in favour of those who profess the same faith, or derive their extraction from the same source—the people of the Netherland provinces.

Tl►e Ex-King of FRANCE, accompanied by the Duchess of Brom and smite, passed through Maccles field on Friday afternoon, from Chatsworth and Buxton. the Royal travellers changed hones at the Angel Inn, and immediately proceeded towards Knutsford.—Macclesfield Courier. The exiled Royal Family of France are re presented as speaking very freely of their situation and of the circumstances which led to it; among other things they assert that even had the famous Ordinances not been issued, the flame which followed them was destined to burst forth in a very short time. A regular correspondence is kept up, through an indirect channel, between the Ex• King of France and the partisans of the fallen dynasty of France. Crrantes X. continues to assert that every thing will come round in favour of the Duke of BORDEAUX, and that the latter will be King of Primes in less than twelve months. Since his arrival here be has been taught by Ciraitt.xs to consider himself us King; but the Duchess of -Beam, however anxious for the restoration of the family, has pro tested against making the child a party to his grandfather's expectations.

GERMAN HUMILITY.--The following sin. gular frontispiece was a few years ago affixed to an edition of one of the Classics, published on the Continent, by one Senea. The copper-plate which flees the title-page re. presents on one side CHRIST upon the Cross, and on the other a figure of the author, from whose mouth a label appears to issue forth with the following words :—" Loan JESUS, Invest thou me?" His question is thus answered by another label affixed to the mouth of the person ad dressed :—" Highly famed, excellent, and most learned Doctor Swint, Imperial Poet, and well-deserving Master of the School of Wittenburg—thou knowest I love thee !! !" —Mirror. The mutual feeling of respect and sympathy between France and England, which has so happily sue. ceeded to thirty years of war and fifteen of jealousy and alienation, has been expressed in a variety of ways, more or less significant and judicious, and differing according to the tastes of individuals and to the national characters of the two races. Monuments and works of the fine arts have long been especially the fashion in France; and ac cordingly we have seen a medal recently executed at Paris, and designed to exhibit and commemorate the kindly feel ings produced in the inhabitants of both countries, by re. cent political events. The obverse of this highly finished specimen of u classical art, represents the genius of huma nity, a youthful and winged figure, holding in one hand a branch of alive, and in the other a burning torch. On the right of this figure are the emblems of wisdom and of hope, on the left those of concord and of strength, with the volume of the laws. The inscriptions are these : " All mankind are brothers," and " Peace and liberty." The genius stands upon a globe, crossed by the caduceus and carnucopi a. On the reverse are the words—" Paris, xxvii, xxviii, and xxix July, MDCCCXXX," encircled by a wreath of oak, awl around the wreath " The French people to the English nation." I was, within these two days, in conversation with an artist of some celebrity here—one who bad dis tinguished himself at the Place de Give on the 28th of July—and hinted my hope that the humanity and modera- tion of the Parisians, so gloriously displayed immediately ' after their victory, would be consummated by acquiescence in the remission of capital punishment, should the Ex- Ministers be capitally convicted by the Chamber of Peers. His eyes flashed fire, and, with an expression of counte nance which I was extremely sorry to observe, he said, " I am one of the twelve thousand artists which Paris contained on the 26th of July. We all fought, and we lost two hundred of our body in the conflicts that ensued from the attempt of those men (the Ex-Ministers) to im pose a degrading awl a grinding despotism on France. Is the blood of our friends to remain unatoned for ? If the Chamber of Peers shall, by its vote, acquit or modify the punishment of the guilty Ex-Ministers of Charles X., you will see what will occur within twenty-four hours of that event !" The preparations at the Luxembourg for the trial of the State prisoners proceed, but are far from being complete. Their guards will consist exclusively of the Garde Nationale of Paris, when once transferred to the Luxembourg from Vincennes. They may be deemed safe, et i.therefore, trials, from hut, popular leyo v nd vengeance until the termina that, even the National Guard could not protect them, if—as is not impossible-- the Peers should attempt to mitigate their punishment. 1 never looked forward to a more dreadful scene than will be that of their execution, or the consequence of their escape from the scaffuld.—From a Correspondent of the Morning litrold.

COMPARISON OF THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE PAYS HAS WITH EACH OTHER. The country has three great courts of justice—that of the Hague, that of Liege, that of Brussels—dividing the country under these three courts into three departments. The Court of Liege will embrace the provinces of Liege, Namur, Limbourg, and Luxemburg ; the Court of Brus sels will comprehend the provinces of southern Brabant, Hainault, Antwerp, and the two Flanders ; the Court of the Hague, the ten provinces of the north, which we commonly call by the name of one of them, Holland. The two first comprise that which is called Belgium. sflus::: - 2,860,888 1,753,5'78 1,583,6'71 3,337,249 1,931,376 1,288,913 1,432,347 12,722,260 Court of thel Hague Liege .••“•,,...•« sssss 1 Brussels Total of Bell gium. .....

The pro vinces of the north (Holland) are better supplied with canals than the south (Belgium); but those of the south are the most extensively cultivated. The five provinces under the court of Brussels have but few unproductive lands, and they are more built upon than all the rest of the country put together. This circumstance is closely connected with the amount of population, as may be seen below : ria, 125 46 46 49 1 tk I, -- - Hague' 2. ,289 , Liege 1,150,9k Brussels :1,648,40 , Belgium 3,799,000 Mean Popula tion in if 'ii. nhabi. tants by 100 bec.

The contrary happens in the country under the court of Liege : the generations there do not succeed each other so quickly.

The provincial revenues, however, press most heavily on Belgium ; they exceed those of Holland by almost a fourth. The Belgians com plain grievously that they should be taxed for the debt of Holland.

Immediately after hearing Divine Service yesterday af ternoon, his IlLugsvir, accompanied by the Princesses AUGUSTA and ELIZAHETII, drove out in a carriage and four, with outriders. Her MAJESTY rode out on horse back, accompanied by Miss Frrzet.ananca and Mies BOYLE. The Royal party continued their airing for nearly two hours. Prince GEORGE, accompanied by Captain FITZCLARENCE, walked on the Old Steine. During the time the band of the 2d Life Guards were playing, the Steine was crowded with fashionablea. Lord STRANGFORD, the LORD CHANCELLOR, and Lady LYNDHURST, Baron and Baroness Bu Low, had the honour of dining with their MAJESTIES on Saturday.— Prince LEOPOLD took his departure from the Palace for Claremont this morning at ten o'clock. Among the names left at the Pavilion yesterday were the following :—Baron and Baroness But.ow, Sir W. BEECHEY, Count DUNHOFF, the Loan CHANCELLOR, Lady LYNDHURST, Lady CLIFFORD, Prince and Princess CAROLATH, and Lord JOHN TOWNSEND. Divine service will be performed every Sunday through out the year at the Royal Chapel, as well when their MAJESTIES are absent, as when at the Pavilion. The establishment at the Pavilion is always to be kept up complete. His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE returned to the Pavilion this morning, from hlareefield, the seat of Sir JOHN SHELLEY, where be was on a visit since Sa turday last. A very silly paragraph recently appeared in the Wind sor Express, stating that his " MAJESTY, when taking an airing on the Marine Parade, Brighton, two officers of the Regiment made their obeisance ; his MAJESTY stopped, inquired where their regiments were quartered, and, on receiving their answer, replied very laconically, ' it would be as well gentlemen, I think, if you were there too.' The effect of this pithy reproof may be easily imagined." It is almost needless to state that the above is a mere fabrication, and that no such circumstance ever occurred, except in the imagination of the writer of it. His MA JESTY'S characteristic urbanity is sufficient guarantee, that he who lives in the affections of his people could not descend to wound the feelings of the humblest of his sub jects. The incredibility of the statement is palpable, even were its falsehood unauthenticated, from the fact that officers never, by any chance, appear in uniform in Brighton, except such as are quartered there; and that it is very unlikely his MAJESTY, when driving in his car_ riage, could identify two officers out of uniform amongst a crowd ;—besides officers are never absent without leave. It might as well have been reported of the Kinn that he told Lord Lynnttuturr he ought to be at the Court of Chancery. Sir ROBERT PEEL has presented a donation of 1001. to the Society of Arta in this town.--Birming ham Journal. Francis the First, an historical tragedy, writ ten by Miss FANNY KIMBLE, it le said, is to be pro duced at Covent-garden Theatre during the ensuing season ; and report states that YOUNG, previously to his taking leave of the stage, will be engaged to personate a promi nent character in this play. The Furet de Londra revives a report that Ni/J8 STEPIIENS, " Tune des meilleures eantatriees An. glaises," is on the point of manage to a gentleman in whose favour rumour has long since awarded that enviable distinction. It is stated in the Papers, that the Duke of Bitursswlcr, now in London, has had an interview with his MAJESTY; but that is not the ease. The Duke went to Brighton, and sent a letter to Sir HERBERT TAYLOR; but, having received no answer, he went to the Pavilion. Now his MAJESTY declined this interview in these terms: —The Knia, as a private man, would receive the Duke, but as King of England, and brother of the late Kura, that would be impossible for his MAJESTY ! This state ment is correct.—Aforning ;Jerald. The Ex-King of FRANCE, who is said to be a very good shot, has kept his hand very well in practice during the present season. He has been " licensed to kill," if common report is to be believed, by two different authorities—he took the license for shooting partridges from the King of ENGLAND, and that for shooting his sub jects from the Port. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER RACES. DONCASTER, SUNDAY EVENING. If our opinion is to I formed from the appearance of the race list, we should say that the ensuing meeting will at least maintain its reputation, the stakes, &c. being at once numerous, well filled, and valuable. In its most im portant feature, however, there is an evident falling off, viz., in the St. Leger ; from various causes, this stakes has lost some portion of its former attraction. Some attribute it to the trickery evinced on two or three occ asions (Ma ineluke's and Bess) , Bedlam's years being especially referred to), while the majority, and we think the best informed, place it to the account of a lack of spirit in the country gentlemen, and which has been justly complained of in the York meetings. If the north country people betray less anxiety about their favourite stakes, it is gratifying to ob serve the sustained interest of their rivals of the south, who seem to get nearer to their object every year. They have once or twice been within an inch of it; and should they, contrary to general expectation, fail on Tuesday next, we venture to predict that they must, ere long, suc ceed in carrying the Great St. Leger from its native county. In the long run, Newmarket horses, trainers, and jockies, must triumph. For the St. Leger this year, a very small field may be expected. The extraordinary success of the crack Newmarket horse has not only nearly destroyed the betting, but has completely frightened several others from running for it. Certainly there never was an occasion upon which the favourite entered the lists with such brilliant prospects. He won the Riddlesworth in the most clever racing-like manner, and would have beat Au gustus for the Column Stakes with equal facility, but for a bad start. The subsequent running of the two sufficiently proved the great inferiority of Lord Exeter's horse. The Derby was nothing more than a gallop for him, as was evinced by his defeating some of the foremost horses in a subsequent race at Ascot, and that with 71b. extra on his back. By these races and his forfeits, lie has netted to his owner the large sum of 7,0001. or 8,000/. in stakes alone. There are some, however, who will still cry out, "Ire may be a good one, but they won't let him win in the North." That there has always existed a feeling against the South country horses and riders, cannot admit of a doubt ; but we see no reason to believe that it will be evinced in any unsportsmanlike manner on the present occasion. The pretensions of the Yorkshire horses are feeble; Hassan, The Cardinal, Maria, and one or two others, are their sole reliance. The two latter have cer tainly won some races in very clever style, but have each sustained more than one defeat. The other is an amateur, his performances having hitherto been in private, and they are represented as wonderful. We must confess that we always doubt pretensions that are founded only on trials, for they generally turn out deceptive. Brunswicker has in variably disappointed his friends, yet they still prop him up in the betting, declaring that he will " win, and nothing else." St. Nicholas is not entitled to much consideration, his running is decidedly bad. The west depend upon Moss Rose and Birmingham, nor can it be denied that they take the field in gr e at er f orce th an usua l. However, if we take the average of the running at Newmarket, Epsom, and York, nothing comes near Priam, and we may almost venture to look upon the Great St. Leger as already in Mr. Chifney's pocket. Next to the St. Leger come the two-year-old stakes, the entries for which are unusually numerous. For the Champagne Stakes (29 subscribers), Lord Cleveland's colt Chorister, Lord Scarborough's Clarence, and Mr. Walker's Victoire, are likely to be the favourites. Chorister won the two-year old stakes in the York Spring Meeting, beating Victoire by a head, after a severe race. Clarence won the two-year old race in the August Meeting, at the same place, and without any great difficulty. Chorister is also in the stakes of Thursday, which has 44 subscribers—the greatest entry for a two-year old stakes within our recollection.— Victoire, Mop s y ( s i s t er to M at ild a ) , G oo d luck, and a sister to Granby, are likewise engaged in it, so that large fields may be anticipated in both races. The matches are of considerable interest ; Lord Kilburn has two of 500 guineas each, one with Retriever against Little Red Rover, for to-morrow, in which the latter receives 10Ib. for his year, and the other with the same horse against Priam, to come off on Friday, Priam taking only 31b. Retriever has run a very indifferent horse upon all occasions, and as bath Priam and Little Red Rover acquired considerable cele brity it is the general opinion they will win. Deasy Bedlam and Holston run a match for 200 to-morrow : the mare is likely to be the favourite. The additiona to the stakes by the Corporation are on the same limited scale as hitherto. It is not very creditable to the Doncaster people, who derive more benefit from their races than is afforded by any other meeting in the kingdom, to add such contemptible sums as twenties and five-and-twenties where they ought to subscribe five times the amount : they will demand 20, 80, 40, and, in some instances, 50 guineas for their lodgings (charging every thing else upon the same extravagant scale), are exceedingly rich, and yet confine their " gifts" to sums not worth the notice of even a breeder of cocktails. The only prize that really deserves attention is the one given by the stewards—viz., the Gold Cup, which has always been a race of great interest. We would suggest, however, that it would derive mesh more importance by coupling it with a handicap stakes of 25 sovereigns each, 15 ft. &c. after the manner of the Liverpool cups; the horses would then meet upon terms approaching nearer to equality, and the betting would be more extensive. At an early hour this morning an immense number of sporting gentlemen assembled on the race ground to view the horses at exercise; about 100 were out, most of them having the appearance of being in excellent racing order. Priam looked iu even better condition than when he ran 'or the Derby, and, what is no common thing, is greatly admired by the Yorkshire people, who admit that he is the most perfect looking racer that has been seen north of the Trent fur many years past. He has had an extraordinary deal of work since he came here, so touch so indeed, that some would-be knowing ones augur that he will get sick of it before the day : they are alike ignorant, however, of the adopted by the Chifneys, a n d o f of the horse, Brunswieker is evid e ntly im proved, he ever was before ; this is in some measure borne out their peculiary g e i l, la aistnytt style ofl Scott trainingcott declares that he is fourteen pounds b e tt er by the betting, in which he has risen several prints...-. Despite of this, we cannot forget his defeats at Epsom and York, nor can we help thinking that he is forced up to enable the party to pet their money off. Lady Mowbray it wonderfully changed for the better—we never saw her in such excellent form ; the noble Duke, her owner, declares that she never was so well as at the present time : she has been backed with considerable spirit. llessan is a fine animal, but has awkward action with his hind quarters his party is powerful, one gentleman standing to win nearly a hundred thousand pounds. Lady Emmeline, who fell amiss in the spring, has been taking regular work lately, and gallops like use that will not be easily shaken off; it is doubtful, however, whether she has had work enough. Birmingham is a beautiful goer, but is not mach fancied. It is not unlikely that he will be in the foremost rank at the Bed Howie, which we think is about as far as he can go. Maria looks a little pin -feathered, but in other respects is all right. The Cardinal had not come out when we left the course. We were sorry to find the ground in such enfe eble condition for running, it is exceedingly heavy, especially between the Red House and the hill. The winner of the St. Leger will require strength as well as fleetness : something in the Tarrare shape would have a chance. The general opinion is, that about 20 or 21 will start, sad of these we shall endeavour to give a list in our next. Ilia Majesty's favourite mare, Fleur-de-lis, was out, and does great credit to her trainer; situ has a good chance for the cup. We should here state dist the entire controlsl of the Royal stud is now held by his Grace the Duke of Leeds, who has his Majesty's commands to give every pos sible encouragement to legitimate racing, but not to run for olebrialltiaennt otamasitermusbpiargice last year. snatches or ha n di caps.

The extent to which gambling has been carried on here upon the occasion of the races has called forth the animad version of many of the principal visiters;_ it was not till last year, however, that any t hi ng occurred to call for their pentane! interference. The alarming riots that then took place through the thimble-men, have had the effect of in• (lacing the following Noblemen, &c., to call publicly upon the authorities for the suppression of gaming :—The Duke of Leeds, the Marquis of Cleveland, the Earls Fitzwilliam, Scarborough, Ilarewood, Carlisle, and Manvers ; Lords Milton and Morpetb, Sirs W.

In pursuance of this, the cor poration have determined to use the most rigorous measure , for the prevention and punishment of gambling in the town and on the course. They may probably do souse good, but cannot possibly do away with the evil altogether. The betting-rooms are opened in the same style of Wen dour as usual : there are already 400 or 500 subscribers.

Priam went back from 11 to 10 to 11 to 8, which was currently offered. Hassan also gave way. The Cardinal tuking his place with plenty of friends, Brunswicker and Birmingham were in great force, while Maria, Lady Mowbray, and Revolution, de clined. It is now said that 23 or 24 will start.

By the late JOHN BZUW Alt% TWO TOLL• aotirwm, The " Retrospection*" which Mr. ,Bernard has here thrown over the English Stage, com prise a survey of its most entertaining peenliari les during a period of 23 years (from 1774 to 1797), a period including more of striking theatrical talent than can probably ho equalled by any other of similar extent in our annals,— His subsequent career was on the other side of the Atlantic, and remains for future record, if, is his Son and Editor states—but because, as we would venture to say—the reception of the present volumes shall warrant the proceeding.— l'he taste of the majority of readers can hardly fail to derive much gratification from the work before us, where subject succeeds to subject, story to story, jest to jest, with a butterfly light ness, and gaiety, and grace, that leave no in terval for languour or satiety. The introduction of various non-theatrical characters contributes to diversify agreeably the professional reminis cences : thus we have lively records of members of the Beef-steak Club, curious incidents of the early days of Sir Thomas Lawrence, &e. We subjoin, by way of extract, a passage in. the life of the Earl of Bristol, who was like wire Bishop of Derry, and fond of (a) good living : " At breakfast the Earl felt unwell, and, attributing it to his non-compliance with his usual custom (bathing), blamed his domestic, an Irish giant of a valet (a fellow as muscular as he was tall, who had been in his service many years, and dischsrfed the duties of waking hiin in the morning, and waiting on him to the bath), for nut com pelling him to bathe, whether lie wished it or not, know ing that such an act was conducive to his master's health. ' Teddy,' said he, you know what benefit I have derived from bathing, and you know very well that when a wan , is inclined to sleep he will sacrifice anything to enjoy lac bed. Another morning, when you find me unwilling to rise, take me up in your arms—you are 'bong onongh— and carry me to the bath !' • Very well, Sir,' said Teddy, I'll remember.' The following morning Teddy, true to his duty, came into the Earl's chamber, anti awoke hint to take the bath ; but his master was as little inclined to rise on this occasion as before, and moreover felt displeased at being so hastily summoned from a beautiful panteminie that was performing in the play-house of his brain. But Teddy was not to be put off or got rid of, and insisted ott his getting up. 'I tell yea I shall not rise this niorning, Sir,' said the Earl. But you inset rise!" Must! gt out of the room, you reseal !' By the powers, l'll de to such thing.' Am I not your master ?" Dot i I know it's for your health ?" I command you, Sir.' i Yee, but, pima your Grace, you are either nut awake now, e r you're nut sensible of what you're saying ; and if I let yult slope now, don't I know very well that at breakfast you'll be scowlding me again, as you did yesterday ? So conic along, my Lord, 'tis no use your kicking and bawling—. you must come and bathe yourself.' Saying which, he quietly took the Earl up in his arms, as he would have done a lap-dog, and carrying him to the tub, plumped him in it. The latter, knowing it was no use to struggle in such a situation, when the shock was over called fur soap and towels." This immersion into the book has been so long a one, that it forbids us to dip any further : but we would prescribe to our readers to do this for themselves, as an assured means of washing away the stains of " green and yellow melan choly," and obliterating the traces of care. A French wit observed that he made it a rule never to go late to a friend's dinner, the interval on stielt occasion bring generally employed in 'dissecting the absen tees. The same objection applies to going away hest.

Should the States-General side, as expected, with the Ktxtes party, there will certainly be a breeze here. The Members likely to defend the interests of Belgium are reckoned in a considerable minority, whether proceeding from their being overawed, or from the influence of the Court in the elections. Nothing less than a separate Administration, at least, will be listened to by the Belgians. It is generally believed that a Congress will be held at either Cologne or Aiz-la-Chapelle, as being centrical towns, before the winter, to take the late changes into con.ideration.

MR. HUSKISSON. The late Mr. Huskisson's introduction into public life has not, we are informed by a correspondent, been quite accurately stated. It is true that he was intended for the surgical profession, that be went to Paris for the purpose of medical study, and that being there, a young man, at the breaking out of the Revolution, he partook of the fer vour of the day, and wee, it is said, actually II member of the then Jacobin Club, but without being much bitten by the revolutionary mania, as the subsequent event proves. At this period the then Ambassador to France, Earl Gower, was in want of a clever young mar to assist in his Secretary's department, and the young surgical pupil, Mr. Huskisson, was recommended to him for the purpose, which the latter readily assented to. This was about the close of 1799. In January, 1793, the Francis King, Louis XVI., was beheaded, an event which led to the recal of the Ambassador, who, with his suite, including Mr. Huskisson, returned to England. Thus situated, Lord Gower felt himself in duty bound to provide as far as possible for persons thus thrown unexpectedly out of em ployment ; and Mr. Maims* having shown a peculiar aptitude for business, was placed as a supernumerary clerk in the Treasury, under Sir Evan Nepean, from whence he rose, as has been stated, to the various official situations he subsequently lived to H.—Morning Herald. LATE RIGHT WON. WM. HUSKISSON, (From the Morning Chronicle.) LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY NIGHT. It is a curious circumstance that though there were per haps as many as thirty or forty eye-witnesses of the dread • ful accident by which Mr. Huskisson lost him life, there are not any two that exactly agree in all the particulars--- a sure sign that the unfortunate gentleman was not the only person ih a state of nervous agitation at that moment. As far as I have been able to compare one account with another, I am induced to believe that the one which I have sent you is essentially correct in all its facts; but as I have just heard a description of the scene, as given by Mr. Holmes, M.P., to a friend, I give a sketch of it, in order that the public may be informed of all the variations that are extant On the stoppage of the Northumbrian at Park-aide Bridge, Mr. Huskiason, as well as many others, got out, and Mr. Holmes accompanied him, for the purpose of bringing him anti the Duke together, in the hope of pro ducing a renewed good feeling between them. With this object in view, he led Mr. Huskisaon round to that part of the car where the Duke was stationed, who, perceiving the advance of - the Right Hon. Gentleman, immediately held out his hand to him, which was shaken in a very cordial manner. It was almost at this moment that the Rocket was first perceived on the advance, and a general move took place to get out of its way, and several persons called out " Get in ! get iu !" Some f.►flowed this advice, scrambling up as they best might in the absence of the steps— others made their way round the end of the car, and Mr. Huskisson appeared to be acting under the idea of crossing the Rocket's railway before the engine came up; front this, however, he was deterred from the unpromising aspeet of the bank beyond. Mr. Holmes, who was acceding in just the som- situa►ion as the Right lion. Gentleman, took his resolution on the instant, and drew himself up as closely as he could against the side of the Royal car : the intervening space between the Railways is exactly four feet, but as the Royal car overhung it about two feet, and the Rocket en gine about six inches, there was only a clear space of eighteen inches lett—sufficient, however, as illustrated by Mr. Holmes's position, for a person to stand without in jury or damage. Mr. Holmes, while affixing himself in this manner to the Royal car, had time to perceive the irresolution of the Right Honourable Gentleman, and he called out to him, " For God's sake, be firm, Mr. Hus kisson." In this gentleman's opinion the mischief was occasioned by the deceased trusting to the door of the Royal Car, of which lie grasped hold the moment before the Rocket passed; this door standing open, projected so far over the neighbouring railway, that its being struck by the Rocket was inevitable; the consequence was, that it swung rapidly round, overbalanced the unfortunate gen tleman, and caused him to fall on the railway of the Rocket, when his limb instantly came in contact with the wheel of the engine, and was crushed. The funeral of Mr. Husxtssox is fixed for Friday next. Letters of invitation to attend the ceremony 'Live been forwarded this morning to the Right Mu. Oentletuares personal and poliiical friends.
