That in 1840 Mr. bs agair, brought his scheme before the Parliamentary Commis. slot tens, and it is detailed by them in their report of 1841.

I Jett son, ALP , who suggested several alterations, and Mr. Francis Up' watt, the Vice-Chairman, and arrangements were made for per fee .ing the plan by levels and surveys, which were completed in the me 'nth of March following, and on the 16th of April the project vr as announced by advertisement in the Times, under the name of ti se " Great Northern Railway," before any advertisement of Eir . John Rennie had appeared : and the Committee of Direction die. tinctly affirm that this course over the first seventy miles from London was adopted on actual surveys made by Mr. Gibbs, and not suggested to them by any other parties; and they beg further to observe, it is only now within these few days, that after the Lon don and York Company has been before the public for a period of five months, after its whole capital of five millions has been sub. scribed, ana its shares has attained a high premium its the market, that Sir John Rennie and Company have conic forward with what is intended to be a counter project, and with the mis-statements here siisposed of'.

FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, Ocr. 5.—A letter from Verviers, of the 20th of September, published in the Universal German Gazette, has the following account of the attempted suicide of the celebrated Polish General, Uminski All the inhabitants of the town are afflicted by the misfortune which has befallen General Uminski, who is so well known for the part which he acted in the Polish revolution. The General resided at Spa, at which place the Cotnmissary of Police caused him to be arrested, and conducted on foot, and under escort, to the prison at Verviers, for a trifling debt contracted at Brussels. General Liminski, who is seventy yearn of age, could not endure to live after this disgrace. He first attempted to hang himself with his cravat, but was cut down by the keeper ; he then opened a vein in both arms, and though he has rec e i ve d a ll pofts i ble assistance he i n not yet out of danger. Whil e t h e old General is on the point of expiring on a b e d o f straw, and in prison, his daughter and his son-in-late are living in opulence, and all his former friend s h ave a b andoned him. The rale .of the British Queen has not been con firmed by the Government, as we said would probably be the case. The stun Of 170,Gdd fraticsi f , , - 1 4 which it was knocked down to M.

The notion that the Bank are endeavouring to check specu lation in railways, or in anything else, can scarcely be correct, nnw the present „charter has entirely deprived them of their character of nianag6rA of the e! , ,rrency, and left them, as far as the employment of their ineang Is concerned, only in the condition of private bankers.

The number of shows and gambling-tables, from the highest to the lowest description, were ont of number ; the latter of which seemed to have had their share of gain from the weak and unguarded. And, according to a very long-standing custom, this celebrated fair has not lost its character by the annual visit of the light-fingered gentry who were in attendance to a very great extent ; and their harvest, though not so abundant as in former seasons, was extensive, and would have been more so, but for the vigilance of the police. The statute fair, or mop, was held on Monday, and never was it more fully attended, from the highest situation in agricultural pur suits, to the cart and plough-boy ; but hiring, on the whole, was remarkably flat, and good and tried servants retained their situations. Several trains arrived from Bristol and Birmingham, so that the streets of the old city was one animated scone.—Cheltenham Examiner. Distance saved. Few sovereigns of any age, and none in modern times, have passed through greater vicissitudes of fortune than the present King of the French. Adversity is said to be in most cases a good teacher, though its lessons have frequently been thrown away upon pupils of regal birth. In the instance before us, however, it is hardly to be doubted that, if the success with which Louis Philippe has wielded the sceptre may in great part be attributed to his own prudence and sagacity, it may also, in some measure, have resulted from the "sweet uses" of that severe school of human discipline in which his early years were passed. The volume of the "Life and Times of Louis Philippe, King of the French," which the Rev. G. N. Wright published a few years back, and to which he has recently made an addition, including an account of the visit of Queen Victoria to his Majesty, will furnish us with ma terials for a brief sketch of most of the remarkable pas sages in the history of thi s monarc h . Louis Philippe, it is well known, was the son of the notorious Duke of Orleans, or Citizen Egalite, asso ciated with our worst recollections of the Reign of Terror in the worst part of the French Revolution. Louis Philippe, Duke de Valois, was born in 1773. His father was then Duke de Chartres (the Duke of Orleans being alive), and his mother was " the amiable, popular, and wealthy " heiress of the Duke of Pentbievre. This lady separated from her husband not only on account of his political proceedings, but owing to the influence which he had suffered the celebrated Madame de Genlis to exercise over his own mind and that of his children, and which he avowed was in order to supersede the na tural rights of the mother. His address to the Conven tion, in 1792, states one of his reasons for sending his daughter to England with Madame de Genlis to be a desire " to withdraw her from the influence of a woman," as he terms the Duchess, " who is undoubtedly very es timable, but whose opinions upon the present affairs are not in accordance with my own." The Duke de Valois (Louis Philippe) was the eldest of three sons. In his eighth year his father consulted Madame de Genlis upon the choice of a fit tutor for him, and that lady has re lated the conversation which passed between them upon this important subject. " One evening that the Duke of Chartres came, as he generally did, to Bell Chasse, between eight and nine o'clock, finding me alone, he told me that there was no time to lose in procuring a tutor for his sons, for that otherwise his children would have the manners of shop men. He consulted me on the selection of one. I pro posed Schomberg, whom he refused to accept, alleging that he would render the children pedantic. I then named the Chevalier de Durfort, who he said would give them a tone of bombast. I then spoke of Thiars, but he objected to him as being too careless ; and said that lie would pay no attention at all to the children. I then began to laugh, and said, Well, what do you think of me ?" Why not ?' replied he. seriously. I protested that what I h a d said was in jest, and that in all our previous conversations nothing had occurred that could have led me to expect so singular a determination. But the air and;manner of the Duke impressed me deeply with the thought of doing something at once glorious to myself, and unprecedented in the history of education, and I earnestly hoped that the plan might be accom plished. I told the Duke frankly my thoughts on the subject ; ho a pp eare d d el i ghted, and said, The thing is decided —you must be their tntor.'" The Chevalier de Bonnard (who had been recommen ded to the Duke by M. de Buffon) and the Abbe Guyot were to be sub-tutors, but Madame de Genlis was to be absolute directress of the education of the princes, for which she demanded no remuneration, being content with the honour of having educated them gra tuitously. Bonnard, however, thought the post humi liating, and resigned it to 11. Le Brun. The Court ri diculed this system of education, and declared that it was a reflection upon the noblesse, but the " event," Mr. Wright remarks, "has fully justified the choice of the Duke, and the throne of France is now a beautiful monument to the memory of Madame de Geniis." Young Louis Philippe, it is said, with a robust frame and lively disposition, was fonder of amusement than study, and yawned over history even when read to him by a Madame de Genlis. Judicious severity cured these anti-studious habits, and his indefatigable instructress succeeded in bringing out and developing " the noble mental qualities which revealed themselves in the boy Valois." The princes were taught not merely the higher branches of literature and science, but various domestic arts and manufactures, such as turning, basket-making, weaving, &c. The Duke de Valois is said to have excelled his brothers in cabinet-making, an art, which, it is jocosely said, he has since turned to good account. Under such a tutor as Madame de Genlis, and at such an era, it is not to be wondered at that the young Prince should have manifested an ardent love of liberty, and a thirst for military glory. His wealth, whilst he pos sessed any, was devoted to benevolent objects ; and Ma dame de Geniis has preserved a letter from the Duke, when about 15, declaring his intention to save a fund out of his pocket-money for charitable purposes. His gouvernante has entered the following character of her pupil at this time : The Duke of Chartres has greatly improved in dis position during the last year ; he was born with good inclinations : he is now become intelligent and virtuous. lle has none of the frivolity of his age ; he sincerely disdains the puerilities which occupy the pursuits of so many young men—such as fashions, dress, trinkets, trifles of all kinds, the rage for following novelties. He has no passion for money; he is disinterested ; despises glare, and is, consequently, truly noble : lastly, :he has an excellent heart, which is common to his brothers and sister, and which, joined to reflection, is capable of pro ducing all other good qualities." Unhappily as the Duke grew up to manhood, he was initiated into the mysteries of the worst political schools of the Revolution. In 1790 he was introduced by his father into the Jacobin Club—Madame de Geniis says, in direct opposition to her wishes, when that club was at the aenith of its power and infamy:— "It does not appear," Mr. Wright says, " that the young Duke exhibited any sympathy with his brother Jacobins, although he very warmly and decidedly ad mired and applauded the liberal sentiments of many eloquent members of the National Assembly: he fre quently attended the sittings of the latter, but it is not plain that lie entitled himself to the least share of Ja cobin reputation, whatever value posterity may attach to it: Nevertheless he *as Inoculated with much of the re volutionary spirit, for when, in 1791. he appeared in the uniform of the National Guard to have his name filtered upon the register, perceiving that all his titles had been written, he erased them with his own hand. and wrote after his name, " Citizen of Paris." As colonel of a regiment of dragoons, he joined the army at Vendome, and when the decree for the suppression of all emblems of nobility was received there, he declared to his regiment that " he was too much the friend of equality, not to hate received it with transport." At Vendome he rescued, at the hazard of his life, two non juring priests, who had insulted a constitutional clergy man. This incident is the subject of a painting in the Palais Royal. Upon another occasion he saved an engi neer from drowning, by jumping into a deep and dan gerous river. The first campaign of the young " citizen" was under Dumouriez, in the war between France and Austria, in 1792. He had been appointed Commandant at Stras burg, but he said, " I am t oo y oung t o b e s h u t u p i n a citadel, tttd I request permission to remain on active service." He was present at the " Cannonade of Valmy," as it is called ; and General Kellerman, in his official dispatch, particularly notices, amongst those who had shown distinguished courage, "M. Chartres and his aide-d~-!-*smp, M. Montpensier "—the Duke do Montpensier, the younger brother of Louis Philippe. He was soon after transferred to Dumouriez's army on the frontier, where the Duke de Chartres, then only nineteen, gathered his first military laurels at the battle Of C4t_fmappes< The Austrian army consisted of 22,000 veteran troopS tinder Marshal Clairfait ; that of Du mouriez, consisting mostly of raw levies, was about 27,000. The Duke was entrusted with the command of the right wing, the army being equally divided into two wings. On the 6th of November, 1792, the French aririj , attacked the formidable position of the Aus trians. The right wing, becoming the centre, was se parated by the Duke into columns of battalions, and moved on the wood of Flenu, covering the Austrian centre. Placing six battalions in reserve, with the eighteen others he drove in the enemy's light infantry, traversed the wood, and arrived on the level ground above it ; but the Austrian infantry, supported by the artillery, made such havoc amongst the heads of the columns, that they could not debouche, and re-entered the wood in disorder. Mr. Wright, in describing the battle, says : " The Duke de Chartres-saved the.artey front a great disaster, by forming a chain of mounted. chaeseurs in front of the wood, to arrest the fugit,ives..; Finding it im possible to re-establish.order,in-many. or the battalions, which were all now niiiced together" ;he formed one great column of the whole, which; he named the Bataillon de Mons, placed the fik ,stands of colours in the midst of it, caused the trumpeters. to sound a charge, and with the same soldiers, whose flight a few moments before could not • be checked, attacked the Austrian infantry that occupied the intervals between theredoubts,penetrated their ranks with the bayonet, and got possession of the enemy's artillery, which the Austrian cavalry in rain endeavoered to carry back to lons. From this moment victory was no longer 'doubtfui ra , f l r k o s. digies of valour were 'mu/tiplied in' h Frenc h The enthusiasmeovfenthbeyFrothnechmsoelnyethis.eloeseercweahmeorne; easnndetvheer been exceeded, in such martial spirit which displayed . itselfAs they followed the bril liancy bore down all ohs brave young soldier to the successiee.attacks og the re doubts, they rent the air with shouts, which uniformly p a ssed into a grand . chanting of the Marseillaise Hymn.'

Returning to Sweden, he revisited Denmark, and reached Hamburg() again in 1796. These countries he had not merely seen, but minutely examined, his finances not permitting him to travel in any other manner than that which alone brings a visitor into intimate communication with the people of the country. At Hamburgh the French Directory commenced a negotiation with the illustrious exile, in consequence of which the Duke (then of Orleans) consented to proceed to the United States, and in September, 1796, he em barked on board an American trader, and arrived at Philadelphia in October. He was soon after joined by his two brothers, the Duke de Montpensier and the Count Beaujolais. Philadelphia was then the seat of the Federal Govern ment, of which Washington was the head. The Duke contracted an acquaintance with the illustrious chief citizen of the United States, of whom he subsequently drew a most accurate character. Whilst a resident in America, the Duke moved about the country, aequaint ing himself critically with its character, and that of the people. As he spoke fluently the German and lilinglish languages, there was no impediment to leis intercourse _. with all classes. . Once, in his travels, he acted as surgeon to an Indian chief, whom he bled in his wigwam with such as cress, that the tribe bestowed a high, though not very coeta, ble honour, upon the white stranger. "It was customary in this tribe, that the whole family, however illustrious, should sleep upon cree spa cious mat, the relations being all ranged according to proximity, rank, age, and other discriminating circum stances. In acknowledgment of the services rendered by the Duke to the grandfather of the chief's family,. lie was permitted to pass the night upon the family mat be tween the grandmother and grand aunt, the highest ho nour ever conferred by that tribe upon an individual of any age or colour." The incidents of the residence and travels of the illus trious exiles in America would alone fill a little volume. From the United States the Royal exiles were con veyed in a British frigate to the Ilavannah, where they were well received; but the Court of Madrid ordered the Captain-General of Cuba to send them away. Exasperated at the persecution of the Court of Spain, they turned their eyes to England, where they deter• mined to seek an asylum. Proceeding to the Bahamas, they passed over to Halifax, where the Duke of Kent (the father of Queen Victoria) received them in the kindest manner. His Royal Highness, however, did not feel authorised to grant the Princes a free passage in an English vessel of war; and they proceeded to tengland by the ordinary conveyance. They arrived at Falmouth in February, 1800, and having received permission from the King, George 111, thee proceeded immediately to London, and took up their residence at Twickenham. By placing himself in the centre of a large aristocratical society, the Duke vo luntarily exposed his manner of life and his associates to observation, which removed all suspicion as to Iris mo tives and desi g ns, and his character daily augmented the number of his friends. Very-soon after, a reconciliation took place between the Orleans Princes and Louis XVIII. They were now admitted to the British Coure. and the three Princes of Orleans became the lions of the fashionable society of the metropolis, till the Duke proceeded, with the permission of our Government, to Minorca, with the view of visiting the Court of Spain ; :but such was the jealousy of the Spanish Government towards this family, that he veas obliged to return to .Twickenham, where he lived as a private gentleman, not in seclusion or even retirement— for he mixed in society—but without any appearance of the eclat of a public character. His pursuits were of a lite rary and scientific kind ; he stadied political economy, and the history, laws, and constitution of England. The death of his two brothers took place a few years after their arrival in England, and on the last of the two events grief drove Louis Philippe abroad for a change of scene. He proceeded to Sicily, and here he engaged the affections of the Princess Amelia, the second daughter of the King, and it would appear that the Queen Of Naples made her consent to the marriage of her daughter to the Duke conditional upon the latter taking part in the wild expedition which was to make her second son, Leopold, Regent of Spain. The Duke of Orleans entered upon this project, and conducted himself in it with as much prudence and discretion as could be ex pected in such an enterprise. As he had Lord Coiling wood for a coadjutor, this " strange adventure," as Mr. Wright terms it, though it failed, had a more wise and honourable termination than the Sicilian politicians would have given to it, had its management been left to them alone. It did, indeed, no service to the cha racter of the Duke of Orleans in the estimation of the French people ; but the presence of the Duke on the coast of Spain seems to have sug gested to some of the patriotic party in that coun try that it would be beneficial to the cause if the Prince should place himself at their head, he being the only member of the Bourbon family who enjoyed a military reputation. The Duke of Orleans was appointed by the Central ,lunta to the command of a corps in Catalonia ; but all the proceedings of the patriot leaders were so wild and extravagant, that this project came to nothing. The disappointment of the Queen of Naples in her Spanish project provoked her to throw impediments in the way of the marriage between her daughter and the Duke of Orleans, who, however, proceeded to Palerene in order to face his calumniators, and this bold step dissipated the fresh cloud which seemed about to gather over his fortunes. On the 25th of November, 1809, his Royal Highness was united to the Princess, in the pre. eence of his venerated mother, who came to Palermo ex pressly on the occasion. "If ever a marriage contract was formed, between individuals of such exalted rank without the least admixture of ambition or interest," ob serves Mr. Wright, " it was that of the Princess Amelia with the wandering Duke of Orleans." bride, In the following May the Duke, leaving Ir is with landed in Spain, upon the invitation of the Regency, condition e e t the view of aiding the patriot cause ; but theonly were his of the Government was such, that, note himhimto quit the services declined, but the Cortes ordered rder hours. The Cortes Spanish territory within twenty-four refused to withdraw their decre e eve n after a personal where, with his chit address from the Duke at their bar, to be beard. He accordingly_ returned racteristic spirit and decision, hodemanded Palermo, where he remained till the fall of Napoleon in 1814. This event was known ~ t o at Palermo on the ) f April, and on the 18th of la.e' -3d o the Duke was inParis, which he had not seen for m ore than twenty years : " The Duke's first care; on his return to Paris, was to pay a stolen visit to the home of his fathers. The porters, who still continued to wear the Imperial livery, were with difficulty induced to permit a stranger, and clad also in the costume of Sicily, to penetrate the in nermost apartments of the palace ; but the earnestness with which he pursued his survey left them little leisure to question him as to his object. As he approached the grand staircase, the recollections of his boyhood, the lustre of his ancient race, the agonies of mind he had endured since he last beheld that spot, and gratitude to bat Providence which had spared him amidst such VISIT OF THE KING OF TBE , FRENCH TO HER MAJIiSTY.
