HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY. Morning ... 52 minutes after 111 Evening ... 0 minutes after 0 fafftitillff °P4M4 LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1844. The spirit which prevails in the Opposition journals of France at the present moment create alarm and horror throughout the continent of Europe. No event of a peaceful character pleases the writers in these mischievous publications. They have little regard for the interests of the human race; they set, at defiance even the welfare, the happiness, and the security of their own countrymen. While under the reign of Louis PHILIPPE, France has increased in power more than she did at any former period of the same extent, while her commerce is more than three times greater than it was under NAPOLEON, and the best of the population, who in the days of glory were marched off as prisoners to kill Germans and Russiaris, are now employed in the arts of peace, the madmen who conduct the Republican and Carlist press would return to the old system of revolution and conquest, and throw the world into commotion, with the vain hope of destroying the ORLEANS dynasty, and taking vengeance on the Eng lish. Everything English annoys this wild party — English horses, English dogs, Englishmen, and Eng lishwomen, nay, the Sovereign of ENGLAND, are their abomination. They are like men without reason, and would rush to destruction blindfold. The friendly visit of their SOVEREIGN to the Court at Windsor Castle excites the most bitter and savage exclamations. Now, we ask them, presuming they are honest men and gallant Frenchmen, " Could LOUIS PHILIPPE have done less ? " The Queen of ENGLAND, disre garding all the usual etiquette of crowned heads, threw herself into the arms of France. She paid the highest compliment to the nation, trusting, of course, to their well-known honour and gallantry, landed on their shores without protection, and was received by all classes with the most unbounded enthusiasm. Would M. TRIERS wish his c oun t ry, so ce l e b rate d throughout Europe for c i vilisation, and, above all, for the highest degree of politeness, refus e to return the compliment to a young female,. and deg ra d e " Y oung F rance " by an absolute act or rudeness ? Would he make his SOVE RRIGN a prisoner—a prisoner, too, in a country which M. TRIERS regards as a l an d of liberty and a model for all nations—would he prevent his SOVEREIGN from maintaining the old, the hospitable, and polite character of the people, and comp e l hi m to forego his own ardent wish to maintain the chivalry of France? Is the bloody spirit of the Revolution returned ? Are all the common decencies of life, all the proud acquirements of civilised society, all the experience )btaineci by long, and fatal, and horrible wars, to be i cast to the winds for the purpose of keeping up eternal hostility to a near neighbour I' Such is the doctrine of this sage legislator and his colleagues. Would it not be well, however, for these warlike men to ask then.iselves seriously what they expect to gain by inciting; France against England ? Can they de stroy our commerce or our colonies—can they destroy the Englii;h navy or capture the island ? Can they invade Ittndostan or blockade the Indus—have they the slighl.est chance of coming off better now than when NeroLLoN was Emperor ? But we fear it is needless to ask them questions, or reason with them. Their great object is war ut any price, and if by the mysterious decrees of PRO vIDENcE their wishes were granted, France would be reduced to the same condition in which it was in 1815, and every nation in Europe would probably be an equal sufferer. In is the duty, therefore, of all mankind to hold up these firebrands as the greatest ob stacles to civilisation and public liberty, to put them out of the pale of society, and denounce them as the enemies of the human race. Louis PHILIPPE knows them well. He has set them at defiance. Notwith standing their malicious remonstrances, he has fol lowed out the bent of his own inclination ; fulfilled the wishes of the great body of the French people ; crossed the Channel for the first time a French Sove reig❑ ever crossed it in peace ; has been welcomed at Portsmouth, and every place on his passage, with the most enthusiastic acclamations; and is now enjoying at Windsor the hospitality from a nation which M. THIERS and his clique still regard as the natural enemy of France. The Irish journals are still full, as might be ex pected, of the subject of. Repeal, and some even of those which advocate Tory, or rather Ministerial opinions, candidly e.cknowledge the rapid progress which the question. has recently made among men of all parties. Mar'A the significant language of the Drogheda Conservative !—" In proportion as the Pro testants become divided and disgusted with English ingratitude, the cause of Repeal advances with giant strides. For we must not in candour pass over the marry respectable Protestants who have lately joined the Association, nor overlook the number who are Repealere in their hearts, and who are only restrained from the avowal by fear of the contempt of their party. Every man of judgment must be aware that a change of things is inevitable ; we cann,r4 return to the policy of former years, neither can we remain stationary, for the people are endowe.d with a power which they seem determined to use to the utmost. A change, then, being inevitabix, it becomes the bounden duty of all to consider ho w such can be brought about with the least possible injury. Repeal would create Romish ascendancy—Federalism lead to dissension, and ulti mately to Repeal—therefore the assembly of the Bri tish Parliament in Ireland every three years is the safest and surest remedy for the evils with which we are threatened." The language of the above passage is of snore than ordinary import, when we consider the quarter whence it emanates. Conceive a "Tory journal —and Toryism is nowhere so obstinate, bigoted, and immitigable as in Ireland—deliberately con fessing that the policy of former years can no longer be maintained, and that a change is inevitable ! Why, this is virtually surrendering the first great principle of Irish Toryism —an abhorrence of innovation ! It is not only giving up the outer line of ramparts, but the very citadel itself into the hands of the enemy ! If change be " inevitable," away goes the long-cherished Tory theory of political immutability, and the entire fabric falls with a stunning crash to the ground. But ten—nay, but five short years ago—who would have believed that a journal like the Drogheda Conserva tive would have openly acknowledged the defeat of it, party, and that the policy which it had pursued with inflexible consistency for the best part of half a cen tury, could no longer be persisted in ? Having once been brought to confess their humiliation and admit the sad necessity of change, the Irish Tories will henceforth be far from stiff or unyielding in their convictions; and we should not be at all surprised, were they—under the combined influence of disgust and despair—to become just as zealous innovators as they once were the reverse. Ce n'est que le premier pas qui coute. It is the first step only that is the great difficulty. When once that has been taken, and the deep-rooted prejudice's of years surrendered, a rapid progress fol lows almost as a matter of course. CESAR never halted after he had passed the Rubicon. It was on its banks he paused, hesitating whether or not to cross it. In admitting that change is inevitable, the Tories have already crossed the Rubicon, and as to go back is impossible, and to halt where they now are, is only to cover themselves with ridicule, and exhibit their weakness in the most pitiable light, who can doubt that they will press fiercely onward ? We quite agree with our Drogheda Contemporary that " Fede ralism would lead ultimately to Repeal"—and will even go further, and state our firm conviction, that Repeal would not merely be the ultimate, but that it would be the immediate consequence of such a tame, shilly-shally, inefficient measure. A Federal Parlia ment would not have been three months in existence, before the excited masses of the Irish population, finding that it could do little or nothing, where in the wildness of their hopes they had expected it would do everything, would regard it with feelings of the most sovereign contempt, and clamour more vehemently than ever for a Repeal of the Union—that is to say, for a dismemberment of the empire, for the two things are synonimous. As respects the project of a triennial Parliament in Dublin, of which the Drogheda Conservative approves, our objection to this scheme is not so much that it is dangerous, as that it is impractable. The Court—the Law—the Aris tocracy—and all that vast body of traders who live by ministering to the fashionable tastes of the day—all these must of necessity follow in the train of the Parliament ; and once in every three years, London must consent to become a second-rate metropolis, and see her su premacy transferred to Dublin. But the inconveni ence of the project would not stop here. As a matter of course, Scotland would insist—why should she not ?—on a Parliament being held every three years in Edinburgh ; and seeing how successful agitation had been in Ireland, she would begin to play the same game• on her own account, and thus we should have the national jealousies which have been laid aside for years revived with all their ancient acrimony. The Madrid Gazette, of the 30th ult., announces an interview on the 23d between the QUEEN and a deputation from the province of Guipuzcoa. Don PEDRO DR ARANA thus addressed her MAJESTY : " Madam,—Circumstances, independent of my will, have hitherto prevented my expressing to you the feel ings of respect and profound gratitude which the foral deputation of your very faithful province of Guipuzcoa, re-established by your royal decree of the 4th of July last, commissioned me, on the 26th of the same month, to convey to your Majesty. This deputation, Madam, is the same that governed the country in the fatal month of October, 1841. Faithful to your Majesty and to your august mother, it nobly fell with the generous men who, at that memorable and unfortunate period attempted, more bravely than successfully, to save the precious object which the nation later reconquered. With that deputation also fell the ancient and liberal institutions of the Basque provinces —patterns of the wisdom of past times, and monuments of government and administra tion which might afford instruction to modern times. On commencing the work of restoration, your Majesty has given us to understand that, as a just and religious Sovereign, you respect tho sanction of the legislative power, and that your noble heart will not forget the sacrifices made in your cause and that of the country. We therefore beg your Majesty to accept our sincerest thanks for this act of justice—the prelude, no doubt, to other acts more important still. May your Majesty be assured that„ the foral deputation of Guipuzcoa will never forget such a blessing." The QuiszN replied— "It is extremely agreeable to me to hear from thy mouth the homage done me by the foral deputation of our most faithful provinces of Guipuzcoa. I am Rot ignorant of the exalted deeds whereby they have ac quired claims to my gratitude in times unfortunate to the monarchy, and the share they had in those ever memorable events. I thank you for your loyalty, which has never belied itself. I hope I shall be able to acknow ledge it by labouring for your happiness." It was generally believed that the Marquis DB MIRATLORES would be President of the Senate. Madrid Bourse on the 30th.—Three per Cents., for cash, 27 15-16; for account, 28 ; Five per Cents., for cash, 20i- ; for account, 21. The King of the FREIS'II ) on his arrival at the Chateau d'Eu, granted an amnesty to fifty State pri- soners, confined chiefly for political offences. The fact is thus announced in th, Journal des Debats " The KING, :n corarneqnoration of the late ev en t s i n Morocco, has just signed at the Chateau d'Eu an ordonnance, granting full and entire pardon to fifty political prisoners. The royal clemency is extended to two classes—first, to all the individuals whose term of imprisonment would expire in the year 1847, or before that period ; and, second, to a certain number of individuals condemned to punishments much lon ger, some of them extending to twenty years, and even to transportation." Neither this, however, nor any act of grace on the part of his MAJESTY, will re concile the Opposition press to Louis PHILIPPE, or make them pardon him for daring to cross the Chan nel and visit the young Queen of ENGLAND. M. TRIERS'S journal is more furious than ever on the subject. If the two countries were on the eve of a bloody war, more exciting language could not be used ' for stirring up the worst passions of the human breast. " The voyage of the KING to England," says the Constitutionnel, " undertaken at the present moment, ! has not the character of a simple exchange of politeness with the Queen of ENGLAND ; and whatever care may be taken to give to this visit an air of being purely personal, public opinion in both countries will, with reason, see in it an act of a political character. What can the KING do in England at such a moment ? At a time when, at the instigation of the English, brave Frenchmen are having their throats cut without benefit to their country ? How could the Ministry have advised such a deplorable voyage ? Why have they not rather laid hold of every plausible excuse to postpone it ? If they had been a little more jealous of the honour of France; if the Government had a just sentiment of what becomes her dignity, would they have gone to solicit in England an ap pearance of a good understanding, which no longer exists ? When they shall have received some praises in the English journals, some applause from the Eng lish public, some skilful flatteries from the Court of England, they will return to France, mystified and content. Our Ministerial journals will bo charged to extol English hospitality, and to congratulate the two countries on their union, and fresh sacrifices will be made at Otaheite or elsewhere. Paltry vanity, and profound weakness—a search after trifling suc cesses, and indifference to the true glory of the coun try, are the true character of our Government. It abandons the honour and the interests of the country to gratify itself with the insignificant ovations pre pared for it by our neighbours ; it has created a Duke dom of Isly, and at the same time abandons the fruits of the victory. The Government desire to revive the entente cordiale, and the English alliance is spoken of! The state of public feeling in France cannot be known to them. Let them go through the provinces and interrogate, not our Opposition men, but those who from calculation or from indifference give their votes to Ministerial Deputies, and they will every where find a feeling of discontent and irritation against the English Government. Nothing can be less popular than this entente cordiale, which has pro duced for us nothing but embarrassment, humiliations, and the disavowal of the acts of our brave officers: After other similar phrases the article thus con. eludes : " The entente cordiale is then, as it is understood, a vain word, and has never produced but sacrifices on one side or other for small objects. The English Ministers have created embarrassments for themselves, the French Ministers have accept. d humiliation, the two nations are discontented in different degrees. It was a forced mar riage. and is always on the _point of being dis so l ve d f or incompatibility of temper. What then is the King to do in England ? To renew false appearances ? To simu late an alliance which our Ministers did not choose to accept when it would have been glorious and profitable to us, and of which they do not appear to be jealous but when it humbles us ? to accept the plaudits of England at the moment when the subjects of England are killing the French at Otaheite ? The Ministry which recom mended this journey has seldom given the King advice more improper or impolitic. Does M. Guizot think that the Administration can never be sufficiently unpopular ?" The Journal du Havre exhibits the same hostile spirit : " We are assured by a person connected with the Chancery of the Legion of Honour, that the Grand Cor. don of the Order founded by Napoleon, is to be conferred by the King in person, before he quits Windsor, upon the principal Ministers of Victoria ; among others Robert Peel and Aberdetn. This will be in the way of return fur the Garter, which is to be conferred on the King. This resolution, which has been adopted in a high quarter, has excited a clamour even among those who are accustomed to what is passing. They asked whether the prejudices of the people would not be roused on bearing of such a piece of news ? M. Guizot replied that he answered for everything, and that before the country and Chambers, one must savoir tout oser." The Semaphore de Marseilles of the 3d instant, states that the Duke D'AustAs.s arrived at Bona on the 18th of September, on his way to France. The Prince was met by the Mayor of the town, and in re ply to an address said— " I am very grateful to you for the flattering senti ments you express towards me and my family. The King has long demonstrated the lively interest he takes in the future welfare of Algeria ' • he proved it by actions as well as words, and w ill b e happy to hear that his intentions are so well appreciated. Called by his will to the command of this noble province, I have en deavoured to study all its wants. Those of the district and town of Bona are well known to me, and you may rest persuaded that your interests will not have a more zealous udvocate than me." The Moniteur contains a long list of promotions and decorations bestowed on several of the officers engaged in the battle of Isly.

A very general and painful degree of interest was manifested amongst all classes, when it became known that her illness had assumed a dangerous charactt , r. This evening, at twenty minutes before four o'clock, her Excellency breathed her last at the Vice-regal Lodge, in the Phoenix Park, in the presence of his Excellency Lord Heytesbury, his brother the Hon. E. H. A'Court, M.P. for Tamworth ; her Excellency's son, the Hon. W. A'Court Holmes, M.P. for the Isle of Wight ; the Hon. Miss A'Court, daughter, and Mrs. Pennett, sister to the late Baroness. Her Excellency had arrived but a short time in Ireland when she was attacked by the fatal illness, gastric fever, under the effects of which she so long and painfully lingered. She was assiduously attended during her illness by Sir Henry H. Marsh, Bart., Dr. J. Graves, the phy sician in ordinary to the household, and Dr. George Hatchell. The gloom that this deeply lamented event will cast upon the city, and indeed the country at large, can scarcely be appreciated. It was arranged that the Court would have been upheld upon the most suitable scale of splendour had her Excellency been spared to carry out their intentions. PUSETISM AT A. DISCOUNT.—A convocation was held in the University of Oxford yesterday, for the election of Vice-Chancellor, when Dr. Symons was elected by a majority of 699---the numbers being, for Dr. Symons 882, and against him 183. The Rev. Gentleman is opposed to the Puseyite doctrines, and we therefore rejoice in his election. Her Majesty has commanded new school-rooms to be built at Cumberland Lodge, which are expected to be completed by Christmas, with separate buildings for the master and mistress. The site of the building is a short distance frora Cumberland Lodge. THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE.—The past week has been the most brilliant one on record for the open ing of this theatre, attributable to the fashionable repute in which the theatre itself is held, and likewise to the great impression created by the performance of Made moiselle Adile Dumilatre in Albert's grand ballet of 71z. Corsair. This danseuse has made such a sensation in the character of Gulnare, and has brought such enor mous half-prices by her personation of it, that we under stand this ballet will be played every remaining night of her engagement. THE MARQUIS OF DONEGAL.—We regret to state that most unfavourable accounts have been received in regard to the above Nobleman, who, during last week, rallied a little, but has since suffered a relapse, which leaves scarcely any hopes of his recovery. Sir Henry Pottinger is returning to England in the Great Liverpool steamer, and may be expected at the Motherbank on Tuesday next.— Hampshire Tele graph. The celebrated Slate Quarry in Carnarvonshire, announced for public competition by Mr. George Robins next week, it is determined by the Board of Directors to sell without the smallest protecting price. The quality of this slate, it is rumoured, far exceeds that of any of its rival contemporaries, and this sale will afford an opportunity to realise a for tune at a railway pace. The plentiful state of the money market surely must tempt all those who would get rich quickly to attend this sale. SAVINGS' BANKS.—By the Returns now called for from trustees and managers of Savings' Banks, and which are to be laid before Parliament, it is evident there is an intention for excluding improper persons depositing in those institutions. The laudable obj,et of these most useful institutions was for the wcrlting-classes, and per sons in plain situations in life. The annual and gross amounts to be invested, too, it is evident aro to be re dUcesd, awl Choy will admit of it. DEPARTURE OF TIIE KING OF THE FRENCH FROM EU FOR ENGLAND. (From th• Times.) EU (NORMANDY), OCT. 7, 1844, The embarkation of the King is fixed for this even ing, at half. past six. There being a somewhat ad verse wind, the flotilla will not, it is believed, reach Portsmouth in less than ten hours. Even so you will receive an account of his Majesty landing in England very soon after the announcement of his departure from France. Considerable surprise and some uneasiness were occasioned here this morning by the non-arrival of M. Guizot. At five o'clock yesterday afternoon, a French Cabinet courier arrived here from Lon don, with dispatches for M. Guizot from Count St. Aulaire, having performed the journey in little more than twenty hours. This morning a courier from Paris reached the Chateau, also, with dispatches for him ; the latter fact proving that the Minister had left that city for Eu. It was not, however, until a quarter to ten o'clock this morning that M. Guizot arrived. On inquiry it appeared that about three leagues and a half this side of Rouen, one of the wheels of his carriage got out of order, ceasing to turn on the axle ; all attempts to move it were vain. Messengers were accordingly sent in search of work men to set it right, or to find another vehicle ; but it was not until the Minister had been delayed more than five hours that a carriage could be procured. He appears, notwithstanding this vexatious occur rence, in excellent health. All is ready for the voyage. The presents for her Majesty and the Royal Family, including several packages of lace, and a superb carabine, or musket (by Caron), for his Royal Highness the Prince of \Vales, are all shipped. The French Post-office steamer, La Poste, one of those which carry the mails from Calais to Dover, is in the basin at Tre port, to convey the King and suite from thence to the Gomer steam-frigate, which has been at anchor in the offing for some days. The Pluton and another steamer, the name of which I shall mention later, are to escort or accompany the Gomer; but, as in the case of her Majesty Queen Victoria's arrival at Ostend, last year, it is expected that the royal steamer will, from its superior power, reack Ports mouth first and alone. I stated in my letter of last night, that yesterday the King entered upon his 72d year. There was nothing observable, however, at the Chateau, to mark the occasion, for the reasons I mentioned. Their Majesties took an airing in the forest before dinner, and had their usual soiree at the Palace, in the evening, at which the principal persons of the coun try were present. Some bustle is certainly noticed here and at Treport to-day; but compared with the excitement that prevailed during the visit of Queen Victoria last year, and particularly on the day of her Majesty's embarkation, all is quietude. SIX O'CLOCK P.M. At ten minutes after six precisely the King, Queen, Madame Adelaide, and the Due de Montpensier en terred their carriage to proceed to Treport amid the tears of the persons in attendance. The Queen was of course deeply affected, this being her first separa tion from the king since her marriage. In another carriage followed the grand personages who are to accompany his Majesty, and in two others the per sons of the suite of his Majesty. • At half past six o'olock his Majesty rnbarked. Alt RIVAL OF THE KING OF THE FRENCH AT PORTSMOUTH. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY. So soon as daylight broke this morning a steamer with French colours hoisted, was seen at anchor at Spithead, and three others were reported a long distance off under steam. The steamer at anchor weighed, and proceeded to join those in the offing. At six A.m. the Admiralty flag was hoiste on board the Victory, which was sa.lut•d immediately by all the ships in commission at Spithead and St. Helen's. A salute of 19 guns was also fired in honour of the arrival of the French Ambassador, the Count St. Aulaire. As the haze cleared off the ships at Spithead a pp eare d dressed out in their gayest flags, and in the mo s t conspicuous position were placed the French flags. The French squadron were now seen approaching St. Helen's, going at a slow rate, viz., the Gomer, with the French standard at the main, an English ensign at the fore, and a French ensign at the mizen. The Caiman, the Fulton, and the Elan steamers, were attended by the beautiful yacht brig the Keine Amelie, each dressed out similar to the Gomer, with the exception of the French . standard. As the French squadron approached the five brigs stationed at St. Helen's, these vessels all hoisted French ensigns at the main, manned their yards, and saluted respectively as the Comer passed; these salutes were returned by the Caiman, and Fulton, and Elan, and the Reine Amelie• Lord Yarborough's yacht, the Kestral, and several others of the Royal Yacht Club vessels, also saluted, and were gaily decorated with colours. The flag of Admiral Sir Charles Rowley was shifted into the Queen ; and the French royal standard appeared flying at the main-top-gallant-ma s t head of the St. Vincent; both these three decker and the three brigs at anchor fired salutes as his Majesty passel through Spithead ; the French steamers only going at a quarter speed, allowed the numerous yachts and French brig yacht to keep company. They en tered the harbour in the same line of sailing, the Goiner taking the lead. When at the mouth of the harbour the King's bastion fired a royal salute from the 24-pounders ; and the platform battery also fired a salute, which the Fulton and Reine Amelie again returned. On shore the town 'was all commo- tion. At an early hour, at seven, the Grena dier companies of the 59th and 76th Regiments, accompanied by the band of 'the , former regi ment, and commanded. by Major Hovenden, appeared on the parade, and. were inspected by the Lieutenant-Governor, Sir Henry Parker; they then proceeded to Gosport, where they were joined by a company of the 47th Regiment, compo sing a guard of honour of nearly three hundred men. The marine and a portion of other troops likewise went over to Gosport, to do duty at the Railway and Victualling-yard. At twenty-minutes past nine the French steamer came into harbour, and on enter ing Louis Philippe was plainly distinguishable from the numerous officers in splendid uniform by whom he was attended at the after-part of the quarter deck of the Gomer. Thousands of persons crowded the King's bastion, the lines facing the sea, the plat form battery, and Victoria pier, to witness his ap proach ; and the long, loud, and yocifetous cheering ; with which the people greeted the French King w as courteously acknowledged by his Majesty repeatedly baring his head, and bowing to the assembled multitude. The Victory was dressed in colours, and had the Admiralty flag at the main, and the French flag at the fore. The Port-Admiral being unable, from the state of his health, to go afloat, the duty of waiting on his Ma jesty therefore devolved on Admiral 11. Parker, C. B. Immediately after the Gomer came to anchor, a troop of artill. , ry soldiers were drawn up on the quarter-deck. Soon after Admiral La Susse came on deck in full uniform ; and immediately after Admiral Mackau, Baron Athalin, General de Rumigny, with various officers, aides-de-camps, and special personages, all in splendid costumes. In a little while his Majesty came on deck, pre ceded by the Duc de Montpensier , and followed b y M. Guizot, when the thunder of the Victory an nounced the arrival of Prince Albert. At this mo ment the yards were manned, and the interest intcose. As soon as the Prince stepped on board, the King caught him in his arms, and kissed and embraced him with the utmost warmth of affection. The Duke of Wellington immediately followed the Prince. The Duke bowed repeatedly, but the King took his hands cordially, and seemed to use no ceremony. After a very few minutes, the Prince pointed the way for the King, but his Majesty playfully pushed the Prince before him, and they descended the ladder amidst the heartiest expressions of enthusiasm from all sides. The Duke of Wellington followed, receiving his accustomed share of popular respect. At the moment of the Prince's appearance the marine hand of the Gomer played " God save the Queen," followed by the famous French national air, " La Parisienne.." The royal boat was escorted by a fleet of boats filled with curious persons. At sea the King's fleet was hailed by several yachts, with steamers. The Queen and the St. Vincent, anchored out, showed all their colours. As soon as the steamer came to anchor, the Lords of the Admiralty went on board to pay their respects to his Majesty, who received them most graciously. Shortly afterwards the Mayor and Corporation of Portsmouth came on board, and being ushered into the royal presence, presented his Majesty with an address, welcoming him to this country. The address having been read by the Recorder, his Majesty replied in a speech in which he expressed his satisfaction at once more visit ing the hospitable shores of England, and his hope that this interchange of visits between the Sovereigns of the two countries would perpetuate the friendly relations now happily existing between both. His Majesty then shook hands with the corporation, who retired much pleased and gratified with their courteous reception. The royal party then debarked, and entering the royal carriages awaiting them on the beach, pro ceeded rapidly, amidst the cheers of the spectators, to the railway station, whence they were conveyed by a special train to Farnborough, where they arrived at a quarter to one o'clock. FURTHER PARTICUrARS. FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) The new royal carriage left Vauxhall with the Chairman and Directors of the South 'Western Railway soon after six o'clock yesterday morning, and arrived at Farnborough about eight. At half-past eight his Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Colonel l3ouverie, as Equerry, arrived at the Farnborough station, and at once proceeded on his route for Gosport. On arriving at Basingstoke it was ascertained that his Grace the Duke of 'Wellington had just arrived from Strathfieldsaye, on which Prince Albert in vited his Grace into the royal carriage, which then proceeded without further stoppage to Gosport, where it arrived a few minutes after ten o'clock. Prince Albert was here informed that the King of the French had arrived off Spithead so early as seven o'clock, and that his Majesty had landed at the Clarence Victualling yard, accompanied by the Duke de Montpensier and his suite, soon after nine. His Royal Highness, accompanied by the Duke of Wellington, immediately proceeded to meet the illus trious guests. Soon after eleven, his Majesty the King of the French, his son, the Duke de Montpensier, Prince Albert, Mons. Guizot, and a whole host of eminent and illustrious personages arrived at the Gosport terminus. The Prince handed the King into the royal carriage, and was followed by the Duke of Montpensier, and the various officers and others of the suite having entered the other carriages, the trains proceeded at a rapid rate to the Farnborough•station, where it arrived soon after one o'clock. Here several of the royal carriages and four were in attendance. The King of the French having alighted from the train, turned to the Directors, and the many people about the station, and acknowledged his reception—a truly English one throughout—by repeatedly bowing in a most gracious and dignified manner. The Royal party having entered the several carriages the cortege proceeded, amidst the loudest cheering from the populace, on its way to Windsor, where the illustrious guests arrived a little before three o'clock in the afternoon. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, TUESDAT. -HiS Maje4ty the. King o the French arrived at the Castle at ten minutes p 0 two o'clock this afternoon, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert and his Royal Highness the Duke de Montpensier. The Queen received her august visitor at the door of the grand entrance, accompanied by the Duchess of Kent, and attended by the Ladies of the Court, in cluding the Countess of Gainsburough, the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, the Lady Charlotte Dundas, the Hon.

The principal Officers of SN'o and of the royal household were also in attendance, including the Lord Steward, the Lord Chamberlain, the Master of the Horse, Lord Byron, Lord in Waiting ; Viscount Sydney, Lord in Waiting on the King; Lord George Lennox, Lord in Waiting on Pr:nce Albert ; Sir Frederick Stovin, Groom in Waiting ; and Major- General Weinyss, Equerry in Waiting. The whole of the gentlemen appeared in the Windsor uniform. Sir Robert Peel was also in attendance. The King of the French, Prince Albert, and the Duke de Montpensier, Occupied an open carriage and four. His Majesty, who was in uniform, and Prince Albert, sat together, and the Duke de Montpensier, who also wore a military uniform, sat on the opposite side of the carriage. His Majesty, after being receives by the Queen on slighting, paid his reTects to the Duchess of Kent. His Royal Highness the Duke de Montpensier having been presented to the Queen, and also to the Royal Duchess, the illustrious party proceeded up the grand staircase, the Queen on the arm of the King of the French, the Duchess of Kent with the Duke de Mont pensier, and Mons.

His Excellency Count de St. Aulaire, his Majesty's Ambassador at the British Court ; the Count de Jarnac, First Secretary to the Embassy; and the Hon. Captain Duncombe, Groom in Waiting to the King, also followed in her Majesty's suite. The Lord Chamberlain and the Lord Steward pre ceded her Majesty and her august visitor to the State apartments, the whole of the noblemen and gentle men of the royal suites following the illustrious party. Detachments of the Royal Horse Guards had been stationed at Bagshot and Blackness-gate, and formed the escort of the august party to the Castle. The officer in command was Sir Charles Slingsby. The King's arrival was notified by the ringing of the church bells, and the firing of a royal salute. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent arrived at the Castle from Frcgmore Lodge, attended by her Lady in Waiting, Lady Charlotte Dundas, a few minutes before the arrival of the King. His Royal Highness Prince Albert left the Castle at seven o'clock this morning, in a carriage and four, attended by Colonel Bouverie, Equerry in Waiting, for the Farnborough station of the South-Western Railway, proceeding thence by a special train to Gos port, to receive the King of the French. The Duke of Wellington returned from Gosport by the same train with his Majesty and Prince Albert, and followed the royal party to the Castle. Soon after the arrival of the illustrious guests, the Queen and Prince Albert, the King of the French, _ nsr t r, the Duchess of Kent, and the Duke de Montpe • entered the White-room, were a dejeune was serv e d o the august circle.

Theirßoyal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, were taken their accustomed walks and rides to-day in the pleasure-grounds of the Castle. Sir James Graham arrived in town yesterday morning, from Windsor Castle. The Right Hon. Baronet visited the Earl of Aberdeen at the Foreign. office, yesterday. The Earl and Countess of Lincoln arrived in town yesterday evening. Lady Colville has been confined at the residence of the Noble Lord, near Portobello, of a son and heir. To the great grief of her Ladyship, the infant child only survived a few minutes. The Noble Lord will shortly visit his estates of Cleish and Ochiltree, where great re joicings would have taken place but, for the sail event. LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY —On Thurs day last the foundation stone of the monster bridge, which will consist of seven arches of sixty feet span each and upwards, of one hundred and four feet high, and intended to cross the river Lowther, at a beautifully ro mantic spot, called Yew's Cram e) , near Brougham H a ll and the village of Clifton, was laid in the presence of several of the Directors, Mr. Stephenson, undertakers, and workmen, together with a large concourse of re spectable people from Penrith and the surrounding dis ti icts, who seemed anxious to be spectators of the inte resting event. The massive stone having been lowered to its destination, and Mr. Lamer, the engineer of the line, having adjusted it with a mallet, the company gave three hearty cheers, which aroused the echoes in Lowther woods surrounding. Whilst Mr. L. stood on the stone, the Directors and contractors partook of brandy and wine, each wishing success to the undertaking, and the workmen did the seme, who were regaled with two or three barrels of ale. There is at present current, in the higher circles, a rumour, the realisation of which would give general satis faction. It is said that her Majesty is about to raise the Earl Delawarr to the first rank in the Peerage, by re viving-in his person the extinct Dukedom of Dorset—the Countess being, with the exception of the Countess Am herst, the only surviving representative of JOhn Frederick third duke, as sister (IGeorge, fourth duke, whose me lancholy death, by a fall from his horse, occurred on the 14th of February.—Post. The Chester and Holyhead Railway have finally negotiated their bargain with Government for the mail service on the line. The Company are to convey two up and two down mails daily, for five years, for a pay ment of 30,0001. per annum ; and for a further term of seven years at 30,0001. per annum as a maximum, but which maximum shall be subject to reduction to any sum not less than ls. 2 1-16 d. per single mile (equal to about 7,2701. per annum). fluctuating between these two amounts according to the sum required to allow a return of 5 per cent. on the capital subscribed. But in no case, whatever the return to the Company may be, is the pay ment by her Majesty's Government, during the said seven years, to exceed 30,0001. per annum, nor be less than the sum of is. 2 1-16 d. per single mile. GIGANTIC SCHEME.—We have heard that the prac ticability of connecting the opposite shores of the Mer— sey by a stupendous chain bridge is under consideration. It is said that, by the formation of a viaduct, on the principle of an inclined plane, on arches, commencing at the top of James -street, to the margin of the river, a sufficient elevation may be obtained. A similar erection on the Woodside bank of the river would, of course, be requisite. Our active and enterprising Cheshire neigh bours would, no doubt, readily assist in promoting a pro ject so magnificent. Such a work would throw all other suspension bridges into the shade, and be a world's wonder. Of its practicability no doubt, we believe, is en tertained, and it will be allowed that the enterpri: e is worthy the combined energies of Liverpool and Birken head.—Liverpool Albion. WESTMINSTER IMFROVEMENTS.—RIGBY WASON'S LINE.—Some of the inhabitants of Westminster having seen a plan for the proposed improvements, invited their neighbours to meet them on Tuesday last to consider the same. They had been unable to obtain a copy of the plan, but from what they had seen of it. reported that it was very nearly the same as that formerly projected and known as " Rigby Wason's Line," only rendered still more ob jectionable than that very objectionable line was. The following are some of the principal defective points which it was agreed to lay before the Commissioners of Woods and Forests and the public:-Ist. By "Rigby Wason's altered line," Westminster Abbey, which ought to be thrown open to public view, is left equally . obscure as now. 2d. Instead of a direct approach to Pimlico from Westminster Abbey, it is a curved street from West minster Abbey to Vauxhall-bridge-road. 3d. It does not improve the approaches to the Palace, but diverges fur ther and further fn-m it every yard it proceeds. 4th. It leaves the sewerrge of Westminst, r unimproved. arid dues not touch the bad lanes, courts, and alleys, branch ing out of York-street, in the neighbourhood of the Palace, which are a continual source of malaria and con sequent fever. There were other strong points of objec tion to the proposed plan, but the foregoing were consi dered such radical defects that it was thought it would only be needful so call the attention of all parties con cerned to them, to insure its rejection, and a suheirip don was entered into, and a committee formed, to take the necessary steps to effect this. MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.—Last week two persons, walking through. the pleasure -grounds of Methven Castle, on the romantic banks of the Almond, came to a spot opposite Cromwell-park, where the banks rise precipi tous to considerably above 100 feet. The pers. , n who was guiding them pointed out a very steep place, down which some years ago a party of poachers made their escape from the keepers by plunging down the precipice. After viewing the place very attentively, one of the stran gers excl a i me d, " Well, I would rather have been taken than run the risk of such a fearful leap." lie had no sooner spoken, than the batik on which he was standing, being loosened by the late rains, gave way, and he was precipitated along with it into the river. His. friend, along with the guide, ran to another part of the hank, dsseended to the river, and hurried to the spot, expect ing to find only a mangled corpse, but to their surprise found him just extricated from the mass of earth which had accompanied him in his fall, and only slightly bruised, notwithstanding his rapid and perilous descent. —Perth Courier. DISCOVERY OP Tlig BODY OP THE LATE Ma. Matertst, VB SLIGo.—The ie,d; gen tleman, whose death we noticed iof this lamented n ,*.!.ie public journals about two months since, was washed asin;re on Sunday last at Mullaghderg, five miles from Dungloe', in the county Donegal, and about forty by sea tram the place where he lost his life. An inquiry was instituted by Mr. Foster and Mr. Russell, magistrates, respecting the finding ef the corpse, and from the address with which Mr. Foster conducted the investigation, he discovered that the individual by whom it was first drawn out of the water had secretly taken possession of the unfortunate gentleman's watch, which he then gave up. The body was a good deal mutilated. The eyes were out, and the ears eaten while in the water. The remains were put in a shell, and after prayers had been read over them, they were lightly covered with earth in the church-yard at Dungloe ; but it was expected they would be disinterred and conveyed to Sligo for burial, and for the purpose of having a Coroner's inquest held upon them. We un derstand that a suspicion exists of Mr. Martin's having been murdered, and that two men are under arrest, who are charged with the murder.—Londonderry Sentinel. Tun FIEND or Till Tazz.—Tsang-hoyuen, while at Kwantung, saw a man with a light wooden collar round his neok. His curiosity being excited, he ques tioned the man as to his reasons for wearing the collar. On his repeated solicitations the man related the follow. ing extraordinary circumstances :—" Some years ago my brother and I set out on horseback in search of ad ventures. At the foot of a high mountain, a little man with a white beard, not more than three cubits high, and with a turban on his head, came out and stood before us, bowing his head to the ground. My brother asked him who he was, and what he wanted ; but he replied, "Nothing." He now began to breathe on the horses, which started back with terror, and kept snorting and prancing, but would not move from the place. My brother, enraged at this, bent bis bow and' shot an arrow at the old man, who immediately fled, pursued by my brother, who not returning for some time, I went W search for him ; I soon discovered his lifeless body lying under a tree, his neck grown to a gigantic size. Horrified at this dreadful sight, I turned away from the place, but was stopped by the old man, who came out of the tree, and began to breathe on me. My neck immediately began to fall to pieces, and I was obliged to clasp it with my hands till I arrived home, when I had this collar with iron bands made, w I never can remove lest my neck fall to pieces." I havw since discovered that this old man was the fiend of the tree, whose breath is deadly poison. —From Captain Piddinq's Chinese Olio a fid Teo. Toth, No. 22.

Accounts from Frankfurt of the 18th ult. state that the treaty between Belgium and the Zollverein had ex cited considerable attention at Hamburgh, which tows had sent delegates to open preliminary negotiations for a union with the Zollverein. Among other advan tages offered are said to be the free navigation of the Elbe, and permission to the ships carrying the flag of the United German States to have the same privileges in loading or unloading as at Antwerp, so as to promote the transatlantic and general maritime commerce of the Zollverein. We cannot attach much credit to these statements, as Hamburgh could not expect the same advantages now Belgium has effected a treaty. although the importance of the union of a great port like Hamburgh with states which, comparatively to their great extent have not a very long sea-board, is not to be denied. The more enthusiastic Germans ! , look for the ultimate establishment of a united mercantile marine, and, of necessity, a protective or naval force must be organised. and could be kept up in a proportion which would exceed that of France, and stand next only to that of England. There are no late arrivals to-day from any quarter except by the usual Continental mails. The works at the Royal Exchange are 14ing carried on with considerable activity, and there is a • hope that the day of the opening will, as far as possible, be observed as a regular holiday—not a mere apology for one—since it is some time that any public celebration afforded a treat to the plodding officials of city shops and counting houses. The Mincing-lane markets, it is presumed, as a matter of course, since holidays can be taken for Derby and St. Leger days, will be closed on the occasion, the brokers in that quarter, as at the Stock Exchange, being • no grudgers of a little wholesome relaxation.
