Our dearly beloved the Grand Duchess Alexandra Nicotajewne, consort of Prince Frederick of Hesse Cassel, after a long and severe illness, was prematurely delivered on the 29th of July (Aug. 10) of a Prince, who was baptised by the name of William and died soon afterwards. Our beloved daughter died shortly afterwards, with deep sorrow, yet humbly resigned to the mysterious will of Divine Providence. We doubt not that all our faithful subjects; who so lately mani fested such cordial participation in our joy on the marriage of our beloved daughter will now unite with us in feelings of grief and in prayer to the Almighty for the repose of her pure and gentle soul in the eternal mansions of the virtuous."

The passing of such a remarkable Bill Has furnished a subject for many a quill .!.. ome regard such an Act as a national boon, Which is certa;n to bring about good, very soon; And others are quite disappointed to learn, '1 hat'the statute for debtors has taken this turn. With' regard to ourselves, we shall never regret, . For, to tell you the truth, we are deeply in debt ; Yes, yes, an amount most enormous we owe And, buti for thi s Act, we to prison must go. . In Pict, we ran scsrcely tell what would be done With mighty insolvents like MOSES and SON. • The reader, no doubt, will be struck when he hears That MOSES and SON are so much in arrears. But let us explain. The amount that we owe ' Has nothing to de with our capital no. 'Tis " gratitude's debt" which we this have contracted, Through the liberal manner the public have acted. A vast " debt of thanks" is the " debt" that are owe, For favours which millions of patrons besteW. And this is a " debt" which we never can pay— But mark I We will do all we can to defray. And if this is effected, whit more can be done, By honest insolvents like MOSES and SON ? For the convenience of parties residing from town, on application, directions for self-measurement will be forwarded post free. READY MADE. £ s. d.

From the great success of their ENGAGED STYLES in Trowser ings for the last few seasons, they have been induced to produce a still greater variety, and they may confidently state, from the exten sive orders already on hand for America and the Continent, as well as Paris, that the styles of the present season' will be found, on in spection, to be fully equal, if not superior, to any former year. The wool having been purchased some months since, B. and W. feel great pleasure in giving their friends the advantage of old prices. To Country Buyers they would submit that the present time is most favourable for purchasing, as a month later the new wools come into the market, and the best patterns will probably be gone.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Are the slop-sellers of the metropolis alike destitute of the feelings of humanity, the sense of shame, and the consciousness of responsibility ? The fearful results of their grinding cupidity have been often exhibited, and their cruelty denounced. The Press has frequently brought before the public eye the sad scenes of privation, verging on starvation, caused by the miserable wages they pay to their wretched workwomen. The lingering death endured by many of these poor creatures—who, faint, from hunger, fatigue, and suffering, ply the needle through the greater part of the night, unable to procure sus tenance by unintermitting toil during the day—has been represented in the homely phrase of prose, and in the more affecting appeals of verse. Hood's " Song of the Shirt ' will perpetuate, for it faith fully portrays, the sufferings of this wretched class of the most helpless of the sex. Their weakness and woes would appeal to the sympathies of their employers—if they were men. If shame were capable of moving them to virtue. they would, ere this, have convened a public meeting of their trade and pledged themselves to each other and to the public, that an advance upon their scandalously low rates of wages for the making-up of the shirts, trousers, and other articles of dress , in the sewing to gether f which large numbers of females are daily and nightly employed, should take place. And if humanity and shame had ceased to operate, the de nunciations of Heaven against those who " grind the face of the poor, and afflict the soul of the needy," might awake those apprehensions of future retribution against which the most obdurate are not altogether proof. But these considera tions seem incapable of moving the slop-sellers. Their poor work women are ground to the dust, and are even pressed out of life, by the operation of the system of competition which this class of traders persist in carrying on against each other. The profits they acquire are wrung from the vi tality of the poor needle-women, who starve, while they " fare sumptuously every day." Another of these terrible examples is before us. A fine young woman, industrious and virtuous, unable to sup port life upon the wages of shirtm aking, and shrink ing from the alternative which lures but to inflict upon its victims a deeper depth of misery, has been impelled to suicide. A double suicide was only pre vented by the timely arrival of a labouring man, who, on his way to work, was attracted to the spot by a shriek, and succeeded in rescuing from death a sister of the wretched girl. They had agreed to terminate their miserable existence together by drowning. The survivor told the sad tale of their mutual struggles to sustain life by their unintermitting toils, and of the horrid conclusion to which they came to terminate an existence which to them was alike. destitute of in ducement, in the shape of possession, or of promise, to prolong it. The Coroner's inquest commenced its inquiry into the cause of the death of the poor suicide on Friday, and closed it yesterday. The name of the deceased girl was Eliza Kendall—her age nineteen—the mode of death was drowning—the place selected for the act a secluded spot on the Surrey Canal The jury marked its sense of the cause which led to the catastrophe by the verdict it returned upon the evidence :—" That the deceased committed suicide whilst labouring under a fit of insanity ; and the jury cannot but deprecate the cruel practice of the slop sellers in London, of employing young females at needlework at so low a rate of wages as to preclude the possibility of a subsistence!' This was, in fact, a verdict of wilful murder against thesystem by which "the slop sellers in London" manage theirbusiness. The manifest tendency of this system is the destruction of life. To re duce the prices of shirt-making to five farthings each, is —we will not mince the matter--to consign the poor crea tures who are condemned to toil for such• a pittance to starvation. The appropriate designation of such cruelty is murder. Rent—food—clothes—firing — candles (for toil by night)—and all these out of sew ing the materials of shirts together at five farthings each ! Those who think the thing consistent with the sustentation of life deserve to be undeceived, by being subjected to the experiment. Human legisla tion cannot prevent the horrible state of things. But public opinion can express its _sense of the enormity ; and the public Press can, an d will, utter its thun ders r a i ga yse i dT n sAftr from it, mD a hA n u d ni n a l; la g n a T s t h thosemise r y. last who h o t e p l e o c g, r k a e p t h t i h c e gains dispatchde from Morocco offers a triumphant contradiction to • the rumours so industriously circulated by the French Opposition Press, that Marshal Bugeaud was lying on his oars waiting for reinforcements, which his Government were indisposed to sen d him ; and that in the interim a junction be tween the troops commanded by the son of the Emperor of Morocco, and the main body of the Moorish army would be effected, which would enable their united forces to overwhelm the comparatively small army at the disposal of the Marshal. lie appears, however, to have wisely anticipated this junction, by striking a decisive blow at once. The affair, judging from the very meagre account supplied by the telegraph, would seem to have been every way worthy the military reputation of the Marshal, and the tried gallantry of the French troops. If, indeed, it be correct that the Marshal left 800 of the enemy on the field, and captured the number of guns and the quantity of munitions of war and baggage enumerated in his dispatch, the moral effect of his victory cannot fail of being considerable, both in Algeria and Morocco ; and so far from leading, as a Contemporary suggests, to a prolongation of the contest, will, we hope and believe, bring it to a speedy termination. The Em peror has, undoubtedly, extensive means at his command for protracting the struggle, and greatly enhancing the natural difficulties with which his assailants will have to contend. But cui bono Q Under any circumstances, he must be a loser to an extent greater in proportion to his resources than any sacrifices he may force upon the French. If the professions of the latter, that they have no intention to occupy ultimately any part of Morocco, be as sincere as we believe them to be, the Emperor is fighting for a shadow, and may well afford to accept the conditions offered to him. If we could suppose it otherwise, and believe that it was the determination of Marshal Bugeaud to conquer and take possession of the country, then would there be no other prospect than that of a long, and, to the invaders, a most harassing and un fruitful war—and we should consider this prelimi nary success as tending only to enhance their fu ture difficulties; for unless followed by the imme diate submission of the Moors, it will increase their :exasperation to the highest possible pitch, until every foot of the soil will be disputed, and every means within reach of a barbarous enemy resorted to to drive them from the country; the heat of the climate, and the impossibility of provisioning an army, in many of the districts through which the Marshal will have to pass, offering of themselves the most weighty obstacles to the en terprise. It is possible that the conviction that the French can proceed but little further during the pre sent season, may induce the Emperor to delay his submission. The great probability, however, is, that we shall hear of his having accepted the proposed terms by the next dispatch. The fact that the son of the Emperor had joined the Moorish camp would lead us to infer that the troops of which he was said to be in command had accompanied him, and if so, the Moors will have little prospect of repairing their disaster, and but little temptation (having been beaten at such tremendous odds) to renew the contest. MODERN FRENCH MANNERS. By this time I became aware of a truth which bad dawned on my mind, that the French common people have lost much of that grace of manner which once distinguished them above all other people. More courteous than the Italians they could not be ; but, while their manners were more artificial, they were more playful and winning. All this has changed. I did not remark the alteration so much with regard to myself as in their mode of speaking to one another. The " Madame" and " Monsieur" with which stable boys and old beggar-women used to address each other, with the deference of courtiers, has vanished.- No trace is to be found of it in France. A shadow faintly exists among Parisian shopkeepers when speaking to their customers; but only there is the traditional phraseology still used ; the courteous accent, the soft manner, exist no longer. I speak of a thing known and acknowledged ,by the French themselves. They want to be powerful ; they believe money must obtain power; they wish to imitate the English, whose influence they attribute to their money-making propensities, but now and then they go a step beyond, and remind one of Mrs. Trollotie's description of the Americans. Their phraseology, once so delicately, and eveu, to us more-straigittf.rwani penpin, pranc ingly, deferential (not to superiors only, but toward one another), is become blunt, and almost rude. * * * Perhaps more than any people, as I see them now, the French require the restraint of good manners. They are desirous of pleasing, it is true ; but their amour propre is so sensitive, and their tempers so quick, that they are easily be trayed into anger and vehemence. * * * On board these long, narrow river-steamers I found the same defects : the air most agreeable to a traveller, of neatness and civility, was absent. There is, however, no real fault to be found, an'. I should not mention this were it not a change ; and I sincerely wish the French would return to what they once were, and give us all lessons of pleasing manners, instead of imitating and exaggerating our faults, and adding to them an impress all their own ; a sort of fierceness, when displeased, which is more startling than our sullenness. As I said, this has no reference to any act towards myself; but the winning tone and manner that had pleased me of old no longer appeared, and it was in the phraseology used among each other that the change was most remark able.—The Young Widow. GREAT FOOT-RACE FOR 20/.—On Monday a very , large number of persons assembled at the Beehive ground, Walworth, to witness the race between Bad cock, of Birmingham, and E. Smith, of London, both of whom have acquired some notoriety. The contesting distance was one mile. In betting Badcock was the fa vourite, Smith's friends being very shy and cautious. At the start Badcock took the lead, which he maintained and came in a gallant winner, his opponent and his friends appearing much discomfited and chagrined at the result. VISIT OF PRINCE WILLIAM OF PRUSSIA TO LIVER- . POOL.—LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—His Royal Highnesa Prince William of Prussia arrived at the Adelphi Hotel last night, en route from Scotland. He left Glasgow on Friday, slept at Carlisle on Saturday, and yesterday proceeded to Lancaster, whence, after having taken a view of the castle and the localities generally, he came by railway to Parkside, and thence to Liverpool. On his arrival at Lime-street station, he was met by the Prussian Consul, in full uniform, the Mayor, and Mr. Alderman Bramley Moore. His Royal Highness, ac companied by the Mayor and two of his suite, then pro ceeded in the Mayor's private carriage to the Adelphi Hotel, where he dined, the President Von Garlach, a Prussian judge, forming one of the royal dinner party His Royal Highness took a tour through the town this morning, viewing the principal objects of interest with as careful an inspection as his limited stay would admit of. He started from the Adelphi at seven o'clock, ac companied by the Mayor and others members of the Corporation, and took his departure for Warwick Castle at half-past eleven o'clock A.M., by railway. His Royal Highness, after leaving the Adeiphi Hotel, visited the Brunswick Dock, the Custom House, the Royal Mail steam-ship Britannia, steamed along the line of docks in the Redwing, visited the Waterloo and Prince's Decks, the Fish Market, the Assize Courts, and, finally, passed through the beautiful suite of rooms at the Town Hall. From Warwick Castle the Prince will proceed to Hampden, and thence to Drayton Manor, where he will make a brief stay with Sir Robert Peel. DETERMINED SUICIDE ON BLACKFRIA.RS-BRIDGE.— Monday evening, about a quarter to six, a respectable looking young man committed suicide by throwing him self off the balustrades of Blacktriars-bridge, near the centre arch, when the deceased immediately sunk, the tide running down strongly at the time, and was never afterward seen. The deceased was observed to mount one of the recesses with the apparent intention of look ing at the craft on the river, and nothing particular being observed in his manner no notice was taken of him until he was suddenly seen to jump up on the balustrade , an d before any assistance could reach him he ha d_ precipi tated himself into the river. Boats immediately put off and the drags were put in use , it does not afford any c lue to who the un fortunate person was. The name " Binden, maker, Cam berwell," is on the lining.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.--Frida y afternoon, as one of the Paisley trains, drawn by the Greenock Company's engines, was on its way to Glas gow, and when abo u t two miles from Paisley, the axle of the tender broke, when both • tender and engine were thrown off the line. None of the passengers or servants were seriously hurt ; three of the former were slightly injured, and were able to walk away soon after the acci dent happened. The tender, engine, and a third-class carriage, were considerably damaged. A detention to several trains took place inconsequence of the obstruc tion, but, by about half-past three o'clock, the rails were , had stnd the line clean—Glasgow National. On the day of the death of the Princess the Court went into mourning for several weeks. ST. PETERSBURGH, AUG. 13.—After the delivery, the Princess felt herself relieved, and conversed for a considerable time with her beloved parents, brother and sister, and other relatives, who were all assembled round her in the last hours of her life. At four in the afternoon she took au affectionate leave of them all, and fell into a tranquil sleep from which she never awoke here below. She expired at a quarter before five. The body of the Grand Duchess,' as well as that of the Prince, were embalmed 'yesterday, and will be conveyed to-night without pomp froth Zarsko jesela to the cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul.— Hamburgh papers, Aug. 23. ST. PETERSBURGH, AUG. 16.—The mortal remains of the Grand Duchess Alexandra are deposited to-day in the cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul. The Military Governor of St. Petersburgh has re ceived, this morning, the following Imperial Rescript, in his Majesty's own hand, and hastens to communi cate it to the inhabitants of the capital. " After following the mortal remains of my be loved daughter to their final resting place, the impulse of my heart is to desire you to announce to the inhabi tants of the capital how deeply all our hearts are af fected by the general interest which they have mani fested, as well during the long and mortal illness of our beloved daughter, as likewise on her death, and, lastly,"on this night. These expressions of the general feeling are, indeed, not new to me ; hitherto they have been displayed only in days of joy, but mine it has pleased God to try us by the most painful. loss. We submit to his unsearohable will, and what can be more consolatory to our paternal hearts than the affecting proofs that our sorrow is the universal sorrow of the whole people entrusted to us by God. We thank them for this affection which is our coniolation, and gives me strength to proceed in my arduOus course. May those mortal feelings be the pledge of the future happiness." ALARMING FIRE IN ST. GILES'S—(YESTERDAY).--- About eleven o'clock yesterday a fire broke out in a narrow street called Maynard-street, off Buckridge street, in the very heart of all that now remains of the once noted " Rookery." A portion of the premises was in the possession of Messrs. Bridge and Co., the extensive cork-cutters and manufacturers of No. 29, High-street, St. Giles's, who deposited there a large quantity of ma-. nufactured and raw stock in consequence of which the utmost consternation and alarm pervaded the whole neighbourhood. An area of only about one-tenth of the original size of the " Rookery" now stands in conse quence of the new line of street, from Oxford-street to Holborn, and in this small, and more particularly May nard and Buckridge-streets, a large portion of the, possessed inhabitants had crammed themselves, so that when the first alarm of fire was given, the greatest con fusion prevailed in consequence of the efforts of the poor people to save their furniture. . Fortunately, however, the fire having broken Uteri the day time, it was atones discovered, and information forwarded to the different Fire Brigade stations. In a short time no less than ten engines were upon the spot, and a plentiful supply of water being at hand, the flames were speedily subdued, without doing any considerable damage. Owing to the number of thieves and daring characters which infest the neighbourhood, it was necessary to have a strong body of police to keep order. ASTLEY'S THEATRE.—After the various perform ances which at this theatre generally precede the eques trian feats of the circus, and after Mr. Wier ,(as the Lion Tamer of the Niger) has exhibited his extraordinary power over the lions, tigers, end, panthers, bdfb in a cage and on the stage, a miniature horse was exhibited in the circus. This wonderful little animal, which is called Tom Thumb, is well made, and something like a Shetland pony, though not so shaggy ; he stands only twenty-five inches high, and weighs but r s73lbs., was presented to Mr. Batty by the celebrated equestrian Mr. Wells, and has not his equal in the three kingdoms. Tom Thumb (the original) will appear in the circus at Astley's, we are told, during the week in a miniature carriage, which has been built for him by Mr. Beaton, of Soho-square, and which will be drawn by this little horse. Man, carriage, and horse will all then be in pro portion, and such another equipage is only to be found, probably, in the description of fairies. I...bit..t.mat-actuARE.--t he enclosure of this square is at present in a very dilapidated and disgraceful con dition. The iron railings have in many places been taken away, and, until the last few days, when the in habitants have placed a constable for its protection, it has day and night been a scene of most disorderly conduct. The title of the property to the enclosure is disputed, EGG Two THOUSAND YEARS OLD.—An egg :Was brought the other day from the island of Ichaboe, by the master of the Eliza Kincaid, to Leith, which was found at a depth of twenty-five feet from the surface, and must, therefore, according to the best calculation, have been upwards of 2,000 years old. It i s now to be seen at the National office, in Argyle -street.—Glasgow Na tional. SUICIDE AT CHELSEA.—On Monday morning, about a quarter to one o'clock, Mr. Jerome, of No. 8, Queen street, Chelsea, was passing along Cheyne-walk, when he observed a woman walk down the floating pier oppo site to Manor-street, and precipitate herself into the water. He raised an alarm, and drags were almost in stantly in use, but the unfortunate woman, who sankirn mediately, was not recovered. - - DAILY MAILS TO AND FROM BELGIUM.—The following notice has been issued by command of the Post-Master-General:--" General Post-office, August, 1844.—The Belgian Government having entered into a contract for the conveyance of mails twice in each week betwcen Dover and Ostend, in addition to the present communication ,by British :packets, mails for Belgium Will in future be made up at this office every day in the week (Sundays excepted), and return mails from Bel gium will be due in London daily, with the like ex ception."

About one-thir of the passengers were enabled to clear their baggage at the Custom-house and proceed to London by the last regular train from here, at half-past six ; the rest of the passengers, who were desirous of proceeding to London this evening. were forwarded by a special train, the Railway Com pany always affording this Bread accommodation to our packet passengers, arriving from Dieppe or Havre, under similar circumstances. On Friday afternoon last, between four and fi ve o'clock, as Captain Alexander Seton, of the 74th Regi ment, was riding his horse on Chatham Lines, the animal, on passing the stands about being erected for the accommodation of visitors, took fright and bolted across the lines at a tremendous pace, taking the direc tion of New Brompton.
