THE p TIMES" AND THE NEW POOR-LAW. - • The simple verification of all our reasonings, statements, and prognostications, with respect to the new poor• law, how ever flattering--as in truth it is flattering to ,uSL—wonld not have been so to such an extent, had we not Conceived that it would least to vast and universal good: tord)Sandon's speech on Thursday night is of a character to deserve special notice. His personal position, also, gives him weight, as lte.inust he considered to represent the sentiments of a large and highly respectable portion of the Tory aristocracy of the country. His Lordship, be it well remembered, was, up to a certain point, an advocate and a supporter of the new Bill. What (ver the opinions of such a man may be, they deserve atten tion because he is sincere, possessing also undoubted consi deration for talent and intelligence, as well as integrity. And what was the opening subject of Lord Sandon's speech on Thursday night? It was a candid avowal of the effect pro duced by " one powerful organ boldly representing, and constantly, vigorously, and energetically urging the evil s o f the existing system of poor-laws. There could not," said his Lordship, -" have been that change which has tardily been conceded, nor would ethe t neasure have been proposed which embodied so inanv of the amendments (we wish our countrymcnio attend to this) that had been perseveringly advocated by-ti l ar journitl," had it not, in fact, taken the pat t which it did take—" had there been no such influential organ of public opinion " it is gra tifying to us to know, on such authority, that we have ren dered services so great to our suffering cotintrymenz—to the sons and daughters of labour, the heirs of sorrow—through out this realm. Our task has certainly been a difficult one. No labour of thought, no bodily toil, no expense has boen spared, to bring the question, so far as it is now carried, to a successful issue. It was the cause of humanity that first separated us froM the Whigs, the self-styled hammers : there were many of their preceding acts at which we hesi tated and faltered ; we made some sacrifice, however; to con ti,lence and a predisposition to approve. [lot when they made this daring inroad upon humanity itself—when they gave up the whole labouring population of England; by one cruel act, as it were to misery and torment, our road was ,no longer the same ; we separated from them broadly. Our refuge, then, was the Conservative party—Sir Robert Peel and his associates ; and, for a while at least, they 4:aye us reason to suppose that our trust in them was not ill-founded. The declarations of most of them on the hustings, and we might say the same of their speeches in the House of Commons, were decidedly hostile to the new poor law ; and those who harboured mischief in their hearts were generally silent. Judge, then, how great was our surprise— how deep our sorrow—when we found that the new the Conservative party, so far as it was headed by Sir Robert Peel, was determined to adhere, in spite of intervening ex perience, to the arbitrary enactments of the Whig Bill. What, then, had we to look to? We boldly answer—to the people of England, and to ourselies. Lord Sandon's conduct upon the present occasion will entitle him to the gratitude of a greater body of his countrymen than he may be aware of. We ourselves would sincerely thank him for the approbation which lie has bestowed upon this journal for the part which it has taken on the important question under consideration. We have done all in our power to deserve the applause of honourable men like himself ; but applause does not always follow good intentions. We do, therefore, again most cor dially thank his Lordship, and hope that his efforts will, both in this and every other future measure, tend to his own ho nour and the good of his country.

PRIVATE FORTUNE OF LOUIS We have received a copy of the Cape Town Mail, containing an account of a dinner give❑ in the Commer cial Hall, Cape Town, to Sir George Napier, Governor- General of the colony, by a number of his friends, on the eve of his departure for England, after holding that appointment for six years. The Hon. Justice Menzies presided; and the Hon. Messrs. Porter and Montagu occupied the vice chairs. The part of the proceedings which we subjoin will be read with interest : The CHAIRMAN said—Gentlemen, if you will read the second edition of Gurwood's " Dispatches " (which I strenuously recommend to the perusal of those who have not yet read them), you will find a most remarkable cir cumstance there mentioned, namely, that, in addition to previous letters to her, communicating similar misfor tunes, the Duke of Wellington, on no less than three oc casions, within the short period of sixteen months, wrote to a noble lady, informing her of her sons having been wounded in battle. One of these sons was wounded,in every one of three engagements ; and, on each of two of these occasions, he had a brother sharing with him the same calamity.

The following article relative to the private domains of the King, and the necessity of making a State pro vision for his family, appears in the .Illoniteur of Sunday : Much has been said of the question of the dotation of the Royal Family, but it never has been discussed. This is the reason why so many and such grievous errors on this subject have been spread among the public. These errors have been either invented or believed, and propagated by the -factious ene mies of the throne, which was forme(' by.the Revolution of 1830. A great political evil has been the result. Not only has the King arid . the Royal - Family been sub-. jetted to it:justice, but the King has 'been disgracefully calumniated, his situation, his intentions have been repre sented to the country in a most illusive light, by the aid of the most insidious falsehoods, . and.. with the most culpable designs. - It is both a necessity and 'a duty to destroy the labours of theSe inimical factions, and to re-establish -with regard to this grave question the true rights and facts, and to explAin it to those honest and loyal people who have been deplorably abused. In law the question is now regulated by the law 'of March 2, 1832, which regulates= the civil list of the present reign, and which-provides that : "In case. of • the insufficiency' of the private domain, the dotations of. the younger sons of the King, and of the Princesses his daughters, shall be subsequently •ar ranged by special laws." Before this law, and at the perind'of-the Revolution of 1830, the head of the House of Orleans was in possession of all that remained of the ancient appanage of his house, in virtue. f Art. 4 of the law of the 15th of January, 1835, which is as follows : AVDITORS.

The regulations common to all other Life Companies, which make the validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correct ness of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life Policy, and which have given rise to almost all the questions which have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra judicial com promises, are thus entirely abrogated ; and nothing but fraud, proved to have been committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by this Company.

The Half-premium plan of Assurance, as practised by this Company, thus enables persons to retain to their own use the one-half of the premiums for the first seven years, at 51. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 101., the first pay ment by the half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the mite half of the 101., and interest for the retained half; and, if death should occur In the first year, the sum of 5001. would be paid less the 51. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year of 51. ; for the second, of IN. ; and so on till the end of the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either be repaid, or retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the 351. would be subtracted from the 500!. then payab.

Having such sons, I am aware you expect to hear of those misfortunes which I have so often had to communicate to you ; and,..notwlthstanding your affec tion for them, you have so just a notion of the value of the distinction they are daily acquiring for themselves, by their gallantry and gmid condact, that these misfor tunes do not make so deep an impression on you." That noble lady was the mother of Sir George Napier_ —(Loud cheers.) He was the officer who within these sixteen months, was four times wounded. His brother Charles was wounded along with him, on the first, and his brother William, on the second of these occasions. Happy sons ! who had such a mother, to train them up in the path of glory, and to do their duty to their country. Happy, happy mother! who had such suns, to profit by her instructions, and to be proud of. And thrice happy country! which possessed, among its sons and daughters, such a mother.—(Loud cheers.) The eldest of the sons is Sir Charles. I do not know where he first com menced his career of glory, but I shall begin at Corunna, where he fell, actually covered with wounds, at the head of the 50th Regiment, after having displayed such despe rate valour, that his conduct, on that occasion, excited the highest admiration, and gained him the esteem, and lasting friendship of two of the bravest soldiers, and greatest generals, in the French army—Marshals Soult and Ney. Having recovered from those wounds, he went on, from field to field, gaining honour, and reputation, and shedding his blood, until the British army reached the Pyrenees.--s-(Cheers.) His country then called for his services elsewhere, and, but that the overwhelming victory at Waterloo, the intelligence of which reached England at the same time, swallowed up everything else, the victory which Col. Charles Napier achieved in North America, would not have passed unnoticed by his country men.. I need say no more of the early career of this gal lant officer. After going through almost incredible dan gers,ltied receiving wounds, after which it is wonderful that life could be preserved, he has, in his old age, at a period of life when others, who have not been exposed to the fatigues and wounds to which he has been, gene rally seek for repose from active service, gone to a dis tant country and dangerous climate, and there he has, in the two great actions he has fought, shown all the gallan try, daring, and dash of youth, combined with the highest military. science, as a General, and talents as a states man, and achieved for himself the well-earned title of the Hero of Sinde.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) The other, and youngest brother, the Gallant General Wil liam Napier, fought. through the whole of the Peninsu lar war. Few were the actions which occurred in which he was not concerned, and in many he was wounded. And his wounds were so severe, as to have deprived his country of the use of his arm. But, al though . thus disabled in body, he has not been idle in the service of his country ; he called forth, and -applied, the great, talents and r esources o f hi s mind; and he has prodUCed a " History of the Peninsular War," which must always form part of the hbrary of every officer who is desirous of studying his profession, and which must be read by every civilian, who wants to know what a battle is. —(Cheers.) I rose, gentlemen, intending to propose the health of Sir Charles and Wil liam Napier ; but, gentlemen, althougN we ta-ve alreadys drunk the health of our illustrious guest, don'tfylesrt think it would be hard to separate the three brothers ?—(Loud cheers.) I see you agree with me. Let us, therefore, drink to the health of the Three Gallant Brothers, whose names were constantly associated together in the Penin sular army—" Charles, George, and William Napier." —(Cheers.) Sir GEORGE NAPIER said—Gentlemen, I really hardly know what to say ; but my Honourable Friend has paid so many compliments to my family, that it is abso lutely incumbent on me to say something in return. You have done me the honour to drink my health again, together with my brothers'. I shall say nothing more, however, of myself ; but though it may appear vain in me, I will be vain enough to say a few words about my brothers. Gentlemen— we were reared together—we have fought and bled together —we have slept in the same cloak, and until now, we have never been separated. One of theme as you are aware, was in command at Meanee and Hyderabad, where I know from others how he had dis tinguished himself ; for he is far too modest to speak of his own merits. Gentlemen, if ever there was a man in the world, who had the feelings of a soldier, my brother, Charles is , that man. His sole object in life has _been the army, He entered it at fourteen years of age; he is now sixty-two ' and during all that time, he has never been si x months on half-pay.—He has been in every campaign, and in most of the great actions that have been fought in the Peninsular war,—what ho nour and what gallantry he has shown in action, it is not for me to say; it is known by all, even from the youngest drummer in the army to the Puke of Wellington, at its head. He has lived now to go to India, after fighting for his country in every part of her Majesty's dominions; and there he has achieved those two splendid actions, of which we have lately had accounts.—(Hear, hear.) When I saw those accounts, gentlemen, believe me when I say I gloried more in my brother's victories than I could have done if they had been my own. Gentlemen, I have lived with that brother since my infancy, and we were never separated till now.- e (Cheers.) The Chair man has kindly mentioned an anecdote relative to a mother, than whom there never was a better. My fhther, m y grandfather, my great-grandfather, and my great great-grandfather, were all soldiers ; and my mother, above all things, wished us to pursue their steps. After sixty, she became quite blind, and could not distinguish her sons by sight, yet nothing could daunt her spirit, and she continued to encourage us in the path of honour. When I came home after the affair of Cuidad Rodrigo, she said to me—" I Would rather have my son with that em pty sleeve, than anything else in the world." Gentle men, my brother William, the historian of the Peninsular War, is as brave, and kind, and high-minded a man as ever lived; and I believe that every man who reads that history will acknowledge that he has done justice not o nly to his brethren in arms, but to a gallant enemy. He has gathered the materials for that history from two great sources; and, although some of the statements in the third volume have been cavilled at, and supposed not to be correct, yet, Gentlemen, the two great sources from whence he obtained his information, were far beyond suspicion—they were the Duke of Wellington and Mar shal Soult. I mention this circumstance, because- it 'll lustrates a curious fact, connected with that history. What first gave rise to my brother's intention to under take that work, was the publication of a book, containing some strong reflections against the character of a man upon whom I look back with the same feelings that I en tertain towards my own father. Entertaining feelings similar to mine, my brother reviewed that book ; and, in doing so, brought forward the beautiful character of the man who bred us all, and took care of him when he was wounded—of the man who, after having nobly served his country, was raised, at the age of forty-eight, to be Com mander-in Chief of one of the bravest armies that ever left the British shore, with which he traversed the Penin sula, from the heart of Spain to Corunna—General Sir John Moore.—(Loud cheering.) That man owed his advancement to nothing but th'e sword he wore. He was, as you are aware, the son of Doctor Moore, the author of " Zeluco." The Doctor gave him a good education and left him to his own efforts, and with his sword alore, John Moore placed himself at the head of the British army—no easy thing at that time. Of the military cha racter of Sir John Moore, it is sufficient to quote the words of his Grace the Duke of Wellington, when an ef fort was made to create a party feeling against Sir John. The Duke spurned it, as he would everything that is mean, and said, " Sir John Moore never committed a fault, and I appreciate him as he was—the best of British soldiers." To the example and encouragement of Sir John Moore I owe more than I can express. I was his aide-de-camp—l was by his side at Corunna—l saw him killed—l have got the sash in which he fell ; it is at pre sent in the possession of Sir Henry Hardinge, but I hold it most dear, as a relict that shall be bequeathed to my children after me. Sir J. Moore's- army underwent great sufferings, but it did wonders ; and, wherever my brother William's history goes, I trust it will clear the character of that great and good man, so worthy of all honour. I mention these things, gentlemen, in order to show you the manner in which we were brought up. Gentlemen, under Sir John Moore, we were taught to support the character of our own army, but to entertain no antipathy to the brave enemy who fights us fairly and honourably. As a noble instance of this feeling. I would ask, is there any thing in history equal to the reception which Marshal Soult, when in England, received from the Duke of Wel lington? I know Soult from two causes. After the battle of Corunna, my brother Charl es was reporte d to b e killed. I returned to the field. I turned over many bodies ; I searched every hospital, but I could not find him. At length, I heard that he was wounded, and taken prisoner. He was shot through the body—he was shot through the leg—he was cut by a sabre, almost from ear to ear—and one of the enemy was just about % to drive his bayonet through him, when a French drummer interposed, and saved his life. When Mar shal Souk learned the circumstance, be ordered the drummer to be rewarded on the spot, and wrote to Napoleon, stating the circumstance, who t io his credit be it spoken, ordered that drummer to receive the Cross of the Legion of Honour.—(Cheers.) The sequel was remarkable. Years after that, my brother William had to defend the bridge at the Coa, with the 43d. The French cline down impetuously, and the fight was_ furious. I have seen the bridge, gentleman; and it is hardly wider than this table. Again and again the assault was renewed • and you may judge of th e fierceness of the conflict, when I state, that out of the hundred men of which my brother William's com pany consisted, he lost sixty. A fresh column of the enemy came down—a drummer, as wis common at the time, at their head shouting " Vive Ent pereur They were driven back, and the drummer fell among the dead. After the action, we went up to the spot where the drummer lay ; he wore the cross of the Legion of Honour ;—that drummer proved to be the man who saved my brother's life.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Gentlemen these are anecdotes of the war, which show you what the feelings of soldiers are. You will never find the brave soldier cruel to his enemy, or quarrelsome with his friends. And, as lam story-telling, there is another anecdote connected with the Peninsular war, which, in reference to this principle, I may also mention. When-Marshal Soult quitted Corunna, the gallant Ney was left in command. He sent for my brother, who was still a prisoner, and placed him in comfortable quarters. He also appointed an aide-de-camp to attend upon him, a Frenchman, who spoke English well. In -the mean time, the news had got home that my brother wail killed, and the family went into mourning. My poor mother, however, said she never would believe it ; and she gave the War Department no rest, until Lord Mulgrave, who was at the head of it, sent a sloop of war to Corunna, commissioned to ascertain' the fact. One morning, the aide-de-camp came running in to my brother, and said an English vessel had arrived in the harbour. It was not known for what purpose she had come, but the kind hearted fellow went to Ney, and begged that my brother might be allowed to go home in her. Ney answered, 6- No; I cannot let:him ; Major Napier must remain." The aide de-camp returned, and informed my brother of the ill success of his attempt. " Well," said my brother, " of course I must submit ; my mother will at least hear that I am alive." Again the aide-de camp went to Marshal Ney, and again he was refused ; but still he persevered in pleading for my brother's release.(Loud cries of " Hear, hear," and cheers.) — At last he said, " Ah! Marshal, Major Napier has a mother, and if he does not return, his mother will die!" The Marshal paused a mom en t, and, turning to him, said --" Go, tell Major Napier he is free, on one condition : —that if the Emperor refuses to sanction this release, he will join me again on his parole." To this, of course, my brother gladly consented ; and, on waiting on the Marshal, he was asked if there were any of his people whom he would wish to take with him ? My brother said, there were some forty or fifty women, who had been left behind. These Ney ordered to be immediately released, and, turning to his aid-de-camp, added, "See that every soldier and every woman gets two Spanish dollars a piece to take them home."—(Loud cheers.) I was about to mention some particulars with regard to my brother as an historian. When I was in Paris, Marshal Soult gave me a dinner—not on my account, but as the brother of the historian—at which a number of Spanish, Portuguese, and other foreigners of distinction, were present. Mar shal Soult then addressed himself to me on the subject of the work, and said—that, when my brother first wrote to him, requesting information from sources which he had at his command, he was by no means disposed to accede to the request, and wrote a cold letter in reply, stating that he had a journal of his own, but that he did not see how the conduct of the French could be impartially re presented by a foreigner. " Your brother," said " Sault, " wrote in answer, that his object in asking for the in formation, was for the purpose of writing an impartial his tory, and that, therefore, if there were any inaccuracies, I must not attribute them to him, but to the want of suffi cient information. I took no further notice of the matter; but after a time, a letter came to me froin your brother, stating, that in his researches, among other documents, he had found a lot of letters belonging to Joseph, King of Spain, accusing me of wanting to throw off my allegiance to France. Ile said he had read them over, and found -that thkcontained grave, accusation; against me ; b u t, before published them, 'he sent them over for my;pe rusat, in order that he might publish, itt the same time, any defence that I might wish to make. When I read this, I said—this must be a gallant soldier and a good man. And I immediately sent him a quantity of papers, and my own journal, and told him that I committed the whole to him, because I knew they would be used by him as an honourable man and a brother soldier." On this noble conduct, on the part of Marshal Soult, I need make no remark. Our great Captain showed the feelings he entertained towards him on his recent visit to England. Sault travelled on the railroads and visited various parts of the country, and my brother told me he never saw a man who appeared so gratified with his visit as Soult appeared to be; and the French Captain Rooy, who has just left this port, told me that Soult declared that no thing could ever obliterate, till the day of his death, the extraordinary kindness that had been shown him by the Duke of Wellington, the British army, and the British nation.—(Cheers.)—Be'fast Northern Whig. VISITS of FOREIGN SOVEREIGNS. (From the Naval and Military Gazette.) The occasional visits of Foreign Sovereigns to this country we consider, apart from the mere indulgence of curiosity, events of the highest importance, not only with regard to England, but to Europe generally. In the first instance, they serve to abate or do away with prejudice on both sides ; and we look on their frequent recurrence as one of the principal causes why the ge neral dislike of foreigners, which Englishmen seemed to imbibe with their mother's milk, has now almost entirely disappeared. We recollect to what an extent this ani mosity against the French was carried daring our late struggle" with that country ; and how much that feeling was stimulated by every possible means, in speaking and writing ; it was carried often to such excess as to defeat its own purpose, and was partaken of not alone by the ignorant and uninformed, but by per • sons of rank and talent ; we even know instances of officers in the service, who bore a sort of personal hatred to the French ; among the foremost of these was the great example of Lord Nelson. This sort of feeling might be in a great degree praiseworthy during a period of hostility, when we were struggling for our very existence as a nation; but the glorious termi nation of the war, and the vast crowds of English who flew to the Continent, very soon dispelled this dislike, amounting to horror, which had existed against the French in general. We have stated that Lord Nelson participated in this sentiment—we believe, we may add, Lord Collingwoocl, and one or two others ; but in the navy there were very few opportunities of seeing the better part of the French character ; in four cases out of five, they had no communication with the officers of the hostile nation, until they came on board their ships to deliver up their swords, and then the generosity dis played was all on the English side. Neither on the sea when ships come in sight, are there those pauses in hos-, tility which are so frequent on shore, and where mutual forbearance, unless in the moment of combat, tends to give a more generous tone of feeling to those who are opposed. The immediate vicinity of the advanced posts of an army give frequent opportunities for acts of mutual civility, and even kindness, in which the French officers and their men appeared to great advantage ; in most cases where our officers were taken prisoners, they were treated like gentlemen. For these several causes, we may say, that the ancient prejudice and dislike that used to exist against the French in the abstract has entirely died away; and we have only to regret that a reciprocal feeling of good-will is not equally prevalent at the other side of the Channel. Although the Russians were the best and most suc cessful allies we ever had, their resistance and sacrifices, made in 1812, having broken the second link of the great chain that bound all Europe, yet since the peace of 1815 a growing prejudice has been fostered in this country against that people and their Sovereign. The amount of their military force was vastly exaggerated—they were supposed to be bent on universal conquest—Con stantinople was to be the third capital—and the mere report of the march to Khiva, and their ultimate sup posed view on our Indian possessions, sent many thou sands of our brave fellows to perish in the passes of Affghanistan. Without taking into account the circumstances under which the present Czar assumed the reins of Govern ment, the unsettled state of Poland, and the vast extent of frontier to be defended, he was held up as an unmiti gated tyrant, murdering and banishing the Poles, and the persecutor of the Jews, out of mere caprice ; indeed, these reproaches ran so high, that we had some slight apprehensions that the Emperor, if he visited our shores' might meet with some affront ; but the supposition was an injustice to our countrymen, which one short week was sufficient to disprove. Without waiting to scan the conduct of the Emperor towards his own subjects, they looked on him as the guest of their Sovereign and the nation ; they received him with corresponding demon strations, and were perfectly gratified by the distin guished appearance, noble bearing, and princely munifi cence of their Imperial visitor. If we were to take up causes of animosity or preju judice from past times, they might be brought to bear against the respected Monarch who is still within our dominions. During the long and ambitious career of Buonaparte, the late King of Saxony was his most d evo t e d ally, and remained so until his own troops deserted him at Leipsic ; but who would think of bringing that up as a ;natter of reproach now-a-days against his suc cessor ? We simply see him as an honoured guest, and the only remembrance is, that he reigns over a kindred people, from whom we have derived much of our lan guage, institutions, and even the virtues in which we most pride ourselves. Beside the pleasure and instruc tion foreign Princes receive on visiting our island, they will be able to ascertain by their own eyes that, as long as the nation is true to itself, and although not possessing an army adequate to half the calls on it, Great Britain is apt to be conclupred. Amongst the conditions thus attached, according to the ancient law, to precedents and to the law of 1825, to the possession of the Orleans appanage, were .the three following : _ 1. The Prince appanagist owed an allowance (legitime) to his sons and brothers, and a dowry to his daughters and sister. 2. If the Prince come, to the throne, his appanage was united to the Cr own domain, from which it was not distinct before 1791. 3. This opened to -the Princes, while it deprived of their claims on the ap panage, a similar claim for themselves and their de scendants on the domain of the Crown. The law of January 15, 1825, formally maintained these conditions and rights. The Revolution of 1830 brought about the application of the provision. The appanage of Orleans was united to the Crown. The younger Princes were thus deprived of' their claim or the eventual succession, and this opened to them at the same time a claim for compensation. This was recognised and consecrated by the 21st ar tiele of the law (-f the 2d of March, 1832, which says, " The dotation of the younger sons and of the daughters of the King shall be fixed by special laws hereafter." In these terms was drawn up article 20 of the Project of Law on the Civil List, presented to the Chamber of Depaties on the 3d of October, 1831, by M. Casimir Perrier ; but in consequence of an amendment adopted by the Chambers and sanctioned by the King, this article, which became the 21st article of the law of the 2d of March, 1832, ordered definitively— " In case of the inadequacy of the private domain pro vision (dotation) for the younger sons of the King, and for the Princesses, his daughters, sh a ll b e ulteriorly re gulated by special laws." Thus, to admit the right of the younger sons of the King, and of the Princesses, his daughters, to a provision regulated by special laws, the law requires that the pri vate domain of the Crown is not sufficient for that pur pose. But if this insufficiency exists, the right also exists; provision for them is due, and ought to be pro vided for by special law. Such is the right in this 'question—a right . fiarmally established and consecrated by the old principles of the monarchy, by the law of the 15th of January, 1825, and by that of the 2d of March, 1832. There is, then, when the question really arises, but one fict.to examine—" are the private estates of the King insufficient to make a provision for the Young branches of his family?" The attentive examination of this question will not leave any doubt in this respect. As Duke of Orleans, and before hi s access i on to the throne, the King found that, with respect to his paternal possessions, the amount of debts inscribed and admitted by the tribunals was thirty-one millions, while they were less thin sixteen millions in value. It was only by devoting a portion of the inalienable revenue derived from his here ditary property that he has been enabled, in the inter val of twelve or thirteen years, to succeed in accomplish ing a liquidation which imposes, even to the present day, charges on his private domain. The whole of the amount which the King, as D4e of i Orleans, received as indemnity 5,000,000 f., in virtue of the law of the 27th of April, 1825, has been absorbed' by the completion and the embellishment of the Palais Royal, now incorporated, and making part of the antient apanage, on the property of the Crown. Besides this, without speaking of the charges of the Royal Family, which are provided for by the Civil List, the expenses imposed upon the King for the maintenance of the Royal Family have increased, and are increasing, day by day. It is more than a century since the Duke of Orleans, the ancestor of the King, was invested, during the mi nority of his nephew, the King Louis XV., with the regency of the kingdom, who not only constantly re fused to take anything from the revenues of the State, finding that his personal property and his appanage was such as to permit him to abstain from doing so, hitt be constructed at his own cost, during the regency, the canals of Orleans and De Loing, and contracted, for the purpose of accomplishing these great works, consider able debts. The King, as Duke of Orleans, and as heir to the Regent, has liquidated, since his return to France in "1814, the last portion of these debts ; and to meet the expenses of the Crown and of his family, which his civil list and his private revenue united are not isuffi cient to cover, the King has been obliged for Some years to pledge to the proper department (la Caissje des Depots et Consignations)* the remainder of the revenue of the property on these canals which were made by the Regent Duke of Orleans at his own charge, No personal prodigality is proved, either in the admi nistration of the civil list, or the private property of the King, nor is there any confusion. Her Royal Highness the Princess Adelaide, hisbla jesty's sister, has given him, and continues to give) him every day, marks of a devotedness and of generosity almost without example, even in families united by the, most intimate and tenderest ties. . At the same time, to meet the expenses to which his Majesty is exposed as a King and as a father, his, Ma jesty has been obliged, and is obliged, to contract debts which increase every day, which oat into his private property, the only patrimony hitherto of the yonnger Princes, his sons, and the Princesses, his daughters) Such is a condition of things, contrary -to the prin ciples of justice, to th e di c t a t es of policy, and to the dig nity of the country, as well as that of the Crown. In strict right, and in the terms of the law, el:low naents are required and a r e d ue to t h e younger Pr nees and to the Princesses of the Royal Family, for his' Ma jesty's private property is insufficient to provide for em. It is contrary to equity that the younger sons o the King and his daughters should be deprived of rights in consequence of his Majesty's accession to the throne which would have belonged to them if the King had re mained Duke of Orleans and that the elev a ti on o f th e i r elders, and the aggrandisement of their house, should inflict on the junior branehea of the Royal Family such a serious disadvantage, It is the dictate of a foreseeing policy, and the perma nent interest of the State, that the whole Royal Family should be strongly constituted, and that the junior branches should always be maintained on a level `with the rank which they occupy around the throne which they ought to support, and to possess which eventually a right is attributed to them. In short, the honour of the country and the Throne requires that the calumnies propagated by their common enemies should receive a solemn contradiction. That this grave question - may be properly submitted to the consideration of the Chambers, it is requisite that all our good citizens, and upright and sensible men, should be enlightened as, to the truth on this subject, and should agree in dissipating the cloud of gross errors, and of perfidious •falsehoods, accumulated with so much care, to obscure, in the eyes of the country, the right and the facts of the case. We often say in France, "If the King knew all." The Government of the King says, to-day, " Would that Franee heard the case." France only wishes that the Royal Family shall prese rve , under our constitutional monarchy, the rights and the station which are legally guaranteed to the family of the Di e of Orleans.

PORTSMOUTH,, JULY Eobilliard. was taken into dock here on Saturday to undergo a thorough overhaul, and have her defects made good. The Queen, 110, Captain Sir Charles Sullivan, is in har bour dismantling. Her topgallantmasts are struck, and every preparation made for paying her off, all standing, on 'Friday. ' ' The report gains ground that the crew of the Cam perdown will be turned over to her (the Queen), on her ar rival, mid that the Queen will supersede the Camperdown as flag-ship at the Nore. It has also been remarked by a cer tain morning print, noted for its inaccuracy in such matters, that the Camperdown will be cut down to a 90-gun ship, the same as the Prince Regent, a first rate (120), now being razeed to a ship of that class at this port. It is true the Ad miralty contemplate cutting down that most notorious ship (Camperdown) to a two-decker, but a 90-gun ship she will not make, for at present she carries only 104 gurF.,, and ac cording to the general ratio of such things, to remove her upper deck will take—say 30 guns, which will reduce her to a 74; we believe, however, she will be made t o cart", 80. The Waterwitch, 10 gun brig, recently built by Mr. White, of Cowes, to compete with the new class 12 gun brigs, was taken out of dock on Tuesday, to receive her masts, after which she was re-docked to complete her equipment. No commissions have yet arrived for the experimental squadron. It is currently believed they will all be commis sioned together, when ready for sea. The Sydenham, steam-sloop, Lieutenant-Commander Maple ton, having completed her repairs and alterations, and taken in fuel, sailed on Tuesday evening for Gibraltar and Malta, via Plymouth. On arrival at her destination she will relieve the Alecto, Lieutenant-Commander W. Hoseason, the Alecto having been out nearly four years. The Childers, 16, Commander G. G. Wellesley, arrived at Spithead yesterday, from China, with another million dollars in Sycee silver aboard. She saluted the Admiral, and came into harbour in the afternoon to discharge her precious freight at the Royal Dockyard. The proper authorities are down from the Treasury (we believe) t o rece i ve and forward the same to the Royal Mint. The Wanderer, 16, was dismasted yesterday, preparatory to going into dock for overhaul and repairs. The Pantaloon, 10, is nearly ready for commission to join the experimental squadron. The Camperdown, 104, Captain Martin, sailed from the Noce on Tuesday, for Spithead, with a north-west wind. The Neptune, 120, will supersede the St. Vincent as flag .at this port, if the Queen goes to Sheerxiess as re pOrted: - The Collingwbod, 80, Captain Eden, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir G. F. Seymour, is still in harbour, equipping for sea. She is in course of painting, and will drop down t o S p i t h ead next week, it'is'expected. She is still very deficient of hands, not from a scarcity of tars, but from the circumstance of many of them waiting for the new brigs. The St. Vincent, 120, at Spithead, almost daily practises her crew at gunne r y, i n w hi c h t h ey are very efficient, and give general satisfaction to their officers and Commander-iu- Chief. Vice-Admiral Sir John Chambers White, at Sheerness, has hoisted his flag on board the Ocean, 80, Captain Peter Fisher, during the absence of the Camperdown, and until another ship is appointed to the station. The Resistance troop-ship is in dock undergoing repairs. Two of the smugglers apprehended last week were brought up before the magistrates here on Saturday, were convicted, and fined each 1001., but not being able to pay so heavy a fine, one of them was consigned to gaol for six, and the other, being an old offender, for nine months. The third pri soner, the gun-room steward of the Resistance, was brought up on Tuesday, but escaped through an error in the informa tion, which was drawn up by Mr. Rutherford, solicitor to the Customs, who was sent down to prosecute. The Court-martial on Lieutenant (First) B. A. Wake, late of the Pearl, which was to have taken place on board the Ocean at Sheerness on Monday, was postponed, but we believe it will take place on Friday on board the same ship, or the Poictiers. The charges are preferred by Captain Stop ford, late of the Pearl. The Commwacier:in-Chief, Sir Charles Rowley, very sud— denly returned on Monday from his intended cruise among the Channel Islands in his yacht the Fanny. The gallant and niuch respected Admiral was attacked with sudden ill nose on the second day after he left this port, which is the cause of his premature return. His flag is again flying from the St. Vincent. PRIZE MONEY FOR THE CAPTURE OF SLAVERS. ABOVE 3,6001.

Friday night, between the hours of nine and ten, a fire of a very alarming and destructive character broke out in the premises known as Grange-house, situated in the Grange road, Bermondsey, the property of Mr. Owen. The building was very extensive, having a frontage of nearly 50 feet, Sur a proportionate depth. At the time the flames burst forth Mr. Owen, with his family and servants were up, and em ployed in different parts of the premises; but such was the rapidity with which the fire spread, that they had not suffi cient time to make their escape down the staircases. Fortu nately several persons were quickly at the scene, and having procured ladders, Mrs. Owen was dragged through one of the windows, and lowered into the garden. The rest of the in mates were also rescued, and without receiving any personal injury. The parish engine, with several others belonging te. the London Brigade, were remarkably quick in arriving, as was also one belonging to the West of England Company, Water was soon obtained, and the engines were set to viol - it, but so fiercely did the flames extend that they for sow time defied the utmost exertions of the firemen, and room after room fell a sacrifice to the most destructive of all elements, and when the roof fell in the flames rose to an immense alti tude. Towards half-past-ten, owing principally to the ex haustion of all combustible material, the firemen got the complete mastery of the conflagration, 'it not before the premises were a mass of rui ns , and the, valuable stock of furniture, &c., either consumed or rendered worthless by the action of the fire. SERIOUS FIRE 1 WIIITECHAPEL. Scarcely had the firemen succeeded in extinguishing the disastrous fire in Bermondsey, than intelligence was received& of another conflagration having broken out in Whitechapet Thither several of the Brigade and West of England en gines were despatched, when it was ascertained that the. upper part of the spacious range of premisevtelonging to Mr. Fryett, pawnbroker, carrying on business at No. 16, Whitechapel-road, immediately opposite the church was in flames. The fire originated in the stores, amongst a valuable assortment of pledges. The parish engine was on the spot in, the course of a few minutes ; but .the crowd was so great, that some time elapsed beforf., It could be got into operatiot4 during which the fire cor: ing to the floor abov, anued to burn most fiercely, ascend ", and at the same time des cen di ng t o the One below. T :ne hose of the Brigade engines view car ried up the t -- ::,;ircase, and that of the West of England Oom pany was directed through the windows, and by that means the tremen were enabled to pour a vast torrent of water 1 7 . p0n that part of the premises on fire, which extinguished the flames by half-past eleven o'clock. The damage done at, this fire is very considerable. To add to the misfortune, wA merous poor families residing in the locality will be deprived of the property left in the pharge of Mr. Fryett. The origin of :the fire, like the preceding one, is unknown. A strong body of police of the H division were on the spot, and ren dered essential service, in keeping the immense crowd out of the reach of danger, and in guarding the property of the in— habitants. • CITY' IMPROVEMENTS.—The hoarding at the s m ., minus of the extensive street from Farringdon-stref i t t o Clerkenwell has been removed several yards backward s , b y which eight houses which have been erected and are, fit for occupation arc opened to view.
