WINDSOR, SUNDAY.—Their Royal Highnesses Prince Alfred and the Princess Royal were taken an airing on Friday afternoon on the Castle-terrace. Yesterday morning her Royal Highness the Princeas Royal went out riding on a pony, in the pleasure grounds and the Home Park. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester left her residence, Gloucester House, Piccadilly, on Saturday morning, for Witley Court, Worcestershire, on a visit to her Majesty the Queen Dowager. Her Royal Highness was attended by Lady Georgiana Bathurst, Lady in waiting, and the Hon. Captain Liddell, Comptroller of her Royal Highness's house hold. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and the Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, returned to Kew on Friday evening from town. Dispatches from the Governor of the Mauritius were received on Saturday, at the Colonial-office. Sir Robert Peel arrived in town on Saturday morn ing, from Brighton. Sir James Graham paid a visit to the Right Hon. Baronet. In the afternoon Sir R. Peel left hii residence in Whitehall-gardens, for his seat, Drayton Manor, Staffordshire. Lord and Lady Portman and family have arrived at Farrance's Hotel, Belgrave-street, from their seat, Bryanston, near Blandford. Sir Henry and Lady Pottinger and family honoured Mr. Burford's Panorama of Hong-Kong with a visit on Saturday. Sir Henry expressed himself highly gratified. PARTICULARS OF THE LANDING OF LOUIS PHILIPPE AT CALAIS. - (FRom AN EYE WITNESS.) It was known in Calais, on Tuesday morning, as early as ten o'clock, that his Majesty Louis Philippe would land at that pert, on his return from England, in the course of the morning, and every preparation was made to receive him. The flags were hoisted on all the shipping in the harbour, and on the fortifica tions—the soldiers were under arms—the telegraph was at work, announcing the important intelligence— the whole town was in a bustle ; every one hastening to the pier to catch a glimpse of their Sovereign—the French steam-boat which should have left Calais for England that morning was detained until the arrival of his Majesty should have taken place. It was ex pected that King Louis Philippe would land about twelve o'clock; it was, however, two o'clock before his Majesty arrived. On his landing he was received by the authorities and the people with shouts of " Five le Rol." His Majesty walked down the Rue de la Mer bare-headed, fol lowed by the people, who continued their greetings, which were repeatedly acknowledged by his Majesty. In passineup the Rue de la Mer his Majesty walked at the head of the crowd, by whom he was completely separated from the military, who brought up the rear. The gate leading from the har bour to the Rue de la Mer presented a very .pictu resque appearance. A young girl was on the top of the gate, whQ waived her handkerchief as the King passed. _ Tier welcome was graciously acknowledged by his _Majesty. On arriving at the Hotel de Ville, his Majesty addressed the people, after which he re fared for a short time to refresh himself after the fatigues of the voyage, and at three o'clock the firing of cannon announced his Majesty's departure for While his Majesty was breakfasting at Dover, several ladies promenaded near the Ship Hotel, for the purpose of endeavouring to see him as he passed. On learning their anxiety, he directed the waiter to throw open the doors of his apartment and admit them. The ladies soon after departed, highly gratified with their quasi presentation to the King of the French. DR. WOLFF'S APPEAL TO THE MONARCHS OF EUROPE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The appeal of Dr. Wolff on behalf of the 200,000 persons held in cruel bondage by the King of Bokhara, seems to me to be a matter of vast im portance to the civilised world, if not of disgrace to some portion of it, for suffering the monster so long to revel in his scenes of bloodshed. It would seem that he seizes with impunity all foreigners entering his dominions, for if (as it appears) poor Stoddart made himself amenable to the laws of the tyrant, we hear of no reason for detaining and maltreating Dr. Wolff. Whether the nations of Europe would not do well to respond to the case of Dr. Wolff (making a holy and Christian use of their standing armies, by convincing the barbarous rulers of the earth the duties they owe to humanity, the rescuing of the 200,000 slaves being not the least important object, and thus throwing the great light of civilisation into the dark corners of the earth), remains to be shown (I trust by that powerful engine of free countries, the press). Hoping that Englishmen will not allow the matter to rest where it is, I remain, Sir, Your obedient servant, R. J. R. THE SURREY STAG-HOUNDS. The meeting season is just about to commence in Sur rey, the rain, which has been so anxiously looked for by the lovers of the chase, having at length rendered the country fit for the operations of hunting. The hariers and fox -hounds have commenced operations for two or three weeks, but owing to the dryness of the country and the bad scent, there have been no runs worthy of being recorded. On Friday the stag-hounds had a bye day, and a select few who were in the secret assembled at the Kennel. The pack has been very much improved since last season, and a great many fine hounds have been drafted into it from some of the crack packs throughout the country, and the trial on Friday left very little doubt that this pack, take it altogether, will be one of the fastest in the kingdom. The deer selected for the occa sion was Nimrod, who is unknown in Surrey, but who has often proved himself a clipper with the Queen's hounds. lie was uncarted at Riddlesdam, and he showed that lie understood his business by going straight away at a rattling pace, crossed Hornsey-green, then towards Warlingham, where he headed back to the Godstone road, then back to Riddlesdown, and across the whole length of the downs at a racing pace to Coombe Wood, where there was a slight check, which was found very acceptable by horses and the field, almost all of whom had begun to cry " Bellows to mend." The gallant deer, however, did not give them much respite, for he speedily went away over Purley Downs, and nearly to the southern entrance to Croydon, where he crossed the railway, and again receded back to Crokam Hurst, then over Addington Hills to Shirley, through Shirley Park to Coombe, over Park Hill, and again crossed the rail way. At this time a train was a short distance off, and the driver of the engine put on the steam-whistle to its full strength, and the almost unearthly sound so alarmed the deer that he almost literally flew across the rails. followed by the pack and those of the field whose horses were good enough to enable them to live with the stag, and the dogs soon afterwards ran into him at the bottom of the Greyhound-yard, and he was soon secured and lodged in one of the stables of the inn. The time occu pied in the run was an hour and five minutes, and the wace throughout was very severe. The regular season ith these hounds will commence next week, the meet on Tuesday being at Kennel, and on Saturday at the Spread Eagle, Epsom. ARRIVAL OF THE WEST INDIA MAILS:SOUTH AMPTON, OCT. 20.—The Royal West India Mail-packet the Teviot, Captain Allen, arrived in the river at eight o'clock this morning from the West Indies, and landed her mails, which were sent to London by the ten o'clock trains. Her dates are Demerara Sept. 19, Jamaica Sept. 23, Barbadoes Sept. 24, Grenada Sept. 26, St. Thomas Sept. 30, and Fayal Oct. 13. The Teviot has 36 passengers, and a small quantity of specie. A regular line of packet ships is now forming to sail between this port and Madeira, the first of which, the Dart, Captain Newton, a very fine ship, will leave the dock on the 24th inst., on her outward voyage. The noble steam-packet, the Braganza, Captain Brooks, is now quite ready for sea, and will to-morrow make a :trial trip round the Isle of Wight, having on board a large party, to consist of the Directors of the Oriental Company and their friends: and on the 25th the Braganza will leave for Constanti nople. The Gibraltar packet is hourly expected with the Peninsular mails. SHIPWRECK—PORT STEWART,OCT. 16.—The John Cleveland, bound from Strangford to Portrush, was last night totally wrecked at this place, having mistaken it for her destined port. The sea is breakicg mountains high over the wreck, scarce a vestige of the vessel re maining together. Tho captain and crew saved.—Newry Telegraph. JUSTICES JUSTICE.—In dismissing a charge of in decent assault, alleged to have been committed in the porch of a chapel, during service, the egregious Mr. Greenwood, of the Clerkenwell-office, " cautioned the accused against going into places of divine worship in future." What, in the world, could be in tho sapient head of the magistrate ? He discharged the accused as innocent, and, if innocent, why was he advised not to go into places of divine worship ? If Mr. Greenwood thought him guilty, the caution amounted to this—pursue your filthy practices with more discretion in the choice of place ; a decent sort of admonition for a magistrate. But his Worship had no right to address advice to a dis charged person, implying his guilt. If there was evidence enough to warrant the admonition, there was enough to warrant committal.—E xaminer. REDUCTION or RAILWAY FARES.—WO are pleased to find that the Directors of the London and South- Western Railway havo been compelled to accommo date themselves to the times, and follow out the ex ample set them by the London and Birm ingham Rail way and other compan ies, b y a considerable reduc tion in the fares. We understand that they intend to reduce the fares about twenty per cent. We trust that they also will follow the plan for the building of their second class carriages, the present ones being quite unfit for travelling during the winter months. They ought to be enclosed as they a re on other lines.—Salis bury Journal.— [W o fully concur in the suggestion of our old and valued contemporary. The second-class car riages at present are worse upon the Southampton line than upon any that we have travelled. Many who have journeyed to London by the Exeter mail, have com plained bitterly of the second-class carriages in which they have to travel some 70 miles in the colde.st part of the morning.—Sher bourne Journal. .

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENINO, iDeToiiEn 21, 1844. LITERATURE. EDINBURGH REVIEW. No. CLXIL Longman, London, 1844. In the present Number 'Of this influential Whig oracle eceurs ah article on the subject of " Young England," of whose principles of ac ion, the Re'": viewer speaks in terms of very lofty disdain. This is no more than might have been anticipated, consi dering that "Young England" has More than once expressed itself in no very flattering terms as re spects Whiggery, and even hinted its suspicions that it is a " worn out" creed, as much so as the ultra- Toryism professed and acted on by Lord Eldon, But while ridiculing the views of " Young England," the Reviewer is forced to confess that it is entitled to more attention than it seems to have received, adding that though "it is nowhere numerous, it has never theless had some influence on the proceedings of the house of Commons, owing to the ability of its Mem bers in that House. In the House of Lords it is not avowedly represented by Inure than one lay Peer and a Bishop. But its influence is greater than its num bers, and its organization is on the whole complete," We are then told that it is flighty and extravagant in its views of social and political reform—a change usually made by those who have no more definite ob jection to urge against the principles of a party. But does the charge of extravagance come with pro priety from an advocate of Whig policy ? Have the Whigs never erred in this respect ? Was there no extravagance in Lord John Russell's acknowledge ment of the finality of the Reform Bill, which was like Canute's address to the billows on the sea-coast, " Thus far shalt thou come and no further ?" Was there no extravagance—we use the mildest term—in the 'Whigs delaying their famous, wholesale free-trade declaration, till the moment when they were leaving office, and the country was about to proceed to an election ? The charge of extravagance against." Young England" comes with a peculiar bad grace from a Whig Reviewer, and suggests many recollections which for the credit of his party, it were far better were forgotten. "Early Administrations of George the Third" is a delightful paper from the pen of Mr. Macaulay. It is full of information, evincing an acquaintance, not only with the history, but with the domestic memoirs of the period, is enriched with some graphic sketches of character, and piquant anec dotes, and penned in that easy, fluent, vigorous style which we so much admired in the author's former ar ticles. " Recent Developments of Puseyism" is written in a spirit decidedly inimical to that heresy, of which the Reviewer confidently predicts the speedy downfal, remarking, "that the very progress of high Church principles will precipitate their doom by rousing the human mind, after a period of temporary delusion, to re-examine them. The present retro gression is but the recoil with which truth is pre paring herself for a more energetic spring. It is the reflux, not of the ebbing, but of the advancing wave." " Sir Francis Drake" is an amusing biographical sketch of one of the ablest, and not the most scrupu lous, of our earlier naval adventurers. Of the few remaining articles, the best is a scientific one " On Thunderstorms." We quote from Mr. Macaulay's historical essay a spirited portrait of Henry Fox, first Lord Holland : " There was one man whose sharp and manly logic had often in debate been found a match for the lofty and impassioned rhetoric of Pitt, whose talents for jobbing were not inferior to his talents for debate, whose daunt less spirit shrank from no difficulty or danger, and who was as little troubled with scruples as with fears. Henry Fox, or nobody, could weather the storm which was about to burst. Yet was he a person to whom the Court, even in that extremity, was unwilling to have re course. He had always been regarded as a Whig of the Whigs. He had been the friend and disciple of Wal pole. He had long been connected by close ties with William Duke of Cumberland. By the Tories he was more hated than any man living. So strong was their aversion to him, that when, in the late reign, he at tempted to form a party against the Duke of Newcastle, they had thrown all their weight into Newcastle's scale. By the Scots, Fox was abhorred as the confidential friend of the conqueror of Culloden. He was, on per sonal grounds, most obnoxious to the Princess-Mother. For ho had, immediately after her husband's death, ad vised the late King to take the education of her son, the heir-apparent, entirely out of her hands. He had re cently given, if possible, still deeper offence ; for he had indulged, not without some ground, the ambitious hope, that his beautiful sister•in-law, the Lady Sarah Lennox, might be Queen of England. It had been observed that the King at one time rode every morning by the grounds of Holland House, and that on such occasions Lady Sarah, dressed like a shepherdess at a masquerade, was making hay close to the road, which was then separated by no wall from the lawn. On account of the part which Fox had taken in this singular love affair, he was the only member of the Privy Council who was not sum moned to the meeting at which his Majesty announced his intended marriage with the Princess of Mecklen burg. Of all the statesmen of the age, therefore, it seemed that Fox was the last with whom Bute, the Tory, the Scot, the favourite of the Princess-Mother, could, under any circumstances, act. Yet to Fox Bute was now compelled to apply. " Fox had many noble and amiable qualities, which in private life shone forth in full lustre, and made him dear to his children, to his dependents, and to his friends ; but as a public man ho had no title to esteem. In him the vices which were common to the whole school of Walpole appeared, not perhaps in their worst, but cer tainly in their most prominent form ; for his parliamen tary and official talents made all his faults conspicuous. His courage, his vehement temper, his contempt for ap pearances, led him to display much that others, quite as unscrupulous as himself, covered with a decent veil. Ile was the most unpopular of the statesmen of his time, not because he sinned more than many of them, but because he canted less. " He felt his unpopularity ; but he felt it after the fashion of strong minds. He became, not cautious, but reckless, and faced the rage of the whole nation with a seowl of inflexible defiance. He was born with a sweet and generous temper ; but he had been goaded and baited into a savageness which was not natural to him, and which amazed and shocked those who knew him best. Such was the man to whom Bute, in extreme need, ap plied for succour. " Such succour Fox was not unwilling to afford. Though by no means of an envious temper, he had un doubtedly contemplated tho success and popularity of Pitt with bitter mortification. He thought himself Pitt's match as a debater, and Pitt's superior as a man of busi ness. 'They had long been regarded as well paired rivals. They had started fair in the career of ambition. They had long run side by side. At length Fox had taken the lead, and Pitt had fallen behind. Then had come a sudden turn of fortune, like that in Virgil's foot-race. Fox had stumbled in the mire, and had not only been defeated, but befouled. Pitt had reached the goal, and received the prize. The emoluments of the Pay-office might induce the defeated statesman to submit in silence to the ascendancy of his competitor, but could not satisfy a mind conscious of great powers, and sore from great vexations. As soon, therefore, as a party arose adverse to the war and to the supremacy of the great war minister, the hopes of Fox began to revive. His feuds with the Princess-Mother, with the Scots, with the Tories, he was ready to forget, if by the help of his old enemies ho could now regain the importance which he had lost, and confront Pitt on equal terms." THE STAR and DIAMOND STEA BOAT COMPANIES. On the 30th of August last we commented upon the conduct of two magistrates of Gravesend, who, being, as we then believed, themselves interested in the success of the Diamond Steam-boat Company, had adjudicated upon cases arising out of the rivalry between that Company and the Star Company, and had inflicted penalties upon servants of the Star pro prietors, for acts done to procure passengers for the Star rather than the Diamond boats. We made our comments in the same spirit that we have always noticed apparent acts of oppression, either by magis trates in petty session, or by the highest judges of the realm. If the imputation of private interest or per sonal motives ever attaches to magisterial decisions, there is an end to all respect for the judgments and the judges, and the duty of the public journalist is to expose the slightest appearance of undue bias, and prevent its recurrence. We now deem it, however, due to Messrs. OAKES and SPENCER, the two magis trates alluded to in our remarks, to state that, having since made the fullest inquiry into the real merits of the cases upon which they adjudicated, we find that they are not proprietors of the Diamond Company, and we are convinced that no interested motives ope rated upon them, but that they discharged their duty upon the occasion alluded to with honour and fidelity Private letters have been received from Clausthal, a mining town in the Hartz Forest, in Hanover, giving afflicting accounts of a dreadful conflagration, which broke out in that place, on the night of the 16th of last month, and, in the short space of a few hours, destroyed a church and several public offices, swept away 213 dwell ing-houses and a great number of stables and barns, and left 3,000 of the inhabitants without a roof to shelter them from the rigour of a northern winter, to which the town of Claustlial, owing to its situation on the top of a mountain, is particularly exposed. The condition to which the unfortunate sufferers have thus been suddenly reduced, is the more distressing, as they are most of them poor hard-working miners, and have lost not only their houses and the whole of their furniture and cloth ing, but also the provisions of food and fuel which they had just laid in for the winter. An appeal to the com miseration of their countrymen, and a charitable public, to render them timely assistance under this great cala mity, it is hoped, will not be in vain, and subscriptions for that purpose will b e gra t e f u lly rece i ve d b y t h e Hano verian Consul-General, London. Sin WILLIAM FOLLETT.—We are gratified to be enabled, on the information of a gentleman who returned to this country from Naples on Saturday last, to announce the great benefit th e Att o rney General has deri ve d from his tour in Italy. Dr. Bright has been in company with the Hon. and Learned Gentleman as his medical adviser, and so satisfact or y i s Si r Willi am ' s h ealth, that the pro fessional duties of Dr. Bright are now dispensed with, and that gentleman is on his way to this country. It is deemed necessary for the entire restoration of Sir Wil liam's health that he should remain some months longer . in the genial climate of the south. THE SURVIVING HEROES OF TRArALGAR. This day (Monday) being the anniverw; vi inn battie ever-Mktiura . the one in the hi s t or y o f t hi s country . Th e return of th* time wh en ght October 21, 1805, is an of Trafalgar. vsli9h rou "Nelson's tarbo achieved a glorious day," is fraught with remembrances glorious and ennobling to England and to Englishmen, but With sad tears to many bereaved in the dread melee of partners and of children. Yet While grief mourns over those who are departed, what more pleasing theme, or more worthy of record, than that which revivifies before the eye and ear the name and fame of those who still survive to tell the triumph they partook of. The following is a correct list up to the present time of the officers, both in the navy and ma rines, yet surviving, who were present at Trafalgar, in the order that they served there, with the name of the vessel to each and the various promotions justly awarded to them during the 39 years which have intervened since that day. Death has been busy among them, and has not spared even Nelson's Captain of the Victory—Sir Thomas Hardy ; the oldest remaining officer of that vessel being Mr. Pasco, who received a wound while Lieutenant, and was made Captain in 1811.

PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 20.—The Firebrand, 8, steam frigate, Captain Corry, and the brigs forming the expe rimental squadron, together with the St. Vincent, 120, the Caledonia, 120, and the Queen, 110, aro expected to leave Spithead to-morrow, after the departure of her Majesty and Prince Albert on their cruise of exercise and experiment, it is reported between the coast of Por tugal and the Western Islands. If the Albion, 90, Com modore Lockyer, should be fallen in with, she will join the squadron, the whole under the command of Rear- Admiral W. Bowles, C. 8., who hoisted his flag (blue at the mizen) yesterday morning on board the Caledonia, and saluted that of Admiral Sir Charles Rowley by 15 guns, which the St. Vincent replied to by 11 guns. This appointment, we believe, will not interfere with the re tention of the seat of the gallant Rear-Admiral at the Admiralty Board. All Captains and Commanders on the half-pay list desirous of witnessing the experimental trial sailings may join either of the above three-deckers, and be victualled on the ship's establishment for the cruise (two or three months) by Admiralty order. The Black Eagle, Admiralty steam yacht, Master- Commander S. B. Cook, went out of harbour yesterday about one o'clock, with Sir W. Gage and another mem ber of the Board of Admiralty on board.

The Admi ralty flag was hoisted on board. The Dtedalus, 16, is commissioned at Woolwich by Captain Peter M`Quhae, 1835.

DEVONPORT, OCT. 18.—COURT-MARTIAL.—A court martial was held on board the San Josef, 110, Captain Dixon, yesterday morning, to try Mr. J. Lee, boatswain of the Resistance troop-ship, Commander Patey, on a charge of gross violence and abuse towards John Barnes, the carpenter's mate, who was tried last week and sen tenced to be hanged at the yardarm for striking the above prisoner, Lee. The court, on this occasion, was composed of Admiral Sir D. Milne, G.C.8., Commander in-Chief, President; Rear-Admiral Sir S. Pyrn; Cap tain Dixon, of the San Josef ; Commander Wreford, of the San Josef; and Commander Patey, of the Resistance; G. Eastlake, Deputy Judge Advocate. The Court, having heard the case for the prosecution, and what the prisoner had to urge in his defence, was of opinion the charges had been proved, and sentenced the said John Lee to be dismissed her Majesty's service. The decision of the Lords of the Admiralty, on the recommendation of the Court in the case of Barnes, sentenced to be hung on the 9th inst., is not yet known. The Petrel packet, Lieutenant Cresser, received wages on Wednesday, and will take out the next mail for the Brazils, from Falmouth. The Semiramis, 42, was docked on Monday, for breaking up by contract, which was commenced on Wednesday. The Seagull, 6, was docked on Tuesday, to repair defects. _ _ _ _ _ ----.

Forty labourers have been entered in the Director of Works department in this yard, consequent upon the removal of the convicts. SHEERNESS, OCT. 18.—The Lightning, steam-vessel, arrived on Sunday, from Devonport, with the family and effects of Captain Arthur, superintendent of this dock yard, on board. The Trafalgar, 120, was towed here, from Chatham, Sunday, and is moored off the dockyard, taking in her tanks, &c., and waiting to take the place of the London, 90, now in the basin, to complete stores as an advance ship. Fincham's new stern gives her a considerably improved appearance. Only three able seamen have entered this dockyard for general service since the publication of the order for the entry of 100, a month or too since. EARTHQUAKE IN THE WEST INDIES. Ou the 29 h of August an earthquake was felt in several of the West Indian islands, including St. Vin cent's, Grenada, Trinidad, and British Guiana. The Trinidad paper says 3 " We would record the occurrence of one of the se verest earthquakes which we have ever experienced, and, we believe, that has been felt in Trinidad since that of 1825. About ten minutes past three o'clock in the morning we were roused from our sleep by the violent motion of the house in which we reside, and the loud noise of the creaking beams. The violence of the shock continued to increase, and terminated by a long oscilla • tion of so alarming a nature as to lead us to expect the immediate destruction of the house, as well as of the whole town. Had it ended, as has been the case in for mer earthquakes, by a sudden jerk, nothing, we are sure, could have prevented that catastrophe. The motion, though very violent, was of that kind to which the build ings subject to it would, according to the well-known laws of motion, have accommodated themselves without being thrown down or disruptured. This renewed in stance of a merciful Providence in arresting the awful convilsion will, we trust, be devoutly and gratefully acknowledged by every individual in our community. Our deepest anxiety is now felt on behalf of our neighbours in the adjacent islands—may Heaven have been as merciful to them ! There were local causes sufficient, we apprehend, to have produced the effect, and, perhaps, to have made our island the focus of the powerful agency. The highly electrical state of the atmosphere, the gale, the floods of rain, the sultry weather of the preceding afternoon, and the spring tides, may have had their separate and combined influ ence in its production. At the time the shock occurred the sky was cloudless, the full moon shone in all its ef fulgence, and the air was cool and pleasant at 72 degrees. It was one of the most brilliant of those nights with which the tropics are so freely favoured. When we looked out Venus had just risen like a blazing meteor, and added greatly to the calm grandeur of the scene. There was nothing at the moment to indicate the awful visitation that had just been realised. As might be ex pected, the inhabitants of Port of Spain were generally roused, and many persons were out making inquiries after the safety of their friends and relatives. We have not yet heard whether any damage has been sustained by any buildings in Port of Spain." And a British Guiana journal thus speaks of the oc currence:— . . _ " A strong westerly or land wind, transmitting the most unpleasant sensations through the bones of the invalid, prevailed until about sunset. After dark a vehement tem pest of thunder and lightning came on. Every other mi nute the horizon was one blaze of blue light, of intense brilliancy, which cast an unearthly aspect over the belated wayfarers in the streets, anxious to gain the shelter of the humblest home. Calms succeeded, separated from each other by light, variable, and warm gusts of wind. After the moon had risen, the squalid face of nature in dicated a distempered condition. The luxuriant boughs of our intertropical trees drooped heavily. Had the brute creation been awake, it was just such a season as would have overwhelmed them with instinc tive dread of some unknown calamity near at hand. In different parts of the town some watch dogs howled mournfully. This is no overwrought description. We detail what multitudes witnessed, who were unable to enjoy their wonted repose during those hours of antici pated horror. About half-past three o'clock in the morn ing the earthquake occurred. " A curious effect observable was that produced on water set aside for domestic uses. Vats and tubs, in sufficiently covered over, lost so much by what was spilled from the top during the vibrations, as to be nearly emptied of their contents. "This earthquake, as was to have been anticipated, was felt with the most severity at the penal settlement, the site of which is rocky. The concussion of the buildings themselves and the heavy iron fastenings of their doors and gates created a tremendous uproar, high above which, however, rose the screams and bellowings of the prisoners, praying to be released. One of them, an obdurate ruffian, told the guard who opened his cell as the day dawned, that he had never before known that there was a God Almighty. While the fit of terror lasted, an infant might have led him." NOVEL MODE OF SMUGGLING.—On Saturday after noon, a seaman from on board the Berkshire, a ship re cently arrived in the St. Katherine's Dock, presented himself at the gate for the purpose of being passed out with his luggage and bedding, and though it is not usual to inspect very minutely such articles the gate-keeper was induced to examine the bed rather closely, when he found very neatly stowed away in various parts, a large quantity of nutmegs, tea, and other articles, besides a very pretty workbox of Indian manufacture. The man was immediately taken into custody on a charge of smug gling, as they were evidently concealed with the inten tion of defrauding the revenue. METROPOLITAN DRAPERS' ASSOCIATION.—EARLY CLOSING OF SuoPs.—A public meeting of the Chelsea branch of this association was held in the Temperance llall, Exeter-street, Sloane-street, on Friday evening, the 18th. Mr. Lilwall was called upon to preside, and . . . . stated that the object for which they 'Met was to induce the assistants in other trades to form similar associations. Mr. Cooper, the district secretary, then read the report, from which it appeared that, though one of the smallest, this was the most flourishing district in the metropolis, and, owing to the active exertions of the committee, evening trade was very much diminished. Mr. St. Clair, a member of the central committee, moved the adop- tion of the report. In doing so he observed, that to abridge the hours of business was not, as some imagined, the sole object of the association ; but they had an ulterior object in view, towards which this was but the stepping-stone. This object was to elevate the character of trade, and to improve the moral and intellectual wel fare of the shopman, to do which it was absolutely ne cessary to secure a portion of time from the demands of business. The cause was daily growing in strength, public opinion was decidedly in favour of the movement; none opposed it on principle, but all were glad to wit ness the success attending the exertions of the committee. —(Loud cheers.) In carrying out these measures, the, committee had avoided all constraint towards employers; they had ever used a mild, persuasive tone, and to this might their success be attributed. There were three ways in which the assistant might support the com mittee :—First, by pecuniary contributions ; secondly, personal exertions ; and, thirdly, by acting uprightly to their employers. In conclusion, he remarked, that if only one hour each day was obtained by the exertions of this association, it would amount to 300 hours per year, or one year of ten hours per day in every twelve years. Mr. Greenfield seconded the adoption of the re port, which, being put from the chair, was carried una nimously. Resolutions in accordance with the address were put and agreed to, and the meeting separated. THE MURDER AT DOVER.—Thomas Clark, the man for whose apprehension Government has offered a large reward, for killing a policeman at Dover, was in Maidstone on Monday week. He then went into the Queen Anne public-house, the landlord of which (Mr. Felling) had lived at Canterbury ; and after ordering some beer, went away without having it, but asked for a pipe of tobacco, which was given to him. lie was ob served to look back several times on leaving the house for the direction of the Huntsman. The landlord thought he knew him at the time, but did not recollect, until after ho had gone some time, that it was the man for whom the reward had been offered. He then set out in pursuit of him, and found that he had lit his pipe at the Artichoke ; and traced him some distance in the direc tion of llollingbourne, where he lost all further traces of him. The following is the description of him given in the Government bills :—" He is about 27 years of age, stands about five feet six inches high, stout built, of dark sallow complexion, dark full eyes, straight strongly marked eye-brows, dark bushy hair, dark full whiskers meeting under the chin, and a rouad full face. When last seen had on a pepper and salt blouse, blue cap with leather peak, and boot-shoes laced up in front. Is sup posed to have changed his dress to a blue jacket and trousers." THE LATE FLEET PRlSON.—Tuesday next iS the last day appointed by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests for receiving tenders for the purchase of the late Fleet Prison. Strange things have happened in the Fleet, and it is now about to pass away to sonic better purpose, it is hoped, than the confinement of persons for debt. The present building is sixty years old, having been built after the destruction of the former prison by fire in the Gordon riots of 1780, when the mob was polite enough to send a message of their intention, and to defer their visit until the fol lowing day, on account of the lateness of the hour, which would not suit the convenience of the prisoners. The Fleet Prison, it would seem, has been destroyed three times by fire—once by the followers of Nat Tyler. It is men tioned as early as the 12th century, and in the 16th and 17th centuries it was used as a place of confinement for persons who were persecuted by their brethren, for their religious opinions. It was, consequently, the Star Chamber Prison, and, on the abolition of the Star Cham ber, used exclusively for the confinement of persons for debt, and for contempt of the Court of Chancery, &c. In the former prisons great atrocities were committed on the inmates, and several Parliamentary Committees, in their reports, described the miseries which had been endured. It was proved that the warden, in 1690, had let the place for 1,5001., on the understanding that 2,000 persons were confined, and in order to reimburse the tenant, great extortion was committed ; and, subse quently to that period, persons confined for debt were ironed. Great alterations have gradually been made in the law of debtor and creditor. Persons cannot now be confined for years at the caprice of their creditors, and if they remain long in prison it is the result of their own misconduct. Among the prisoners removed to the Queen's Prison, when the Fleet was closed last year, was one who had been in custody upwards of thirty years. — Sunday Times. IMPORTANT SEIZURE OF ADULTERATING Dit DRUGS IN A BREWERY BY THE EXCISE.—With the o la s t t i% p days a seizure of a most extensi ve an d cha racter has been made by the E xcise o cerjsirtan ffi in an ale and porter brewery of consi derable standing, but in rather an obscure district of the metropolis. From information received, two of the surveying e xaminers general, and an officer of Excise, proceeded:to the premises above alluded to, and upon obtain in g admission they . made a most dili gen t search, and the result prove d that theirinfor mation was perfectly correct , as they found a large uantity of the ingredients commonly used in the adul teration of beer, and which may almost be considered as a substitute, though a most pernicious one, for both malt and hops ; viz., Coculus indicus, grains of paradise, li quorice, &c. ; the whole numberin g six descripti ons o f unwholsome drugs, the whole of which were seized, and samples taken and sealed in the presence of all parties, besides samples of the beer. This caseLitis probable, will be defended by counsel, and will heard at the next sittings of the Court of Commissioners. The number of sick in the military hospitals of Algiers is at thi s moment 2,400. Diarrhcea and dysen tery are the prevailing maladies. PROMOTIONS. Mates—The llon. O. W. M. Lambert ; R. W. 11.

S tr T`, 1 6;l k A THE LATE ATHENIEU Every day brings forth the most .*,.. 1.1 7=a1un of the interest which this great meeting as `tuft sally created, not only in this country, but also on the continent. The London and provincial, as also the Scotch and Irish papers, have almost without ex ception given reports of the proceedings at considerable length, and have nearly all accompanied them with laudatory comments. Most of the leading French jour nals have mentioned the meeting in terms of the warmest commendation ; amongst others Le Commerce, which after a very lucid resume of the benefits which such institutions -are calculated to confer on the commu nity, strongly urges the establishment of an Athe neum at Paris and the principal towns of France. We may expect to see the example generally fol lowed in this country. Letters couched in the most congratulatory terms, upon the success of the soirée and the flourishing condition of the Athe nueum, have, we understand, been received in large numbers from many literary institutions in various parts of England and Scotland, and from numerous distinguished individuals throughout the country. We are also gratified to learn that in many instances these flattering communications have been accompanied by some very substantial tokens—speak ing. volumes for the good effects resulting from such periodical gathering. Amongst some liberal donations received by the Directors subsequent to the soiree,from parties at a distance, we may enumerate one from Montague Gore, Esq., M.P. for Barnstaple, who has sent Edmund Burke's Correspondence, from 1744 to 1797 ; edited by Earl Fitzwilliam and Sir Richard Bourke ; just published, in 4 vols. exquisitely bound, with a most complimentary note; 51. from the iuy. James Hildyard, of London, per Mr. D'lsraeli; and last, though by no means least in interest, a valuabla commercial work from Monsieur Coffy, of Paris, written by that gentleman, who in a most interesting communication writes, that having seen from Mr. D'ls raeli's speech (upon which he bestows a well-merited eulogium) that the library was deficient in commercial works, "he has much pleasure in forwarding a con-. tribution, an example which he hopes to see exten sively followed, and by which means the desideratum of having, in a commercial town like Manchester, ac cess to the best and most authentic works on trade and commerce, will speedily be attained." We are glad to hear that the Directors of the Athenaeum, anxious to testify their feelings of grati tude to Mr. D'lsraeli and the principal guests of the soiree, convened a special meeting of the Board last week, at which, a cordial vote of thanks was unani mously passed to Mr. D'lsraeli, for the important ser vices rendered by him to the Athenaeum. The Directors also, at the same meeting, elected that gentleman a life member of the Institution. A similar compli ment was conferred upon Lord John Manners, M.P., the Hon. George Sydney Smythe, M.P., Thomas M. Gibson, Esq., M.P.,Rowland Esq., and S. C. Hall, Esq. Mr. sraeli has sent a very handsome letter in acknowledgment to Messrs. E. Watkin and P. Berlyn, from which the following extract may in terest our readers : " I have great pleasure in acknowledging the re ceipt of the resolution of the Board of Directors of the Athenaeum, which has made me a life member of that institution. lam very much honoured by this expression of their confidence, and very much grati fied by the terms in which it has been conveyed to me. It is satisfactory to find that the effect of the meeting, not only in Manchester, but throughout the country, and indeed on the Continent, has been such as to assure you that your toil and zeal have not been thrown away." The Hon.., Mr. Smythe thus acknowledges the honour in a letter addressed to Mr. P. Berlyn : " Harley-street, London, Oct. 16, 1844. " My dear Sir,—Will you be good enough to con vey to the Directors of the Manchester Athenaeum my most grateful thanks for the honour which they have conferred upon me? I never shall forget the sympathy, the kindness, the hospitality, with which I was entertained at Manchester, and this last distinction is the more flattering and welcome, that it is connected with so many agreeable reminiscences. Pray remem ber me most cordially to Mr. Watkin, and always believe me, dear Mr. 13erlyn, " Yours most sincerely, " GEORGE SYDNEY SMYTHE." Suitable replies have also been received from the other gentlemen, for which we have not room at present. —Manchester Guardian. FLIGHT OF A POOR-LAW UNION OFFICER.—rt 1$ with regret that we learn that Mr. Richard Lowe, for merly of this city, but who for nearly five years has filled the situation of collector of the rates for the townships of Stourbridge and Cradley, in the Stourbridge Union, last week suddenly absconded from his trust, and, as there is reason to believe, has taken his departure fur Ames ia, leaving a considerable deficiency in his accounts. seems that Mr. Lowe quitted home on Tuesday se'nnight, for Halesowen, to prepare the account of the different hamlets in that parish for the audit, to be held on the day following, informing his wife he should not return on Tuesday night, as he had business to transact at Bir mingham, but should return on Wednesday. On that day he did not attend the audit, as was his duty, iiLlt he had left every document ready for the purpose. Not re turning home at night, his wife became alarmed at his absence, naturally supposing some accident had befallen him. As he did not return ou Thursday, it was thought desirable to send to Birmingham to make inquiries, and Mr. Bristow, a brother officer, proceeded thither. Be fore his return a partial examination of Mr. Lowe's ac counts was made by Mr. Simkiss, the auditor of the union, and it was soon discovered that la the township of Cradley he had received considerable sums of money, which he had not paid over to the account of the union, thus furnishing a reason for his absence. Mr. Bristow, on reaching Birmingham, made diligent in-- quiries, and after much trouble ascertained that Mr. Lowe had taken tea at the Crown Inn, Carr's-lane, and • left about eleven o'clock on Tuesday night, saying he was going to Halesowen. Mr. Bristow then proceeded to the railway station, and found that a person answer ing Mr. Lowe's description had left on Tuesday night by the mail train for Liverpool. On Friday morning Mrs. Lowe received a letter from her husband, dated Liverpool, but containing no information as to what course he intended to pursue; Mrs. Lowe immediately started for Worcester, to endeavour to induce one of her husband's sureties, both of whom reside in this city, to accompany her to Liverpool in search of her husband; but it was a fruitless search, as on Saturday an unsealed note was received, written in pencil on a scrap of paper torn from a memorandum-book, and without a date, as follows:—" I have sailed this morning, and will write as soon as I can.—R. L." It bore the Liverpool post-mark - of the 10th inst. It thus appears that he left on Friday, and it is probable that nothing more will be heard of him till be reaches his destination. An universal feeling of sympathy is manifested for the situation of his wife and fuur children, who are thus unexpectedly aban doned by their natural protector.— Worcester Herald. WILL or LORD KEANE ' G.C.B.—The will of Lord Keane has just been proved in Doctors' Commons. His Lordship by this instrument gives to his wife, Charlotte Maria, his mansion, carriages, wine, several articles of plate, and the sum of 10,0001. To his daughter Char lotte, 5,4001. He observes :—" As my son, Edward Arthur Wellington Keane, is entitled to a pension of 2,0001. a year from Government, I consider him suffi ciently provided for, and bequeath him my Ghuznee sword." To his son George Keane he gives " the sword given me by the King of Caubul, and the Lahore match locks and artillery models brought from India." To his son Hussey Fane Keane, his " Cutch sword and Sind° rifle." Ile observes :—" My collar, ribbon, and badge of the Order of the Bath will have to be given up to the Herald's-office, but ray other stars are my own property; and I bequeath them to my wife." He gives to his sons a bond of Lord Vivian for 10,0001. To his executors he gives 2,0001 to purchase a company in one of her Majesty's regiments for his son John, and direetti them to apply an additional 2,0001: for his benefit till such company is obtained. Te his " faithful servant, Richard Hyman, MC The remainder of his property is be queathed to his wife and two sons, Hussey and George Keane. The executors appointed are Ronald Macdo nald, Esq., George Keane, Esq., and Charles Hopkin son, Esq. (the banker). The property is sworn under 45,0001. The will bears date July, 1844. DEATH OF A PAUPER IN THE ACT Or REMOVAL.— Mr. Baker, sen., on Saturday last, held an inquest at the Cumberland's Head, City-road, on the body of Mary Ann Gathcard, aged 35, a sempstress. It appeared from the evidence, that illness had rendered deceased incapable of working, and reduced her to a state of great'destitu tion. Her malady of course increased, and though she had been at first medically treated by the parish surgeon, she received little benefit, and it was resolved on Thursday afternoon last to remove her to the in firmary of St. Luke's Workhouse. She w as according e ly removed thither in a cab, and as they were ta2unaguhar: into the sick ward, she expired.

COLONIAL MisEziEs.—A Barbadian journalist puts prominently forward, among his " leaders," this pithy and pathetic paragraph:—" The want of rain is now, wo believe, pretty generally felt by our country friends. The dust n the city is exceedingly troublesome to mer chants and householders. Tho heat unfits us for any thing like mental labour." The kindness of Vice-Admiral La Susse in issuing cards of admission, through the Consul at this port, for viewing the splendid ship Gomer, was rewarded by some thoroughly English individuals breaking both the glasse3 over the portraits of the King and Queen of the French in the state saloon.—Hampshire Advertiser.
