country 25 years ago, anti you are still the same.' The King had actually appointed him to this rank three days i.before.his arrival in Paris. Sire,' replied the Duke, I shall henceforth present myself before your Majesty hi this uniform.' " From this period the Duke of Orleans observed the utmost caution in every movement. He probably per • eeived, from the policy pursued by the restored family, and the character and temper of the nation, the course which events would probably take. Upon the return of ISrap , deon, the Duke was alive in his adherence to the Royal cause ; but he directly opposed a proposition to raise a civil war. He endeavoured to retain the soldiers in the army of the north in fidelity to the King, but the magic of the Emperor's name extinguished the faint loyalty of men who had nothing to connect them with the Bourbon family but the abstract idea of legitimacy. He reiigned the command of the army to Marshal Mor tier, and left France, he supposed, for ever, to " bury -himself," as he expressed it, " in retirement and obli vion." He returned to his former residence at Twick enham. The cannon of Waterloo having broken the talisman which seemed to give Napoleon a supernatural command in Europe again restored Louis X VIII. to his throne, but with altered sentiments towards the Duke of Or leans, who was received coldly at Court, and the King made no secret of his limited confidence in him. The Duke, in fact, had even then been looked upon by some as fitter to fill such a throne as that of France than any individual of the elder branch of his family, and the manlier in which he was persecuted by the servile part of the French press increased his popularity. The course which was pursued by the Duke of Or- leans in respect to some of the tyrannical acts of the later years of the reign of Louis XVIII. evinced, per haps, as much policy as humanity and magnanimity. The finishing stroke was given to his popularity by the impolitic ordinance of the King, passed in consequence of the Duke's speech in the Chamber of Peers, that the princes of the blood were not to appear in the Chamber in future, except by special permission. The event which would probably have happened under even a less indiscreet sovereign was accelerated by the weakness of Charles X. and the madness of the Polignac Ministry. A sudden outburst of popular indignation in the metropolis vacated the throne ; the Duke of Or leans was placed in the post of " Lieutenant-General of the Kingdom," and on the 31st of July, 1830, he accom panied the Deputies from the provisional Government from his chateau of Neuilly to Paris, dressed en bour geois, with a tricolor cockade. The Chamber of Depu ties, headed by Lafayette, soon after proceeded to the Palace Royal, and made a tender of the crown to his Royal Highness, who accepted it, regarding the de claration of the Chamber "as the expression of the national will." Here we may fitly close our hasty sketch of a most eventful life. The incidents in the history of Louis Philippe since he has worn a diadem, 1 4 specially the reiterated attempts to assassinate him, will impart to it a high degree of interest in the eyes of posterity, but they are tog recent to- require particular mention. — Times. VISIT OF THE KING OF THE FRENCH TO HER MAJESTY. LA VILLE D'EU, NORMANDY. SUNDAY, OCT. 6.—lt is not yet certain whether the King will embark for England to-morrow morning or to-morrow evening. In the former case his Majesty would be in Portsmouth ere this letter reaches you ; but it is deemed more probable that he will not leave till eight or nine o'clock to-morrow evening. Nothing is changed in the disposition of his Majesty for the visit, which was long since published. Ile will be accompanied only by his youngest son, the Duke of Montpensier, and by M. Guizot, Minister for Foreign Affairs ' • Admiral Mackau, Minister of Marine ; Count li Montavet ; Generals Athalin and De Rumigny ; Col. Chabannes, and three or four other aides-de-camp. Admiral La Susse will command the flotilla which is to escort the royal yacht. Durine , several days of the week just past a consider able number of packages of porcelain, carpets, tapestries, and other articles, intended as presents from the King to her Majesty Queen Victoria and other illustrious personages, arrived here, and were embarked. Thus, although in the character of a private visitor, the King is, it is said, determined during his stay to rival in mu nificence the Emperor of Russia. M. Guizot, who intended leaving Paris for Eu on Friday last, has not yet arrived. He is hourly expected, however. The Marquis of Lansdowne was here yes day (on his way from Paris to London). He merely left his card at the Chateau, and did not see the King. The Queen of the French and Madame Adelaide (the King's sister) will continue to reside at Eu until the King's return. A large military force is here, and will remain until the King shall have left for Paris. A horrible occurence took place here on Thursday afternoon, and has very considerably damped the plea sure of all in Eu. While the whole of the population were occupied witnessing the arrival of the Royal Family, a woman was robbed and murdered in her apartment. The perpetrators of the crime are not yet discovered. This is the King's birth-day, but it is only observed en famille, the public celebration of his Majesty's fete being on the Ist of May, his saint's nameday (St. Philippe). THREE o'CLocic.—lt is determined that the departure of his Majesty from Treport shall take place to-morrow night at eight o'clock. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 7. A special meeting of the Town Council, convened by the Mayor, was held this morning, when the following letter from the Count St. Aulaire to the Earl of Aber deen, touching the application of the Mayor and corpo ration of Portsmouth to his Majesty Louis Philippe to receive an address from the loyal inhabitants of Ports mouth, was read by the Town Clerk:— " Londres, le 4 Octre. " My Lord.—Je ut'empresse d'annoncer I V.

" S. AULAIRE. " Son E. Le Comte d' Aberdeen." (Translation.) London, the 4th October. "My Lora,—l hasten to.announce to your Excelloncy that the letter which was addressed to my Embassy by the Mayor of Portsmouth, expressive of the desire felt by the Municipal Authorities to present an address of felicitation to the King upon his arrival in England, has been laid before his Majesty. I have it in command to acquaint the Mayor of Portsmouth that the King will receive this address with great pleasure, and I shall feel much obliged to your Excellency if you will have the goodness to communicate to this functionary the express terms in which his Majesty expressed his acquiescence. " How few soever perhaps may be," says the King, in his letter, "the moments which will elapse between my disembarkation, and my departure for Windsor, I appre ciate too highly the request of the Municipal Body of Portsmouth not to devote to them the necessary time, and I shall receive their address with the greatest pleasure. " ST. AULAIRE. " To his Excellency the Earl of Aberdeen." The letter was received with the most lively feelings of satisfaction by the assembled council, and an address immediately framed, which will be presented on board the Royal yacht on entering the harbour to-morrow. The Mutine, 12, Commander Crawford ; Espiegle, 12, Commander Thompson ; Daring, 12, Commander Matson ; Osprey, 12. Commander Patten ; Waterwitch, 10, Commander Birch ; Cruiser, 16, Commander Fan shawe ; Flying Fish, 12, Commander Harris ; Panta loon, 10, Commander Wilson ; forming the experimental squadron, weighed anchor, and took up their respective positions, by stretching over towards the French coast this morning. The object of this is to give the earliest intimation to the Admiralty authorities of the approach of the Royal squadron. Each ship will salute as the Royal yacht passes, and then fall into the wake of the others back to Spithead, where the St. Vincent, 120, and Queen, 110, remain to receive the King, and do the principal honours. The Earl of Haddington and other members of the Board' of Admiralty are expected here by the 5 o'clock train this evening. The guns upon the platform battery are charged with a salute, which will announce the ar rival of their Lordships. His Royal Highness Prince Albert will arrive by special train to-morrow morning to receive his Majesty King Louis Philippe on landing at the Royal Clarence Victualling Establishment. The Ir - C . toria and Albert, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, arrived this morning from Woolwich, and came intO harbour, to await the arrival of her Majesty and Consort, and convey them to Osborne House. Thi Hecla steam-sloop, Commander Duffel, arrived at Spithtad.this morning from Woolwich, and came into harbour. The Princess Royal, transport, arrived yesterday from Rio and the Cape, but brings no intelligence of any im portance. The Chester and Holyhead Railway have finally negotiated their bargain with Government for the mail service on the line. The Company are to convey two up and two down mails daily, for five years, for a pay ment of 30,0001. per annum ; and for a further term of seven years at 30,000/. per annum as a maximum, but which maximum shall be subject to reduction to any sum not less than ls. 2 1-16 d. per single mile (equal to about 7,2701. per annum), fluctuating between these two amounts according to the sum required to allow a return of 5 per cent, on the capital subscribed. But in no case, whatever the return to the Company may be, is the pay ment by her Majesty's Government, during the said seven years, to exceed 30,000/. per annum, nor be less than the sum of Is. 2,,1-16d. per single mile. GIGANTIC &az/tn.—We have heard that the prac ticability of connecting the opposite shores of the Mer sey.by a stupendous chain bridge is under consideration. It is said that, by the formation of a viaduct, on the principle of an inclined plane, on arches, commencing at the top of James-street, to the margin of the river, a sufficient elevation may be obtained. A similar erection on the Woodside bank of the river would, of course, be requisite. Our active and enterprising Cheshire neigh bours would, no doubt. readily assist in promoting a pro ject so magnificent. Such a work would throw all other suspension bridges into the shade, and be a world's wonder. Of its practicability no doubt, we believe, is en tertained, and it will be allowed that the enterprise is worthy the combined energies of Liverpool and Birken-. bead.—Liverpool Albion.

The Irish journals are still full, as might be ex pected, of the subject of Repeal, and some even of those which advocate Tory, or rather Ministerial opinions, candidly acknowledge the rapid progress which the question has recently made among men of all parties. Mark the significant language of the Drogheda Conservative !—" In proportion as the Pro testants become divided and disgusted with English ingratitude, the cause of Repeal advances with giant strides. For we must not in candour pass over the many respectable Protestants who have lately joined the Association, nor overlook the number who are Repealers in their hearts, and who are only restrained from the avowal by fear of the contempt of their party. Every man of judgment must be aware that a change of things is inevitable ; we cannot return to the polity of former years, neither can we remain stationary, for the people are endowed with a power which they seem determined to use to the utmost. A change, then, being inevitable, it becomes the bounden duty of all to consider how such can be brought about with the least Possible injury. Repeal would create Romish ascendancy--Federalism lead to dissension, and ulti mately to Repeal—therefore the assembly of the Bri tish Parliament in Ireland every three years is the safest and surest remedy for the evils with which we are threatened." The language of the above passage is of more than ordinary import, when we consider the quarter whence it emanates. Conceive a l'ory journal —and Toryism is nowhere so obstinate, bigoted, and immitigable as in Ireland—deliberately con fessing that the policy of former years can no longer be maintained, and that a change is inevitable! Why, this is virtually surrendering the first great principle of Irish Toryism—an abhorrence of innovation ! It is not only giving up the outer line of ramparts, but the very citadel itself into the hands of the enemy ! If change be " inevitable," aw ay goes the long-cherished Tory theory of political immutability, and the entire I fabric falls with a stunning crash to the ground. But ten—nav, but five short years ago—who would have believed that a journal like the Drogheda Conserva tive would have openly acknowledged the defeat of its party, and that the policy which it had pursued with inflAible consistency for the best part of half a cen tury, could no longer be persisted in ? Having once been brought to confess their humiliation and admit the sad necessity of change, the Irish Tories will henceforth be far from stiff or unyielding in their convictions ; and we should not be at all surprised, were they—under the combined influence of disgust and despair—to become just as zealous innovators as they once were the reverse. Ce n'est que le premier pas qui coute. It is the first step only that is the great difficulty. When once that has been taken, and the deep-rooted prejudices of years surrendered, a rapid progress fol lows almost as a matter of course. CESAR never halted after he had passed the Rubicon. It was on its banks he paused, hesitating whether or not to cross it. In admitting that change is inevitable, the Tories have already crossed the Rubicon, and as to go back is impossible, and to halt where they now are, is only to cover themselves with ridicule, and exhibit their weakness in the most pitiable light, who can doubt that they will press fiercely onward ? We quite agree with our Drogheda Contemporary that "Fede ralism would lead ultimately to Repeal"—and will even go further, and state our firm conviction, that Repeal would not merely be the ultimate, but that it would be the immediate consequence of such a tame, shilly-shally, inefficient measure. A Federal Parlia ment would not have been three months in existence, before the excited masses of the Irish population, finding that it could do little or nothing, where in the wildness of their hopes they had expected it would do everything, would regard it with feelings of the most sovereign contempt, and clamour more vehemently than ever for a Repeal of the Union—that is to say, for a dismemberment of the empire, for the two things are synonimous. As respects the project of a triennial Parliament in Dublin, of which the Drogheda Conservative approves, our objection to this scheme is not so much that it is dangerous, as that it is impractable. The Court—the Law—the Aris• tocracy—and all that vast body of traders who live by ministering to the fashionable tastes of the day—all these must of necessity follow in the train of the Parliament ; and once in every three years, London must consent to become a second-rate metropolis, and see her su premacy transferred to Dublin. But the inconveni ence of the project would not stop here. As a matter of course, Scotland would insist—why should she not ?—on a Parliament being held every three years in Edinburgh ; and seeing how successful agitation had been in Ireland, she would begin to play the same game on her own account, and thus we should have the national jealousies which have been laid aside for years revived with all their ancient acrimony. It is a praise always to be conceded to our brethren of Scotland, that their opinions on all great questions of domestic policy and interest are eminently entitled to respect and consideration. The sober, and usually accurate, judgment at which they arrive, when such matters become the subjects of general discussion, seems to be the result of a certain intuitive sagacity—sharpened and expanded by the sound elementary education so largely diffused among them. It is seldom that we have had to note exceptions to this rule. When they do occur, therefore, they are the more startling, by their contrast with the ordinary course of those recorded views which have challenged our observation. Now, one of these exceptions, we must fairly own, we identify with the general de meanour of the Scottish public throughout the whole of the proceedings and debates that ensued, in Eng land, on the introduction by Sir ROBERT PEEL, last session, of the Bank Charter Renewal Bill. Whilst it was still uncertain whether—or rather, whilst it was still assumed that—the Premier did propose to extend the application of his ill-conditioned measure to Scotland, the laid spirit of Sir Mungo Malgrow , ther was raised, and walked abroad again. All the North was up in arms against the apprehended de scent of the wrong-headed First Lord of the Trea sury on a system, under which all Scotland had prospered, from its first establishment, just a century and a half ago, down to 1844, in the extension of its agriculture and its commerce, and the steadily increas ing opulence and enterprise of its people. Sir ROBERT —if his words were intended to carry their ordinary acceptation—had, most undoubtedly, in *tie of those didactic prosiectiones with which he favoured the House of Commons before bringing in his Bill, inti ' mated his intention to apply it to the Northern as well as the Southern division of Great Britain. But the wily " manager" soon found, from very unmistakeable indications of gathering displeasure, that he must not attempt the twofold experiment; that the discreeter, if not the more generous and open—part, would be, to secure one victim at time. an,i b y allowing the other to look on unscathed, for a season, the better seduce him into a delusive belief of his own security from a similar fate. Sir ROBERT, therefore, at first jesuitically replied to a brief and distinct question— , that it was not, at present, intended to apply the ope ration "of the Bill to Scotland and its Banks." The bait was seized. The opposition of the Scotch cooled down to a passive indifference to the fate of the English banks, and this indifference enured, even after the Premier, having " dispatched the business" of the latter, announced, with some degree of un guarded triumph, " that, in the ensuing session, he would move Parliament to enact a similar treatment for Scotland." With these circumstances fresh in our memory, we cannot concur with the Morning Post in holding that, " in their attention to all matters con 'fleeted with the currency of their country, the Scotch set an example to the English which the latter would do well to follow." And when our Contemporary affirms that if the public, here, were as much alive as the Scotch•are " to the interests of the country as in fluenced by the currency, they might have escaped the fatal consequences which are likely to arise from the operation of the recent Bank Charter Act," we beg to remind him, that, to the selfish and erroneous holding back, which we have described, of the Scotch banking interest, must be mainly ascribed the issue of that fruitless, but prompt struggle, which the English banking interest sustained against the pretensions of the Bill in question. It is a more pleasing duty, now, to notice a step in a better direction, taken by a county meeting, on this new Bank Act, which was held at Edinburgh on Tuesday last. At that meeting (where, by the bye, Sir GEORGE CLERK WO3 present, and, for aught that appears, not dissenting) certain resolutions, condemna tory of any interference with the existing banking system in Scotland, were brought forward by Sir GrnsoN CRAIG, Bart. (father of the Hon. Member of that name who sits for Edinburgh). These reaolu• tions we publish in another column. A very brief summary of their more salient points will awaken in our readers the same conviction which the resolutions have excited in us—that the mind of Scotland is once more keenly awake to the dangers to be apprehended from that most rash and uncalled-for tampering with the representative capital of the kingdom, which they so emphatically denounce. No. 1 declares that the Scottish system, which has been carried on ever since 1695, with the addition of 11. notes since 1704, has met with the cordial support of all classes, especially the agricultural and commercial community of Scot land. No. 2 affirms, that no adequate reason has been assigned for the projected interference with a system which has worked thus advantageously for all parties. No. 3 illustrates the perfect stability and security of the banks, at present in operation in Scotland with their paid-up capital of, in the aggregate, 12,000,0001., and their circulation, little exceeding 2,800,0001. No. 4 raises a strong argument to prove that, with this very moderate circulation as compared with paid-up capital, gold, which is scarcely known in the circula tion of the country, is not required either by the habits of the people, or to supplement the peculiar mode which obtains among them of operating on cash accounts ; a mode which has actually diminished the currency, coincidently with the numerical increase of Scottish banks. No. .5 shows that the bank-note cir culation of Scotland is much less than that of Eng land, whether in proportion to the population or the general business of the country; and No. 6, that the Scottish circulation " has no direct dependence on foreign exchanges, but varies with the demands of trade, or with the regular recurrence qf terms and great cattle markets." (Would to GOD that Sir ROBERT PEEL could have digested plain practical good sense like this, instead of experimenting on the analogous case of the English circulation, with the crotchetty nos trums of the bullionists, and of his own financial pe dantry !) No. 7 sets forth some local reasons of peculiar force why the change from a paper to a bullion circulation in Scotland would be attended i with WA - the vexation to the people, besides being utterly unnewsary. No. 8 suggests the utter failure of general accommodation which would ensue, in Scotland, on the withdrawal of bank-notes below 51.; seeing that paper of the lower denominations forms nearly three-fifths of the whole circulation of Scot land; and it demonstrates, on the other hand, the in calculable benefit which the existing system has pro duced, by developing all the great resources of that country. No. 9 ably concludes these pleas for the continued maintenance of that system, by the remark that it has stood the tests of the rebellions of 1715 and 1745, of the crisis produced by the French Re volution, of the panic in England of 1825, of the great failures among us in 1837, and the critical period of 1839-40. We are delighted to perceive that the re presentatives of the whole "county interest," as it is called, of Scotland, are instructed to give their vigor ous support, in Parliament, to representations and remonstrances of this kind against the extension of the Bill of last session to Scotland. Should these be successful, it will of course be telt that what is thus bad for Scotland, cannot be good fur England and Wales, or for Ireland; and so we may hope for the repeal of the Premier's most obnoxious legislation of 1844 on banking. The Madrid Gazette, of the 30th ult., announces an interview on the 23d between the QUEEN and a deputation from the province of Guipuzcoa. Don PEDRO DE ARANA thus addressed her MAJESTY : " Madam,—Circumstances, independent of my will, have hitherto prevented my expressing to you the feel ings of respect and profound gratitude which the feral deputation of your very faithful province of Guipuzcoa, re-established by your royal decree of the 4th of July last, commissioned me, on the 26th of the same month, to convey to your Majesty. This deputation, Madam, is the same that governed the country in the fatal month of October, 1841. Faithful to your Majesty and to your august mother, it nobly fell with the generous men who, at that memorable and unfortunate period attempted, more bravely than successfully, to save the precious object which the nation later reconquered. With that deputation also fell the ancient and liberal institutions of the Basque provinces—patterns of the wisdom of past times, and monuments of government and administra tion which might afford instruction to modern times. On commencing the work of restoration, your Majesty has given us to understaud that, as a just and religious Sovereign, you respect the sanction of the legislative power, and that your noble heart will not forget the sacrifices made in your cause and that of the country. We therefore beg your Majesty to accept our sincerest thanks for this act of justice—the prelude, no doubt, to other acts more important still. May your Majesty be assured that the foral deputation of Guipuzcoa will never forget such a blessing." The QUEEN replied— "It is extremely agreeable to me to hear from thy mouth the homage done me by the foral deputation of our most faithful provinces of Guipuscoa. I am sot ignorant of the exalted deeds whereby they have ac quired claims to my gratitude in times unfortunate to the monarchy, and the share they had in those ever memorable events. I thank you for your loyalty, which has never belied itself. I hope I shall be able to acknow ledge it by labouring for your happiness." It was generally believed that the Marquis DE MIRAFLORES would be President of the Senate. Madrid Bourse on the 30th.—Three per Cents, for cash, 27 1.5-16; for account, 28 ; Five per Cents, for cash, 201. ; for account, 21. The King of the FRENCH, on his arrival at the Chateau d'Eu, granted an amnesty to fifty State pri soners, confined chiefly for political offences. The fact is thus announced in the Journal des Debats:— " The KING, in commemoration of the late events in Morocco, has just signed at the Chateau d'Eu an ordonnance, granting full and entire pardon to fifty political prisoners. The royal clemency is extended to two classes—first, to all the individuals whose term of imprisonment would expire in the year 1847, or before that period; and, second, to a certain number of individuals condemned to punishments much lon ger, some of them extending to twenty years, and even to transportation." Neither this, however, nor any act of grace on the part of his MAJESTY, will re concile the Opposition press to LOUIS PHILIPPE, or make them pardon him for daring td cross the Chan nel and visit the young Queen of ENGLAND. M. THUM'S journal is more furious than ever on the subject. If the two countries were on the eve of a bloody war, more exciting language could not be used for stirring up the worst passions of the human breast, " The voyage of the KING to England," says the Censtihtionnel, "undertaken at the present moment, has not the character of a simple exchange of politeness with the Queen of ENGLAND ; and whatever care may be taken to give to this visit an air of being purely personal, public opinion in both countries will, with reason, see in it an act of a political character. What can the KING do in England at such a moment ? At a time when, at the instigation of the English, brave Frenchmen are having their throats cut without benefit to their country ? How could the Ministry have advised such a deplorable voyage ? Why have they not rather laid hold of every plausible excuse to postpone it ? If they had been a little more jealous of the honour of France; if the Government had a just sentiment of what becomes her dignity, would they have gone to solicit in England an ap pearance of a good understanding, which no longer exists ? When they shall have received some praises in the English journals, some applause from the Eng lish public, some skilful flatteries from the Court of England, they will return to France, mystified and content. Our Ministerial journals will be charged to extol English hospitality, and to congratulate the two countries on their union, and fresh ,sacrifices will be made at Otaheite or elsewhere. Paltry vanity, and profound weakness—a search after trifling suc cesses, and indifference to the true glory of the coun try, are the true character of our Government. It abandons the honour and the interests of the country to gratify itself with the insignificant ovations pre pared for it by our neighbours ; it has created a Duke dom of Isly, and at the same time abandons the fruits of the victory. The Government desire to revive the entente cordiale, and the English alliance is spoken of! The state of public feeling in France cannot be known to them. Let them go through the provinces and interrogate, not our Opposition men, but those who from calculation or from indifference give their votes to Ministerial Deputies, and they will every where find a feeling of discontent and irritation against the English Government. Nothing can be less popular than this entente cordiale, which has pro. duced for us nothing but embarrassment, humiliations, and the disavowal of the acts of our brave officers." After other similar phrases the article thus con• eludes : " The entente cordiale is then, as it is understood, a vain word, and has never produced but sacrifices on one .ide or other for small objects. The English Ministers have created embarrassments fur themselves, the French Ministers have accepted humiliation, the two nations art discontented in different degrees. It was a forced mar riage, aed is always on the point of being dissolved for incompatibility of temper. What then is the King to do in England ? To renew false appearances ? To simu late an alliance which our Ministers did not choose te: accept when it would have been glorious and profitable to us, and of which they do not appear to be jealous but when it humbles us ? to accept the plaudits of England at the moment when the subjects of England are killing the French at Otaheite ? The Ministry which recom mended this journey has seldom given the King ethic. more improper or impolitic. Does M. Guizut think thee! the Administration can never be sufficiently unpopular ?" The Journal du Havre exhibits the same hostile spirit : - • - - "We are assured by a person connected with the Chancery of the Legion of Honour, that the Grand Cor don of the Order founded by Napoleon, is to be conferred by the King in person, before he quits Windsor, upon the principal Ministers of Victoria ; among others Robert Peel and Aberdeen. This will be in the way of return fur the Garter, which is to be conferred on the King. This resolution, which has been adopted in t high quarter, has excited a clamour even among thost who are accustomed to what is passing. They asked whether the prejudices of the people would not be roused hearing of such a piece of news ? M. Guizot replied that he answered for everything, and that before tht country and Chambers, one must savoir tout our." The Semaphore de Marseilles of the 3d instant, states that the Duke D'AUMALB arrived at Bona or the 18th of September, on his way to France. Tht Prince was met by the Mayor of the town, and in re ply to an address said— " I am very grateful to you for the flattering senti ments you express towards me and my family. Tin King has long demonstrated the lively interest he takes in the future welfare of Algeria ; he proved it 1:13 actions as well as words, and will be happy to hear tha+ his intentions are so well apprec i at e d.

(THIS DAY ) A court, for the registration of voters for the county of Middlesex, residing within the City of London, was held this day at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, before the Revising Barrister, Mr. L. Shadwell. Mr. Coppock and Mr. James appeared fur the Liberals, and Mr. Payne for the Conservatives. Joseph Turnly, of the parish of All-hallows, Barking, was objected to by Mr. Payne, and not appearing to sustain his claim, his name was struck out. Mr. James objected to the claim of John Garrett, of All. hallows the Great.—The objection was disallowed. Amos Losely, of the same parish, was objected to by Mr. Payne. Mr. Losely not having appeared, his name was struck out of the list. Henry Bettesworth, of Bank street, Dover, who claimed out of property in All-hallows the Less, was objected to by Mr. James.—The claim was snowed. Jeffrey Joseph Shakerly was objected to by Mr. James, but the objection was disallowed. Charles Nix, who claimed from the parish of Under shaft, was struck out of the list. Mr. James objected to Samuel Bell and Wm. Sharpe, of the parish of St. Andrew by the Wardrobe. The objecticns were allowed, and the names struck out. Charles Hancock, of the same parish, was objected to by Mr. Payne.—The objection was allowed. Mr. James objected to J. Backlyton and George Tuff nel, whose names were struck out. William Bonsey, who sought to register out of No. 2, Copthall-court, was objected to by Mr. Coppock. It ap peared that Mr. Bonsey was rated for the house and oc cupied it. His claim was disallowed. Mr. Horace Twiss came to support his claim to be placed on the registry. He said he had now been sum moned to appear here for three or four years, and his claim was always disallowed. He came forward to-day to put an end to this vexatious proceeding. His object was to have costs to put an end to this. In answer to Mr. Payne, Mr. Twiss said he resided at 5, Park-place, and had a place at Paper-buildings in the Temple, which he did not occupy. Mr. Coppock said there was no objection to Mr. Twigs on that ground. His right to be placed on the register would depend upon an objection which included many other votes besides Mr. Twiss's. The objection was whether the Temple claimants claimed in the right parish, and if Mr. Twiss's vote fell by the same objection as the votes of others he could not complain. Mr. Twiss said that was all fair, and then left the Court. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.) IN THE MATTER OF JOHN WETENHALL. The bankrupt, a dealer on the Stock Exchange, was this day examined at considerable length by Mr. Hardy, respecting the application of some considerable sums, the produce of stock, sold out on behalf of Lady Hayes. It appeared, in the course of examination, that the bankrupt had placed one sum in the London and West minster Bank in the joint names of Mr. Banner and him self, he having been ordered by her Ladyship to receive his instructions from the former gentleman, but that another sum of 1,900/. was paid into J ones, Loyd, and Co., on the Ist of April, 1843,in his own name only, while upon the same day a letter was written to her Ladyship, stating that the amount had been paid into the London and Westminster Bank as usual. It also appeared that above 1,100/. was drawn out without her Ladyship being in formed of the transaction. The bankrupt said that he did all this by the direction of Mr. Banner. The COMMISSIONER characterised the transaction as a gross conspiracy, and would adjourn the bankrupt's further examination sine die, which was done accordingly. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before the ASSISTANT JUDGE and a full Bench of Magistrates.) This day being appointed for hearing appeals, the court was crowded to excess by persons anxious to hear the decision of the court in the appeal made against the conviction for gambling in the house, No. 16, Leicester street, which excited so much interest about six or seven months ago. After the disposal of a number of parish appeals, in which there appeared not the slightest point of general interest, the case, " Appeal of John Harlewe against a conviction of E. H. Maltby, Esq.," was called on. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Montague Chambers appeared for the respondents, and Mr. Clarkson for the appellants. Mr. BODKIN, after raising several technical objections as to the jurisdiction of the Court in Quarter Session as sembled, which were overruled after much discussion, proceeded to briefly state the facts of the case as fol. lows :—The appellant, John Harlowe, kept a cigar shop at the house, No. 16, Leicester-street, being part of a house of which he was proprietor, and the upper part of which was used as a common gaming house, and with which and his shop a private door opened. Although he was not proved to have been gaming in the upper part of the house, or taking part in any of the trans actions going on there, yet he was seen coming out of it in his shirt sleeves continually shortly before the police broke in, and be (Mr. Bodkin) thought that under such circumstances the conviction was good. The Learned Counsel then called Mr. In spector Baker, of the C division of police, who detailed all the facts of the caption, which must be fresh in the memory of our readers, and was subjected to a searching cross-examination by Mr. Clarkson. A map of the premises having been produced in Court, The Assistant JUDGE, after a consultation with the Bench, considered that the fact of the existence of a direct communication between the two houses had not been sufficiently proved, and decided that the conviction should be quashed. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) A young man, named John Kelly, was charged with committing a most violent and unprovoked assault on William Long last night. The complainant, who appeared in Court with a fear ful gash under his eye, stated that he was going on his way home through Drury-lane last night, about eleven o'clock, when he was stopped by two women. One of them laid h o ld o f t h e co ll ar o f hi s coat and held him while the other attempted to force her hand into his pocket. He resisted them, and after a short struggle he succeeded in pushing them away . from him. Imme diately upon his doing so, the prisoner came up and struck him a tremendous blow in the eye, which felled him to the ground. The two women ran away, and the prisoner was about to follow them, when a policem an happened to come up and took the prisoner into custody. The officer stated that the prisoner was very violent on his road to the station-house, and several times at tempted to kick the complainant. The prisoner, iu his defence, denied the whole charge, and said he had never struck the complainant at all. He believed the constable had a spite against him, and that was the reason he had been taken i n t o custo d y. Mr. JARDINE said, it was very evident that a most brutal assault had been committed, an d th ere f ore he should sentence the prisoner to fourteen days' impri sonment. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) A decent-looking elderly man, who gave the name of James Brown, was charged with the following daring robbery : On the previous night the prisoner went into the tap room of the Guildford Arms, Guildford -street, Russell .quare, and after remaining there a few minutes walked down to the cellar, opened the door and very deliberately stowed away in his pockets several bottles of Guinness's stout, &c , until he almost resembled the bee in the fable, clogged to embarrassment with the plunder. Meantime Mr. White, the landlord, who had observed him from the commencement allowed him to proceed .out of the cellar, and when advancing towards the street-door seized him, sent for a policeman, and gave him into custody. On the way to the station-house he had the assurance to say the bottles were his own, and defied the landlord to identify them. He was fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Stephen Austin, a young man of decent appearance, was charged with being drunk, and causing a great dis turbance at the house of Mr. Wisp, a tradesman, living in Carnaby•street, Carnaby-market, and also with doing certain wilful damage. The housekeeper of the"complainant stated, that the prisoner came to the house b e t ween n i ne and ten o ' clock last night, and attempted to force his way into the apart- Mews of the lodgers, a man and his wife living on the second floor, in doing which he was so extremely violent that he actually broke a hole through the wall. As he would not be pacified he was given into the custody of the police. Mr. MALTBY (to the prisoner)—What business had you at the complainant's house ? Prisoner— I went there for my wife. It is her who is now living in the second floor with another man, who passes for her husband. I was living in Cambridge, and had a good business, but in the beginning of the year I came to London on business, and during my absence my faithless wife robbed me of my furniture and other property to a very considerable amount, and eloped with a young man lodger. Curses upon all young men lodgers ! I'll never take any of them in again.— (Laughter.) I only succeeded in tracing her out yes terday. Mr. MALTBY—WeII, but that is no reason why you should injure the complainant's property. Prisoner—Certainly not. I'll make good: the damage I have done. Mr. MAI.T BY—Well, if you will undertake to do that you are discharged, but you must not create any more disturbance at the complainant's house. Prisoner--But my property is there. How am Ito get it? Mr. Maltby did not reply, and the prisoner retired. UNION-HALL.--(THIS DAY.) James Roberts, a clock and watchmaker, lately re siding in Unioa-street, Southwark, was charged before Mr. Cottingham, with unlawfully detaining a great num ber of watches entrusted to him for the purpose of re pairing. It appeared that the prisoner established a shop in the above street, and advertised to repair clocks and watches in the most accurate manner, at very reduced prices, and that he suddenly absconded, taking with him the whole of the watches entrusted him to repair. Winch, the policeman, who held the warrant against the prisoner, said that the prisoner connected himself with a religious congregation in the neighbou;hood, a great number of wham he victimised. It 1,-;as discovered that he had set up in the above business in Whitechapel, and had also succeeded in obtaining possession of a eat number of watches, the most of which he had disposed of. Mr. Corrnicuam remanded the prisoner until Friday. DEPARTURE OF THE KING OF THE FRENCH FROM EU FOR ENGLAND. (From the Times.) EU (NORMANDY), OCT. 7, 1844. The embarkation of the King is fixed for this even ing, at half. past six. There being a somewhat ad verse wind, the flotilla will not, it is believed, reach Portsmouth in less than ten hours. Even so you will receive an account of his Majesty landing hi England very soon after the announcement of his departure from France. Considerable surprise and some uneasiness were occasioned here this morning by the non-arrival of M. Guizot. At five o'clock yesterday afternoon, a French Cabinet courier arrived here from Lon don, with dispatches for M. Guizot from Count St. Aulaire, having performed the journey in little more than twenty hours. This morning a courier from Paris reached the Chateau, also, with dispatches for him ; the latter fact proving that the Minister had left that city for Eu. It was not, however, until a quarter to ten o'clock this morning that M. Guizot arrived. On inquiry it appeared that about three leagues and a half this side of Rouen, one of the wheels of his carriage got out of order, ceasing to turn on the axle; all attempts to move it were vain. Messengers were accordingly sent in search of work men to set it right, or to find another vehicle ; but it was not until the Minister had been delayed more than five hours that a carriage could be pnicured. He appears, not withstanding this vexatious occur rence, in excellent health. All is ready for the voyage. The presents for her Majesty and the Royal Family, including several packages of lace, and a superb carabine, or musket (by Caron), for his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, are all shipped. The French Post-office steamer, La Poste, one of those which carry the mails from Calais to Dover, is in the basin at Tre port, to convey the King and suite from thence to the Gomer steam-frigate, which has been at anchor in the offing for some days. The Pluton and another steamer, the name of which I shall mention later, are to escort or accompany the Gomer; but, as in the case of her Majesty Queen Victoria's arrival at Ostend, last year, it is expected that the royal steamer will, from its superior power, reach Ports mouth first and alone. I stated in my letter of last night, that yesterday the King entered upon his 72d year. There was nothing observable, however, at the Chateau, to mark the occasion, for the reasons I mentioned. Their Majesties took an airing in the forest before dinner, and had their usual soiree at the Palace, in the evening, at which the principal persons of the coun try were present. Some bustle is certainly noticed here and at Treport to-day; but compared with the excitement that prevailed during the visit of Queen Victoria last year, and particularly on the day of her Majesty's embarkation, all is quietude. Six o'CLocx P.M. At ten minutes after six precisely the King, Queen, Madame Adelaide, and the Duc de Montpensier en terred their carriage to proceed to Treport amid the tears of the persons in attendance. The Queen was of course deeply affected, this being her first separa tion from the King since her marriage. In another carriage followed the grand personages who are to accompany his Majesty, and in two others the per sons of the suite of his Majesty. At half. past six o'olock his Majesty embarked. ARRIVAL OF THE KING OF THE FRENCH. (FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) The new royal carriage left Vauxhall with the Chairman and Directors of the South- Western Railway soon after six o'clock this morning, and arrived at Farnborough about eight. At half-past eight his Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Colonel liouverie, as Equerry, arrived at the Farnborough station, and at once proceeded on his route for Gosport. On arriving at Basingstoke it was ascertained that his Grace the Duke of Wellington had just arrived from Strathfieldsaye, on which Prince Albert in vited his Grace in to the royal carriage, which then proceeded without further stoppage to Gosport, where it arrived a few minutes after ten o'clock. Prince Albert was here informed that the King of the French had arrived off Spithead so early as seven o'clock, and that his Majesty had landed at the Clarence Victualling yard, accompanied by the Duke de Montpensier and his suite, soon after nine. His Royal Highness, accompanied by the Duke of Wellington, immediately proceeded to meet the illus trious guests. Soon after eleven, his Majesty the King of the French, his son, the Duke de Montpensier, Prince Albert, Mons. Guizot, and a whole host of eminent and illustrious personages arrived at the Gosport terminus. The Prince handed the King into the royal carriage, and was followed by the Duke of Montpensier, and the various officers and others of the suite having entered the other carriages, the trains proceeded at a rapid rate to the Farnborough-station, where it arrived soon after one o'clock. Here several of the royal carriages and four were in attendance. The King of the French having alighted from the train, turned to the Directov, and the many people about the station, and acknowledged his reception—a truly English one throughout —by repeatedly bowing in a most gracious and dignified manner. The Royal party having entered the several carriages the cortege proceeded, amidst the loudest cheering from the populace, on its way to Windsor, where the illustrious guests would arrive a little before three o'clock this afternoon. THE FIEND or TIIE TREE.—Tsang-hoyuen, while at Kwantung, saw a man with a light wooden collar round his neck. His curiosisy being excited, he ques tioned the man as to his reasons for wearing the collar. On his repeated solicitations the man related the follow ing extraordinary circumstances :—" Some years ago my brother and I set out on horseback in search of ad ventures. At the foot of a high mountain, a little man with a white beard, not more than three cubits high, and with a turban on his head, came out and stood before us, bowing his head to the ground. My brother asked him who he was, and what he wanted but he replied, " Nothing." He now began to breathe on the horses, which started back with t error, an d k ept snorting and prancing, but would not move from the place. My brother, enraged at this, bent his bow and shot an arrow at the old man; who immediately fled, pursued by my brother, who not returning for some time, I went to se a r c h f or hi m ; I soon di scovere d his lifeless body lyin g un d er a tree , hi s nec k grown to a gigantic size. Horrified at this dreadful sight, I turned away from the place, but was stopped by the old man, who came out of the tree, and began to breathe on me. My neck immediately began to fall to pieces, and I was obliged to clasp it with my hands till I arrived home, when I had this collar with iron bands made, which I never can remove lest my neck fall to pieces." I have since discovered that this old man was the fiend of the tree, whose breath is deadly poison. —From Captain Piddiny's Chinese Olio and Tea Tath, No. 22.

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