If the Sun made a near approach to Jupiter or Saturn, these planets would be as assuredly de stroyed by his proximity, as Mercury and Venus by his distance. But a similar catastrophe does not attend the visits of a Sovereign to the various parts of his dominions. All the points of his Empire are equally susceptible of the beneficial vigour infused by his presence, or of the adverse gloom and inactivity usually proportioned to tl - -eir dis tance from him. Though London -may in some degree languish during his occasional absence, Dublin, Hanover, and Edinburgh, are not scorch ed and destroyed, but wai *.ed and enriched by his approach. Ai the parts of the Empire'can not revolve, each in its best arid most healthful orbit, around the Sovereign, the influence of the Sovereign is most like that of the beneficent Sun) when leaving, as often as the affairs of State will Permit, the seat of government, he dispenses the Powerful emanations from his presence through " all quarters of his empire, every where sti mulating the activity, exciting the resources and. P ro moting .„ • •,. th e pr o sp er i ty o f his people. We have be en led i nto these observations, in consequence of complaints being made that the nineteen Lords Juktices, appointed td exercise the functions of Royalty duzing the I6NG'S absence, have not ; by condensing their' influence, formed a sort of Sub R egal Court, which s hould in some measure com pensate to - the Metropolis for the gloom and inac tivity occasioned by the absenc e of Royalty:— tut the Lords Jusiices are not so nuriie'rous, because it was intended that 'by the union of their s plendour, an at t rac ti on should' Pe substi tuted for that of the Monarch. There 'are so In anY as nineteen, lest by any accidfnt or neces sit.Y a smaller number should be sudd en ly ren dered i ncapable o f per f orm i ng their functions, hot from any idea that the splendours Of the Court could b e maintained without .the presence of the Sovereign. If there were but one, two, or three Lords Justices, their sudden death might oc casion t h e machinery of government to stand 441 ) or the inexorable necessity of attending exclusively to their public duties t i piiht at tided with the ruin of their pill ate a . ffairs. Th ere ar e so many, for the very - purpose of t tz labli ng them to do that, without inconvenience r ° t he public service, which sorrie persons al eady loudly blame them for having done, of t o 4b ling some to go to his estates, or others duty K ivu , b u s iness; ' ..their if their buSinesS; .the.r _ their - y ) or tl • i nclinations require their presence. 41 the K ING die, the regal power devolv e s in titlY up o n !=ls lawful successor.

TIIE KING. The Brussels Papers differ materially with re spect to the journey of his MAJESTY. The fol lowing are extracts : BriussrLs, OCT. 2.—The Martinis of LoN. DONDERRY, Lord CLANwiLit i tin, and Sir BEN JAMIN BLOOMFIELD, who left this town on Sun day morning, arrived the same day at Aix-la- Chapelle, where they will wait for their Sove reign.—(rornal of Belgium.)

After remaining at Hanover about a fortnight, his MAJESTY will proceed to Vienna, and confer with the Emperors FnANcts and ALEX-. ANDER on the measures to be pursued with regard to Turkey.—( The Friend Te the King.) " LIEGE, OCT. 3.—The King of ENGLAND passed through this towr•n, about two o'clock yes terday afternoon. His MAJESTY ordered his .carriage to stop, that he might receive the con gratulations of the authorities. During the whole of this time, the band of the troops in the gar rison, who were under arms, performed " God 'save the King." His MAJESTY immediately afterwards continued his route to Aix-la-Chapelle where he arrived last night." DUSSELDORF, Ocr. 3—(Private Leiter.)--The urgency of the post obliges me to confine this letter to ,a few - lines. I have just crossed the Rhine, and arrived here from Aix-la-Cluipelle, where his MAJEST Y was to have slept last night. Au estafette came into that town on the-preced ing day, Announcing to the Marquis of LONDON.. DERRY' that his MAJESTY would certainly arrive yesterday evening, at six o'clock. Accordingly, Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, after having made all the necessary arrangements for his MAJESTY'S accommodation, set out for this town, Where he has done the same; and on arriving at the Hotel Breicfr;tbach,l find that he has prepared them to expect his MAJESTY at four o'clock this evening. Munster is the next place at which his MAJESTY is to sleeprand hewill pr ocee d t h ence to Osna bruck, where, it is supposed; he will remain for a day, iu.order to receive the Hanoverian aUtho ,. titles, who will come to congratulate .him on his arrival in his hereditary dominions. It gives me grtqtt pleasure to inform you that his MAJESTY enjoys excellent health, though he must undergo coesiderable fatigue in travelling over roads that are almost impassable. , 4!. We have received so me part i culars of a visit paid by his MAJESTY, whilst in Dublin, to one of our Charitable Institutions, which has wholly escaped the notice of the public Journals. The Institution•we allude to is the Female Orphan House, North Circular Road. His MA.TESTY went privately frOm the Park, on Thursday, August 30, the day previous to his departure for the Curragh ; he was accompanied by the Mar= chioness of CONYNGHA M. His MAJESTY ex pressed himself highly pleased at the cleanliness and excellent internal arrangements of the Esta blishment. The, girls, above one hundred in number, were all drawn up in the presence of his MAJESTY, and sang ". God save the KING ; " it was an interesting sight, at which his MAJEsry was much affected, as, he said, they reminded him of the Orphans, placed in similar circum stances, who hid been protected' by the QueeN, his mother. His MAJESTY was pleased to ex press a wish.to be made a Governor.of the Insti tution. He ordered.a donation of 100!. and de cliired his - intention of giving the same sum annually., One of his MAJESTY'S shirts was sent to the OrPhan House as ~ a pattern and the gi r ls have been em pl o y e d to make shirts for his MA- J ESTY.—(Dublia Morning Post.) The various - reductitms in the contemplation of Ministers, which are intended to be made before the Ist ofJanuary next, it is now said will amount V:o 'two millions a-year. Advises from Gibraltar to :the 18th ult. ar rived yesterday. They state that a fresh notice frpm the superior, Board of nealth of the pro vince of Malaga had been issued on the sth, con firming the flamer assurances that the town con ;tinned free from contagion. In the harbour two men "had died on board of the English ships Auspicious and Superb, the masters of which had succeeded in concealing their illness from the agents of the Board, by bringing them on the deck at the time of the daily visit as if they had been healthy. The two ships had accordingly been ordered to Mahon, and precautimis taken to prevent such concealment in future. The,news.of the appointment of General CANTAMOR as War Minister at Madrid, in the latter end of August, having reached Carthegena„ the mob of that city loudly expressed their disapprobation of that choice, the General's name being on the list of individuals whom they wanted to be turned out of Carthagena sometime before. Capt. DE GORE, Aid-de-Camp to the Marquess DE MONTECHEW, has left Marshal Thompson's Hotel for Paris: ' The Marquess will remain in town a few dais longer.

THE CAMBR IA N EISTEDDVOD IN GWYNEDD, or the Congress of Bards of North Wales, waslately held at Caernarvon ' under the patron age o f the Marquis of Anglesey, the Earl of Uxbridge Viscount Bulk e i e y, L or d N ew b orougn, Sir W. W. Wynn, Sir Charles Morgan, the Bishop of Ban gor, and a large assemblage of distinguished characters. Th e purpose of this meeting was , for the preservation of the Re mains of Ancient British Literature, Poetical, Historical, An tiquarian, M oral, and Sacred, and - also for the encourage ment of the National Music of Wales. The several prizes were warmly contested in pure ancient British vers.4 and a badge in the form of a silver chair was awarded to the author of the best ode. To the best historian :was assigned a silver medal. To the best musician or performer on the harp, was allotted a silver badge in the form of that instrument. Also, three guineas to the best vocal singer of the peanithaa. It ap pears that part of the entertainment was not managed so well as might be expected, as the Committee might have brought for-1 ward the best vocal performers of North Wales, where there are - two of the best choirs in the principality,, viz; Bangor and St. Asaph. Had those singers been seiected,an admirable vocal band would have been formed, who sre well t died to sing the na tive Welsh songs, glecs, &c. &c. in the true characteristic style.' But singers were brought from Bath for the occasion, who were wholly ignorant of the Welsh language, and the old national style of the Welsh melodies ; yet, strange to say, these singers, though not Welshnien, are, according to report, in future to be styled the BARDS OF DYFED, or Smith Wales—an absurd de signation, that could not have been expected to be applied to them, considering•the brill!ant and numerous company that at tended the meeting. *,,,* The foregoing article is sent to us as a more correct ac count than has hitherto appeared of a Meeting of no alight im portance in the principality. The annual dinner of the Windsor and Eton Junior C.:lel:et Club, at the close of the season, took place at the Swan Inn on Thursday last, and was attended. by upwards of seventy inhabitants of Windsor and the neighbourhood. The room was handsomely decorated with a variety of flags, lautel, and flowers, and illuminated with variegated lamps. After the cloth was removed, " Nora Nobis Domino" was sung by some professionFd gentle men w ith great effect; many loyal-a'nd appro priatt. toasts were given and drunk with enthusiasm, ac companied by a variety of excellent singing. The utmost har mony-and conviviality prevailed to a late hour. Mueh credit is due to Mr. Lillewhite for the excellence of the entertainment, which gave universal satisfaction, • AN AWKWARD fSTAKE.—A reverend popular preacher, well, known to the literary. circles of the Metropolis, was constantly received with warm hospitality at the table of the late Mr. and Lady EL IZAHE.TII WHITEHEAD. His con versational talents had recommended him likewise to the favour and protection of Lady AUGUSTA MVILUAY, better known, perh a p s , t o yn e s 'Fe by the titl e o f " Duchess of Sus- SE X, at the bottom of whose table he was usually requested tO take his, chsir.

"Oh ! well, ne ver mind, I'll speak to your mistress."—'' She is also gone out, Sir." The Gentleman, nut willing to be denied admission, said, " as it was a cold day he would step in, and sit down by the fire a few minuttcm."-:—« Ah ! Sir, but that is gone OW too," replied the girl.

DIFFICULT BET.—Some time ago, ri wager was laid, that Baron de STnooosorF would be strangled at Constantihople.

COFFEE SUOPS.—Yesterday the proprietor of one of these nightly receptacles for questionable characters, in James's-street, in the parish of St. George's, Hanover-square, was fined in the full penalty of 101. by Mr. ItAwuNsox, at the• Mary lebone Office, for keeping a night - coffee-shop. Being quite unprepared to produce the amount of this legal fine,. the otfende?' was ordered to three months' hard labour in the House of Correction. ItEmovAn OF CoxvicTs.—Yesterday morning, at six o'clock, about twenty=five male convicts were removed in a caravan from Newgate, for transportation, pursuant to their sentences. They were met at Brackfriar's-road by a detachment of Dragoons, who are to escort them to their des tination. As usual, a great number 9f persons were collected to witness theirdeparture ; among them were several of their old companions, equally deserving of a seat in the caraVan. There were two or three MilwoodS also present, who whimpered a parting farewell : but the caravan was scarcely out of sight, when excessive grief drove then, into a dram-shop, where a quantity of gin afforded them immediate comfort ; and they separated, exclaiming against the severity of the laws and the cruelty of the big-wigs. Suictn E. -- About two o'clock on Saturday af ternoon, Mr. J. WATKINS, a single young.man, who kept a baker's shop in South Mimms, after eating his dinner, went into the cellar and • cut his throat with a carving knife.

EXTT.NI vE BunGLARY.--During Sunday night some thieves entered the house of Mr. SMYTH, of the ltegent-circus, xford-street, by forcing open the area gates, and stole the whole stock in trade, consisting of several hundred pairs of boots and shoes. Tire family did not sleep in the house, in consequence of its unfinished state, and on their opening the door yesterday morning, were not a little surprised to find the shop completely clear ed of the valuable goods it contained on Satur day. Information was _ yesterday given of the robbery at Marlborough -street office, and the officers are making active search. •1 : 0 - R t 1 17 ' 1.11, : SUN. PRISON .

I hardly know which. th e more t o a d m i re; the! ! accuracy ofyour gorreepondent's information as to the state of this gaol, or his profound knowledge ,on, the subject of prison discipline; caohot refrain from apprising the respectable readers of your journal that in Carrickfergus Gaol there is no hard labour or enephiyaient for the prisoners. The statement of the two prisoners may therefore be very readily believed; their love of idleness was indulged in prison, and their guilty habits were confirmed,; and they returned into society, hardened in their vicious propensities, a fact too which at once accounts for their speedy. ,re-committal. ! But all this,.so far from reflecting 011 the system recommended by .the advocates forprison only strengthens their opinions, ; and corroborates their state ments!: hard (a 4our for the (•otivicted being a sine gad non in ..all r their plans off' prison' -government. Had theae Olen been Placed on the Wheel of a tread-mill, similar to that in use at Hertford gaol, and various other prisons in this country, I. am inclined to think - that they would net have expressed then. selves so fascinated with imprisonment, nor have so soon re-. putr4 to it:, On the contrail, it is far more probable that they _ . wol,„efd (Oa Many svell-kilown of ea:ders have done in this country). havehad recourse to habits of honest industry on quitting prison, rather than again encounter the severe labour of the stepping_ mill. Should pair c.lorrespondent (whose amiable motives in making the communication one cannot sufficiently admire,) be - yet sceptical, let me int rea t o f hi m to honour this county gaol with a visit, and 'confer with some of our visiting maeintrates and I will venture to say, that his doubts will be soon removed, were they as numerous as the tombstones in Carrickfergus church-yard. In order that I may gain some credit with your " Correspon dent," it may perhaps be necessary that I should assure hint that I tun not a victim to morbid sensibility, or "mistaken ha rnanity"—in short, that I am not such a deluded mortal as to he either " a Methodist" or a " Philanthropist ;" but a plain man, who desires to see the criminal punished as well as re formed, but who deprecates the attempts which are occasionally made to discourage the spirit that is abroad, to diminish the number of offences amending gaols. As I shall return to Carrickfergus in the course of a day or two, I should be highly gratified by the opportunity of taking back with me the aniende honurable of your " Corresponden t." An apology, 1 thick, he is called upon to make. In sending the communication, he must either have been ignorant of the real state of Carrickfergus gaol, or of the fact, that hard labour is an essential feature of a good prison ; or his statement must have been founded on a wilful intention to deceive. The latter supposition I cannot for one moment admit ;—if he 'did not know the actual condition of the prison, he ought not to have written on the subject. Allow me to add my hope, that when your Correspondent ventures upon another attack on prison discipline, he will leave - poor Ireland alone, and illustrate his opinions by statements con. cerning gaols nearer home, Information as to,lrelp.nd may not always be at hand; let him adduce his instances from the sons in England, and I doubt no; that he wllltave a host et p..,son-disciplinarians able and ready to supply the deficiency - of his statements, and expose his misrepresentations.
