A Several advertisements having of late appeared, headed " DIRECI' NORTHERN RAILWAY," and having attached thereto the names of Sir John Rennie, Mr. Gravatt, Major Amsinc, and others, in which it is asserted—that by the Direct Northern Line the distance f. om London to York will be twenty miles less than by the line proposed by this Company—that the scheme to connect London with York originated with, and was first projected by, Sir John Rennie and Company—and that upwards of seventy miles of their scheme has been appropriated by the London and York Company—the Committee of Direction feel called upon, in justice to themselves and the shareholders, to give these assertions the most direct and unqualified contradiction. To the first they reply—that the difference in distance between the projected lines from London to York, instead of being twenty miles, is not more than too miles and a half. Sir John Rennie's, by his own account being 180 miles in length—that of the London and York being in reality upon the line, as finally laid down, 1881 miles.

Whether this difference of five and a half miles can be realised by Sir John Rennie's line is yet to be proved, and, if realised, whe ther such a difference would be compensated for by the London and York line having its course through the towns of Hitcbie, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Grantham, Newark, Tuiford, Retford, Bawtry, and Doncaster, not one of which is approached by Sir John Ilennie's line, the public will be able to determine. To the second and third allegations the Committee of Direction of the Landon and York Company reply, that while Sir John Ren nie and Co. state that their surveys were commenced in October, 1843, and their prospectus isublialied in April last, the project for a new railway between London and York was formed by Mr. Gibbs in 1830, and in that year carried into Parliament That in 1840 Mr. Gibbs again brought his scheme before the Parliamentary Commis sioners, and it is detailed by them in their report of 1841. That such scheme was never abandoned by him, hut in February of the present year the details of the London and York Railway, as now, with modifications adopted, were explained by him to Mr. Beckett Denison, M.P , who suggested several alterations, and Mr. Francis Mowatt, the Vice-Chairman, and arrangements were made for per fecting the plan by levels and surveys, which were completed in the month of March following, and on the 10th of April the project was announced by advertisement in the Times, under the name of the " Great Northern Railway," before any advertisement of Eir John Rennie had appeared : and the Committee of Direction dis tinctly affirm that the course over the first seventy miles from London was adopted on actual surveys made by Mr. Gibbs, and not suggested to them by any other parties ; and they beg further to observe, it is only now within these few days, that after the Lon don and York Company has been before the public for a period of five months, after its, whole capital of five millions has been sub. scribed, and its shares bas attained a high premium is the market, that Sir John Rennie and Company have come forward with what is intended to be a counter-project, and with the mis-statements here disposed of.

The object of this undertaking is to connect the port of Fal. mouth with the Naval Station at Plymouth, and by the South Devon and Bristol and Exeter Railways, with Bristol, where the great lines of railway communication with the Metropolis, and the North of England now meet, and thus to bring Falmouth, the most ‘Vesternly Port in the Channel, within eleven hours of London, and fourteen hours of Liverpool and Manchester. The works of the South Devon Railway from Exeter to Ply mouth, being now in rapid progress, with a view to completion in two years, the time has arrived when it becomes essential to bring forward the plan for a western extension in conjunction with the Great Western, Bristol and Exeter, Bristol and Gloucester, and South Devon Railway Companies. The Provisional Committee having laid the plans and estimates of construction, and the traffic case in detail, berm, the Directors of these Companies, they have agreed to unite in contributing 250,000/. to the capital of this Railway. The Associated Companies having thus identified themselves with this undertaking, the Cornwall Railway Company will have the advantage, in its operations, of the advice an , l assistance of Members of their Boards, and the works will be carried on with the approbation, and under the supervision, of the experienco.l and talented officers of these Companies.

The necessary steps have therefore been taken to bring a Bill before Parliament in the next Session for constructing the Corn wall Railway. From the surveys that have been made by Captain Moorsom, C.E., it appears that the line would pass through Torpoint, within three quarters of a mile of St. Germans, touching Liskeard, near to Bodmin and Lostwithiel, through Par, and St. Austell, by St. Stephens and Tresillian to Truro. From Truro the course of the line would be towards Bissoe and Pollean Cross, to connect with the great Mining and Western districts of the County, and from thence by Ponsnooth and Penryn to Falmouth.

The completion of the Railway from Penzance, which passing thtough the great western mining districts, will join the proposed line of the Cornwall Railway between Truro and Falmouth, and for which a Bill is to be brought before Parliament next Session, will bring a great accession of traffic from those districts. The Cornwall Railway will not only be in itself important and of great local advantage, but will in fact be the terminus of a metropolitan trunk line, and else the terminus of a line from the great manufacturing districts of the North, so that the carriage which loaves London in the Evening, will be at Falmouth in the Morning, after eleven hours' journey, and the Passengers from Manchester or Liverpool, may arrive at Falmouth in fourteen hours. It will also be the westernly link of the great chain of coast lines now formed, or in progless, Irons Dover on the east, to Penzance in the west, and will thus eventually receive the traffic of these sources, flowing to arid from our western possessions. The well-known advantages and capabilities of the Port of Fal. mouth and the opinions unequivocally expressed by the Commis sioners appointed by Government in 1840, to inquire into thecom parative merits of the Ports then suggested by the Mail Packet Station, " That if a Railroad existed to the South-West Land's. end, and a harbour were constructed in that neighbourhood, where the mails might with facility be put on board and lauded, they would unhesitatingly recommend that harbour to the adoption of Government," make it evident that the construction of the pro. posed Railway would render Falmouth the best Port in the kingdom for the embarkation and landing of the Mails for the West Indies, the Peninsula, the Mediterranean, and all our transatlantic pos. sessions.—That this Port will be largely used by passengers pro. ceeding by these Packets, and also by passengers arriving from and departing for our Foreign Possessions in sailing vessels, is evident from the anxiety always felt by those who have endured a long sea voyage to reach the shore, and ftom the desire which most persons feel to avoid the delays and danger of the Channel navigation. The reasons which now induce outward.bound Indiamen to call at Cowes or Portsmouth to embark their passengers, will apply with greater force to a more Western Port, when a Railroad shall bring that Port within eleven hours of the Metropolis. The largely increasing number of vessels, which even under the present mode of travelling, call, whether for passengers or orders, at Falmouth, shows that expectations of traffic to a large extent, may be well founded on these grounds; but in the calculations now submitted, the Committee have confined themselves to the usual increase upon the existing trade, which is alone sufficient to show that this undertaking will prove a highly advantageous investment. ---;------------ VOGAN and GILLO S NOVARGENT, or A...)

ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED i n ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Noon, and .Aright, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE, THE LIFE OF LOUIS PHILIPPE Few sovereigns of any age, and none in modern times, have passed through greater vicissitudes of fortune than the present King of the French. Adversity is said to be in most cases a good teacher, though its lessons have frequently been throwis away upon pupils of regal birth. In the instance before us, however, it is hardly to be doubted that, if the success with which Louis Philippe has wielded the sceptre may in great part be attributed to his own prudence and sagacity, it may also, in some measure, have resulted from the "sweet uses" of that severe school of human discipline in which his early years were passed. The volume of the "Life and Times of Louis Philippe, King of the French," which the Rev. G. N. Wright published a few years hack, and to which he has recently made an addition, including an account of the visit of Queen Victoria to his Majesty, will furnish us with ma terials for a brief sketch of most of the remarkable pas sages in the history of this monarch. Louis Philippe, it is well known, was the son of the notorious Duke of Orleans, or Citizen Egalitc, asso ciated with our worst recollections of the Reign of 'Ferrer in the worst part of the French Revolution. Louis Philippe, Duke de Valois, was born in 1773. His father was then Duke de Chartres (the Duke of Orleans being alive), and his mother was " the amiable, popular, and wealthy " heiress of the Duke of Penthievre. This lady separated from her husbaud not only on account of his political proceedings, but owing to the influence which he had suffered the celebrated Madame de Geniis to exercise over his own mind and that of his children, and which he avowed was in order to supersede the na tural rights of the mother. His address to the Conven tion, in 1792, states one of his reasons for sending his daughter to England with Madame de Geniis to be a desire " to withdraw her from the influence of a woman," as he terms the Duchess, "who is undoubtedly very es timable, but whose opinions upon the present affairs arc not in accordance with my own." The Duke de Valois (Louis Philippe) was the eldest of three sons. In his eighth year his father consulted Madame de Geniis upon the choice of a fit tutor for him, and that lady has re lated the conversation which passed between them upon this important subject. " One evening that the Duke of Chartres came, as he ier t o s lose children procuringw generally did, t o B e ll Ch asse, b etween e i ght and nine o'clock, finding me al one , h e told me that there was no timetli wie his in o would d tutorhave for m hisa manners of fo s hop fur that a o men. He consulted mo on the selection of one. I pro posed Schomberg, whom he refused to accept, alleging that he would render the children pedantic. I then named the Chevalier de Durfort, who he said would give them a tone of bombast. I then spoke of Thiars, but he objected to him as being too careless ; and said that he would pay no attention at all to the children. I then began to laugh, and said, ' Well, what do you think of me ?" Why not ?' replied he, seriously. I protested that what I had said was in jest, and that in all our previous conversations nothing had occurred that could have led me to expect so singular a determination. But the air andlnsanner of the Duke impressed me deeply with the thought of doing something at once glorious to myself, and unprecedented in the history of education, and I earnestly hoped that the plan might be accom plished. I told the Duke frankly my thoughts on the subject ; he appeared delighted, and said, 'rho thing is decided —you must be their tutor.'" The Chevalier de Bonnard (who had been recommen ded to the Duke by M. de Buffon) and the Abbe Guyot were to be sub-tutors, but Madame de Geniis was to be absolute directress of the education of the princes, for which she demanded no remuneration, being content with the honour of having educated them gra tuitously. Bonnard, however, thought the post hurni ' listing, and resigned it to M. Le Brun. The Court ri dieuled this system of education, and declared that it was a reflection upon the noblesse, but the " (year," Mr. Wright remarks, "has fully justified the choice of the Duku, and the throne of France is now a beautiful monument to the memory of Madame de Geniis." Young Louis Philippe, it is said, with a robust frame and lively disposition, was fonder of amusement than study, and yawned over history even when read to him by a Madame de Geniis. Judicious severity cured these anti-studious habits, end his indefatigable instructress succeeded in bringing out and developing " the noble mental qualities which revealed themselves in the boy Valois." The princes were taught not merely the higher branches of literature and science, but various domestic arts and manufactures, such as turning, basket-making, weaving, &c. The Duke de Valois is said to have excelled his brothers in cabinet-making, an art, which, it is jocosely said, he has since turned to good account. Under such a tutor as Madame do Geniis, and at such an era, it is not to be wondered at that the young Prince should have manifested an ardent love of liberty, and a thirst for military glory. His wealth, whilst he pos sessed any, was devoted to benevolent objects ; and Ma dame de Geniis has preserved a letter from the Duke, when about 15, declaring his intention to save a fund out of his pocket-money for charitable purposes. Ills gotwernante has entered the following character of her I pupil at this time : " The Duke of Chartres has greatly improv e d i n dis position during the last year ; he was born with good inclinations : he is now become intelligent and virtuous. He has none of the frivolity of his age ; he sincerely disdains the puerilities which occupy the pursuits of so many young men—such as fashions, dress, trinkets, trifles of all kinds, the rage for following novelties. lie has no passion for money; he is disinterested ; despises glare, and is, consequently, truly noble : lastly, ;he has an excellent heart, which is common to his brothers and sister, and which, joined to reflection, is capable of pro ducing all other good qualities." Unhappily as the Duke grew up to manhood, he was initiated into the mysteries of the worst political schools of the Revolution. In 1790 he was introduced by his father into the Jacobin Club—Madame de Geniis says, in direct opposition to her wishes, when that club was at the zenith of its power and infamy:— "It does not appear," Mr. 'Wright says, " that the young Duke exhibited any sympathy w ith his brother Jacobins, although he very warmly and decidedly ad mired and applauded the liberal sentiments of many eloquent members of the National Assembly: he fre quently attended the sittings of the latter, but it is not plain that he entitled himself to the least share of Ja- cobin reputation, whatever value posterity may attach to it." Nevertheless ho was inoculated with much of the re volutionary spirit, for when, in 1791, ho appeared in the uniform of the National Guard to have his name entered upon the register, perceiving that all his titles had been written, he erased them with his own hand. and wrote after his name, " Citizen of Faris." As colonel of a regiment of dragoons, he joined the army at Vendome, and when the decree for the suppression of all emblems of nobility was received there, he declared to his regiment that " he was too much the friend of equality, not to hare received it with transport." At Vendome he rescued, at the hazard of his life, two non juring priests, who had insulted a constitutional clergy man. This incident is the subject of a painting in the Palais Royal. Upon another occasion he saved an engi neer from drowning, by jumping into a deep and dan gerous river. _ _ _ The first campaign of the young " citizen" was under Dumouriez, in the war between France and Austria. in lie had been appointed Commandant at Stras- burg, but he said, " I atia too young to be shut up in a citadel, and I request permission to remain on active service." Ile was present at the " Cannonade of Valmy," as it is called ; and General Kellerman, in his official dispatch, particularly notices, amongst those who had shown distinguished courage, " M. Chartres and his aide-de-camp, M. Montpensier "—the l)uke de Montpensier, the younger brother of Louis Philippe. lie was soon after transferred to Dumouriez's army on the frontier, where the Duke de Chartres, then only nineteen, gathered his first military laurels at the battle of Gemappes. The Austrian army consisted of 22,000 veteran troops under Marshal Clairfait ; that of Du rnouriez, consisting mostly of raw levies, was about 27,000. The Duke was entrusted with the command of the right wing, the army being equally divided into two wings. On the 6th of November, 1792, the French army attacked the formidable position of the Aus trians. The right wing, becoming the centre, was se parated by the Duke into columns of battalions, and moved on the wood of Flenu, covering the Austrian centre. Placing six battalions in reserve, with the eighteen others he drove in the enemy's light infantry, traversed the wood, and arrived on the level ground above it ; but the Austrian infantry, supported by the artillery, made such havoc amongst the beads of the columns, that they could not debouche, and re-entered the wood in disorder. Mr. Wright, in describing the battle, says : " The Duke de Chartres saved the army from a great disaster, by forming a chain of mounted chasseurs in front of the wood, to arrest the fugitives. Finding it im possible to re-establish order in many of the battalions, which were all now mixed together, he formed one great column of the whole, which he named the .13(11(1d/on de Mons, placed the fire stands of colours in the midst of it, caused the trumpeters to sound a charge, and with the same soldiers, whose flight a few moments before could not be checked, attacked the Austrian infantry that occupied the intervals the erva Austrian lsb between the redoubts, penetrated the . irra t n o ks c w ar i r th y the ba bayonet, ck to o a n n s d .

The work is already about 40 yards wide, and Is capable of being extended to upwards of ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTI YARDS, where a large number of men may be employed most advanta geously, and without the slightest risk. This is an investment af. fording a rare opportunity to 'any party with moderate capital to REALISE A LARGE FORTUNE. y of the foregoing state- The observations which follow are extracted f ront a Welsh , to see the Quarry, and my opinion is, that there is something extra or di nar y i n it ; i t . Pa e p n e t r : ,_an i d , I fu h l a ly v e d b e e m e o n n i s n tra c t r a h r e v a o c ri c s u h r i a re c can be made, with a few thousands outlay, THE MOST EXTENSIVE CONCERN OF THIS SORT THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. The vein of pure slates is ascertained to be no less than ISO yards wide, and at least half a mile in length, without any ob struction, and as deep as any parties may feel inclined to go, wherein there is sufficient quantity of that useftil materiel TO SUPPLY THE WHOLE WORLD FOR CENTURIES TO COME; and with good management the profits would—they could not be less than from 100 to 150 per cent. upon the outlay, after it is put in proper order. It will employ many hundred men to great advantage. Another desirable point connected with this concern is, that the cover of earth on the surface is only two or three yards deep, whereas most of the quarries are under ten or fifteen yards cover. The ?workshops, waggons, and working utensils are in good repair, as also the road, three miles of which has been made at the expense of nearly 2,0001.; THIS WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE PURCHASE. Another point is worthy of consideration, the work is on the side of the celebrated Carnarvon Hills, and a sufficient declivity affords to the water a cheap conveyance to THE BEAUTIFUL EIGIA LAKE. These splendid waters are full of fish, and consequently afford lots of amusement, and the hill prevents the impossibility of any annoy ance to the works from water, The distance to a capital , shipping wharf is only seven miles, and but nine to the intended CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD GREAT RAILWAY. The name of the concern is THE " CEDRYN QUARRY," situate about ten miles from Banger, and the same distance from Conway and Llanrwst, in the centre between the three towns. " It is held under THE RIGHT HON. LORD NEWBOROUGH for an unexpired term of twenty-eight years, which can be extended at any time. " In conclusion, we can on l y add that t h e Quarry ought to pro duce a considerable sum, as it is A SURE FORTUNE FOR ANY SPIRITED PARTY who may be lucky enough to get it." This unpretending statement of facts will convince even those inclined to be sceptical, that it is an investment free from doubt or uncertainty. Full particulars may be had on application to Mr. E.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Will you have the kindness to raise your voice on a subject which I am sure must strike every one with astonishment—it is, the very great want of swimming baths in the north and north-west parts of London. The parish of St. Pancras, with a popula tion of about 170,000 pers'Ons, is without a single bath of any description. St. Marylebone, with nearly 230,000 inhabitants, has certainly not more than six private warm baths. If some person was to erect a tepid swimming bath somewhere by the corner of the Hampstead and New-roads, I am certain that th© monetary returns would very fully repay him for the outlay. The want of such accommodation is sadly felt by the gentry and respectable working men in that neighbourhood. Trusting that the publicity of these lines may in duce some enterprising person to supply this great deficiency in so populous a place, I am, Sir, your humble servant, A LOVER OF CLEANLINESS. IRON TRADE.—The monthly meeting of the Scot tish ironmasters was held here on Wednesday, at which there was a full attendance, and the utmost harmony and good feeling prevailed, A code of regulations was adopted, by which any undue increase in the make will be prevented ; fair remunerating prices are expected to be maintained, and the market protected against such fluctuations as have recently been experienced. The present light stocks, and renewed demand, would have warranted an advance, but it was considered more pru dent, at this season of the year, when exports usually fall off, to continue the price of pig iron at 21. 15s. per ton, for all qualities, until the effects of the recent panic ' had completely subsided, and the cunsumers had an op portunity of supplying their immediate wants. While a moderate price has thus been fixed for the home market, it was agreed that, in the event of stocks increasing, per mission should be given to allow a bonus to foreign mer chants, in order that a vent might be found at all times for any surplus produce, and thus the supply re gulated to meet the demand. Upon the whole matters bore a cheering aspect, and, under the sound and mature regulations which have been so unanimously adopted, the future prosperity of this imp ortant branch of trade may be considered in some measure secured. — Glasgow Saturday Post. [ADVERTISEMENT.] ---A POOR MAN'S LIFE SAVED BY HOLLOWAY'S PlLLS.—Jeremiah Laughlin, a porter about the quays of Dublin, was afflicted for years with s h or t ne ss of breath, spittirg of phlegm, night perspira tions. and general wea kness of body, a want of appetite, sick head-ache , besides suffering much from the liver. This man was in the second stage of consumption and not expected to live three months, when he commenced the use of Holloway's wonderful Pills, and by their means alone he is now as strong, as hale, and as well as ever lie was in his life. Sold (also Holloway's Oint ment) at the Establishment of Professor Holloway, 244, Strand (where advice may bo had gratis), and by al mos t all respectable vendors of medicine throughout the Civi lised world. 1792. lis Duke as Mattes, by kis kertio these occasions, fixed the attention of This s and entitled himself to an honourable mention, in the official bulletin. Ire hft the winter quartersed tlie army in Belgium to visit his sister, tle Price ', . flu Louise Ad e l a id e . w h o had just bier. inclade - " aa —ae:e_*ith Madame de G e nii s , i n t h e proscriptive low''f- .

Whiterhe was at Tourney, whi - '!tee . t,::had conducted his sister, a decree appeared, dee. . - that every member or the Bourbon-Caper family . 4 ! 1 : 1 1 Tett the territory of the republic, as well as that oce %lea:eV -- its armies. The young Duke urged his father, Egalite, to take advantage of this decree, and retire from the Convention to the United States ; but he, with a firmness worthy of a better cause, made it a point of honour to remain, and an exception was made by the Convention in favour of the Orleans princes. Thebuke de Chartres returned to the army to acquire fro sh reputation at the siege of Maestricht, under General Miranda. At the battle of Nerwinde, in March, 1793, where the young Duke, who commanded the centre, performed many acts of valour, Dumouriez was defeated by the Austrians, who were only prevented from destroying the French army by the Duke de Chard es and General Leveneur, who, at the head of a battalion of veterans, checked their advance. The Duke had ti horse killed under him during the action. This defeat was the ruin of the Duke's hopes in the Republicen service. Only 13 dills after this event (March 31, 1793) leumouriez was supping with the Duke, when a courier arrived with orders that beth should proceed to Paris, to explain their conduct at the battle of Nerwinde bei't» e the Com mittee of Public Safety. Both perceived that their lives were demanded, and that not a moment was to be lost ; they set off to the frontier, and thus cloied the connexion of Louis Philippe with republican France. The Duke repaired in the first in.tance to Mons, the Austrian head quarters, to obtain passports. There Prince Charles invited him to enter the service of the empire ; but he refused to carry arias against France, and, assuming the name and appearance of an English traveller, journeyed with some risk and slender resources through Germany and Switzerland. Ile was almost a pennyless fugitive in the Grisons, Iv hen the Duke received a letter from el. Montesquiou, offering him the eituation f professor at the College of Reichceau, which—such was the state of his resources—he gladly accepted, and lie was admitted in October,l793, in his 22d year, under the name of M. Chabaud ; having undergone a rigid examination without being recognised by any one, save M. Jost, the President of the College, who had been made acquainted with his real character. Here he continued to teach geography, history, the French and English languages, and mathematics, for eight months, during which time he inspired the inhabitants of Riche lieu with so high an esteem for his virtues and abilities, that they appointed him their deputy to the Assembly of Coire. The intelligence of his father's fate overwhelmed hire with affliction, and ho was compelled to seek chanty cif scene. He once more became a wanderer, his whole property being a staff and a knapsack. Ile proceeded to Hamburgh, thence to Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Lapland, and the North Cape, pushing his travels to within 18 degrees of the Arctic Pole. Returning to Sweden, he revisited Denmark, and reached ilawburgh again in 1796. These countries he had not merely seen, but minutely examined, his finances not permitting him to travel in any other manner than that which alone brings a visitor into intimate communication with the people of the country. At Hamburgh the French Directory commenced a negotiation with the illustrious exile, in consequence of which the Duke (then of Orleans) consented to proceed to the United States, and in September, 1796, he eine barked on board an American trader, and arrived at Philadelphia in October. He was soon after joined by his two brothers, the Duke de Montpensicr 41.11 d the Count Beaujolais. Philadelphia was then the seat of the Federal Govern ment, of which Washington was the head. The Duke contracted an acquaintance with the illustrious chief citizen of the United States, of whom ho subsequently drew a most accurate character. Whilst a resident in America, the Duke moved about the country, acquaint ing himself critically with its character, and that of the people. As he spoke fluently the German and Unglish languages, there was no impediment to his intercourse with all classes. Once, in his travels, he acted as surgeon to an Indian chief, whom he bled in his wigwam with such success, that the tribe bestowed a high, though not very cc-Acta ble honour, upon the white stranger. "It was customary in this tribe, that the whole family, however illustrious, should sleep upon one spa cious mat, the relations being all ranged according to proximity, rank, age, and other discriefinating circum stances. In acknowledgment of the cervices rendered by the Duke to the grandfather of the chiefs family, he was permitted to pass the night upon the family mat be tween the grandmother end grand aunt, the highest ho nour ever conferred by that tribe upon an individual of any age or colour." The incidents of the residence and travels of the illus trious exiles in America would alone fill a little volume. From the United States the Royal exiles were con veyed in a British frigate to the Ilavannah, where they were well received; but the Court of Madrid ordered the Captain-General of Cuba to send them away. Exasperated at the persecution of the Court of Spain, they turned their eyes to England, is here they deter• mined to seek an as) lum. Proceeding to the Bahamas, they passed over to lisilifax, where the Duke of Kent (the father of Queen Victoria) received them in the kindest manner. His Royal Highness, however, did not feel authorised to grant the Princes a free passage in an English vessel of war; and they proceeded to England by the ordinary conveyance. They arrived at Falmouth in February, 1800, sea having received permission from the King, George 111., they proceeded immediately to London, and took up their residence at Twickenham. By placing himself in the centre of a large aristocratical society, the Duke vo luntarily exposed his manner of life and his associates to observation, which removed all suspicitn as to his mo tives and designs, and his character daily augmented the number of his friends. Very soon after, a reconciliation took place between the Orleans Princes and Louis XVIII. They were now admitted to the British Court, and the three Princes of Orleans became the lions of the fashionable society of the metropolis, till the Duke proceeded, with the permission of our Government, to Minorca, with the view of visiience the Court of Spain ; ,but such was the jealousy of the Spanish Government towards this family, that ho wag obliged to return to Twickenham, where he lived as a, private gentleman, not in seclusion or even retirement-- for he mixed in society—but without any appearance of the eclat of a public character. His pursuits were of a lite rary and scientific kind ; he studied political economy, and the history, laws, and constitution of England. The death of his two brothers took place a few years after their arrival in England, and on the last of the two events grief drove Louis Philippe abroad fur a change of scene. He proceeded to Sicily, and here he engaged the affections of the Princess Amelia, the second daughter of the King, and it would appear that the Queen of Naples made her consent to the marriage ef her daughter to the Duke conditional upon the latter diking part in the wild expedition which was to make her second son, Leopold, Regent of Spain. The Duke of Orleanit entered upon this project, and conducted himself in it with as much prudence and discretion as could be ex pected in such an enterprise. As he had Lord Coiling wood for a coadjutor, this " strange adventure," as Mr. Wright terms it, though it failed, had a more wise and honourable termination than the Sicilian politicians would have given to it, had its management been lett to diem alone. It did, indeed, no service to the elute teeter of the Duke of Orleans in the estieetation of the French people ; but the presence el' the Duke on the coast of Spain seems to have sug gested to seine of the patriotic party in that coun try that it would be beneficial to the cause if the Prince should place himself at their head, he being the only member of the Bourbon family who enjoyed a military reputation. The Duke of Orleans was appointed by the Central Junta to the command of a corps in Catalonia ; but all the proceedings of the patriot leaders were so wild and extravagant, that this project came to nothing. The disappointment of the Queen of Naples in her Spanish ',reject provoked her to throw impediments in the way of the marriage between her daughter and the Duke of Orleans, who, however, proceeded to Paler in order to face his calumniators, and this bold step dissipated the fresh cloud which seemed about to gather over his fortunes. On the 25th of November, 1809, his Royal Highness was united to the Princess, in the pre sence of his venerated mother, who came to Palermo ex pressly on the occasion. "If ever a marriage contract was formed, between individuals of such exalted rank without the least admixture of ambition or interest," ob serves Mr. Wright, " it was that of the Princess Amelia with the wandering Duke of Orleans." In the following May the Duke, leaving his bride, landed in Spain, upon the invitation of the Regency, with the view of aiding the patriot cause ; but the condition of the Government was such, that, not only were his services declined, but the Cortes ordered him to eiettt h Spanish territory within twenty-four hours. Correa refused to withdraw their decree even after a h personal address from the Duke at their bar, w here e withhis : to be cha racteristic spirit and decision , he demanded he event was s known remained in Ile accordingly returned to P l alerni T o h , is where h , till the fall of Napoleon 18 4 . at Palermo on the 23d of April, and on the 18th of May the Duke was in Paris, which he had not seen for more than twenty years : " The Duke's first care, on his return to Paris, was to pay a stolen visit to the home of his fathers. The porters, who still continued to wear the Imperial livery, were with difficulty induced to permit a stranger, and clad also in the costume of Sicily, to penetrate fho in nermost apartments of the palace ; but the earnestness w ith which he pursued his survey left them little leisuro to question him as to his object. As he approached the grand staircase, the recollections of his boyhood, the lustre of his ancient race, the agonies of mind he had, endured since he last beheld that spot, and gratitude to that Providence which had spared him amidst such universal ruin, completely overwhelmed him, and falling prostrate on the tesselated pavement, he imprved a thousand kisses on the cold white marble, whil yearsgushing from his e y es i n di cated, while they relic the i it emotions with which h e contended. The atten sof the palace looked on this scene of fervent feeling with surprise, some imagining that it was the workings of frenzy or of folly ; but on being informed that it was the long-exiled and sole surviving son of Egalite—the Ulysses of modern ages—whom they beheld entering the palace of his fathers after his wanderings over Europa and America, pity was superseded by admiration. " On the following day Louis Philippe was presented to the King at the Palace of the Tuileries in his Sicilian costume, not choosing to wait for a French court suit., lest his Majesty might imagine that he bad not been suf ficiently diligent in appearing amongst the Royal Family. As the Duke approached Louis xvnr. de. sceuded, and advancing towards him, said, ' Your High ness was e Lieutenant-General in the service of your - - e 0,7 4414 1 s ponnzan sr,
