To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific display at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the calm stillness of the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa.. eious Lake, to be fully appreciated.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. —This morning, at an early hour, a most murderous as sault was committed in the workhouse by a pauper named James Winters upon an o th e r p au p er name d Thomas Leeds, whose life has thereby been placed in imminent danger. It appears, that at dinner time yes terday, during the temporary absence of the ward-in spector, there was a fight in the day-room between Winters and another man, and that Leeds interfered to preserve peace. This interposition seems to have ex cited considerable animosity in Winters, for this morn ing, whilst Leeds was sitting quietly at breakfast, un conscious of danger, Winters silently approached from behind, and struck him three tremendous blows W i th a maule, one upon the ribs, another upon the right temple, and a third upon the back part of the head. A maule is a wooden instrument, three-fourths of a yard in length, and three inches in circumference, supplied to the paupers for the purpose of breaking and crushing sand. The blows immediately rendered Leeds insensible, in which state he was removed to the surgery by two other inmates of the house, both of whom witnessed the assault. The unfortunate man by the aid of powerful restoratives re covered his faculties in the course of two or three hours; and he became so well as to be able to appear against his assailant at the police-court, where he was conveyed in a coach. The circumstances were deposed to before the stipendary magistrate, who, in the first instance, ordered the prisoner to be committed for trial at the assizes, but Mr. Graham, the surgeon, stating that the temporal bone was fractured, and the patient's life in considerable danger, he was remanded until the issue is known. The Swiss Council of education has demanded that smoking shall be forbidden to youth; they consider the practice to be useless; in bad taste, injurious to health, expensive, and hazardous to the public edifices, ,which are in constant danger from •.,e sparks thrown about by smokers.

'lOl4. .27 THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 28, 1841. Government has acted in dealing with the debt of FLolland. We have intelligence from Madrid to the 19th inst. If we are to believe the Ministerial journals, Consti tutional Government has returned with MARTINEZ DE La ROSA, and NANYAEZ and his army are now sub ject to the civil power. The Tempo this boasts of the important ehange " The Cabinet of General Narvaez is now the Cabinet of M. Martinez de la Rosa, of the old head of the other Ministries ; of the man who has never submitted but to legitimate and constitutional influences ; of the man, in fine, who will probably, more than any other person, govern the majority in the next Cortes. In a word, even the shadow of military power disappeared from the Ministry from the moment that M. Martinez de la Rosa entered it. Military power is changed into one which contains within itself all the conditions of politic power, and this tendency, which should be a benefit, ac cording to the opinion of every man who proposes to make a representative Government a reality, and of which the accession of the new Minister to power is the express sion, in the eyes of all those who form a sober and dis passionate opinion of things, is precisely what the Oppo sition journals take care to conceal in speaking of the important change which has taken place in the Cabinet.' , According to letters from Barcelona of the 17th placards had been posted in several streets, denouncing' the Government, and several arrests had been made i• consequence. At Reuse similar feeling prevailed, and the troops had been confined to their barracks, as an outbreak was apprehended. Madrid Bourse on the 19th.—Three per Cents., sixty days, 27k; Fives, no quotation. The articles in the Paris papers are generally des titute of interest. For want of more important sub jects, the Opposition journals still dwell on the affairs of Morocco and Otaheite ; but the rage of the parties has nearly died away, the fit is over, and we look forward, therefore, to very dull declamation in the war journals, till they can invent some fresh grievance or a new insult from England. The Journal des Dcbats, some days since, published the principal con ditions of the treaty of peace between France and Morocco. These, however, were very incorrectly I given, if we are to believe the Constitutionnel, and some of the more objectionable articles were entirely suppressed. The following, says the latter journal, is a correct summary of the treaty :—" Art. 1. By this article the Emperor of Morocco engages to dis perse the troops assembled on the eastern frontier, not to assemble an army on this point, and not to have more than 2,000 men there, unless by common ac cord.—Art. 2. A chastisement is to be inflicted on the Moorish chiefs who hare violated the peace, and invaded our territory. Before inflicting this chastise ment, the EMPEROR shall make known to France the names of the offending parties, and the nature of their punishment.—Art. 3. ABD-EL- KADER is outlawed throughout the Moorish territory, and the territory of our possessions in Africa. He shall be pursued by the troops of both Governments until he shall be expelled, or made prisoner. —Art. 4. Should he fall into the power of the Moorish troops, he is to be sent into the interior, until the two Governments have decided on ulterior measures with respect to him. Sould he fall into the power of the French troops, the French Government engages to treat him with proper consideration.—Art. 5. The frontiers of the two empires shall remain the same as at the period of the Turkish rule in Algeria. An ulterior convention shall determine exactly these limits.—Art. 6. After the exchange of ratifications, the isle of Mogadore and the town of Ouchda shall be evacuated by the French troops. The prisoners of war shall be ex changed immediately.—Art. 7. New negotiations shall take place for the purpose of completing and consoli dating ancient treaties, which regulate our political and commercial relations with Morocco. Meanwhile these ancient treaties are maintained, and France shall enjoy in the empire the privileges of the most favoured nation.—Art. 8. The exchange of ratifica tions shall take place within a delay of two months." The same journals assert that the Government have also concealed some important facts relative to the skirmishes between the Otaheitans and the French troops. " The Government," it says, in announcing, on the 17th, the death of MM. SZIGNIITTII and NAN sourT, the two officers killed at Otaheite, mentioned fifty-two wounded. Everybody was struck with the singular circumstance of only two officers having been killed in the combat at Mabahana, and of their being officers. Unhappily there has been an omission in the official report. According to our information, the slain amount in number to seventeen." The Siecle improves on this, and gives the following as a true and faithful account " Although the latest news from Otaheite, published in the Ministerial journals state, the loss of the French at the attack of Mahahana at two officers killed and 52 privates wounded, it appears that the Go vernment h as not published all the information which it received as to that unfortunate affair. A letter has been communicated to us, in which it is stated that, besides two officers killed and 52 men wounded, we left more than 40 sea men or marines dead on the field. This letter a dd s , t h at the plan of the intrenchments raised by the rebels was given by British officers, and that the report of the Com mandant Bruat, received by the Ministers officially, announces this fact." The same journal thus attacks GUIZOT, on the plea that he dare not aceept an offer of vas t import ance to France, just made by a deputation from the republic of Nicaragua : " It is well known that there are at this moment at Paris envoys from the republic of Ni caragua, who have officially proposed to M. Guizot to place that State under the protectorate of France. A propos a l o f t hi s nature should admit of no hesitation on the part of the French Government. After having accepted the overtures of Queen Pomare to seize upon an, insignificant point in the Archipelago of the South bees, he cannot refuse an appeal made to France by a nation placed on the American continent, at the entrance of the isthmus which separates, and which will, perhaps, join the two oceans. England has given us the example, by establishing herself at Belize and b 7 taking possession of the island of Ruatan, in the bay of Honduras. What England has effected without the consent, or rather against the will of the natives, France has certainly a right to do at the wish of the natives solemnly expressed. Moreover we cannot understand how the Minister of the cordial understanding should !fleet with the slightest impediment from a power to which h e generously sacri ficed our interests in Otaheite. M. Guizot, after such a service, ought to find Lord Aberdeen the soul of bene volence and of conciliation. The reasons we have ad duced have, no doubt, preve nted M. G u i zo t f rom reply ing by a direct and immediate refusal to the overtures made to him by the envoys from Nicaragua. He has not his responsi• engaging g etely disclosed b dared ty b to y dismiss w t h b e i e m b , fear w fo b r uld h e a v f e e n c g o a mg the system of fear always, and fear everywhere. But what the servant of England does not openly he hopes to accomplish by a tortuous course, and by gainin g ti me . We are assured that M. Guizot signified to the envoys from Nicaragua that they s h ou ld wait. Go softly,' said he to them. Go softly, and why ? Ia France, then, fallen so low, that nations who, on the faith of her ancient fair fame, come to solicit her protection become as embarrassment for ber ? Is a nation which may be considered as having re ceived from Providence a mission to initi a t e th e world into the arts of civilization, at present to repu diate her great destiny ? Is she alone to fear to defend her property or to maintain her right ? Must she de mand the permisssion of England before she can extend her arms to the east or the west ? These are questions ofNicaragu a . which will naturally be asked when it is known what his anxiety M. Guizot feels . on account of the proposal made caused a y u s conceived t e h d e bdye himeog f a And such is the opinion , that it is believed the delay will end in a refusal." Louts Pamirra WilB to leave Paris on Wednesday evening for the Chateau d'Eu, preparatory to his de parture for England. He was to be accompanied to Eu by M. GUILOT and Admiral MACIEAII, who will also attend his MAJEST Y to Windsor.

(From The Sun of Last Night.) The Cotton market was steady at Liverpool yesterday, and a moderate business was done at previous rates. Sales 4,000 bales, of which exporters took 300 Ame rican and speculators 200. The sales included 600 Surat, at 20. to 31d.; 50 Maranham, at 51c1.; 200 Egyptian, at 61d. to 7d.; and the rest American, at 31d. to W.—London and Birmingham Railway Shares were in request again, and the market altogether was steady.

There is every reason to believe that the information received some days ago, that a new treaty, and a favour able one too, has been completed between our Govern ment and that of the Emperor of Brazil, is correct. Later accounts have reached us to-day upon this subject from Rio de Janeiro, which leave little doubt upon the question. At present, however, a sort of solemn silence is upheld as to the provisions of the new compact. A few items only had gained publicity in the capital of the Brazilian empire, and we may confidently state that concessions on both sides have been made which must, if held out, tend to augment the commerce between both countries. The West India interest through its representatives in the House of Commons will, if our private information on this subject be correct, most strenuously oppose one clause which the general body connected with the colonies will think most objectionable. However, the progress of liberal legislation in commer cial affairs has so far advanced that sectional interests cannot by possibility prevent the onward movement by which millions, and not small parties, must be benefited. Mere is a feature with respect to the provision contract taken yesterday, which is worth a notice. For the first time, we believe, the Commissioners have, during peace, enlarged their contract. This looks as though the de termination now is to keep up a good store of salted meats in our dockyards. The Irish contractors, no doubt, are much pleased with this increase of contract. Last year large losses were sustained by them in conse quence of the niggardly amount which was then taken to supply the navy of Great Britain. The market for Stocks is very quiet to-day, but at the same time very firm. Consols are 997 to par, the Com missioner having paid the highest rates. For Time par to 100/ have been the quotations. India Stock has been firm at 2881. Exchequer Bills have realised 745. to 765. premium. The Foreign Market is not active, the settlement oc• cupyiug chief attention. Spanish Five per Cents, have been 231 to 24 ; and the Three per Cents. 341 to 351, being rather lower again. Portuguese Converted obtain 471 ; Mexican Bonds are steady, at 37i ; Colombian at 14i ; and Brazilian New at 871 to 881 ; Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. have been supported at 621. The Share Market is looking better this morning, as a reference to the quotations below, of the Railways dealt in, will show. The business done has not been extensive.

AI Li rain t Aint4 LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1844, Accounts from the north of Scotland state that on Tuesday last the firing of cannon was distinctly heard on the hills to the north of Blair Athol, which was said to be a royal salute in honour of the arrival of the Duke of CAMBRIDGE at Black Mount, a shoot ing-lodge belonging to the Marquis of BEBADAL BANE, near Glencoe, a pass notorious in history. The Queen of ENGLAND is residing at the foot of Schehal lion, in a district famed for the devotion of its inha bitants to the house of STUART ; and the clansmen of ATHOL, who in the last century risked their lives and property in opposing the BRUNSWICK family, are now the guardians of royalty, and the most ardent supporters of the present dynasty. These are remarkable features of the present times. It is true the &maim are extinct, there are no competitors to the throne, and the loyal Highlanders have no other idol than the House of Brunswick, yet it is impos sible not to remark the change which has taken place since the commencement of the reign of GEORGE 111., when his most gracious MAJESTY might equally have trusted to the fidelity of his northern subjects. Ile never took a voyage to Scotland, or Ireland, or even to Hanover, the birth-place of his family. He remained ensconced in Windsor Castle or Kew Palace, to be worshipped by cockneys and occa sional strangers; he imposed the same rule on his children, and not one of the Royal Family, except by stealth, passed the frontier of England. Now one of his sons, the only surviving son in England, has set out on his travels at the goodly age of seventy, and is shooting grouse and red deer in the mountains and valleys that had so often resounded with the war cry of the enemies of his family. Even the odious name of CUMBERLAND would meet with respect from these kind-hearted and loyal people. We attribute this remarkable change to the good taste and judg ment of her MAJESTY. GEORGE the FOURTH, it is true, visited Ireland and Scotland, but he went thither with his usual pomp ; he did not mix with the inhabitants—lie went to be worshipped. The QUEEN goes as a simple individual among her subjects, she converses as familiarly with the lowest as the highest, she exhibits herself to her people as their friend, she abandons all that foolish etiquette so fatal to royalty, and so much regretted by a Liberal Contemporary, but is she the less a QUEEN in the I eyes of the Scottish nation ? Should a doubt arise, or an occasion occur, in which their loyalty could be tested, these friendly visits to the northern part of her kingdom would rouse every man in her defence We hope the day will yet come, and speedily, when' she can pay the same compliment to the sister island, and endear her family to a nation equally loyal and generous. Only one obstacle stands in the way of this peaceful achievement—the wicked policy of the Tory party. They will rule Ireland as a con quered country ; they will maintain a Church with out a people ; they will exclude Irishmen from all places of trust and emolument, and hand over the government of seven millions to a few Orangemen whom the Irish justly regard as foreigners. What reconciled the restless and turbulent Scotch will re concile the Irish—equal laws, an equal administra tion of justice, a due regard to the religion of the nation, and a generous confidence in the honour and loyalty of the people. We should then be an united nation, and the Queen of ENGLAND would be wel comed with more enthusiasm at Killarney, and even Derrynane Abbey, than she is now at Blair Athol. The remonstrances of the press, the frequent sig nificant allusions to the subject in the House of Commons last session, and still more, perhaps, the midnight vagaries of Swing, have at length, we per ceive, had the effect of inducing the great land holders to turn their attention to the destitute con dition of the labouring classes, with a view, of course, to see what is to be done in the way of remedy. At all the late Agricultural Meetings —and within the last few weeks they have been of frequent occurrence—nothing is more remarkable than the earnestness, to all appearance, with which the different speakers impress on their audience the necessity of endeavouring to provide adequate employment for the labourer, and to ameliorate the various hardships of his lot by every possible means at their command. It is now beginning to be gene rally discovered by those who are placed in authority over him, that the peasant is not such a mere clod of earth as he was so long supposed to be ; but that he has feelings and affections to quite as great an extent as his betters, and that it is high time that the kindlier impulses of his nature should be drawn forth by acts of courtesy and good will, instead of being repressed by a system of haughty reserve and isolation being maintained towards him by those whose station, and even whose interests, Should induce them to act differently. At the Lichfield Agricultural Association, the Chairman, Colonel Aissois, observed that "the condition of the farm-labourers was a matter which required the most serious consideration, botkof the landowner and occu pier of the soil. It was, perhaps, the most difficult question they had to meet a t t h e present day. They knew it was impossible at all times, in all places, and under all circumstances, that regular employment should be found for them; but where that employ ment was known to be precarious and insufficient, it was the more incumbent on the landowner and the occupier of the soil to do everything in their power to better their condition," At the Suffolk Agricultural Meeting, the following was the language which was used by another Chairman, Sir Ea:ovuaro KBREISOX :-" The condition of the labourers 'was a subject worthy of the most serious consideration. It was the interest of the landowner Isnd not less so of the farmer, to endeavour to :render the labourer comfortable, without which it was idle to suppose that he would be either contented or peaceable." Similar language was held zr,t the Herta Agricultural Meeting ; indeed at this meet ing one of the speakers grew quite sentimaental while descanting on the indifference, not 14.) say neglect, with which the labouring classes had for years been treated, and predicted that if a different COM rse of conduct were not henceforth pursued towards them by their superiors, the consequences might bcs most disastrous to the welfare of the community. 'These new views of the Squirearchy, as regards the 'ea bour ing portion of the population, constitute very encou raging signs of the times, so far as they go; bactt it is one thing to preach and another to practice ; and it is not enough that the great agriculturists indulge in expressions of good-will and sympathy torwards their helpless and impoverished peasantry; theT must act as well as talk—in a word, they must show their faith by their works. As their opportunities of doing good are great, so should their inclination be in proportion. A heavy accumulating deb& has for years and years been owing by them to) the labouring classes, and they should not lose a moment in making the endeavour to liquidate it to the last farthing, or at any rate, if this bu for the present impossible, to pay it off by regular instalments. By these means only will they be enabled to put an effectual atop to the midnight con flagrations of Swing, whose freaks, like theme of Captain Rock in Ireland, are the natural consequence's of the long neglect with which the peasantry in both countries have been treated by their superiors.. The allotment system, of which Sir E.Kismusort spoke at the Suffolk Agricultural Meeting, is one of great pro mise, and bids fair to benefit the labouring classes in no ordinary degree ; but remedial measures, of a much more comprehensive character than this must be had recourse to, ere our great landowners can be said to have adequately fulfilled their duties. as the legitimate guardians and benefactors of their respec tive peasantry. The Dutch papers, from which we yesterdv gave extracts, contain some very remarkable statements connected with the financial statistics of the Govern ment of Holland. It appears that the blin:isterial plan for reducing the interest en a vast propoz tioa of the public debt of that country is working smut with ,ignal efficiency and ;success. Within three months )nly, from the promulgation of the law au thorising this scheme of conversion, one-half of the whole Amount of plate debt hypothecated for th'ils opera tion, has beeniletirdliieenverted ;tl ibterest thereon being lowereillithijOir to five per/lent.

The relief she has:t‘u . sg , fa her •- s so. much the more immedulto and/ !oyanci-gilliSg. For Hol land, sufficiently releaiel frVrhthe 4 mmels of that disproportionate annual char ge fnterest on her public debt which she has hitherto had to meet, there %re commercial prospects of the most encouraging nature. In such an event, the private capital still listributed among her highly industrious community would be soon called into energetic and extensive dif fusion. The very many advantages arising from the .ncidents of her geographical position, her ancient ind still subsisting commercial relations in the East and West Indies and on the Spanish Main; and her ocality in the high road of European traffic, as an intermediate emporium at all times for interchangeable commodities, of which she was, heretofore, the general carrier ; these may, in the course of events., within a ew years raise her again into an attitude of first-rate eminence among mercantile nations. She has ap proved herself, at all times, an active, able., vigilant, ind jealous rival, whenever she has met competitors in her path. And though she has been immeasurably listanced and beaten in the race for maritime and commercial superiority by the genius, the fortune, Ind the inflexible progress of Great Britain, it may oe a salutary recollection for us to cherish, that during he latter period of that memorable rivalry for the dominion of the seas, and of the empire of trade, we, ourselves, had not the same formidable rivals in other States to divert our undivided attention from the growth of Dutch greatness that we now have. The eederation of the United States of America was not yet in existence. The States of the German Union had not been associated in such an Anti-English League as that which is now presented by the Zollverein. Saxony, and Prussia, and Belgium, had not appeared in the markets of the world as mann 'acturing countries. The cotton and other fabrics of Switzerland and of France were unknown as sus taining any competition with our own.. Russia, which, on many accounts, as well as from the force of ties of family connexion, it may now be assumed would eagerly support the efforts of Holland to make good her pretensions, as against the influence of England, to re-occupy the once proud elevation from which she has long since descended, was then a fourth or fifth-rate Power, so far as commercial in fluence or marine was concerned. France had not then established a species of monopoly in the profit able gum trade, and other branches of commerce, on the western shores of Africa and elsewhere. How distant soever the probability may, prima facie, appear of Holland's reviving any considerable share of her former maritime and commercial greatness, these, then, it will .be allowed, are considerations tending to bring that probability nearer to our contemplation the more dispassionately they are looked at. The moral which this somewhat startling financial ability of Holland suggests to our own minds is, that it well behoves the Government of Sir ROBrirr PEEL, by timely concessions to the principles of free trade and financial economy, to improve upon the example set by Holland, as the only means open to us for retaining, in permanency, that paramountship which we at present enjoy, against the challenge of all competitors. Holland, with her circumscribed population, and area, can have retrieved the scale of her public credit to the extent of conducting so vas an operation as we speak of, in diminishing the in. terest of her debt, only by a rigorous and exact ad. ministration of her annual revenue. She accom. plishes this remarkable measure in the thirtieth year of an European peace, not by the dangerous and most unjust expedient of a tax on that property and income which any far-seeing statesman will endea- your, always, to preserve intact as to such im posts, until there arises the invincible exigency of a war ; but she—Holland—achieves her purpose by a business-like, unsleeping, systematic supervision of her revenue. There are no huge " Custom-house frauds " perpetrated at Amsterdam or in Rotterdam, whose colossal amount, in one year, renders it neces sary (as we have seen the case to be in this country ever since 1842) to supplement a deficient revenue by new and odious taxes, to an extent commensurate with the defalcations of that department in which the frauds in question have been committed. There are no stupendous forgeries successfully practised on that precise bureau in which it is the especial duty of our Minister of Finance to provide the securities, and test the machinery of such provision, against the spoliation of the national treasure. The 40,0001. forgery the other day of Dutch National Bank paper is scarcely to be noted as an exception to this remark, when our Exchequer forgeries, alone, have amounted, in BEAUMONT'S single case, to more than 400,0001. Add to this 400,0001. the yet utterly unaQcertained robberies daily effected by conspiracy, bribery, and perjury on our revenue of Customs, and you have an aggregate which shows that, were those branches of the public service in which such stupenduous losses have been incurred, better organised and more vigi lantly superintended, there would he no reason—and consequently no excuse—for the abomination of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S property-tax. The Premier would find his Customs and his Excise increasing at a ratio that would soon balance, at the least, the expenditure by the income of each year ; and this equation, owing to the enormous increase of trade consequent on the remoial of his pernicious property-tax " screw," would be speedily enlarged to a surplus revenue which would enable his Chancellor of the Exchequer to carry on his reductions of last year, on the Three- and-a-Half per Cents., to a proportion of our national debt, liable to a similar conversion, that should be, in proportion, equivalent to that on which the Dutch PARTMENT.

HER MAJESTY AT BLAIR ATHOL. BLAIR ATHOL, WEDNESDAY. The Queen and her Illustrious Consort, accom panied by the ladies of her suite, Lord Glenlyon, Lord Charles Wellesley, &c., went ye,terday down Glen Tilt to the For es t Lodge, his Royal High ness Prince Albert drivin g he pony phaeton. There being no post from London yester day, the Queen set out at the unusually early hour of two o'clock, and the royal party reached the lodge at half-pa3t three, where the Queen and her suite partook of luncheon, which had been sent on in the morning by Lord Glenlyon. The foresters had been sent out at an early hour to drive in the deer, but the wind being unfavourable they were extremely shy, and after some hours spent in endeavouring to come within shot, during which her Majesty rode with Prince Albert some distance on her Highland pony, the sportsmen were obliged to return to the lodge, the entire sport of the day being a hind shot by Lord Glenlyon. The Queen returned to Blair Castle at seven o'clock. The firing of cannon was distinctly heard yester day on the hills to the north of Blair Athol, which was said to he a Royal salute in honour of the arrival of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge at B'ack Mount, a splendid shooting lodge belonging to the Marquis of Breadalbane, situate near Glencoe, the site of the celebrated and infamous massacre of that name. His Royal Highness is expected to be present at the golf match to be held at the North Inch of Perth, on Saturday next. The Earl of Aberdeen left the Castle this morning for Laggan, the seat of the Marquis of Abercorn, to whom the Noble Earl is about to pay a short visit. He will return to Blair Castle to-morrow night. It is said that one of the huntsmen in charge of the otter hounds has been dispatched to Haddo House to procure some otters, there being none in the neigh bourhood of Blair, and the Prince having expressed a wish to witness the exciting sport of an otter hunt before leaving the Highlands. It is now stated that the Queen will leave Blair Castle on Tuesday next, at half past eight or nine o'clock, so as to arrive at Dundee between two and three in the afternoon, which will be within two hours of high water. Preparations were being made for a luncheon on a right royal scale for the Queen and her suite at Dundee, but her Majesty will not alight, but go at once on board the Royal yacht, which will proceed immediately down the Frith of Tay with the other steamers of the Royal squadron. The Queen took her usual walk this morning in the grounds of the castle, accompanied by Prince Albert, and the Princess Royal on her Highland pony. Her Majesty, it is said, spends at least ten hours every day in the open air, and the pure and bracing air of the Highlands has had the most bene ficial effect upon her health. A. large supply of silk, woollen, and velvet tar tans, of the finest texture and mos t nove l patterns has been sent up within the last two days from, Messrs. Romain 3 and Patterson's and Mr. James Smith's establishments at Edinburgh, for her Ma jesty's inspection. Mrs. Smith is herself the bearer of a very beautiful and costly velvet tartan dress, as a present to her Royal Highness the young Princess, which she will to-day crave permission to submit for her Majesty's approval. Another excursion to Glen Tilt is projected for this afternoon, but as the wind is unfavourable it is pro bable the royal party may take some other route. FLANDERS and HAMBURGH MAIL. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 24.—The King and Queen, with the royal children and suite, arrived yesterday, at Lacken, from Ostend. Yesterday was the first day of the anniversary of the Revolution. The weather was most unfavourable to the celebration of the national fetes. To-day the weather has been tolerably fine, and the horse-races have gone off very well. There was a great assemblage of spec tators, but by no means so many carriages as at the races in July, and very few ladies in the reserved seats on the stand. Every arrangement was made in the royal box for the arrival of their Majesties, but no member of the royal family was present. The ceremony of laying the two stones of the sluice at Nieuport, which are to receive the inscription, appears to have been very brilliant. TRIESTE, SEPT. 16.—Yesterday evening when his Rajesty the Emperor heft the theatre, which was splen didly decorated, and where he was received with the greatest enthusiasm, thousands of people followed the carriage through the illuminated street to the Palace, before which, we may say, without exaggeration, half the population of Trieste was collected. On a sudden the whole scene was illuminated with Bengal lights and coloured fire-balls ; the people singing in chorus the national hymn, and at the end gave vent to their feelings in a stormy, long-continued, and repeated Evviva, when their Majesties appeared at the windows and saluted the people. This morning, at nine o'clock, their Majesties left the city amidst the salutes of artillery, ringing of bells, and the acclamations of the people, crowds of whom lined the streets through which their Ma jesties passed, the grateful recollection of whose visit will not be easily effaced. At the first stage, Santa Croee, their Majesties were received by the magistrates of Trieste and a great number of citizens, who had hastened before them, in order once more to express their gratitude and respect. The Empress was pleased particularly to testify to the Directors of the Austrian Lloyd, her satisfaction with that fine institu tion. We have some hopes that their Majesties will again visit us. VIENNA, SEPT. 16.—The Court Gazette of the day before yesterday at last publishes the notice that Mar quis Potnlucci, Admiral in Chief, Commander of the Navy, at the head of which he had been for many years, has retired on a pension. It is affirmed in the higher circles that be is extremely affected concern ing the affair of the two Bandeiras, he having placed too much confidence in one of these un nappy fanatics. This Bandeira was one of his aid-de-camps, and enjoyed his confidence in such a degree that he opened all letters re►ating to the service All at once the Marquis received an intimation from Vienna that Bandeira was implicated in dangerous poli tical intrigues, and that he would do well to have him closely watched. A second order came from Vienna directing him to have Bandeira arrested. Ban deira of course suppressed both letters and took his mea sures accordingly. He proceeded with his brother to Trieste, there obtained by a stratagem the passport of a merchant, who has been called to account for it, and rent in a merchantman to Corfu. Such is the statement given in certain circles, which we give without warrant ing its correctness. The father of the two Bandeiras is said to have considered similar hints which he received to be mere chimeras. He felt so much confidence in his sons, as the Marquis did in his aide-de-camp, that he could not believe so insane an enterprise. It is probable that Bandeira being warned by Mazzini in London, sup pressed the letters from Vienna to the Marquis.
