They announce ae diticuvery of large deposits of guano on Dassen Island, by a Mr. E. Cheappini, but which, being on public lands, is claimed by the Government. An important improve ment with the harbour of Table Bay was under con siderati‘m, by the construction of a breakwater, ex• tending from the shore near the Chavonna battery embracing that portion of the anchorage where the deepest water is to be found, and by a curve towards the extremity, protecting from the action of. the Lids and the surf a large portion of the area of the bay. The want of a harbour of refuge at Table Bay has long been f:lt, and the present projectis - one of con siderable importance to the colony and the shipping interest. The number of vessels which entered Table Bay in 1849 was 500, of 156,000 tons. SPANISH BONDHOLDERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. LIR,- , puteic . Venue'', bentg- at this moment dir.ere d to a general meeting of Siianitsh bondholders convened for Wtdnetday next—and cos sequent upon anothe r proposition for csrrying out the Peninsular system of spoiation—l feel usqlred that your well-known zeal it, the public weal and general rights insures your re ady co operation for the redress of the long di frauded foreign credit , rs of Spain. If priia'e wrongs receive attet.tion from our highly talented' Minister for Foreign Affairs, we cannot reasonably suppose that he will over look public ones, or continue to . give any sanction to Governments which, regardless of. every principle of honesty and justice, violate their pledged national faith, and thus strike a fatal blow to public credit and com merce. The question does not merely relate to the ruined bondholders of Spa;n, but, as a matter of course, interests all persons concerned in foreign securities and leans; for it the system of repudiation be allowed in one ally it would soon be perhaps conveniently adopted by others, and thus eventually produce general bankruptcy. If Governments, boasting of their resources, may do this with impunity, with what consist ncy can the law be put in force against private individuals? As to the evasive conduct of Spain, her total disregard of every promise, whilst she rt cklessly pursues a system of extra vagance, and the ready adoption of the same iniquitous system by Portugal, it is all too well known to need comment from my pen; but I cannot doubt that the colossal power of the press will be exerted in support of foreign creditors, and an exposure of the infamous pro positions of Spain.—l am, Sir, y. urs faithfully, A SPANISH BO.I.YPLIULDER. August 26, 1850. DEATH FATAL ACCIDENT.—Y& sterday morning, about ten o'clock, as a man named Sillies, residing in Pasemore-street, Pimlico, was in the act of sweeping the lead projecting over the shop-front of Mr. Fenn, chusemonger, High-street, Marylebone, a portion of the lead gave way, and the unfor- Waive man fell on to the pavement with such force that his brains were dashed out on the spot. On being picked up life wai quite extinct. HER MAJESTY'S SHIP CALIDOPiIA.—Extract of a letter from her Majesty's ship Caledonia, off Malta, dated 6th instant. We have been favoured with the perusal of a letter from the hove ship, from which we extract the following:— " We are all cruising betweea Malta and Sicily, to keep out of the way of the choler.:, now prevalent at the former place. The squadron had a taste of it a few weeks since, but we are all now, thank God, very healthy—the average number being under 3i per cent., and these with slight complaints. We have been out for a month, and shill probably remain cruizing six weeks or two months longer, until the cool weather sets in—it being .now fearfully hot on shore, and rather warm for us—but I never felt better, and I believe this is the case with most of us. We shall probably be with you in March to pay off." ROYAL NORTHERN AGRICULTURAL .SHOW.—This agricultural gathering took place at Aberdeen on Thursday and Friday. The exhibition of stock was very great, and the show of implements was considerable. A dinner afterwards took place in the Mechanics' Hall, which was attended by the Duke of Richmond, who preside 3, the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Haddo, Admiral Gordon, Sir A. Leith Hay, Sir J. D. El phinstone, Captain Fordyce, M.P., and many landowners. The speeches were entirely of a compli mentary character, with only indirect references to agricul tural depression. - - - KOSSUTH'S LEl"I'Elt to GEN. CASS. Kullya (Asia Minor), May 25, 1850. General,—lt is already ten months that I have the anguish of exile to endure. Nature has man's mind with wonderful elasticity endowed. It, yields to many changes of fate, and gets accustomed even to adversity. But to one thing the patriot's heart never learns to inure itself—to the pangs of exile. You remember yon patrician a Venice, who, when banished, feigned high treason, that he might at least from the scaffold cast over the Rialto a glance once more. This fond desire I can easily understand. I can so the more, because yon Venetian, though exiled, knew his fatherland to be happy and great; but I, sir, carry the dolor of millions, the pains of a downtrodden country , in my wounded breast, without having even the sad con solation to think that it could not otherwise be. Oh, had Divine Providence only from treason deigned me to pre serve, I swear to the Almighty God the threatening billows of despotism would have fallen like foam from the rock cf my brave people's breasts. To have this firm conviction, sir, and, instead of the well deserved victory of freedom, to find oneself in exile, the faller land in chains, is a protound sorrow, a nameless grief. Neither have I the aonsolation to have found mitiga • BOSTON AND STAMFORD RAILWAT.—The half yearly meeting of this company to be held to-day will be merely of a formal character, preparatory to winding-up the undertaking and completing the arrangements with the Great Northern. No report will be presented. The ba lance-sheet, however, shows that the receipts on the capital account have been 83,6091. 183. The expenses, including 35,672/. 1- a. for Parliamentary and law ; 5,4281. 16e. 3d. for intereet on capital ; 1,9;8/. lls. 3d. for engineering and other ordinary items, have amounted to within 1,4)7/. 153. 6d. of the receipts. CITY OF LONDON REGISTRATION OF VOTERS. — Mr. Thomas Young M`Christie, the Revising Barrister, has appointed Monday, the 16th of September, on which to com mence his registration of voters for Members_to servo in Par liament for the city of London. GROSS IGNORANCE.—The Corunna papers mention a fact that shows in what a state of ignorance and brutality the Gallician labourers are still plunged. The aeronaut, Madame Sanges, who had made an ascension in her balloon, descended near the village of Betangos. Here the peasants, with a stupid old fanatic priest at their head, brutally as saulted the poor woman, alleging she was the devil, and had she not been defended by some more civilised than the rest, she would probably have been killed. -The Governor of Corunna has rendered the village pecuniarily responsible for the damage done to the balloon, and has sent the culprits to prison. DEATH FROM FALLING FROM A CLIFF.—A few days since, Mrs. Thomas, a widow, residing at Alarcross, near Bri geed, South Wales, was walking along the edge of the cliff when she accidentally fell over and was killed on the spot. The body, when found, presented a dreadfully mangled appearance. ROYAL MILITARY REPOSITORY.—The Comman dant of the Garrison has issued an order permitting visitors to Woolwich to go over the Rotunda and the Repository grounds on five instead of three days a week, Saturday being the only week day on which they are cl sect to the public. RIVER ?LATS.—TREATY BETWEEN THE BUENOS AYIcEAN AND FRENCH REPUBLICS.— The following telegra phic dispatch was received at Lloyd's late yesterday after noon from Liverpool :—•• A treaty was concluded between ROS 49 and the French Admiral prior to the 22d July. at Buenos Ayres. Terms not transpired. There was a diffe rence of opinion as to whether it would be acted upon imme diately, or its ratification by the French Government be waited for." tions of this grief at the hospitable hearth of a great Gee people, the contemplation of which, by the imposing view of freedom's wonderful powers, warms the despon dent heart, making it it in the destiny of mankind belie ve. It is not a coward lamentation which makes me say all this, General, but the lively sense of gratitude and thankful acknowledgments for your general sympathy. I wanted to sketch the darkness of my destiny, that you might feel what benefit must have been to me your beam of light, by which you, from the capital of frte America, have heightened my night. It Ras in Broussa, General, that the notice of your imposing speech has reached me; in yonder Brous's, where Hannibal bewailed his country's mischief, and foretold the fall of its oppressors. Hannibal, exiled like myself, but still unhappier, as he was accompanied in exile by the ingratitude of his people, but I by the love of mine. . . Ye', General, your powerful E peech was not only the inspiration of sympathy for unmerited misfortune, so natural to noble. feeling hearts—it was the revelation of the justice of God—it was a leaf from the book of fate, unveiled to the world. On that day, General, you were sitting, in the name of mankind, in tribunal, passing judgment on despotism and the despots of the world; and, as sure as the God of Justice lives, your verdict will be accomplished. Shall I yet have my share in this great work, or not? Ido nut know. Once almost an efficient instrument in the hands of Providence, lam now buried ante. With humble heart will I accept the call to action, should I be deemed worthy of it, or submit to the doom of inactive sufferings, it it must be so. But, be it one or the other, I know that your sentence will be fulfilled. I know that aged Europe, at the sun of freedom's young America, will herself grow young again, I know that my people, who proved so worthy of liberty, will yet, notwithstanding their present degradation, weigh heavy in this balance of fate ; and I know that, as long as one Hungarian lives, your name, General, will be counted among the most cherished in nay na tive land as the distinguished man who, a worthy inter preter of the generous sentiments of the great Ameri can people, has, upon us poor Hungarians, the consola tion bestowed of a c , lnfident hope, at a moment when Europe's di crepit politics seemed our unmerited fate for ever to seal. GOSPORT.—The weather this week has. been very unfavourable to the harvest, as a considerable quantity of rain has fallen. The potato disease has made its appearance in this neighbourhood but not to such an extent as it did last year. — Hants independent. A Sxow-STORM IN AUGUST.—During the latter part of last week the weather was fine and seasonable for harvest operations throughout this district. But on Satur day and Sunday a considerable change took place. The at mosphere became much cooler, particularly on the latter day, when a strong wind set in from the south-west, the sky became clouded, and in the afternoon and evening much rain fell. During Sunday night the wind shifted to the west, and blew a heavy gale. On Menday the wind again shifted, northwardg, and rose at times to a hurricane, the sky being overcast, and heavy showers of rain falling at intervals. At about a quarter to four in the afternoon the town and sur rounding neighbourhood was visited by one of the severest storms at wind, snow, hail, and rain, we ever remember to have seen. The wind appeared as if it would lift the roofs from the houses, and it shook all those buildings exposed to its fury to their foundations. The rain descended in tor rnts, and with the snow, which was only a short time per ceptible, was swept by the wind like clouds of moisture over and through the town, while the hail fell upon the roofs and against the windows as if a shoe er of stones had been dis charged from above. Fortunately the storm did not last more than five or ten minutes, or it must have effected great destruction of property. After it bad passed there was a lull for a time; but the wind, which was from the north-west, soon rose again, and blew strongly throughout the night. During and after the storm the weather became almost as cold as winter.•- Blac4burn Standard. .- - May you be pleased, General, to accept the most fer veLt thanks of an honest friend of freedom. Let me hop, that, should _ Mr. Ujhazy (my oldest and best friend, and present representatit e in the United Stet( s), in the interest of the holy cause to which you have so generously your protection accorded, addresses himself to You for something which you might, in your wisdom, judge convenient and practicable, you wig not withhold from us your pnwerful support; and please to accept the assurance of my highest esteem and most peculiar veneration.

I thought it my duty to address you in your ()an language. • COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, MONDAY. The Queen and Prince walked early this morning in Osborne park and grounds. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and younger members of the Royal Family, walked and rode as usual. This being the birthday of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Royal Marine Band attended early this morning at Osborne, and played the follow ing pieces c f music :—" The Prince Hymn," " The Cobourg March;" selection, "Le PropLete;" Waltz, " Schortzblatil," and " God save the Queen." BIRKENIIEAD.—On passing through this town a pleasing contrast presents itself in the general appearance of the place, compared with what it exhibited twelve months ago. The utmost activity now prevails along the whole of the Cheshire shore, down to Wallasey Pool. About 1,500 m n are employed in making the docks and the immense float, and it is believed that some of the docks in the locality of Wallasey Pool will be ready to admit vessels in the be ginning of October. The shipbuilding yard of Mr. Wilson, at Birkenhead, is in a complete state of readiness for work, arid a few days ago the keel of a first-class frigate for the Brazilian Government was laid. Mr. Wilson's graving dock will admit of the largest steamer afloat. There are few shops now empty; business is becoming more brisk, and almost every house in Birkenhead and Tranmere is occupied. REDUCTION OF INTEREST.—The banking-houses in Glasgow have just announced that the interest allowed on deposit receipts (thst is, the more permanent kind of depo sits) will be reduced to the same rate as that allowed upon the daily balances of current accounts, making a uniform rate of two per cent. on all moneys lodged with them. Two of the Edinburgh banks have also made the same announce ment. Sir Francis Baring returned to his residence at the Admiralty on Saturday from Southampton. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has left Ardve rikie, Kingussie, and proceeded to Glenquoich, En vergarry. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office, from the Governor of South Australia. L %DIES FASH;ONS—NOVELTY IN ALPACAS. — good deal of attention has been cuused by the introduc tion of a new description of decorative Fabric, the patent of Mr. Robert Milligan , of Bing le y , Yerk. and made public through the extensive house of Messrs. Milligan, Forbes, and Co , of Bradford. The material itself, is made of fine alpaca, and ornamented in the highest and most artistic manner, by stripes and figures on delicately tinted silk floated on the surface, this silk receiving in its turn, bright colours of flowers, &o. The richness thus obtained is very great, and resembles the efftct of embroidery. Whilst from the firm and close texture of the silk itself; tie goods will wear much better than if worked by the needle. There certainly has not been so Elegant or useful a novelty in dress goods pre viously produced in the fancy trade of the north, nor one so likely to find favour with the ladies. The patent is likewise applicable to manufactured goods, known as oobourghe, orleans, damasks, &c. &c., even to a new style of ribbon, which, we understand , will make their ap pearance shortly. Upon their introduction we shall have much pleasure in recurring to the subject. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—Mee. Fanny Kemble yes terday concluded her series of readings from the plays of Shakspere. The play chosen was the First Part of King Henry theFourtla As in every preceding instance. Mrs. Kemble made us feel the purpose and intent of the great poet in a manner which no actor, expositor, or lecturer has before achieved. The delineation of each individual character was perfect. On the stage we are wont to see some one great artist in some one favourite part, the rest of the scene beirg so marred by inaccurate reading and incompetent representa tion that the " bright particular star" is seen through hazy fogs, which becloud and confound its splendour. In the hands of Mrs. Kemble, the whole of the glorious picture is exhibited in its matchless entirety. No doubt, the speech of Hotspur, in explanation of his refusal of the prisoners, was a wondrous specimen of declamation:; and the character of Falstaff was produced in the boundless fulness of its humour. But the slight sketch of Lady Percy was there in its graceful perfection, as carefully and as exquisitely given as any of the characters on which more dependence is usually placed. We cannot doubt that an entertainment so elevating in its cha racter. and so justly popular, will be resumed at an qu ea is r i l t y e period. Mr. Mitchell deserves the thanks of the public, for this as well as for the general management of his ex theatre. GREAT NOVELTY It( AEROSTATION.—Mr. Graham, the husband of the celebrated but unfortunate aeronaut, Mrs. Graham, whose balloon was recently seriously injured by fire, has not only repaired the aerial machine, but announces his intention of completing its inflation with hydrogen gas, manufactured by himself on the spot, prior to his wife's ascent in it from Cremorne-gardens to-morrow. To the scientific in such matters this experiment is a question of great inte rest. Mr. Graham is the only aeronaut who has succeeded in the use of hydrogen ; he has, we believe, ascended on four occasions, in a balloon inflated salely with hydrogen gas. T Ili LATE ACCIDENT AT TII E BRICKLAYERS' ARMS STATION—On Sunday morning last, by permission of the authorities, a Lumber of the officers ' porters, and others employed at the above station attended Divine service at St. Al ary Southwark, Old Kent-road, to offer up their public thatiltgiving for their providential preservation when the accident occurred on Wednesday last. A most suitable and very impressive sermon was preached on the occasion by the Itt v. C.

Great dependence was placed on this week, the weather being fine and the appearances good, but there seems to be no great body of fish on the coast. The number of boats now fishing here amounts to 804, being nearly equal to last year. • The highest boats for the past week ranged from 3 t to 56 crans. The general average for the season is now 53 crans per boat, being 15 crans per boat under that of last year at the same period, and 28 crans under 1848. The fishing of 1.49 was the heaviest i n record. The fishing this year, taking in the whole coast, is considerably under that of any season for the last ten years, except at Lybste -, where it is a full average one. On Friday and Saturday last, we learn that the fishing was heavy on the Fife coast, and prices of green fish at Anstruther receded to 6s. per crass on Saturday. The fishermen there expected a very heavy take this week ; but for a little time the most part will be bought up by Frenchmen. There were upwards of 60 French ves sels there to purchase green fish when our correspondent wrote. Prices of cured fish at Wick remain at former quota tions, of 14s. 6d. per unbranded. and 15s. for branded. A good many purchases have been made at that, and this price, it is expected, will be fully maintained, considering the very light fishing we have had. The total quantity of herrings caught at Wick this season is rather better than 42,000 barrels, f which there have been shipped—coastwise, 14,00 ; foreign ; total exports, 19,000 barrels. DRINKING BRANDY FOR A WAGER.—Yesterday morning, about five, a young man on the establishment of l!dr. Norckef, marble dealer, of King William-street,Charing cross, died, under the following circumstances : —lt appears that the deceased on Sunday night agreed with some com panions, for a ti itling wager, to drink a pint of brandy and then walk to London -bridge. It is believed that he accom• plished the wager, and was then conveyed home, where he remained in a state of stupor till the hour above-mentioned when he died. The necessary information has been forwarded to the coroner for an inquest on the body. Her Majesty has appointed the Earl of Chichester to be First Church Estates C. mmissioner, and John George Shaw Lefevre. Esq., to be Second Church Estates Commis sioner, the former with a salary. NEWTON FLANNEL MAREET.---TheTe Wfts not a large supply of goods in the market last week, and the at tendance of buyers was not numerous; there was, however, a good amount of business transacted.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 27, 1850. Though in public the King was an incessant and ra.ber egotistical talker en ordinary topics of no mo ment, yet he spoke but little at cabinet councils, genera;ly listening very attentively. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FRoM THE MuRNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The closing scene of the life a Louis Philippe of Orleans, once the Sovereign of a great people, the soldier of one revolution, the conqueror of a second, and the victim of a third—of the Prit.ce who seemed to control the destinies of France and the policy of Europe at the very moment when a tumult in the streets of Paris and a mob c f madcaps hurled him from the throne —adds but one brief line to a most eventful history. Tho great epoch of his career ended with the 24th of Febru ayry, 1848. Thenceforward England has afforded to - him the last services of hospitality—an asylum and a grave. A stream of great events Las hurried us along high incoact ivable velocity from that point at which Louis Philippe and the world parted company; but on this solemn occssion, when Death has placed the irrevocable seal on all the vicissitudes of his life, we look back to the whole rem(' of his singular existens-e, and we shall attempt to trace some faint likeness of his character, when he seemed to have attained the height of sovereign ambition, rather than in the confusion and disgrace of his fall. That, after all, was the work, almost the accident, ot an hour; but the annals of a reign of nearly 18 years, and the peculiarities of his character and policy, are imperishable subjects fur the meditation of the statesman and the historian. Louis Philippe, King of the French, was distinguished among all the mod who have figured with equal promi nence on the stage of history and in the government of mankind, by the absence of those transcendant powers if intellect, those inordinate passions, those imposing vir tues, or those daring crimes which commonly mark the annals of human greatness. But for those perilous guts of genius and or power he substituted a singular com pound of the minor qualities of human nature. Whe ther for good or evil, these constituted the large aggre gate of his character, and in forming a correct judgment of this remarkable man it would be equally dangerous to exalt him into a sage and a hero, or to degrade htm into a selfish oppressor. Good sense, thrift, caution, knowledge of the world derived from experience rather than from intuition, patience, self control, and keen self-interest were the plain materials of a character which was cast in no heroic mould. These - qualities of the lesser order were dilated in his person to very un usual proportions, and applied to very unusual ends; but they never lost the stamp of what must be termed, for want of a more appropriate phrase, the vulgarity of their nature. The impulses of enthusiasm, the glow of imagination, the pursuit of a great scheme of action, the indulgence of large sympathies or desires in policy or in government, were unknown to his character and to his reign. On one or two occasions intense acquisitiveness, animated by an unusual excess of tradi tional pride, tempted him to deviate into a passion, and imitate the policy of the loftiest of his ancestors. Occa sionally his aversions prevailed over his better judgment, and in the last few months ,of his reign his temper be came testy and his resolutions incautious, under the growing effects of age. But these were exceptions to the general spirit of his government, and the transac tion to which we more particularly allude was entangled in a web of minute contrivances and intrigues which seemed partially to conceal from the aged Monarch him self the amount of his own rashness, and the conse quences of his design. Whenever the history of his teign is accurately written, it will be found to have been conducted and regulated by an astonishing adapta• tion of petty methods to great ends—by carefully avert ing those explosions of energy which are apt to dis turb the cause they were intended to serve—by an invariable and ingenious use of all the means afforded by the current circumstances of the day—and by lowering the standard of govern ment to that of the middle classes of society, instead of inciting the nation to participate in the triumphs of military or the excitement of popular power. It was strange that at any time such methods of government should enthral the genius of a high-spirited, martial, and fretful people, and that the French nation should have surrendered so much of its natural impetuosity to so homely a spell. But the result has ultimately shown that the spirit of the nation secretly burned tor other objects, and would even brave the excesses of revolution and the risks of despotism to escape from the temperate routine of the government of the middle classes. The Highland youth in the shop of Simon the Glover, of Perth, was not more out of place than the French peo ple in the apprenticeship of a limited constitution. It would be inconsistent with the essential qualities which we ascribe to Louis Philippe's character to suppose that at any period of his life he was excited by dreams of vast ambition, or enabled by constancy of purpose to look on wards from the hardships of exile and proscription to the recovery of the throne of France. Fur his own hap piness —and, we will add, for his greater success—his aspirations were confined within narrower limits. At one time, indeed, as in the curious transactions ot 1811, ambition seemed to invite the Duke of Orleans to play a more active part in the Spanish war; at another, Greece, and even Mexico, allured him by the phantom of a throne; but these adventures were nut seriously pur sued, and be sate down after the restoration of the Bourbons contented, or at least resigned, to be the first Prince of the blood in France, and one of the richest per soisages in Europe. Yet, even in those uncertain years, his vigorous mind was not inactive. He alone of all tee Princes of the House of Bourbon had spent his life iu a contest if policy with the principles of the French Revo lution. He dote had etsempted to assume whatever garb the spirit of the age imposed on him, and to pr fit by the lessens of his past experience. A sterner and a ; rsuder man would have died a hundred dt aths rather than condescird to humour the popular passions, which twice in his life uncrowned his nearest reds lives, and finally turned upon himself. Louis Philippe was affected by no such scruples; and no sooner did he find that terms were proffered to him by those who might then I ave driven him into a second exile, than he ascended the throne under the auspices of a popular revolution. From that instant his policy changed; but though the current was turned, its move ment was slow, and at first all but insensible. "Ma Tulle tenace contre 1' anarchic" (to use his own expres sion) became the settled purpose of his reign. The dazzling career of a Napoleon, and the blind resistance of a Charles X., were alike impossible; yet the same, or even greater result?, were to he accomplished by a sedulous employment of slender but multifarious means; and those results were supposed to have been accom plished so eff,ctually that nut only had the Court and the Ministry the firmest reliance upon their success, but even the Republican party had postponed the execution of its designs until the King's demise. The Revolution of February was alike untorsoan by all parties, and this confidence was undoubtedly the cause of the extraordinary neglect of the decisive measures which might have pre vented it. The military exploits of Louis Philippe were limited to one campaign under Dumourit z, when he had not completed his twentieth year, and although he took a part in the actions of Jcinmapes and Valmy, those in cidents in his life were only recalled when it was politic to connect his name with the prowess of the Republican armies. But of courage on all occasions but the last and greatest of his life the King displayed no ordinary share. He had braved without a trace of hesitation dangers in comparison with which the heat of battle is a game. For many years of his reign the attempts at as sination were so frequently repeated in every imaginable form that a man of a less hearty courage could hardly have left his palace gates with indifference. Yet his com posure was scarcely ruffled by these hateful crimes, and without either fatalism or religious enthusiasm he inva riably presented a cheerful and resolute presence to his deadliest enemies. These personal qualities are so well known that it is the less possible to conceive under the influence of what panic ho absconded from the Tuileries, when half an hour of resolution at the head of 12,000 men who filled the Carrousel would have changed the issue of his life and the destinies of Europe. But on that fatal morning the King was no longer himself; he was unnerved, he was old, and ho fled from the revolu tion, leaving everything in the dust. There certainly the high spirit of the House of Bourbon utterly failed him. On all occasions it bad been at once his greatest art and his greatest trial to keep the pride of his royal race from awakening the hostile passions t f the country. In the interior cf the closet and the palace ho snowed himself minutely versed in all that characterised the lives and policy of his predecessors. A parallel between himself and Louis XIV., even in personal features, was one of the points on which his vanity rested with most complacency. The golden sun gleamed cove more upon the velvet canopy of the throne of France; and it has been said that no consequences of the revolution of 1830 were more regretted by the King than the loss of thefltur de his and if the riband of the Holy Ghost. Nothiug could exceed the minute detail in which every incident of every subject, past, present, or to come, presented itself to his mind, and passed under the scrutiny of his indefatigable industry. His memory was of the most comprehensive kind, especially as ap plied to 1 ersons and events, for in books he was little versed; and hence his conversation was extraordinarily copious and animated. All subjects were alike welcome to him, and there was nothing on which he had not in formation enough to converse or curiosity to inquire. Yet in all this marvellous display of readiness that magical touch was always wanting which converts the products of the intel:eat into the finest forms of elo quence or wit ; in the whole range of his daily conver sation we know of no recorded instance of one of those winged words or subtle combinations of language which lay bare a truth or search a mind; his love of the arts was profusely cultivated, but it wanted the delicacy of a refined twit.) and a chastened judgment. and all the t.ctivity cf his bustling existence seems not to have added oneimperish able thought to the world. The same want of elevation pervaded his moral as well as his intellectual being. To him great principles were matters of as little concern as great truths. Perhaps at the bottom the tuition of Madsme do Geniis, the Jacobin Club, and the rough usage of his early life had left him sceptical of boo. Hence, however, proceeded the greatest errors of his policy, and the just cause of his final di-comfiture. Man has a larger appetercy for truth and rectitude than to be permanently contented vii h tricks and expedients. The principle of the King's reign %vita to live without his subjects as best he could. llis immediate predecessor hue perished in an att. ml t to revive the principle of the French Monarchy as of old, end ti,e principle ef the French Republic was apparently lulled to sleep. All that could be done was to borrow as much as could be borrowed with impunity from the one and the ether. Perhaps from wisdom, perhaps from necessity, per- haps from personal pride, Louis Philippe contributed nothing to the regular estabishment of a constitutional Government in France, and he suffered in his own person the penalty of his personal reign. No Prince less qua lified by natural effrontery and long e xperience could have played the part which Louis Philippe acted for so many years. He was the greatest muster of what must be termed the craft of kings that the world had beheld for map than p century, and he tiodopted the illailenCV Of Royalty, aided 'by his own personal dexterity, to the manners of a captious and democratic age. In all pat ties, in all professions, in - every walk of life, and every mood of passion, th e Ki ng l ove d to practise his powers of address. Few aen within his sphere were inacces sible to his persuasive ingenuity, and it may be said that he disarmed more enemies fly his tongue than he would have done by the rigour of persecution. For this pur pose Ito hospitality cf the Tuileries was indiscrimi nately offered to men of all parties, and the King consi dered no affront unpardonable but that of a total estrangement from the Court, and no man irreclaim ab'e but those who refused to listen to him. In the pur suit of his objects by these means he displayed incredible patience, drollery, and cunning. Even in dealing with his bitterest enemies—those who were leagued against his throne, and who had attempted his life, he invaria bly observed an admirable clemency, which for the first tnse msrked a great politicaLrevolution. It will bo re membered when all his other acts are forgotten that from the commencement to the end of his reign no blood was shed but that of convicted assassins, and of some few deluded insurgents in the heat of popular contests. From all such et .in. the govt roment of Louis Philippe is pure; and an excessive reluctance to occasion the effusion of blood was os e cause of his overthrow and ruin. And if he r• pounced the use of these dreadful means t f civil re pression, so also did he successfully oppose and avert the perils of European war. We have seen that his a hole pelicy was repugnant to the viol( ut measures and the. hazardous adventures of more enterprising minds; but it is not the less creditable to his name that he should have persevered through good and evil report in the that sled act adherence to the cause of peace which has prolonged a million of tuman lives, averted incalculable miseries, and strengthened the confi.tence of nations in those ties which have, for the first time, grown to ma turity between them. A peaceful retn of 17 years over the most warlike people of Europe, still panting with the fever of a revolution, and mindful of the re• verses which closed the last war, is a phenomenon with out a parallel in political history; and the merit of him who accomplished this great work of policy is but the more conspicuous amidst those apprehensions which have followed his downfall. He undoubtedly revived many of those practices which had thrown discredit on the diplomacy of France in former reigns. His duplicity was such that nothing but the singular influence of his conversational powers could have given any value to his assurances, and he exulted in the success of his schemes, without the slightest reference to the propriety of the means which had been employs d to serve them. The inevitable consequence of a government carried on by these arts was, that the deeper the hold it seemed to acquire by such practices upon the party which it could command, the less it could reckon upon the respect and support of the na- ' tion at large; and the more complete the King's personal system of control became, the less could be have trans ferred it to any other bands. It began and ended with himself. The authority he enjoyed in his own family was unbounded, and that control which few absolute monarchs have possessed over the princes of their own race was complete in the hands of Louis Philippe. He owed it to his playful disposition, which even at the close of his life could lay aside his cares and dignity to join in ale sports of a child. He owed it to the singu lar judgment he had shown in the education of his sons, and not less to their invariable confidence in his indul gent solicitude for their welfare. After they had reached the prime of manhood and assumed the duties of married life, his sons continued to inhabit the same palace and to form a part of the same domestic circle. Without any excessive display of paternal authority, the Royal Family continued wholly dependent on the King's advice and pleasure, and the divided interests of a Court were unknown. Nor in this allusion to the domestic ties of his life must the names of those be omitted who shed over it the steady light of conjugal love and sisterly friendship. The purity and piety of the Queen, to whom he was devoted with the most undeviating fidelity and affection, seemed to plead against the imperfections of his character, while the clear judgment and decision of Madame Adelaide held as it were a lamp to his path. It is remarkable that the death of his sister was so speedily followed by the great catas trophe of his reign, and that the Queen alone endea voured to prevent the closing and irretrievable fault of his abdication. These near influences of his family gave to one portion of his life at least a moral dignity and a charm of sentiment to which he had no other claim; and however men may have doubted the sincerity of his words, there is no reason to question the truth of those affections. In the more ordinary trausactions of life he has been accused of an excessive love of money, and it is true that he judged of the value of human actions and principles by too sordid a standard. But he ex pended his prix ate fortune with great muni ficence, the public revenues with prodigality; and he was less prone to amass money than to devote it to the purchase of popularity and po litical power. When suddenly driven back into exile, he who had been accused of amassing wealth had barely the means of obtaining the necessaries of life, and it has recently been proved, by the publication of the ac counts of the civil list, that his average personal ex penses did not exceed 4001. a year. Of all his personal tastes, that of building was perhaps the strongest, and the restoration e f the Palace and Museum of Versailles at his own cost, the embellishment of Paris, and the re storation Ef the antiquities of France are splendid mon uments of his reign. Although the administration of the public finances was inordisately profuse, immense sums were expended in public Edifices of every kind, which remain for the ornament and utility of the country. In Pans alone Louis Philippe terminated all the great buildings which Napoleon had begun. He inherited from the i.-gent Orleans a love of sc'ence -nd even a tees) for medicine ; and he had acquired in his travels a fondness, not common in a French Prince, for marine amusements. But the cult tmary entertainments of a Court, the chase, military exercises, and play were comparatively unknown in his day, and they were secrificed to the exi gencies of public opinion in a democratic com munity, ever j•alous of the pleasures of Princes. Per haps in these minute details the character of the mas may be traced even more consistently than in his political actions. Ile rose without moral greatness, he reigned without the affection of his people, and he fell without the corn as-ion of the world. The last hours of his reign sere a prey to an undignified panic; his determina tions fluctuated bet eeen the extremes of weakness and absurdity; and in his selfish eagerness to preserve the unhonoured fragment of a life which no one seriously menaced, he recoiled from the necessary Exercise of force, and left the French nation exposed to all the horrors of anarchy. That great event dissipated in an hour the whole fabric of his life, and left him despoiled of all that wealth, ambition, power, and artifice could bestow on man. The deepest lesson of human mutatility which this generation of men bad witnessed was com plete; and death has mercifully drawn its veil over the last struggles of old age, enfeebled, uncertain of the future, abandoned by the creatures of his former bounty, and vanquished by the revolutionary powers of France which I) living man has yet permanently subdued. POST.—It is impossible to contemplate without sen sations of the deepest interest the announcement which records the death of Louis Philippe. The dignity of his birth, the tragic horror of his family history, the vicissitudes and huriships of his individual existence, the storm and earthquake which shook the earlier For- Lion of his public career—all these things could not have failed to render his story an eventful one, even had it wanted those thrilling chapters of its conclusion—the zenith of exaltation, the ignominious fall—the palace of the Tuileries. and the retreat of Claremont. Viewing the whole c f these particulars, the closing scene of Louis Philippe's life strikes us as more emphatically signiEcant then c van that of his predecessor Charles X., with whose position he contrasted his own on one remarkable occasion, and whose destiny, so curiously involved in and parallel to his, mast have frequently fur nished fool for rtllsction in the lcng leisure hours at Claremont. True it is that the transition of our ideas, from the you'h of the Comte d'Artois, the gayest of the gay revellers who danced over the frightful abyss which was to yawn beneath them, to the quiet re tirement of the grey discrowned King in his exile at Gratz, constitutes a survey of startling interest; but the fortunes of Charles X. are of a simple character enough. Trained in the school of those pleasure-seekers of the old regime with whose society the bright morning of his life was so necessarily associated, he could never thoroughly divest himself of those habits of thought to which his recollections would naturally cling with greatest fondness, never altogether appreciate the altered itifleeaces with which he had to deal. It is the ordinary misfortune, perhaps, of those who are actively engaged in a restoration" that they ignore the existence of the residuum which is invariably is ft by the retiring ele mews of disorder; that, in watching the ebb of the re volutionary deluge, they lose sight of the new strata which it has upheaved. Such, however, was by no means the case with Louis Plsillipe. His training had been, in the first instance, somewhat different from that of his royal cousin; it had better prepared him to ac commodate himself to the tremendous changes which swept over his country, and which tested his capabilities in this respect to the utmost. Again, he was by cir cumstances removed from that active participation in the restored Court of the Bourbons which might, perhaps, have d- zzled his eyes to the same extent as those of the other branch of his family. But whether it is to be at tributed to the force of circumstances, or to his own na tural sagacity, certain it is that no man appears to have better understood the elements with which he had to deal than Louis Philippe. To none could the task have been better assigned than to him, of re-constructing t l h B a 3 t o s ; y l s i t l t a ' m t j o s , f F a s r s e u , n in e nsociety thew h itcah, task a w d a s c o t l a l a p b e s ed p e i r n . formed wide.- the same conditions which were imposed originnt tosit ofepoch.a dynasty,lfpolitical fine s se could have secured the the man t o e ff ect it.

Without striking a blow, without saying a word, it sur rendered the moat complicated and artificial system of government that was perhaps ever devised, to the most clumsy and pureoseless revolution that ever was at tempted. As we involuntarily contrast the career of Louis Philippe with that of his predecessor, so it is not less curious to wa , ch it in relation to that of his successor.

The King h%d been made aware of his approaching dissolution early on Sunday, in the presence of the Queen, and receiving with calmnet.s the melancholy information thus first br o k en to hi m, prepare d f or th e final arrangements which ho wished to make. After a conversation with the Queen, he dictated, with a remarkable clearness of mind, a conclusion to his memoirs, in order to complete a his'ory Which ill ness had compelled him to suspend for more than four months. He then caused to be summoned his charlain, the Abbe Guelle, all his children and grandchildren who were at Claremont at the time, and in the presence of the Queen and his family, he discharged every duty of religion with the most perfect Christian resigna - tion, a stoical firmness, and a simplicity which is the real evidence of human greatness. He then remained for some time surrounded by his family. Towards seven o'clock in the evening the debility from which the King had been suffering appeared to have passed over, and fever came on, which continued during the night with much violence, but without disturbing the composure of mind which never abandoned his Majesty. He expired at eight o'clock yesterday morning, in the presence of the Queen and the follow ing members of his family :—Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Orleans, the Count de Paris, the Duke de Chartres, the Duke and Duchess de Nemours, the Prince and Princess de Joinville, the Dake and Duchess d'Au male, the Duchess Augusta de Saxe-Coburg, and the attached attendants of the Royal household. Louis Philippe was the eldest son of Louis Philippe Joseph, Duke of Orleans, and of Marie, the only daughter of the wealthy Duke of Penthievie. Ile was born in the city of Paris, on the 6th of October, 1773, and was consequently in his 77th year. Ile was at the head of the Orleans branch of the Bourbon family, which originated in Philippe, a son of Louis the Thirteenth, created Duc d'Orleans by his elder brother, of whom the ex-King was the grandson's great grandson. Phillippe, the first Duke of Orleans, was twice married, his last wife being Elizabeth Charlotte, of Bohemia, grand-daughter of James I. of England. It was from this lady that the Orleans family descended, and through her has b en traced a direct relationship to the line of Stuart. When a minor, Louis Philippe was entitled Duke of Valois, but on his father succeeding to the title of Duke of Orleans in 1785, he became Duke of Chartres. He was, with his brothers and sisters, placed under the superintendence of Madame de Geniis, and under her tuition they were taught the English and other lan • guages. Of the political movement in 1789 the countess and her husband were warm adherents, and they failed not to impress their sentiments on the young minds of their charge. Louis Philippe was introduced, whilst very young, a member of the Jaco bin Club, and was frequently present at its sittings. In June, 1783, he proceeded to Vendome, where a popular commotion took place in consequence of a number of clergymen refusing to take an oath, he being at that time appointed to an honorary colonelcy in the 14th Regiment of Dragoons. At this place he saved the lives of the non-juring clergymen, who were about being killed by the police. Some time after this irneute he saved the life of a citizen of Ven dome, who was rescued from drowning only by the heroic efforts of the Duke. For his intrepidity he was presented with a civic crown. About two months after going to Vendome he quitted the garrison with his regiment, and proceeded to Valenciennes, in the north of France, where he continued his military avocations. About the middle of April, 1792, war was declared against Austria, and now Louis Philippe made his first campaign. At the head of his troops he fought at Valmy, in September, 1792, and after wards, on November 6, at Jemmapes, under Dumou riez. While the Duke was engaged in repelling the foreign armies which menaced the tottering fabric of the French monarchy, the revolution was hastening to its climax. The monarchy being extinguished, and the King and his family placed in confinement, a decree of banishment was hastily passed against all other members of the Bourbon Capet race. This act of proscription, however, was as summarily re pealed. On the 21st of January, 1793, the unfortunate Louis XVI. was executed, and on the 6th of No vember the Duke of Orleans (Egalite) was tried be fore the revolutionary tribunal, on a charge of con spiring; against the nation, was condemned, and guillotined. At that period the Duke of Chartres fled into the Belgian Netherlands, then under Austria, where he was courteously received, but he refused to t a k e u p arms against France. For some time he was subject to great privations, frequently journey ing on foot, with a pack on his back, and shoes worn out, and sometimes fearful of discovery. lie, however, ma naged to get an introduction to the teacher of an academy at Reichenau, in the Grisons. Here, under a feigned name, and without being recognised, he taught geography, and the French and English languages for many months. In consequence of some political troubles, the Duke of Orleans for such he was now entitled to be called, after the de cease of his father—left Switzerland, and travelled through a great part of Europe, residing for some time in Denmark, without the knowledge of the French Government. Through his mother, the Duchess of Orleans, a communication was made, that if he went to America the sequestration should be taken from his property, and she would be made more comfortable, and her two other sons, Montpen sier and Beaujolais, should be released from prison, and permitted also to embark for America. To this proposition the Duke of Orleans acceded ; and ac cordingly, on the 24th of September, 179t3, he em barked for Philadelphia, which he reached after a passage of 27 days, and where he was joined by Montpensier and Beaujolais. Whilst here they learned that a law had been passed in France decreeing the expulsion of all the Bourbon family from the country, and that their mo ther had been deported to Spain. Their object was now to join her, but owing to their pecuniary cir cumstances, and to the war between England and Spain, this object was not easily accomplished. After many extraordinary adventures, however, they reached England, and having proceeded to London, they shortly afterwards took up their quarters at Twickenham. The English Government having al lowed the Duke of Orleans a free passage in a frigate to Minorca, he proceeded thither, expecting to find the means of passing over to Spain. From the con vulsed state that country was in the expedition proved fruitless, and he was obliged to return back to England again, retiring to Twickenham; at which place the Duke of Montpensier died on the 18th of May, 1807, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. At the invitation of King Ferdinand of Naples, the Duke of Orleans visited Palermo, where he gained the affections of the Princess Amelia, the second daughter of the King, and in -1809 they were mar ried. In 1814, intelligence reached Palermo that Na.e e a . n o t h o e t th t e l , l e l ß Bt o h ur o - f p b o o l o e s on w e h r a e d t a o b b d e ic r a e t s e t d or t e h d e t t o hr F o r n au e, the iu honourlBls brokedue t o u p them. his ar rangements, May he arrived in Paris, when, in a s h ort t i me, h e was et in e r the u e r n n o joy f m Napoleon of and he again went to reside in Twicken ham. On the return of Louis X.VIII , after the hun dred days, an ordinance was issued, authorising, ac cording to the charter as it then stood, all the princes of the blood to take their seats in the Chamber of Peers, and the Duke returned to France in s sptem _ ber, 1815. Here he distinguished himself by a display of liberal sentiments, which were so little agreeable to the Administration that he returned to England, where he remained till 1817. He then returned to France, but was not again summoned to sit in the Chamber of Peers. He therefore remained in private life for some time, when an unexpected scene was opened, viz., the revo lution of 1830, during which the King was in effect discrowned, and the throne vacated. In this emer gency the Provisional Government, which had arisen out of the struggle, and in which Lefittr, L a f ayette, and other peliiicians had taken the lead, turned to wards Lows Philippe. A negotiation with him was opened, and after a few day s consideration he acceded to the request, and at n oon, on the 31st of July, be went to Paris, and accepted the office which had been assigned to bin:. On the 21 of August the abdication of Charles X. and of his son was placed in the hands of the Lieutenant-General; the abdication, however, Duke of Bordeaux.

There is an instance for Juvenal or Johnson, of the instability of human greatness, the vanity of 1 man wishes! Surely there must be a melancholy m3rat borne from that death-Led even to the ears of the winner in the game! Like the legacy of Lady Jane Grey to her cruel cousin on the throne— - Haud aliena putes homini quat obtingere possunt: Sors hodierna mihi, eras erit ills tibi. Such a moral is more than a mere warning borrowed from the general chapter of accidents. Louis Napoleon is now, to all appearance, treading in the same path which Louis Philippe has trodden before him. The same experiments are before him; the fame golden round beckons him on, though he has not yet committed him self to the I erilous task of achieving it. If he has still that coofideece in his " star" which consoled him when his fortunes might have seemed desperate, and cons Acre himself bound to seek the altitude which common obser vation points at as almost within his warp, it is difficult to see what greater advantages he has to rely on than those which smiled on the outset of the Orleans dyt asty, and betrayed it to its ignominious exit; or whit greats r glean nta of endurance he can expect to clus•er round a second empire than w ere at the command of the most astute politician in Europe. DAILY NEWS. —The man, Louis Philippe, expired yesterdey at Claremont. The King, Louis departed this life some time previous. The latter was a great event; the shuffling oft the mere man's mortal coil is but a small one. His friends, however. way make a huge funeral pile if his private virtues, which were most exemplary in the narrow circle of his friends and his de pendents. Therein, indeed, he kept a kind of preserve of ail the virtues. But beyond the domain, beyond the paling which immediately surrounded the vicinisy of his household, he allowed few of these virtues to stray. And he can, perhaps, be best characterised as a politi cian, by saying that as such he was the direct contrary of what he was as a pere de famille. There is no greater px.ef, perhaps, of the profound unintelligence of our age, than the worship which was paid to him as a politician. Never did Oriental Brahmins build up for their idol a greater or a blinder mass of adoration than the priests of European politics, who lead and create opinion in all its capitals, reared up for Louis Philippe. And yet this great idol of the Liberal Conservatives, as they call themselves, spent the eighteen years of his reign astride the great country on which he weighed and over which he swayed like a nightmare. Throughout that time not one great or generous idea ever seemed to have germed in his mind. Of domestic policy, be yond the cajolery or bribery of a deputy, he had note. Of the condition, the wants, the economy, the ferment ing minds of hit; people, neither he nor the statesmen who served him knew aught. He and they actually lived and governed over a mass of volcanic matter in fu sion and ebullition, but covered over with certain layers of social earth, fair and verdant to behold. These wor thies were delighted and contented with the appear ance of the surface, nor ever thought to sound the depth, to try the temperature, or analyse the elements of the lava below. Their sole anxiety was t r stop every aperture, and stick their lois de rigueur in every cranny. By this they merely accelerated the explo sion. And amidst the many phenomena of that catas trophe there was none more portentous than the burst ing of that huge bubble, the kingcraft of Louis Philippe. The fact is, the very essence and end of government, the development, the foresight, insight, and contentment of a people's wants were utasrly unknown to the Solomon of London drawing-rooms and Parisian saloons. He believed, with several other great men by the bye, that policy meant diplomacy, and nothing more. As much a legitimist at heart as Charles 11. was a Roman Catholic, Louis Philippe felt convinced that he had filched a throne, and bow to keep his balance there was his sole object. Of the soil beneath him he knew little, as we said, and cared less. But of the powers around him in Europe he was frilly cogni sant, knew their weaknesses and their strength, their prejudices, their follies, and their magnanimity, where it existed. Amongst these he played, making use of England in the first years of his reign, as the only Go vernment that could aid and favour his par vcnu and in fant kingdom. As by degrees, however, be gained strength, years of possession and prestige, then he flung off the English crutch on which ho leaned, and which had actually served him as an instrument to subju gate Europe north and south of him, Belgium and Spain, to his will. Thus armed with the very power which we had provided for him, he flung himself into the alliance of the absolutist powers, and was em boldened by his friendship with them to play England and Spain, and his own relative, the young Queen of Spain, one of the filthiest and basest tricks teat ever disgraced man or politician. England's di?guat was great, but of course inoperative. But that of France was equally great. if not against the act, at least against him who perpetrated it. And never was the power of re tributive justice shown more signally and awfully than in the ruin of all concerned in the Spanish marriage from the suicide of it eir negotiator Bresson to the dethrone ment and expulsion at Louis Philippe and his Ministers. It is impossible to characterise the reign of the monarch without bringing forward these its greet facts, and with out expressing upon them a strong opinion. It is dic tated by a sense of justice, not re(enttnent. For the house of Orleans and its head have long ceased to excite any feelings of the kind. On the contrary, the demeanour of the fallen dynasty, and of all its members, has b( en irreproachet le. It has been dignified, resigned, bstra)ing no captious humour, indulging in no recri mination, no vain boasts, no restless attempts or idle in tripes. The King jut cire,ased was even supposed to recommend a post pont IM lit of the claims of the Orleans to that of the legitimist heir. The Duchess of Orleans would, however, r ever cone' nt to such a compromis. ; and the decease of Louis Plithppe is likely to have the ffect if communicating wore life and activity to the Orleaus party. DOCK CoMPANT IitiraoVEMENTS.—We bar it is intended by the Dock Company to construct a new railway the entire length of the three docks. Ihe railway is to cc m mence at the goods railway station, cross the Humber-dock Bridge in Wellington-street, and run on the tow n s id e of the HuacrJunction, and Old bucks, as far as the end of Low- gate. The old-tashi ined tram-roads now running by the side of the docks are to be removed. This will be a very great improvement, and will tend very much to reduce, if not entirely to remove, the charges for ‘ truckage" on goods shipped and unshipped. By the new system goods coming by railway for shipment can, without delay, inconvenience, or expense, be dropped by the side of the vessels for which they are intended, while, in like manner, t.'e carriages on their return can take up the goods delivered from shipboard for transportation by railway. Another improvement also designed by the Dock Conipany for facilitating the trade of the port, is the application of hydraulic power to their large crane, by which coals, &c., will be shipped with thrice the rapidity now attained.— Null Packet. INTEMPERANCE AND SUICIDE.-OD Sunday fifer. noon, a party of labouring men and their wives, all more or less intoxicated, were returning from Battersea, where they had begin spending the afternoon, when, of the Houses of Parliament, a Mrs. Shadbrook, residing in Queen's Head passage, C . aarles-street, Drury-lane, who bad conceived that an improper intimacy had taken place betwem a female of the party and her husband, in a frenzy of jealousy suddenly threw herself overboard. Mr. Sbadbrook, though unable to swim, leaped in to save his wife ; the unfortunate woman, however, who was very drunk, was not seen to rise again, and her husband was with difficulty dragged into the boat. The body was not recovered. SOYER'S MAGIC STOVE.—La Paine tells a story of a dispute between an English traveller and a douanier respecting the admissibility of Al. Soyer's magic stove. The douanier contended that it was hardware prohibited by law. The Englishman assured hint it was his kitchen, and seeing the custom-house officers looking rather incredulous, he quietly fixed the stove, lighted a brass lamp, produced from a kind of book one or two raw cotelettes ready egged and breaded, thr,w them into a microscopic fryingpao, and served them up in about a minute, to the great astonishment of the spectato's. The eouanier was not proof against this demonstration, and the stove was allowed to pass. POOLE, AUG. 26.—The embezzlement of the late actuary of the Poole Savings Bank, Joseph Barter Bloom field, deceased, is supposed by some to extend to 5,0001. or 6,0001. Mr. TIM Pratt was here on Saturday, and a Go vernment accountant is to be employed, in conjunction with an accountant in this neighbourhood, to examine into the affairs of the bank. The loss will be, it is supposed, to the depositors ss. in the pound. MR. ANDERSON, 11.1. P. FOR ORKNEY AND SHET LAND, AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.—This gentleman is making a tour of visits to the Islands of which be is the representa tive, with the view of tendering explanations of his i üblic conduct in Parliament during the past session. On the 14th instant he arrived at Stromness and addressed a numerous meeting in a long speech, which was received with great satisfaction by the electors. The following were the con cluding observations of the Hon. Member with respect to local grievances to which his constituents were exposed. The fist was that of "scat,"—the exemption from rates on the Crown and earldom property—the check to improvement formed by the Crown lands—inequality of road-money as sessments, &c., respecting which he bad pressed incessantly upon the Government the necessity of inquiry„and he be lieved he might say. that in a short time a Commissioner would be sent by Government to make inquiry into those matters on the spot, when it would be competent to every one who had any representation to make in reference to them, to do so direct to the Commissioner. (Applause.) The second object, and certainly not the least, was the im provement of the postal communication, by means of a steam• packet across the Pentland Firth. To obtain this he hal ustd every possible exertion, and having latterly in duced the General Shipowners' Society of London and the committee of Lloyds to take up the question, as one concern ing the shipping interest at large, the Government had, at last, taken the matter into serious consideration. having ascertained that Captain Otter, of her Majesty's ship Comet, had been directed to make a report upon Scrabster pier, and the practicability of stationing a steamer there for carrying the Orkney mails, he (Mr. Anderson) proceeded to Thurso on his way north, and had then met Captain Otter, had had a conference with him on the subject; and had ascertained that this officer had reported most favourably for the object in view; and he therefore hoped that it would not now be long before they would see this important object carried into effect.—(Great applause.) A vote of thanks to the Hon. Member was unanimously adopted, and he on the fol lowing day departed for Kirkwall in furtherance of his mission. BIRTMDAY OF THE PRINCE CONSORT —WINDSOR, MoNDAY.—This being the anniversary of the birth of the Prince Consort, when his Royal Highness enters upon his 32d year, the bells have been rung and salutes tired as usual. A public di._ ner to celebrate the auspicious event took place in the afternoon, at the Castle Hotel (William Hanson, Esq., the mayor, in the chair), which was attended by a numerous party, comisting of the principal inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood. In the evening the houses of many of the tradesmen of his Royal Highness were brilliantly illu minated. THE SUBMARINE TFLEGRAPH. — The wires for this important work are now in readiness, and are safely on board the steam-ship Goliath, now lying in Dover harbour. On the drum on which the wire is to be laid there is already,a considerable quantity coiled; and on the deck there is an ample reserve to be used when wanted.
