' - i ' s' * 'ion of the late Reform Meeting, Charles bi puke of Bordiaux took a country excursion on 44°, Duchess d'Angouleme had a fine view of Auld Reekie's citizens en nussae from an upper window the Palace. After Sir Thomas Lauder left the hustings, and had entered his carriage, the people disengaged the horses and pu ll e d hi m u p the Canongate, along the North Bridge, Prince's-street, &c. It passed Mr. J. A. Murray's house, the Chairman of the meeting. A young son of his ap peared at the window, waving a little flag, with the motto " Reform," and the cheers of the multitude, on seeing this juvenile display of patriotic feeling, were absolutely deafen ing. When the procession reached Moray-place, the dif ferent bodies drew tip in front of the Lord Provost's house, and on his Lordship making his appearance, they saluted him with three cheers. Mr. SERGEANT then addressed his Lordship to the fol lowing effect:— " My Lord, we have come here for the purpose of re turning you our warm acknowledgments for the very handsome manner in which you were pleased, as Chief Magistrate of the city, to give your sanction to the pro cession which has taken place this day. We are quite aware that your Lordship's political sentiments differ from ours; but that circumstance does nor, and never shall, prevent us from paying all deference and respect to the constituted authority of the land, and to rank and station every where, whatever the political biases may be with which they are accompanied." To this his Lordship replied nearly as follows : " Gentlemen, I beg you will accept of my thanks for this mark of your approbation. When I was asked, as eisief Magistrate of the city, to give my sanction to the procession which has taken place to-day, I had great plea sure in cheerfully complying with the request, beimg per fectly satisfied that the peace of the city could not be in trnsted to better hands than those of the working classes. It is true that my political sentiments differ from yours, hut this is a free country, where every man has not only an undisputed right to entertain, but also to give expres sion to, his political opinions, whatever those may be. 1 hope the measure which you have been this day discussing will realize all your exi ectations; and in again returning you thanks for this marked token of your approbation, I have only to add, that I hope you will all return peaceably to your homes." These remarks were received with tremen dous cheering, and waving of hats and handkerchiefs by the procession, and the dense crowd which accompanied it. In passing the Lord Advocate's, in Moray-place, they again halted, and gave three cheers. Previous to break ing up, the various parties of which it was composed sent each one of its members to return thanks to each other. The individual sent by the sons of Ireland, of whom four or five hundred marched under their banner, on attempt ing to speak, was almost overpowered by his feelings, as he said,—" Gentlemen, I feel, and all my countrymen present feel, from the inmost recesses of our hearts, your kindness to us this day. Noble citizens of Edinburgh, you have treated us as freemen and fellow-citizens; no insult has been offered to us; while in our country, in all processions we have met with nothing but indignity from certain el issea of our fellow-countrymen ; and, if not prevented by the police and soldiers, we were sur rounded and escorted by them like felons, and made to feel we were a degraded race. We again thank you, noble Scotsmen." One division returned by the Mound, and having reached the Cross, the band played " God save the King," the whole company uncovered. The evening was spent in a happy manner by the tradesmen, who met in parties to congratulate each other on the events of the day; and, allowing that only sixpence for refreshments was spent by each person who attended the meeting, somewhere about 1 5001. would go into circu lation. As a proof that the city was even more peaceably disposed than en ordinary occasion., not one case of riot or assault came before the police next morning. By half- past six o'clock, the whole procession had separated ; and by eight at night the city presented its usual appear ance.—Scotsman. & J.' --:- "-- __. ~ .., • • _ • . .: ...._, • . „.„....., 7.,.....

That impediments, however have been thrown in the way of such an arrangement by the subordinates of the French Post Office, under the in fluence of a few stock•jobbers, and others, who are anxious to keep the public in ignorance during two days out of the six, we know to be the fact ; and we are aim ni,,hed that the French, who pretend to have their Go vernment bureaux under good regulations, should so long have submitted to an abuse so injurious to the mercantile ;a terest.— Courier. FAILURE IN HIGII LIFE.—We understand that several tradesmen will be considerable losers by the failure of Mr. WATSON TAYLOR, at the West End. He occup ed a princely mansion at the corner of Harley. street. It occupied the artists and workmen upwards of four years in the embellishment alone, and hundreds of thousands were expended. His cliatelit at Eristoke likewise cost him an immense sum of money. On Monday the superb farniture was removed in waggons from the town mansion ;n Grafton -street, by the order of Mr. WATSON' TAYLOR'S solicitors, who put in tl,e first execution for four thousand and sixty pounds ; and Messrs. MILES, of Bristol, did the same thing, on the same day, at Eristoke Park for thirty thous ind pounds. the first process was for four thousand sand sixty pounds, the second for fourteen thousand five hundred pounds, the third for twenty-five thousand pounds. 'The service of plate, which was first used in Cavendish isquare fblr. Ta vao a's former residence), when the late 'KING anti the Duke of YORK dined there, elicited much admiration It «as the most massive and the richest in scrip ure in the kingdom-. So extravagant were the ideas formed of ti.e riches of Mr. TAYLOR, that his income was said to exceed half a million sterling.—Morn. Chronicle. It is understood that Ministers have it in contemplatian, as one of their measures of economical Re form, either to reduce the salaries of our Consuls abroad, and allow tham, by way of recompense, to trade as mer chants, or to fill up those official appointments by indivi duals all eadv engaged in c , mmerce. That this will effect a very considerable saving to the country, is not to be de i;ied ; but it is a matter about which much difference of opinion exists, whether there may net be disadvantages at tending the course proposed which will more than coun terbalance that saving. It is contended fur example, that merchants filling the post of Consul will be regirded with jealousy by other merchants residing at the same place, inasmuch as they will often obtain, by virtue of their office, the preference in consignments, and many other advantages over them ; and also, that the dignity of the office will suffer by devolving on a man who is not wholly indepen dent, In reply to these objections, it is readily admitted, that a merchant who acts as Consul may, and indeed ;mist, improve his connexions by it ; but it is n of there fore by any means admitted that the practice is ob jectionable, since he must previously have b, en of re spectatile standing as a merchant to entitle him to the ssppointment, and the increase of business which it brings s taut a fair return for the additional trouble thereby cre ated, Besides which, it is remarked, the selection of a merchant to act as Consul does at least insure his having some knowledge of the business to be performed, which. under the old system was very seldom the case. With out pointing to particular instances, all merchants engaged in extensive business will have sufficiently within their re collection the inconveniences which have been created through the selection as Consuls of younger sons of noble families, Ministerial hangers-on, half pay officers of the army and navy, and other persons, who, being wholly ignorant of commercial usage, were incompetent to a de is;on in any case of the slightest difficulty, not to mention that the thus making provision for those persons out of the public purse entailed an expense three or four times greater than was absolutely necessary. The practice of foreign countries has also been adduced in favour of the course pro posed, who almost wholly either employ merchants as con suls, or lay no restriction on their engaging in trade. That objection which regards the dignity of office is hardly thought worthy of a reply, for, in the feneral estimation, no character can stand higher than that of the well-con nected and intelligent merchant ; and those who main tain, therefore, that merchants ought to be consuls, will ;lot waste time in the comparison with the place-hunter and needy dependent on the Ministry of the day. On the whole, the arguments in favour of the proposed Reform must be allow ed to preponderate, referring only to that class whose interests it is calculat e d to affect ; but it is to be remarked further, that even th e a d vocates for the conti nuance of the old system do not all maintain that the country ought to continue to be saddled with the expense incurred for our foreign consulates, hut suggest that a duty of Sd. or 9 , /. per ton on the shipping, with mode rate salaries, as allowed before the late abuses sprung up in this branch of Ministerial patronage, would place this establishment on the fair and respectab:e footing suited to their views. Still it may lie doubted whether,in the pre sent low rate of profits, such a tax would be submitted to for such a purpose by the commercial and shipping inte rests at large. In addition to the proposed Reform with regard to the mode of remuneration to consuls, it is also understood that the appointments of Consfila-General will be almost wholly di.continued,-.. Times.

Adjutant-General's Office, Dublin, April 25, 1832. The Lieutenant-General commanding the army in Ire. land earnestly calls on the troops, during the prevalence of the formidable disease now raging in this city, and in other parts of the country, to avoid every thing like excess in drinking, and also not to enter such houses as are infected, or likely to be so. He appeals to each individual soldier for his own sake, for that of his comrades, and on account of the service to which he belangs, in the anxious hope that these considerations will induce him to take that care to avoid putting himself in the way of contagion which the occasion requires. Men on guard are particairly cautioned to have no intercourse with those filthy objects too fre quently found loitering about their posts. Officers com manding regiments will, as often as they can, take their corps into the field, and they will encourage such games as tend to afford exercise and amusement. The Lieutenant-General trusts that the good sense of the men will make them feel that any restrictions under which it may be deemed necessary to place them, should the danger become still greater than it now k are adopted only for the preservation of their health, to which the at tention of all officers must, if possible, be now more than ever directed. The Lieutenant-General has every reason to hope and believe, judging from what has occurred else where, that by proper attention and precautions the affliction so widely spre►ding amongst the lowest classes of society, may, in a great measure, be prevented from ex tending its ravages to the military. This order to be read to the men by officers commanding companies, at three successives p irades. By command of the Lieut. General Commanding, GEORGE D'AGUILAR, Dep. Adj.-Gen. We understand that an attempt is now to pro gress for ridding the high-minded and enlightened people of Scotland of the yoke of patronage, which nritht r they nor their 'athers have hem aisle to endure. A number of Presbyteries in the Established Church of Scotland have agreed to transmit overtures to the ensuing General As sembly, imploring them to pass a law for the purpose of vesting in the majority of the communicants or p trishioners in each parish a veto on the nomination of patrons. At present a call from the peopl e is necessary to the validity f a preaeotation ; the law now demanded is to make a call from the majority indispensable to the validity of pre sentations. This is no innovation, but the revival of a law which has become obsolete by the tyranny of the mo derate party, who were in the habit of forcing Ministers on parishes by the point of the bayonet. This party is ra pidly declining, and with the progress of knowledge iu Scotland their power :must 30J11 expire...—Chtha an Advocate. it of proper hat and the N. 7,262 36,149,900 1 ty is the amount of the s preceding grade in the sc B.—The country probate Vms sworn und, !ale. and administra ler for the purpose of obtaining probate; the net is a mean Mon duties are not classified.

Tutu.: I—Shows the number of persons who have died testate within a year possessed of personal property from TOOL to 500,000/., distinguishing the number at each amount of property, the rateand the amount of probate duty levied from each class. The Stamp Act requires ecclesiastical courts, before granting probate, to obtain an affidavit from the executors stating the value of the effects for which probate is granted to be under one of the grades mentioned in the schedule; upon the evidence of this affidavit the proper stamp is obtained from the Stamp-office and thus the materials for this document are obtained. TABLE ll—ls a similar view of those who died intesta* but it is to be observed, that both tables are confined to those whose residence or whose property brought them within the jurisdiction of the province of Canterbury. They constitute a half in number and two-thirds in value of the whole kingdom, and thus become important data in aiming at a classification of the holders of property. TABLE II I—ls the amount of probate and administration duty paid within the year for the whole kingdom, which, with Tables I. and IL, satisfactorily show the amount of personal property passing by death in one year. TABLE IV—Shows the excess of property proved over that on which legacy-duty is paid. TABLE V—Shows the number of those who have died within the year possessed of personal property, distinguishing those who left wills from those who did not. TABLE V I —Sh ows the total amount cf personal property in England, and the number of its possessors. TABLE Vll—Shows the amount of legacy-duty, and the property paid upon, at the several rates (which rat e s are regulated Sc. cording to the proximity of the consanguinity of the legatee to th e deceased), also the relative proportions of property passing x each rate. TAm. a Parliamentary paper, giving a clasiticanon of the fundholders. TAME IX—Shows the ...out of probate and administration duty levied on the personal property ; also the ammonia of legacy duty at the same time, whereby it appears that the aggregate of these imposts amounts to a tax of 41. Is. Sd. per cent. on the property passing annually from the dead to the living. From the whole, it appears that the personalty of the kingdom (treating the national debt as such) amounts to fifteen hundred millions, and the funds being eight hundred millions thereof, the latter pay annually in probate and legacy duties one million. THE NAAS LIGHTHousEs.—We arc happy to hear that the Lighthouses, which are now building on the Naas Point, in this county, are in state of great for wardness, and that the execution of the work roflects great credit on Mr. NELSON, the architect, and his nephew. The highest conical pillar will be 110 feet high, independent of its lantern; and the other, which is erected 1,000 feet to the westward of it, will be 75 feet high ; and they w ill contain, independent of the floors, about 3,200 tons of stone. The stone of which they are built is excellent, and is found on the co Ist ; many of them weigh about five tons, and are raised up the cliff by ma chinery erected on its very edge in a most ingenious and scientific manner. Many well-informed persons who have seen the masonry, consider it as the finest specimen of the art in this kingdom. We are likewise informed that when completed, the two lights are so contrived as to appear to vessels out of danger in the Channel as one ; but to vessels that are approximating the d,ngerous Tuscar rocks (that have been so fatal to many) the two lights will be very visible.— Cambrian. MENDICITY SOCIETY.—On Saturday the 14th anniversary meeting of this Society took place at the Freemasons' Tavern, Earl GROSVENOR in the chair. From the annual report, in the past year assistance had been granted to upwards of 1,200 persons; but the funds of the Society were now running very low, the expenditure of the last year having been 5,3971., the receipts, 3,9271., and the deficiency made up by the sale of stock, of which only 800/. now remains. This sum, with an expected legacy of 3001., is all that can be relied upon at present for meeting the exigencies of the coming year. ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY.--Witillll the last few days an elopement took place under somewhat singular circumstances, from a small village in or not far from Badenocli. A son of St. Crispin, whose knowledge of the English language does not exceed a fisher's dozen (14) words, having fallen into an unfathomable depth of love with a fascinating nymph from the Lowlands, who, on the other hand, knew nothing of Gaelic, contrived by sundry signs and otherwise to besiege her heart so success. fully that it capitulated after the temporary " holding out" of eight days. The hard heart of the damsel's father was not so easily to be molified. He presented a stern on yielding front to all his daughter's intreaties to consent to her marriage with the Knight of the Awl. What was to be done ? Love, like necessity, has no law. The languishing lady one day eluded the vigilance of the un feeling parent. and eloped with her gay Lothario. ' Where, reader, do you think the loving couple went to? Alas! there is no Gretna green in the Highlands of Scot land. For their greater safety from any pursuit that might he made after them, they fled to the hills (not in a coach and four, but by means of their legs), where the:, concealed themselves for three days and three nights. At the end of that time, beginning to get wearied of dens, and caves, and mountains, Crispin sallied out from his retreat, and sneaking to the manse of a neighbouring clergyman, implored marriage. " What's the bride's name ?" in quired tile clergyman. " o,!h she not know what his name be, but they call him Miss Something or other." The worthy Minister pitied the devoted swain, and de sired Donald to bring his bride. The colder displayed amazing alacrity in this part of the business. The blush ing bride was brought—the couple were married—they are happy. What would the delicate sentimental Duleineas who are whirled off in a coach and four to Gretna-green, say to an elopement like thi s , an d a res i dence of three drys and nights among the mountains befote marriage ? L . /7in Courier. Last night the rooms of the Royal College of Physicians were throw n open for the third evening meet ing. el paper written by Dr. lIEBERDEN, on the sub ject of infection, was read ; in which the author endea voured to prove the spread of the malignant choler a to be referable to contagion. The reasons which induce him to come to this conclusion are—the slow march of the disease, which precludes the supposition of its being communi cated by the atmosphere—its appearance in densely-popu lated places—and its absence from spots which have little external communication. The next point to which the Doctor adverted was the best mode of prevention ; and this he described to consist in cleanlines s and a general healthy state of the body ; and attributed th e m ild f orm which the cho'era bad exhibited in London to the care which had been token to purify all unwholesome places, on of the poor, and to better the conditi We regret to state that an unfortunate acci dent occurred o❑ Friday evening last, to a party crossing the sands at low water, from Park. gate to Flint. A man and two girls, supposed to be from 10 to 12 years of age, left the former place iu a market cart ; but being without a I,uide, and unable or unwilling to pay the extravagant sum of Ss. demanded for one, they unfortunately became in volved in the quicksands, and were overtaken by the tide, y which the three individuals and the horse were drowned. The horse and cart were found as far up the river as Con iliih's Quay, and subsequently the body of the man and that of one of the girls, dressed in black, were found...

(From the Lady's Magazine.) EVENING DRESS. Many beautiful novelties are still produced in evening dress; although, during this month, promenade costumes are of su perior importance in the world of fashion, yet, for evening parties, perfectly new and elegant costumes are constantly in vented. For full dress, silk muslin, richly brocaded in columns, is the most prevailing. The short sleeves are worn in divisions, with ribbon bows, or flowers ; sometimes they are divided with points. Silk muslin over white satin, or satin of the same shade, is truly charming. Rose-coloured gauze, with small white satin columns, or the same material in primrose colour, with white satin stripes, is new and greatly admired. In full-dress, sleeves, both long and short, are sub jected to many tasteful variations ; the changes in the former are confined to the lower arm, which is often encircled from the wrist to the elbow with many little bands of satin. The short sleeves are fancifully divided in puff's or bouffant', be tween which are placed bunches of artificial flowers, or knots of ribbon.

The state of the Church of England becomes every day more and more an object of serious attention to the people of this country; and if, as the Collector of Tithes for Mr. SALUSBURY in London stated to Mr. Al derman LUCAS, the claim for tithes cannot be stayed by means which stay every other claim, it will be necessary to look more attentively into that subject, and have it put on a proper footing. We would direct the attention of our readers to a letter in another column, on the subject of Pluralities and the residence of the Clergy in England, as well deserving their perusal. —Morning Chronicle.

The Earl of Radnor, accompanied by his son (Lord Folkestone), paid a visit to the radical reformers of this town to-day, but for what specific purpose, unless its being a friendly call, is not known, although it is notorious that his Lordship is a strenuous supporter of Mr. Cobbett, and is in frequent correspondence with Mr. Cobbetee partisans in the town. About the hour that the Exchange is most frequented by the merchants and manufacturers their Lordships entered this building, accompani, d by Mr. Richard Potter, the late unsuccessful candidate for Wigan, and a number of other influential reformers. The Noble Earl attracted ,muck attention by his perambulations in the Exchange, and it was expected that it was his intern tion of addressing those assembled in support of Mr. Cob.. bett's interest, as a candidate for the representation , of Manchester in a reformed Parliament. Such, however, was not the case; and if it had, his Lordship, it is fancied, would have met with but a cool reception, as Mr. Cobbett's partisans do not eongre.• gate within the precincts of the Exchange, St. George's road, or New-cross, would have been more within the sphere of Mr. Cobbett's greatness, but in the former place his Lordship's eloquence would have availed the cause of the political leviathan little. Lord Radnor has again publicly stated, that it is his decided opinirn that Lord Grey in his speech on the second reading of the Reform Bill, did not eopre%s indifference as to the raising the IN. qualification, but was determined to adhere to it. Upon this subject the following remarks appeared in the Man chester and Salford Advertiser of Saturday last, 10 which reasons appear to be given for the radical Reform ers of Manchester declining at the presenf juncture to call a public meeting of the inhabitants. The Advertiser is the only active print which adheres to the cause of Mr. Cobbett as his supporter in the wished. for character of representative for Manchester : With respect to Manchester, the letter of Lord Radnor, from which we inserted an extract last week ; a second letter has been subsequently received from the same nobleman, ill which he expresses still more decidedly his conviction that Earl Grey did not say that he would abandon the 101. qualification under any circumstances, and adds his eon vicition that Earl Grey is determined, under any circuity stance to adhere to it; these, and a strong conviction en' tertained by many of the moderate Reformers, tbst Earl Grey cannot be false to his pledges, his character, and his country, have divided public opinion on the propriety of calling a public meeting at present; and in order CO preserve that unanimity which has hitherto prevailed, it has been determined to wait for further indications, sad not to call a meeting yet. It must be distinctly understood, at the same time, that the Reformers of Manchester do not remain quiescent from any indifference to the 101. qualification, to which all the honest Reformers of Manchester deem themselves bound, and without which they would repel the Bill with scorn• And this is true, not only of the Radical Reformers, but of the leaders of the party of moderate Reformers, which we have before mentioned; that party which approaches most nearly to popular, and which, though occasionally seeking the alliance of the sham Reformers, contains many individuals of great earnestness and sincerity. We have pleasure in stating that these gentlemen hold them• selves bound to the 101. qualification, and will heartily join the people in expressing it, if they should reason see to think it in danger.
