Vottrp. WIZARD SONG. By the shore of the sea, the wild shore of the sea, 'Tis there, 'tis there, I love to be, When the storm bath past, with a harrowing blast, O'er the billowy wilderness. dark and vast ; When the sea-sepulchres disgorge Their new dead to the foaming surge, That flings its prey unto the land, And smoothes their biers on the trackless sand ; When the dismal wreck floats to the shore Whereon its crew shall tread no more, And the mighty ocean heaves, as though 'Twere tired of the long work of woe ; When the low winds breathe the knell of the drowned With a most bewailing sound, — There let my gloomy pastime be, As one that fears not storm or sea. When new-made widows,—maids bereft Of youth's fond dream, and orphans left Homeless on earth, and childless old, Have, on the dreary beach, beheld The ghastly change that death has wrought On each pale corse they tottering sought, Or searched, through many an hour, in vain, For the vanished, that none shall see again Shuddering at the sun, that seems To mock them, with returning beams, And at the seas, now waveless grown, When all the grievous scathe is done ; Then let me roam beside the deep, With watchful eyes that will not weep ; Then let me human grief behold, But not as one of mortal mould. Liverpool, November, 1839. SHAMROCK MORNING. Ere yet the course of labour has begun, The lark's full swelling note is heard on high, Far o'er the eastern hills the gorgeous sun, In grandeur rises on the calm blue sky, And stillness seems to reign in brightness round, Save where is heard the herald of the morn. Whose high shrill note is blending with the sound Of distant huntsman's mellow sounding horn. The mists have vanished from the lovely scene, And all is bright where darkness late had been. The inmates of the old farm-house are met At breakfast, seated round the kitchen tire, Their merry laugh proclaims a jovial set, Unknown to guile, untramell'd by desire; The ruddy ploughman now puts on his smock, To yoke his horses ready for the land ; The shepherd, whistling, hies unto his flock, With dog attendant, waiting his command. And labours' sons, who till the yielding plain, Are all preparing for their toil again. Now speeds the woodman from his humble cot, From whence is seen the slowly rising smoke, To toil unnoted—still his lowly lot— And wake the echoes with his measured stroke ; He cannot boast of riches, land, or wealth, Of swelling acres, cumbersome with debt, Yet he has still the brightest jewel—health, The richest prize that mortal man can get. To him no sorrow comes to heave his breast, Or feverish dreams to mar his peaceful rest. Full many a year he's toiled, unfriended and alone, Yet never wished to change his lowly life ; Ile has but little, yet it is his own, His humble cottage and his humble wife. He meets each morn the sun's bright cheering beams, With smiling health depicted on his brow, No care awaits him, even in his dreams Its cankering influence he does not know. 'Tis virtue's path alone that he has trod, He trusts to Heaven, and he hopes in God. And now the murmuring sounds begin to rise, Of rustic labours on the gentle breeze, And joyous songs re-echo to the skies, From feathered songsters warbling in the trees. And every living thing seems blythe and gay, And every heart seems pregnant with delight, For all seem welcoming the God of day, Whose rays are sparkling on the dews of night. It is a scene no painter can pourtray, 'Tie only nature can such sights display. Oh ! how I love to a view a scene like this, When nature seems to wake from her repose, It glads the soul, it fills the heart with bliss, And for a time the wounds of sorrow close. 'Tis here the glorious King of Heaven is seen, 'Tis here will flow the sympathetic tear, 'Tis here, that as we view the beauteous scene, That childhood's recollections are most dear. And as we feel the sun's bright genial rays, Oh ! doubly sweet seem childhood's happy days. Liverpool, November 23d, 1839. C. SOME PARTICULARS OF THE FAMILY OF SAXE COBURG AND GOTHA. (From the Morning Herald.) The fqrtunate bridegroom elect of her Majesty the Queen of England, is Albert Francis Augustus Charles Emanuel, second son of Ernest, reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, who succeeded his father Francis, in the small prin cipality of Saxe Saalfeld Coburg, on the 9th of December, 1806 ; and, by the death of Frederic IV., with whom the male line of Saxe Gotha Altenburg became extinct, came into possession, in right of descent from the female branch, of a considerable portion of that inheritance, and took the title of Saxe Coburg and Gotha on the 12th of November, 1826. The duke has been twice married—first, to Dorothy Louisa Pau lina Charlotte Frederica Augusta, daughter of Augustus, the last duke but one of Saxe Gotha Altenburg, from whom he separated on the 31st of March, 1826. On the 23d of De= cember, 1832, the duke married Antoinette Frederica Au gusta Maria Anne, Princess of Wirtemberg. By the first marriage the issue was Ernest Augustus Charles John Leo pold Alexander Edward, Hereditary Prince of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, born on the 21st of June, 1818, and Albert, the young bridegroom elect of Queen Victoria, born the 26th of August, 1819, and therefore not of the legal age of 21 until August, 1840. The Queen was born the 24th of May, 1819, and is, therefore, three months older than her intended hus band. The other members of the family of Coburg are :- 1. Sophia Frederica, &c, sister of the duke, married to Count Emanuel, of Mensdorf. 2. Juliana Hennetta Ulrica, also sister, re-christened, and now Anna Frodorowna, on her marriage with the late Grand Duke Constantine of Russia, from whom she was separated in 1820, through gross cruelty on his part, and other circum stances on her own, not necessary to advert to. The death of that prince in 1831 left her a widow. She resides, and since her separation and widowhood has resided, in Switzer land. She and two of her sisters were sent, previous to the marriage, to St. Petersburg, for choice of that barbarian Constantine. 3. Ferdinand George Augustus, brother of the duke, mar ried in 1816 to Maria Antoinette Gabriella, daughter and sole heiress of Prince Francis Joseph de Koharl, a Hunga rian nobleman of ancient family and immense territorial property in Hungary. As a condition of this marriage Fer dinand was obliged to embrace the Roman Catholic religion, and to agree that all the children born of the marriage should be brought up hi the same faith. The issue of this alliance is three sons and one daughter, of which the eldest son, Fer dinand Augustus Francis Antony, born in 1816, married Donna Maria da Gloria, Queen of Portugal, and, according to the law of Portugul, o f the birth of a son and heir became King Consort. 4. V Maria Louisa Victoria (now her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent), married first to the Prince of Leiningen, on whose death she was afterwards married to the Duke of Kent, who died in 1820. 5. Leopold George Christian Frederick, the youngest brother of the duke and uncle to Albert, married first to the late Princess Charlotte, heiress presumptive to the crown of Great Britain, who died in 1817 ; elected King of Belgium in June, 1831 ; and remarried in Compeigne, in August, 1832, to the Princess Louisa Maria, of (Means, daughtr of Louis Philip, King of the French. The singular fortunes of the family of Saxe Coburg are among the extraordinary and wonderful incidents of this age. The domain of Coburg, the patrimonial estate of the present duke, the eldest of the family, and brother of Leopold, was a very small principality ; the net revenue did not exceed £7OO per annum. Of course, upon such an income, the family pride was difficult to support, and the means of edu cation for the younger branches extremely restricted. On account of the smallness of means, none of the family could venture an appearance at court, at Vienna, save the duke, and he rarely. The portion of the inheritance of Gotha- Altenburg, which came to him, greatly improved his stand ing, and extended his possessions, an inheritance which per haps would not so readily have been erneeded to him but from the powerful alliance and countenah,e of this country through Leopold. The territory of Coburg and Gotha may be estimated to contain together 1G3,000 souls. The revenue is stated at £lOO,OOO per annum, from which has to be de ducted the interest of the debt or mortgage upon the pro perty, amounting to £464,000. which, taking the rate at six per cent., not a high rate for Germany, will be an annual charge of- £27,840. The duchy is rated to furnish a contin gent of 800 men to the Germanic confederation. At the time of his selection by the Princess Charlotte, Leopold was a simple major in the Austrian service, and his whole means and prospective expectations centred in his pro tlssion. His rise led to and was the prelude of that of the whole family. His sister became Duchess of Kent, adopted, like himself, in the Royal Family of England, and in course, if not Queen mother, mother of the Queen. Leopold him self is King of Belgium ; one nephew, Ferdinand, King Consort of Portugal ; and a third about to become Prince Consort of the Sovereign Queen of Great Britain. Never before, perhaps, in so short a space of time, did a family attain fortunes so magnificent, without deeds of arms or special services of any public nature. HER MAJESTY'S MARRIAGE. (From the Standard of Monday Evening.) The formal announcement of her Majesty the Queen's in tended marriage was made to the Privy Council on Saturday. This communication is open to criticism, as the compo sition, not of the Sovereign, but of her ministers ; but we frankly own that we can see nothing in it with which to find fault. Our excellent contemporary the Times pointedly re fers to the omission of a reference to the Protestant character of the . prince selected as the Queen's consort. We regret this omission as much as any one can, but it is only fair to own that the people are as much to blame for it as the mi nisters, that the Queen is wholly without fault in the matter, and that the Protestant character of the house of Saxe- Coburg might have been confidently asserted had circum stances permitted the assertion. It was the practice of the princes of the House of Hanover always to put forward a devotion to the Protestant interest, in the front of their claims to the confidence of the nation in the first address offered to parliament by each upon his ac cession to the Throne. This declaratory pledge has been omitted in our time, and we do not see how in the analogous case before us it could well have been recurred to. Sitting in a Privy Council partially composed of Papists, how could the Queen allude to a preference of the Protestant religion as her paramount title to the throne, and to the confidence of her subjects? Let it never be forgotten that it was the act of the people, as represented by the parliament of 1829, that threw upon the crown the responsibility of refusing the admission of Papists to the Royal council ; and that the act not only permitted, but, by the permission, in some measure compelled the crown to admit Popish councillors. It is true that the men now in power have abused the opportunity, by admitting Papists most hostile to the Protestant religion, and to the integrity of the empire —tithe resisters and repealers. But the law of 1829 destroyed the Protestant character of the constitution through all its branches. Let us not then blame the crown, or the ministers of the crown, for an omission rendered inevitable by our own act. The worst effect of this omission will be the impression created, that nothing is said, because nothing can be fairly said, of the Protestant character of the house of Saxe Co burg. Such an inference would be very unjust. The elder line of the house has continued faithfully attach ed to the Protestant religion from the reformation, when its head, the Elector of Saxony, protected Luther. There have been in the family some apostasies, but they have never tainted the elder line—the line from which Prince Albert is I t . _,....._...„.....,... ... , ...,.(0.........,...,._. ...„ 4/ ~. ," 4 14•.: , , , $: 1 t i 4.i' 2- 41_ 4 1, 4 1 % 1 k • descended.

Edward, Duke of Kent, fourth son of King George 111. of Great Britain, by whom (who died 23d Jan., 1820) she has an only child, Queen Alexandrina Victoria, b. 24th May, 1819. MOTHER OF THE DUKE. Duchess Dowager Augusta Caroline, daughter of Henry XXIV., Prince of Ruess Ebersdorf, b. 19th Jan., 1757, m. 13th June, 1777. It will he seen by this sketch that Ferdinand, the uncle of Prince Albert, and, let us add, alsn, the uncle of Queen Victoria, was the first apostate of the family. His children were all educated Papists ; the eldest of them is the husband of the Queen of Portugal. The motives of this unfortunate man's lapse may be collected from the fact that he was a second brother of no very affluent house, and so slenderly provided with an income, that he was glad to accept of service in the Austrian army, in which he now holds the rank of field marshal, after long service ; in 1816 he married the heiress of the Polish Prince, Francis Joseph Kohary, and upon his marriage was compelled to become a Papist, by the terms of, his marriage contract. It is right that the British public should be informed upon this matter, because an opinion is gone abroad, that Prince Albert is the brother of the Queen of Portugal's husband, and therefore likely to be a Papist, or indifferent to religion ; whereas he stands in exactly the same degree of relationship to that Popish Prince as with our own Queen, and is no more to be suspected of Popery in consequence of the apostacy of his cousin, or rather uncle (for the younger Ferdinand was always a Papist), than is her Majesty. It is right also to remark, that the apostacy of the Field Marshal is not of very recent date ; so that it cannot be justly referred to modern liberalism. Reviewing as carefully as we can, all the circumstances of the case, we adhere to our opinion, often before expressed, that the Queen's choice is a good one, and auspicious of happiness to herself and to her people. Virtues are sociable, and we are persuaded that a good wife will be good in whatever condition of life she may be placed—good in the relations of queen, mistress, or friend ; and nothing is more likely to make a good wife than an amia ble and well-disposed husband of her own choice. A report prevails in the circles generally best informed, that the mar riage is not to be delayed until April, as the ministerial jour nals have been instructed to say, but that pailiament will be called together immediately after the holidays, to make the proper provisions ; and that the nu pti a l s w ill b e solemnised at the end of January or beginning of February. This we think highly probable, if ministers are to have any influence in the arrangement. They cannot expect to hold office until April, and they will not willingly forego whatever advantages may result to a ministry from the royal marriage, or lose the opportunity, if they can help it, of giving to the Queen's con sort the first bias. This last advantage will be doubtless of short profit to them. They cannot hope to immure the Prince as they have immured the Queen, by a corps of bedchamber women. The conservative aristocracy and gentry will feel it to be a duty no less of loyalty than of hospitality to welcome the stranger, by all kind and respectful attentions. He will soon have an opportunity of knowing them, and of judging between conservatives and whig-radicals, and we are perfectly at ease as to the result. Meantime, even a month's possession of the ear of the Prince will be a great matter to the Melbourne cabinet ; it probably cannot retard their fall, but it may soften that fall by interposing the royal influence with a goodnatured people to arrest the punishment by which it ought to be attended. THE QUEEN'S ADDRESS TO THE PRIVY COUNCIL, (From the Morning Herald of Tuesday) - - That the Protestant religion should be treated with slight and contempt, and great discouragement, by a set of minis ters, whose chief reliance for support in office, next to the ladies of the bedchamber, is the popish agitator of Ireland, cannot surprise anybody. It was, therefore, no matter of public astonishment whatever, that in the speech delivered by the Queen to her Privy Council, announcing her intended marriage with Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg Gotha, no allu sion was made to that religion which is the best and holiest bond of union between the crown and the people, and on the maintenance of which depends the civil and religious liberties - , -the moral greatness, and, we may add, the high civilization of England. That omission in the Queen's address, we say, excited no public astonishment. The British public have for a consi derable time been accustomed to the " heavy blows" which the Romanised whigs inflict upon the principles which placed the House of Hanover on the throne of these realms. Why, then, should that act of omission excite any surprise, although, as a morning contemporary has truly remarked, ministers adopted substantially the precedent of George 111. upon a similar occasion, omitting only the royal assurance in regard to the Protestant religion ? Indeed ministers copied the very words of the last sentence of the address of that monarch to his council, although they shut their eyes, and also closed the Queen's laps as to the pledge of fervent and unalterable attachment to the Protestant religion, contained in the sen tence that preceded it. We say " the ministers," because it would neither be true in fact, nor constitutional in principle, to treat the address of her Majesty as other than the compo sition of her responsible advisers. But it does, we confess, excite our surprise that any organ of conservative and Protestant opinions —and that, too, an intelligent and able one—should volunteer a defence for those delinquent ministers, by endeavcuring to justify that omission. Of course, as long as the Queen is in the hands of such ad visers she must speak what is set down for her, and when one expresses dissatisfaction with the Royal Speech it can have no personal allusion to her Majesty, who only recites what her cabinet composed. In alluding to the Queen's address, and the omission in question, the Standard says, " we frankly confess we see nothing in it with which we can find fault." But is there nothing not in it which ought to have been found there ? In reference to that point it says, " We regret this as much as any one can, but it is only fair to own that the people are as much to blame for it as ministers ; that the Queen is wholly without fault in the matter, and that the Protestant charac ter of the house of Saxe Coburg might have been confidently asserted had circumstances permitted the assertion.' Now we ask what are the circumstances that did not per mit the assertion of the Protestant character of the house of Saxe Coburg ? We are told that " the law of 1829 destroyed the Protestant character of the constitution through all its branches." We are also told that we should not blame the Crown, or the ministers of the Crown, for an omission ren dered inevitable by our own act ; that is, by the act of the people, as represented in the parliament that passed the ill advised and most mischievous " emancipation act" of the Wellington and Peel administration. We have stated wh3;;;;;; - this question without any reference to the Queen herself. Let us confine ourselves to the parties really responsible, who are her Majesty's minis ters. If circumstances, as our evening contemporary asserts, made the omission of any allusion to the Protestant religion inevitable, most assuredly even the ministers are free from blame. Nobody in that case would be in fault except the authors of the bill of 1829, and the parliament that made the bill the law of the land. If, indeed, the law has destroyed the Protestant character of the constitution through all its branches, then is the Pro testant character of the CROWN destroyed. if so, the title to the throne in the house of Hanover is shaken. That title is built upon the EXCLUSIVE PROTESTANTISM of at least ONE branch of the constitution—THE CROWN. The mo ment that character of exclusive Protestantism is removed from the Crown, certain alleged claims to the inheritance of the British throne, which were put aside or suspended by the ACT OF SETTLEMENT vesting the title in the heirs of the body of the Electress Sophia, of Hanover, BEING PROTESTANTS, may be revived. But as the act of settlement has not yet been repealed, one branch of the constitution still remains, in theory at least, exclusively Protestant, and must so con tinue unless Englishmen are prepared to surrender to Popish ambition all the glorious rights and liberties for which their patriotic ancestors successfully struggled at the revolution of 1688. If the bill of 1829 has rendered all allusion to the Pro testant religion, in reference to the proposed marriage of a British Sovereign, improper or nugatory, the same reason would bold good for omitting all allusion to the Protestant religion, as the religion of the state, at the solemn ceremony of the coronation. On that occasion the Queen was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury, in administering the oath to the Sovereign,—" Will you, to the utmost of your power, maintain the laws of God, the true profession of the Gospel, and the Protestant reformed religion established by law ? And will you preserve to the bishops andclergy of this realm, and to the churches committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges as by law do or shall appertain unto them or any of them ?" The Queen answered " All this I promise to do," and confirmed this promise by laying her hands on the holy Gospels, and by kissing the same. But if the bill of 1829 had indeed destroyed the Protestant character of all ' the branches of the constitution, this part of the coronation oath was unmeaning, absurd, and nugatory. If, on the other hand, that solemn promise of the Queen " to maintain the Protestant reformed religion established by law," at the co ronation, had not a vain and ridiculous allusion to a state of things which had ceased to exist, why should any pledge re specting the Protestant religion in the Queen's speech to the Privy Council be a thing which the state of circumstances at the present day does not permit ? Nothing has occurred since the Queen's accession to destroy in point of law the ex ' elusive Protestant character of the crown, though in point of fact the Ministers have done a great deal to endanger the Protestant reformed religion. That is a circumstance, how ever, which made it the more necessary that the Queen should have made such a declaration, or that the people should have required it. The instances of apostacy or submission to the See of Rome which have taken place in the Cbourg family of late years, and to which we adverted yesterday, made it the more de sirable that all reference to the Protestant religion should not have been omitted. Do Ministers wish the Sovereign to ap pear ashamed or afraid to express any particular attachment to that pure and holy religion to which she is indebted for the sceptre of the British empire ? As to the fact of Prince Albert being a Protestant, that, of course, could not be doubted, inasmuch as the law has not yet been erased from the statute-book which makes the marriage of the Sovereign with a Papist a forfeiture of the crown. But the country would have been glad to have heard from the Queen's own lips that her intended husband was as devotedly attached to the Protestant religion as we must take it her Majesty herself is, although supposed to be personally attached to a Ministry labouring—not in exact accordance with the coronation oath —to "inflict heavy blows and great discouragement on Pro testantism." 'We trust the leaders of the conservatives in Parliament do not mean to act for the future as if the Protestant constitution had already been destroyed in all its branches, and, therefore, their political efforts should have no reference to religious considerations. If so, it is time for the Protestant people of England to look about them, and let their constitutional re monstrances reach the throne and the parliament also. QUEEN ADELAIDE. (From a Correspondent of the Morning Herald.) GOPSAL HALL, MONDAY MORNING.—The Earl Howe returned to Gopsal Hall, yesterday, from attending the Privy Council. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, as was expected, left this morning shortly after ten o'clock, attended by the Earl Howe, Earl and Countess of Denbigh, Lady Clinton, Hon. Miss Mitchell and Miss Hudson, and accompanied by Sir Horace Seymour, the Ladies. Mary Fielding and Georgiana Curzon, and the Rev. J. R. Wood and suite, in five carriages, for Belvoir Castle, the seat of the Duke of Rutland. The royal suite, on leaving GQpsal Hall, went by the cross roads to Desford, where a relay of horses was in readiness. The Queen Dowager and suite then proceeded to Leicester by the Hinkley road. On the arrival of the royal cortege at the Red Cow Inn, a detachment of the Leicestershire yeo manry cavalry, under the command of Captain Packe, M.P., received her Majesty and suite, and formed an escort to the royal carriage. A numerous assemblage of persons had con gregated at the above inn from Earl Shilton, Hinckley, Peckleton, Thurlston, and other neighbouring villages, and on the Queen and suite passing loudly cheered. But the passage of the royal visiter through Leicester was, without any exception, the most 'enthusiastic display yet witnessed throughout " the royal progress." In speaking of the ancient and honourable borough of Leicester, it would be as well to offer a few remarks on the conduct of the mayor and town council, at the latter of which, two idiotic donkeys, en joying the euphonical names of Biggs and Winks, proposed and seconded the resolve " that the corporation of Leicester do not notice the Queen Dowager on her visit to Leicester." The resolution was carried, and, consequently, there were not, any apoplectic-looking gentlemen in long robes to re- . . . ceive the exemplary and pious widow of our late esteemed King. But what have the body corporate and the Govern ment hacks done by opening their sluices of malignant bile against the person of Queen Adelaide ? They turned the stream into a course the very opposite to their desires. By their " agitation"—by their endeavours to make that illustrious lady's visits to a few of the leading nobility political, and by their at least contemptible insinuations, they have disgusted their hitherto friends. There needs no further confirmation of what I have stated than the reception of her Majesty in Leicester. It was just ten minutes past twelve when the royal cortege arrived at Dane Hill-gate, attended by a troop of the Leicestershire yeomanry cavalry, and followed by a long cavalcade of the leading gentry and inhabitants of Lei cester and its vicinity. St. Nicholas and the other streets through which the royal route lay were densely crowded by decently-attired persons. It is well known to those who have passed through the High -street of Leicester that it is one of the narrowest of the many High-streets in this country ; in consequence, the royal suite was some time in passing through it. The arrival of the royal visitors was an nounced by the firing of cannon, and the church bells of St. Margaret's rang a merry peal. High-street never presented such a gay appearance. In addition to three arches formed of evergreens and decorated in a tasteful manner with flowers and various coloured flags, each bearing an inscription, nearly every house dis played some tribute of respect to the amiable Queen Dowager. At Dr. Harris's was a magnificent mantle or canopy of light blue satin, lined with white satin, and tastef u lly l oo p e d w ith silk cord, having in the centre a regal crown of gold, puffed with crimson velvet. This neat and costly decoration was placed in front of the doctor's residence, and was the happiest and most chaste of the decorations I witnessed. During the passage of the royal cortege along the High-street, the cheer ing and applause of the multitude was deafening, and thou sands of handkerchiefs were waved from the windows. The whole of the shops were closed, the assemblage was so great. After having arrived at the top of High -street the royal car riages entered the Market-place, from Cheapside, and then went through Market-street to the Three Crowns Inn, where fresh horses were supplied to the carriages. The Rev. Mr. Irvine, and the neighbouring clergy and gentry, and a guard of honour of the Leicestershire yeomanry cavalry, received her Majesty on her arrival amidst the enthusiastic acclama tions of the most numerous concourse of persons ever remem bered by the inhabitants of the town. It would occupy me some hours to do justice to each of the laudable manifesta tions so profusely displayed by the inhabitants on this occa sion, so I will merely give the most prominent of the inscrip tions from the triumphal arches, &c. I give these inscriptions merely for your readers to judge for themselves, for from them may be gathered the feelings of the inhabitants. The first was very appropriate, namely, " Honour to whom ho nour is due ;" " Adelaide, may thy life be long and thy days happy ;" " Adelaide, England's glory ;" " Welcome Ade laide ;" " Adelaide, we bid you God speed ;" " Queen Ade laide, a splendid example of the British fair ;" &c. At about twenty minutes to one the Queen Dowager and suite took their departure by th e B e l grave-gate, for Melton Mowbray en route to Belvoir Castle, followed by a long train of car riages and horsemen. The quiet villages of Thomaston and Syfton had their arches, and the Queen Dowager and suite were heartily cheered in passing through by the unsophisti cated inhabitants. At Rearsby, the next village, the escort of the Leicestershire yeomanry cavalry were relieved by ano ther troop of that fine corps, under the command of Captain Clarke. Brooksby, Frisby, and the other intermediate vil lages, had their roadside inns and arches decorated with flags, and ornamented with flowers, evergreens, &c.. . The royal cortege arrived at Melton Mowbray shortly after half-past two. The bridge opposite to the Earl of Wilton's hunting box, Egerton lodge, was covered with various ever greens, and immediately before the George Inn was erected a substantial triple arch of evergreens, liberally ornamented with flowers and flag. The children of the Blue Coat or Na tional Schools, for the education of the children of the poor of all denominations, were stationed just beyond with their master and ushers. They were remarkably neat and clean in their appearance, and their orderly and unassuming behaviour seemed greatly to please the royal visiter. Fresh horses were in readiness, and after a short delay the royal suite proceeded on its route, the same marks of pleasure and esteem welcom ing her Majesty as at Leicester. • At Croxton Park upwards of 250 o f th e principal tenantry of the Duke of Rutland, on horseback, with a troop of the Leicestershire yeomanry cavalry, under the command of Sir George Palmer and Captain Hartopp, and the park keepers and huntsmen of the noble duke, assembled to receive the Queen Dowager and suite. After an hour had elapsed the royal carriages came in sight, and the arrival of her Majesty was loudly welcomed by the hearty greetings of the farmers, who rode such " bits of blood" that would not disgrace " Rotton-row" in the month of May. The detachment of yeomanry cavalry which escorted her Majesty from Melton were relieved by the troop under Sir George Palmer and Mr. Hartopp, which formed on each side of her Majesty's carriage, the tenantry, and the duke's re tainers falling in the rear of the royal suite. The cavalcade proceeded through Croxton-park, and across the Grantham road, and by the private road to the castle. Her Majesty and suite arrived at the castle at 10 minutes past four. On the arrival of her Majesty a salute of 21 guns was fired from the castle heights, and the British colours proudly floatel from the flag tower Qf the castle. The Duke of Rutland, with Lord Charles Manners and Lady Adeliza Manners, received the Queen Dowager on her Majesty alighting from her carriage at the grand entrance, and conducted his royal guest, followed by the noblemen and ladies in her Majesty's suite, to the grand saloon. The fine band of the Leicestershire militia, maintained at the sole ex pense of his grace, was stationed in the guard-room, and played, on the arrival of the illustrious visiter, the national anthem. The Marquis of Exeter arrived this evening, on a visit to the noble duke, from Burleigh-house, Stamford. • Viscount Burghersh, who has been staying at Gospal-hall a few days, has arrived. Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, accompanied by the Hon. Chas. Stuart Wortley, arrived shortly after six. Dinner is laid for upwards of 30 this evening, and will con sist of the Queen Dowager, Marquis of Exeter, Earl Howe, Earl and CounteSs of Denbigh, Sir Horace Seymour and. Lady Clinton, Sir George Palmer, Lord Adolphus Fitz clarence, the Hon. Charles and Lady Emmeline Wortley, Lord Burghersh, Mr. Staunton, Mr. and Lady Elizabeth Norman, Lady Mary Fielding, Lady Georgiana Curzon, the Rev. J. R. Wood, Mr. Hortopp, Miss Mitchell, Miss Hud son, &c. Her Majesty has repeatedly expressed her deep sense of :he kindness and regard evinced by the population of Leices ter, Melton Mowbray, and the villages the royal suite has Nissed. Indeed her Majesty was several times much affected, ry the emulous exertions exhibited by persons of all classes. DUBLIN. POLICE, COLLEGE-STREET. ATTRACTION, ELECTRICITY, AND GRAVITATION !—THE ADVENTURES OF A HOP MERCHANT, alias A DANCING MASTER.—A smart, dapper, well-dressed little fellow, about thirty years of age, whose air bespoke an acquaintance with aristocracy, charged a very respectable-looking young man, about twenty years of age, with an assault. Magistrate (to complainant.)—What's your name ? Complainant.—Jonathan Skipper. Magistrate.—What's your complaint against Mr. Henry Smyth ? Mr. Skipper.—My complaint is manifold—first of all, battery of the personal pronoun—that's I myself. Magistrate.—You appear to be very precise; go on, sir and state your complaint. Mr. Skipper.—Well, sir, I was yesterday evening pursuing the " noiseless tenor of my way" down a street called after ,one of the fair daughters of Eve—vulgo, Dame-street, ad miring the beauties of nature, when by some chance or other —I can't say bad, but certainly, as the finale proved, not very propitious—my winkers, alias my eyes, rested on the most beautiful natural curiosity that ever graced this sublunary planet, in the shape of a ruby-lipped, rosy-checked, diamond eyed girl—(tremendous laughter)—and as the loadstone draws metal to its embrace, so was I lured by the eyes of this syren ; that's attraction ! I was not suffered long to remain in this trance of blessed oblivion, when I experienced a strange sort of shock, in consequence of a concussion between the organ of veneration on my forehead and a hard substance called an oaken towel—that's electricity ! Shortly after, when I became conscious of the still existing unity of the spirit with the more mortal part of this machine—(laying his hand on his breast)—l found myself a prostrate inhabitant of " the vile earth, from whence I sprung ;" in other and plainer terms, I found myself rolling in the gutter, and that's what I call gravitation ! (Renewed roars of laughter.) Magistrate.—What are you, sir? Mr. Skipper.—l'm a hop merchant. Magistrate.—Oh, you deal in hops—do you ? Mr. Skipper.—No, sir, I deal out hops to others ; I'm a dancing master. (Roars of, laughter, which lasted several minutes.) _ Magistrate.—Then, I suppose your hopping advances to the lady in company with Mr. Smyth became offensive, and he thought proper to exercise the musles of his right arm by knocking you down ; is that the fact ? Mr. Skipper . — Thou hast most unkindly hit it, sage sir. Magistrate.—And Mr. Smyth has most unkindly hit you ? Mr. Skipper.—By gingo he did, and no mistake ! Mr. Smyth.—The fact is, that myself and my sister were proceeding to a friend's house in the neighbourhood of Mer rion-square, where we were to dine, when this person came up, and poked his face under my sister's bonnet, making use of some insulting expressions. Mr. Skipper.—No, I only said— From the rose in the garden, my Kathleen dear, Thou hast stolen that blush of thine ; From the light of the sunbeams, my Kathleen dear, Have thine eyes, thy bright eyes, learned to shine ! Magistrate.—By your own account, you acted very impro perly, and provoked Mr. Smyth by insulting his sister. We dismiss the charge. Mr. Skipper, the hop-merchant, then hopped out of the board room. SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—The works of the remain ing portion of this line, eighteen miles and a half between Basingstoke and Winchester, are in such a state as to leave no doubt in the minds of the directors of its being open to the public by the Ist of May next. —Railway Times. STRANGE IF TRUE.—Yates cannot have the American giant at the Adelphi, as he declines to come over to this country, because " the twenty-first of June is not long enough for him to stand upright i n ." The said giant has a rival dwarf in Philadelphia, who is so short that he hasn't paid his debts these five years. " ENORMOUS LYING" OF A JESUIT. (From the Times.) What ! is Romanism so rampant that it throwi off the mask in theology, as it has long done in politics ! They of this following are charged by their opponents with disregard to truth, where it stands in the way of their end, (in the way of honest ends it never really does,) and they seem eager to give proof of the justice of the imputation. That Mr. O'Connell unblushingly disdains the trammels: of veracity is an old story. But we own we still expected something more of maiden modesty in the mendaciousness of the theological school of this world-wise church. Dr. Wiseman is the apostle, in these parts, of the Papistical heresy. He is the doctrinal champion, as O'Connell is the political, and verily they are a worthy pair : Arcades ambo ! But this is a grave charge against the Rev. Doctor. We may not, in common fairnes, put him in such company without justifying the insult. To the proof, then. Dr. Wiseman is the selected missionary of the Ro mish creed in this country. He has been sent forth for some years to labour in disseminating here the poi son of its doctrines, first from his pulpit, then through the press. Our divines have been awake. Soon as he ventured forth in the latter tangible shape a host of ad versaries buckled on their armour. He was assailed by learning and argument on every side. Of all the impugners of his tricky positions, the most trouble some, the most difficult to grapple with, and yet the most dangerous to leave unnoticed, the most.hazard ous and yet the most necessary to answer, was Dr. Turton, Regius Professor of Divinity in the University of Cambridge. For two long years did Dr. Wiseman hesitate about a reply. The contest would be full of risk ; the Doctor was prudent. At length, perhaps, his friends here gave him a hint that something must be done. The Doctor then did something. We shall see what. Professor Turton was not to be confuted; he was therefore to he abused, and he was abused accordingly. Truth would not serve; we shall see what was substi tuted. Dr. Wiseman, in an evil hour, did write, and Professcr Turton has again replied. We cannot go through the whole subject matter. We must content ourselves with respect to the greater portion of Professor 'furton's book to say, that such an exhibition as he makes of gross and palpable dis honesty in his adversary—dishonesty in argument, in accusation, in references—it never fell to our lot to meet with in the very worst school of controversy. And the exposure is made by the Professor in a spirit and language worthy of a man of learning and a di vine. We would recommend our educated readers to 7 - peruse the volume, for it is not o f an alarming size. But we must not rest on generalities ; we must give a particular or two in our justification. We select those most intelligible to the general reader. They are both selected from the sixth section of Dr. Tdrton's reply. There is a work of a learned German divine, named "Tittman," of which the title is " Meletrmata Sacra, sive Commentarius, 4-c., in Evangelicum Joaitnis." Such is the reading of the title-page. Every page of this book is headed by the number of - the chapter and verse, or verses of St. John, of which the text below treats. Thus it is absolutely impossible for any one who ever opened the book (even without reading it) not to see at once that the work is a " Commentary on St. John, and nothing else." Now in the book of Dr. Wiseman, to which Profes sor Turton in his former work replied, the Doctor re fers to this work of Tittman in support of his views, by the title of Meletamata Sacra. But, as is usual with him, he quotes dishonestly, thrusting into his re ference without notice, qualifying words of his own. The Professor, of course, exposes this fraud. But, with a scholar-like taste, " having an unconquerable dislike" (as lie expresses himself) "to hard words," he refers to the work by its simple -and well-known atias, " the Commentary on St. John." Now, will it he believed, the learned Roman takes hence occasion to insult over the Professor, as ignorant of the work which he (Dr. Wiseman) had quoted, the "Meletemata Sa cra ?" He holds him up to scorn on this ground as a poor unlettered sciolist. " I quoted (says he) the Me letemata Sacra. I suppose the learned Professor was unacquainted with the work. So, like a good contro versialist—certainly not like a good scholar—he goes to another work of Tittman, and from that attempts to confute me. This is, the Commentary on St. John ! ! &c. Now, either way, here is shameless fraud. Either the learned Roman never opened Tittman's book in his life, in which case he itnpudently professes a familiarity with a work he never saw; or he knew that the book referred to by the Professor against him was the very book which he himself had falsified ; and he pretended that the works were different, in order to deceive his unlearned readers into the belief that the proof against him rested on no sufficient ground. The Professor somewhere censures the Doctor's har dihood of assertion, by the gentle name of " intrepi dity." We should use a shorter term. But this, after all, is not the worst case. See again— The Professor, in confuting the false assumptions of his adversary, very properly has recourse to the greater. luminaries of the Roman chiirch itself. For this Dr. Wiseman is in some sense a "neologist" in his way : he would improve upon the systems of his more ho nest or more wary predecessors. The Professor, we say, then, instead of objecting to him mere Protestant authorities, shows that many esteemed Roman Catholic writers, and among them Estius, the "Annotator of the Rernish Testament," are opposed to the ground assumed by him, Dr. Wiseman. This was a hard blow, and to parry it difficult. The Remish Testament is the text-hook of the English Catholics, and to speak disparagingly of it were impolitic. So the Doctor is obliged to let it pass. Even Estius was difficult to get over; but by one gifted with "intrepidity" as the Doctor, something was to be made of him. See only .how. Estius is the author of sundry learned theological works of great repute and weight in the Romish church. He alSo wrote one work, not published till after his death, with somewhat less care. Dupin, in his Eccle siastical Htstory, bears the highest testimony to the accuracy and merit of his other works, especially of that "on the Sentences ;" and speaks with less appro bation of this posthumous work. Both theSe testimo nials‘ithin a few which . lines of a ereateonther. in one Now, short the eticwk on N le, or and . Pro fessor Turton relies in the question in dispute with Dr. Wiseman is the lauded work "on the Sentences." What does Dr. Wiseman ? To discredit Estius he quotes the words of Dupin in allusion to the inferior work, which Dr. Turton does not here refer to, and suppresses the complimentary testimony to the work which Dr. `Futon does quote against him. He could not here be ignorant of what he was doing. What, then, was he ? • They who are not by this time satisfied with respect to the honesty of this learned Theban had better read the whole of Professor 'l'urton's book. It is not long ; and if they are curious in these matters, we promise them there is wherewithal to pay them for their trouble. For our part, we agree with the Professor in the con clusion he has come to touching his adversary. We have done with him. We know a little of Professor Turton and of his many valuable works. He is eminently acute, learned, accurate, honest, and above all mild; if ever moved to indignation, it is by some want of integrity in his oppo nent; his upright nature is shocked by the baseness of a lie. The feeling with which he seems to have come out of this controversy may, by a little wresting of the fense, be expressed in the words of the Satirist, " Quid Roma. faciunz, mentiri nescio." H ow s h a ll I cope with men of this school ? I deal with truth. If these-be the arts on the success of which depends the existence of the Romish . Church, it needs not a spirit of prophecy to foretell that its days are numbered. We recommend the candid disciples of this creed to read Dr. Turton's work. We believe this recommen dation has been in som e measure anticipated. We have heard that there are among the honourable and educa ted of the laity of this communion not a few who have examined into the matter, and are not well pleased with the champion of their faith. As a matter of matrimonial statistics, it may be mentioned that 25,000 gold wedding-rings were assayed at.,Birminghaln last year. LAND SLIP IN THE ISLE OF WIGHT.—In consequence of he late incessant rains, the lovers of geology will have a rich reat by the occurrence of a land slip of above eight acres, at ,he base of Headon Hill, parallel with Alum Bay, and in the rnmediate vicinity of the Needles rocks. THE KEIGHLEY MURDER.—III our last week's paper we gave such particulars as had transpired relative to this horrid occurrence. At the inquest, a verdict of Wilful Murder was given, and the unhappy man i ac , f or suc h h e must b e consi dered, is now waiting the resul, of a solemn trial at the next assizes. Confession :---He said it first came into his mind on Sunday morning to kill his sister, and he then determined to do it on the Saturday night following, when he would have his razors out to shave with. His father was going out on Wednesday evening, he thought he would never have a better opportunity : he therefore called her up stairs, crying out, " Betty, there are some bugs above't bed." Betty ran up with a light, and pulling off her shoes, got on the bed and be gan to search. He then leaped on her with a knife, and knocked the candlestick out of her hand, threw her on the bed, and then tried to cut her throat. She struggled dread fully, and screamed, which frightened him so much that she escaped from his grasp to the floor. In this struggle he had lost his knife, but snatching another from his father's seat, he, after a desperate resistance, accomplished his purpose. He did not know what to do, but resolving to go out and hang a himself, he went do wn s t a i rs an d opened the door ; there w opposite, so he s h u t it again, but knowing that it would om not do to stop th ere , h e rus h ed out of the house and sawoman leaped over the wall into a field. He went up the field to a gate in the middle of the same side, and there attempted to hang himself by the top rail with his handkerchief, but the rail was too low. He then proceeded to a lonely ash tree, at the top of the next field, and there tried again, when his handkerchief broke, and he came t o th e ground.' He now piled up some stones, knotted his handkerchief, and made another attempt. The knot slipped and he fell into the next field. He was stunned at first, but recollecting that he had a penknife in his pocket, he opened it while on the ground. He felt the edge and found that it was too blunt. He then got up and returned to the middle of the Knowe (the name of the field he had crossed in going to the ash tree) ; here he lay down on his belly, but after laying some time, he thought he would go back, and either cut his throat with the knife he had killed his sister with, or give himself up. When he got near the wall he was seized by Joseph Hird and Thomas Greenwood. Being asked what could induce to murder a sister who loved him so much, he said, " He did not know, but she was ready for heaven, and he was fit for t'other place." He said her last words were, " Lord, help me," and " Oh, Charles, spare my life." After this he would answer no more questions.—Preston Chronicle. Einporto. EAST INDIES, CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, 4-c.

The market throughout the week has been quiet, and only a moderate business done by the Trade, without alteration in prices worth notice. The sales yesterday were 3,000 bales of all kinds, and to-day about the same quantity. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, Nov. 26. The arrivals of English, Irish, and Foreign Wheat and Barley into this port since Tuesday last, form a moderate supply of each ; with a repeated large influx of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland, and of Flour from Philadelphia and New Vork. Under the impression of further large supplies of the latter article from the American States, 15,722 barrels have been entered for consumption within the past week at lis 2 d ; the importers of Wheat, on the contrary, waiting for receding duties have released 71 qrs. only since the 14th inst. any early arrivals of this Grain therefore will probably not have to compete, for the present, with those previously liberated. In consequence of the dull sale of the surrounding markets at the close of last week, and the decline in London yesterday, the Wheat trade here this morning exhibited very little animation ; and although the holders of Foreign Wheat did not seem disposed to accept lower prices, yet an abatement of Id to 2d per 701 b was partially conceded, and all descriptions of English and Irish were 2d to 3d per bushel lower than on this day se'nnight, with scarcely the semblance of demand for inferior kinds of new.—Home-made Flour was in slow request, and Irish very unsaleable at the nominal rates of last week. American likewise was taken off sparingly to-day at a reduction of Is per barrel. Malting Barley was offered at a decline of 2s per qr. with little effect; and Foreign grinding samples, upon a limited scale, barely supported late prices.—Malt, Beans and Pease, continuing to meet a moderate demand, fully maintained their previous value. The increasing supply of Oats and very few buyers inclined to purchase, caused an exceedingly dull trade on the reduced terms of Friday; and Oatmeal being still difficult of sale was offered at a further abatement, thereby rendering our quotations Is per sack under those of Tuesday last.

Belfast, crane in spection, we quote g2s to gas. Fine Ballymony, Kilkenny, and Car low are worth as much money. Private inspections run from 76s to 84s, as they turn out upon examination. Exporters do not touch Pickled Butter freely, and the price of Cork seconds may still be called 845.—1 n Beef and Pork no extraordinary transactions occur, the demand being entirely confined to ship stores, the former is worth 195 s to Ills per tierce, and the latter 75s to 84s per barrel, as in quality.—Bacon continues in fair request at 50s to 53s for a prime article. The weather to-day assumes a frosty appearance, holders of Bu ter are consequently harder to deal with. LIVERPOOL AGRICULTURAL MARKET, Nov. 27. s. d. s. d. s. d. s. d. Old Hay .... 0 9C.1 2 201 b.
