The demand fir the ROY AL WEDDING SUN yesterday was beyond all precedent. The Printing Machine, which is one of the best in London, was at work from the hour of publica tion till the departure of the Mail, throwing (.7/1'7,000 per hour ; and even this vast number was not equal to the demand. We may say it without vanity, because it is truth, that in all the history of the Newspaper Press there never was such a quantity of Newspapers published within the same time. The arrangements we had to nzake were of the most complicated description, yet, with one ex ception, all have succeeded. Our readers will perceive that the Paper is ?I' a smaller size than usual. We had enZered weeks ago a large supply of the fall sized paper. It was sent of by the manufachtrer, but owing to the breaking up of the roads in consequence of the floods, it has not y2t arrived. Luckily toe had made preparation . for such a contingency, and had reserved a sufficient quantity to answer the tem porary demand. Our readers in a few days will see what an elegant Marriage Present we would have presented to them but for the envi- ous floods. Those of our Country Readers who may not have received THE SUN according to order, will bear the dis- appointment patiently. The demand fir the Paper was such, that though there were ten persons em ployed in opening letters and writing covers, and twice as many in racking up the papeis, we have not been able to get through all our Country Correspon dence yet. ----- HIGH WATLI.

To whick will be added, the Performances of Michael Boai, the Chin Melodist, and his Wife, the Swiss Vocalist. To conclude with the grand Pantomime, called THE QUEEN BEE: or, HARLEQUIN AND GOODY TWO SHOES. was recommended to the prayers of the poor by some substantial enjoyments, must be blessed by Heaven, and be oee of the most felicitous unions ever contracted. We see nothing to detract from its felicity ; but, like everything human, it will de pend on the conduct of the parties themselves ; and, should it turn out less felicitous than we wish, the people who have prayed for the happiness of the Royal Pair will be guiltless o f t h e failure. • Having said so much of the ceremony itself, a full description of which will be found in another part of The Sun, we must now turn to the less t , pleasing task of noti c i ng the cond uc t o f t h e T or i es and the lucubrations of some of our Contemporaries. The Tories are galled beyond measure that her MAJESTY'S marriage is not contracted under their auspices. Their great No-Confidence motion - was intended to place them in cffice, if possible, before that event. Their factious vote on the sum to be given to Prince ALBERT—for in them a pretence of loving economy is a mere cloak for faction—was intended to stop the e•arriaoe, if possible, or ruin the Whigs in her MA les V's good opinion. Their ill-judged insertion of th word " Protestant" before the name of Prince ALBERT had a similar object, and was intended, by throwing a doubt on his faith, and a doubt, therefore, on the secure enjoyment of the Crown, to make her ;MAJESTY pause, hesitate, and contract a union more aorceable to the ultra- Protestant bigots. All these schemes have failed, and have only served to make the Tories, who, as politicians, are thoroughly alienated from the peo ple, and have no party in the country except those they can buy or command, who are distin guished for having deeply injured and grossly in sulted the masses—hateful and hated at Count. Such is the necessary result of their own conduct, and like silly children they now begin to cry and whine at the chastisement which has followed it. The . Post of yesterday, speaking the senti ments of its friends, c om pl a i ns o f t h e i r being excluded from the marriage festivities, which they have done all in their power - to mar. Why, their presence would turn the wine sour, and, like the breath of serpents, render the viands unpalatable. They ought not to complain of being -- . . 1. - eticluded from Court, but of themselv es , f or havinr-withdraw n from it. For a base purpose they calumniated those who were about her MAJEY,:OI* stimulated their Journals to do so, and could not-afterwards, without self-degradation, appear to court the com pany of those whom they had pronounced de graded. Their exclusion is their own act, or the necessary consequence of their own act, and they have to thank themselves for being exiled from the Court, on whose smiles alone they can live. The Post says, that by their exclusion an in justice will be done to Prince ALBERT, who will not be able to form a proper opinion of the nobi lity of England. Are, then, the R UTLANDS and the NEWCASTLES, the ELLENBOROUGHS and the LYNDCIURSTS, the BEAUFORTS and the BUCKINGIIAMS, the ABER . DEEMS and the LON DONDERRYS, the great nobility of England, the pride of her chivalry ? And are the DEVONSHI RES, the SOMERS ETS, the WESTMINSTERS, the NOR FOLKS, the GOWERS, the CARLISLES, the Cai- TIN GHA MS, mere nonentities, mushrooms of a day, or destitute of talents to give dignity to well-earned honours ? It would be both invidious and difficult to make an exact comparison; but. we apprehend, if the Whig nobility are not so numerous as the Tory no bility, they much surpass them, man for man, in honourable character and worldly goods. What a proud Noble must that Guardian of a Poor Law Union be who moved the celebrated resolution to decrease the bread of the inmates of the workhouse, because the workmen on his estate were obliged, owing to the Corn-laws, to live somewhat worse than before ? To present the Duke of RUTLAND to Prince ALBERT with that celebrated resolution in his hand, would -undoubtedly be a distinguished honour to the QUEEN'S Husband. And would that other Tory Duke, who has avowed 'that his property is to be used, not to contribute to the hap piness of his tenants, but to coerce their votes, and compel them to send those to Parliament who will doom them to slavery and spoliation, raise Prince ALBERT in general estimation by being placed at his Aide ! We differ from the Tories, and 1)..g leave to say that the Tory l an dl or d s , w h o are the great patrons of the Corn-laws, the avowed plunderers of the poor, can confer no honour by their company and presence on any man. The palmy days of Eng land's nobility are, in fact, at an end ; and when they descended to swell their rents, by taxing the poor man's loaf, they became the most degraded of human beings. If the Post scolds, the Herald croaks. It is afraid to speak out, and therefore insinuates that Prince ALBERT may not be sincerely attached to the Protestant faith. We should not be surprised, when he comes to know accurately what the Pro testant faith is in England, were he to abjure it. So much oppression has here been practised in its name—it is now used to cloak so many selfish, sinister, and mischievous schemes, plots, and in trigues—it is so degraded as the watchword of a low-minded, disappointed, political faction, who use it to halloo on the vulgar in the most mischievous career, that it is impossible any reasonable man can continue to respect modern Protestantism merely on account of the honour which belonged to it when it first escaped from the corruption of Popery. The Herald, and the rest of the Journals of the Church, may now rail and croak in vain ; the Protestantism they uphold is rank political Popery, having, instead of an aged and a venerable priest, a lay sovereign at its head, who may be a libertine or an Atheist. The outrageous attempts of the Anglican error, by all sorts of in!rigues, to re-in fest themselves with the powers of the Papal priesthood, have destroyed the esteem in which Protestantism was held by our forefathers. The Times, more annoyed even than the Herald and the Post, try the degradation of its party, vents its spleen by complaining that the-Bishops, Priests, and Deans, are denied the opportunity of com municating with the temporal head of the Church. They are not seated, it implies, at the Royal table, nor received in the Royal presence, nor fa voured by the Royal smile. The whine shows how keenly the priests, who pretend to despise the world, feel—not their exclusion, for they are not excluded—hut the want of favour at Court. If they ►►• ere wholly banished from Court they would deserve it. For months and years they have endeavoured to fan the flame of dissatisfaction in the land. They hale preached uncharitableness, and excited class against class, and sect against sect. They have used their utmost exertions to stop education and to ,- impede the progress of useful knowledge. For years they have endeavoured to overturn the Ministers whom the QUEEN and the nation support. There is no species of mis►epresentation—.no kind of ca lumny—which the priests and their party have spared to wound her MAJESTY and her MAJES TY'S friends. If for their disloyal, undutiful, and factious conduct, they were wholly excluded from Court, they would be treated according to their merits. They arc, however, yet allowed to appear at Court ; and the use their scribes make of the countenance yet shown them is to claim a right to be there, and to condemn those who do not allow them to dictate to her MAJESTY, and control her actions. We rejoice to see the complaint of the Times, and should re joice still more if there were better grounds for making it. What want the holy men with Court fooleries? The Court Maidens have given over confession, and it would be mon: to their honour to seek out the poor, and minister to their wants, than to sigh and whine for the favours and smiles of the QUEEN and her at:endaws. Amongst our extracts from the Dutch papers will b e f oun d an account o f t h e F renc h Ambas mint at the Hague aivina the Burgomaster there 1,000 florins for the ° widow of a pilot, who had lost his life in endeavouring to save the crew of a French ship. We have of late frequently had to record su c h acts of the French Government, and of our own G overnment, as well as of individuals ; 'RE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, PERRI/A.IIY 11,, 1840, and it is cheering to reflect that the same benevo lent act which consoles the deprived widow, confers honour and reputation on the Government. Man is so constituted, that such kindly acts excite his warmest approbation ; and we are surprised that sovereigns have been so long lt'arning this simple and obvious truth, and have preferred being the tyrants and oppressors to the benefactors of their subjects. Thcy have thrdwn away affection as of no value, and have earned instead the hatred of their fellow men. The examples we have referred to lead us to hope that Sovereigns have !earnt a new lesson, and that they will hereafter study to do good, and gain the love and respect of manl:ind. Levers from Athens of the 16th ult., state that King OTHO his dismissed M. GLARAKIS, the Minister of tho Interior, for not officially notifying to the Cabinet the existence of the Russo-Grecian conspiracy, although in possession of the requisite ' documents. This is merely a sacrifice to public opinion as in reality the KING has not sense euoug't to be aware of the danger he has escaped. Not so Sir EthwAnD DOUGLAS, the High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, ‘sho hz.s judged it necessary to cut off all communication with Greece till the afftir is sifted to the bottom. The ramifieations of the plot are well known to the lonian Government, as upon the first notice of its existence the papers of VIARO and AUGUSTINE CAPODISTRIAS, PA TRIZZOPULOS, and MUSTONIDAS, its Corfu, COMA ROMA, in Z snte, and TEPALDO, in Cephalonia, were all seized, and laid before the High Clmmissioner. On the 13th ult. the agents of Messrs. WEIGHT and EYNARD, for the establishment of a bank in Gr;:ece, left Athens without being- able to do an ) thing. After being kept dancing attendance upon a stupid So vEttEturq for nearly nine months, they were allowed. to depart without a hope of being able to realize th e blessing to Greece of a National Bank. Those who imposed such a KING upon such a country have much to answer for to the civilized world. The French Journals of Sunday have been duly received. The following extracts from them contain all the news they bring of any public interest : " It appears from a report of Marshal Valee, addressed to the Minister of War, and dated the Ist of Ft bruary, that the Arabs hate experienced another check in the environs of Belidah. The Araba passed the Ouad-el- Kehir on the night of the 28th January, in order to cur. prize the sol'iers employed in fortifying Belidah. They were repuls7d with great loss, and obliged to recross the river. The French had 65 killed and wounded. The boats from Oran and Bona had • not arrived, so that the Marshal had no news from those two provicces.—Le Con stilutionnd. • EPAIN.--The Medrid mail of the Ist, and that from Aragon of the 3J, have arrived this Morning t they bring no news. A letter from Madrid of the Ist published in the &wt . - nelle des Pyrenees says, " It is repotted that Queen Isa bella is to go to Valencia ; the mild climate of that city bring preferable to that of Madrid. The young Princess has a very deligate constitution, and it is poasible that her physicians may have recoil mended her to go to Valencia, but I much doubt her de parture, for such a resolution would be impolitic) on ae ceunt of the circumstances that might occur. It is true that, contrary to the custom, she has not come out of the palace for several days. The Duke de 13raglie has arrived at Paris. Will he assist the Ministry? The present Ministers have pro bably thought of this combination, which would giv e the m a 2hance of living some fem months longer, and of fallin g with a degree of eclat, but th e res i stance of M. de Ilreglie. is real, and his friends will not tile much trouble to triumph over it.—Courier Francais, REPRESENTATION OF THE UNITED KING , DONI.—(FROM A CORRESPONDENT )—We have stated that the Extension of the Sufliage to the mil lions of the people is inevitable. it is merely a question of time. The people will have what the Constitution of the country really, in spirit,*gives to them ; and which, on the introduction of the Re form Bill, as stated by Mr. Hume, on Mr. Slaney's motion, Lord John Russell distinctly stated to be the soirit of the Constitution.. On the Ist of Ma ch, 1831, his Lordship said (see debates) " that, by the ancient Constitution of the country, no man shall be taxed for the support of the State who has not consented, by himself or his repreent ative, to the imposition of those taxes—it includes all freemen of the land." When we look at the state of the suffrage at pregent, and see five out of every six males of 20 years of age and upwards, excluded from the pale of the Constitution, by not having any voice, "by himself, or by his representa tive," consenting to the taxes which are levied upon every article of necessity which he uses, can we he surprised at the agitation now going on amongst the working classes of this country, who are gene rally the unrepresented class ? When w e see by the Population Tables that there are in the United Kingdom 5,812,276 males of 20 years Of ace and upwards, and that of that nutnser only 812,916 were voters in 1831, can it be wondered at that the masses come forward with strong and urgent demands to be admitted to a larger share of the Suffrage than they now have ? If the work ing classes were lightly taxed—if they were well clothed and well fed, they might wait with ;:atience for an extension of the Suf frage. But when heavy taxation en every atti ch.! of food necessarily exists—when the industry of the country is paralysed by monopolies, which rob the artisan of his rights and check the commerce of the country—when in every town and village squalid misery presents itself to every passerby-- when privations of the most serious nature are carrying tens of thousands, by a lingering death of starvation, to their graves—when unequal, and, -consequently unjust, laws are passed, and main tained by the House of Commons, in which five millions of males of twenty years of age are unre presented, is it a matter of surprise that - content should exist and the demand be made as i t is, for their political rights ? ose five millions are now slaves in a free state, and the insubordination noticed in the Queen's Speech is easily accounted for. We repeat, that an extension of the Suffrage is in evitable, or we shall have a servile war. The choice, therefore, lies between peace and subordination, by concessions of the political franchise to the people, or insubordination and discontent - Thy withholding the people's rights. This is not a time to trifle when the enemy is at the gates th•mdering in a voice not to be misunderstcod ;- and we press upon our rulers, Whig and Tory, to take the wise and the just course. Let her Majesty have peaceable and happy subjects, as the best security to her throne, and holding out the best prospect;; to the country of strength. We have thought it right to offer these re marks as an introduction to tables which we have pie pared with great care of the state of the representation England and Wales, from the returns laid before Parliament ; and we do hope that those with whom the power lies will seriously reflect on the conse quences that may arise from justice delayed: We say no more at present, but refer to the tables an nexed.—[The tables sent are too extensive for our columns. We may state that they contain an ac count of the number of electors, and the different classes of them in every county and borough in England and Wales in 1837. The result is that in that year the number of electors for counties was 472,883, and for boroughs, 325,693, making a total constituency for England and Wales of 798,581.—En. SUN.] The Navy Estimates for 1840, amount to 5,576,975/. being 372,151/. more than the estimates of last year. The estimate for the ((fictive serv i ce in 180, was 3,705,8581., for :840, 4,112,7211. The charge for non-effective service was for 1839, 1,498,966/., for 184, 1,454,2561., being 44,710., less i n th e p resen t than in the last year. The number of men fur which wages are provided is 24,165 seamen, 2,000 boys, 5,500 marines employed afloat, and 3,500 marines cM ployed on shore, altogether 35,165 men and boys. There is also included in the Navy estimates 192,1 571., for the army and ordnance departments. Conveyance of troops &e. was 85,718/. for convict service, making the total Navy Estimates for the year 5,854,851/. There is not to be any Extraordinary Gazette, we believe, this evening, announci ng a large promotion, civil, military, and naval. We understand, in fact, that the Whigs will not profit by this opportunity for aug menting the Peerage, and for promoting their friends in the Army and Navy. Greatly to the disappoint ment of many candidates, there will be no promotion on occasion of the Queen's Marriage, at which the whole kennel of Tories will bark, yelp, end howl, just , as they would h ave barked, yelped' and howled had there been a promotion. Whatever is done, of which they have not the doing, they will censure. FROM THE SUN POET LAUREAT Tune--" The Brave Old Oak." Here's a song to The Sun, the brave old Sun, That has ruled in the country long ; Here's health and renown to its columns long, And subscribers Eve thousand s:rong. It showeth its s:r.rgth on a great del:ate, When the Chronicle and Times run light; And now the Royal Nuptial Sun Fires in the horizon bright. Then firm's to The Sun, &c. THE PENNY POST AND THE ROYAL WEDDING SUN. From the rate at which letters hare flowed in upon us for the last two or three days " we calculate" that our contribution to the t evenue at the end of the week will amount to - something between 2501. and 300/. We do not exaggerate when we say that 990 of every thousand of the money let era we have received would never have been written or transmitted through the Post-office if the Penny-post had not been established. The artifices and subterfuges to which our correspond ents have resor:cd to conceal or protect their enclosures are most amusing and ingenious. One young lady has her half-sovereign tied up in love ribbon, and finished off with a true lover's knot, begging hard to have a true account of how the Queen and Prince Albert looked. A medical gentleman in the North' of Scot land has his " saxpence" secured with a piece of stick inz-plaister l An officer's widow surrounds her shilling with . t,lck crape, and has her honest and loyal heart rejoiced with a portrait of the Queen and Prince Albert, and a full account of the interesting ceremony. A canny Scot splits a card in twain, and inserts his half-crown in the centre to " do" the Postman, and impress him with the belief that there is " nne siller," but merely a double letter, for which ,he has paid his twa pence. An Irish gentleman, who dates his letter from " Ballyki!ga!rnagirFk Castle," requests us to send him two hundred copies of the Queen's Imperial Sum, for a sovereign. We omit the loyalty and enthusiasm of his letter, and we have omitted merely a nortglit in .his order. We hope this hint will be suf ficient. The Tories are evidently coming into power, for so far as we have been able (with the assistance of a dozen extra clerks to glance over the heaps of letters with which cur room is filled;, we find the money most conservativelysecured fr om th e pry i ng eye cr search ofthe post . office - authorities. The following is really too good to omit : TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. • Ste,—Will you have the kindness to cause to be for warded three pair (six) nuptial sheets to my address, value enclosed. Trmtinz that in due coursa (a prayer I am sure you will heartily join in) her Majesty's nuptials may produce a Son as'iilustrious in the political, as your Sun is in the literary world, I am, S r, yours, respectfully, 132 ; George-street, Limerick, J. S., Surgeon. Feb. 8, 1840. Portsmouth, Plymouth, Sheerness, and half a dozen others of the urincipal sea-ports, have poured in their hundreds of letters ; the old Atlm . rals, to do them justice, expcct. the " full valuo" 'of their enclosures, while the blue jackets pay us off with " a flowing sheet," and give unlimited cash and credit orders for a single copy. We must close to-day with an extract from a lawyer's letter—his half-sovereign was tied with red tape, covered with wax, "to cheat the devil in the dark," and had two distinct envelopes over it, severally signed and scaled. He says—" If there are no more Nuplual or Wedding Suns on sale, I trust th;s order tvi6i ;be without prejudice to my recovering the amount enclosed. 7 NVe shall return to our " Wedding Sun" letter-bag to-.-norrow.

After the ceremony, till haw)) , parr will proceed from the pa lace to the teat of h's Kinnoul Park, near St. Asaph, North Wales, where they will reside during the hcnly moon. LITERATURE. L OND ON 11 . 1 AGAZINE. The present is the fist Number of this periodical ; and if its successors . are equal to i: in spirit and viva city, we think it far from unlikely that it may be pular. There is a humourous sketch in it entitled Colonel M.P.," which, allowing for caricature, is not a bad likeness ; the literary explanation attached to this smart engraving is quizzical, without possessing a spark of ilk -nature. " The Diurnal Revolutions of D ;vie Diddledoft," are pleasant reading, and hit off character with much point and sagacity. We must however see more of the London Magazine, before we pronounce a pos;tive opinion on its chances of success or otherwise. All we can say of the Number before us is that it promises well. UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL. The two fi:.St articles in this Number, the " Assault of Glatznea," and the " Blowing up the Wreck of the Royal George," are of old date, and, therefore, not attractive to the general reader. The account of the last, no doubt, is interesting to professional men ; but we are sick of readir.g about the voltaic battery, the fusee 3, cylinders with conical ends, and other ends, the beams, braces, bulkheads, the Royal George, Colonel Pasley, and fifty other names, which appeared in every newspaper some two or three months ago ; thee are the great defects of 'this article, otherwise it would have been interestine; ; and the description of the " first great explosion" is, with all these disadvantages, very striking. There is another defect in the article which is but too common in this periodical, and which the Editor would do well to obviate for the future—we mean cutting up papers into two or three pieces at intervals of months, the consequence of which is that, before the end comes the beginning is forgotten. In this Number there are no fewer than five of these disjecta meinira of articles. If the writers would compress their ideas, and do what soever their hands find to do quickly, this periodical would not be confined to the military and navy. Tice lost banker's pared, we are enabled to say, has been received tLis morning, bearing the Paris post mark. The banquet at the Palace, last evening, was of the most sumptuous kind. A rich profusion of massive plate shone in dazzling brilliancy, on a ground of crimson cloth, which was surmounted with a crown, and white satin rosettes. The company began to assemble shortly before eight o'clock, and at eight dinner was announced. His Serene High ness the Duke of Saxe Coburg led her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent into the barpietting-roora, and was followed by the noble guests. The Foot Guards' band were stationed in the ante-room, and performed many admired airs during the banquet. PRESENT TO THE QUEEN.—On Friday a very fine sturgeon, the first caught in the present Mayoralty in the river Thames, was sent as a present to her Majesty by the Lord Mayor. It was caught in the Thames, off Greenwich, on Thursday. The water-bailiff, by the Lord Mayor's orders, attended in propria persona with the fish at the palace, where it was received with the warmest thanks, and directions were given to the head cook to serve it up at the royal banquet on the royal wedding day. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, we under stand, bestowed a handsome present on Captains Hamilton and Southell, of the packet service, who couamsaded the Ariel packet, which conveyed bim from Calais. We have authority for stating that her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester was prevented from being present upon the occasion of her Majesty's wedding, in conse quence of her Royal Highness having for this last f..rtnight been confined to her house, suffering from the effects of a severe cold, and not- being sufficiently recovered to encounter the fatigue of a considerable procession at so early an hour. The Earl of Minto gave a grand dinner last evening at the Admiralty in honour of the Queen's marri 'e. Among the guests w e re : —Si r Ch ar l es Adam, Sir William Parker, Sir I'.

The mansion belongs to Lord Ingesirie, who let the house last season to the Prince of Capua. The Duchess will remove, it is ,understood, from Bucki ng h am P a l ace to h er new abode in about three weeks. The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland arrived in town on Saturday, from Alnwiels Castle. Their Graces remained one night at Stanwick Park, the seat of- Lord Prudhoe, en route to town. Lord Augustus Fitzclarence caused to be dis tributed, on Monday, to his parishioners at Maple Durham, materials for a good dinner, at their own homes, in honour of the Queen's marriage. DEATH OF ADMIRAL SIR HARRY NEALE, Bone.—The melancholy information arrived here this morn ing, ft om Brighton, of the eleniise of Admiral Sir Harry Neale, Bart., in the seventy-sixth year of his age. The gallant admi ral, having been indisposed for some time, hai left his seat at Walhanspton about three weeks foe change of air. His suffer ing at the close of lif e was very sev , re. Sir Harry Neale was a great favourite of King George the Third, and in constant attendance upon his Majesty during his aquatic excursions at Weymouth. Ma, gallant admiral and his family for many years held the patronage of this borough till the passing of the Reform Bill, and strictly adhered to Conservative principles. The worthy baronet. will be lamented by a large circle of fi lends, and the poor around his domain have lost a kind and benevolent protector.—Lyrnitigton, Feb. 9, 1840. Died, at 5, West Claremont -street, on the 31st ultimo, Mrs. Park, relict of the celebrated Mungo Park, aged 59. The Earl of Stamford and Warrington, on being informed that much distress existed at the present time in Ashton-under-Lyne, amongst the poor, has generously sub scribed 2001. for their relief.

THE BLOODHOUNDS I—We lament to per ceive in some of the Tory pap ers, pu bli shed in the provinces, something very like blood-thirstieess. Not a few of these Con servative and most Christian journals hint that Frost, Jones, and Williams should have been hung, drawn, and quartered. After sparing these persona' lives (say these equally cruel and unwise writers) no man, however criminal, can with a shadow of justice be put to death. Mr. Thos Devyr, the conductor of the Northern Liberator, who has been twice committed for trial at the en suing assizes, on a charge of sedition, and on each occasion liberated on bail, absconded from Newcastle a week or two ago; and, as we have si nce been informed , sailed from Live r p oo l for the United States on Saturday morning last. He was accempanied by his wife, and also by Mr. hut anti, late of the Side, New castle, chemist, a well-known Chartist agitator. The latter, from prudential motives, entered himself on the ship's books as " Mr. Johnson." Mr. John Bleckey, one of Mr. Devyr's bondsmen, was in persuit of the fugitives, and 'arrived in Liver pool in sufficient time—to be " just too late." Ills quondam associate ha i sailed from England— " Aed he was left lamenting." Mason, another of the bailed Chartists, is also a fugitive; and we therefore cannot be so surprised as Master Gilchrist, that A yre cannot find bondsmen.— Gateshead Observer. TRAVELLING IN FRANCE.—.I can use no other epithets than abominable and disgusting to travelling both in France and Belgium. It was only a fostnight back that- I denied myself the pleasure of my annual visit to Ccuut Duval, to celebrate the fetepf St. Hubert, the patron of the Belgic chase, when he has a party of upwards of thirty of the elite of Belgium and other countries in his house_feeling something approachi e , to a horror of the jouiney, although not more thee about 133 miles. But, reader, you shall hear how it is performe a Dunkirk, 24 miles, five hours, stop here two. All the night going to Lille, 50 miles, stop there an hour in a coach-office. Then a change from a five to a three-horse diligence. When 1 was once condemned to a seat in it, it weighed eight tons on the weigh-bridge, having 34 passengers ! Well, this " drags its slow length along" until you-ean see before you the town at which you are to breakf as t ( a t a b out 10 A.m.), distant some petite h ello, my two English miles. But when will you arrive there ? Why not until every box, and trunk, and pack which this huge machine carries has been opened and examined by the Custom-house officers on entering the Belgic frontier.—Nim rod in the Neu, Illonthlo. We are informed, u p on th e very best authority, that the division of last week was considered to be so satisfac tory, that it has set aside all idea of a dissolution of Parliament for the present Session. We are rejoiced to hear this, but still the Liberal electors should not g o to sleep, as the course of poli tics is often very whimsical andcapricious.—Liccrpool Citron. Two LUCKY DISCOVERIES..--- A paragraph under this head appeared in the last number of the Saturday Evening Post, and since repeated in two papers connected therewith, insinuating that some improper liberties had b: , en taken by one of the masters of a public work with the wife of one of their workmen, while that workman, with others, was in attendance at a supper and ball given by the masters. The scene, and other circumstances, though vaguely given, having been by public rumour applied to one or other of the masters of a public work in this town, we are authorised to state, that as far as the gentlemen alluded to are concerned, there is not one word of truth in the paragraph. They never gave a ball and supper to their workmen; no man has left their employ ment for the last month ; and so far from any one having gone off to America with his employer's notes and gold, there has not a man left their Service for the last three months whom they could not produce in Paisley in twenty-four hours.— Paisley Adverliser. With the exception of Thursday✓ last, which was remarkably fine, the weather since our last has been most de plorable. No one remembns so ungenial and unseasonable an approach of spring. The rain has fallen incessantly night and day, and for a vast distance the champagne country surrounding our rivers and brooks are flooded to a great depth ; in fact, the Severn and Teme resemble inland seas, and at night the twinkling Pght in the window of Bowyear's Retreat, at the Grand Stand, from amidst the dark expanse of water, puts the spectator in mind of some lone light-hcuse far away on ocean rock.— Worcester Herald. Dr. Alexander Turnbull, formerly of Carlisle, is now in the enjoyment of great celebrity in London, especially for his astonishing success in communicating to deaf and dumb paients the sense of hearing, which leads, of courte, to the ac quirement of speech.-- Gateshead Observer, Eti a L - 31_ _z.124 QUEEN VICTO lOni FEBRUARY, 1840. HER MAJESTY'S NUPTIALS. —REJOICINGS IN THE NE1,31-IBOURHOOD OF THE METROPOLIS AND IN TilE COUNTRY. FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) At Wandsworth the paupers in the Union Work house had an extra allowance, and were allowed an op portunity of drinking to the health and happiness of her Majesty and her husband. There were also some illu minations in the town. At Croydon the inmates of the workhouse were rc gaged in a similar manner, and the day was kept as a holiday. At Kingston there was a dinner, at which W. Mer cer, Esq. The Mayor presided. The poor of the neigh bourhood also received substantial marks of kindness from the gentry. Upwards of 150 of the inhabitants dined at the Robin Hood. At Richmond the day was kept as a holiday. There were public dinners, at which all the respectable inha bitants attended, and in the evening there was a pretty general illumination. At Romferd, Ilford, Bow, and the other towns in this direction, there were similar proceedings, and there is no doubt but that they would have.been carried out on a much more extended scale, but for the short time allowed for the preparations. At Guildford every poor man, woman, and child had presented to them half a pound of meat and a half quartern loaf; the amount necessary for that I,urpose having been subscribed by the inhabitants, and the Town Hall was also brilliantly illuminated. Nine hundred and eighty children were presented with a bun each. and the members of every poor family had half a pint of beer given to them in addition to the above allowance of meat and bread. The Mayor and Corporafon of the borough dined with the inhabitants, and at night there was a grand_ball at the White Hart. The paupers in the workhouse had also an extra allowance given thee'. At Reigate, by the directions of the Board of Gu tr diens, the inmates cf the workhouse were regaled with prime roast beef, plum-pudding, and ale. There w.s dinner and ball in the evening. At Epsom a public dinner took place, at the Spsead Eagle, and in the evening the town was for the first time I , gh:ed with gas. At Dorking, seven hundred children belonging to the N etional and British Schools were regaled with a din ner, as were the aged and infirm of the parish. A pablic dinner of the inhabitants took place in the even ing, at the Red Lion. The band of the town gave their services Gratuitously, and the day passed off with the utmost hilarity. Mr. Harvey Combe, the opulent brewer, gave a most splendid entertainment at his scat, Cobham Park. Workmen were employed for several days in fitting up the barns upon his prope - ty for the reception of all the poor persons in the parish and neighbourhood, and a substantial repast was provided, and several casks of fine old ale were broached upon the occasion. Upwards of two hundred poor persons sat down to dinner, and it might be truly said that there was not a sad heart or miles from the spot. Mr. Combe, with a number • of the neighbouring gentry, paid the utmost attention to the poor persons, and saw that their wants were all provided for in the most ample manner. A band of was - provided, end at the conclusion of the dinner the health of her Majesty and Prince Albert was proposed and drank in the most enthusiastic manner, and the band played the National Anthem, In the evening, Mr. Combe had a numerous party of gentry and trades men residing in the neighbourhood, and a ball and supper concluded the evening's entertainments. HER MAJESTY'S NUPTIALS. (FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) Nothstanding the miserable state of the weather at an early hour the busy note of preparation was sounded in all parts of the metropolis, and at day light a great number-of spectators had already assembled in the_ immediate vicinity of the Mall, and Buckingham Palace. Since this time, up to twelve o'clock, the number of persons rapidly increased, and in spite of the rain which came down in torrents from ten till eleven oVock, those persons who obtained good stations kept their positions, and the rain appeared to be taken no notice of in the excitement of the scene. At twelve o'clock, the Mall, from the Duke of /York's column to the Palace, presented one dense mass of human beings, and the number present was estimated variously at from eighty to one hundred thousand persons. The centre walk of the Mali from the Palace to .the garden entrance of St. James's was kept clear by the police, and a regiment of Life Guards and Dragoons. The police were under the direction of Superintendents firindsclt - and Lincoln, and the force deserves great praise for the arrangements, for the pre sereation of order, and for the forbearance with which the duty was performed. Just before twelve o'clock, a rather laughable occurrence took place. A man had mounted into one of the trees, which it seems was against the orders, and the police requested him to come down. He, however, refused to do so, and one of the constables immediately got up into the tree to compel him to do so. The man climbed to the very highest part of the tree to avoid his pursuer, but the constable was quite as good a climber as he was, and ho followed him to the top, when a parley took place, and the man promised to descend, and the constable retired from him. He had no sooner done so, than the man again got up into the tree, upon which the constable went up a second time to him, and caught hold of his trousers, and compelled him to come down after him, amid the cheers and laughter of the mob. As noon approached, the impatience of the crowd began to increase, and meny anxious wishes were expressed for the appearance of the bridegroom, who, it was known, would first leave the Palace. A short time before 12 o'clock, the carriage containing the Prince and those of his suite were seen emerging from the Palace. His Highness was vociferously cheered. He bowed to the spectators on both sides of the avenue, and appeared to be bighly pleased with his reception. In 20 minutes her Majesty's cortege followed that of Prince Albert. Hcr Majesty appeared somewhat paler than usual, but, as the procession moved along, receiving the plaudits of the assembled multitude, it passed away, and she speedily resumed her wonted appearance. It was nearly one o'clock before the procession returned Prince Albert, this tune, accompanying her Majesty, with her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. They were greeted all the way on their return to Buckingham Pala be with the most d ea f en i ng plaudits from the crowd. Notwithstanding the immense number of per. sons that were assembled, our Correspondent did net hear of any serious accident taking place. (From the Globe of yesterday ) • PROCEEDINGS IN THE PARK. At a very early hour this morning crowds of anxious gazers were assembled in St. James's Park ; even so early as six o'clock numbers were already stationed in the Mall and near the entrance to the Palace. The morning was blusterous, and a slight rain began to fall about seven. Notwithstandin g this, numbers of re spectably dressed persons, truth male and female, con tinued to pour ir:to the- Park from all quarters of the metropolis, and cabs and coaches might be seen almcat from da)light,.pouring into the metropolis front every direction. The Commissioners of "olive, to prevent accidents, had issued directions that no standings should be fixed in the Park, and the constables placed at the different entrances bad directions to prevent the admission of tables, planks, or benches. The speculators, however, wire determined not to be foiled, and a great number of articles of the above description were throsn over the railings of the Park in Piccadilly, hnd in an incre dibly short space of time the whole distance opposite to the entrance to the Palace down to the end of the railings inside the Green Park was covered with benches and Vatforrns, and the " standings" were speedily occupied by the persons assembled. About eight o'clock a large body of police from all the divisions of the Metropolitan Police Force, under the charge of experienced officers, mustered in the Mali, and shortly afterward s they were stationed frotrs the Palace to the entrance of the Chapel at St. James's. About the same time, two battering trai of Ryal Artillery f rom W oolwich, each consisting ns of the four g o uns, arrived, and wer e stat i oned inside the Park for the.pur, from the Palace to Si. James's. pose of liriag royal salutes as her Majesty proceeded) kept line of road was kept by regiments of Life Guards and Dragoons, and a clear space was kept down the centre of the Mall fot the passage of the royal and iliusirious cortege. At nine o'clock the Royal Standard was hoisted on the summit of the beautiful classic marble arch in front of the- Palace. Banners were flying, and other testimonials of the joyous occasion, were to; be seen flrating from the different club-houses, hoteis, and private dwelling-hou ses i n t h e neighbourhood of St. James's. Sever a l extra bodies of police, amounting in number to upwards of 2,000, were stationed at the different avenues leading to, and in the Park, for the purpose of .keeping order and regularity, and their vigi, lance was apparent in detecting, as usual, several of Os* " swell mob " who had commenced their depredationa. Those persons who had gained access into the Park during the night, for the purpose of erecting standing
