GENERAL POST-OFFICE, October, 1844. A S it is not safe to transmit Letters containing Coin or A Articles of Jewellery through the Post, Parties hav ing occasion to remit small sams in Cash, are recom mended to make use of the Money Order Office, where they will incur no hazard. Money Orders, for Sums not exceeding Five Pounds, are granted and paid by every Post Town in the United Kingdom, and by the Chief Office in St. Martin's-le-Grand, the three Branch Offices, Charing-cross, Cavendish-street, and the Borough, and also by the principal Receiving Houses within the Twelve Mile Circle round the General Post-Office. Those who may desire to remit Bank Notes or Drafts payable to Bearer, may Register the Letter on payment of a Fee of Is. in addition to the postage; in this case the afest course will be to cut such Notes, &c. in half, send ing each half, if possible, by two different Posts. In the case of Bank Notes or Bank Post Bills being sent, the Numbers, Dates, and Amounts should' he carefully taken. Money Orders for any sum not exceeding £2 may be obtained for 3d. each ; and tor any sum over £2 and not exceeding £5 for 6d. With the great convenience thus afforded for transmit- Vng small Sums at so low a charge, and the power now given of Registering Letters containing value, it is hoped the Public will no longer forward Letters of value, except in one or other of these methods. PROTECTION FROM ACCIDENTAL OR INCEN DIARY FIRES. London and Birmingham Railway Office, Euslon Slalion, Bth April, 1844. am instructed to send the enclosed report of kJthe results of the public experiments on your Fire resisting Boxes and Safes, at the Camden Station of this Company, which t.as authorised by the Directors to be made under the immediate superintendence of their own officers; and to congratulate you on the complete success of the very severe trials by which you have allowed your admirable invention to be tested. I am, sirs, your obedient servant, R. CREED, Secretary. Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son, Liverpool. Patents for England, Ireland, and Scotland, sealed 1840. MILNERS' NEW PATENT FIRE-RESISTING DEED, PLATE, AND CASH BOXES, BOOK SA FPS, AND GUNPOWDEII. MAGAZINES, &c., &c., WARRANTED TO BEAR MORE HEAT, WITHOUT INJURY TO THEIR CONTENTS, THAN ANY OTHERS OF EQUAL DIMENSIONS. Of 14 graduating sizes, suitable for all purposes, from 30s. to £l4 each ; for additional inner chamber, doubling the thickness, and trebling the resisting power 50 per cent. more each size. The Chambers within Milners' Boxes and Safes con tain the best Chemical non-conductor of heat, and Tubes imbedded therein filled with alkaline fluid, which escapes into the non-conductor whenever Fire reaches the Box and heats it to the boiling point, steaming the chambers and contents, neutralizing in the latent heat of the steam IMO degrees of heat, keeping down the temperature, and preventing ignition. From every pint of fluid in the Chamber is slowly dis charged into and condensed in the contents of the Box upwards of 200 Gallons of Stearn, of more certain avail in saving the Papers than tons of water thrown into a burning bu;lding with the same object. The advantage of this principle, embracing "the exclu sive use of any material evolving moisture on the applica tion of heat,' over every other description of Box or Safe, is the advantage that Water has over every Ming else in quenching Fire. An Iron Safe of one inch in solid thickness exposed to red heat will char papers within it in fifteen minutes, and remain a burning prison for them for hours afterwards. Milner's Fire-resisting Pr inciple has been investigated, tested in Red !teat from One to Twelve Hours, in various thickness, from 1 to 6 inches, and approved by the au thorities and scientitic and practical men, in the leading towns of the three kingdoms. Under the auspices of the Royal Dublin Society and the Liverpool Polytechnic Society : see Mr. Samuel Woods, jun. pamphlet " On the Preservation of Documents from Fire," &c. &c. &c. The patentees have certificates from parties whose books have been preserved by the boxes in fires on their pre mises. In the late fire in George-street, Manchester, nine out of ten houses lost their ho,ks in their iron safes.

TO HEADS OF FAMILIES, &c. FREEMAN'S SWEET ESSENCE OF SENNA. (The most agreeable Purgative.) Containing in a highly concentrated fortn , all the active principle of senna entirely deprived of its nauseating and griping properties, and rendered so peculiarly pleasant to the taste, that children will take it with a positive relish. The extraordinary merit of this medicinal novelty has obtained for it the dis , inguished patronage of Her Ma ksty—the Queen Dowager—rthe following Physicians to Her Majesty and the Que. n Dowager, Sir C. M. Clark. Bert., M.D., Dr. Ferguson, and Dr.. Locock—Sir David Davies, and Dr. Holland—by many Princes, Noble., and Ffanilies of distinction, by most of the eminent Physicians and Medical Men in London, who have been for several years, and now are, in the daily habit of prescribing and recommending it as the best and safest domestic aperient for females and children—the aged and delicate—the nervous—the bilious—the habitually costive, and those suffering from piles, worms, sickness, or head ache, and as being particularly adapted for ladies during pregnancy, and children during dentition. Impelled by a sense of duty, confideat of conferring a great national benefit, the proprietor proudly submits it to the patronage of , a discerning public. assured that a single trial will convince every one of its inestimable value as a pleasant, safe, and efficacious domestic aperient, the Moderate pries of which places it within the reach of every family. Sold by all respectable Vendors of Medicine, in Bottles at Is:, 26. 6d., 55., 12s. 6d. and 20s. each. CAUTION—The great celebrity this medicine has attain ed, having induced many druggists in Scotland and Eng land to put up for sale, base and worthless imitation, to the serious injury of the original Preparation. Purchasers are therefore requested to ask for Freeman's Sweet Es sence of Senna, each genuine bottle of which is signed John Freeman. To the Medical Profession, Captains of Ships, and Person . ; Travelling abroad. TESTIMONIAL. 48, Stamford-►treet, V London, August 2, 1844. Sir,—l have much pleasure in beating testimony to your unique and elegant preparation of Senna, which contains in a highly concentrated form, the active princi ple of that Valuable Domestic Aperient. I have taken it out with me twice to India, and haring found it to preserve the active principle of Senna quite free from fermentation, I consider it admirably adapted for persons travelling abroad: and am quite sure, that no person who knew its value, would ever take a voyage without a supply of your Sweet Essence of Senna. I remain, Sir, yours respectfully, R. MAPLETON, Surgeon. To Mr. J. Freeman, Blackfrisrs-road, London. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. CORONATION OF THE KING OF SWEDEN'.—A letter from Stockholm of the Ist, gives the following account of iteg e cache_ could d the coronation in that city :—" The coronation of their m r a al. jesti T es he was morningcelebrated ra2oinlyh, in c n the having o n beenthe not proceed to the church in the order agreed on. Their majesties, not wishing to delay the ceremony, went there in their carriages, and were greeted with loud expressions of joy. After the divine service, the coronation took place. When it was concluded, the prince royal and his brothers, the Dukes of Upland and Ostrogothie, took the paths of fidelity to the king, who embraced them both. The act of homage of the states general also offered an imposing spectacle; and after they had taken the oath the vault of the church rung with c r i es o f " L ong li ve K ing Oscar !" The weather having cleared up, their majesties returned to the palace on foot, in the order prescribed by the ceremonial. An immense crowd was assembled along the passage, and the windows, roofs, and stands erected for the occasion, were filled with spectators, who threw flowers in the line of the procession, and greeted the king with loud shouts of welcome and approbation. The queen dowager could not, on account of her mourning, be present at the august ceremony ; - but on the return of their majesties to the palace, they proceeded to her apart ment to pay their respects. The Duke de Dalecarlie and the Princess Engine were present at the coronation in a tribune apart. The diplomatic corps and the foreigners of distinction, on leaving the church, proceeded to the inner court of the palace, to present their homage to their majesties on their passage. The king, the same day, gave a grand dinner of GOO covers. In the evening the city was illuminated, and their majesties, accompanied by the younger branches of the royal family, went through the streets in au open carriage, amidst loud acclamations. The next day the king received, in separate audiences, the ministers of England and Denmark, who presented let ters of congratulation from their respective sovereigns on his coronation. In the evening a fire burst out in the northern faubourg, but was put down after one house had been consumed. The king proceeded to the scene on horseback." The Hanover Gazette announces, that a treaty of com merce had been concluded between the - governments of Hanover and Denmark. The Belgian Government has declined ratifying the recent public sale of th,. British Queen, upon the ground that the sum named—viz., 170,500 f., was far below the value of that splendid steam-vessel. In the midst of a bull-fight at Rea, near Valladolid, on the 19th ult., a platform continuing 1000 persons gave way, and above 200 were more or less injured. Three were killed, eight mortally wounded, and twenty severely so. • A Berlin journal gives an account of an extensive rob bery at Stockholm on the 27th ult. The offices of the General insurance Compat.v were broken into, and pri vate bills to the amount ot 300,000 rix-dollars, and bank notes to the amount of 117,000 rix dollars, carried off. The most remarkable excavator in modern times, in any part of the world, has been the Pasha ~f Egypt. The Mahmoodie canal alone is twenty-three leagues in length ; no fewer that 313,000 men having been occupied for the space of ten months in its construction. For some years past, the number of workmen employed in hydraulic works in Egypt has exceeded 350,000.—Bombay Times. THE ,AMERICAN ICE TRADE.—The amount of ice shipped from Boston last year, is stated in the American papers to have been 55,000 tons. The cost to the shippers is 12,430 dollars, or something less than Is. per ton; but it is delivered on shipboard generally at 2-55 dollars per ton. The average receipts for sales is 3;575,000 dollars, leaving a difference of 3,562,570 dollars. from which the freight is to be deducted: thus a princely sum remains to go to the profit account. One firm freighted with it 101 vessels last season. It is regularly shipped to Bombay, Canton, Madras, Calcutta, Mauritius, and all ports of consequence in warm climates. One cargo was recently shipped to the East Indies, and exchanged, pound for cotton, and the latter taken to Liverpool, thus realizing a profitable voyage.—American paper. THE LATE ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF THE KING OF PRUSSlA.—Tschech, who attempted to assassinate the King of Prussia, and who was sentenced to suffer death upon the rack, is not only to escape that punish ment, as we were sure be would, but his life is to be alto gether spared. Strange to say, however, there seems to be a difficulty in carrying this humane intenti,n into effect, because the culprit himself will not ask for the boon ! " You may do what you like with try body," is his language, " but 1 defy you to bend the resolution of my soul." On the ether hand, the King of Prussia has declared that. " he will never suffer blood to be shed for: an offence which was exclusively personal against himself and that, rather than put him to death he would grant him a free pardon." His Majesty's Ministers having urged that suet, a proceeding might encourage other at tempts upon his life, he replied, " Well, then, if we can not find tiny other means of disposing of this man, I shall be competed to do what Bernadotte did ten years ago." The case bee referred to by his Majesty- was that of a person who had been condemned to death for a libel upon the King of Sweden, and whom it was wiShed to pardon, but 'who, like rschec, refused to ask for his life. 'ln the end, Bernadotte granted a general amnesty to all political prisoners, which of course included this individual. It is not often that mercy is put to so much trouble. --- DR. WOLFF. We (Morning Pose) publish the following from autho rity :'--Letters have been received from Dr. Wolff, dated Bokhara, June 27, and August, 1. Their contents exhi bit the same magnanimous self-devotion, but they stand in melancholy contrast with those idle reports which have appeared lately in the papers, and which, whatever may be the motives of those who employ themselves in origi nating them, can answer no other end than that of mys tifying and misleadingthe public on this very grave af fair. In his letter of the 27th the Rev. Doctor says : " I have now been already two months in this place and al. though five or six times the Ki..g has promised to send me in. stanVy to EnOand with one of his ambassadors, I am in the greatest danger.

MATTI" EW.—Thelast number of the Inquirer contains a painful . statement of the embarrassed 'circum stances in which this gentleman is at present placed, and an appeal in his behalf. The embarrassments have been increased by his zeal in the temperance movement. II YDROPHOBIA.—An awful case of hydrophobia occur red at Marfhalicvvn last week. There had been a pig be longing to a Mrs. Coffey bitten by a rabid dog: the pig was killed, and a cat in the house ate Fa? t of the entrails; the cat a short time alter bit Mrs. Coff , y and her daugh ter—the melancholy result was the death of both last week from the dire malady.— Cork Conseitu'ion. TRADE OF DOBLIN.—The quarter ended on the 10th instant gives a customs receipt in this port for £271,734, against £263,759 received in the similar period 'of 1813 ; showing an excess in favour of the current year of £10,875. The year ended the 18th October, 1843, the receipts in Dublin amounted to £938.991, the year ended on Wednesday week gives a receipt of £1,037,7691 being £98,778 of a❑ increase in favour of this year. SINKING OF THE DUBLIN CUSTOM-HOUSE QUAY.- Tuesday evening, at the Custom-house Quay, ' diately in front of the Customhouse, a portion of the quay, about 130 yards, suddenly sunk float its usual level, in some places. upwards of seven, and in others fifteen fret in depth. The breadth of the breach varies from five to seven lards, and what is very strange, the outer wall next the river ktpt its place, sinking a little,'but not slip. ping from its original position. Fears are entertained for the safety of the Custom-house whi , l is built on piles. HEROIC CONDUCT.—On Thursday evening last, the largest of the bears in the Dublin Zoolog:cal Gardens managed to get from the pit into the outer cage before the keeper had made his escape from the latter place. The bear se!zed him by the leg and threw him down, and would, in all probability, have torn him to pieces, but that one of the gardeners, a stout fellow, named Power, fl,w to his rescue, and, with a well-aimed blow of an iron -bar, struck the bear on the head with such force that the animal died shortly after. REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—At the usual weekly meeting of the Repeal Asso'ation, on Monday last, a letter was read from Mr. O'Connell. He labours to r how through-, out that in seeking for the repeal, the Roman Catholics desire no ecclesiastical ascendancy, and that the Irish Protestants ought not to retain any jealousy or apprehen sion on that score. He has abandoned the intention, if he had any, of holding any more " monster" meetings, upon the ground that it would appear to be an insulting braggadocio to revive them. Speaking of the Irish peo ple, he gives us a vision of what we may expect after his death. He says :—" Whilst we, leading agitators, and prlrticularly whilst I. happen to live, they will never seek to carry the repeal by forcible or violent mean*. But the man is worse than mail who does not perceive in the con duct of the Irish people that determination to establish self-government, which, when the present leaders, and I amongst them are removed, may well produce separati on, but can never tolerate the continuance of the Union."— Towards the close of the letter, he heaves repeal over. board, and, submitting to the views of Mr. Gray,,Porter, declares for a Federal Parliament. Here are the words of the retrogading demagogue :—" For my own part, I will own, that since I have come to contemplate the spe cific differences, such as they are, between ' simple repeal and ' federalism,' I do at present feel a preference for the federative plan, as tending more to the utility of Ire land, and to the maintenance of the connection with Eng land, then the mode of simple repeal. But I must either deliberately propose, or deliberately adopt from some other person, a plan of a Federative Union, before I bind myself to the opinion which I now entertain." The week's rent amounted to about £390. BALLOON ASCENT, AND FORTUNATE ESCAPE.-0/1 Monday last, Mr. Hampton, the aeronaut, made his se cond ascent in Dublin, from the Portobello Gardens, which resulted in the total destruction of his balloon. The fineness of the day attracted a large and fashionable com pany. The handsome balloon being inflated, appeared impatient to ascend. Some small pilot balloons were sent up, and at half-past four o'clock the signal gun was fired, and Mr. Hampton took his seat in the basket, and the machine sublimely rose from the earth amidst loud cheers. There was scarcely a breath of wind, and it attained an altitude of about a mile. It passed towards the Custom house, and from the gas that escaped on opening the valves, partly collapsed. On approaching Ballybough Bridge, seeing the railway near him, and fearing to cast his grappling iron, lest a train might pass. be resolved to descend immediat.lv, and opening the valves, moved ra— pidly downwards. The car and balloon had almost touched the earth, when a ground breeze suddenly rose and drafted it towards some houses. 13e then observed the chimney of a house close by to be on fire, and called out to the men below. who had already caught hold of the ropes, to pull towards a neighbouring field, but before they could do so, the balloon came in contact with the roof of the house, and also with the flame of the chimney ; a fearful explosion took place, and the immense globe was soon a dense vo lume of fire and smoke. The doors and windows of the neighbouring houses were much injured. Mr. Hampton threw himself nut of the car just before the flames reached it, and being caught by some persons before coming to the ground, was not hurt. The balloon, valued at £5OO, was completely destroyed in the space of a minute, and it was his sole property. It was of silk, and 40 feet in diameter, by 60 feet in height. A subscription was about to be set on foot in his behalf. THE COI I RT 4- FASHIONABLE WORLD. DEPARTURE OF LOUIS PHILIPPE. unfavourable change in the weather compelled the royal party to alter completely the arrangements respect ing the departure of the King of the French, which had been previously made: . At twelve o'clock on Monday the I carriages of her Majesty and of the King of the French, and of their immediate suite, were drawn up to the door of the grea' entrance of Windsor Castle, and in a few mi nutes after, having .ken leave of the Duchess of Kent, who accompanied them down to the bottom of the great staircase, their Majesties, the Duke de Montpensier, Prince Albert, and the Royal suites, took their departure. The royal cortege proceeded to Farnborough by the same route as that by which they came to Windsor, and there were parties of Lancers and Guards to escort them to the station. At Farnborough every preparation had been , made to receive their Majesties. . The station was reached at a quarter to two ; when, during the interval that elapsed while the train was being finally prepared for starttne, the royal party remained in the reception room. At a feW minutes to two o'clock they came out, and entered the state carriage amidst the loud cheers of the people. It was still raining heavily when • the train started, at five minute- to two o'clock. The train reached Gosport at thirty-five minutes past three. Extensive and magnificent preparations had been made at Portsmouth for the reception of the royal party, but the pauring rain and heavy wind spoiled everything. There was great doubt and confusion for some time. It appeared mat a very heavy sea was running at the harbour's mouth, and from the state of the weather—a gale blowing—it was aryprehended that if the King of the French attempted to cross, to Treport, he might not be able to land there, as the coast is most unfavourable for embarkation in stormy weather. Eventually it was decided that a special train should be sent from London to Dover, to order a packet to be in readiness to carry his Majesty across to Calais, from whence he was to post on to Treport. Misfortune still waited on the King, for the railway station in London was in flames on their Majesties' arrival there. The con fusion was terrible. At last his Majesty got off aga i n f rom London ataquarter pasteleven o'clock. A most lamentable calamity occurred at Portsmouth on Monday evening. As the royal artillerymen were reloading one of the guns, the charge went off, and blew one of them to pieces, and the other was horribly mutilated, and has since died. At a quarter-past seven the King of the French and the Duke da Montpensier took leave of the Queen and the Prince, and proceeded, accompaeied by M. Guizot, Count de St. Aulaire, and suite, by railway, arriving at Nine Elms about half after ten, where his Majesty was met by Sir James Graham with one of the reyal carriages, in which they proceeded immediately to the Dover Railway, escorted by a trop of the Life Guards, and drove into the station, whilst the whole of that noble building was in flames. At midnight on Monday his Majesty and suite left the New Cross Station, on the Dover line of railway, and arrived at Dover at 4 past two on Tuesday mottling, and stayed during the night at the Ship Hotel, where apart ments were prepared for the royal visitors at almost an hours notice. At sunrise a salute from the battery an nounced to the inhabitants the unexpected visit of his Majesty ; and at half-past eight o'clock the Mayor and council were all summoned, when an address was agreed to and presented to the King. After breakfast his Ma jesty left the Hotel to embark, the soldiery and police tieing the avenue as he passed to the quay. It was raining hard at the time, and the wind was blowing in heavy gusts. The piers were, however, densely crowded, as also every available spot where a sight of his Majesty could be obtained, And a vast number of carriages were on the road. His Majesty's appearance in his earspicu • ous white coat was greeted wiih the liveliest enthusiasm. His Majesty descended the steps of the Hotel, and walked to the Crosswall Pier with his hat off, bowing repeatedly to the hearty greetings of the crowd. The dreadful weather, the rain falling in torrents, made his condescension the more appreciated, and his Majesty was enthusiastically cheered as he proceeded to embark on the French steamer Le Nord. He was escorted to the vessel by the Mayor and Town-Clerk. Having embarked he immediately ascended the poop, and repeatedly bowed to the cordial ana enthusiastic farewells which he received. During the embarkation the band of the 52d Regiment played the National Anthem. Le Nord, on steaming out of the harbour, was accompanied by the Atiel, and the Swallow, as an escort to the offing, when these steamers returned. Shortly afterwards the Princess Alice, con taining the servants and baggage, followed in the wake of Le Nord to Calais, and the crowd then dispersed to talk over this very unexpected visit. Immediately on the de parture of the King of the French and suite for Dover, (from Portsmouth) Her Majesty and Prince Albert embarked at the Clarence-yard in the barge of the royal yacht, attended in their respective barges by the Lords- of the Admiralty, and numerous other distin guished officers, and proceeded on board the Victoria and Albert, where her Majesty was received by Lord Adol phus Fitzclarence. Her Majesty arid her illustrious con sort slept on board the royal yacht in the harbour. All ceremony was dispersed with, and her Majesty and the prince e Consort retired to rest at an early hour. In the tnoining the weather overhead was very fine, the sun shone forth with splendour. At an early hour the ships in harbour were (tressed in their gayest colours, and sa luted as the royal yacht was signalled to be under weigh iu the harbour. At ten minutes past eight, the royal yacht passed the Platform bath ry, which saluted as the yacht passed. The scene at Spithead as the royal yacht neared the fleet there anchored was never to be erased from the memory of those who beheld it. The French ships fired first their main-deck starboard side guns, and then the spar-deck larboard side, fore and aft; then re versed the order, and fired main-deck larboard side, and spar-deck starboard side. The Victoria and Albert was steered at about twenty minutes past eight alongside the Corner, when her Majesty went on board that steamer to breakfast. The royal standard was removed thereupon from tae Victoria and Albert, and heisted on board the Cotner. when another salute in broadsides acknowledged the honour. Her Majesty was received on the quarter deck by Vice-Admiral La Susse, who conducted her Ma jesty and her illustrious consort to the st,te apartments used by his 'Majesty Louis Philip. The royal tiarty re mained on board about an hour, and then re-entered her Majesty's yat ht for Cowes. The Vulcan steam-stoop and the Eclair were the only Government vessels which followed her Majesty's yacht on leaving Spithead. The royal yacht did not steam round the Wight, as expected, but on leaving Spithead steeled direct to Cowes, where at about half-past ten, her Majesty disembarked and proceeded to Osborne House. At about half-past twelve o'clock the Lightning steam-vessel returned into harbour, with the Lords of the Admiralty on board, their flag flying from. the mast ' head.;- The King of the French and suite landed at Cshis at half-past two on the same day, in excellent health and spirits, and immediately set off for the Chateau d'Eu, which they reached at night. --.,.11,..---. The Gazette of Tuesday anncunces that Lord Ellenbc rougk has been created Earl of Ellenborough in the county of Cumberland, and Viscount Southern, of Southam, in the county of Gloucester. The jewellery worn by the Marquis of Westminster on Friday, was of the most superb character. ln the centre of his lordship's badge was the celebrated Arcot diamond, valued at 15,000 guineas. 116 lordship's sword also dis played the massive diamond, one of the largest in the world, weighing 96 carats, and valued at 1:20,000. It is well known that Lord Francis Egeiton, on the death of his father, the late Duke of Sutherland, succeeded to the princely possessions of the Duke of Bridgewater. It is in contemplation to revive the honours, and it is con fidently anticipated that Lord Francis Egerton will shortly be summoned to the house of peers, by the style and title of Duke of Bridgewater.— Glote. EXTRAORDINARY HONOUR.—Once, in his travels in the United States, King Louis Philippe acted as a surgeon to an Indian chief, whom he bled in his wigwam, with suc h s u c cess that the tribe bestowed a high, though not very covetable honour. upcn the white stranger.—" It st as customary in this tribe, that the whole family, however illustrious, should sleep upon one spacious mat, the rela aetdinag e n nc according to In ximity, rank, age, rela tions s o ther acknowledge ment Of the services rendered by the duke t o t h e grand father of the chief's family, he was permitted t o p ass th e beingdi a sc li discriminating night upon the family mat between the grandmother and grand aunt, the highest honour ever conferred by that tribe upon an individual of any age or colour." KING LOUIS PHILIPPE AT CUELTENRAM.—Some thirty years ago his Majesty the King of the French, then Duke d'Orlesns, was, with the other members of the royal family of France. a resident of Cheltenham, occu pying the present Cambray Pavilion. At that time his royal highness entered familiarly into the society of the place, visiting and being visited by many of our then re sidents, who were uniformly received by him with marked courtesy, when, as the invited guests of Louis XVII. they appeared at the weekly breakfasts given by the exiled monarch, to those whom he honoured with his friendship and acquaintance. The Duke d'Orleans also patronised most of the public amusements of the day, and was, with his uncle , the Count d'Artois, a frequent attendant at the bazaar sale‘, when these took place at the old Assembly Rooms—the premises now occupied as Messrs. Humphris's ironmongery stores, in the High street, but thirty years ago, one of the fashionable loun ges of Cheltenham. We well remember being there one day when their royal highnesses were present, and attracted considerable notice; the peculiarity of their costume—the little cocked-hat and long queu generally arresting the immediate attention of strangers. On this occision, a pair of plated telescope candlesticks were put up for sale—the fluent auctioneer expatiating, according to custom, upon their excellent quality and manufacture. There were several bidders—the Count d'Artois was one; and, out-bidding his opponents, the lot was knocked down to him for ten shillings! Handing over payment in the silver tokens of those days, his royal highness received his purchase from the porter, and putting a candlestick in each pocket, walked leisurely away, apparently well pleased with his b :rgain.—Cheltenham Looker On. AFFABILITY OF LOUIS PuILIPPEC.—When the address of the London Corporation was presented to Louis Philippe, his Majesty entered into familiar conversation with the mem bers of the deputation. Speaking to the Lord Mayor his Majesty said, •` I well remember your father. Mr. Mag nay ; I had the happiness of seeing him in the Egyptian Hall of the Mansion-house, when he filled the high situa tion which you now hold. I remember him with much pleasure, and the hospitable manner in which he received me. The Lord Mayor, in acknowledging the compliment with which his Majesty honoured him, said he hoped his Majesty would be graciously pleased to visit the citizens of London, either at the Mansion-house, or at the Guild hall, before his departure. " 1 assure you," replied the King, " that if I had time, etiquette should not interfere with my hearty wish, but my time is limited. I should wish very much to visit Guild-hall, the Mansion-house, and Fishmongers' Hall." His Majesty then (still ad dressing the Lord Mayor) said he hoped his lordship would do him the honour to sit for his portrait, which he desired to hang among his pictures at Versailles, to commemorate this, to him, most interesting occasion. The Lnrd Mayor having expressed his gratification at hearing his Majesty express himself so cordially about places of such favourite resort to his fellow citizens, the King said, laughing,— .! Why Magnay, I know all the Wards in the City of Lon don as well as you know them." The King then recog nized the Recorder, and shaking hands with him said, " Alt ! Mr. Law, lam harpy to see you. I well knew Mr. Thomas Law, an uncle of yours, in America. He was married to a grand-daughter of General Washington. Some amusement was caused by a mistake which the King made when Sir C. S. Hunter was presented to him. " Ah, Sir Peter Laurie," cried his Majesty, " I am happy to see you, I have heard and read a good deal about you." He afterwards observed to Sir Claudius Hunter that he remembered to have seen him abroad. On Sir Peter Laurie being presented, his Majesty said, " Ala I ._ Sir Pe ter, you are an old acquaintance of mine. I remember dining with you at Fishmongers' Hall many years ago. It is a great pleasure to me to meet you again." Immedi ately afterwards, his Majesty observing Mr. Moon, the mover of the address, took him by the hand and said, " Ali, Mr. Moon, I know you perfectly. I have heard of your encouragement of the arts, and I have derived great pleasure from the examination of your admirablsengra rings. I find too that you have an excellent way of mak ing speeches." The King probably alluded to the obser vations made by Mr. Moon in proposing the address in the Court of Common Council on Thursday week. UNIVERSITY 4- CLERICAL NEWS. OXFORD.

SUDDEN DEATH.—A commercial traveller of the name of Sammell, died on Tuesday last, whilst seated in the Haverfordwest coach. He had transacted business during the day in apparently good health, and was only twenty six years of age.

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.—On the 1611 i nstant, an inquest was held at Alpraharn on view of the body of Elizabeth Astbury, a married woman, aged 39, who was killed by the early train from Crewe, on the previous Tuesday. She was a native of Stoke, and had been to visit her friends at Manchester, which she left, in de pressed spirits on the previous day. She was found dead, and the body dreadfully mutilated, on the rails at Choi mondeston, by an engimer of the Grand Junction Com pany. The jury rerun ed a verdict of •' accidental death," and imposed a nominal deorla-nd on the train. DEATH OF A POACHER —On Sunday week a notorious poacher, of the name of Joseph Henshall, aged 25, was killed by the accidental discharge of his gun whilst poach ing at Northen Etchells, in Cheshire. The family of deceased have suffered considerably in consequence of offending against the game laws, a brother of deceased's having been hanged at Chester about fifteen years azo for an attack on one of Lord Stamford's game-keepers at Dunham Massey. It appeared from the evidence that none of deceased's family were in the habit of attending a place of worship. APPALLING ACCIDENT.—On Thursday, a man named Hardford, bring engaged in brewing for a gentleman in Slone-street, London, aid in the act of pouring some boiling liquor from he copper into the mash-tub, the stand on which the tub stood suddenly broke down, and the tub, which contained between 80 and 90 gallons of boiling liquor, was precipitated forward, knocking the untoru nate man down, and the principal portion of the liquor flowing over the lower part of the unfortunate man's body, scalded him in so shocking a manner, that on re moving his clothes, large pieces of flesh rolled off A st-is tance was immediately rendered, and he was removed in a deplorable condition, and enduring excruciating suffer ings, to the hospital. DEATH FROM DRINKING.—On Thursday Mr.Wakley, the London coroner, held an inquest on the body of a lady who had been found dead in her house at Hammersmith, where she lived by herself. Her husband, a su. von, said, that soon after their marriage be had found her dreadfully addicted to drinking, and they had in consequence sepa-. rated. A girl, who had been her only attendant for some time, said she was constantly drinking spirita, and would send out for a quartern perhaps a dozen times a day ! The coroner observed, that the husband should have put her under restraint, as the unfortunate woman was tvi dentt>- acrabged. 'Fho verdict was, " Died from CALC3* sive drinking of ardent spirits." COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—Another colliery rxplosion, but happily without loss of life, took place at Cox Lodge, near Newcastle, yesterday week, where the underground workings arc extensive. Two shifters had gone in to a part of the mine called the " gold." with a naked candle, to see if the place was safe for the hewers; the g,s fired by the candle, and the shock of the explosion was felt throughout the mine. Several of the men made their escape. One of them was much burnt, but not di,abled, and reached the shaft in safety. Others were injured by being thrown down, and one had his thigh bone broken. Two of the men were in the mine two hours before they could be extricated, and withstood the killing effect of "choke-damp." Two, Collins and Brown, (the latter "deputy" of the workmen) were so dangerously injur d, that it is apprehended neither of them will survive. It is the third time the pit has fired within a month, and on every occasion with fatal or serious injury to a few. IMPORTANT DECISION AT THE WESTMINSTER RE GISTRATION COURT.—On Saturday, Mr. Moylan, the revising barrister, decided a case upon which no less than 400 claims depended. It appeared that in the parishes of St. Margaret and St. John, Westminster, many of the houses are farmed, or, in other words, that the landlord is rated, and the occupiers are charged in their rent for the taxes. These occupiers have claimed to be rated, but the overseers have refused to do so, because it would give them a settlement in the parish. Mr. Rogers, the vestry clerk, however, entered their names in the rates bock in red ink, under the name of " owner," which is the second column, instead of that of the first, as " occupier." This he said was not intended to be a rating, but merely as a note that they had made a claim to be rated. The revis ing barrister, however, was of opinion that it was a rating, and allowed the claim upon the decision of which so many votes depended. DISSENTERS' DIFFERENCES.--OD Sunday last, a some ' what novel scene took place at the Westgate Chapel, in Wakefield. It appears that about six months ago, a few ' of the trustees of that place of worship, from which the major part of them had absented themselves for the last four or five years, gave the minister of the chapel notice to leave. This was opposed to the wishes of the congre gation, who entertained the highest respect for their pastor, and were, therefore, anxious for him to continue amolig them. The notice expired on Sunday week, and on ?hit day a paper seas placed on the doors of the chapel, inti mating that it would be closed on the following Sunday. On the congregation assembling on Sunday morning last, they found the gates of the chapel-yard and the doors of the chapel locked. The keys were demanded of one of the trustees, who had them in his possession, but he re fused to give them up. In consequence of this refusal the doors were broken open, and the service took place in the morning and evening as usual.—Doncaster Chronicle, MR. CAMPBELL'S ALLEGED LUNACY.—The verdict has startled the public. It is, we believe, the first time in such cases that the jury have decided in the teeth of every opinion, medical, or non-medical, pronounced; yet we are not disinclined, from the review of the evidence as it has been placed before us, to think the verdict a proper one. That the evidence was sufficient to establish tolera ble proof of insanity on some former day, we are by no means disposed to dispute. But this is the most we can concede. As the conduct of Mr. Campbell approached the period of the inquiry, the weaker were the sympt, ms of insanity deposed to. And when we consider, on the one side, the harmless eccentricities into which a sensi'ive nature, and rather imaginative mind, necessarily impel their possessor; and, on the other, the tendency by habit and interest of one in Dr. Allen's position, to see madness in every dtiviation, from that certain jog -trot course, within whose narrow limits he is accustomed to confine the existent - of sanity, we cannot but conclude that the jury did well to give full force to the good sense of Mr. Campbell's exposition, and to deride that he was scarcely less fit for society than the rest of the foolish and eccentric people who compose its moiety.—Medical JEWEL ROBBERY.—On Wednesday, a fashionanly dressed young man was brought before the Brighton ma gistrates, charged with attempting ro a to steal t . 27 diamond brooches brooches valued respectively at £ 2 .) pins value £lB and £l6. The prisonere m e i n ,, t o t e r d ed ro Mr. bo Cochrane's shop, in that to wn, and said b them for the Countess Rivolski, staying at the York Ho tel, Mr. Cochrane and he w ent in a fly to the Y or k. They entered a sitting-room on the first flo or , p r isoner knocked at the door of an adjoining appeared to listen, and then went in. In a few minutes he returned, said the Countess was unwell, and in bed, and that she wished bim to send in the articles for inspec tion. Mr. Cochrane, however, refused to part vri!ti the jewels, whereupon the prisoner again entered the cham ber, and on returning the second time, said, the Countess would not detain them a minute, as she merely wished to see whether the butterfly-brooch was the same that she had seen in the window. Seeing Mr. Cochrane hesitate, he told him he was sure he could get £220 for the butter fly, but that, in that case, Mr. Cochrane must make him a present.
