TREMENDOUS HURRICANE.—We have been favoured ith the following extract from a letter received by Mr. E. Turner, M.P. for Truro, from his son, Mr. Charles Walsingham Turner, Her Britannic Majesty's Consul at Carthagena, dated October 2'3 :—" On the morning of the 21st instant a most awful catastrophe occurred here, arts, has been despa es to Madrid our o'clock in the morning most vivic came on, with tremendous thunder—such 1 htning as was never seen at Carthagena within the memory of man. I left my bed, and proceeded to the window, where I had not been five minutes before I heard a great rushing of wind proceeding from the east, and I observed also a water-spout, which I no sooner saw than it burst, carry ing with it into the air five large felucca boats, of 40 to 50 tons each, which fell into the water again, upside down, and of course sank, with the poor sailors on board, 15 of whom were drowned. It then proceeded in a north-west direction, unroofing houses, carrying off timber trees, and even rocks of great weight. This morning, two poor fellows, sailors. who belonged to one of the vessels, were found dead about a league from Carthagena, having been carried off and dropped by the whirlwind. On the moll; were thrown huge stones, houses were demolished, and the roof of the Prisichi, where the convicts are confined, :vas completely carried away. You may well imagine the -rending cries of the poor mariners-0 Dios mio. ,„ Strange, however, as it may seem, an English brig was at anchor within fifty yards of the spot where the waterspout burst, and sustained no damage whatever. I have just been informed that two of the feluchas had the day before brought 800 prisoners for political offences from lona. Had I not been an eye-witness of the awful visi tation, I could not have believed it."—West Briton. THE WINE TRADE So it appears at length that the Portuguese Tariff ques tion is " settled"—that is, that all hope of a settlement on a new and more satisfactory basis than now exists is given up, and authoritatively denounced by the English government - The wine merchants in London memorialized the Board of Trade, on the disadvantages they laboured under from the existing uncertainty ; and the official reply, to gether with the subsequent correspondence, which we subjoin, will explain the determination which has been come to:— " Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, Whitehall, 24th Nov., 1843. " Gentlemen,—With reference to the memorial from the wine trade of the 3d instant, I am directed by the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade to acquaint you, for the information of the memorialists, that the negotiations with Portugal, which were interrupted in April last, have, strictly speaking, not been revived. That since the arrival of the Duke of Palmella in this country, his excellency has tendered to her Majesty's go vernment statements intended to show that the British propositions had been previously to the interruption or breaking off of the communications in April last, accepted in their substance by the Portuguese government. That her Majesty's government are clearly of opinion, upon an examination of these statements, that the Duke of Pal mella is in error in that supposition, and that this convic tion has been officially communicated to the Duke of Palmella.

" My Lord,—We crave v ,,,, 5• LordAhin'e rpforenre to -...ut :at we t,,,u the honour of transmitting on the Ist inst., since which date we bare received a communication from the Board of Trade, stating that the Dpke of Pal mella was in error in supposing that the statements sub mitted by him showed that the British propositions had been virtually accented by the Portuguese government. We presume we may infer from this communication that her Majesty's government have given up all intention of carrying out the treaty with Portugal, in which case a public announcement by her Majesty's government to that effect would be of the greatest benefit to the trade between the two countries, by satisfying the public mind that no reduction of duties on either side is to he looked for, and thus putting an end to the uncertainty which has so long paralysed that trade. We, therefore, respectfully beg the favour of your Lordship to make such an announcement through any channel most convenient; an answer to this effect to the present application would, no doubt, perfectly answer the purpose intended. " We trust that the cruel position in which we have been so long placed, and the conviction that nothing short of what we have taken the liberty to request from your Lordship can restore the trade to its usual channel, and tend to repair the injury we have suffered, will plead our excuse for being so urgent upon this point.

" Foreign-office, November 29, 1843. " Gentlemen,—l am directed by the Earl of Aberdeen to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday's date, in which you refer to a recent communication made to you by the Board of Trade, relative to the discussions which have lately taken place between her Majesty's go vernment and the Duke of Palmella, on the subject of the _ _ mutual regulation of duties between Great Britain and Portagal, and you express your conviction that if her Majesty's government have given up all hope of coming to an understanding on these points with Portugal, a public announcement to that effect would be highly beneficial to the trade between the two countries. " I am accordingly directed to state to you that in con sequence of the communications which have recently passed on these matters between the Board of Trade and this office, Lord Aberdeen sees no hope of coming to an understanding with the Portuguese government, and that hie Lordship, therefore, considers the discussions on the snblect of a mutual reduction of duties to be finally ter minated.

TRH ABORIGINAL AMERICAN INDIANS AND THE MAYOR OF MANCHESTER.—On Wednesday morning the Indians attended in the Treasurer's-room, Town-hall, to wait on the M ayor , w h o rece i ved them with great cordi ality, and presented each of the chiefs with a bronze medal of Dr. Dalton, which they immediately suspended round their necks by a bright red riband. The Mayor, after a few words of welcome, and shaking hands with all the party, said he had pleasure in presenting the two chiefs with these medals, rep resent i ng one of our great men of science. This was conveyed to the Indians in the nearest approximation which their limited information and language afford ; and we believe it was explained to them, that " the great peace-chief of M anc h es t er gave them, as a mark of friendship, the medals representing one of our greatest medicines, or mystery-men, whose re semblance would be recognised by any of the pale-faces who might come among their distant wigwams years hence." They appeared much pleased, especially with the information that Dr. Dalton was a great mystery man, as they have a high veneration for whatever is greatly wise and intelligent, and mystery is with them a synonyrne for science. The Indians were then conducted into the large room of the Toun•hall, which seemed by its large dimensions to surprise them ; hut their attention was at once attracted to Signor Aglio's fresco of the land ing of Sebastian Cabot on the shores of America; wherein that voyager is represented as commencing a traffic for territory with the Indians, some bales of cloth being un rolled to tempt the red men. The indignation of the party was strongly excited, not at the foreign intruders, hut at the chief of the Indians, who, they said, sold their hunting grounds, and cheated them out of their territory. They ridiculed the representation by the aritst of the In dians as almost naked ; and several other improprieties they detected with keen glances. Subsequently the In dians entered the council-room during the deliberations of the council, and took a seat at the lower end. After looking awhile at t: e council of the pale-faces, and doubt less wondering how they could deliberate without a coun cil fire in the centre, and without the calumet, which forms so important a part of their own grave councils, I both amongst themselves and with the Americans, they retired with the same quiet, self-respectful gravity, which they preserve under all the circumstances of the many strange scenes they witness.—Mancheder Guardian. s towards Great Britain these is kjects the intrigues of the t have b e Fres :ected, particularly in at will recommend a Texas—certainly annexa- tlon, and also the taking possession of the American por tion of the Oregon territory. The refusal of the English government to open negotiations for a new commercial treaty, coupled with these intrigues in Texas and Oregon, have offended the United States government, and a posi tion will be assumed that will astonish moderate men of all nations. On the question of Texas and Oregon, we have no doubt there will be a great excitement in Con gress, and perchance a new division of parties throughout the country. No one can predict the result." NEW SOUTH WALES Papers from Sydney, with very interesting intelligence, came to hand late on Thursday ; and are about one month later in date than those previously received, being to the 30th of July. The attention of the colonists had been turned to some recent experiments to the manufac ture of tallow, and the excess of stock would, it is stated. '1 future applied to this purpose. The export of this narket, with provisions suitable for alluded to, as a branch of industry which may revive the d in Por esed condition of the country Philip and South Australia the trial had been made with equal succes;, and high hopes are entertained profits of these new branches of business. The return of the quarter's revenue was discouraging, a considerable falling off having occurred in the principal items of receipt It was strongly suspected that the de cline of revenue from spirits and tobacco was in no small degree owing to the increase of smuggling. The land fund showed a melancholy appearance. The whole amount received in the quarter for country lands and town allotments sold was the beggarly amount of £666, or nearly 30 per cent. below the proceeds of the corres ponding quarter of last year. The decrease in the fees on title deeds was 304- per cent., whilst the demand for licenses to occupy crown lands had so rapidly fallen of that their produce was less than last year by the very large proportion of ill per cent.

She had on board a regiment of British troops, numbering, with their wives and children, 360, all of whom were saved.--. New York paper. THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND THE SABBATH.— f The Minister of Marine has addressed a circular to all the maritime prefects, desiring that no workman may in uture be employed oc Sundays in the government dock yards, except in cases of absolute necessity. The motives assigned by the minister are—first, that men who do not repose on the Sunday do not work with energy on the other days of Me week, and, consequently, that it is not profitable to the state to have labour performed on the Sabbath ; and, secondly, that it is necessary for the state to promote the religious observance of Sunday among the labouring classes. GERMAN LEAGUE DUTY ON IRON.—Extract of a letter from Germany, dated 21st November, 1843 :—"The duty question on iron will not be regulated before Decem ber, as the meeting at Berlin has separated, and will not meet again until the middle of December, when their de liberations will be finally closed. It appears that prior to their separation they agreed►to place a duty on pig iron, metal, &c„ of £1 sterling per ton, and upon bar iron an increase of duty of 305., making £4 10s. per ton ; and this will of a certainty come into effect, unless strong representations are made by the English and Belgian governments, and steps taken to prevent this imprudent resolve. In no case will the duty be enforced as early as the Ist of January, 1844, but it will be February or March, or even April, as our people require time for settling their affairs. THE NESTORIAN MASSACRE.—In consequence of the great anxiety felt by the friends of missions to learn more definitely the state of things among the Nestorians, we have made application to the Missionary Rooms at Bos ton for the very latest intelligence received from the east. In answer to this inquiry, we learn that the facts already published in our paper, so far as they describe the slaughter and overthrow of the mountain Nestorians, are substantially confirmed by the letters of Dr. Grant. Under the date of July 28, he says that " a blow has been struck, from which it is impossible that the Nes torians can recove r ; an d to a l l appearance this is but the beginning of greater cal am i t i es ." T he work of destruc tion was going forward, and D r . G rant h a d no h ope o f its ceasing till th i s people a re fi na ll y crushed, and their independence is gone. Dr. Grant reached Mosul on the 1-Ith of July. He left Asheta (the mission station) just in season to escape the storm which burst upon that part of the Nestorian country. He had not even time to hid the patriarch farewell. Some of the publications in this country represent the patriarch as among the slain ; we are happy to say that this is not true. At the latest dates he was at Mosul under the protection of the British con sul. In the midst of perils by sword and perils from false brethren, the Nestorian Christians and our mis sionaries should be made the subject of special prayer in the churches. We trust that they will be thus remem bered.—New York Observer. A STRANGE STORY.—The New York Courier and Inquirer says, that from recent dates of the Royal Ga zette and Guiana Times we have obtained some informa tion beautifully illustrative of the boasted magnanimity of British forces in protecting the poor African from his oppressors. We give the statement of the facts from English authority, and leave our readers to judge how appropriate is the boast, that all men, once under the shadow of the English flag, are free. With facts like these staring them in the face, how England has the as surance to prate to us about our slaves, evinces a degree terly beyond our powers to conceive.

BELFAST.—A rumour has been in circulation in town, for some days past, that Mr. Emerson Tennent is about to obtain a lucrative appointment in India, and that he will, in consequence, resign his seat for Belfast.—Northern Whig. The son of Judge Perrin is engaged as one of the Coun sel for Mr. O'Connell and his associates. This young gentleman was overlooked in the first instance, but the day after his father differed from the other Judges on the caption point he received a retaining fee of £5O.

SUDDEN DEATH OF Mg.

THE MASSACRE IN TIPPERARY—DEATH OF ME, WALLER.—WhiIst the public was thankfully enjoying the prospect that Mr. Waller's restoration to health might frustrate the accursed design of the assassins—the unex pected intelligence of his death arrived. It was sudden, and, at the period of its occurrence. unforeseen ; but, from the injuries he had sustained, it was almost inevitable. He died at two o'clock on the morning of the 29th ult, His deer ' :ease was precedes, ..,), sickness of the stomach, which closed existence. It is said that his scalp could be lifted like a nightcap. Several accounts have reached town that the wounds of the faithful butler (Larkin) begin to assume an unfavourable appearance.—Dublin Mail. :: THE REPEAL AGITATION.—The usual weekly meet ing of the Repeal Association was held on Monday, in the Conciliation-hall, Mr. Patrick Curtis, of Waterford, in the chair. There was a tolerably large attendance, perhaps about 2,500, more than half of whom were women. Mr. O'Connell, who took his seat under his own portrait, which now decorates the walls of the Conciliation-hall, looked in better health than of late. The principal busi ness of the day was a debate on the relative merits of federalism and repeal, the former being advocated by the Rev. Mr. O'Malley, and the latter by the untried Dan. Various sums of money were handed in by Mr. O'Connell, including £1 from the Rev. J. E. Giles, Baptist minister. The rent appears to be falling rapidly. It was announced at £636 for the past week. MONEY VALUE OF AN ATTORNEY.—Mr. Pierce Ma bony, attorney for one of the defendants in the Irish state prosecutions, being offended at some slight put upon him —and through him, upon the profession—by Mr. Brews ter, the barrister, appeals to the law association, where, however, he gets no further redress than a sly hint from one of the members about an appeal to powder. The Times thus speculates upon the possible contingencies of Mr. Mahony falling by the barrister's fire :—" As a mat ter of scientific search, and of personal interest, we should be almost equally interested to see what his exe cutors would charge for him in their bill of costs. ' Item. —To senior partner shot by Mr. Brewster, 13s. 4d.' The idea is painful; but if the money value of an Irish solici tor is to be so determined, the profession could, we think, spare few of its members with less mischief than this Mr. Pierce Mahony." FRENCHMEN IN IRELAND.—A paragraph under the above head, which appears in the last number of the Far ma►ragh Reporter, announces a piece of intelligence bor dering rather more on romance than reality. It runs as follows : " The persons who attended the late repeal meetings throughout Ireland, in the character of French emissaries, who created no little fear amongst the revolu lutionists, were neither more nor less than officers of the London police, sent over to Ireland for the purpose of watching the proceedings, and noting the seditious ex pressions of the leaders of the movement. They were all (40 in number) men of first-rate abilities, well acquainted with the continental languages and countries, and in every way q lalified to pass for what they seemed to be—the de legates from the discontented part of the French nation, which yet looks forward to the restoration of Henry V. It is said that those gentlemen can prove certain offer from the Repealers, which will substantiate the assertion of the Attorney-General, that he would prove the exis— tence of a wicked and dangerous conspiracy. If all this be true, it is a master stroke of the Government, worthy of the days of Fondle or Savary." THE MILITARY ORDERED OUT OF THE CHAPEL—On Sunday last an occurrence took place in this town (Castle which has created a great sensation among all classes, and is it ery to uc io quiry. It appears that a small party of the 90 regiment, stationed there, attended chapel as usual, but after some portion of the service had been performed, the officiat ing priest (the ltev. Mr. Hayden) introduced the name of M r. O'Connell in a prayer for his escape from his enemies ! The observations of the priest were of so marked a nature during the service, and the allusions to the executive so clear as not to be misunderstood. Ensign Wyvill, in command of the party, instantly and properly ordered the men out of the chapel, and marched them direct to their barracks. The movement of the priest was followed up after mass by the delivery of a speech in the chapel yard. After reading Mr. 0' Connell's address from a news paper, he commented in strong language on the conduct of the officer, which, being of so abusive a nature, cannot fail to reach the proper quarter, as Captain Roberts R.M., it is said, was a witness of the conduct of this meek dis ciple of the apostles !—Kilkenny Moderator.—Several oc currences similar to this have taken place in various parts of Ireland. AN IRISH SPECIAL COMMISSION.—O'ConneII, at once bowing to the Judges, and saluting Baron Pennefather with the most marked and respectful courtesy (which he cordially returned), apologised for not having appeared in a more professional costume, and craved permission to refresh himself in court. A bowl of milk and some bread and meat were sent in to him, and while at either side of him a young barrister filled each ear with all that had been done, and how the case of the accused stood, O'Con nell gratified his appetite for breakfast with evident relish after his long morning drive. 'Twas rather a contrast— the big, massive agitator slabbering his meal in a Court house, and the graceful aristocratic Mr. Doherty talking in the most refined manner to the jury. What led to the enmity betwen O'Connell and Mr. Doherty is not pub licly known, but they on that day appeared to be enemies with no ordinary hatred and aniro , sity. As the Solicitor- General laid down a doctrine of law, O'Connell, with a marked contempt, cried out in the middle of his break fast, " That's not law." The Bench was appealed to, and the point ruled with O'Connell, who, as the pugilists say, " drew first blood." The Solicitor- General resumed his statement, but he had not gone much further, when O'Connell jumped up—" The crown cannot make such a statement as that—it has no right to put insuch evidence to the jury"—and again the Bench decided with O'Con nell—lreland and its Rulers since 1829. SEIZURE OF A QUANTITY OF ARMS.—Mr. O'Connor, superintendent of the detective force, having received in formation that there was a cask on board the Duchess of Kent steamer, which was returned in the manifest as "empty," and only 2s. charged on its frieght, and that the cask was, in reality, very weighty, proceeded to the vessel, and very soon after his arrival there a man named David Wilson crime to demand the cask for Mr. Rounds, paper-stainer, of Mary-street, to whom the cask was directed. He paid the freight, and was proceeding to re move it, when Mr. O'Connor asked him did he know Mr. Rounds, and he said be did not, but that a gentleman had sent him for the cask. tie said he did not know the gentleman. Mr. O'Connor then had him arrested, and ordered the cask to be removed to the Metropolitan Police-office, Lower Castle-yard, where it was broken open, and an extraordinary discovery was made, for there was found in it the following arms :—Twelve pike-heads, upwards of 14 inches long; twelve muskets, twelve cut lasses, six horse pistols, and six pair of handcuffs. Wilson is detained in custody.— [The foregoing pare j graph. which appeared in the Saunders of this morning,Mreated (as it was well calculated to do) a considerable deal of alarm in the city. The matter was, however, this day investigated at the Henry-street police-office, and, after a full and careful inquiry, it appeared to the satisfaction of the magistrates that the transaction was perfectly innocent and harmless. It was clearly proved that the imported arms were for the use of a vessel about to sail for the coast of Africa, and that the pikes particularly were more calculated for the sea than the land service. being nothing more nor less than the usual boarding-pikes.]—Dublin Mail of Friday. THE GREAT NATIONAL CIIIiSS MATCH.--It our pleasing office to announce, that in this match for• 21 games for 200 sovereigns, our countryman, Mr. Howard Staunton, has gained the first five, and one drawn. The contest is taking place in the Paris Chess Club, in an arena of 14 feet square, admitting only the players and their umpires, Lieutenant Harry Wilson on the side of Mr. Staunton, and Monsieur L'crivain on the part of St. Amant. The spectators are all amateurs, and the silence they maintain is quite beyond praise ; and when under the feelings of defeat propriety is still more complimentary to the French nation. IMPORTANT MEETING.—On Monday a meeting was held at Sunderland of the shipowners of that port and of the neighbouring towns of Newcastle, Shields, St oc kt on , &c. The more immediate subject of consideration w as a plan to be de. ised of delivering colliers by their own crews in the port of London, and to consider the depressed state of shipping. This meeting, it appeared, was mere l y a pre liminary one, to which deputations from the neighbouring ports had been invited, and its object was not so much to settle anything definitely, as to consult and arrange on the best measures to be adopted, which afterwards could be submitted to general meetings of the shipowners of the different ports, which might be afterwards called, and by whom these measures might be rejected or adopted. THE COURT. ROYAL PROGRESS TO DRAYTON MANOR On Wednesday morning the Queen and Prince Albert left Windsor on a visit to Sir Robert Peel at Drayton Manor. It was about five minutes past nine o'clock when her Majesty, accompanied by Prince Albert, stepped into her carriage, and by this time a considerable number of the inhabitants of 'Windsor had collected in the precincts of the castle, and in the streets of Windsor, to witness the departure of the Royal party. The cortege consisted of three travelling carriages, with outriders in the royal livery. The first carriage was drawn by four horses, and was occupied by the Queen and Prince Albert, who were escorted by a detachment of the Life Guards. The royal suite in attendance on her Majesty and her illus trious consort followed in two carriages and four. Her Majesty reached Uxbridge about 10 minutes to 10 o'clock. The horses being changed and the escort relieved, the Royal cortege drove off amidst the acclamations of the multitude. It was near eleven o'clock when the Queen and the Prince reached the Watford station, the distance from Windsor (about 22 miles) having been gone over in some minutes less than two hours. At the station the arrange ments made to receive her Majesty were on a very splen did scale, considering the shortness of the notice, and the few facilities offered by the place itself. Her Majesty wore a black velvet pelisse, and an open work straw bonnet with black trimmings. Both her Ma jesty and the Prince looked remarkably well. The special train which wakto convey the Royal visi tors to Tamworth had previously arrived from London, whole of the suite had alighted, the Royal carriages were wheeled round to the back of the station, where they were placed upon trucks and attached to the train. This occupied some time, so that her Majesty and suite had to wait in the room provided for the purpose for some time. By twenty minutes past eleven these arrangements were completed, and the state carriage was drawn up opposite the door of the waiting-room. ' At twenty-two minutes past eleven her Majesty, ac companied by the Prince, entered the carriage, amidst the most lively demonstrations of affection and loyalty from the multitudes assembled on the bridge above and around the station below, as well as from an assemblage of ladies who were accommodated with an advantageous position on the opposite side. At twenty-five minutes past eleven the train started. and the cheering was most enthusiastic, being prolonged until after her Majesty had proceeded some distance. At Hampton, the place of junction with the Birming ham and Derby line, multitudes had collected. The Royal Standard floated from the height of the station, and also waved from the top of an engine, which was there in waiting to take the train on to Tamworth. At this point the directors of the Derby and Birmingham Railway, Sir 0. Mosley, Mr. Lestom, and other gentle men, jo'ned the train, to accompany her Majesty on their line as far as Tamworth. As this was the point at which the train left the Birmingham line, it may be as well to observe that her Majesty expressed herself highly grati fied with all the preparations that had been made for her accommodation by the directors of the London and Bir mingham Railway company. The distance from Hampton to Tamworth is as nearly as possible 15 miles; that distance was accomplished in 21 minutes, the train arriving at Tamworth station at 14 minutes to 3 o'clock. At the Tamworth station Sir Robert Peel was in readi ness to receive her Majesty and her Royal Consort, who immediately proceeded, followed by their suite, down the steps of the station to the carriages which were in readi ness. They did not wait to have the royal carriages de tached from the trucks, the distance being so short to Drayton Manor. Here an escort of the Staffordshire Yeomanry were in waiting to escort her Majesty on to Drayton. Sir Robert Peel accompanied the Royal party on horseback. From Tamworth to Drayton Manor the scene was ex tremely splendid. The new line of road from the station to the town, commonly called the Clarence-terrace, was beautifully decorated with galleries and festoons oeflow ers. On the approach to the town the scene was exceedingly beautiful. At a splendid arch at the end of the Clarence road, the corporation, through the mayor, according to ancient custom, presented the mace and other insignia of office. They also delivered, in the name of the corpora tion, addresses, which her :Majesty and Prince Albert were graciously pleased to receive. The route to Drayton 11lanor, distant about three miles from the station, was performed in less than half an hour. The road through Bonehill and along to Drayton was thronged with people of all classes, who gave her Majesty a most enthusiastic reception. The Royal party arrived at Drayton Manor at a quarter to four o' clock. It is a remarkable fact, that although her Majesty's pro gresses have usually been at a season of the year when bad weather may be expected, she has always been either so fortunate, or so favoured, as to have fine days of sun shine and balmy breezes in place of lowering clouds or cutting winds, or, worse than all, November rain. On the present occasion the weather was most auspicious throughout the journey. On her Majesty's arrival at Drayton Manor she was re ceived at the entrance of the mansion by Lady Peel, and was immediately attended to her private apartments, where her Majesty and the Prince partook at lunch. Dinner was served precisely at eight o'clock, and covers were laid for 21. Her Majesty, in proceeding to the dining-room, took the arm of Sir Robert Peel. Prince Albert escorted Lady Peel. The Duke of Rutland escorted the Duchess of Bu,cleuch. 1 - lel;;;;3‘..oty or tne dinner table next the fireplace, Prince Albert on the right of her Majesty, Sir Robert Peel on her Majesty's left, and Lady Peel on the right of the Prince. Earl Talbot sat next to Lsdy Peel, and the Duchess of Buccleuch next Sir Robert Peel. The Duke of Rutland sat on the left of the Duchess of Buccleuch, and Mr. Robert Peel, and eldest son of the Prime Minister, F at next to the Duke of Rutland. On the other side of the table, immediately opposite the Queen. sat the Duke of Buccleuch, and on his right sat Lady Portman. The Duke of Wellington was on the left of the Duke of •Buccleuch, and on his left sat the Earl of Jersey. The other guests at the Royal table were Archdeacon Lonsdale, the Bishop of Lichfield elect (who said grace), the Hon. Miss Paget, General Wemyss, Colonel Bou verie, Mr. Anson, the Mayor of Tamworth (Mr. Bramall), Lieutenant-Colapel Monckton, and John Shaw Manly, Esq., the HighlTheriff of the county. Her Majesty wore at the dinner a rich broche pink silk and satin dress with rich lace, adorned with a profusion of diamonds and emeralds. Her Majesty also wore the in signia of the Order of the Garter in diamonds and eme ralds. Her head-dress was also of diamonds and eme ralds. Lady Peel wore a dress of pale blue satin, with white lace. Her ornaments were of diamonds and pearls. After dinner her Majesty retired to the Library, in which room, as well as in the adjoining rooms, are many of the chefs-d' teuvres of modern art In painting and sculpture, which her Majesty spent some time in admir ing. Her Majesty retired to rest shortly after eleven o'clock The Duke of Wellington was to have arrived early in the afternoon, so as to be present at the reception of Her Majesty at Drayton, but his Grace did not arrive at the Tamworth station until long after the Queen, having been detained in town at the marriage of the Earl of March to Miss Greuille, at Lord Francis Egerton's, in Belgrave square. A delay at the station, owing to some misunder standing about the Duke's horses, prevented his arriving at Drayton until nearly the dinner hour. His Grace was walking in the grounds at Drayton as early as half-past seven the next morning. Wednesday morning her Majesty breakfasted at eight precisely in her own private apartment. At half-past nine Prince Albert, attended by General Wemyss, Colonel Bouverie, and Mr. Anson, started from Drayton Manor for the Tamworth station, in order to proceed to Birmingham, for the purpose of inspecting some of the most remarkable features of that great manufacturing town. He went in Sir Robert Peel's own open carriage to the station, without an escort, and accompanied by Sir Robert Peel as far as the station at Tamworth. On the way his Royal Highness passed through the Church at Tamworth, where he was attended by the Vicar of Taroworth. At 11 o'clock her Majesty went out to walk, accompa nied by Lady Peel, the Duchess of Buccleuch, and Miss Paget. Her Majesty walked on the terrace, and after wards visited Lady Peel's flower garden, and the farmyard and dairy. Her Majesty remained, apparently much en joying the fine weather, until nearly 12 o'clock. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager arrived on Wednes day at the Tomworth station at three o'clock, by a special train, accompanied by Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, Earl Howe, and the Countess of Brownlow. Sir Robert Peel left Drayton soon after two o'clock, and proceeded to the Tamworth station, where he received Her Ma jesty the Queen Dowager, who proceeded, accompanied by the Premier and her suite, and escorted by the Staf fordshire Yeomanry immediately to Drayton Manor. In the afternoon a dinner took place in the Town-hall, Tamworth, to commemorate the occasion of her majesty's visit. The mayor, corporation, and principal inhabitants were present. It may not be uninteresting to the general reader to state that this is the first visit of a reigning sovereign to Tamworth and its neighbourhood since the days of Queen Elizabeth. In fact, Queen Victoria, with the exception of Elizabeth, is the first reigning Queen who has honoured Tamworth with her presence since the days of Ethelfleda, the daughter of Alfred. It is said, however, that James 11. once visited Tamworth, and it is known that Henry of Richmond passed through Tamworth to the battle of Bosworth, where he was victorious against the Duke of Gloucester. Tamworth was, in fact, during the early ages of English history, the residence of our most pow erful and warlike kings. It is not a little singular that the last visit of a Monarch Queen of these realms paid to Tamworth was when Elizabeth visited the Earl of Essex (then her High Steward) at the ancient manor of Dray ton Bassett, where Sir R. Peel has now the distinguished honour of receiving and entertaining Queen Victoria. Tamworth is encircled by an extensive and fertile tract of meadow and upland. The two rivers, the Tame and the Anker, winding through its valleys—the venerable church and its ancient castle, all combine to render the spot (in dependent of its present associations) extremely interest ing to the visitor. VISIT OF PRINCE - ALBERT TO BIRMING The visit of Prince Albert to Birmingham on Wednes day, occasioned, as was anticipated, a general holiday. His Royal Highness arrived at the Birmingham terminus of the Derby railway, by special train, at half-past ten o'clock. _ The Mayor having been introduced to his Royal High ness, his worship presented to the Prince a loyal address. His Royal Highness, in reply, expressed the deep in terest he took in the trade, manufactures, and general welfare of the town of Birmingham. He had not the slightest doubt but he should experience the great gra tification in visiting the various manufactures of the borough. The scene on leaving the railway station in Lawley street was extremely gay and animated. A detachment of the 17th Lancers, under the command of Colonel St. Quintin, preceded the royal cavalcade, there were two royal carriages, in the first of which, drawn by four of the Queen's horses, were his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Mayor of Birmingham, the Earl of Warwick, and Mr. George Anson., The second of the royal carriages, drawn by four grays, contained a number of the Prince's attendants. Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm with which his Royal Highness was received at all points of his progress. The first place visited was the glass-house of Messrs. Bacchus and Sons, in Dartmouth-street: Here he in spected, and with great minuteness examined, the various processes adopted in the manufacture of glass. He ap peared to be highly interested in the exhibition. From the works of the Messrs. Bacchus, the royal cavalcade proceeded along Prospect-row, Coleshill-street, Dale-end, Bull-street, and Snow-hill to Water-street, where the Prince and his attendants visited the rolling .mills of Messrs. G. F. and P. H. Muntz. His Royal Highness was conducted over the whole establishment by Mr. P. Muntz, the late Mayor of the borough. A most novel, but for the manufactory, a very appropriate, sight was here exhibited. Instead of laying down carpets upon which his Royal Hi g hness was to walk, Mr. Muntz laid down a quantity of beaten yellow metal, the same copper metal used for the sheething of ship-bottoms, which has for some time past occupied so much of the attention of the Court of Chancery and other courts of law. The royal_ party next proceeded to the splendid show manufacturers, Constitution Hill. His - Royal Highness inspected the gun-manufactory of Messrs. Sargent, Bro thers, in Charlotte-street. There the process of barrel welding and rolling by machinery was seen by his Royal Highness to perfection. _ . The Prince reached the works of Messrs. Elkington and Co. at half-past one o'clock, and was there occupied about an hour in minutely inspecting the various proces ses connected with the electric deposition of metals as ap plied to gilding, plating, zincing, coppering, &c. The button manufactory of Mr. Edward Armfield, in Newhall-street. was the next object of interest to the Royal party. There his Royal Highness witnessed the manufacture of buttons, from the earliest and crudest state of the manufacture to its completion. The next object of attraction was the Town-hall. The Prince arrived at the hall about three o'clock, and with his distinguished attendants took up a position in the centre gallery. Mr. Stem pson played upon the organ the National Anthem. The effect was admirable, and it was most cordially responded to by the audience. Mr. Stempson afterwards played a voluntary, and in conclu sion " Martin Luther's hymn." From the Town-hall his Royal Highness proceeded to King Edward's School, one of Mr. Baring's splendid buildings, in New-street. The Royal cavalcade next proceeded to the Proof house, where they were received by the wardens, and after a volley of a proof of 126 barrels. left, highly grati ficd, for the terminus of the Derby railway. On Thursday morning Prince Albert went out shooting. At noon, the Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by Sir Robert and Lady Peel, and a distinguished company, paid a visit to the cathedral at Lichfield. Their reception by the inhabitants of Lichfield was a loyal one, and the streets and houses were gaily decorated. On Friday her Majesty and the Prince, with their suite, left Tamworth for Chatsworth, on a visit to the Duke of Devonshire. The royal cortege left Drayton at half-past ten, reached Tamworth station at eleven, Derby a little after half-past eleven, and Chesterfield shortly before one. At two her Majesty reached Chatsworth, the roaci , sby which the royal cortege passed being thronged with spectators from almost all parts of Derbyshire and the southernmost portion of Yorkshire. Yesterday (Monday) her Majesty would leave Chats worth for Belvoir Castle, on a visit to the Duke of Rut land, and the following is understood amongst the officials to be the TIMES OF HER MAJESTY'S ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE The following are the times to be observed by the trains MONDAY, DEC. 4.

FASHIONS FOR DECEMBER (From the " London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion." Velvets, satins, and all the richer materials of dress are now fashionable; the make varies but little. High dres ses continue to be much worn, a la puritaine, and reding otes are the favourite styles for infglig 68 ; for demi-toilettes the corsages are lower, with berthes revers of the same material. A new style of trimming, dentelle de velours, is likely to be very much worn, not only on velvet dresses. for which it is peculiarly adapted, but it will be used on various other toilettes, mantelets, manteaux, camails, &c. The point de Venise is the richest and most delicate gimp trimming that has yet appeared, and being open, it is often prettily introduced as gullies on watered silks, and has an agreeable effect. Spanish buttons are also f--"nnable - they resemble small round bells attached to a chain, arida,. • ..z...,,,a.p11.02 silk redi a otes, and velvet bodies; they are made i n go ld, peari4oi enamel. Aleticon lace is the description most used ; four and even five flounces of it sometimes ornament the vel vet or satin dress. Skirts continue long and full, and often without trimming, but they have also ornamented en tab tier in front, or have flounces of extreme width. Long ceintures of ribbon in plaids, stripes, or pines, are worn ; the sleeves a l' orientate, with the under one of muslin bouillonne'e, is much in favour. Fur is now very generally introduced, and is ranch ap proved for dresses as well as manteaux, which are now seen in every variety of form; some are entirely lined with fur, and sleeves are very generally introduced for them. Paletols, pardessus, polonaises witchouras, are all in favour, but the newest form is the vale'ehe, and may be made of velvet trimmed with lace, satin bordered with fur, or of levaqine encircled with a broad border of quilting, finished with a fringe. Can:ails are less worn, and when they are, the corners in front are lengthened to a point, and the material should be of velvet, embroider ed or trimmed with fur. The sleeves for manteaux are the Danoises, Veniliennes, Isabelle or Spanish, orna mented with gimp, large fancy silk buttons,branaenbottrgs of silk and velvet. Bonnets are made a little shorter at the ears and a little more raised ; ribbon is more worn inside than flowers, and veils are almost indispensible. Velvet and satin are the principal materials in use, and the colours are dahlia, green, violet, and black. Mara bouts and long feathers laid entirely across the front, with wreaths of flowers, black lace and birds—not only the entire bird, but often merely a wing —are the ornaments in fashion. Some bonnets have nwuds of velvet, lined with satin, supporting an aigrette or bunch of flowers. Morning caps are small, and prettily rounded at the ears, and the crowns are often lined with transparent gauze; all the ornaments, folds, nwuds, are placed en touffe at the lower pert of the cheek. Bugles are still used with coiffures, in which there is much variety ; the Rosins and Sevilienne are the most novel. There is a decided incli-, nation to wear the coiffure more forward on the head and the crowns are larger to admit the nattes. CONJUGAL DUTIES.—On Saturday night week about forty women, led by a woman who blew a horn, assembled around the house of a tailor residing near Pontardulais, and who was in the habit of rather ill-using his better half. The party (to use their own expressions) gave the " snip" notice that. " as he made but a very bad Methodist," un less he should reform, they would adjourn to the adjoin ing river and " make a Baptist of him." The tailor be longed to the former denomination.—Hereford Journal. PtiorioGßAPHY.—Phonography is a system of writing founded on philosophical principles, in contradistinction to all other systems, which proved, are to he full of the most gross inconsistencies ; and, indeed, how can they be otherwise, when the problem was never so much as enun cioted—how many sounds were there in the hum n voice, up to the discovery of phonography ? The voice is em ployed by all tribes of mankind, in all parts of the globe, to represent ideas which are formed in the mind ; and, the using of the voice in this manner, is termed the spoken language. In addition to this, a system of signs has ge nerally come into use, to provide against the deficiency of speech, which could not of itsel fbe conveyed to a dis tance. Sometimes the signs employed have been visible representations of the ideas themselves, and in these cases the writing was termed hieroglyphical ; but the immense amout of labour necessary to acquire a knowledge of these systems has always bean sufficient to bring them into disuse as the people advanced in knowledge, and alpha betical systems have commonly, in the end, been adopted, which, as they admit of greater simplicity, are more easily acquired, and more expeditiously executed. But it is strange. that although the sounds of the human voice are the same, or nearly so, in all quarters of the globe, the signs which various alphabetical systems contain, are found to vary very considerably, some having only 19, and others as high as 202, and not less so with regard to the real sounds of the human voice. It is also strange that, for all the attempts that have been made to frame alpha bets, no system of signs has ever been framed by which the spoken language of any one country might be correctly represented ; and surely when so much depends in many cases on a very minute difference of sound, it is of the high est importance that, in representing sounds, the signs should be of such a nature as not to admit of being con founded with each other, nor of being mistaken for any other sound than that of which they are the proper repre sentatives. It is evidently owing to errors of this kind that such difficulties have arisen in the art of orthography and orthoepy, especially in relation to our own language, although others are not much better, perhaps. It is be cause we have no sign for many words which occur in the language—because the signs of certain sounds are used to represent sometimes one sound and sometimes another— and because there is no fixed rule for what combination shall be used to represent any given sound, (which is proved by the fact that the six simple vowel sounds are found spelt in upwards of 30 different way s ,) t h at so much difficulty is experienced in learning to read, and so few can spell correctly. in the Pho nograp hi c system learning to write and read is the work of a few weeks, and spelling does not require to be learned at all. Let us then say to all who would wish, not only for their own sakes, but also for the sakes of these who might still be sufferers from the evils we have enumerated, at least to inquire into the nature of Phonography, and this is all that is necessary to make the science universally known.
