" To-morrow (Thersduy) is expected to be a
guy day wilt us. In the course of the afternoon his
Majesty, it is expected, wilt) be stile to attend a
further, although it cau be only a partial, review of
the troops at present stationed !bout the Palace,.
and iu the neighbourhood of Hanover, amoonting
to upwards of 20,000 in number, cavalry and 'in-
fantry included. The appearance of these troops
is must imposing. After this review there will be
• splendid exhibition of fire-works in the gardens
and grounds surrounding the Palace of Herren-
hauren, at which the public will be indiscrimi-
nately admitted.
" It is at present positively calculated that his
Majesty will oat extend his visit to us beyond the
middle of next week—not after the 24th instant.
Sir B. Bloomfield has orders to that effect. The
director of the Premien posts is already here, wait-
ing to receive his instructions respeisting the route
that his Majesty may take ; and he has commands
from his own Government to secure all possible
facilities.
" ought to mention a cations robbery that
has taken place here, and which has occasioned a
good deal of conversation, as well as much activity
ou the part of the police. Sir B. Bloomfield let'
his watch sit a chamber adjoining to hie room : he
was abeent for a short time. • person with a mes-
sage from the King having detained him. when on
his way hack to his chamber ; but on returning he
discovered that the watch was gone. This loss is
the more vexatious to Sir K. Bloomfield us the
watch was the gift of the King, and contains within
it • fine likeness of his Majesty. All the endea-
vours of the police to get any traces of it have
as yet been fruitless."
EXTRACT OP A PRIVATE LETTER PROM HANOVER,
DATED MONDAY, OCTOBER 15.
" I hasten to inform you that Prince Metternich
and Count Lieven are hourly expected here. They
are c for the ostensible purpose of !saying
their respects to his MAJESTY oa the part of their
respective Sovereigns; but their real object is to
discuss the affairs of Turkey with the Marquis of
Londonderry, whose recent correspondence has set
them in motion.— Those who have had the best op-
portunities of information were not at all prepared
for this event ; nor did his Majesty once contem-
plate it oil his arrival. as I understand from good
authority. This place is expected to be the seat
of important oegociations, but they will not have
the effect of prolongiug his Majesty's visit, and ar-
rangements are already made for his departure in
the b-gunning of next week. His Majesty is ad-
vised not to expoie himself in the open air till he is
perfectly recovered from an attack which the Me-
dical Gentlemen think is only of a temporary ns-
lure."
" TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 16.
" lam happy to inform you that his Majesty is
considerably better this morning, and it is hoped
that the pain in his knee will be so far abated by
to-morrow as to allow hint to appear in public.
The Theatre last Mein presented a brilliant assem-
blage of rank and fashion. Among the illustrious
and distinguished personages who attended were,
the Dukes of Cambridge and Cumberland, with
their Duchesses; the Archduke Ferdinand of Aus-
tria, the yossug Prince of Nestor, son to the Land-
grave ; the Princess of Soling, daughter of the
Duchess of Cumberland. &c. The Marquis of
Loodontlitry and Sir Benjamin Blotuefield sat to-
gether in the stage box ; the former in full dress, with
the Order of the Garter, and the latter wearing a plain
blue vett, with a red collar—the undress of Gentle-
men of his Mirk sty's suite. The play was a humorous
burlesque on the rage that prevails in favour of
Madame Cutalasii, who is personated ou the stage
by a stout lusty fellow, dressed up in female stare.
The piece, which is called the False Prima Dogma,
owes its title to this disguise. Many of the inci-
dents were exceedingly laughable, the concert
scam iu particular, where Madame Catalani endee-

yours to surpass herself in the execution of some of
her finest quavers. Her husband, Valtutiragite, is
seen tapping the newspaper critic on the shoulder,
who stands forth. a half.starved sort of elf, with his
eyes raised in ischnisatiass .f the enchanting oven.
The theatre is small e*d loudly lighted, but the
performers are for the most;pliet,asicellent."
" TUMMY isaNM4, eight o'clock.
" The pain whirls Ni. Neje" experienced from
the sodden attack of the gout is in a great degree
removed, and his departure is positively fixed for
1 hursday week. Count Licveu has just arrived,
and Prince Metteroich is momentarily expected.
Negocirtions of the highest importance are on the
tams. There was this morning a grand sham b:ittle,
about an English mile from tlic town. All the
troops of the country were assembled on the ground,
and they went through various evolutions accord.
ing to the rigid principles of warfare. A hilt, with
a windmill on its summit, was defended by severe!
batteries of artillery, which. were at length silencer]
after au obstinate resistances 4114 'he ussailaots sue•
ceeded in ruing possession of the place. This at-
tack formed the grand and prominent feature in the
mimic scene. Air. Grant, one of his Majesty's
illwasigera attached to Caritas House. hiss left
Herrenhausen with dispitchery of an important
I
nature."

From the Kingpin. Upper C'anado, Chronicle of
September 14 :—" We are informed by a Gentle.
man from the western district that, in consequence
of the low prices for all kinds of grgin, the farmers
in that part of the country are now turning their
attention to the cultivation of tobacco. A few
hundred weight of last year's growth was sent Ihia
summer to Montreal as a sample. the quality of
which has been declared by competent judges to be
excellent. Oar informant states, that some indivi.
duals have planted us much as six acres this season,
and every where the crops are of a very luxuriant
growth. There can be no doubt bat that the soil
and climate along the batiks of the River Thames,
and throughout the extensive settlement on the
northern shore of Lake Erie, as well as in the im-
mediate vicinity of Amlierstburg, are well adapted
to the cultivation of tobacco, and when the farmers
shall have acquired • little experience in the art of
managing and preparing this plant for the manufac-
turer. It may hecnine the principal staple. and
most profitable article for exportation from that
remote past of the province."
