We have sutbo►ity to slate, that his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Sussex will visit the county of
Durham this summer on his way to Edinburgh.
We understand that his Hopi! Highness is expected
at Lambton Hall on the idd of August. We are
happy that the inhabitants of the North of England
will thus have ■o opportunity of repressing, by their
reception of his Royal Highness, their sense of his
manly independence and able exertions itt the cause
of constitutional liberty. Of all the members of the
Royal Family, the Duke of Sussex has ever op.
peered the most deeply impressed with the import-
ance of that principle which inseparably connects
the prosperity of the House of Brunswick with the
general freedom of the people of this empire. lo
conformity with this feeling, he has always distr.
gutted courtly favour, whenever it interfered with
the free exercise of his public duties ; and now de-
spises, we doubt not, as much ■s the country at
large, those petty personal insults which would
punish his independent vindication of the laws of
justice in the instance of the late Quetta, by exclu-
sion even from an Opera-house fete. If we know
his character aright, we may safely predict that he
will be amply consoled by the honest-and virtuous
warmth of feeling which his presence will elicit from
the free and enlighteued population of.the north.—

A charity sermon was preached last Sunday by

for the relief of the sutle►iag Irish peasantry, sod
we are happy to hear that the suns of 1371. I is. was
then collected. We should wish to hear of charity
sermons being preached in ell the chapels in Lan-
don for the same benevolent purpose, as many then
would have au opportunity of subscribing their
mite, which they think would be too small to send
to the general Committee.
