GERMAN AND BRUSSELS PAPERS

BERLIN, AUG. 10.—A few days ago the Duke of Me-
dina Sidonia passed through Berlin on his way to St. Pe-
tersbur,gh, and during his stay here, had no intercourse with
our liberal and pacific Court. He left the theatre of war
in Spain only three weeks before, and he told us that the
victory would be decided not by arms, but by provisions.
Don Carlos, he says, has many able French officers in his
army, who direct the operations, and will endeavour to re-
main constantly between Valencia and Madrid, in order to
prevent the Christinos from receiving any supplies In the
Duke's opinion such a war, carried on as it now is, may
continue thirty years.
HANOVER, AuG. 12.—This being the anniversary of
the creation of the Royal Guelphic Order, the Chapter was
held with the usual solemnity in the Royal Palace. His
Excellency Count Kielmannsegge presiding on the occasion.
The new nominations and promotions since the 12th
August, 182 G, were announced, as well those made by his
late Majesty, William IV., as those by the present King
Ernest Augustus. From the list of names it appears that
almost all the nominations of King William are English
subjects. Those of the present King are all Germans,
with the exception of Sir Joseph Planta, as Grand Cross ;
Capt. Geo. Gosling, R.N.,; Lieut. Gordon, R.N.; and
Capt. Stephens, Aide-de-Camp to the Duke of Cambridge.

BRUSSELS, AUG. 16.—M. Nothomb will certainly re-
main at London, to be present at the grand ball which the
Queen of England is to give on the 19th of this month,
after which he will immediately return to his posts.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex will leave
Kensington Palace on a country tour in the course of a
fortnight, and before his return will visit Southwick, the
seat of Mr. Thistlewahe, and join a shooting party at the
Earl of Leicester's, at Holkham, Norfolk, and Lord Diner-
bin, at his Lordship's seat, near St. Asaph's, Wales. His
Royal Highness enjoys excellent health.
The Duke D'Osuna has left Mivart's Hotel for
Paris, where the illustrious Duke will pass the winter, and
rill return to this country early in the spring.
Earl Cowper has taken a mansion in South Audley
street, nearly opposite to Chesterfield House, for his town
residence.

The Marquis of Westminster's new square in Pim.
lico has been named Eccieston-square, after a township be-
longing to his Lordship in Cheshire.
Lord Carrington has taken a house on the Marine-
parade, Brighton, for the season. The venerable peer's
marine residence, Deal Castle, to the governorship of which
he was appointed by Pitt, will be occupied during the au-
tumn by Lord and Lady Granville Somerset.
The Marchioness of Lansdowne has experienced
another domestic bereavement by the demise of the heir
apparent of her brother, the Earl of Ilchester.

A marriage is on the lapis between a wealthy banker
of St. James's-street, and the sister of a noble duke possess-
ng large estates in Gloucestershire, Wales, &c.

The following distinguished persons have been at-
tracted by Power and Buckstone's new comedy to the Hay-
market this week :—Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch,
Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, Marquis of Conyngham,
Earl and Countess Chesterfield, Earl and Countess Lich-
field, Lord and Lady Fitzroy Somerset, Lady Gardner,
Lady Louisa Anson, Lady Bolton, Lord and Lady Suf-
field, Lady Aylesford, Lord Harvey, Viscount Allan, Lord

Mr. Power is engaged at the Adelphi, and will
make his first appearance in a new piece by Samuel Lover,
Esq., called Rory O'illore.

THE COLOSSEUM.—To the other attractions of
this fashionable and fascinating evening lounge, Mr. Bra-
ham last night added those of his Tom Tug, in the elder
Dibdin's farce of The Waterman. The success which has
attended this distinguished singer's personation of this cha-
racter is too generally well known to need, on this occasion,
more than a brief or cursory notice of it. It will suffice to
say, that it was in no respect deficient in those qualities
which have hitherto recommended it to the favourable
consideration of the public. His favourite songs of " The
Jolly Young Waterman," " Farewell my trim built Wherry,"
" The Bay of Biscay," were given in his best manner, in
all of them he was universally and most enthusiastically
encored. At the conclusion of the farce, Mr. Braham
sang a new song, " Heres Victoria, our Queen for ever,"
the sentiments of which were loyally responded to by the
company, which, we are happy to state was both numerous
and genteel. Marschner's opera of The Trophy, which has
greatly improved since its first repfesentation, was received
with much favour, as also were " the feats of the gladiators,"
and " the grotesque pas Chinois," by Signori Boleno, Deu-
lin, and Simon, who evinced in them considerable grace and
agility. We forgot, in its proper place, to mention the
enthusiastic manner in which Mr. Braham's appearanee
was hailed—a circumstance in itself which must have been
highly gratifying to his feelings.

A seizure for Church-rates took place last week at
Coventry. The petitions presented during the last session
of Parliament, praying for the abolition of this tax, had
667,310 signatures.
The annual entertainment in celebration of the Earl
of Yarborough's natal day, took place on -the Bth instant,
as usual, in a spacious and commodious booth in front of
the New Inn, Great Limber.

Accident gave us a glimpse the other day of one of
the drollest specimens of ingenious absurdity we ever re-
member to have seen. It was no less than a model of a
railway to take an invalid up to bed ! A moveable railway
is laid up the stairs with a curve at the top, the inventor
saith not of what radius, and a suitable carriage provided on
which the invalid is to be placed. He is then drawn up,
secundum regular: by a servant, with the aid of a system of
pullies to the first landing. Being quietly deposited in one
corner, there he must wait while the servant carries up and
places the rails on the next flight of stairs. Another pulley-
hauling gets him to the second landing. The rails have to
be again removed, and the invalid proceeds on to the third
stage ; and so on to his last lift. How he is to get into bed
when he has arrived up stairs we are not informed.—Rail-
way _Magazine.
We trust that no Reformer, whose name has been
unduly omitted from the overseers' lists, will fail, before the
25th instant, to send in his claim to the overseers. It
must also be borne in mind that the 25th of August is the
last day for sending in objections to any person, not pro-
perly qualified, whose name may appear in the overseers'
lists.

The amount of privation and suffering that has been
occasioned by the late cotton-spinners' strike to many in
dustrious and deserving individuals, and even to whole fami-
lies, who had no part in the matter in dispute between the
spinners and the masters, is incalculable. Numbers, on
their return to their employment, were in such a state of
debility and destitution, as to be altogether unable to per-
form their work.—Grerneck Advertiser.
SUDDEN DEA TIL-Yesterday Mrs. Mansell, wife
of Mr. Mansell, of Bull-street, and news-agent, of Union-
street, died suddenly, under the following distressing cir-
cumstances Monday evening Mrs. Mansell returned
to Birmingham, after a month's residence in Liverpool,
where she had been for the benefit of her health. About
ten o'clock yesterday morning she left her house in Bull-
street, for the purpose of a walk—looking, as h-r family
thought, in good health and spirits, and returned about
twelve o'clock. Soon afterwards the deceased complained
of a weakness in her side, and fell upon the flopr. Dr.
Evans and Mr. Chevasse were immediately called in, but
human cxertior.s were unavailing, and Mrs. Mansell
died about half-past three. Her death is attributed to
disease of the brain.—Birmindliam Advertiser.
