Infante Don Miguel having sent a confidential messenger to
the Kirig of Sardinia, to make him acquainted with his pecu-
niary embarrassments, his Majesty had placed a sum of
500,000 francs at the disposal of Don Miguel.
The harvest in Ireland has been very partial ; in
parts of the province of Connaught, where it often fails, though
abundant in the neighbouring counties, there has been an ex-
cellent crop, while in fertile districts the corn is still stand-
ing, and, being useless, is left to rot on the ground for manure.
A regular communication by steam-boats is about to
be established between Venice and the port of Manfredoni.
Several steamers are also being constructed at Venice for the
purposes of commerce.
AMERICAN THEATRES.—Of all the theatres in
the United States, there is bit one (in New York) which is
known to have carried on a profitable business; and most of
the enterprizes of individuals have entirely failed. The Ame-
ricans are not fond of any public amusement ; and are best
pleased with an abundance of business. Their pleasure con-
sists .in being constantly occupied ; and their evenings are
either spent at home, or with a few of their friends, in a man-
ner as private as possible.--Grund's Americans, in their So-
Moral, and Political Condition.
Count Pozzo ,di Borgo.entertained Prince Esterhazy
and a select party last evening at dinner, at Ashburnham
House. The Count Charles and Countess Pozzo di Borgo
arrived rt Dover-street last evening from Paris.'

of Commons, had a conference yesterday, at two P. M.-, with
Lord Stanley, at his Lordship's mansion in Carlton-gardens.
Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, nephew to the
Queen, has arrived at Brighton, from Southern-hill, near
Reading, where he has been placed under the tuition of a
French gentleman. His Highness is in his 17th year; his
eldest brother, Prince William, is a subaltern in a Dutch re-
giment of infantry.
COURT ETIQUETTE.--The following anecdote
shows the strictness with which Court etivotte is now ob-
served at the Tuileries :—On Wednesday evening M. Coul,
man, formerly Member of the Council of 'State, presented
himself at the Palace of the Tuileries, armed, as he thought,
with a sufficient passport—namely, his card of invitation to the
ball. The Hon. Gentleman was, however, refused admission,
on the plea, that having_ neglected to adopt any other dress
than a frock coat, it would be contrary to the rules of etiquette
to allow him to be present on that occasion. M. Coulman
was therefore obliged' to " leave the gay.and festive scene."
On the following day he wrote the subjoined note to the aide-
dc-camp in waiting :—" Sir,—My official duties not requiring
my presence at thea Tiiileries for the last three years, I was
ignorant of the progress which etiquette had made in that
quarter during the above period, or that a citizen could on
longer pre-sent himself at the Court of a Citizen King unless
he was accoutred like a tipstaff, or decked out like a Marquis.
It was therefore unintentionally, and in consequence of the
rebuff given to my revolutionaryfrock (which I imagined the
dress-coat of the present day), that I was prevented from
availing myself of the invitation to the ball, which you did me
the honour of sending, in the Kieg's name. I was the more
surprised at this regulation with respect to gentlemen, at a
period when the ladies are not obliged to wear the court-
mantle or trains to their gowns. In case the office of Grand
Master of the Wardrobe has been re-established, for the main-
tenance of regulations altogether worthy of the reign of Louis
XIV., I take the liberty of requesting you to make a thousand
apologies for me, as this is ti matter which concerns his de-
partment."—Gazette de France.
Notwithsrandinc, that upwards of 200 prisoners were
tried at the last Sessions at Wells, all the Somerset prisons
arc unusually full, and upwards of 40 prisoners are already
for trial at the Assizes iu April.
CO'T'TON-SPINNERS TURN-OUT.—We regret 'to
state, that the differences between the masters and the great
bulk of the spinners still remains unsettled. On Monday the
whole of Messrs. Barkers' spiuners went in, without being re-
quired to subscribe to the declaration insisted upon by the as-
sociation of masters. During the week, a meeting of the mas-
ters was held, when it was agreed to modify The terms of the
declaration, but the spinners have nevertheless manifested no
disposition to comply with it. The masters, therefore, set
themselves very actively to work in endeavouring, to procure
hands unconnected with the Union, and they have.so far suc-
ceeded, that at this moment there are from 90 to 100 pairs of
mules in the different factories of the town worked by spinners
who have no connection with the Union, independently of
those who arc employed by Messrs. Barker.—Preston Chron.
A patent has been taken out in America for a me-
