LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 21, Ir 3:

WINDSOR-WEDNESDAY.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

This afternoon, at two o'clock, the Queen held a Council
in the Red Drawing Room, which was attended by the fol-
lowing :—The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chan-
eellor, Lords Glenelg, Palmerston, Melbourne, and Albe-
marle ; Mr. Greville, and Mr. Fergusson.
The above personages, excepting the Archbishop, who
left soon after the holding of the Council, will join the
Royal dinner party this evening, and sleep at the Castle.
It is understood here that it was determined at the Coun-
cil that Parliament should meet for the despatch of business
on the 15th of November next.

A comedy, called Etiquette, or a Wife for a 11.'zindet,
which, if we remember rightly, was performed come years
since at the Queen's, under the title of Etiquette run Mad,
rats played at this theatre last night. It is from the pen
of Mr. Power, the actor, but does him no very great cre-
dit, for the incidents are common-place enough, and the
dialogue almost wholly destitute of point, wit, and elegance.
There is, however, some bustle in the piece, which, aided
by the author's humorous performance of Captain Dennis
O'More, procured it a favourable reception. Mrs. Humby
and Webster played well in their respective parts ; but, in-
deed, the characters throughout were sustained with great
spirit and ability. The house was full, but by no means
clowded.

At four o'clock the Queen rode in the Park on horse-
back, accompanied by.the Duchess of Kent, Lords Mel-
bourne and Palmerston, Lady Charlemont, and others of
the Royal suite. The Hon. Mrs. Brand, and Miss Lister
followed in a_phmton7

RAMSGATE-WEDNESDAY.

Lord and Lady Chnrlernont (her Ladyship as Lady in
Waiting) and the Hon. Mrs. Brand (as Woman of the Bed-
chamber) arrived at the Castle this morning.
The Court will leave Windsor for Brighton somewhat
earlier than was at first announced. According to the pre-
sent arrangement, the Queen will go to Brighton this day
(Wednesday) fortnight, and return to town to dine with
the Lord Mayor. The Queen will return to Windsor in
December, where her Majesty intends to spend her
Christmas.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
His Majesty the King of the Belgians having finished
his visit to our most gracious Queen, was pleased again to
select this port as the place of re-embarkation for his do-
minions : active preparations have been making for some
days past, for his Majesty and Royal Consort, at the Al-
bion Hotel, where apartments were previously engaged ;
and in the' event of the weather proving unfavourable for
the voyage to-day, it was expected that the town would
have been honoured with the Royal presence for two or
three days.
During yesterday the town and Royal Harbour pre-
sented an enlivening scene, the yachts and numerous ves-
sels being gaily decked out with their various colours. As
the hour drew nigh when the illustrious visitors were ex-
pected to arrive, the streets and approaches to the Hotel
became more thickly thronged with people, anxious to wel-
come and catch a glimpse of their Majesties.
About half-past four the Duke of Wellington, Lord
Warden of the Cinque Ports, drove in from Walmer
Castle, and proceeded to Albion House, the residence of
his noble brother, Lord Maryborough. When recognised,
his Grace was everywhere received with marked respect.
As soon as it was ascertained, a few days since, that it
was the intention of their Belgian Majesties again to honour
this town, a meeting of the inhabitants and visitors was
holden, to consider what steps should be taken on the oc-
casion, when it was resolved that the same Committee
which was appointed to welcome their Majesties on their
arrival here from Ostend, should again receive the King
and Queen on their return to their dominions, and that they
should assemble at the Albion Hotel for the purpose, at
half-past six. In the course of the day it was stated that
his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge (who is at pre-
sent residing at Dover) intended to come over to greet the
King and Queen of the Belgians, upon which the Com-
mittee assembled an hour earlier, in order to meet his
Royal Highness with all due respect. At six o'clock the
Duke alighted at the Albion Hotel, and was received by
Sir William Curtis at the carriage door—shortly afterwards
the following members of the Committee, viz. :—R. Tom-
son, Esq., deputy ; Revs. Miles Bland, D.D. ; G. W.
Sicklemore ; Lonsdale ; G. W. Lewis ; Messrs.
Austen ; J. Burgess ; Cull ; Cutler ; James Daniel ; Al.
L. Daniel ; Grundy ; Jarman ; Judge ; Mayhew ; Monte-
fibre ; Sackett ; Whiskin ; and Wildish, had the honour
of being admitted into the presence of the Duke of Cam-
bridge, when the worthy Deputy, in the name of the inha-
bitants and visitors, begged to express the honour conferred
upon the town by this visit of his Royal Highness. The
Duke entered very affably into conversation with the gen-
tlemen of the deputation on several local matters, and,
thanking them for their attention, the interview terminated,
and they withdrew.
About eight o'clock, the cheers of the assembled throng,
and firing of cannon, announced the arrival of the King
and Queen of the Belgians, and suite, consisting of five
carriages.
On alighting, their Majesties were received with
all possible respect by Sir William Curtis, the
Belgian Consul, and the Committee, who lined the
steps and passage of the Hotel. Their Majesties looked
very well after the long journey they had had, having left
Windsor in the morning. At the foot of the staircase they
were most cordially greeted by the Duke of Cambridge and
Duke of Wellington ; his Royal Highness escorted the
Queen, and the Duke of Wellington walked with
the King to the drawing-room. The apartments assigned
to their Majesties at the Albion Hotel were tastefully de-
corated with bouquets of flowers, from the grounds of Mr.
Curtis, of the Hermitage ; and the arrangements made by
Mrs. Bear were altogether of such a description as to do
great credit to the worthy hostess and to meet the appro-
bation of the Royal visitors.
On information being conveyed to the King that a depu-
tation was in waiting, his Majesty was graciously pleased to
fix this morning to receive, them.
The party at the Royal dinner were about twenty in
number, among whom were the Duke of Cambridge, the
Duke of Wellington, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Lord Lilford,
Lord Maryborough, Hon. Sir E. Cust, Sir Wm. Curtis,
Bart., &c.
The Royal carriages having been shipped at an early
hour, their Majesties left the Hotel about nine o'clock this
morning in one of our Queen's carriages, and proceeded to
the plane of embarkation, amidst the hearty cheers of the
assembled multitude, preceded by the Committee (wearing
the Belgian colours at the button-hole), and the police of
the town and harbour. On reaching her Britannic
lAc_liinijty's m

eArie d
by the
Cthoaptain Duke Socrocitahmetbt, Cambridge
and Duke of Wellington. The steps leading to that vessel
were lined by the Committee. The Duke of Cambridge
conducted the Queen on board. On his Majesty quitting
the shore, the Deputy expressed to the King the sincere
wish of the inhabitants that his Majesty and his Illustrious
Consort might have a pleasant voyage, and reach his own
dominions in safety ; adding how deeply the Port of Rams-
gate was honoured by being again selected by his Majesty
for landing and re-embarkation. The vessel then started
on her voyage. At this moment the scene was of a most
animating description ; the weather was beautiful. The
noble pier, the lighthouse, the cliffs, the shore, were
thronged with well-dressed people. The Royal standard
floated in the breeze. The yachts of Sir W. Curtis and
Air. Beaumont, and the numerous vessels in the harbour,
were dressed with all their colours. At the moment when
the Belgian flag was lowered and the Royal standard
hoisted on board the Ariel, a Royal salute was fired from
the Pier guns and different yachts. The air rung with
cheers ; another round of cheers was given when the vessel
passed the Pier-head ; three hearty cheers were then
given for the Duke of Cambridge, and three more for the
Duke of Wellington.
After the departure of their Majesties the Committee
breakfasted together at the Albion Hotel.
Lord Lilford and Sir Edward Cust returned to town in
her Majesty's chariot and four.
In the course of the morning, the Duke of Cambridge
(accompanied by Sir William Curtis, the Harbour-masters,
and officers of the Pier), minutely inspected the Royal
Harbour and the different works, with which we are in-
formed his Royal Highness was much gratified. At half-
past four the Duke paid a visit to his illustrious relative,
the Princess Sophia of Gloucester, at West Cliff, on leaving
which a salute of 21 guns was fired from the pier, his
Royal Highness having engaged to honour the Duke of
Wellington at Walmer Castle, at seven o'clock.
Altogether this has been a proud and gratifying- day for
Ramsgate. That the King of the Belgians should have
selected this port at both his visits to this country is a
strong proof of the estimation in which it is held by his
Majesty.
When all the conveniences of this harbour are fairly con-
sidered, that vessels can at all times of tide enter, depart,
receive and land passengers and carriages without the use of
btooa
Belgium
e,
gt
im
um ;
must be evident that it is best suited for intercourse
with Belgium. It has always been a matter of surprize
that the mail-packets for Ostend have not been fixed to
run at this place, as it is decidedly the nearest British port
the
coast.facilities When a bs

equalled on this ports
during the prevalence of wind at S.S.W., Ramsgate har-
bour is always open. The new entrance from the outer to
the inner harbour presents a splendid piece of masonry ; it
is deservedly the admiration of all who see it : when this is
completed, vessels of greater breadth and tonnage will be
enabled to enter the harbour.

INVERNESS.—The Circuit Court of Justiciary
was opened on Wednesday last, by the Lord Justice-Clerk
and Lord Medwyn ; Cosmo Innes, Esq., Advocate-De-
pute. The cases which came on for trial were not of a
very serious nature. Those from Elgin were Janet Robert-
son, for housebreaking and theft. She pleaded guilty, and
was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. Alexander
Longmore, for invading the house of Jean Allan, Elgin, and
assaulting her, also pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to
nine months' imprisonment, and to find security to keep the
peace for five years.
The Netherland steam-ship Batavier arrived yes-
terday afternoon from Rotterdam in 24 hours. This fa-
vourite steam-ship made the passage to Rotterdam in
22 hours.

Some difficulty
said to have been experienced in mak-
ing up the accounts a Messrs. Esdaile and Co., bankers,
who were enabled a few rii,2nths ago to discharge all the
claims of their customers upon them by a subscription or
loans from the merchants and bankers of London, and con-
sented, in consequence of that assistance, to relinquish
business, confiding at the same time the realization of their
property to inspectors or trustees selected for that purpose
by the general body of creditors. The liquidation up to
the present time has gone on smoothly enough, being oc-
cupied upon securities of the better class, and about
400,0001. has, as it is understood, been realized ; but on
proceeding to deal with the securities of a doubtful charac-
ter, some unexpected opposition hat arisen from some of
the members of the firm to such compositions of debt as
the trustees deemed it prudent to agree to, but which the
parties were disposed to treat as a wanton sacrifice of that
surplus which they were sanguine enough to suppose would
be found to exist in their favour, after the liquidation
shall be completed. They also conveyed an intimation to
the:trustees that no compositions of debt whatever were to
be made without their concurrence. The trustees thus
impeded in their operations', hate made an appeal to the
creditors at large, and explaioed the difficulty they feel in
going on with the liquidation, unless armed with powers
greater and more clearly defined than those with which
they have been entrusted, meaning probably a resort to the
Gazette. An advantage might result frotx.' that course to
the creditors generally in bringing fairly to the test whether
the Bank of England has or has not at the time of the ori-
ginal arrangement obtained any unfair preference ever the
rest. At present the expectations are not very saoi_Tuine
that after the Bank is paid in full there will be near suffi-
cient for the other creditors. _ _ .

The other great liquidations, that is to say, those of the
American houses, are kept in a good deal of obscurity,
though sufficient time has elapsed to allow the parties
engaged in them to make some communications, which
are the more important as the character of the
merchants of the United States ltas been shown to
depend materially upon the manner in which they meet
their engagements with the houses referred to. Some
vague statements are made from time to time, that all is
going on favourably in the realization of the assets, but they
do not command much attention : a few figures, or a cer-
tain amount of dividend shared among the creditors, would
be far more satisfactory. Those houses which were refused
from the first all assistance from the Bank of England, and
abandoned to their fate, such as that of Gowan and Marx,
and some others, are likely, it is said, to make an earlier
and better dividend on that account, and will probably re-
sume business shortly with full credit. The reason is ob-
vious enough. The interference of the Bank checked the
disposition of the debtors in America to exert themselves
to fulfil their engagements ; in the other case they were
put upon their mettle, and struggled to save their old cor-
respondents, whom they saw they must otherwise lose for
ever.— Times.

BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS.

The King and Queen will return to Laeken on Thurs-
day. We learn that their Majesties will be present at the
opening of the railroad of Ghent.
We are informed that the Commissioners assembled at
Arras to consider the best direction to be given to the iron
railroads have nearly agreed on the following bases :—The
communication between France and Belgium to be by a
principal line from Paris to Lisle by way of Amiens, Arras,
and Douai, with a branch from Douai to Valenciennes and
Cambrai, and from Lisle to Belgium. The communication
between France and England on the one hand, and between
England and Belgium on the other, to be by a line which,
proceeding from Amiens, passing by Abbeville, Etable, Bou-
logne, Calais, Watten, St. Omer, Aire, and Merville, with
a branch from Watten to Dunkirk would join the principal
line at Lille.
ANTWERP, SEPT. 18.—The new steam-boat Antwerpen
was launched on Saturday, with complete success, amidst
the acclamations of a multitude of spectators assembled to
witness a sight, which was frequent before the revolution,
but has unhappily been of %my rare occurrence during the
last seven years. The steam-boat will shortly go to
Greenock, in Scotland, to take its engines on board.—

ATHENS, Ann. 9.2.—0 n the 10th of this month, at five
in the morning, an officer of gendarmes repaired to the
residence of Colonel Theodore Grivas, and producing a
Royal order, informed him that an hour's time was allowed
him to put his affairs in order, after which he should make
himself ready, having delivered up his sword, to go into the
carriage that was waiting at the door, and proceed to the
Piraeus, there to embark on board a ship ready to receive
him, and convey him to Napoli. Grivas appeared to be
little surprised by the morning visit ; proceedings have
long been pending against him, though not under confine-
ment, lie being accused by his own people of various acts
of oppression and cruelty towards the country people in
Rumelia, of embezzlement, unjust proceedings, &c.
He submitted with great resignation to the Royal
Order, according to which he is to be tried by a court-
martial at Napoli. The arrest of this great chief of the
Greek soldiery made some measure of precaution necessary,
which gave occasion to numberless reports, all of which
fell to the ground in a few days. The sentence of the
Court is most anxiously expected. A company of German
farmers, consisting of 40 persons, has arrived from Rhenish
Bitvaria—unhappily all of them people who at their
very first arrival look to the Government for means of sub-
sistence. The only possession of these poor people is a
swarm of poor children ; six or eight little ones surround
their parents in the classic ground and call for bread. The
nature of the country is not such that one can say—" Here
you have a field, support yourself." Money, tools, and
building materials are wanting, all which the Government
is expected to provide. Whether it can or will do so time
will show. At present several of the Bavarian emigrants
are employed in driving wheelbarrows among the labour-
ers at the new palace, which the) might just as well have
done on the iron railroads, or the Canal of the Danube in
their own country.
ROME, SEPT. 7.—The reports respecting the lately dis-
covered conspiracies are, after the cholera, the sole sub-
ject of conversation. This conspiracy gives rite to many
conjectures, but nothing positive can be learnt. With re-
spect to the disorder, tho physicians agree that it had
reached the highest point some days ago, and that its
original violence had greatly abated. The Pope lied
driven out several times, which always makes a favourable
impression on the inhabitants of Rome, and the cardinals
also appear in public more frequently than hitherto.
Here, as in other places, people are becoming gradually
sensible that the disorder is not so contagious as was be-
lieved, and that a regular mode of life is the best pre-
ventive. Several very judicious ordinances, partly for the
maintenance of tranquillity and health, have lately been is-
sued, and the Romans ascribe them as well as other laud-
able measures to the exertions of the much respected Aus-
trian Ambassador, Count von Lutzow. among the last
deaths we regret to mention that of the Danish Consul,
General Chiaveri, who died the day before yesterday at
Castel Gondolpho, the country seat of his half-brother Don
Carlo Torlonia.

The Marchioness of Tavistock joined the Noble
Marquis at Woburn Abbey on Tuesday. Lord and Lady
Tavistock will, it is expected, occupy Woburn Abbey dur-
ing the contemplated tour of the Duke and Duchess of
Bedford in the south of Europe.
COAL HOLE TAVERN STRAND.—This old esta-
blished and highly respectable place of public amusement con-
tinues to draw from all quarters. It is crowded every night
by Noblemen and Gentlemen, who, we need hardly say,
evince the highest gratification from the well conducted and
unrivalled convivial meetings. The singing is, as it always
has been, of the first order. The wines and spirits are of
the choicest quality.
Miss LANDON'S NEW NOVEL.—It is understood
that Miss Landon has devoted the best powers of her prose
pen, which has already been so brilliantly exercised, to the
striking subject of her forthcoming novel," Ethel Churchill."
Among the historical personages who figure in its
pages are said to be Swift, Gay, Lord Harvey, the Duke
of Wharton, the Duchess of Buckingham, Curl, Lintot,
Sir Godfrey Kneller, Lady Mary Wortley Montague,
Pope, &c.
