THE StTN, LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 13, 1838.

visit wa-; Sunday, no: W:l3 the precautionary prosence of a
strong military force neglected. How miserable m ust be
the life of a Sovereign who cannot stir beyond the pre-
cincts of his palace without having recourse to subterfuge
in addition to large armed force to insure 11:.s. personal

safety.
On Thursday last, the pupils of the Colleges of Stanis-
law and Rollin of Paris, and of the Royal College of Ver-
sailles, mustered to the number of 1,200 at Versailles,
where the KING in person conducted them over the Pa-
When his MAJESTY reached the Salle de l' Opera,

he placed himself in front of the Royal box, where,
surrounded by the Professors he addressed his youthful
audience to the following effect :
" Young students, dear con-disciples of all my children, it is a real
enjoyment to me to find myself in the midst of you in this vast building,
in which I have collected all the glorious recollections of our history, all
the great examples which you are always to have present to your minds,
in order to prepare yourselves to imitate them, and to respond to the calls
which your country has a right to make on you."—(llere the King was
itterrtspted by loud cries of ripe IP ROI !)—" I feel deeply those accla
Mtions, they go to my very heart—l should have much regretted that
your public University examinations had deprived me of this pleasure.
I feel it the snore when I think that we are at the Sith of Au.
gust. It is eight years since, on the like day, I responded by my solemn
acceptance to the national wish which called me to the throne, and that
I swore, in the presence of the Chambers, to uphold and defend those
laws and liberties so gloriously re-conquered, but which could only he
consolidated under the tutelar protection of the Constitutional Throne."
(Loud acclamations.)
" Yes, young students, it is this conviction which decided me to un-
dertake the heavy task imposed on me by the national voice. I shall
not hide from you that far from seeking it I was frightened at it; but I
have the conviction of having done my duty ; and when I behold the
prosperity, the quiet and tranquility enjoyed by France, I entertain the
hope that I have succeeded, and have properly prepared the task which
you will one day have to fulfil, by keeping the deposit of our laws and
institutions entire, and in defending them loyally and vigorously
against the attacks of those, be they who they may, who would ravish
them from us.
" History will judge mu. What I have done during eight years will
no doubt be recorded in this Palace, where I have collected the remem.
brance of what our predecessors have done glorious anti useful to our
common country, and I am confident that the national feeling will
avenge me for all the calumnies with which I am assailed during my
life, and for which your acclamations are already for me a consolation.—
(Cries of " rive le Rol")
• "

" My heart feels deeply the affection you show me, and I apt deeply
moved by them, and also for the kind reception you gave to my two
sons. I congratulate myself that they have been brought up amonsgt
you, on the same seats, and that they have shared and will continue to
share your games, your labours, and your success. I hope you will ever
continue to have for them the same affection. I request it of you for
them ; at the same time, thanks to you for the marks of attachment you
give me, and repeating to you how delighted I am when in the midst of
you."
The substance of the latest intelligence from the Spanish
belligerents is included in the following telegraphic despatch,
copied from the official columns of the Illoniteur :
" BORDEAUX, Auc. 10.—The insurgents have been recently attacked
and routed by Oraa on the 2d, near the town of Morella, towards which
they retired in disorder. They afterwards dispersed themselves in dif-
ferent directions. General San Miguel was on the 4th at Cerollcra, con-
ducting the waggon train and besieging artillery towards Morella, where
he hoped to arrive without other obstacle than that of the road, which
is almost impracticable."
The following extract from the Novicio of Saragossa, of
the 4th inst., though trot of so late a date as the telegra-
phic dispatch, contains further details of thepreparations
then making for the attack on Morella. •

" Mo:sißoYA, AuousT 1.-Tlie army arrived on the 29th before Mo-
rella, with nothing more important than a slight skirmish sustained by
San Miguel's division. All the divisions were united on the heights
above Morella. Tne Carlist skirmishers appeared, but were soon
driven into a strong position which they occupied towards Orcajo. On
the 30th the army occupied different heights and points ; the enemy
attacked the rear, but were rcpulsed. The GeneraLin-Chief destroyed
the works and parapets at Pobieta. San Miguel, • with five battalions,
marched to Alcaniz to bring up the artillery from thence, Borse and
Pardinas remaining befpre Morella, but entrenched and out of the
reach of the cannon, until the artillery should arrive."
Annexed are extracts from the papers :-
The fine sugar refinery at Chalons-sur.Saone, erected by M. Petcot
Grossier, Deputy for that town, bast just beets destroyed by fire. It is
said to be insured for 400,000 francs.
An Order of the Day of the 2d August was distributed yesterday
among the officers of the National Guard. It says, " the Marshal has
been informed that in several legions officers persist in keeping the
muskets which are intrusted to, them to do their duty as private National
Guards. In doing this they act contrary to Article 7 of the Royal
Ordinance of 12th November, 1835," &c.
The citizens in the Beserue are likewise not to retain arms in their
possession ; if they refuse to deliver them up, they are to be proceeded
against by the Captains.-Commerce.
BRUSSELS, AUG. 1.-The Archbishop of Malines has just been sum-
moned to Rome to receive the Cardinal's hat, in a Consistory which
will be held for the purpose in the course of this month. His Eminence
has had to-day an audience of his Majesty to take leave.

NATIONAL LOAN FUND SOCIETY.—On-
nesday evening, Mr. Wood delivered a lectur2 on a subject which, when
fully known and acted upon, will contributemost essentially to the inde-
pendence and happiness of society, particularly of that large and Lighly
important Lran::ll denominated the productive classes. We need scarcely
say that we allude to the National Loan Fund Society, the objects and
uses of which excellent institution were admirably explained by Mr.
\Vood to a very attentive audience.—Leicestershire Mercury.
FUNERAL OF LADY FRANCES BANKS On
Saturday the remains of Lady Frances Banks, daughter of s the late
venerable Earl of Eldon, whose demise she has not long survived, were
removed from Hamilton_place, for interment in the family mausoleum,
under the parish church of Encombe, Dorsetshire. The mournful
cavalcade wa,, at her Ladyship's request, strictly private, and void of
ostentation, consisting of only two mutes on horseback, the state plume,
the hearse, drawn by four horses, with velvets and feathers, two mourn-
ing coaches, containing the present Earl, nephew of the deceased lady,
and others of the immediate relatives, followed by the carriages of the
family and most intimate friends. On the arrival of the procession at
Kensington turnpike, it halted, and Lord Edon,
&c., returned in the
private carriage to town, and will proceed on Tuesday to attend the
funeral, which will take place on Thursday next.

THE ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BIR-
MINGHAM RAILWAY.—On Saturday a coroner's inquisition was held be-
fore Mr. Stirling, at the Plough Inn, Harrow, on view of the body of
Thomas Port, a guard in the employ of the London and Birmingham
Railway Company, who was killed on Tuesday last, under the following
appalling and melancholy circumstances:—lt appeared in evidence that
the unfortunate deceased started with the Denbigh Hall five o'clock
train on Tuesday last from the station at Euston.grove, and, having
arrived within about a mile and a quarter of Harrow, as was the
usual custom, he dismounted from his seat for the purpose of collect-
ing front the passengers what is termed the " excess fares." This pro-
ceeding is occasioned by persons having paid their fare at the station
for the second-class carriages only, and subsequently taking their seat
in those of the first class. On paying their fare at the station they are
Presented with tickets of a certain colour for each class, and on ar-
riving at the place in question it is the duty of the guards to collect *the
tickets,and chargeefirs t
Ihe " excess fare" from those who had taken their
places class carriages, having only paid the second, any
intb
r f.ssal on the part of the passengers subjecting them to a
pe-
nalty of 40s. In the performance of this duty the deceased
was engaged on Tuesday, which compelled him to pass
from one carriage to the other by the steps, and when in the
act of placing his foot on one of them, at the time the train was pro-
ceedingat the rate of upwards of thirty miles an hour, his foot
slipped between the wheels, which, as they successively passed over.
one of his
knees, and above the other. Immediately after the train had passed

by

named Thomas Lee,
who, having stopped the train, proceeded to the spot, and by the advice
of some medical gentlemen, who were passengers, placed him in ono
f the carriages, and proceeied to Harrow, where it was deemed ad-
visable by Dr. Diamond, of Soho-square, and another medical gentle-
man who was present, that amputation should take place, which Was
performed by them, by severing one of the thighs close to the body
of the unfortunate man, and the other about the centre; from the
time of the accident, however, the deceased did not survive above
three hours, having expired about nine o'clock the same evening. After
some few remarks from the Jury upon the danger of allowing such a
duty to be performed while the carriages were at full speed, the Jury re-
turned a verdict of " accidental death." The deceased has left a
widow and two children to lament his loss.
