WINDSOR-WEDNESDAY.

The Queen arrived at the Castle yesterday afternoon, at
half-past six o'clock. Her Majesty came in an open carriage,
and W 35 accompanied by her Royal Highness, the Duchess of
Kent, and the Marchioness of Normanby ( Lady in Waiting).
In the two other carriges which followed that of her Ma-
jesty were Lady Gardiner (Lady of the Bed-Chamber), the
Hon. Misses Pitt and Murray (Maids of Honour ), Baroness
Lehzen, Lady Mary Stopford, Lordjorrington ( Lord in
Waiting), Major Keppel, Hon. Mr. Murray, Hon. Col. Ca-
vendish.
The Royal party proceeded to the Castle by the Lodge op-
posite to the Long Walk, but we ha.-e authority to state that
it was the Queen's intention to have passed through the town ;
and it was owing to a mistake that the officer commanding the
escort conducted her Majesty by this entrance.
The Earl of Albemarle arrived at the Castle shortly before
her Majesty.
The principal inhabitants of the town illuminated their
houses in honour of her Majesty's arrival.
To-day the Queen did not ride out.

THAMES TUNNEL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sts,—From a desire to see this great national work com-
pleted, and that foreigners may not laugh at John Bull for
beginning and not being able to complete it, I venture again,
through the medium of your valuable Journal, to offer a few
further remarks to the Committee for managing it.
Living at a distance of 200 miles from the Tunnel, and,
when I first addressed you, ke owing little about it except what
I learned from your Paper, I was not aware that there was, as
I now find there is, a deep superstratum of gravel, from whence
issue very considerable springs. This bed of gravel, it can
hardly be doubted, forms at the same time a receptacle and a
conductor for these springs.
Now, one general law, to which all springs ar:e subject, is
that, when impeded, or tuened aside from the channel in which
they have hitherto flowed, they will invariably take that direc-
tion where they meet with. the least resistance. Whether in
obedience to this general law—this law of nature—those
springs have not been forced into the Tunnel, is a question
for the consideration of the Committee. It would appear,
from the information I now possess, that it has not only been
attempted to check these springs by bags of clay or earth, but
absolutely to dam them up by a raft of timber, loaded with
upwards of 250 tons of pig iron, besides a considerable weight
of earth or clay. Thus, finding the least resistance in the di-
rection of the Tunnel, these springs have forced for them-
selves a passage into it. Whether they have their source from
the shore, or arise from the water deposited in the gravel at
high water, seems immaterial. The main question for con-
sideration is, how arc the evils arising from them to be pre-
vented ?

This seems perfectly easy. It is to remove the cause—the
stratum of gravel. This, I apprehend, may be easily and
safely done by means of the ballast lighters commonly used in
the river.

Till this is done, these springs will form a great, if not an
insuperable impediment to the completion of the work, the
methods hitherto taken for excluding the water from the river
necessarily tending to force the springs into the Tunnel.
Whether this magnificent work can be finished so long as
these springs remain, is a question I earnestly recommend to
the consideration of the Committee of Management, and
remain, Sir,

Your obliged humble servant,
Harrogate, Aug. 21. T. T.

LONDON UNIVERSITY.

We rejoice that the contest concerning. the proposed
examination in the Greek Testament has terminated amicably,
not in a compromise but in a concession. We stated on Fri-
day last that it had been resolved, almost unanimously, at a
meeting of twenty-five of the Senate, that the " examen" in
the Hebrew text of the Old Testament, and in the Greek text
of the New, and in Scripture history, shall be instituted, to be
followed by certificates of pro;lcit my, and that Candidates for
Degrees in Arts may, if they think proper, undergo such
examination. This is as at should be. Those who first sup-
plied this intelligence thought proper to couple it with this
slanderous praise :—" Dr. Arnold very handsomely waived, at
•least for the present. his objections to the measure, while the
two other members of the Sub-Committee in Classics, the
Bishop of Chichester and Dr. Jerrold, unreservedly acquiesce d
in it," &c. As if Dr. A. were an Oxford Jesuit, indulging
in mental reservation, and waiting for a more auspicious
moment after an infusion of more mtole:ant associates, under a
Tory Ministry, to renew his motion!! We are assured that
he is as incapable of such baseness as his present colleagues
are of seconding such a proceeding.
We have made no reply, and shall make none, to the cant
and virulence which these opposition papers were at liberty: o,
indulge in against the Ministry, who had not, like the lierak
and Standard, under a mistake, gone upon the other tack.
and sneered at them for their supposed contrary conduct. The
ignorant slanderer in the Post, who writes about the Athiests
of Gower-street and the Red Cross street library, probably
believes those bodies to be connected, and that library to be its.
stituted for the dissemination of infidelity, and supposes Dr.
13ye Smith to be one of the infidels. Not one of the declaim-
ers against the Dissenters is awr.re that it is the orthodox and
puritanical
class who have taken the lead in the opposition to
the apprehended indirect religious test, while the D:ssenters
of a more latitudinarian and soi disant rational character have
made no public declaration, and are understood to be more
divided in opinion, though of all classes a great majority be-
long to the protestors against the Oxford p7oposal.—orning

" We learn b 1 a letter of the 24th ult. from Cuxhaven,

a most majestic spect,.ele. Between seven and eight o'clock
in the evening the scene was heightened by a storm of thun-
der and lightning. In the night of the 21st the wind went
round to north, and a great fall of snow came, which conti-
nued the whole of the 22d, producing an effect rivalling the re-

which were preparing to take their departure, in consequence
o f the transitory thaw, were compelled to remain."

" TIIE Su ."—We cannot too often direct the
attention of our readers to this extraordinary instance of skill
and enterprise. Every day, at half-past ten o'clock in the
morning, we actually receive " The Sun" Newspaper, contain-
ing (our readers will scarce credit it) the speeches delivered
in both Houses of Parliament at seven o'clock the previous
evening! I And not only does Mr. Young perform this won-
der with unvarying regularity, but The Sun contains proceed-
ings of the Law Courts, and the most extensive and accurate
commercial intelligence that can be anywhere found. With
no other motive but that of admiration for an enterprising
contemporary, whose spirited exertions deserve the utmost
support, do we recommend all who wish to take a daily Lon-
dun paper to order The Sun. We are confident they will not
have received it a week, before they will thank us for recom-
mending to them the most really useful newspaper they ever
read,—Somerset County Gazette.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY.

Saturday a Commission was held at the Gray's Inn Coffee-
house to inquire into the state of mind of Pink() Lee, Esq., a
solicitor, late of Maidenhead. It was stated that Mr. Lee
was the eldest son of a genth'man who had held high rank in
the army, and who died in 1826, leaving the subject of this
inquiry heir to a considerable property. In 1830 Mr. Lee
was articled to a solicitor, but, in consequence of his drunken
habits and the low company he kept, that gentleman would
not allow him to remain in his house, His hard drinking
brought on delirium tremens, and his friends sent Lim down to
Maidenhead. While at this place he imagined that attempts
were made to poison him, and that several ladies of Ligit re-
spectability had leagued against him. He also rendered him-
self very conspicuous by running about the house with nothing
bnt his shirt on, throwing himself into grotesque postures in
the streets, and Ltching his water, milk, &c., for fear of being
poisoned. As his 'malady appeared to be increasing he was
sent to a private asylum at Kensington. Mr. Richard Gould-
ing, of Maidenhead, Dr. Sutherland, and others, were exa-
mined in support of the Commission. The Jury returned a
verdict that Mr. Pinke Lee was now of unsound mind, and
had been so since the 31st of August, 1835.

TALLOW AND OIL MARKET.

Oils continues languid, and prices present no variation.

COLONIAL MARKETS.

The return of the post checks the disposition which existed last week
to purchase. And should it continue, the demand will again become
slack. At present there is but litt'e business advertised for this week.
For to-morrow, Rice, Coffee, Mauritius and Barbadoes Sugar, are the
principal commodities. Today we have no public sales, and by private
contract but very little doing. Canadian produce remains very station-
ary. The Imports of all kinds of produce are rather better now than
they were.

the Address of the Legislative Council to Sir John Harvey, in reply to
his Speech. The house expresses its regret at the lamentable state to
which the neighbouring Province of Lower Canada had been reduced by
the treasonable and rebellious proceedings of a portion of its deluded inha-
bitants, but they felt assured that her Majesty's loyal subjects in the sur.
rounding colonies would, if necessary, readily and heartily assist in
preserving to the colonies and themselves the inestimable blessinirs of
the British connexion. The House cordially concurred in the expres-
sion of admiration of the loyalty and gallantry of the Militia of Upper
Canada.
Various Military Movements.—The Royal Artillery, under 'Major
Pringle, left on the Bth, for Fredcrickton, on route for Canada ; it was
expected that the 43d Regiment, under Colonel Booth, would reach
Quebec by the :27th of January. The other divisions, under Captains
Fraser and Bell, were also on their way to Quebec. The garrison
duty of New Brunswick was performed by the City Militia. The
Lieutenant-Governor and Commander-in-Chief had publicly thanked the
officers and men of the Ist Division of the York County Militia for
their zeal _ and attention in the absence of the Queen's troops."

" TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE LORD MET.BOURNE, AND OTHER
THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS OF HER MAJESTY'S TREASURY.
" THE MEMORIAL OF TIIE DIRECTORS OF THE CHAMBER OF

COMMERCE AT THE PORT OF HULL.

_Huniuly showed),

" That a very extensive business is carried on in Yorkshire,
and other parts of England and Scotlhnd, in the spinning and
manufacturing of linen yirns and linen, which, from a con-
tinually increasing demand for France and Belgium, in ad-
dition to the home market, has caused a very great outlay of
capital in improvements, been the means of bringing the manu-
facture to great perfection, and has afforded employment to a
large class oilier Majesty's subjects.
" That it appears to be the intention of the French Go-
vernmant considerably to increase their existing duties on
British yarns, ar.d to lay on enormous extra duties on British
linens.

" That your memorialists are also informed that the French
Government do not intend to increase their duties on thc3e
articles if manufactured in Belgium, on condition that the
Belgic Government raise their dutict on yarns and linens im-
portedfront Great Britain.

" That your memorialists beg respectfully to state, that if
the French and Belgic Governments increase their duties as
proposed it will be attended with great less to the manufac-
turers of those articles, as it will la many ca;:•s amount to a
prohibition therccf in either France or Belgium, deprive the
people of employment, and will also 'oe a greac irjnry to the

ATORDAN'S CHROMAPOLYGON, or
COLOURED GEOMETRICAL FIGURES.
In offering these Forms to the notice of the Public, Messrs.
Mordan and Co. are desirous of pointing out their utility, 23 a
source both of instruction and amusement.
To the younger members of the community they-afford an un-
limited field for the exercise of taste in the disposition and arrange-
ment of colours, and of judgment in the combination of regular and
discretionary figures. By a judicious employment of the various
shades of colour the perspective of Solid Geometrical Figures may
be produced, and thus an outline of the Science of Solid Geome-
try be insensibly acquired. Instruction will thus go hand in hand
with amusement.

As an inexhaustible source of brilliant ornament, they are ap-
plicable to the decoration of Albums, Screens, Workhouses, Card-
cases, and the other productions of Female taste and leisure.
In many of the Arts, as in that of Printing, whether on Calico,
Silk, Wood, Paper, Leather, or Metals, their importance is great ;
offering a ready and prolific source of Design. In the union of
colour and form much time will be saved to the Artist.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Dennis M'Carthy, a bricklayer's labourer, residing in
Buckridge-street, St. Giles's, was convicted of violently kick-
ing Emma Shelton, aged eleven years, in a certain part of
her person, and ordered to pay a fine of b/., or be committed
fur two months to hard labour in the House of Correction.
•It appeared that, about nine o'clock last night, the prisonv
was drunk in High-street, and conducting himself in a very dis-
orderly manner, and, as he refused to be quiet or go home, Par-
sons, of the F division took him into custody. On their way to the
station-house they came up with the child, whose parents live
in Dudley's-court, and for whom she was going of au errand.
The prisoner, without saying a word to her, committed the as-
sault, and she was taken home by a woman who witnessed the
occurrence, when it was found she had received a serious injury.
Mr. MiNstruta, directed the child, who was unable to stand,
to be put into a coach and conveyed to Charing Cross Hospital.
The prisoner accounted for his infamous conduct by saying
he was drunk, and didn't intend any harm.

SPORTING INTLI4,IGENCE.

TATTERSALL' s_ygsTERDA,

A considerable portion of the afternoon was occupied in settling
for the last day's racing at Newmarket ; many speculators, however,
did not take the trouble to settle either in person or by agent, so
that their accounts are likely enough to stand over till the spring ;
Great complaints were made on this neglect. Several bets were
made on the Derby ; Accelerator, Erin-go-Bragh, and Zimmer-
man were in request, but Epidaurus fell back several points, and 4
to 1 was betted against the whole lot. The only change in the
favourites was in Westonian and Flambeau, against whom there
were plenty of offers. The room closed as follows ;-

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

PERFECT AND OTHERS V. BIIEE.
Mr. DCNDAS said the plaintiffs in this case were the execu-
tors of a lad named Robinson, formerly of York, and the ac-
tion was brought to recover tro sums of money due from the
_defendant, the Rev. Robert Stephen Bree, to the estate of the
la(1)7. In the year 1827 he had incurred a debt to Mrs. Robinson,
and g,Te a promissory note for 685/. 16s. 101, which aas
n rw.in the hands of the executors. In 1835 he borrowed
1501 more, and these acre the sums claimed. The de-
fendant pleaded first, that ho made no promissory note
at all. Secondly, That it was obtained from him
by fraud and covin ; thirdly, that no consideration was given
for the note, and that it was a mere accommodation note ;
lastly, he pleaded the statute of limitation. He should, how-
ever, Completely nroye the giving of the note, and that within
t last two or three years an acknowledgment had been given
wiljell would dispose of the plea of limitation.
The note dated the Bth August, 1827, for 6861. 16s, 10d.

" At a time when all our compatriots are granted assist-
ance by the Government of this country, we undersigned Po-
lish refugees being deprivcd by the Council of the Literary
Association of the pretended friends of Poland of all means of
subsistence, and consequently by want of food, clothing, and
lodgings, are compelled to be injurious to the society in which
we live, and likewise to the cause of our unhappy country,
spoliating the name of emigrant by the involuntary miscon-
duct to which we are now exposed, we thus pray the autho-
rities of London to take us into custody, and keep us in order
to withhold us from unlawful actions—theft, murder, felony,
and suicide, being the necessary consequences of the utmost
misery in which we now remain.

Mr. TWYFORD asked what they bad been in the habit of re-
ceiving from the Association.
One of the applicants said that for two years they had re-
ceived 10s. a-week, but they now received nothing, and were
completely destitute.
Mr. TWTFORD inquired if any reason had been given for
stopping the payment of 10s. a week, and when it had been

stopped? - -
Applicant—The payment bas been stopped for about six
weeks; and what we want is to have a particular reason as-
signed for doing so. Since the Government has given no
support thirty-two have been struck off the list.
Mr. TWYFORD—I understand you to say that you have suf-
fered ii,jur'es from some quarter or another, and you are des.
titute ; and before being reduced to the last extremity you
apply at this office to know how to act.
The applicants said that that was just what they wanted.
Mr. TWYFORD—Have you•been at any other office ?
One of the applicants answered that they had not, being
desired to apply to the Magistrates at this office first.
Mr. TWYFORD—I can make no observation in regard to the
Literary Association ; but being destitute, I apprehend you
are entitled to pal ochial relief from the respective parishes in
which yeu live. Have you had any communication with the
Association ?

Applicant—Yes, we have written; but have received no
answer.

Mr. TWYFORD—Where have you last slept ?
Applicant—Some of us have slept in one parish and others
in another ; but many, not having the mean. to pay for a
bed, are too proud to go into lodgings without the pros-
pect of paying for them, and therefore walk the streets in
the night.
Mr. TWYFORD said that the only thing that he could advise
them to do was, to apply for parochial relief; but in the
meantime it might do them some service if their distressed
situation was made known to the public through the medium
of the newspapers.
The applicants then thanked the Magistrate for his atten-
tion to their case, and retired.
