Prince Polignac is destined to live, or rather, per-
haps, to die, in his prison at Ham. Every exertion had
been made for his release. The Princess de Polignac had
besieged every power capable of effecting this happy con-
summation. To her efforts were added the solicitations of

his relatives, the Duke de Polignac, the Duke and Duchess
de Grammont, the Macdonalds and the Rancliffes—and
the Countess Sebastiani, niece of Prince Polignac, but to
no effect. M. de Polignac will not apply for his liberation,
because he considers he would he recognising Louis Philippe
as King of France, and breaking his oath of fealty to his
former master and friend. The Prince has not only ex-
pressed his determination to remain in prison, under present
circumstances, but has likewise intimated that he disavows
every application that may be made by his friends or re-
latives for his release.—llforning Paper.

which have been propagated relative to the matrimonial
projects of the King of the Two Sicilies. It announces

manded at Vienna, in the name of his Majesty, the hand of
her Imperial Highness the Archducess Theresa, daughter
of the Archduke Charles. The Emperor gave his consent
to the marriage, which is to take place in January next.
We are authorised to contradict, in the most posi-
tive manner, all the ridiculous statements which have from
time to time appeared in the public papers respecting va-
rious speculations in omnibuses and stage coaches to Bou-
logne, said to have been entered into by Lord Henry Sey-
mour, as well as the equally unfounded assertions so confi-
dently made of exhibitions of his Lordship's equipage, &c.,
on the Boulevards during the carnival, his Lordship never
having, during his existence, entered into any speculations,
commercial or otherwise, whatsoever ; nor has any carriage
or vehicle of any description belonging to his Lordship ever
once appeared at a carnival. Had his Lordship not been
annoyed by daily applications from numerous individuals,
misled by the above absurd reports (no doubt meant as
clever jokes), he would not have wished us to contradict
them.—Galignani.

that the officer mentioned as having been arrested, is not
a Lieutenant-General, but a chef d'escadron, named Bruc,
not in active service, resident at St. Louis. This officer
was to have been at Strasburg on the day of the attempt.
A Captain of Engineers, named Barrade, has also-been ap-

EMINENT SINGERS.—Among the syrens of song
there are perhaps none who have so rapidly earned a high

Smith. They are the most successful debutantes of the day,
and the brightest stars that have been seen at St. James's,
or indeed at any other theatre. The truth, sweetness, and
simplicity. of the latter Lady, strikingly reminds us of her
distinguished relative, Miss Stephens.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS IN EXETER.—A large
number of country gentlemen attended at the New London

. -
Inn in this city on Saturday last, in consequence of the
announcement that the renowned Prince of Auctioneers,
Mr. George Robins, would knock down some extensive
landed property in this county. The shrewd and facetious
knight of the hammer, on making his appearance, was eyed
with much curiosity by many of the wondering spectators,
and, on mounting his rostrum, provoked a smile of satisfac-
tion from every one, by his exceedingly humourous and
good-natured countenance. He commenced operations
with (for him) a small property, known as " Warren
House," near Dawlish, which, having duly described, as per
instructions, he disposed of at a good price, namely 1,650/.
He then proceeded to enlarge on the beauties and valu-
able qualities of the Coombsatchfield-house estate, in the
course of which he administered comfort to the landowners
and farmers, by assuring them that every thing in the agri-
cultural line was " looking up,' and that they would, in a
very short time, if they were not already, be themselve3
again ! He declared that such was the rise in the value
of land, and such the eagerness of capitalists to possess
themselves of good estates, that he had sold Sir F. Good-
ricke's estate in Yorkshire at the rate of 33,i years purchase,
and that he was assured, if gentlemen lost the present oppor-
tunity, it would be some time before they would be enabled to
obtain another such estate in this county as that of Coomb-
satchfield. Mr. George Robins displayed considerable tact and
an unbounded flow of ready and pungent wit, much to the
amusement of the audience, introducing a good share of
compliment upon the healthy climate and other desirable
qualities of our far-famed Devon, whither, when he could
make two or three hundred a years a retiring pension, he
assured them he had determined'arome, and sit in his easy
chair to the end of his days! He took occasion, too, to
disabuse the landed proprietors of Devonshire of the erro-
neous notion that had got abroad, as to the enormous ex-
pense of having him down from London to view estates
before the time of sale—his charges, he said, were very
moderate, and the advantage of his examining places, to give
the best description of them, must be obvious. He sup-
posed the erroneous. notion alluded to had prevented his
being requested to view the Coombsatchfield Estate before
he came down to sell it, owing to which he was not able to
give
that dessription he could have wished. The bidding
went on with good spirit, and having exhausted all Ilia
powers of persuasion to obtain another " hundred," Mr.
Robins knocked down the Estate, for Nineteen Thousand
Five Hundred Guineas, to Mr. Wright, of Tiverton, for
the Hon. Capt. Wyndham. We hear the price obtained
was far beyond that fixed by the owner.---IVooliner's Exeter
and Plymouth Gazette.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, IS3rr.

labours have been to a very great extent successful, and
gratitude, the proverbial virtue of Irishmen, demands a
recognition of the important benefits which his splendid ta-
lents have been the means of procuring for Ireland. We
have at this moment a Reforming Government, whose chief
bond of union and claim to the confidence of the United
Kingdom, is a principle inculcated by Dr. Doyle many years
ago. For he it was who first showed the necessity of
"appropriating" the excess of the Church Establishment
in Ireland to national purposes. He not only showed
the necessity, but he demonstrated the legality of such
a principle in his celebrated letter to Spring Rice in
1831 "on a provision for the Irish poor." And though
the present Ministry have not literally adopted his sug-
gestion, by endeavouring, in their ecclesiastical legisla-
tion, to allocate whatever surplus of tithe income may be
hereafter available, to the poor—they have done so in prin-
ciple, when they proposed to " appropriate" it to the edu-
cation of the people. But, this is not the only point of
view in which he may be regarded as a benefactor. His
evidence before different Committees of Parliament, and
his writings, abound with maxims and lessons of political
wisdom, which the more enlightened statesmen of every party
have been adopting, as suited to the exigencies by which
they have been pressed. He is generally regarded as the
promoter of " passive resistance" to the payment of tithes.
But he did not inculcate this doctrine among the dissenters
from the Established Church, before Mr. Goulburn had ren-
dered it to a certain extent legal, by his Tithe Act of 1823.
In that Act Quakers are indemnified against any costs which
their non-payment of tithe composition might seem to entail
on them. Dr. Doyle thought, that as Quakers did not dissent
more widely from the Church Establishment than do
Roman Catholics, the latter might reasonably expect the
same indulgence from the legislation which, at Mr. Goul-
burn's instance, the former had received. In this opinion
every honest and intelligent man in the empire coincides ;
as well as in the other opinions which the Rev. Prelate has
circulated respecting the only honest, safe, and equitable
mode of governing this country. Lord Wharncliffe has
attested this the other day at the Tory dinner in Halifax,
when he declared that it was unreasonable to expect Dis-
senters to support an Establishment from which they derived
no benefit. When, therefore, we find rational men of every
party approximating so much in their views as to Ireland,
why is not an effort made to unite them in policy ? Why
does not More O'Ferrall, and other talented men, seize upon
such incidents as are calculated to develope the honesty and
soundness of the principles on which he and his colleagues
are now proceeding ? The occasion of commemorating Dr.
Doyle's services to his country, would seem to be an oppor-
tunity for predicating the political course which he had so
ably pointed out, and in which the most wise and virtuous
of mankind are disposed to follow. Pitt's policy was never
more clearly developed, than has the policy, which must be
pursued in this country, been by the writings of our patrio-
tic Churchman. At a period, therefore, when Reformers
ought to unite together, might not the memory of this grea
man be rendered conducive to such an union ? It migl
have been thought of sooner, but it is not yet too late.
