THE KING, &c.

WINDSOR, Nov. 23.—l'esterday afternoon his MAJESTY
enjoyed nearly three hours driving about the Great Park in his
pony phaeton, during which time he visited Virginia Water,
Sandpit Gate, and Cranbourn Lodge, where alterations are
making under his Majesty's superintendance, which serve to
occupy • his attention during his airings. his Majesty, as
usual, was accompanied by the Lord Steward, and attended
by two out-riders, and we are happy to state he continues in
the enjoyment of excellent health and spirit. His Majesty'
took his departure from the Royal Lodge this afternoon in his
pony phaeton, accompanied by the Lord Steward, for an airing
in the Great Park, at two o'clock. The weather being cold.
his Majesty takes the precaution of being thickly coated when
out of doors. There is no alteration at the Royal Lodge, nor
any thing authentic respecting either his Majesty's stay or de-
parture for London, but it is generally expected that his Ma-
jesty will pass the Christmas, as last year, in the Great Park,
and go to London in January, for a month or six weeks.—The
Princess Augusta took an airing yesterday, attended by her
Lady in Waiting.

NAPLES, OCT. 31.-IVe have sustained a great
loss by the death of the celebrated 0101tAITNI Mama Ln.r.
QUIT!, Director of the Royal_ Asylum for the Insane, at
Aversa, whose name is so honourably known in Europe. He
was born at 3luMatt in 1774. He was very early distinguished
by his learning, and at first studied the law, but soon left it
for a monastic life in the convent of the Suriti. Being after-
wards obliged, by political events, to lay aside his religious ha-
bit, and assume that of a secular priest, he was received as a
friend in the house of the illustrious Berio Marquis of Salsa,
in whose library he had an opportunity of extending
the sphere of his knowledge, especially in what relates
to the physical and moral nature of man, of which an irre-
fragable proof was given by the first volume of his
Richerche sill ' Alsenzeone mentak. But the origin of his great
reputation is to be dated from the time of his being appointed t
direct the Royal Asylum at A versa. Linquiti was one of the
first who perceived that insanity is a disease peculiar to the rea-
soning animal man,—having its origin in reason, never entirely
departs from that origin; that the insane are not so in every
thing, or at all times ; that we can, and ought to try, to restore
their reason by reason ; and that the chief, if not the only me-
dicine in an hospital for the insane, is the luminous in-
telligence of the person who directs it. The principle
which guided Linquiti in the treatment of lunatics,
was founded in this eduction : he began by considering
them as sane, took care that every one should follow the usual
exercise of his art and condition, and established his- new sys-
tern of cure on the basis of occupation and amusement ; occu-
pation for the versatility of the ideas of the maniacs, and amuse-
ment against the fixed ideas of the melancholy. The results
of this method were so successful, that our new establishments
of this description soon became celebrated throughout Europe.
The health of Chevalier Linquiti had been on the decline from
7815 to his death, which took place on the 17th of September
last.

PALERMO, OCT. I7.—A man named IGNAZIO
RonERTo, of Troina in Sicily, has invented a
machine with which ships may be moved by
hand, instead of the dangerous steam-engines.
Three persons, one of whom works an hour and
rests himself two hours, are sufficient to move a
vessel of 20 tons (400,000 lbs.), and so in pro-
portion for larger vessels. The expence of the
machine is from 600 to 1000 ducats. lie affirms
that he has made repeated trials of it; he offers
to apply it to any vessel for which it may be re.
quired, and indemnify the proprietor for the first
two trials if this machine should not act satisfac-
torily.

IMPERIAL DISTILLERY COMPANY.-The Share-
holders who had signed the deed of settlement of this Com-
pany, were called by public advertisement to meet yesterday at
Batson's Coffee-house, Cornhill, in order to take measures for
recovering from the Directors the amount of their respective de-
posits, inasmuch as the conditions and terms stated in the pro-
spectus had not been fulfilled. Very few shareholders attended
at the appointed hour, and the gentleman who called the rneet-
ing, not wishing to act without the concurrence of a majority
of the persons interested, declared an adjournment to a day
within the next week, to be fixed by an early advertisement ;
though some shareholders present seemed to think the meeting
sufficiently full to proceed to business. In the course of con-
versation it was stated that the projectors of this association ori-
ginally stipulated with its members that their stock should con-
sist of 12,000 shares of 501. each, but that of these shares not
more than 1,400 were ever sold ; notwithstanding which, the
Directors thought proper to purchase most expensive premises,
to which their funds were totally inadequate. On each share
two instalments (amounting to 101.) have already been paid.

Count WILLIAM VON HOIIENTRAL, having
laid down his offices in the Kingdom of Saxony,

THE THEATRES.
--moo.—

DaLTRY-L ANE.— The Midnight Hour, a very
pleasant Drama., part ly translated from the French,
and rendered into English by Mrs. INGHBALD,
with all that neatness and spirit which peculiarly
marked her dialogue, was last night brought for-
ward in the shape of an Opera, and with the title
of The Wager. The Piece, as written by Mrs.
INCRUALO, was 50 Well constructed, and so en-
tertaining, that it seemed needless to change its
form or to add to its fable. But this is a musical
age, and as several of the Plays of SHAKsmt RE have
been disfigured with songs, it is no wonder that
other works should undergo the same fate. The
music of this piece is partly extracted from
MOZART, PUCITTA, PORTOGALLO, and other
foreign masters, and partly original compositions
of Mr. I'. CooKE, by whom the whole was
selected, compiled, anti arranged. The piece
was so well represented by I)ow'roN, HAI: LET,
J. RUSSELL, T. CooKE, HORN, Miss CUDITT, atid
Miss KELLY, that it was received with great ap-
plause, and is likely to be very attractive.
CO VE N T-G ARD EN .—71 e of Figaro
was represented last night at this Theatre.—
Mad Ame VF;Tius acted ,Vitsanna, with all that
ease, spirit, and naivel(l., which have rendered
her so great a favourite with the public.—
Mrs. CtIATTERLY was not less successful in
The Page, and the piece altogether seamed
highly to gratify the audience. This amusing
drama was followed by the Romance of Aladdin,
brought forward with additional splendour. M.
MAZ U RI ER introduced a Chinese dance, in which

tis agility was so surprising, that the audience,
n the most vehement manner, demanded a repe-
ltion of it. F n.LEY in vain, for some time, at-
.empted to obtain a hearing. At length, however,
to was heard, and he apologized for the non-re-
)(.tition of the dance, alleging, that as M. M
was to perform The Tho:ilian Manky af-
:erward.;, the exertion would be too great. This
plan was_ admitted, attention was restored, and
We whole was much applauded.

MR. KEAN IN THE UNITED STATES.

The following article, which appears " in the
most distinguished part" of the New YOr Daily
Advertiser of the 2.9 th ult. is strongly expressive
of public feeling in the United States with re-
gard to Mr. KEts, whose arrival was daily ex-
pected. There seems to be very little doubt that
he will be driven from the American stage with
the general execrations of the whole people :

" It was not our intention, after the few remarks we publish-
ed some time since, to have taken any further notice of Mr
Kean. But the course of reasoning which has been adopted
in some of the newspapers induces us to advert to the subject
again. The argument advanced in favour of this actor is—
that in this country we have nothing to do with Mr. Bean's
condUct or character in England. The amoant of this rea-
soning is—that should the greatest villain in Europe come
to the United States, for the purpose of lecturing on man-
ners and morals, it is perfectly reputable and proper for
our citizens to go to his school, because we have no con-
cern in any thing he may have said or done in so distant a
part of the world as Europe. Some time since, three villains
by the name of Thurtell, hunt, and Probert, in the most
cold-blooded and savage manner, murdered a companion, and
robbed him of his money. They were arrested, tried, and con-
♦icted. 'Mortell was executed, Hunt was transported to Bo-
tany Bay, and Probert pardoned. Suppose. Hunt had been
sent to this country instead of New South Wales, and, as he
had musical talents, bad offered to instruct young ladies in
music, would fathers and mothers have adopted the kind of
logic above referred to, and said, we have no concern in Mr.
Hunt's character or conduct in England ? All we wish to
know is, whether he understands music—if he does, notwith-
standing he has committed murder in England, we will place
our daughters under his instruction here.
" If the celebrated Mr. Fauntleroy, who was lately hung in
England for forgery, had escaped from prison, and found his
way to the United States, and had advertised in this city to give
lectures on banking and commercial integrity—would he have
found pupils
" Mr. Kean has been convicted of foul adultery—he de-
bauched the wife of his friend and patron—he destroyed the
peace and happiness of a respectable family—and then, with
the most unblushing assurance, undertook to exhibit himself
on the English stage for the amusement of the public. Ile
was received, by the respectable part of the audience, with every
mark of reproach and indignation. Those who looked upon
the crime that he had been guilty of as not being ' an object of
legitimate attention,' endeavoured to support him there—pro-
bably people of the same description will do so here. But we
are persuaded that no friend to virtue, no man who considers
female delicacy and purity 4 as objects of legitimate attention,'
will countenance a man on the New York stage, whose cha-
racter and conduct are blighted with this species of pollution."

Professor LESLIE, in his introductory lecture on
Tuesday, had a piece of gratifying intelligence to
communicate to his class. A gentleman of emi-
nent talents and distinguished benevolence had
placed at his disposal a donation of 2001. to be
employed in enlarging the physical cabinet con-
nected with the class ; he had further destined
the suurn of 501. annually for two prizes to the
more advanced pupils ; and for the present year
he had promised an additional sum of 751., to be
given as prizes for the two best essays on Comets
to candidates who had studied at this University.
The conditions to be annexed to these trials of
proficiency were not yet settled. For the present
session, it was proposed to admit as competitors
for the two prizes all those who join the
Natural Philosophy class this season, and have
attended it before within a period of five years.
The prizes are to be awarded in March next-201.
with a gold medal of the value of 101., for the
best essay ; 201., with a silver medal of the same
size, for the next in merit. The 751. previously
mentioned will be expended in prizes for the best
essays upon the subject given, and for which all
those who have studied at Edinburgh University
within the last ten years will be invited to con-
tend. For these liberal donations they were in-
debted to Mr. FeHowes, of Ityegate, in Surrey ;
whom the late worthy and learned Baron Ma-
seres had selected to be the heir of his fortune;
and who had seized this occasion to testify his re-
spest for the University of Edinburgh, and his per-
sonal regard for the Professor as an intimate
private friend of the deceased. "If these first
marks of his favour," said the Professor, 64 produce
the good effects that may be anticipated, it is pos-
sible that we may yet obtain more substantial proofs
of his patronage." Professor Leslie made honour-
able mention, at the same time, of the conduct
of the magistrates and town council, the patrons ;
who with a lsberality that augured better times
had granted him a sum, ane promised further
supplies, for procuring additional apparatus.—
