BRIGHTON, FEB. 13.

Their MAJESTIES attended divine service this morning
at the Royal Chapel. Prince GEORGE of Cambridge,
Sir ANDREW BARNARD, Lord and Lady ERROL, Mrs.
Fox, and Mademoiselle n'EsTE were present. The Prin-
cess AUGUSTA and the Landgravine attended divine service
also. The Rev. H. M. WAGNER preached an eloquent
and impressive sermon, taking his text from the 25th
chapter of St. Matthew and 14th verse. The Rev. Dr.
EVERARD read the prayers. The body of the chapel was
crowded with nobility and gentry.
This evening their MAJESTIES will have sacred music
at the Palace.

The KING did not leave the Palace yesterday. In the
course of the day Count MUNSTER had the honour of an
audience of his MAJESTY.

Her MAJESTY took an airing on horseback, and was
accompanied by Mrs. Fox, Mademoiselle n'EsTx, Miss
MITCHELL, the Earl of ERROL, Sir ANDREW BARNARD,
Lord BELFAST, and a numerous suite. Her MAJESTY
looks remarkably well and enjoys excellent health.
The Duke of SUSSEX drove out both on Friday and
yesterday. The Margravine, with Miss WILSON and the
Marchioness of ELY, drove iu a carriage and four through
several parts of the town. The Princess AUGUSTA and
Miss WYNYARD took a carriage airing. Lady ERROL
drove in an open barouche. The fineness of the weather
drew forth most of the fashionahles on the drive and Pro-
menade. The Duchess of ST, ALBAN'S, Lady BEDDING-
FIELD, the Duchess of ROXBURGH, and the Duchess of
LEEDS, were on the drive.
The Royal :dinner party yesterday included the Duchess
Dowager of LEEDS, the Marquis and Marchioness of CAR-
MARTHEN, Marchioness WELLESLEY, Miss CATON, and
Colonel PROTT. On Friday their MAJESTIES honoured
the following persons with invitations to the royal dinner,
Colonel WALLACE, Sir H. and Lady MATILDA WYNYARD,
Colonel DOWNMAN, Colonel GREY, anti Colonel PROTT.
Their MAJESTIES have select parties each evening • the
Queen's Band has been in constant attendance. MICHAEL
BOA', the chin performer, had the honour of performing
before their MAJESTIES on Friday evening.
The Marquis CAMDEN left the Palace for London.
Viscount VALLETORT has arrived, and joined the royal
suite at the Pavilion.
Their MAJESTIES intend giving a splendid fete at Wind-
' sor on a scale more extensive than that given here. Their
MAJESTIES feel so solicitous for the amelioration of the
condition of the trade and p nor of Ireland, that the pre-
sence of Irish Nobility and Gentry, who are not corn-
pelled by official or other imperative duties to visit this
country, would be willingly dispensed with at present.
The calls at the Palace have been exceedingly numerous
on Friday and Saturday, and include most of the fashion-
ables at present in Brighton, viz.—The Dowager Duchess
of LEEDS, the Duchess of ROXBURGH, Marquis and Mar-
chioness CARMARTHEN, Marquis and Marchioness of
BRISTOL, Marchioness of WELLESLEY, Lord W. HER-
VEY, Lord and Lady JAMES O'BRIEN, Lord JOHN
TowssnEND, Lady TEMPLETON, Lady MATILDA WYN.
YARD, Lady FALKINER, Sir.JOAN BURGOYNE, Colonel
and Mrs. PAREER, Lady FARQUHAR, Lady RTCROFT,
Sir A. DALRYMPLE, Sir H. Ross, Sir CHARLES PRATT,
Sir GEORGE and, Lady WEsTrusr..L, Sir F. COLLIER, Sir
G. and Lady Pococx, General and Mrs. RIALL, General
UPTON, Lady SUSAN HOTHAM, Sir 0. and Lady Glass,
General SEWELL, Colonel CLIVE, Alderman and Mrs
GARRATT, Mr. LESLIE, Sir CHARLES DOTLE, Mr. and
Mrs. GEORGE MORGAN, Colonel and Mrs. MACLAINE,
Captain THORTON, &c.

We learn from a source to which we give
credit, that the Royal prerogative is about to be most gi a-
ciously exercised in the restoration to his rank and honours
of that distinguished naval officer Lord COCHRANE.—
Court Journal.

The Rev. Dr. ANDREW THOMSON died on
Wednesday evening, at Edinburgh. He was just returning
home from a meeting of Presbytery, and having met a
friend at the west-end of Prince's-street, he was giving
hint an account of the proceedings which had taken place.
This gentleman walked along with him to his own door,
where, stopping for a moment, as if he wished to say
something more, be muttered some words indistinctly, and
instantly fell down on the pavement. He was carried into
his own house in a state of insensibility, but on opening a
vein only a few ounces of blood flowed, and he expired.

RICHMOND REFORM MEETING.—On Mon-
day last a public meeting of the clergy, gentry, bankers,
merchants, tradesmen, and inhabitants of Richmond, in
this county, was held in the Common-hall, pursuant to a
requisition numerously and respectably signed, " for the
purpose of taking into consideration the proFiety of peti-
tion►ng the Legislature for an effectual Reform in the
Commons' House of Parliament, for economy and re-
trenchment in the expenditure of the public money and for
the support of the principles of nun-interference in the in-
ternal affairs of other nations."—Leeds Mercury.

REFORM.—" In regard to the extent to which
the agitation may go, I should apprehend Europe will
hardly bound it. The combat will be renewed again and
again between old superstition and young enthusiasm, and
the issue will, I dare say, be generally favourable to the
last."—(See HOME'S Essay on Superstition and Enthu-
siastn.)—" My notion is, that all Governments will finally
be reduced to the system of utility, and that in proportion
as they now differ from this, may the changes be expected
to be. Judging in this way, our own Government re-
quires, I think, reformation only. "—Mem. of Dr. Currie
The life of F.isBLI, which will accompany
the forthcoming and anxiously-expected Literary Works of
that celebrated artist, is not only an amusing biography
of the man himself, but also a history of the Royal
Academy and of English Art for the last sixty years.
The memoir, which, front the perfectly original and ec
cantric character of its subject, must be unusually interest-
ing, contains numerous recollections of distinguished
characters with whom the painter held constant inter-
course; such, for example, as the late Mr. COUTTS,
JOHNSON, the bookseller, SMOLLETT, FALCONER, ANGE-
LICA KAUFFSEANN, LAVATEIt, GARRICK, Sir JOSHUA
REYNOLDS, Dr. ARMSTRONG, Mr. WEST, Mr. Roscor,
CowrEa, the poet, BOYDELL, Mrs. WOOLSTONECRAFT,
OPIE, Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE, &C.

The thaiv on Tuesday caused the Severn to
overflow its banks and inundate the low-lands. Hay-
stacks, timber, and outlying agricultural implements were
swept off in one general ruin, and even dweliing-bouses
and outbuildings shared the same fate. On Wednesday a
bargeman in a fishing coracle sailed for a wager over the
town walls at Roushill, near Shrewsbury. In some of the
houses the water was from six to seven feet deep on the
floor, and in some cottages at Roushill it covered the first
story almost to the ceiling.—Ehrewsbury Chronicle.

Tb
eEe nA al
havSe t-eßlyolnA4Tzt---0 Of the many attempts that
prevent the loss of power arising
from the oblique position of the paddles when entering and
leaving the water, none seem to have succeeded in practice,
at least on the sea; Leither is it likely that any contri-
vance which requires the paddle-wheels to consist of
moveable parts, will be practicable; for, should the ma-
chinery of such a wheel be damaged or out of order, it is
impossible to get at it in any but the calmest weather.—
While ingenious projectors were thus at work to remedy
an evil by difficult means, it appears to have occurred to
some one, that increased speed might be obtained by an
easier process than altering the wheels, anti that by in-
creasing the length of the vessel, retaining the same ma-
chinery, an advantage scarcely to have been anticipated
was the result. One of the Margate steamers was
lengthened last year, and performed the voyage, cettris
paribus, in half an hour less time than she had done be-
fore; and at present several steamers are undergoing the
same process.--Athenourn.
