the Order should henceforth consist of twenty-five Knights,
and such descendants of his Majesty King GEORGE I. as

row evening. Fifty rooms have been taken for her High-
ness's suite at the Plough Hotel, and arrangements are
making for their stay here for several weeks.
The subscription ball at the Rotunda last evening was

There were upwards of 300 persons present.

RESTORATION OF MISS WELLESLEY.

This young lady returned on Friday night with her bro-
ther, and a friend of her father's, whom it had been found
necessary to send to Paris, in order to overcome the reluc.
tance of the infants to return to the guardianship pro-
vided for them by the Court of Chancery. The party
left Paris on Wednesday, and came up the Thames by the
London steam-boat from Calais, which reached the Tower
between seven and eight o'clock in the evening of Friday.
The whole party visited Mr. Wellesley in the Fleet, be-
fore proceeding for their destination for the evening in
Dover-street. The interview between the father and his
children, in the gaol, is said to have been of the most af-
fecting nature ; and the humanity of Mr. Brown, the
warden, induced him to grant an allowance of twenty
minutes beyond the time usually allowed for prisoners
to see their friends. An intimation was made to Loid
Brougham without loss of time, by the gentlemen who
went over to Paris on behalf of Mr. Wellesley, to persuade
the infants to return ; and between eleven and twelve
o'clock on Saturday, the young lady was taken down to Lin-
coln's inn in Mr. Long Wellesley's carriage, in which also
were Messrs. Capron and Rowley (Mr. Wellesley's solici-
tors), Mrs. Long Wellesley, and Sir Felix Agar. The
ward was taken into his Lordship's private room by Mrs,.
Wellesley, into whose hands she was returned by his Lord •
ship, for the purpose, as we understood, of her taking her
to his Lordship's private residence in Berkeley-square,
where she was received by Lady Brougham. It is said,
that nothing but the assurance that their father could not
be released from prison, overcame the reluctance of the
children to return from Paris, where they were under the
special protection of the French Government and police.
In consequence of the annoyance to which they were sub-
ject from the English police officer, the man-servant of
the Misses Long, and a medical individual, who were
sent to recover possession of the infants, it became neces-
sary to appeal for protection to the head of the police, and
to the Chancellor of France. From these authorities, the
strongest assurances of personal security and the protec-
tion of the laws of France were given. Had any attempt
been made to execute, by force, the warrants sent from this
country, the parties would have been sent to the galleys for
a term of years, the French laws being extremely severe
in such cases. Miss Wellesley is an exceedingly genteel
and pretty-looking girl. Both she and Mrs. Wellesley
were in tears as they ctme out of the Chancellor's room.

(ADDITIONAL PARTICULAUS.)
Mrs. Long Wellesley, attended by Sir Felix Agar, was
in attendance at the Lord Chancellor's house in iierkeley-
squire, from half-past twelve till past four o'clock, when
his Lordship arrived from Court. Both in his private
room at the Court of Chancery ar.tl in Berkeley-square, we
understand the young lady manifested a strong indispositisa
to be taken away from her parent ; and it was fQr.r.d neces-
cessary in Berkeley-square to employ force, the Lord Cha-
ncellor's presence, to separate her. The scene, we have been
informed, was too distressing for Lady Brougham to tic pre-
sent to witness. Miss Wellesley was immediately placed
in a chaise between two persons, who bad the appearance
of °Ricers, and taken out of tawn. It is supposed she
was carried back to this Misses Long. Mrs. Long Wel-
lesley was handed into her carriage by Lord Brougham,
who presently afterwards left town hic.:;eii in a travelling
chariot and four.

CoLossEum.—Her NIA,IESTY, accom-
panied by the Duchess of Sax-Wstataa, the Duke of
Saxx-MIIININGEN, and attsaded by the Duchess of Wrzta
MEATH and Lord FRKDERICX FITZCLATIENCE, apin visited
the Col:,'aseum on Wednesday, and went vier the whole of
the exhibition, of which her MAJESTY and party were
please„l to express the;; highest admiration. With the
Grotto and :klaaine Cave they were much gratied. The '
thundar-storm on the above day came ov, after the arrival
of her MAJESTY, and continued the whole time of her visit.
GOODWOOD RAVES.—The races termmated
on Friday, of which we gave a short account in oar Paper
of Saturday. It is gratifying to tle able to state that in
every respect they fully catr.a. -4:,p to our expectations. The
sport was of the faaasidescription, the company inflnitrly
more cutnerous than at any former meeting, mid the
weather favourable. The prospects for next year are of a
still more flattering niture. upwards of 30 noblemen
and gentlemen haye alrezaty subscribed to the Gold Cop,
' nearly 4,0 to the Drawing-room Stakes, and bow= 60
ar.d 70 to the Goodwood Stakes. Two, oz three other
stakes are also liberally supported., MaaEsxv has two
subscriptions to each pf he principal races. The valr,e
of the sAaa rind plate paid to the different winners at
this maeting was between 5,0001. and cc,0002, His MA-
' JESTY'S famous mare Flettr-c3jeaLia ran her last race far
the Gold Cup. Saii, is now at Hampton Coort, and will
"and thirteenen late
ehesr 4c six years
atra has won nine
amounting to about
gb,e,idtuer4.ds,
5,000/. and has prov,4 serself to he, the best ware that
has been bred for many years. It w0e,13 be well if the
same method of 4tarting horsea, ::Id.pted at Goodwood was
practised at other inea'.4.as. There was nnt one false
start, althoue, ;here were fifteen horses in one race, and
thirteen in two, others. Mr, Rovaaatarc has obtained
great credit for the clever wanner in which he performs
this difficult task. Nope of the races on Friday require
any panic:tiara in addition to those already vett. All
were won cleverly.
