NOTES.

The King's visit to the theatre last evening was a
profitable affair, the treasurer receiving not less than
2,500 francs.
As his Majesty entered the box, all in the house
rose and cheered ; in acknowledgment he waved his
hand, which was heartily grasped (and as heartily pressed
in return) by an English gentleman named Brosher,
who cried " God bless you, Louis Philippe."
When the King was leaving the theatre the Royal
carriages drove up, but he refused to enter them, and
went homeward on foot. As the crowd pressed closely
round to obtain a nearer view, one of the soldiers drew
his sword to drive them back, which the King observed,
and begged him to sheathe it, for that it was unneces-
sary among his faithful people in Boulogne.
Scarcely had he arrived at the Hotel d'Orleans,
situate at the corner of the street in which the theatre
stands, when it came on to rain, and he set off at a
gentle trot, accompanied by guards and attendants run-
❑ing at the same pace.
As the Royal party were returning from the review,
a poor fisherman, who bore a paper in his hand, made
his way among the horses, and placed himself between
the King and his son Nemours. At first he was un-
observed, all eyes being directed to the crowded win-
dows and their lair occupants. The poor man,:who looked
only less pale than alabaster, placed his hand on the
King's horse to attract attention, when Louis Philippe
looked down, and observing what it was, kindly nodded
to the man, and motioned him to place the petition in
the hands of his son. This was scarcely done before he
was driven away by the gendarmes.

SHIPWRECK OF THE KING AND

ROYAL FAMILY OF FRANCE.

CALAIS, AUG. 18,

The King, Madame Adelaide, their Royal High-
nesses the Duke and Duchess of Nemours, the Prin-
cess Clementine, the Dukes of Aumale and of Mont-
pensicr, accompanied by the Ministers of War, of the
Marine, and of the Interior, embarked at Eu on the
16th inst., at twelve o'clock at night, their intention
being to touch at Boulogne,. which her Majesty the
Queen was to reach by land.
The weather having become very stormy, the Veloce,
after having tried to enter the harbour of their destina-
tion, was obliged to make for Calais. At two o'clock in
the afternoon of the 17th the Royal. steamer was in sight
of the latter port, and guns were fired to announce the
arrival and to signal a pilot. At half-past two the 'ves-
sel was threading the Channel, when the violence of
waves and wind bore her away on the works of the new
jetty, where she grounded in a situation of imminent
peril, after experiencing some damage in her hull.
As soon as it was possible to effect a debarkation the
King ordered all aboard to be landed, and determined
to remain the last on deck.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1840.

The inhabitants of the place, who thronged the
shore, received the august travellers with an enthu-
siasm of devotion proportional to the imminence of the
danger, and the intense anxiety which they had expe-
rienced on beholding it.

The King declined entering his carriage, and tra-
versed on foot, and without escort, the assembled crowd
amidst the most cordial acclamations. _ .

At half-past three his Majesty, the Princes, and the
Ministers passed the review of the National Guard and
the troops. He testified the pleasure he experienced at
the loyal manifestations of the National Guard.
At five the Queen was seen coming by land from
Boulogne, in the anxious hope of beholding her family,
which was known to be exposed to the dangers of the
stormy element. Her interview with her family, amidst
thousands of spectators, was affecting in the extreme.
Au hour later the tow❑ parted with its august guests,
who left for Boulogne.

NAV AL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Brighton Gazette.)
PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 19.—The Vanguard, 84, Cap-
tain Sir D. Dunn, is prevented proceeding to sea, owing
to the want of seamen to complete her complement ; as
is likewise the Rodney, 92, Captain Maunsell. These
ships will proceed to the Mediterranean, when manned.
The Inconstant, 36, Captain Pring, C. 8., was still at
Cork on the 14th inst., raising volunteer seamen for the
navy, but having been very unsuccessful both there and
at Dublin, was shortly to return to Plymouth.
The Earl of Minto, with Sir William Parker, and
Sir Thomas Troubridge, Lords of the Admiralty, are

Adelaide, 120, are forthwith to be taken into dock, and
prepared for sea service. The Pembroke, 72, and
Imaun, 72, are also preparing for the pendant.
Sir Charles Adam, one of the Lords of the Admi-
ralty, is to succeed Sir Robert Stopford in The com-
mand of the Mediterranean fleet, and is to proceed
thither in the Britannia, 120, now flag-ship at this port.
The Medea and Shearwater steamers, recently com-
missioned in the river, are, it is said, both to proceed
to the West Indies.

The Apollo troop-ship is to proceed to Cork about
Thursday, to embark troops for Corfu and Malta. The
Pestonjee Bomanjee transport, Lieutenant Crawford,
agent, destined for China with provisions, &c., remains
at Spithead, wind bound.
The new three decker, Queen, 110, is now intended
to bear the flag of Sir Edward Codrington, Comman-
der-in-Chief at Portsmouth, instead of the Britannia,
120, which goes to the Mediterranean.
Lieutenant G. B. Stewart is to be Flag-Lieutenant
to Rear-Admiral Bouveric, in this dock-yard, vice
Richards, promoted.
The Stromboli steamer, Commander W. Williams,

Salamander steamers, are ordered home from the north
coast of Spain to be paid off.
At Spithead.—Vanguard, 94.
In Harbour.—Britannia, Victory, Excellent, Royal

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION.

MESSRS. SLOAN and CO., Members of
the Royal College of Surgeons, 4, ARGYLL-PLACE,
REGENT-STREET, and 28, IRONMONGER-LANE,
CHEAPSIDE, may be consulted from Eight o'Clock in the
Morning until Ten at Night, on every variety and stage of
Syphilis, with that delicacy and secrecy they have hitherto a-
ser;ed. The treatment they pursue will not subject any patient
confinement or hindrance from business. Cases of an ex-
treme nature they eradicate in eight or ten days, or if slight or
recent in two or three, without the indiscriminate use of mer-
cury, and at a moderate expense. Generative debility,
Gonorrhoea, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily se preva-
lent, are reated upon these unerring principles which have in-
sured to Messrs. Sloan and Co. so large a share of public pa-
tronage for nearly thirty year sin London, and which it will be
their future exertion to maintain.

Letters, containing an enclosure, will be answered by return
and patients, however distant, will be cerrespoaded with until
recovered.

who urge that the putting up of banns in churches is a pre_

MAGAZINES-(CONCLUDED.)

UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL.
In the current Number of this Journal we find
two well-timed articles—one, " On the Composition
and Force of the Egyptian Army ;" and the other,
"On the Military Importance of Syria." In the
former of these articles the writer thus sums up
his account of the military character of the force
at the disposal of INlehemet Ali :—" It will, on the
whole, appear that, however superior the Egyptian
army may have proved against the Turks and other
barbarous people, it is incompetent, unless favoured
by climate or by some unforeseen circumstances, to
encounter successfully in the field the forces of
Russia, or of any ober European military Power."
Of Syria, Colonel Mackintosh, the writer of the
article, says—" Difficult to conquer, it is easy to
preserve when won ; and no example can be ad-
duced setting forth more forcibly the moral and
physical weakness of the Ottoman Empire at the
present day, than the fact of the ambitious Paella's
having been permitted, not only to appropriate to
himself the keys of his master's dominions on this
side, but to establish himself in the very ante-cham-
ber of his empire." The gallant Colonel adds
that " no invasion of Syria is to be feared from the
side of Egypt from any army which cannot com-
mand the co-operation of a powerful fleet."

ASIATIC JOURNAL.
The " Campaign in Affghanistan" makes no ad-
dition to the store of facts we already possess on this
subject ; nevertheless, it will please most readers,
for it is penned in a lively and good-humoured
spirit, and the article contains, besides, some graphic
descriptions. " Review of Eastern News" is a
serviceable summary of the most recent rumours and
events in British India. The " Productive Re-
sources of India" is an inquiry well-suited to in-
terest Utilitarians.
London, England, 1840-11-05

SPORTSMAN.

The most noticeable feature of the Number be-
fore us, is a portrait of Launcelot, the winner of the
Great St. Leger stakes this year at Doncaster,
which is cleverly engraved by Beckwith from an
original picture by Turner. The literary contents
are pretty much as usual.

ROYAL SPORT. —Prince Albert visited Part-
noll-park, Virginia `tVater, on Tuesday last, for a day's
shooting, where l'oere were waiting to receive his Royal
Highness Colonel' Challoner (the host), the Marquis of
Downshire, toe Earl of Uxbridge, and a select party of
other gentlemen. Prince Albert, with five other gentle-
men, kilted in one hour 97 rabbits, besides pheasants and
hares, out of which number his Royal Highness killed 25,
and said that it was the best sport he had yet had. On
Saturday, the 31st, the Marquis of Downshire, the Earl
of Uxbridge, and
, olonel Challoner, with four other gen-
tlemen,
killed 275 rabbits, besides pheasants, hares, and

The following plar. has been found extremely convenient for this
class :—To take a tea-spoonful, or even less, of the SIROP

I. It acts imperceptibly.
2. It does not require care or confinement.

3. It removes at once any impurities which, if suffered to re-
main, would accumulate and produce illness.
4. It does not cause languor, prostration of strength, or cos-
tiveness, so often felt after a black draught or any other strong
cathartic.

5. It is most agreeable to take. The flavour is delicious.
6. It is much cheaper. One bottle will last a considerable

BEET V. DEAN.

The defendant in the present case had contracted to
purchase a stock of linen drapery from the plaintiff', who
was to have it all measured and entered in a stock-
book by the 30th October, so that valuers for each party
might see the stock on that clay. Mr. Dean and a Mr.
Bennett arrived at Newport on the day, but they did
not find all ready, and therefore broke off the contract.
The plaintiff sold the stock at a loss, and brought his
action to recover the amount. It was tried at the late
Winchester Assizes, before Mr. Justice Manic, when a
verdict was found for the plaintiff.
Mr. Ears now moved for a rule nisi for a new trial,
on the ground that the verdict was against the evidence
in the cause.

The Court were of opinion that, according to the
agreement between the parties, the plaintiff had done
all that was required on his part ; they therefore
thought the verdict ought not to be disturbed.
Rulo refused.

formed for the purpose of superintending a petition to Go-
vernment, praying its protection and inter-fel-epee in the
management of railways generally, to a much gr`cater ex-

to afford every assistance in hit power, and suggested the
propriety of a conference with his successor, whom be felt

ALEXANDER'S MAGAZINE.

7 7
A periodical denoted to East Indian and Colo-
nial subjects, on which it appears to be generally
well informed. The most readable paper in the
Number now *lying on our desk, is called " Notes
on the Neilgherry Hills," which states many in-
teresting particulars chiefly relative to their horti-
cultural and agricultural capability.

BRITISH MAGAZINE.
This is a monthly register of religious and eccle-
siastical information, parochial history, &c., and
frequently contains valuable documents respecting
the state of the poor, and the progress of educa-
tion. In the Fresent Number there is a sensible
essay on the subject of a," Proposed Change in the
Laws of Marriage."

SPURTING REVIEW.
The account of the horses of Egypt, Syria, and
Arabia, by Colonel Vyse, possesses interest at the
present time. It gives a description of the various
studs belonging to Mehemet Ali, with the mode of
rearing and treating horses in Egypt, and also some
particulars of his travelling and state carriages,
which certainly give no high idea of the progress
of art in that country. Lord William Lennox
has given, in a short article, an interesting history
of ballooning, including most of the accidents that
have occurred since the days of Montgolfier to the
days of Cocking in 1837. This Number contains
two excellent embellishments—" Launcelot and
Maroon," by Prior, and " Maternal Affection,"
representing an eagle descending to carry off a
sucking puppy, which is resolutely protected by the
mother.

MONTHLY LAW .MAGAZINE.
Within the last four or five months we have
noticed a marked improvement in this Magazine,
which is no longer distinguished by the fierce high
Tory tone that formerly characterised it. Expe-
rience, no doubt, has taught its conductors the pro-
priety of abandoning prejudice, and taking calm
common sense as their guide. In the Number for ,
this month we have nothing to object to, but much
to praise. The biographical notice of the late emi-
nent lawyer, Garrow, is pithily and impartially
written ; and the " Casus Belli," as regards the
present—temporary only, we trust—misunderstand-
ing between France and England, is argued with
singular temper and skill. There is also a clever
analysis of the extraordinary case of Madame Laf-
farge, which created such a sensation the other day
in Paris.

BELGIUM.

BRCSSELS, Nov. consequence of the considerable
fall in the price of corn at Brussels last week, the Magis-
trates of this city have made some alterations in the price
of bread.
Mr. Babbage, the inventor of the celebrated calculating
machine, has passed through Brussels. The very few
persons who were permitted to see the designs for his new
machine unanimously declare that this rivals the electric
telegraph of Mr. Wheatstone.
Mr. Deridder, jun., formerly director of our railroad,
has just completed a locomotive engine on a new plan,
which is much mere economical than the present system,
both in respect to the consumption of fuel and to the weight
of the rails. The introduction of this new system being
much less expensive, short branches may be made between
certain places and the great lines, because the receipt will
suffice to cover th 4 expenses; such is the object proposed
by the able engineer.
A letter from Weimar of October 12th says, " I learn
from the best authority that our hereditary Grand Duke is
betrothed to the daughter of his Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge."
BRUSSELS, Nov. 3.—The General of Division Corn-
mander.in-Chief of the Civic Guard of Brussels has just
given notice to the officers, that the King will review the
whole of the Civic Guard on Monday, Nov. 10, imme-
diately after the ceremony of opening the Session of the
Chambers.
The library of the Chamber of Representatives has just
received from London the collection of documents, printed
by order of the House of Commons, for the year 1337,

RUSSIA.

ST. PETERS-BURGH, OCTOBER.—Privy Counsellor Von
Klenze from Munich, who has been here for some weeks,
has been invited to Zarskoje Selo, where he was received
in the most distinguished manner by his Imperial Majesty,
and laid before him the completed plans for the new Mu-
seum of the Arts which is to be erected, and for the inter-
nal decoration of the great church of St. Isaac. They
were both highly approved by his Majesty, and orders were
given to take advantage of the presence of the architect,
clearly to make out all the details necessary for the exe-
cution of the plans, and lay them before the Emperor for
his approbation. The building of the Museum is to begin
next spring, and to be completed in six years.
ST. PETERF,BURGII, OCT. 20.—We have no official infor-
mation of the campaign against the mountain tribes of the
Caucasus. The force destined to act against them was
however greater in May and June than in any former year,
but was considerably diminished in the sequel, when it was
believed to be necessary to prepare to act if needful in the
affairs of the East. But the campaign is by no means
suspended, as accounts from Bessarabia pretend. Gene-
rals Grabbe and Rajewsky continue it with energy at dif-
ferent points, while General Fesi is organizing the admi-
nistration of Southern Daghestan, of which we are com-
plete masters. The subjection of the Circassians will not
indeed be effected this year; on the contrary, it may be
expected that this war will occupy us for some }ears to
come. But the Government steadily perseveres in its
plan ; it surrounds the hostile territory with a number of
forts, which is gradually increased, and will in the end
isolate it I A plan, the operation of which is slow, but sure.

(FROM OCR OWN COLRESPONDRNT.)
NEWPORT, FEB. 17.--An offence of a very serious
nature was committed in St. James's-street, in this town,
on Friday evening, by two young gentlemen, whose names
(out of respect to the feelings cf their highly respected
relatives) we withhold. It appears they had been out
sporting, and afterwards dined with a gent!oman in New-
port, and about eleven o'clock were proceeding homeward,
when they observed a policeman rear the Trooper; one
remarked this to the other, and added. " Have a shot at
him," which the other immc'hately did, but missed. He
Says he could not have done otherwise, as he had no shot
in his gun. Report says the marks in the wall were made
by a WI! ; be that as it may, they have been fully com-
mitted to t..ke their trial for the capital offence at the
County Ass'zcs, to be held at the Castle of Winchester on
the 27th inst. Bail for their appearance to the amount of
8001. has since been given.

" I thank you for this dutiful and affectionate Address. I
feel deeply your approbation of my cho:ce, and it gives we
great satisfaction to find that an event sa essential to my do-
mestic happiness is also considered conducive to the interests of
my people."

ROUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair a few minutes before Two
o Clock, at which time there were about one hundred Members
present, the majority on the Conservative side. The greater
number appeared in uniform of a Deputy Lieutenant ; they
were interspersed with numerous military and naval uniforms,
and a few appeared in th.. Windsor uniform. Neither of the
Leaders were present, but we noticed Sir James Graham, Mr.
Goulburn, &c., on the Conservative side, while the Ministry
was represented by Sir H. Parnell and Mr. F. lifaule.
At Two o'Clock the procession was formed, the House hav—
ing adjourned till Five o'Clock.

HER MAJESTY'S REPLY TO THE HOUSE OF
COMMONS.

I thank you for this dutiful;:nclaffectionate Address. It
is with great satisfaction that I find that an event, in which my
feelings are so deeply interested, has been attended with so
many manifesta'ions of joy among my people, and has called
forth expressions of loyal attachment from my Parliament."

ANSWER OF PRINCE ALBERT TO THE HOUSE

OF LORDS AND HOUSE OF COMMONS.
" I return the House of Lords my warmest thanks for the
message which you have now delivered. I learn with lively sa-
tisfaction their approbation of the choice which her Majesty has
made, and it will be the study of my life to justify the favoura-
ble opinion which you have now expressed."
r His Royal Highness's Reply to the House of Commons
Address was couched in precisely the same terms as to that of
the Lords.]
