Samuel has represented Thirsk since 1835, and has been
a consistent supporter of the Liberal Government. We
understand that the Reformers of Thirsk haveinvited W.
C. Harland, Esq., M.P. (who some time ago made public
his intention of retiring from the City of Durham), and
that the invitation has been accepted by that gentleman.
On Monday last there was a meeting of the Liberal electors
at Thirsk, when it was resolved that their undivided sup-
port should be given to Mr. Harland. The Tories, it is
probable, will offer no opposition, for fortunately the Liberal
Party in this spirited town form an overwhelming majority. ,

BOULOGNE, AUG. 17.

ARRIVAL OF THE KING OF THE FRENCH.
(From the Times.)
Not a little sensation was created here last night by
a rumour that it was the intention of the King of the
French this day to honour Boulogne with a visit, and
to personally thank and reward the population of this
place for the loyalty and attachment to the existing
constitution of France manifested by them on the me-
morable day of the 6th of August. As the notice of
this visit was so very short and sudden, the report gained
very little credence, though it ultimately turned out to
be perfectly correct. At half-past five o'clock this
morning the steam-frigate Veloce, having on hoard Louis
Philippe and his suite, appeared off Boulogne. The
Veloce was accompanied by the Royal yacht the Rein('
Amelie, and another small steamer, the C'ourrier. As soon
as the vessels were perceived, the rappel was beat, and
immediately the whole town was on the move. Flags were
hoisted at all the principal houses and stations, and
the beating of drums was heard in every street. The
National Guards, roused prematurely from their slum-
bers, quickly turned out in full uniform, and the whole
population thronged towards the pier, in order to see
his Majesty disembark. The pier was, as may natu-
rally be supposed, the place .hick all anxiously strove
to gain, but only a few persons were admitted on it,
because it was apprehended that the assemblage of
too great a crowd in such a place, where in some
parts there is no bar to protect people against falling
over, might be attended with danger. At the pier-,
head the different authorities of the town had collected
for the purpose of welcoming the King, and receiving
him on his disembarkation. His Majesty left Eu at
eleven o'clock last night. When the vessels reached
Boulogne the tide was extremely low, and they conse-
quently lay at anchor about a mile and a half from the
shore. It was, however, expected that his Majesty
would immediately quit the Veloce, and enter the harbour
in a small boat, though it was evident, from the bois-
terous state of the wind, and the violence of the
breakers caused by the bar in front of the pier, that
the attempt to effect a landing in a small boat must be
both difficult and dangerous. Indeed, I regret to say,
that the insecurity of a small boat in such a tremendous
sea as was rolling in this morning was proved by a me-
lancholy accident, which occurred in sight of the
people on shore, as well as those on board his Majesty's
ship and the accompanying vessels. When the Veloce
anchored a pilot-boat was sent off to offer assistance, and
about the same time a boat was lowered from the
King's yacht, and another from the steamer. When
this manoeuvre was seen, the conclusion was that the
King had got into one of the boats, and was about to
land. Fortunately his Majesty was in neither of
the boats ; one of them was upset by the roughness
of the weather, but we believe that none of the sea-
men lost their lives ; but I am sorry to add, that the
cockswain of the pilot-boat was lost, having been car-
ried away, it is supposed, by the rapid current that
sweeps over the bar. After this occurrence all idea of
his Majesty's landing in a small boat was given up, and
it was understood that no attempt would be made to
land until noon. An intimation to this effect was given
to the assembled people, and, though it caused no sur-
prise, it occasioned some little vexation to the Na-
tional Guards and the rest of the population, who had
been rather suddenly drummed out of their beds at an
early hour of the morning, and who were exceedingly
anxious to have a morning's amusement and holiday.
The citizens then returned to their homes, not alto-
gether well pleased, especially as the lowering appearance
of the sky most indubitably betokened a heavy and
continuous fall of rain ere long. Indeed, eight o'clock
had scarcely sounded before the rain poured down in
torrents, the wind at the same time blowing a perfect
hurricane, and the streets, which had been crowded only
three minutes ago, were deserted in a moment.
The Queen of the French arrived here about eight
o'clock in the morning, and proceeded to the Hotel du
Nord, where apartments were prepared for her.
Shortly after her arrival her Majesty, attended by her
suite, went in carriages to the " Etablissement des
Bains," situate on the sands, there to await the landing
of the King.
In consequence, however, of the heavy swell and tem-
pestuous wind, it was found necessary to weigh the
anchors of the Veloce and the other vessels, and they
were quickly beaten by the wind out of sight. At
twelve o'clock the Courrier came again in view, and en-
tered the harbour, quickly followed by the I?eine
Anzelir, which came in in gallant style, but the
Veloce did not make its appearance, and after a
long delay the people were given to understand that
it had made its way to Calais, where his Majesty
consequently would disembark, and proceed to Bou-
logne by land. At six o'clock in the evening, the hour
at which his Majesty was expected to arrive, several
gentlemen, English and French, went out in the
direction of Calais to meet him, and escort him to
Boulogne. The King reached Wernide, a village
three miles distance from Boulogne, at half-past seven
o'clock, and was cheered by the assembled crowd.
His carriage was accompanied by only one or two
mounted Gendarmes, who, when they attempted to
keep the escort of gentlemen at some distance from the
side of the carriage, received an intimation from the in-
side, we believe from the King himself, to retire. Upon
entering Boulogne his Majesty experienced a most
hearty reception from the people and National Guard,
whom he addressed from the window of his carriage.
He alighted at the Hotel du Nord at half-past eight
o'clock, and, being loudly called on by the people, he
addressed them from the window, which he opened him-
self. He then handed the Queen to the window who
was greeted with loud applause.
In the course of the evening the King went to the
theatre.
The steam-boat the Courrier, a very neatly built ves-
sel, has suffered little from the storm, but the yacht,
carrying eight brass guns, came into port with its jib-
boom snapped in two. It is also reported that the ves-
sel on board of which the King was has suffered con-
siderable damage. Her Majesty, on learning that the
Veloce had made for Calais, immediately started for
that place, and returned in the same carriage with the
King. In consequence of the dense crowd, the posti-
lions were unable to drive the carriage completely to
the gates of the Hotel du Nord. After a short delay,
His Majesty, who was dressed in the uniform of the
National Guard, alighted in the middle of the street,
and, handing the Queen out, they both walked together
to the hotel, amidst the acclamations of the people.
The greatest harmony and loyalty appear to prevail, and
any disturbance is the last thing expected.
AUGUST 18.—The King's vessel, the Veloce, came in
sight of Calais between two and three o'clock yesterday
afternoon, under the direction of the Boulogne harbour-
master, Captain Pollet, and, in endeavouring to enter,
the vessel struck against the extreme point of the jetty,
carrying away some of the works of the pier, and was
cast upon the sands, where she struck. As:the storm
was still raging, the situation of the vessel was one of
great danger, and we may conceive, but it would be dif-
ficult to describe, the feelings which must at this mo-
ment have agitated the breast of the Queen, who had
arrived at Calais to receive his Majesty on landing.
Fortunately the King was able to step on the jetty and
walk ashore. He reviewed the troops and the Na-
tional Guard in the afternoon ; but I am told that
his reception was rather cold, compared with his
enthusiastic welcome at Boulogne. It happened that
an English painter of marine subjects, Mr. Robins,
was on the spot at the time of the King's landing, and
made a spirited sketch of the whole scene, in which the
representation of the Veloce, fixed on the sands, was
the principal feature. The picture was presented to the
King at the levee at Boulogne this morning, and the
artist was highly complimented by his Majesty and the
whole of the Roy al family present, on the manner in
which he had treated a subject so interesting to them all.
This morning the King held a levee at the Hotel
du Nord, and receive the city authorities, the
Consuls, and several of the foreign residents. His
Majesty addressed each party in peculiarly neat and
felicitous terms, and produced a visible effect on their
feelings. The captain of the troops who performed
so conspicuous a part in maintaining the peace of
the town on the 6th instant, on being spoken to by
the King, and commended for his loyalty, was af-
fected even to tears. His Majesty addressed the
deputation of English residents, of whom about twenty
were present, in a very cordial manner, using the
English language. He said that he felt great pleasure
in assuring them that affairs between France and Eng-
land were taking a favourable turn, and he trusted
that nothing would occur to disturb the amicable
position of the two countries. The deputation were
highly pleased with their reception.
At the conclusion of the levee, the Royal party,
consisting of the King and Queen, the Princess Cle-
mentine, Madame Adelaide, the Duke and Duchess
of Orleans, the Duke d'Aumale, and all the Ministers,
excepting M. Thiers, who did not come to Boulogne,
attended divine worship in the church of St. Nicholas,
in the market-place ; after which his Majesty re-
viewed the troops of the line and the National Guards
in front of the church, and manifested the greatest
interest in their appearance and movements. He ad-
dressed them in brief but energetic terms to the fol-
lowing effect
" Frenchmen and Comrades,—The whole of France
thanks you—l thank you—for your recent exertions in
favour of liberty, peace, and order. I also am grateful
to you forth e attachment you manifested to my Throne
and my dynasty. The glory of the ancient army, the
t memory of which is consecrated by the pillar which
overlooks this city, has fallen upon you, and you have
shown that, should occasion arise to require your ser-
vices in defence of the liberties and rights of France, you
know how to gain a military reputation."
This short speech was hailed with loud plaudits,
and cries of " Vire /c The King then distri-
buted a number of croix d'honnezir to the persons
who had distinguished themselves for their loyal con-
duct on the morning of the Gth instant, and re-
turned to his hotel. On ascending the staircase he
mas met by the celebrated Romeo Coates, who on see-
ing his Majesty exclaimed " Vice le Rai ! No war
with England." His Majesty graciously bowed and
smiled, and repeated the words, " No war with Eng-

land." His Majesty and the Royal party left Bou-
logne for the Chateau of Eu about two o'clock in the day.
It has been reported that some Englishmen hissed the
king when he addressed the crowd from the window of
the Hotel du Nord. This is a perfect calumny, as
there was not the slightest hissing on the occasion. Se-
veral English gentlemen, anxious to obtain silence, cried
out " Hush" several times, and this sound may pro-
bably have struck upon the ears of some persons as a
hiss, and given rise to this absurd story.
The seaman drowned off Boulogne was, I understand,
one of the men of the Veloec, and not the coxswain of
the pilot-boat.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
BOULOGNE, AUG. 17.

Our quiet slumbers were again disturbed this morning
by the harsh, dull beating of the national air generale.
Presently appeared all the authorities of the town—
the National Guards in full uniform, with their guns
—all to welcome Louis Philippe, who was on board the
Veloce, having embarked at Treport about midnight.
About a quarter past six o'clock the harbour-master,
Pollet, went out to the King's ship to pilot her in, or
to give such advice as circumstances required. He had
not reached their vessel before they were noticed
making for the harbour, the second of which, from its
gay appearance, was evidently the state galley, and, to
our eyes, was the bearer of Louis Philippe.
All these approached the port, the wind blowing
hard, and a strong surf running over the bar. The
first boat gallantly made for the breakers, and had ap-
parently cleared them, when, from being thrown broad..
side to the surf by a sea which struck her, the next
wave turned her bottom upmost. All her crew of five
men were thrown out ; the rapid arrival of the two
boats which followed were the means of saving the lives
of four.

With the rising of the tide the wind had augmented
exceedingly, and the most terrible rain fell for six suc-
cessive hours. The several vessels, of course, put to
sea ; but about twelve there was a cry of " He comes,
he comes," and a steamer hove in sight, which with all
loyalty was saluted with eight guns from the battery of
the National Guards before they had discovered their
error. It proved to be the Courrier. About half an
hour after, the rain still pouring heavily and incessantly,
the brig was discovered, and she gaily entered the har-
bour, having struck her topgallant-masts, and lost her
bowsprit. She was gallantly saluted by some pop-guns
in the City of Boulogne steamer. Now we found that
we had got wet throne, in vain, for the King was gone
to Calais. The Queen remained till two, still expect-
ing her husband; at last, with the other members of
the Royal family, she set off to meet him.
Much surprise has been excited at Boulogne by the
strange proceedings of Captain Pollet, who took the
vessel into Calais when he might have entered Bou-
logne as easily as did the other two ships. The Veloce
suffered considerable injury in her keel at the entrance
of Calais harbour, and got so safely fixed on a bank, as
to compel the King to land from a boat.
Another report states that the pregnancy of the
Duchess of Nemours (who was on board) rendered it
inexpedient to remain at anchor, tho motion of the ves-
sel being less sensible as she went before the wind.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 18.--Early in the morning all
was life and activity. Many anxious looks were cast at
the clouds ; and heavy rain at one time threatened to
make this day as gloomy as the preceding.
The wind, however, still continued to blow hard,
which, although it prevented all boats from leaving or
entering the harbour, contributed to drive away the
showers. At eight o'clock her Majesty, accompanied
by Madame Adelaide, the Duchess of Nemours, and
Princess Clementine, with their suite, repaired to the
church of St. Nicholas in the lower town ; on their
road thither, and on their return they were respectfully
saluted by the lookers on. The church was crowded
with well dressed females, among the least remarkable
of whom, in their external appearance, was the Royal
party. The Queen left a munificent testimonial of her
presence, and the Clergy will have no reason to be dis
satisfied with the liberality of their distinguished visitants.
The King received a numerous party at breakfast this
morning. At the table we observed, in addition to his
family and suite, the Prefect, Sous-Prefect, the Mayor
and his two assistants, the heads of the various public
offices, the chief officers of the 42d Regiment, and of
the National Guard and Douane. Upwards of 60 per-
sons sat down, and the whole were perfectly at their
ease, from the cordiality of their reception and the un-
affected manner of their Sovereign and his family.
After breakfast, the reception of visitors which that
meal had interrupted was continued, and the long list
was scarcely concluded before 12 o'clock struck.
Meantime the Grand Rue had become the centre of
attraction ; the whole of the National Guard, with their
excellent band, the 42d Regiment, with a strong body of
Douanires, were drawn up under arms along the whole
length of the street. On the top of the hill were sta-
tioned the artillery of the National Guard. All the
windows were thronged with the beauty and fashion of
Boulogne, while the street below was entirely blocked
up by the expectant crowd.
Al a quarter past twelve the King left his hotel, the
drums beat a salute, and all the soldiers presented arms.
He rode up the street surrounded with a numerous com-
pany of officers, and graciously bowed in return for the
loyal cries and waving of hands of the spectators. He
was accompanied, among others, by the Dukes of Ne-
mours, Aumale, and Montpens:er. His Majesty looked
well and hearty ; his manly open countenance beamed
the satisfaction he evidently felt at being allowed to go
about without any risk of assassination.
He first proceeded to the Church and saluted the
clergy, who were drawn up on the steps at the great
door. He next proceeded along the line of soldiers ;
every where the loudest shouts greeted him, with cries
of " Vice le Roi !" Presently after the Queen rode
along in a carriage ; she was accompanied by Madame
Adelaide, the Princess Clementine, and the Duchess of
Nemours. She was received with not less cordiality than
her husband, and as gracefully returned the salutations.
As she passed us going out of church this morning, she
appeared sunken and careworn ; but now, in full toilette,
she looked cheerful and contented She wore a white
chip bonnet with a wreath of flowers. After all the
party had passed up and down the line, they returned
to the church porch, which they entered. A quarter of
an hour elapsed before they came out ; when all the
cavaliers mounted their horses, the troops were drawn
up in double file endways across the place, and a most
interesting ceremony began. Of the speech the King
made we did not hear a word. He was very animated
and earnest, and constantly interrupted by Vice le Roi,
which the Duke of Nemours, who rode at the right of
his father, endeavoured to suppress.
The distribution of crosses followed (fourteen in num-
ber.) The colours of the National Guard were brought
forward, and a cross of the Legion of Honour attached
to them.
Two privates of the 42d, the two deputy Mayors
(Martinet and Dutertre) with several others, received
crosses. The Mayor (Al. Adam) and Colonel Se nsot,
of the National Guards, were advanced to the rank of
Commanders in the Legion. All the officers of the
detachment of the 42d were advanced one step, and
rewards ordered to be distributed to the private soldiers.
After a few more words and the usual greetings, his
Majesty, with the Queen, &c., returned to the hotel,
which they quitted very shortly after ow their return to
Eu ; a salute of 21 guns was fired from the ramparts as
,he King left the town.
