A ROYAL PRESENT.—Previously to her Majesty
leaving town for Germany, the Princess Lieven, on paying a
farewell visit, was" presented by her Majesty with a valuable
token of friendship and esteem. This Royal souvenir consists
of a magnificent table for the
boudoir of small dimensions, and
composed of papier mache, richly inlaid with pearl in Chinese
figures and devices. It was entirely made by one artist, in

M. Rothschild, of London, was supported by his sister-in-law;
and her husband eventually promised to change his line of
conduct, and in consequence orders were conveyed, by tele-
graph, to Messrs. Lionel, Rothschild, and Cremieux, who were
on their way to Madrid, to return to Paria, _llgn Sens.
THE BALLOT.—We have been shown an -
ous model of a balloting box, made and invented by .
Thomas, carpenter, of Hereford. It is constructed upon such
a principle that it will be impossible for any one to know for
what candidate each particular elector votes. It should be full
nine feet high, with stairs on one side for the voters to ascend
to the place of balloting. We understand it has been submit-
ted to Joseph Hone, Esq. M. P., who is at present in Chel-
tenham, and who extte444 it with much attention.— Chel-
tenham Chronicle.
KING'S SCHOOL FEAST SOCIETY.—CA NTEIt-
BURY, &pip. 4,l—The anniversary of this excellent establish-
ment was celehr4ed op Thursday last with unusual eclat.

terhury, his Grace the Duke of Wellington, the Right Hon,
S. Lushington, the Members of the Eastern Division of
the county, a vast number of ladies and gentlemen, and the

.0
the scholars and to the masters. At five o'clock a nume-
rous company, composed of many of the leading personages in

the county, cat down to din ler at the Fountain Hotel. The

Wheat, we are informed, was sold in our market last
Thursday, as low as three shillings and eightpence a bushel.
We have heard of, indeed, one sale at three shillings and four-
pence a bushel.—Birmingham Journal.
The French say, that a dinner without champagne
is like a magic lantern without a candle ; and that a wine-
cellar that does not contain some of the sparkling commodity is
like a watch without hands.

We hear that Mr. Bunn has just concluded an en-
gagement with a new tragic actor, who, in theatrical ldnguage,
is likely to make a decided hit. This new aspirant for dra-
matic fame has performed for a short time at the Kensington
,Theatre.

Mr. Butler is engaged to'suceed Mr. Vandenhoff;
he will make his first appearance in Hamlet on Wednesday
next.

We understand that none of the performers (ex-
cept Mr. W. Farren) now acting at the Haymarket Theatre,
will leave that establishment till the close of the season,
which may extend till the 15th of November next.
ROBBERY AT TILE PALACE OF FERNS.—On

ewer, two salt-stands, with spoons, five tea-spoons, five glass
cloths, and two servants' aprons marked F.

MR. GIBBONS MERLE.—We regret that we should
have have given insertion to a paragraph yesterday, announc-
ing the death of this gentleman. We have seen a letter writ.:
ten by him on the 22d inst., at which time he had recovered
from the indisposition which gave rise to his rumoured death.
—Morning Paper.
VINTAGE IN FRANCE.—AII the accounts we
receive from the wine countries concur in stating that the
vintage is most abundant, and the growth of very first qua-
lity, so that- all the expectations formed from the present
most promising season are likely to be fully realized.—
Galignani.

The new steam-mill and engine erected by Messrs.
Newell and Grant, at the Tralee distillery this year, is now at
full work. This important invention, the first of the kind ever
introduced into Kerry, is found to give great satifaction in
grinding, pumping, and working the general machinery of th e
distillery.— Tralee Mercury.

TIGHT LACING.—An inquest was held on Friday
on the body of Harriet, youngest daughter of Mr. Torry, far-
mer, of Wisbech, who died suddenly on the previous evening,
in consequence, it is supposed of being too tightly laced. Ver-
dict—" Died by the visitation of God."—Boston Herald.
A new writ has been issued, extending the The
and the duration of the Scottish Law Commission. The for-
mer was to continue one year from the 12th of June 1833, and
of course has expired ; the present extends the term to the
loth of December ensuing.

An engineer at Horsley has produced a saw-mill on
the principle of composition and revolution of force, which has
overcome the difficulty of making such a machine universal,
it having, even in a very short time, cut out the inventor's
name. It would be particularly adapted for cabinet-makers,
cutting knees for ships, and a variety of other purposes.
THUNDER STORM.—The neighbourhood of York
was visited last Friday with a severe storm of thunder and
lightning, accompanied by a heavy shower of rain. At Ship-
ton, a tree on Lord Downe's estate was split in twain, and
the bark brought off. Mr. Thomas Skelton, who was stand-
ing about two hundred yards from the spot, experienced a
shock of the electric fluid, and received a slight injury in
the hand.

The roanceuvres at the Camp of St. Omer com-
menced on the 14th inst., when upwards of 10,000 men, in-
cluding the whole of the infantry, cavalry, and artillery, were
in the field, and being favoured by fine weather, formed a most
brilliant spectacle. The whole population of St. Omer and
the environs assembled to view the magnificent scene. The
Duke of Orleans is expected on the 26th at the camp, when
there will be a grand review. It is believed that the camp
will not break up before October 15.-.... French Paper.

TITHEs.--Lord Ferrard has directed his agent to
collect the tithes of his part of the parish of Antrim, for which
he is to charge the Rector, the Rev. Mr. Green, the very
moderate sum of five per cent. Earl O'Neill, it is 'said, has
taken upon himself the payment of the tithes in his Lordship's
estate in that parish. So, also, the Marquess of Donegan has
given notice that he will be responsible for those accruing in
the parish of Belfast ; and Arthur Montgomery, Esq., of
Tyrella, has adopted a similar line of conduct.—Belfast
Guardian.

EARL GREY'S PAVILION.—The Pavilion was
crowded by visitors during the whole of Saturday until ten
o'clock in the evening, when it closed. Upwards of 901. was
collected for the public charities, but besides those who paid
for admission, the children and the inmates of different public
institutions were admitted gratis. It is calculated that the
Pavilion has been visited by upwards of 30,000 persons, and
that about 1701. has been collected in the three days on which
it was open to the public.—Edinburgh Evening Courant.
Accounts from Smyrna, of the 13th ult., state that
the Duke of Ragusa was in that town. It was supposed that
he would go into Syria and Egypt.
There is now living at Durdrecht, in Holland, a
sailor, named Conrad Vancouver, who, on the 20th of last
month, had attained the age of 135 years. This must as-
saredly be the oldest man in existence in Europe.
CHELSEA LAMMAS LANDS.—We are given to
understand that the differences between the Kensington Canal
Company and the inhabitants of the parish of St. Luke, Chel-
sea, relative to the forcible repossession of the Lammas Lands,
commonly called the " Lotts," the report of which appeared
in The Sun a short time since, is not yet amicably settled
but it appears there has been an offer of compensation from the
Company to the amount of 501., which they have refused, as it
is considered to be very much undervalued. According to the
Act of Parliament under which the Company obtained it, they
have the power of summoning a Jury to assess and award
compensation, which has not yet been done, consequently the
parish are justified in refusing the offer, but the Company have
given them to understand that if they do not accept their offer
and surrender the lands, legal proceedings will immediately
commence, so that the gentlemen of the long robe may expect
a rich harvest from this contest.

THEATRICALS A FLOA T.—There are several
companies of Thespians performing on the Mississippi, in flat
boats, fitted up as theatres. They float from plantation to
plantation, and from town to town, and go wherever there is
a probability of success. When business is dull at one point,
they have nothing to do but trip anchor and away. The
aquatic theatricals originated on that river with the Chapman
family, who performed a few years since at the Walnut-street
Theatre ; and it is said on the Levee, that they find the spe-
culation very profitable. Miss Caroline Chapman is the
Fanny Kemble of the Western Waters, and when she per-
forms, the manager is always sure of a " good boat." For
some time the Chapmans had the harvest of the waves all to
themselves ; the planters were delighted at the novelty, and
wherever the theatre floated, it was sure to be loaded, before
the hour of performance, down to the very guards. Since
that golden period, it is reported that sundry interlopers have
appeared and opened opposition establishments, to the great
detriment of the regular drama. The spirit of competition
may produca Steamboat Theatres on the father of rivers ;
high pressure Drury-lanes, and low pressure Covent-gardens.
We may live to see opera-houses snagged on the waters, as
frequently as it happens on dry land.—Pennsylvanian.
DRAMATIC AUTHORSHIP IN FRANCE.—A case
of considerable importance for the rights of dramatic authors
in the disposal of their copyrights has recently been decided
before the Tribunal of Correctional Police at Paris. It ap-
pears that M. Scribe, a celebrated French dramatic author,
had made an arrangement with a bookseller named Pollet to
sell him all the pieces he might write for 200 francs each.
This arrangement continued for some time, and as M. Scribe's
plays became popular, the bookseller found it a very profitable
speculation. He at length, however, died, and M. Scribe,
finding he could get a great deal more money for his works,
made an engagement with another bookseller, and the daugh-
ter of M. Pollet brought an action against M. Scribe in con-
sequence, to compel him to give her the manuscript of the last
piece he had written, called Salvoisy, ou, l'Amou,eux de la
Reine, on payment of 200 francs, according to the agreement
made with her father. M. Scribe contended that the agree-
ment was merely a personal one with her father, and that he
was not bound to continue the same arrangement with the
daughter, and that he had a right now to dispose of his pro-
perty to the best advantage. The Tribunal decided in favour
of M. Scribe, and condemned Mademoiselle Pollet in the costs.
