a state that it will be ready for the reception of his Majesty by
the month of May next. The principal rooms are being fur-

celebration of his birth-day shall take place there.

We lament to state that the sight of one eye of
Viscount Deerhurst is totally gone. Mrs. Cockerell, at whose
house the accident happened, has been his only nurse, and that
amiable lady has been indefatigable in her attentions. A loss
of hearing has been added to the other calamity.

the vessel and was ancle deep in the cabin.

The Conservatory of the Botanical Gardens at
Brussels at this time presents what may may be truly said to

DUNDEE.—The Marquis of Douro, eldest son of
the Duke of Wellington, and having a title from the locality
of one of his father's most celebrated exploits, passed through
this on Friday last, having come from London on board the
Dundee steamer. The Marquis is a man of perfectly plain
' and unassuming manners, and in the short time permitted by
our steamers for the formation of friendships, made himself a
very great favourite with all his fellow passengers. He was
seen coming up with the bluff jolly Captain of the Dundee,
as familiarly as if they had been old messmates. The Mar-
quis was only a few hours in town ; but the rumour of his
arrival having spread rapidly, he was seen by a good many
of our citizens, and recognized by the prominent resemblance
of his nasal organ to that of his father. He set off for
Braemar a little after mid-day. Some gentlemen were leok-

ing most anxiously in at the carriage windows, just as he was
about to start, and thought they had got a glance of him ; a
slight mistake this—the Marquis had put his servant and
dogs inside, and, like a soldier's son, took up his own post
beside the driver, to look around him and see the country.

CORNWALL.—The mines of this county are at this
moment in most active and profitable operation ; and this,
combined with an abundant harvest, which has yielded a more
than average quantity of all agricultural produce, completes

a few weeks since, contrived to secrete the chalice and altar

DEATH OF MR. THOMPSON, CORONER.---AVe
regret to state that this melancholy occurrence took place on
Monday, under circumstances of a very painful and affecting
nature. Mr. Thompson, though previously in the enjoyment
of perfect health, was suddenly seized with apoplexy, which
almost instantly deprived him of life.—Clonntel Advertiser.

morrow."

VEGETABLE PRODUCTION.--A pumpkin, which
weighed 491 b. and measured 57 inches in circumference, was
shown us last week, which grew in the garden of Mr. Alex-
ander Beer, of Appledore ; and on the slender stem of the
same plant were six others, one of which measured 63 inches
in circumference, and the others nearly of the same size.—

Several shoals of pilchards having been seen off St.
Ives Head, on Wednesday evening, the seaners at that place
were in expectation that the fish would approach the shore, so
as to enable them to " shoot," but in this they were disap-
pointed ; it is, however, hoped that some catches may be made.
Only one of the St. Ives driving-boats ventured to sea this
week, and did not bring in more than 700 fish.

Fox.—ln one of the latest days of Fox, the con-
versation turned on the comparative wisdom of the French and
English character. " The Frenchman," it was observed,
" delights himself with the present ; the Englishman makes
himself anxious about the future. Is not the Frenchman the
wiser ?" "He may be the merrier," said Fox ; " but did you
ever hear of a savage who did not buy a mirror in preference
to a telescope 1"

An inquest was held last week in Kilmihill, county
Clare, by Thomas Whitestone, Esq., coroner, on a young
woman who was enciente. It appeared that the deceased was
turning some fowl out of a garden, when she was attacked by
her neighbour, a woman of the name of Joan Boland, who
threw a stone at the deceased, which struck her in the abdo-
men. She expired in great agony. The jury found a verdict
of wilful murder against Joan Boland.

RACING " TWO-YEAR OLDS."—A horse gene-
rally lives to between 20 and 30, say 25 ; therefore if we allow
eighty years to a man's life, we know that 25 is to 80 as 5 to
16, consequently a horse at 5 years old has about reached his
full powers. Again, 25 is to 80 as 2to 7 nearly. Our horses
therefore, which run races, sometimes severe ones, at two years
old, are just as fit to do so as a child of seven.—New Sporting
Magazine.

Hundreds of Connaught labourers have passed
through Athlocie, on their return from England, during the
last week. Their trip this season has been most unprofitable ;
many of them who heretofore usually brought home from six
to eight sovereigns, had not so much as sixpence to spare after
paying their passage over, and were actually obliged to beg
their way along the road from Dublin to their native province.
—Waterford Chronicle.
THE PRESS.—We recollect the time when our
aristocratic exclusives sneered at the editor of, or contributor
to, a review, and would have thought it an insult to be asked
to meet the editor of a newspaper ; but we have lived to see
one Lord Advocate of Scotland, and the other Lord Chan-
cellor of England, and the Parisian journalists enjoying and
wielding the whole powers of the French Government._
Blackwood's Magazine.

DEFINITION OP A FELLOWSHIP.--Through an
avenue of the trees at the back of Trinity College, Cambridge,
a church may be seen at a considerable distance, the approach
to which affords no very pleasing scenery. The late Pro-
fessor Porson, on a time walking that way with a friend and
observing the church, remarked that it put him in mind of a
fellowship, which was a long dreary walk with a church at
the end of it.

PRESERVATION OF FISH.—To keep trout alive,
whilst carrying them a long distance, mix one ounce of white
suorandy, a piece of saltpetre the size of a walnut, and a
spoonful of flour together ; this is sufficient for a pailful
of water, which must be hard spring water ; this proportion,
often repeated, will keep them alive. Carp and tench will
travel in clean whole wheat straw many miles, if laid in layers
as the straw retains the air for them to suck.
COACHES AND UMBRELLAS.—It was at first
thought disgraceful for imp to ride in coaches, unless in cases
of illness or infirmity; but this is always the case upon the
introduction of any new species of luxury. The time is still
within the memory of old persons when umbrellas were
scarcely ever used but by females, and when the few gentle-
men who carried such a luxurious novelty were ridiculed and
even insulted by those who a few years later were glad to avail
themselves of the same convenience.—Penny Magazine.

The erect ion of the bridge between Poole and Ham-
worthy will be commenced forthwith. The brig Russel, which
had been specially freighted from Memel, has arrived with
timber for the purpose, and is now unloading. Mr. George
Easton has, we believe, contracted for the erection. The
bridge, which is to be of wood, in order to afford the least
possible obstruction to the flow of the tide, will be a light and
elegant structure.

MILITIA.--The Commissioners lately appointed
by Government to inspect the Militia Staff in the three King-
doms, have finished their report, which states that a great
number of the non-commissioned officers are inefficient, and
consequently recommends their discharge. They further re-
commend that the small regiments should be united, and that
it would be desirable for them to recruit the regular army.
That this plan will be carried into effect there cannot be a
doubt, for operations to that effect have already commenced.
The correspondence in future is to be carried on through the
Commander-in-Chiefs office.
It will scarcely be credited, but it is not the less
true, that although within three days' journey of the metropo-
lis, the wild regions of Connaught and Munster, abounding in
lakes, stocked with salmon, trout, &c., are comparatively un-
known to the British Angler. We are therefore glad to per-
ceive the announcement of " The Angler in Ireland," a recent
fishing tour through such provinces of Erin as afford the best
sport to the lover of " the gentlo art." The author, we are
informed, during his niscatory excursions, passed a consider-
able time among the Lakes of Killarney, the scenery of which
is unrivalled in Great Britain.
WAR.—If war can be defended as a mode of ex-
penditure by any but gunsmiths and army clothiers, there is no
saying what curse we may not next find out to be a blessing.
Of all kinds of unproductive consumption, that occasioned by
war is the very worst. Life, and the means of life, aro there
extinguished together; and one might as well try to cause the
resurrection of a slain army on the field of battle, as hope for
any return to the toil of the labourers who equipped them for
the strife. The sweat of the artisan falls as fruitless as the
tears of the widow and orphan. For every man that dies of
his wounds abroad, there is another that pines in hunger at
home. The hero of to-day may fancy his laurels easily won ;
but he ought to know that his descendants of the hundredth
generation will not have been able to pay the last farthing of
their purchase money.--Miss Ma; tineau.

THIS EVENING.

FOREIGN OFFICE, SEPT. 16, 1834.

The Marquis de Miraflores, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary of her Majesty the Queen of Spain at this Court,
has communicated to Viscount Palmerston, his Majesty's Principal
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a Decree of her Majesty the
Queen Regent of Spain, in the name of her Catholic Majesty
Donna Isabella 11., of which the following is a translation :

ROYAL DECREE.
Considering that the security and tranquillity of these kingdoms
require that vigorous measures should be taken to prevent the spirit
of party or sordid interest from affording noursshment to the civil
war which unhappily desolates certain provinces ; being desirous to
prevent any attempts to land arms, military assistance, or stores,
in the ports or on the coasts of the north of Spain, for the use of
Spaniards in rebellion; and, with a view to self-defence, looking
rather to the prevention of evil than to its subsequent remedy; I
have ordained as follows, in the name of my august Daughter,
Donna Isabella 11., and with the advice of my Council of Ministers:
1. Besides the general prohibition directed by the laws and re-
gulations of the Custom-house against the introduction and land-
ing of arms, ammunition, or warlike stores, another more special
and rigorous prohibition shall be enforced for that portion of the
coast included between Cape Finisterre and the Mouth of the Bi-
dassoa.
2. The ships of the royal navy, the guarda costas, and other
Spanish vessels, as likewise the fortified places, forts, and land bat-
teries, shall oppose by force the landing of the said articles, as be-
ing designed for keeping up the civil war in these kingdoms.
3. Every vessel that shall be found laden witn arms, warlike
stores, ammunition, or other articles contraband of war provided
that such vessel shall approach the said coast within six miles, mani-
festing, by that act alone, her intention and design to disembark
the above-mentioned articles, shall be considered to be suspected of
the said hostile intention, and shall be detained, and the arms and
warlike stories which she carries shall be embargoed until a further
decision shall be adopted, according to the importance and the cir-
cumstances of the case. _ _

4. My Secretary of State shall forthwith communicate this
Decree to the Ambassadors, Ministers, and Diplomatic and Con-
sular Agents of my august Daughter in foreign countries, in order
that sufficient publicity being given to these regulations, those who
may infringe them may not be able to plead ignorance.
b. The other Secretaries of State in their several Departments
shall issue the most precise orders and adopt the proper measures,
in order that this my Royal Decree may have immediate and full

effect.
This you shall understand, and you shall take the necessary steps
for its accomplishment.

(Signed by the Royal Hand.)

JUVENILE EMIGRATION.—The brig Lord Ram-
sey sailed from Appledore on Thursday last, for America ; and
on the following day, at sea, the cook went down into the hold
for a supply of fuel, and, on putting in the shovel, heard a sigh
proceeding from the coal-hole ;on further examination, he
found a boy belonging to Appledore, of the name of Smith,
about twelve years of age, stowed away with all his wardrobe,
&c. The captain, on being informed of it, happening to see a
vessel bound for Appledore, made a signal, and the young
urchin was put on board, and returned home on Sunday, his
friends not having known what had become of him.—North
Devon Journal.

THE GREENOCK IRVINGITES.—On Saturday a
neat little chapel, capable of containing 600 sitters, built by
the Irvingites at Greenock, was opened for Worship. Mr.
Tait, jun., the "angel" of the church, conducted the services
of the day, and, contrary to public opinion, no ceremony at
the opening was observed. The disciples of the Irving shool
at Greenock are divided into two classes, viz., the adherents
of Mr. Campbell, late of Row, and those of Mr. Tait. The
divisions were made not on doctrinal points, but on the ques-
tion, who should be angel of the church at Greenock? Mr.
Tait and Mr. Donald, of Port Glasgow, the brother of the un-
known-tongue-gifted-lady of that name, were the candidates,
and each has a number of followers. Mr. Tait's division, un-
der the auspices of the London Society, or rather Church, is
prospering, while the other is on the wane. The chapel at
Greenock is a neat looking building, of classic architecture,
and instead of a pulpit, a platform has been erected, on which
is a reading-desk and scats for the Angel, Evangelists, and
Pastors, and the body of the house is seated with skeleton
sofas, which can be removed at pleasure.— Glasgow Chronicle.
On Saturday last a trial was made from Blackwall
to the Nore and back of a powerful steam-vessel called the
Nile, built for the service of the Pasha of Egypt. This
vessel is the largest that has hitherto been constructed in this
or probably in any country, being by admeasurement 908 tons,
and she is propelled by two of Bolton and Watt's engines, of
the nominal power of 110 horses each, but which work up to
a power of full 260 horses together. The extreme length of
this ship from the fore part of the stem under the bowsprit to
the after part of the stern-post alcft, is 183 feet 2 inches ; the
breadth extreme at the paddles 32 feet 8 inches ; depth in the
engine-room 21 feet 9 inches ; she draws about 14 feet water.
The trial was successful in every respect ; her speed, as ascer-
tained at the measured mile below Northfleet, having ex-
ceeded from 1-10th to 1-9th that of our own Government
steam-ships of equal power, than which the Nile is so con-
structed as to be capable of stowing from three to four days'
more coals. The primary object of this vessel is said to be to
tow the ships of the line belonging to the Pasha in and out
of the harbour of Alexandria, but she is capable of being con-
verted to purposes of war in case of emergency. She will
take her departure for Alexandria in the course of a few days
from Blackwall.

DISTURBANCE IN WHITECIIAPEL.—SUIIday
morning, between one and two o'clock, a disturbance of a se-
rious nature took place in the Whitechapel-road. A number
of Irish labourers, who, after receiving their week's wages,
had spent their money in getting drunk (their usual custom),
could not conclude their spree without a fight. This was not
taken much notice of at first, it being a circumstance by no
means uncommon ; but about one o'clock it assumed a more se-
rious aspect, and the police officers on duty thought it was
high time to interfere, as pokers, tongs, and other weapons of
offence, were in active operation in a dark street, called John-
street, where the combatants were hotly engaged. Two po-
licemen, Hopkins 75, and West 277, of the K division, pro-
ceeded to the spot, and endeavoured to quell the disturbance,
but were immediately assailed with a volley of stones and
brick-bats, one of which struck Hopkins on the forehead, and
felled him to the earth ; West, also, received a blow from a
similar missile, which also levelled him to the earth. The
bystanders conveyed them to the station-house, where they
were attended by Mr. Billingham, surgeon. Their wounds
were found to be very severe, Hopkins having his forehead cut
in a shocking manner, and his leg nearly broken by a blow
from a poker. West was struck on the back of the head by a
brickbat, and it is feared his skull is fractured ; his face is also
much injured by the fall : he now lies in a very dangerous
condition. A strong body of police was immediately despatched
to the scene of outrage, but when they arrived the parties were
all retired to their beds • and, in consequence of the darkness
of the street, it is not likely any of the parties can be identified.
None of them have yet been taken into custody, but the officers
are making the most rigid inquiries, in order to discover the
cowardly and brutal assailants of the police. At a late hour
last night, West, the policeman, was not considered out of
danger:

THE GREAT ST. LEGER.
Two or three alterations of some importance have arisen
out of the few engagements entered into this afternoon. Pre-
vious, however, to giving our customary list of the average
eloSing prices, we may be allowed to observe that there is
perhaps no season on record in which the public running of
three or four of the Newmarket three year olds has been so
good or so true throughout; and, as it has a most important
influence on the St. Leger, a short retrospect will not be out
of place. We begin with Glencoe, who, although not in the
race, is, by analagous running, closely connected with it. His
first appearance was for the Tuesday's Riddlesworth, which
he won easily, beating Zulima (winner of the July Stokes),
the Barossa filly, and sister to Galata ; on this race he was
allowed 31., while the fillies carried the full weight. He
met Plenipo in the same meeting, made tremendous play, was
outpaced, and beaten in a canter. In the First Spring
Meeting he won the Desert Stakes, beating Ganges (who re-
ceived 31b.) easy ; on the following day he won the 2,000
Guinea Stakes by a length, beating Flatterer (the Clare colt),
Bentley (winner of the Clearwell and Criterion) Brother to
Kate, Paris, Trictrac colt, and Viator, who had won the Rid-
dlesworth the previous Meeting, beating Darius d two or
three others by four or fire lengths. At Eps Glencoe
„it
made all the running for the Derby, and was be n half a
length from the second horse ; walked over for the Royal
Stakes at Ascot; at Goodwood carried the full weight for
the Cup over very heavy ground, and won by three lengths,
beating Colwick (who received 101 b.), Famine, Rockingham
(a St. Leger winner), and several others ; and on the follow-
ing day won the Racing Stakes just as easy, although carrying
61b. extra, beating Louisa (second for the Oaks), and three or
four others. Plenipo, like Glencoe, came out in the Craven
Meeting, beating the Caroline colt, c. out of Zealot's dam,
and Manto colt, for a sweepstakes of 50 sovs. each. In the
same Meeting defeated Glencoe in a trot, and won the Derby
by two lengths, beating Shilelah, Glencoe, Bentley (4th),
Intriguer, and a large field ; he afterwards walked over for
the St. James's Palace Stakes, and will start for the St.
Leger with the highest reputation ever yet acquired by any
horse of the same age. Of Shilelah we know nothing more
than that he ran second for the Derby ; if, however, it be
true that he has been tried to be 51b. better than Priam (so it
is reported), he must be a strange good horse; but admitting
this (that he was not quite fit on the day we can scarcely
credit), what must Plenipo be ? Darius won the Newmarket
Stakes (or its substitute) in a canter, beating Harum Scarum
and three or four others. Intriguer, too; won the Shirley
Stakes at Epsom, beating, besides others, Stradbally, who
was stated by the party to be half a stone better than Pussey,
winner of the Oaks ! After the Derby, Intriguer was sold
to Sir Thomas Stanley for 600 guineas, and won a stake at
Egham, beating Cornet in a canter. It will be seen by this
that the running has been perfectly consistent ; there has been
no in-and-out work, as is frequently the case with moderate
horses, and all tends unequivocally to prove the vast superiority
of Plenipo. Against this the north country have to oppose
Warlaby Baylock, Bran, General Chasse, Touchstone, Mr.
Powlett's colt, Cotillon, Bubastes, Marcellina, and Louden,
and it must be confessed that it is a formidable numerical array.
Warlaby Baylock ran four times last year viz., twice as third
to Cotillon,and once third to Emigrant ; his other race was for
the Two-year-old Stakes at Doncaster, which he won by
about half a head, beating Bubastes, Marcellina, Powletts's
colt, Inheritor, and nine or ten or others ; there was nothing
near the first two. In the York Spring Meeting this year he
won the York Derby cleverly, beating Mellerstein, Rifleman,
and two of the Duke of Leeds' colts; and in the same Meet-
ing won the Shorts, beating Spume and Sister to Retainer ;
this running will hardly bear looking into, for Bubastes, who
can scarcely be separated from him, was nowhere: for the Derby,
and all the others beaten by him are moderate. General Chasse
has proved victorious in several races, and in the single race i
which he was defeated ran Victoria to a head when in her
best form ; as a two-year-old he won at Newcastle, beat-
ing Monitor, Dulcamara colt, and three others ; at the
Western Meeting beating Miss Emily, and two others ;
and at Carlisle, beating Mayflower and three others--
all the beaten horses decidedly bad. In the present sea-
son he has won the Liverpool Spring St. Leger, beating
Birdlime and Polander ; and the St. Leger at Manchester,
beating Inheritor, Tarick, and several others ; and the St.
Leger at Liverpool July Meeting, beating Touchstone (2d),
Powlett's colt (3d), Inheritor, Queen Bess, Billinge, &c.; by
a head. At two years old, Touchstone walked over for a stake
at Lichfield, and was beaten at the Holywell Hunt by Queen
Bess, Tulip being second ; as a three-year-old, his running
evinced improvement. He won the Dee Stakea at Chester,
beating Queen Bess and several others cleverly; and on the
following day 'he won the Palatine Steiits, beating his old
antagonist Queen Bess and two °tiers, after a severe race.
His last appearance was with General Chass6 at Liverpool ;
and it is supposed that 'nothing but a disappointment early
in the race prevented his winning. The pretensions of
Mr. Powlett's toit arc of a different kind, and certainly do
not entitle Lim to be at 15 to 1. He has been defeated five
times, viz., at York August Meeting last year by Emigrant,
without a place ; at Doncaster by Cotillon, to whom 'he
was second, and at the same place by Warlaby, Baylock,
without a place ; at Liverpool by General Chasse ; and at
Pontefract by Miss Wilfred, to whom he gave a year and.
31b. In the last race but one he was close up with Touch-
stone, so that the Liverpool trio cannot be far removed from
each other, nor, if the running of Mr. Powlett's colt be the
criterion, can they be very good. Bran won the Spring St.
Leger at York, beating Buccaneer and three others equally
bad by three lengths; and the Thirty Guinea Stakes in the
August Meeting, beating Cotillon, Inheritor, Omnibus, and
Goldbeatcr ; this running, however, is neutralized by the fact
that Cotillon was self-dfeated before starting. Marcellina
was second to Emigrant at York, and third in the race between
Warlaby and Bubastes ; she has not been out this year. Louden
won the Maiden Plate at Milton in four heats, beating the
Count, a f. Splendour's dam, and a colt by Tramp, d. by
Rubens. Cotillon won the Two-year-old Stakes at York
Spring Meeting, beating Valparaiso, Warlaby Baylock, Emi-
grant, Bequest colt, Bubastes, &c. ; the Champagne Stakes at
Doncaster, beating Mr. Powlett's colt, Warlaby Baylock, and
several others ; and a plate at the same meeting, beating Val-
paraiso, She started for the Oaks, was restive, and not
placed ; at the York August Meeting ran Zohrab to half a
head, and Bran to a length, being temperate in the first race
and jady in the other ; nothing but the money on her induces
Mr. Walker to start her. Bubastes won the Two-year-old
Stakes, and was beaten at York, Doncaster, and Epsom, as
may be collected from the above. The weight of public run-
: ning is immensely in favour of Plenipo, or, failing him, of Shi-
lelah, and, judging by results on paper, we do not see how
anything but accident can prevent one of the two winning.
Only the first three backed. Chasse is greatly admired,
but Plenipo looks and goes so well that very few are desperate
enough to go against him. Warlaby Baylock, and those who
follow him, are %lute out of favour.
[ Chifney will ride Shilelah.

THE SCRUTINY OF THE CHURCH RATE POLL
—Five or six persons have been actively engaged, ever since
the close of the poll on Wednesday week, in preparing the
books for the scrutiny, which was commenced on Thursday
morning last by Mr. William Broome, the scrutineer.—We
understand that on that morning Mr. Broome made an appli..
cation to Mr. Maybury, the senior overseer of Salford, to be
allowed to see the poor-rate book for 1833, for the purpoee of
the scrutiny.—Mr. Maybury said he could not take it upon
himself to grant Mr. Broome permission, but he would consult
with his colleagues, and Mr. Broome should have an answer
that evening, or in the morning. Yesterday morning, Mr.
Maybury accompanied by Mr. Drinkwater, another of the over-
seers, and Mr. Lawrence Rostron, one of the Salford select
vestry, called on Mr. Broome, and stated that the overseers
had taken the subject into consideration, and that they thought
it a matter of such importance as to render it requisite to con.
suit the select vestry respecting it. The vestry (which only
sits once a fortnight) would not meet before Wednesday week,
when they would lay Mr. Broome's application before it, and
by its decision they would ad.—Manchester Guardian.
