DEPARTURES.

The Hon. Lady Henniker, from Nerot's Hotel, for Newton
Hall, Essex; the Hon. Capt. Henniker, Mrs. Henniker, and
family, from ditto, for Ashdown Park, Sussex.

His Majesty has assigned the Duchess of
Marlborough apartments in the Palace at Hampton Court,
and her Grace, accompanied by her nieces the Misses
ipence, have arrived there, from the residence they occu-
pied at Grosvenor.gate, Park-lane. The Duchess is a
sister of the present Earl of Galloway.
The Marquis of Lansdowne is expected to
return to Buwood Park to-morrow. The Earl of Kerry
is gone on a visit to the family estates in Ireland, where
his Lordship will remain several weeks.
Lord Grenville continues at his seat at Drop-
more, in the same state in which he has existed for several

,lays. His brother, the Right Hon. Thomas Grenville,
and Lady Grenville, are unceasing in their attentions t(i
the venerable Peer.

The Earl of Jersey has at last recovered from
his severe attack of " repelled gout," and entertained a
small party of friends at dinner, on Monday evening, in
Berkeley-square. The comp iny included the Duke of
Wellington, Prince Esterhazy, Lord and Lady Fitzroy
Somerset, &c. The long-talked of tour of the Noble Earl
and his family on the Continent is said to be postponed
sine die.

Sir Francis Burdett met with an accident some
days ago, by falling from his horse in Park-lake, near
Tyburn-gate. The Hen. Baronet was confined to his
residence in St. James's-place, from the effects of the
somewhat serious bruises he received, but he has now
shaken off the effects of his accident, and gone to join his
Lady and family at West Cliff House, Brighten. Lieut.-
Colonel Burdett, late of the 10th Hussars, oily son of Sir
Francis, is still residing at Paris.

In consequence of the want of room for the
royal retinue in the Pavilion, Brighton, it has been f@und
necessary to take a house in the town for the accotnmo.
dation of seventeen of her Majesty's domestics. The King
sets an excellent example of early rising to his fashionable
visiters, and of laudable industry in his application to
business.

THE RATHCOOLE PEERAGE.---A claim to

the ancient Peerage the Viscountcy of Tracy of Rathcoole,
which has been now nearly 37 years in abeyance, is at
present being actively prosecuted by a gentleman, member
of a respectable mercantile house in this city. Nearly all
the preliminary steps in such cases have been complied
with, and the opinion of one of the first, if not the very
iir•t law officers of the Crown taken in the matter. This
opinion is decidedly in favour of the claimant's right. The
possessions attached to this Peerage are immense.—Dublin
Paper.

Mr. Musgrove, one of tile Factory Commis-
sioners, takes the Scotch district. Mr. Ricard's district
includes the whole of Lancashire, Cheshire, and the nor-
thern division of Derbyshire, having Manchester for its
central point.

CAPTAIN ROM—It was stated in the City,
yesterday, that at the end of list week a Treasury order
for 8,0001. was transmitted from the Treasury to the Bank
of England, to be paid to the credit of Captain Ross, for
the discoveries that gallant officer has made in the North
Pole, and for the hardships he has suffered.

The Censors appointed by the College of
Physicians for the ensuing year are Dr. Bright, Dr. Peter
Latham, Dr. Pinkard, and Dr. Waterfield.

Dr. Henderson, who is lately returned from
a visit to the vineyards of the Rhine, states that the wine
growers have been most successful in producing an en-
tirely new quality of wine from the hock grape, resem-
bling, and little, if at all inferior to Champagne of
Rheims.

The Hamburg Correspondent announces that
the King of Prussia has conferred on the Duke of Cumber-
land the rank of General of Cavalry.

The Tribune announces that on Thursday it
paid the fine of 20,000 f. to which it had been condemned,
and which was carried by the costs, &c., to 22,0761. 85c
GENERAL POST-OFFICE.--By a recent re-
gulation of the General Rest-offi.•e, letters for the continent
in future will be sent to Dover, instead of being forwarded
to London. Newspapers cannot be sent or received hut
at the following full rate of postage :—France, Is. 2d. ;
Holland, Is. 4d.; Germ my, Russia, Prussia, Sweden,
Denmark, Norway, Switz-rland, Is. Bd. ; Italy, Turkey,
lonian Islands, Is. lid. ; Spain, through France, 2s. 2d

It is confidently reported that a cominercial
treaty with France is in a state of great forwardness. I
this important measure is negotiated in good faith in the
spirit of trade—reciprocity and exchange of great staple
articles—we know of no event of such vital importance to
the welfare and commercial prosperity of both countries.—
London New Price Current.

Viscount Milton, eldest son of Earl Etzwil-
liam, who was lately united to Lady Selina Jenkinson,
laughter of the Earl of Liverpool, is said to have settled
up in him the whole of the English estates of ,his Noble
Father, the revenues of which exceed 70,000/. per
annum. The large domains of the Earl in Ireland, of the
annual rental of 30,000/. per annum, to ;7hich Mr. Cha-
loner, formerly M.P. for York, is agent, are said to be
settled on his Lordship's second son, the Hon. W. Went-
worth Firmaliam, now in his eighteenth year.
The Corporation of Liveroool have bestowed
the freedom of that borough on Captain Ross.

A numerous and respectable company assem-
bled at the George Inn, Stafford, on Monday last, to wit•
ness the competition for the purchase of the Tixall Estate.
The first bidding, 150,0001., was made by Mr. Unett, of
Birmingham, who, it was understood, represented the
executors of the Lite Mr. Beech, of the Shaw ; and he was
followed by Mr. Ginders (for Earl Talbot), Mr. Peel, of
Lancashire, and by Mr. Jennings (for the Duchess of St.
Albans). The successive bi'ldings were 160,0001.,
170,0001., 180,0001., 190,0001., and then advanced, by
thousands only, to 206,0001., at which sum they stopped.
Mr. Jennings was the highest bidder. Mr. Clifford stated
the reserved bidding to be 350,0001., and the estate was
accordingly announced as bought in. Negotiations are
stated to have since been carrying on by the agents of Earl
Talbot, and that it is not unlikely his Lordship may yet
become the purchaser of this property.—Birmingham
Gazette.

IMPROVEhfENTS.--The improvements at the
east extremity of the town do not keep plce with those at
the west end. Not only what might be called a new and
magnificent wing to Westminster has been erected on the

r".
estate of the Marquis of Westroinster,"ln the neighbours
od of Knightsbridge and Pimlico, but parallel, at the
Other side of Hyde Park, a new town seems to base
sprung up lately, which is daily increasing. The fields
in the rear of Connaught-place, and those adjacent,
which have had long a dreary appearance, are likely soon
to be covered with houses extending to Maids-hill. It is
thus that the rage for building still continues notwith-
standing the pressure of the times. Splendid mansions
increase, and the great wonder and astonishment is where
the speculators in new houses can find tenants.
THE MURDER AT PLUMSTEAD.—AD-
JounNED INQUEST.—The Coroner and Jury reassembled
at half-past nine o'clock, at the Plume of Feathers,
Plumstead, to investigate the circumstances connected
n'ith the death of Mr. George Badle, and, several witnesses
having been examined, the proceedings were adjourned till
this morning.
M. de St. Sauvieur, the rfench Consul at
Salonica, has lately presented to the Kini.( some unique
Greek ri•arbles, found in Macedonia. They consist of
heads of divinities and kings, funeral monuments orna-
mented with bas reliefs and inscriptions, a colossal host,
supposed to be that of Persius, the last King of Macediot,
and a colossal statue of Diana. His Majesty has sent them
to the Museum of the Louvre, and has presented to M. de
St. Sauvieur in return a magnificent dessert service of
Sevres porcelain.
On Tuesday night last some miscreant en-
tered a field called Birchfields, at Handsworth, in the
county of Stafford, and maliciously stabbed and cut open
the bellies of three milch cows belonging to Mr. Samuel
Jackson, milkman, who resides in London 'Prentice-
street, in this town. One of the cows died of the wounds,
and the others cannot survive long.—Birmingham Jour.
A young Brazilian, on the point of leaving
Paris on his return to his own country, had taken his
place in the diligence for Wednesday, but having on
his way entered a gambling-house in the Palais R iyal,
he in a few minutes lost 4,000 francs, the only meaes he
had of paying the charges of his journey home.-- French
Paper.

THE LATE EDMUND KEAN, ESQ.-Mr,.
Kean, it has been ascertained, died intestate, and though
it has been calculated that, during the nineteen years he
was before the London public, his receipts amounted to
nearly 150,0001., his affairs at the time of his death were
in such a state that neither Mrs. Kean, his widow, or
his son, have thought proper to take out letters of admi•
nistration to his effects. Mr. William Hal•on, one of the
creditors of the estate, having made an application to the
Prerogative Court of Canterbury for administration to be
granted to him, both the widow and son (the nest of kin)
were served with a citation, according to the practice of
that Court, directing them either to take ow wiministra-
tion themselves, or to show cause why Mr. Halton should
not do so. Neither of the parties having appeared to this
citation, the o,llinary has just granted letters of adinini4-
tration to the creditor, who has sworn the whole of the
effects of poor Kean, within the province of Canterbury,
to be under the value of &V.—Morning Paper.

THE DUCHESS OF ABRANTES (NIADAME
JtiNor).—The translation of the sixth volume of this
la ly's delightful " Reminiscences of the Fre,ch Emperor"
is now published. It brings down the narrative of Na.
poleon's career to the commencement of the year 1610,
when Madame Junot heroically resolved to accompany her
husband, who received orders to proceed ro Spain to take
the command of the Bth Division. Handsome, intriguing,
and imperative, possessing his confidence in a remarkable
degree, the Duchess has traced, with the light ,ouches
a female hand, the character of Bon.parte, seen under
those minor lights and shadows perceptible only to a
female eye ; her work is consequently one to which the
future historian must gladly refer for information, and
which we of the contemporary day cannot fail to regard
with peculiar interest.

PRIVATE-HOUSE GAS-LIGHTING.-CM
Monday evening Mr. Richard Gude delivered a lecture
at the Pantechnicon Rooms on the cheap manufac-
ture of gas from the oil obtained from the sprats
which are at present used by the farmers for ma-
nure on the western coast. He asserted positively
that out of a vast number of experiments he bad uniformly
produced one-third their weight in oil, which is far purer
tha❑ that from any other animal ; and that the fish could
always be insured at the rate of 225. par ton. The works
necessary for the manufacture of the gas are comprised in
the space of an ordinary water-butt, and the purifying
process is remarkably simple. A gentleman of the name
of Metberell, who was present, and who actually makes
use of the gas on his premises in Blackfriars-road, corro-
borated his statement throughout.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET.--The mer-
chants having met the buyers more freely, there has been
more business transacted, and at easier rates, than for
some time past.—Bristol Journal.

The bill of mortality for the month ending
October, was IS souls.—Stamford News.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 11.
—We have had an improved demand from the trade to-
day, and prices generally are id. higher than out quota-
tions of Saturday, and in some instances were id. At
this advance holders have met the demand freely. The
sales reach 4,000 bags, consisting of 1,000 Msranhams,
Sid. to 911. ; 200 Pernams, 91d. to 10d. ; 150 Bahias,
; 150 Surats, sd. to 6d.; 2,000 American, 7d. to
fqd.; remainder Orleans, as high as I Id, No new Boweds
sold yet. The New York Packet of the 24th ult., is off
Holyhead, and is anxiou,ly expected.
The Kilkenny Journal gives the following
account of the affair stated in the letter of our Dublin
correspondent, published on Saturday, to have occurred on
the estate of Captain Bryan :—" A circumstance has been
stated to us as having occurred on the estate of Captain
Bryan, last harvest, both gratifying to him and creditable
to his tenants. A defaulting tenant was evicted for a
large arrear of rent—possession was not had until a crop
of growing wheat was ready for the sickle—a threatening
notice was served containing the usual friendly intima-
tions; whereupon 40 farmers and labourers from off the
estates of Captain Bryan at once volunteered to cut and
stack the corn. This being made known to Captain
Bryan in London (we should rather hear of his being at
home), be at once, after getting a list of their names, or-
dered the price of the corn so cut and saved by them to be
distributed amongst them, to mark his approval and
thanks for their good conduct."

ANECDOTE OF LOUIS THE EIGHTEENTH.
—At the period of the Restoration, the Duc de —, one
of the most confidential servants of Napoleon, became
attached to the Royal Household. " Before I admit you
into my secrets, my dear Duke," said the King, in
honouring him with a first private audience at the
Tuileries, " you must favour me with a few of yours in
exchange. Pray how did you manage to obtain such
correct intelligence of my proceedings during my sojourn
at Mdan and Verona? Who was the fellow toat so far
vio'ated his trust as to afford to the Emperor intel.igence
of all that was passing in my household ?" " The Verona
and Milan affairs, Sire, were before my time," replied the
Duke ; " but at Hartwell, I am under the necessity of
avowing that we obtained all our information rbrough the
treachery of the Due D'Aurnont." " Not a bit!" cried
his Majesty, laughing heartily. " D'Au:nont and I were
both very poor. He received 4001 per annum out of the
2,0001., which you used to forward to him so regularly,
as the price of the secret information with which we
favoured you in Return ; but the balance was paid over
to me 1" The confusion of the new Minister may be rea—
dily conceived.

EXPLOITS OF A FIGHTING BISHOP.—In
one of the engagements between Richard Ctear de Leon
arid Philip of France, styled the Dieu Donne, the
Bishop of Beauvais was takon prisoner; he was hood by
the side of Philip, with his helmet on his head and a
lance in his hand ; and in the course of the battle bad
made great carnage among the English. Richard treated
him harshly, and locked biro up in a fortified tower. He
wrote a bitter complaint to the Pope that a churchman
should be so treated ; the Pope answered rationally
enough :—" You quitted the peaceful rule of the shep •
herd for the turbulence of war, the mitre for the ca-que,
the pastoral crook for the lance, the cup for the cuirass,
the ring for the sword, anti you write me word that evil
has befallen you. lam not astonished ; you sought—
well ! you have found ; you struck, and lo ! you are
stricken in your turn. However I shall write to Richard

to ask your deliverance." At the great battle of Bovines.
the same Bishop was again in arms, and distinguished
by an effusion

" John de Nivelle," said he, .. drag this Salisbury along

the Eogliabs knocking them down with his club right and
