belonging to a Newcastle collier, the Fame, bound to
Yarmouth, which had been wrecked. The pbor fellows
were so exhausted by fatigue and hunger, that they were no
longer able to use their oars.
The Surveyor-General of the Ordnance (Lieut.-

It will hardly be credited that, reduced as theatricals
have been to the lowest ebb, Mr. Tyrone Power has the
modesty, if we are to credit a statement in the papers, to
demand only 201. a night. for his services!

(FURTHER PARTICULARS.)
The arrangements made for the reception of their Royal
Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Vic-
toria hdve absorbed a large portion of the public attention
here during the last few days. The enthusiasm with which
the illustrious Visitors were received yesterday on their
arrival in this town was no doubt gratifying both to their Royal
Highnesses and the inhabitants. At an early hour in the
morning the busy din of preparation was heard, and trium-
phal arches were completed at the entrance of the town,
corner of Chapel-place, the Market and Albion-places,
adorned with flags and devices, with variegated lamps.
On their Royal Highnesses reaching their mansion (Al-
bion House), the Royal Standard was hoisted on the point
of the cliff immediately adjoining, where it will remain
triumphantly waving during the residence of the royal
party. The guns belonging to the pier, and the different
vessels in the harbour, fired a salute, and the utmost enthu-
siasm prevailed. Preparations were made for an illumina-
tion in several parts of the town, and in the evening there
was a blazing display at the different houses and arches ;
but unfortunately the wind being very high, many of the
lamps were blown out, and the intended effect was destroyed.
In the garden iii front of Chapel-place Mr. Townly delighted
a very numerous concourse of spectators by a brilliant dis-
play of fire-works. During the day immense numbers of
persons poured in from all parts of the surrounding country
to catch a glimpse of our illustrious visitors, and in the
evening the streets presented one moving mass.
To add to our gratification, about five o'clock yesterday
afternoon the Ferret steam-packet, Captain Hamilton, en-
tered the Harbour, having on board their Majesties the
King and Queen of the Belgians, and suite, amidst the roar
of cannon and shouts of thousands of spectators. They
were received on their -landing with due honour, and
escorted to the Albion Hotel, where two suites of apart-
ments had been already engaged for their reception. The
excitement caused by their arrival had scarcely ceased, when
the Duke of Nemours and suite drove through the town
(from London) to meet his Royal relatives. His Royal
Highness landed at this port a few weeks since on his ar-
rival in this country. We are informed that his stay here
will not be of long duration, as he is about to return to
France. His Majesty, the King of Belgium, will depart
for London in the course of a day or two, leaving his Royal
Consort here. The following address to the Duchess of
Kent and the Princess Victoria having been prepared,
their Royal Highnesses, signified their pleasure to receive it
at 11 o'clock this morning, at which hour it was presented.
" To their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and
Princess Victoria.
" May it please your Royal Highnesses,
" We, the inhabitants and visitors of RamSgate and its vi-
cinity, beg leave most respectfully to approach your Royal
Highnesses with sentiments expressive of gratitude for the
honour conferred on this town by your Royal Highnesses'
renewed visit.
" We beg also most respetfully to assure your Royal High-
nesses, that no exertions shall be wanting on our part to merit
this flattering mark of distinction.
" In thus approaching your Royal Highnesses, whilst we
earnestly hope that, through Divine Providence, you will long
enjoy prosperity, health, and happiness, we cannot refrain from
expressing, with gratitude undissembled, our full assurance that
the maternal care which has so anxiously watched over the
earlier years of the Heiress- Presumptive to the Throne of
these Realms will be repaid by the formation of such a cha-
racter as will adorn a British Crown, and entwine itself around
the hearts of a British people.
" We further most respectfully request that your Royal
Highnesses will deign to accept this expression of devoted and
sincere attachment from us, the dutiful and loyal subjects of our
august and beloved Sovereign."
The deputation was most graciously received, and Her
Royal Highness delivered the following reply :
" GENTLEMEN—I am sure you will easily believe that I
passed through the town of Ramsgate yesterday with many
gratified feelings. The Princess and myself have the most
agreeable recollections of the many happy days we have
spent here, and our hearts gratefully responded to the cordial
weleonie which all classes gave us yesterday.
" My maternal feelings, and those I owe the King and the
country, lead me to share with you in the hopes you express
relative to the Princess. It is the object of my life to render
her deserving of the affectionate solicitude she so universally
inspires, and to make her worthy of the attachment and re-
spect of a free and loyal people."
The town being also desirous to congratulate His Ma-
jesty the King of the Belgians on his arrival in England,
the following Address was presented to him at ten o'clock
this day :
" To his Majesty, the King of the Belgians,
We, the Inhabitants and Visitors of Ramsgate and its
vicinity, beg to approach your Majesty, upon your arrival on
the shores of England ; and recollecting, with feelings of
gratification, that this town has on former occasions been
honoured by your Royal presence, we feel every incentive
thus to offer to your Majesty our humble congratulations, ac-
companied by our warmest wishes for the health and welfare
of your Majesty and of your royal Consort, and for the happi.
ness of that nation over whose destinies your Majesty has been
called to preside."
Reply of his Majesty, the King of the Belgians.
" We return our warmest and best thanks to the Inhabitants
and visitors of Ramsgate and its vicinity, for the very cordial
and truly gratifying welcome which they gave us, on our ar-
rival on the shores of England.
The great kindness which the' Inhabitants of this town
have so constantly shewn me on former occasions, has been
gratefully recollected by me ; and it was, therefore, a source
of real pleasure to me to be able, after so many years, to visit

VIENNA, SEPT. 27.—The Turkish Ambassador
to Paris, Reschid Bey, arrived here yesterday from Con-
stantinople. This morning Prince Gustavus Vasa departed
for Toplitz. _ _ _

Lord Auckland and the Hon. Misses Eden, accom-
panied by the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Eden, left town at twelve
o'clock yesterday for Portsmouth, to embark for India.

The chere amie of a Noble Duke was nearly over-
turned in her carriage yesterday afternoon, at the entrance
to the. Regent's Park from the New-road, owing to the
horses taking fright at the barking of a dog. Mrs. W.
alighted, and walked to her residence in the vicinity, with-
out evincing much alarm.
The statue of the late King of Bavaria, Maxi-
milian Joseph, in bronze, was, on the sth inst., placed in
front of the new Palace at Munich. It weighs, including
the pedestal and the attributes, 400 quintals. The pe-
destal is 30 feet high. Its inauguration will take place on
the lath October, during the annual popular festival.
We,understand that the sentinel on duty at the new
steps leading into Duke-street from St. James's Park, was
molested in some way yesterday morning, and stabbed a boy
in the back. The boy was carried to a surgeon, and the
sentinel was removed by a sergeant, that the affair might be
investigated.

The Act of last session for the abolition of unne-
cessary oaths in the public departments comes into opera-
tion this day, when a declaration to the same purport as the
former oath will be substituted.

The New Monthly Magazine for October exhibits
an extraordinary instance of the variety of first-rate talent
introduced into the pages of a single number of this deser-
vedly popular periodical. It contains articles by Thomas
Campbell, Esq., the Author of .‘ The Pleasures of Hope,"
the late S. T. Coleridge, Barry Cornwall, Theodore Hook,
Mrs. S. C. Hall, John Poole, Esq., Miss Landon, N. P.
Willis, Esq., and Elliot, the author of Corn Law Rhymes,

The Society of Antiquaries of Autun recently pur-
chased a curious Gothic Chapel, which is said to have been
erected in 1247, at La Dree, by a Sieur Jehan de Couches,
after his return from the Crusades, and where he was in-
terred in the above year, as is evidenced by his epitaph,
which is still legible. The Chapel is seated in a deep wood,
but the society is about to have it removed to Autun, and
placed as,an appendage to the Cathedral. The Bishop has
offered to contribute to the expense.—Galignanis Mes-

MILITARY PREPARATIONS AT NAPLES.—
Extract of a letter of the 10th inst from Naples :—" A

the annual fete of Madonna di Pie di Grotta there was a
grand review of several corps of the army, and of all the
horse and foot National Guard. This is the first time
that this body has assembled in a complete state. It is
commanded by the Prince of Salerno, Commander-in- ,
Chief of the National Guards of the whole kingdom. Many
persons are quitting Naples from the fear of the cholera.
The Government also is alarmed at it, and troops are in
march on every side to reinforce the cordons on the fron-
tier. Really, when we contemplate so great a display of
force, w 6 are tempted to inquire if it be the dread of cho-
lera alone which puts these troops in motion."
A public dinner was given last Friday at Montrose
to P. Chalmers, Esq., M.P., in testimony of his Parliamen-
tary services. On his health being drank he made a long,
energetic, and very eloquent speech ; fully justifying the
high standard which his constituents had assigned to his
political principles.
Mr. O'Connell's triumphant progress through Scot-
land terminated at Kilmarnock on Friday. The last public
act of his ovation was performed there. The last words of
his thrilling accents rolled upwards to the sources of the
Irvine, and eddied around Loudon-hill. In every place
where he stopped, deputations from the surrounding dis-
tricts were in waiting to receive him. This, we are proud
to say, was O'Connell's reception in ‘. this Protestant and
Covenanting country." And why are we proud of this ?
Not because it was an honour done to O'Connell, though
we know him to be active, indefatigable, and eloquent, and
believe him to be honest ; but because it is to• us a proof
that the bigotry which self-seekers try to turn to their mil
advantage, no longer exists to any extent in Ow land.

The Brussels Papers state that the number of stran-
gers that came to that city for the fetes exceeded 100,000.
There was not a single innkeeper above mediocrity who
was not obliged to refuse admission to four times as many
persons as his inn would contain. Among the visitors was
the son of a farmer near Turnhout, a young giant, 9.6
years of age, and 7 feet 6 inches high. None of the beds
of the Hotel de Cologne, where he put up, were large
enough for him; and a bed was consequently made on the
floor.

you again.
" I you, also, for the kind wishes which you express
for the happiness of the nation whose destinies Providence has
been pleased to confide to my care ; we are near neighbours,
though separated by the sea, and I can assure you that in that
nation there exists a very warm and kindly feeling towards the
British nation.
" I cannot conclude without expressing, in return to you,
my earnest prayer for the welfare and happiness of this great,
good, and powerful nation. Through many years my fate has
been intimately connected with it, and I shall ever feel for it
the same warm and sincere attachment."
In the course of the day his Grace the Duke of .Wel-
lington drove in from Weimer Castle to pay his respects to
the Royal party.

REPROOF TO THE ENGLISII.—The English are
perhaps the only people in Europe who cannot be admitted
freely into public walks, gardens, or buildings, without com-
mitting some injury or nuisance. Names are cut oil trees
or benches, or something or other is mutilated or defaced.
It is very different on the continent. The public gardens
at Frankfort are only separated from a high road by a single
rail, and yet nothing is injured, although no one is excluded.
In these gardens, a nightingale had for many years built its
nest in a particular spot, close to one of the walks. It was
seen by every one, and yet no one molested it, until one day
a foreign servant saw and took it. When it became known,
the man was hunted by a mob, taken before the city autho-
rities, and the fact being proved, be was sentenced to have
his coat turned, to be drummed out of the city with every
mark of disgrace, and never to enter it again.—Jesse
Gleanings.
We recommend to the notice of schoolmasters and
others intrusted with the instruction of youth two works
on Arithmetic just published. The first of these is entitled
" The Young Arithmetician's Guide," by John Davidson,
A.M. The other is " Arithmetic Modernized," by John
Davidson, A.M. and Robert Scott, Edinburgh. These
books are really what they profess to be, admirably suited
for the instruction of youth. The authors have had much
experience in tuition, and, as might have been expected
from that circumstance, the works they have produced are
free from all that antiqUated matter with which most of
the previous works on this subject abound, while they are
completely stored with what is useful and practical. The
illustrations of commercial subjects appear to us to be par-
ticularlfuseful and judicious, and full of information.
THE WODHULL PEERAGE —We extract the fol-
lowing from the Leicester Journal :—" We learn that the
title of the ancient barony, De Wahul, or Wodhull, is
likely to be restored to its proper heir, S. Chapman, Esq.,
of LuttervvortlL A petition to that effect has lately been
presented by that gentleman to the House of Lords ; and,
we understand, his claim has been referred to the Com-
mittee of Privileges, with an order to be heard by counsel."
Mr. Wodhull was a man of considerable literary fame ; he
wrote a volume of original poems, and translated Euripides
—he is mentioned in the " Bibliographical Decameron," by
the Rev. Thomas Frognall Dibdin, and in Chalmers's Bio-
graphical Dictionary. Mr. Wodhull was a gentleman of
great eccentricity.
MONEY MARKET, WEDNESDAY.—A change has
recently taken place in the mode of transacting business
between the Bank of England and the branch banks in the
country, which claims some notice, as all such changes are
productive more or less of inconvenienoo to the public.
Heretofore- the practice was, when payments were to be
made in London through the branch banks, for the
