faction to those who viewed it, and which their Majesti Ivo wer°

mined to have such parts of it repaired as were injured by the
pressure of the crowd, and that it should remain over 'A iondaY

HATFIELD-HOUSE.—This ancient and noblie man-
sion will be thrown open for the reception of a fashion able and
distinguished circle for two days a-week during the rel nainder
of the season. The Marquis and Marchioness of So lisbury•
with their fair daughters, the Ladies Cecil, have left Grafton-
street for Hatfield, and will only occasionally visit their town
residence. The Duke of Wellington, and a large party.. have
been amongstt the number invited to partake of the festihities
at Hatfield-House. His Grace and a distinguished party dine

Lord King and his bride (" Ada" Byron) have
taken a cottage near Porlock, in Somersetshire, for their
honeymoon residence. It is situated in a romantic spot near
the cliff of Culbone, where the Noble Lord has always been a
great favorite among his tenantry. The bride and brid,groonl
were received by the whole population with great and heartfelt
rejoicings.
We insert the following as we received it from our
Salisbury correspondent :—" Mr. Thomas Gill, son of Mr'
Gill, of the French Horn Inn, Sarum, was married on the
28th of June, at St. Edmund's Church, Salisbury, by the
Rev. Dr. Hawes, to a Miss Angell, late of Newfoundlanti,.
by which marriage he will shortly come into th? possession 0'
a number of estates and money, amounting in valize to
1,000,0001., left by a Mr. Angell, who died some 60 pears
since. The Chrois estate, near Lambeth, forms part of the
landed property, and to possess which he must bear the name
and arms of the Angell family. He is at present the mad'
cart man on the line of road from Warminster to Sarum.''-'
Devizes Gazette.

THE DANUBE.—The picturesque shores of this
mighty river have not often been visited by English travellers.
The Rhine has been described till one almost wearies oi the
name; but the grander Danube is comparatively unknown
among us. Mr. Quin has just returned from a steam voyage
down the latter river, and summer tourists may learn by the
narrative about to be published of his excursion, what pleasures
lie within their reach in a six weeks' visit to the countries
through which the Danube flows. In such a tour, and with
so circumstantial a guide as will be furnished by 11fr. Quin 's
volumes, they may see many interesting parts of frungry,
Wallachia, Servia, and Turkey ; and to the mere " arm-calf
traveller," the perusal will open fresh and romantic scenes'
and enlarge the sphere of his information.
Captain Stewart, of the brig Mary Russell, which
put into Cork near seven years ago, after he had murdered
seven or eight of his crew in a supposed fit of mental abet-
ration, is now quite recovered, and about to leave the lunatic
asylum in that city, which has ever since been burthened with
his support. He is a native of Derry.—Limerick- Chronicle.
Dr. Gregory relates of himself that he dreamed he
was on the top of Mount Etna, and that his feet were much
burnt by his near approach to the crater. This dream arose
from his having a bottle of hot water to his feet, and he had
shivered whilst it was there. He had been reading a abort
time before of a journey to the top of that mountain..
The person who made the attempt upon the Duke
of Saxe-Weimar is a confirmed lunatic, and will be treated
as such.
The Count de Bourmont and his wife have been at
Leghorn for some days past. The youngest son is gone to
Genoa. Among the persons of distinction there is the widow
of Eugene Beauharnais. The Kings of Sardinia and Naples'
who are relations of the Grand Duke, are expected shortly. ,
We observe the able article in the British aid
Foreign Review, attributed to Lord Brougham, on the
" French Government and Parties," has been translated, and
is going the round of the Papers both of France and Belgium.
The sum drawn by Madame Malibran, during her
recent engagement at the two Royal Theatres, somewhat ex-
coeds 10,0001., out of which Mr. Bunn paid her for her serviecs

THE SPA NISII EXPEDITION.—A recruiting depot
for marines for the Spanish service has been opened in the
neighbourhood of the Tower, and for a rifle brigade at Union- .
street, in the Borough. A depot has also been opened for
recruiting for the artillery at Blackheath. On Thursday, the
whole of the men who had been staying at Kingston were
taken down by the Diana steamer to the Lord Lynedoeh,in
the river opposite Gravesend, which is to convey them to then;
destination. Yesterday was devoted to the ewbarkation 0'
the horses belonging to the officers. The most oederly con-
duct is shown by the men on board.
It has generally been reported to-day (Friday) that
the West India loan is on the point of being negociateci, ana
also that it is intended to contract for the whole 20,000,0001-
at once. The various delays and disappointments which have
occurred with respect to this operation have prevented the
rumour from gaining general credit, but in the more select
circles of the monied interest it is believed. The expectation
there is, further, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer . in-
tends to assign 100/. Consols for every 1001. money, with such
a portion of per Cents., in which stock the biddings are W
take place, as may be agreed on, the parties offering to tako
the smallest amount in it, becoming of course the successful
contractors. It is also supposed, that in order to prevent the
operation from pressing with any undue weight upon the
money-market, the instalments will be small, and so distant
from oach other as to be spead over a period of two years be'
fore the whole of the payments are completed. This is nut
to be received, however, as the arrangement absolutely fixed
on, as no official intimation is yet given on the subject, and the
ministerial plan may still have many changes to undergo be-
fore it is actually submitted to the monied interest for compe-
tition."—Morning Paper.

It is in contemplation to establish a new police--
office for the extensive districts of Knightsbridge, Kensington'
the Gravel-pits, Acton, Turnham-green, Chiswick, Fulham,
Parson's-green, and part of Chelsea, Paddington, and Ham-
mersmith.

ACCIDENT TO ONE OF HIS MAJESTY'S SErt°
VANTS.-We are sorry to say that on his Majesty's return
from Lord Mansfield's on Thursday evening a serious acci-
dent occurred to one of his gentlemen riders, Gustavus Le-
mene, Esq., occasioned by the furious driving of a cabriolet,
which caused his horse to rear, and throw him beneath his
Majesty's carriage, the fore-wheels of which passed over his
legs. His Majesty, with his usual humane feeling, imme-
diately stopped his carriage, and ordered medical assistance to..
be procured, when, fortunately, Mr. Simpson, surgeon, 01
Bedford-street, being on the spot, bled the gentleman, and
rendered every assistance necessary. We are happy to say that
he is doing well.
NEWPORT, MONMOUTIISIIIRE.-CHURCH RATV•

---- -
—On Thursday last, at a very numerous vestry, it was deter-
mined, by a majority of 39, that the consideration of granting
a rate be postponed to Ist July, 1836. The circumstances
connected with this proceeding are extraordinary, and bay°
produced great excitement. The proposal of a rate was in ex-
press violation of a compact made two years ago, that if a rate
were then consented to, it should be the last. At a vestry, 3
week previous to the present, the party for the rate, seeing they
had no chance of success, stopped the business, by alleging
that their friend, the churchwarden, had neglected to put the
notice on the church door, and therefore the meeting was not
legal. The vicar, as chairman, .sva.a induced by the party for
the r ite to refuse to put the qu( Btlon to a show of hands ; to
refus to allow the borough and parish to decide the question
separately, according to immemorial usage ; and to vacate the
chair so soon as the party for the rate had polled all they bad
(as early as half-past two o'clock) while voters against the rate
continued to poll without so much as two minutes' intermission.
A strong protest, respectably signed, was presented against
the illegal proceeding. Another chairman was forthwith
elected ; a vote of censure was passed on the vicar ; the post-
ponement of the rate was declared to be carried by a majority
of thirty-nine, and the meeting adjourned to the Ist of
July, 1836.
VENUS AND BACCHUS.—On Wednesday, a youth
who gave his name " Fry," was brought before the magistrates
at Hatton-garden charged with being found in the house of
a Mr. Boddv, of Islington, under somewhat suspicious circurn-
stances. Complainant on his return home late at night Was
unable to make his servant maid hear his knocks at the door,

and losing patience he determined to entei:—.1;;;;1;;;I; way'
when he met the girl, Sarah Waite, on the stairs. Her dress
was disordered and her manner confused ; and on questioning
her, she confessed, after some hesitation, that she had a ge°;
tleman in her bed-room. On proceeding up stairs he found
the prisoner half undressed. The bed was tumbled, and on
the table there was a bottle of wine with which the amorous

couple had been regaling themselves. He immediately
them into custody. The male prisoner was ordered to fin
bail; and the female was then placed at the bar, charged witu
stealing the wine from her master's cellar. She was remanded

ror futu"re examination.

It is stated from Constantinople, that the insurrec-
tion in Upper Albania way gaining ground rapidly. The C%"
-Pacha of Tripoli had arrived at Constantinople: and had been.
promised another Padalie.
