Huntingdonshire; the Marquis and Marchioness of Clanricarde,
from St. James's-square, on a visit to the Duke of Devonshire,
at his seat, Chatsworth, Derbyshire; Hon. Colonel Wyndham,
for his seat, in Sussex; Lady Julia Howard, from Park-street,
Grosvenor-square, for the Marquis of Stafford's seat, West Hill,
Surrey ; Lady Macdonald, from Raggett's Hotel, Dover-street,

tinent; the Countess of Gosford and Lady Olivier Acheson,

Belvidere, Kent, for their seat, Broughton Castle, Oxford ;

son's Hotel, Cavendish-square.

Lord GREY leaves the North certainly on
Thursday, for town, where he it expected to arrive on
Saturday evening, as he travels direct.

The Archbishop of PARIS, at the close of
the American war, thus addressed his congregation :
" Years (said be) may pass away, before the two people
will perfectly understand each other; but the day must
come, when, in spite of their rulers, France and Eng-
land shall command all nations to remain at peace, and
the nations will obey."

The Marquis of CHANDOS dined at the mar-
ket table at Aylesbury on Saturday week with 120 of the
most respectable farmers in the county. At the dinner
it was agreed to form an Agricultural Society for tlie
support and protection of the general interests of agri-
culture.

Lord and Lady STUART DE ROTIISAY are
gone to Scotland. On their way from Luton, the Marquis
of BuTE's seat, to the north, they paid a short visit to the
Loan CHANCELLOR, at Brougham Hall. Although of
adverse politics to those of the CHANCELLOR, a personal
friendship has always existed between the Noble and
Learned B iron and our late Minister at the Court of the
King of the FRENCH. Thirty years ago, when they were
plain Mr. Cii ARLES STUART and Mr. HENRY BROUGHAM,
they were travelling companions on the Continent.

. .. .
The Marquis of AYLESBURY, who is in his
60th year, is about to lead to the hymeneal altar the beau-
tiful and highly accomplished Miss Mama. TOLLEMACHE,
the grand-daughter of the Countess of Drawly'', who has
not yet passed her 21st year. Sir C. 'WETHERELL is re-
ported to have been one of her many unsuccessful suitors.
—Chester Chronicle.

We learn from quarters we can rely upon, that
the merchants of Oporto have placed at the disposal of
Don PEDRO twenty-two thousand pipes of wine, all of
which are being embarked for England. At 351. a pipe,
it would yield 770,0001. We know it for a certain fact,
that one of the princip►l houses in the city, last week, con-
tracted for a supply of 5,000 stand of small arms and
clothing, to be delivered iu a short time.—Morn. Chron.

A son of the present Earl of THANET, a
youth of great promise and mental acquirements, died at
Hothfield last week, of a pulmonary consumption.

The Earl of THANET, as we previously
mentioned, is thoroughly repairing his noble house at Hoth.
field, which the late Earl, from motives highly honourable
to himself, had permitted to fall into decay. There are
now nearly 100 artisans employed in the interior and on
the exterior of the building; so that by Christmas it is
expected Hothfield House will resume the splendour it once
had, when SACKVILLE, the ninth Earl, who died in Paris
in 1825, entertained SHERIDAN, Fox, Boaxx, WYNn-
HAM, FITZPATRICK, HARE, Sir PHILIP FRANCIS, and the
Prince of WALES, a month together, during several years.

On Monday last, the Right Hon. the Earl
of THANET was elected Alderman of the borough of Ap.
pleby, vacant by the death of his brother, the late Earl.
The Rev. THOMAS BELLA S, of Bongate, was also elected
Mayor for the ensuing year.—Carlisle Patriot.

Died, on Wednesday last, at his seat at
Swainstone, Isle of Wight, Sir FITZWILLIA3I BARRING-
TON, Bart., aged 75. Sir FITZWILLIAM has died without
male issue, and the title, which was a creation of 1611, has
become extinct ; his estates descend to his eldest
daughter, the wife of Sir RICHARD SIMEON, Bart. Sir
FITawILLIAM was a descendant of one of the most ancient
families in this kingdom, who held estates in Essex long
before the Norman conquest, and of which estates Sir
FITZWILLIAM died possessed.
It is not expected that Sir CHARLES WE-
THERELL will be required to visit Bristol during the pre-
sent month in his capacity of Recorder, as there are no
prisoners confined in the gaol of that city on capital
charges. It is rather singular that there has not been
one capital felony at Bristol since the riots of October last.
GERALDINE HAMILTON.—This work pro-
mises, according to report, to be one of the most curious
and attractive novels ever laid before the public. The
subject Alone, independently of circumstances connected
with its authorship, could not fail to ensure fixed atten-
tion, as showing the dangers to which a young lady is ex-
posed who is thrown into trying situations, without the
protection of friends, and relying on herself alone for pro-
tection.

We are informed, by what we consider good
authority, that the Chancellor does not intend to fill up
the vacancy in the Court of Review occasioned by the
death of Sir A. PELT,.

It is a remarkable coincidence, and worthy of
observation, that in Sir WALTEn. ScoTr's prospectus to
the: last edition of the Waverley Novels, he stated that
" the work will be comprised in 40 volum s, commencing
with Waverley and closing with Woodsto..k." The 40th
volume, which contains the conclusion of Woodstock, was
published this month. This month the great novelist died !
Mademoiselle GARNERIN nearly lost her
life in an aerial voyage which she lately undertook at War-
saw. She left her balloon in a parachute, which, in the
descent, came upon a poplar tree, and she was thrown
out. One of her arms was broken, and she was other-
wise severely injured.
Lord MINTO has arrived at Berlin, and all
Count Pozzo ax BORGO'S diplomatic arts will be in vain
to stir up Austria to a new crusade against liberty.
STUTTGARD, SEPT. 20.--M.Von HERZOG,
Counsellor of State, to whom his 111a.nisTr confided, on
the 30th of April, the office of Minister of Finance, ad
interim, died to.day.—
Frankfort Paper, Sept. 24.
Proofs have recently been made of the French
Colonel PAIXHAN'S cannon for carrying bombs. The
Military Governor of Antwerp, and the whole staff of the
artillery, having assembled at Bra,sehaet, the experiments
began with a gun of 10 inch diameter in the bore ; the
projectile weighed 1301 b. English, and was carried an
immense distance, without any detriment whatever to the
accuracy of its direction. The experiment was repeated
with equal result from an 8-inch gun. The range of
these shells was computed to be 3,000 metiss, or 3;29,1
yards. Canister shot air; lac launched from the Colonel's
guns wish most destructive efficacy. Successive experi•
ments of their power were made with diameters of 8 and
10 inches—in other words, with a box containing 545
balls, and weighing 1281 b., and with another containing
947 halls, and weighing 23616.; their effect Was truly ap-
palling.— United SyrviecJourna/.

The number of troops landed at Oporto
from the Britomart on the 21st was 1,000 men, all well.
trained soldiers.—Morning Piper.—[We think there
must be some mistake here. The Britomart is hardly
large enough to carry 1,000 men ; perhaps 500 would be
nearer the mark.]
TRIAL OF THE BRISTOL MAGISTRATES.
—Subpoenas were yesterday (Friday) served on several
inhabitants of this city, to attend in the Court of King's
Bench, on the 25th of October, as witnesses on the trial
of CHARLES PINNxv, Esq., which is fixed to come on
on that day. In the near approach of this inquiry into
the conduct of our Chief Magistrate, and which involves
also that of his colleagues, during the late outrages, we
forbear going into the question further than to remark that
if the verdict be in their favour, we hope their innocence
will he satisfactorily demonstrated by the evidence; if
otherwise, that ample justice will be done to the city at
large.—Bristol Mercury.

The 17 theatres in Paris will contain altoge-
ther about 21,000 persons. The highest price of admis-
sion to the French and Italian opera-houses is 10 francs ;
the lowest in the Boulevards theatres is 15 centimes. In
the environs of Paris there are nine minor houses, and in
the departments 32, in addition to 34 strolling companies.
The commercial accounts from Canton, re-
ceived yesterday, state that it was understood there that
the East India Company had sent out orders to the Select
Committee not to adopt any course which might have a
tendency to bring them in collision with the Chinese autho-
rities ; and that, should any impediments be throw❑ in
the way of the trade, the members of the Select Coln-
mittee were to leave Canton, rather than risk any hostile
demonstration. It was fully expected in Canton that
something would be done by the Imperial Parliament, be-
fore the charter of the East India Company was renewed,
to prevent, if possible, the recurrence of the interruptions
in the tea trade that had occurred. The Select Commit-
tee had disposed of all their investments in long cloths, to
the extent of 26,200 pieces. Important despatches, it
was said, had been received out by the Select Committee
from London, the contents of which some anxiety was ma-
nifested to ascertain.

The Madras Gazette of the 20th of May
contains a letter, dated the 10th, from Coringa, giving an
account of a hurrican which had been felt on the previous
day. The roofs of houses and trees were flying in the air,
and many vessels completely capsized, with keels upwards.
Not less than seventy native crafts are said to have been
driven into the country. The Jane and the Britannia
were both brought up by some rising grounds near a pa-
goda, but which, by making a channel of 200 yards, could
be got into the river. A new ship, building, was blown
off the stocks, and washed into the river. The devasta-
tion was very great, and would be long felt, as all the
tanks were filled with salt water.

CAUTION TO SPORTSMEN.—On Saturday a
distressing accident happened to Mr. BURROWES, of
Lower Edmonton, while shooting with a friend at Hat.
field, on the estate of the Marquis of SALISBURY. Mr.
BURROWES had just jumped over a hedge, and his friend
was in the act of following him, with his fowling-piece
uncocked, when the hammer was caught by a twig,
which partially raised it, allowing it to descend with suffi-
cient force to discharge the gun, when the whole of its con-
tents were lodged in the calf of Mr. BURROWES'S leg,
shattering it in so dreadful a manner that it is feared am•
putation will be necessary.
On Tuesday last, a whale was cast ashore on
Coquet Island, in a sickly state, and, on being discovered
by the old man who is keeper of the island, it being ebb
tide, the monster, finding the water leaving him, made a des-
perate struggle to escape. The inhabitant of the island not
being usually honoured with a visitor of such dimensions,
immediately hoisted his flag for assistance from the land,
which was promptly attended to by the Hauxley fisher-
men, who arrived in time to assist the seaman, and they
succeeded in capturing the whale, after firing several shots
and piercing it with a spear. It measured 50 feet.—
Newcastle Courant.

A REGAL LUNATIC.—CHRISTIAN the
Seventh of Denmark, who died in ISOS, it is well known
was long a lunatic. He knew one written document from
another by its outward appearance, but seemed to delight
in affixing his signature any where but on the fitting spot.
Here he would decorate it with letters as large as the sheet
itself, and there be would sketch all sorts of grotesque
figures upon it, or subscribe some important decree of the
cabinet, like a Cockney chapman, with the words " Chris-
tian and Company." It was no rare occurrence for the
stricken monarch to labour hard at inditing his signature
for an hour or two, and then, sending his pen to the fur-
thest corner of the apartment, cry out, " We will no more;
we've signed enough to-day !" He was one day conversing
with a foreign envoy, when he suddenly stroked his pro-
boscis, exclaiming, "If your master's nose had been pulled
so long as my servants have pulled [sine, his wo-41d be
just as long as my own." Those who dined at his table
usually made no account of his royal presence, but chatted,
roared, and amused themselves, as if he had been a thou-
sand miles from the spot. On one occasion, some ladies
on either side of him, having bent across him for the
purpose of whispering some secret into one another'a ears,
he pushed each of their heads back into its proper place,
then threw his clenched hands on the table, looked round
with fury in his eyes, and raising his voice to its loudest
pitch, ro,red out amidst their revels, " Suppose I should
suddenly cow to the right use of my senses again—what
next would you expect?" You might have heard a feather
drop on the ground as the posing, thundering query e,hoed
in their ears. There was not a soul preaent but quaked
at the proof of returning sanity; nor did his MAJxsry
choose to relieve them, of their anxiety for several minutes.
