TFER SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOMM, 20, 1835

and the Princes paid marked attention to it. Much of the
speech was a tasteful and merited eulogium on the virtues
and amiable qualities of her Majesty.
Her Majesty, as soon as the business at the Theatre was
closed, proceeded to the Town Hall. Both inside and out
it was greatly crowded. She was received by the Mayor
at the entrance, and led to the Council Chamber by Lord
Howe. Upon taking her seat upon the temporary Throne
the Town Clerk read the following Address in a distinct
and audible voice :
" TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.

" Madam—We, his Majesty's most dutiful subjects, the
Mayor, Bailiffs, and commonalty of the city of Oxford, beg
leave to approach your Majesty with our sincere and hearty
congratulations on your arrival in this ancient and loyal city,
accompanied by your august sister, the Duchess of Saxe
Weimar, and his Royal Highness Prince George of Cam-
bridge.
" We assure your Majesty, that with the nation at large,
we rightly appreciate your amiable qualities, and entertain a
due sense of the kindness and condescension uniformly evinced
by your Majesty towards the subjects of these realms from the
time of your happy union with your illustrious consort, our most
gracious Sovereign.
" Permit us to avail ourselves of the opportunity which the
honour of your Majesty's visit pleasingly affords, to add that
our fidelity to the Throne of this great empire, and our at-
tachment to the person of his Majesty, continue firm and
unshaken, and that we ardently hope his Majesty's reign may
be long and happy.
" Given under our common seal, the 16th day of October, in
the year 1835."

Her Majesty returned a gracious answer. The Mayor
and other civil authorities were then presented to her Ma-
jesty by Lord Howe, and were most graciously received.
We noticed upon the platform Lord Fitzroy Somerset,
the Earl of Rosslyn, and Lord Churchill.
Captain John Fane, the High Sheriff of the county,
commanded his own, the Wallingford, corps of yeomanry.
They were relieved at Benson by a troop of Lord
Churchill's regiment. Her Majesty, very considerately,
once or twice, put her hand out of the carriage, and in-
quired whether the carriage was not proceeding too rapidly
for the yeomen ?
She expressed herself much pleased with the collation
that was in readiness, and seemed to notice, with much
approbation, the reception-room fitted up for the occasion.
It contained eighteen chairs, and three sofas, covered with
white satin ; and upon each was a painting, in which were
represented some of the most striking and poetical incidents
in the immortal story of that renowne Knight Dori Quixote.

Her Majesty was handed out of the carriage by Lord
Howe ; and Mr. Griffith, the landlord, showed her Majesty
up stairs, whose attention she acknowledged very affably.

Clair and family ; Lady Clayton, at the Regent Hotel ;
Mr. Quintin Dick, M.P., from Buxton ; Sir Charles and
Lady Hulse, at the Royal Hotel ; George Robinson, Esq.,
M.P., at ditto ; Honourable Lady Hope, at the Lans-
downe Hotel ; Sir Joseph O'Halloran, in Portland-street ;
Sir T. Martin, R.N., Mr. and Mrs. and Miss Douglas,

Hotel. Departures—Honourable Mrs. Cochrane, Hon.
W. Newton, for town ; Hon. Mrs. R. Moore, Colonel
French, Mr. and Mrs. Otway Cave, &c.

QUEEN'S COUNTY.—Ballyfinn-house, the resi-
dence of Sir Charles Coote, has been the scene of much
gaiety and hospitality during the last fortnight. Among
the company were the Marquisses of Lansdowne and
Downshire, Count de Salis, Mr. Spring Rice, Judge
Moore, &c.

THE DUKE OF ORLEANS.—The Messager says
that the Prince Royal is ambitious of taking part in the expe-
dition now fitting out by France against Oran, near Algiers.
PROTESTANT ASSOCIATIONS. —We observe
with pain, that the Glasgow Synod of our National Church
have recommended the establishment of a Protestant Asso-
ciation in every parish where it can be accomplished. A
measure more injurious to religion, or more contrary to the
genuine spirit of Christianity can scarcely be conceived.—
Scots Times.

MR. SIIEIL'S DINNER.—We expect that the pro-
posed dinner to our excellent reptesentative, Mr. Shell,
will be given here on the 29th instant.—Tipperary Free
Press.

A dinner was given to C. A, Walker, Esq., M.P.,
at Wexford, on Tuesday evening.

Monday a public dinner was given by a number of
the friends of the Church of Scotland, in. honor of the Rev.
George Lewis, on his retiring from the editorship of the
Scottish Guardian, and in acknowledgment of his able exer-
tions in defence of the Church of Scotland, and for the im-
provement of the educational institutions of the country.
MR. POULETT TrromsoN.—We regret to learn
that the state of health of our Right Hon. Representative is
such that there is but little prospect of his being able to
fulfil his purpose of visiting Manchester this autumn. Mr.
Thomson, it is pretty generally known, had a rather alarm-
ing fit of illness in August, from which he was just recover-
ing when he was visited by an attack of gout, so severe that
for the last two months he has been unable to set his foot to
the ground. Though now a little better, he is still unable
to get out, and can scarcely expect to recover his strength
for a considerable time. Under these circumstances, the
intention which, at his election in April last, he announced
to his friends, of re-visiting them during the present month,
of course cannot be realized ; and it is very doubtful whether
he will be able to do so this year.—Manchester Guardian.

Last Sunday the whole of the Clergymen in Paisley
received circulars from some " friend to the agricultural
interest," suggesting the propriety of recommending the
farmers to take advantage of the weather being favourable
for leading in any of their grain still exposed. So far as
we can learn, the advice was not complied with in any in-
stance.—Glasgow Chronicle.
CUPAR, Oct. B.—The famous Member for the
Burghs made an unlooked-for visit to this town to-day, and
soon after issued circulars to the electors, requesting them
to meet him on the following evening to receive an account
of his stewardship. The circular, it was observed, finished
with " your faithful obedient," just as if the subscriber had
not broken faith and been guilty of disobedience to his
constituents. The electors, on receiving the circular, lost
no time in holding a meeting among themselves, and passing
the following resolutions :—At a meeting of Liberal Elec-
tors of Cupar, held in the George inn, on Bth October,
1835, Provost Honeyman in the chair, it was resolved, Ist,
That this meeting are surprised to understand that Mr.
Andrew Johstone, M.P. has issued an advertisement—re-
questing the electors to meet him here to-morrow evening.
2d, That, considering the conduct of Mr. Johnston, in re-
fusing to resign his scat in Parliament when called upon by
nearly all his former supporters, in terms of the solemn
pledge given by him, this meeting are clearly of opinion that
the liberal electors ought not to attend the meeting called
by Mr. Johnston, as no explanations which he can possibly
have to offer can prove satisfactory, or render him deserving
of the countenance implied in attending such a meeting, un-
less he had previously redeemed his pledge by tendering his
resignation. 3d, That these resolutions be printed and cir-
culated in this district of burghs.—Kelso Chronicle.

The calculations relative to the amount the old hop
duty will pay were yesterday as follows :—Kent, 155,0001.;
Sussex, 70,000/. ; Worcester, 15,0001. ; Farnham, 4,000/. ;
and the rest of England, 6,000/. Total, 250,0001. The
betting is rather against the sum being wholly realized.

A -PA RSON IN DISGRACE.—The Presbytery of
Cupar met on Tuesday last, and proceeded to take up anew
the case of the Rev. Cathcart Drysdale, accused of drun-
kenness, fighting, swearing, and other conduct unbecoming
the office of the holy ministry. A number of witnesses were
examined, a4er which, the Rev. Mr. Birrell moved that
sentence of deposition, &c., be passed on the Rev. C. Drys-
dale, which being seconded by the Rev. Mr. Kyd, was agreed
to unanimously ; from which sentence Mr. Deas, on behalf
of Mr. Drysdale, appealed, for reasons subsequently to be
given in.----Kelso Chronicle.
POWER OF LOCOMOTIVE ENGINES. Or"
time
since, upwards of 800 persons left LivernP :ill in trains of
carriages propelled by two engines, to attend the Races
at Newton. On the way an accident occurred to one of
the engines, which disabled it, and both trains were at-
tached to the remaining* engine, which took the whole
party the distance, 15 miles, in the space of an hour.
THE SILK TRADE.—Yesterday the East India
Company's quarterly sale of Bengal raw silk commenced
at the India House, and was very fully attended by the ma-
nufacturers and others engaged in the trade. The sale began
with much animation, the recent activity which has prevailed
at Manchester, Macclesfield, and other places, where the
silk manufacture is carried on, having considerably reduced
the stocks on hand. The Company's declaration of Bengal
raw silks amounted to 2,000 bales, and up to the close of
yesterday's sale 572 bales were bought by or on behalf of
the manufacturers, and at prices, on the lowest estimate, full
10 per cent. higher than the same qualities realized at the
last sale. The whole quantity put up to-day was taken, not
a single bale having been rejected. The declaration will be
got through, it is expected, by Wednesday next, there being
no China or private trade silks announced.

By advices from Chili, we learn that the National
Congress was about establishing four classes of gold money,
viz., doubloons, half-doubloons, quarter-doubloons, and
crowns. The gold mark was valued at 8i doubloons, each
being worth 16 piastres. There was also to be six lasses
of silver money, viz., piastres, or eight real pieces, four real
pieces, two real pieces, reals, half-reals, quarter-reals or
silver marks. The silver mark was valued at 8- piastres
each, worth 272 maravades. There were to be two classes
of copper money, viz., the centavos and the half-centavos.
Only 30,000 piastres of this money was to be put in im-
mediate circulation.

A melancholy suicide was committed on Wednesday
week, by Thomas Decey Colton, Esq., at Curwed Woods,
near Burton, a magistrate of the county of Westmoreland.
The deceased bad long shown symptoms of mental aberra-
tion, and proper precautions had been taken ; but unfortu-
nately having got possession of a razor, he retired to his
room, which he locked, and was immediately followed, but
before the door could be forced, he had terminated his exis-
tence by cutting his throat. An inquest was held before
Richard Wilson, Esq. Verdict, " Temporary insanity."—
Carlisle Journal.

MASSACRE AT PARA.—By accounts from Para
yesterday, it appears that prior to the attack of that place
by the Indians, they had attacked Vigia, an important town
a few leagues from Para, had taken and sacked it, and had
massacred all the white population, not even sparing the
children ; nor was the sanctuary of the church respected.
It was discovered at Para that a conspiracy existed between
those who in appearance had submitted to the President
sent from Rio Janeiro and the revolters outside, and, in con-
sequence, Vinaiger, the President of the Liberals, and a
number of his partisans, had been arrested. This, how-
ever, only led to the earlier attack of Para, the leader of
the insurgents being his brother, and inducing them to the
attack under pretence of effecting his liberation, the melan-
choly results of which arc already recorded.
Yesterday morning, between twelve and one o'clock,
Os one of the Dulwich coaches was proceeding from the
stables in Great Queen-street, through Little Wild-street,
a remarkably fine lad, nearly eight years of age, having got
up behind the coach, was, suddenly losing, his hold, forced
between the hind off 'wheel and the body of the vehicle.
The coach had passed about twenty yards with the boy in
this fearful position, when it was stopped by the driver, who
drew up.his horses as soon as it was in his power to do so.
The extent of the injury was then seen. The poor little
sufferer's leg had locked in the wheel, which, by its evolu-
tions, had literally torn the leg completely out of the socket.
So firmly was he held between the nave of the wheel and
the under part of the carriage, that it was found necessary
to remove the wheel before the poor creature could be dis-
engaged. When this had been done, and the boy was lifted
up, his right leg dangling by 4 single muscle, the thigh hone
bare for tiYq jgclt@s3 Litathe flesh hanging about in shreds,
there was a thrill of horror and shriek of agony from both
men and women in the large crowd which had assembled.
It was the most agonizing wail that we ever heard. The
lad was taken to Charing-cross Hospital, Rd Ole driver,
though blameless, to Bow-street
