The deliveries fall off, principally from the apathy
shown by the trade ; they appear determined not to
purchase until their wants absolatcly require it In the
meantime the holders here and the Russians seem in-
clined to look on. The shipments from St. Petersburgh

BERLIN, AUG. 9.—"1 cannot quit the soil of my coun-
try, though only for a short time, without publicly ex-
pressing in my own name and that of the Queen the
deeply felt gratitude which fills our hearts ; it is excited
by the innumerable proofs of affection to us, both verbal
and in writing,-which we have received, and were called
forth by the attempt of the 26th of July ; that affection
which loudly greeted us at the instant of the crime,
when the hand of the Almighty averted the deadly shot
from my breast. Looking up to my heavenly Preserver,
I proceed with fresh courage to my daily work, to com-
plete what is begun, to carry into execution what is pre-
pared, to combat evil with increased certainty of victory,
and to be to my people everything that my high vocation
lays upou me as a duty, and which the love of my people
deserves.

(Signed) " FREDERICK WILLIAM.
"Erdmansdorff, Aug. 5, 1844."
Accounts from Erdmansdorff of the sth say that their
Majesties the King and Queen were perfectly well, and
intended to set out on the 6th, in the morning, for
Ishel. The Queen will remain there for some time, but
the King, after stopping only one day, intends going to
Vienna, and to be back at Erdmansdorff on the 17th of
this month.

QUEEN-SQUARE.--(THIS DAY.)
A respectably-dressed young man was placed at the
bar before Mr. Burrell on the following charge:—
Sergeant Parkinson, of the Honourable East India
Company's service, said the defendant enlisted into one
of the artillery regiments of the East India Company on
Friday last, and the whole of the routine business in
respect to recruits was gone through, and he was
brought to that office on Saturday to have
the oath of allegiance administered to him.
Whilst the Magistrate was affixing his name to the docu-
ments, and the usher of the Court had read the oath to
him, he suddenly threw down the book, and refused to
be swore. The Sergeant further said the man was an
attested recruit, and that, according to the Act of Parlia-
ment relating to the enlisting of recruits, he was a
bona fide soldier.
Mr. BURRELL differed in opinion. The Act gave
magistrates the power of discharging persons who had
hastily enlisted, if they had not taken the oath of alle-
giance, and made application to him to be released from
the obligations into which they had entered within four
days from the date of their enlisting. Was the young
man willing to pay the usual smart money?
The young man said he was willing to pay it.
Sergeant Parkinson begged to call the Magistrate's
attention to that portion of the Act which said, " that
if ho (the recruit) will not take the oath of allegiance,
he is to be detained until he will do so."
Mr. BURRELL said that rested with those under whom
the sergeant acted. He could not detain him. He was
willing to give the subject mature consideration, and to
hear the question, with any new arguments in support
of the view taken of it by the sergeant, or by his supe-
rior officer, at a future day.
The parties then left the Court.

COLONEL DENDAS.—It may be remembered that
some months since Colonel Dundas, whilst at the dinner
table of a Noble Lord, and no doubt somewhat heated
with wine, was guilty of uttering some very disrespectful
observations of her Majesty the Queen, and for which
he was dismissed the service. We are happy to be able
to record the pleasing fact—pleasing alike as showing
that the momentary indiscretion of the offender has not
been visited too harshly, and pleasing as exhibiting a
most gracious and forgiving temper on the part of her
Majesty even when personally insulted—we are happy,
we say, to record the fact of Colonel Dundas's restoration
to active service, and we trust he will prove that the
letsity shown him has not been misplaced.—Hampshire
paper.

TIIE CAMERONIANS.—The arms, accoutrements,
&c., of this distinguished corps were inspected on Wed-
nesday by Major-General Sir Neil Douglas, K.C.8.,
commander of the fore, sin Scotland. It was intended
to have paraded the regfirent in Bruntsfield Links for
this purpose, but in consequence of the boisterous state
of the weather in the morning, the inspection took place
within the Castle. The weather having cleared betwixt
twehe and one o'clock, numerous parties proceeded to
the Links, but were disappointed.—Scotsmun.
A new corvette has been ordered to be built at
Chatham, upon the plan of the Earl of Dundonald, to
be called the Challenger. Length 134 feet, breadth 37
feet 6 inches, depth 17 feet 6 inches, tonnage 810 tons.
Below the water line she is to resemble the Janus war
steamer (also built upon the plan of Lord Dundonald),
that is, both ends perpendicular and alike. This is to
try the effect upon a sailing vessel, as well as upon
steam. The Janus has not yet been tried.—United
Service Gazette.

Lieut. Munro, who shot Colonel Fawcett in a duel,
refused to give himself vp to justice, and was, as our
readers remember, cashiered in consequence, is at pre-
sent residing in Hamburgh, with his wife and family.

VISIT OF THE KING OF THE
FRENCH TO HER MAJESTY.
The 7th or 9th of September were the periods whiels
had been arranged a fortnight ago for the arrival.
of his Majesty the King of the French in thts,
country, upon a visit to the Queen. The visit 0,
his Majesty will now take place a week later thou,
the time originally fixed upon, in consequence of
the accouchement of our beloved Sovereign not Navin
occurred so early as had been confidently anticipate&
at the period of the original arrangement being made..
The French Monarch, who will embark, it is e).:-
petted, at Dieppe, in a French man-of-war, and
all
be accompanied by another 74-gun ship and a steel
fleet of steamers, will land at Portsmouth, and travel 11
the South Western Railway en route to Windsor Castl*",
to the Farnborough station, where the royal carringe*
will be in waiting to convey his Majesty and suite, t°
Windsor. The same apartments (and also some additioell
state rooms) at the Castle, which were occupied.
by the King of Prussia, at the christening of the Prince
of Wales, and the Emperor of Russia, during the .Aso°
race-week, will be prepared fur the reception of the King
cie the French and his Majesty's numerous suite. They
will be most magnificently furnished and embellished ;(
ndeed, no pains or expense will be spared at the Palace .°
the English Sovereign to receive the King of the Frencla 111
at manner worthy of the Queen of this mighty empire--
worthy, alike, of her Majesty's Royal and Illustriceo
guest.
A review, upon a grand and imposing scale, during tba
King's shot visit at Windsor (which is not expected t
be prolonged beyond a week or ten days), to take place
in the Great Park, has already been spoken of. It is nes,
rumoured that several infantry regiments will be encamp
in the Park, and that not less than from 15 to 20 Cavalry
and infantry regiments, with a park of artillery and fie
batteries, will be present at this intended magnifies? D.
military spectacle. Splendid banquets will take place 11
St. George' Hall and the Weterloo Chamber, to be follow‘"0
by state balls and grand evening parties. Preparations
have already been commenced at the Roman Catholl°
chapel, at Clewer, about a mile from Windsor, for the ss-
commodation of his Majesty and suite. It was at first at"
ranged for pews to be constructed for the King and suite
but it is now, we understand, contemplated to add °
n'ing to the edifice, open to one side of the interior of t
Chapel, and to be appropriated, exclusively, for the
ac
commodation of his Majesty and attendants. This Pl°
will be carried into effect in the event of there being
sufficient time to complete it before the arrival of Lb°
royal visitor to the Queen.
There is very little doubt that the christening of: PI
Infant Prince will take place during his Majesty's 51'1
at Vbrindsor. Indeed, it has been stated that the King °..r.
the Frea:ch will be one of the sponsors (it is suvposed,:,
so, by prow,'. his Majesty being a Roman Catholic)
the last born feince of the House of Brunswick. It
is
not expected that 11 is Majesty will visit the metro"
during his short stay ;:t England, but remain the wbOP
time at the royal residence at Windsor.

THE ABOLITION OF IMFRISONMENT FOR DEBT p

Friday by commission, came into operation on Saturcrio,
when a number of debtors who had been imprisonet,L,
the different metropolitan prisons for debts under fiti

all the other gaols for debt throughout the country, for
the exception of those persons who stand committeo,v,
penalties due to the Crown. At the same time,
sheriffs of London and Middlesex, as well as Of surijo
have given directions to the keepers of the resPee,,est
gaols in that county not to take in any With some
