—" The QUEBN'S jourileY Worn Frankfort to Antwerp
prestiiteii nothing worthy of remark. At Frankfort her
MAJESTY dined with the King of BAVARIA, whom chance
had brought to that city, aftei a visit to the Grand Duke
of HESSE DAttMSTADT, at A.schaffenbottit. br; MET:
TErtrticit also happened to be (no doubt likewise by
hakte) at the royal table, and by the side of the Earl of
ABERDEEN. '.lt was observed,' says a Frankfort letter,
" that those two statesmen had an anttliatetl conversation
which was protratited long after dinner.' A charming
espiiglerie is told of the QUEEN, who, observing the
vivacity with which the Austrian Arch-Chancellor spoke,
rose, and went and presented him, with her own royal
band, the clap of coffee intended for him."
The National makes the following remarks on the
amusements prepared at Pampeluna for the French
Princes :

" The inhotent Queen Isabella and her august mother,
Madame Munoz, are not contented with witnessing the shoot-
ing of deer, they must have a spectacle of higher gold, and the
Presse initiates us precisely in a former number into the na-
ture of their ingenious and delicate amusement, which con-
sists in seeing horses ripped up, and men killed by bulls,
Which are eventually slaughtered, after being stabbed,
pierced, and burnt in every way. We consider these scenes
as quite equal to the hunting in the German fashion. In
both cases the spectacle is odious and ignoble. At Pampe-
luna, however, it is men, and in Germany deer that suffer.
The difference is not in favour of the protegee of the Presse,
and if blood must be shed, we prefer that of the deer of
Gotha. What makes these royal enjoyments most strik-
ing is there having been got up to fête the Duke and Duchess
de Nemoure, who are much diverted by them. The
Physician of the Malade Imaginaire offered his mistress the
pastime of an autopsy ; the innocent Isabella amuses her
visitors by a cruel slaughter of men and animals. In our
amphitheatres they operate on dead subjects—in Spain on
living ones ; it is much more amusing. England is moved
at seeing her young Queen acquire a taste for blood in a
deer-hunt. In Spain and in France—at least amongst the
friends of the daughter and the widow of Ferdinand VII.—
nothing wrong is seen a bull fight ; nay more, the scene
is related in a picturesque style, as if it were a simple thing.
It is then that the massacres of Barcelona, the shootings at
Madrid have so far strung the nerves of Spanish royalty
that there is no longer anything to fear for them in witness-
ing bullfights? In this case, however, it would, in our
opinion, have been well to have shown more consideration,
If not for the feelings, at least for the eyes of the Regent
promised to the pacific destinies of our country."
The Paris Bourse on Tuesday was crowded to excess
by speculators in railway lines. Before the adjudication
of the Northern line, the prices were all higher than on
Monday, and ROTHSCHILD'S were once done as high as
920 f. This price was, however, soon reduced to about
900 f., at which it remained to the close. After the ad-
judication, the price of the ROTHSCHILD rose to 910 f. ;
after some transactions at that price, fell to the old quo-
tation 900 f., at which they closed. All the other nor-

them promises closed about sf. higher than yesterday's
prices. Fampoux to Hazebruck rose to 530 f., at which
they closed. The general effect of the adjudication was

less than might have been expected.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(From the Second Edition of the Times.)
The Journal des Debats of yesterday publishes the fol-
lowing telegraphic dispatch, dated Madrid, midnight, on the
sth instant :

" An attempt at insurrection was made this evening at
ten o'clock, but was promptly repressed by the troops. Only
one officer was killed.'

The Duke and Duchess de Nemours and the Duke
d'Aumale returned to Bayonne from Pampeluna on the Bth
instant.

The French fleet, consisting of seven ships of the line, and
having on board 5,000 marines, sailed from Toulon on the
6th, it was believed for the coast of Spain.
The Frankfort Journal mentions that the King of Wirtem-
burg had been twice fired at at Meran, in Tyrol, but fortu-
nately without being injured.
The Carlsruhe Gazette publishes the same report, and adds
that the Jesuits were no strangers to the attempt.
MADRID, SErr. s.—There was only one operation in the
Three per Cents., which was done at 313,i, at 60 days. The
Panica at 7%, at 45 days, with % premium.

the Royal Norwegian Finance Department at Christiania,
for the valuable charts of, and sailing directions for, the
north coast of Norway, presented by order of that Depart-
ment,—was proposed and carried unanimously. The Hono-
rary Silver Medal of Lloyd's to Lieut. William Gould, R.N.,
and votes of money to seamen instrumental in saving the
crews of vessels wrecked on the coast, were proposed and
carried at this meeting.

PRINCE CHARLES STEVVART..*A controversy has
arisen regarding the orthography of the name Stewart, it
being maintained by many that it should be spelt Stuart. Therri
is nothing more subject to the caprice of individuals than the
manner in which they spell their proper names ; the origin of
appellations being entirely lost sight of. This is seen very Oh-
viously in the word before us. Robert 11., Grett Steward of
Scotland, gave, from his office, the name by which the Scottish
royal family were afterwards distinguished, and the substitution
of t for d arose merely from its being more suitable to Scottish
pronounciation. It is is said that it was Queen Mary who first
altered the mode of spelling, and having been brought up in
France it was very probable that she did so; indeed, there
was no other way in which French writers could spell it.
There is an announcement of a reprint, with ample notes, by
William Aleikleharn, Esq., LL. S., of all the passages in the
Glasgow Co .rant of 1745 relating to Prince Charles, which
will be exceedingly ienrious, as that gentleman's copy is the
reference to
Charles sp correct in
Only one known to be extant. We perceive that he lias the
name printed " S'Aewart," in which he is ';:<lrrectly
its origin. The with whom Prince
and the P.nt his youth, could not otherwise spell this word,
Tdighlanders having also no w in their alphabet, were
compeo,led to use the same orthography. It is, therefore, affee-
lw;:i al i !pont arel.logefroyr
ta.,w,n to retain a mode of spelling which nations were forced
th adopt from the defect of their alphabet.

at 33Rd to 134 d per lb.-:--.There was

There has been lately rather an improved speculative de.
mand for a few-of the choicest (if choice there be) of the
United States' Shares and Stock. A move in the right di-
rection has been made by the state of Pennsylvania, and our
hope is that she may continue to rise from the lowly posi-
tion her adhesion to repudiative principles once placed
her in. We are informed that Pennsylvania Stock is
worth now a much higher value than it realised a few months
back. Still there is not a great deal of business doing here.
There was not any Colonial arrivals of interest announced
this morning. The pool is much crowded with foreign as
well as colonial shipping, and a vast amount of business is
at the present moment doing. It is very satisfac-
tory to be enabled to represent the woollen and
the cotton manufactures as being most active.
The abolition of the duty upon theimportation of foreign wool
has, contrary to all the anticipations of the croakers against
Sir R. Peersetariff, proved most satisfactory to all branches
of the woollen trade. If such beneficial results have followed
the opening of the Wool trade, (and there is no doubt that
very considerable advantage has resulted from the abolition
of this duty), what excuse can there be why the Premier
should not try the effect of a free importation of foreign
wheat ?

Accounts from Belgium state that there was an import of
potatoes from Scotland owing to the high price of the article
here. From:Sweden and Moscow we are advised that their
potatoes looked well, though wheat at the latter
place was deficient in yield. The Continental
states are doing their best to forward their
crops, a proof of the attention which they would
withdraw from manufacturing pursuits, provided they had
sufficient ennouragement to send their produce here. A
highly influential agricultural association exists in Prussia,
the subscriptions to which amount to 21,000 francs per
annum, each member paying 6 francs, and receiving the so-
ciety's reports in return. The State is said to afford aid also
to the association.

There is not a single price for Consols for the Account this
morning. For Money 981,6 % are the only rates at which
business has been done.. The premium on Exchequer-bills is
steady at 465. East India Stock. is dull at 269 for Money,
and at 269% for the Account.
Mexican Bonds in the Foreign Stock Exchange have fallen
to-day to 33, and the Deferred to 17. Columbian are a shade
lower also. Portuguese are steady ; the Four per Cent. Dutch
have rallied to 99%; and Spanish Conaola are still quoted
at 2.7%,

The holders of Shares here in the several Companies which
are now represented by Messrs. Roth; child ofParis, to whom the
concession of the Great Northern of France Railway has been
made, are naturally desirous to have a fair principle established
in the division of shares among them ; but we fear that a
sort of favouritism is likely to be too general. From this
remark we must not embrace either the principals of the
Rothschilds, the Lafittes, the Hottingeurs, or the Rosamel
Companies. The subject is one, however, to which a
considerable degree of interest is attached here and in Paris.
The Laffitte's Shares are at 2% 34 premium to-day, the
Rosamel's at I%jand 1%, and the Pepin to Halleur at %
premium. The principal changes in the British railways this
morning- have been as follows, first premising that the demand
is fair for established and the new and well-selected fresh
lines. The London and Birmii?gham Shares have been
quoted. at 221--the present price nominally. The Bir-
mingham and Gloucester have realised as much,
in the course of the morning, as 132. The
Direct Manchester are nominal, at 4%. The Great
Southern of Ireland, 263/i ; the Dublin and Galway, VA ;
the Edinbugh and Glasgow, nominal at 89 ; the Great
Western ditto, at 168 ; the Half Shares, at 94 ; the Limerick
and Waterford firm, but nominal; the London and Croydon at
251/ •, the Manchester and Birmingham were heavy at 72;
the Midland also at 170; the Trent Valley and Holyhead
Junction are on the rise ; and the York and North Midlands
have receded a point or two. In the other Shares the altera-
tions have been but slight.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUIC.)
IN RE PEIRELLER.
The Court was occupied the whole of the morning in hear-
ing Mr. Cooke in opposition to this bankrupt, who came up for
examination on adjournment from the 15th of August.
The bankrupt, who was described as a coal merchant, of
Tysoe-street, Wilmington-square, is well known in the sporting
circles.

The examination to-day was principally directed to the dis-
posal of several valuable guns to Messrs. Brown, Boydell,
Richardson, Dutt, and Co. One gun alone was valued at 80
guineas.

The bankrupt said some of his books had been destroyed by
his children. He swore that the guns had been given in satis.
faction of bond fide debts. He had not parted with any dogs.
The COMMISSIONER said tkat, on the whole, he considered
an adjournment advisable, to afford time for further inquiry,
and he considered the case had better stand over till he could
hear it himself. In the interim, the bankrupt must content him-
self with an order for subsistence-money from this time, but iu
prospective to be paid, if on his next examination all the
doubtful points were cleared up.
The case was not over till two o'clock.:

GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)
A person, who was stated to be most respectably connected,
but who was most miserably dressed, and who pve her name
as Sarah Pennell, was brought before Alderman Kelly, charged
with breaking two squares of glass, value 51.
Jane Niel, of the Red Cross public-house, said that about
eight o'clock that morning the prisoner came into the house and
threatened to break all the windows en Mr. White's premises.
Orders had been given for some time past not to serve her
with liquor. She left the house, and presently afterwards wit-
ness heard a great smash, and on going outside observed a crowd
about the prisoner, who bad a stone in her band. A police-
man shortly came up and she was given into custody. There
were two squares of plate-glass broken, which would cost from
41. to 51, to replace. She was not intoxicated, and used most
violent language.
Police-constable 163 said that she was well known.

Alderman KELLY said she must pay the 51., which not
being forthcoming, she was committed to prison for two
months, and on her release to find sureties for her good beha-
viour for the next six months.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
William James, a cabman, was charged with being drunk
and disorderly, and with assaulting a young woman named
Emma Haywood, who was also placed at the bar charged with
being drunk and disorderly.
Policeman F 65 found the prisoners, at half-past eleven
o'clock last 'night, at the door of the public-house, the Coach
and Horses, in Bow-street, from which they were turned out,
where James was beating the other prisoner violently. Hay-
wood called upon him to take the man in charge, which he did.
Inspector Logan, of the F division, said that the policeman
brought the prisoner James to the station a little before twelve
o'clock. He received the charge, but the girl Haywood using
very foul language, insisting on his liberation, he ( witness)
thought it necessary to lock her up also.
The prisoner Haywood denied having been drunk. She had
been beaten severely by the other prisoner, and she went into
hysterics at the station. She denied using any bad language.
Mr. JAannta said that he must sentence both prisoners to
seven days' imprisonment.
The prisoner Haywood asked whether there was any fine, as
she bad, an infant at home to which no one would attend during
ber imprisonment.
Mr. JARDINE said he would not fine the prisoner. He would
send to the house she lived •"at to ascertain whether she had a
child there, and if so, it should be taken care of during her
imprisonment.

DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY
COMPANY.—(THIS DAY.)
A meeting of the shareholders in this railway was
held this day at the London Tavern, for the purpose of
submitting the plan of their proceedings in the ensuing
Parliament.
The advertisement having been read,
Mr. CAPPER was called to the chair, and in a few re-
marks stated that their engineer, Sir John Rennie, had
resigned, and Mr. John Miller was elected in his stead.
He was happy to say, that although their expenses in
the late contest in Parliament had been very heavy, they
had still money and money's worth left, and the prices
of shares in the market at that time were higher than
when originally issued. He should call upon the Secre-
tary at once to read the Directors' and the Engineer's
report.
The Secretary then read the reports alluded to,
After stating the course pursued during the last session
before the Committee of the House of Commons, and
their defeat by the London and York, the report thus
proceeded:—
" Holding it to he now settled, beyond doubt, that a new
line from London to York would be sanctioned, irrespective
of existing routes, and being convinced that the scheme of
the London and York does not satisfy the main conditions
which ought to attach to such a line, as a communication
of great national importance, your Directors instructed Mr.
John Miller, the distinguished engineer of the North British
Railway (to whom they have now committed the entire
charge of the engineering department) to examine the
country between London and York, and to report to them
his opinion, with a view to future proceedings.
" In his opinion the Directors most heartily concur, and
they propose acting upon it, by carrying out the system of
railway therein recommended.
" To the North British, the Great North of England, and
the other lines which form the eastern route to Scotland, the
formation of the shortest line from London to York is of vital
importance, and the Directors think themselves justified in
anticipating that the scheme recommended by Mr. Miller
will receive the cordial support and co-operation of these
Companies, as well as of the population generally of the
north-eastern portion of Great Britain.
"In Mr. Miller's hands the Directors are confident that
they will be enabled to submit to Parliament a main line
which shall be at least ten miles shorter than that proposed
by the London and York, and which, combined with the
necessary branches, will sine a greater amount of local ac-
commodation.
"The Directors are enabled to state that did gross amount
of expenses incurred will be about thirty shillings pdt share,
and, consequently, to such Shareholders as may desire to
withdraw from the further prosecution of the undertaking,
there will remain the sum of, say from 17s. to 1/. per share
on their original deposits of 21.105. per share to be eettitned.
",Having maturely considered all the circumstances of the
case, the Directors have come to the determination that the
original project of an integral line from the metropolis to
York on the direct principle, and under one management,
ought to be resumed and proceeded with in the ensuing ses-
sion of Parliament.
" For this purpose the Directors propose that the required
capital of 4,000,0001. shall be divided into 160,000 shares of
