DEATH OF LADY HEYTESBURY,

DUBLIN, OCT. 6.—About six o'clock this evening
the bell of St. Audeon's church intimated to the citi-
zens the melancholy fact, which had been for some
days apprehended, of the death of Lady Heyteshury.
A very general and painful degree of interest was
manifested amongst all classes, when it became known
that her illness had assumed a dangerous charactt,r.
This evening, at twenty minutes before four o'clock,
her Excellency breathed her last at the Vice-regal
Lodge, in the Phoenix Park, in the presence of his
Excellency Lord Heytesbury, his brother the Hon.
E. H. A'Court, M.P. for Tamworth ; her Excellency's
son, the Hon. W. A'Court Holmes, M.P. for the Isle
of Wight ; the Hon. Miss A'Court, daughter, and
Mrs. Pennett, sister to the late Baroness.
Her Excellency had arrived but a short time in
Ireland when she was attacked by the fatal
illness, gastric fever, under the effects of which she
so long and painfully lingered.
She was assiduously attended during her illness by
Sir Henry H. Marsh, Bart., Dr. J. Graves, the phy-
sician in ordinary to the household, and Dr. George
Hatchell.

The gloom that this deeply lamented event will
cast upon the city, and indeed the country at large,
can scarcely be appreciated. It was arranged that
the Court would have been upheld upon the most
suitable scale of splendour had her Excellency been
spared to carry out their intentions.

PUSETISM AT A. DISCOUNT.—A convocation was
held in the University of Oxford yesterday, for the
election of Vice-Chancellor, when Dr. Symons was
elected by a majority of 699---the numbers being, for
Dr. Symons 882, and against him 183. The Rev.
Gentleman is opposed to the Puseyite doctrines,
and we therefore rejoice in his election.

Her Majesty has commanded new school-rooms to
be built at Cumberland Lodge, which are expected to
be completed by Christmas, with separate buildings for
the master and mistress. The site of the building is a
short distance frora Cumberland Lodge.
THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE.—The past week
has been the most brilliant one on record for the open-
ing of this theatre, attributable to the fashionable repute
in which the theatre itself is held, and likewise to the
great impression created by the performance of Made-
moiselle Adile Dumilatre in Albert's grand ballet of
71z. Corsair. This danseuse has made such a sensation
in the character of Gulnare, and has brought such enor-
mous half-prices by her personation of it, that we under-
stand this ballet will be played every remaining night of
her engagement.

THE MARQUIS OF DONEGAL.—We regret to state
that most unfavourable accounts have been received in
regard to the above Nobleman, who, during last week,
rallied a little, but has since suffered a relapse, which
leaves scarcely any hopes of his recovery.
Sir Henry Pottinger is returning to England in
the Great Liverpool steamer, and may be expected at
the Motherbank on Tuesday next.—Hampshire Tele-
graph.

The celebrated Slate Quarry in Carnarvonshire,
announced for public competition by Mr. George
Robins next week, it is determined by the Board of
Directors to sell without the smallest protecting
price. The quality of this slate, it is rumoured, far
exceeds that of any of its rival contemporaries, and
this sale will afford an opportunity to realise a for-
tune at a railway pace. The plentiful state of the
money market surely must tempt all those who would
get rich quickly to attend this sale.
SAVINGS' BANKS.—By the Returns now called for
from trustees and managers of Savings' Banks, and which
are to be laid before Parliament, it is evident there is an
intention for excluding improper persons depositing in
those institutions. The laudable obj,et of these most
useful institutions was for the wcrlting-classes, and per-
sons in plain situations in life. The annual and gross
amounts to be invested, too, it is evident aro to be re-
dUcesd, awl Choy will admit of it.

DEPARTURE

OF TIIE

KING OF THE FRENCH

FROM

EU FOR ENGLAND.

(From th• Times.)

EU (NORMANDY), OCT. 7, 1844,

The embarkation of the King is fixed for this even-
ing, at half. past six. There being a somewhat ad-
verse wind, the flotilla will not, it is believed, reach
Portsmouth in less than ten hours. Even so you
will receive an account of his Majesty landing in
England very soon after the announcement of his
departure from France.
Considerable surprise and some uneasiness were
occasioned here this morning by the non-arrival of
M. Guizot. At five o'clock yesterday afternoon, a
French Cabinet courier arrived here from Lon-
don, with dispatches for M. Guizot from Count
St. Aulaire, having performed the journey in little
more than twenty hours. This morning a courier
from Paris reached the Chateau, also, with dispatches
for him ; the latter fact proving that the Minister had
left that city for Eu. It was not, however, until a
quarter to ten o'clock this morning that M. Guizot
arrived. On inquiry it appeared that about three
leagues and a half this side of Rouen, one of the
wheels of his carriage got out of order, ceasing to
turn on the axle ; all attempts to move it were vain.
Messengers were accordingly sent in search of work-
men to set it right, or to find another vehicle ; but it
was not until the Minister had been delayed more
than five hours that a carriage could be procured.
He appears, notwithstanding this vexatious occur-
rence, in excellent health.

All is ready for the voyage. The presents for her
Majesty and the Royal Family, including several
packages of lace, and a superb carabine, or musket
(by Caron), for his Royal Highness the Prince of
\Vales, are all shipped. The French Post-office
steamer, La Poste, one of those which carry the
mails from Calais to Dover, is in the basin at Tre-
port, to convey the King and suite from thence to
the Gomer steam-frigate, which has been at anchor
in the offing for some days. The Pluton and another
steamer, the name of which I shall mention later,
are to escort or accompany the Gomer; but, as in
the case of her Majesty Queen Victoria's arrival at
Ostend, last year, it is expected that the royal
steamer will, from its superior power, reack Ports-
mouth first and alone.

I stated in my letter of last night, that yesterday
the King entered upon his 72d year. There was
nothing observable, however, at the Chateau, to mark
the occasion, for the reasons I mentioned. Their
Majesties took an airing in the forest before dinner,
and had their usual soiree at the Palace, in the
evening, at which the principal persons of the coun-
try were present. Some bustle is certainly noticed
here and at Treport to-day; but compared with the
excitement that prevailed during the visit of Queen
Victoria last year, and particularly on the day of
her Majesty's embarkation, all is quietude.

SIX O'CLOCK P.M.

At ten minutes after six precisely the King, Queen,
Madame Adelaide, and the Due de Montpensier en-
terred their carriage to proceed to Treport amid the
tears of the persons in attendance. The Queen was
of course deeply affected, this being her first separa-
tion from the king since her marriage. In another
carriage followed the grand personages who are to
accompany his Majesty, and in two others the per-
sons of the suite of his Majesty. •

At half past six o'olock his Majesty rnbarked.

Alt RIVAL

OF THE
KING OF THE FRENCH

AT PORTSMOUTH.

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.
So soon as daylight broke this morning a steamer
with French colours hoisted, was seen at anchor
at Spithead, and three others were reported a long
distance off under steam. The steamer at anchor
weighed, and proceeded to join those in the offing.
At six A.m. the Admiralty flag was hoiste
on board the Victory, which was sa.lut•d
immediately by all the ships in commission
at Spithead and St. Helen's. A salute of
19 guns was also fired in honour of the arrival of
the French Ambassador, the Count St. Aulaire. As

the haze cleared off the ships at Spithead appeared
dressed out in their gayest flags, and in the most
conspicuous position were placed the French flags.
The French squadron were now seen approaching
St. Helen's, going at a slow rate, viz., the Gomer,
with the French standard at the main, an English
ensign at the fore, and a French ensign at the mizen.
The Caiman, the Fulton, and the Elan steamers, were
attended by the beautiful yacht brig the Keine
Amelie, each dressed out similar to the Gomer,
with the exception of the French . standard.
As the French squadron approached the five
brigs stationed at St. Helen's, these vessels all
hoisted French ensigns at the main, manned

their yards, and saluted respectively as the
Comer passed; these salutes were returned by the
Caiman, and Fulton, and Elan, and the Reine Amelie•
Lord Yarborough's yacht, the Kestral, and several
others of the Royal Yacht Club vessels, also saluted,
and were gaily decorated with colours. The flag of
Admiral Sir Charles Rowley was shifted into the
Queen; and the French royal standard appeared
flying at the main-top-gallant-mast head of the
St. Vincent; both these three decker and the three
brigs at anchor fired salutes as his Majesty passel
through Spithead ; the French steamers only going
at a quarter speed, allowed the numerous yachts
and French brig yacht to keep company. They en-
tered the harbour in the same line of sailing, the
Goiner taking the lead. When at the mouth of the
harbour the King's bastion fired a royal salute from
the 24-pounders ; and the platform battery also fired
a salute, which the Fulton and Reine Amelie again
returned. On shore the town 'was all commo-

tion. At an early hour, at seven, the Grena-
dier companies of the 59th and 76th Regiments,
accompanied by the band of 'the , former regi-
ment, and commanded. by Major Hovenden,
appeared on the parade, and. were inspected
by the Lieutenant-Governor, Sir Henry Parker;
they then proceeded to Gosport, where they were
joined by a company of the 47th Regiment, compo-
sing a guard of honour of nearly three hundred men.
The marine and a portion of other troops likewise
went over to Gosport, to do duty at the Railway and
Victualling-yard. At twenty-minutes past nine
the French steamer came into harbour, and on enter-
ing Louis Philippe was plainly distinguishable from
the numerous officers in splendid uniform by whom
he was attended at the after-part of the quarter-
deck of the Gomer. Thousands of persons crowded
the King's bastion, the lines facing the sea, the plat-
form battery, and Victoria pier, to witness his ap-
proach ; and the long, loud, and yocifetous cheering;
with which the people greeted the French King was
courteously acknowledged by his Majesty repeatedly
baring his head, and bowing to the assembled
multitude.

The Victory was dressed in colours, and had the
Admiralty flag at the main, and the French flag at
the fore.

The Port-Admiral being unable, from the state of
his health, to go afloat, the duty of waiting on his Ma-
jesty therefore devolved on Admiral 11. Parker, C. B.
Immediately after the Gomer came to anchor, a
troop of artill.,ry soldiers were drawn up on the
quarter-deck. Soon after Admiral La Susse came
on deck in full uniform ; and immediately after
Admiral Mackau, Baron Athalin, General de
Rumigny, with various officers, aides-de-camps, and
special personages, all in splendid costumes. In
a little while his Majesty came on deck, pre-
ceded by the Duc de Montpensier, and followed by
M. Guizot, when the thunder of the Victory an-
nounced the arrival of Prince Albert. At this mo-
ment the yards were manned, and the interest intcose.
As soon as the Prince stepped on board, the King

caught him in his arms, and kissed and embraced
him with the utmost warmth of affection. The
Duke of Wellington immediately followed the
Prince. The Duke bowed repeatedly, but the
King took his hands cordially, and seemed to
use no ceremony. After a very few minutes,
the Prince pointed the way for the King, but
his Majesty playfully pushed the Prince before him,
and they descended the ladder amidst the heartiest
expressions of enthusiasm from all sides. The Duke
of Wellington followed, receiving his accustomed
share of popular respect. At the moment of
the Prince's appearance the marine hand of the
Gomer played " God save the Queen," followed by
the famous French national air, " La Parisienne.."
The royal boat was escorted by a fleet of boats
filled with curious persons. At sea the King's
fleet was hailed by several yachts, with steamers.
The Queen and the St. Vincent, anchored out,
showed all their colours. As soon as the steamer
came to anchor, the Lords of the Admiralty went
on board to pay their respects to his Majesty, who
received them most graciously. Shortly afterwards
the Mayor and Corporation of Portsmouth came on
board, and being ushered into the royal presence,
presented his Majesty with an address, welcoming
him to this country. The address having been read
by the Recorder, his Majesty replied in a speech in
which he expressed his satisfaction at once more visit-
ing the hospitable shores of England, and his hope
that this interchange of visits between the Sovereigns
of the two countries would perpetuate the friendly
relations now happily existing between both.
His Majesty then shook hands with the corporation,
who retired much pleased and gratified with their
courteous reception.

The royal party then debarked, and entering the
royal carriages awaiting them on the beach, pro-
ceeded rapidly, amidst the cheers of the spectators, to
the railway station, whence they were conveyed by a
special train to Farnborough, where they arrived at a
quarter to one o'clock.

FURTHER PARTICUrARS.
FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.)

The new royal carriage left Vauxhall with the
Chairman and Directors of the South-
'Western Railway soon after six o'clock yesterday
morning, and arrived at Farnborough about
eight. At half-past eight his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, attended by Colonel l3ouverie, as Equerry,
arrived at the Farnborough station, and at once
proceeded on his route for Gosport. On arriving
at Basingstoke it was ascertained that his Grace
the Duke of 'Wellington had just arrived from
Strathfieldsaye, on which Prince Albert in-
vited his Grace into the royal carriage,
which then proceeded without further stoppage
to Gosport, where it arrived a few minutes
after ten o'clock. Prince Albert was here
informed that the King of the French had arrived off
Spithead so early as seven o'clock, and that his
Majesty had landed at the Clarence Victualling-
yard, accompanied by the Duke de Montpensier and
his suite, soon after nine.

His Royal Highness, accompanied by the Duke of
Wellington, immediately proceeded to meet the illus-
trious guests.

Soon after eleven, his Majesty the King of the
French, his son, the Duke de Montpensier,
Prince Albert, Mons. Guizot, and a whole host of
eminent and illustrious personages arrived at the
Gosport terminus. The Prince handed the King
into the royal carriage, and was followed
by the Duke of Montpensier, and the various
officers and others of the suite having entered
the other carriages, the trains proceeded
at a rapid rate to the Farnborough•station, where it

arrived soon after one o'clock. Here several of the
royal carriages and four were in attendance. The
King of the French having alighted from the
train, turned to the Directors, and the
many people about the station, and acknowledged
his reception—a truly English one throughout—by
repeatedly bowing in a most gracious and dignified
manner. The Royal party having entered the several
carriages the cortege proceeded, amidst the loudest
cheering from the populace, on its way to
Windsor, where the illustrious guests arrived a little
before three o'clock in the afternoon.

visit his estates of Cleish and Ochiltree, where great re-
joicings would have taken place but, for the sail event.
LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY —On Thurs-
day last the foundation stone of the monster bridge,
which will consist of seven arches of sixty feet span each
and upwards, of one hundred and four feet high, and
intended to cross the river Lowther, at a beautifully ro-
mantic spot, called Yew's Crame), near Brougham Hall
and the village of Clifton, was laid in the presence of
several of the Directors, Mr. Stephenson, undertakers,
and workmen, together with a large concourse of re-
spectable people from Penrith and the surrounding dis-
ti icts, who seemed anxious to be spectators of the inte-
resting event. The massive stone having been lowered
to its destination, and Mr. Lamer, the engineer of the
line, having adjusted it with a mallet, the company gave
three hearty cheers, which aroused the echoes in Lowther
woods surrounding. Whilst Mr. L. stood on the stone,
the Directors and contractors partook of brandy and
wine, each wishing success to the undertaking, and the
workmen did the seme, who were regaled with two or
three barrels of ale.
There is at present current, in the higher circles, a
rumour, the realisation of which would give general satis-
faction. It is said that her Majesty is about to raise the
Earl Delawarr to the first rank in the Peerage, by re-
viving-in his person the extinct Dukedom of Dorset—the
Countess being, with the exception of the Countess Am-
herst, the only surviving representative of JOhn Frederick
third duke, as sister (IGeorge, fourth duke, whose me-
lancholy death, by a fall from his horse, occurred on the
14th of February.—Post.
The Chester and Holyhead Railway have finally
negotiated their bargain with Government for the mail
service on the line. The Company are to convey two
up and two down mails daily, for five years, for a pay-
ment of 30,0001. per annum ; and for a further term of
seven years at 30,0001. per annum as a maximum, but
which maximum shall be subject to reduction to any
sum not less than ls. 2 1-16 d. per single mile (equal to
about 7,2701. per annum). fluctuating between these two
amounts according to the sum required to allow a return
of 5 per cent. on the capital subscribed. But in no case,
whatever the return to the Company may be, is the pay-
ment by her Majesty's Government, during the said
seven years, to exceed 30,0001. per annum, nor be less
than the sum of is. 2 1-16 d. per single mile.
GIGANTIC SCHEME.—We have heard that the prac-
ticability of connecting the opposite shores of the Mer—
sey by a stupendous chain bridge is under consideration.
It is said that, by the formation of a viaduct, on the
principle of an inclined plane, on arches, commencing at
the top of James-street, to the margin of the river, a
sufficient elevation may be obtained. A similar erection
on the Woodside bank of the river would, of course, be
requisite. Our active and enterprising Cheshire neigh-
bours would, no doubt, readily assist in promoting a pro-
ject so magnificent. Such a work would throw all other
suspension bridges into the shade, and be a world's
wonder. Of its practicability no doubt, we believe, is en-
tertained, and it will be allowed that the enterpri: e is
worthy the combined energies of Liverpool and Birken
head.—Liverpool Albion.
WESTMINSTER IMFROVEMENTS.—RIGBY WASON'S
LINE.—Some of the inhabitants of Westminster having
seen a plan for the proposed improvements, invited their
neighbours to meet them on Tuesday last to consider the
same. They had been unable to obtain a copy of the plan,
but from what they had seen of it. reported that it was very
nearly the same as that formerly projected and known
as " Rigby Wason's Line," only rendered still more ob-
jectionable than that very objectionable line was. The
following are some of the principal defective points which
it was agreed to lay before the Commissioners of Woods
and Forests and the public:-Ist. By "Rigby Wason's
altered line," Westminster Abbey, which ought to be
thrown open to public view, is left equally .obscure as
now. 2d. Instead of a direct approach to Pimlico from
Westminster Abbey, it is a curved street from West-
minster Abbey to Vauxhall-bridge-road. 3d. It does not
improve the approaches to the Palace, but diverges fur-
ther and further fn-m it every yard it proceeds. 4th. It
leaves the sewerrge of Westminst, r unimproved. arid
dues not touch the bad lanes, courts, and alleys, branch-
ing out of York-street, in the neighbourhood of the
Palace, which are a continual source of malaria and con-
sequent fever. There were other strong points of objec-
tion to the proposed plan, but the foregoing were consi-
dered such radical defects that it was thought it would
only be needful so call the attention of all parties con-
cerned to them, to insure its rejection, and a suheirip-
don was entered into, and a committee formed, to take
the necessary steps to effect this.
MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.—Last week two persons,
walking through. the pleasure-grounds of Methven Castle,
on the romantic banks of the Almond, came to a spot
opposite Cromwell-park, where the banks rise precipi-
tous to considerably above 100 feet. The pers.,n who
was guiding them pointed out a very steep place, down
which some years ago a party of poachers made their
escape from the keepers by plunging down the precipice.
After viewing the place very attentively, one of the stran-
gers exclaimed, " Well, I would rather have been taken
than run the risk of such a fearful leap." lie had no
sooner spoken, than the batik on which he was standing,
being loosened by the late rains, gave way, and he was
precipitated along with it into the river. His. friend,
along with the guide, ran to another part of the hank,
dsseended to the river, and hurried to the spot, expect-
ing to find only a mangled corpse, but to their surprise
found him just extricated from the mass of earth which
had accompanied him in his fall, and only slightly
bruised, notwithstanding his rapid and perilous descent.

DISCOVERY OP Tlig BODY OP THE LATE Ma.
Matertst, VB SLIGo.—The ie,d;
gen-
tleman, whose death we noticed iof this lamented n
,*.!.ie public journals
about two months since, was washed asin;re on Sunday
last at Mullaghderg, five miles from Dungloe', in the
county Donegal, and about forty by sea tram the place
where he lost his life. An inquiry was instituted by
Mr. Foster and Mr. Russell, magistrates, respecting the
finding ef the corpse, and from the address with which
Mr. Foster conducted the investigation, he discovered
that the individual by whom it was first drawn out of the
water had secretly taken possession of the unfortunate
gentleman's watch, which he then gave up. The body
was a good deal mutilated. The eyes were out, and the
ears eaten while in the water. The remains were put in
a shell, and after prayers had been read over them, they
were lightly covered with earth in the church-yard at
Dungloe ; but it was expected they would be disinterred
and conveyed to Sligo for burial, and for the purpose of
having a Coroner's inquest held upon them. We un-
derstand that a suspicion exists of Mr. Martin's having
been murdered, and that two men are under arrest, who
are charged with the murder.—Londonderry Sentinel.
Tun FIEND or Till Tazz.—Tsang-hoyuen, while
at Kwantung, saw a man with a light wooden collar
round his neok. His curiosity being excited, he ques-
tioned the man as to his reasons for wearing the collar.
On his repeated solicitations the man related the follow.
ing extraordinary circumstances :—" Some years ago
my brother and I set out on horseback in search of ad-
ventures. At the foot of a high mountain, a little man
with a white beard, not more than three cubits high,
and with a turban on his head, came out and
stood before us, bowing his head to the ground. My
brother asked him who he was, and what he wanted ;
but he replied, "Nothing." He now began to breathe
on the horses, which started back with terror, and kept
snorting and prancing, but would not move from the
place. My brother, enraged at this, bent bis bow and'
shot an arrow at the old man, who immediately fled,
pursued by my brother, who not returning for some
time, I went W search for him ; I soon discovered
his lifeless body lying under a tree, his neck grown to
a gigantic size. Horrified at this dreadful sight, I turned
away from the place, but was stopped by the old man,
who came out of the tree, and began to breathe on me.
My neck immediately began to fall to pieces, and I was
obliged to clasp it with my hands till I arrived home,
when I had this collar with iron bands made, w I
never can remove lest my neck fall to pieces." I havw
since discovered that this old man was the fiend of the
tree, whose breath is deadly poison. —From Captain

Accounts from Frankfurt of the 18th ult. state that
the treaty between Belgium and the Zollverein had ex-
cited considerable attention at Hamburgh, which tows
had sent delegates to open preliminary negotiations for
a union with the Zollverein. Among other advan-
tages offered are said to be the free navigation of the
Elbe, and permission to the ships carrying the flag of
the United German States to have the same privileges
in loading or unloading as at Antwerp, so as to promote
the transatlantic and general maritime commerce
of the Zollverein. We cannot attach much credit to
these statements, as Hamburgh could not expect the
same advantages now Belgium has effected a treaty.
although the importance of the union of a great port
like Hamburgh with states which, comparatively to their
great extent have not a very long sea-board, is not to be
denied. The more enthusiastic Germans!, look for the
ultimate establishment of a united mercantile marine,
and, of necessity, a protective or naval force must be
organised. and could be kept up in a proportion which
would exceed that of France, and stand next only to
that of England.
There are no late arrivals to-day from any quarter
except by the usual Continental mails.
The works at the Royal Exchange are 14ing carried on
with considerable activity, and there is a• hope that the
day of the opening will, as far as possible, be observed as
a regular holiday—not a mere apology for one—since it
is some time that any public celebration afforded a treat
to the plodding officials of city shops and counting-
houses. The Mincing-lane markets, it is presumed, as
a matter of course, since holidays can be taken for Derby
and St. Leger days, will be closed on the occasion, the
brokers in that quarter, as at the Stock Exchange, being •
no grudgers of a little wholesome relaxation.

The English Stocks have to-day been rather fiat again.
and there is very little doing. Consols for immediate
Transfer have been 10011, and for Time 1001, Naha
few buyers. Exchequer Bills have bee,n 755. to 775.,
and India Bonds, 965. prem. The Commissioners have ob-
tained their stock at 1001. Bank Stock for Account
is 209 to 2091. The Three per Cants.. of 1726 have
been quoted 1001.
The speculative Bear operations for the close of the
month, in Spanish stock, have caused prices to rule
-heavy. The Five per Cents. are 231, 'and the Three
per Cents. 34/. Mexican Bonds are 341. Colombian
realise 141 Portuguese Converted obtain 50 to 1;
Russian are 1181 to f. Dutch Two-and-It-Half per.
Cents. brine. 621.
The Railway Shares are inactive, but generally they
support the previous value.
