COURT CIRCULAR.

Their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Cambridge
and the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh
Strelitz have arrived at Scone Palace, Perth, the resi-
dence of the Earl of Mansfield.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer returned to his
residence, Beech worth House, Surrey, from town, on
Monday afternoon.

WINDSOR-T UESD I Y.

Intelligence was received at the Castle this morn-
ing, from Blair Athol, announcing that her Majesty
and his Royal Highness Prince Albert may be ex-
pected to arrive at Windsor from the North on
Thursday, the 3d proximo, or in the morning of the
following day.
This being the last day for the State apartments to
be open to the public until after the departure of the
King of the French (who is expected to arrive on
Monday se'nnight), nearly 800 persons visited the
rooms previously to their closing at six o'clock this
evening. At an early hour to-morrow morning 20
workmen will be engaged in making the necessary
preparations for the reception of his Majesty the King
of the French, who will occupy a suite of five rooms
on the north side of the Castle.

Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the
Princess Alice, and Prince Alfred, will leave the
Pavilion at Brighton, for the Castle, on Monday or
Tuesday next ; her Majesty, it is stated, having aban-
doned the intention of visiting Brighton in the royal
yacht previously to returning to Windsor.
It is now considered more than probable that the
Court will proceed to the Isle of Wight, there to
sojourn for a brief period, immediately after the de-
parture of the King of the French. A gentleman in
the department of the Lord Chamberlain, proceeded
to Osborne House this morning for the purpose of
making the necessary arrangements at her Majesty's
marine residence in the island, for the reception of
the Court, in the event of the contemplated visit
taking place. Indeed, it is stated that her Majesty
and the Prince Consort will accompany the King of
the French, in the Royal Victoria and Albert yacht,
across the English Channel to within a league of the
French coast. _ _ . _

The stay of his Majesty in England will certainly
not be prolonged beyond seven or eight days.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)
CORN-EXCHANGE -WEDNESDAY
We had a fair average supply of English Wheat, yet
.
the demand for it was fair steady, at full Monday'
quotations. Of Foreign Wheat (free of duty) the show
was good, yet a tolerable business was doing in that
article at late rates. The trade with Barley and Malt
was extremely heavy, and prices were barely supported.
In Oats, Beans, and Peas, we can notice no alteration.
London, England, 1844-09-25

r The London mail to Falmouth was on Wednesday
delayed nearly three hours, in consequence of a
somewhat serious accident which happened between
Oakhampton and Bridestowe. It appears that on
coming down Stourton-hill and turning a corner,
the coach came in contact with a van, when the pole
broke, and the coach itself turned over. We re-
gret to learn, that one outside passenger, Captain
Treweeke, of Gwennap, just returned from Cuba,
broke the small bone of his leg. No other passenger
met with any injury.
We have some reason to believe that it is the in-
tention of the Queen to honour Brighton with a visit
on her Majesty's return from Scotland.
It having been discovered that facilities were af-
forded for the commission of fraud, by permitting cases
of wine, with cases of spirits and cordials to be depo-
sited under bond in the same room or floor at the ware-
houses at the docks and legal quays, orders have been
issued for the practice to be discontinued, and that in
future wines be deposited in a separate floor from that in
which spirits and cordials in cases are warehoused.
An order has also been issued to the effect that high
and low duty spirits, or spirits imported from foreign
countres and British possessions respectively, are to
be kept distinct and separate in the vaults at the docks,
and the several dock companies have received direc-
tions to cause the vaults to be partitioned for the pur-
pose of separation under the locks of the Crown.

SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND

Vutatr J 4.1 ptnton.

" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.

On Saturday evening their Majesties the King and
Queen of the French received the Minister of Sweden,
the Duke de Marmier, and M. Jubelin, Under-Secretary
of State of the Marine.

The Constitutionnel mentions that some of the equi-
pages of Marshal Soult, accompanied by an Aide-de-
Camp, arrived in Paris on Sunday morning, and that
the Marshal would return to assume the Presidency of
the Council during the King's journey to England.
Marshal Bugeaud is expected to arrive in Paris about
the same time, with six Algerian chiefs, who are to
travel through France at the expense of the Government.
Accounts from Toulon of the 18th inst. announce,
that the schooner Etoile had been dispatched on a mis-
sion to Tunis. It was believed that she was the bearer
of an order to Admiral Parseval Deschlnes to return to
Toulon with the naval division under his command.
The Berlin State Gazette informs us that there will be
an exhibition of the products of industry next year at
Vienna, but that it will be confined to the manufactures
of Austria, whereas the Berlin exhibition includes the
products of the whole of Germany. The Emperor of
Austria intends, it is said, to create a special order of
merit for the manufacturers who shall be declared worthy
of it, and the possessor of the decoration will be declared
noble, but his nobility is not to be hereditary.
A letter from Gibraltar of the 11th, states that the
frigate Belle Poule and three steamers sailed on that day
for Mogadore, to take on board the French garrison left
on that island. On the 12th the Spanish Charge d'Af-
faires was to proceed in the Christina frigate to Tan-
-siers, to terminate finally all the differences between
Spain and Morocco.
One of the luggage vans of the Prince de Joinville ar-
rived at the Tuileries on Saturday.
The Hanover journals state that in the night of the
15th instant a frightful conflagration, rendered unre-
strainable by a violent gale from the south-west, de-
stroyed, in the space of six hours, no fewer than 300
buildings in the town of Clausthal. Several persons lost
their lives.
The Count de St. Aulaire has returned to Paris from
his seat of Perigord, and will in a few days take his de-
parture for England, to be ready to receive the King on
his arrival.

The Hospital steamer Cerblre arrived on the 18th
instant at Toulon from Algiers, which port she left on
the 15th. She brought 255 passengers, 90 of whom
were sick soldiers from the hospitals at Algiers. She
has also brought cases containing the tents of the son of
the Emperor of Morocco taken at the battle of Isly.
A Stockholm journal of the 10th instant says it is
generally understood in Sweden that the Emperor of
Morocco has abandoned all claim to tribute from Sweden
and Denmark.

The Emperor of Russia, says the Augsburg Gazette,
has sanctioned the decision of the Diet of Frankfort per-
mitting certain German Princes to take the title of Royal
Highness.

Mr. MALTBY said he had not heard such a state-
ment made by the prisoner, nor had he seen it in any
of the public, journals.

The solicitor said the prisoner, had certainly made
such a statement in open Court, in the hearing of se-
veral of the residents in Burlington-arcade, and he
supposed it was owing to the reports of those parties
that the rumour had gained publicity. Mr. Van
Bever had been greatly prejudiced by the rep'rt,
and it was , but an act of justice to him to show that
the prisoner's story did not contain a single word
of truth.

In the former examination some mention was made
of the interest taken in the proceedings by a Colonel
L')ftus.: On the authority of a highly-respectable
legal firm in Lincoln's Inn-fields, we have to state
that the individual in question -was not Colonel Fer-
rero Loftus.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1844.

We quote the following singular complaint from

have confirmed our impressions, that the Royal

day, but they had not fulfilled their promise, and as
they still persisted in not working, the Mayor with
very great reluctance ordered their committal. There
were also twenty-four summonses against females
employed by Messrs. German and Petty, for refusing
to resume their employment. These took up a long
time, and the Mayor addressed the parties at consi-
derable length with great earnestness and affection,
urging upon them their duty to fulfil the contracts
they had entered into, for they nearly all seemed de-
termined not to do so. The cases were allowed to
stand over till Monday, Messrs. G. and T. promising
to receive those who came back to their employ-
ment. There were two cases selected for hearing
first, separate from the rest—Jane Ratcliffe and
Betsy Clarkson. After ♦ery considerable time had
been taken up in trying to persuade them to return
to their work, but to no purpose, they were com-
mitted for one month to the House of Correction.
Richard Watkinson, a boy in the employ of Messrs.
Horrocks and Miller, was committed for one month :
his case was heard previously on Wednesday.
During the earlier part of the week, the power-
loom weavers in the employ of Mr. Gardner, not
having their wishes granted with regard to an ad-
vance of wages, have been sitting idle at their looms.
Thirteen of them were summoned for so doing before
the magistrates on Thursday. Immediately on read-
ing these smmmonses a turn-out took place, and a
meeting was held at the Marsh on Wednesday even-
ing, which was adjourned to Thursday morning, when
a procession of weavers was marshalled, and proceeded
to the Town-hall in a body, when the cases above re-
ferred to were heard and excited great interest. The
parties promised to return to their work and serve the
notice required by their employers.—Preston Guardian.

" 'Who runs may read."

POZETUIV.

On Saturday evening their Majesties the King and
Queen of the French received the Minister of Sweden,
the Duke de Marmier, and M. Jubelin, Under-Secretary

of State of the Marine.

The Constitutionnel mentions that some of the equi-
pages of Marshal Soult, accompanied by an Aide-de-
Camp, arrived in Paris on Sunday morning, and that
the Marshal would return to assume the Presidency of

the Council during the King's journey to England.
Marshal Bugeaud is expected to arrive in Paris about
the same time, with six Algerian chiefs, who are to
travel through France at the expense of the Government.

Accounts—from Toulon of the 18th inst. announce,
that the schooner Etoile had been dispatched on a mis-
sion to Tunis. It was believed that she was the bearer
of au order to Admiral Parseval Deschines to return to
Toulon with the naval division under his command.
The Berlin State Gazette informs us that there will be
an exhibition of the products of industry next year at
Vienna, but that it will be confined to the manufactures
of Austria, whereas the Berlin exhibition includes the
products of the whole of Germany. The Emperor of
Austria intends, it is said, to create a special order of
merit for the manufacturers who shall be declared worthy
of it, ar, d the possessor of the decoration will be declared
noble, lut his nobility is not to be hereditary.
A let ter from Gibraltar of the 11th, states that the
frigate Belle Poule and three steamers sailed on that day
for Ivlogadore, to take on board the French garrison left
on that island. On the 12th the Spanish Charge d'Af-
faires vvas to proceed in the Christina frigate to Tan-,
giers, to terminate finally all the differences between
Spain. and Morocco.
One of the luggage vans of the Prince de Joinville ar-
rived at the Tuileries on Saturday.
Thte Hanover journals state that in the night of the
15th instant a frightful conflagration, rendered unre-
strains blo by a violent gale from the south-west, de-
stroyk i, in the space of six hours, no fewer than 300
buildin gs in the town of Clausthal. Several persons lost
their lives.

The Count de St. Aulaire has returned to Paris from
his sett of Perigord, and will in a few days take his de-
paean e for England, to be ready to receive the King on
his arrival.

The Hospital steamer Cerl ere arrived on the 18th
inst ant at Toulon from Algiers, which port she left on
the 15th. She brought 255 passengers, 90 of whom
wer e sick soldiers from the hospitals at Algiers. She
has also brought cases containing the tents of the son of
the Emperor of Morocco taken at the battle of Illy.
Stockholm journal of the 10th instant says it is
generally understood in Sweden that the Emperor of
Morocco has abandoned all claim to tribute from Sweden
and Denmark.

The Emperor of Russia, says the Augsburg Gazette,
has sanctioned the decisio❑ of the Diet of Frankfort per-
mitting certain German Princes to take the title of Royal
Rig' mess.

COURT CIRCULAR.

Their Royal HighnessesCheliulTe of Cambridge
and the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh
Strelitz have arrived at Scone Palace, Perth, the resi-
dence of the Earl of Mansfield.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer returned to his
residence, Beechworth House, Surrey, from town, on
Monday afternoon.

WINDS olt—T UESD A Y.

Intelligence was received at the Castle this morn-
ing, from Blair Athol, announcing that her Majesty
and his Royal Highness Prince Albert may be ex-
pected to arrive at Windsor from the North on
Thursday, the 3d proximo, or in the morning of the
following day.
This being the last day for the State apartments to
be open to the public until after the departure of the
King of the French (who is expected to arrive on
Monday se'nnight), nearly 800 persons visited the
rooms previously to their closing at six o'clock this
evening. At an early hour to-morrow morning 20
workmen will be engaged in making the necessary
preparations for the reception of his Majesty the King
of the French, who will occupy a suite of five rooms
on the north side of the Castle.

Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the
Princess Alice, and Prince Alfred, will leave the
Pavilion at Brighton, for the Castle, on Monday or
Tuesday next ; her Majesty, it is stated, having aban-
doned the intention of visiting Brighton in the royal
yacht previously to returning to Windsor.
It is now considered more than probable that the
Court will proceed to the Isle of Wight, there to
sojourn for a brief period, immediately after the de-
parture of the King of the French. A gentleman in
the department of the Lord Chamberlain, proceeded
to Osborne House this morning for the purpose of
making the necessary arrangements at her Majesty's
marine residence in the island, for the reception of
the Court, in the event of the contemplated visit
taking place. Indeed, it is stated that her Majesty
and the Prince Consort will accompany the King of
the French, in the Royal Victoria and Albert yacht,
across the English Channel to within a league of the
French coast.
The stay of his Majesty in England will certainly
not be prolonged beyond seven or eight days.

CLERKENWELL.

Mr. Combe was occupied, during the greater part of yester-
day, in investigating into the cases of three young men, named
Kedgell, French, and Honin, the former being charged with
creating a disturbance at the Clerkenwell workhouse, and the
twe latter with knocking at the door of Mr.Cooksey, the
overseer.
The boys had been working in the yard of industry attached
to the workhouse, all day. They were drawing trucks laden
with wood. In the morning the parish gave them their break-
fast ; but ninepence each was considered sufficient
they
the work received. There was
nt ioo ncomplainttheir
that day's work, which
the as-
signed them, but when they applied for lodging in the evening,
at the workhouse door, they were refused it. They had ex-
pended on food the ninepenze, and could rot consequently ob-
tain lodging, unless at the workhouse. They applied to the
overseer, Mr. Dyer, but he refused them, and the poor fellows,
not liking to wander about the streets all night, in severe wea-
ther, knocked at the workhouse and overseer's doors. For so
doing they were given into custody, and lodged at the station-
house.
It was contended by the parochial functionaries that the
boys had formerly misconducted themselves in the workhouse.
Mr. CoatEE said that if the boys had misconducted them-
selves in the very worst manner they had a right to admission
as destitute poor. Surely they should nut be suffered to wander
about the streets, perhaps be driven into the commission of crime.
It was quite plain that ninepence would not feed them during a
days' 'hard work and pay 'for their lodging. It was absurd to
think so. If they misconducted themselves at. the workhouse
they could be punished for it, but even a murderer if he were
utterly destitute could not be legally refused a night's lodging
in a workhouse.—The boys were discharged.
In the course of the investigation it was stated that there arc
at present 600 paupers in the Clerkenwelt workhouse which
was built to contain only half that number.

In addition to the subscribed Capital of £300,000, the Assured
have the security of the Company's income of nearly £60,000

of considerably larger amount than the estimated liabilities of
the Company.
The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest. scale com-
patible with the security of the Assured, and the stability of
the Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder
an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the
deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division

CLERKENWELL.

.filan Harvey, a well-known thief, was charged with felo-
niously attempting to enter the house of Mr. Meares, a gentle-
man of fortune, residing at No. 12, New Ormond-street.
It appeared from the evidence that on the previous night,
Mr. Meares being standing in the hall, beard a key in the street
door, and the latch gently lifted up. The key was taken out
again, and another key applied. Mr. Meares rushed to the
door, opened it, and seized the prisoner. A policeman was
sent for, and several skeleton keys were found on his person.
Mr. GREEN WOOD sentenced the prisoner to three months'
imprisonment.
Mr. Combe was occupied, during the greater part of yester-
day, in investigating into the cases of three young men, named
Kedgell, French, and Ilonin, the former being charged with
creating a disturbance at the Clerkenwell workhouse, and the
twe latter with knocking at the door of Mr. Cooksey, the
overseer.

The boys had been working in the yard of industry attached
to the workhouse, all day. They were drawing trucks laden
with wood. In the morning the parish gave them their break-

fast ; but ninepence each was considered sufficient remunera-
tiong for their day's work, which they received. There was
no complaint that the boys had not performed the work as-
signed them, but when they applied for lodging in the evening,
at the workhouse door, they were refused it. They had ex-
pended on food the ninepence, and could not consequently ob-
tain lodging, unless at the workhouse. They applied to the
overseer, Mr. Dyer, but he refused them, and the poor fellows,
not liking to wander about the streets all night, in severe wea-
ther, knocked at the workhouse and overseer's doors. For so
doing they were given into custody, and lodged at the station-
house.

It was contended by the parochial functionaries that the
boys had formerly misconducted themselves in the workhouse.
Mr. COMBE said that if the boys had misconducted them-
selves in the very worst manner they had a right to admission
as destitute poor. Surely they should not be suffered to wander
about the streets, perhaps be driven into the commissionnf crime.
It was quite plain that ninepence would not feed them during a

they could be punished for it, but even a murderer if he were
utterly destitute could not be legally refused a night's lodging
