Several journals state that the Duke de Bordeaux is
to be married to the younger daughter of the King of
oaxony.
Prince Louis Bonaparte has addressed a letter from
gam to the Constitutionnel, complaining of the manner in
which that journal has spoken of him, in an article
written on the occasion of the death of the late ex-King
of Spain. The principal points of Prince Louis's letter
are a denial that his -conduct had caused the mainte-
nance of the law enforcing the banishment of the Bona-
parte ; family and, next, a denial that his uncle was
hostile to the motives which produced the Prince's at-
tempts at Strasburg and Boulogne. The Constitutionnel,
In remarking on this letter, says, that, notwithstanding
‘the assertions of Prince Louis, it retains its opinion that
nig uncle was altogether opposed to his nephew's conduct
on both occasions.
The Liberal du Nord gives an account of serious dis-
turbances which had just taken place at Somain. The
Populace assembled with pickaxes, spades, and weapons
thetooklevelled embankments of the railroad constructing in the ar-
rondissement of Douai, on account, it is said, of the in-
demnities for the land expropriated not having been paid.
It required the presence of the Procureur u Roi, with
brigades of gendarmery from Douai, Marcdhiennes, and
Orchies, to restore order. las
The new Game-law Bill, twithstanding its severity,
continues to be infringed. On Wednesday a man was
apprehended in the forest of Bondy, in the act of placing

.4 Mari was also discovered, yesterday, in the act of in-
troducing into Paris three quails and two partridges. All
these birds were sent to the Hotel Dieu, to be given to
the convalescent patients.

thielrshi
Men, had been seen about Paris. They are on
Conseil way from Cherbourg to Toulon, where, says the

On Saturday a Parliamentary return, which was moved
for by Mr. Gladstone was printed, showing the declared
value of furniture exported from the United Kingdom
in the years 1840, 1841, 1842, 1843, and 1844, to July
last. In 1840 the declared amount of British cabinet
and upholstery wares exported from the United Kingdom
was 78,1241. ; in 1841, 76,5481. ; 1842, 75,3441. ; 1843,
80,5251. ; and in 1844, to July last, the amount was
35,1591.
On Saturday morning, at eight o'clock, the extreme
sentence of the law was carried into effect at the Stafford
county gaol on William Beards, who was convicted at

Merino, is erroneous ; he is at present in excellent

Mr. Sheil has purchased a house in Eccleston-square

The river, yesterday and Saturday, presented a most
remarkable and unusal appearance, in consequence of the
tide, which was so low at one period as to cause the
greatest difficulty among the steam-boats and other
vessels in navigating the river, particularly between
London-bridge and Chelsea. At Waterloo and Black-
friars, the river had more the appearance of a canal, and
might have been easily waded through. The business
at Blackfriars pier was considerably impeded in embark-
ing and landing the passengers who were constantly
arriving by the various boats.
The comet discovered by M. Mauvais may be seen
with the naked eye in the direction of the east. Its tail
appears to be about one foot long, and its light is rather
dim. Round the comet is a circle similar to that which
surrounds the moon when the weather is about to change.
We understand that Mr. Dyce Sombre, whose very re-
markable case was only a few days back the subject of
discussion in the Court of Chancery, has a second time
effected his escape from the persons appointed to look
after him.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—TOIHOPPOVV, Tues-
day, night, shuts up this noble theatre. We may there-
fore bid adieu to Italian opera and music in London,
until the spring of 1845 bids us look forward again to its
renewal.
BANQUET TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE
or PRUSSIA AT APSLEY HOUSE.—On Saturday even-
ing the Duke of Wellington gave a magnificent enter-
tainment at Apsley House to his Royal Highness the
Prince of Prussia. Their Royal Highnesses the Duch-
ess of Gloucester (attended by Lady Caroline Murray)
and Duchess of Cambridge, accompanied by the Here-
ditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Mecklenburgh
Strelitz, and attended by Baron Knesebeck, arrived from
Kew at six' o'clock, the Royal visitors being received by
the Noble and Gallant host and Lord Charles Wellesley.
The band of the Grenadier Guards was stationed in the
vestibule, and welcomed the Royal party with all ho-
nours. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge
and his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar
came shortly afterwards. His Royal Highness the
Prince of Prussia and suite, in two of
the Queen's carriages, arrived at a quarter
past six, the Duke welcoming the Illustrious
Prince as he alighted from his carriage. The
royal party and the guests invited to the entertainment,
assembled in the Waterloo Gallery, and at half-past six
the distinguished circle passed from the gallery through
the range of saloons to the grand dining-room. In ad-
dition to the Noble Duke and his august guest, there
were present their Royal Highnesses the Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge, Duchess of Gloucester, and the
Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Meek-
lenburgh Strelitz, his Serene Highness Prince Edward
of Saxe Weimar, his Excellency Chevalier Bunsen, his
Excellency M. Dedel, his Excellency Baron Brunnow, the
Lord Chancellor, the Earl and Countess of Westmor-
land, Sir Robert and Lady Sale and Mrs. Sturt, Sir
George Murray, Sir Willoughby Gordon, Sir John
Macdonald, Lord and Lady Charles Wellesley, Count
Konigsmark, Count Herrman Puckler, Baron Schleinitz,
Baron de Thile, Lieutenant Thile, Mr. Ernest. Bunsen,
Captain Meynell, R.N., Baron Knesebeck, Lady Caroline
Murray, &c. Shortly after eight o'clock the whole of,
the party proceeded to witness the performances at her
Majesty's Theatre.
CAUTION.—The public must be on their guard
against a gang of scamps, who, under the pretence of
being tradesmen, advertise for the loan of small sums of
money for short periods, offering at the same time secu-
rity to double the value. It is almost useless to add,
that whenever they meet with success, they are never
afterwards heard of, and that the supposed security is
comparatively worthless. The gang consists of forty
members, with a well known man of capital at their head.
We understand that measures are being adopted to pro-
secute the lot for conspiracy.
ROYAL MATRIMONIAL INTRIGUES.—" It is not the
daughter of the King of Saxony, as we stated," says the
Revue de Paris, "but the daughter of Prince John of
Saxony, brother to King Frederick Augustus, whom the
Duke of Bordeaux had asked in marriage ; but, from our
private information, we have reason to suppose that the
Legitimatist party will again be deceived in its expecta-
tion. The marriage of the Duke is, for that party, a
source of considerable anxiety and a constant pre-occu-
pation. A few months ago they were on the point of
marrying the Pretender to a sister of the King of Naples.
They artfully profited by a temporary irritation of his
Neapolitan Majesty. The King of the Two Sicilies, who
had hitherto refused to recognise Queen Isabella 11.,
suddenly determined on sending an ambassador to her in
consequence of being flattered with the hope of marrying
Count Trapani with the young Queen. The Neapolitan
Ambassador is still at Madrid, and Count Trapani at
Naples. King Ferdinand also hoped that his younger
sister would espouse a French Prince. The Prince, on
his way to Africa, touched at the Gulf of Bahia, saw
the young Princess to whom he was to be betrothed, and
departed. It was then the Legitimatist party demanded
the hand of the Princess for the Duke of Bordeaux,

which was assented to. The alliance was near being
concluded, when the Duke de Montebello interfered in
the name of the French Government.. The negotiation
was broken off, and M. de Montebello, who had arrived
at Naples for the purpose of espousing by proxy the
Queen's sister, was invited to take out his passports."
THE STRIKE IN THE COLLIERIES.—We learn from
Newcastle that a number of the pitmen have returned to
their employment. But thousands still continue the
" strike," and the entire district is suffering severely
through the withdrawal of the mere wages that ought to
be earned and spent by this large mass of men. It is
calculated that more than 30,000 have been out of work.
The earnings of these men have averaged about twenty
shillings in money, and their general advantages, in the
way of cottages, gardens, and other similar contingen-
cies, have amounted to as much more. The greatest
alarm prevails through the whole district. Matters are
almost worse than if all the workmen had remained ob-
stinate, for the quarrels and fighting between those in
employment and the men who will not take it, are in-
cessant and unmanageable.
We are sorry to see an announcement of the death
of Mr. Cary. He was a most accomplished scholar, and
a most amiable kindhearted man. His " Translation
of Dante is executed with sustained power and simpli-
city. It is the best in the language, and one of the best
translations in any language. It will probably associate
his name with our English literature as long as the great
Florentine's works have honour and place amongst us.—
