form divine arrayed in all the brilliancy which suits
so well with its own grace and loveliness, and we
wish to see the " human face divine," by " the dis-
coursing of sweet music," awakened into the trans-
port, or soothed into tl►e languishment, which so
well becomes it. All this we still wish to see, but
we would have the gratification of the rich, the gay,
and the beautiful, to be mingled with kind and cha-
ritable regard for those of their fellow-mortals to
whom a less happy lot has been assigned ; and with
these views, in which NI,C believe that all our
readers sympathize, the vast assemblage of delighted
faces which clustered round the splendid orchestras
of the Yorkshire Festival presented to us a sight
that imparted the most unalloyed enjoyment to eur
hearts. The happiness with which they beamed
was not selfish, grovelling, and confined—no, it was
diffusive, generous, charitable. Each emotion of
delight, to those who were fortunate enougir to be
present, was likewise fraught with blessings to some
wearied form or some sad heart; and the very tones
that thrilled through the hearts of the enraptured
audience, wafted to the dwellings of poverty and to
the hospitals of disease the " glad tidings" of relief
and of comfort. It is impossible, as it would savour
of great ingratitude, did we not include in the tri-
bute of our humble praise, the unremitting and dis-
interested exertions of the Sub-conductors, Mr.
Philip Knapton, Dr. Camidge, and Mr. Camidge,
all of York ; and Mr. Whyte, of Leeds. If the
most assiduous and polite attention to the wishes of
all connected with this vast assemblage, united to
the toilsome and continuous detail necessarily inse-
parable from all Musical Festivals, (and from this
in an especial manner), entitle them to the meed of
applause, then it will be great and sincere, as have
been their own praiseworthy exertions. Their
duties were of no ordinary description, seeing that
the head (or we should say nominal head) never
was very remarkable for habits of business, what-
ever pretensions he might be deemed to possess for
a practical knowledge of music; but music in the
abstract is one thing, business another; and it is
seldom the man of genius or musician of eminence
unites these envied qualities in his own person. A
man of business, therefore, is quite indispensable
upon all such occasions ; ►nid, for time time to come,
it is to be hoped that private friendship will no
longer be permitted to stand between time public
and its more complete enjoyment.

GRAND REVIEW OF THE ROYAL ARTIL-
LERV.-A Grand Review of the Royal Regiment of Artil-
lery took place on Monday on the Common and Hills of
Plinnstead, near West Wickham. Lord Ilia., and a
brilliant cortege of General and Staff Officers were on the
ground at an early hour. Upwards of 10,000 persons were
present. Towards the close of the day a .platform broke
down on which many persons were standing, several were
wounded, but none, we understand, dangerously.
A Messenger left the Government offices on
Suaday evening, for Ireland, with despatches and instruc-
tions ferthe Lord Lieutenant ; and we understand that he
was also the bearer of a Proclamation, supposed to be on
the subject of the "Brunswick" Associations.—Morninp
Herald.

The young Queen of PORTUGAL is said to
be a remarkably well-informed child. She writes a beau-
tiful hand, speaks Italian and French with the utmost cor-
rectness, German fluently, and English so as to be perfectly
understood. She owes her education to her late amiable
and excellent mother, the daughter of the Emperor of
AUSTRIA. Since her arrival in England she has written a
letter in her own hand to his MaJESTy.—Morning Paper.
An affair which is likely to make some noise
in the sporting circles has, we understand, been on the
tapis for some time, and given rise to a good deal of con-
versation at the West-end of the Town. The parties en-
gaged are, a gentleman, a native of the Sister Isle, and a
set of sporting characters well known about town. We
are furnished with some curious particulars relative to the
affair, but shall abstain for the present giving them publicity.
The denouement -of this extraordinary misunderstanding
between the parties will, when brought to light, open a
new scene in the annals of honourable play.-11•Iorning
Paper.

IRELAND.—lntelligence of a very important
nature may shortly be expected from Ireland. A confi-
dential communication was made by the Irish Government
to the Ministry, relative to the proceedings of some of the
principal Catholic leaders, and also the alarming state of
the country in general. The resolution which the Go-
vernment is understood to have agreed on, is to order the
arrest of some of the agitators, and to send orders to put a
stop to the meetings of a character to give apprehension
to the Government. At the same time troops are moved
from all parts towards the ports opposite the Irish coast, in
ease of any disturbance en the promulgation of the measures
of Government. The Coldstream regiment of Guards are
under orders for Wednesday tn proceed to Manchester, to
replace the troops forwarded from thence towards the
western coast.--Morning Papa-.
We have reason to believe that the site for
" The King's College," the rival of the London Univer-
sity, is positively fixed upon. It will be on the spot now
occupied by Lord LisrowaLL's house and grounds at
Knightsbridge, on the western road, fronting Hyde-park,
and the grounds (upwards of five acres) extending to-
wards Brompton. The Committee had repeatedly endea-
voured to procure a plot of ground in such direction, with-
out success; and, in despair, got into treaty With the
Woods and Forests Commissioners, for a piece of ground
in the upper circle of the Regent's park, when the offer
of this property of Lord LISTOWELL was made. The
progress of that negotiation alone prevented compliance
with the offer immediately.—The subscriptions, it is cal-
culated, will amount to 200,000/.

On Thursday last the brig Jane, of London,
WEDDELL, master, arrived at St. Ives, from Madeira, after
a passage of ten days, having on board General VALDEZ,
the late Governor of Madeira, his lady, and six children,
with their domestics, and about 50 officers and merchants,
who fled from the island on its being taken possession of
by the expedition fitted out at Lisbon by Don MIGUEL.
They state that the priests had formed a plot, in which
they had engaged the militia, to declare for MIGUEL as
soon as the expedition should appear. The regular force
did not exceed 200 men, who were posted in different
parts of the island. On the revolt of the militia all was
panic and confusion amongst the friends of Don PEDRO
.and the Constitution, and they fled on board the British
ship of war Alligator for safety. They were repeatedly
demanded by the authorities of the Usurper, to whom Cap-
tain CANNING refused to surrender them. The British
officer finally put them on board the Jane, and conveyed
them to the distance of ten leagues from Funchal Bay, in
which were two Portuguese ships of the line and two
frigates, besides corvettes and transports. The General
and family, with the other passengers, proceeded:to Fal-
mouth, where the former remained to meet the young
QUEEN, whilst the officers left for Plymouth. —West
Briton.

The fine new Gothic Church at Margate is
now in •so forward a state that it will he tcady for conse-
cration the latter end of the ensuing month. In conse-
quence of the elevation of the ground upon which this sacred
edifice is erected, the spire will prove an excellent land
mark to mariners.

A gentleman from the neighbourhood of
Falkirk, travelling lately in Ireland, stopped at an inn in
Belfast. Being anxious to rise early next morning, he re-
quested the chambermaid, whose name was JEAN, to rouse.
him at half-past six, which the girl promised to do. JEAN,
however, did not appear in the morning, and the gentle-.
man, when he awoke, found it was eight o'clock. Having
dressed, he was proceeding down stairs, when he met JEAN
and challenged her for not performing her promise.—
" Why," replied JEAN, " Sure, Sir, you might have rung
the bell, and I would have come up and awoke you."

JOURNEY of the QUEEN of PORTUGAL.

EXETER, SEPT. 28.--The Queen of Portugal,
who landed with civic and military honours, at Fal-
l-6nd), at eleven o'clock a. m. on Saturday, pro-
ceeded in the course of the evening to Truro, where
her Majesty and suite slept at Pearce's Hotel, from
which place they proceeded on Sunday morninif for
Exeter, where dinner was ordered at six o'clock on
that evening at the New London Inn. It was un-
derstood on Sunday at Exeter, that her Majesty
would not, as was at first intended, proceed to Ply-
mouth for the purpose of receiving the homage of
the brave soldiers of her country who lately arrived
in that port, but would take the Bath road to Lon-
don. Her Majesty and suite travel in four of the
King's carriages and four, with two post coaches.
They will sleep lt the New London Inn at Exeter
on Sunday night, and leave for Bath (it is under-
stood) on the following day, making the journey to
town by Wednesday next. The reception which
the young Queen has met with since her landing has
been most gratifying. From the fineness of the
weather at Falmouth on Saturday, the sea was
covered with boats, and vessels indeed, of every de-
scription ; and the young Queen seemed to enjoy the
gay spectacle in the highest degree.

_ •
The 4th corps of Royal Irish Dragoon Guards,
quartered at Exeter, were ordered out o►+ Sunday to
escort her Majesty into that city.
FALMOUTH, SEPT. 27.—11er Majesty Donna
Maria, Queen of Portugal, landed this morning at
eleven o'clock from the linperatriz frigate, in the
state barge belonging to that vessel, under appro-
priate salutes from the forts and shipping, the latter
having their yards manned, and escorted by upwards
of 100 boats, decorated with flags, flowers, and ever-
greens. The weather being remarkably fine, the
sight was most imposing and interesting, and her
youthful Majesty appeared quite gratified with the
warm reception she experienced from the inhabitants
of Falmouth and its vicinity. A flight of stairs
was erected at the Town Quay, covered with scarlet
cloth, by which her Majesty landed, and on ascend.,
the steps she was received by Lord Clinton and Sir
W. Fremantle, Governor Fenwick, the Brazilian
and Portuguese Nobility and staff, the Brazilian
Consul, &c. by whom she was escorted to the King's
private carriage, about 200 yards in front, through a
file of honorary police (under the orders and command
of Samuel Pcllew, Esq. Collector of the Customs, as
High Constable), with rosettes to their breasts,
armed with pikes, and preceded by a hundred respect-
able little girls of her own age (tell years) dressed
in white, with garlands round their heads,who strewed
the Queen's path with flowers as she moved for-
ward on the platform erected for the purpose. On
entering the carriage, she was driven to the resi-
dence of Mrs. Elizabeth Fox, at Arwenack, where
a Court was formed, with a guard of honour, &c.,
and soon after the Mayor, Corporation, and respect-
able inhabitants, in grand procession, with insignia of
office, &c., were introduced, when an appropriate
address was delivered by the former, congratulatory
of her arrival in this country, to which the Queen,
young as she is, delivered a viva voce reply, in Por-
tuguese, which was interpreted afterwards by the
Niarquis of Barbacena. The gentlemen were then
introduced successively by Lord Clinton, and had
the honour of kissing her Majesty's hand. After
going through a variety of formal ceremonies, exhi-
biting herself to the populace, who heartily cheered
her, &c., she partook of a handsome dinner, provided
by the worthy hostess and her family, and at three
p. m. entered the King's open carriage, and departed
under another salute for Truro (preceded by a guard
of the inhabitants, and followed by about 20 gentle-
men's carriages), where she sleeps to-night, and to-
morrow morning proceeds on for the metropolis,
through Exeter and Bath. The Queen is undoubt-
edly a most interesting and agreeable personage, and
appears to be 14 or 15 years of age.
