FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

WINDSOR, JULY 19.----This being the anniversary
of his Majesty's coronation, the morning was ushered
in with the ringing of the bells of thnparish church
and St. George's Chapel. At one cklock the guns
were fixed, with various other demongtrations of joy.

At half-past two o'clock his
.lESTY left the
Royal Lodge in his pony phaeton, and drove to Vir-;
gima Water, where he will pass t e 'afternoon. His
MAJESTY'S private band will be Wittendance to play
during his' MAJESTY'S eXCIICSICRIS on the water.
The Earl of Liverpool arrived at the Roal odge
this forenoon, and had a long audience ofd his L
MA -
JESTY. The Noble Earl, after partaking refresh-
ments, left about two 9:clock for London.

Yesterday the Cabinet Ministers dined with the
Earl,of Harrowby, at his house in Grosvenor-square.
The Princess Ailgusta was sufficiently recovered
yesterday, as to be able to take an airing in her car-
riage and four, during the afternoon, for about an
hour and a half, for the first time since her indispo-
sition. The Duchess of Gloucester dined with her
Royal Highness on Tueiday, at her residence in the
King's Palace, St. James's.
The Duke of York` frequently takes the exercise of
riding on horseback, since his Royal Highness has
been in a convalesceint state, by the advice of his phy-
sicians. His Ro#l Highness but rarely rode on
horseback for a length of time past, particularly since
his former illness; the Royal Duke principally rode
in a cabriolet, and (Irove himself.
Sir Herbert Taylor did not transact Military busi-
ness with his Royal Highness yesterday, on account
of Sir Herbert having appointed to hold a Levee at,
his office, in the Horse Guards, which occupied bins
nearly the whole day.
Sir Peter Laurie, the new Alderman, is said to he
the second instance of a gentleman born north or the
Tweed ever having attained that honour.

On Thursday,Sir Roger Gresley made a kind of
triumphal entry two Lichfield, where arches decorated
with oak and laurel were erected in the streets. The
Hon. Barohet woceeded to the Swan Ifni, where he
addressed the people, and in the afternoon a number

EDUCATION OF THE POOR--A system of edu-
cation, founded upon the resolutions of the Catholic
Prelates, is, we understand, about to be acted upon.
A plan has been prepared for raising a fund for this
sole purpose, which has met the approbation of the
Most Rev. Doctor Murray, and will, we have no

and Clergy throughout the country.—Dublin Morn-

There were no Orange processionsin Belfast on the

a very proper feeling in thus obeying the law of the
land. We have been informed that a number of men,
who formerly belonged to Orange. Lodges, assembled
at Aghalce, in the county of Antrim, from various
parts of the county. A very considerabte number as-
sembled at Dromara, 'Lisburn, and Lurgan.—Belfast
News Letter.

JERUSALEM A RTICUOKES.—Dr. Paris, in his
recently published Treatise on Diet, speaking of this
root, which is a species of sun-flower, and has no bo-
tanical relation with the artichoke properly so called,
observes that its name is a curious specimen of verbal
corruption. The word Jerusalem he considers to be
a corruption of (lira-sole, Turn-Sun or Heliotrope.
It acquires the title of Artichoke from its supposed
resemblance in flavour to that vegetable.
SINGULAR CIECUM ST A NC E.—The York Courant,

in describing the execution of Wilkinson for the murder
of Mr. Carter, says that the slime young woman to
whom he was to he married, was formerly on the point.
of marriage to another young man, when the projected
union was prevented by her lover being accidentally
drowned.

Lafitte speal(s, certainly, of the stagration .of
commerce in France ;: but his speech presents a
very different view of the magnitude of, the evil in
France, ~from that which is offered to us in all our
letters from the.manufacturing districts in Englund ;
and more particularly in one, .signed, " Philopatris,
of which we have given some extracts in this day's jour-
nal. " Our -warehouses," says M. Lafitte, 00 are
emptied—there is no glut in any, part ; anti even if
the contrary Were the case on some points, low prices
would invite:the application of capital,. which ;specula!,
tion never.; fails to interpose between production and
consumption, in order to preserve the equilibriuni."
Fantastical and, politico-economical enough :;brit yet
intelligible, or nearly so. In fact, the sole caw; of the
evil, according to M. Lafitte,.,--and the effect way be
measured by the want of confidence., But,
much less sums having been at the disposal (if; con-
fidence in France than in England, the want of that
useful commodity, in trade, will be of course much
less felt in the former country than-. in the latter
if there were even no other causes operating . exclu-
sively upon us, as the diminution of Bank mt. 'r, the
distrust of the public in country bankers, and tl dis-
inclination of these to assist their quondam frier ids, in

pire could have held together so long, with an anar-
chical military in the centre, opposed to all improve-
ment, is little short, of a miracle. AS the Govern-

seldom.appear among barbarians, and it will require
hardlyless energy and perseverance than he displayed
to obtain a mastery over the obstinate prejudices of the
Turks, :and. to mould them into docile subjects. It
is curious enough that a resemblance between the
Turks and , ourselves, in their laws and institutions,
has often been traced, both by English and Conti-
nentid writers. , Thw, fOr instance, the celebrated Sir
Dudley North, who lived long at Constuntitiople,, ac 7,

The celebrated Orientalist, M. Von Hammer, of

which has been Much praised, on the Continent. , The

ETRE MORNING HERALD.]
The good people of Brighton are in a sad plight at
the continued absence from that place of the Royal
Patron, whose countenance first converted it from a
trumpery second-rate fishing town into a kind of se-
cond metropolis ; and have found out, now that it is
too late, how absurd and ungrateful the conduct of
that part of them has been who were unwise enough
to disgust so valuable and important a benefactor. The
Brighton people are, to be sure, in this respect only a
type of mankind in general, who seldom know how to
value benefits till they have lost them. Why were these
good folks so inconceivably foolish, for instance, as to
allow the prospect of the sea from the Pavilion to be
shut out ? Did they suppose that the King came
among them only to,view their red-brick houses, their
cockney excrescences, or their downs without trees or
vegetation ? Was it, that having mounted, as they
thought, to the pinnacle of prosperity, they were at
liberty, with consummate ingratitude and bad taste, to
kick down the ladder by means of which they had so
risen ? Or were there sonic low spirits among them,
who thought it a great feat to have it in their power to
annoy the King ? Be this as it may, if the Brighton
people wish to get the King,back again, let them first
knock down all the hou.es which intercept the prospect
of the sea, and present the ground as a pc;ice offering
to his Majesty. They were silly enough to suppose
that the flies came after them, not after the honey-pot
—that the butterflies came after their brick-walls, and
not after the sun-flowers, the pinks, the roses, and car-
nations of the Pavilion. But it was not for air, or for
mackerel, for wheat-cars or John 'Dories, that people
of condition crowded to the place, but to be in the
way of that sun-shine which the lookers after the good
things of this world well know the value of. Like
other people, whom temporary prosperity, has made
saucy and ungrateful, the Brightomans must learn,
humility, now that they find that riding the high horse
has only thrown them into the mud.

[VW, ItEPRESENTATIVE.]
The Reports from the Gaols, which were ordered
h‘, the last parliament, have been lately published.
We ono, st earnestly desire ,that every person in the
Empire ~could have t in his power to examine these
Reports.
It would be seen by thein how attentive,
how correcttr how exact, bow minute, is the superin-
temlence of er every. department of prison discipline
under the eye' of the present Govermnent. It is now
almost irougAsible that any abuses should occur with-
out immediate detection ; it is altogether impossible
that any vestige o.r the tyrannical conduct which 'pre-
vailed in our priso. us—as it indeed prevailed in all
prisons, where, for •%,,, initever reasons the final superin-
tending power was L'iaccessible, or accessible with
greatdifficulty,--shoult.,l be again, complained of.
There is, however, anodic: danger, and cue which is
no less to be dreaded—lce may make our prisons
too attractive to our culprits. He who imagine)
that, by rendering every thin, , quite comfortable
to the incarcerated felon he it; doing a gene-
rous or humane action, will in nine cases out of ten
find that he is doing 'a most pernicious mischief to
society. Few persons have been more particularly in-
jurious to the human race than those who call them-
selves,. and deceive others into the stupidity a calling
theta, philanthropists. A careful review of the private
life of almost every one, of these people would con-
vince the inquirer that thek motives were at least
dubious—their own personal character, at least, liable
to cavils—and the general result of their labours, in
the great multitude of the eases into which they in-
trude themselves, decidedly productive of evil. We
think that a prison should be, as the old song calls it,
a place of woe ;" and hope that none of the super-
fine refinements of our philanthropical reformers will
deprive it of that character ; while we are quite sure
that, the system is now wider such management as to
make it impossible that it should be a place of « woe
unnecessary."

LPNOTIT OP PABLIAMENTS.-It appears that
from the accession of Henry VIII. to the death of
Geo. 111., wt had sixty-Jive Parliaments, and that of
these only four exceeded seven years ut their duration,
and only eight had a duration of six
years ; and the
remaininy thirty-four did rot any of them reach to the
extent of two years. Taking.. one Parliament with an-
'
other, the duration' of each, including the Long Par-
'lament in the reign of C,harles 1., and the still longer
of Charles 11., did
gust exceed two years.
At the assizes of Laval, a female named Racille•
was condemned to hard labour for life for the murder
of a child. The prisoner who had previously had
three children, stated in her defence that she had
brought into the world an ugly beast with- a tail, and
which made frightful
gr-ma4es, and that she had been
induced by her disgust to'throw it into the river.

CHESHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS.

• Mary Moran, alias Joned, (25), a lady very splendidly
dresied, and decorated with a profusion of yellow ribbons,
and her tongue withal " tipped with obit of the brogue,"
Was charged with stealing; on the Bth of April, nineteen
sovereigns, one half-sovereign, two gilt, seals, and other
articles, the property of Mr. Shaw, of Hyde. The pro-
secutor is the landlord 'of the Navigation Inn, at Hyde;.
and a few days previous to the last Chester Assizes, where
he was in attendance as a witness, be. put 147 sovereigns
in a particular desk, or chest:of drawers, in, his, beds
room. During his absence,- his wife had given gold in
exchange for notes to- several individuals; . and, accord-.
ing to the account she 'rendered him, there were twenty,
one sovereigns remaining `- in the: desk. The prisoner
had been in the service of the :prosecutor about eleven
weeks, when she opened the drawer in which. this
money was deposited (the keys of the above chest, were
left in one of the drawers), and took out the money
and thel two seals named M the indictment.---sTheman.,
norm') which the ,prisoner was detected is not a little
curious., About halfspaat tax o'clock on a Friday. morn-
ing, while the landlord was absent at Chester, the waiter,
whose; name is Alcock, came doWn stairs, and hap-
pening to look in at the door of a small parlour, he saw
reflected in looking-glass opposite, the prisoner, who was;
seated on a. sofa in the act of counting the sovereigns into
a white net purse. He communicated his suspicions on
[this subject to his mistress, and it was arranged between
them that the latter should feign sialden illness in the night
time; that Moran should be called up in great haste; and.
that Alcoa should search her bed while she was in attend-
ance on her mistress, He did so, and found concealed
under the:tnattraas, the above-named white purse, contain-
ing 19 fx, sovereigns and two seals, all of which he suffered
to remain where he found them. The next day
the landlord, returned from Chester and the prisoner teas
searched by Wood, a constable, when the purse - and its
contents were found concealed in a very peculiar manier
on her person. The naivete with which Wood gave his
evidence, created roars of laughter in Court, and even dis-
composed the gravity of the Bench itself.
A considerable number of respectably-dressed females;
who were in Court hid their blushes in—their pocket
handkerchiefs.
Mrs. Shaw, a very portly lady, the hostess,of the Navi-
gation Inn, was &tiled to prove some particular facts, mid
she underwent a severe cross-examination by the prisoner,
Whose self-possession never forsook her during the trial.
The court was convulsed with laughter during this part
of the proceedings'; the landlady cried, -"'Ohl the ridi-
culous woman ! ear inc! I shall lie i//; I shall certainly
be know I shall—lndeed I shall-Oh, you wicked
woman I—She's a most ridiculous woman, there's not a
word Of truth in what she says, Gentlemen."
The prisoner addreased the Jury at great }midi in her
.defence; and they, without hesitation, found a verdict of
•
The Chairman, in passing sentence, animadverted in
strong terms upon the enormity of the offence of which
the prisoner had been found guilty.. He regretted to find.,
that it waS not the first time she had been beforna Court
of Justice.," Tile Court 'must mark their sense of the
magnitude of ha offence by an exemplary punishment.
The sentence tipori her therefore was, that she be trans-
ported for seven years, and, in the Mean time, imprisoned
in Chester Castle to hard labour.
On hearing this' sentesce, the prisoner took occasion to
,faint but she gave sufficient indication of her intention,
to enable those about her to preVent her falling down in
the clock. ' •
• The prisoner was tried at the last Lancaster Summer As-
sizes for the warder of her illegitimate child, osul acquitted.
