POILISIGN.

On Wednesday the King of the French and the Royal
family removed from Neuilly to St. Cloud, as their
autumnal residence. The Constitutionnel states that the
King will to-morrow pass in review the troops et: the gar-
rison of Paris, and on the f Mowing day set out fur Eu.
The Presse informs us that General Baron Athalin is
expected from London to-morrow, and that nothing has
yet been decided as to the persons who are to accompany
the King to England. The suite, however, adds the
Presse, will not be numerous. Marshal Soult is ex-
pected to arrive in Paris before the departure of his
Majesty.
It is believed that M. Guieot will leave Paris for
London on the sth of October. He will not accompany
King Louis Philippe, but will join his Majesty at Wind-
sor. Admiral Niackau is the only one of the Mi-
niaters who will accompany the King from Treport to
Windsor.
The Gazette de Paris says that Marshal Bugeaud is to
return immediately to France, and that he will probably
replace Marshal Soult in the Ministry as Minister of
Part M. Guiaot then becoming the nominal, as he is
already the actual, head of the Ministry.
According to the Francs there is no truth in the report
that the King and Queen of Naples; will come to Paris on
the occasion of the marriage of his Royal Highness the
Duke d'Aumale, and that the marriage is to take place
at Naples in November.
The hfoniteur publishes the returns of the principal
good. imported into France in August last, the duties
on which amounted to 13,780,462 f. As compared with
the corresponding period of 1843, there is an increase in
the receipts of 1,487,783 f., and of 2,517,882 f. compara-
tively to 1842. The linen trade, checked by the raising
of the tariff, was fast recovering, and the importation of
flaxen and hempen yarn considerably exceeded what it
was in August, 1842 and 1843. The Custom duties le-
vied during the eight months of 1844, ending on the Ist
of September last, amounted to 100,308,698 f. •or
6,687,575 f. more than in the corresponding period of
1843, and 10,756,568 f. more than in 1842.
According to a letter from Malta of the 15th, the
misunderstanding between the officers of the Belvidere
and some French naval officers at Tunis respecting a sa-
lute, and which has been described by the Malta journals
as a wanton and gross insult to the British flag, was en-
tirely the result of accident, and had been satisfactorily
arranged by the intervention of the chief officers of the
respective ships.
The Semaphore states, that Marshal Bugasud had dos
mended that Abd-el-Kader should be sent to a seaport of
Morocco, so that a French Consul might constantly
watch his movements.
The corps of operations of the Moselle (says the
Meesager of Wednesday evening) is dia.olved from the
(late of the 25th. His Royal Highne.as the Duke de
Nemours will, this day, pass the review of honour, and
distribute the decorations conferred by the King. To.
morrow (27th) the troops will begin to move towards the
different garrisons assigned to them.
A Berlin correspondent writes on the 20th instant :
" During the last five years the population of this capital
has been increased by 51,643 inhabitants, or more than
10,000 a year. Within the first eight months of the pre-
sent year the increase has amounted to 11,200. In con-
sequence of this rapid and vast augmentation, the exten-
sive fields of KCO,nnitz, which are within its boundaries,
but have hitherto been cultivated, are to be built urn.
Phis new quarter will contain about 900 licuses. rhe
streets are already traced out, and many lots have been
sold."

On Wednesday the affair of the Tour de Neale came
on before the Court of Assizes of the Seine, and is ex-
pected to take up three sittings. The testimony of the
several witnesses being of a nature totally unfit for the
public ear, the Court decided on having the trial con-
ducted with closed doors. The prisoners, nine in num-
ber, belong in general to the better class of workmen,
chiefly house-painters, and are all exceedingly young men.

MAW AND POLIONI.
In the Insolvent Debtors' Court, Mr. Commissioner
Pollock granted a warrant for the commitment to New-
gate of John Henry Dowley, for contempt, in disobeying
the order of the court to pay 301. a year, according to
promise, out of his salary as clerk in the Sewer's-office.
At Marlborough-street rolice-court, Thomas Jones.
charged with stealing a quantity of tools frum the manu-
factory of Messrs Broadwood, pianoforte makers, Great
Pulteney-street, the property of the workmen employed
in the factory, was fully committed for trial. The pri-
soner had formerly been employed on the premises.
John Hobbs, foreman in the employ of Mr. Michael
Ridding, contractor, was charged at Union-hall with
embezzling money to the amount of 1601., the property
of his master. The complainant had of late pur-
chased a number of dilapidated houses, which were
pulled down under the superintendence of the prisoner,
who had authority to dispose of the materials. In
this capacity the prisoner had received various sums
of money, which it was his duty to base accounted for
to his employer, but instead of doing so, lie converted
the proceeds to his own purposes. When ho was ac-
cused of the offence, he confessed to it. As other
charges are to be preferred against the prisoner, he was
remanded.
At Queen-square, Charles and Joseph Smart, brothers,
described as mechanics, who were too idle to work, were
Ftiday oharged with " deserting the workhouse" of
St. Luke's, Chelsea, and with disposing of the parish
clothing. Mr. Sutton, the mister of the house, informed
the magistrate that the practice was becoming every day
more frequent. No less than sixteen men had absconded
with their suits within the last few weeks. Mr. Bond
said he would only commit the defendants for ten days ;
but if he found that this practice, so ruinous to the
parish, were continued, he should, on future occasions,
inflict the full penalty of two months.
At Marylebone, Wm. Williams, a sergeant belonging
to the Great Western Railway Company's police, was
fined 20s. for an assault on a young man named Blake.

LYCEUM THEATRE.
Aliss Woolcot, of the Manchester Theatre, made*
most successful delnit at this theatre on Saturday, in
a new comic scene entitled Outgeneralled. She enacts
the part of a young widow, who assumes various dig'
guises for the purpose of testing the sincerity of her
lover. Miss Woolcot is an excessively pretty blonde,
with light flowing ringlets, laughing blue eyes, and
brilliant complexion. She is animated, graceful, aria
lady-like, and will, we doubt not, ere long, take*
lead in genteel comedy. Since Miss Foote left the
stage, we have seen no one so fitted to succeed her in
her peculiar line as Miss Woolcot. Her success was
triumphant ; she was called for at the conclusion,
and bouquets were literally showered upon her.

ADELPHI THEATRE.
The Adelphi opened on Saturday for the winter
season, under the direction of Madame Celest*.
Our readers are aware, that during the recess Web•
ster has become lessee of this favourite theatre, and
its appearance on Saturday evening bore am l 4
testimony to the taste and liberality of OA
most enterprising of managers. The theatre hss
been completely renovated in every part. The decors•
tions of the front of the boxes and of the prosceniuM
consist of richly carved gold ornamental foliage and
gold mouldings on a beautiful white ground. The
satin paper with which the boxes are lined correspond
with the exterior decorations, the cushions and dra.,
perks being of a rich crimson velvet. The dome hes
been ornamented in a similar style, and the old ormolu
chandelier has been removed, and a magnificent 00
chandelier substituted in its place. These altera•
tons give the interior of the theatre a very light, Arid
cheerful, and. elegant appearance. The comfort of
the audience has also been cared for. This, which
formerly was one of the closest, is now one of the
best ventilated theatres in London. A great improve'
',lent has been made in the construction of the boat' h
which now all radiate from the centre of the stage,
so as to command a view of the stage from every part
of them. The new curtain and the new drop scene,
both from the pencil of Mr. Marshall, are exceedingly
tasteful and beautitUl. The strength of the carp
dramatique is greatly increased. The old favourites
of last season are retained. Paul Bedford, Wilkinson'
and Mrs. Fitzwilliarn return to the scene of their for'
mer triumphs, and liaison, of Drury-lane, has joined
the Adelphi corps. The piece chosen for the opening
was a drama' entitled Mother and Sim,. a translation
from the French by Bourcicault. Victor (isiedlnile
Celeste), a banker's clerk, is the only sop
of Madame Lagrange (Mrs. Yates), who is dYI
of consumption. Nothing can save her life but
removal to a warm climate, and to procar
the means for this removal 1* robs his employer

the truthfulness of his acting. The house was crowrid
to excess, and there is ev=ery prospect of a brilliant ~,
successful season. Previous to the performance, Iv.
Yates spoke the following Address, written by st"
A'Beckett •
" The drama's new campaign begins to-night,.
All are in arms, and eager for the fight; "
But do not take alarm at what I say,
The war we mean to wage will be in pioY;
And in our efforts we shall never cease,
To bring about a most successful piece.
Yes, we shall deem the battle bravely won.
If we can fairly get it with a run;
. We will not bluster, lest, like other folk,
We find our rapouring all end in smoke.
Though kw the forces that our troops combine,
You'll find we've got some veterans of the line;
Though but a single company we form,
We mean to try and take the town by storm.,
We really don't intend to stick at trifles, .
But call ourselves the pocket rifles.
If eulogising thus I Unger stand,
You'll think I blow the trumpet for the band---..
The band !—that word reminds me, by the ways
That of our leader I a word should lay
Our leader is a lady—very true—
A lady manager is nothing new ;
For it she is not always one in name,
She is in fact, and so it's all the same.
Besides, who'd call the male the worthier sex 1-7
Is not Regina quite as good as Rex ?
If by the greatest we could test tke small--
If what is true of one is true of all—
The feminine ought always to be first, „
And Lindley Murray's judgment be revers.
Atter that logic, it must be confess'd,
I've proved that lady managers are belt ;
At least that so in theory the lea is—
I trust you'll find it carried out in practice 1
Our dramas, ere I I ought to mention,
We should prefer them all of home invention
But if our manufacturers are prone
To work upon material not their own,
We might be left without if we declined it ;
We can but take the market as we find it.
At all events, we ask your approbation
Of our new manager—she's a translation ;
,p
But, then, the kindness to her you have sh°"
This made her feel the English stage her own'
In foreign accents though she plays each POt,
She's ceased to be an alien at heart.
If yen approve the post in which she stands,
Ratify the appointment with your hands!
