THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE.—His Royal Highness
who is travelling under the title of the Earl of Culloden, ar
rived on Sunday night at Cologne. He proceeded next day to
the Palace of Iturnpenheim, on the road from Frankfort to
Wurtzburg.
STATE or TRADE--The market continues to bc
favourably influenced by the fine weather, and some descrip-
tions of yarn are rather higher than last week ; whilst goods
are in better demand at previous rates.—Manchester Guardia:.

We regret to bear that the disease of the poteo
crop, which appears to be so general throughout the kingdom,
has committed its ravages to a very great extent in this district.
Upwards of half the crop is said to be unfit for use.—Brighton
Gazette.
CONFERENCE OF EVANGELICAL MINIsTEits.—A
proposal having been made that a great meeting of Evangelical
Christians, of different churches and countries, should be held
in London, for the purpose of " associating and concentrating
the strength of an enlightened Protestantism against the en-
croachment of Pop-I.y and Puseyism, and to promote the in-
terests of a Scriptural Christianity," it has been thought de-
sirable that a preliminary meeting of the various denominations
in Great Britain and Ireland should be held ; and it has ac-
cordingly been decided that this preliminary conference shall
take place at Liverpool on the Ist of October. It is expected
that '2OO ministers will be present, and that the proceedings
will occury three days.—Manchester Guardian.
We rc,oice to say that the accounts of the harves
continue most favourable. Ca every side there is the appear-
ance cf an abundant crop.—Brighton Gazette.
PRINCE CHARLES ST.EWART.—A controversy has
arisen regarding the orthography of the name Stewart, it
being maintained by many that it should be spelt Stuart. There
is nothing more subject to the caprice of individuals than the
manlier in which they spell their proper names ; the origin of
appellations being entirely lost sight of. This is seen very ob-
viously in the word before us. Robert 11., Great Steward of
Scotland, gave, from his office, the name by which the Scottish
royal family were afterwards distinguished, and the substitution
of t for d arose merely from its being more suitable to Scottish
pronounci,tion. It is is said that it was Queen Mary who first
a
altered the mode of spelling, and having been brought up in
France it was very probable that ahe did so; indeed, there
was no other way in which French writers could spell it.
There is an announcement of a reprint, with ample notes, by
William 111eikleham, Esq., LL.B., of all the passages in the
Glasgow Co .rant of 1745 relating to Prince Charles, which
will be exceedingly curious, as that gentleman's copy is the
only one known to be extant. We perceive that he has the
name printed " Stewart," in which he is perfectly correct in
reference to its origin. The Italians, with whom Prince
Charles spent his youths could not otherwise spell this word,
and the Highlanders having also no w in their alphabet, were
compelled to use the same orthography. It is, therefore, affec-
tation to retain a mode of ipeUiog which nations were forced-
to adopt from the defect of their alphabet.
