" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.

in the French Chamber of Peers on Saturday
afternoon, the Duke de Broglie read the Report of
the Commission of the Peers on the Regency Bill.
It is a long document, and concludes by recom-
mending unanimously the passing of the project of
law as voted by the Deputies.
The Journal des Debats of Saturday has a remark-

able article on our late troubles, the tendency of
which is to feed the war-cry in France. We do not
say that this was the intention of. the writer, but
when he puts forth an argument that our social evils
are beyond the reach of legislative remedy, and that
England is staggering and must fall from the intoxi-
cation produced by over speculation and production,
the Debats does more to promote the desire of
collision with this country than the rabid attacks of
the Presse and National.

The repulse of Captain Smith's one hundred men,
at Port Natal, is welcome food to several of the Paris
papers. One of them has made a singular discovery.
This is nothing less than the existence of deep and
wide-spread conspiracy existing amongst the British
officers in India, both of the Company's service and
of the Line, to separate the Indian empire from Britain,
and constitute themselves its head.

The Frankfort journals assert, that Belgium has
entered into a commercial treaty with the German
League, similar to that just concluded with France,
allowing the silks and wines of Germany to enter at
the same duties.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COUI?i'.

THE CHARTIST MEETINGS.— William Taylor, a
plasterer, aged 39, was placed at the bar, charged
with feloniously cutting and wounding Robert Col-
lins, a constable of polite, with intent to do him some
grievous bodily harm. In another count he was
charged with obstructing the constable in the execu-
tion of his duty.
No counsel appeared for the prosecutioq, but Mr.
Paine defended the prisoner.
The charge arose out of the occurrences that took
place at the Chartist meeting on Kennington-common
last Monday..
Robert Collins, police-eenstable No. 108 V, deposed
that after the police had dispersed the meeting on
the Common, the prisoner and several other persons
assailed the police with stones, one of which was
thrown by the prisoner, and struck witness upon the
head. The prisoner then rushed in upon witness and
wrenched his staff from him, with which he struck
him violently about the head. . Other policemen came
to his assistance, and a souffle ensued' in which, by
the pressure of the mob, witness and several of his
fellows were pushed doWn, but they retained their
hold of the prisonercind ultimately succeeded in con-
veying him to the station-house in'Tower-street.
Henry Knutford;:police con's.table 87 L, corrobo-
rated Collins's evidence. In his cross-examination
(by Mr. Payne) the witness denied. that he had been
drinking that morning:- The Superintendent had
taken precautions that no constable should have more
than one pint orporter, and that only at dinner time.
John Brown, a Chelsea pensioner,. was passing over
the Common at the time of, the scuffle, and saw the
prisoner throw stones at the polie,emen, and "go into
close fight" with-some of them. The crowd pressed
en the police to rescue the prisoner, but witness
; ho) his walking-stick at them, and they fell back.
—(A laugh.) He flourishecihis stick as he would a
fencing-stick, and that kept .the mob back.—(A
laugh.) tie (witness) was employed that day in
delivering papers for the Income-tax, and he went to
the common, on his way home, to see what the "gen-
tlemen would do rtho wanted. to divide all the pro-
perty in the country, and.make us all equal."
Mr. PAYNE addressed the Jury for the prisoner,
who, he said, was on the evening in question return-
ing from his work, ignorant even that a meeting was
to take place on the Common, when he found himself
in the midst of the police, and was seized and very
roughly handled. This provoked him, and a struggle
ensued, in. which he wrested from one of the police a
truncheon that was lifted up to fell him, before he
knew what he was attacked for.

Several respectable witnesses gave the prisoner an
excellent character.

Mr. Holden, builder, of Vere-street, Clare•market,
said that the prisoner had been in his employment
four years as foreman, having from eight to eleven
men under him. He was married and had five
children. There could not be a more peaceable dis-
creet man in the world, nor could • there be a better
man to his wife and children.

Mr. Baron RoLen in summing up, said that there
seemed nothing -whatever to sustain the first count of
the indictment, as there could be no pretence for
saying that the prisoner assaulted the prosecutor with
an intention to do him grievous bodily harm. The wit-
nesses for the prosecution, had positively deposed that
the prisoner was one e those who threw stones ; but
even if he were not, but was one of the
crowd from which the stones were thrown,
and only gave that crowd countenance by his
presence and encouragement, he would be guilty un-
der the second count, which charged him with resist-
ing his lawful capture.
The Jury having deliberated nearly an hour, found
the prisoner Guilty, but strongly recommended him
to mercy on account of his previous good character.
Mr. Baron RoLrm said that he concurred with the
Jury in their verdict, and in the recommendation with
which they accompanied it. But he should not do
his duty if he did not sentence the prisoner to a pu-
nishment of some severity. The sentence was, that
he should be confined for three calendar months, and
kept to hard labour.

NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
EMBEZZLEMENT.—James Brim Fe, aged 39, was.
indicted with embezzling and stealing 121., and other
sums, the propriety of Joseph Price, his master.
From the evidence on the part of the prosecution,
it appeared that Messrs. Price and Co. carried on the
business of carpet and furniture manufacturers in
Compton-street, and King-street, Snow-hill. The pri-
soner at the bar had the conducting of that branch of
the business which was carried on in Compton-street ;
for doing so he had a salary of 30s. a week, and it
was his business also to collect and pay monies, and
hand the balance over to his' master. In the discharge
of his duty he had received the various sums charged
in the indictment, which he had not accounted for.

Mr. Bodkin prosecuted the prisoner ; and Mr.
Crouch appeared in his defence.
The Jury, without the slightest hesitation, found
the prisoner Guilty.
There were two other indictments charging the
prisoner with embezzling money to the amount of
upwards of 501., which the Court thought it un-
necessary to proceed with.
Mr. BODKIN observed, that altogether the prisoner
was charged with embezzling upwards of 801.
Mr. CROUCH had been instructed to state that
the prosecution had been instituted from vindictive
motives. •

Mr. BODKIN felt sure that the prisoner had fallen
into some of the bad hands who were always hanging
about the Court to entrap prisoners, and often gave
them advice which injured instead of improving their
case.

Mr. PHILIPS—It was to be lamented that many of
such persons were not hanging outside the Court.
The COMMON.SERGEANT sentenced the prisoner to
seven years' transportation.

Win. Gillett was indicted for stealing two loaves of
bread, value 6d., the property of Wm. Reynolds.
The prisoner pleaded Guilty,' and on being asked
by the Learned Common Sergeant why he had com-
mitted the theft, he stated that he did it through
hunger, having had no food for two days.
The LEARNED JUDGE sentenced him to ten days'
imprisonment, to be computed from the first day of
the session.

ROYAL VISIT TO SCOTLAND.
(THIS DAY.)
Her Majesty, Prince Albeit, and suite left Windsor
Castle this morning at 20 minutes past five, and ar-
rived at the Paddington terminus •at 10 minutes to
six. The Royal cortege consisted of two carriages,
the first of which contained the,Queen and her Bins-
trious Consort, and the second her attendants. To
prevent accidents there were placed between the
tender and the Royal carriage, a saloon; a private,
and a second class carriage. Crimson 9loth had been
spread along the platform, and the Royal party were
received by C. Russell, Esq., M.P., Chairman of
Directors, and Seymour Clark, Esq., Surerintendent
o the Company. From the terminus they started
direct for Deptford, where relays of horses were
waiting to convey them to Woolwich:-
EMBARKATION OF HER MAJESTY AT
WOOLWICH, ON BOARD THE ROYAL
GEORGE, THIS MORNING.
_ _

It having been generally known for some days past
that it was her Majesty s intention to embark this
morning, at seven o'clock, from Woolwich for Leith,
great preparations had been made by the steam-boat
proprietors for the immense number of passengers
who it was supposed would leave London at an early
hour this morning, for the purpose of witnessing the
departure of our beloved Sovereign from the shores
of England. The town of Woolwich has for the last
two days been crowded with persons having little
faith in their own :powers of early rising, and
determined to secure themselves against the chance
of disappointment. The event proved that they acted
wisely. It was expected that the scene of embarka-
tion would have eclipsed in grandeur even the me-
morable launch of "the Trafalgar" last year, but
those expectations were doomed to be sadly disap-
pointed. The morning at four o'clock was calm and
beautiful, and gave every promise of a fine day. As
the day broke, however' the clouds began to gather,
and at a quarter before five the rain commenced fall-
ing in torrents, and continued in one unintermitted pour
until after eight o'clock. Many persons who had as-
sembled on the piers along the banks of the river, for
the purpose of embarking in the first boat for Wool-
wich, Which started at five o'elock, returned home.
The proprietors -of the excursion boats looked
aghast. "- How long before you start, Captain ?"
was the question put repeatedly... by those who
dared abide " the pelting of the pitiless storm." "As
soon. as we • can get a freight," was the ominous
answer. At length some of the boats took their de-
parture, and` dreary and dismal was the progress
down the river. The weather was in every sense of
the word' a damper. :The first object that indicated
anything like •a jour de fete was the sight of the
Hospital-ship " Dreadnought" tastefully decorated
with flags. The rain at about half-past six o'clock
somewhat abated; this was just as Woolwich, with
its dockyards and its shipping, hove in sight, and as
the boat approached Woolwich, the sight, notwith-
standing. the chilling influence of the weather, was
exciting in the extreme. " The Royal George," with
the Royal standard flying at her main, her yards
manned, and her officers and men at quarters, formed
the most conspicuous object. Close alongside her
was the Commissioners' yacht, the "William and
Mary, with her yards manned. She was pro-
fusely decorated with flags. The Lightning, the
Salamander, the Monkey, and several other steam-
vessels were in attendance. Flags were seen
floating over the dock-yard, the barracks, the
arsenal, and the other public buildings. The shores
on both sides were crowded with spectators whose loy-
alty was proof against the weather, and, the coup d'ceil
was animating in the extreme. Precisely at seven
o'clock a Royal salute, fired from a battery sta-
tioned in the dockyard, answered by another salute
from the arsenal, announced the embarkation of her
Majesty. In the course of a few seconds the Royal
George, got under weigh, and being taken in tow by
the steam-tug Monkey, W. Bryant, proceeded at
a rapid rate down the river. Immediately that her
Majesty, with Prince Albert, and their suite got on
board they sought shelter from the storm in the cabin,
from the windows of which Prince Albert acknow-
ledged 'the cheers with which they were greeted by
the persons on board the different vessels as they
passed. The Royal George was preceded by the Light-
ning steamer, Lieut. G. Snell, which cleared the
way for the progress of the Royal fleet, also the
Shearwatere Captain Wmhington, the Fearless
(steamer), Captain P. tuilock, anol4 RhaAamanthus
Lieut. T. Laen, brought up the rear. As the Royal
fleet passed down the river, royal salutes were fired
'from the barracks and from the arsenal, as well as
from. the Dockyard. The proprietor of. Roph's wharf
showed his respect to her Majesty, by causing a
battery of six small guns to be erected on the landing
place of the wharf, and saluting the IloyaLyacht as
passed down the river. The other vessels men-

tioried in another part of The Sun, as being ordered
to accompany her Majesty on her voyage, will with the
exception of the Salamander, detained at Woolwich

in consequence of an accident happening to one of her
paddle-wheels, join the Royal George at the Nore,
where the Royal fleet will be saluted by. the Camper.•
down, flag ship. The yachts in .commission belonging
to the Royal Yacht Squadron, will likewise join her
Majesty at the Nore.
Her Majesty, with Prince Albert and their suite,
arrived at ' Woolwich shortly before seven o'clock in
three carriages, attended by a guard of honour from
Prince Albert's own regiment of Hussars. On their
arrival at the dockyard the Royal party were received
by the Earl of Haddington, Sir George Cockburn,
and the other Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty
in attendance, and accompanied by his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Cambridge, proceeded at once to
' the place of embarkation. A flooring was laid across
the grand parade, which, was covered with scarlet
cloth. The ground was kept by the Marines ; the
Cadets of the Royal Military Academy were
likewise in attendance in the dockyard. Orders
had been issued in the early part of the week, that
previous to, and during the embarkation of her Ma-
jesty, lib one should be admitted • into the Dock-yard
but officers in full uniform, and these orders were

most rigidly enforced. Her AkieSty embarked from
the dock-yard steps, on board the Admiralty barge,
the crew of which were dressed in their state liveries,
and was by them rowed on board the Royal George,
a distance not exceeding 300 yards.. Her Majesty
cheered on leaving.the shore. and again on
Errivin:x at the Her -.1-2,iestv- up
mtemmudation !adder from the bargt to th2l-1.0...-al

C4eorge.- on board. ;• 12i:_;11,,,he Was receis ed b 2. Captain
Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence anl'his officers. His
Lordship, • who had slept at the' dock-yard, went on
board this morning about five o'clock. Shortly after
her Alajesty's embarkation the rain ceased, the sky
cleared, the sun•shone out, and the weather became
altogether as bright as the early part 'of the morning
had been
.lowering, so that there is every prospect
that the sincere wishes of her Majesty's loyal subjects,
that she may have a pleasant and prosperous voyage,
will be fully gratified.
(FROM A CORRESPONDET.)
Among the Noblemen and Officers present in the
Dockyard were—
Earl Delawarr, Lord Chamberlain ; Lord jcvsev,
Master of the Horse ; Earl of Liverpool, Lord
Steward ; Lord Itaddington;. Sir :Robert Stopford
Sir George Cockburn ; Lord Bloomfield, Superinten-
ding Governor of the Arsenal ; Col. Sir Ilugh Ross ;
Sir - George Hoste,
Commandant of the Engineers ;
Colonels Dyneley, Lacy, nundas, llacbean, &c.,,c.,. of
the Royal Horse Artillery.
Sir Francis Collyer and Sir George Cockburn un-
dertook the active superintendence of the arrange-
ments, in which they were ably assisted by ..11r.
Oliver Lang, Master-shipwright of the dockyard.
Precisely at half-past six o'clock, the Duke of
Cambridge arrived, and was received by Lord Bloom-
field and Earl nelawarr. lie remained for some
minutes in conversation with the military officers in
attendance. •

At fifteen minutes to ;even an orderly of the
gallopped into the ytrd with the intimation

that her Majesty was close at hand, and immediately
after the Royal carriage was seen to approach.
The Royal suite consisted of three carriages. In the
first rode her Majesty and Prince Albert ; in the
second the Duchess of Norfolk and Miss Matilda
Paget (the ladies in waiting on the Queen), with
Colonel Bouverie ; in the third were Captain Meynell,
Colonel 11rylde, and Mr. Anson, the attendant
equerries on duty. The Royal carriage drove up close
to the stairs, which were covered with green baize,
and on her Majesty alighting she was received by her
Royal relative and Lord Jersey. Her Majesty was
dressed in blue satin, over which she wore a white
figured cachmere shawl. A white bonnet, trimmed
with roses, completed her attire. His Royal Highness
wore the undress of his regiment, with a military
cloak thrown over his shoulder.

Notwithstanding the early hour (five o'clock) at
which the Royal party left Windsor, both the Queen
and her august Consort looked remarkably well. On
walking down the steps, the Duke of Cambridge held
the right hand of her Majesty, and just before ketting
her foot in the barge, the Queen paused, and his Royal
Highness said, under much emotion, " God bless you;
I wish you every human happiness," affectionately
embracing his Royal niece at the same time. The
word of command was now given by Sir Frances
Collier, who himself steered the Admiralty boat, and
the oars dashed through the water towards the Royal
yacht, amid the deafening cheers of all those assembled
to witness the spirit-stirring scene.
The Earl of Liverpool, as Lord Steward,- accom-
panied her Majesty, and with Sir James Clark, her
Majesty's physician, is on board the Shearwater. Dr.
Reid is in the Royal yacht for the purpose of superin-
tending his ventilating apparatus. The -Duke of
Cambridge, Earl .Delawarr, Lord Jersey, and a large
party of military and naval officers, breakfasted with
Lord Bloomfield after her Majesty's departure.

BER MAJESTY AT THE NORE.
(BY EXPRESS.)

City of Boulogne Steamer, Half-past Two.
The general expectation that her MAJESTY would
depart for Scotland this morning, excited a good deal
of interest at Boulogne yesterday afternoon, and
numbers took advantage of the time appointed for
the sailing of that favourite boat, the City ofßoulogne,
Captain TUNE, which left Boulogne at three o'clock
this morning. The rain poured down in torrents,
yet upwards of one hundred passengers came on
board, trusting to better weather. And so it proved.
The dawn ushered in a beautiful morning, and every
heart was glad that her MAJESTY would enjoy a fine
passage. It was now near ten o'clock, and the Cam-
perdown, three-decker, towered majestically above the
other ships and vessels at the Nore. The flag ship
was gay as the morning, with a profusion of
flags flying from stem to stern, right over the

mast heads ; the camperdown, was alone in her
glory, for the Pique and Daphne, which accom-
pany her MAJESTY, lay quietly at anchor waiting the
arrival of the Royal squadron.

As the City of Boulogne neared the flag-ship, Cap-
tain TUNE passed under her stern in slap-dash style,
and fired a gun—the steamer, dressed off as gaily as
the Camperdown, with all the colours of the rain-
bow flying aloft and along the rigging, &c.
It was a beautiful sight, and the officers of the Cam-
perdown, as well as a number of military officers of
rank from Sheerness, seemed to onjoy the scene. The
crew of the Camperdown were all in white, waiting to
man yards on the arrival of the QUEEN.
At a quarter past ten a steamer was descried in ad-
vance of the Royal squadron, and far in the distance
a dense cloud of smoke betokened the advent of her
MAJESTY. Indeed, .so dense was the smoke
that it was half-past ten before we could distinguish
anything distinctly ; presently the cloud cleared away,
and ushered the Royal standard to the admiring gaze
of a thousand loyal hearts. It was a stirring sight,
eight or ten steamers, and other vessels, under a press
of sail, bearing down towards the sea, with colours
flying, and all in happy cheer.
At a quarter to eleven, we came up with the Royal
squadron, off Leigh, the Royal George yacht, towed
by two steamers, " walking the waters like a thing of
life," in towering majesty and singular beauty, as
contrasted with the surrounding steamers, blowing
their clouds of loyalty in streaming profusion.

The scene at this moment was exceedingly pictu-
resque ; there was upwards of a hundred sail of vessels
in full view, decked off "in their best," of flag, and sail,
and smoke ; nor was the coast on either shore wanting
in expressions of gladness—for hamlet, tower, and
beacon, Coast Guard station, fishing-boat and all, vied
with each other in general demonstrations of loyalty
and zeal.

The City of Boulogne was now abeam of the Royal
yacht, when Captain TUNE, with his accustomed
loyalty, saluted her MAJESTY with twenty-one guns—
and one gun more for the Prince of IVALES and the Prin-
cess Royal—amid the enthusiastic cheers of all on
board, and the unexpected but welcome surprise of
the Royal squadron.

The City of Boulogne hove to as the Royal squadron
passed in gallant style. The Royal yacht was towed
by two steamers— on her starboard bow lay the Wa-
terman No. 1; a-beam the Pearl ; and the Ariel on
her starboard quarter. On her larboard beam
lay the General Steam Navigation's splendid steamer
Trident, and several other steamers, all crowded with
passengers, exulting in the general enthusiasm.

Her MAJESTY did not appear on deck, probably
owing to the constant cloud of smoke issuing from all
the steamers ; and the wind being right a-head it
blew all over the Royal yacht, but this annoyance
would cease on passing the Nore, for the wind would
then be abaft the beam, and quite favourable for the
voyage.

About half-past eleven the Royal squadron reached
the Nore--when the scene was still more grand
and imposing, amid the salutes of the Camperdown,
Pique, and Daphne, with their yards manned in tru e
English fashion and hearty enthusiasm.

For the, Red Boat at the Nore
Never witnessed such before

We are indebted to the politeness of Captain TUNE,
and his excellent steamer, the City of Boulogne, for
being able to give this rapid account of a scene so in-
teresting to all our readers. Indeed, since her new
refit, the City is now a very commodious, fast, and
very general favourite with the public, both here and
at Boulogne.

" Telegraph-office, Aug. 29,1842.
" The following was received through Watson's
Telegraph this morning:—

" The Royal squadron, with her Majesty, his Royal
Highness Prince Albert, and suite, was off the Nore
Light at 11 o'clock this morning. Her Majesty's
yacht, Royal George, in tow by two steamers.
The Royal Squadron was received at the Nore by
a Royal salute from her Majesty's ship Camperdown,
(Admiral Sir Edw. Brace, C. 8.) The Pique frigate,
and the Daphne, and other vessels; with their yard
manned. A great number of yachts, steamers, and
boats of all descriptions, were assembled to see her
Majesty pass. The scene is described as being most
animated. The wind from the eastward, light breeze,
and fine.

The Royal squadron, in passing her Majesty's
Yacht, communicated with Watson's Telegraph Sta;-
tion there, and reported " All's well," at half-past
twelve. Her Majesty's ships Pique and Daphne
were still at anehor off the Nore Light.
The Royal squadron passed Herne- Bal. at half-
past twelN e.

6-eneral Steam igdtion ve6sel
the Ocean, J. C. East, from Rotterdnn, arrived off the
Custom-house yesterday with the 'Dutch mail. Also,
the Caledonia, H. Cheeseman, from HambUrgh, arrived
off the .lower
this morning, with the Hamburgh mail.
PRICE Or BREAD In DUELIN.—The monstrous
i
imposition practised on the public in upholding the high
price of bread, nob thstanding the imtnense reduction
in the rates of flour, is at letigth taken up here by the
Press. The Mercantile Advertiser of this evening re-
marks—" According to the market note struck this after-
noon, there will be a reduction of One halfpenny in the
41b. loaf next week ; the price of bread .of the first
quality is to be 8 id., and of the second ;id. the 41b. loaf,
But this trifling reduction, thus tardily conceded, is not
half what the public are fully entitled to. We learn
froM a Correspondent that the Board of the South
Dublin Poor-law Union yesterday completed a contract
for the supply of bread of the best second quality at the

Near Orilla, says a letter from Murcia, is a foun-
tain of salt water, which the poor inhabitants employtd
tOr various daily uses, such as making bread and cook-
ing vegetables. Some individuals, having all at once
thought of turning it t.) account as a salt-pit, flung in
some poisonous herbs, to prevent the inhabitants from.
soaking use of it any longer. They, being ignorant of
what had been done, used the water as usual, and are
now in a dreadful state, for a malignant fever has seized
on the population, and the flocks have been decimated
from drinking at the spring.
