the Palace of Neuilly on Sunday morning. The KING
received her at the carriage in his arms ; the poor deso-
late-hearted QUEEN bathed her in tears, and the afflicted
family, in the presence of their attendants, wept
aloud !
Respect for the 'deep sorrow of the Royal
Family, made
all who were near them withdraw, so that
there were other witnesses of the afflicting spectacle of
their first' interview. The Duke of NEMOURS be
fore lee,ving Nancy, forwarded a despatch to
General BAUDRAND at Plombieres, where the
Dtre`hess was, containing the words, " The Duke
ORLEANS has died at Paris." This dispatch arrived at
Plombieres on Thursday. The Duchess had just re-
turned front a long walk, and was dressing for dinner. To
cor_tmunitate the whole truth the General felt would
fJe too terrible. Accordingly, in concert with the Prefect,
he prepared a despatch stating, not that the Duke was
dead, but that he was seriously ill. This was comma-
r.lcated to the Duchess who was greatly. shocked.
Though she had invited a party to dine with
her, she resolved to set out instantly for Paris,
saying as she stepped into the carriage, " I know that
the Duke will scold me, but no matter, I am resolved."
We quote the account of the Duchess's journey .to Paris,
from the Journal des Debats of Monday:—
Some leagues beyond Epiral, during the night, the carriage
was suddenly stopped, on meeting that in which M. Bertin de
Veaux and M. Chomel were going to Plombieres. The latter
went up to the door of the Princess's carriage, who instantly
got out. " What news ?" said she, trembling all over. "is
he w orse ?" M. Chomel had not courage to answer, be is
dead. " I understand you," said the Princess, with an
agonising cry, and it seemed as if she would sink under
the weight of her misfortunes. A long and terrible crisis
followed. After having said, that she understood the Princess
would not believe the reality of so dreadful a catastrophe.
" No," said she, " it is not possible; you are mistaken, he
is not dead ; we shall find him; I shall see him again."
This scene of grief, which the darkness of the night rendered
still more solemn, continued a long time : the Princess was re-
placed in her carrirge, and ordered it to proceed with all speed;
she wished to arrive in time, she said, " to see again after
death, him whom Heaven had condemned her never more to
see alive."
At Mirecourt, her Royal Highness met her sisters the
Duchess of Nemours and the Princess Clementine, who came
to meet her, and had already passed two nights, she got into
their carriage and proceeded to Paris without stopping an instant.
On arriving at Neuilly, after having been received by their
Majesties, she asked for her children, who were brought to
her, whom she pressed to her bosom, bathing them with tears.
Her Royal Highness was then at that time in the Palace.
General Marbot, the Duke of Elchingen, Dr. Pasquier, M. de
Boismiton, and M. Asseline were successively introduced to
her. The Princess also received the Duchess of Elchingen.
In the evening the Duchess desired to dine with their Ma-
jesties and the Royal family.
The health of the Princess does not appear to be seriously
shaken by the dreadful trial which she has just undergone.
After an interval of heart-rending grief, of which those who
witnessed, cannot speak without tears, the Duchess of Orleans
regained the composure, the courage, and the resignation which
strong minds oppose to the blows of misfortune. The widow
of the Prince Royal remembers that sbe is the mother of the
Connt de Paris, the adopted daughter of our King, dear to the
country which has in her the union of rarest qualities of the
mind and the heart ; she knows the great duties
incumbent on her as a mother, and prepares her-
self for them in the midst of this overwhelming sorrow.
The Duchess of Orleans was worthy to sit on a throne by the
side of the Prince whom France deplores with such afflicting
unanimity ; she will erove herself worthy of such a husband, by
teaching her sons to imitate such a father.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS

PARIS, JULY 18.

M. Thiers having returned to Paris, his journal, the li
.C6nstitutionnel, speaks its opinion upon the Regency. It
says.that Cassimir Perrier, abut to organise the Peer-
age, called and consulted the influential men of all par-
ties previous to drawing up the law, and did not follow
his own opinion on the subject. On the subject of who
should 13.:: Regent, this journal says it will suspend its
opinion. Meantime the law has been drawn up, giving
the Regency to the Due de Nemours, and, in default, to
his trothers in L,uccession. The guardianship and tute-
lage of the Princes are given to the Duchess of Orleans.
It is not yet decided Nvhether the majority of the
Princes will be fixed at 'lB or' 21 years.
The late Duke, in his will, exhorts his brothers and
his own family to concord, and to implicit obedience to,
and confidence in, the will and wisdom of the King.

Belgium is adopting the French prohibitory duty on
English thread, has taken off one-third cf the consump-
tion duty on French wines, and diminishes that on salt,
but it leaves French silks as they were ; and France
leaves the duty undiminished on Belgian iron.

THE " POST " VERSUS EDUCATION.—The Morning
Post, whose misfortune it is to be pleased with nothing
that is said or done, whether by Whig Or Tory, is quite
horrified at the idea of the people becoming more • en-
lightened than they at present are, and finds grievous
fault with the Government for attempting to illu-
minate them, adding, • "the liberal scheme of edu-
cation which the Conservative Cabinet seems, most
unfortunately, inclined to adopt, is essentially
revolutionary."—The scheme is certainly revolutionary ;
but it is revolutionary only of the ignorance and bigotry
that has hitherto prevailed among a vast mass of the
community. Its obvious tendency is to substitute light for
darkness—hope for despair ; to teach the People to discri-
minate between their benefactors and their oppressors ; to
elevate them in the scale of humanity; and to place them on
a high vantage ground, whence they may get sight of the
right track, and steadily, fearlessly, and unitedly pursue
it. In this sense the educational scheme of Government
is unquestionably revolutionary—that is to say, it tends
to expose and subvert the old-fashioned, one-sided views
of legislation so long acted on, for mere party pur-
poses, by the Tories, and to introduce other and wore
enlarged ones in their steal. This is its cardinal blemish
in the eyes of our Contemporary. Aware of the rotten-
ness of the system which he advocates, and that it thrives
best in darkness, he is naturally indignant at the idea
of the light being let in upon it. But the people
must be educated. Granted ; but then, adds the
Post, let their education take the same direction that it
took in the dear, old, ever-to-be- venerated days of high
Toryism ! Let them be taught to revere the divinity
of-tithes ; to swallow, at one unhesitating gulp, the
Thirty-nine Articles ; to believe in the apostolic self-
denial of the Bishops, and the selfish cupidity
of the Dissenters ; to rest contented with the
crumbs of comfort thrown to them from time to
time by the Monopolists; to look upon Tory Magistrates
as infallible, and on Tory policy as the, perfection of
wisdom ; to respect the dignified antiquity of jobs and
sinecures ; and to regard Reform, in all its forms and
phases, as an invention of the Evil One ;—let. the People
be educated in this manner ; be taught to advocate those
notions, as the only sound ones in religion and peliries
and then, argues the Post, England will again be, what
she was in the days of the Ekions, the Sidmouths, and
the Castlereaghs, the:‘ envy and wonder of all surround-
ing nations ! " Alas, the country cannot go backand
would not, if it could—to these times ;. it must obey the
general law of progression, • and move forward, even
though it leave our Contemporary, like some feeble old
woman; halting on crutches in the rear.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY).
COLONIAL MARKET.

There was a strong business done in most kinds of Colonial
produce, but no change of moment occurred in prices.
TEA Al A It KET.

The large public sale of Tea has been brought to a close.
More spirit was experienced in the biddings, and prices were
rather firmer ; indeed, Congou was about Id. per lb. higher
than at the last public sales. Altogether, the market exhibits
a firmer tone ; but, in consquence of further parcels being de.
dared for public sale, there is not much inclination to make
purchases by private contract.
TALLOW MARKET.
The price of this article continues just nominal at 48s. on
the spot, and at 495. for future delivery.
SPIRIT MARKET.
The price of Rum was not quite so much depressed as last
weep!, and there was more inquiry for the article, but no sales
of magnitude were made. Proof Leewards 2s. Id. per gall. ;
Fine Jamaica in demand for the home trade at ss. to bs. Bd.
per gall. Brandy very dull, and prices nominal. Geneva went
off slowly at Is. 11d. to 2s. per gallon.
