AURORA 130WALIS.

This metropolis was surprised at about eleven
o'clock last night, by a splendid display of
northern lights, .which 'but very seldom stray so
far to the South. The last which we beheld in
London, were in the Autumn of 1804, about
the end of September or -the beginning. of
October, and the fancied prodigy filled all the
superstitious heads at the time with fearful prog-
nostics, and loosened the tongues of nearly a
hundred prophets. The spectacle then was truly
magnificent. A. broad arch of blood-red light
spanned the Heavens, and remained stationary for
auficur,or two, like the bridge of spirits. Both
edges then spread, and grew fainter, till as they
widenedthe deep red vanished, and the 'Sky -be-
came a moving sea of snowy effulgence,
contracting, flashing, and expanding, till the
rising sun swallowed up and drowned the whole
in its superior lustre. Last night we did not
witness the beginning of the phenomenon, but
we Understand 1114 the Northern parts of the
Heavens displayed, about eleven o'clock, so
ruddy a blaze, as to appear like the reflection of
a mighty conflagration. When we observed the
sky an hour later, we found that the red hue Was
gone, but the whole horizon, in 'a Circular direc-
tion, from the North to the East, was lined With
a thin cloud, or condensed mist, from which
waves of snowy light rolled up to the empyrean,
of sudden rays flashed up, and as suddenly

small clouds broken into fantastic shapes slowly
floated, or. rather were suspended in the North-
east portion of the Heavens, but evidently !Oliver
than the region of the fluid, for they remained
dark while it spread and brightened above them.
The rest, of the sky was clear, and the piercing
lustre of the stars flashed vividly through the
snowy veil, which the Spiirtive and ever shifting
light' flung and unrolled beneath them.

WILKIE, THE PAINTER.

A gentleman; who a few days since arrived
from the Continent, left this celebrated Artist at
Geneva, where his health was greatly advanced.
He had visited Munich, Vienna, Dresden, and
Prague, and was every where well received. At
Geneva he was visited by the Duke of GORDON,
Lord MOIRA, Lady CooTE, and other English
persons of virtu who were in that town. His
productions are in high estimation on the Con-
tinent ; 'and as an instance it may be mentioned,
that an agent from Mr. PEEL attended at the
sale of the property belonging to the late King
of BAVARIA, and offered 1,1001. for The Read-
ing of the Will, but it was bought in for a much
larger sum on behalf of the present Sovereign.
1 The Artist had finished anti sent, home one pic-
ture. He had nearly completed another, repre-
senting the Princess DORIA performing the re-
ligious ceremony of washing the feet of the
female pilgrims during the Jubilee at Rome.
The scene contains five other figures, beside that
of the Princess DOR lA, and ampngst
which was noticed by several Of
visitors as a remarkably striking, though, as the
the them
English
one,lish
Artist stated, perfectly accidental, likeness of the
Duchess of ST. ALBAN'S, in her more youthful
days, when Miss MELLON. He had also made
a very spirited sketch of the scene between BO-
NAPARTE and Pope Pius, when the EMPEROR
commanded the Pontiff to sign the divorce of
JOSEPHINE. It was observed by the Artist,
that he had been remarkably unsuccessful in his
search of the humorous, and had not seen a
single trait worth committing to canvass. In
fact, he was decidedly of opinion, that no where
does it so abound as in Great Britain, where his
friends expect him shortly to return.

The Earl of Egremont's mansion at Pet-
Worth has been for the last few weeks a scene of
noble hospitality. Among the distinguished
auests have been Sir Charles and Lady Burrell
and family, Mr. Walter Burrell, M.P.; Lord
and Lady John
Townsliend and family, and the
celebrated painters Sir Win. Beechy and Mr.
Leslie. several more guests are also expected
during the shooting

BEET-ROOT SUGAR.

At the dinner given by the city of Amiens to
the King, opposite his Majesty was placed an
immense column of beet-root sugar, manufactured
by NI. Hector Ledru, at Franvillers, near Amiens.
This column, we are informed, particularly
struck his Majesty. It was composed of beet-
root sugar, of four different qualities, and crys-
tals of raw sugar form'ed the pedestal. At the
four colliers were placed, by way of boundary,
four candied beet-roots. M. Ledru, who esta-
blished the'inanufactory at Franvillers, and who
intends shortly to establish another, was presen-
ted to his Majesty, who deigned to encourage
him, and examined and ordered to' be taken
with him, by way of trip', a loaf of the sugar,
whose whiteness and fineness prove the progress
made by thelnanufacture, to which the'still high
price of Colonial sugar oilers great encourage=
ment.—Journal des Debats.

to resist the claims of the Allies, in the friend-
ship and co-operation of the Emperor. Prussia,
it is observed, which has as much reason for
dreading the power, of Russia in" the north;
as Austria ha in the south, would they think
doubtless join the cause of the latter ; and
France, threatened in the north by Prus-
sia, and - entangled in the south by her en-
gagements with Spain, might very easily
be reduced to a state of neutrality. Russia
again, though powerful in appearance, is weak
in reality, from the want of what has been justly
denominated the sinews of war. She can nei-

tiler commence nor carry on an arduous contest,
such as, under such circumstances, a war against
Turkey would be, without pecuniary assistance.
There is but one source from which such assis-
tance could be sought, namely, England—and
England has suffered too much from the conse-
quences of the last war to be lightly induced to
enter upon another, for objects, which, thougil
popular at the moment, would speedily cease to
be so did they lead to new taxes and impositions.
Such are the speculations to which the language
of the Austrian Journals has given rise. It is
unfortunate for the hypothesis, however, that it
rests on a foundation wholly assumed—namely,
that the Russians will, in consequence of the treaty
of 6th July, forthwith declare war against Turkey,
and that England and France will follow their ex-
ample. Even were such an event to take place, those
who already ,anticipate a general war from the
supposed interposition of Austria, ought to re-
collect that, by an attempt to drive back the
friends of the Greeks on the east, Austria would
expose much to hazard on thr west. The Alps
are not quite so difficult to be passed as they
once were ; and while Austria was supporting
the Crescent on the Pruth, it is possible that
the Lilies of France might find their way to the
plains of Italy, where its Eagles have soared
before. Nothing of all this is, however, likely to
happen. The blockade of Turkey by the com-
bined squadron will, we trust, be more than suf-
ficient to reduce the Sultan to reason, aided as
it will be by the forced, if not voluntary, neutra-
lity of the Egyptian Pacha.—New Times.

FLEET PRISON.

Mr. PEEL rose, with reference to a notice of motion
made by the Hon. Member for Aberdeen, for a Committee
to inquire into the state of the Fleet and other prisons,
which stood for this evening. He wished the Hon. Gen-
tleman would consent to postpone this motion to another
day, because he (Mr. Peel) had written to the Chief Jus-
__. . _.. . .

tice of the King's Bench, who was at present on circuit,
on the subject, and his answer had not as yet arrived.—
He wished to make one observation with reference to what
was stated to have fallen from the Honourable Member for
Aberdeen when he gave notice of this motion, The Ho-
nourable Member was reported to have said, that frequent
applications had been made to the Chief Justice of the
Court of Common Pleas, with reference to the state of
the Fleet Prison, which had not been attended to. Now
the fact was, that no such applications had been made,
either to the Chief Justice of the King's Bench or the
Common Pleas ; and it was but justice to the latter dis-
tinguished individual to say, that no application of the
kind had ever been made to him to which immediate at-
tention had not been given. He mentioned this on the
authority of the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, in
answer to the observation of the Honourable Member.
Mr. HUME had no hesitation in saying, that when the
prisoners confined in the Fleet Prison stated their complaint
to him he advised them in the first instance to apply to the
Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. They applied to the
Chief Justice accordingly, but, after waiting three or four
days, no answer was received. So far, therefore, he (Mr.
Hume) was correct in what he stated. It appeared, how-
ever,: that the day after the business was noticed in the
House, a person deputed by the Lord Chief Justice of the
Common Pleas sent a person to the prison to inquire into
the complaint of the prisoners. The only mistake, there-
fore, was with regard to time. Having given this expla-
nation, he had now no hesitation in sayinq that he should

defer hie motion, on the suggestion of the night Hon.
Gentleman to Thunday next.
Mr. PEEL said that it appeared from the statement of
the lion. Gentleman that Le had not said that the Chief
Justice of the Common Pleas was in the habit of passing
over the complaints of the prisoners confined in the prison,
over which he held control, and the Hon. Member had ad-
mitted that immediate attention had been paid to their case
when the Chief Justice was made acquainted with it. The
only difference between the statements of the Hon. Illember
was with regard to the time when the complaint was at-
tended to.

THE WAKEFIELDS.

The following document will explain more fully the allu-
sion made by Mr. Sergeant Cross, at the late trial at Lan-
caster, to a correspondence which took place between Mrs.
Bathurst (a relative of the Rev: and venerable Bishop of
Norwich, and also a friend of the Wake&lds) and Mr.
William Wakefield, the junior defendant. This document
did not appear on the trial, but its authenticity is vouched
far :

" Extract of a letter addreesed by Mrs. Bathurst to
William Wakefield, dated the 19th March, 11326, cone-
mencing with—
" My dearest little 'Willy o—Now for your brother's
marriage ; I hope the old people will forgive. Why did
you not tell us how you succeeded in your negociation,
which your brother says he left you to undertake in the
North? I have done all here he desired, but some who
knew all about are a little repugnant. Madame
to wit ; but she had, I expect, other reasons to
look a little askew at the news. The
fond de Pause blessl au vif, and —, entre noes,
scit dit, is a sort of bitter-tongued gossip, with all
his reputed good nature, very deadly in his way. How-
ever, Edward is on the right side of the hedge, for he
has the girl, and if he gets the money, let them laugh
that win. But I want to know, if when of age she has any
thing independent ? Well, as I like him, and much as I
rejoice, for more reasons than one, that he is married—
bona fide married ; and, moreover, to a young creature
whose education, mental and corporal, will occupy and at-
tach him sooner or later; yet I am fair (free) to confess, a
more audacious rape of it second Helen, no Paris ever un-
dertook. Pity his name was not John, as Jean de Paris
might have eloped with this modern Helen, and sounded
better. Little did I think, when we laughed with Miss
Davis about Miss Turner, and I desired her to get her for
you or him, that Edward would, in two or three days
time, woo, wed, and carry her off; bat he is born for odd
adventures, and certainly, had he been a General, woold
poor child should die, he will be forbidden every house
where a young girl is to be found; but I hope she will live

to couple him with riches. Of brothers and sisters, alas !
as was Nere's first expression, there will be a 'plenty, no
doubt. Yon may suppose we are
all impatience to see this
namesake of the Trojan dame. And might I trouble you
to say how your papa's love affair goes on. Yon are a
most (loyal family at the shrine of the saffron-coloured
'mantled God."
