The 'numerous visitors who have been staving

The Marquis and Marchioness de. Palinella,
the Marquis de Rezende, Chamberlain to the Emperor
Don Pedro, an.l late Ambassador from the Emperor at
the Court of Vienna, and Viscount Itabayana, the Bra-
zilian Minister, left town at ten o'clock on Saturday
morning for Staines, where they arrived about twelve
o'clock. The party was here met by the young Queen
of Portugal, accompanied by her guardian, the Marquis
de Barbacena, and her ladies in waiting. The whole
party proceeded to the residence of the Duke and Duchess
of Glocester, in Bagshot Park, to pay a visit to their Royal
Highnesses. The Duke; attended by his Equerry in •Wait
ing, and the Duchess, attended by her Ladies in Waiting,
received the young Queen on her arrival, and conducted
her over their mansion and round the pleasure-grounds at-
tached to their. residence. On their return to the house
the whole party sat down to a very elegant dejerote, at two
o'clock; the pages of their Royal Highnesses were in at-
tendance. The young Queen remained at Bagshot till
past three o'clock, when her Majesty and party took their
leave; the young Queen and her suite returning to Lale-
ham, and the Marquis and Marchioness de Palmella, the
Muquis de Rezende, and Viscount Itabayana, to the resi-
dence of the Marquis and Marchioness de Palmella in
town, with whom the Marquis de Rezende and VisConnt
Itabayana dined and spent the evening.

ing in the private chapel attached to the apartments of the

Alajor-General Bourke, C. 8., (late Lieut.-
Governor of the eastern district of the -Cape of Good
Hope) has arrived in town, and had ao interview on Satur-
day with Sir George Murray, •at the Colonial Office,
Downing-street.

The gates of the enclosure in
.St. James's
Park were opened on Saturday. morning, and all persons
respectably dressed admitted to promenade in the walks.
The public will be admitted into the enclosure every day
till tour o'clock, when the gates will be closed.
LORD A NGLESEA .—Nothing new relative to
this revered Nobleman, or the anomalous and frightful
state of the affairs of this wretched country, was elicited
yesterday. It is said that the letter of recall was despatch-
ed from London on Sunday, and there was, we are told,
on the announcement of the contemplated change, a gruel
meeting of Brunswickers at Moleswortb•street, and the
following we take to be an anticipation of the manifesto
which is, we suppose, to be speedily published to the people
of Ireland. It appeared in last night's Mail :—" The Pro-
testants of Ireland are of course rejoiced at the prompt and
vigbrous measures adopted by the Duke of Wellington ;
and although we are free to admit, that the removal of Loid
Anglesea from Ireland will be a considerable lose to the
trading and mantifaetuting portion of the citizens of Dub-.
lin, yet we cannot feel other than proud that Popery has
received so mortal a stab, and its supporters so signal an
overthrow."—Dublin Morning Register, of Saturday.
The Marquis of Hertford's health is so far
restored as to enable him to visit the Smith of France,
where he intends to remain until the meeting of Parlia-
ment. Lord Yarmouth, the Marquis's eldest son, is, we
believe, with his mother in Faris.

On Friday last the birth-day of the heir of
Holkham was celebrated at the Hall with all the true
British hospitality which this joyous season, and the occa-
sion in particular, were calculated to promote. At this
port the usual demonstrations of respect were paid to our
illustrious neighbour, to whose attentions and liberality
we have been often and deeply indebted. The bells
rang merrily during the day, the ships in the harbour
displayed their gayest banners, and a salute of twenty-one
cannon " rolled its thunders far and near." In the even-
ing a numerous and distinguished party dined together at
the Hall ; among them we noticed his Royal Highness
the Duke of Sussex, Countess Rosebery, Ladies Andover,
Digby, Anson, and H. Primrose, Hon. Miss Anson, Miss
Graves, Miss goon), Earl Rosebery, Admiral Digby, Cap-
tain St. John Pechell, J. Bloom, Esq. &e. &c. The ur-
banity and condescension of his Royal Highness the Duke
of Sussex were never more pleasingly displayed than in
the hearty zeal with which he endeavoured to promote the
hilarity and enjoyment of his young friends., The dance
which took place in the course of the evening was led off
by himself and Lady Anne Coke, followed by Lady Rose-
bery and Mr. Coke, and the general .festivity was pro-
longed to .a late hour. The whole scene was worthy the
golden days of old English hospitality..—Norwich Men

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BO W. ST R E ET.

t On Sattu day Mr% Nirilks; the bookseller, off'
Chan-
•cery-lane, came to this ounce. to complain of a report
• published in the Zines of that morning of a con-
versation alleged to have taken place in private on
Friday between Sir Richard Birnie and Mr. Ferstau-
deg, in which conversation the name of Mr. Wilks
had been introduced.

• Mr. Wilks having stated to'Mr. HALLS the object
of his coming, the magistrate told him that he had come
to the' wrong place to seek redress, as he (Mr. Halls)
was not answerable for any observations which Sir
Richard Birnie might have made, nor for what the
Times thought fit to publish. .: •
Mr." Wilks then retired, finding that Mr. Flails
would not undertake his application, and that he
must apply to the Chief Magistrate. -
George IVood Was brought rip for re-examination
-On a charge 'of horse-stealing.
. r
Mr. Turtle, a butcher, residing in Tottenham-
court-road,. stated that about six months age a horse
had been stolen from him, and that two men, named
Roe and Finch, had been tried for tire offence at the
Old Bailey in September, When the latter was ac-
quitted, but the former was convicted and sentenced
to death, which sentence was afterwards commuted
to transportation for life. This man had made a
confession in the presence of Browo, the turnkey, in
which he stated that a person not in custody, but for
whom the officers are on the 100k-out, had planned
several robberies of thesame description in the neigh-
bourhoOds of Primrose-hill and. Camden-town,
which, however, he (Roe) declined to engage- in,
as " they would bring the hemp too near his chin."
The'corMniion went on to state, that the same man
contrived the robbery of Mr. Turtle's horse; that
the horse was taken away by him and Finch, and de-
livered by them to the prisoner, who rode off with it
in the direction of Hampstead, promising to return
the'bridle and Saddle, together with the money pro-
duced by .the sale of the horse (which was to be in-
serted in the lining of the saddle) oil the following
Tuesday or Wednesday. The confession concluded
by a description of the prisoner Wood, anti the con-
triver of the robberies.
Mr. HALLS recommended that Finch should be
applied to, and added, he had just received a letter
from a Magistrate, stating that the prisoner had
stolen a horse from tl neighbourhood of Hendon,
and requesting that he might be remanded until Wed-
nesday, which was done accordingly.
