• ,e have been highly timuStaty the prouucttan
of 'one of our cotemporaries Y'esterilay morning,
on the inhject of the Meeting 'on Monday for the
relief Of the Poor. We wish "that We could re-
publish the whole fOr the inerrithek Of our Read»
ers ; fair it is not fair that the Morning Chrottivle
should monirPolize alt .the'ritlicolous fun. " Fish
(the author say') can never be made other than
'a luxury in England, end the poor'eannat work
upon it." Such we believe to be (tile of tsti its
'general : " But what (he adds). can be done with
`the whole rate of cod, haddock, whiting, aml
mackarel, which are mere entelOpes for water P"—
this, we maintain, conveys a valuable piece of
information to the Meeting, which is, tluit the
fish contains the water, and not the water the
'fish. But what is to be done then with cod, hid-
dock, whiting,..and mackarel? Why, they are to
be thrown, " the instant they Are CtitiOlt-, intO
tanks of newly-invented stone-salt," ixtvi then
exported to tickle the delicate palates Of our friends
on the Continent. Good, truly : we suspect that
our friends' there tonal find -fish so cured " enve-
lopes" for something else besides water, and would
treat them accordingly.

But the way in which Monday's Meeting is to
manage the daughters of our labouring poor is
yet more amusing. The meeting is "to open a
" small shop for the escposure and sale of PASTRY,
".CAKP.S, PIES, •etc. where the girls may be pre-
's pared for service truly useful to themselves, us
" well as to the community !" We are actual-
ly not quizzing our readers they may rely upou
it that this specimen of domestic policy is verba-
tim wtitten down, printed, and published, In the
Morning Chronicle of yesterday. Now we appre-
hend, that the above profound recommendation
of our cotemporary of thus educating the daugh-
ters of the poor, besides being impossible (which
may easily be got over), is at once immoral and
dishonest : for look what the old poem says—

The Queen or Hearts,
She made some Tarts,
All on a summrr's day;
The Knave of Hearts
tie stole the Tarts. -
And with them ran away.
If, therefore, the Morning Chronicle wishes to have
these girls simply instructed in the art Of tart-
making, l►e must Wall 'them, we fear, to take the
qncen, of hearts' trade over her head ; which,
surely, considering time length of time that the
business has been exclusively in her Majesty's
family, would be most unfair : but if it is meant.
that the girls should " learn the arts of stealing
the tarts," axclusive of the consideration that they
are quick enough at that already,—surely the fatal
example of the knave of hearts, who, us we re-
collect, was brought to condign punishment for
his, theft, should rather deter from pursuing so fa-
tal a course.

'rite Morning Chronicle intent to resume the
snbject : in which ease, we hope to be able to de-
dicate sonic more space to the counteracting his
fatal policy : hut, in the mean time, we would.
strongly recommend to the illustrious Duke who
is to preside over the meeting, and who is himself
of royal blood, to pay the most punctual attention
to the rights and privileges of her Majesty the
Queen of hearts ; and not to sutler them to be
invaded by inconsiderate and rash attempts in the
art of tart-risking.

THE DUKE AND i)►ICHESS OF ORLEANS' ENTER*
TAINMENT 'f() TUE QUEEN.

The Qutetst did not go to the Christening of
the Duke and Duchess of OutAtANS infant Prin-
cess on Saturdpiy, we understand, owing to the
etiquette of her Majesty. not being sponsor, and
the ceremony being agree:Able to the fornm cif the
Church of Rome. The Duke and Michas in con-
sequence gave another grand entertainment on
iVednesday, far the purpose or the.honour of the
Queen's company, at their house at Twickenham.
iler Majesty accompanied by the Princess Eliza-
beth, attended by Lady 6nslow, arri% ed there
from the Queen's Palace) at • about hall-past lour
o'clock.

The dueen and Princess were received by Ole
Duke and Duchess, attended by the Duke's Se-
cretary, and the full suite of attendants in state
dresses. The arrival of the Queen of England was
annouced.by a discharge of a royal salute., from
tannont ttationed on au ;timid in the Thames op- '
posite, ;he house,. and a baud on thelaWn playing
" God save the King." Her Majest y was joined by
her own angast Vunily, the !likes of Clareuci: and
Kent; the llifchess at York and the Princet. Sophia
of Gloucester. The royll and dititingnithed as-
semblage returned to the Drawing-Room, Where
they eetnained some time. At five, dinner was an-
nounced, and the company were conducted front
the Drawing-room through the colonnade, which.
was delightfully decorated with ,growing shrubs.
and flowers, which gave it mast delightful per-
fume. They proceeded to the room which was
built by the late AdMiral Sir George Pocock for
an entertaiinent which the gallant Admiral gave
to Queen Anne.

The dinner was served tip there in a Most splen.
did and princely style. The desert consisted, of
the most choice and rare fruits.
Rey MAIIISTY and the Princess ELIZABETti left
about a quarter past eight o'clock in a travelling.
carriage fur Windsor. The QUEEN'S departure
was announced by a royal salute from the cannon,
similar to her arrival. The Hand attended during
the evening, and played on the lawn. - The nthor
branches of the Royal Family left soon after the
QUERN;

The statement of the dismissal of several work-
men from the extensive Salt Pits in Cheshire, and
of their parading the country in bodies, is utterly
unfounded. The statement that the Ituaban Miners
bail proceeded with coals to Chester) isr equally
false.—Why are inch mischievous fabrications cir-
culatoul ? is it to incite other places to riot and
disorder it is well adapted to produce that effect.
On Tuesday seinnight, a young Man of respect=
Able appearance, was taken into custody at Liver-
pool, in consequence of having offered a draft for
paytueut, Of Wbich.sdrne of the indorsements Were
discovered to be forgeries.
