TEE HAGUE, OCT. 10.—The Staats Courant con-
tains a circumstantial account of the ceremony of the
marriage of Princess Sophia, his Majesty s only
daughter, to the Hereditary Grand Duke of Saxe

Wiemar.
The first herring boat arrived at Ratayk on Thurs-
day ; it brought 24,000, caught in one day. The
usual present was sent to his Majesty. .
This morning at eleven o'clock the return thanks-
, giving, on occasion of the marrriage of Princess So-
phia, took place at the Klosterkerk. Their Majesties
the King and Queen, the new married couple, and
the other Princes and Princesses of the Royal family
were present.
FRANKFORT, OCT. 7.—We learn that the Cabniet
of the Tuileries intend shortly to, bring forward the
question of the Right of Search in a manner wholly
unexpected in London, and will therefore occasion no
little sensation. The French Government, it seems,
wishes that the treaties of 1831 and 1833, respecting
the Right of Search, shall be wholly annulled, and
that a new treaty shall be concluded, to determine that
right on a new basis. The French Ministry seems to
think it advisable to take this course, in order to be
able to make a stand against. th4i, Opposition in thg..ne.lit
session.

THE BISHOP OF CARLISLE.—On Friday last, a
poor man and his wife left Hexham by the Ne wcas tl e
and Carlisle train, and proceeded to Newcastle in
search of work. having no money to pay the fare,
the man, when at Hexham, put his watch into the
hands of the guard, as a guarantee that it would be
paid afterwards. On arriving at Newcastle, the man
accompanied the guard into the station-house, to ac-
quaint the clerk with the circumstance, and to request
that the watch might be safely kept until he returned
with the money, which was 53. The Bishop of Car-
lisle, who was in the waiting-room with some ladies,
having overheard the conversation, came forward,
paid the money, and handed the watch to the man.
His Lordship followed the poor man to the door, and
gave him an additional half-crown. But this was not
all. The ladies, who were with his Lordship, imme-
diately entered into a subscription amongst themselves,
and presented the poor man,s
wife with ten shillings.

THE GYPSIES OF THE FOREST.—This remark-

at all seasons of the year, but more particularly in the
spring and autumn. Their chief trade is in the New

Forest ponies, which n the autumn of the year are

while these

premises. The farmers consider themselves, as to
their homesteads and property, ;
but always
safe when
Gypsies are encamped near them there is a fear-
ful gang of poachers and deer and sheep-stealers all
round the New Forest, which paralyzes the confi-
dence of the farmer in the belief of himself and his
own. The Gypsies have been ever considered a dark
and mysterious community- Those who know them
and their ways, habits, and customs best, are the best
to appreciate their claim to good feeling on the part
of those who have experi▪
enced their
singular ways.
A farmer considers a Gypsy a good watch-dog whilst
the latter lingers around his premises; but a " neigh-

PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 12.—The brig tender Nautilus,
10, Lieutenant Snell, having received her crew from
the Royal George yacht, has proceeded to Liverpool
for seamen. The crew of the flag ship St. Vincent,
120, has been increased to 6_30 men, and that of the
Excellent, gunnery ship; .to 700 men. These orders
are very salutary,. and will employ large numbers of
i
sailors, ready to be drafted nto sea-going ships, if
suddenly required. The flag ships Caledonia, 120,
and Camperdown, 104, have also had their crews
augmented.—The corvette Wasp, k, =i 1 I.,ns -- been com-
missioned at Chatham by Commander Andrew Drew,
1824, who so gallantly distinguished himself during
the revolt in Canada.—As yet, no orders have arrived
to put the new sloop Frolic, 16, into commission.
