Exchequer," and so forth. 'too much to ex-
pect that Mr, Huskisson did so address his 11,1a-
jesty ! By no means. We have not a doubt
that the Right Hon. Gentleman put the Times
in his pocket, and learned his speech by heart,
between London and Windsor. There is no
joke in all this, at least as far as the Times is
concerned; for having written Mr. Huskisson's
speech, it adds, in sober earnest—

"This is language which it becomes Mr. Iluskisson to hold
to the Sovereign whom he is sworn to advise, whether he re-
gards himself as a friend to the spirit of the Constitution—
to the King's good name—to Mr. Canning's memory—to
Mr. Canning's policy—to freedom every where—to com-
merce and civilization every where—or to tire rights, the
interests, and the glory of Great Britain" ! ! !
There is no vacancy for a trumpeter at the
office of our contemporary, whatever other va-
cancies may supposed to discover themselves.—
What ineffable coxcombry there is in such so-
lemn nonsense !—New Times.

There was what the sporting people, in their
irreverent way of talking, would call a regular
set-to between the Bench and the Bar, at Bris-
tol, on Tuesday. Chief Justice Best happened
to make a remark on the evidence for the pro-
secution, in a case of no great importance, which
was construed by Mr. Sergeant Wilde into the
expression of a decided opinion on the merits
of a case which had been but half heard, and
rather unceremoniously resented by him. The
Judge apologized, but the Counsel continued
dogged—the angry feeling in the pleader in-
fected the Court, and a series of observa-
tions, replies, and rejoinders succeeded, not
much calculated to increase the respect of
the auditors for either. Such, at least, appears
to have been the case from the report that
has reached us. We are sorry for it, both on
general principles, and from a sincere respect to
the parties. Chief Justice Best is one of the
most eloquent and impressive speakers on the
Bench ; and he is, besides, a sound and able
lawyer. He has -indeed, but one failing, and
that arises, if we may so express ourselves, out
of his morbid intellectual acuteness. He secs,
for the most part, the bearings of a case at a glance,
by that kind of intuitive perception, which the
French denominate the coup d' mil. He is thus
tempted to jump to his conclusion more
rapidly than slower men can follow, who may
be excused for supposing that to be rash,
the foundations of which they do not perceive.
In sonic complicated cases he may, perhaps, be
what he appears,--a little hasty, though these are
cases of very rare occurrence. , To this, which,
though we have termed it a failing, does hardly
deserve so strong a name, he adds all openness
of expression that sometimes gives offence where
none was thought of. We fear that both are
now too deeply seated ever to be eradicated, but
they are not the less to be regretted, for nothing
can be more injurious to the dignity of the law,
and the veneration due to its Ministers, than to
find those who ought to be wholly taken up in
settling the disputes of the public quarrelling
with each other.—lbid.

ROYAL CAMP AT ST. OMER.

EXTRACT OF A LITTER. FROM ST OMER, AUG. 27.

The preparations now making at this place,
and in the neighbourhood, to receive his Ma-
jesty Charles X. and the Royal Family, the
Prince of Orange, the Duke of Wellington, and
many other distinguished foreigners, are of the
most brilliant description. His Majesty will
occupy the Maison de Vile, and most of the
houses in the town are engage-d for the different
individuals attached to the Court ; in fact, every
bed is engaged for the 9th, on which occasion
his Majesty will review at least sixteen thousand
troops, cavalry and infantry ; the cavalry are
cantoned in the villages adjacent, and the in-
fantry are encamped upon the summit of an im-
mense plain or heath, about four miles from this,
The encampment may cover an extent of about
two miles in length, and about a thousand feet
in width ; the whole ranged in parallel lines, and
distributed according to the number of regiments
which occupy them. The utmost pains have
been taken to decorate them with trophies and
altars, and loyal effusions cut out of chalk, and
each tent having its little garden and entrench-
ments very prettily laid out. The arms are piled
up in little tents at regular distances in front of the
line. The artillery, consisting of about 20 pieces,
with their tumbrels, &c. occupy the centre ; and
far in advance of the centre of the line, a
neat chapel has been erected upon a raised plat-
form, covered with a canopy. The approaches
to the chapel are likewise decorated with mili-
tary trophies. Yesterday being Sunday, we
visited the encampment in time to witness the
ceremony of mass. The different regiments
formed in front of their quarters, and marched
from thence with their bands playing to the dif-
ferent positions assigned to them. The move-
ments were so rapid, that in ten minutes at least
nine thousand men were drawn up. in a grand
square round the chapel. The music and cho-
risters close to the chapel, and the Generals and
other Officers on the raised platform : the whole
commanded by Count Curial. The magnifi-
cence of the square, the simultaneous kneeling
of the troops on administering the Sacrament,
and the solemn sounds of the music, all con-
t another they

ma marched off Mass
to being
ako concluded,up
of a platform erected for the King, and here
forming into a square of about seven hundred
feet every way, an exhibition, or rather rehearsal,
took place, of fencing, cudgelling, dancing, rac-
ing, and marching on stilts, to the great delight
of the soldiers and a numerous assemblage of
spectators, and thus concluded one of the most
magnificent spectacles it is possible to imagine.
The position of the ground is admirably calcu-
lated for the purpose, and when all the ma-
noeuvres, such as storming of the entrenchments,
taking of the artillery, &c., are gone through, as
are expected, on the 9th, the sight cannot fail to
be of the most gratifying description.

AWFUL INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATH.—
Yesterday afternoon a man was observed sitting
under a clump of trees on the north side of the
Canal in St. James's Park, when he suddenly
fell backwards, and remained motionless. Grist,
one of the Bow-street patrole, and some other
persons who were looking at the improvements
in the Park, instantly went to the spot, thinking
something was the matter with the man, when
they found him quite dead. A medical gentle-
man, who chanced to be on the spot, declared,
that, from the appearance of the poor man, be
had no doubt but he had died from want. He
had the appearance of being a corn porter. No-
thing was found on his person but a knife and
comb. He was conveyed to St. Martin's
workhouse, where the body awaits a Coroner's
Inquest.
