HOUSE OF LORD&-THIS DAY.

At two o'clock, the House was not constituted ; and we
are enabled to state that the Peers, being engaged other-
wise, would make a late attendance, to go through the cus-
tomary forms of being sworn.

HOUSE OF COMMONS (Tale DAY.)
There was no possibility of making a house at this hour.
Many sworn members were about ; but they would neither
enter the house, nor pay any regard to the customary
forms, till the unworn members took their stations. An
awkward mistake occurred, by the son of a Peer having in-
troduced himself into the house, not being duly qualified.
The house not having been constituted, the young gentle-
man remained in charge of the officers, when our reporter
left the house.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Owing to the strong N W. winds, we have not the ar-
rival of a single Foreign mail this morning. Conse-
quently we are without any information at present. The
private letters received yesterday from Amsterdam, state
that the King was expected there to review the troops, also
that a new Loan was to be brought forward to the amount of
60 millions of guilders. Consols, which left off yesterday
very heavy at 84 for the Account, opened at 84 to 1, went
up to 841 ;at present they are 84i to 1. The French
Mail is anxiously looked for, by which no doubt we shall
have farther accounts of the operations of the Patriots in
Spain. Spanish Stock 221. In other foreign securities
little doing.
CITY, ONE O'CLOCK.
We still remain without any arrivals; consequently we
are deprived of continental news: but we aro informed that
England, France, and Prussia, the nearest powers to Bel-
gium, are going to hold a congress, at which they will
form certain conditions for the pacification of the King of
Holland and the Belgians which writ be presented to the
Provincial Government at Brussels for their compliance in a
certain time given by tho above three powers, and at the
expiration of that period, should the Belgians not comply
the Prussian troops will immediately march into Belgium.
The Consol Market, which bad the appearance, in the
early part of the morning, of an improvement, when Con-
sols were at 84ii for the Account, have since deelirea to
841 k, at which price they are at present; the cause of the
fall is attributed to some Money Stock being sold.
It appears by accounts from Malines, that that place has
been put in a respectable state of defence, and numerous
corps of Belgian volunteers had arrived there from Tire-
lemont, Campine, and Duffle ; and the contending parties
are only divided by the River Nether; therefore we may ex-
pect soon to hear of some desperate actions, particularly
when the Belgians learn the late decree of the King of
Holland.

In the Foreign Market, little or nothing doing; Spanish
Bonds remain at 221.

CIIAULES THE DEN IR.

The ex-King of France lives in retirement at Holyrood-
house. He confines himself entirely to the company of the
few gentlemen who at present compose his suite. The only
Nobleman who had called on his Majesty is his old friend the
Earl of Wemyss. The ex-King on Friday took a walk
through part of the city. Two or three French gentlemen
were with him. He nes dressed in a blue coat. He proceed-
ed from the Palace by the Regent-bridge, but was hardly
recognized till he was passing the Post-office, when a con-
siderable crowd followed him. He went along Princes'- ,
stroet, and turned through St. Andrew's-square; but, after
passing a little below the iloyal Bank, the King, apparently
noticing the crowd to increase, went back by the same road
to Prince's-street, and from thence by the North-bridge,
I High-street, and Canongate, returned to the Palace. In
the Cannongate, particularly near the foot of it, the King
was much inconvenienced by the crowd (which did not
seem of the genteciest cast) pressing very close to him. A
few policemen quietly did what they could to keep thorn off,
but they were perfectly orderly ; and when he entered the
Palace-court-gate, the crowd took off their hats and cheered
with great good humour. One drunken fellow used some
rude expressions, which were so highly resented by the
crowd, that the police were obliged to take him into the
watchhouse, to secure him from serious maltreatment.—
The ex-King talked with the gentlemen who were with
him very cheerfully, frequently smiling at the eagerness of
the crowd to get a peep at him. He is considerably altered
in his appearance since he was last here (nearly 30 years ago),
and stoops much, but walks firmly. He was recognized by
many of our old citizens, who bad seen him formerly, and
almost every genteel person who passed, and knew him, took
off their hats, which courtesy was graciously returned. The
Duke and Duchess d'Angotileme aro expected to arrive this
day. They proceed hither via Carlisle.
In the event of his Majesty King William carrying into
effect his intention of visiting this metropolis next summer,
it is Charles's intention to make a tour through the north of
Scotland, so as to leave the coast clear for the reception of our
own Court. Lieut. Eyton, R.N. who brought Charles X.
from Poole, has been presented by the ex• King with a superb
gold snuff-box, which was furnished by Messrs. Marshal and
Sons, jewellers to his Majesty, North-bridge, and bears the
following inscription :—" Given by Charles X. to Lieut.
Eyton, R.N. 1830." It was the Duc de Polignac, brother
to the ex-Minister, and not the Duc de Duras, who came on
shore at Newhaven with Charles on Wednesday. The suite
of the ex-King, we understand, is composed, besides the
Due de Bourdeaux, of—The Due de Polignac, brother to
the Prince de Polignac; the Baron de Damas ; the Marquis
de Barbancois ; Monsieur de Barante ; Monsieur de la Vil-
late ; Dr. Bourn, and the Abbe do Bourdeville.
Sunday the Government steam-vessel Echo arrived at
Newhaven, with the remainder of Charles X.'s suite, amount-
ing to about 30 individuals. On Saturday several of the
tradesmen of Charles X. when Count d'Artois, entertained be-
tween 30 and 40 respectable citizens to dinner in Johnston s
Tavern, Abbey, in celebration of the ex-Monarch's return
to Holyrood. After dinner the party adjourned to the Pa-
lace-square, and serenaded its inmates with " Should auld
acquaintance be forgot ?" which was excellently sung in
parts by about 20 individuals, led by a gentleman from Shef-
field, and was followed by three hearty cheers. The drunken
fellow who insulted the ex-King of France in the street on
Friday was brought before the Sheriff on Saturday, in the
Police Court, where he pleaded intoxication as an excuse,
and begged the Sheriff would be merciful. He was fined a
guinea, and bound over to keep the peace in the penalty of
101.—Edinburgh Observer.

Our readers will recollect that Mr. Herbert, chief officer
of the Inglis East Indianian, was held to bail in September last, by the
Magistrates of the Thames police-office, for an assault on • seaman
named Charles Ward. It is proper to state that the Grand Jury of the
Admiralty Sessions have thrown out the bill of indictment.
DOVER, OCT. 27.—This part of Kent is in a state of
serious alarm ; every farm-house has become the scene of
alarm. Two barns belonging to Lord Sondes, near Favers-
ham, were burning as the coach came by this morning:—
Twelve men, supposed to have been concerned in the late
outrages, were taken out of their beds, and escorted by the
military into Canterbury. The breaking and burning of
machines near Sandwich, on Sunday, was conducted in the
face of day. Many farmers have broken their own threshing
machines; and a great landed proprietor has forbidden his
tenants using such machism.
