The Truth respecting the Revolution which broke owl ix Paris, is
the month of Jtcy, 1030, its gasses oralitsroavegnences.-2e. ed.
This pamphlet is a manifesto from Holvrood, and, there-1
fore, a political and his;orical curiosity. If the rapacity of
courtiers was compatible with the tights and interests of
people, it would be a good case. It is, however, proper to
hear both sides, for hitherto the evidence has all been one
way. The cause of kings is ruined by their hangers-on ;
these again Ly a second set; and the second by a third set,
increasing in each grade in rapacity, insolence and intoler-
ance. kings, who do their duty, should look at constables,
overseers and sheriffs officers, and not judge of their govern-
ment by the smooth-faced and well-dressed gentleness by
which they are personally surrounded. When in France
we judged of its government, by the impertinence of its
custom house officers, and yens d'armerie, not by the urbanity
of its king and his ministers.
France, after pushing her victories, and her conquests beyond all rea-
sonable bounds, exhausted by so many cffons, and, in her turn, van-
quish.d and subdued, owed her safety (says the writer) only to the ha-
tsrvention of that august house de Bourbon, against whom those con-
cerned in the July events have evinces! so much ingratitude.
'foe restoration, consequently, was a great benefit, and this benefit
was crowned by the enactment of the charter. Every sacrifice was
made for the reconciliation of parties ; for the mutual guarantee of those
interests arising out of the revolution and the empire even for the
foundation of liberty, the name of which had scarcely been heard under
the imperial government. The restoration, alike generous and confid-
ing, as far as was possible, hastened to give to the established order all
the requisites of strength and duration, not only in the formal provi-
sions of the charter ; but also by the creation of two political
Chant-
ben and their co.operation in the exercise of the legislative power.
This new form of government was modelled from England ; and the
Bourbons, in establishing it in France, bad reason to expect a difficult
development, and consequently were warranted in adopting every pre-
caution to prevent the gift from becoming fatal.
The Bourbons forget that they were restored by a conven-
tion, the terms of which were expressed in the declaration
from Hartwell. But pride led Louis to convert the condi-
tions into the grace of a charter—a change which generated
all the subsequent discontents.
In France, an aristocracy was scarcely left. In vain had the charter
restored their titles to the ancient, and preserved those of the imperial,
nobility. An invincible spirit oiequality, the consequence of past po-
litical storms, repelled all prerogatives in the distinction of ranks.
In France, scarcely was any political force retained by the landed
interests, owing to their property being incessantly subdivided by the
civil legislation; and, instead of social habits, the offspring of time,
which preserve their families and strengthen their influence, ideas of am-
bition and instability rose up, diametrically opposed to the division of
classes. In a word, in a great part of France. even among the most
influential on account of their central position, little faith was placed in
religion and less respect entertained for its ministers.
Snell was 012 situation of France, at the period of the Restoration,
and most assuredly it was easy to foresee that the establishment of a
constitutional government could not there be effected without difficul-
ties and danger ; that the freedom of the tribune and of the press, in
a nation naturally inflammable, could not fail to embitter the passions •
lead parties astray, and afford fresh opportunities to the revolutionary
faction, greatly reduced in number and much despised; yet always to
be dreaded, owing to their audacity.
Tice Char er, in preserving the Imperial Nobles, went no further
than to restore to the Ancient ones their titles; but, through the revo-
lution, the latter had lost useful privileges and rights. The clergy, who
had not been reestablished, under the Empire, except in a political point
of view, and justly thought that religious considerations would in-
fluence the minds of the descendants of St. Louis, had. in like manner
and through the very same causes, been stripped of great prerogatives,
as well as territorial revenues, of considerable extent.
The various losses, which had become irreparable, through the ac-
cumulation of interests which had availed themselves of times of anar-
chy, as well as owing to the tendency of general Wars, the Restoration
had considered as no longer redeemable. Its adversaries, however, cal.
lumniated the good faith of this determination : arraigned its sincerity,
and, under these odious pretexts, hastened to threaten the present pro-
prictors and cultivators with the early return of feudal rights and
tythes. In vain had the Charter confirmed the national sales of the
immense propctty of the church and the emigrants, made to an infinite
number of purchasers. The same men and the same journals constantly
indulged in these insinnations. with a view to alarm the holders re-
specting the duration of their bargains. Finally, every engine was em-
ployed to propagate errors ; to wound the self-love of the nation and
to excite fears and alarms ;—to revive pretensions and resentments.
Thence followed inevitable dissensions. Parties were formed, whilst,
on the one band, the most exaggerated ideas were engendered, and, on
the other, and this perhaps among the greatest number, distrus gra.
dually sprung up.
It coal under the Influence of this baneful spirit, that the law of
elections was made, in 1617, and afterwards converted ism a funda-
mental one, after being modified in some of is provisions. The
charter had established, as a principle, that no one should be an
elector who did not pay three hundred banes of direct conni-
butions ; whereas the new law, by straining the interpretation
of this article, extended the electoral franchise to every indie
vidual, paying this sum, which does not represent more than 15001
francs income. From this it resulted that the small proprietor', infi-
nitely more numerous in the electoral colleges than the large ones, and
naturally jealous of the latter, controlled the elections which, carried
on under the progressive ascendancy of the same distrust, added to the
leaven alecarry worknig in the public mind.
The revolutinaary faction, whose strength heal been increased by the
One Hundred days crisis, and to whose handiwork the very distrust
entertained of may be attributed, had proceeded onwards with an ha-
bitual perfidy. by adding thereto all the other topics of alarm which
bad faith caull invent. These their Journals incessantly spread abroad
and the tribune re-echoed. Soon emboldened, this same faction dared
to n i:roduce the doctrines of Jacohinism under the name of Liberal
Opinions, and with them France became infected; the distemper not
even stopping at the frontiers, of which proofs were soon afterwards
exhibited.

The election of a regicide anti other symptoms had already excited
the uneasiress of the government. when a horrid and revolting crime,
the assassination of one of the Blood Royal, instigated by political
fanaticism, unveiled the whole extent of the abyss and loudly called for
a remedy. Changes were made in the Electoral Law ; and the two-
Wths of the Depivics, whose number was augmented, corresponded
to the large landed interests, the departmental colleges ; whilst the
ether three-fifths were derived front the disoict colleges, in which the
small proprietors continued to prevail. Precautions were at the same
Cote taken ag.smo the licentiousness of the periodical press, to the ex.'
cess s of which soy justly was attributed she commission of that crime
which had Jas.+ before czrried terror and dismay throughout France.
S son after the direful assassivation which plunged the whole of the
Furth into rmurning, revolutions, produced by the same causes, broke
out in Spain. and successively in Naples and Turin. They were
soon subdued in Piedmont and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies; hut
the scourge continued to desolate Spain, and was there only overcome
and the King re-established on his throne, in 1023, by the aid of a
French army. led on by a Plince of the Blood Royal. Noble enter-
prise! conceived in that spirit of loyalty and reciprocal feeling which
led to the strong and immutable engagements subsisting between the
Sovereigns of Europe, for the mutual security and happiness of no.
Lions ; and, during the progress of which, the army and its august
Commander acquired so much glory by their success, as well as by
those sentiments of generosity and moderation which marked their whole
conduct.

Such ate the mistakes by which princes fondly deceive
themselves. The Duc de Bourbon was hated,—and the tri-
umph over free principles in Spain rendered his brother and
family equally hateful. If they had compelled Ferdinand
to give to Spain a Constitution, how different would have
been the public feelings!
The interval which elapsed between 1820 and 1827, witnessed the
publication of numberless volumes, containing the anti-religious and
anti-monarchical doetrin.s which had most contributed to the revolution
of 1789. in these incessant publications, were seen figuring, with
equal profusion, select extracts from historians= pretended histotical
Memoirs, composed by the coalesced talents of young adepts, in
which the facts were either changed, imaginary, or perverted, in order
to present no other than a tissue of defamations against Kings, Priests,
and Nobles. The greater part of these books were of the pocket Mae,
and sold at low prices, in order to be within the reach of the people.
All this while, the periodical papers, devoted to the party and seconded
by pamphlet. of Leery kind, rivalled each other in bitterness and
perfidy.
All a consequence of the overthrow of liberty in Spain
and Naplcs, and the intimate confederacy of France with
the despots of Europe, in the teeth of that Charter, of
whose liberality this author so inconsistently boasts.
During the progress of this systematic plan of warfare and in MM. a
new reign commenced for France. Charles X. succeeded to the =pit
Author of the Charter, and, like his predecessor, shewed himself the
scrupulous observer of all its enactments. His frankness : his noble
trl anity ; his unwearied benevolence and that warm effusion of heart,
" the lapse of years, disarmed the most embittered sad
tint those who had hitherto stood aloof from the threes,
ing received with eagerness and kindness by a King who
loved, without ceasing to be obeyed.
tetion beheld with fretfulness and chagrin. lotffectuallp
;:e• t f the new reign directed to the suppression of the CS&
montns previously and under Louis XVIII. opined so

abuses of the most intoterable kind. Those Journals which had most
contributed to the adoption of the meanie, were again eager and ready
to indulge in the pleasure of ingratitude. In like manner, the other
branches of an inimical press aimed their envenomed shafts against a
popularity which alike alarmed and wounded them. Their audacity,
bad faith and the activity of their publications, surpassed all bounds.
The dread of tythes and feudal lights, so long wielded fur insidious pur-
poses, bad at length become ltarmkvs, and for it the terror of Jesuitism
was substituted. AU the unfavourable recollections relating to this
Order, long ago suppressed, were drawn fotth and wantonly exagge-
rated Soon, the same denomination was extended to the whole clergy,
and successively applied to all men, openly religious.
All was an extensive conspiracy, it was given out, which, ere long,
would subvert the established order ; tyrannize over the consciences of
all, and raise up a fanatical dominion over the rcople and the throne;
notwithstanding it was well known that, throughout the whole king-
dom, there only existed seven atablisinnents for public instruction, held
by ecclesiastics belonging to that ancient corporation, under the name
of " Fathers of the Faith," allowed lu France even under the Imperial
government ; to whom were added a certain number of missionaries.
Such means of delusion and defamation, copiously and actively em-
ployed, would at length have perverted the public opinion of the cold-
loot nation—one the most strongly imbued with oppokite sentiments.
With greater reason then must expedients like these have continually
agitated the breasts of the French people, susceptible of the liveliest
impressions, and who, in consequence of what had been happening fur
several years past, were predisposed to the admission of errors of this
kind. Hence the elections of 1827 soon shelved the fatal effects of
these baneful doctrines, and the impulse then given and continually
kept up by precisely the same manoeuvres, was never afterwards
stopped.
Soon afterwards those Ordinances were Issued which closed the esta-
blishments of the jesuits; excluded the ecclesiastics of this Order
from all public and religious functions, and prescribed, in regard of
small seminaries, prohibitions sal restraints which distressed the
Clergy, although die sacrifice was demanded at the shrine of liberal
opinions.
Other concessions were made to the order of the day, by the law that
relieves the press from every possibility of censure, and diminished the
securities required for the journals; by the law respecting the deem-
ral lists, which subjected the administrative authorities to suspicious
and incessant investigations, by rendering their operations subordinate.
to the rival authority of the tribunals, and delivering them up, almost
defenceless, to the attacks, from that time legal, or party spirit.
Concessions, of a still more extensive kind, were to be found in the
projects of a law on the departmental and communal administration,
presented to the Chamber of Deputies, &e. hut, however great the sa-
crifices made, within the short spate of eighteen months, to liberal
opinions, they only rendered the party more importunate, without
breaking, or weekening, their connection with the inimical faction in
the train of which they still continued to move—that faction which be.
cave more implacable in proportion as it approached the object to
which it bad been tending, ever since the restoration.

But all these concessions were extorted, and nothing was
conceded, nor half so much as was secured by the decla-
ration from Hartwell, or even by the Charter which had
adroitly mystified the former.
The author of this observation wrote the declaration
from Hartwell, and the restoration was its coosequence. He
was in Paris in 1818, while there were five insurrections,
and the king paid him the compliment to send for him, but
he declined to see his Majesty, and replied in seven words,
" Respect the Charter, or return to exile."
The royal power kal already experienced too many aggressions anil
saw itself surrounled by too many hostilities, to allow itself to lie ex.
nosed with impunity to the dangerous consequences of nn nttempt, of
the must grievous character, levelled against its most essential tights,
by the majority of the Chandler of Deputies, composed of 221 mem.
ben. This Chamber was prorogued t.nd shortly afterwards ills.
solved. _ _

In the interval, no pains were spared] to enlighten the electors, du-
rirg this new appeal to their own amscienees. A royal proclamation
expressed the affliction caused by the inconceivable refusal of 7221 them.
hers to concur ; the blame thereby incurred, jointly with the most pa-
ternal sentiments of the King ; his religious attachment to the charter;
together with his full determinsdon to allow or nothing opposed to the
rights and liberties of the people, which he identified with the rights
and liberties of the Crown.

Fruitless solicitude ! The liberal journals calumniated the language
then uttered; in the character of masters, they dictated the will and
wishes of the directing Committees and leaguing themselves with the
ramifications of that Club. spread all over France, they boldly com-
manded the re-election of the 221 Deputies and were blindly obeyed.
A deplorable success followed, which equally bore the character of a
real outrage.
The Crown was thus reduced to the most painful extremities. It
was necessary to submit—the royal dignity was to be degraded by
tamely enduring the insult offered ; or, the moment had arrived to re-
I gain the strength, requisite for its very existence, by preserving theirs-
tegrity of the kingly authority, and this was now no longer to be done,
unless by extraordinary means, all the ordinary ones having been al.
ready exhausted.
This conspiracy, the centre of which was in Paris, nevertheless, did
riot reckon in its ranks and among Its auxiliaries, any other than a
weak minority of Frenchmen. The whole of its ascendancy was wielded
by the press ; by the journals acting under the orders of its leaders and
the eager propagators of their doctrines, as well as through the exten-1
sive chain which, issuing from the directing committee, stretched out to
all the departments ; the secondary links being however managed more
by dupes, than accomplices. The very elements of this conspiracy, a
arrange compound of turbulent spirits, trained to corruption, impiety,
sad unbridled ambition, which could only be satisfied by the expedient
of an usurpation, were in themselves incompatible with the restoration,
of which the impulse and the laws incessantly caused the princi-
ples of order, peace, probity and religion to prevail in society; and. in
the exercise of the regal power, preserved the habits of moderation, jus-
tice and liberty.
It was precisely in this spirit, and within these bounds, that the
Ordinances of the 26th July were drawn up. They were acts of the
moment measures of safety, of which an account was to be rendered to
the Chambers, at the opening of their session ; that hi, before the ex-
piration of two months, since one of the very Ordinances fixed the,
opening previous to that term.
The first, preceded by an exposition of the motives fully unfolded,
had for object to suspend the ravages of the press, and with this view
re-produced the provisional law of 1014, attaching thereto the means of
execution. _ _

The second was calculated to withdraw, in the elections to which it
had been deemed necessary to recur, the electoral colleges from the
despotism of the journals and the directing committee. To this end it
enlarged the electoral share of the landed interests, particularly of the
larger dais, and temporarily put in force several enactments of the
Charter, which subsequent laws bad modified.
The third pronounced the dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies,
newly elected ; convened the electoral colleges, and fixed the opening of
the parliamentary session.
If the crown had formed the intention, maliciously attributed to it,
of thenceforward freeing half from the constitutional trammels and
preparing the enunter.revolution, would its ministers 1-nre confined
se or,!i 0. 2 Ningt r'.“`l, .01'. nn. Tee Arank and
too open-hearted sus eft, supported by an armed force,
in which all the disposable means were collected, and waiting only me
favourable moment for an explosion, would have been the result. Hence
was it that, on the very first day, the tri.coloured flag was seen floating,
and the cries of " Death to the King and Royal Family," distinctly
' were heard ! As early as the Monday morning, the Marshal of
France on duty ; in command of the royal guard. and at the same time
governor of the military division of Paris., had received orders from the
Ring further to take upon him eelf the command of this cum..
The armed revolt which had broke oat on the Tuesday, having
shown that it was a matter of the greatest urgency to carry the means
of defence and the preservation of public order still further, a royal
ordinance, issued on the Wednesday morning, declared the city of
Paris to be in a state of siege, conformably to the provisions of the ex-
isting laws, in all similar cases of insurtection. The Marshal com-
manding. therefore found himself, by virtue of this ordinance, which
was immediately forwarded to him, invested with the civil and military
powers. The forces under his command scarcely amounting to 8,000
men, he confined himself to the occupation and defence of that part of
the city, situated on the right bank of the Seine, and conformably to
this determination his arrangements were made.
On the Wednesday, by eleven o'clock, the revoke,s were at their
posts and ready to act. The contest commenced a few minutes after-
wards, and continued, with increased ardour, till night. The troops,
confined in the streets of so large a city, compelled to form separate
detachments, and unable to support each odicr, or to keep their oom-
inunications open, fought, under every species of disadvantage, against
adversaries eight, or ten times their own number, and consequently in a
situation to renew their attacks; uniformly retaining the attitude of
assailants and fighting from the tops of houses; from behind intratch-
*nous and frequently from behind masses of the people, attracted to the
scene of action by curiosity.
Towards eight o'clock in the, evening, in obedience to the orders
which he had just recieved from the King, and of which mention will
be hereafter made, the Marshal, seeing besides that with so small a
force, already diminished by severe losses, it would he out of his power
to continue the defence on so large a scale, directed all the troops to
draw back and take up positions only on the Louvre, lea Tuileries, in
the neighqourhood, and the Champs Elyseee, re-establishing on the
latter point the communications which, for several hours, bad been in-
terrupted with St. Cloud. He at the same time, despatched &regiment
to Vincennes, to procure ammunition and artillery, having only, in the
course of the day, been able to bring up six cannons, of small calibre.
The insurgents, however, being assembled in great numbers on the di.
rat roads, this regiment was forced to pursue a long and devious
march and thus prevented from returning to St. Cloud before the fol-
lowing day, when Paris had been evacuated.
After nine hours fighting, of the most painful kind, as well as the

moat unfavourable, in every respect, the were concentrated in
their new positions, morally and physleallyltined. They had taken
no h.freAment since the morning, when they rat quilted their quer-
ters.—Twelve bows bud elapsed and no rations were prepared to dis-
tribute to diem. _ _ _ _

On the following morning, no better supplies of food were to be had
than during the preceding evening. The ammunition also began to be
eahausted, in the course es the night, so that, on the Thursday, the
position of the troops was rendered really distressing, in every respect;
whereas the audacity and number of tho revolted had considerably in-
creased, through infatuation and success.
About noon, a Swiss battalion, posted in the court yard of the Louvre
having seen the surrounding buildings evacuated by another battalion,
at the time in charge of them, and immediately afterwards invested by
the insurgents, astonished at these hostilities 'lox it was supposed that
a suspension of arms had been agreed upon, and conceiving that they
were abandoned, or betrayed, marched off towards the Tuileries, where
this ntovetnent communicated the same impressions to a part of the
troops stationed there. The incident then gave rise to a precipitate re-
treat towards the Champs Elysees. Soon afterwards, the retreat became
general on St. Cloud, conformably to the orders just issued by the King.
The Duke de Montemart' on duty at St. Cloud, was appointed mi.
Meter of Foreign Affairs and President of the Council of Ministers,
and sent to Paris with the full powers required. The King relied on
his early return, or, at hart, on a quick dispatch, so that he might be
able to learn the result of his mission. He did not return—he did not
even write. Nevertheless, Charles X. bound by his word, far from sus-
pecting all that was going on, at that critical moment, in the secret
councils which were disposing of the destinies of France, in so arbitrary
a manner; supposing that the negotiations of the Duke de Montemart
met with delay in some quarter, or other, it not being possible to ac-
count for his silence in any other manner, and much less to doubt his
intentions, anxiously awaited his return, or letters from him, scrupu-
lously abstaining front all measures which could in the least obstruct
the road to conciliation that had been opened. It being found impos-
sible, at St. Cloud and in the neighbourhood, to procure the provisions
requisite for the troops, whom it was besides expedient to remove from'
the temptations of all kinds with which the numerous emissaries of the
revolted assailed them, he merely determined to depart on the Saturday
morning from St. Cloud, in order to proceed to Versailles, and after-
wards to Rambouillet, where he arrived on the same day at eleven in
the evening.
It was not till Sunday, the let of August, that the King was in.
Muted by a faithful servant, just arrived from Paris, that about fifty'
Deputies had assembled on the Friday eveningg, the 30th of July, and
declared the Duke of Orleans Lieutenant-General of the kingdom,
withou. entering into the question of Legitimacy; and that, In the
course of :Saturday, the Prince had taken upon himself to accept the
appoitatnent. The King at the same time learnt that a municipal coin-
...time, the members of which had been sitting for two days, at the
Town ihdl,untler the presidency of M. tie lat Faette, whom they had
also appointed Commandant-General of the National Guard, thus dia.
positig, as If by sovereign authority, of the numerous forces, armed
and drawn togetler by means of the insurrection, were meditating re-
,olutiona still wore fatal.

On receiving this news, Charles X. deeply afflicted with the misfor-
tunes which um about to beEd France ; ever anxious to diminish them,
as much as he could ; desirous of affording to his cousin all the means
neectsary to accomplish this wish, as well as to withdraw him from the
labia position—the painful enibarrasment in which he must have been
placed, in his own eyes, by an appointment so arbitrarily conferred
upon him and which he had considered himself bound to accept ; rely-
ing also on the loyal intentions of the Prince, as well on account of the
fatally tics, as the bandits which he had received from the King Louis
XVIII. and also from himself Charles X. appointed him Lleutartnt-
(lateral of the Kingdom • and, going still further, on the very next
(14, confided to him the itegeney in tin Mt containing his own abdica-
tion and that of his son, M. le Dauphin, in favour of his grand son,
the Duke de Bordeaux.

The Acts of which mention is here made, haring reached the Duke
of Orleans, the King was about to choose the place of nis retreat. when
commissioners were sent to hint on the part of the municipal committee
of l'aris, inviting him to hasten his departure from the kingdom. and
on his refusal to receive so indecent an injunction, a party of the rc.
yoked lett the capital in order to proceed towards Runaboutllet. The
Dauphin, justly irritated, at that moment wished, as he had done some
days before, at :st. Cloud, to place hintsek at the head of the troops, in
order to punish so daring an insult, or to shed his blood in sustaining
the rights and dignity of his noble Family, The King however, ob.
jetted, and his detarnination being irrevocably fised, be set out for
Cherbourg, accompanivl by the persons belonging to his household,
heart-broken at the calamities which he was leaving behind him ; at
the consternation prevailing along the line of road which he was pur-
suing, and the mournful affliction depicted on the countenances of the
military of all tanks and classes, who were performing, without con.
ceiving why, the painful duty of accompanying the last steps un their
native land, of an august family, united to France by so many rights,
recollections and benefits. _ _

The new King of the French WS% soon afterwards, not consecrated—
not crowned, but merely installed, by means of a ceremony similar to that
adopted'. at the installation of the resident of a court, a prefect, or a
mayor by convening thereto the authorities, or public functionaries, his
equals, or inferiors, in precedence. No more show was now seen around
the throne—no royal guards—nothing that could gratify that just self-
love, or corresponded with the advanced state of civilisation in
Prance; notwithstanding this new King was called upon to take his
place, and in the foremost rank, among the sovereigns of the other
states of Europe t to t a nation too great and too proud to bear
any comparison, calculated to inflict a wound in the person of its
august chief.
In the mean while, that child, the pure Mood of thy Kings, lives and
grows strong under the shelter of the Sassotuary. Heaven seems to
rejoice in forming his heart and his mind; in revealing to him thy
qualities and thy wants, and the miracle of his birth holds out to thee
the prospect of happier times !
Such are the illusions of royalty concentrated by flattery
and fostered by education and self-love This is not the
time to taunt a fallen race with instances of their positive
infractions of their own charter, and with their own fretful
dominion under what they considered its irksome restraints.
Kings and ministers are too apt to consider the world as
blind, or capable of being blinded. But the days are past
when soothing words and self-sdulation have influence, for
the press and general illumination rendering the governed
as wise as their governors, facts and nothing but facts are
the instruments of durable power.

Two fires took place on Wednesday night last, on two different farms
in the occupation of Mr. Philip Jenner ; of New Close, in the parish
of Keymer, on one farm. a COTll4ttek was consumed, and on the other
two stacks of hay were destroyed.
The improvements in the Royal Pavilion pleasure-grounds and gar-
dens go on rapidly—they include a handsome range of buildings, with
white brick fronts, which is intended, perhaps, to extend the accommo-
dations designed for the immediate visitors at the royal palace.
The e1.n,0 rnyll. in PrincegA'gplace, is undergoing improvements.

Two new suites of Baths, the one for ladies, the other for gentle.
men at the southern extremity of the Chain-pier, are to be set about
forthwith.

Zoological Gardens, upon rather a splendid plan, are contemplated
here—the situation pointed out is the Cricket-ground, to the south of
the " Royal Brighton Gardens," so called by the late King, which are
to remain undisturbed. The designs have been made by Mr. Wilds.
The principal building is to be in the shape of a cross, extending 120
feet, with a dome in the centre rising nearly 00 feet, which will con.'
lain a conservatory, &c. Dens for certain classes of animals are to bel
included in other pans of the pile.
Two large fish, distinguished as the marble fish, not often seen In
this part of the world, wcrc brought to shore by one of our boats at
the beginning of the week past which have since been exhibited under

EAST ANGLIAN, OR NORFOLK HERALD,

APRIL 26.

The Horticultural Society held their second spring meeting on Wed.
peachy, which was graced by a more numerous assemblage of elegant
company than we ever have witnessed upon any former occasion. From
12 till 2, there was one continued influx, and so large a portion of the
beauty and fashion of the city, combined with so full an attendance of
country families, never congregated within the walls of the Exchange.
Iwcixotaamm.—On Tuesday night last, at twelve o'clock, a fire
was discovered on the premises of Mr. Buck, of Audition Grange, which
consumed the entire roof of a very large barn, containing live waggons
loaded with corn in the straw, a quantity of dressed barley, a large
wheat stack recently got in, three dressing machines, one thrashing do.
a hay cutter, and vats other valuable property, the whole of which
was destroyed ; also a long range of bullock sheds were consumed by the
devouring element.
The circumstances connected with the death of Henry Hogge, Esq.
Betch, have plunged a highly respectable family into a state of deep
affliction. The unfortunate gentleman had, for some time, been very
much Indisposed. Recently the greatest caution had been observed to
prevent those fatal and distressing consequences, which often result
from mental aberration. Various rumours have been circulated, and it

DUMFRIES COURIER, APRIL 26.

The Helen, Douglas, and Isabella, which sailed a few days ago front
Anoan, carried out between them upwards of 150 passengers, chiefly
agricultural labourers from the surrounding district. The same
week, 160 persons, also labourers, and with hardly an exception
from the county of Roxborougb, crossed to Msryport, for the pus.
pore of embarking for the city of Quebec. Such of the emigrants as
had come from some distance and previously taken leave of their frienda,
appeared to be in excellent health and spirit and in reference to the far
country whither they were bound, we it may be said in the worth
of Byron, that most of them have " some friend or brother there."--
This is a very great advantage, and obviates to a very great extent, the
thousand.and-one difSculties and discouragement' which beset the path
of the original settlers in a new colony. The Helen Douglas, which
not infrequently completes the outward passage in nineteen days, is still
the reigning favorite with emigrants, and the owner we understand, was
I under the disagreeable necessity of clearing the vessel of a number of
persons who had applied too late from an apprehension that there might
Ibe a short.eoming of water. By law every vessel carrying emigrants
must lay in 50 gallons of water for each person on board, and
the same number of pounds of stuff bread—that is, in the shape
of biscuit or other bread, barley-meal, potatoes, or Sour. This salu.
tary regulation is rigidly enforced by the Custom-house officers ; and
though the ordinary, class of emigrants provide their own provisions,
the vessels rewire to be doubly victualled qua the crew, to prevent ac.
eidents arising from individual improvidence. In the name of passage.
money, 31. are demanded for full-grown persons, and half the sum for
children. Where the families are large a liberal discount is given to
parents, and many cases occur in which they are allowed to take two,
three, or four bairns into the bargain.
A ewe, supposed to be of the Leicester breed, belonging to John
Patterson, an industrious labourer in the pariah of Johnstone, was
found the other morning with three lambs at her foot, to the no small
hoy of the happy family ; and what is very remarkable, the same ewe
as produced and nursed to maturity, within the Ault space of four
yews not less than 14 lambs. We have all heard of the far-famed
" Evho wi' the crooked horn," but sic as this " was never born, here.
abouts or far awa."

On a careful and minute inquiry into the condition of a
portion of the female sex in London, it has been calculated
that the number of females of a certain class exceed 80,000;
that there are at present 15,000 girls, children of the poor,
who have no visible means of subsistence, the greater part
of whom are trained to every variety of vice—and are with.
out shelter or home. It is also ascertained that the number
of female servants in London, is 165,732. That the time
each servant remains in one situation, by an average taken
at seven different periods, is 462 days, consequently, on an
average 358 leave their situations every day. Seven out of
every ten are young women front the country ; and by an
examination of the calendars of the principal prisons in
England, and by the acknowledgement of the parties them-
selves, it is also ascertained, that nine out of every ten of
the female prisoners either are, or have been, In a certain
condition of life.
