in a carriage and four, round Hyde-park.
The Duke of Sussex paid a visit to their Nl,t-
-jesties, and their Alajesties entertained a select party at
dinner in the es% ni .g.

BOULOONZ. SLPT. 6.—This piers is crowded
with English visitors at present, and like an English colony.
There has been a great influx within these few days. and
hardly a lodging is to be got. Many new houses are erect-
ing, and the town is now neat and clean (thanks to John
Bull for his liberality) as any in England. 'rue citizens
mount guard without uniform—cannon is planted on the
Boulevards. Over the Guard-house is a bust of King Philip,
surrounded by two tri-coloured flags ; and underneath
that of La Fayette, with these words--
" Liberte. Ordres Public, 27, 28, 29 Juillet-1789, 1830."
Came in the Royal George packet, with Judge and Lady
Bayley, Mr. and Mrs. Rae %Filson, Mr. and Mrs. Grassbrook,
Mr. Thomson, and many other passengers. From an °mt.
sional defect In speech in Lady ILtyly, the learned Judge
has been obliged to take her often aquatic trips, which has
the wonderful effect of restoring speech. The English
Church was crowded yesterday, when the Communion was
adminlatered.—Exchange 0 francs.
DOVER. SEPT. s.—His Excellency General
Sir Frederick Adams, with Colonel Ruddlesdale, &c. sr-
Tired yesterday at Wright's Ship Hotel, from Corfu. Lord
and Lady William Russell and family, and Mrs. Moss and
family, also came by his Majesty's mail packet Firefly.
His Grace the Duke of Devonshire has been at Wright's
same days.
Tickets for the Abbey are selling about the
streets at a guinea, half a guinea, and five shillings,
according to position. It is understood that they
are those, which are the properly of the Clergy,
connected with the Abbey. Was the same thing
done at the last Coronation ? It has created much
surprise.

W. see advertised in the Paris papers a steam-
packet, Francois* Premier, of 450 tons, and one
hundred and twenty horse-power, re sailing regu-
larly between Marseilles, Genoa, Leghorn, and
Naples.
The Galignanis of Paris annunce a French re-
print of the new work called the Club Book ; and
also Oliver Moore's Staff Officer.

It affords us pleasure to learn that the tasteful
theatre at Brighton, under the spirited management
of Messrs. Vining and Bew, has been most libe-
rally patronised ever since its commencement. Mr.
Russell, the late respected manager, is enjoying the
otium cum dignitate, surrounded by an amiable
and interesting family. •
Patrick Gibson, who lately died in his 110th
year, at Chelsea, assured the writer of this para-
graph, in the presence of his grandchildren, and
great grandchildren, that be had never in his life
drank the quantity of a single glass of raw spirits ;
even though as purser of a second rate, he served
all the spirits to the crew. He considered all spit its
as a slow deadly poison ; his favourite liquor was
coffee, and he did not refuse an occasional draft of
porter.
New PEERS.—The following is spoken of as a
correct list of new Peers about to be created :—Sir Fralcis
Burdett. Sir T. Acland, T. W. Coke, Esq. Sir W. Beni.

A rumour is in circulation that the Duke of Or-
the Crown Prince of France. is expected In London,
to be present at the Coroaatien. This is, we believe. inter-
sect; but his Royal Highness, cr an ambassador to repre-
sent his father on the occasion, would bare attended. had it
been agreeable to our gracious &Tertian to put Me Court of
the Palais Royal to that expense. The enurement of an
extraordinary mission was, we urderatard Wilted by Lcuis-
Plilippe, and declined,— MAWS.
DESTRUCTIVE Ft fut.—Abet:. t two O'clock this
mornings fire was discovered to have too menced in the very
extemive premises of Mr. Cousins, the whnlesalc fancy
toynlan, of Na 57, Aldersgateirree,. The gamer burst
forth in a few minutes in the most terrific manner. Such
was the blaze of light that in a short titne it directed all the
firemen and the different insurance engines to the spot.
There was abundance of water, but no elation of the nu.
merous firemen, with a large body of the City police. headed
by Mr. Drown, one of the City Marstiele, and all the pariah
officers, could confine the fire to Mr. CoustlWs house end
property ; for in a short time the tiwellinkhouse of Mr.
Edwards, a gentleman connected v ith the ptibtinv bnsitters,
was ignited, and he, with his holly, bad barely tin.e
escape in their night clothes. The fire Mg. tentrnunirhtt
to Hare-court and Cherry-tree-court, whith ate situated en
both sides of Mr. Cousins and Mr. RdsParda' hooves. and
the two sides of these courts are nearly destroyed, and very
little of the property of the poor and destitute inhabits, is
reserved. About four o'clock the walk of the how" of
Mr. Cousins and Mr. Edwards fell id Pith a tremendous
crash, to the imminent danger of the affienen and City psi k..
who were at the time exerting t rs to the utmost in
preventing the fire from ereaffiNg further. The Alden% tie

of chimnies fell down wigs a dreadful crash, fortunate') in
the ruins. We are sorry to relate. that two females trying
to escape from the names, in throwing themselves out of t:•e
windows were dangerously harts sod ended to the hciPt al.
The property demo* on this occasion Is very great, and
very little insured, compared with the loaf sustained. An

ALARMING SPREAD OF CHOLERA,
EXTRACTED FROM THE LAST HAMBURGH

This subject, in spite of ourselves, forces itself
on public attention. While confined to Russia
and Poland, it appeared to be a distant evil, not
commanding an undue share of newspaper notice;
but as we have foreseen, the intermixture of Prus-
sian authorities with the infected Russian army,
has now contaminated that populous kingdom, on
all points of its frontiers, as well on land as of the
Baltic ports. In like manner, the Russians car-
ried it into Gallicia, whence it has spread through
Hungary to the Danube; and by the last accounts,
had infected the fine city of Belgrade, while it
daily appeared in places close to Vienna.
At St. Petersburgh, from the first appearance of
the cholera till the 14th ult. 8659 persons were
attacked, 4438 died, and 226 rernaincl ill. The
medical men in Russia almost unanimously deny
the contagious nature of the malady, but do not
account for its progress along high roads and the
hanks of rivers. At the great hospital at Wassili-
Oitrow, none of the medical men were taken ill ;
aid of the whole of the nurses, only two died.
11 n M nc kg, 11, SEPT. 3.—ln consequence of the
spreading, of the cholera in the different parts of
the Continent, the senate of Hamburgh have made
contracts for building hospitals for the reception cf
the sick poor, should the cholera make its appear-
ance in this place. Three thousand marks banco
has been. appropriated for these buildings (and the
c;penses of a medical establshment), which were
begun on Sunday last, on the ground contiguous
to the city outside of the ramparts, where no com-
munication will take place with the city except
under certain regulations, as the gates will be
closed.

The accounts from Dantzic are most distressing.
Yesterday a gentleman in this place received a
letter from his brother, who says, as soon as the
disease makes its appearance in any house, it is
,:nrrountled by the military. It concludes thus—
" Gun only knows how long this scourge will last.
Yesterday our house was attacked; in it there are
'29 persons, all sick except myself. The guard
has been set ; no person but the doctor is allowed
to enter, nor am I permitted to go out. Our food
and other necessaries are handed to us by a long
pole, with a hook at the end, in a basket."
All the families that are at their country houses
in the vicinity of Hamburgh have been requested
to remain there. Denmark and Hamburg)), each
with a view to protect their own territories, have
drawn a cordon ; sentinels are placed round, and
vessels are anchored at the mouth of the Elbe, to
prevent vessels coming from places infected from
passing.

BORSEN HALLE, Friday, 4 o'Clock.—But a
small quantity of wheat has been received at mar-
ket to-day, and in consequence of the partial
stopping of the navigation in the interior (owing to
the cholera) the best wheat, which last week sold
for 125 rthlr, to-day fetched as high as 135 rthlr,
Rye is also dearer, Barley, of a fine quality, has
a ready sale ; • Oats are dull ; Rape Seed was
brisk, at an advance of three shillings from last
week.

ST. PETERSBURG, AUG. 29.—Since the com-
mencement of the epidemic at St. Petersburg, the
total number of sick to the 16th of August, was
8,679, died 4,455; and to the 29th, 8,691, died
4,464. In Hungary 35,342 persons have been
attacked: cured, 6,078; died, 16,887; under
cure, 12,377.

His Holiness has ordained public prayers during
rt week in the churches Saint Andre, Della Valle,
Sain P.och, to implore the Divine succour of
Prot•idence, to remove from the Roman States the
plague of the cholera morbus. Indulgencies will
he granted to those who will visit these churches, or
who will take the communion in the course of the
week.— Quotidienne.

Brimix, Aug. 27.—This city being•quite free
from cholera, the communication with the different
pa: ts of the country, has been re-established. In
tho various parts in the licipity of this place, where
it :lid exist, the:e has been no appearance of it for

BERLIN, August 29.—The Prussian State Ga-
zette contains a long ordinance relative to the
li:ensures to he observed on the breaking out of the
cholera.

Official news has been received to-day, that a
sailor on board a ship at Charlottenburg, has died 1
V Ili& symptoms of the cholera. The vessel was
immediately placed under a strict guard.
—The town, fortunately, is still entirely free
and as on account of the great intercourse be-
tv een Charlottenburg and Vienna, the entire in-
terruption of the communications would be ex-
tromely difficult, no cordon will be placed round
Charlottenburg. The navigation between Span-
dau and Charlottenburg is for the present sus-
pended.
POLISH FRONTIERS, Arc. 27.—We have no
further news from the Russian main army, except
that the head-quarters are at the distance of a
mile and a half (about seven English miles), and
the advance posts only half that distance from War
saw. The reasons that the Russians have not yet
given battle is said to be, that the Field Alarshal
is inclined to wait for the result of the dissentious
now prevailing in the Polish army, and in Warsaw
itself, as perhaps the consequence of these may be
that the whole affair of Poland will be settled with-
out further blOodshed. Warsaw will not be bom-
kiided, but ab the last extremity, as the Field
Marshal thinkg to obtain possession of the city by
n-lo;iation, to which the inclination of the inhabi-
tants, who would-suffer severely by a siege, will cer-
t duly contribute' in a great degree.—Prussian
State Gazette, Sept. 1.
The accounts frdm Hungary are painful in the
extreme. The peasauts, who appear to have been
kept in a state of nearly brutal ignorance, commit
frightful excesses. Between thirty and forty of
the nobility, among whom were even some females,
nlready been butchered, and their castles pil-
laged and burnt. The necessity for maintaining
the sanitory coition Lad lett the country without
an armed force suilieient. to repress those disorders.
A melancholy :therm:ire therefore presented itself,

insurrection and massacre should be suffered to
proceed, or the frontier be thrown open to the sd-
mission of the cholera morbus.

Letters from Konigsberg, dated the 15th ult.
state, that the Emperor Nicholas still lived, but that
his health was much impaired.
M. d'Argout, Minister of Commerce, demanded,
in the name of his department, a credit of two mil-
lions of francs, in addition to the six millions voted
last year, for the completion of the canals.
The same minister afterwards called for a sup-
plementary credit of one million, to defray the ex-
penses which the sanitary measures about to be
taken against the introduction of the cholera into
France, would require.
The President of the Council lately stated in
the Chamber of Deputies that 860,000 muskets
had been delivered to the National Guards since
the events of July, 1830. Two pages of the
Moneteur are occupied with a detailed account of
the distribution of these arms, from which it ap-
pears that they amounted to 860,151 muskets,
2,879 pairs of pistols, 216,038 sabres, 2,073 lances,
and 500 pieces of artillery. The muskets were
thus divided :—To the nine Departments of the
North, 131,735 ; to the twelve Eastern Depart-
ments, 158,271 ; to the six of the Alps, 74,777 ;
to the seven of the Pyrenees, 56,476 ' • and to the
51 Interior Departments, 438,892. The artillery
was thus divided :—Amongst the 34 Frontier De-
partments, 269 pieces, and the 51 of the Inte-
rior, 231. _

There was held, on the 30th of August last, at
Francfort, a sitting of the Germanic Confederation.
We are assured that M. Munch-Bellinghausen,
president of the Diet, and representative of Austria,
made a motion tending to persuade the Diet to
examine, whether it was not due to its dignity to
put an end to the provisionary state of things in
Luxembourg ; and it was decided, by a majority of
nine voices against eight, that there was sufficient
reason to cause the Duchy to be occupied by the
troops of the Germanic confederation. Couriers
left immediately to make the cabinets of Vienna
and Berlin acquainted with this determination.—
National.

A serious riot occurred at the amphitheatre at
Milan, on the night of the 24th ult. occasioned by
the disappointment of the audience. The theatre
was nearly destroyed.
The Funds have risen, owing, it is said, to large
purchases by Rothschild. The 3 per cents on Sa-
turday were 60.
THE HAGUE, Aug. 31.—The review of the
troops by his Majesty on Monday and Tuesday on
the heath of Woensol and Gilsch was very brilli-
ant. On Monday the divisions of the Duke of
Saxe-Weimar and of Generals Meyer and Honk-
geis were assembled. They amounted to between
30 and 34,000 men, infantry and cavalry, with 60
pieces of cannon. On Tuesday the first divisors,
with two regiments of Cuirassiers, a battery of
Field Artillery, and a division of Horse Artillery.
The loss of our army in the late campaign was as
follows :—Killed, 6 officers, 108 privates; wound-
ed, 39 officers, 546 privates ; missing, no officers,
90 privates. In all, 4.5 officers and 744 privates.

PANORAMA OF THE BRITISH
EMPIRE.

STAFFORDSHIRE MERCURY, Sept. 3.

REPIZSTNTATION OF WALsat.L.—The following
resolutions were passed at a meeting of the Walsall Politi-
cal Union, on Wednesday the 24th tilt:
Resolved—" That Sir C. Wolseley, Bart. having in
times of great political excitement, and during the pleni.
tude of the power of the boroughmongers, at the expense of
his own personal liberty, advocated the cause of the people,
and the rights and liberties of the industrious classes of
society ; this Council is of opinion, that that Gentleman is
a fit and proper person to represent the Borough and
Foreign of Walsall, in a reformed Parliament."
Resolved—" That the Secretary to the Council be
directed to tnmsmit to Sir C. Wolseley, a copy of the fore-
going resolution, with a request that be will signify his
pleasure thereon, at the earliest convenience, in order that
the Council may tate such further steps as may be necessary
on this important subject."

LIVERPOOL •ND 3I•XCHESTII RAILWAIL"...We are
informed, on pretty good authority, that the present gross
income of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway is about
200,0001. per annum, and that the company may have ex-
pended in warehouses, engines, &c. up to the present time,
1,000,0001 gross income 200,0001. deduct the expenses of
management, and they are upon a complete and effective,
but upon a very expensive scale, say 70,0001—balance
130.0001. for the interest of 1,000,0001. or 13 per cent.
,Many of the Staffordshire iron-works have ceased business.

CHOLERA Moszcs..--On Tuesday week, Mr. Kent,
inn-keeper, Hall-street, Dudley, was seized witb a violent
attack of cholera morbus, and his sufferings were so severe
that it was thought death must terminate them. Having
fortunately seen a paragraph in the Wolverhampton paper
of the preceding week, respecting a boy that was brought
off the race course ill of the same complaint, and cured by
the vapour baths, he determined to try their efficacy in his
own case. lie had not been in the bath more than five mi-
nutes before he found relief, and in fifteen minutes he was
convalescent. _ _ .

BRANDY FROX BREAD. The patentee of the invention
for procuring spirit front the vapour which flies off bread in
baking, exhibited the process at Mr. Pratt's mill, at Stoke,
yesterday morning, before several intelligent individuals,
one of whom brought away for our inspeetiont a small loaf
from which the spirit had been thus drawn. It did not ap.
pear to be baked over dry, through having undergone the
process; while the delicate crispy brown of the crust gave
it quite a tempting appearance. We understand the portion
of spirit produced from a small quantity of dough is greater
than most would credit, without ocular demonstration ; but
still we are sceptical as to any great advantage to be derived
from the invention. . . . .

Lieutenant Morrison, who has examined the spot on
which the Rothsay Castle struck, informs us, that it is so
near the Swath, as it is called, between the Spit and the
Dutchman's Bank, the depth of which, at low water, is two
fathoms, that any person acquainted with the locality might,
by swimming or floating from the wreck, in the direction of
the bank, have reached the sands, which are dry at low
water. The distance, he says, is not much above two hun-
dred yards. All, however, appears to have been confusion
on board. Every person acquainted with the locality seems
to have lost his presence of mind ; and no effort appears to
have been made by the captain or his crew, to save the lives
which his drunkenness, his obstinacy, or his ignorance, or
all these united, had been mainly instrumental in bringing
into peril and ultimate destruction.
Lieutenant Morrison has published a very clever " Nam-
tire" of the accident and subsequent proceedings. He
says,—
" On board the William IV. in which vessel I returned
to Liverpool, were two of the survivors ; Jones, the fireman,
and :kir. L. Duckworth, and numerous individuals who had
been to seek for their friends among the bodies which had
been washed up, or otherways found. There was also the
body of the young Miss Broadhurst, aged sixteen and a
hail; for conveying of which to Liverpool, I was informed,
Mr. Watson (the agent) demanded the sum of five pounds !
I should have been more astonished at this, if I had not
previously heard that he required no less than ten guineas
for bringing that of Mr. Hammond to Liverpool; but at
length agreed to take tire guineas. It appeared also that
Mr. Broadhurst remonstrated against what some people
would call an extortionate demand, and Mr. W. was pre-
vailed on to bring the young lady's body free of expense.—
It is remarkable, that this tine young creature was found in'
no way mutilated, but her features perfectly placid, and
retaining all that beauty for which she was remarked when
living.

YORKSHIRE GAZETTE, Sept. 3.
SCARBOROUGH SEPT. I.—The theatre has been we of
the most attractive of the places of amusement to our
fashionable, during the present season. The African
Roscius has been performing, and with considerable eclat.
On the 20th ult. a young gentleman was announced u Bas.
unto, in the " Merchant of Venice," being his first ap.
pearance on any stage. This was Mr. Maddocks, son of
Mr. Maddocks, of York ; and he acquitted himself uncom-
monly well. On the following Monday, he performed
Count Calmar in the " F.xiles." He has performed several
times since, and was well received on each occasion. The
following are our latest arrivals : Lord Beresford, Dr.
Lloyd (Provost of the Trinity College, Dublin,) Rev. Mr.
and Mrs. Egerton, Mr. Becher, Mr. C. Waterton, Mr
W. H. Teak, (St. John's College, Cambridge,) Mrs.

POACHING.—We are sorry to say that the crime of
poaching has been carried on to an extent this season
of which there has been no former examples. Gangs of
fellows have gone out by night, and with immense drag nets
swept the fields of every bird in them ; and this not partially,
but generally. We are informed that hundreds of birds were
brought to this city at the close of the last, and the begin.
Ling of the present week ; which have since been forwarded
to London, so as to arrive there on the first. Three men
were fined M. each at Helmsley, on Tuesday last, for poach-
ing, but no punishment seems to have any effect in deterring
the offenders.

YORK CITY AND COUNTY BANKING CONTANT.—
A special general meeting of this company was held on
Thursday last, at the White Swan, in Pavement, for the
purpose of determining upon the expediency of rescinding a
part of the 00th section of the deed of settlement, width
relates to the discretionary power vested in the directors of
establishing branch banks at any town within twenty-five
miles of the city of York. Thomas Price, Emq. in the
Chair. Samuel Tuke, Esq after a few suitable remarks,
proposed, that that part of the section be amended by insert.
tlword ' fifty in lieu of the words' twenty.five.' A
shareholder asked, if there was any objection to substituting
the words within the county,' for the words • fifty miles.
He should not move any amendment to the original propo-
sition, being aware, that fifty miles would comprehend
nearly the whole of Yorkshire, but be merely threw out the
hint, as the company was called the city and county bank.
After a little conversation on this point, Mr. Tuts said, he
would gladly avail himself of the observations which had
lien made, and alter his resolutions accordingly. It was
then resolved that the directors have the power tommtnence
Branch Banks, at any place within the County of
York.

ANCIENT Corrtx—.on Monday morning, a stone
coffin was discovered by the workmen at HesWigton gravel-
pit. It was about four feet under the surface, and must,
of course, have laid In that situation for several centuries,
as atone coffins, which were in use by the Anglo Saxons so
early as the year 695, were obsolete about the reign of
Henry VIII. The coffin found on Monday measured five
feet eleven inches and a half in the Interior, was about two
feet five inches in depth, and four or five inches In thickness.
FATAL Accinnur.—On Wednesday night an accident,
by which two lives were lost, took place near Robin Hood's
Well. As the York and Doncaster fish waggon was des-
cending the hill, Mr. Samuel Dawson, of Doncaster, fish.
monger, and a young woman of the name of Hannah Atkin.
son, aged about 18 years, who were riding in front of the
waggon, accompanied by the driver and another individual,
were precipitated from the seat to the ground. The wheels
of the waggon passed over the head of the unfortunate fe-
male—her brains were relished out, and her death was in-
stantaneous. Mr. Dawson's left arm was btoken, and he
was otherwise so seriously injured, that after having been
with considerable difficulty removed to Robin Hood's Well,
he expired.
Citiccuv.—We hear that a match at cricket will be
played upon the Bedale cricket ground, between the Bedale
and Sheffield clubs, on Monday, the 12th Sept. We un-

THE SCIENTIFIC BIZETING..—AII this meeting ap-
ptoaches, the interest it excites increases; end we have no
doubt that all the expectations of the promoters will be
realized. it is intended to give a concert on a grand
scale, during the meeting,—and under distinguished pa-
tronage,—thus uniting the charms of music with those of
science.

A gentleman of the name of Heigham delivered a short
course of lectures on architecture this week, in the large room
of the Mechanics' Institute. They were highly interesting
and were well attended.

THE ROTHBAY CASTLE..—The number of person as•
certained to have perished in the wreck of the Rothsay, is
87, many more, however, must have been lost. With respect
to the conduct of the captain of this vessel, so severely ani-
madverted on by many persons—we have beard an account
this week, which we think reconciles it with the high As.
ratter his owners and others have given of him. A gentle-
man, residing at Heslington, sailed from Liverpool to Ban-
gor in the Rothsay Castle, about a month since. He speaks
of him in the highest terms, and says, that neither on board
the vessel nor at Bangor, could he get him to drink any
thing—not even a drop of porter. He had been a lieutenant
in the navy, and the reason he assigns for his abstinence was,
that if he got "a drop too much," it made him mad. Our
informant thinks, that there was a jovial party on board, who
forced him to drink against his better judgment, by which
means his faculties were obscured, and the dreadful este-
Mope occurred.—Fresh bodies continue to be washed op.
On the 30th, the body of Mr. Wm. Bottomley, of Roc&
dale, was cast up at Blackpool ; the features were sum.
pletely obliterated, but it was identified by au in in:
his pocket-book. A body was wailed up the same day at
Southport, and two more on Wednesday. One was that ef

STATZ or Teues.—We are sorry to say, that a heavy
owasuersial depression prevails throughout the manufac-
tub( districts of the North, affecting, in a like degree,
the woollen, linen, cotton, silk, and hardware brandies of
,the
industry. The universal complaint is. that " there is
little doing, and that little at so smdl a return that it can
scarcely be called profit." At a meeting of the master
spinners at Bolton, it hu been agreed to atop the mills
during three days in each week—Jfaede{ftekl *wrier.

the young man who on Saturday. was charged with vending
the news of the day, printed on.calico, by which trick ha
and his employers fancied they could evade the Act of Par.
Mamma against the publication of unstamped Newspapers,
was brought up for a further hearing, when, foe the townie-
' lion of the defendant, who is a tope youth. and When who
might be induced loaner into s similar. employment, Ur.
HALLS directed the clerk to read the clauses of the respec.
dye Statutes applying to the case at issue. The first was
10 Geo. 11. cap. REM. in which is is. enacted, " That any
person treading Newspapers printed on reliant, Parchment,
or paper, shall be subject to imprisonnwat fur three months.'
The neat Statute relating to the case was that of 38 Gco.
