COPENHAGEN, Sm. 15.

On the Bth of this month, while the moon shone in
full splendour, an aurora borealis, of extraordinary
beauty, was observed all over Denmark, which is ex-
tremely rare at this season of the year, and is supposed
to presage a severe winter.

The neighbourhood of Ludgate-hill was much en.
livened this morning by the presence of two Royal
carriages, containing the Queen of Wuarzungttcr the
Princess AUGUSTA, and their attendants. The Royal
Party proceeded to the shop of Messrs. RUNDELL and
BRIDGE'S, goldsmiths to use KING, where they! re-
mained upwards of an hour, viewing the wonders of
this the most brilliant establishment of the kind in the
world. Her MAJESTY experienced considerable diffi-
culty in reentering her carriage, owing to the number
of persons who had assembled ; but was loudly greeted,
both on her arrival and departure.
Viscount DUDLEY and WARD came to town yesterday
morning from his seat at Roehasnpton. Prince Ennanasr, the
Austrian Ambassador, had a long conference with his Lordship at
the Foreign Office.
Dispatches were received yesterday at the Office of
the Secretary of State for the Colonial Department, from Sir Nu r.
Cawraut, the Governor of Sierra Leone.
The Marquis de PALEEILLA. the Portuguese Ambas-

His MAJESTY, we understand, has directed Lord
°mann to offer an &Mom to Lord CAWDOZ—an act of Royal
condescension, the more gracious and liberal, because perfectly
unsolicited and unexpected by his Lordahlp.--Cambrien.
We can never sufficiently extol the benevolence and
good heart of his Masassrr, who, with that feeling fur which he Is
so distinguished, has paid the legacies. bequeathed by the late
Duchess of Toax to -her Royal Highness's old servants, all of
whom the Duke had retained in his service till his death, paying
them regularly the interest in addition to their wages. This will
considerably ease the demand upon the late Duke's estate. His
Kumr has also provided, in the handsomest manner, for nearly
all the aid servants of the beloved Duke.

The High Bailiff has received the following official

The Earl of HAanowey is now suffering the eff..cts of
a fall from his horse. The accident betel his Lordship on Saturday
last. F. Huonas, Esq. and Mr. R. HUGHLS. of Stafford, attended
his Lordship without delay, and found that, although rather a vio-
lent concussion of the frame had been experienced, yet no fracture
had taken place. His Lordship, we ate happy to announce, isin a
gradually improving state.
MANCHUTZtt MUNCALS.—The directors of this
institution have gratified the subscribers by getting up two excellent
concerts during the last week. On both occasions the room was
crowded, and the i ei formances, with few exceptions, were of a i
superior character. As a warrant for first-rate talent, we need
only mention the names of Signor ox Beam, Coirom, Glosatat,
and of Mesdames CORNEGA and AYTOI4 The last three are strangers
here, but (if we may judge from the reoeption they met with) are
not likely to temain so.

man came to invite me to his house :—' I have,' says be, a picture

SANGFROID. —Sir THowes Mosaic), present Governor
of Madras, is a man of saturnine temperament, seldom nskibg a
question, and seldom answering one. At Madras they have the
following anecdote respecting him afloat :—lt seems that he knew
by private letters, at least two mootbs babes it poi4i,a7 oo-
flounced, that he bad been made a Baronet ; his Lady, however,
had net been favoured with the slightest intimation of this event,
and so reading a newspaper one day, she exclaimed—" My dear, I.
see you are a Baronet!"—" Humph! my dear, I could have told
you that long ago."—" Then, my dear, why did not you tell me?"
—" Humph! 'cause I forgot t."l—Lherary Gazette.

The accounts front the manufacturing districts are
extremely satisfactory. The measures proposed by Mr.
IiIISICISSON, and adopted by Parliament, work well,
and, contrary to the predictions of those who pronounced
them Ut"pian, and calcula ed to ,ruin what they were
intended to benefit and protect. The silk trade Hon-
' tithes, and the manufacturers have proved that they are
able to compete with foreigners in every particular, and
I'm surpass even those at Lyons in texture, and in the
elegance of their patterns, and the brilliancy and beauty
of their colours. The silk furniture manufacturing for
Windsor Castle exhibits, in a striking degree, our su-
periority in every branch of this beautiful ; and
as.the laudable encouragement given to manufactures
by his MAJESTY h s been followed by numercies orders
from the Nob,lity, thousands of silk weavers wbo wanted
work are now in full empl while the manufac-
turers are receiving orde, s daily from shopkeepers and
others for their winter stock. The importa.ion of fo-
reign silks has diminished considerably, as the demand
for our holm goods is increasing, and will leave our
manufacturers in full possession of the home and pther
markets. The accounts from Manchester and other
manufacturing districts are equally satisfactory.

THE LORD HIGH ADMIRAL.
CHATHAM, Earansy

Their Royal Highnesses dined, this day, with a select party at
the commissioner's. They attended Divine Service In the Dock-
yard Chapel. We observed, in the Commissioner's pew, their
Royal Highnesses the Princess Carlotta, Miss Fitsclarence, with
the Commissioner, and his three amiable daughters ; and io other
parts of the Chapel, Lord Farnborough, Admiral the Hog. Sir H.
Blackwood, Sir Archibald arriitle, Si! Robert Barlow, Sir Byam
Martin, Mr. Croker, Ste. rec. After service, their Royal H ith.
011111e$ returned to the Commissioner's house, and having partaken
of refreshments provided for the occasion, the Royal Party em.
barked in the Port Admiral's barge, and visited his Majesty's ship
Prince Regent, and the other ships in Commission : and, at half
past three, returned to the Commissioner's, in the Dock-yard,where
his Royal Highness held a Levee for Naval Officers, which was
numerously attended.
Mourtar Renault:l.—This morning her Royal Highness the.
Duchess of Clarence, accompanied by the Princess Carlotta and
Miss Fitzclarence, left the Commissioner's bowie in the Dockyard,
and proceeded to Cobham Hai, the mat of Earl Darnley. The
departure washonoured by the firing of a Royal salute, similar to
that which announced her arrival. As the Royal Party proceeded
through the Dock-yard, the workmen ranged on either side, under
the ntanagement of the head officers of the yard. loudly cheered her
Royal Highness, who appeared quite delighted with these repeated
manifestations of affection. Her Royal Highness ternary Cob-
ham Hall until Wednesday morning, when she will agaime to
Chatham, fur the purpose of presenting the Royal Warp Corm
with their nee colours.
About twelve o'clock, the Lord High
,Admiral regimented hie in-
spection of the Yards, through the entire of which he was conducted
by Mr. Commissioner Cunningham, the Admiral -of the Station,
Sir H. Blackwood, Bt.c. His Royal Highness then ptomeded en
board the different vessels of war on the station, and was received
in each by a Royal salute of 21 guns. His Royal Highness ex•
pressed himself pleased with the condition or the vessels inspected.
The yards of each ship were manned as the Lord High Admiral
entered through their respective ports royal, and to the spectators
ashore this presented a most beautiful appearance.
The kindness and affability of the Lord High Admiral were most
conspicuous on Saturday last. On his Royal Highneu's return from
inspecting the Royal George, preview to its launch, an old and
weather beaten tar, anxiously waiting for the purpose, with his
hat to a proper level, presented a petition, which, in the most con-
descending !runner, was received by his Royal Highness. who, withi
a &ratios& acknowledgment, returned the veteran's salute.
