THE NilNtftrOlr HESSE.
21110:11 RAC WILSON'S TRAVELS IN RUSSIA.
I sent a dispatch from th Minister at Copenhagen
to the Prince ot Hesse, father of the Queen of Denmark,
whO instantly'returned a polite letter, inviting me to
wait. upon him. Entering the palace, I ascended
lofty and antiquated staircase, the dirty and neglected
state of which was not calculated to impress a stranger
with an extraordinary 'respect. At the door leading to
the Prince's nparttient stood a soldier with a drawn
sabre. On being ushered into his Highness's study, I
found a venerable aid Gentleman, with a mild and be.
raevolent countenance, occupied in writing. There, was
aii expression of intelligence and penetration in the
Prince's eye, that, indicated a degree of mental energy
.aot 'very usual at so advanced a period of life, and
which almost seemed to contradict the testimony borne
;Co his ape by hi, int;wy lrcks. Well might he say,
4. Though I look old, yet I am strong sod lusty;
For in my youth I never did sipply
Hot and rebellious liquors in my blood,
Nor did I with. unh.shful fathead Woo
The means of weakness and debility :
Therefore my age is as a lusty winter,
Frosty but kindly."
He was dressed in a blue gown With a star, and Wore
military boots and spurs. The gffibility of his man-
ners. and the animation w;th which be spoke, evinced
a refined and highly cultivated. mind ; 'and Palestine
also Egypt happening t.. be touched upon among ether
topics or conversation, his Highness entered into a long
account of the ancient hieroglyphics, a subject which
he appeared tir have devoted uncommon attention.
Happening to compliment him on the fluency and
rectness with which he spoke English, he assured
`me that he had never visited this country, but his mo-
ther, the Princess Mary, daughter of our George IL
had made it a point to have all her children well is.
strutted-in that language.
The Prince of Hesse is in the vale of years, being
upwards of eighty years of age, yet in person is still,
most graceful ; his manners, although dignified, quite,
devoid of hauteur; and he stay be considered the oldest
Prince now living in Enron& , Oa taking leave of this
excellent Prince, whom I shall ever recollect with the
highest sent,ments ot esteem, he embraced me with
warmth, and n zemorning sent me a long letter on the
, subject of our conversation.

About eleven o'clock tins forenoon, a very frigl
accident. occurred at the brewery of Mr. KIRKMAN, in'
Broad-street, Blnemsisury. A labouring man, named
C,oggon, was working on the wall, and the boards upon
which .he was standing, by some unfortunate casualty,
suddenly giving way, be was precipitated from an im-
men►e height upon the pavement, and upon being
raised up by the passengers lite was found to be extinct.
He was literally dashed to pieces.
Monday. morning as the carriage of Lady SULLIVAN
was, in waiting opposite the Argyll Rooms, sor.te expert
thizi contrived to open the carriage door and steal a
velvet bag, containing a valuable gold watch, a pocket-
book containing a gold pencil-case, and several letters.
The Tolls authorised by Act of Parliament to- be
taken at the Menai and Conway bridges, were disposed
of by auction for the ensuing year, yesterday week, at
the Penrhyn Hotel. There was little competition, and
the former produced'only seven hundred pounds; being
one hundred and fifty-five less than last year; the latter
three hundred and sixty-five pounds, being five less
than last year.—Caralrrian.
During the whole of last week a murmuring against
the exercise of the Tread-mill prevailed amongst the
prisoners in the House of Correction, which at length
broke out into absolute refusal to work, and on Friday'
a special meeting of the Magistrates assembled at the
Committee-room, to investigate the circumstance, when,
after a strict examination, the ringleader was brought out
early yesterday morning, and in the presence of his con-
federates, received a flogging of about three dczen lashes.
In our last Paper we mentioned the transmission of
36 convicts from the County Gaol for the convict ship
at Cork. They were attended part of the way by seve-
ral of their relatives, the separation from ',hum ezr
hibitede scene of the most heart-rending affiiction...,
One of the convicts, named Barrett, was observed
to be overwhelmed with grief when ordered to
restore to its mother his child of three years old,
which he had carried in his arms; rye exclaimed," Oh,
GOD I
.my heart is broken," and having gone a short
di►tance, he was seized with a sudden fit, and though
medical aid was almost immediately procured. the vital
'spark was found to be extinguished.--An inquest was
held on the body, and a verdict was returned by the
Jury—" Died by the visitation of Goe."—Tirperary
