and is the eldest son of the Duke of Orleans, and heir to his title,
as well as the bulk or his immense fortune—a fortune estimated at
half a million sterling per annum, and which surpasses, we believe,
that of any subject in Europe. He speaks English with consider-
able ease and correctness, a very rare attainment for a Frenchman
at hie age, and educated in Pails.

The family of Orleans is descended from Philip Duke of Orleans,
brother of Louis XIV. King of France. His son was Regent of
France during the minority of Louis XV. and died in 1722. Ile
was succeeded by his son, Philip Duke de Chartres, afterwards
Duke of Orleans, and he by Philip his son, who married the daugh-
ter of the Duke de Penthievre, a Prince of the blood royal, by
whom he had three sons and a daughter. The Duke of Orkatts
perished during the Revolution in France, in 1795, and was suc-
ceeded by his Chita son, Loui. Philip, present Duke of Orleans,
who was lung an exile from his native country, and resided for
several years in England, till the restoration of the family of Bour-
bon on :he abdication of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1815. The Duke

INFLUENCE OF TILE FRENCH CUE/WT.—The Ga-

Clergy have lost their influence in public instruction. The fol-

The late King was very partial to Eton College. He
used often to write to the bead-muter, to obtain a half holiday for
the boys, and invariably recommended to the Noblemen about
Court to send their sons to be educated there. His Majesty used
to relate the following characteristic anecdote :—" Some years
past I saw two of the urchins shooting in my preserve • both
shirked in a ditch ; gave them a view-hollow ; I caught them, and
took away• their guns. Didn't know me; took me for a keeper,
and offered me a half.crown to let them off, and said they would
tell the King, who, they were sure, would not mind their killing a
bare. Frightened them out of their wits when I said who I was,
and that I should complain to the Doctor (the muter), instead of
which I sent them a few pheasants and a hare, upon their pro-
mising not to poach again; and they kept their word. Both Peers
—both Peers now, and two of the strictest game-preservers in
England," concluded the King, laughing ; " a proof of the saying,
that an old poacher makes the hest gamekeeper, eh ?"—filadser
