QUEENSBERRY APPEAL CAUSES.

It has been erroneously supposed that the whole of
these Causes have been remitted to Scotland. We un-
derstand that the House of Lords have only remitted
the Queensberry, or Buccleugh Causes, to be recon-
sidered And determined by the Court of Session.—
But no Order of tha House was made in the March,
or Wemyss Causes; and it is understood they are
postponed, sine die, until the Queensberry Causes shall
have been so reconsidered and determined by the
Court of Session, pursuant to the remit.

1. His Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT left Carl-
' tat- House on S tturday, about two o'clock, for the
purpose of proroguing Parliament, in the state car-
riage, drawn by eight beiutiful cream-coloured horses,
and preceded and followed by six carriages and four,
Icontaining the Officers of State. A party of the Life
'Guards lined the streets through which his ROYAL
HIWINE,S passed from Carlton House to the House
of Peers, where he arrived about half-past two o'clock.
An unusual number of Ladies were in the House,
most of whom were very superbly dressed: amongst
them was the Duchess of CUMBERLAND. The space
below the bar allotted to the strangers was crowded
with Gentlemen. His ROYAL illutiNEss was dressed
in regimentals. and appeared in excellent health Red
spirits. • He returned in the same state as he went.—
The caul le proceeded at a very slow pace, and his
ROYAL HIGIINILIA was loudly cheered both in his pas-
sage to and from the House, and bowed repeatedly
to the populace.
Yesterday about fouro'clock the PRINCE REGENT left
town for Windsor, on a visit to the QUEEN to dinner.
Yesterday the Loan CHANCELLOR and the Duke de
CHATHE had audier ces of the PRINCE REGENT previous
to his leaving town for Windsor.
The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND has left a revenue'
to his eldest son of £BO,OOO per annum; and to each
of the younger children he has bequeathed £lOO,OOO
in cash.

Earl GROSVENOR is likely to obtain an addition of
at least £20,000 a•year to his already large income,
by the recent discovery of a fine lead mine on a part
of his Lordship's estate in North Wales. The ore,
it seems, is not three hundred feet from the surface
of the earth.

The Earl and Cmuntess of LANSDALE. Lord Low-
Tim, Lady MARY LOWTHER, and Mr. and Lady
ANN BECKETT, left town on Saturday, for Paris.
The Countess of LAUDERDALE, Lady MARY and
Lady JULIA MAITLAND, and Colonel JOHN MAIT-
LAND, left Warren's Hotel, Charles-street, St. James's-
square, on Saturday, for Paris, on their way to Malta.
Two sisters of the late ever-to be-lamented
PONSONBY survive him, viE. CATHERINE, Countess tai
SHANNON, mother to the present Earl of SHANNON,
and to the late Countess of BANDON ; and FRANCES,
Baronets Lismorta, another of the present Viscount
Lismotte.

The appointment given to her Royal Highness the
Princess At.ousra, to the care of the Pheasantry at
Bushy Park, is the same as that et.joyed by Lady
GJANIICRVIE until her decease, and to which her
Ladyship WAS appointed during the administration of
her father, Lot d Noitrif.

Geneiai TuouNrom gave notice on Tuesday last,
in the House of Commons, that early in the next
Session of Parliament he should renew his Motion to
repeal such parts of the Acts of tl e 15. h and 30th'
years of the reign et CHARLES 11. AS require in cer-
tain cases declarations to be made against the belief
of transubstantiation, and asserting the worship of
the Church of Rome to be idolatrous.

A s rong contest to the Corontrship of Kest is at
this time going on. *llse election commenced on
Wednesday List, at the Town H4II, at Maicistone.—
The rival candidates are Mr OrrAWAY and Mr.
Mottsox. At the close of the poll on Thursday even-
ing, the numbers were, for the former, 1'21.5, and for
the latter, 766.

At a Court of Aldermen held on Ftiday, at Guild-
hall, Mr. JOHN PIPER was elected Keeper of the New
Prison, for Debtors, in the mai of Mr. EDWARD
KIRBY, dece..sed.

LIMERICK ELECTION.Mr. TUTHILL had a gross
majority of 23 over Major VEREKER, at the close of
the poll, on the Limerick election, on the 4th day.
KING'S THEATRE.—SAturday the Opera of La Wr-
ongful di rite, was revived, chiefly for the purpnse of
affording Signor Cattrow an opportunity of shewing
himself, before the season is closed, in the character
which he considers as his best; and certainly he never
his appeared in this country to so much advantage.
Madame CAMPORESE was allotted the arduous task of
performing the part .4 Sextus. The merit of this
lady, as a musician and actress, are now beginning
to be well understood, and it never was more conspi-
cuous than upon the present occasion. Her voice,
which in fullness and purity resembles that which
BANTI possessed, proceeds uninterruptedly from its
source, without any of those modifications, which
destroy that volume of tone which is so essentially
necessary in the formation of a great singer. Ma-
dame FODOR is already well known in this Opera ;
her opening duet with Madame Cast voitEsE was deii-
ciously sung by Witt, and deservedly encored. The
performances throughout were much applauded.
VAUXHALL.—These delightful Gardens have had
to boast, during the last fortnight, most successful
and brilliant nights. On Friday evening we noticed,
among the distinguished visitors,
The Marquis of Bath, 'Vlarchioness of Winchester, Earl of
Blessiugton Viscount Falmouth, Coantases at lichester, Shrews •
bury, Sheffield, and Shannon, Lady Harriet Yalta, bir Jam
Frederick, Colonel Gordan, lite. Ete. &c.
FLOOD UPON THE THASIM.•—.THE great flood upon
the Thame, within the last few dip, has been mis-
takenly attributed to the late rains. We regret to
state that it has been caused by the bursting of a
large Reservoir, attached to the Canal, in North-
amptonshire; and which, coming in contact with
some small streams running into the 'flame, has
poured an immense deluge of water upon the line of
that River, flooding a great extent of beautiful
meadow land, ripe for the scythe, from the borders
if Derbyshire, through the suburbs of Tainworth,
Hopwas, Colesltill, itc. to the vicinity of Birming-.
:lam. The injury sustained by such a large range
if fine grass crops, must be very considerable The
!'rent, the Dove, and other rivers upwards, are
vithin their channels, and the hay harvest, which is
nonstant beyond all precedent, and partially com-
re:nced, promises well at present.
