:hods.
The Marquis DOURO arrived in town on Tuesday
evening from a visit to his father, at Walmer-castle, Kent.
The Lords of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy
Council held a meeting yesterday morning in the Privy Council
Chamber. Those present were—Lord We XFORDi the Judge of the
Admiralty Coast, and the Right Hon. H. Ectscre. The appeal of
Sayers m Whitfield from St. Vincent's, which had occupied their
Lordships at the previous meetings, was resumed. The respondents
were heard on their exceptions to the master's report. One of the
excefttions was, that the salary of $OOl. per annum charged in the
appellants' accounts, as paid to Messrs. Hush and C. Sayers for their
services, as anoraks to the estate in the island of St. Vincent, toge-
ther with the requisites of residence and servants oo the estate, was
too large in comparison with that paid to the former managers.
which was much smaller, without any advantages. Lord Weenies,
In expressing their lordships' opinion that the exception should be
allowed, observed, that by the evidence it appeared that it was
not a question of quantum mend, as to the services of the attor-
neys, as, by the report of the master, he appeard to have con-
sidered it by allowing the mortgagees 7001. per annum in the Sc.
count as paid to the attorney ; whereas, according to the evidence,
but 4001. bad been paid yearly to Mr. Sayers. The master ought to
have decided by the facts. Another exception was, that the ac-
counts rendered by the appellants dike produce of the estates were
not supported by the affidavits of the principals, Messrs. Sayers and
Gordon. but merely by those of their clerks, who could not person-
ally be informed of the correctness of certain of the items ; and also
that. while it could be proved that all the other estates in the islands
produced 194 per hogshead for their sugar, the respondents gave
credit in their accounts at the rate of 131. per hogshead. Lord
Wynford, on the part of the court, decided that the exception should
be allowed, and the parties sent back to the Master to inquire fur-
ther into the accounted the sales of sugar. The last exception was
to a transaction which was alleged by the respondents to be usu-
rious. This was not allowed. The exceptions to the report having
been concluded on the pan of the respondents, the exceptions by
the appellants to the same report came on for baring. Five excep-
tions were argued before their Lordships—the third was allowed,
but without costs; the fourth was compromised by an agreement
between the parties. At four o'clock their Lordships adjourned
the further bearing of the case:

DISCOVERY OF A £lOO BANK-NOTE.-011 Tues-
day morning, a man named Childs, one of the labourers employed
in clearing away the earth and rubbish at the foundation of the
bundle's recently pulled down between Denmark Court and the
Strand, struck the prop& of his pickaxe through a piece of lows
paper, and which, io all probability. would have shared the com-
mon fate of the rubbish. had not,his auention been arrested by a
peculiar black mark at one end, which induced Mm to care-
fully release the paper from the instrument, but Dot being able
to read, be was at a loss to ascertain the exact value of the paper,
untU observing a gentleman who daily frequents the ground in
search of antiquities. he showed it to him, and to his great our-
Ow was told that it was an " bunched pound note," a real
Abraham Newland, bearing date I 7911. Childs posted off with his
best speed sp the Bank of England, where, to his great disappoint-
meat and mongcstlon, be discovered that it had been stopped
about thirty years back, upon an affidavit of the person who
lost
it, and had been paid under a bond of indemnity. Shortly after-
wards, at samba pan of she ground. one of the workmen dis-
covered a quantity of wine in plat bottles, which proved to be of
excellent quality.

LITERATURE, the FINE ARTS, DRAMA, 4.c.

I shall not describe the particulars of the obsequies
which took place upon this melancholy occasion (du deeds V the
Dues DE Bonne). The affliction of the Parisians was profound :
it was shared by all France. All the different bodies of the State
came to lay at the feet of the King the expression of their grief
and their attachment. Their addresses were in general noble and
affecting. The King answered with an admirable dignity—" I
see with pleasure," said he to the Deputation from the Chamber '
14 Deputies, that the Chamber is disposed to concur in my
views in this unfortunate circumstance. A mad In heart. a King
in duty,let it not be doubted that I adopt the necessary measures
to preserve France from the danger which the deed of this day
gives me but too much reason to fear."
To the Municipal Body of the City of Paris be answered : "It
is only the love of my subjects which can In any way alleviate the
profound grief I feel.
The day after the assassination of the Duke drk Berry, a most
heart-breaking scene took place at the Tuileries : the Duke de
Bourbon came to offer his consolations to Monsieur. This vene-
rable personage was conjured to adjourn an interview which could
not GU to make his heart bleed afresh. " No," was his reply, " I
am more able !ban any other individual to console my Cousin in a
misfortune which I have expel kneed before him." But the doors
of the apartment were hardly opened, when the strength of the
Duke de Bourbon failed him : Nlensieur threw himself forward
to support him; and these two unfortunate Fathers remained
a long while clasped in each others arms. The Duke de Bour-
bon went afterwards to Louis XVIII. The composure of
the King tranquillised him a little : the conversation was calm, hut
often interrupted by the tears of the aged father of the Duke
d'Engkien. On a sudden, he remembered that the Cabinet in
which they then were, was the very one where the sentence of
death bad been signed against his son ; at this horrible recollection,
he could no longer retain his feelings ; he got up, pressed in silence
the hand of Louis XVIII. and withdrew.

The King, besides the grief which the death of Isis nephew
caused him, found himself in the most cruel embarrassment : all
the Royalists of every description, the Members of his Family,
pressed round the throne, crying aloud, " Justice! vengeance for
the assassination of the Duke de Berry!" But on whom ought
this vengeance to fall? The emigrants accused the proprietors of
national estates Weis nationory):—the clergy, the incredulous and
the philosophers ;—the ultra royalists accused the ►iberals en masse,
and insisted almost on another Saint Bartholomew.—" Justice
shall be done," answered Louis XVIII. s• but let us first find out
the guilty. How punish, without knowing them? Assist me to
discover them, and the moiety of the Prince shall be avenged.
But don't ask proscriptions of me : justice punishes, but does not
proscribe; and even grief does not excuse injustice."—Mertsears

George 111., King of England, died 29th January, 1520. When
this intelligence was announced at Court, I was with his Majesty.
" George III." said I to Louis XVIII. " has at length termi-
nated a very troublesome career. lie laboured under an aberra-
tion of the mind." " His reign," rejoined Louis XVIII. 0 has
resolved a great problem, namely, the advantage of a Giusti-
tutioual Monarchy. England was never so powerful as within
the last thirty years—that is, since the mental aberration of
George III." " Would you by that insinuate, Sire." I asked,
smiling, " that all Kings ought to be insane?" '• No. cer-
tainly not, Madam ; no. I only wanted to show you that that
equilibrium of various powers has checked all ambitious views
at a period when they might have been dangerous. Fancy
to yourself an insane King in an absolute monarchy. Look at
Charles VL ;—he had an adulterous wife ; brothers and relations
disputed his authority ; a foreign and a civil war raged in France ;
—there never was a period when the people were inure unbappy,and
the throee so near its overthrow. 'that was a fine time tor abso-
lutism. The English Constitution has prevented the reign of
Charles VI. from being renewed by George 111. He was," con-
tinued Louis XVIII. " a good natured King—a farming King !
possessing few Royal virtues, hut all those belonging to a
domestic life. He loved his consort like a citizen : be che-
rished his children, for which some made an ungrateful return : it
might even be said that his alienation of mind proceeded from his
paternal tenderness."—" How so, Sire ?"—" One of his daughters,
Princess Amelia, was in the last agonies of death when George 111.
came to embrace her on her death-bed: she put on his linger a
ring on which she set great value. The unhappy father under-
stood at once what this present meant. He could no longer
subdue the grief he felt : his head, already weak, was effected—his
reason abandoned him altogether."—" He must have been adored,"
said I, " by all his subjects!"—" Yes—he ought to have been so;
and yet his life was four times attempted!"—" It is horrible!"—
" What is singular in all this," rejoined Louis, " is, that this un-
fortunate Prince invariably implored forgiveness for his assassins,
saying they were inane."—Memoirs dine Fames de Qualige Sur
