PARTIES IN FRANCE AND THEIR ORGANS OF

THE PRESS.

There are three principal iiaitiWin revolutionising France—
the Royalists, the Liberals, and the Juste Milieu—which are
each d►vided as follows :

" 1. The Royalists of the elder and legitimate branch of the
Bourbons, and advocates of the ultra or Polignac system. They
are advocated by La Quotidienne.
"2. The Royalists, partizans of the Duke de Bordeaux and
of universal suffrage, of which the Gazette de France is the organ.
" 3. The Royalists, neither of the Quotidienne nor Gazette
system, but who wish to have ' Young Henry' as their King,
with a reasonable proportion of liberty.
" 4. The Liberals, represented by La Tribune, who desire the
Republic, one and indivisible.
• 5. Those who, with Le National, dream of a_federative Re-
public a l'Americaine.
" 6. Those who, with the Courrier Francais. long for a bond
.fide Citizen Monarchy, surrounded by democratical institutions,
a la Fayette.
_ _ _

"7. Chose who, represented by the Constitutionnel and
Journal du conslierce, hold to the existing Government, with a
liberal Chter.' _ _ _

" 8. The Juste Milieu of the Doctrine, a pedantic, theoretic
party, who were liberal with the Bourbons, and are now Royal-
ists with the Revolutionists of July. They pretend to possess
all the talent. .

" The Juste Milieu of the Tiers Parti, who want neither talent
nor reputation ; but have not yet been able to gain the summit
of power, which they desire to have exclusively. Talleyrand is
favourable to this party, of which Dupin is the head. Its prin-
cipal organ is Le Temps.
"10. the quand-rueme Ministerialtsts, who have but little
opinion, but a very large appetite for the loaves and fishes.
" 11. The Bonapartists, playing their last stake.
" 12. '1 he Politiques (or policy party,) who, like religion, are
many.—These manage so as to serve the powers that be, and
never to compromise themselves with any of the powers that
may be.."

The Trinity Board have deteimined to erect a lighthouse at
St. Anthony's Point, at the entrance of Falmouth harbour, and
their surveyor has been directed to prepare a plan and estimate.
The Drapers' and the Ironmongers' Companies, it is under-
stood, have determined to follow the example of the Merchant
Tailors', by refusing to submit their affairs to the investigation
of the Corporation Commissioners.
The Corporation Commissioners opened their inquiry at Hull
on Wednesday, when the Town-clerk read a protest from the
Corporation against the legality of the Commission, but at the
same time stating that it was not the wish of the Corporation
to prevent any of their officers from giving such information as
might be required.
Lord Napier has received the valuable appointment at Can-
ton, in China, fixed by the legislative arrangements of last
session of Parliament. The salary is 16000 per annum.

Major-General Sir Amos Norcote and his Aide-de-Camp,
Lieutenant Norcote, leave town on Friday morning next, to
embark and proceed in the Cruizer brig of war to Jamaica.
They had the honour of dining with their Majesties at Brigh-
ton, on Saturday last, and of taking leave of the King in the
evening.—London Paper of Wednesday.
The John Bull, East India paper, gives a melancholy account
of the late storm at Mungleghaut, which appears to be, and we
hope will prove, greatly exaggerated. It states the loss of boats
and other small craft at 20,000, of human lives 300,000.

At the conclusion of a trial at the late Assize, Mr. Justice
Gaselee said he hoped that the magistrates generally would en-
force the observance of regular hours at the beer-shops ; and he
trusted that the officers of excise would watch the proceedings at
those houses, which were not altogether under the control of the
magistrates. Most of the cases at this assize, his lordship said,
had originated or been matured at either beer-shops or public-
bouses.—Chelinsfiyrd Chronicle.

ROBBERY AT KENSINGTON PALAeE.—Last week, James
Gray, who has for some time past been in the service of his
Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, absconded from Kensing-
ton Palace, taking with him about four dozen of silver table
spoons and forks. He is a native of Salisbury, about thirty,
years of age, of fair complexion, and about five feet eight
inches in, height.
The itev. Mr. Rice,- who died a few days ago, at his house,
in the Royal Crescent, at Brighton, was a renowned Biblioman-
ist. His collection of early English Poetry includes some of
the most rare gems, and others that are unique. Mr. Rice gave
£5O for Anthony Munday's "Banquet of Daintie Conceits," a
thin quarto, consisting of 72 pages, purchased from the Bibli-
°theca Anglo-Peetica.
We understand that process has . issued against Mr. Gully,
M.P., in an action of assault committed ou the person of Mr.
ltidsdale, his brother sportsman and quondam friend. Mr. G.
it appears, notwithstanding the multiplicity of his senatorial
duties, has not altogether forgotten the use of the pugilist's as
well as the orator's weapon—the arm. A diversity of opinion
exists as to the "gentlemanly" conduct of either party.
BURGLARY.—On Monday morning last, at an early hour, the
dwelling-house of Mr. William Turner, merchant,-Great Homer-
street, was burglariously entered, and the thieves succeeded in
carrying away plate and other property to a considerable
amount. Amongst the most valuable property stolen was a
silver teapot and cream jug, masked M. 8., a silver bowl, part
of a punch ladle, silver sugar tongs, W. M. T., a dessert spoon,
and two German silver sauce ladles. A quantity of wearing
apparel was also stolen, and the burglars gut clear off.
4179 rupees is the amount of the subscriptions at Calcutta, on
the 22d of July, towards the erection of a monument at Edin
burgh to the memory of the late Sir Walter Scott, Bart. It-
has been also resolved that a bust of the lamented baronet b e
placed in the Town-hall.
AN ARTFUL QUESTION.—Dominico, the harlequin, going to
see Louis XIV, fixed his eyes on a dish of partridges. if he
King, who was fond of his acting, said, "Give the dish to Do-
minico."4l," And the partridges too, Sire?" Louis, penetrat-
ing his art; replied, And the partridges too." The dish was
gold.
DON-KEY'S DISAPPOINTMENT.--We understand Sir John
Key is quite inconsolable, because he has not succeeded ip get-
ting the Governorship of Newgate. Weare really sorry for the
Man to lose his chance of two good things in so short a space of
time. However, there was no coping with Cope. Witli_great
sincerity we wish the Baronet better luck next time. We do
not think, however, he would have been quite at home in the
Governor's h6nse.—Age.

GENERAL POST-OFFICE.—In consequence of the very bois-
terous weather during the last week, the following notice was
posted up yesterday at the General Post-office :—" His Majes-
ty's steamer Lightning, with the Lisbon mail of the 3d instant,
has been detained at Fahnonth by stress of,w-sather ; his Ma-
jestv's steamer Colombia, with the Cadiz and Mediterranean
mail of the 2d instant, detained by stress of weather ; his Ma-
jesty's brig Reindeer, with the Madeira, Brazil, and Buenos
Ayres mail of the 3d instant, detained by stress of weather ; his
Majesty's brig Thai; with the American and West India mail
of the 4th instvt, detained by stress of weather."
The British government has just adopted a measure which
still greattyferrlitate the--navigation of the Sound, - It is well-
known that, during the prevalence of certain winds it
is im-
possible to double the point of land on which stands the fortress
of Cionburg, and on this account there is a vast assemblage of
vessels waiting for a change in their favour. This inconveni-
ence will now be remedied by stationing a steam-boat so as to
be always ready to tow the vessels through the narrow channel
which runs by the fortress, and thus merchant ships will be re-
lieved from botlf delay and danger.

On dit that the fountain of honour, our liege Lord William the
Fourth, is about to elevate to the ducal dignity the following
worthy nobles :—The Marquis Wellesley to be Duke of
Dublin; Marquis of Lansdowne to be Duke of Kerry' and Earl
Fitzwilliam to be Duke of Rockingham. It will be noticed
these creations, if they take place, will he all Irish Dukedoms.
That Old Footle eminently merits his, will be admitted on all
sides. Who is his heir-apparent?—lt is honouring ould Erin,
certes, in elevating to the ducal dignity such leviathan absentees
as the Marquis of Lansdowne and the Earl Fitzwilliam ! We
should like to hear how Daniel O'Connell will relish Lord
Lansdowne's title of Duke of Kerry—the county where he, Dan,
is lord of the ascendant; however, he may console himself with
the fact that he is the agitator of all Ireland.—Age.
The Alltion of Monday says—" Some of the officers of the
Bankrupt Court lately waited upon Lord Brougham, to repre-
sent that the quantity of business there was so small as not to
furnish sufficient to defray the expenses of the establishment.
The noble lord's remark in reply to this statement was laconic
and gentlemanly-4 It is all those damned attorneys!' 'No, my
Lord,' observed the deputation, it is not the attorneys; it is
the merchants; who are so indignant at the plan of paying five
per cent. to an individual, for doing what they themselves
would willingly do for, nothing, that they rather prefer a deed
of composition, however unsatisfactory or defective, to making
the debtor a bankrupt; and the consequence is that the Judges
are not supplied with business enough to occupy their time.'
quoth the Chancellor, `they shall go circuit, and assist
the Commissioners of the Insolvent Court in their vocation.'
The new court seems to work well!"

During several days past, a report has been in circulation,
which seems to gain additional credit, that three vessels, now
lying in the river, (two of them powerful steamers of the first
class,) have been purchased by Don Miguel's agents in this
country, for the service of that " individual." One of these
vessels was formerly bargained for by the same parties; but the
transaction was broken off owing to-Miguel's reverses, and the
consequent decline of his credit. -It•would appear, however,
that he has by some stratagem " raised the wind," his agents
being now " flush" of the " sinews of war," and making large
purchases of munitions, &c., in the English market, for the use
of his troops in Santarem. Amongst the alleged orders given
1.7 the agents, four thousand great coats are said to form one.
'Die vessels alluded to, it is further understood, are to be
fully manned and armed for the better protection of the
contemplated supplies in their conveyance to the shores of
Portugal. Napier, doubtless, will keep " a sharp look-out" fir
this new adventure ; and, as four thousand great-coats (got
up at the expense of the enemy) would (in this cold
weather) form a handsome " Christmas offering" to Don
Pedro, he may have the pleasure of presenting them to him,
for " the better comfort." of her Majesty Dontia Maria's troops
during their winter campaign.
