MARIETTA.

The following is the Letter of M. Marietta to his
Son, delivered by Mr. Brougham to the Earl of Lis er-

•• Du&i Bor,

Milan. Aug. 41, IWO.

The object of this my letter is to inform you, that it
has been written to Colonel Brown, here, that you be-
haved yourself ill relatively to the things which interest
the Royal Court and the Princess of !Wales; for whirls
reason you are watched to such a degree, that it has
been in agitation that a command, called the Alien Bill,
should be signified to yon to leave the country, and
especially for the express reason—that you have sought
to discover. from this Mr. Sacchini, Milanese, what he
had deposed against the above Royal Princess. I inti•
mated to the Colonel the improbability of your med-
dling in such things, as notch on acconnt of contrary
inclination, as of your prudent and honourable mode of
thinking. I also iusagined that that must arise from some
jealousy of your friendship with Vassali ; and as I can-
not dosbt, in the least, that you should have departed a
moment from your wise system, I advise you to conduct
yourself in such a manner, with respect to these Royal
differences, that no one may have it in his power even
to imagine any thing reproachable on your part, whilst
you have not lost sight of tier Milanese proverb—' He
prho serres at Court dies ea straw.'

" Endeavour, rather, that we may be paid what the
above Royal Princess owes us for her commission of
Turkish articles--paid fur by us and not reitubnr•ed to
us. I wait your answer on that subject, such as may be
exhibited to the above-named Colonel, &v. tec.
" Yoar affectionate FATHER."

In the year 1;1.9, the great eclipse was annNlar at
Edinburgh. A number of scientific men from London
assembled there to niake their observations on the occa
sion, and among them was 01IP who was accompanied by
his wife. Edinburgh was not then noted fur the ele-
gance by which it is at present distinguished ; and the
lady, who previously to her arrival there, had seen no
other country, was prejudiced against every thing she
met with in the northern metropolis. On the day of the
Eclipse, the apparatus of the astronomers was arranged
on the platform of the Castle, which commands one of the
richest and sulpha:test views in Europe ; and ivhen the
Eclipse was central the conowmtling officer, who enter-
tained the party with a cold collation, directed a cannot-
to be discharged from the Illalf Moon Battery, to an-
nounce the anzionsly looked-for critical moment to the
gazers at the spectacle in the City. Every one was sur-
prised and eager to ask the fair Euglish visitor, who
assumed the airs of travelled consequence, what she
thoughd of the sight. "Oh r. replied she, in her usual
tone, " it is well enough for a Seoreh Eclipse!"

LAN C 45 TZIt ..101$11E% SEPT. s.—The business of this
Assize is nearly at an end. It is expected to te eeee inate
in the course of the tnorning. The causes have been
of the most unimportant character, with the exception
of one which was an action for a breach of promise of
marriage, brought by Mrs. Beattie, a widow lady at
Moors* hs Cheshire, against Mr. Samuel Pearson, a
widower, of Macclesfield: the case occupied several
hours ; the promise to marry was noequivocally proved ;
in short, the day was appointed, and every preparation
made, when the defendant abruptly refused to fulfil
his engagement. The disappointment affected the
lady to Isola a degree, that mental derangement was
the consegnesce, and she wrs obliged to be placed in a
a situation of restraint for a period of more than three
weeks. The infidelity of the defendant was aggra-
vated by his having behaved in a similar manner to-
wards another lady, and by u boast dictated by his
silly vaulty, that with a month's fair courtship, he
would undertake to Win any woman's heart. The
Jury convicted his folly by awarding damages against
him to the amount of Fuvr Thorsemd Periods.

Limns, Satre. 4.—A Meeting lans been held at this
place to-day, consisting of about 5,0011 or 6,0110 indivi-
duals, to consider the propriety of presenting an Address
of Condolence and of Congratulation to the Queen.
was called by a monber *1 Householders, who signified
their intention to the Mayor, and received from bias,
though not his assent, an assurance that the Meeting
should be in no way disturbed. It was held, therefore,
In the open air, at the outskirts of the town. The Re-
solutions wire worded with great seal in the cause of
the Queen ; and the Addresses, one of whir+ was from
the male and the other from the female inliabitapts of
the town, were of an extremely affectionate and loyal
east. They were carried with the utmost unanimity on
-the putt of the Meeting, and ordered to be signed by
the Chairman, and transmitted to London for presen-
tation by Alderman Wood and Mojor Cartwright to her
Majesty.
