The Times, 1824-10-02T00:00:00

The French have enclosed a largc plot exclusively for themselves; it is gaily laid out, decorated with flowers and everg-rcens, as if to mock the corruption it is intended to honour. In an adjoining field is allotted the resting place of the English: it is filled with the bones of our countryinen. 'TShere is a simplicity suited to the place, and consonant with the British claracter. There was no weeping willow, no evergreen, to awaken an affected sensi- bility-the long grass wound about the tomb and a plain slab rc- corded the name and age of the deceased. The names of some are the following :- Mrs. Gertrude Phillipine King, daughter of the late Baron de Rutzleben, die( Alarch 29, 1823. Elizabeth, Countess of Glencairn, daughter of Hlenry Daniel Ers- kin2, Earl of Elgin, died May 17, 1820. George Peter, fourth son of Peter Mloore, AM.P., Louden, died June24, 1824. SirArthur Forbi died February 8, 1823. Major.General Isaac Finling, lst Grenadier Guards, died Aug, 8, l8W2. Sir Isaac Page, Bare., of the Royal Fuzileers, died on the 20th of June, 1824. In a plain tomb the remainis of the once gay a-d dissipated But- Ikr Danvers are laid. He closed a life of pleasure, embittered only by domestic sorrows, arising from his own intemperate conduct, at Bouilugne, on the 28 th of June, 1820. No small degree of interest was excited by the following iascrip- tion, and by learning the accident which it records - " Sacred to the memory of the most beloved E,nily, Coantess de Very, eldest daughter of the late Charles Locke, Esq., aat Cecilia, h,is wife, who met hier death by an afflicting accident iin the streets of Boulogne, at a quarter before 4 on Thursday, Sept. 19, 1822, at the age of 25 rearg." This un;fortunate lady was an English woman of great beauty and accomplishment, married to the Count de Very a French gentleman of consideration. She guffered a great deal on bor first conf.nement, and her life was for some time despaired of, but youthl and s good constitutien bore her up, and she gradually recovered. The very first day she was able to take the air, her light carriage was rune down by one of the heavy waggons in the Rue des Veillards-the horse having thrown the driver, and set off at speed from the Upper Town, down thc stcep hill which connects it with the Ihirbour. At the bottom of the hill it came in contact with and overturned the carriage of the Countess, and the ill-fated lady was killed on the spot. TRf EBGLISH CEMETERY AT BOULOGNP.

We contented ourselves yesterday with a simple eentra- diction of a paragraph contained in an - cvening paper, re- spectinig the arrival of the Columbws from Canada. We had.then.noidea that-auy gobe.rtouclie of the- daily press was.eindweed with. ailiceient credulity to believe the ae- count, and tharefore passed it by witbout pointing out its absurdity. As however, we fliil this paper has several followers among the mnorning journals, we think it becomning in us, as the imparti recordlers of eo- tednporarv rumours, to insert a text wlich Baron Alun- chauseni would not have rejectcd from his Canada or Eng- lish travels. "ARRIVAl, OF TIE3 COlU,MBUS. "EXTttACT OF A PRllVATE LETTFn. " Deal, Wednesday afternoon- Oct. 27, MU24. The post just going, only leaves mc tine to inMom you that the Anmerican ship Cotumbut is this moment arrived in the Downs, and safely anchored near the Raminliey gunrd-ship, which, thlough a first-rate, appears alongside this Leviathan of ihe New WYorld no larger than a cock-boat. When the Coht&ntbzs first hove in sight, her hull resembledl altoating iland, aid lher maste chlrch steeples. She is to be towed up to Deptford by steam-boats, and, to avoid the dangerous and circuitous passaige round the North Forcland, it is proposed to tale her lhrouigh the ncew cat from Sandwich to Whit- stable." This Yankee Delos, or American floating island, must have appeared an alarming sight to the people of Deal, and as the post calne away too early for the ministerial paper's receiving a faithful account of it, we should like to see the despateh transmnitted from that port to the Secre- tary of the Admiralty on that occasion. As one of our first rates appeared beside it no larger than a cock-boat, anm its masts scetned as large as steeples, our colemporary ought to have pointed ont to the Government, the serious dan- ger of allowing such a republican Nlewfoundland to be moored alongsi(de of our monarchical little island. The story of the Norwegian Kraken, which " lay floating many a rood," with anteunce as long as the masts of ships, was scarcelya match for thisship with mastslike church steeples. Sancho Panza, in travellitng through thle air on the steed Clavileno, elias Wooden or Deal Peg, " saw the earth no bigger than a grain of mustard-seed, and the men that walked upon it as little as hazel-nuts. So you may guess," says the Squire, " how high we must have soared by this time."

IMIr. O'CONNELL bas, it appears, exlposed to his brethren of the Catholic Association the symbols ana mysterious watchwords of the Orangemen. They are of sanguinary and execrable import, if the gentleman has not been misin- formed; and there is, in that case, little wonder that the Orange Associations should almost deify Afderman BRAD- L,EY KING for having, by his desperate obstinacy, withheld such secrets from the ear of Parliament and of the world. Another topic with the Assoeiation,-.or, as everybody now calls it, the "1 Catholic Parliament,"-is the mission. of ilr. BLAcrdEuRN to the county of Fermanagh, to investigate the murders lately committed in that quarter. As usual, this' exercise of its powers by the Executive Government can- not be allowed to pass without either the " veto" or the " fiat" of the High Court of Catholics being affixed to it. In the present case, the "Cfate has 'beeinadapted nzen. con. but a large quantum of AssocYation..parae and bustle has been anixed up with it. A Coungel. chosen by the Catholics was to go down to Inniskillen, by way of materially assisting- the Goverumejit iii the inquiry,"-, to act, we presume, as an assessor to Mr. BLACK- BuRnN; or a check upon him, to sacure the honest dis- charge of his duty! Thus two separate commissions are to be instituted, one by the LonD-LISUTENANT, theother by this lay conclave of the Catholics. A concurrent jurisdic- tiOnl is to be first established, and in the long run the Crown bids fair to be just tolerated, as a sleeping partner in the management. of its own concerns. The next step to the appointmentof a colleague to llr.:BLACKBURN, ought to be- that of passing a vote of approbation, or a resolution of thanks,to the LORD-LIEUTENANT,for-administeriug'jtice to the KING's subjects; after the fashion of hisMAajesty of RtussIA, who presses riugs and snuff-boxes upon foreigners, as a reward for their services to their respective monarchs. This whole system, if no worse than quackery, ought to be laughed down; but if it have the effect, for which it seems apparently calklated, of holding up to the contemplation of the Catholie multitude a power distinct from the State itself, and exercising a control over its po- licy, then we shall begin to fetr that some more serious no- tice must be talcen of the Catliolic Association;
