Yesterdlay the Duke ,pf York arrived at his residence in, Stable-yard, St. James s, from his shooting excursion. The Earl of Liverpool arrived in tow i on Saturday niglht from VWalmer Castle, and left town yesterday afternoon for the seat of Mr. Wilmot Horton, at Sudbrooke, where a grand dinner will be given by Mr. Horton to his Lordship, Earl Bathurst, Mr. Planta, and a select party. Earl Bathurst transacted business at the Colonial-office on Saturday. On Saturday General Mlichelena, the Envoy from Mex- ico, and his Secretirv, Mr. Rocafuerteo waitedL on Mr. Fletcher, the agent of General Iturbide. The General, after inquiring resplecting the situation of the children of General lturbide, expressed his solicitudefor their welfaro: he had no orders From his Government, but he would per. sonally undertake to defray their expenses, leaving them, nevertheless, subject to the disposition of Madame Itur- bide. Hc askeed the annual chargc, and said he would ad- lress a letter to Mr. Fletcher to that effect; and added, " I wish them to have an education which will enable them hereafter to be useful to their country." It *will be rccol- lected that General Iturbide left six children in England at school. We lhave much pleasure in stating that General Mirna is com,pletely recovered from the indisposition with which he was afflicted when he arrived in this country. He has had the advantage during that time of the skill and attentions of Sir Astley Cooper and Dr. Gaitskell, who have both, iu the handsomest manner, refused to accept any remune- rationi. The Moniteur of Thursday contradicts the rumour which we copied from the Journal des Dehats of WVednesday, that Mr. Jamres Rothschild, at Paris, had purchased the domain of iMJalmaison.

The motion of M. de LajBoUmnD 2A-rEwasIlostin the Chamber; but his observations, and those of his friends, were'not lost in the Rbyalist saloons and coteries of Paris. As Mi. de VILLEL;E Was installed in office by the Ultras, he could not neglect their suspicions and distrust with impunity, though supported at presenit by the undimifished confideDce of his master. We are given to understand, accordingly, by bis new organ, the Quotidienne, that he has already begun to move, and that the administrative authori- ties of the departments are to receive orders to ascertair the amount of losses incurred by the emigrants, in order next session to adjast the indemnity to be granted. The JournaZ des Debats, as the sup- porter of M. de CHATEAURRIATD, presses the measute with a de- gree of vehemence proportioned to its former moderation, points out the number of accidents which may happen between the present and ,the ensuing sessiQn, and hints that A,. de VILLEL7 TaIy, in the nterval, get rid of his engagement by getting rid of-ofice. Mlean- while the Mlinister of Finance is badly defended by his own journals, and a fact is mentioned wbich shows both the dificulty of procuring such support and the anxiety to obtain it.

IMPERIAL ALMANACK.-A new ...

tMiPERIAL ALMANACK.-A new almaniack, witlh the above title, has been publishied, like all other alinanacks, tnder the patronage of the Company of Stationers. Pro- ferssinig to be more accurate than foimer publications of the same sort, in every point essential to an almanack, it ex- cludes statements or predictions caleutlated to mislead, and embraces useIXil infhrmatioi on various tolpics of tlaily oc- currence, hitherto omitted. Accordingly, we are treatedr to no bad rhymes, no prognestics of the weather, nor pre- dictions respecting the states of Europe, as in F'rancis Moore's Vox Stellarim, or Loyal Alnzanack; nor with any directionis about pbysic and blood-letting as in the British Merlin, but we are instructed on the divisions of time among diffi-rent nations, and have a brief explhnation of the origin of the different festivals of our church, together with sundry other pieces of information equally interesting. T'his new almanack resemblcs in many respects the An- nutaire, published in France under the authority of the Board of Longitude, andwe wi-hit had been a moreaccurate copy of its modlel. The Ananaire is obtained for a franc (ten. pence); the price of the Imperial A7n4nack is 4s This, al- lowing for the price of the stamp, is an immense difference. The Annuaire generally contains nearly 900 pages-the al- raanack only 72. The Annuaire has commonily upwards of forty articles of popular interest er useful information-the Imperial Almanackc does not appear to contain more than half of that number. If it be said, that several articles of the Annuaire are only remotely conuccied with the calendar, so are several articles of the new almanack. We do not see, for ilnstance, what the amounit of our revenue dluring the last year-the list of ouir Ambassadors at foreign courts-or the last census of the population of Ireland, have to do with saints' days, moveable feasts, solar eclipses, or planetary motions. We even questiom whether the Jewish and Mahometan calendars, though useful perhaps at Jerusa- lem or Constantinople, are so interesting to an English farmer, as an account of the fixed and maoveable fairs of Great Britain, which he may see in Mfoore's Aimanacik, or in the British Merlin. We wvoulcl tlherefore advise the edit6' in his next year's publication, to adopt a leaf frein these popular works,and to imitate more closely the French za.nuaire, by introdtucing a little more variety into his pages. What he has done, so far as el have examxined Ilc work, has been well lone.
