Her Majesty’s travelling carriage was preceded and tollowed by a guard of hocor of Prussian lancers, and a salute of 21 guns was fired from the fortress as the royal cavaleade visit left the city. Her attendants and suite iollowed in. | two open barouches, a heavy luggige van brought’ up the rear. From the pace at which the carriages proceeded through the streets and across the bridge of bouts, the journey no doubt will be along and a tedious one, and wi'l try the patience of the royal | travellers before they reach Coburg. | The Fairy steam yacht has heen ordered to remain at Mayence till the return of the Queen. FRraykrort-on-THE-Maing, Monday Morning.— | The Queen arrived here this morning at halt past | ten trom Mayence ; but as Her Majesty required no | refreshment, she did not alight, nor make any stay | in thetown. Whilst post horses were being put te the carriage, Her Majesty received the congratula- tions of the Austnan and other Ambassadors, who were in attendance to receive Her Majesty; but | there was no reception of the municipal or military functionaries, as was expected. The people came flocking down 1m great numbers as soon as they heard of the arrival of the Queen and Prince Al- bert, and a general feeling of disappointment ap- peared to pervade all classes when the carriages | drove on through the town, and it became known Hae Her Majesty had determined not to remain | ere Her Majesty did not remain more than five or at | the most ten minutes in the town, and as soon as | post-horses were put to the carriage, drove on to- | wards Wurzburg, where they will arrive at about | nine o’clock this evening. Her Majesty will sleep there this night, and to-morrow will go on to Co- | burg; but it is expected that she will stop at some intermediate place on the road. The Queen will remain at Coburg till the 28th only, as his Royal Highness Prince Albert has ex- pressed a wish to go to Scotland for a few days’ | shooting, in the month of September. _ At the grand banquet_given by the King of Prus- sia io Her Majesty on Tuesday, the 12th instant, at the Palace at Bruhl, His Majesty proposed the heuito of the Queen in the following short but highly ani- mated and anpropriate speech :—‘‘ My lords and | gentlemen, fill your glasses to the brim? There is | a word which inspires with unspeakable delight | every Bri.ish and German heart. That word re- sounded once over a field of battle, after a fierce strugzle—as the symbol of a brotherhood in arms, | which had been blessed with success. This day | that word again resounds after thirty years of peace | —that happy fruit of the arduous work of those days, | here in the German lands on the banks of the beau- | tiful stream of the Rhine—that word is Victoria! Gentlemen, take your glasses and empty them to the | last drop. The object of the toast is Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. Long live | Queen Victoria and her most illustrious consort!” Conurs, August 21.—Our last account of the | oe lett her Aaa esty passing through the city of | ranktort, The Koyal cavalcade arrived here on | the 19h, and the journey of her Majesty from | ‘Wurtzburg here, except that the weather was not so propitious as could be desired, was not the least in- | teresting part of the royal tour. Bamberg, through which the route lay, was full of the inhabitants of | the surrounding country, who gave the Queen a hearty reception during the few minutes she remain- | edin the town. The distance from Bamberg to Coburg, is about 23 mules, through a fertile and populous country. After passing Zapfendorf the , Toad runs aleng the bank on the Main—a river pre- | senting at some points, scenery scarcely inferior to that on the Rhine—and passes Staffelberg—a hill of remarkable form and commanding aspect. On the other sideof the road rises a height, on which stands the Palace ut Prince Maxamilian of Bava- Tia, which was formerly the convent of Banz. Pass- ing Lichtenfels—a town of some importance—the | frontier of Bavaria and the Duchy of Saxe Coburg are soon reached. Here the roval party were met by the King and .Queen of the Belgians who had preceded them to Coburg, and now returned thither with them. There was a very pretty triumphal arch at the boundary, and the cortege, as it passed on to- wards Coburg, preceded by the postilions (in their gay and characteristic blue dress, and with plumes of white feathers in their hats) looked picturesque enough, and certainly quite different from anything of the kind wesee in England. Carriages ,belong- ing to Prince Augustus of Saxe Coburg and other members of the family, also swelled the procession, which was assisted bg a large body ot huntsmen of the House of Coburff, dressed in their uniform of green and gold, and with their carbines slung over their shoulders, The reigning duke of Saxe Co- burg was also at the frontier to receive his brother and sister-in-law, and he rode by the side of the royal carriage, the King ana the Queen of the Bel- gians being within. The reception at Coburg was one of the most leasing sights that can be well imagined. At the oundary a spleadid triumphal arch stretched across the road, from which hung flags, and every house in the long line ot street through which the royal cortége passed was gaily decorated with garlands, estoons, flags, and flowers. Better aad prettier atill to see were the smiling faces of the inhabitants lining the streets, and clustering in all the windows. The great buildings of the city were aiso profusely ornamented. The Townhouse and the Palace of the Prince of Furstenberg were especially decorated with garlands, festoons, and flags. Arrived at the palace of the Duke, a fine building in the modern Gothic style, forming three sides of an immense quadrangle, and with a turretted en- trance, the royal party alighted and partook of a slight refreshment, and then, after a short delay, proceeded to the summer palace of Rosenau, abont four miles from Coburgh. The chateau ot Rosenau not being sufficiently capacious for all the Hi on visitors, its illustrious owner, the Grand Dake, has taken up his quarters at a small place at a short distance from the chateau. The Duchess of Kent and the Prince of Leiningen are at the Resi- denz in the town here. King Leopold and his Queen oscillate between his chateau of Fulbbach and a house in the town, and the Grand Duke ot Baden is at Callenburg. The Queen and Prince Albert occupy the same room in which his Royal Highness was born. osenau itself 18 the beau-ideal of a summer resi- dence. Although built on a princely scale, it looks like an enormous cottage ornée, embowered in trees and flowers. The name, Rosenau, “ the meadow of roses,” aptly describes the lovely valiey from which the palace rises. The views com- manded trom the windows are of the finest kind After the natural beauties of the place, the next peculiarity that strikes an English mind is the utter | absence of all ceremonial and exclusiveness. There is not a gate or a sentinel in the whole place ; but , the country people come and go, and ook about them as they please, under the very windows of the palace, with no other restraint upon them than their own sense of self-respect. Her Majesty rose early this out in the jie before breakfast, accompanied by Prince Albert. The Joy of his Royal Highness at returning to his fath:r’s falls, his birth-place, and | the spot where he passed the happ years of boy- hood, is described as having been dertghttul to wit- ness. He conducted her Majesty through the va- rious departments, pointed out the most pletu.esque spots in the grounds, with the chateau on the distant and fir-crowned hills. Her Majesty seems to parti- cipate in her concert’s happiness; for here she roams about unstared at, unattended, and unpeered at, by gaping and vulgar curiosity. Not more than four miles from Rosenau, nearer Coburg, there is another summer residence, the ce of Prince Ernest of Wurtemburg, from which a very fine view is obtained of the vale in which Coburg is situ- ate, the spire of the Church of St. Maurice rising boldly from the centre of the city. On the opposite heights is the fortress of Coburg, which her Majesty went last evening to vi nau for the purpose. _As to Coburg iteelf, the notion entertained of itin England is one of the most absurd. The city is | much larger than ae prasrally supposed. The pale e of the King is a noble structure, and the great build- | ings of the town are very little interior to any of the | same of recent erection in the chief towns of Ger- many. These are comparatively modern, but the | town itself is much more ancient. The streets, | however, are wider than in most of the older towns inGermany. The houses are, for the most part, | white ; and, above all, they seem remarkably clean’ The theatre, also, is a neat building, but small ; und the suburbs of the city, in which there are viilas in abundance, are of remarkable beauty, combining a very rural air with much elegance. But what is, after all, much more interesting to the stranger, and more surprising to the Englishman, than the merely physical aspect of Coburg, is the wealth and com- fort it displays. The residences of the better classes are distinguished by much elegance ; and there is no poverty or squalor, but, on the contrary, much ap- arance of substantial comfort in those of the lower, The population of Coburg is about 10,000, That of morning, and walked | | came as much | jesty walked again in the grounds with Lady Can. | this count | royal party to the festival sit, driving over from Rose- | | being so much wooded, is not we about 75 miles from here, 13 14,006. When her pe | sty arrived at Coburg the whole po: pulation turned ont to meether. There were dense masses all along the road between the frontiers and the town. Not only these were there, but also the people of the surrounding country, in @ circuit of many miles, came in crowds into Coburg Some from Leipsic. It was stated that there would be at Coburg a grand renmion of Royal personages—that not fewer than fifteen crowned heads would here meet Queen Victoria. At present, besides the mem- bers of the Ducal house of Saxe Coburg, there are | only the King and Queen of the Belgians, the Duch- ess of Kent, and the Prince of Leiningen, tne half- brother of her Majesty Queen Victoria.

Her Majesty rose at an early | hour this morning, and walked ‘about the grounds ot Rosenau tor some time previous to the morning meal ‘The air was sott and balmy, and as the Queen expressed a wish to breaktast in the open air, the Royal party partook of their morning repast on a terrace, betore one of the fronts of Rosenau, a spot which the late Duke always selected for his evening meal,as it commands one of the most beauti- ful views of the valley.

[na spacious meadow in one of the suburbs of Coburg, pavilions were erected, and a portion of the ground opposite these pavilions was (ericed in with festoons and gar- lands. In the pavilions tables were laid for dinner, Besides the pavilions ‘there were also many other booths, a travelling theatre, and a most grotesque roundabout, with hobby horses and sledges, mount- ed on which were musicians playing a most musical polka, and girls and boys in fantastic dresses. This was the pre pestes on the ground. The festival | was of a different kind All the children of the town school, girls and boys, formed, according to eustomn, in procession, to the number of 600 or 700 Che girls were all dressed in white, with green mb- | bons—ihetr heads adorned with ivy wreaths, and their dresses festooned in like manner. Some wore faney co-tumes—the Highland drese, ie Greek dress; und there were tlocks of the prettiest little shepherdesses in the world. The greater number of the boys also wore fancy costuines—they were dressed as jagers, Highlanders, Greeks, Turks, Al- banians, to say nothing of one or two first rate Tittle Napoleon Bonapartes, and an unexceptionable Cap- tain Macheath. The scene was one which a Wat- teau, a Wilkie, or a Boucher would have delighted todraw. The moving little creep) of mummers preceded the ground, marching to mu- sic, where they were formed into lines. The Queen with her illustrious host and hostess, and the whole | ofthe royal party arrived on the ground at a quarter to tour o’clock ; and when her Majesty alighted and walked into the tented field, leaning on the arm of the Prince-Consort, a burst of joyous greeting and welcome rent the air. As soon as the royal promenade waa over, the children’scame. They formed in procession, and walked round the enclosure to the music of the bands, passing severally by the Queen. It wasa pretty sight. The litile daieheired girls in their chaste costume of white and ivy wreaths, and the strange, and often grotesque, mixture of the fancy dresses of the boys. The wholewas one of the gayest and most animated scenes we ever remem er to have witnessed. The part of the whole affair which will most surprise an English reader is, that in a very few minutes after the procession was over, the whole Te party sat down to dinner in the pavilion, amidst all the noise of the jarring bands, and the clashing of the cymbals, and under the gaze of thou- sands of people. ‘10 our own Queen it must have been a scene of peculiarnovelty,and the people in peat will no doubt be nota little surprised to find that so many crowned heads and royal person- ages as were here assembled could, without the loss ° ina meadow. they are ac- | ning, who sketched some of the most picturesque | | r the last three hundred years, and is | t | of which the Royal visitors were to be the partakers. | | ney. The stage 18 about the size of that of the Hay- market, but much better furnished with scenery and | “properties.” ‘The dresses are first rate. The play | selected for performance was Schiller’s “Bride of | Messina.” The performance commenced at seven | o'clock. Inthe ducal box, which the Queen enter- ed just before the performance commenced, was Her Myesty, and on her right the Duke of Coburg, and at the other end the Grand Duke of Baden. fh | the middle of the first act the King and Queen of the Belgians arrived and took their places in the ront seat, the two Queens sitting together, and laughing and chatting during the evening. The Duchess of Kent and his Soval Highness Prince Albert were on the same bench, and near them the Prince of Wertemberg; the Duke and Duchees of | Coburi being seated on her Majesty’s left hand.— The pl lay was Schiller’s tragedy of the “Bride of Messina”—it was very little attended toby the Royal party, who laughed and chatted together, evidently enjoying themselves without restraint ; coffee, ices, and confections being handed round between the acts, of which her Majesty and the courtly circle partook with apparent relish. Indeed, I never the ueen looking so well, or in such high spirits. Her Majesty wore a white satin robe, richly trim- med with lace, with a necklace and pendants of large brilliants, and a simple wreath of roses in her hair. The Queen of the aes who was also | dressed in white, had a profusion of long ringlets | clustering about her face, and flowers in her hair. | The story of the piece is far too mystical and Ger- | man to suit the English taste, and Ihave no doubt that many of those whom courtly etiqutte compelled | to remain were heartily sick of this maudlin affair long before it terminated. The heroine, Donna Isa- bella, was played by Madame Schroder Gerlach, and she certainly appeared to enter fully into the spirit of the poet, and there were occasional bursts of tine and impassioned feeling, which elicited some well-bred applause. At the conclusion of the | play the orchestra struck up the National Anthem ; | the audience rose,and the Queen advanced to the front of the box and bowed repeatedly. Ina few | minutes the royal party were en route for the cha- teau, which they reached before 11 o’clock. A num- | ber of outriders and huntsmen preceded and follow- ed the carriages, bearing torches in their hands, and when the cavelcade was at full speed, winding | turough the trees at the bottom of the valley, or rounding the crests of the hills, the eflect of the numerous flaring torches, streaming like meteors | in the night air, was Saat beautitul, reminding | eo cite wild and unearthly hunt ofa German legend, ‘his morning the Queen enjoyed her usual walk | in the grounds of the chateau, and afterwards at- | teuded Divine service at the church of St. Maurice, | at Saxe Coburg.

They were received by the cler- | gymen in their robes, and conducted over a carpet | way to the royal pew. The service then com- | menced, the church being crowded with people. | ‘The service began with the chanting of a few verses | by the clergymen standing at the Communion-table, to which there were estos by thechoir. Then the congregation generally joi ina hymn ; then portions of Scripture were read, then another hymn and a short prayer, and then followed the sermon ; | after which there was a blessing from the Commu- | | nion table, as in a Roman Catholic church.

Queen was highly delighted with her journey, which was per- formed with great rapidity, and she repeatedly ex- | pressed her admiration of the magnificent scenery | ot the Thuringian mountains. After dinner the | Queen was entertained by a novel and very interest- ing spectacle—namely, a procession of the miners | and charcoal burners of the Thuringian mountains, | who assembled in front of the chateau with lighte: flambeaux, and promenaded through the grounds — ‘The etiect of the lighted torches among the trees and winding walks was extremely fine, and the Queen and his Royal Highness remained a consid- erable time on the terrace, highly amused and grati- | fied with the scene. . At Gotha yreat exertions had beer made to re- ceive her Majesty with due honor. All the little vil- lages on the line of route from the chateau were decked out with wreaths of myrtle and laurel ; tri- umphal arches spanned the road, fashioned into | every variety of arrangement that ingenuity could | dictate. The very toll-bars were wreathed with | flowers and evergreens, and every cottage bad its | humble votive oflering of a spo wreath or bouquet of flowers, while the general effect of the whole was | heightened by long rows of poplars and firs trans- ported bodily from their mountain soil end planted | along the road on either side. At the entrance of | the towna triumphal arch of great size, and built of wood to imitate Portland stone, was the most con- spicuous object. It was supported by lottly fluted columns, and on the top was displayed the arms of England, the sides being hung with wreaths of lau- rel and myrtle. From this pomt to the entrance to the Palace of Frederickthal, about a furlong in | length, the road was one mass of triumphal arches, Conca of evergreens crossing each other at the | top and turning round the poles on which the verdant | canopy was supported. Rows of pillars were also | placed along the sides of the principal streets, and these were connected by festoons of flowers and | laurels. Every window and balcony was filled, and in the short space from the entrance of the town to | persons assembled. __ i Her Majesty’s reception was extremely enthusias- tic and gratitying u Aveust 30th.—Seldom, indeed, has any town | presented such an interesting and animated scene as | this capital of the Coburg Duchy yesterday.

The children remained on the ground unul nightfall.

Her Majesty reached the thea- dinner having ta- ken place at five. The Queen of the Belgians sat | on one side of her Majesty, and King Leopoid on the other, the other members of the distinguished , party being seated nearly in the same order as on Saturday night. The house was, if possible, more densely crowded than on either of the former eve- nings, and having arrived rather late, I had some difficulty in pronaring even scan ing room in the stalls. The comedy illustrates some of the broad and humorous passages in the lite ot Frederick William the First, har of Prussia, and Father of Frederick reat. So taras | could unravel the plot, there was a good deal of the usual intriguing to dispose ot the hand of the princess to the best advantage ; and | there was one scene, in which the King invites all picture gallery.

The Court will leave the next day for Gotha, where they will remain four or five days, returning by way of Fulda and Frankfort to the Khine, on their journey home. It is expected that there will be a grand ai: hunt, or rather a battwe on a very large scale. To-night the Queen and the | chief visitors at Rosenau attend the theatre in Co- burg. The pertormance will be Schiller’s Bride of | Messina. The Duke of Saxe of Meiningen is ex- pected to join the dinner party to-day. The beauty of the neighborhood of Coburg in- creases upon you the longer you stay. From every point fresh views open, and with the most delightful | variety.

This summer palace is not built on a grand scale, but, like Rosenan, it has more the air of the residence of a private gentleman. Itgarchitecture is an odd mixture of the turreted style with the cottage ornée, and the eflect is very pretty, although the ‘materials are congruous. Here the Dake und Dachess spend the greater part of their lime during the fine weather, and a more delightful retreat could not have been selected.

At the close of the performance the Na- ional Anthem was as usual played, all the audience standing. Her Majesty advanced to the front of the Royal box, and bowed and smiled repeatedly. She wore a white satin dress with the blue ribbon of the Garter across her shoulder. _ This Ge! being the anniversary of His Royal Higness Prince Albert’s birth, the morning was ushered in by the discharge of cannon from the fortress, andthe meadow near the entrance to the town, to which a part of the artillery was conveyed last night. After breakfast this morning, a number of the peasantry, dressed in their picturesque na- tional costume, assembled on the lawn in front of the chateau, chanted a German song composed for the occasion in honor of the Prince, and danced for upwards of an hour, After the dance, the Royal party drove out in two open carriages, and returned to the chateau to din- ner. There will be a ball and a petite concert at Rosenau this evening, and in the town, two public balls, the expenses of which are to be defrayed by Coburg, will take place.

The meeting was held in a field near Lisburn, and the multitudes as- sembled also to reproach the Premier for his ne- glect, desertion, and oppression of those whom he had formerly fostered and caressed, as well as to sympathise with him who had been the first victim of “Orange Peel.” Mr. Watson, D.1., J.P, G, M., &e , the staunch Protestant Con modore, to be dismissed by Sir R.

Of | a keen anxiety in the the importance of the country, and to the short time in whieh 1 has been obtained, it is very considera- | le. : The newspapers publish a letter from the United States, in which it is deciared that the efforts made ilk in that country, from which such great hopes were entertained four years ago, have entirely failed. The news will be sce abn le to the southern provinces, which were somewhat alarmed by the threatened competition of the United States. ‘The treaty between France and Morocco has at le been ratified by the Moorish Emperor, and published in the Bulletin des Lois. It fixes the li- mits of the territory between Algiers and Morocco, and is remarkable for containing an express acknow- ledgment onthe part of the Emperor of Morocco, that Algiers is “a French possession.” The Prince de Berghes, one of the richest noble- men of France, and belonging to one of the most | ancient and distinguished families, had been arrest- | edon acharge of causing to be forged, and circula- ting, tne couuters"of the Jockey Club, representing different small sums of money.

The grapes have suffered from the unfavorabie season, but the crop will still be a fair one. tas Paris and the neighborhood has been visited with a whirlwind, which did great damage. Ata village near Rouen, however, it was more disastrous, for it swept away several large manutactories and houses, and caused the death and the mutilation of a very great number of persons. So terrible a calamity has rarely happened. z Speculation in railway shares is pushed to an | extraordinary extreme, and even promises of shares in companies not yet definitely constituted, ere sold Throughout the day the Bourse is crowded to excess, and at times it 1s almost impossible to force one’s way from one part to another. At the foot of the stairs leading to the Bourse may be seen a number of old women, waiting the result of their little speculations. Once upon a time the ladies were permitted to enter the Bourse, but they kicked up sucha clatter that the Prefect of Police ordered them to be turned out One of the greatest lions of Parisian society is Col. Thorn, olNew York. The Col. it appears, had incurred a debt of some two hundred and twenty francs, or thereabouts, to a tradesman, but as he thought the elaine was excessive, he refused to pay it. Thereupon the shopkeeper went to the men of law, and by representing that the Colonel was about to make a precipitous bolt to America, got an au- thority to lodge him in gaol. The next morning, at an early hour, the gallant colonel was aroused from his slumbers by the noice of feet and voices ; and before he had time to doff his nightcap, three surly | looking vagabonds burst into hisroom. “Eh! what the devildo you want here ?” exclaimed the mili- tary hero from New York. “Come to arrest you, sir,” said the chief of the set,” producing a dirty piece of paper. ‘Arrest me !” ejaculated the Yankee millionaire—“arrest me! | “Not a bit of it, Mr. American. But let’s have no nonsense—get up and come offto Clichy.” “I! good God! Igo to Clichy! Why Thorn, of New York.” ‘I know that as well as you,” said the man of writs, “and I have an author- ity to arrest you. Come along—lI’ve got a cab at the door, and you’ll I uarter of an hour.” The valiant colonel was bewil- ered the stared from one to another, and at length ave vent to his vexation, by swearing loud and long, vowing arenes other things, that he would make President Polk declare war against Johnny Crapaud for permitting, under cover of his laws, such an abominable outrage on the dignity of a man who had worn a sword under the flag of stars and stripes, and who, moreover, had dispensed his large fortune for years in feasting and feting the ungrate- ful Parisians, But the colonel’s threats were disre- “Clichy ! Clichy !” exclaimed the man.— To Clichy, Colonel! You must go there first, and you can declare war afterwards !” Finding that the grim functionary of the lew was obdurate, the Gotonel came to a parley, and the result was, that he saved himself the necessity of visiting the interesting prison of Clichy By pa ing the whole of the debt demanded of him, and about twice as much far costs. But the matter did not end there. Irritated beyond endurance at the inso- lence of the tradesman in persevering to sue out a writ of arrest against hin for a paltry debt, the Colonel laid a complaint betore the Courts of being grossly overcharged, and consequently unjustly sub- jected to legal expenses. The case wus heard the day before yesterday, and the Colonel triumphantly gained his cause—the shopkeeper being compelled to refund the overcharge, to repay the expenses to which he had subjected the Colonel, and, moreover, to stump up the costs of the complaint'against him. , The French proverb, that “those who laugh the | least should laugh the loudest,” may be applied by Colonel Thorn to himself, for certainly in this mater he has got the laugh at his creditor In justice to Colonel Thorn, it inust be added, that he is a man of the very highest respectability, of immense wealth, and for upwards ot seventeen years has been one of the leaders of the fashionable society of Paris. He has lately married his beautiful daugater Alice to a Comte de Ferguson = He A party of Ojibbewa Indians are now exhibiting here.

EXTRAORDINARY OBSERVATIONS CONNECTED WITH | Tur Lars Wairtwinp at Rover —M. Arago has communicated to the Paris Academy of Science the observations of some of its correspondents upon the extraordina at Rouen. The disastrous visitation commenced in the valley of Malauney and the valley of Monville, about half-past 12 o’clock in the day, by the rapid shock of winds and ciouds striking in opposite direc tions, preceded by gusts of an extraordinary hit wind,equally remarked at Paris, and so burning that the mistress of an inn, although standing before a Kitchen fire, felt it, as well as many other persons, | on all of whom it produced a most oppressive effect. Similar electrical phenomena soon followed. It was remarked that the whirlwind presented the shape of an inverted cone, of which the point looked red.— It did not proceed ina nght line, but zig-aag, and particularly in the direction where there were masses of iron or steel, such as factories, leaving untouched the intermediate spaces. What is more extraordin- ary, it only struck parts of the same nouse, those parts having quantities of ironwork, leaving un- touched the parts which hud little or none. Trees of acentury were in some places twisted, in others torn up, and in other ee broken. But the mest remarkable feature of the whole was this, that a quantity of substances, some of great weight, such as planks of five feet in length, were sucked up into the air, and carried to a distance of nine leagues, after ajeurney of seven hours. While the tempest was at its height, the barometer fell 17 millimetres, a fact proved by Professor Pressier. This philosopher does not doubt that the phenomenon was essentially electric. During the passage of the whirlwind, trom which flashes of lightning played, some persons smelled a sulphurous odour, and heard a rolling noise—workmen felt themselves moved to ue aoe its 0 burned cotton and other materials were found, «l- though there had been no. Reel each pitas led, ry; m showed dC altagesher there showed no mark of external injut rapid signs of decomposition; an | ean be no doubt that the causeywas of un electric na- ture.

"The last letters ‘rom Calrsruhe brings no informa- tion that can be depended upon with respect to the discussion in the Congress of the Zollverein, which is still sitting.

The great topic of interest at present is the visit of the Queen of England to our King. I cannot at- temptto give you any details of that visit, for space | does not permit it; butl must state that her Majes- | ty’s reception was really most enthusiastic every where, spatter The new religion is continuing its career, with al- | ternate successes and defeats. At Hulberstadt, ' Ronge, the leader of this movement, was nearly us- Sassinated when preaching a violent sermon against Rome ; but at other places he kas had greater suc- cess. Our government is alarmed at the aspect the business is assuming, and has accordingly given or- | ders that the preachers of the new faith shall not be | admitted into the Protestant chapels, aud that the | Newspapers, with a few exceptions, shall refrain from writing about it. In some of the minor duchies the same proceedings have been adopted, and in Austria they were adopted months ago. From Auscria we have intelligence that immense inundarions have happened in Hungary, and have done immense damage, as well as caused an exten- | sive sacrifice of human lite. f Tug New Rerormarion—The Swabian Mer- cury mentions that in order to preyent schism break- | ing out in Bohemia, which appears to show a dispo- | sition to catch the religious agitation of which Ger- many is the theatre, ‘it has been signified to the Catholic clergy to take care not to alienate the peo- ‘ple oy intolerance or scandalous conduct, lest they should detach themselves from the religion of their fathers.” A The celebrated Czerski has, along with Saenger and Maller, addressed a letter to the Voss Gazette dated 26th August, denying that they had adopted the Augsburg Gonteaatod of Faith, ‘They acknow- ledge, however, that their own creed does not ditfer from it in essential particulars, nor do they yet sepa- | rate radically from the Catholic Church, of which | they reject the human traditions by which it has | been detaced. Their community, therefore, gomes | within the proteetion secured by the peace of West- phalia, and they are under the laws of tne confedera- | tion and of the State. Their aim is to repeal the | pretensions of the Roman hierarchy, and human traditions, but they acknowledge revelation as it is manifested in the concurrent tradition of all ages.’ ‘They profess, while maintaining their own opinions, fraternal unity with the Catholic Church, as they do wit the Protestant, and, indeed, with all which ac- knowledge the fundamental docrines of Christianity. Phe Prussian Government, while prohibiting Ronge and his fellow-laborers from leaving their parishes, nevertheless aflords them full protection against persecution a. Near Brunswick, an assembly calling themselves “Protestant Friends,” met on the 20th, to the number of between 400 and 500. To this assem- bly many came from Magdebourg and trom Hal- berstadt. The pastor, Uhlick, was prevented from attending by a similar prohibition to that under which Ronge and so many reformers labor, The | pastors Hessen, Muller, and Steinmeyer, directed the discussions of the assembly. A meeting of the Protestant Friends will be held at Brunswick on the Ist October. ; 5 At Sondershausen was held the first meeting of an association calling itself the “‘ Gustavus Adolphus Association,” for promoting Protestant evangelical | principles, reason and the Holy Scriptures. } Spain. Our advices from Madrid are to August 26, | The Queen Isabella and her mother are awaiting the visit of the Duc and Duchesse de Nemours near the French frontier. Meanwhile they are amusing themselves by taking baths, inspecting public build- | ings, visiting picturesque scenery, and attending | bull fights, the anions brutality of which attords great pleasure to the Queen. A reduction of postage has been effected on let- ters, but it has been contrived to treat newspapers as letters, and charge them by weight. This will have the effect of almost doubling the cost of a n+wspa- per in the country, and the double cost will ru n one halt of our jourvals—a result that will ne very agreea- ble to our rulers, who detest the press, like all op- pressors of the people. 2 Nothing uppears to be settled as to the marriage of the Queen, but itis thought that something will be done respecting it after the visit of the Duc de Ne- mours, Two vagabonds, employed by the police, have been proved to have been in the habit of forging correspondence and getting up conspiracies fur the purpose of implicating innocent persons obnoxious to the Government. Maprip, August 19 pile evening some disturbance took place in the Las Vistillas quarter, Several ex-royalist volunteers uppeared inthe streets: utering most scandalous eres. A number of ex- National Guards responded to them in a hostile style. The police agents hastened up, and a strug- | fi ensued, in which some persons ure said to have been wounded, and some of the ringleaders were cuptured ‘his morning the authorities are determined to execute the measures adopted yesterday. The Min- isters had met in council ata very early hour, and had remained en permanence at the Home-ottice; strong patroles of infantry and cavalry surrounded every part of the capital. This display of troops was hecesrary, for the people, instigated by various leaders known to the Governme.t, were greatly exasperated. In the morning, before the patroles appeared in the streets, two or three isolated officers, a sergeant and some soldiers, had been surrounded and roughly treated. It is even suid that in these collisions which preceded the | great military demonstrations made this day, eight or ten solaiers were wounded. But two er three shots, have, however, been tired to-day, and it is not said that they have hurt anybody. It is, indeed, fortunate, that a say iat cominenced so | nauspiciously, should have been saddened by no | loss of lite. Phe political chief, ia order to restore | to the capital its usual aspect, and prevent alarm | from spreading, hastened to publish a bando in | every part of the capital, ordering, on severe penal- ties, all the shops to be opened within four hours ; such as would not obey the bando were to be con- sidered and prosecuted ‘as accomplices of the rebellion attempted against the execution of the laws passed by the Cortes, and sanctioned by the Crown.” It would appear that this resistance to the new system of taxation had been but a pretext. Such criesas “Viva la Regna!” “Viva la Constitution !” “Mueran los tiranos!” were alone uttered, and “Viva Espartero !” was distinctly heard in some parts. At half past two the numerous and | compact groups that thronged the Puerta del Sol began to disperse. Some shops, and especially the coffee houses, were opened, but most of the shops continued closed, despite the aforesaid severe bando, The suburbs and lower quarters (Burios bajos) were comparatively quieter than the more pain hae quarters, butthe presence of very large detachments of troops had attracted an extraordinary crowd to- | wards the Puerta del Sol. At half past four the | groups had disappeared, bul the troops were still | under arms. The people have no where appeared | in arms. feraks. Elle Six P.

The shops where provisions are sold have | obeyed the Political Chiet’s orders, but the other larger shops, of silks, ke, &e., are still closed, which at this hour is not surprising. They will pro- bably open to-morrow Nine P. M—The capital is still quiet; patroles continue to circulate, and nothing denotes that this attem, ted riot is likely to be attended with serious consequences, or to be renewed. A large number of arrests bave been effected. Madrid journals,of the 20th instant, state that tranquility appeared to be restored, and the shops were re-opened. A court martial, appointed by the captain general, has tried the persons arrested at the riot of the 19th. Only one man, who had killed an officer by stabbing him with a poinard, was con- demned to death Several others were sentenced to the presido. The Heraldo announces that the re- signation of General Concha has been accepted, and that he is replaced by General Breton, from the same comnmand tn Arragon; General Manso, who was commandant in Old Castile, is removed in the same capacity to Saragossa ~The Tiempo pretends that seventy-eight persons were arrested, having amongst them some of the greatest tradesmen, who refused to open their shops. The persons involved in the affair of Colonel Renjito liad been resened by furce, at the moment when the oflicer was about to conduct them to the guard house ; but they were af: terwards retaken by the troops. It is also stated that two persons entered the sta- | ble where Cordeva’s horses were kept, and offered 4000 dollars to a servant, provided he succeeded in assassinating the General. The servant, uecordin fo the same account, indignantly refused, anc knocked down the man who made the offer.” The other escaped. All was quiet on the 26th, Beigtum.
