The w! olewas one of the gayest apd most animated scenes we ever remem’ er to have witnessed. The part of the whole aflair which will most surprise an English reader is, thatin a very few minutes after the precession was over, the whole royal party sat down to dinner in the pavilion, amidstall the noise of the jarring bands, and the clashing of the cymbals, and under the gaze of thou- pine people. ‘lo our own Queen it must been a scene of peculiarnovelty,and the people in England will no doubt be not a little surprised to find that so many crowned heads’ and royal person- ea as were here assembled could, without the loss of their supposed dignity, dine in this a/ fresco style in a meadow, surrounded by so many of what we should in England deem the ruder elements of rus- tie gaiety. jester dinner, the children danced be- fore the tent, some ot them waltzing in as good time asthe dansueses at our own English Opera House. After the ainner the youthful chorus burst forth into “* God save the Queen,” and also sang some of our national airs. The Queen caused seve- ralof them tobe brought to her, and addressed them in their own tongue, much to their delight and astonishment, for many of them could not con- ceive how it was possible for an English Queen to speak any other than her native language. Last night Her Majesty visited the theatre of Saxe Coburg, which isa handsome building, the external form and architecture of which are unpretending and appropriate, and the internal decorations ele- ant. In form and size it somewhat resembles the Girmuxket but itis, if anything, larger than this theatre. ‘The whole of the centre of the dress cir- cle, from the one bend ot the house to the other, i occupied with a spacious Royal box, which, oi course, directly fronts the stage, and communds a | better view than the Royal boxes in Euglish thea- | tres. There is over the dress circle # second cir cle, and over that two galleries. The parterre ex- actiy corresponds to our pit, and there ure alse stalls called the parquet. Some idea of the rate of prices willbe formed from the fact that the admission to the par. and the dress circle is 2. 84. of our mo- ney. The stage 1s 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 ot Messina.” The performance commenced at seven o’clock. Inthe ducal box, which the Queen enter- ed just before the performance commenced, was Her Maesty, and on her right the Duke of Coburg, and at the other end the Grand Duke of Baden. In the middle of the first act the King and Queen of the Belgians arrived and took their places in the front seat, the two Queens sitting together, and Jaughing and chatting during the eveniag. The Duchess of Kent and his Royal Highness Prince Albert were on the same bench, and near them the Prince of Wertemberg; the Duke and Duchess of Coburg being seated on her Majesty’s leit_hand.— The play was Schiller’s tragedy of the “Bride ot 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 oe looking so well, or in such high spirits. ler Majesty wore 4 white satin robe, richly trim- med with lace, with a necklace and’ pendants ot large brilliants, and a simple wreath of roses in her hair. The Queenof the Belgians, who was also dressed ia white, had a profusion et 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 d), ‘clock tuis ufteraoon, and during the whole of yes+ terday and last night the inhabitants were sotively engaged in completing the extremely beautiful extensive floral and other decorations of the towa, and it is now a complete maze of evergreens, bou- quets of flowers, triumphal arches, and other fanci- tul devices, the character of which is peculiar to this part of Germany, and lar exceeds in picturesqueness of arrangement any thing | have ever witnessed in England. For a considerable distance on either side, the road was lined with the inhabitants, dress- ed in their holiday attire, the children in white, with wreaths of flowers in their hair, and holding larg bouquets. Young and stately pines were torn up by the thousand from the adjoining forest, and planted in rows on either side of the road, ail the way to Ilildberghausen; even the duig-heaps and other unsightly spots along the route were covered with mossand furze, and every thing was done to make her Majesty’s journey as agreeable and complimen- tary as the means and ingenuity of the humble pea- santry would enable them. At Hildburghausen, the next stage, a town of some consideration, chiefly inhabited by Jews, and which was formerly the res- idence of the dukes of that name, all the inhabitants were astir at an early nour, and the whole of the long lines of streets on either side of the post house at which the horses were to be changed were crowd- ed with the inhabitants, headed by the municipal authorities in their state dresses, the principal in- habitants of the town in the dark green uniform of fe town guard, and the children of both sexes in ront. Avujust 29.—In my last I announced the arrival of her Majesty at the Chateau of Reinhartsbrunn, about eight miles from this place. The Queen was highly delighted with her journey, which was per- formed with great rapidity, and she repeatedly ex- pressed iaredcisanan 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 lighted Himbeaux, and promenaded through the grounds — The effect of the lighted torches among the trees ad winding walks was extremely fine, and the Queen and his Royal Highness remained a consid- erable tume on the terrace, highly amused and grati- tied with the seene. ; At Gotha reat exertions had beer made to re- ceive her Majesty with due honor. All the little vil- tages 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 had its humble votive offering of a simple 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 soi! 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 foe to the entrance to , about a furlong in the Palace of Frederickthal length, the road was one mass of triumphal arches, and wreaths of evergreens crossing each other at ihe 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 the palace there could not have been less than 10,000 persons assembled. . Her Majesty’s reception was extremely enthusias- tic and gratilying Aveust 30th.—Seldom, indeed, has any town presented such an interesting and animated scene as long betore it terminated. The heroine, Donna Isa- bella, was played by Madame Schroder Gerlach, and she certainly Seared to enter fully into the meets of the poet, and there were occasional bursts of fine 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. In a 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 eon the trees at the bottom of the valley, or rounding the crests of the hills, the effect of the numerous flaring torches, streaming like meteors in the night air, was singularly beautiful, reminding Id and unearthly hunt of a German one ofthe wi eee . This morning the Queen enjoyed her usual walk in See of the chateau, and afterwards at- tended Divine service at the chureh of St. Maurice, at Saxe Coburg. Her Majesty, the Prince, the Co- burg Princes, the King and Quen of the Belgians, and the suite, arrived at the church at about a quar- terto ll o’clock. ‘They were received by the cler- gymen in theirrobes, 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 versce by the clergymen standing at the Communioa-table, to which there were responses by thechoir. Theo the congregation generally joined 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 ina oman Catholic church. A military brass band was stationed in the theatre and accompanied with their music the chanting of a Ze Deum—not the Te Deum ot our churches, but a eort of hymn in rhyme. The music was com- posed by Schicht. This was sung by the choir alone. The effect of this hymn. and of the fine volume of sound rolling through the Church, was magnificently grand. Jn certain paris of the service the congregation also sung, and in a manner which evinced sound musica! training, producing an etlec very different from that of our one psalmouy The Queen wore a white dress and a white showi striped withcrimson. The service lasted till twelve o’clock, and the royal party left the Church to return to Rosenau. ‘ Aug. 25 —The arrangement still is for the Court to leave here on Wednesday morning. A journey of about nine hours will bring to a seat of the Duke’s, between this and Gotha, where they wi! rest till Thursday morning; they will then go t Gotha. On their way, on Wednesday, they wil lunch at Meiningen, To-night the royal party ar again to attend the theatre. A German comedy, by Guizkow, will be pertormed, entitled Zopf una Schwert. It turns upon some of the eccentricities o! the Court of Frederick William 1, father of Freder ick the Great. Avuaust 26, The performance of last night was « comedy by Karl Gutakow, entitled The Queen and the Sword, and the selection was made, | under- stand, to afford the Queen an opportunity of wit- essing an opera, a tragedy, and a comedy, during her stay at Coburg. Her Mujesty reached the thea- tre shortly after seven o’clock, the dinner having ta en 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 poesible, more densely crowded than on either of the former eve- Nings, and having arrived rather late, 1 had some difficulty in procuring even standing room in the stalls. The comedy illustrates some ot the broad and ae penenaoe in the lite of Frederick William the First, King of Prussia, and Father of Frederick the Great. 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 beat advantage there was one scene, in which the King invites all his ministers and generals to supper, and compels them to drink beer, and smoke long Duteh clay pipes, which convulsed the audience with laughter. The dialogue throughout kept the audience in a roar, and the ned and Brine Albert laughed heartily at the broad humour of the piece. Some complimentary allusions§to Great Britain,with a Prince of which the King was, it appears, en leavouring to effect an alli- ance, in reference to its resources and its value a6 a firm and honourable ally, were eagerly caught up by the audience, and despite the ‘eual restrainy Imposed the public in the Duke's Theatre, loudly ap- lauded. Atthe close of the performance the Na- tional Anthem was as usual played, all the audienc standing. Her fend advanced to the tront of the Roya] box, and bowed and smiled repeatedly. She wore @ white satin dress with the blue ribbon of the Garter across her shoulder. This day being the anniversary ot His Royal Higness Prince Albert’s birth, tie morning was ered in by the discharge of cannon from the | fortress, and the meadow near the entrance to the town, to which a part of the artillery was conveyed last might. 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. Avovst 27.—This morning, I witnessed the de- parture trom the Palace of Rosenau of our Most Gracious Sovereign, tor the summer residence of the Duke of Saxe Coburg, called Reinhardts- brunn, « beautiful Gothic edifice, which was former- ly aconvent. Her Majesty will pass the nigntat Place, and to-morrow morning muke her en- tance into Gotha, where the population has dis- played equal anxiety with that of ( Soburg to do honor to the British Queen. On the way to Reinhardts- brunn, ‘her Majesty will dine at Meiningen, and will be received bt And Duke of Suxe Meiningen, brother to the Queen Dowagerof England Our Sovereign remains at Gotha six days. his day week, euriy in the morning, the Queen leaves thatcity on her return to England. Gorna, August 28.—The authorities here have been officially informed that her Majesty Queen Vic- foria will arrive at Gotha between five and six this capital of the Coburg Duchy yesterday. In ad- dition to the honors done toa powerful sovereign, we had all the rustic excitement and tumult of the festivities which follow the harvest and vintage in Germany. The Queen breakfasted yesterday morning before 8 o’clock, and soon afterwards walked in the lovely ardens of the Friedenstein Palace. Her Majesty then inspected the picture gallery, which contained some fine works of the Flemish school. The library with nearly 200,000 volumes, the museum of natural history, the Chinese and Japanese museums,were in turn visited. This gallery is rich in curiosities. Her Majesty’s curiosity was excited particularly at the bat and boots left by Napoleon at the battle of Leip- sic, # gown of Marie Antoinette, some articles that once appertained to Frederick the stein, Xe. This morning her Majesty leaves tor Reinhards- brunn, and will be present at a curious old custom of driving the deer into the smallest possible circle, and then making a battue of them. To-morrow morning divine service at the Friedenstein church, will be attended by the royal personages, and a grand banquet will be served in the evening at the palace. On Monday, the Liederfest, or choral festi- val will take (ig at3 P.M At 2 o’clock, the roval and distinguished went to see the fuir. There were wax-work res, cows with two heads, and sheep with six legs, ana- tomical models, dealers in the black art and dancing girls, musicians and tumblers, and, but that the de- scriptions of the wonders to be seen within, were printed in unintelligible Germun text, one might most fancy that he wes entering the Newmaiket course during the races. The Queen appeared highly amused with the antics some mechanical figures placed in front ik of the shows, and having pointed them out to the King of the Belgians, they both heartily laughed, and with as much apparent enjoyment as the peasants aesem- bled on the green. Meantime the crowd continued to accumulate and extend over the open ground An A arrived here last night, stating that the King of Saxony was seriously indisposed, and would not be able to pay his respects to her Ma- Great, Wallen- al- esty. The Court will be in the Isle of Wight by the 8th instant. _ According to present arrangements her Majesty and Prince Albert will arrive at Antwerp on Satur- day next, the 6th inst, and embark on board the Royal Victoria and Albert steam yacht, Capt. Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G. C. H., and proceed the same evening to anchorage ground off Flushing, where the royal yacht will remain during the night; and on Sunday morning start for the Isle of Wight, where the vessel will again anchor, and her Majes- H and his Royal Highness will disernbark on Mon- jay morning, and proceed to Osborne House. Ireland. Atthe weekly meeting of the Repeal Association on Monday, aletter was read from ©’Conneil urging attention to the registry, and stating that he would have a tory returned for any constituency in pre- ference to a whig non-repealer. The rent dwindled down to £224. In 1822 the Belfast carrying trade was disposed of by a single steamer of 50 horse power, plying once a week, and there was no steam communication with any port but G Ata public dinner given last week, in Belfast, to the Earl of Eglinton, John Boyd said that there were engaged in the linen trade at Beltast, twenty-five mills, and in these mills at least 12,000 work-people The rate of wages paid to them being from £135,000 to £200,000 per annum. The cost of erecting the tis could not be leas than £100,000, and they eon sume in spinning 100,000 tons of flax, the produce of Ireland every year—the value of which, when raw, mightbe estimated at £5,000,000. The 20th August, 1845, will ever be a memorable day in the annals of Antrim, that day having been selected by the Protestants of that and the neigobor- ing counties to meet and protest against the arbitra- ty dismissal of James Watson, late Deputy Lieute- nant and Justice of the Peace. The meeting was held in a field near Lisburn, and the multitudes as- sembled ulso to reproach the Premier for his ne- lect, desertion, and oppression of those whom he Fad formerly fostered and caressed, as well as to sympathise with him who had been the first victim of “Orange Peel.” Mr. Watson, D.1L.,J.P., D. G. M., &c,, the staunch Protestant Con.modore, to be dismissed by Sir R. Peel, for marcaing belore his “Protestant boys” to church! It was Impossi- ble to grasp the idéa, and each man feeling that he might have done the same, and so have suffered, r solved to express his opinion on the matter belore- hand, and brave the storm which he was endeavor- ing toprovoke. It was also equally clear that all Mr. O’Connell’s hope—real or pretended—of a janc- tion between the indignant Orangemen and hie fol- 8, have been tallacious—that the coaxing of the Freemanand the historical appeals of the Na- | Kon have been written in vain, and that, much as | the Protestants and Presbyterians of the North | seem to hate Sir Robert Peel and his co-adjutors, i | they hate Popery und Repeal, and Mr. O’Connel still more. France. Our Paris dates are of the Ist of September. _ Ratifications of a treaty of commerce between | France and New Grenada will be exchanged ina j few months. There is already a provisional treaty between the two countries dating from 1840, and the treaty now about to be ratified is for making the provisional aad definitive. France, 1t appears, has every reason to believe that she will do an extensive trade with New Grenada; for previous to 1840, her exports were only to the amount of about 700,000 franes,whereas, since that time, they have averaged all directions. The grapes have suffered from unfavorabie season, but the crop will still be a one. ulation in shares is id to an ctieccdiaary Eta Mt even pron shares in companies not yet definitely constituted, ere sold at high premiums. Thro ut the day the Bourse is crowded to excess, and at times it is 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 such a clatter that the Prefect of Police ordered them to be turned out and kept out. one One of the greatest lhons of Parisian society is Col. Thorn, of New 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 eharge 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 an- thority to lodge him 1n 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. “Ih! what the devil do 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 milliopaire—‘‘arrest me! Why the man’s ma “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! wey fellow, I’m Colonel 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—I’ve got a cab at the door, and you'll “be snugly lodged in Clichy in 4 quarter of an hour.” The valiant colonel was bewil- dered—he stared from one to another, and at length ave vent to his vexation, by swearing loud und long, vowing among 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 Parisions, But the colonel’s threats were disre- garded. ‘Clichy! Clichy !” exclaimed the man.— ys Clichy, “Colonel! You must go there first, and you can declare war afterwards !” Finding that the grim functionary of the law was obdurate, the Colonel came to a parley, and the result was, that he saved himself the necessity of visiting the interesting prison of Clichy, by paying the whole of the debt demanded of him, and about twice as much for 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 him for a paltry debt, the Colonel laid a complaint before the Courts of being grossly overcharged, and consequently unjustly sub- jected to legal expenses. The case was 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 matter he has got the laugh at his creditor In justice to Colonef Thorn, it must be added, that he is a man of the very highest respectability, of immense wealth, and for upwards of seventeen years has been one of the leaders ot the fashionable society of Paris. He has lately married his beautiful daughter Alice to a Comte de Ferguson. ie A party of Ojibbewa Indians are now exhibiting here. The chief, a fine handsome man, proposed to make their performance more eee by shooting at an apple placed on his son’s head, pl-dging himself to bring it down every time without fail. But the Pretect of Police, who, in this happy city, pokes his nose into everything, peremptorily forbade the chief trom attempting so dangerous & feat of archery. ExrraorpinaRy OBSERVATIONS CONNECTED WITH Tae Late Wuirtwinp at Rover.—M. Arago has communicated to the Paris Academy of Science the observations of some of its correspondents upon the extraordinary meteor which caused such dire effects 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 clouds striking in opposite direc- tions, preceded by gusts of an extraordinary hot 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 in aright line, but zig-zag, and partieularly in the direction where there were masses of iron or steel, such as factories, leaving untouched the intermediate opacco. Whit is more eauraordin- ary, # only struck parts of the same house, those parts having quantities ot ironwork, leaving un- touched the parts which hed little or none. Trees of aceatury were in some places twisted, in others torn up, and in other places 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 a jeurney of seven hours. While the tempest was atits height, the barometer fell 17 millimetres, a fact proved by Professor Preesier. This philosopher does not doubt that the phenomenon was essentially electric. During the passage of the whirlwind, from which flashes of lightning played, some persons emelled a sulphurous odour, and heard a rolling noise—workmen felt themselves moved to and fro, while flames flashed before their eyes. Bits ot burned cotton and other materials were found, al- though there had been no. ont enon. Several cooking spits were magnetised. Of the killed, some showed no mark of external injury; many showed rapid signs of decomposition; and altogether there can be no doubt that the causefwas of an electric na- ture. the fair Germany. Our Berlin dates are to Aug. 26. 2 The new religion is continuing its career, with al- ternate successes and defeats. At Halberstadt, Ronge, the leader of this movement, was nearly as- sassinated when preaching a violent sermon against Rome ; but at other places he has 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. Tut New Rerormation.—The Swabian Mer- cury mentions that in order to prevent 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 hag been signified to the Catholic clergy to take care not to alienate the peo- ple by intolerance or scandalous conduct, lest they te id detach themselves from the religion of their fathers.” The celebrated Czerski has, along with Snenger and Muller, addressed a letter to the Voss Gazette, dated 26th ‘August, denying that they had adopted the Augsburg Confession of Faith. ‘They acknow- ledge, however, that their own creed dors not ditler from it in eseential 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, comes within the protection secured by the peace of West- phalia, and they are under the laws of the 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 Chureh, as they do with 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 Near Brunswick, an assembly calling themselves “ Protestant Friends,” met on the fh, to the number of between 400 and 500. ‘To thie assem- bly many came from Magdebourg and trom Hal- berstadt. The pastor, Uhiick, was prevented from attending by a similar prohibition to that ander 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. At Sondershausen was held the first meeting of an ussociation 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. _Mapnip, August 19—Yesterday evening some disturbance took place in the Las Visullas quarter. Several ex-royalist volunteers appeared inthe streets uttering most scandalous eries. A number of ex- National Guards responded to them in a hostile style. The police agents hastened up, and a@ strug- 4,000,000 franes per annum. It is true that the latter sum 1s very insignificant in amount; but, relative to the importance of the country, and to the short ume “ which it has been obtained, it is very considera- ble. The newspapers publish a letter from the United | States, in which it is declared that the efforts made to procure silk in that country, trom which such great hopes were entertained four years ugo, have entirely tailed. The news will be acceptable to the | southern provinces, which were somewhat alarmed by the threa‘ened competition of the United States. | The weather, after a long gontinuance of wet, has become fine, and the Grops are now being got inin gle ensued, in which some persons are said to have been wounded, and some of the ringleaders were captured. This morning the authorities are determined to execute the measures adopted yesterday. The Min- isters had met in council at a very early hour, and had remained en permanence at the Home-office; strong patroles of infantry and cavalry surrounded every part of the capital. This display of troops Was necessary, for the people, instigated by various leaders known to the Governmeut, were greatly exasperated, | | In the morning, before the patroles of the work appeured in the streets, two or three isolated officers, in capturing the veseel, but the pi 4 sergeant and some soldiers, had been surrounded rately, and it and treated.

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 (Barios bajos) were comparatively quieter than the more populous quarters, butthe presence of very large detachments of troops had attracted an extraordinary crowd to- wards the Puerta del Sol.

M.—The capital is still quiet; patroles continue to circulate, and nothing denotes that this attempted riot is likely to be attended with serious consequences, or to be renewed. A large number of arrests have been eflected. 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 eaten 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 command in Arragon; Genera! 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 had been rescued by force, at the moment when the officer 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 Beene aurea he succeeded in assassinating the General.

Russia, Our advices from St. Petersburg are to Aug. 21 Itis very rare that our Gazette hus teemed with so much information as of late, for our Government, as a general rule, does not like to have its actions, whether :good or bad, made public. The informa- tion in question is chiefly relative to the campaign in Caucasus ; but although it occupies much space, and is interesting enough in its way, and that is—that Count Woronzow had followed the mountaineers, had had several affairs with them, in all of which he was successful, and that finally he succeeded, after some severe combats, fought with desperate courage on both sides, in capturing the village of Dargo, the residence of Iman Schannil, chief of all the Mo- hammedan tribes of the Caucasus and of the Da- ghestan, A detail of the military operations by which this was effected could not be made intelligi- ble without a map. : P The Emperor lately issued an ordinance, ordering small portions of land to be awarded to poor Jews willing to occupy themselves in agricultural labor; butthe rascally subordinates of the government have contrived to make this decree of none effect. Yet such is the dreadful slavery in which the poor Jews live, that they dare not complain; for though the Emperor would instantly see justice done them, they would become victims to the cruelty of his subordinates. ‘ A ukase has been issued, adding 50 per cent on all exports from countries which do not admit Russian products on the footing of the most favored nation. Some of the continental countries will sufler severe- ly by this—France eipecially. Igeria. An expedition has lately been made to Delly by Marshal Bugeand, at the, head of 5.000 then; and it appears to have been one of the most favorable of which the French can boast, for, immediately on the appearance of the troops, the people made submission. Abd-el-Kaker hus re- treated into the interior, but he is still as far from being conquered as he was years ago. Marshal Bugeaud is now on his way to France on leave ot absence, and some people aay that he will not return to Algiers, Marshal Soult sag to resign, and Bugeaud being destined to succeed him _ in the Mi- nistry of War. All I can say is, that, if Soultshould resign, he will exhibit a piece of self-denial for which the people are not at all prepafed to give him credit: for the dlustre epée, as he is called, has declared over and over again that he will never give up his place but with his life. Bu- geaud is just now being soundly drubbed by the opposition press for having issued a plan of mili- tary colonization, which said system of coloniza- tien has long been one ot his favorite projects. It consists in allowing well-conducted soldiers, having still three years of service to perform, to quit the army, to get married, and settle in Algiers, receiving a certain portion of land, a house, and pecuniary as- sistance trom the government, all of which will be absolutely theirs. It does not appear that the plan has received the definitive sanction of the home funetionaries, for the Marshal only says that he has ‘reason to believe it will be approved;” but never- theless, on his own authority, he has ordered it to be carried into execution. For this stretch of power, the opposition ire accuse him of being mad, or at least of a wilful defiance of the Government and the Chambers; but, from the remarks of the Journal des Debats and other Ministerial organs, it seems that the government does not take the same view of the matter. What the final result will be wali be known after Bugeaud’s euskal with the Ministers. ens Carrure or a Pirate Staver.—There has been on the west coast of Africa, a most gallant and suc- cessful engagement between the boats of one of her Majesty’s ships, and a large pirate slaver. A corres- pondent at St, ‘Thomas's furnishes the following in- teresting particulars. _ ‘ The boats engaged in the affair belonged to the Pantaloon, 10, sloop, Commander, Edmund Wilson. The prize is a remarkably fine vessel of about 400 tons, polacre rigged, with immense sails, She is of great celebrity on the coast, is armed with four 12 pounders, and had a mixed crew, composed chiefly of Spaniards, amounting to about 58; and was equipped for any villainous service, whether slave dealing or piracy. » The Pantaloon had been bafHed in her chase of this vessel, supposed to be a slaver, for two or three days, and it appears trom what our correspondent has stated, the pirate after leading the Pantaloon away to St. Thomas’, and out-sailing her, doubled on the cruiser, and then ran to Lagos; but Captain Wilson was too old an officer on the coast to be taken in, and on the morning of the 26th of May the sloop and the stranger Ga oe sight of each other, about two miles distant, off Lagos, beealmed. ‘The pirate hoisted no colors, and the Captain of the Pantaloon, desirous of renewing his attentions, sent the cutter and two whale boats, under the command of the Firet Lientenant, Mr. Lewis de T. Provost, with the master, Mr. J. T. Croute, and the boatswain, Mr. Pasco, with marines and seamen, amountinz to about thirty altogether, to make a more intimate acquaintance with the stranger, taking special care, however, to be fully aware of a warm reception. The pirate gave the boat an indication of what they were to expect, as they neared, by opening on them a heavy fire of round shot, grape and cantar, in euch a spirited style that, after returning the com- pest by a volley of musketry, the boate prepared for the hard work. Animated by the show ol re- sistance, each boat now emulated the other in reach- ing the enemy, the pirate continuing a sharp fire as they steadily advanced, the marines as briskly using. their muskets. In halfan hour from the discharge of the first gun from the pirate, the boats of the Pan- taloon were alongside, Lieutenant Provost and Mr. Pasco on the starboard, and Mr. Croute in the cut- ter, on the port side. The pirate crew, sheltering themselves as much as possible, nevertheless con- tinued to fire the guns, loading them with all sorts of misstles—bullets, nails, lead, &e., and amidst a shower of these, our brave sailors and marines dashed on board. Lieutenant Prevost and his party, in the two boats notwithstanding the warm reception, were soon on the deck of the prize. The master boarded on the port bow, and despite of the formidable resistance | und danger, followed by one of his boat’s crew, ac- tually attempted to enter the ortfas they were firing the gun from it. He succeeded in getting through, but the seconder was knocked overboard by the discharge—the gallant fellow, however, nothing daunted, was in an instant up the side a; ain, taking lay dead on the deck, and seven or eight more were severely wouaded, ihat they ran below or yielded. Tt may nav d that in such a hard and lant boats’ crews did not eseape unscathed.” are sorry to say that a fine able seaman, named Henry Jackson, was killed, and a private Royal Marine was so severely wounded that he died a very short time after. The master was severely wounded ; Pasco, the boatswain, was slightly wounded ; as were also four others, Carrick, the Captain’s coxswain; Southton, a quarter mas- ter; Harmer, an able seaman, and a marine named Freemantle. An able seaman, named Jones, was severely wounded. India and Chin The Overland Maul arrived in London oa the Ist instant, : f i The news from Scinde is of some interest. The tract of country on the western bank of the Indus, recently ceded to the governor by Meer Ali Moorad, having been invaded and plundered by the neigh- boring tribes, it had been deemed expedient to send a wing of the Bombay Native Infuntry for the pur- pose of chastising the marauders; and the non-ar- rival of news from this detachment has led to the inference that reinforcements would be wanted, and that the afluir had been found to be more serious than was in the first instance anticipated. The controversy respecting the merits or de- merits of Sir C. Napier raged as fiercely as ever, and was now no longer confined to the newspapers. ‘The salt duties were also a subject of discussion, and, of course, also of unfavorable comment.

JONFLICT BETWEEN THE ENGLISH AND THE Na- tives at MapaGascar.—In the beginning of May last, Ranavalo Manjaka, the Queen of Madasascar, issued orders that all the English and French resi- ding in her dominions should, within eleven days, become her subjects, by having themselves register- ed and naturalised as ida apo or that they should immediately quit the island. “On the receipt of this intelligence, the Governor of the Maritius, Sir William Gomm, degpatched her Majesty’s schooner Thunder with the information to the Admural of the station at the Cape of Good Hope, gi- ving tothe captain instructions to touch on his way at Tamatave, and to tell the terrified foreigners there that the British governor of the Maritius and the French Governor of Bourbon would with- out delay, send succour to them. The Thunder sailed from the Mauritius on the 5th of June, and her Majesty’s ship Conway proceeded to Tamatave on the 7th, and the Governor of Bourbon sent the French ship of war Zelee and Berceau to meet the Conway. It appears that the attempt to negociate was unsuccessful, and an obstinate conflict took place. Finally both the English and French ships returned to the Mauritius and Bourbon for rein foreements, taking off from ‘Tamative the English and French subjects, who were the immediate cause _ of ie quarrel. The following account of the aflair is taken from a Mauritius paper of June 28th :—“Her Majes- oe frigate Conway, and his French Majesty’s ship ‘elee and the Berceau, met in Tamative Roads, ac- cording to the arrangement agreed to by the Gov- ernors of Bourbon and Mauritius. The object of their voyage was to obtain from Ranavalo Manjaka less harsh conditions than those which she had im- posed upon the European traders, whom she had threatened with immediate expulsion and the confis- cation of their property, if they did net become nat- uralized Malgash, that is, slaves. The representa- tives of the two nations not, succeeding in their ne- gotiations, an obstinate combat took place, the de- tails of which have been breught by the Conway. “* Three hundred ana fifty men, geen 100 were French soldiers, and the others belonging to the crews of the three ships, under the commayd_ of Captain Feiseck and Lieutenant Heeeltine, landed cn the afternoon of the 15th instant, and advanced across a plain, under a sharp fire from the tort and battery of Brave and musketry. The enemy was driven out of the battery, and the guns were spiked. The out-work or screen, which had been supposed to be the fort itself, was stormed and taken. They here discovered the real fort, which is a circular one, and mounting about 30 guns, which were case- mated, and ina circular gallery. The wall is about 30 feet high, and surrounded by a ditch of about the same width. Possession was kept of the top of the screen for upwards of half an hour, and a constant fire kept up. Having no means of breaching the wall, and the men falling fast, they retired, carryin off the flag, for the possession of which the Frenel and English sailors disputed for a long time, but it was finally settled that it should he eanally divided between the two parties, e one obtain. ing a portion with the word ‘Ranavalo,” and the other with ‘Manjaka,” inscribed. They burnt the guard house, custom house, and considerable part of the town. The firing from the ships of war was excellent. ‘They landed next day, and carried off all the remaining European property. The wounded were all brought off, but not the killed, whose heads were next day exposed on the beach, stuck on pikes. ‘The men of war and all the merchant ships sailed from the har bor. The loss in the conflict was as follows :— ‘* English.—Four men killed, and one officer and eleven men wounded. m “French.—Three officers and thirteen men kill- ed, and one oflicer and forty-two men wounded. “The Zelee and the Berceau lost each a topmast from the fire of the enemy; the Conway had only a few ropes cut. Nearly all their balls passed over the ships, which had anchored about 800 yards from the shore.”—Bombay Gentleman's Gazette,July 14. Fashions for September.

I The weather has, since our last, been hi Nfld cious for bringing the grain crops to maturity in the backward districts, and for securing the corn where al- ready ripe Bright sunshine, with drying breezes, were preciesly what was wanted after so great a quantity of rain; and these have been experienced in all parts of the kingdom throughout the week; should September prove equally favorable, the wheat harvest would terminate much more satisfactorily than at one time appeared like- ly; still we much question whether any weather, how- ever propitious, can now make good the ill effects of the wet, cold sum The most pre nt complaint, and that from which reatest deficiency in the produce is feared, has allalong be blanks caused in the ear b; blight.

We sincere- ly trunt that we may be wrong in this conclusion, and shall be happy to hear from such of our agrioultural ds as have put the matter to the test, by thrashing @ perion of the crops, the opinions they entertain on the subject. Whilst the prospects in regard to the result of the wheat harvest have undergone so decided an improve- tato ment, the accounts of the injury sustained by the crop have greatly increased. ‘It is now Lewy feb many of the southern and western counti is extending, and should it unfortunate an east and north, the consequences A material deficiency in the prevece of potatoe: Ng sooner or later, have a decided influence on the con- sumption of bread-stuffs; and the undoubted fact of at im Treland we continue to ant counts of the weather and the crops In the sou parts of the Island a good deal of corn hax alveady bee: carried in, aad farmers, we are told, express themselves satisfied with the result. fine weather and flat repo from this side of the channel, combined, had caused pri ces of wheat, as well as those of oats, to give way, moi or less, at several of the principal markets, but not sufi ciently to leave a margin for profit on shipments to Eng! land.
