      MEETING OF THE FRIENDS OF PEACE AT MANCHESTER . of Manchester iru eonrened in the T « wn Hall to ^ S ^ T ^ ^ ° A Toid waking ttel ? ecial care irhich was taken by the personi baring the management - <* fhte tfair to call the mSteg at faewrng that many irottld be confined in the cotton ^ tonea tiU eight ; but , to their ntterastonishmentthe

      , determined to take their part in the business , Tery justly calculating that in case of war they are likely to be the greatest sufferers . Orer the Chairman was fixed in large characters , a statistical table , headed ' British Wars , " 4 iTid » d into Beparate columns , giving the names of the different wars since the year 1688 . From this table ft appeared the national debt in the first year , 1688 amounted to ^ 21 , 000 , 000 , and in the year 1840 it had been raised to £ 850 , 000 , 000 . The total number of human beings slain -was 4 , 010 , 000 .

      Mr . Aiiswomh , boroughreeve , ha-ring been called to the chair , the following resolution was moTed by Mr . Pearson , and seconded by Mr . Isaac Crewdson : — ^¦ I ' TPS * meetin 8 u strongly impressed with the manifold blessings enjoyed by the nations of Europe , through the long prevalence of general peace ; during which the prejodices and antipathies engendered by former -wars ha-re been materially softened by friendly intercourse , and the people of this and other countries nave found leisure for achieving triumphs in the arts of peace , of far greater importance to the true and lasting glory of mankind than the perishable trophies of war . " The Chairman was about to put the resolution , ¦ when '

      Mr . c « rka > - rose for the purpose of moving an amendment , to the effect , that until the People ' s Charter were carried , we should have no peace at home or abroad . His speech elicited the applause and cheers of the meeting . Mr . Tillmas seconded the amendment The Chairman , seeing that there -would be six to one in its favour , requested the Chartists to withdraw the amendment , and it should be put as a distinct motion afterwards , which was agreed to . Mr . Cobden then moved the next resolution , which ¦ was seeoaded by Mr . William M'Kenan : —

      . " That this meeting would deplore as one of the greatest calamities that could befal mankind a rupture of the friendly relations which have for a quarter of a century existed between France and England , with so much advantage to the interests of both nations , and of the civilised world . Convinced that if the feelings and wishes of the people of the two countries be consulted , us they ought to be , they will equally revolt at the unchrirtian attempt to invole them in the crimes and horrors of war , this meeting calls upon their fellow-countrymen to co-operate with them in offering such an expression of opinion as shall be favourable to the preservation of peace at the present crisis . "

      Mr . Co . nnoe moved as a rider that the way to maintain peace was to do away with a standing army . Mr . eoBDE > - objected to it , and The Chairman refused to put it . J . B . Smith , Esq ., President of the ChambeT of Commerce , moved the following resolution and address to the French nation , which was seconded by Mr DYER : — 3 . " That at the present juncture reserve and apathy would be a culpable neglect of duty , and therefore this meeting agrees to the following address from the French nation , confident that it will be accepted by a great . generous people in that spirit of frankness in which it has originated : — " The address of the inhabitants of Manchester , friends of peace , assembled in public meeting , to the French nation .

      " Friends and Allies , —Ten years ago , upon the occv sion of a portentous crisis in your history , the inhabitants ef Manchester deputed a b&dy of their citizens to convey their sympathies to the inhabitants of Paris . Since that time , has anything occurred to lessen our solicitnde for the ¦ welfare of your great nation ? On the contrary , every succeeding year has taught us to value more dearly a friendship which , we believe , affords the . best guarantee for the peace of Europe . " We should deplore as one of the greatest calamities that could befal mankind , any interruption of the amity which has now for a quarter of a century existed between us , with so much advantage to the interests of both nations . "VVe trust that these viewB are shared by the great body of the French people , YfUQ Will Unite with us in considering as the enemies of the human race all those who may endeavour to involve the two countries in the crimes and harrora of war .

      " Frenchmen , —The prowess of your nation is established by the common consent of mankind . Fame has plated your people in the highest rant Tor bravery and fortitude . If military renown were worthy of a nation ' s ambition , your fathers have left you nothing to gain in the pursuit of martial glory . Te every generation is afforded a field ef greatness—ours is the age of improvement- Signalise yourselves , then , in the arts of peace , they are infinitley more beneficial than the aru of war , and to excel- in them is far more glorious . To subject nations to the permanent ind-uecce of your beautiful language , tout science and philosophy , would

      be achieving f-j nobler and more lasting triumphs than are to be found amongst the perishable trophies of war . " Friends and Allies , —We are the advocates of a perfect freedom of commerce between all the nations of the wurid : what benefits , then , can war or conquests confer upon us ? We pledge ourselves to us ^ our best exertiuns to induce the government and people of this country to avoid war ; and we call on you to unite with us in the use of every honourable means to preserve peace and friendship between France and England , upon whose alliance so greatly depends not only the peace and improvement of Europe , but the liberty and happiness of the whole family of man . "

      That meeting being ended , the Chartists elected Mr . Joseph Lmney to take the chair , when the following res-jlutions -were submitted by Messrs Tillman , Curran , Cartledge , Campbell , and others , and carried unanimously : — 1 . " That it is the opinion of this meeting that the present condition of the working classes of Great Britain and Ireland demands the most striouj attention « f all those who wish to see peace , happiness , and prosperity , permanently established both at home and abroad ; and this meeting cannot refrain from expressing its decided conviction , founded upon past experience , that nothing can produce so desirable a state of improvement , and permanently secure the elements of peace in this empire , until the People ' s Charter becomes the law of the land , and thereby embody within the pale of the British constitution all classes of her Majesty ' s subjects . "

      2 . " That , in the opinion of this meeting , the law of impressment and balloting for militia is a despotism . and ought not to be resorted to by any government without the sanction of the whole people , chosen by Universal Suffrage and Vote by Ballot " 3 . " That it is the opinion of this meeting , that no guvmment has a right to declare war against any nation without the consent of tLe people , -who have to pay the necessary expences attendant upun such unnatural and nefarious proceedings ; and it Is therefore an imperative doty incumbent upon this meeting to enter its protest against any declaration of war with any other country , by the government , without the consent of the nation , obtained on the just principles of Universal Suffrage . " Mr . Wakres then rose and moved the following resolution ' : —

      " That this meeting deeply laments the misunderstanding that has truherto exisv ; d between the middle and -wurkicg classes of society , aDd feeling sensible that no great object can be accomplished without the union of the industrious , wealth-pruducing portions oi the community , most cordially call upon every frienii of liberty to come forward and put forth their best energies in the support of every measure that shall tend to the furtherance of universal freedom . " Mr . WiiKi > , ano : her Corn Law repealer , rose tc second it , when Mr . Tillma . n said the resolution was nothing but 3 dap-trap to delude the working cla&sts . Mr . Charles Co . n . nou moved the following additioi toi :: —• ' That the m . jst expedient way to carry out the preceding resolutions , -was for the middle classes tt unite with the working classes to obtain VniTeTSa suffrage . "

      To out surprise , Mr . "Warren objected to its being put ; when the Chartists , not wiiiins to be duped , ordered it to be put , which was done , and it was carried amid the acclamations of the assembly . The BullOl'GlllillilVi ; , before leaving the chair , gave the working men great credit fur their behaviour on a . L occasions ; he therefore would trust them with the nse of the room . Three cheers were given for Feargus O'Connor anO the Star , three for the Welsh prisoners , and three foi the Charter , and the meeting separated highlj delighted wi-. h the business of the evening . jj ^^^ jrir . irjij ^^ fcT-. r . r . -. -,- -,., _ .

      the fact before the magistrates . On hearing this confession , Walbank , terrified lest they should make an attempt to carry their diabolical plan into execution , went into the Buck and found Harrison there with the bundle as described , and was ftirther confirmed in the truth of L » nTi statement by SMin * the two bottles , and a something which he believed to be the bundle of weft . The unexpected app « arance of Walbank , and his knowledge of the plot , had the effect of preventing the attempt , and H&sriwm had to go away diBappointed and chop-fallen at the conduct of his assistant Had the villains succeeded , the poor fellow would , in all probability , have been fined £ * 0 for having weft and spirits in his house—a circumstance which would have entirely ruined him . Two other attempts made by Harrison were rather more successful . He went into the house of Mr . James Riley , who has a license to sell beer off the

      premises , and pretended to be a traveller wanting lodgings . He was in liquor at the time , but through his apparent honesty , Riley granted his request . Next day he came again , and wanted lodgings as before , which w « re refused , on the ground that he had been very noisy on the night before , in his sleep , through being drunk . He then wished to be indulged with a pint of ale , assuring the landlord that , as his lodger , it was perfectly legal , and that he would suffer death rather than do him any harm . Riley , with a great deal of persuasion , at last consented , and just at the pint was filled , Sugden , the constable , who had been a party to the trick , came in , when Harrison

      immediately handed him the beer , so that he might drink , and be enabled to lay the information . Another victim marked out by Harrison and his employers , was Mr . Christopher Kaye , a shoemaker , who sells beer on the same footing as Riley . Tois second Judas went in at night on pretence that he wanted a shoe mending . After Bitting some time , and professing the greatest friendship , he so far won upon Kaye and his wife , as to persuade them to fill him a pint of ale . As in the former case , it was no sooner filled than Sugden again made his appearance ; but while Harrison was in act of handing him the pint , the mistress struck it out of his hand .

      ThiB is the wretch who entrapped , and then betrayed the Bradford Chartists ; and , for want of higher game , i 3 now going round the country at the instigation of the publicans and others , to ruin a number of beersellers .

      THE SPY CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP . NEWPORT POLICE . —Tuesdat , Nov . 3 . ( Before Thomas Hawkins , Esq ., Afayar , and Sir Thomas Phillips . J George Frowen was placed at the bar on a charge of perjury . It appears the prisoner had been for some time giving information on oath to the magistrates of the borough , respecting the concealment of ammunition , arms , and explosive missiles , and of plots and contrivances for their use , which seriously implicated a person named Alexander , who keeps a beer-shop in Llanarth-street , and whose name was connected with the Chartists in the proceedings which took place last year . The information thus given was so circumstantial and detailed , that the magistrates thought it necessary to issue a warrant for searching the house of Alexander , which was accordingly executed . On a minute examination of the premises , nothing was found to countenance the

      statements which had been made by the prisoner which were then suspected to be vrholly unfounded and untrue , and he was accordingl y taken into custody on the charge of perjury . Mary Alexander was the first witness called , and having been sworn , she stated that she was the wile of Robert Robinson Alexander , who keeps a beershop in Llanarth-street , in this borough . She first saw prisoner about two months ago , when he came to her house , and asked to see her husband ; she did not 6 ee him in the house aeain till Wednesday , the 28 th of October , when he came in and had some beer , and asked her several questions as to the number of rooms in her house , and whether a door in the room where he sat was that of a cupboard , or of another room . He then went away , and shortly after the officers came and searched the ' house . There was a meeting held at her house a few weeks ago , but she could not tell if the prisoner was present ; he might have been one of those who were therfl .

      Robert Robinson Alexander was next called and sworn—He stated that he saw the prisoner for the first time , in the first week in the month of September ; he then came to his house , and said he had come from Pontypool from a person named Thomas Parry ( an acquaintance of \ vitue 3 s ) and asked him to come over to Pontypool on the Monday following , to attend a Chartist meeting . Witness did not go and on the Monday he saw prisoner in Newport , when he thought he was in Pontypool attending the supposed meeting . The prisoner represented himself as a member of the Chartist Society , and said that he had a fortnight's notice to leave his work in consequence of attending their meetings . There -svere several persons present when the prisoner spoke of the meeting at Pontvpool . and he invuethem all to

      a come , and Mid all their expences should be paid . He next saw prisoner on a Saturday , some time after this , when he called at his house , and said he came to inform him that Thomas Parry and fourteen or fifteen others , persons from I ontypool , were then waiting for him at the Bridge Inn , and they wished to see him . Witness ' s wife being ill , he declined to go , but prisoner urged him so much that he at last accompanied him , but when he arrived at the Bridge Inn , there was no person there waiting for him . Witness wrote to Parry to inquire if he had been to Newport to enquire for him , and found that he had not , and also that he had not sent prisoner to him . Witness next saw prisoner on the afternoon of Wednesday last , when he charged him with having made false representations with respect to Parry , when prisoner made lame exenses . On the same evening the ofecers came and searched his howse . In answer to

      prisoner , witness said he had not been in Bristol since last July ; that a small hamper was not brought to his house on Monday evening , the 2 tiih of Oct . by any person ; and that he was not out of his house on the evening on which the Chartist meeting was held in Victoria-square in this town . Sir Thomas Phillips then proceeded to ask witness some questions , but before doing go he said that he did not put those questions to gratify mere idle curiosity , not without good cause , but he put them to afford the witness an opportunity of publicly contradicting the allegations to which they referred , vv itness then , in answer to Sir Thomas Phillips , said , that he never accompanied witness to Cardiff , and that he had not been in that town for two years ' ; he never accompanied him to Blackwood , nor had he ever been in the Coach and Horses there .

      Witness know the hwe Balls at Cardiif , which was kept by a person uamed Brown ; he slept there one night , about two years ago . Witness never had any conversation with prisoner about explosive missiles , nor about destroying life or property , nor about setting tire to property , nor about using air-guns ; never told prisoner he had an air-gun in a cupboard in his house ; has no arms uor ammunition in his house ; never had any explosive missiles cenct-aled in his house , nor did he ever assist in the conveyance or concealment of any such articles in any place ; nor lias he ever been a party to any plots or contrivances for the use of such thmg ? J nor does he know any person who has any design or intention to use such articles . Prisoner never spoke to him about explosive missiles ; witness did not shew prisoner any hamper in his house on the evening oi Mondav week .

      Sir Thomas Phillips , after consulting with the Mayor , said that the Bench had determined on admitting the prisoner to bail , because they entertaiued a doubt whether the evidence would be sufficient to sustain an indictment for perjury . If they did not entertain this doubt they would not take bail , but would commit him for trial . The prisoner was then ordered to enter into his own recognizances for £ 100 , and to give two or more sureties , in the whole amounting to £ 100 , to appear at the next assiz-s tor this county , to answer any charge which may be made against him , or else to stana committed to the county gaol .

      Sir Thomas Phillips said , betore this case was dismissed , he should wish te slate , iu the presence of Mr . Alexander , and of those persons who share bis opinions , if any such happened to be present , that the magistrates , whose duty it was to watch over and preserve the peace of the town , while they would encourage and reward all those who afforded them true information of the proceedings of those who might be practising against its trauquillity , yet that they would at all times discountenance and discourage , and , to the utmos : of their power , punish such as might , from any motive , give them false information . The prisoner , we understand , in default of bail , was sent to Monmouth Gaol yesterday morning . — Monmouthshire Merlin .

      LEEDS . Town Council . —The first meeting of the Council after the late municipal election was held at the Court House on Monday . Before the minutes of the proceedings of the last meeting had been read by the Town Clerk every member of the Cnuicil was present , including Messrs . Howard , Potts , and Richardson , the three members who had been declared duly returned for Mill Hill Ward , although there were only two to be elected . Mr . Edward Baines , jun ., was also present ; but on Mr . Hayward ' s inquiring what ward he sat for , and other tories wanting to have him turned out , Mr . Baiues left the body of the room , and managed to squeeze in among the strangers , by whom the gallery was

      crowded , a regular row in the Council having been generally anticipated . After the preliminary business had been got througfc , the Town Clerk , at tho request of the Mayor , read an opinion of the Attorney-General and Mr . Wightman with respect to the triple return for Mill Hill Ward , and they decided that Messrs . Howard and Richardson ( having the majority of votes ) were duly elected , and ougnt to sit , and that Mr . Potts' vote . Bhould ho tender it ought not to be received . The Mayor expressed his determination to act upon this advice ; and Mr . Potts said he should tender his vote , and then retire . Dr . Williamson then proposed tne present Mayor ' ( Mr ! Smith ) as a proper persou to be elected to that office for the year ensuing . Alderman Brown seconded

      the motion . Mr . Councillor Howard moved that Mr . Braraley be the Mayor for the year ensuing ; and the nomination was seconded by Mr . Martin Cawood . On the votes being recorded , the Town Clerk omitted Mr . Potts , and the result was declared to be for Alderman Smith , 33 ; for Councillor Bramlev , 28 ; majority for the re-election of tne Whig Mayor . 4 . Mr . Potts tendered his vote , and wished tu ask some questions of the Towu Ck-rk ; but as that officer refused to answer them , he left the room , Mr . Councillor Atkinson calling out to him that he hoped they should soon see him there again . It appears the Tories will make an application to the Court < A' ( iueeu ' s Bench on the subject of the double votes , the result of

      which may reseat two of the lately elected Whigs ; in the meantime the actual result of the last election is , as stated in our last , eight Tories and eighi Whigs , giving the Whigs a majority of four upon the whole Corporation . Tne newly-elected Mayor then signed the declaration of office ; and in returning thanka for the honour conferred 011 him said that during the year there had been no riots or cause of disorder in the towu . At the commencement of his Mayoralty there had been a little excitement on account of the political movements of the Chartists . He had exerted himself in order to preserve the peace ; but he was glad to say that in this town the system advocated by the Chartists did not exist to any great extent . He was uot aware that they held at but

      any meetings present ; , if bo , they were secret , and unknown to the magistrates and police of tho town ! The next three quarterly meetings of the Council were fixed for the first Wednesday in the ensuing months of February , May , and August . The thanks of the Council were then given to Mr . John Smith , Treasurer of the Corporation , and he was re-appointed to the office for the ensuin" year . Mr . Councillor Baker moved that in lieu ot appointing a printer and stationer for the ensuing year , it should be referred to the Finance Committee to ascenain , by advertisement or otherwise , whether it could not be done , by tender , or otherwise , upon the best and cheapest terms , and to report thereon to the Council . Mr . Atkinson moved as an amendment , that Messrs . Cuilingworth and Sons be

      appointed printers . Mr . Atkinson stated that the motion of Mr . Baker was put forward because it was seen that the patronage was passing from the hands of hiB party . On the amendmeut being put , it was rejected by 30 to 24 , and the motion passed . The Council then went iuto committee to consider a report ( from the Finance Committee ) of bills and expences for carrying out the Acts relating to Municipal Corporations . The Tories objected to the sums of £ 10 each being paid to the Mercury and Times for advertising the report of the Chancery Suit Committee . They contended that Committee had no right to advertise , and oharge upon the bur gesses , a report which had not at the time so much as been presented to the Council . Ou the question being brought to the vote , the expenditure was allowed by a majority of 30 to 34 . The Tories also

      Railway AcciDENTS .-The Railway Times , in noticing the injurious effects of accidents upon railway property , states that the receipts of the London and south Western ( Southampton ) Company for the eight days immediately following the occurrence of the late frightful accident upon that line , were less by £ 700 ( or one-seventh part of the whole amount ) than the receipts of the eight days immediately preceding it . Suicides iw Fhance . —Since the revolution , the number of suicides in France has been calculated to amount to , on an average , about eight each day . Another calculation makes the daily number of suicides to be no fewer than twenty , or nearly 7 500 per annum , as the nHmber ascertained and reported to the authorities is supposed to bear only a small proportion to the real amount .

      The Will of Hugh M'Intosh , Esq ., the great Railway Contractor—The will of Hugh M'lntosh Lsq ., late of Bloomsbury-square , in the county ef Middlesex , the great railway contractor , whose name is familiar with most ) of our readers , has ju 3 t been proved in the Prerogative Court of the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury , in Doctors' Commons , by his son , David M'Jitosh , and Timothy Tyrrel , Esqrs ., the executors . The personal property of the deceased has been sworn to be under the value of £ 300 , 000 , and a stamp duty of £ 3 , 750 has been paid on the probate . The will is contained in one sheet of

      paper , and , singular to relate , without making any bequest of his property , so that the whole of his immense fortune will go to the widow and children in the same manner as if he had died intestate , with the exception , that in the event of his having died without a will , the duty to Government would have been £ 5 , 625 , consequently saving £ 1 , 875 . The deceased was originally of humble occupation , but by perseverance and industry accumulated the immense fortuue which he died possessed of . The whole of the London and Greenwich Railway was built b y him , and also the greater portion of the East Iudia Docks . —Britannia .

      The Biggleswade " Monket . "—At the last session , held at Bedford , an incorrigible little fellow , named David Owen , only eleven years of age , was convicted of having stolen a watch . He is represented as being one of the most mischievous little imps in the neighbourhood . One of his favourite pursuits lately has been that of climbing the church steeple , and turning the hands of the clock to the serious inconvenience and great annoyance of the peaceable inhabitants of the town . These freaks arc , however , suspended for a time ; and , by direction of the court , he will have his bseb cooled for two months , and his back warmed two days in the house of correction . We trust the discipline of his new residence will work a certain reformation in him , for the benefit of society generally , and himself particularly . —Hertford Reformer .

      The execution of Elizabide took place at Bordeaux on luesday morning . An immense crowd was assembled to witness the ceremony . The criminal was informed onl y an hour before that his application to the King for mercy had been rejected ; but he submitted with much calmness , and underwent the preparations of the toilette with firmness . The Abbe Promis attended to give him the last succours of religion . On arriving at the scaffold the crowd hooted and clapped their hands , and the public indignation was strongly expressed . Elizabide mounted the steps , however , with coolness , and spoke to the executioners . He knelt down to makea short prayer , and the Abbe Promis gave him the crucifix to kiss for the la ? t time . In another minute he had ceased to live . The Abbe was so much affected that he fainted away , and had to be earned to a coach which was in waiting .

      Extensive Robbery at Liverpool—Dreadful Attack on the Police . — -Iu consequence of information having been received at the Police-office of a robbery being committed on the premises of Mr . torsyth , in Grove-street , several officers of the constabulary force were appointed to discover the depredators . A clue was eventually found to a house iu Laurel-street , in which it was suspected that the property was secreted . Precautions were taken to prevent , as far as possible , tho escape of auy guilty parties . Two men were placed in front of the house , and one at the back . An entrance was effected by the front at about one o ' clock on Friday last . The officers were immediately and severely-attacked by three men and one woman . One

      of the men had a hammer , which he wielded in a most furious manner . A combat ensued , in which two of the policemen were so grievously injured t iat it was found necessary to send them to the Infirmary . Three men were taken into custody who were found in the house . Mr . Dowling , Commissioner of Police for Liverpool , was soon after on the premises , and found the whole of the property stolen from Mr . Forsyth ' s , in Grove-street , together with an immense quantity of articles , including plate , jewellery , watches , and other valuable ? , the evident accumulation of a long and systematic course of depredation . There were also fouud

      complete and most ingenious seta of house-breaking instruments , some of them so new and crafty that they were worthy of a " patent , " did the Government condescend to grant exclusive privileges to the clever descendants of Jack Sheppard . A quantity of jewellery wag found packed up in soldered tin cases and picklo jars ; also crucibles for melting metals , and , as a matter of course , making base coin . Two of the policemen were much injured—one of them seriously , but we hope not mortally . Two of the men taken into custody are well known to the police here , as well as in Birmingham . The others are understood to be of the " swt-11 mob" of London .

The taste of Royalty is not always in unison with the taste of rational and well thinking people .

      Prince Albert must be , in the nature of things , a good horseman , much as may be said to the contrary ; for it is clear that , by his sudden military advancement , he has rode over the heads of almost every officer , old and young , in her Majesty ' s service . Melbourne perceiving Hobhousein a very forward state of spirituality one day at a Cabinet Council , could not refrain exclaiming , " O , that men should put an enemy into their mouths to steal away their brains . " ¦ "True , " hiccupped Hobby ; " thank God I stand excused of any such folly as that—I never put anything in my mouth to steal atcau my brains . " This we think is palpable enough .

      Of course , as the marmosets presented to the ^ tjeen , by theJDuchcss of Braganza , have had conferred on them the prefix of "Royal , " should the female give birth to a son , as it is not improbable she may , it will enjoy by courtesy the title of " Prince . " Well , one thing is certain , it will not be likely to disgrace the sobriquet !

      A WHIG CABINET TOAST . The people , the source of all power , ' t should seem May they keep at the source , and we govern the stream . The Windsor correspondent of the Herald says that Prince Albert , on his visit to the Windsor Union Workhouse , expressed himself delighted with the general arrangements" of the plate . Of course the fact of his " Royal Highness" being a Field Marshal enabled him to judge of the " general arrangements" alluded to . The female marmoset , accompanied by her liege lord , will proceed to Buckingham Palace with the Court , on its quitting Windsor , as it is the wish of the Sovereign disposer of blessings over these realms that th e " little teer" should be confined in town

      The terh of national endearment bestowed upon the Queen , of " little lady , " no longer applies ; for if we are to believe all that is said about her Prince ly state , the " little" word should give place to s less , but one quite as big in importance , though of contrary meaning . The best proo p that can be adduced of the declining state of kingcraft is the tact of so many of the trade retiring from business ; if they go on itt this way long , there will not be a crowned head left iu Europe ! When Prince Albert returned from inspecting the Union pauper-house , tho other day , the question put by Victoria was a 3 to how his " Royal Highness" had been amused !

      Some people are impressed with the belief that the matrimonial unions of the aristocracy are desig nated " marriages iu high , life , " from the circumstance that alL matches of the kind are made in Heaven . By this parity of reasoning wo are a * liberty to infer , then , that unions in low life are contracted in the " other place . " Now , we ' are disposed to think it is just the reverse . Pea-green Hatne , who made so much noise in the London world some years ago , died at Miles ' a madhouse at Hoxton , about 4 years since , deserted and neglected by all his old associates who , in his palmy days , used to flutter round him . And the well known Charles Wright , of champagne celebrity , died in Finch ' s den at Kensington .

      Dr . Spuruin , the mad doctor , has been submitting a plan for preventing railway accidents by hanging a heavy load under the boi ' . y of the carriage . If he would only hang his own head there U would no doubt be found sufficiently heavy to prevent the carriage running away , and would have the additional advantage of preventing him from running away with another person's liberty . It is a curious fact that Louis Philippe , now King of Frauce , was usher in thfr house which is now Finch ' s madhouse at Kensington , when it was a boy ' s school .

      In addition to a German secretary , a German organist , or hurdy-gurdy player , three ot four German footmen , some German gamekeeperS vaud halfa dozen German supernumeraries . Prince Albert has a German riding-master , one Htrr Myers , wh * is engaged daily in teaching the Prince how to keep his seat in the saddle , a matter of extreme difficulty , as his "Royal Highness" never crossed a horse till he came to this country , and which is- held to be a necessary accomplishment in a yoiuig gentleman holdings Field Marshal ' s Commission , aud being moreover , the Colonel of a regiment of hussars , and the nominal owner of a pack of hounds 1 His " Royal Highness , " we are happy tohear , " gets on " very ¦ well , and we are quite > ure- there would no impediment to his " getting off" with equal facility .

I Last "week this disgrace to humanity , in company ' with twe others of a similar stanip , named Lord and ; Sharp , "were making attempts at lining the different j beer-sellers The methods adopted by these wretches to betray their victims have been various , and may serve to "warn others of the plans of these miscreants and their supposed employers , the landlords of the regular licensed public-houses . On Wednesday Harrison and Lord went to TTtley , about a mile from Keighley , to entrap Joseph Walbank , a beer-seller , whose principal crime seems to have been the selling of beer near the Roebuck publichouse , kept by Mr . Thomas Smith . Shortly after their arrival at the Buck , Lord went into the beer shop and told Walbank that he was employed by Harrison to entrap him , but through having formerly known him , and feeling some little respect for him , he had thought it advisable to give him notire of his danger . He candidly told him that Harrison ' s plan was to send him into his house with a bundle containing two bottles of rum and a bunch of wef t , and that the landlord of the Buck "was to set off in the meantime and bring the constable , Jsha Sugden , commonly ealled " Sweet Tit , " I and Richmond , the inspector , to take the articles on the premises , so that they could conscientiously swear to

" The Windsor Correspondent of a daily paper stated , tho other day , that the foundation of the dog-kenuel " / or Prince Albert" was in an advanced state , to receive the superstructure . The Master oi the Royal Household denies the fact of its being built expressly " for the Prince . " He does not mean , we hope , to insinuate that it was built " for our dear little Queeu I "

      It has been . suggested that if Ben D'Israeli could be induced to accompany Herr Kohl , Prince Albert ' hurdy-gurdy player , on the Jew ' s harp , upon which instrument the young Rabbi of Maidstone is known to perform with great skill , that the combined excellence of the pair would electrify Royalty , and create a wondrous sensation over the faculties of eyes and ears !
