Her Majesty is in excellent health at Brightonan d takes an airing as often as the weather permits. As the day approaches, the interest manifested in her Majesty's visit to Guildhall increases, and the streets are generally full of curious gazers, who are determined to see the preparation for i:, if they do not witness the pro- cession itself. Seats have been erected at St. Mary's and St. Clement's Churches in the Str nd, and at St. Dunstan's, Fleet-street, to accomodate the children and the patrons and patronesses of schools attached to these parishes. In the front and at the south and south-east sides, seats are erected for the scholars and friends of St. Paul's School and for the friends of the dignitaries of the Cathedral. At the north-west end of Cheapside an extensive platform is in the course ot construction for the scholars of the New City School.—On Saturday last a gentleman gave a draft for thirty sovereigns on his banker, to a householder near Tem- ple-bar, Fleet-street, for the use of a first and second floor, with three windows in each, to accomodate a family who were to come from Devonshire, to see the Queen and pro- cession pass. The Morning Post savs—"We have the authority of one of the first banking-houses in the city for stating that the Bankers propose sending out for payment, Oil the 8th of Nov. such hills as are due on the 9th, and not addressed payable at bankers," to afford the parties the option of paying them. The Bankers also intend to limit their trans- actions at the clearing-house to half-past two, instead of four as usual." The address in the House of Commons will be moved by Lord Leveson, Member for Morpeth; and seconded by Mr. Gibson Craig, the Member for the county of Edinburgh. Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, appointed Deputy Ranger of Bushy Park by the late King, has had his appoint- ment renewed. Mrs. Campbell, wife of the Hon. Captain Campbell, brother to Earl Cawdor, has been appointed one of the Women of the Bedchamber to the Queen. We are gratified to find that Sir Robert Peel ap- pears to be in excellent health, and that he has accepted an invitation to dine at the Guildhall on the 9th of Novem- ber, and is very confidently expected by his friends to be present on that occasion. An attempt cf the Earl of Westmoreland to create voters for the county of Huntingdon, by given fictitious annuities to two individuals, has drawn forth the severe re- probation of the Revising Bairister of that county. The attempt was a downright fraud, and deserved exposure and punishment.—Leeds Mercury. Nearly lOOOi. was raised by sale of fancy articles made by Ladies in the neighbourhood of Dudley, at Bazaar recently held in that town. The money is to build a new Church on the Glee Hill. The late Joseph Egerton, Esq., of Barnparks, Teign- month, formerly of Great Cumberland-street, bequeathed 2DOOl. to each of the following Charitable Societies, free of duty—National Benevolent, Refuge foe Destitute, London Orphan Asylum, London Female Penitentiary, and London Philanthropic Society. A Society is said to have been formed in Guernsey by the Jews for the conversion of the Gentiles" to J udaism By the new prison rules which have received the sanction of the Secretary of State, culprits sentenced to solitary confinement will have to pass one day in five in a dark ceil. The paragraph which has appeared in most of the morning papers, stating that Mr. Roebuck was gone to Canada, is, says the Courier, without foundation. One of the Chesterpapers states that Mr. Chadwick, Secretary to the Poor Law Commission, and Commissioner of Rural Police, has been pursuing his inquiries into the •working of the Cheshire constabulary force, preparatory, it is said, to the bringing forward in the ensuing parliament of a bill for the establishment of a general system of police in England. At Newcastle Sessions, last week, the Learned Re- corder sentenced Elizabeth Heslop, a little girl eight years old, who had stolen some money from a person in whose house she lived, to twelve months' hard labaur; and a woman of wealth and education to six months' imprisonment, for series of robberies in the houses of her husband's tenants, which mild punishment for so high an offence the Learned Judge justified by saying he did not think the thief actuated by criminal feeling, but by a new and sudden impulse!!— H Prodigious!" SPEKDY JUSTICE.—Justice, we are told, is slow but sure the case of Davis, at our Sessions, is a proof she is not always tardy. John Davis stole a horse on Friday night in Buckinghamshire; at three o'clock on Saturday afternoon he was taken into custody at Coventry, 48 miles from the place were he committed the offence. The next morning, Monday (Sunday being no day in law), at nine o'clock he was fully committed to take his triai at twelve the Grand Jury had found a true bill against him; at one o'clock he was arrainged and instantly tried, found guilty, and received sentence of transportataion tor ten years.— Coventry Standard. THE BAYONET CASE.—In the Central Criminal Court, on Saturday, George Smith, a soldier, was indicted for the manslaughter of James Chaplin, at Hampstead, hy stabbing him with a bayonet (the account of which appeared in onr paper of the 20th ult.), the Grand Jury having ignored the bill for wilful murder. Robert Burrows, a private in the Coldstream Guards, deposed to accompanying the prisoner, his brother, and others to the Three Horse Shoes, at Hamp- stead, where other soldiers had assembled, the deceased sitting anwng them. In the course of the evening a dispute arose about the reckoning, and witness had a fight with the prisoner, who while on his knees received a severe blow on the head from the deceased, wh. afterwards followed the prisoner, threatening all the time to serve him out. The prisoner was in liquor, but Chaplin was the least intoxicated of them aU. The prisoner did not return the blow given him by the deceased. Other witnesses gave similar evidence, an I added that Chaplin followed the prisoner and his brother, and it would appear that from the violent conduct of the deceased, a scuffle ensued, during which the prisoner stabbed him wirh his bayonet. The prisoner, on being taken into custody, said, h Poor fellow, I am sorry it happened !"— Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good character, and dpta;lerl many circumstances on the night the deceased was stabbed, in proof that Chaplin had urged him on by his violent conduct to the committal of the act.—The Jury reo tired to consider their verdict at six o'clock, and came into the Court at five minutes past eight.—The foreman returned the following verdict:—"We acquit the prisoner of murder, but find him Guilty of Manslaughter, and we beg most strongly to recommend him to mercy, on account of the great provocation he received." The Court was much crowded during the day, and the case lasted from 10 o'clock in. the morning. The prisoner during the trial was permitted tn eit in the dock, owing to his being in a state of ill-health. He wa»still clad in his regimental attire. NATIONAL EDUCATION.—An interesting public meet- ing was held at the Manchester Theatre on Thursday eve- uinz last, cn t'e important subject of National Education. Lord Brougham and the Bishop of Norwich were invited to attend, but both were pi evented from being present; the former on account of the iilness of some members of his fa- mily, the latter in consequence of being obliged to give preference to the discharge ot certain episcopal duties. The chair was ably filled by Mr. Mark Philips, M.P., and the meeting addressed at great length by Mr. Wyse, M. P. tor Waterford, Dr. Jenard, of the London University, Mr. E. J. Stanley, M. P., Mr. Brotherton, M. P., and several other gentlemen. In the midst of a luminous speech, in support of the establishment of a general system of K ational Educa- tion, Mr. Wyse read some extracts from Reportsot the State of Education in Manchester and its vicinity, which quite electrified the meeting, and shewed the necessity of imme- diate alteration.—The following is an extract from Lord Brougham's admirable letter:— in your letter has given me g.rea:e: satisfaction tlwn the statement that those mOlt respectable individualsofthe work- ing-classes who bave distinguished themselves by the pursuit of knowledge, take an interest in the meeting. The education of the working-classes generally, is bevond all comparison the most important subject to wbich (he attention of the country cau be directed. But I do desire not to be misunderstood Litlle as I should wish to mix political matters with a question in which all parties ought to agiee, because all have the same interest in it, I must yet protest against the supposition that we can ever re- gard any extension of education as a substitute for the enjoyment of political rights. On the contrary, I consiùer Ibat the amplest extension of those rights is only prevented by the limited enjoy- ment of the advantages of education; amI truly I know oí no class in tbe whole eommunitv more worthy of possessing those rights, or more likeiv to use them conscientiously, independently, and for the interests of the State both safely and beneficially, than the well-unformed artizčlns, who have alreadv struggled with the dilKcultie- of their situation, and have provided for their own instruction, notwithstanding the manifold delects of our present system (if we can call it a system) of education." POSTAGE ON NEWSPAPERS'.—Recent remonstrances to Government on the subject have produced the following Circular, addressed "To all Postmasters." "General Post Ollice, Oct. 20, 1837. I request vou will immediate) v discontinue charging penny postage npon Newspapers pnt into voir oflice for persons residing BEYOND the limits of the. free delivery ufletters; and you will con- tinue to charge that rate ou those newspapers only which are deposited in yonr office addressed to persons within the free de- livery of the town. Newspapers which airive at your office by the General Post, for places within the penny post, or which are put wto a pennv post for conveyance by the General Post to other towns, are still to be delivered free of penny-postage. "(By command) W. L. M ABERLY, Secretary." In consequence of this alteration, newspapers will be con- veyed free by all the Government penny-posts connected with the town where they are posted whereas until now one penny has been charged fur their conveyance by such posts. On the other hand, newspapers delivered within the usual free delivery" ot the the town where they ale posted, will still be charged Id.; the object of this charge being to prevent proprietors bnrthening the Post-office with the circulation of papers in the places of publication, which would require considerably increased establishments, whilst they may be more speedily and effectively distributed by newsmen. THE THAMES TUNNEL.—We are happy to hear that this interesting undertaking is making a slow and sure pro- gress. For the first two or three weeks subsequent to the late irruption not more than a single brick in length was added per week to the whole structure but lately the tunnel has been increased two bricks weekly, so that nearly two feet of brickwork is now added every week to this vast structure, which it appears is almost as much as the engi- neer considers himself justified in accomplishing. The en- gineers have profited by their experience to arm themselves against the efforts of Father Thames at all assailable points, and now will not throw away the smallest chance. Tims, so long as the works are proceeded with under the deepest part of the river, the shield is seldom or ever advanced during high water. EXTENSIVE CHARGE OF SWINDLING AT BIRMING- HAM.—On Thursday, and by adjournment on the following day, Henry Palmer underwent his final examination at the close of which he was fully committed to the Assizes, charged with obtaining money under false pretences, and with an intimation on the part of the prosecutors, that in all probability he wouid also be indicted for a conspiracy to defraud, and perhaps for forgery.—On Mr. Suckling, who was in attendance for the prisoner, requesting the magis- trates to refer the case to the sessions, as they were held earlier than the assizes, the prisoner suddenly exclaimed, Oh, no, by no means, let me take my trial at the assizes, if I wait a little longer for it. I shall then have a judge who will blow the whole of the evidence which the Brum- magem lawyers have brought against me this day to atoms in one hour. No more Brummagem law for me." DESTRUCTION OF A WEST INDIAMAN BY FIRE.—In- telligence reached London on Saturday evening of the almost total loss by fire of the Colonist, at the Motherbank, Ports- mouth. This fine vessel left the London Docks on Wednes- day with a valuable cargo, principally Plantation stores, on a voyage to Barbadoes, and reached Portsmouth the fol- lowing evening, where she anchored for the night. On Friday morning, whilst the crew were making preparations for getting the ship under weigh, smoke was seen to issue from the hold ot the main hatchway and almost immediately after the fire broke forth simultaneously from all the hatch- ways, and spread with the greatest rapidity. The passengers and people below were instantly aroused, and the terror and confusion on board was dreadful. The boats were di- rectly lowered, and the crew and passengers got into them. Many of the latter escaped in a state of almost complete nudity. The escape of one lady and her three children, who remained in the cabin until they were unable to ascend, was most miraculous The mate, observing their perilous situation, was lowered with a rope fastened round his waist, and he brought up the lady and her family, besides saving her cash and jewel-box, and other property of great value, In a few minutes the vessel was on fire from stem to stern, and the flames ascended up the masts, forming a grand but awful sight. She continued burning until 10 o'clock Saturday morning, when her remains was towed ashore on the beach at Blockhouse Point. The Colonist was copper-bottomed, and that alone kept her together for so many hours. No part of her cargo was saved, and the whole interior of the vessel is destroyed, and a small portion of her hull ouly is preserved. The ship was the property of Messrs. Thomas Daniell and Son, West India merchants and ship-owners, of Mincing-lane, and was upwards of 500 tons burthen. The value of the vessel and her cargo has been variously es- timated, but it is belived that the total loss cannot be less than 60,0301. Capt. Smith, the Commander, in his letter to the owners detailing the particulaes of the calamity, states that the fire burst forth so suddenly that it was impossible to preserve anything, and that the crew and passengers were saved with much difficulty. It appears that he was the last to leave the ship; and that to his coolness and courage the passengers and crew are indebted for their lives. He is a great sufferer, h..ving lost everything he possessed on board, and was indebted to the Master of the Simon Taylor for the clothes he stood in. There were six mules, and a great many sheep on deck, which perished in the flames; one lady has lost a jewel box, valued at upwards of 2001.; a gentleman passenger has lost a gold watch and forty so- verigns and many others are considerable losers. The origin of the fire was unknown, but was supposed to have been caused by the ignition of the cargo. Every attention was paid to the passengers and crew of the ship by the Mili- tary, Naval, and Civil Officers of the Garrison and Dock- yard, and the townspeople. The lady who was so miracu- lously preserved, with her children, by the mate, has promised him a reward of 1001. for his intrepidity on the occasion. The Colonist has been many years in the West India Trade and is insured at Lloyd's. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR OCTOBER.—The season has proved most gorgeous; amply have we been compensated for the rigours of the spring, and a most useful lesson has been afforded. Henceforward let no one anticipate evil by the lingerings of winter. We may be permitted at the time to regret the slow approaches of summer but the late sum- mer has presented irrefragable proof that tardiness is not des- truction; on the contrary, that superabundance may rapidly be conferred on those who have yielded to ungrateful mis- givings and gloomy antiefpations. Every private account has confirmed our own widely-extended observation. In the south, wheat was safely harvested; barley and oats, though they suffered in point of colour, sustained no material injury, and every other crop was duly secured. But what shall we say of the north ? Nothing but what may be conveyed by the single word—perfection Scotland suffered exceedingly during the autumn of 1836; but her harvest of the present year has been carried amidst the splendour of one of the finest seasons that the agriculturist could witness, or his most sanguine wishes anticipate. Of the present crops-their pros- pects at least we need only remark that everything on the ground is looking well, if we except the turnips. We grieve to say that, although there are many fine exceptions, nume- rous plots are again ravaged by a grub, which, it is the op- probrium of the farmer to say, no one appears to understand. Its attacks are fearful. But we must return to the subject of the crops. While the land teems with abundance, the tocsin of alarm continues to be sounded, and the reporters of the metropolis make the press a vehicle of mischievous, selfish, designing fallacy. To the never-ceasing assertion that the bad condition of new wheat renders kiln-drying a dernier re- sort, they have now added the terror-conferring prospects of ruin to the newly-sown wheat. The seed, forsooth, is "malted" in the ground it has sent forth a root, hut for lack of rain, has been powerless to protrude a blade. We laugh at the latter complaint, especially as the rain has come, and drowned the alarm of these "fearful adversaries;" but really it is pitiable to be annoyed with the eternal sing-song of "kiln- drying." Here and there, no doubt, a most sample has been produced, and a solitary fact or two may have presented itself, thereby enabling the interested parties to lie like truth." Of Scotland nothing need be said the facts are too potentially conclusive. Of the midland counties, our correspondents in Herts, Derbyshire, &c., confirm our own positive observations as far as respects Berks, Buckingham, and Oxfordshire. From Bath reports we trace that "wheat had been most success- fully harvested tbroughout the greater part of this neighbour- hood. The crop is excellent. The orchards are generally 'I productive in short Providence has been most bountiful to us." This, be it remarked, was long before the confirmed fine. weather. According to accounts from all parts of the couhtry, the harvest seen's to have been completed in the most satisfactory manner. The recent fine weather, while it shortens winter, affords additional sources of gratification to the hus- bandman. All the autumnal crops are in a luxuriant state, and abundance is everywhere acknowledged. The crops of potatoes, turnips, and mangel-wurzel, are luxuriant, and the market gardens have all the freshness of spring. We may add that stock is healthy, and every possible species of food for winter sustenance promise to be abundant. BRITISH ASSOCIATION.—In the Statistical Section, on one of the days, the list mentioned a paper on the Cellars of Liverpoolwhich a person reading, innocently exclaimed, "I wonder if there caD be any account of the wtne in them?"—Lord Northampton made a very apt quotation on the reading of Capt. Donham's paper "oo the deposite in the Mersey." It appears, said his Lordship, that the qnality of the Mersey is not strained."—Literary Gas.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, Nov. 1. THERE is no confirmation to-day of the report that Don Carlos had entered Estella on the contrary, se- veral of the Paris Journals deny it. A letter from Bayonne, of the '2oth, states, that a part of the Carlist forces had entered Estella, but it was not known under whose command they were. One letter states that the Navarrese had compelled their cliiels to lead them back to their country, leaving Don Carlos on the right bank of the Ebro, with, the old Castilian battalions and those lately formed of Christino deserters and prisoners, who had entered into his service, Some private letters state that Zariategui crossed the Ehro on the 20th ultimo, and that Don Carlos was on the same day pre- paring to cross it. Two detachments of his troops. returned from Castille, consisting both of cavalry on foot, are stated to have shaken off the authority of their chiefs and a battalion sent to reduce them to obedience had returned unsuccessful. The Paris papers supply no news of France itself, the people being much occu- pied wiih the elections, ana the Press with Constantine. It is generally settled, according to report, that pos- session of the city is to be retained. It will not add to the power or wealth of France. THE CHOLERA. —We regret to state, that the cholera has broken out in the eastern part of the metropolis and three fatal cases have occurred. The Medical Officers re- commend a Hospital for patients, as the best means ol counteracting the spread of the disease, and the Guardians of Stepney Union have addressed a letter to Lord John Russell, the Home Secretary, acquainting him with the fact, and requesting his Lorhship's advice with respect to what steps may be necessary to be taken, both as regards the cases of cholera patients, and the enforcing cleanliness in the filthy houses and streets in that district. A Morning paper of this day says-" Having caused particular inquiries to be made in the neighbourhood of Limehouse this morning, we are happy to be able to allay the apprehensions which have been excited in the public mind by the statements re- specting the existence of the cholera in that district. We are informed that there has not been any new case, and, indeed, some doubt exists whether the three deaths which occurred arose from that disease. The persons who died were two men and a child, and the wives of the men have been sent to Limehouse workhouse. The place where the supposed malady broke out, Well-alley, is a very miserable, dirty spot, where ten or twelve persons live in the same room, and is, therefore, a locality very likely to engender disease. The Overseers and Coroner have been to the spot this morning. The Overseers have taken every precaution to prevent the spread of the cholera if so it be; but they assured onr reporter that no case had arisen in addition to those noticed; and that there does not appear to be the slightest ground for alarm. With respect to the report of the cholera having broken out on board the Dreadnought, there must be some mistake in the statement made yester- day at the Thames Police-office, for on application at the office of the Seamen's Hospital Society yesterday, the same account was given to us as that which was published on Monday; viz., that there had been several cases of un- doubted cholera on board that ship. There has however, been no new case for nine days; and it is, therefore, to be hoped that the disease has succumbed to the preventives taken by the medical officers." CONSERVATIVE FESTIVALS.—One of these meetings was held at the Spring Gardens, Public House, in the Hotwell road, on Saturday last, and the consequence was, as might be expected, that on Monday divers charges of drunkenness, rioting and fighting came before the Magis- trates. Robert White, a decent lookug man, was brought .)p for assanlting Richard Lewis, and policeman Parker. Lewis did not appear, but the policeman said, that hearing a row he interfered, and White then knocked him down and kicked him White was very drunk and was obliged to be taken home on the stretcher. White in his defence said he had been to the Blue Supper at the Spring Gardens, and not being accustomed to it, the drink and the tobacco com- pletely overcame him in fact he was so drunk, he recol- lected nothing, at all of what took place, not even being put on the stretcher. He was informed, however, by a witness that he did not knock the policeman down, and he wished the magistrates to give him till the next day to bring for- ward the person, which was granted.—Bristol Gazette. MENTAL EXCITEMENT.—Solong as excessive mental excitement is kept up, but little relief can be obtained by the st, ictest attention to dietetics. Abstinence from mental toil, cheerful company, a country excursion, and relaxation of mind, will soon accomplish a cure, where all the dietetic precepts and medicines in the world woult), prove ineffica- cious. Another form which disease occasioned by intense study and excitement sometimes assumes is violent fear. The whole nervous system is affected and by too power- fully stimulating the heart and the entire circulation, in- duces inflammatory action. Of this there is a striking in- stance in Dr. PariVs Life of Sir Humphrey Davy," who, in the year 1807, was reduced to the brink of the grave by the long-continued exertion and excitement attendant upon his discovery of the alkaline metals. When such excite- ment is permanent, if often produces organic disease of the hea £ t.—Curtis on Health.
