There has been a little revolution in the little canton

of Neufcha- tel. This canton, formerly a principality, was first annexed to Prussia in 1707 ; in 1806 it was given to France ; in 1814 it was restored to Switzerland, of which it was constituted a canton, under the lordship—suzerainte—of Prussia,Which draws from it a reve- riue of some ten thousand a year. It has been singularly peaceful ever since its last settlement ; and even when nearly all the cantons of Switzerland were lately disturbed, Neufchatel remained at rest. On a sudden, however, and without any apparent cause, the people of the canton have risen against the local authorities, and a radical reform of the whole system has been the consequence. The King of Prussia will, it appears; be not a little puzzled to get at these rebels against his authority. They are protected by France on one side, and by Switzerland, which France will not allow to be Violated; on the•other. • • THE Cocar.—On Monday, the Queen, accompanied by her, sister. in-law and niece, the 'Dutchess of Saxe Weimar and the Princess Louise, left St. James's for Brighton. The reception of her Majesty seems to have been more pressing than either good manners or good sense could justify. On Tuesday, the well-dressed mob thronged round the Queen and the Princess Louise, when proceeding to William's baths, in such numbers, and with such importunity of curiosity, as actually to drive the Royal visitants from the place ! The half-bred English are the worst- bred of all human beings : no country but our own, we believe, could supply a specimen of rudeness so intrusive and intolerable, as pressing and crushing upon an exalted female, or any female, under such circum- stances. The Brighton papers speak warmly on the subject, and well they may. The Queen returned to London on Wednesday.

The King gave a grand dinner, on Monday, to the members of the " Toy Club,"—so called from the inn at Hampton, where the club meets, and which has for many years been under his Majesty's special patronage.

Yesterday, the Queen accompanied her sister-in-law to Deptford ;. where her Serene Highness embarked on board the Lightning steamer, for Rotterdam, for the purpose of joining her husband. The young Princess remains in England, under the fostering care of her illustrious relative.

TUE Tnummiza.—The launch of this fine vessel took place at Wool- wich, on Thursday, in presence of the King and Queen, a large number of nobility and gentry, and a countless host, on land and on water, of humbler spectators. The Thunderer is an 84-gun ship, as her old name- sake was ; she is built according to the plan of Sir Robert Seppings, with a round stern, and her ribs connected by cross-ties : her breadth of beam is 50 feet; length of keel, 120 ; depth of hold, 22 feet ; tonnage, by register, 2,380 tons. Their Majesties left the Palace about twelve o'clock, at which hour, not only was the Dock-yard at Woolwich crowded with well-dressed visitors, to behold the launch, but the greater part of the long road from town as far as the spot where the exhibition was to take place, was lined with gazers, anxious to catch a glimpse of the spectacle's better part—the Sailor King and his Royal Consort. The Thames, at one o'clock, when their Majesties arrived, was crowded with vessels of all sizes and names; among which the most conspicuous were three or four steam-vessels, which had each conveyed from town its five hundred well-dressed men and women to grace and witness the show. On shore, the glittering costume of the military attendants of the King, and the graver uniform of the naval officers, mingled very pleasingly with the light and flowing garments and gay head-dresses of the high-born dames who followed in the suite of their noble mistress. Immediately on his arrival, the King proceeded to visit the vessel about to be launched, which he narrowly inspected ; after which, he retired to the stand that had been erected for the Royal party alongside the dry-dock where the vessel lay. The bottle of wine, with which, agreeably to old custom, the stern of the launch was to be sprinkled, was then placed in the Queen's hand ; the hammers of the carpenters were raised; the word—" All ready."—passed ; "THE THCEDV.REE !" exclaimed the Queen ; the bottle fell,, and with the bottle the props which restrained the vessel; and, as if instinct with life, the Thun- derer shot forth with the speed and the irresistibility , of lightning into the free waters which longed.to clip her ample breast. The siroultane-- ous shout that rose from the boats, and from the shore, -would have; ,stuntied an eagle iiiehis aneagle been there. It had been intended that one of the GovernMeat steam-vessels should tow the launch into the basin ; but hardly had she paused in the river, when she was caught by the tide, and floated majestically to the port that stood open to receive her ; and was thence towed, without diffi- culty, to her appointed station. The King and Queen, after the launch, proceeded to inspect the mo- del frigate, built of Spanish mahogany—a toy which served to amuse the leisure of George the Fourth—which neer forms one of the lions of Woolwich. This done, they went on board.' ths Royal Sovereign; where that most indispenSable accompaniment of all shows, solemn or mirthful, —a cold collation7-was spread for their refection. At four o'clock, their Majesties left Woolwich for town, amidst the cheers and blessings of their loving subjects. The Royal party travelled on the occasion in nine carriages, and were escorted by two troops of Lancers.
