In the pressure of matter upon our limits last week, we were obliged to omit the gossipy details of Louis Philippe's adventures at Newhaven, and his journey from the Sussex coast to Claremont.

One Mr. 'Thomas Stone signalized himself by recognizing the Ex-King afar off in the boat which brought him ashore, and pledging to him the protection of the British nation. The reported colloquy on landing is serio-comic. Stone—" Welcome to England, your Majesty." Louis Philippe—" I thank you, I thank you; I have always felt pleasure in coming to England. Thank God, I am in England once more!" Stone—" We will protect your Majesty." Ex-King (much agitated) —" I thank you, I thank you." The Ex-King was scantily attired. He wore a rough pea-jacket—borrowed of the captain of the Express—and grey trousers; had on his head a close blue cloth cap, and round his neck a common red-and-white "comforter." His beard was apparently of about a week's growth. The Queen was muffled in a large plaid cloak, and carefully concealed her features with a thick veil.

The Ex-King and Queen took up quarters in the Bridge Inn, kept by one Widow Smith. The Ex King's first act was to pen an autograph letter to Queen • , Victoria, and give it to trusty hands foi-soonest possible delivery. This done, -14r. West Wes privileged to proffer successfully his dressing-case for the use of the Ex-King. A lady also was desirous to place a chest of clothes at the dis- posal of the Ex-Queen; but the offer was respectfully declined. The village bar- ber was summoned to the Ex-King, to remove the week-old beard; an operation which he was at first unequal to, from nervousness, but ultimately performed with commendable skill. In a short time the Er-King was perfectly at home under good hostess Smith's assiduities; and declined the offered hospitalities of the gentry, who soon arrived in numbers. The Er-Queen busied herself in letter- writing, and seemed less open to impressions of the present. Mr. Peckham was master of the ceremonies, and introduced the visiters; among others, deputations who had come pilgrimages of compliment from Brighton and from Lewes. Three gentlemen were introduced; one being the Reverend Theyre Smith, Rector of New- haven. "Mr. Smith!" exclaimed the King, "that is curious indeed! and very remarkable that the first to welcome me should be a Mr. Smith, since the as- sumed name was ' Smith ' by which I escaped from France; and, look, this is my passport made out in the name of 'William Smith'!"

The Ex-King and Queen seemed gratified with the cordial sympathy evidenced. On Saturday, the early breakfast was prolonged by calls from more visiters: Mr. Lawrence and Lady Jane Peel had a long and animated interview. On this day, too, M. Duchatel, the late Home Minister, bad an interview with his fallen master.

At nine o'clock the Ex-King and Queen proceeded on their journey, and by the help of a special train, were soon at Croydon. Here they were met by their chil- dren, the Duke of Nemours and the Dutchess Auguste of Saxe-Coburg, with the Duke of Saxe-Oohing. The recognition has been described by a witness. "At the moment the train was brought to a stand-still, the Duke de Nemoun rushed towards the window of the carriage in which his exiled parents were seated, and, grasping his father's band, he covered it with kisses. The Queen, who was sit- ting on the right of her royal husband, and was consequently further from the platform, on observing the Duke, gave utterance to a scream, apparently from excessive joy, and then fell back in her seat. The door of the carriage having been opened, the Ex-King alighted, and immediately embraced his son with great apparent fervency, kissing him again and again, while the tearaoured down his furrowed cheeks. The next moment the Ex 'Monarch clasped in his arms the Princess Clementine, who was standing close to her brother. The Princess, who up to this moment had maintained an admirable self-possession, now gave vent to her stifled feelings, and sobbed convulsively. The Ex-King kissed her unceasingly for some moments, and then, turning to her august hns- band, embraced and greeted him affectionately. The Queen recovering herself in a few moments, stepped out of the carriage after the King, and successively em- braced, with intense feeling, her royal children. The whole party were for some time much agitated, and apparently altogether unconscious of the presence of strangers. The first burst of emotion over, the royal fugitives were conducted into the waiting-room; where they remained for some time in seclusion." Claremont was reached by three o'clock. At five, Prince Albert arrived by a special train, to pay his respects. On Sunday, the Duke and Dutchess of Montpensier arrived from East Sheen. where under some mistake they had been awaiting their parents.

The Ex-King and Queen have assumed the title of the Count and Countess of Nenilly since their arrival at Claremont.

The doubt that we expressed, last week, as to the manner in which the French Revolution was brought about at the critical turning-point of time, Times newspaper: it appeared soon after M. Guizot 'a arrival in this coun- try and has the air of proceeding on authentic information. From this per we learn that the actual and immediate cause of the Revolution was occident.

Though the actual danger of putting down the Reform banquet rose far higher in the course of the attempt than was anticipated, success would have been insured by vigorous action. Marshal Bugeaud had been named to the command of the forces in Paris, and M. Guizot stated to the King his con- fidence of being able to quell the resistance. The King, however, dis- missed M. Guizot, and called M. Mold; and the evening of Wednesday passed in attempts to form a half-Liberal Cabinet. This failing, H. Thiers ssis called in, and he proclaimed to the people that no further resistance would be made. Marshal Bugeaud protested against this extraordinary step, and resigned: the officers in disgust sheathed their swords, and the soldiers allowed themselves to be disarmed. M. Thiers then proceeded in his pacific arrangements: the world has seen how they failed. Finally, the King abdicated in a panic.

Dom Miguel having been invited on Thursday last to be present at Her Ma- 'esty's Theatre, in one of the best boxes in the house, immediately declined it, in these words—" No; not at present. Although Louis Philippe has done me all the harm he could, he is now fallen; and, besides, he was the near relation of my mother. I could not enjoy the opera while thinking of the personal danger to which be might at the very moment be exposed." In conformity with this honourable feeling, the Prince was not at the theatre.—Morning Post.

In 1830, no sooner had the Day of Algiers arrived in France as a prisoner of Charles the Tenth than the King was dethroned and exiled; and in 1848, no sooner had the Emir Abd-el-Kader reached the shores of France as the prisoner of Louis Philippe, than the King of the Barricades was dethroned and exiled! The Dey, at the fall of Charles exclaimed, "God is just: he has avenged me! " and who would prevent the Marabout, Abd-el-Kader, from making the same as Eertion of Providential retribution I—Globe.

The decision of the Supreme Court of Bombay in a- famous case of the opium time-bargains has lately been reversed by the Court of Judicature of the Privy Coned!. Chief Justice Sir David Pollock had decided that such bargains were illegal. Sir Eiskine Perry, the Puisne Judge, held the Contrary opinion. The Court of Appeal have decided that the act 8 and 9 Victoria, c. 109, does not ex- tend to India; and that the case must be ruled by the common law on "wagers." It is to be deemed a wager as to the highest price opium would bring at the Cal- cutta sales or the Company. The sales were ran up by a "wagering" party to an unheard-cf price, in order to secure the stake—a crore of rupees, or 1,000,000/. sterling. The loss fells on Parsee merchants of Bombay, and will se- riously affect the channels of China commerce for a lung time.
