The report that the Ex-King of the French had amassed and placed in security a large private fortune has been contradicted, with an air of author- ity, by the Times. The Ex-King and his children, it is said, had vested their whole property in French land; and if the French Legislature con- fiscate this land, the Orleans family will be reduced to destitution.

We understand, on good authority, that the Duc de Montpensier was sent for at the Privy Council, held on Wednesday, and informed that he must leave the country.—United Service Gazette, Saturday.

The Count [de Neuilly] takes occasional airings in a private carriage in the vicinity of his retreat, and is everywhere received with marked respect by the in- habitants of the neighbourhood. This observation also applies to the younger branches of the exiled family, the Dac de Nemours and the Dec de Montpensier; both of whom frequently walk in the vicinity of Claremont. —Court News, in the Daily Papers of Monday. The Court newsman furnishes the following—" We understand that their Royal Highnesses the Dake and Dutchess of Montpensier left England, on Thum day last, for Ostend, on their route to Germany."—fforning Post, Tuesday. The sudden departure of the Duke and Dutchess of Montpeosier for Ger- many, on Thursday last, has naturally enough caused considerable surprise; more particularly as it took place before the expected arrival of the Duke of Ahumada, who bad been commissioned by the Queen of Spain to invite her sister to Madrid. It is now, however, stated that their departure was caused by the discovery of a correspondence in the Tuileries, which, being communicated to the British Go- vernment, rendered the residence of those august personages in this country as disagreeable to the Court of St. James's as it would have been unpleasant to themselves. It is added, that they left in conformity with an intimation from the Foreign Office.—Daily News, Thursday. We are happy to be enabled to contradict a paragraph which found its way into our columns from those of a morning contemporary. [The one above.] We are

wily glad to find that it was erroneous in every particular; the departure of the puke and Dutchess having, as we now learn, been entirely spontaneous; having taken place ofter, and not before, the arrival of the Duke de Ahumada in Lon- don; and not having been in consequence of any discovery made at the Tuileries, or of any intimation, from any quarter, that their presence in this country would be disagreeable to the Court of St. James's.—Globe, Friday. [It is freely reported in town that the young Duke and Dutchess have departed for Spain, and at the suggestion of the Count de Neuilly. If so, the Count had better be made aware of Sir Robert Peel's observations re- venting intrigues against Foreign Governments carried on in this country.]

The Ex-Minister of Louis Philippe of Orleans and his family have, as Pro testants, joined the congregation of the French Protestant Presbyterian Church in St. Martin's-le-Grand. On Sunday last, Madame Guizot, the venerable mother of the Ex-Minister, and her two grand-daughters, attended the morning service; and were, naturally, objects of interest and curiosity to a very crowded congrega- tion. On Sunday next, the annual commemoration of the opening of the new church will take place, and there is some probability of the presence of M. Guizot himself.—Times.

The Count de Jarnac has been relieved from his ambassadorial duties here, by the arrival of M. Cotta on Friday last. M. Cottu is not accredited as "Minister," but has been authorized to receive the archives and seals of the Embassy. Count de Jarnac is residing now with his brother-in-law, Lord Foley, in Grosvenor Square. Lord Ashley announces that the Queen and Prince Albert have subscribed 2001 on behalf of the English workmen driven from France. A committee is in process of being organized; and Messrs. Hurries and Farquhar are the bankers.

Russia has stopped the receipt of French intelligence at Warsaw; and the official Gazette of St. Petersburg announced its own cessation on the 7th instant; a proceeding which has given rise to much conjecture.

Lord Brougham's illness has been a very severe quinsey. His Lordship is convalescent; and hopes to leave Cannes for England on the 28th instant, vie Paris.

We are happy to learn that Dr. Tait, Head-Master of Rugby School, is much better, and that he is now in a fair way of recovery Times. Viscount Hardinge, accompanied by Colonel Lawrenson, Lieutenant-Colonel Wood, and his Lordship's two sons, arrived from Ostend on Wednesday morning, and came to town by the Blackwell Railway. A conge d'elire and letters-missive have been issued to the Dean and Chapter of Chester, empowering them to elect a Bishop, and nominating John Graham, D.D., as the successor of Bishop now Archbishop Sumner.

The Morning Post notes a fact which should not slip unobserved though it is a matter of course—that at the confirmation, last week, of Dr. Sumner as Arch- bishop of Canterbury, the insubstantial forms which provoked such awkward scenes at the two previous confirmations remained unaltered. " The Archbishop of York, the chief officiating Commissary, after the Vicar-General had prayed that the opposers might be called, said, ' Let the opposers be publicly called.' The Apparitor-Geueral, thereupon, standing in the middle of the church with his mace, (the emblem of authority of the Court of which he was the officer,) after the triple enunciation of the Oyez,' to draw the attention of the public in the church, summoned all manner of persons who would object to the confirmation of the election of the Archbishop to come forup.rd and make their objections in due form of law, and they should be heard.' No opponent appeared; and the Vicar-General 'accused the contumacy of all and singular persons cited and pub- licly called and not appearing; and prayed that they might be precluded the means offurther opposing.' Thereupon they were declared by the Archbishop of York to be conteemaciows. A certificate of the election was produced. The Vi- car-General then prayed that all opposers might be again publicly called; upon which, being ordered by the Archbishop of York, a second preconization of oppo- sers took place; and non-appearing, they were a second time declared contuma- cious."

There is deposited in the Portsmouth Dockyard a working model of a "peril indicator," to denote the approach of ground to ships and steamers; the invention of Lieutenant Westbrook, R.N. of the Stag revenue cruiser, on the Ryde district, Theapparatus is positively too simple to describe: it is fitted to the keel of the vessel, and consists of a projection therefrom of two bars, ten feet below the keel of the vessel: immediately these bars, which are fitted forward as well as aft, touch the ground, they siring up level with the keel and ring a large hell in the engine-room, which is the signal for the engineer to instantly reverse the engines and send the ship astern. The invention has met with the,approval of some of the members of the Admiralty, and every scientific, naval, or other person who has seen it—Porismouth Telegraph.
