Itlistellantous.

Throughout the week, every day has produced a variety of rumours as to the fate of some of the Royal Family of France; whom report consigned to all quarters. Most of these rumours have been superseded by the ar- rival of the fugitives on our own shores. Nothing is yet known respecting the retreat of the Dutchess of Orleans and her two young sons; but their personal safety has ceased to be matter of very intense anxiety. There has been a great movement of English steamers in the Channel, partly to facilitate the flight of the Royal fugitives, partly to take off the English sojourners who flocked to the French coast. We chronicle the arrivals in the order of their occurrence. The Duke of Nemours, with the Duke and Dutchess Auguste of Saxe-Coburg, who had met on the French coast, entered London on Sunday evening. The Dutchess of Montpensier, after narrowly escaping the pursuit of a mob at Abbeville, was brought over from Boulogne on Monday, by her husband's Aide- de-camp, General Thierry. The Dutchess de Nemours with her three children, accompanied by the Duke de Montpensier, made for Granville: by a fee of 4001., they induced the com- mander of the Princess Alexandrine to convey them to Jersey; where they re- mained incognito, until they came to Portsmouth, on Thursday.

The anxiety about Louis Philippe and the Ex-Queen was kept alive till yester- day; when the news of their arrival in England was received and promulgated by the Admiralty. Prince Leopold, Count of Syracuse, nephew of the Ex-Queen of France, has come to London, having escaped Paris disguised as a labourer.

Yesterday it was learned that M. Guizot had reached Dover. His two daugh- ters and their governess reached London on Tuesday. M. Duchatel has also got over to Brighton.

All the refugees who came on Sunday repaired to the French Embassy. There, on Monday, they were visited by the Datchess of Kent and Prince Albert; who conveyed Queen Victoria's invitation to the Duke and Dutchess Auguste of Saxe-Coburg, the Duke being cousin to Prince Albert and her Majesty, to take their residence for the present in Buckingham Palace. This invitation was ac- cepted, and acted on. The youngest daughter of the Duke of Nemours also accompanied the children of the Duke Auguste of Saxe-Coburg, and remains with them at the Palace.

The Dutchess of Montpensier and the Duke of Nemours were staying at the Embassy on Tuesday, when despatches were received by the Count de Jarnac from the Foreign Minister of the Provisional Government in Paris, announcing the retirement of the Orleans dynasty. The Duke of Nemours immediately re- solved to take a private residence; and he is now, with the Datchess of Mont, pensier, occupying apartments at the Belgian Legation in Portland Place. The visits of the Itoglish aristocracy at the French Embassy, the Palace, and the present residence of the Duke of Nemours and Dutchess of Montpensier, have been very numerous-thousands: among the distinguished callers have been Lord John Russell, Sir Robert Peel, Viscount Palmerston, and the Duke of Wellington.

The Count de Jarnac has received from M. de Lamartine, a very com- plimentary communication, offering to accredit the Count to the British Government. M. de Jarnac has courteously declined the offer.

A return ordered by the House of Commons in July last, on the motion of Mr. Moffat, [No. 747a and issued this week, exhibits some curious Income-tax statistics; although their details are limited to Schedules D and K. These we extrtict, as matter of speculation for our readers.

_ For example, can the total incomes of 2001. a year and less fall below the incomes of men of from 1,0001. to 2,0001. a year? Is the common rule in statistics, that the aggregate of smaller things is beyond all pro- portion greater than the aggregate of larger, inapplicable to incomes of this class? or is not the tax extensively evaded? Try again-The incomes between 4001. and 5001. are said to be half the amount of those below 200/.; which seems clearly impossible. The reader who is gossipy, not scientific, may try and discover the sixteen lucky dogs whose income from " profit and industry " is " 50,0001. and upwards."

The Cambridge Advertiser reports that the Reverend George Waddington, Da, will be the new Bishop of Chester. Mr. Hatton Hamer Stansfeld, an official Assigneeof the Court of Baukruptcy for the Leeds District, has been appointed to the London District, vacant by the death of Mr. A. B. Belcher.

It is denied, both in London and Irish papers, that Mr. R. Dillon Browne, M.P. for the County Mayo, has been appointed freasurer of Ceylon.

The Horning Chronicle has reason to believe that Sir Charles Napier's force [at Lisbon] is ordered to Cork to refit and reprovision, prior to cruising in the Channel. The-force at present under the orders of Sir Charles includes his flag- ship the St. Vincent (120 guns), the Howe (120), Queen (110), Canopus (84.), screw-propelled frigate Amphion (36), steam-frigate Dragon (8), and the bomb- steamer Scourge, besides despatch-boats.

Orders have been given toe division of tbsPrussian army to advance towards the

frontiers. This fact, says the DeutscheA ilgemeine Zeitung, confirms the meows of an arrangement entered into by the Three Great Powers of the North to tithe energetic measures for the suppression of a revolution in Lombardy. From Vienna, under date of the 23d February, a report comes that owing to the monetary and political crisis now pending in Austria, the Imperial Family have, from their private property, placed the sum of 100,000,000 florins at the disposal of the Minister of Finance. The house of Este alone advanced 30,000,000 of this sum. A heavy decline is visible in the German funds. The Times has reason to believe that a treaty of peace has been concluded be- tween Mr. Trist, the United States Envoy, and the Mexican Commissioners. "The proposed frontier line would start from the month of the Rio Grande, in the Gulf of Mexico, and pass along the Bravo del Norte by Passo del Norte, to about the 32d degree of North latitude. A line would then be drawn to the sources of the Rio Gila, which flows from East to West in that parallel of latitude, and die_ charges itself into the Gulf of California. All the country to the East and North of this line is to be ceded by Mexico; and the frontier will then be extended mid- way down the Gulf of California, so as to transfer the whole peninsula of Old California, as well as the more fertile region of New California, to the United States. With these terms, it is amusing to add, that Mr. Polk is dissatisfied?

There is good reason to believe that the system of embarking emigrants in the Thames will shortly be abandoned; and that the now very extensive system of emigration which Government is conducting to all the Australian Colonies,The Cape of Good Hope, &c. will be managed on the principle of putting the emi- grants on board at Southampton, to the extent of several thousands annually.- Hants Independent.

The recent stormy weather has done considerable damage to the Plymouth Breakwater: a number of cranes were washed down, and the force of the sea was so great that a large extent of the stone-work on the outside was torn away and thrown landward.

It has been determined to transport for life Michael M'Cabe, the man convicted with Reid of the Mirfield murders. Though a mystery hangs over the affair, the authorities consider the man to have been in some way implicated in the crime.
