subsists between Kin ? • :. Philippe d Queen yic . 



ona as the represe^ . the t w0 greatest nationg of 



the globe, cannot H , e the source of real satisfaction 



to all classes in t .ntry ; and the enthusiastic wel- 



come which His majesty has received from the people 

 at large is the oest assurance which can be given to his 

 subjects that the whole English nation shares in the 

 sent,ments of its Sovereign. -The revenue returns 

 g for the year and quarter, which ended on Thursday, 

 g show a very gratifying increase in the main sources of 

 our national prosperity. The total increase on the year 

 amounts to 1.39 i49/., and on the quarter to no len- 

 than 520,944/. The Customs, notwithstanding thc 

 reductions made by the new tariff, show an increase on 

 the year f 1,723,105/., and n the quarter of 4 73,347/. 

 rue Property-tax shows an increase of 100,413/. on the 

 year and a decrease of 80,10.',/. on the quarter, occa- 

 sioned by the repayment of overcharges; so that it mar 

 now be said to have found its level. The Excise exhibits 

 a small decrease on thc quarter, which is attributed to 

 the growing habits of temperance in the lower orders, 

 and not to any diminution of their means. The Taxes 

 show a decrease for the year, nnd an increase on the 

 quarter; virile the Stamps and Post-office, like the Cus- 

 toms, present an increase for both periods. The increase 

 in the rost-office, which in July bad reached 31,000/. for 



! VoZnf nd 10 ' 000/ - f0F tUe <l Uarter ' h " ™* df-orf 



to 82,000/. on the year, and 40,000/. on thc quarter— a 

 rate of increase which far surpasses thc expectations of 

 the public, and is the best omen of ultimate success. 



In France, the King's visit to our Queen is the sole 

 top.c f the day, and the Opposition papers eagerly avail 

 themselves of the circumstance to renew their attacks 

 upon this country. Even the courtesies prepared for His 

 Majesty and the officers of his fleet are regarded as so 

 many insults to France, and the part which the Duke of 

 W ellington has taken In the reception of the King is pro- 

 claimed as the crowning indignity offered by the British 

 nation to the Revolution of July. The Ministerial 

 papers, however, accept the spontaneous manifestations 

 of English feeling as testimonies of cordiality and good- 

 will, and are not unmindful that the Duke of Wellington 

 was the first who recognised the revolution which placed 

 Louis-Philippe on his throne. Previous to His Majesty's 

 departure from France, the Due de Nemours was invested 

 with all the powers of royalty during Hie Majesty's 

 absence, with the title of Lieutenant-General of the 

 Kingdom ; and a royal ordinance was issued, by which 

 the King granted an amnesty to nearly 60 political 

 prisoner.--. From Tahiti we have accounts of another 

 misunderstanding between the French commander and a 

 British Officer, who was arrested by the French in the 

 execution of his duty, and detained a prisoner for some 

 hours by superior force. It appears, however, that -the 

 port was in a state of blockade, and that the French 

 admiral lost no time in sending an apology for the inter- 

 ruption.— From Spain we have no accounts of any 

 interest; and from Portugal we learn that the Cortes 

 met on the 30th ult., when questions of confidence in the 

 Ministry were incidentally raised in both Chambers, and 

 carried by large majorities in their favour. 



Vl*IT of the King of the French — His Majesty 

 Louis-Philippe arrived at Portsmouth atOo'dockon Tues- 

 day morning. The squadron was signalled at St. Helen's 

 shortly after 7 o'clock, and the guns of the Queen, 110, 

 lying at Spithead, soon announced the approach of the 

 royal squadron. Near the Queen at Spithead was 

 anchored the St. Vincent, 120, and in a long line, 

 stretching away towards the Nab, were the eight experi- 

 ment il gun brigs— their array being broken by anchored 

 merchantmen, yachts, and small sailing craft, stretching 

 backwards and forwards across Spithead. The firing of 

 the Queen brought out the three regiments of the Line 

 and the division of Royal Marines from their quarters, 

 w ; th their bands playing and colours flying, whilst the 

 whole population thronged the beach. This general 

 movement, combined with the display of flags streaming 

 in every direction in the town, and covering the yachts 

 and ships of war in the port, presented a scene of anima- 



IMPORTANT to the FASHIONABLE WORLD.— 



A By far the most influential of all the graces that contribute 

 to personal adornment is the Hair. Its recoverv, preservation 

 and improvement proportionally concern thc elegantes of our 

 fashionable circles, and any information which will insure these 

 desirable results will be hailed as an inestimable boon. The 

 following extract from the letter of a respectable chemist in 

 Bridlington will be read with the highest interest : — 



" A lady, a customer of mine, has found great benefit from 

 the use of your Balm. About six months ago her hair nearly 

 all fell off. I recommended her to try your Balm of Columbia, 

 which she did. In the course of a few applications the hair 

 ceased to fall off. Before she had used one 3s. 6rf. bottle it began 

 to grow very profusely, and she has now a very beautiful head 

 of hair. " I am, gentlemen, yours respectfullv, 



" Wm, SMITH, 



" Chemist and Druggist, Market-place, Bridlington. 

 " To Messrs. C. and A. Oldridge.— March 13, 1844."

Hair to curl beautifully frees it from scurf, and stops it from I tion beyond all power of description. EverV moment

Wctos of tftr mtcit. 



The arrival of the King of the French in this country, 

 on a visit to our Queen, whether we consider his remark- 

 able career as a man and a statesman, or regard him as 

 the head of a great and gallant people, is a political 

 event of no ordinary importance. It confirms that 

 policy of peace by which, amidst unparalleled difficulties, 

 his clear sagacity has preserved the tranquillity of 

 Europe for fourteen years ; and is, at the some time, a

came on slowly and majestically, each ship of war sa- 

 luting as it advanced, and each battery in turn taking up 

 the salutes. The climax, however, was wlun the steam- 

 ers entered the harbour. The royal steam-yacht Gomer, 

 commanded by Admiral La Susse, passed the King's 

 bastion about 9 o'clock, under a salute from that battery, 

 and on coming to her moorings, opposite the Dockyard, 

 she was received with royal honours, the yards of the 

 Victory being manned, and a salute fired at the same 

 moment. The French ensign was also hoisted at the 

 fore of the Victory. His Excellency Count de St. Aulaire, 

 with Count de Noailles, Count de Jarnac, Baron Talley- 

 rand, and the other officers of the Embassy, on the Gomer 

 coming to her moorings, proceeded in the Admiral's barge 

 on board the yacht, for the purpose of paying their re-
