By the Viscount Felix de Conny. AMONG SO many different impressions, there is one which will never be effaced from my thoughts. I had just quitted France, and giving way to the recollections of the misfortunes of my country, I crossed the streets of the beautiful town of Edinburgh, and directed, in pensive mood, my steps towards the residence of the royal family. I stood before the palace of Holyrood, when I perceived a great crowd, and hastening my steps, I heard in the midst a French voice, I recognized the physician of the king, a man whose devotion to his sovereign will be remembered in history. I learned that several times a week he distributed alms, in the name of the king, to a crowd of poor persons. Charles X. has lost his crown; but there is something inherent in the royal character of the Bourbons which can never be effaced-the inclination to do good, which is natural to their family. Charles X., though in exile, is still king; he is a king in relieving the unfortunate. I ascended the stairs of the palace of the Stuarts, and arrived in the apartment of the Should we find any necessity for this our-ness?) of some men and women.

"You see me an exile;" said the king, “I have long since learut to suffer misfortune, and am only sad at the miseries of France. Providence bestows nights of tranquillity to princes who have endeavoured to make their people happy." These words of Charles X. have remained deeply engraven on my memory, and I relate them such as they were uttered in the palace of Holyrood.

The for the very valuable additions to enginery former is described as "a contrivance for he has had the talent to invent, and the skill to carry into effect. This latter, and we are inclined to believe by far the most important of his improvements, consists in giving circulation to the contents of the boiler by means of metalic plates, so formed and placed as to cause that portion of the water which, by coming into contact with the hottest parts of the boiler, has absorbed the greatest portion of caloric, and been partially converted into steam, to be displaced by the colder portion of the fluid, in consequence of the superior specific gravity of the latter; so that, while the aeriform fluid is, as it were, constantly struggling to escape from the action of the fire, the more dense, or colder particles, are making as continued an effort to approach that wonder-working element. And we here take leave to congratulate Mr. Perkins on his recent success at Liverpool and Manchester; and to add, that the master mind which can thus so happily apply the laws of natural philosophy to the purposes of mechanics, need not scruple to sacrifice an invention for simple propulsion, to a younger or more fortunate competitor: his circulating plates are applicable to the increased and better production of steam for every description of engines-a paddle wheel is but one application, out of many, of that mighty combination of elements which seems to require a more comprehensive name than that of steam. Not only do these circulating plates occasion a more rapid and economical formation of steam than can be attained without their aid, but they also, from the same cause, prevent the destruction of the tubes or plates of which the boiler may be constructed, by causing the fluid to absorb the caloric without giving the fire time to fuse the metal: this has been successfully proved with a boiler of one of the steam-carriages on the Liverpool and Manchester railway, and cannot fail of insuring to the inventor that which should always accompany honourable industry and persevering skill-pecuniary recompence as well as fame. Our first notice, under this head, will be of an exhibition which combines the pleasing and the useful in an eminent degree; and whose contents we shall describe somewhat at length, that those of our friends who re-causing the paddle-boards, or fans, to enter side in town, or may be "christmassing" and leave the water edgewise, and only to among us, may be prompted to partake still apply their surfaces fully or flatly against the more largely of its amusement and instruction fluid when they have arrived at their greatest by visiting it, and those who are located in depth, so as to act with the most powerful the country, by content or circumstance, may hold on the water in propelling the vessel :" not be shut out, descriptively, from its that they do this we readily admit, but the safety paddle of Mr. Stevens does more than this, for, by its peculiar motion, it is caused to act "fully or flatly against the fluid," In their introductory address, appended with propulsive effect, from the time of its to the catalogue, the proprietors of the gal-entering the water to its being drawn out; lery say, that" it is established for the practical illustration of general science, and for the reception of specimens of the rare productions of nature;" and to a considerable extent these objects have been already achieved.

THE learned as well as the unlettered-the man of scientific knowledge and the artisan, who is as labour to his thought-he, the pos. sessor of classical attainments, and the hum ble, though not less industrious distributor of his literary offspring-the talented and the tasked—the wealthy and the needy-the honoured and the unknown-each and all are accessible to the charms of sociality, and the comforts of good cheer. None seem forgetful of the season, despite of the libels of those misanthropical croakers, who say that mirth was only of the olden day, that she lived but to enliven the fireside of our doughty ancestors, and died an old maid long ere the forthcoming of our generation; forgetting, dull dotards that they are, that the sprightly nymph was annually embraced by hearty old Father Christmas," and lives, renewed as it were, again and again, in a countless progeny of smiles and laughter, and glee. And thus are we without anything of interest to communicate from the Learned Societies. The meetings of some of these have been discontinued, as is customary, during the season of festivity: and at those of others nothing has lately occurred beyond the usual routine.

It was in consequence of her appeal to the justice and humanity of Charles, that Chelsea hospital was given as an asylum for wounded and superannuated soldiers. There is at present, we believe, a neighbouring public-house with her head as a sign. After the death of Charles, she lived a most exemplary life. The last words of the royal voluptuary to his brother were "Don't let poor Nelly starve." According to Pennant, "she died at her house in Pall Mall. The back room, on the ground floor, was (within memory) entirely of looking glass, as was said to be the ceiling." She was buried in the church of St. Martin's in the Fields: her funeral sermon was preached by Dr. Tennyson, the vicar, (subsequently archbishop of Canterbury.) "This," said Queen Mary, "is a sign that she died penitent; for, had she not a pious and Christian end, the Doctor would never have been induced to speak well of her." The manner in which Charles first became acquainted with Nell is variously related: the story told by Galt, in his com pilation of the "Lives of the Players," is as with the Duke of York, as private gentlemen, follows: "The king having gone to the play they sat in the next box to Nell and her lover, a young nobleman, (Lord Budchurst ;) and, as soon as the play was finished, Charles, the duke, and the nobleman, with Nell, supped at a tavern. When the reckoning came to be paid, the king, searching his pockets, found he had not money to disNELL GWYNNE," (forthcoming.) charge it, and his brother was in the same A NOTICE of poor Nelly," who is about to condition." Another story states, that the appear at Covent-garden, as the heroiue of a first time the king saw Nell was on the ocdrama, (by Mr. Jerrold,) may not be unin-casion of her speaking the prologue in the teresting to our theatrical readers. The piece, it is said, presents Nell before her liaison with Charles the Second. Thus, we have her endeavours to get on the stage; her appearance as an orange girl at the King's Theatre, Drury-lane; with the Prologue to The Conquest of Grenada, spoken before the King in a large, coach-wheel hat and waste belt." The story of this hat is not very generally known. Even Sir Walter Scott, in his edition of Dryden, professes his ignorance of its origin. The story is as follows: On one occasion, some French courtiers in the suite of the sister of Charles appeared in this country, wearing huge hats and waist-belts. Nokes, the famous comedian at the Duke's Theatre, Lincoln's-inn, in order to ridicule the fashion of the foreigners, spoke a prologue in an enormous beaver and correspondingly monstrous belt. The jest took the town; when Nokes, in his turn, was ridiculed in a prologue written by Dryden, which prologue was spoken by Mistress Nelly. Dryden alJudes, in the following lines, to the hat of the other House. DRAMA. "This jest was first of the other house's making So dull, to laugh once more for love of me," &c. &c.
