I Afternoon, llh. 37m To-Ifonßow.-Morning, h. m. I Afternoon, 12h. 4m. :LONDON, FRIDAY, NOV. 22, 1867. The long-expected arrival of the Douro yesterday at Plymouth has brought us at last specific intelli gence concerning the disasters in the West Indies. So far as the worst report is concerned, the sub mersion of the island of Tortola, rumour has, as usual, been a marvellous magnifier. The island has been visited by the hurricane, and great damage and loss of life has been occasioned by it. The sfory of the submersion is altogether denied by the captain of the Solent, whose vessel lay only about two miles from the town. The captain estimates the loss of life at about one hundred persons, and these were killed by the fall of the houses. With respect to Tortola, then, the news is a great relief, for though there could be little question that the 10,000 lost and the death of every living thing were exaggerated statements, our intelligence was so conflicting and uncertain, and the hurricane was known to have been of so terrible and devastating a character, that there were grounds for the deepest uneasiness. In other respects, however, the news is bad enough, and the crowds of anxious friends who so eagerly watched for the arrival of the Douro will for the most part have but mournful tidings. The accounts confirm the impressions previously given as to the extent of the disasters. The hurri cane of the 29th October is said to have been the most terrific ever known without premonitory warning. At St. Thomas's the destruction was fearful. Houses were unroofed and thrown down, and blocks of stone whirled into the air and carried a considerable distance. For several days business was at a complete standstill, and even when the Douro left on Nov. 5 the people were hardly begin ning to recover. The offices of every description, offi cial, merchants', and printing, were so much wrecked that a connected account of the destruction was impossible. But at sea the devastation was so great that it cast the troubles of those on shore into the shade. About 80 vessels are known to have been sunk or blown ashore, and many have foundered whose names and destinations were unknown. The loss of life was enormous. Three hundred bodies were picked up and buried on the shores of St. Thomas, being only a portion of those actually lost. The greatest loss was of course the Rhone mail steamer, which had left for Peter Island the day before. On being struck with the gale she parted her cables, and tried to get away to the open sea, but was driven on the rocks and sunk, one passenger being saved and 23 of the crew out of 13 5. The Wye, another of the mail ships, was totally wrecked on Buck Island, while also trying to get out to sea, 13 men being saved out of a crew of 70. The loss of life at St. Thomas's on the day of the hurricane on shore, in the harbour, and among the shipping iu the vacnity is roughly calculated at 500, and judging from the nature and extent of the disasters there seems little ground for hoping that this estimate is too large. The destruction of property is of lesser conse quence, though that is in itself serious, and would be a calamity of considerable magnitude if the tempest had been less fatal. It will be some time before the island recovers from the shock. Un happily from the nature of the climate there is little hope of being able to guard against similar mis fortunes in the future, as no human prescience can always foretel the nature and extent of these sudden storms, and the rapidity with which they reach their height defeats all calculation An officer of one of the damaged ships reports that the de struction was occasioned by two hurricanes. The glass fell a good deal on the morning of the 29th October, and the captains of the Rhone and the Conway, which were close to gether, consulted how best to secure their ships from the threatened storm. At 11 o'clock a fearful hurricane blew from N.N.IV., half N., which lulled a little after twelve, and at h►lf-past twelve the Rhone was seen steaming to sea, it be ing almost calm. Ten minutes later it grew nearly dark, a fearful rush of wind from 5.5. E.,. half E., set in, and the unfortunate Rhone was driven mid ships on a reef. The Conway was driven ashore, and damaged, but not lost. We have a proof of the uncertainty of the best apparent provisions for safety in such seasons. At the first threat ening of the storm the Conway, a smal ler vessel, lay, as we have said, near the Rhone, and was transferring:, her passengers to the larger vessel. One passenger was heard to say to his wife when they had passed over, "Thank GOD, we're safe here." Unfortunately the result proved completely different. A letter from Mr. LAMB, the British Consul at St. Thomas's, confirms the accounts brought from other sources. It is, he says, impossible to give an idea of the occurrences of those four short hours, which can never be forgotten by any who lived through them. The following morning the inhabitants wandered out from their dismantled houses to realise the immense destruction, to look after the dying, and to bury the dead. The shore was strewed with wrecks and corpses, and, up to the date of his letter, Nov. 4, the crews of the wrecked vessels and the soldiers of the garrison had been occupied in burying the dead. The losses of the Royal Mail Company in ships, wharves, and factories he estimates at £240,000, and the losses of public and private property in full proportion ; but it is impossible to state with any accuracy the amount of damage when all is wreck and confusion. No doubt, with the characteristic energy and fortitude of British colonists, matters will soon be tolerably adjusted, and all that enterprise and courage can do to retrieve the disasters will be done ; but the history of the 29th October, 1867, will long remain a mournful record in West Indian history. The case of the Fenian convicts at Manchester engages at the pres?nt moment a great deal of at tention. On last evening the topic was referred to in the House of Commons. Mr. MAGUIRE intro duced the question, and urged the expediency of not putting the sentences into execution entirely upon legal grounds, not entering into •the merits of the affair, for fear, as he said, that he should injure the cause thereby. We give ample credit to the hon. member for the sincerity of his motives and the force of his own conviction, but a more mistaken course than that which he urges the authorities to adopt cannot well be imagined. It is nothing at all to do with the matter whether or not KELLY and I)EASY were brought up on a sufficient warrant; in any case the law must be respected, and allow ing, for the sake of argument, that any change i❑ the prisoners' condition could have been effected afterwards, it was a grave offence to resort to law less violence, and assault and injure the servants of the law in open day. Mr. MAGUIRE'S adjuration to the Government not to perpetrate a " legal murder" was met by cries of disapprobation, not indeed to be wondered at. General cheering greeted Mr. HARDY when he appeared to give his opinion, and declared that he was placed in a painful. position, and so was also to come extent the Government THE SUN, LOIDO.N, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 22, 1867 with which he was connected. He very truly said that he could not show the contempt for the Judges who had considered the question with the utmost gravity as to follow the course proposed by the hon. member whohad raised the topic. The attempt made in the cause of the prisoners to show that their offence was not murder, but manslaughter, rests upon the plea that KELLY and DEASY were not in lawful custody. The reply of Mr. Justice BLACKBURN to these objections is most complete and comprehensive, and fitly deserves the notice of all who have doubts or scruples on the matter. It is the premeditation of this matter that constitutes in a great measure the guilt of the prisoners now under sentence. We can not do better than quote some of the passages which refer most particularly to the case in dispute, and in which the learned Judge has completely settled the point so far as justice is concerned, and reason can follow the decisions of the law. "It was clearly proved that there was, on the part of the convicts, a deliberate, pre-arranged conspiracy to attack the police with fire-arms, and shoot them, if necessary, for the purpose of rescuing the two prisoners in their custody, and that they were well aware that the police were acting in obedience to the commands of a justice of the peace, who had full powers to remand the prisoners to gaol if he made a proper warrant for the purpose." We think it would be monstrous to suppose that, under such circum stances, even if the justice did make an informal warrant, it could possibly justify the slaughter of an officer in charge of the prisoner, and reduce such slaughter to the crime of manslaughter. Mr. HARDY stated that all the Judges have been con sulted on this point, and that their decision confirmed the opinion of Mr. Justice BLACK BURN and Mr. Justice MELLOR. It is certainly an unwise course which the friends of the prisoners and those who plead their cause are taking, and it is needful to say in reply to them that they forget or overlook the rights of others in their extreme anxiety to set forward the wrongs of the convicts. Nothing is more unfair or more unreasonable than to expect the police to execute their duty as they have been doing with decision and courage, if they are to be exposed to the perils which would environ them if these suggestions were attended to, and we feel quite convinced that the general view of the public will be in favour of M. HARDY. The Home Secretary is placed in a painful position, and it in scarcely reasonable to render his duty more onerous by putting forward such extravagant pleas as those last night assumed in the course of the debate. It will be observed, however, that the feel ing of the House yesterday was decidedly against those who advocated their views with so much assumption and asperity, and very wisely so, for to have argued with them in their tone of discourse, and in the meaning which it implied, would have compromised important inte rests, and invalidated the real ends of justice. The public are certain to approve of the decision of the Government, and to allow that all has been done that can be done in this matter to carry out the sacred ends of justice, and to admit of all possible doubts in the matter being set at rest. The ques tion is a painful one under any circumstances ; but it need not be rendered more so by the mistaken zeal of those who argue entirely from one point of view, and thus confuse the merits of the case. We are glad to see that Mr. HARDY has brought in a Bill to remedy the " costermongers' grievance," as it is called. By the terms of this enactment it appears that the " B,2ctioa of the -Metropolitan Streets Act relating to the display of goods in open spaces bordering on the footways and pavements shall not apply to itinerant vendors, so long as they carry on their trade in accordance with the regulations made from time to time by the Com missioners of Police." This is a very satisfactory solution of the difficulty, and it is fortunate that it should have been put before the house at this time, because it can be put with effect before the very cold weather sets in. As for the suggestion of Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE, that the subject should be referred to a select committee, we think it is a very unwise one, for a great deal of time must ine vitably be lost thereby ; whereas if due care be taken, the bill may be passed before Christmas, and thus great hardship and suffering be avoided. With the distress now existing, it would indeed be a serious thing if no steps were taken to prevent a great increase of want and misery, and the discontent that would pnvail is also to be counted as a serious evil in the affair. Under all the circumstances of the case, we think that the Home Secretary has acted with great discretion, and it will, in all probability, occasion a feeling of relief to many to hear of this new arrangement. In all those matters when a sudden change acts with harshness and vigour, it is ad visable for a timely remedy to be applied before more serious consequences may ensue, and great suffering be experienced. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening. The Paris papers to-day devote their attention exclusively to the Queen's Speech, which they characterise as being almost entirely devoted to the internal affairs of England. Several of them com plain very much that there is not a word about the proposed conference. The passage in the Speech relative to the expedition to Rome seems likely to lead to much controversy. By some it is considered as rather dictatorial if not offensive towards France, and that England was not justified in using expres- sions which are considered as conveying words of advice to the Emperor Napoleon. As to the conference, the Emperor's Speech has confirmed the news I sent to you upon the subject. It is now known that Saxony has refused the invi tation to join in it to the President of the Confede ration of Northern Germany. The Grand Duchy of Hesse accepts the proposal to take part in it. The Federal Council of Berne refuses, on the ground that Switzerland professes neutrality upon all Euro pean questions. MM. Coulvier, Gravier, and Chapelas, the astro nomers, have published a brief note respecting the recent phenomenon of shooting stars, but they say that in consequence of the foggy atmosphere it was very difficult to make observations from the Obser vatory of Paris. It is admitted that the appearance of these shooting stars was accurately predicted for November in 1766, verified in 1799 by Humboldt and Bouplaud as occurring in about 33 years. Olbers calculated their appearance in 34 years. Their first return in an imposing form was calculated for 1867, and thus the anticipations of the astronomers has proved to be correct. MM. Gravier and Chapelas regard the appearance of these stars this year as the minimum in regard to beauty. Their number was not great, and they were not brilliant. The effect, however, was much diminished by the brightness of the moon, which was at the full. The request formally made in the Senate for permission to put questions relative to Rome is signed by Baron Dupiu, Count de Bourqueney, the Archbishop of Paris, Viscount de Gueronniere, M. Dariste, Baron du Vincent, Cardinal de Bonnec hose, Cardinal Donnet, M. Laity, Admiral Charner, Count de la Hitte, M. Le Verrier, and General Gudin. The report in political circles is that M. Darboy, the Archbishop of Paris, will shortly pro ceed to Rome, charged with a special mission from the French Government on the subject. The Marquis de Moustier, Minister of Foreign Affairs, is preparing another circular in reference to this important Roman question. The members of the Legislative Body who sit in the bureaux will as semble to-morrow (Friday) to examine requests for interpellations placed in the hands of the President by MM. Larrabure, Chesnelong, the Baron de Mackan, and several of their colleagues in reference to the consequences which may arise for the late ex pedition to Rome as connected with the temporal sovereignty of the Pope. An express train on the Lyons Railway got off the rails and the locomotive was precipitated into a ditch, but strange to say no one was seriously hurt. The account given is that the express train for Lyons to Dijon ran into a goods train incautiously left on the line near Macon. Twenty-one passengers received contusions or injury, but so slight that they were all able to continuo their journey. A similar accident has taken place on the Northern line, between Perenchies and Lille, but none of the passengers were hurt. The driver only was slightly injured. The Chamber of Deputies of Bavaria has just rejected a proposition for the abolition of the punishment of death. The Patric is very dissatisfied with the Queen's Speech. It says—" The evil of Fenianism must have spread to a singular extent to render it neces sary for the Speech from the Throne to refer to it. The first cause of Fenianism was the oppression of a Catholic population which forms almost a third of British subjects. This is enough, we think, to indi cate that England is not quite mistress enough, as she supposes, to be disinterested on the Roman question, and to increase the number of Fenians by completely abandoning the Irish Catholics." The German papers state that the Prussian House of Lords has re-elected its former President, Count Everard de Stolberg-Wernegerode ; and also its former Vice-Presidents, M. de Frankenberg Ludvigsdorf and Count Bruhl. The Chamber then adjourned for a week to await communications of an important character from the Government. A certain number of eminent persons belonging to the annexed provinces have been called to the Upper House by ordonnance. Count de Munster, Hereditary Marshal of the States of Hanover, and Baron de Ruedesel, who holds the same office in llesse, have been named hereditary members. Counts de Kyphausen and de Bot ries, Hanoverians ; the Count de Reventlow-Farve of Holstein, and two great landed proprietors of Holstein, have been appointed members for life. A letter from Naples states that Mount Vesuvius was in eruption on the 13th and 14th inst. Four individuals named Robinet, Henz..;e, Des mascaux, and Lauvent have appeared before the Correctional Tribunal of the Seine, on the charge of assaulting the police in the cemetery of Mont martre, on the 2d of November last, when there was a sort of tumult, which the police interfered to check. - Some of the persons in the crowd cried " Dawn with the Police," and one of the defendants called out, " Vive Garibaldi." Robinet was con demned to imprisonment for three months, Henzee and Lauvent to one month, and Desmauzeaux to 15 days and 16f. fine. The defendants were also sentenced to pay the expenses of the proceedings. There is nothing new from Italy. Indeed I have travelled through all the papers, and visited all my sources of private information, and there is nothing political, social, or general worth writing about. THE ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION. The following is the official return of the services of " The Licensed Victualler" lifeboat at Hunstan ton : 18th November, 1867.—At 10 a.m. coxswain of the above lifeboat observed a barque on shore on the Woolpack Sand, seven miles distance from Hunstauton Lighthouse. Immediately launched the lifeboat and proceeded to the wrecked ship, and OG reaching the ship found it to be the Thetis, of Gottenburg, bound to London, with a cargo of tim ber and iron and battens. The crew had left the ship in their owu boats, and driving to leeward the lifeboat bore down on them and got the whole crew in the lifeboat, and brought the whole of them in safety on llunstanton beach at 3.30 p.m. L ATEST INTELLIGENCE.

In that brief space of time, two-thirds of the miserable tenements of the town were blown down, the gaol is destroyed ; the church, the hos pital, pier, school-house, Wesleyan chapel, and poor house are also destroyed, and my own dwell ing unroofed and rendered uninhabitable. 2. The loss of life cannot as yet be correctly ascertained. I have, however, already been offici ally informed of above twelve deaths in the town— two at Peter's Island, two at West End, while I hear that a quantity of people are killed in other parts of the country, and scarcely a hut or habita tion is left standing. 3. All was bright and verdant—the withering blast has passed over it, and not a fruit or other tree remains; the works of the few remaining estates are all totally destpoyed. 4. It is impossible for any pen to convey an accurate account of the appalling misery —there is not £5O in the public chest, and the chief tax, the House Tax of the year, is just falling due, and, of course, cannot be collected. If ever any calamity appealed to public sympathy, I am confident this will awaken it, and I trust your Grace will be able to point out some hope of relief, as we cannot levy taxes from this impoverished community. 5. I shall send down to St. Thomas so soon as I can get a boat to go, but all the sloops and canoes belonging to the place are either destroyed or very much damaged, and I do not know how soon I may be able to do so, and I trust from charity and other other sources we may be able to obtain some flour and cornmeal. Meanwhile, starvation or very like it, appears to be impending, for nearly all the small store of flour in the town was damaged by the tre mendous sea which swept in and carried away houses and individuals. 6. I forgot to add that the doctor's house is de stroyed, the clergyman's very much damaged, and I and my family are compelled to take refuge in the public offices, where the paupers and police are also sheltered. I have, &c., (Signed) ARTHUR RUMBOLD. His Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos. P.S.—The deaths in Road Town amount to 22- 1-20 of the population. ANSWERS AND REMARKS.

ROYAL GALLERY OE ILLUSTRATION.—MiSS Annie Sinclair°, a pupil of Mrs. Macfarren, made a successful first appearance at this delightful place of amusement on Mon day last. She is young, and evidently inexperienced, but she it; ladylike, intelligent, and pleasing, and though suf fering from nervousness sang the music allotted to her charmingly. The part (Miss Carbonell, in " A Dream of Venice") is a trying one to a novice, especially in her first scone, where she has only to speak a few empty sentences, and look pretty, which Miss Sinclairo had no difficulty in doing. As Venetia is the " Dream" she had a better op portunity, and used it so as to warrant the belief that with a little practice she will contribute to the pleasant evenings wo are accustomed to pass at the gallery, as efficiently by her acting as she does already by her singing.

DEATH OF MISS CLARA DENVIL.—Our obituary of to-day contains the death of this accomplished actress, at the early ago of 18, which took place on the evening of the 19th, in consequence of having ruptured a blood-vessel. Thu deceased had for some time previously been playing a very hying part in one of 11. J. Byron's pieces at the Royal Alexandra Theatre, Liverpool, in which she had to fall back dead at the end of the play, and she continued up to the evening of Saturday, the 9th inst , when on the following night it was discovered that she had ruptured a blood vessel. She gradually sank from the effects of this injury until the evening of Tuesday, when she died. The health of deceased had previously been in rather a delicate state from cold and cough, and she had been compelled at times to give up playing for weeks. Miss Denvil was the sole support of her mother and younger brother.—Notting ham Journal.

BATTLE IN ABYSSINIA. (From the Bombay Gazette.) We learn from reliable sources that a battle has taken place close to Magdala, between King Theo dorus and the rebels of that district of country. Theodorus has long been hemmed in on all sides by rebellious chiefs, who have shaken off his Im perial rule, each constituting himself a king in his own territory, or disputing the title with rivals of his own. The only province that remained faithful to him was the province of Begemeder, on the eastern shore of the Dembea Lake, and the secret of its fidelity was probably that there, Theodorus being personally present, he overawed the population into fidelity. At that time his rule extended from a little beyond Gondar (which had been Lis capital until he transferred his centre of power to Debra Tabor) as far as Magdala, which stood almost on the edge of the %Volk) Galli:8 country, whose chief had shaken off the supremacy of Theodorus. In February last even Begemeder, the sole remaining possession of Theodorus, broke out into insurrection, and since then it has gone from bad to worse. This insurrection was headed by a petty rebel chief, who established himself some where along the fifty miles of road or country that separates Debra Tabor from Magdala, even at that early date cutting off all communication between these two places. Communications, however, passed through at the end of May ; but as nothing, so far as we understand, has been heard of or from the Royal camp at Debra Tabor since the 20th of that month, it is certain that nothing was heard of Theodorus or the Debra Tabor and Gaff at prisoners for many weeks thereafter by the Magdala prisoners, or by the British Government—it is evident that the petty rebel chief referred to has been able to hold his own against Theodorus. The Begemeder peasants, however, have also risen in insurrection, and the last spot of Abyssinian ground Theodorus can call his own is in anarchy up to the very gates of Debra Tabor. What has become of the Debra Tabor and Gaffat captives nobody knows ; but the present movement of Theodorus has been a dash at Magdala through the rebel army that has cut his line of communication. The Governor of Magdala is still faithful to Theodorus—or rather we should say was, according to the last accounts— being, if we mistake not, a relative of the Emperor. The battle was a drawn battle between the King and the rebel chief, and both sides retired. The conflict was in fact a defeat to Theodorus, whose attempt to get into Magdala was completely frus trated. His Majesty is undoubtedly aware that an expedition has been undertaken against him by England, for he has confidential friends in Massowah who keep him informed of everything that is taking place, and messengers may pass through from Massowah to Debra in fifteen days, if they are unmolested on the way. The dark question thus arises—What has been the fate of the European prisoners who were with the King at Debra Tabor and Gaffat ? And what was the object of Theodorus in making this dash at Magdala 1 THE " LONDON" DINNER.—A great stir is at pre sent being made to obtain for the City clerks a good and substantial dinner at a moderate price, in place of the very objectionable arrangements under which hundreds at the present time are compelled to dine. It would be ridiculous to say that comfort in its most distant form at present falls to the lot of the many compelled to dine away from home, but the steps now being taken cannot but result in an improved, if not an entirely altered, state of things. Whilst, however, clerks are put to such great inconveni ence, mercantile and professional gentlemen have no cause to complain of the arrangements that are daily made to provide them with a meal worthy the name of a dinner. Mr. Frederick Sawyer has once more become lord-paramount at "The London," and has revived all the old celebrity it attained under his former management. He now daily provides in a manner worthy the splendid establishment over which he presides, and his dinners are served in a style calculated to please the most exacting diner-out. The wines also deserve high commendzeion ; in fact there is nothing to find fault with at the London, not even the tariff of prices, considering the quality of the articles supplied. There is a matter in Mr. Sawyer's arrangements which gives the greatest satisfaction to many of hispatrons, and would dos° to many more if it were publicly known that luncheon can be had in comfort at "The London" for actually less money than is charged at many other establishments where it is served, as the saying is, "standing." In addition to the dining comforts of Mr. Sawyer's establishment, it affords to his patrons all the facilities of a West-end dub without the necessity of an annual subscription being paid. THE FARNHAM INQCIRY.—This inquiry was re sumed yesterday before the Commissioners. The chief evidenca was that given by Dr. Stallard, one of the two gentlemen sent down by the Lancet. He was cross examined upon several points, but corroborated in every way the statements originally made. The inquiry was again adjourned. CROYDON GRAND METROPOLITAN STEEPLECHASE. —M.

THE PRINCE OF WALES IN WORCES- 1El?S111RE. _____ a _ Yesterday there was a considerable accession to the number of visitors who had been invited by the Due and Duchesse d'Aumale to meet his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales at Woodnorton, nea r Evesham. It was understood that his Royal High ness would honour the Worcestershire Fox Hnue ds with his company, and the consequence was one of those popular meets better for fellowship than for sport. Pershore was the fixture, but it was under stood that, for the convenience of the Royal part'' , the hounds would be taken on to Cropthorne, a village in the Vale of Evesham, on the banks of the Avon. The Royal party left Woodnorton shortly before 11, and proceeded by way of Evesham to the meet, about five miles distant. The Prince of Wales, accompanied by the Due d'Aumale, travelled 11 1 a carriage and four greys, and among the Royal party were the Due de Chartres, Duc d'Alencon, Duke of Beaufort, Lord Redesdale, Major Grey, M. Victor Van de Weyer, Mr. Holland, M.P., Mr' Vernon, M.P. (Master of the Hunt), and the Hon. F. 11. W. G. Calthorpe, M.P. A t Evesham, the In habitants turned out en masse to welcome the Roya l visitor, triumphal arches spanned every street and banners hung from every window. As the par t y proceeded slowly through the crowded streets, the Prince graciously acknowledged the repeated pla n " dits of the populace. The Prince and his Roy al host arrived at the seat of Mr. F. D. Holland, at at Cropthorne, at half-past 11 ; and, after a abor t halt for luncheon, mounted their horses and Pr ° , note ceeded to the meet, " Holland's Gorse," a not fox cover. Mr. Holland, the owner, accompan ied the Royal party, although suffering fro fractured collar-bone, the result of a fall a e few days ago. At the a pp o i n ted placo meeting there was, as had been expected, a great crowd of people on foot, on horseback, and in carriages, and Mr. Vernon at once led th fi sportsmen to the cover. It had, however, been 50 much disturbed previously by the people, that uP t° one o'clock there had been no " find: , Two fox es afterwards broke, but were mobbed and killed with' out a real run. The dinner party at Woodnort eu last evening included Prince Edward of a . " e Weimar, the Due de Chartres, Duc d'Alengon, Th ike of Beaufort, Earl and Countessof Dudley, Co e°t , Beauvoir, M. Estancelin, M. and Madame Lang% and Al:Victor Van de Weyer. To-day the Pr lac again shoots the Woodnorton coverts, the beet °i which have been reserved for this day's battue. Tbe shooting on Wednesday was over a limited beat, bll the bag numbered 271 head. The list was—Pb e ,,,, sants, 229 ; woodcocks, 2 ; hares, 11 ; rabbits,?'" Last night there was a general illumination at sham in honour of the Royal visit, and a ball, under the sanction of the mayor of the borough.
