VISIT OF THE COURT TO BILMORAL.—The officials of the
Great Northern Railway have received instructions to hold
in readiness their train of state carriages for the conveyance
of the Queen and the Royal family from King's•cross station,
London, to Scotland, this week. The Duchess of Kent pro-
ceeded to the north by the same route about ten days since.
Her Royal Highness travelled by the Great Northern day
express, occupying a saloon carriage, and being accompanied
by her usual retinue of attendants.
THE Paris papers describe the dress of the Queen and Em-
press at the opera. Both Her Majesty and the Empress were
dressed in white, and each wore a diadem of diamonds, but of
a somewhat different description, that of the Empress being
taller and closer, and entirely of diamonds and emeralds.
Both their Majesties wore superb necklaces of diamonds and
emeralds, with other ornaments to match. Queen Victoria'
displayed the riband of the garter, and the Empress Eugenie
the cordon of the order of Isabella the Catholic; and both
held magnificent bouquets.
VISCOUNT HEREFORD, the premier Viscount of the English
peerage, expired on Saturday week, at his residence in Wilton-
crescent, London. The deceased, Robert Fleming Dev ereux,Vis-
count Hereford in the peerage of England, and a baronet, was
eldest son of Henry,l4th Viscount, by Frances Elizabeth, third
daughter of the late Sir George Cornwall. He was born the
3rd of May, 1809, and married, in 1841, the daughter of the
late Mr. George Ravenscroft, by whom he had a youthful
family. The deceased succeeded to the ancient viscountcy on
the death of his father, the 31st of May, 1843. His eldest son
Robert, born in 1843, succeeds to the family honours.
