LADY EMMELINE STUART WORTLEY died at Beyrout on
the 29th of October. On the Ist ..of May, while riding in the
neighbourhood of Jerusalem, her ladyship had her leg frac-
tured by the kick of a horse. Notwithstanding, however, the
weakened state of her constitution, she undertook a journey
from Beyrout to Aleppo, returning by an unfrequented road
across the Lebanon to the former place. She reached Beyrout
on the 26th of Oct., but in spite of the unremitting attentions
of Dr. Saquet, the French Government physician, and two
other medical gentlemen, her frame was so weakened and ex-
hausted by the excessive fatigue of the journey that she
gradually sank: Her daughter, Miss Stuart Wortley, who
was also very unwell, having been attacked by intermittent
fever, is considered out of danger.

MATRIMONIAL DESIGNS Olc TIIE KING OF SARDINIA.—
As the period of the visit of the King of Sardinia to this
country draws near, rumour and speculation is rife as-to its
object and result. There is no doubt that nothing would be
more suitable than a closer alliance by marriage between the
Royal Families-of England and Sardinia. It is well known
that with the Government and.people of Sardinia the desire
that the future Queen should be a Protestant Princess is pre-
eminent. The noble stand the King has made against the
aggressions of Rome, his persecution by the Pope, his ,close
alliance with England, and the pdsition of a young, graceful,
and accomplished Princess of our Royal Family, have excited
ardent hopes, which may possibly be fulfilled.—The Press.
