We (Herald) beard only of one contretemps at
the civic ball last night—the lose by the Countess Constance
Grosvenor of a very valuable bracelet alter entering the
hall.

The delivery of speeches and the presentation of
prices to the successful competitors amongst the pupils of
Dulwich College took place yesterday. in the picture gal-
lery. Amongst the numerous visitors present were the
Bishop of Winchester and Mr. Sumner, the Bishop of Lich-
field and Miss Lonsdale, the Archdeacon of London and
Miss H Mr. Locke, M.P. for Southwark ; the Rev. W.
Bogert, chairman of the board of governors, Ac.
The new member for Kinsale, Sir George Colt-
horst, has promised to give a general support to the present
government, and the member for New Rose will be likely
to do the same. These two elections, therefore, make no
change in the relative forces of the respective parties ; but
had the two ultramontane candidates succeeded, it would
have been so much strength added to the opposition. The
elections are, besides, important as indicating the decline
of the rabid sectarian feeling which carried the Longford
election. _ . _

The Afoniteur contains a glowing account of
Prince Napoleon's visit to Suez. The Princess, whilst her
husband was there, took up her abode in a palace at Casio,
which was planed at her disposal by the Viceroy. Prince
