don, her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
has received a note, dated the 23rd inst., from Count R.

ACCIDENT TO LORD BROWNIAW CECIL.—The
Marquis of Exeter has lately been entertaining a distin-
guished company at his seat in Burghley Park, and on
Thursday a party of gentlemen proceeded to the race-
course preserves for the purpose of enjoying cover shoot-
ing. Amongst the firing party was Count Bernstorff, the
Prussian ambassador. By some accident the discharge
from this gentleman's gun chanced to strike Lord Brown-
low Cecil, the shot taking effect in the lower part of one
of his legs. His lordship was conveyed to Burghley,
where surgical aid was promptly rendered, and most if not
all of the shot was extracted. Lord Cecil is fortunately
only slightly hurt, and by the latest accounts was pro-
gressing satisfactorily.
EGYPTIAN HALL—The latest novelty introduced
at Chang's levees is the evening tea parties by the giant's
wife, who kindly invites her patrons to partake of the re-
freebie; cup in trent Chines 'Kik —that is, without milk or
sugar—being at the same turn served up in the most ortho-
, do: china utensils. Another sorprixe to thou assembled
is the sudden appearance of Mau, who, during the repast
Prompts himself as a gout attired in European oostume.
The conceit of celestial music, produced under the able
superintendence of Mr. M. Chisholm, still continue, a
great attraction.

NATIONAL SCHOOLS OF DONCASTER:-1130 mini-
nacos of the Rev. Dr. Vaughan in his gifts of 1,0004 and
the leasehold, at a cost of 4301., of the site for the new
school buildings, has elicited the sympathies and the gene-
rosity of his congregation, parishioners, end the gentry of
the neighbourhood. The response is so marked that it is
doubtful whether any similar proposal has excited, in es
short a space of time, such a manifestation of liberal
feeling. The total amount subscribed during one week wee
1,059/. There is, however, ample scope for further effort,
as the estimated wet is 3,8901. Doncaster Gazette. _ _

VACCINATION FOR THE CArrLs Pr./WL—Mr.
Tollemache writes to the Times :—" You were good enough
on the 16th inst. to insert a letter from me, in which
mentioned an experiment which I was making with an
Alderney calf. lam sorry to say this morning the calf
succumbed to the disease, after being ill eight days. The
poison generated in her system, from her having been so
long in close contact with animals suffering from malignant
rinderpest, seems to have overpowered the influence of the
vaccination. I have also one vaccinated cow ill from
the disease, and another cow, also vaccinated, that
I have great misgivings about- As I do not
consider the death of the calf to be a fair test
of the vaccination theory. I ppuarrppoossae to-morrow to
inoculate a cow (that has been successfully vaccinated) with
the tears 'lnning from the eyes of a diseried beast. I also
purpose subjecting another cow, which has been vaccinated
and which (after ddeation) took oowpock, to precisely the
same experiment. If either of these cow. are proof against
'inclement, we shall gain much insight into the nature of
the disease and the best mode of dealing with it. The mast
eminent authorities seem satisfied that 'indorsed is bovine
smallpox ; we are not, therefore, groping in the dark, but
hells,/ our way with the view of dimmed:l'g some antidote
or palliative against this desolatieg scourd."
HER MAJESTY'S STAOROUNDL—It is stated that
Mr. Charles Davis, the veteran royal huntsman, who is
now 79 years of age, will retire from the position which he
has so long bald in the Queen's Hunt, at the end of this

SALE or Hownts&—On Wednesday there was
an unusually large sale of heroes at Meanie. &oft. °rod], I
and Bons' bazaar, Lothian-road, Edinburgh, and more than
ordinary interest was exhibited in it from the fact of the
magnificent stud of the late Mr. Ramsay, of Barton, form-
ing part of the catalogue. The total sum realised at the
sale was over 3,C30L It is understood that other horses
connected with the Linlithgowshire and Stirlingshire fox-
hounds will be exposed for public auction, along with the
hounds at the end of the present hunting season, in eon.
sequence of the decease of Mr. Ramsay, the master of the
hunt.
