On the occasion oi her visit to the Paris Exhibi-
tion, on Friday, the Queen of the Belgians wore a lilac
silk dress, with white flowers, a bonnet of a similar colour,

The Archduchess Matilda, daughter of the Arch-
duke Albert, met with a serious accident on the afternoon
of the 72nd. By some means, at present unknown, her

The fair which has attracted so many to Hurd-
war, estimated at from two to three millions, is, says a
correspondent of the Delhi Gazette, the "Mahe Coomb
Mela" which, according to native tradition has come
after a period of 144 years. This is the 12th " Coomb"
since the period of the Ganges being considered a holy
stream ; thus leaving but thirty-two years for the com-
pletion of its prescribed age, when it will become as
other rivers, possessing no peculiar vitue, and not be
worshipped, though to a certain extent it will continue to
be revered. The Pioneer states that the Maharaja of
Cashmere bestowed four elephants with their gold and
silver howdahs and trappings, twenty horses richly capa-
risoned, a large number of cows and buffaloes, sad about
two lakhs of rupees on the Brahmins of Murderer. The
crowds began to assemble on the 15th Much and reached
their highest number on 12th April. Bo admirablymenaged
have the arreagements been that only two old people were
killed and the masses left loud in their praise of the Eng-
lish *.
