The Queen of Denmark is expected in London on a
visit to her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales. It is

taken by the Princess, who, being fond of sketching, had

at Sandringham.

We are authorised to state that in consequence
of the death of the Duchess of Schleswig-Holstein-
Augustenburg, mother of his Royal Highness the

be held on Thursday nest, the 14th inst., has been
postponed.
Viscount and Viscountess Doneraile have left
town for Donernile, Ireland, in consequence of the Fenian
disturbances there.

Mrs. Gladstone will have an evening party to-
morrow at the family residence on Carlton-house-terrace.

Lord and Ludy Fitzwilliam have left Wentworth
Woodhouse for their seat in Ireland. We (Times) trust
this departure may be followed by those of some other
large Irish proprietors who habitually reside in England
or France.

Lord and Lady Cowley have returned to Paris
from Enghind, with Lady Royston and her children.

A letter from Rome, dated Ash-Wednesday, says :
"The young Duke of Norfolk is expected this week in
Rome. Mr. Philip Howard, of Corby, Mm. Theodore
Galion, Lord Boyle. Lady Castleresse, and Lady Alice
Kerr are among the last English arrivals."

Major Frederic Brine, Royal Engineers, has
been selected by the Secretary of State for India to pro-
ceed overland to Bombay, Madras, and Calcutta in charge

The Tiny; is authorised to contradict the state-
ment made by the Berkshire Chronicle, that "Mr. Walter
has given up his right of presentation to the vacant in-
cumbency of St. Paul's, Wokingliam, and has placed the
nomination of the new incumbent absolutely in the hands
of the Bishop of Oxford."

The Rev. Dr. Foley, the protestant rector of a
parish in Tipperary, sends to the Times some advice as to
the best way of suppressing the Fenians. The latter, be
says, " have no army, and never will have an army, and
will never stand up against the Queen's troops or police
anywhere ; but they can go about the country as midnight
marauders, and carry terror to scattered families. The
police stations are admirably placed to meet this danger.
If need be, they should be increased and strengthened,
and there would remain no place for the gatherings of the
disaffected from which they could not be dislodged and
hunted with the return of the light of day."
