MR. LAYARD, M.P.—We understand that Mr. Layard,
M.P. for Aylesbury, has another work in the press on the
subject of Assyrian Antiquities.
We (fierapath) understand that the Great Western
Railway Company will pay a better dividend than is gene-
rally expected, and carry over a respectable balance.
A letter from Vienna confirms the report that the Arch-
duke Albert, who has lately returned from Italy, will not
resume his situation of governor of Hungary, but will hold
a high military post near the Emperor.
EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.—We understand that
the half-yearly meeting of this company will be held on
the 29th of February, although we believe no decision of
the board has fixed the day of meeting. "
It is c infidently reported that the French Corps Legit.
tatif will be convoked for February 15th. Should the
news be true, it is scarcely doubtful that the new loan
expected for April will be brought out oa the opening of
the Chamber.
IRISH POTATOE CROP.—We are assured by the (Irk
Examiner that the supply of potatoes in the hands of the
farmers is much greater than has been estimated ; and that
according as this fact becomes more apparent the trade in
Indian corn is declining.
The Qpikiene of Turin, of the sth, states that General
La tiarmora's departure for Paris is adjourned for a few
days, in consequence of a contusion received on his leg by
the door of a railway carriage striking against it, and which
has caused such injury as to confine him to his bed. A
cabinet council was held at his house on the 3rd.
DEATH OF THE MARQUIS TOWNSHEND.—lntelligence
has been received of the death of the Marquis Townshend,
which event took plaoe a few days since, at his lordship's
villa in the vicinity of Genoa, where the marquis had
lived for many years past in the strictest retirement.
The late marquis is succeeded in the marquisate and
ancient family honours by his cousin, Captain J. Town-
shend, R.N., M.P. for Tamworth, born in March, 1798,
and married in 1825, Elizabeth Jane, eldest daughter of
the late Lord George Stuart, son of the first Marquis
of Bute.
UNIVERSITY INTmtaaaENCL.—Tho mastership of Clare
Hall, Cambridge, has just become vacant by the demise of
the Rev. W. Webb, D.D., who held it for the lengthened
period of forty years, and, at the time of his decease, was
the Lower Master of the University. The Rev. Dr. Webb
died at his vicarage at I ittlington, on Friday last, at the
ripe age of eighty-one years. The appointment of his sue-
cessor is with the fellows of the College, nineteen in
Dumber; and rumour has it that the election will fall
either upon the Rev, Francis Shephard, or the Rev. Mr.
Power, ;the respected librarian of the University. The
election must take place within eleven days from the
declaration of the vacancy.
RESIARKARL,E INCIDENT.—At a medical board held yes-
terday at Brampton, among the number passed as unfit
for further service was Robert Evans, 13th Light Dra-
goons, a youth who has been in hospital nearly twelve
months, and received his injury in an extraordinary man-
ner. In the charge of Balaklava a shell entered the ohest
of his horse, which :rolled completely over, falling upon
Evans, when the shell burst inside the animal, tearing it
open from the shoulder to the hind-quarters, the weight
of the horse causing suffocation, while its death struggles
inflicted sev ere contusions on the legs of Evans, who
would have soon expired had not a man of his own troop
and two Lancers released him. Her Majesty evinced,
great sympathy for this youth, and his photograph like•
ness was taken by her special command.
The Emperor Napoleon, with fine taste and delicate
courtesy, has sent over to the Queen a very pretty and
very precious Christmas gift. It is in the form of a Lady's
Album, and the substance of it is an artistic memorial of
her Majesty's visit to Paris. The drawings are in water
colour, by the moat renowned French masters. The
Queen at Boulogne is by M. Morel patio, and the depar-
ture from that port by 111. Mozin. M. Chavel contributes
two illustrations to the Royal Album—the ball at Ver-
sailles, and the Imperial supper. The Queen's arrival in
Paris is drawn by M. Guerard. M. Eugene Lami illus-
trates the arrival at St. Cloud. A few other drawings
are by artists less known :in England. The case which
contains these treasures is got up iu the most exquisite
style, and with all the richness of ornamentation for
which French design is renowned. The book, we believe,
was produced for the Emperor at a cost of a thousand
guineas.

ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP A MANUFACTORY.--On ThUra.
day evening a determined attempt was made to destroy
a manufacturing building at Dronfield, Derbyshire, by an
explosion of gunpowder. Mr. George Ward carries on at
that place the manufacture of spindles, and a portion of
his grinding wheel is let. off to persons engaged in other
branches of the trade of the district. One of these is an
edge-tool grinder, named Spooner, who does not belong
to the trade union. Probably feelings of resentment have
been excited against Mr. Ward for harbouring Spooner.
During the dead of the night a tremendous explosion
oceured, which awoke the sleeping inhabitants in the
vicinity. An examination of the manufactory showed
that a large quantity of gunpowder had been put dawn a
chimney of the grinding-wheel, and exploded, the violence
of the shock having entirely blown down one end of the
building. Had the explosion acted in the opposite direc-
tion, it must have done great damage to the machinery
and property within the building.

" Sebastopol, Nov.
acknowledge the receipt of the congratulatory address of
the magistrates of the county of Norfolk, and I hasten to
thank them for an honour as unexpected as it is unquali-
fied: There were many at the Redan who did their duty
as well as did; few that had such providential protection;
none that had such reward. I beg through you to com-
municate to the magistrates of my native county my heart-
felt thanks-for their address, which I shall band down to
my children with pride and satisfaction ; and I only regret
that many are now in their graves in Norfolk who would
equally thank them for their kind and
