TUE RUSSIAN LEGATION.—The Countess Chreptowitch
is about to renew the hospitalities of the Russian Legatior,

Brunnow. The splendid saloons of Chesham House will
be re-opened for the first time on the 25th instant, with a

A letter from Rome of the 7th says :—"Amongst the
Russian magnates who have preceded -the arrival of the
Empress Dowager is Prince D.Jlgoronky, late minister of
war, and one of the prime favourites of the Emperor
Nicholas. The prince visited the Vatican library last
week, and was wheeled through the ample halls of that
unrivalled collection in his perambulator chair, attended by
no less a cicerone than Cardinal Antonelli himself, who
considered it his duty, cs prefect of the Apostolic Palaces,
to do all possible honour to the Russian ex minister."

periodical meeting of this society was held, last evening,

SUDDEN DEA:rms.—On Sunday morning, Mr. John
Carver, who kept the "World's End" public house, died
suddenly. The deceased was highly respected by a large
circle of friends. The disease which terminated so fatally
and suddenly, was affection of the brain, and the medical

inquest is not necessary.—Oa Sunday morning, the body of
a man whose name is not known, was found floating in the
George's Dock.-01 Saturday afternoon a man named
William ITinvin, who resided in Albert-street, Eyerton,
and who was engaged at Mr. Pooley's factory, Manchester-

THE VERY LA ST. —We may take the liberty of giving
cnrreney to an anecdote which will, we may be assured,
appear in the columns of the Examiner to-morrow. At all
events, it is one which must very much delight the old
gentlewoman who does the gossiping part of that paper.
Rumour saith that, some time before the fatal decision in
the commons, a gave gentleman met Mr. Gladstone, and
informed bins that the Archbishop of Canterhiry was ill.
"Ill," responded the statesman, " awl pray who does Lord
Palmerston intend to appoint ?" The confidential answer
was, " Mr. Spurgeon." Whereupon Mr. Gladstone made
all possible haste to get down to the commons, saying, as
h,! wr.nt, " I must certainly vote against Lord almer,ton."
