MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.—It is the prevailing
belief in Ministerial circles, that Parliament will re-assemble
on Tuesday, the 3d of February. It is not yet decided
whether her Majesty will open Parliament in person.
A Cabinet Council will be held at the Foreign-
office on the 14th, and on Thursday, the 15th instant.
After the breaking up of the Cabinet Council on
Thursday, Lord John Russell proceeded to Windsor, and had
an interview with the Queen. The Noble Lord afterwards
returned to Richmond Park.
ACCIDENT TO MR. MILES, M.P.—An accident, but
fortunately not of a serious nature, occurred to the respected
Member fur East Somerset, William Miles, Esq., while shoot-
ing one day last week with some other gentlemen, in his pre-
cerves at Leigh Court. Captain Somerset fired at a hare,
when a portion of the shot lodged in Mr. Miles's leg, but
though the mishap has lamed the Hon. Member a little, we
are ref.oiced to say it has done him no serious damage.—

TEE LATE BOILER EXPLOSION AT GREAT BRIDGE.

of the unfortunate men killed by the explosion at the works
of Messrs. Davis and Bloomer, Golds Hill, near Great Bridge,
was formally opened this morning by Mr. Hinchlitfe, the

tific and otherwise, might be properly brought before tLe

PORTLAND, BREAKWATER.—The breakwater works
are making very favourable progress, and even now afford
very great and secure shelter to the numerous shipping
which take refuge in the bay. The works are carried out to
a distance of 7,750 feet from the original line of shore into
about 9 fathoms of water. Notwithstanding the serious
damage done to the works on the Ist of October last, when
upwards of 360 feet of the staging was swept away by a
tornado which crossed the bay with such violence as is rarely
known in these latitudes, the spirited contractor, d. T.
Leather, Esq., with his energetic agent, Mr. E. P. Smith,
under the active superintendence of air. Coode, the resident
engineer, have made all secure again after a continuance of
most untiring exertions.

RUIIOURED OBJECTION TO KOSSZITH'S RETUILN
TO ENGLAND.—A Hamburgh newspaper states that the
Ottoman Porte has addressed a note to the English Govern-
ment, in which it energetically protests against the contem-
plated return of Kossuth to England, his liberation having
taken place, it is alleged, upon the express condition of his
permanent residence in the United States. The Porte adds
that it will insist the more strongly upon the strict fulfil-
ment of this engagement, on account of the value which it
attaches to the amicable relations which have been happily
re-established between it and Austria. We find a parallel
statement in the -Vienna correspondence of the Cologne
Gazette
