PRINCE ALBERT " A COLONELLING." Prince
Albert has during this week been out several times with the
brigade of Foot Guards at morning drill in Hyde-park. The
circumstance escaped general notice in consequence of the
Prince being in the uniform of ;he Guards. We were much
gratified to see the steady rod skihal manner in which his
Royal Highness handled the brigad::, the movements being.
without exception, of the practical' and not the showy cha-
racter usually practised. The wise heads at the clubs shake
them and wag their tongues that a'l this savours of an early
appointment to be Crounander-in-Chief, in spite of all the
rumours of law objections. We do not, however, think so,
but are of opinion that the Prince is rubbing off some mili-
tary rust so apt to visit soldiers more in courts than camps.—

A HOLIDAY AT SOUTHAMPTON.—Yesterday was
observed as a universal holiday at Southampton, in com-

Wight, and every horse raid conveyance in the town were
engaged by the holiday seekers. All the cricket-grounds in

Matches took place between the Southampton Rifle Club,
the Hampshire Yeomanry, t'ae Royal Engineers, and the
Pensioner:. About 500 perso is visq; I Southampton yester-
day from the Dorch( ster line in t r excursion train, and in

the Foresters din: .1 toge;:her during tt e day, the Mayor of
Southampton, Sir A. Cockbura, M.P., Mr. Willcox, M.P.,
and several other gentlemen, d'ning Nrith them. These holi-
days are not unfrequent in the ..outh of England, and the
unanimity which prevails amongst all classes of employers
in.consenting to such relaxations from labour, is remarkable
and highly to be commended.

bliss Burdett Coutts visited Exeter a few days ago,
and received much attention from the clerey. An amusing
story pertaining thereto is told, by the Western Times, of
the Rev. Prebendary Hole. Seeing an elegant ladylike per-
son in the cathedral, fol'owed by a man-servant in Miss
Cout s's livery, the prebe dr j made up to her, and volun-
teered his cervices to show her the c Abedral. Those services
Were accepted, and he prattled oa. atJat her liberality, all
that he had heard of her goodly 7s, and, fivally, placed the
claims of a certain institution before the lady. The lady
nodded an easy acquie,.ceuce in al he said, bat gave no
farther sign. It afterwards turned out that the Rev. Hole
had been doing the polite to my lc iy's•maid.

THE IRISH QUARY'EitLY REVIEW.
This magazine contains a notice of the survey of
Ireland, by Dr. Pery ; a long account of Cock
burn's Life of Jeffrey, with a selection from his cor-
respondence, a detailed description of the streets of
Dublin, which affords considerable instruction on
many points of national interest. The last article is
on the poet Moore, which after narrating the events
of his life, eulogising his talents, and proclaiming his
worth, conclude'j by expressing an earnest hope that
the country he served as a ptriot, and adorned as a
poet should seek to do him honour ; an enduring
monument it is said is raised in other cities and in
other lands to the memory of the great departed, and
the birthplace of the bard should not be found want-
ing in the cause.
