The Grand Duchess of Russia, accompaaied by
Baron Brunnow, the Russian Ambassador, visited
this morning the Reading Room at the British Museum.

the building, and appeared to derive from her visit very
great gratification.
MR W. F. WINDHAM.—This singular individual
is now working a coach with great regularity between
Norwich. North Walsham, and Cromer; Mr Windham is
no longer proprietor of the coach, but discharges his duties
as "coaches"--looking after the luggage, the way-bill, &c.,
in an exemplary manner. He has become extremely fat,
and has a very jolly appearance. His coach is threatened,
however, with the all-powerful opposition of the locomotive
the East Norfolk Railway Company being about to com-
mence the construction of a line between Norwich - and
North Walsham. It should not be forgotten that Mr.
Windham's father erns once M.P. for East Norfolk, that
one of his uncles was a lieutenant-general in the. tinny,
and another a marquis !
SALMON FISHING IN THE NESS.—The lower
part of the Ness has ceased to be so productive as
it was during last week, owing principally to the fall in the
volume of water, yet Mt. Maclean and Mr. Tait continue to
get a good haul occasionally. Farther up the anglers have
had excellent sport. Mr. Baillie, of Ley, caught a salmon
and three grilse, and on the Holm water Messrs. Dennison
and Reeve have been very successful, having killed 17 fish,
principally grilse. The Beauly fishings have turned out
remarkably well for the season. In February the export,
including boxes and ice, was 10 cwt; March, 1 ton 13 cwt ;
April, 2 tons 2 cwt; May, 1 ton 14 cwt; June, 4 tone
12 cwt; July, 26 tons 4 cwt. ; and in the first 10 days of
August, 3 tons 11 cwt 3 qrs—altogether more than 40 tons
of fish.—lnverness Advertiser.
NUREMBERG'S PROMISED MONUMENT TO STONE.
WALL JACKSON.—The way in which Nuremberg has
come to promise it is rather curioug. A young man from
Nuremberg, named Volk, emigrated to America as journey-

man cooper. After arriving there his early passion for art
grew stronger ; he made ske.ches for illustrated papers,
and gradually became a self-taught artist. The war found
him at Baltimore, whence he wandered south, and was en-
gaged as a draughtsman on the staff of one of the Southern
generals. He had made a bust of Stonewall Jackson from
a mask which he took from the dead face; and when the
monument was put up do competition by the Southern
Government the young German artist won the prize. But
even then be had to find means for executing his work,and
for this he ran a ship laden with cotton through the blockade
and brought it to Europe, where the sale of the cotton gave
him the funds required. He is now at work on the monu-
ment, which represents the general on horseback, a fine
Arabian steed from Stuttgart servin,g as a model for the
horse; Jackson's left hand holding the reins, his right rest-
ing calmly on his hip, and his whale bearing characterised
by native boldness and energy.

SIR ANDREW AGNEW'S BROAD HINTS•I
PROVERB A HUNDRED YEARS AGO).—The knight had
been troubled for some time by an impertinent intruder
before a friend was able to congratulate him on being rid of
his company. "Ah," ho replied, "I w,,s obliged to give
the loon a broad hint." "A broad hint 1" said the friend,
" why. I thought he was ono of those who would never take
any hint." "By my faith," rejoined Sir Andrew, "but he
was forced to take it; for as the chiel would ne gang oat at
the door, I just threw him oat at the window,"

letter was received from Mr Leslie, secretary to the National
College of Music, stating that " being anxious to assist de-
serving but poor children who may possess great musical
so as to place them in a position to earn their own living,
Illey propose giving gratuitous instruction to such children.
If t.sarefore, you have any such in your Union, and are
willing on their part to accept this offer, I shall be obliged
if you wi. l favour me with a communication on the sub-
joct."—Mr Young said he thought they had bette.t learn
Ohm the use of the scrubbing-brush.—The Chairman
said the objcci appeared to be to invite and assist
genius. He would like to see an institution to
assist boys of other .kinds of genius. It was well known
that the genius of Chantrey was only discovered accident-
ally, v,hile he was keeping cosis and cutting a knobstick. A
gentleman saw what he was doing, afid examined it, and
was so much pleased with it that he assist.al him in his
studies, and the boy afterwards became the eminent Sir
Francis Chantrey.—The Clerk (Mr. James) said if ser-
vants were bad, it was not because they were educated, but
through other causes.—The Chairman said ignorance never
made a servant better than education, Inquiries were
ordered to be made;of the Schoolmaster as to any children
in the house of a musical genius.
FATAL ACCIDENT TN A WELL.—=An accident of
fatal, but by no means of an uncommon character,
occurred at Garstang, Lancashire, very recently. The son
of a farmer in that district descended by a ladder into an old
well for the purpose of examining the discharge pipe. He
fell' from the ladder, when his brother went to assist him.
He also fell, and a third person present shouted for help,
but only in time to rescue one of the brothers. The other
was suffocated by the foul air in the well. •

Mr Nelson Girdleatone, who, since the retirement
of the late chief clerk, hate undertaken the onerous
duties which fall to the share of the official immediately
under the Storekeeper-General of the Navy, has received an
acting appointment, which, although it does not promote
him over the heats of his seniors, will enable him to stand
in the same position to Mr Dundas as did the lamented Mr
J. R. Clark —Army and Navy Ciazttte
PURCHASE OF ENGLISH THOROUGHBREDS FOR
THE KING OF ITALY.--The King of Italy has just pur-
chased of Mr M. Webster of Allerston, near Pickering,

renowned horse General

transpired, but very long figures have been obtained.
