The Echo du Luxembourg announces the dangerous
illness of the Landgrave of Hesse- Homburg, Governor of that:
fortress, adding that his recovery is despaired of. The Land-
grave, who is much beloved by the inhabitants of Luxemburg,
was born in 1770, and married to a Princess of Nassau-
Usingen, from whom he separated in 1805.

The Cabinet Council on Wednesday was held at
the private residence of Viscount Melbourne in South-street,
in consequence of his Lordship being somewhat indisposed.
Lord Holland, who is very feeble, arising from the gout in his
legs, was wheeled into the Council room.

Lady Suffield has been much indisposed at the
apartments of the Noble Lord at the Clarendon Hotel. On
Wednesday her Ladyship was rather better, and Lord Suifie/3.
left the Hotel for his scat, Lowsby Hall.
Count de Vismes, whose grandfather, Count Phil-
lippe de Vismes, a Hugonot Nobleman, sought an asylum in
England and settled here after the revocation of the edict of
Nantes, has just obtained a recognition of his hereditary ho-
nours from the French Government, through the constituted
authorities at Paris. This is, we believe, the only instance of
a descendant of any of those persecuted Protestant Nobles
having been able to recover honours which the lapse of years,,
the loss of family papers, and the destruction of public records
rendered almost hopeless. Count de Vismes held the rank,
some years ago, of Colonel in the Army, and was highly dis-
tinguished with his gallant regiment, the Guards, in the cam-
paign under, the Duke of York, in Holland. The family of
De Vismes derive from a branch of the Sovereign Counts of
Ponthieu, who were of the blood Royal of France, and since
their establishment in England have maintained their distinc-
tion. Lewis de Vismes, uncle of the present Count, was ac-
credited British Ambassador at the Court of Stockholm dur-
ing the reign of George 111.

Yesterday afternoon, between three and four o'clock,
H. L. Saunders, Esq., of No. 5, Devonshire-street, Queen-
square, accompanied by his son, a youth about ten years of
age, was proceeding along Guildford-street, Russell-square,
in a gig, when the horse became alarmed at a large butcher's
dog, which flew at its leg. The animal set off at an ungo-
vernable speed, defying all attempts of Mr. Saunders to check
its progress. On reaching the corner of the square, opposite
Southampton-row, the horse ran furiously against the iron
railings and fell. The shock was so violent as to throw Mr.
Saunders and his son out of the gig, and on some persons run-
ning to their assistance, Mr. Saunders was found to be quite
insensible, and bleeding profusely. His son bad received
severe fracture of the left arm. On being conveyed to their
residence, a surgeon was sent for, and it was then ascertained
that Mr. Saunders hai sustained a dreadful wound on the
head, which renders his recovery a matter of great uncertainty.
The back part of the skull was laid completely bare from hav-
ing come in contact with a sharp stone in falling. The horse,
which only a few weeks since, cost 751., was so much injured
that it was found necessary to slaughter it.
Yesterday morning, about half-past eight o'clock,
as Henry Thomas, groom to Mr. Rainer, of Upper Norton-
street, was mounting a spirited horse which his master was,
about purchasing, the animal suddenly started off and he was
thrown, the back part of his head striking the pavement, and
his foot hanging in the stirrup, in which dangerous situation
he was dragged a considerable distance, until the affrighted
animal was stopped by a butcher named Spinks, who at great
personal risk seizod the reins. The unfortunate man was
t ,k, » u Mr. Pr if t, surgeon, when it was discovered that he
had sustained a concussion of the brain and dislocated his shoul-
der. His master, who had witnessed the accident, rewarded
Spinks with a sovereign for his intrepidity.
