THE DUCHESS OF KENT'S BIRTH-DAY.—On
Saturday her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent com-
pleted her fifty-third year. The morning was ushered in
at Kensington—so many years the residence of her Royal
Highness and of her august daughter—by a merry peal
from the bells of the Old Church, which was responded to
by those of St. Martin-in-the-Fields and St. Margaret,
Westminster. In the course of the forenoon her Royal
Highness received congratulatory visits from the members
of the Royal Family, and the principal members of the
Nobility, &c. ; and, shortly after two o'clock, the Duchess
accompanied her Majesty to Windsor, where a select circle
had been invited to commemorate the day. The Royal
cortege consisted of three carriages, drawn by four horses
each, and attended by an escort of the 14th Hussars. In
the first (an open landau) were her Majesty, the Duchess
of Kent, and Lady Portman; in the second, Lord Mel-
bourne; and in the third, Lord Byron, the Baroness
Lehzen, &c. During the Royal progress through the
Parks, Kensington, Hammersmi,th, Brentford, &c., both
her Majesty and the Duchess of Kent were received by the
numerous assemblages who lined the sides of the road,
with every demonstration of respect and attachment Eng-
lishmen are wont to display to the Sovereign, and those
they hold most dear. In the afternoon her Royal High-
ness's tradespeople dined together at the King's Arms
Tavern, High-street, Kensington, Mr. J. Wyld, geogra-
pher, of 453, Strand, in the chair, when the health of her
Majesty and the Duchess of Kent were drunk amid the
the loudest cheering we ever remember having heard. The
usual loyal and patriotic toasts followed, and the company
did not separate until a late hour. In the evening the
High-street, Kensington, was one blaze of light, most of
the houses being illuminated, the animated scene being en-
livened by a band playing national airs. The houses of
her Royal Highness's London tradesmen were also
,illu-
minated. .
ESCAPE FROM GAOL.—On Tuesday night
two prisoners escaped from Truro prison by cutting through
clasptile
secured the ofapatent padlock, and an iron bar which
