The Duke and Duchess of Cleveland are at

The Marquises of Hastings and Waterford, the
Earls of Rosslyn and Desart, and Lord Archibald St.
Mawr, will commence the hunting season the first week
in the ensuing month at Melton Mowbray. The Earl
of Chesterfield has taken stabling at Scadwell, North-
amptonshire. The Noble Earl's brother-in-law (the
Hon. Captain Charles Forester) will have the manage-
ment of his Lordship's pack, consisting of eighty couple
of hounds, until his return from the Continent.

We are requested to say, in consequence of some
facts which have lately come to the knowledge of the
friends of Lady Harriet de Blaquiere, that it is consi-

• -
dered justice to that lady to state that she has never
been abroad in her life, and was never out of England
but for a few months in Ireland, immediately after her
marriage with Colonel Wm. de Blaquiere in 1811.
The Earl of Albemarle, Master of the Horse,

don Castle.

The Marchioness of Salisbury rallied on Sa-
turday last, and was better on Sunday than she had
been for the last three weeks. On the first-mentioned
day her Ladyship was removed from the bed-room she
occupied on her arrival in Arlington-street to another
which was thought more eligible. The constantly lying
on a bed has brought on great debility, and the back
has suffered much from that cause. A German phy-
sician c) great skill has accompanied the family over,
and it was by his advice that the patient was brought
home, he stating that the air of England was better
than any other for her complaint. Two physicians in
addition were called in on Saturday.

A correspondent informs us that amongst the
company assembled during the past week to witness the
camp and military evolutions at Fontainebleau, were
Sir William Follett, M.P., and family. The Learned
Gentleman looked extremely well, and appeared to
watch the proceedings as closely as though he had been
professionally engaged for that purpose.—Galignani.
The marriage of Lord Glenlyon to Miss Home
Drummond will take place in Scotland about the week
after next. • The day i 3 not yet fixed.
The Marquis of Normanby has arrived in town
from Brokman's Park, near Hatfield.
MARRIAGE OP THE QUEEN —A Church and
State No-Popery paper puts forth the following equally
alarming and loyal statement Coburg family have
left for the consummation of a marriage between Prince
Albert of that house, and Queen Victoria ; and it is also
rumoured that he is a convert to the Roman Catholic
religion. This report gathers much conformation from
the fact, that although Prince Ferdinand attended St.
George's Chapel while on a visit, his children attended

high mass at the Roman Catholic Chapel at Clewer.
This chapel is private property ; but it seems to be ge-
nerally understood, that a new Roman Catholic Chapel
is to be built in Windsor, which will be worthy of
Romish visiters to the English Court, and the increasing
number of officials ; and perhaps of the Queen's hus-
band, and --, " When James 11. went to mass, the
Duke of Norfolk, carrying the Sword of State, stopped
at the chapel door and let the King pass. Your
father,' said James to him, would have gone further.'
Your Majesty's father,' replied the Duke, ' would not
have gone so far.' " Her Majesty once had a father,
who, it is believed, " would not have gone so far" as her
surviving parent has done in the arrangements.

The -failure of the Marquis of Huntly has ex-
cited considerable sensation in this quarter. His debts
are said to average 600,0001., whilst, from the schedule
of funds, it appears there are not Is. 6d. per pound

likely to be realized to pay the debts. This town suf-
fers only 10,0001. ; Dundee, 20,000/. ; Montrose,
30,000/. ; and Aberdeen, 100,000/. The Noble Mar-
quis has gone ad interim to Paris.—Arbroath Herald.
[The Marquis of Huntly is premier Marquis of Scot-
land ; b. 1761, sue. to' the Earldom of Aboyne on the
death of hjs father, Charles, fourth Earl, in 1794, and
to the Marquisate of Huntly on the death of George,
fifth Duke of Gordon, in 1836.]
Mr. Hill, the General Inspector of Prisons for
Scotland, has been in Glasgow,andhadaconferenee with
the Magistrates. The Scotch Prisons' Bill will not
come into operation till next year ; and then it is in-
tended that the old French prison or barracks at Perth
shall be converted into the general penitentiary for
Scotland. By this means at least 1.)0 prisoners may
be drafted from the present complement in Glasgow
bridewell, and by this riddance the Commissioners will
be enabled to convert Bridewell into the criminal prison
for Glasgow.---Glasgow Paper.
ROYAL EXCHANGE.—At the Common Coun-
cil yesterday Mr. Jones, the city architect. stated that
the Committee would report the three best designs in
a few days, after which there would be a public view
of the whole of the plans. By the beginning of the
year the ground would be completely cleared.
MAITLAND, SYDNEY, APRIL, 1839.—The
welcome descent of misty rain, and the succession of
verdure-producing showers, have furnished effects for
the most grateful piety to the supreme cause of life and
and nourishment. The Governor has been in the midst
of it, making inspection of the territorial capabilities of
this chaplaincy. At a time when the alarmists—dis-
trustful of . the Unerring Promisor of seed-time and
harvest, and winter and summer, depress the public
hope and spirits of the enterprising with accounts of ca-
lamity, it is ground of considerable gratulation that the
interchanges of holy nature's ties, unseparated by the
greatest distance possible on this globe, communicate
the gladdening news of reviving benefits and beauteous
prospects amid the despondencies of recent sufferers and
the undue foregoings of faithful anticipation.—Extract
of a letter from Sydney.
A large number of Englishmen who had taken
service in Don Carlos's army have within the last few
days passed though Rennes, returning to England by
St. Malo and Jersoy.—French Paper.
