General Knollys is commanded by the Prince of Wales to

have left Grosvenor House for Motcombe House, Dorset-
shire, where they purpose to remain until after Easter.

The Earl of Derby is better. The noble earl was
sufficiently recovered yesterday to leave his bedroom for
some hours, and there is every prospect of his early conva-
lescence. It is doubtful whether he will be able to resume
his active duties in Parliament before Easter holidays.

THE PRINCESS OF WALES' Nil EDDING DRESS.—
Some of our contemporaries having announced that tho
beautiful dress and train worn by H.R.H. the Princess of
Wales at her wedding were made abroad, we are able to
state positively that they were made in London, by one of
our own English Court dressmakers, Mrs. Aylen, of
Somerset-street, Portman-square, who also had the honour
of making the dress in which H.R.H. passed through
London, and of supplying the whole of the exquisite Honi-
ton lace worn by the Princess at her wedding.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT LONDON BRIDOE.—A

morning in endeavouring to get on board a steamboat whilst
it was starting from the pier at London-bridge. The body
was recovered and conveyed to Guy's Hospital, The follow-
ing description is given of deceased by the police :—" About
35 years of ago, 5 feet 3 inches high, brown cloak, black

FATAL ACCIDENT TO AN INFANT.—Yesterday
Mr. Walthew, the deputy coroner, held an inquest
at Dalston, respecting the death of Annie Horsley, aged 12
weeks. The mother, having to visit a sick sister, left her
infant in charge of one of her children, a little girl. Getting
tired of nursing, the girl placed the infant on the hearth-
rug, and went to sleep. When the mother returned she
found her poor babe in flames, and so frightfully burned
that immediate removal to the German Hospital was found
to be necessary. The surgeon of that institution rendered
all the assistance he could, but without avail. A verdict of
accidental death was returned.

THE ACCIDENTS AT THE ILLUMINATIONS.—Mr.
Isaac Walker, a silk manufacturer, has expired in
Guy's Hospital, from extensive fracture of the ribs, received
by the pressure of the crowd near Cornhill on the night of
the illuminations. This makes a total of eight deaths from
the accidents on Tuesday night last.:
MURDER AND SUICIDE ON BOARD A STEAMER.—
A desperate murder is reported to have taken place
at sea on board the steam-ship Grimsby, which arrived
in the port of Grimsby, from Hamburg, on Sunday.
It appears, from the statement of Mr. Isaac Freeman,
an interpreter, that the ship left Hamburg on the
13th inst., with 10 emigrant passengers, and on the 14th,
about 6 p.m., while the emigrants were talking together in
the fore 'cabin, one of them, named Schlosmacher, of Pots-
dam, suddenly, and without any provocation,
fell upon a
nam named Johann Frederick Lowerensen, of Schleswig,
another emigrant, and stabbed him in the abdomen with a
dagger knife, causing almost instant death. The murderer
was immediately secured by the crew, and lashed in the
roundhouse on deck, and locked up. On Sunday morning,
about 6 o'clock, it was found that he had broken loose, and
had hung himself with the lashings. It is supposed that
Schlosmacher was seized with a sudden fit of insanity when
he committed the murder, as the parties had not known
each other previously.
