AN ANECDOTE OF THE PRINCESS BEATRICS has
recently been related to the effect that H.R.H. was' or
pretended to be, greatly troubled in her mind one c:ay as to
the salt she was eating. How was she to know that it was
not part of the very salt into which Lot's wife was turned ?
As no answers would satisfy this anxiety, she was advised
to write to Dr. Stanley, then in the Holy Land with the
Prince of Wales, and a great favourite with the royal children.
She did so, and received in reply a most delightful letter
from the learned Dean.
"PRINCE NAPOLEON, on going to the Haminam,"
says the Court Journal, "had the distinguished honour of
taking his Turkish bath in the same room with Heenan,
the American prizefighter. Heenan was introduced to the
Prince, and they smoked a chibouk together." It should
be observed, however, in contradiction to our contemporary,
that although Prince Napoleon and Mr. Heenan were in the
Hammam ac Jermyn-street on the same day, they were
not together.
SIR W. ATEIERTON.—We regret to announce the
serious illness of Sir William Atherton, the late Attorney.
General. His illness has indeed assumed such a form es
to alarm his friends.
IHE NEW FRENCH AMBASSADOR TO THE Carla
OF ST. JAMES'S, the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne,
is !expected at, Gibraltar House (the former residence of
King Hudson), at Hyde park Corner, in the course of a few
weeks. The mansion is to be decorated, and in part re-
furnished; and it is whispered that the French Embassy
will again become the centre of all that is gay and brilliant
in the diplomatic world. The new Ambassador is a widower,
in the prime of life; and as his first wife was an English
lady, it is not improbable that the new mistress of Gibraltar
House may also be selected from our own countrywomen.
The Prince belongs to one of the oldest families of France,
and is said to stand high in the favour of his Imperial
master. The Count de Flahault, the predecessor of Berea
Gros at the Court of St. James's, also married an En.glisli
lady—the Baroness Keith and Nairne— and their t.`nlY
daughter is now the Marchioness of Lansdowne, havi:ls
married the present Marquis when holding, by courtesy)
the title of Earl of Shelburne.—Court Journal.

AFRAID OF THE BALLOON.—M.Eugene Arnoultr
in a second letter to the Nation, has given a fuller
account of M. Nadar's journey :—" While riding along 3t
a height of 700 metres we had beneath us a picture of Pall'
Potter's 50 leagues square. All at once the tableau became
animated. The people below had perceived the balloon.
We heard cries expressive of astonishment, fright, and even
anger—but the feeling of fright seemed to predominate.
We distinctly saw women in their chemises look hurriedly
out of windows and then rush back again. We saw chubby
boys looking at us, and blubbering as if they were mad-
Some men, more determined than the rest, fired off guns at
us. I saw several mammas pointing us out to stubborn
babies with an attitude which seemed to say that cur balloon
was ' Old Bogy.' Old women raised their hands againa4
us, and at their signal many ran away, making the sign or
the cross. It is evident that in some of these villages viti
were taken to be the devil in person. On that point it io
apropos to cite a letter communicated to me which 105
been addressed to the Courtier de Hanovre. I translate rt
textually :—' This morning, at about six o'clock, we 00/
parsing over our head, at a prodigious height, an humane
round form, to which was suspended something WhtO
looked like a square house of a red colour. Some 130°V.--
pretend to have seen animated beings in this strange
machine, and to have heard issuing from it superhurnsn
cries. What think you, Mr. Editor? The whole countd
is in a state of alarm, and it will be long before our PenPl'"
recover their equanimity.' "
MRS. PEULPOTTS.—The numerous friends and
admirers of the venerable Bishop of Exeter, now in his 86111
year, must have regretted to hear of the death of his wilt:—'
an event which had been expected for some time past
Mrs. Philpotts was the daughter of Mr, William Surteol °
Seaton Burn, Newcastle-on-Tyne, and was a near relative
of the late Lord Eldon. She married his lordship, then
Rev. Henry Philpotte, a rising clergyman in the dioce!roti.
Durham in 1801, and leaves a numerous family. Nilo.
Philpotts died at Bishopstowe, Torquay, and was in

82d year.
