Sir George Grey arrived in town yesterday from
Tunbridge Wells.
Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt Jones has taken the ribbands,
as the regular driver of the Taglioni coach, to and from
Windsor.
At the west end of the town a noble establishment,
lately formed, has within these few days been broken up ;
even the domestics nave been paid off, and the supposed
opulent owner has left the country..
It is with sincere regret that we announce the death
of Arthur, Lord Templemore, on the 26th inst., at his
seat, Combe Bank, Kent, after an illness of ten days, de-
servedly lamented by a large circle of relations and friends.
His Lordship was born January 8, 1797, and married in
1820 Lady Augusta Paget, wham he has left in the deep-
est affliction, with eight children, to deplore his irreparable
loss.

Mr. George Lane Fox arrived in tOtvit on- Wednes-
day last from Bramhatn Park, and leaves town for Yorkshire
to-morrow to• join in the sports of the field at the com-
mencement of the hunting season.
DOVER, SEPT. 20.—Arrived, her Majesty's packet
Beaver. Lieut. Mudge, from Calais, with the Princess of
Saxe Weimar. Her Highness was received on landing by
the Duke of Cambridge, and conducted to the Ship Hotel.
After remaining there about four hours the Princess and
suite departed for London. Royal salutes were fired both
on her arrival and departure.
The Countess of Chesterfield entertained a small
party at dinner last evening at Chesterfield House. Her
Ladyship is on the eve of leaving on a visiting tour, the con-
templated departure for Germany being abandoned.
The Duke and Duchess of Bedford, the Marquis
and Marchioness of Abercorn, an:l Lord Casino Russell,
will leave the Doune of Rothiemurehus, in Inverness-shire,
on the 12th Oct., for Woburn Abbey.
The Duke of St. Alban's will resume the occu-
pancy of the family mansion at Redbourne, near Falking-
ham, in Lincolnshire, which seat the late Duchess never
liked, and withdrew from it shortly after her marriage.
Sir John Cam Hohliouse has taken the magnifi-
cent mansion, Erlstoke Park, Wiltshire, formerly the abode
of Mr. Watson Taylor, ex-Member for Devizes.
THE THAMES TUNNEL.—The damage done to
the Tunnel by the late irruption of the river has been re-
paired, and the public are admitted as before to inspect the
portion of the work that is completed. Three sets of men
are employed, who relieve each other every eight hours, so
that the works proceed without interruption by night as
well as by day, each set comprising between 100 and 120
workmen. We believe the only interval allowed for rest
or refreshment is about half an hour, and the sets are
varied so as to give each the night work in rotation.
The wages of the workmen average ahout 21. per week.
The progress is necessarily very slow, the shield being
advanced only a few inches in the course of twenty four
hours, and sometimes it remains stationary for days at a
time. Mr. Brunel is of opinion that no further interrup
Lion is to be dreaded. In a short time the excavation
will have proceeded as far as low water-mark.

ELECTION OF A COMNION COUNCILMAN FOR
ALDELSGATE WARD.—Yesterday the election, which was
conducted throughout in the most social and gentlemanlike
spirit, terminated in favour of the Conservative candidate.
Sir Peter Laurie, at three o'clock, stated that there were
for Mr. Wood, 95 votes, and for Mr. Alcock 64 (majority
in favour of the former at), and that Mr. Wood was, of
course, the new Common Councilman of the Ward. Mr.
Wood in returning thanks said he was' well assured if he
had appeared in the field before, many more electors would
have voted for him. Mr. Alcock said it was gratifying to
him to return thanks to those who had supported him, but
he certainly had to complain of the contrast between the
promises made and the votes given to him at the election.
Thirty at least had revolted. Others were not to be found,
and he had a letter from one who declared that business
prevented him from attending on either of the first two
days, but that if he was alive lie would appear ut the scratch
on the last ; and yet the
,books closed without the mark of
that worthy friend's name. Mr. Baines gave notice of the
following resolution fbr the neat wardmote :—" That this
wardmote cannot separate without expressing their most
decided disapprobation of that portion of the Registration
Act which exposes the voters to vexatious objections and
inconvenience in the Revising Barristers' Court. and they
confidently expect that a Liberal Government will not ailow
so obnoxious a clause to remain a part of the Reform Bill."
The wardmole then broke up.
Yesterday afternoon, about half-past five o'clock, as
a small wherry, with three persons in it, was proceeding
down the river, the tide, which was then running very hard,
forced the boat against the piles of Battersea-bridge, and
upset it, and they were all immersed in the water, and after
a short struggle they each sunk to rise no more. Assistance
put off from the shore, but it was too late, for the unfortu-
nate men did not iise again : they all appeared to be very
much intoxicated, and did not know how to manage the.
boat, which was said to belong to a person of the name of
Jones,. of Richmond, where it would appear that they came
from. From their exterior appearance they looked like
respectable young men. The drags were used for above
an hour without success, as their bodies must have been
earned a considerable distance by the eddy which runs from
the arches of the bridge. This is another fatal instance of
the impropriety of inexperienced persons venturing on the
water in boats, without taking experienced. watermen
with them,

A new statue, by 1Y ,David,
has just been placed
in the garden of the Tuileries, nisq.r the pavilion Musa:).
The subject is Philopcemon wounded in the thigh by a ja-
velin, which 119 is tearing out with one hand, while, with
the other, be is defending hinglif against Spartans. The
sculpture is masterly and fgorous,
