LORD LYNDHURST.

Since the announcement which was published in
our coil:luaus yesterday, we understand that Lord
Lyndhurst is still so far recovering that hopes are
given of his recovery. General the Hon. Charles
Grey, at the request of the Queen, sent yesterday
to learn the condition of the noble and learned lord.
The telegram was—" The Queen is very anxious to
hear how Lard Lyndhurst is."

The early bulletin announced that " Lord Lynd-
hurst had passed the night again satisfactorily, and
the improvement represented yesterday is sustained
to-day."
Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston sent a
special messenger from Broadlands, near Romsey,
on the noble Premier learning the dangerous illness
of the noble es-Lord Chancellor, and former col-
league. Lard Lyndhurst and Viscount Palmerston
are the only surviving members of the Administra-
tion of the Bight Hon. George Canning.
Later in the day the following bulletin was
issued, signed by Dr. Thomas Hawksley :—" The
improvement in Lord Lyndhurst's state has been
well sustained during the day and this evening."
The following bulletin Was issued this day :--
"Lord Lyndhurst has not passed so good a night
as the two preceding ones, and his condition to-day
is not quite so favourable as yesterday.
" THOS. HAWKSLEY, M.D."

EMIGRATION FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM in
1862 amounted to 121,214 souls, of whom 58,706,
or upwards of 48 per cent,, went to the United States;
15,522, or a little more than 12 per cent.; to British North
America; 41,843, or nearly 34 per cent, to Australia and
New Zealand ; and 5,143, or more than 4 per cent, to other
places. The emigration of 1862 exceeded the emigration of
1861 by upwards of 29,000 souls, and was larger than the
average of the four previous years, but fell much short of
the emigration of 1855, '56, and '57. and was less than two-
fifths of the emigration of the eight years from 1847 to 1855.
The greatest decrease, both in 1861 and 1862, was, as
might be expected, in the emigration to the United States.

WHlTEBAlT.—Whitebait, without Villch there
would be no Vessel, and in the minds of a great
many people no Greenwich—whitebait, which Theodore
Hook called " curl-papers fried in batter," which most
people sneeT at as nothing, and which everybody eats with
delight—aro caught where the water is a little brackish,
Lod Greenhithe, with a net 30
generally between Barking
feet long and 12 feet wide. This not is cast always in
daylight, either at high or low water, and remains two feet
below the surface until nearly the ebb or flood, as the ease
may be. At the commencement of the spring whitebait
quantifies, as these aro old
first appear, but not in large
fish who escaped the last year's netting_- bout the middle
of April the young fry, perfectly transparent. arrive, and
in the first week in May come to perfection. So it con-
tinues for a couple of months, then gradually whitebait get
larger and larger, and about the close of September are lost
sight of altogether. There is speciality for dressing "bait,"
and the fisherman who, assisted by his son, for upwards of
a score of years has supplied the Vessel, not only oatches
the whitebait but cooks them• On a glswing coke fire is
placed a large frying-pan full of boiling lard ; the fish,
first thoroughly rolled in flour, are placed in a cloth,
which is plunged into the hissing fat. The cook, a per-
fect Salamander, utterly impervious to the frightful heat
which makes strangers wink and beat a hasty retreat,
takes the handle of the frying-pan and turns it from right
to left, peering in at the seething mass. In two minutes
the cooking is accomplished, and the fish are emptied out of
the cloth on to a dish. Ye who would taste your bait in
perfection, get permission to eat it in the kitchen.—
