The King of the Belgians and the Count de I

train, for the King's estate of Ardenne, at which residence
his Majesty will remain for a week.
THE GREAT FIRE IN THE CITY.—In former
accounts it was mentioned that the consquences of
this catastrophe would be to throw 300 hands employed by
one firm alone (Messrs. Grant, of Clement's-court) out of
work and wages for an indefinite period. It is satisfactory
to say that the promptitude of this firm will be considered
Marvellous, when it is stated that already, Within, as it were,
a few hours of the destruction of their warehouses, spacious
new premises have been taken in Gresham-street, where the
business is being carried on with as little interruption as if
nothing had happened; and not less ought their generosity
be approved, inasmuch that they have announced it to be
their intention that the hands (males and females) are not
to suffer from the misfortune, it being their intention to
employ them at once, and to pay their wages without de-
duction for loss of time. It is also right to add that this
liberality is not to be confined to those employed in London,
whose numbers are few compared to these in the establish-
ment in Londonderry. The same humane treatment is to be
observed towards all. Such conduct is highly considerate.
CANADIAN
MAILS.—The
-'4AN AND UNITED STATES'
Canadian mail steamer Bohemian sailed from Liver-
pool yesterday Portland with the Canadian mails. Be-
a valuable cargo.e also took out about 70 passengers and had
Stearns The Liverpool, New York, and Phila-
delphiamore sailed or, NlN'Tedte°mPany's screw steamer City of Balti-
with the United State sday from Liverpool for New York,
Inails and a valuable cargo. In ad-
dition to these she also took
out 30 cabin passengers.

THE ROYAL ACADEMY.—Mr. John Everett Mil-
lais, A.R.A., and Mr. Edward William Cooke have
been elected Royal Academicians. Mr. Millais, who is of
a Jersey family, was born at Southampton in 1829, and has
devoted himself to art from his youth. When nine years
of age he entered Mr. Saes's Academy, and at 11 began
to study at the Royal Academy, where he succeeded
in carrying off many of the principal prizes for drawing
While pursuing his studies at the Academy he took a
prominent place among the young men who became known
as the "Pre-Raphaelite School." His principal pictures
since that period are well known. In 1853 he was elected
as Associate of the Royal Academy. Mr. E. W. Cooke
was born in London in 1810. Among his best known pic-
tures are " Brighton Sands," Portsmouth Harbour,"
"Mount St. Michael," "Dutch boats b,calrned," and
"Hastings from All Saints Church." He was elected an
Associate of the Royal Academy in 1850.
THE NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION.—Lady
Cunningham Fairlie h"as presented to the National Lifeboat
Institution £3OO to defray the cost of a new lifeboat, which
She wishes to be called The Wallace. The National Insti-
tution has now 13 lifeboats on the Scotch coast. The boat
at Thurso is a gift to the society of Mr. A. W. Jaffray, of
London, and saved the crew of 15 men of the barque Graces,
of Shields, en the 12th inst. The lifeboat at Irvine, which
was also presented to the institution by Miss Pringle Kidd,
of Lassw,de Bank, near Edinburgh, saved likewise a smack's
crow in the early part of the present month.
" PROM GRAVE TO GAY—SEVERE TO LIVELY."
--The Temperance Hall at Elgin, after having been a gene-
ral public hall, a preaching room, and a dancing room, has
