LEAVE OF ABSENCE TO SEE TILE
An order has been issued by the General commanding the
Forces in Ireland to the different general officers command-
ing divisions, to allow one.-third of the officers of the
several regiments under their command leave of absence,
for the purpose of visiting the International Exhibition—
the leave not to exceed one month.— United Service
Gazette.

LONDON RIFLE BRlGADE.—Lieutenant-Colonel
Warde, the newly-aprointed commander, has issued a
brigade order, with reference to the field-day at Brighton,
stating that the general of division had expressed his warm
approval of the manner in which the brigade executed all
the manoeuvres on that occasion. The colonel also records
his extreme satisfaction with the conduct of all ranks
throughout the day, and concludes by declaring that he is
proud to command the regiment.
THE CORNISH FISHERIES.—The boats employed
in the mackerel fishery at St. Ives have been very success-
ful, particularly those from the eastward, aad the price has
been high. One daylast week upwards of 100,000 fish were
landed, price 21s per 100 ; on another day 80,000 were
caught, and sold at 22s per 100. Subsequently 75,000 were
caught, and three boats took 5,000 each, price 20s per 100.
So many mackerel landed in one week have scarcely ever
been recollected by the oldest inhabitant.
CAPTURE OF A STURGEON IN THE MEDWAY.—
On Saturday last a fisherman, named Jenkins, while fishing
in the river Medway, a short distance above Rochester-
bridge, succeeded in capturing a remarkably fine sturgeon,
which on being brought to land was found to measure six
feet in length, 29 inches in girth. and to weigh 721bs. By
the ancient charters of the city, all sturgeons and certain
other fish caught in the Medway are the prop-rty of the
mayor and corporaticn of Rochester. The fish was accord-
ingly presented to the mayor, who immediately forwarded
it by the principal water-bailiff as a present to her Majesty,
the sturgeon being, what is termed, a royal fish.

A paragraph has gone the round of the papers
pretending to show the difference between the civil lists of
the Queen and her predecessors, in which it is stated that
William and Mary received £700,000, George H. £300,000,
and George 111. £4000,000 annually, while William IV.
had half a million, and the Queen has but £385,000. The
difference in all these figures is more apparent than real.
The civil list of George M. was charged with the salaries
of ambassadors and all the judges. In the reign of George
IV. these charges were separated from the personal income
of the Sovereign. William IV. had the same allowance as
the Queen, but with the addition of £50,000 a-year added
for Queen Adelaide. The £30,000 a-year voted for the
Prince Consort does not appear in the sum set down for
the Queen. Where her Majesty really suffers in compa-
rison with her predecessors is in the loss of the private
revenue of the Sovereign from the kingdom of Hanover.
How much this amounted to was always kept a State
secret, but there is to doubt it was something vary consi-
derable. It has been estimated at above £lOO,OOO a-year.

ETON COLLEGE.—The old adage, "There is many
a slip between the cup and the lip," was never more truly
verified than on Tuesday, in the appropriation of the
vacant rectory of Worplesden, near Guildford, in Surrey,
which had become vacant through the death of the Rev.
Charles Luxmoro. It was generally understood that the
College Chapter was to be held, merelyproforrna, to confirm
the appointment of the Rev. Edward Coleridge, one of the
Fellows, to the rectory, and that gentleman had considered
he had sufficient reason to justify him in already making
arrangements with the widow of the late rector for the
purchase of the parsonage property belonging to her late
husband, when, at the eleventh hour, the Rev. George John
Dupuis threw up the living he previously held of Maple
Durham, near Reading, of the value of about £l,OOO per
annum, and claimed the preferment to Worplesden rectory,
of the value of about L 1,200 per annum, as being the senior
Fellow to the Rev. E. Coleridge. Consequently the latter
gentleman takes the living of Maple Durham, instead of, as
he had reason to calculate upon, the rectory of Worplesden-
IMPORTANT TO PRINTERS.—On Thursday, the
Ist inst., at the Nottingham Police C3urt, Wm.
Burnett,
a machine and pressman, was charged before the sitting
magistrate with having left his situation without giving the
fortnight's notice customary to the trade. It appeared that
the defendant, who is "a society" man, had been in the
employ of Messrs. Sutton Brothers for some time past, and
on the 26th of April he left, having only given notice of
his intention to do so late on the Saturday night previous.
Defendant stated that no contract was made when he en_
tered Messrs. Sutton's employ-
Mr. A. Sutton said that
when he engaged a man it was understood that a fortnight's
notice was to be given on either side. Had he wished to
discharge the defendant he should not have done it without
t between

a fortnight's notice. That was the regular

them in recommending Mr. Sution and the defendant to
settle the matter by arbitration. Mr. Sutton said his only
object in bringing the case forward was to maintain the
rules of the trade, or else he might be subjected to much
inconvenience. Ultimately the case was settled by the de-
fendant paying £3, a fortnight's wages, to Mr. Sutton, and
4s. 6d. the court expenses. Mr. Sutton returned the £3 to
the defendant,
