THE COURT.—At Windsor Castle preparations
are being made for the reception of her Majesty the
Queen and the various members of the royal family on
their return from Balmoral, which is expected to take place
at the close of this oz beginning of next month. In the
course of the week Col. Sir T. M. Biddulph, the Master of
the Royal Household, has paid a visit to the Castle. The
alterations in the Vandyck and billiard rooms in the west
front of the palace are nearly completed, the ceiling of the
former having been recoloured in dead white, and the orna-
mental portions regilt by the Messrs. Cooper, of Windsor.
The Vandyck-room (formerly the ball-room) usually con-
tain the superb collection of pictures which gives it the
name by which it is known. During the preparation and
papering of the walls previous to covering them with
coloured satin, these pictures, principally portraits of
Charles 1., Queen Henrietta, and family, have been cleaned
by Mr. Seguier, in the robing-room at the castle, and as
soon as the Vandyck-room, which is one cf the State apart-
ments shown to the public, is finished, they will be re-
placed in their usual positions.
UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH.—Sir G. Grey has
appointed Mr. David Masson, of University College,
London, to the chair of Rhetoric and English Literature in
Edinburgh University, vacant by the death of Professor
Aytoun.

EXTRAORDINARY WEDDING. —At St. John's
Church, Pembroke Dock, on the 4th inst., were joined to-
gether in the bonds of matrimony a couple whose united
ages reached no less than 164 years. The bride was Mrs.
Elizabeth Powell, aged 84, who had been married four
times before, and the bridegroom was Mr. T. Wade, who
is, we believe, only four years younger than his wife. Tho
Rev. Dr. Kelley officiated, and the interesting event passed
off in a most satisfactory inanner.—Cambria Daily Leader.
MURDER AT GREAT YAR3IOUTH.—Last night,
about 10 o'clock, a foreigner, named 'Tinsman, a cook on
board the Dutch galliot Secundus, lying in harbour, de-
livering wheat, was murdered by a comrade named Eren-
shussen, at the City of London, a house of low repute.
Erenshusson was desired by the captain to go on board ;
he refused. Hinsman advised him to go, when he drew
his knife, the blade of which was six inches long, and
buried it in his heart. Death was instantaneous. The vic-
tim and murderer were both young.
EXPORT OF COAL.—Return of the quantity of
coal exported from the port of Great Grimsby during
the month of September, 1865 :—To Hanseatic towns, 994
tons; Denmark, 2,274 ; Norway, 1,561; Sweden, 406 ;
Russia, 4,055; Prussia, 3,423; France, 4,682 ; Italy (Sicily),
286 ; ditto (Sardinian territories), 224 ; Spain, 543 ; Argen-
tine Confederation, 196; Brazil, 432; Egypt, 351—total
foreign, 19,400 tons; coastwise, I,o9o—total, 20,490 tons.
Corresponding week, 1864, foreign, 13,324 tons ; ditto,
coastwise, 1,236—total, 14,560 tons. Increase this year,
5,930 tons.

REPRESENTATION OF BRECON. Mr. Howell
Gwyn, of Duffryn, near Heath, has issued his address to
the electors of this borough. He declares himself an in-
dependent Conservative, strongly attached to the Esta-
blished Church, but at the same time willing to relieve
Dissenters from the payment of church rates. He is op-
posed to the income tax, except as an additional measure
in time of war, to provide for the exigencies of the country.
Mr. Gwyn sat for Penryn for several years, and he un-
successfully contested Barnstaple at the last general elec-
tion. The other candidate Is the Earl of Brecknock, son
of the Marquis Camden, who comes forward on moderate
Liberal principles.
THE FATAL ACCIDENT TO A VOLUNTEER IN-
STRUCTOR.—The Volunteers of the metropolitan
regiments have been invited to attend the public funeral of
Sergeant Dranfield, of the Royal Engineers, the instructorhso

nCn'ounttof
tion of a pier near the middle of the Forth has been con-
tracted for, the price being about £17,000. The pier, which
is expected to be finished by May next, is upon a very largo
scale, and the foundation will he no less than forty-five feet
below the surface. In the lower portion of the works,
green beech instead of iron is to be used. The durability of
green beech, when constantly immersed in water, is proved
by the discovery of Mr. Edwyn Clarke that such wood in
the Thames exists in a condition of the most perfect sound-
ness for an ascertained period of at least 600 years—a dis-
covery of no small importance to the owners of beech plan-
tations. The formation of the pier is proceeding in the
harbour of Burntisland, from which at the proper time it
will be floated to its position and sunk.
