Lord and Lady Stanley of Alderley and family
come to town early next week from Alderley Park,
Cheshire.

His Excellency Mons. and Madame Fontana
have arrived at the Brunswick Hotel, Jermyn-street, from

Paris.

Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Bancroft Davis have arrived
at the Clarendon Hotel from New York.

Yesterday was solemnised at St. George's, Hano-
ver-square. the marriage of Lieutenant -colonel the Hon
Sornerset G. Calthorpe with Mrs. Frederick Crewe.

Hard weather still prevails outside Dublin Bar.
Many of the craft lying in Kingstown harbour through
stress of weather sailed for their destination, but yesterday
the wind, having increased from the southward, obliged
some to bear up again for refuge. About the Tuskar it is
said the waves are frightful to behold, literally rolling
mountains high. The steamship Arbutus, from Glasgow
for Bordeaux, put into harbour yesterday with loss of star-
board bulwarks, which were carried away in a hard gale
beyond the Tuskar. The general chaiacter of the weather
is most. unpropitious. The storm signal, a cone point
downwards, was hoisted yesterday at Kingstown for strong
southerly gales. The weather very slightly calmed towards
nightfall.

The steamship Rokeby, of Dublin, Captain Car
negie, which artived at Waterford on Sunday morning
from Cadiz, fell in with the barque Mermaid, of Liverpool,
on Saturday, the 25th inst., about 70 miles west by south
of Milford, in a sinking and disabled state, took her in tow,
and brought her to Milford, where she left her in safety on
Sunday evening. Previous to the Rokeby coming up with
the Mermaid the captain and crew of the latter vessel had
been taken en board an American ship, together with all
the stores, but en seeing the Rokeby bearing down for the
barque they went on board again. The American, how-
ever, refused to give up the stores which had been put on
board.

SALE OF SADLER'S WELLS TllEATRE.—Yester-
day this place of public amusement was put up to public
competition at the Mart, by Mr. Beadel. The sale attracted
a numerous attendance of speculators and theatrical cele-
brities. From the statement made by Mr. Beadel, it ap-
peared that the theatre is held for a period of 50 years from
Midsummer next, at a ground-rent of £277 per annum, the
use of the property being granted to Mr. Samuel Phelps,
for a term of seven years from Lady-day, 1860, at a rental
of £l,OOO per annum, the proprietor of the lease paying all
outgoings, and reserving the right to two private boxes
and other free-list privileges. The first offer was £2,000,
the biddings gradually rising to £2,970, at which Nice the
hammer fell.

AN " INFANT" IN CRINOLINE.—A somewhat
singular case came before the Southwark County Court on
Friday last. The plaintiff, Mr. Hopkins, a tradesman in
Kent-street, sued the defendant, Miss Wilson, a showily-
dressed young woman, to recover compensation for damages
to his shop front in Kent-street. It appeared that plaintiff
was having his shop front cleaned, and a ladder was placed
II outside for that purpose, the upper end resting against the
window frame, when the defendant came past, wearing a
capacious crinoline, one of the hoops of which caught the
ladder, knocked it down, and smashed windows to the value
of £1 9s. The defendant said she was only an infant, and
that her pa should have been summoned, not her. In
answer to questions put by his Honour, she admitted she
was 19 years of age. His Honour decided that she was
liable, and ordered her to pay the amount claimed. The
complainant applied for costs. His Honour—No, not in
this case; I think the crinoline will entail quite enough
punishment on its wearer. On hearing this defendant
flounced old of court, declaring she would never pay—her
pa must.
