Queen Emilita of Hawaii.

Yesterday her Majesty Queen Emma and suite
left the Bishop's Palace at Ely for Cambridge, Lord
Charles and Lady Harriet Hervey accompanying
her Majesty. The royal party started from Ely by
express train in a saloon carriage, and arrived in
Cambridge about 20 minutes after 9 o'clock. It
comprised her Majesty Queen Emma, Lady Frank-
lin, Lord and Lady Hervey, Miss Cracroft, the
Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Hoapili, and the Rev. Mr. Cutts.
From the Cambridge Railway Station, where a
great crowd was in waiting, the royal party drove
at once to Mr. Vice-Chancellor's Lodge at St. Peter's
College (the Rev. Dr. Cookson's), for breakfast.

A tour of visits was then made to the various ob-
jects of interest which abound in Cambridge. The
first place visited was the Fitzwilliam Museum,
when the party proceeded to several of the colleges
and halls, and afterwards attended Divine service in
King's College Chapel.

THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES.—We
believe there is now no doubt that the Prince and Princess
of Wales will visit Dunrobin on or about the 28th of this
month.—lnverness Courier.

His Serene Highness Prince George of Solms has
left Lord Lovat's seat in the north of Scotland, to be pre-
sent at the northern meeting, Inverness.

THE EARL OF DERBY.—HiS Lordship was to have
dined with the Mayor of Liverpool on Monday next,
but yesterday his worship received a letter from the Coun-
tess of Derby stating that his lordship was suffering from
a severe attack of gout, and would not be able to keep the
engagement. The rumour that his Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales is to visit Knowsley on his return from
Scotland is again revived.

The Marquis of Hastings has recently returned
home to Donnington Park, Leicestershire, from a yachting
excursion on the coast of Norway. His lordship left Eng-
land in July last, accompanied by a select party of friends,
including her ladyship's brothers, Lord Alexander Paget
and Lord Berkeley Paget, and sevet al other friends. The
Ladybird, in which his lordship sailed, was built expressly
for the occasion, at (it is said) a cost of £B,OOO. It is a
fine specimen of yacht craft, and is a perfect model of its
kind. Its bin-then is 260 tons. Altogether there were 30
persons on board. The party went out intending to enjoy
some piscatorial sport on the coast of Norway, diversified
by deer shooting in the country.
The Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury and Ladies
Ashley are shortly expected to arrive in town from the
Continent.

The Earl Granville entertained the Earl de Grey,
the Earl of Clarendon, and a select party at dinner last
evening at his residence in Bruton-street.
The Earl de Grey leaves town to-day on his re-
turn to Studley Park, his seat, near Ripon.
Viscount Palmerston is daily regaining his
strength from his recent attack of gout.
Viscountess Jocelyn and Hon. Miss Jocelyn are
expected to arrive in town next week from visiting the
Lakes of Killarney.

Lord Stanley, M.P., who came to town early in
the week from Knowsley, has loft St. James's-square on a
Continental tour. It is not his lordship's intention to
return home till the end of January, that is to say, just
before the meeting of Parliament.
The Right lion. B. Disraeli and Mrs. Disraeli
have left Hughenden Manor for Ashridgo Castle, on a
visit to Earl Brownlow and Lady Marian Alford.

BYRON AND PALMERSTON AT HARROW.—Captain
Gronow of the Guards, whose amusing reminis-
cences of his own family formed a very popular book just
at the time when Palmerston, in his hale and hearty octo-
genarianism, was so admirably maintaining the neutrality
of England amid the shoals and quicksands of the American
civil war, records that, at Harrow, " Byron hated Palmer-
ston, but liked Peel." And the chatty captain innocently
adds in the immediate context a further sentence which
entirely denudes Byron's " hatred" of Palmerston of the
slightest disparaging weight. He adds—" Byron thought
that the whole world ought to be constantly engaged in
admiring his poetry and himself." This naive phrase
hits off Byron to a nicety. The world, which has now-
adays much more unaffected reality and earnestness of
character, though much less spasm and dramatic self-
consciousness that it had in Byron's time, is pretty well
convinced of the arrant intellectual foppishness of that
illustrious poet of the second rank. We are glad that
Byron is recorded to have hate]. young Temple 14
Harrow. The " hatred," indeed, may have arisen
from the relative positions of the two young peers'
Palmerston was Byron's senior by six years; and in a
public school, in which fagging prevailed in an unmiti-
gated form, the occasion of the " hatred" can be
easily imagined. But, setting that aside, Byron and
Palmerston (that is to say, if the boy Palmerston bore
any resemblance to the man Palmerston, as we have
known him) were precisely the men not to understand and
appreciate each other. One essential feature of Palmer-
ston's character aid throughout has been an absolute and
incredulous scepticism of, and disgust at, any form of self-
conscious conceit. He could not understand a person who
was for ever fancying himself a ridiculous Corsair or Childe
Harold, who affected amours that did not exist, that he
might be thought a desperate Lovelace ; and, above all,
who put his head in curl-papers to make it Antinous like,
who could not bear to see a hungry lady eat a mutton-
chop, and who himself dined on ship-biscuit and soda-
water, that he might ward off the dreaded vulgarisra of
obesity.—JPGilchrist's Life of Palmerston.
NARROW ESCAPE OF A YOUNG LADY Flt°3l
DROWNING.—On Saturday last Miss Harvey, the
daughter of Mr. Harvey, M.P., and Lady Henrietta Harvey'
with her cousin, Miss Long, daughter of the Rev. gen",
.
Long, of Newton, were bathing with several mernhej"
of the family at Lowestoft. The sea was rough ; the
tide, which was strong running out, quickly carried the
two ladies further than they intended, when a large vial
raised Miss Long, who could not swim, off her feet, a°
she was swept out by the current. Miss Harvey, 011°A
was standing some yards off, could swim, and proceeded,-
to her cousin's assistance. She had the presence of Wien
to give her cousin her hand to buoy her ,tri;
at the same time calling loudly for assistance to
bathing-machine man. Mrs. A. Johnstone, of The err°l.es
Yoxford, who also swims, was bathing, and hearing gto
Harvey's cries for help, called to the bathing man on t
shore, who himself was unable to give the requisite assist
ance. Miss Long, as soon as she found herself in del
water, fainted, but Miss Harvey, who had seized her hand,,
did not lose her presence of mind, but retained her hol

The cries for assistance by Mrs. Johnstone attracted the
attention of Sir Henry Pottinger, Captain Finch, who w 0

is surprising. No man connected with the maul l'eo life
