;The Queen's Visit to Germany.

DARMSTADT, Aug. 11.
Her Majesty Queen Victoria, with the Royal
family and suite, left here at a quarter to eleven
this evening by special train for Coburg.
The Queen, who particularly desired to observe
the strictest incognito, has travelled during the night
and spent the day in seclusion with her family at
Kranichstein. Her Majesty, however, received a
visit yesterday morning from their Highnesses the
Prince and Princess Carl, Prince William, and
his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-
Schwerin. Her Royal Highness Princess Helena
returned this visit at the Rosenhohe yesterday after-
noon. Queen Victoria will, it is said, pay a visit to
the Grand Ducal Palace 'on her return from
Coburg.

Their Highnesses Prince and Princess Louis of
Hesse and their Highnesses' daughter, are in Swit-
zerland, but will meet Queen Victoria at Coburg in
order to be present at the inauguration of the me-
morial to the late Prince Albert. They will accom-
pany her Majesty back to Scotland.
COBURG, Aug. 12. -
Queen Victoria arrived at Rosenau yesterday
morning, and was received at the railway by Prince
Alfred and the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
Her Majesty's stay at Rosenau will, it is ex-
pected, be prolonged until the commencement of
September.

According to present arrangements the ceremony
of unveiling the memorial to the late Prince Albert
will take place on the 26th inst., at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. The monument is near completion, the
statue having been cast at Nurnberg (Lenz Herold),
and the base and pedestal at Weissenstadt, in
Bavaria. The tower of the Coburg Town-ball,
was burnt down on the 2d of May last, bas been
rebuilt of a more handsome shape, in the square
where the memorial will be erected.

DEATH OF JOSEPH TUSSAUD, ESQ.-It is With
doep regret .we announce the death of Joseph Tussaud,
Esq., which took place at his residence, Baker-street, Port-
man-square, on the 15th inst. The deceased gentleman
was in his 69th year, and was the eldest son of the late
Madame Tussaud. The loss of one so estimable as the late
Mr. Tussaud will be long felt by a large circle of friends
and acquaintances, by whom he was sincerely and de-
servedly beloved.
EXHIBITION OF ARTS AND MANUFACTURES-
AGRICULTURAL HALL.--The •preparations for the opening
are now proceeding with great vigour. The Lord Chan-
cellor will take the chair, supported by many of the nobility
and distinguished artistes and manufacturers of the day.
A rehearsal of the music to be sung on the occasion took
place on Monday night, under the direction of Mr. G. W.
Martin. The choir of the National Choral Society, num-
bering one thousand voices, have been engaged for the
occasion.

The Lord Lieutenant, observes the Dublin
Evening Mail, conferred the honour of knighthood last
Monday, at the Viceregal Lodge, on Mr. John Howley,
Q.C., the Queen's First Sergeant in Ireland, in recognition
of his efficient and valuable services as Chairman of the
County of Tipperary. No honour could be better deserved.
Sir John Howley was 50 years at the Irish bar, and spent
no less than 30 of these in judicial employment.
RESTORATION OE SALISBURY CATHEDRAL.—A
meeting of the Restoration Committee was held at
the Deanery on Saturday, to consider the plans presented
by the architect, Mr. Gilbert Scott, in concert with Mr.
Shields, the civil engineer, for securing the stability of the
main piers in the nave, and of the lantern story of the
tower. The plans were unanimously approved, and will
be carried into execution without delay. It was resolved
to proceed gradually with the restoration of the west
front. As regards the works now in progress, it was re-
ported that the masonry is nearly completed, that the
marble work is in a very forward state, and that, if the
weather be favourabie, the whole of the works already
contracted :for will be completed by the end of the year.
Meanwhile, the subscriptions come in but slowly. Re-
cently, however, the High Sheriff of Wilts (Mr. Poynder)
set a good example by subscribing 300 guineas.
LIBERALISIL IN WEST KENT.—An influential
meeting of the Liberal electors of West Kent has
been held at the Bridge-house Hotel, Southwark, to take
into consideration the circumstances attending the last
election, when the Conservatives returned Lord Holmes-
dale and Mr. Dyke by a. small majority over the Liberal
candidates, Sir John Lubbock and Mr. Angerstein. Tho
meeting was convened by circular, and the chair was occu-
pied by Mr. Whatman, M.P. for Maidstone. Amongst
those present from various districts of the county were
Mr. C. W. Martin, M.P., Mr. Lee, M.P., Sir W. Yardley,
the Hon. Mr. Molyneux, and Mr. Goldsmid (Tunbridge),
Messrs. Ellis, Arckoll, and Cutbush. (Maidstone), Mathews
(Gravesend), Fooks (Dartford), Norman (Bromley), Jolly,
Farnfield, and Armstrong (Woolwich), Bass (Greenwich),
Atkins and Shove (Lewisham), &c. From various ad-
dresses it appeared that the Liberal defeat was owing to
exceptional circumstances in one or two districts, and a
more complete organisation was now resolved on, an
influential committee being appointed to promote that
object.
GENEROSITY OF FEELING.—On Saturday morning
last, about 10 o'clock, as Mr. Peter Burrell, of No.
10, Fonchurch-buildings, solicitor, was crossing fromShoe-
lane to Farringdon-road, the driver of a Hansom cab being
behind Mr. Burrell, loosened the reins, and, in attempting
to pass him, knocked him down, the wheel going over both
his thighs, and then backing the cab over half of Mr.
Burrell's right foot. Mr. Burrell was supported in the
arms of two policemen until another Hansom was fetched
—the fare, with a generosity of feeling tho practice of
which we hope is confined to himself, refusing to give up
his cab to take Mr. Burrell home, although urged by the
police to do so.—Express.

themselves of the accommodation, and the number of wind
thus deposited does not yet reach that of a hundred. A
will once deposited cannot be removed. This regulation
occasions some annoyance to a very eminent member of
the bar, who, some time since, deposited one will and sub-
sequently another; he now wishes to have tho first ono

strange devices to which people often resort for the secre-
tion of their wills, and the odd places in which these do-
cuments are lost and mislaid, it would be well, perhaps, if
Doctors'-commons was more often used as a depository.

QUEEN EMMA.—The Dowager Queen of the
Sandwich Islands yesterday paid a visit to the village of
Streatley, in Berkshire, and attended a consecration ser-

vice at the parish church, which has been recently restored
and enlarged. The Bishop of Oxford was present, and
delivered an impressive and eloquent sermon. At the con-
_ _

elusion of the service there was luncheon at the residence
of the incumbent, and soon after three o'clock the Queen
and suite, accompanied by the Bishop of Oxford, took their
departure by the Great Western Railway for London.

BRUTAL MANSLAUGHTER IN THE ClTY.—Last
evening Mr. W. J. Payne, deputy coroner for the
City of London, held an inquiry at Guy's Hospital respect-
ing the death from brutal v:olonce of Wm. Samuel Cowper,
aged forty-three years. James Bissendine said that on
Friday last he was in Pudding-lane, when he saw
Sweeney having hold of the deceased's hands, who

struggled and succeeded in breaking away,

He ran

and got behind a post. Sweeney followed: and seizing
him by the cravat forced him along the road. He then

seized him by the trousers and the cravat, and lifting

him bodily off the ground throw aim on his head on the
pavement. The back of the head struck upon the stones
with great force. He was covered with blood, and fell
senseless and apparently dead. While he lay on the ground
the accused stood over him, saying " I will be the death of

you." The injuries were inflicted deliberately; there was
no joking about the affair. The accused had been the
terror of the street for the last 14 months, and he was a

very ferocious character. Mr. Henry Cooley, surgeon, said
that deceased died the day after his admission to the hospi-
tal from fracture of the back of the skull and effusion of

blood on the brain, caused by a fall such as that described

by the witnesses, The jury returned a verdict of man•
