derson with these flowers, and presents an extraordinarily
gorgeous appearance. The band of the 2nd Life Guards

ACCIDENT TO THE DUCHESS OF BUCCLEUCH.—We
regret to learn that on Monday last her Grace the
Duchess of Buccleuch met with an accident of a somewhat
serious nature. Her grace was visiting the chapel within
the grounds at Dalkeith Palace for the purpose of seeing
the Easter decorations, when, on turning round, one of her
feet slipped, causing her to fall on the corner of a pew
such force as to fracture one of her ribs. Dr. Grallars'
Dalkeith, the medical attendant of the establishment, was
immediately called to her aid ; and information was also
forwarded to Dr. M'Laren, Lasswade, the medical atten-
dant of the family. Both gentlemen were speedily
attendance, and we are glad at now being able to state
that her grace is now rapidly recovering. The Duke ()f
,
Buccleuch was at the time of the accident at Bowhill, and
was immediately summoned to Dalkeith.—EdirtburP
Courant.

A SUN PHOTOGRAPH.—We observe that, in the
Civil Service Gazette of Saturday, our contemporari
thus graciously compliments us upon the merits of our WO
photographic portraiture A double curiosity in the NOY
of photography has just been presented to the public by an
evening contempbrary—to wit, a portrait of The Sun, by
the sun. The artist has done his subject ample justice,
placed his sitter in the most favourable position, and taken
his portrait from the most advantageous point of view.'
Photographs are seldom flattering likenesses, but, in thiA°
instance, the sun has brought out all the lineaments and
attractions of his literary namesake with wonderful fidelity
and beauty."

MR. HOLMAN HUNT'S EXHIBITION of his pictureB,
Hanover-street, will re-open next week with a new 'weri
entitled " The Children's Holiday," a portrait picture, the
figures being life-sized. In addition the gallery will Nu:
Min several works before known to the public; amongst
these we may name " The Light of the World," a The
Awakening Conscience," " The After-Glow in Egypt"
" London-bridge on the Night of the Marriage of the
Prince of Wales."

THE LAST NEW PARIS CAFE, opened a week or 80
since, in the Boulevard des Capucin.es, is on a very
large scale, and resplendent in Cupids, Graces, bird%
flowers, foliage, gilding, glass, and upholstery ; the crown'
ing glory of the place is its ceilings, painted by three de"
servedly popular artists. The first salon is a fine oval room
—its ceiling is painted by M. Gustave Boulanger. In the
next division of the establishment M. Emile Levy has re'
presented a Spaniard, a Turk, a Chinaman, a Highlander,
with an English Mees of 20 years ago, with long curls, be-
neath a little flat hat of to-day, and a few other Bores;
kneeling on clouds around a phantom in sea-green, whit
composition he entitles, " The Nations rendering Bomag;
to the City of Paris." Lastly, M. Delaunay has decoratea
the third division of the ceiling with an allegory of Cosr
merce, Agriculture, Industry, and the Fine Arts.
THE LATE CITY BURGLARIES.-0/1 Saturday Dl'
spector Potter of the -G division, preparatory t°
giving up the property that belonged to the prisoners uoii-
victed of the jewel robberies at the recent sessions at the
Central Criminal Court, went to the residence of Brewer;
ton, 142, Whitechapel-road, and instituted a fresh search of
the premises. The inspectoi took down the whole of the
pictures, and having examined them, found that the beelc

Examining it very closely, he found a piece of paper
gummed on to it, and on pulling it off he found that it coo'
tained no less than eight brilliants, of the value of aboilt
£lOO, as well as the gold work of a pin. The whole of this
property belongs to Mr. Walker, and makes about £2lOOO
worth of property that has been recovered.
