THE DUKE OF GENOA.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Genoa went to
Buckingham Palace yesterday afternoon at three o'clock,
and had an audience of her Majesty. His Royal High-
ness was accompanied by his Excellency the Sardinian
Minister, and Count- Grosselio and Count Avograno,
officiers d'ordonnance. The Marquis de St. Marson and
Count De la Valle, aides-de-camp to his Royal Highness
were in attendance. The Duke was presented to the
Queen by the Earl of Clarendon, principal Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs.
Shortly after the Duke's return to his hotel, the Prince
Consort arrived from Buckingham Palace, and had an
interview with his Royal Highness. It is understood
that the Prince waited upon the Duke for the purpose
of conveying a personal invitation for his Royal Highness
to dine with her Majesty last evening at Buckingham
Palace.

The Duke walked out early yesterday morning
through some of the principal thoroughfares at the west-
end. His Royal Highness, who was accompanied by
his Excellency the Sardinian Minister, honoured the
establishment of Mr. C. F. Hancock, of Bruton-street,
with a visit, to inspect the "Ascot Royal. Hunt Cup."
At noon, his Excellency Count Walewski, Ambas-
sador of France, was honoured with an interview by his
Royal Highness.
Among the other foreign Ministers who paid their
respects to his Royal Highness were the representatives
of Turkey, Portugal, the Brazils, &c.
The Earl of Aberdeen, the earl of Clarendon, and
other members of the Administration. and a great many
members of the aristocracy, also called upon his Royal
Highness during the day.
At five o'clock his Royal Highness, accompanied by
his Excellency the Sardinian Minister, and attended by
his aides-de-camp, walked in Hyde-park, and had an
opportunity of seeing Rotten-row crowded with eques-
trians.

APPROACHING MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—A matri-
monial alliance will shortly take place between the
Lady Emily de Burgh, the beautiful and accomplished
daughter of the Marquis of Clanricarde, and Viscount
Dun„o-arvan, grandson and heir apparent of the Earl of
Cork and Orrery.
COURT oF.CHANoEnv.—It appears that the total held
on behalf of suitors in the Court of Chancery of the va-
rious petty stocks now about to be paid off or converted
is 469,0001. This amount the Lord Chancellor, by a
recent order, directed to be .3onverted into the 1101. 21
per Cent. Stock, except in instances where the parties
interested might signify an opposite desire before the
time at which the power of choice will cease. Subse-
quently, however, the fall in prices has rendered the ad-
vantage of accepting stock instead of money less certain,
and the Chancellor, therefore, now intends to postpone
his final decision until the latest period—namely, to-mor-
row, the 3d inst.
REGENT'S CANAL COMPANY.—The dividend declared
at the meeting of this company, held yesterday, was Bs.
per share, and the report was adopted. The traffic is
stated to have shown a steady increase, the amount
during the last six months having reached 639,242 ton-
nage. The receipts from tolls was 20,7431., leaving a
profit of 11,466 L, showing an improvement upon the
preceding half-year of 1,2501. After paying the pro-
posed dividend and carrying 5731. to the reserve fund, a
balance will remain of 1251.
FAILURE AT MANCHESTER.—The Manchester advices
mention the failure of Mr. B. Mirasyedi, a Greek mer•
chant, for 26,000 e,
