who returned to Grosvenor-crescent on Tuesday night

Queen, where his lordship introduced Baron Esersdoff,
formerly Minister at our Court from that of Saxony, on
a special mission. The noble earl and the Duke of
Newcastle, Minister of War, attended at Buckingham
Palace yesterday, at the Privy Council which took place
soon atter the arrival of her Majesty and Prince Albert
from the Isle of Wight at half-past five p.m. The Duke

from the seat of war, still remains in town.
Mn. WILSON PATTICN, M.P.—This gentleman, while
performing his duties as colonel of the 3d Regiment of
Lancashire Militia in Preston, was seized on Saturday
last with a serious illness. We are glad to learn that
the honourable gentleman has recovered from his attack,
but it is not probable that he wi!t resume for some days
his duties in connection with the militia.—Preston
Chronicle.

THE ENGLISH PRISONERS AT TELSCHEN.—Letters from
Te'schen, of the 6th, in the Konigsberg Gazette, state
that the four Englishmen arrested and detained by the
Russians, for apparently no other offence than tres-
passing on their soil, are still kept there. Madame de
Victinghoff and Mdlle. Lich, the professional ei-iprs,
are notAallowed to leave, but, like cage-birds, are per-
mitted to sing, and are giving concerts.
PARKS IN LONDON.—Since the year 1830, four new
parks have either been formed, or are in the course of
formation, throughout the metropolitan districts. Prim-
rose-hill, containing 60 acres, was completed in 1842 ;
Kennington Park, containing 18 acres, is now enclosed,
laid out, and nearly finished ; Victoria Park, contain-
ing no less than 265 acres, was completed in 1849 ; and
Battersea Park, containing 319 acres, is now in the
course of formation. The sums expended upon these
various places of resort amount, in the aggregate, in
round numbers, to 380,0001.

ITALIAN OPERAS IN DUBLIN.—The first of a series of
Italian operas was performed on Monday night in the
Theatre Royal. The company embraces the following
distinguished artistes, viz. :—Ardlles. Sophia Cruvelli
Marai, and Albini ; Madame Albini ; and Tarnburlik,
'
Tagliafico, Fortini, Polonini, Luchesi, &c. The opera
produced was Norma. The house was well filled with
a brilliant audience, and the speculation promises to be a
highly successful one.
BOAT SWAMPED.— FIVE MEN DROWNED.-13y information from Thurso, we are sorry to learn that a boat's crew, consisting of four persons and a passenger, were,
on Monday, drowned off Holburn Head. It appears
that a crew of four men purchased a small winter-fishing-
boat in Wick, last week, in which they sailed for Stor-
noway, and on their way homewards they had called at
Scrabster, and there remained over Sabbath. On Mon-
day forenoon they again started, taking along with
them
a passenger, another hired man, who had lost his pas-
sage..o by the Chevalier in the morning. When off J=l. I
burn, in company with another boat, a sudden squall
overtook them, while the sheet was apparently fastened,
and the boat immediately filled and went down,
hands perished. The other crew were newly submerged,
and were unable to render any assistance.

turned to Thurso with the sad tidings of the and all
