peerage, occasioned by the death of Lord Dunalley;
GLASGOW.—The Earl of Glasgow has subscribed 300/,
to the Patriotic Futid.—Daily Mail.
THE EXHIBITION' AT MUNICH.—The ceremony of clos-
ing the Exhibition at Munich took place on the 18th.
We have been informed that Mr. Souls, the Minister
of the United states at Madrid, who made himself so
notorious some time ago by his quarrel with M. Turgot,
the French Minister at the same Court, was on Tuesday
lest refused permission to enter France en his way from
this country to Madrid.—Tirats.
Colonel Outrain, C. 8., formerly Resident at Baroda,
and more recently the Political Resident and Military
Commandant at Aden, has been appointed by the Gover-
nor-General of India to the office of British Representa-
tive at Lucknow.
THE SCOTCH FUSILIER GUARDS.—This regiment,
which suffered severely compared to the Grenadier and
Coldstream Guards, numbered nearly all Scotchmen.
There were scarcely more than a dozen English and
Irish amongst the slain at the Alma, in this distinguished
corps.
DEATH OF LIEUT.-GENERAL EVPART, C.B.—Viscount
Hardinge has the colonelcy of another regiment of the
line (the 07th), placed at his disposal by the demise-of the
aLove gallant and venerable officer, at his residence in
St. John's-wood, on Monday, at an advanced age.
THE LATE LORD CHEWTON.—ThO offioers of the
Guards are about to erect a cenotaph to the memory of
their departed companion in arms, the late Captain
Viscount Chewton, who died from the effects of his
wounds received at the Alma. We believe that the
monument will be placed in the military chapel at the
Bird-cage-walk, close to that of Major Fitzroy Somerset,
eldest son of Lord Raglan, who died gallantly fighting
at the Battle of Moodkee.
DEATH OF LORD FREDERICK LEVESON GOTVER.—Lord
Frederick Leveson Gower, second son of the Duke and
Duchess of Sutherland, is among the latest victims to
the severity of the Eastern campaign. His lordship died
on board H.M.S. Bellerophon, now on her voyage back
to England. This gallant young nobleman, although
suffering severely from illness previously contracted at
Varna, persisted in accompanying his comrades to the
Crimea. When the troops landed at Eupatoria, he was
so weak that it was found impossible to convey him
ashore, and his lordship was on his way home when cut
off thus prematurely.—Morning Post.

The name of the Earl of Eglinton was mentioned
yesterday as one of the noblemen nominated for the
Garter. This was a manifest typographie,al error. The
Earl of Elgin is the nobleman upon whom her Majesty
has graciously signified her intention of conferring the
Garter, vacant by the demise of the Marquis of
Anglesea.

A KNIGHT OF THE GABTER.—It is reported that
the Emperor Nicholas has called upon a high Walla-
chia.n functionary to restore the decoration bestowed
.upon him during the occupation of the Principalities by
.Russia, seeing that he has since their evacuation gone
over to the side of Austria and the Porte. Strange
that it did not occur to the Czar, when issuing this man-
date, that bjr the same rule he ought to restore the
insignia of the Garter to Queen Victoria.
ANOTHER ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—Dr. Rae, of the
Hudson's Bay Arctio Expedition, had an audience with
Sir James Graham on Tuesday, at, the A.dmirAty, on
the subject of his discovery of the probable fate of Sir
John Franklin and his companions. The interview oc-
cupied a considerable time, in the course of which, we
understand, Sir James Graham announced the intention
of the Government to send out early in the ensuing
spring an expedition, in order to make further search
for the remains spoken of by the Esquimaux, and, the
command of the expedition was offered to Dr. Rae.—
