The Queen Dowager's-absence from the exhibition
at the National Gallery this year did not arise, as stated by the Presi.
cent, wholly from the state of her Majesty's health, but from the com.
meld.ble seclusion in which the Queen has passed the whole year of
her widowhood, affbrding an example net unworthy of imitation.

NEW SILK GOWNS.—It has been asserted in seve-
ral Newspapers that Mr. Koe, a gentleman in very extensive practice
behind the bar in the Court of Chancery, is a candidate for one of the

silk gowns her Majesty is about to bestow, but we have the be,t autho.
rity for stating that there is not the slightest truth in that report.

The Marquis of Wellesley was in treaty with Lord

A melqnchclly suicide took place at Luton, Bed-

in Northamptonshire, he was seen as early as half past five drosscd as

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Thursday evening -11
distressing accident occurred on the railway, near Musselburgh•
young man named Rintoul, belonging we believe to Edinburgb• wag
thrown from one of the carriages by a person with whom he had clu3r:
railed, and falling beneath one of the wheels, one of his thighs w3'
broken, and the other limb severely injured. He was removed to 00
of the collier's houses in the neighbourhood, where he has received the
utmost attention, but we understand he continues in a precarious stsCe.
The individual who occasioned the accident is described as an elderlf
man, apparently in good circumstances. He was immediately taken into
custody.—. Scots Times.
HOP INTELLIGENCE.—WORCESTER, AHG•
We have this week had an opportunity of conversing with a gentleman
who has made a tour through great part of this district ; and he assure/
us that the late cold weather has decided the question as to whether W
shall have hops or not. There can be but few, and the duty for the tlii‘
trict is estimated at about 6,0001. Some grounds, a short time age Wert
looking more healthy, and held out a prospect of recovery ; these,'
there be any difference in appearance, ate now looking worse than Wl'
which at that time held out no prospect whatever. In our market on
Saturday there was but little business ; but prices were from 2a. to S'•
in advance upon our last week's quotation. Weighed 50 pockets.--

TRANSFUSION OF BLOOD.—This important ope'
ration was performed with great success at Sunderland a few day' 44::
on a woman sinking from violent hemorrhage. The pulse was gone,
i
and not even by the application of a mirror to the mouth of the patie"..
could it be perceived that she breathed ; but by the injection into 141
veins of a large quantity of blood taken from those of her sister al
husband, the patient was gradually withdrawn from the very Po" °
death, and is now approaching convalescence. _ _

On Wednesday night, as police-constable -Itodnoth
47 A, was passing through Gardener's lane, King-street, Westriti
ater, he heard cries of " Murder" proceeding from the house No.
the above lane. Upon making inquiry of the i mates, he ascertained
that a man, named John Harris, who obtains his living by acting as
o 7
Jack-in. t he-Water at Whitehall.stairs, and who lived in the above h
had been found in the cellar with his throat frightfully cut. The COn_
stable proceeded to the cellar, and there descried the unfortunate feir
weltering in a pool of blood, and holding in his hand a large table Wane,

with which he had nearly severed his windpipe. Dr. M`Cann, of 1'.3

the man should be sent to Westminster Hospital, where he at presatior
lies without the slightest hope of recovery. It appears the man was,
intemperate habits, and had been confined to his room for some days
an attack of delirium tremens, and it is supposed that while suffering ue_

genders, he committed the rash act.
