His Majesty the King of the Belgians' visit to their
Majesties at Windsor was very brief, in consequence of his de-
sire to rejoin the Queen at Ostend, whence they return to the
Palace at Lacken, where great improvements have been made
under the superintendence of his conservator from Claremont.
Their Majesties are very fond of the study of botany, to which
the King and the late Princess Charlotte, when at Claremont,
used to devote a considerable portion of time. Such is the
fondness of King Leopold for flowers that he gave strict orders
that, in the event of any of the true exotics which came into
flower in the night, presenting a fine specimen, it should be
sent up to the house without regard to the hour at which it
might make its appearance.

The Marquis of Anglesey and Lord Clarence Pagel
arrived at the Burlington Hotel on Thursday, from Beau
Desert, Staffordshire, on their way to join the Marchioness
and the Ladies Paget at Baden. His Lordship, we regret to
say, suffers from indisposition, arising, it is said, from tic dou-
leoureux. The Marquis also suffers from a blow which he re-
cently received on the shin while getting on board the Belle-
rophon man-of-war, to pay a visit to his brother, the Hon.
Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Paget.
The repairs at the Marquis of Salisbury's seat, at
Hatfield, are still in progress. The Marquis and Marchione.z

passing the autumn at Dover.

the baths of Baden, have left the Burlington Hotel, for their
seat, Abbeyleix, in the Queen's County.
Great expectation is excited in the reading world by
the announcement of Washington Irving's new work " Astoria,"
the scene of which is said to lie beyond the rocky mountains of
North America. No living writer has penetrated the heart of
Romance with such success as the celebrated author of " The
Sketch Book," whose felicitous choice of subjects is equalled
only by the grace and exquisite finish of his style of narration.
The Droitwich Salt Water Baths seem to attract
public attention, and to have become a fashionable resort.
Among the company at present visiting the springs are the
Bishop of London and family, Alderman Bridges and family,
Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin, Bart, &c. &c.

Considerable progress has been made towards erect-
ing the cupola in the centre of the National Gallery, which
when complete will give a handsome finish to the whole of the
building. A curious scaffolding has been raised round the
cupola, which attracts much attention, as it is ingeniously con-
trived for the purpose intended. _ _

On Thursday morning last, a barn containing about
six loads of wheat in the sheaf, at Little Borzell, in the parish
of Ticehurst, in the occupation of Daniel Austen, was disco-
vered to be on fire, and, together with its contents and a stable
and two lodges, was totally consumed. The corn was fortu-
nately insured. The cause of the fire remains undiscovered.
The Hull Advertiser mentions, in favourable terms,
an intended railway to unite their port with this town, and
which they consider will open out to Hull the whole of the
export trade from the midland counties, Birmingham, Wolver-
hampton, and the Potteries, of a large portion of which Hull
has hitherto been deprived, by the absence of internal commu-
nication. Now whatever benefit this intended railway will be
to Hull, it must, to as great an extent, be beneficial to this
town and county, by opening to our manufacturers and agri-
culturists new means of communication and markets.—Not_
