Dover for the winter months ; her Ladysllip is the second
Countess of the late Earl, and sister, we believe, to Sir
Robert Chester, of Bush-hall, Herts, gaster,of the Cere-
monies at Court.

occupy Euston-hall, in Oxfordshire, the favourite residence
of the late Duke, where the establishment is broken up,
and the domain is to be let. The Noble Duke left Brighton
unexpectedly in consequence of the sudden indisposition of
the Duchess at Badminton.

ham House, Fulham, which the Marquis has taken for
temporary residence, from the Pavilion at Brighton.

sent labouring under severe indisposition at Brougham Hall
Westmorland.—Liverpool Times.
Captain Aske, known as the author of « The
Spirit of the Book," and other publications, died last week
at Bath, at an advanced age. "His whole life," says a
provincial Journal, " was one continual series of struggles
with misfortune, and he ended his days in utter destitution
and want."

ways, for Foreign Affairs, has left town on a visit to his
mother, the Dowager Countess of Ilchester, at Abbots-

POETICAL SUBJECTS. A new work has just
appeared, by Miss Stickney, entitled, " The Poetry of
Life," in which are some beautifully-written chapters on
the following subjects :—Tl.d Poetry of Love, of Grief, of
Woman, of the Bible, of Religion, Taste, Imagination,
Power, Impression, &c. The authoress has flung the
most beautiful hues over many of the commonest occur-
rences of life, and most pleasingly proved that the world
and all that therein is, contain many more elements of hap-
piness than is generally supposed.

THE AMERICAN SHIP PENNSYLVANIA.--The
line-of-battle ship Pennsylvania, now on the stocks at our
Navy-yard, under the shelter of a building that cost 45,600
dollars, is one of the most stupendous fabrics that was ever
destined to float on the ocean. Her length on deck is 225
feet, and her breadth 58 feet. She is large enough to carry
2,000 men, which is a larger number than the whole Ame-
rican army that fought and gained the battle of Chippewa,
and greater than the population of a considerable sized
country town. She is of the burden of 3,000 tons-, and
could, if laden with flour, carry the moderate cargo of
30,000 barrels, enough to supply bread for 15,000 people
for a whole year. She is to carry 140 guns, 32-pounders ;
so that every time she discharges a full broadside, she will
dispose of a ton of bullets, to help to make iron pebbles
for the bottom of the ocean, unless she happen to hit the
enemy. She will draw 28 feet of water, and thus find it
difficult to navigate in shoal rivers. One of her anchors,
which is to be seen in the yard, and which is said to be the
largest one in the world, weighs 11,6691b5., which is some-
thxng more than five tons, and will require some merry
piping at the capstern to get it apeak. Her water Ranks
are of iron, mostly in the shape of large chests, capable of '
holding- 100 to 200 gallons, but having a proportion of them
of,other- shapes, adapted to fit round the sides of the sqip,
so as to leave no space, as happens in casks,—Philadclphier
Gazette.
