Prince George of Cambridge, and Prince Earnest of
Philippsthal, arrived in town on Monday, from Brighton,
and in the evening visited Drury-lane Theatre, accompa-
,nied by Lord Elphinstone, Colonel Jones, and the Rev.

St. James's at half-past four o'clock, yesterday afternoon,
accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Wood, on a visit to Earl
Brownlow, at his seat, Belton House, Lincolnshire.
Two framed proofs of the King, in his robes, engraved
by C. Turner A.R.A., after Sir Martin Shee's picture,
were submitted to their Majesties on Monday at the Pa-
vilion Mr.
at Brighton, by Graves, of the house of Colna6rhi
and Co. The Queen, who on a former occasion had
given her unqualified approval of the print, both for , its
execution and the likeness, was also pleased to approve of
the frame invented for the engraving, which throws all the
light on the portrait.

The Earl and Countess of Harrington have been
seriously alarmed at the indispoSition of their son, Viscount
Petersham, now in the sixth year of his age. Within these
few days, however, his health has much improved.
Lady H. W. Wynn, whose lamented demise we
announced last week, was in the 50th year of her age ; she
was married to Sir Watkin Williams Wynn in 1817, and
has left two sons and one daughter to mourn her loss. Sir
•Watkin himself has been a sad invalid for a long time, and
he was obliged to be carried into the chamber of his dying
wife to take his farewell of her—for ever. As soon as her
Royal Highness the Princess Victoria heard of the death
Of this estimable lady, she wrote a letter of kind and affec-
tionate condolence to her Ladyship's sister, the Duchess of
Northumberland.

DEATH OF SIR ROBERT DUNDAS.—We regret
to announce the death of Sir Robert -Dundas, Bart., of
Beachwood, who expired on Monday last at his house in
Heriot-row. Sir Robert's illness must have been short, as
he was out on Saturday ; be was in the.7sth year of his
age.—Edinburgh Advertiser.
We understand that the necessary arrangements,
previously to the appointment of a Lord Chancellor, are
now in the way of being completed, and that the appoint-
ment will very shortly be announced.

there are nearly 900 Davy lamps in daily use.
Lord Ward has arrived at Mivart's from his scat
at Dudley. This young nobleman, who has recently come
to the title, possesses estates of the value of 150,0001. per
annum. His Lordship is in his 19th year. _ _

We regret to learn that Lady Morgan has been
seriously ill during her visit to Malahide Castle.—Dublin
Evening Post.
The Tory leaders having had circulars sent to all the
Lords and Commoners who vote with them, and support
their politics, however rabid, or ill advised, pressing those
who are absent from town to return some days before the
meeting of Parliament, spews that they are determined to
commence their opposition to Ministers early in the Session.
The supporters of Government should not relax, but be
early in the field when the Parliamentary campaign com-
mences, lest they should be out-manoeuvred by thir' cun-
ning and artful adversaries. - - -
Wilkie is said to be engaged on n-picture-repre-
senting the interview between the Pope and Buonaparte,
when the former refused to put his signature to the Con-
cordat.
DAMASCUS AND JERUSALEM.--A very valuable
publication from the pen of Dr. Hogg, is now exciting con-
siderable attention ; we allude to his " Travels to Alexan-
dria, Damascus, &c." It will be appreciated by all classes,
but more particularly by those at all conversant with Bibli-
cal learning. The light that this work has thrown upon
Scripture history is extremely valuable, and furnishing, as
they do, unanswerable arguments against the infidel, this
book should form a part of the library of every well regu-
lated family.
THE FOUNDLING'S SEARCH AFTER HIS FA-
THElL—Captain Marryat, always original, and always
happy in his subjects, has proved in his new work, " Japhet
in Search of a Father," that his wit belongs to no particu-
lar element, and that it is quite as racy on shore as it is at
sea. For sly humour there is no writer that equals him.
Japhet is a foundling in search of a parent ; this search is
his dream and his passion, and leads him into all kinds of
scenes : his adventures are detailed with a vividness of
description so near a kin to reality, that the reader is ac-
tually lulled into the imagination that he is perusing the
events of actual life. It is a most humorous and a most
entertaining book.
LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILROAD.-- On
Thursday last a very numerous meeting was held at the
Red Lion Inn, Dorking, when resolutions were passed to

Wilks (of Broom Park) ; Mr. It. Watkin, Mr. J. Dewd-
