Prince Fu stenherg and suite arrived, in Chanclos-
street yesterday from Newmarket, where his highness went to see the

races.

The Duchess of Bedford has left Bel ;rave-square
for Woburn Abbey, twhere a select party of the nobility will assemble
for a few days.
Marshal Soult and suite are expected to leave town
by the railroad on Thursday next, for Liverpool, where a grand dinner
by the Corporation is to be given his Excellency on the following day.
The Marshal is not expected to return to Paris until the second week in
the ensuing month.
Sir Alexander Woodford, governor of Gibraltar,
left Mivart's Hotel, on Wednesday evening, for Portsmouth, sitcom.

Lord Brooke, eldest son of the Earl of Warwick,

was attacked some weeks since by a fever, and was at one time in a very
dangerous state. His Lordship is now considerably better, and the
family entertain the most sanguine hopes of his recovery.
A chain, which is hung over the portals of prisons
in England, is suspended over the doors of houses in Spain, honoris

servitude, which the absolute Monarch leaves as the impress of his foot,
exempts the owner, among other immunities, from the hated necessity
of admitting billeted troops.—Quarterly Review.
Several of the City Aldermen have, it is said, been
s?tlulously employed in rubbing up their French, previous to this day's
entertainment, especially under the head of " Culinary Dialogues."
Countess Strogenofl"s ball on Monday next, on
Carlton terrac?, will be on a scale of great splendour. The Count,
who is one of the richest Noblemen in the Russian empire, has or-
tiered a pavilion to be erected which covers the lawn, and through
which the company will pass to the entrance hall. More than 500 cards
have been issued.

The Marchioness of Londonderry gave her first
grand assembly last evening, at Holderness House, when the noble
suite of saloons, seven in. number, were brilliant:y lighted up and
thrown open to the visitants. There were present nearly 500 fa-
shionables, including Marshal Soult, and most of the Ambassadors:Ex-
tr aordinary.

Marquis Soult gave a sumptuous banquet on Tues-
day evening at his mansion, in Portland-place. The viands were of a
recherchs description, and would have been pronounced delicious by the
most fastidious Epicurean. The company included many of the gallant
Marshal's homer opponents in the field viz., the Duke of Wellington,
Marquis of Anglesey, Lord Hill, Viscount Beresford, Lord Fitzroy
Somerset,

The Marquis and Marchioness of Westminstel
gave a grand dinner party last evening at Grosvenor House, to their
Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Gloucester, Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge and Prince George of Cambridge, Prince Esterhazy, Prince
Nicholas Esterhazy, Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, Earl and Coun-
tess of Shrewsbury, Earl and Countess of Albemarle, Viscount and

ELECTRICITY.—M. Sallier has found it sufficient
to place an electric diamond upon a pane of glass in order to produce
sounds. When a well-polished sewing-needle, suspended from a hair,
is placed in a glass bowl filled with an acid su'phate of copper, the bowl
crackles, even after the needle has been withdrawn and the liquor poured
out. Small currents of common electricity become perceptible to
the ear by means of a whe: trn straw struck upon a dram o: v:gctable
paper.

Two nights ago, while the passengers Were disem•
barking from the Brilliant steam.vesscl, which had just returned from
the Nore with the Harmonic Philanthropic Society, at Londen-bridge
wharf, a young woman, in a state of inebriation, who was very gaily
dressed, on leaving the vessel, instead of walking straight forward along
the gaNway, got upon the dumb-barge, from which she walked into
the river. She uttered a loud scream on reachirg the water, and was
about sinking, when a Waterman, named Connorton, who was fortu-
nately alongside in his boat, caught her and saved her life. On re-
covering herself the first words she uttered woe, "Oh dear, I have
spelled a new shawl and bonnet I" and left the spat . without thanking
her preserver.

THE NASSAU BALLOON.—The balloon descended
with its eight passengers three miles beyond Clielinsfbrd, Essex, in
exactly fifty-four minutes after quitting the gardens. The machine
did not take a direct course to the place of descent, having got into two
different currents of air, but the voyage is des-jibe,' by the aeronauts as
the most delightful that they (those who have been before) ever expe.
rienced., The descent was made with perfect case and safety on the
estate of a gentleman, who hospitably entertained his unlooked-for visi-
tors until a late hour. The party did net ictutn to Vatixliztll until
nearly four o'cleck yesterday morning. The desire to take trips of this
description, at least with the veteran Green, appears to be as great as
ever; the charge for each passenger being still kept up at 20 guineas.
The gentleman named Tryon, who was 0112 of the party, is a Lieutenant
in the Royal Navl.

A very numerously attended meetirT, which was
conducted w th great spirit, took pled at the Town Hall, on Thursday
evtning, rdative to the encroachments on the downs, and the nume.
rou. pathways and roads that have been stopped up in the vicinage of
this town. It it not long since that the Lords of the Manor tried to
monopolise all the sand and beach, and to compel every builder to
purchss2 those n.atcrials of them. Through the public spirit of the

Fhabitants that arbitrary deugn was frustrated; but that cinks into

insignificance when compared with the encroachments which have been
made upon pubLe property in every part of nrizhton, and which en-
croachments, we trust, will be as successfuly resisted as was the attempt
to rrymoptdise the sand and beach. We have hundreds of poor rogues
committed to the treadmill fir petty thefts; but it would seem that
some Polm'ar men can stand by and see the town robbed of its public
lands by wholesale without uttering one word of remonstrance or
mAkiog the least attempt to Uo justice on the wholesale robbers.—

lIE NEW PARLIAMENT :-SECOND SERIES OF
RANDOM RECOLLECTIONS OF THE LORDS AND COMMONS.—Mr. Grant has
11:.•re furo6lied ilia public wills a set of portraits of the Members of the
new Parliament, the first of Queen Victoria. In the Lords we have all

Qll7 hereditary legi,latois, and than not particularly described in

his former Work ;. at the same time that the "scenes," or squabble,'
in that House are given with such dramatic and graphic effect, that the
reader is mad', in effect, a spectator of the whole. Thee'. -scenes, WC
doubt not, will b? much more highly relished by:it(vniCalic, than by the
Honourable and Right Honourable ectsrs. Th all the new Members
are e:,.llb:ted, and a correct and very impartial estimate of their powers
and abilities given, from the orator in embryo, to the full.fledged and
rampant stager; and the author appears to keep out of view all poli•
tical bias, if he has any, as both sides of the Houses, and Members of all
parties, are drawn in a very impartial manner. The work is exceedingly
entertaining, as well as instructive.—Caledonian Mercury.
In Glasgow new potatoes are selling at 8.1. per

MANNERS IN MISSOURI.—A member elect of
the Lower Chamber of the Legislature of this State was last year per-
suaded by some nags of his neighbourhood, that if he did not reach
the Sate House at ten o'c ock, on the day of Assembly, he could not he
sworn, and would lose his seat. He immediately mounted with
hunting frock, rifle, and bowie-knife, and spurred till he got to the door
of the Senate House, where he hitched his nag. A crowd was in the
Chamber in the Lower House on the ground floor, walking about with
their hats on, and snicking cigars Those he passed, ran up stairs into
the Senate Chamber, set his rise against the wall, and bawled out,
" Straagers, wbars the man that swors me in I" at the same time taking
out his cre.tentials. " Walk this way," said the clerk who was at the
moment igniting a real Printipe, and he was sworn without inquiry.
When the Teller came to count noses, he found that there was one
Senator too many present; the mistake was soon discovered, and the
hu.itsmni was informed that he did nut be'ong there. "Fool who !
with your corn tread!" he roared, " You can't flunk this child no bow
you can fix it—Pin elected to this here Legislatur, and I'll go against
all banks and eternal improvements, and if ther's any of you oratory
gentlemen wants to get skinned, jest say the word, and I'll light upon
you like a nigger on a wocd.chuck. My constituents sent me here,
and if you want to floor this two legged animal, hop on, just as soon as
you like, for though I'm from the back country, I'm smarter than any
other quadruped you can turn out of this drove." After this admir.
able 1).--rangue, he put his bowie.knife between his teeth, and took up
his rifle with " Come here old Suke;stand by me at the same time pre-
sented After some expostulation, the man was persuaded that he belonged to
who, however, had seen such people before.
chairman, who,
he sheathed his knife, flung his gun on
with a profound congee, remarked, " Gentlemen, I beg
your pardon. But if I didn't think that a lower room was the groggery,
may I be shot."

DOG CAItT NUISANCE.—Gibbins, an officer of
the Animals' Friend Society, last week charged William Fuller,
Furber, and Miley, before Mr. White, at Queen.square, with
having unmercifully beaten a dog, drawing a cart heavily laden, with
the butt end of a cart whip, and assaulting the officer while attempting
to take him into custody. He stated that the cries of the poor animal
had attracted him to the spot and were most piteous. Mr. White re-
quired another witness, and said it was very strange that among E 0
many persons (which chiefly consisted of costermongers, &c.) none could
be produced. He said to the prisoner while making his defence—make
haste, I have other business to attend to—and then told Gibbons he was
not obliged to believe all he heard, and dismissed the case with oosts on
the prOsecutor.

CIiURCII-RATES.—Upwards of two hundred in-
habitants of the Chapery of Sc. Mary in the Borough of Brecon having
been summoned, on complaint of the Churchwardens, for non.payment
ore Church-rate made on the let of July, 1836, the case was heard on
Friday; ultimately the summons was discharged. Mr. Wilkins, then,
saidbe keyed that as the Chuithwardens would be liable to a heavy
loss the parishioners would waive their objection to the rate. Mr.
Bishop said that as he was professionally engaged, as well as opposed to
a cornpubory rate on principle, he could not agree to such a course, but
that he would, if a voluntary subscription was opened, put down three
times the amount of his rate ; and if every other churchman did the
same, the Churchwardens would have no dilliculties.to contend with.
Sart rime. _

A M 'lsle weft ahroad is, that it is intended
;
to revive the old struggle for supremacy betweeu the monarchical and
republican princ:ples. It is easy to say, that such an opinion is based
upon folly ; but it is impossible to deny its existence. The feeling is so
general "over the water" that it will require the greatest caution, on
the part of the respective Governments, to check the fiery spirits who
are ripe for mischief on both the American and the Canadian side of the
frontier.-4//den.
HINDOO WlDows.—We are glad to see that the
Hindoos are stirring themee'ves to obtain permission for their widows
to remarry. It is a question of their law, and one which, consequently,
cannot be interfered with by our Government, sinless they can show,
that the present prohibition is not an essential part of the Hindoo sys.
tem. Cer:ainly, if in any country, such a prohibition is absurd, it is
here, where Hindoo females arc frequently married at two years of
age ; so that the ordinary chances of life must expose them to about
ten times the widowhood of persons marrying at maturity. A child,
who has been thus pledged, and whose hush.nd may have died before
he left his nurse's arms, is thus sacrificed to an absurd prejudice, which
the Hindoos are beginning to be ashamed of. Till they consent to
place their women on a perfect equality with the other sex, they may
depend upon it that they will never take rank with civilised nations.—
Bombay Gazette.
Bo ROUGIL OF CASHEL.--We know not how
many candidates there were for Cashel—we have heard of only eleven—
the chief of whom were Mr. Welsh, the barrister, and Mr. Kirwan, of
Tuam, in the county of Galway—furMr. Moore was never in the fle'd.
Hawever, on the appearance of Dr. Stock, the other candidates gave
way, Mr. Kirwan suspended his water.works, and Mr. Welsh became
the most active canvasser for Dr. Stock. The entire constituency were
canvassed, and there is no doubt at all of the success, and without a con.
test, of one of the most right-minded, amiable, and honourable men in
the community—a man of talent, and of whose success in Parliament
we entertain no doubt whatever.—Dublin Evening Post.
EFFECTS OF A WHIRLWIND.—That phenome-
non which is known by this familiar name, was witnessed with great at-
tention, and no small cause of apprehension, on Wednesday last, by Mr.
John Prestwood, of Branston, near this city ; whose minute description
we state almost in his own words. About a quarter before three, just
preceding the storm, a whirl of air was seen to approach from the east,
and to become a vast column about eighty yards in height, and as large
round as a haystack that should have about fifteen tons of hay in it.
It approached the field slowly where Mr. Frestwood and his men were
hay making, and took up the hay, in a spiral ascent, to a vast height,
carrying it to a great distance, going olf across the adjoining fields. In
about ten minutes or a quarter
.of an hour, another great tornado was
seen to approach out of the same quarter, proceeding in the same route
as the other : but it took across a fallow piece about sixty yards from
Prestwood's house : it made a turn to the right, and then along the fal-
low field,—there then occurred a sight most wonderful,—for it tore up
the earth and raised it to a great height in a black mass that. seemed to
be full of fire, with thundering and lightning out of the midst of it ; the
and Prestwood believes that if it had passed over it, the
noise and crackling were hidecus and appalling. It missed the house by
have been carried away. The corner of an outhouse, and
weight of newly.cut thorns were taken along with it and
scattered in all directions. It did not go faster than a horse could keep
,a7efh aeorsivley yards,awouldto
n
it. its course then scent whirling and curving towards Can_
uwlicklithThe cattle that beheld it fled about in order to avoid the danger ;
and such was its force, that anything that lay in its way must have been
destroyed.—Lincoln Gazette.

glad to think only a few, of the Tories have scowled upon the rejoicings
