Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age,

the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re-

TEE Pitmen OF WALEB.—At one of those little
batters which Prince Albert enjoys occasionally in the
preserves near Osborne the Prince of Wales was per-
mitted to be present with the sportsmen in attendance
on his father, while her Majesty and suite accompanied
them in a carriage. As is usual upon such occasions,
there was a good deal of sharp shooting and cursory
firing here and there. A bird had been killed by one of
the party, and the Prince, with all the eager impetuosity
of a boy, started forward to Ee iz it just at the very in-
stant that a haro, which leapt up from its form at the
report was covered by Lord Canning's gun.. He was thus
right in the line of shot. As Lord Canning pulled the
trigger, Colonel Grey, who saw his Royal Highness's
danger, with wonderful presence of mind and prompti-
tude, rushed across the ground, and, throwing himself
before him, received a portion of the shot in his coat,
which world otherwise have struck the Prince in the
head and face. It may easily be conceived into what a
state of alarm and surprise the Royal party was thrown
by such a painful and sudden occurrence. Lord Can
ning, in ignorance of the injury done by his gun, and
overcome by terror, fell fainting to the ground the
moment he fired, while Lady Canning, imagining that
her husband was wounded, was thrown into the most
pitiable grief. Those feelings were fortunately of short
duration, and were soon dispelled by emotions of joy
and thankfulness at finding that his Royal Highness was
totally free from harm, and that Colonel Grey had
escapad any ill-results from his courageous conduct ex •
cept the lodgment of some lead in his coat.— IV eekly
Chronicle.
Tun Gums' JUSTICESIIIP.—Lord Penman's resig-
nation of the Chief Justiceship of the Queen's Bench,
announced in The Sun some days since, in consequence
of continued ill-health, has been reluctantly accepted by
the Cabinet, and Lord Campbell, Chancellor of the
Duchy of Lancaster, has received the important appoint-
ment. The Noble and Learned Lord will, it is under-
stood, take his seat on the first day of next term. No
arrangement has yet been come to with respect to the
vacancy in the Cabinet caused by Lord Campbell's pro•
motion, but rumour attributes to Ministers an intention
of recommending to the Sovereign that the Master of the
Mint (the Rigut Hon. Richard Laikz Shed) shall be
called to herMajesty's,Ceuncils.

FIRE AT HAMPSTEAD PARK.—On Saturday evening
last, between the hours of 6 and 7 o'clock, an alarming
fire broke out at Hampstead-lodge, situate betwten
Reading and Newbury, the seat of the Esrl of Craven.
As one of the domestics in the establishment was passing
a room near the entrance-hall she fancied, from the
great smell of fire and the smoky appearance the
room, that something more than usual was burning,
upon which she immediately informed his Lordship,
who happened to be, within at the time. An alarm was
quickly rtesed, and in a few moments afterwards a dense
body of flame burst forth. The united exertions of all
tho household, with what other assistance could be got
at hand, were directed to endeavouring to prevent the
fire from gaining greater ascendancy, and owing to
copious supplies of water being continually poured over
the burning mass it was at length got under, but not
until the mansion and furniture had sustained a con-
gullible amount of injury.
