the Right Hon. T. S. Rice.

The Court Newsman is wrong in his statement
about the Duchess of Gordon arriving in the preceding
week from the North. Her Grace has been in town for a
month, and came from Corfe Castle, that being the first
visit her Grace has paid since the demise of the Duke. The
Duchess has not been in Scotland for nearly a year. Early

lignac has again fallen ill, and that the Princess has imme-
diately left Paris far Ham on receiving the intelligence
from Dr. Benin, a medical gentleman, long resident in this
country, vho attended the Prince in his prosperity, and
who has most zealously adhered to his friend in his adversity.
There are several distinguished ladies named to fill
the office of Lady of the Bedchamber to the Queen, in the
place of the late Countess Howe ; but none are expected
to be appointed for some days.
The election of Lord Rector of the Glasgow Uni-
versity promises to be one of uncommon interest. Certain
allusions have been made to it by more than one Tory
London Journal, to the effect that the students were about
to do themselves the honour of electing Lord Lyndhurst to
the Rectorial chair. However this may be, no one has yet
been daring enough to make such a proposal within the
College walls. Sir John Campbell has been proposed, and
from the high qualifications. for the office which he pos-
sesses (and from the enthusiasm with which his name has
been received) will no doubt be elected.—Glasgow Cln•on.
DUBLIN, Nov. 3.—LEGAL APPOINTMENTS.—
The King's letter has arrived this day. Mr. O'Loghlen is
now a Baron of the Exchequer. Mr. Richards, Attorney-
General. Mr. Waulfe, Solicitor-General, Mr. Ball, Ser-

much for the Liberal cause, has issued a weekly paper of
large size, and sold at four-pence (every Wednesday after-
noon), called the London Journal. It deserves to succeed ;
and from the crowd of advertisements occupying its pages,
success seems already obtained. To say that the London
Journal is conducted with ability, and that its principles
are purely patriotic, is almost superfluous. The name of
the editor is significative of all that.--Tail's Magazine for
November.

Accounts from Belize to the beginning of September,
state that the cholera had much abated in its virulence
there ; the deaths which at the previous advices were up-
wards of 30 per day, having decreased to four or five. It
had also been very prevalent down the coast among the
mahogany cutters.

Letters from Naples announce the breaking out of
the cholera in that city. There had been, so far, eleven
or twelve cases daily. The Government had made all pos-
sible arrangements that if the disorder should spread the
sick might have prompt relief. Several cholera hospitals
were fitted up, and magazines of provisions for supplying the
poorer classes with wholesome food at very low prices.

THE NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF "
YEAR IN SPAIN," " SPAIN REVISITED.”—This will be a
very pleasant work to the lover of " Don Quixote" and
" Lazarillo de Torines ;" the mule and the muleteer, the
host and the hostler, the town barber and the friar,
and the bandit, are all drawn to the life. The volumes
are given in the form of a journal, though without the
dates ; and every day, from the chocolate at rising to the
tortilla at supper, is given with fidelity and spirit. The
traveller mixed with all classes of the inhabitants, in city
and in country, and gained a considerable mass of inte-
resting information which he has pleasantly retailed. we
part with this clever and sprightly work with great reluc-
tance, and hope the author will make a third trip to the
land of the dance and the song, and describe it in as
amusing a manner as he has done in this.—Gentienian's
Magazine for November.

DESTRUCTION OF THE SPIRE OF CHRIST
CHURCH BY LIGHTNING.—About four o'clock on Thurs-
day afternoon, a most vivid flash of lightning accompanied
by a dreadful burst of thunder shook this town. The fluid
struck Christ's Church, and has levelled nearly the whole
of the spire with the ground. Most of the beautiful pin-
nacles which ornamented the tower are demolished—the
clock, and two illuminated dials are destroyed—the organ is
much injured, and the roof of the Churcl) has been
sent through into the body of the building. Some of
the stones from the tower were drawn forty or fifty yards.
The gas was set on firc, and might have done much more
injury, ha,i it not been immediately stepped. NV bat other
degree of injury the building, especially the tower, has sus-
tained cannot at present be ascertained. Nor can it at pre-
sent be known what direction afterwards the electric
fluid took—whether it flew off from the part of the lower
fractures or descended towards the foundation of the edi-
fice. The appearance of the broken spire—about one-
' third of which is gone—the shattered portions of the tower—
broken canopies—shattered pinnacles and battlements—the
accumulation of the ruins on the outside of, and within the
edifice—are truly lamentable, and awakened the deep re-
gret of all persons who had assembled to view the scene of
devastation. It is impossible, at the present time, to esti-
mate the amount of the injury which the building has sus-
tained ; but it must be very considerable. The shock
which the tower and spire have undergone must he also
very severe ; and it is to be hoped that no serious injury is
done to the lower walls. It is providential tha t this lament-
able event did not take place on a Sunday, during the time
of service ; for, had that been the case, many lives would,
in all probability, have been lost.—Doncaster Gazette.
THE LORD MAYOR'S STATE LIVERIES.—The
state liveries of the coachmen, pages, and footmen of the
Lord Mayor for the year ensuing are of the most superb
and costly description—far surpassing, it is said, any that
have preceded them in elegance and beauty. The coats
are made from claret-coloured cloth of the finest texture,
and richly striped with gold lace of the best quality, the
stripes being tastefully interspersed with acorns and oak-
leaves, composed of the same preciot,s metal, and the epau-
lettes are the most splendid that could be manufactured,
The waistcoats and breeches are of the finest white kersey-
mere, and also richly braided with gold lace. The hats
and other minor articles of dress arc in accordance with the
suits.

Last week, M. Eugene Cheylard, only son of one
of the most respectable inhabitants of LTzurche, in the Cor-
reze, was amusing himself with some young friends, by
moonlight, in jumping over a low wall which divided two
gardens, when he was mistaken for a thief, who had robbed
the garden of a M. Dorat, and hastily fired at by M. Boo-
baton, M. Dorat's servant ; the contents of the gun lodged
in his head and neck, and i❑ half an hour he expired.
Boubillou has disappeared, but, it is said that he was so
overwhelmed with grief for what he had done, that it is
feared he has put an end to his own life.

geant. These appointments, it need not be said, have
given universal satisfaction. Even the Tories are enforced,
to acknowledge that the appointments could not be better.
Mr. O'Loghlen is the first Catholic Judge that has sat on
Bench since the days of James the Second, when Mr. Nagle,
the ancestor of the present Sir Richard, was Chief Baron
of the Exchequer. This indeed, is a revolution ; and one
which must fill the Irish people with delight.—Dublin Even-
ing Post.
The Duke of Bucclench, and a party of noble
friends, have been enjoying great sport at Athol Forest, in
deer-stalking. This extensive demesne, of 45,000 acres,
has derived great advantage from the plantations made for
the last fifteen years ; and the red deer are in great abun-
dance, being seen in droves of between 3,000 end 4,000
head at a time. The Noble Duke has frequently shot four
and five a day ; and the united party have sometimes killed
18 to 20 from " dawn to dusk."
Mr. Wallace, of the Madras Civil Service, has been
unanimously elected a member of the Dramatic Authors'
Society.
AFFAIR OF "HONOUR."—In the course of a trial
at Castleblaney Quarter Sessions on Friday last, an alter-
cation took place between Mr. 'F. R. and Mr. C. C. G.,
the attorneys engaged on opposite sides. Angry and vitu-
perative expressions passed between these gentlemen so
personal and strong, that the Court was obliged to inter-
fere and put a stop to the wordy warfare. On the even-
ing of that day, Mr. Bellingham and Mr. J. M. Reed, ac-
tive and intelligent Magistrates of that town, received in-
formation that a challenge had been given, and a hostile
meeting agreed on ; in consequence of which they directed
the police to he on the alert, for the purpose of
.arresting
the parties. Police-sergeant Thompson accordingly dis-
patched sub-constable Murphy in the night mail to Monag-
han, to watch the residence of Mr. R., whilst he himself,
eiith three sub-constables, remained in the street of Castle-
blaney all night, under the severe rain. About five o'clock
on Saturday morning Mr. R. was seen issuing from Twicle's
Hotel (Castleblaney), accompanied by a Mr. C. In a
short time afterwards, Mr. G. left Rule's Hotel, accompa-
nied by Dr. M. in a gig. Both parties (the first being on
foot) took their route through Lord Blaney's demesne,
pursued by the police. The belligerents had proceeded
about three miles, when they were overtaken by the peace
officers, upon which they attempted to gain a boat on the
lake that had been previously placed there for the pur-
pose, if necessary, of effecting their escape. Mr. G. suc-
ceeded in gaining the boat, and rowed off, but Mr. R. was
arrested and conveyed back to the town, where he was held
in recognisances to keep the peace—himself in 1,0001.,
and two sureties in 5001. each. Mr. G. afterwards re-
turned and gave similar security.—Newry Telegraph.
HIGHWAY ROBBERlES.—Considerable alarm has
lately prevailed at Sydenham and the neighbouring country
in consequenee of several very daring attempts at highway
robbery having been made by two footpads. A short
time ago, it may be remembered, that a gentleman was
stopped on Hayes-common while driving his chaise, and
had two pistols presented at his head by two footpads, and
was threatened with being shot if he made any resistance,
and did not deliver up his money. Owing, however, to the
resistance made by the gentleman, and the pistols of
the villains. having missed fire, he escaped being robbed.
Since then a Mrs. Davis was stopped by two men an-
swering the description of those above-mentioned, in
Sydenham-lane, about seven o'clock in the even-
ing. They jumped over a hedge into the lane, and
having held her by the arms, demanded her money. She
immediately gave them all she had in her possession at the
time (about five shillings), and they left her and retreated
back into the field out of which they had pounced upon
her. On Wednesday night, as Mr. James Humphries, a
corn-chandler, at Chiselhurst, was returning home, in his
cart, about twelve o'clock, at a short distance from Lewis-
ham, he heard cries of " murder." He immediately pulled
up, and shortly afterwards a man jumped over the hedge
into the road, and in a state of alarm said that he had just
been stopped in crossing a footpath in the field by two
highwaymen, one of whom struck at him with a bludgeon,
but he parried off the blow ; and at the moment the noise
of the cart going along the road alarmed the villains, and
they made a precipitate retreat. Since then another at-
tempt was Made to rob two females, named Cowlid -and
Halman, who together were proceeding along Lewisham_
lane, at about seven o'clock in the evening, when they
were stopped by two men, who jumped out of a field by
the road side ; at the moment, however, that the ruffians
were about to rob them, a gentleman in a chaise drove
along, when they retreated back into the field and escaped.
The two females were taken up by the gentleman, and
conveyed home in his chaise. The metropolitan police ex-
tend to within one mile of where these attempts have been
made.

THE IIOYAL HURT.—The first public day with this esta-
blishment was fixed for Monday last, at Salt-hill, where deer
and hounds were in readiness at the appointed hour, but owing
to the heavy fall of snow a day or two previous, and the severe
frost of that morning, it was deemed prudent not to hunt that
day. A disappointment to the lovers of the chase from such a
cause, on the first day of the season, is not within our recollec-
tion. The next fixture was Wednesday, at Ascot Heath,
where the deer (St. George) was uncarted, and followed by a
good number of sportsmen, to whom he afforded ample sport
to suffice for the blank day of Monday. The line of country
this noble animal passed through was from Ascot, round Swin-
ley, to Bagshot, then to Chobham, and near Chertsey to By-
fleet, on to Ccbham, and in the park of H. Combe, Esq., near
that place, at five o'clock, the chase was ended, but not by the
capture of the deer, who was allowed to remain there unmo-
lested till the following morning, when the hounds were again-
laid on, and he was captured after a short run. On Friday
the place of meeting was at Iver Heath, and the deer selected
for the day afforded a good run of about two hours, being
taken at Taplow, having from Ivor passed through Long-
copse, Black-park, Wexham, Burnham-beeches, &c. From
what we have heard, a brilliant season with these hounds may
be pretty confidently anticipated. This establishment does
not go to Aylesbury this month.

The Committee of the Printers' Pension Society
have taken the English Opera House, and have an-
nounced a performance there this evening for the benefit
of the Society. Independently of the attractions of the
performance itself, which will consist of The Mountain
Sylph. and several other favourite pieces, embracing the
whole strength of the company, this entertainment well
deserves the attention and ;support of the public, from its
highly useful object, which is to enlarge the funds and in-
crease the usefulness of an excellently administered and
most valuable benevolent institution.

The Siege of Corinth is to be produced at Drury-
lane to-morrow, supported by the most powerful band and
chorus hitherto introduced in an English theatre ; and as
iNldlle. Duvernay dances in the ballet, which takes place in
the piece, an additional number of dancers have been
engaged to support her.

On Saturday a new piece was produced at the
Victoria Theatre, written by Mr. Macarthy, for whose
benefit it was played. It is called The Irish Absentee.
From a conversation which Rossini held lately with
a distinguished Parisian vocalist it woud teem. that the
Swan of Pesaro, as he is termed by his countrymen, has
sung .his last song. Being asked when a new opera might
be expected from him, he is said to have replied, " Why
should I write anything more ? If my opera should create
a sensation it would be nothing new to me ; and if it should
fail I should be reproached with its failure to the end of my
days, and vexed with myself for having risked it. No, with
an income of sixty thousand francs, I can live as I please ;
let the others take their turn." It is said that Schlesinger,
the Paris musical publisher, has in vain offered him a
hundred thousand francs for the copyright of a new opera.—
Musical World.

BATH. Nov. s.—The great pump room is just
opened, after having been extensively improved and reno-
vated. Improvements, corresponding with those in the
pump room, have likewise been made in the baths. Many
of the private rooms have been newly furnished, and the
walls hung throughout with drapery—costly, as well as useful
amendments, only noticeable as they are the acts of the
Council, and show that they are occasionally mindful of the
city's interest and character. The history of bridge build-
ing records nothing to surpass the rapidity with which Vic-
toria Bridge, across our river, at Norfolk Crescent, has
been constructed. About 14 weeks ago the masons and
iron works commenced, and now every chain is in its place,
and the far greater proportion of the suspension apparatus
connected with the stone work fitted and " yotted" with
lead. This bridge will connect Marlborough-buildings and
the Upper Bristol road with the village of Tiverton, and
will be opened in about•a fortnight.
We are informed that it is not the intention of Mr.
C. Kemble to enter into any new engagement after the con-
clusion of that he is now performing.
EXPLOSION OF A STEAM ENGINE BOILER.—
Two PERSONS KILLED—FIVE HURT.—MANCHESTER,
Nov. s.—This morning, about eight o'clock, the inhabit-
ants in the vicinity of the Exchange were electrified by a
report produced by the bursting of a large steam-engine
boiler, in Bateman's-buildings, Dean's-gate, Manchester.
The noise was equal to that produced by the discharge
of many pieces of heavy ordnance. - The effects have been
most calamitous—two killed and five dangerously hurt, so
much so, that there is no hope of the recovery of three.
Soon, however, as they could be extricated from the ruins
(for the building that contained the boiler is a complete
ruin, not a vestige standing), they were taken to an infir-
mary, where first professional aid in the kingdom is always
to be had. The two killed were repairing another boiler in
the same building. It is remarkable that no means seem
to be adopted to prevent similar accidents, especially when
the remedies are plain and simple. If, for instance, a pipe
was connected with the top of the boiler, whose altitude was
100 or 150 feet, theihigher the safer, through which the
steam when too high could eject the water in the boiler,
accidents of this kind could not occur.
Major-General Sir Henry Bouverie, K.C.8., has

de-Camp, and Captain Maxwell, of the 82d, his Assistant

cessor in the command of the northern district is Major-
General Sir Richard D. Jackson.
act of incendiarism by which the farm offices of
Knole House, the property of Sheffield Grace, Esq., were
destroyed, has been successfully investigated. The result
of thirteen depositions clearly prove the crime to have been
committed by a young footman in the establishment of that
gentleman, who had become connected with a gang of
poachers, and was accompanied and instigated to the deed
by the most notorious, daring, and ferocious poacher in the
neighbourhood, on whom Mr. Sheffield Grace had, as a
Magist rate, inflicted a peoalty of 51.—Sussex C,»Tespandent.
HORRIBLE INFANTICID correspondent of
the Bombay Gazette of April 6, on the faith of a letter
front Ahmedeuggur, states the following horrible trans-
action :—" It is distressing to relate, that for these fee'
days past several native children have been missed from the
Petah of this place, and general report says, that a Raj-
pootnee of distinction, residing a few days' march from
hence, and who has for some days past been in a dangerous
state of illness, having been informed by her medical
advisers that all endeavours to restore her would prove in-
effectual unless she consented to eat the heart and liver of
twenty ycung children, at length acquiesced in the measure.
Three days since (says my correspondent, whose letter is
dated the 2d inst.) a child was found in a nullah near this
place, with the belly cut open, from which the heart and
liver had been extracted. There are now two .men con-
fined in the bazaar guard, who have been taken up on sus.
picion of being connected with this horrible traffic. The
inhabitants of Ahtnednuggur are in such a state of trepi-
dation, that their children are kept closely confined to their
betties.

PARIS, Nov. s.—The Sentinelle des Pyrenees an•
nounces from the letter of a Liberal Correrpondent in the
environs of Bilboa, that General Espartero was on the 28th
at La Pena de Ordena, and was expected to arrive at Bilboa
on the 30th.
On the same day (the 28th) says the letter, the garrison
of Bilboa made a sally on that side of the city which the
Carlists have attacked three times without success. The
garrison fought with resqlution—it burnt several houses iri
which thee:way had taken post, and spiked some pieces of
cannon.

Four hundred wounded Carlists have been conveyed to
Durango and Zlrnosa. The Carlists, having 13arnt the
approach of Espartero, raised the siege.

Carlists have had one thousand men killed and wounded,
among whom arc eighteen superior officers. M. de la
Rochefaucauld, Colonel of Artillery, and a Portuguese
General were. killed. The Portuguese General, as we
have before mentioned, was named Coello.—Journal do

PARIS, Nov. 4.-We are assured that a letter dated
Turin, Oct. 26th, announces the arrest of about thirty
persons. They are for the most part advocates, phy-
sicians, and merchants, settled at Turin. Among the per-
sons arrested there are also four ecclesiastics. All are
thrown into prison, and the greatest mystery has hitherto
been observed respecting the causes of this measure, which
are doubtless of a political nature. A journal of this morn-
ing. says :-" A new ambassador, it is said, is going to
Lisbon, to succeed M. de St. Priest. This will be a
new concession to the demands of Lord Palmerston, who
finds that our ambassador was too French in the events at
Lisbon. M. Duchatel, it is added, required in exchange a
treaty of commerce which should place our merchants in
Portugal on the same footing as the English, but his de-
mands were in vain ; it was necessary to yield uncondi-
tionally. Thus France will always have to repeat the
fable of Bertrand and Raton."-Illessager, Nov. 5.
