The Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne had
a dinner pa.ity, on Thursday evening, at Lansdowne House.
Amongst the company were Earl and Countess Grey, Lord
and Lady Lilford, Lord and Lady Barrington. There was
afterwards a concert, at which Mademoiselle Grisi, Madame
Malibran, Mrs. Shaw, and Lablache, assisted. Near 500 of
the Nobility and Gentry were present.
Count d'Orsay was asked the other day, at the
Travellers' Club, whether he thought the marriage between
the Prince of Capua and Miss Smyth would be considered
binding. "Of course," was his reply, "four negatives must
make an affirmative." 1,. the diplomatic circles this marriage
has been termed " the Quadruple Alliance."
Mrs. Howitt, the author of one of the most pleas-
ing volumes with which we are acquainted—we allude to " The
Book of the Seasons,"—has just presented us with another
picture of rural life in her new novel, " Wood Leighton ; or,
A ear in the Country." We congratulate our fair friend on
this charming work. It is not a book to be read and then
forgotten ; it is calculated to make a lasting impression on
the mind, presenting to us pictures of English country life,
equally delightful for their truth; delicacy and high-finish.
" Besides the general excellencies of the book," we quote the
Spectator, " we are presented with some glimpses of the
ruder squirearchy forty or fifty years ago, two portraits of a
high-spirited but reduced
.Catholic mother and son, as well as
a minute exhibition of a miser, and touches of a few rustic
persons as true as Gainsborough ever limned."
ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—The number of visitors
during the past month was 43,890, and the sum received
therefrom 1,3411. 7s. A great increase in the above over the
average number has been caused by the unprecedented attrac-
tion of the giraffes,- the number on. Sunday last being very
few below 4,000 ; whilst on Monday and the following day
they exceeded 3,000 each. Amongst the recent presents to
the gardens arc t.vo musk deer, from the Princess Victoria ; a
young lion, from Sir Thomas Reade, his Majesty's Consul at
Malta ; a sheep from Detneraia, by the Earl of Derby ; a
Ca.limere goat, from Sir J. Tyrrell ; a Persian lynx, from
Sir Rowland Hill, &c.
VAUXHALL GA RDEN S.—Vauxhall opened • last
night for the season. The weather, in accordance with the
fatality which seems to hang over the opening of this amusing
pl ice, was not propitious ; nevertheless the attendance of visi-
tors was respectable both in rank and numbers. The proprie-
tors have been lavish in expense to insure the public patronage.
The concert of vocal and instrumental music is good, and most
of the old favourites have been re-engaged. The great attrac-
tion for those who are fond of extraordinary exhibitions is the
Ravel family, who give a variety of entertainments in a series
of comic ballets. There are several new panoramic views ;
that of Mont Blanc and the Valley of Chamouni, by moonlight,
by Mr. Cocks, is in its general effect extremely pleasing. The
fireworks are on a scale of great splendour. It must not be
forgotten to state, that a bust of the celebrated Mr. Simpson
has been placed in front of the centre box of the pavilion.
The want of accommodation for the ladies at Ascot
has suggested the idea of a grand stand, on the- same scale as
that of Goodwood ; if placed between the Royal and Betting
Stands, it could not fail to answer. The profits might go to
the race fund.

GREENWICH It A ILWA Y.—The Commissioners
of Sewers for Kent and Surrey have finally approved of the
plans of the engineer, of the Railway Company for crossing
the Creek or Ravensbourne at Deptford, according to
the Act of Parliament, and the work will be commeneed
on Tuesday next. Upwards of 400 men are daily employed
on various parts of the line.
