PRINCE ERNEST OF SAXE COBURG.—NOR-
THAMTON, MARCH 18.—The Prince Ernest arrived at the
George Hotel, Northampton, this morning, aceompanied by
Lord Alfred Paget, Colonel Anson, and suite, :to hunt with the
Earl of Chesterfield's hounds, at Brockhall. An elegant
breakfast was prepared at the above hotel for his Serene
Highness by order of Lord Chesterfield. His Serene Highness
then proceeded to cover in a carriage and four belonging to the
Noble Earl. The bells rung merrily, and his Serene Highness
was cheered most heartily by one of the largest assemblages of
people that ever greeted a Royal personage in this town. We
regret to say the noble master of the hounds was too ill to
attend himself. The Prince, after hunting, partook of a de-
jeuner a la fourchette at the George Hotel, and proceeded to
Deene Park, the seat of the Earl of Cardigan, in one of the
Queen's carriages. The Northampton races and Pytchley
Hunt ball take place next Wednesday, when a srlendid amora-
-1 blage of fashion is expected.

-Viscountess Palmerston will hold an assembly
to-morrow evening, on Carlton-terrace. Her Ladyship's
youngest son, the lion. Charles Spencer Cowper, late Private
Secretary to Lord Palmerston, has arrived at Florence, where
he is appointed Secretary of Legation.
The Marquis of Northampton has issued cards
of invitation to Lord Hill, Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Monteagle,
and a distinguished party of Noblemen, for a grand dinner on
Saturday week, previous to his Lordship's soiree.
The project of the canal of the Pyrennees, to unite
the German Ocean wits the Mediterranean, has been discussed
in the French Chamber of Deputies, as one of the greatest im-
portance to the inhabitants of the southern departments. The
general advantages of avoiding the passage through the Straits
of Gibraltar, and of facilitating the communication between
France and Spain, are dwelt on by the advocates for the com-
pletion of the canal, and there seems to be a feeling that the
departments adjoining the Pyrennees have been too much neg-
lected. The convenient retreat from Spain which such a canal
would afford to an army is likewise brought forward. Petitions
on the subject prayed a reference to the President of the
Council and the Minister of Public Works, which the Chamber
has decreed.

Peter Divine, one of the prisoners convicted of
rioting in July last, died in Newcastle House of Correction on
Wednesday evening, of inflammation of the lungs. He was
22 years of age, and his conduct, when in prison, is described
as most excellent. He has left a wife and an infant about two
months old.

At the Yorkshire Assizes, John Dunnell, aged
18, and William Peacock, aged 34. were charged with commit-
ting a rape on an old woman, 77 or 78 years of age. They
were found guilty of an assault, and sentenced to two years'
hard labour.

The invitations to the Marchioness of Lans-
downe's grand fete to her Majesty and Prince Albert, on
Thursday, the 2d of next month, include, with few exceptions,
the whole world of fashion. Up to yesterday, we understand,
nearly 1,000 cards had been issued. The gala will be distin-
guished for the taste and liberality for which the Noble Mar-
chioness has been so long remarkable ; in addition to the capa-
cious means which the regular establishment of the Noble Lord
President's mansion affords, several temporary accemmodations
will be added.

COMMERCIAL GAS COMPANY.—At a nume-
rous and highly respectable meeting of the parishioners of St.
Mary's, Whitechapel, last Tuesday, at the Red Lion Tavern,
convened for the purpose of inviting the co-operation of trades-
men of the district to facilitate the introduction of the Gas
Company into the district ;'James Goldie, Esq., in the chair;
a resolution was unanimously adopted that the gas consumers
of the district should identify themselves as shareholders of the
Company, and otherwise render them every possible assistance,
as the only means of securing to themselves and the public a
good supply of gas at the lowest possible price.
THE QUEEN'S STAG HOUNDS.—The meet
ing on Monday last was fixed for Dawley-wall, where the gal-
lant deer (named after Prince Albert) was turned out, and
after due law was given, the hounds were laid on ; the hounds
faced the grass for Harrow ; but at Down Farm he cut back
through Cox's Park, and out by the Uxbridge-common side,
where it was back again. This let a great many Macadamizers
in. The deer, now anxious to get to the country, first faced,
cut over by Clarke's Park, and on to Ickenham, a fine open
hunting country towards Ruislip, Eastcoat, and mounting to
Pinner, having in his headings taken the very best of
the Harrow country. After facing.. Pinner he faced thr.:
open country towards Butcher-heath. On clearing the
hill, the deer tried the Marquis of Abercorn's, but the
hounds were not to be shook off; he then cut down hillto Stan-
more, and jumped Drummond's Park, where we had the plea-
sure of seeing him safely taken, after a most brilliant chace
over a fine hunting country, of one hour and thirty minutes.
Lord Kinnaird, Davis, and the whips, were all up
with the
hounds at the take, which was a highly satisfactory one after
so good a run.
Since the secession of Mrs. Glover from the
Olympic, rendered necessary by her engagement at the Hay-
market Theatre, the part of Mrs. Fitzsmyth, so ably sustained
by her in the laughable burletta, The Ladies' Club, has te!ra
taken up by Mrs. Stirling with a degree of talent and slant
that leave no cause to regret her appropriation of the part- it
is indeed an excellent piece of acting, all life and fun and laugh-
ter, and with the exertions of the rest of the corps dramatique
attracts full houses nightly.
THE CASTLE GUARD--ST. PATRICK'SDAY•
—The guard at the Castle was relieved this morning with the
usual parade, but not amidst the same scenes of diabbffie
which have heretofore distinguished the ceremony on the an-
niversary of " the great and good St. Patrick." The band en'
tered the,. Castle-yard playing Patrick's Day—a considerable.
crowd was waiting its arrival, and received it with three cheers*,
The airs were immediately changed, which did not give much
satisfaction to those who expected a dance. After the guard
had been relieved, it moved off playing the favourite tune, and thw
crowd quietly separated. His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant
appeared at the windows ; he was plainly attired, but wore as
his right breast a goodly sized shamrock, on the other a bril-
liant star. His Excellency and party appeared greatly arntlae'l
with the antics of some of the crowd. He was repeatedly an
warmly cheered.—Dublin Evening Post,
ORANGE PROCESSIONS.—At the Antrim As-
sizes Jos. Hamilton and fifteen other persons submitted to an
indictment, charging them with forming part in an Orange pro-
cession on the 12th of July. They were each sentenced to two
months' imprisonment, and to give security for future gam'
conduct.
