Majority 4

THE COURT.—Her Majesty and his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert, with the Royal Family, will return to
town from Claremont to-morrow, the Queen having appointed
to hold her second levee this season on Wednesday next;
and on Saturday, according to present arrangements, the
Court will take its departure from Buckingham Palace for
Osborne House. The whole of the infant Royal Family
will accompany their illustrious parents to the Isle of Wight.
Her Majesty, it is stated. will prolong her stay at Osborne
House for three weeks. Indeed it is expected that the Court
will not return to Buckingham Palace until within two or
three days previously to the 25th proximo, on which day
the first drawing. room this year will be held by her Majesty
at St. James's Palace. The Court will afterwards proceed to
Windsor for the Easter holidays, remaining for about a week
or ten days at the castle.
On Saturday a Court of Directors was held at the
East India House, when Lieutenant-General Sir Willoughby
Cotton, G.C.8., was sworn in Commander in-Chief of the
Company's forces, and second member of council on the
Bombay establishment. Sir Willoughby Cotton afterwards
dined with the Directors, at the London Tavern, Bishops..
gate-street, when they were honoured with the company of
the Duke of Buckingham, the Earl of Clare, the Earl of
Charleville, the Earl of Auckland, Viscount Seaham. Lord
Adolphus Vane, the Honourable John Coventry, Sir John
Hobhouse, the Lord Chief Baron, and several civil and mill-

tary officers of high rank.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN THE EXCISE DE-
PARTMENT.—The Lords of the Treasury have for some time
past been in correipundence with the Coinmissioners of Ex-
cise, in reference to the present mode of superannuation of
the officers in that branch of the public service. The present
regulation is, that all officers are compelled to subscribe to
the superannuation fund, and, after a certain number of years'
service, are eligible to become recipients of it on application
being made to the board for that purpose. Of course the
superannuation allowance is a considerable modification of
the remuneration received in active service, and a bar to
any advance ; consequently, few persons apply for it un-
less accident renders them wholly unable to perform their
duties. The sum thus deducted from their salaries, at
death, by the present arrangement, falls into the general
fund, leaving the widow and family of the deceased officer
totally unprovided for. The result of the present corre-
spondence between the Treasury and the Commissioners of
Excise appears to be a proposition that, if at the decease
of any officer he would have been entitled to a retiring allow-
ance, his widow shall enjoy the same amount as he would
have received; and failing a widow, that the direct branches
of his family shall equally share the provision made for
them by their deceased parent. The plan has met with
great approbation by all parties interested.
DREADFUL FRATILICIDE.—On Monday the Sth
current, a few friends had made an appointment tospend the
day together in the house of Allen Dunn, senior, residing
at Fullerton, Tollcross. About five o'clock, the daughter
of the said Allan Dunn, accompanied by her husband, re-
turned home to Mossend, leaving their son and daughter-in-
law in the house of another sister, who lives near to old
Dunn. After spending a short time there, the latter went to
the house occupied by old Dunn, at about half.past five
o'clock, accompanied by Dunn's two sons, William Fell, and
Allan. During the time some ham was getting ready for
them, old Dunn accused his son William with taking money
from his mother the previous day, which irritated the son,
and caused him to lay hold of his father by the nose in
rather a rough manner. The old man cried out to
the other son, "will you see him murder me ?"
when Allan, who was at that time using a
ham knife, laid hold of his brother William and inflicted a
fearful wound on his head with the weapon, and afterward
ran it to the handle into his body immediately above the
heart, which caused instant death. On Allan seeing what he
had done, he at once fled. There was no intimation sent to
the police, although living within a few yards of the house
where the deed was committed, but they heard of it about
nine o'clock, and sent notice to Mr. Holland, the superinten-
dent, who resides in Airdrie, a distance of eight miles. It was
after ten o'clock before the superintendent leard of it, and
he, without &moment's delay, proceeded to the spot,which lie
reached in three quarters of an hour after receiving the re-
port. By that time the officers were on the right track, and
after travelling several miles, they succeeded in appre-
hending Allan Dunn, near olytOwn and had him con-
veyed to Airdrie. Next morning, he ;vas brought up for
examination, and committed to prison, where he now lies.—
