DR. HAMPDEN AND THE SEE OF HEREFORD.—
Dr. Hampden will be confirmed Bishop of Hereford on
Tuesday next, at 11 o'clock, at Bow Church. We
believe that the day on which the consecration will take
place is not yet fixed.
ROYAL MAnutAuas.---The marriage is announced
of the youngest son of the King of Sardinia with one of
the daughters of Duke John, Hereditary Prince of the
Kingdom of Saxony. The union of the Princess Louisa
of Prussia with the Prince Royal of Sweden has been
lately spoken of at Berlin. There is also some talk of a
marriage between the Princess Caroline, born in 1833,
only daughter of the Prince de Wasa, and granddaughter
of the predecessor of Bernadotte, with the Prince Fran.
cois Oscar of Sweden.

WINDSOR, FRIDAY EVENINCL—Every preparation
has been made for the reception of the Court at Clare-
mont next week ; but it is not likely that the Court will
remain there more than a week or ten days. His Royal
Highness Prince Albert has, for some years, been in the
habit of concluding his shooting season at Claremont,
and whilst there a large portion of the produce of the
sport is daily forwarded to the palace at Lacken. On
' this occasion the game is more than usually abundant.
From Claremont the Court will return to Windsor Castle
on or about the 15th or 17th instant, and remain at the
Castle until the middle of March, when it will remove to
Buckingham Palace, in expectation of the royal ac-
couchement taking place at that time.
PROPOSED NEW ROAD FROM LAMBETH PALACE TO
VAUXHALL.—At a vestry meeting of the parish of
Lambeth, held yesterday, it was resolved:--" That a
committee be formed for the purpose of waiting upon
the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to suggest the
contemplated improvements, by opening a new line of
road from Vauxhall to Lambeth Church, and otherwise
promoting the sanitary state of that unhealthy vicinity,
and to take their advice as to the best way of raising the
necessary funds."
MR. HOWITT'S NEW WORK, " THE HALL AND
THE HAMLET."—Here are two entertaining volumes by
Mr. Howitt—having the raciness and value of charac-
teristic nationality, and in many passages the grace of
eloquent and picturesque description. There are few
who know the rural life of England better than the
author; and seeing that its forms and features bid fair
to undergo an entire change even while we look on, a
faithful record of them has more than a fictitious value.
The first volume consists of an interesting tale, entitled
" The Yorkshire Family." There is much love in it of
the generous kind—self-sacrifice—many vicissitudes of
fortune, and some nice markings of character. Mr.
Howitt has entire command over country folks, with
their bewilderment and shrewdness—their credulity and
strong sense—their awkward kindness and hospitality—
their warm and homely feeling. The book deserves a
place in the library of fiction, not far from the village
books of Miss Mitford.—Atheneum.
APPOINTMENT IN PRINCE ALBERT'S HOUSEHOLD.
—Dr. Meyer, a medical practitioner of considerable re-
pute in Germany, has been appointed domestic physician
to his Royal Highness Prince Albert. It is understood
that, at times, the Prince Consort labours under an
affection of the lungs. The situation of one of the
yaghers in the household of the Prince, rendered vacant
by Mr. Lawley being appointed a page of the presence
to her Majesty, is not intended, at present, to be filled up.
MR. MACREADY AND THE READING OP " Arm-
GONE" AT WINDSOR CASTLE.—This eminent tragedian
was first applied to to read the tragedy of Antigone be-
fore her Majesty and the Court at Windsor Castle on
New Year's day. Mr. Macready, however, having very
respectfully declined the task, Mr. Bartley was next ap-
plied to, and consented to undertake it. We under-
stand that Mr. Macready would have had no objection
to have read before her Majesty any drama which might
have been selected, of a tragic character, provided it was
not interspersed, as in the case of Antigone, with music
and choruses.

HAYMARKET TLIRATRE.—Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Kean will make their rentre on Monday, in a new five-
act play, written expressly for them by Mr. Lovel, the
author of The Provost of Bruges.
SHFLLS AND BALLS.--A VectTl arrived in the
Lonuou Dock irom Ouessa, with 1,700 quarters of wheat
and other merchandise, had on board 4,945 old iron
shells and balls, consigned to order.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL INEWb.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was well
supported at the previous rates. Railway Shares were
more amimated, and prices were generally much better.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool for the week have
been 24,880 bales. The stock is 419,800 bales against
363,060 bales at the corresponding period of last year.
The following are the leading points;in the Bank of
England return for the week to the Ist inst:—

The letters by the last Indian mail have been delivered
to-day, but their contents have been principally antici-
pated by the information, as to the state of the markets,
&c., in the columns of The Sun.
The quarterly dividends are row in the course of
liquidation at the Bank of England. The recipients were
numerous.
The most prominent feature in the Money Market
to-day, is a fall in the value upon advances to three per
cent. Consols for the Account have only fluctuated
from 86 to 864. A good deal of business has been
transacted in Exchequer-bills at an improvement from
17s. to 21s. Bank Stock has reached from 189 to 191.
India Bonds have been sold at 12s. to 13s. premium ; and
the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 87i. In
Consols for the Account a bargain has been reported at
86i after our previous remarks were written.
The only bargains in the former on the Stock Ex-
change were in Brazilian—small—at 80i ; in the Mexi-
can at 17i ; in the Dutch Two-and-a Half per Cents. at
544 ; and in the Four per Cent. Bonds at 841.
The Railway Share Market has a more favourable
appearance this morning, but still purchasers are rather
deficient in point of numbers.
