THE PAVILION AT BRIGHTON.--We stated last week
that 57 hampers of wine had been removed from the
Palace, and conveyed by railway to London. Since
that time further removals have taken place ; and, dur-
ing the last fortnight, the few domestics remaining at
the Palace have been busily employed in packing up the
china and glass. The kitchen has been nearly stripped
of its contents ; and although the furniture is not yet
removed, it will evidently soon follow. The organ at
present remains untouched. Most of the servants on
the establishment are to be draug hted to other places ;
and they have already received notice to that effect.
Our readerA may gather from these facts that her Ma-
jesty does not intend to visit the Palace after her return
from Arundel, as was lately stated in the London
papers.
—Brighton Gazette.
We understand that Colonel Wylde is about to
proceed to Portugal, for the purpose of furnishing to
the Government information upon the state of the dis-
turbed districts in that country. Some addition, we
believe, will be made to the British fleet in the Tagus.
Although the state of affairs in Portugal may not be
such as to justify any apprehension that the tranquillity
of the country will be seriously disturbed, yet credit is
due to the Government for the promptitude with which
they adopt such precaution as, without giving cause for
jealousy or suspicion, may tend to prevent danger ; or,
should it arise, be sufficient for the protection of British
subjects and property.—Chronicle.

FOREIGN POTATOES.—The following are among
the latest arrivals of potatoes from abroad, the mention

f resentw hie
htiwmiell,
hientnereebstßintg,y,, andarived at the port of Hull
from St. Petersburg, brought 27 bags, the produce of of importance at the
Russia ; the Marys from Jersey, at this port, two pack-
ages, the produce of that island ; the Giraffe, from
Rotterdam, 15 baskets, the produce of Holland ; a ves-
sel, named La Providence, an entire cargo, comprising
10 tons weight, from Boulogne, the produce of France ;
the Ocean, from Rotterdam, 20 baskets, the growth of
Holland ; and the Navigateur, from Dunkirk, an entire
cargo, consisting of the very large quantity of 110 tons
weight of the article, the production of Normandy.
We believe that some other arrivals have taken place,
but the above are those which appear most deserving of
an especial notice.
CONSULTATION PER TELEGRAPH.--The services of
the electric telegraph between Norwich and Shoreditch
were put into requisition on Thursday in a novel man-
ner, beingmeans of communication
made the _ . between a
physician in London and his patient in the former place.
On Wednesday Dr. a celebrated obstetric physi-
cian, was sent for front London to attend a lady, lying
there in a dangerous state ; on his return to town, leav-
ing instructions to the medioal attendant to convey in-
formation of the state of the patient the next morning
by means of the telegraph. This was promptly done on
Thursday morning,
and the prescription was as promptly
returned. This, it would appear, was repeated more
than once, the services of the telegraph being continued
for four hours. Unhappily the telegraph completed its
communications by tvimpunoing the decal of the lady.
