We understand that the Marquis of LONDON-
DERRY intends to discontinue the working of his coal
mines at Shiney•row. Several of the workmen have
already been removed to Pittington, and to a new pit
which his Lordship is sinking at Broomside, about a mile
and a half from Durham. The wbole of his Lordship's
collieries have been off work for nearly a week, in conse-
quence, it is said, of some misunderstanding between his
Lordship and the Sunderland fitters.—Sunderland
Herald.

The Earl of DURHAM has NOT visited Paris
since his return from Cherbourg; nor has his Lordship,
that we hear of, any intention of proceeding to the French
capital. When the Noble Earl landed from the Sphynx
he was labouring under severe indisposition, which con-
fined him for some days to his chamber.
THE LATE JAMES WATT.—An inscription,
from the pen of the LORD CHANCELLOR, is now placed
on the pedestal of one of the five statues of JAMES
WATT; it is simple, and to the point :--" This statue
of JAMES WATT, 1 ellow of the Royal Societies of Lon-
don and Edinburgh, and Member of the Institute of
France, is presented by his son to the University of
Glasgow, in gratitude for the encouragement afforded
by its Professors to the scientific pursuits of his father's
early life."—Athenccum.

The Hon. J. Cavendish, proprietor of the
Mayo Telegraph, has been released from the gaol of
Galway, after an imprisonment of nearly six months,
He has paid 2501. to the King, in addition to the other
expenses which law proceedings and the confinement have
entailed on him.—Freeman's Journal.

Considerable improvements are in progress at
Grosvenor-house, which will be opened with suitable
splendour in the ensuing winter. The gallery of pictures
is superior even to that at Bridgewater-house, and is the
finest in the country, but not so accessible to visitors as
the Stafford collection,

Grosvenor•square is now, for the first time,
Macadamizing, the old pavement having been removed for
that purpose. This square, for size and magnificence,
took the lead for several years, but it is at present surpassed
by Eaton square and Beigrave-square, Pimlico, where the
houses are more like palaces than the mansions of private
gentlemen. Grosvenor-square will, however, from its
vincinity to Hyde-park, its airy situation and handsome and
convenient entrances, long retain its fashionable character,
and be a favourite place of residence. _ _

A great sensation has been created in the
town of Abergavenny by the awfully sudden death of Mr.
James Jones, master of the Free School, whilc performing
his official duties on Monday last. Tie had left the
school-room in usual good health, for a minute or two;
on his return, be fell prostrate NI the floor, and almost
instantly expired. About two years since he gained a
Fellowship in Jesus College, Oxford, after a severe contest
with a young man of great classical attainments. Mr.
Jones was 22 years of age.—ltionmouilishire Merlin.
A report has gone the round of the papers,
announcing that the Foreign Ambassadors and their ladies
had received invitations to be present at the entertainments
given by their AIAJESTIES at Windsor Castle to the young
Queen of PORTUGAL and the Duchess of BRAGANZA,
but that not one of them was present, although notes of
invitation to the ladies were in the hand-writing of her
Majesty Queen ADELAIDE. On making inquiries, this
turns out to be another Tory manoeuvre. The visit of
the young Queen of PORTUGAL was a strictly private
one ; and, considering that England, France, and Sweden
are the only three Powers that have publicly recognised
Donna MARIA, it would have been rather indecorous to
have made invitations to the representative of the Autocrat
of Russia, and the Ministers of Prussia, Austria, and
Spain, who are presumed to be favourable to her opponent.

ST. LUKE'S, CHELSEA.—A meeting of the
rate payers of this parish was held yesterday, the Rev.
Mr. LOCKWOOD, the rector, in the chair, for the purpose
of considering whether it would be advisable to adopt
the Act passed last session for better lighting and
watching the parish. It was stated that, by the adoption
of the Act, the burdens of the parish would be much
lessened, and that ultimately, after supplying the public
lamps, a considerable profit would be realized. Instances
were mentioned in which that would be the result, both

THE DUKE OF CUMBERLAND.—A Tory
Paper gives the following reasons for the departure of the
Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND for Berlin with Prince
GEORGE When all advice in England had been ob-
tained for Prince GEORGE, the Duke sent to Berlin for an
boenhose fame is universal on the continent, and
his Royal Highness had himself received the
'nefit upon a former occasion. The Baron, after
the Prince's eyes, declared his hope and belief
might be eventually restored by continued
of a medicinal herb, the use of which he has
frequently adopted with the greatest success. The Duke
of CUMBERLAND, in the anxiety of affection for his son, in-
treated the Baron to remain in England to conduct the
case, and watch its success, and for this purpose, made
him the most noble offers of remuneration, which, how-
ever, the numerous engagements of this popular practi-
tioner in Berlin rendered it absolutely impossible for him
to accept- Under these circumstances, the Duke and
