London, England, 1846-10-08 00:00:00

We have some hesitation in prefixing the aboveihend-
ing to the details of an event which probably,rdight be•
more correctly described as a marriage anticipated. '1 0
those of outreaders_conversant-with- lie movements of
the fashionable world, the engagement of the Lady Rose
Somerset, fourth daughter of the Duke and Duchess of
Beaufort, to Captain Francis Lovell (of the tst Life
Guards), will have been long since familiar. The ex-
treme youth of her Ladyship (who only completed ht r
seventeenth year in February last) has, we believe, been
the sole objection offered by her noble parents to the
ratification of the desired union. Captain Lovell's posi-
tion as the representative of an old English family was
such as to render him in every respect a worthy suitor
for her Ladyship's hand, and the Gallant Officer, up
to the latest moment, had been a constant and welcome
visitor at the hospitable table of the Noble Duke. Per-
haps this citcumstance, more than any other, will be
calculated to excite a feeling cf regret when the s: (pet
becomes known. In order to set ut test any exagget a e d
rumours on the sulject, we append a briet d: tali of tl.e
eitcumstuP,c«.s as they base reached us. Withuu:, vouch-
ing for its literal accuracy, we believe the sol.: I
statement will be found substantially cornet :—,.
Ladies Blanche and Rost 'Somerset, with tin it ycutl I

;joined

sisters, have been staying at Badminton sonic days,
during the absence of their noble parents, who have
been on a visit to Sir Charles Morgan, at the Hon.
Baronet's seat, Tredtgar, Monmouthshire. On Friday
evening the family retired to rest at the usual
.N,,thir.g had occurred up to this time to excite the
slightest tuspicion of the intention of the Lt.dy rose to
gait her home, but at seven o'clock on Swan-day worn-
nig, when the attendants, as usual, went up stairs to call
her Ladyship, she was not to be. four.d. Fur some
short time little anxiety was felt on the :abject, hat
a closer inspection of her Lad,yshiP's" boudoir discovered

from one of the drawing-rooms on to the lawn—of which
none of the domestics could give any account—increased
this feeling, and further inquiries placed the fact of her
Ladyship's departure beyond a doubt. An express was
instantly sent off to the Duke and Duchess, and so ad-
mirably was it arranged, that the intelligence reached
their liraces in Monmouthshire in less than three hours
from the time of leaving Badminton. The Duke and
Duchess of Beaufort arrived at Badminton the same
evening. The communication addressed by the Lady
Rose to her noble parents frankly disclosed to whose
protection she had resigned herself, and we hope we may
add that the anxiety of the Noble Duke and Duchess
was thus in some degree relieved. The destination of
the truant pair is believed to have been the Scottish
border.—Post.

The following have been posted at Lloyd's:—
" Hydrographic• office, Admiralty, Sept. 24, 1846.
"BALTIC.—GOTHLAND SOUTH-WEST .LIGHT.
" On the Ist of October next a revolving light will be
established on Refsudden Point, on the south-west extremity
of the island of Gothland, in latitude 56 deg. 56 min. N., and
longitude 18 deg. 9 min. E. The light will continue bright
for half a minute, and will then be eclipsed for an interval of
a minute and a half. The lantern is 56 feet high, and the
light 166 feet above the level of the sea, so that it may be
seen at the distance of seventeen miles."
" Hydrographic-office, Admiralty, Sept. 29.
"COAST OF PORTUGAL.—ALTERATION OF PENICHE
LIGHT.
" Information has been received by her Majesty's Govern-
ment that on the 16th of this month the revolving light of
Peniche, on the coast of Portugal, was converted into a
fixed light, with the object of enabling seamen to distinguish
it from the revolving light of the Berling Islands, and from
the projected revolving light which is in course of construc-
tion on Cape St. Vincent."
" Danish Consulate, London, Oct. 5.
" Instead of the Old Lantern on Thirnal Lighthouse, there
has been placed in the present summer (in the way announced
in the notice dated 4th of July this year), a new one of
metal, with smaller window-frames and large panes of glass,
by means of which the light can be sees better than hitherto.
And, also, from the 10th of this month, instead of the
old reflecting apparatus, a magnifying apparatus of the fourth
order has been used, which stands 1% feet higher than the
former light, or in the whole 981/ feet above the sea, and
lights the horizon to a distance of about thde Danish miles
round.
" The light is kept burning the same as formerly through-
out the year.

PRICE or GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 16 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. Paid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 555 ; and the exchange at Paris on
London at short being 25 77i' it follows that gold
is 0.87 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4354
per mark, which, atthe English Mint price of 31.175. 10i d.
per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13104-;
and the exchange at Hamburgh on Loudon at short
being 13 104, it follows that gold is 0.06 per cent. dearer
in London than in Hamburgh. The course of ex-
change at New York on London is 1094 .per cent.,
and the par of exchange between England and '
America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows
that the exchange is 0.33 per cent. against England. ,
i But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills
i at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from
the above difference.
