VISITORS 'FROM CHINA.—The list of foreign visi-
tors to this country, who have been attracted hither by the
Great Exhibition, has just received a very novel addition by
the arrival of a Chinese family of rank, per the Lady Pea,
direct from Canton. These interesting personages consist of
a Chinese gentleman of the name of Chung-attai, and his
wife Ahap, accompanied by her two sisters, and attended by
a female domestic. The three ladies possess the genuine
small feet constituting the peculiar characteristic of the
higher class of females in the Celestial Empire. These deni-
zens of the flowery land had hoped to have reached England in
time to be present at the opening of the Great Exhibition,
but their arrival has been much retarded by contrary winds.
Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to convey her royal
commands to the ladies, through Colonel Phipps, that they
will take an early opportunity of proceeding to Osborne for
the purpose of being introduced to her Majesty, and they
leave London for that purpose in a day or two.

COURTSHIP BY ADVERTISEMENT.—SOIIIe time ago
a shoemaker in Harris being in want of a wife advertised
for one, and at the time and place appointed was met by
a female. Both were in earnest. The shoemaker, how-
ever, unluckily seemed to be of the same opinion that
King Pedro was with regard to his wife, Mary of Arra-
gon, that she was not so handsome as she might be good,
so their meeting ended in mutual disappointment. The
man advertised a second time, appointing a different
place for the meeting, and varying the words of the adver-
tisement. He met the same la.ty, they recognised each
other, could not choose but smile at the recognition, and,
perhaps, neither of them could choose but sigh. The per-
severing bachelor tried his lot a third time, and at the third
place of appointment he met the equally persevering
spinster. At this meeting neither could help laughing.
They began to converse in good humour; and the conversa-
tion became so agreeable on both sides, and the circumstance
BO remarkble, that this third interview led to a marriage.—

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT ON THE THAMES, OFF
RlCllMoND.—Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at
Mr. Styles's, the Coach and Horses Inn, laleworth, before
Mr. T. M. Wakley, the deputy coroner for Middlesex, upon
the body of George Phoeby, aged fifteen, a page in the ser-
vice of Mrs. Collier Dawkins, of Ivy-house, Lower Rich-
mond-road, who was unfortunately drowned opposite the
Marquis of Ailsa's villa, on Sunday afternoon last. The de-
ceased had been in Mrs. Dawkins' service just a twelvemonth
on Sunday last. On the afternoon of that day he was sent
by his mistress to church, but instead of attending Divine
service, he went with two other boys to Chitty, a waterman,
and hired a boat. They had proceeded across the river, and
were in front of the Marquis of Ailsa's house and grounds
when deceased was fixing the rudder and leaning over, as
one of the boys pulled an oar, which caused the deceased to
be precipitated into the water, and he never rose again. The
two boys rowed back to Richmond-bridge, and watermen
proceeded with drags, when, after two hours search, the de-
ceased's body
