ARRIVAL OF VISITORS.

During the whole of yesterday unusual bustle and ex-
citement prevailed at the metropolitan termini of the
several railways, in consequence of the large influx of
visitors, who arrived by hundreds in every train from
the early morning mail until the last train at night, in
addition to those who travelled by special trains. By
the North-Western Railway the extra passengers ex-
ceeded 5,000; and those who arrived by the Great West-
ern are estimated at nearly 3,000 more than the ordinary
number. Additional carriages had to be attached to all
the up trains on the several lines of railway, and in
many instances two engines were required to impel the
monster trains. The Great Northern, Eastern Counties,
South-Western, and South-Eastern (London and Dover)
railways had a large amount of passenger traffic. Those
who arrived by the two lines last mentioned were prin-
cipally passengers by the Ostend, Calais, Boulogne,
Havre, and Dieppe steam-boats. Large musters of the
swell mob were in attendance at the various termini,
but owing to the excellent precautionary arrangements of
the railway and metropolitan police, their exploits were
very limited. The steam-vessels from Rotterdam, Ham-
burgh, Antwerp, Hull, Edinburgh, &c., which arrived in
the river, were unusually crowded with passengers, so
that, on a moderate calculation, the number of persons
who arrived yesterday by different conveyances could
not have been less that 50,000. In the vicinity of the
termini there is scarcely a bedroom unlet.

ceed in forming another; we seldom imitate what we do not
love.—Eliza Cook's Journal.
CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES.—The great
match for the championship of the Thames, between Robert
Coombes and Thomas Mackinney, will take place on Wed-
nesday next, from Putney to Mortlake. The race, which
creates considerable interest, is appointed for six in the
evening, and from the well known equality of the men a first
rate contest may be anticipated. Citizen J has been char-
tered by the Messrs. Serle for the accommodation of the
Elite, and will accompany the boats throughout.
SUDDEN DEATH OF THE DUCHESS OF KENT'S
GARDENEIL—On Tuesday an inquest was held at the Town
Hall, Windsor, by Thomas Marlin, Esq., coroner for the
borough, on the body of George Young, many years gAr-
clener to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. It ap-
peared that deceased, whilst in the roybl gardens, suddenly
dropped down, and died instantaneously. Mr. Eton having
made a post-ntortem examination of the body, deposed that
death was caused by the rupture of a vessel of the heart.
Verdict accordingly.
The Duke of Beaufort, according to inquiries last
evening in Arlington-street, was convalescent. The Mar-
-1 quis and Marchioness

The Duke and Duchess of Montrose and family
have arrived at Rome from Leghorn, where they laned
