THE KING OF HANOVER:

HANOVER, Nov. 7.—This morning, at an early
hour, the Crown Prince and Princess hastened on
foot to the palace. In the afternoon their children
were taken to their grandfather. In the evening
the English chaplain was in attendance. The Duke
of Cambridge is reported to have arrived during
the day.
HANOVER, Nov. B.—The official bulletin says :
" His Majesty the Bing has had a quieter sight, and
is better than he was yesterday."
HANOVER, Nov. 9.—The state of health of his
Majesty during the last few days has been of a
hopeless nature. On the night between Tuesday
and Wednesday his decease was hourly expected, and
the Crown Prince was sent for. Since yesterday a
change for the better has taken place.
Accounts from Hanover of the 10th state that the
KING had passed a good night, and had regained a
little strength.

The action brought against Mr. David Salomons,
M.P. for Greenwich, will be tried immediately after
this term. The record is entered, and the special
jury are struck. Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Mr. Peacock,
Q.C., and Mr. Willis, will defend Mr. Salomons, and
Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Bramwell will
conduct the prosecution.

THE GRAND POLISH AND HUNGARIAN BALL
AND CONCIXT AT THE GUILDHALL.— THIS EVENING.)—
This magnificent entertainment, we trust, will be attended
by all the lovers of freedom and the admirers of the Hun-
garian leader, Kossuth, who has returned this morning from
Birmingham► to be present on the occasion.
THE LINwooD GALLERY.—Mr. Benson, the ma-
nager of the "Nigger" entertainment at the above place of
amusement, together with the company, is about to visit the
provinces. Previous to their departure, however, they will
give two extra entertainments, this evening and to-morrow,
for the benefit of the artists, when we trust the public will
testify by their attendance the estimation in which thia clever
troupe is held.

The London Sacred Harmonic Society give their
first concert for the season to-morrow evening, at Exeter
Hall, when Handel's Belshazzar will be performed by them
for the first time. Kossuth, whose departure for America is
postponed till the 20th, and if not too fatigued by travelling,
is fully expected to be present, with his suite.

DINNER TO THE HON. B. J. WALKER.—We
understand that it is proposed to invite the Hon. R. J.
Walker, late Secretary to the United States Treasury, and
now in England, to a public dinner on the 24th inst. The
Liverpool American Chamber of Commerce have taken the
initiative in making the necessary arrangements. Buth
Great Britain and the United States are greatly indebted to
this able statesman for having been very instrumental in
obtaining greater facilities for the trade between the two
countries, and in improving the bonding system of the
United States. These measures have been found alike ad-
vantageous to British and American interest, and we believe
Mr. Walker is using all his influence to carry out the same
beneficial policy.
THE HOUSE DUTY.—This revived tax has dis-
closed another " new light" in regard to landlords. They
have, for years, been exacting excessive rents, both in towns
and rural districts, and now that the inhabited house duty
comes to be assessed upon them, out they come with " I'm
charged teo high; my house is not worth to let what I am
assessed at!" Landlords have no objection to get enormous
rents of their tenants, but when they come to be charged a
tax even upon a fair and just amount of rent, directly they
raise a cry of overcharge.
DEATH FROM SUFFOCATION ON LORD MAYOR'S
DAY.—Yesterday an inquest was held by Mr. J. W. Payne,
at the Three Tuna, Smithfield-market, on the body of
Anna Maria Grant, aged four months. The mother of the
deceased, who lived in Sackville-street, Portman-square,
went with the child on Monday to see the Lord Mayor's
Show, when at the end of Farringdon-street some boys sur-
rounded her and the child was suffocated. The jury re-
turned a verdict of "Accidental death."

WESTMINSTER NEW BRIDGE.—A new bridge is
to be erected as near as possible to the present structure.
Notices were, on Tuesday last, given to the inhabitants of
the north end of Bridge-street, Westminster; of Man-
chester-buildings, of Cannon-street, up to the Board of
Control, and of other portions of the east end of Parliament-
street, that Government were prepared to bring in a Bill
this session to pull down their houses to make room for the
new bridge.
CONSUMPTION OF Srians.—lt appears from the
accounts relating to trade and navigation which have just
been issued, that there was a decrease in the consumption of
spirits in the last nine months, compared with the pre-1
ceding year. In the nine months ending the 10th October,
1850, the quantity of spirits—rnm, brandy, and Geneva—
was 3,521,938 gallons ; and in the nine months ending the
10th ult. the quantity entered for home consumption was
3,449,089 gallons, showing a decrease of 72,849 gallons.
Loss spirits were consumed during the time the Great Ex-
hibition Was nea thaw irk the pocediPli Year.
