STATE VISIT TO TEIE OPERA.-4t is said that Mr.
Gye, the director of the Royal Italian Opera, has been in-
formed that her Majesty will visit the Royal Italian Operas
in state, previous to the Court leaving town.
PAISPOR1:11 FOB, PRLESIA.—WE are requested to
state that evtry English suijeit will be henceforth admitted
into the Prussian dominions upon :Aiming a pasaport front
the competent British authorities, without any visa of a
Prussian Legation or Consulate, as was hitherto required.
LIBERALITY OF TRH MARQUIS Or CHANDOS.—Wre
have much pleasure in recording an act of liberality on the
part of the Marquis of Chandos, which we hope to see ex-
tensively followed by other influential persons in this town
and county. On Thursday last upwards of forty children
arrived at the Aylesbury station of the North-Western Rail-
way from Wotton, for the purpose of being conveyed to
London to visit tho Great Exhibition. The children left
Wotton at an early hour, in waggons, which remained for
them until their return from London in the evening. The
female portion of the visitors were attired in red cloaks, and
a more happy or pleasant sight can scarcely be imagined.
The whole of the expense attendant on the conveyance to
town and adini•sion to the Crystal Palace was defrayed by
the Noble Marquis; and on Thursday next, we understand
a similar treat will be atibrded the agri, ultural labourers
from Stowe and neighbourhood, to the number of sixty.--. Bucks herald.

-7,4C6 to London, and 6,923 from London.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT BLACKFEIARS-BRIDGE.—
Yesterday 'afternoon, between three and four o'clock, a por-
tion of the scaffold under the fourth arch of Blackfriars-
bridge, on which three men were standing, gave way. Two
of them rnahaged to cling to the tin,bers , ill assivance
reached them ; but the third, John Phelps, fell. In his de-
scent his head struck the abutment, and dashed out his
brains. Boats put off, but the body was not recovered.
PAPAL APPOINTMENTS.—At the last accounts,
Archbish op Hughes had reached Part,, on his way home
from Rome, wit bout that red hat. The Pope has behaved
very shabbily to our New York prelate. Instead of giving
him a hat—a Cardinal's hat (even an old hat Iv( ul have
done)—bis Holiness only gave him a fish. The Pope was
more polite to Mrs. Bennett, when she last visited the
Eternal City, His Holiness presented to that lady a beau-
tiful cameo portrait of himself; and a plenary indulgence,
signed by his own hard, for hr husband. Unfortur.

and the girths being
la se, the unfortunate rider andwater the
saddle fell over the pony's head into the water. In that
state he was discovered by a neighbi,ur, beating on be th sides
of the saddle, evidently thinking that he was on his pony,
amiss," nd occasionally calling at the top of his voice, Get up,
" Get up, Betsy." It was not until a long time had
elapsed that his friend succeeded in persuading him that he
had ~nly a saddle under him.— Welshman.

A PUZZLER —A. domestic, newly engaged, pre-
sented to his master, one morning, a pair of boots, the leg
of one of which was much longer than the other. "BeW
comes it, you rascal, that theme boots are not of the same
length ?" " I really don't know, sir, but what bothers Ina
the most is, that the pair down stairs are in the same fix.
THE POTENTIAL YooD.—An Oxford student
joined without invitation a party dining at an inn, after
which he boasted so much of his abilities, that one of the
party said, "You have told us enough of what you can
tell us something you cannot do." " Faith," said he,
cannot pay my share of the reckoning."
Letters from Rouen state that there was greater
activity in the market for manufactures, and that in some
cases higher prices had been obtained.
