and are almost daily in public. Yesterday, the King took
an airing in his carriage with Lady Adelaide Hay, to
Shoreham.
The Queen took her favourite exercise on horseback, ac-
companied by a numerous suite, including Colonel Sir Charles
Thornton, Sir Philip and Lady Sophia Sidney, Earl and

Royal cortege proceeded on the Downs, where they enjoyed
themselves for nearly two hours, and then returned by the

late Samuel Latham, Esq.

We understand that Sir Charles Knightley is al-
rcady in the field for Northamptonshire, and it is added that
neither Whig, Liberal, nor Radical will be found sufficiently
bold to oppose the worthy Baronet. —Morning Paper.
A correspondent from Cambridge assures us that he
fees confident that should Mr.
spring Rice succeed to the
Chancellorship of the Exchequer, he will be returned again
for Cambridge, notwithstanding the great strength of the
supporters of Sir Edward Sudden.
The Duchess Countess of Sutherland has arrived
on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, at Tren-
tham Hall, Staffordshire, thence she will proceed on a visit
to her daughter the Countess Grosvenor, at Motcombe House
Dorset. Her Grace will not return to her castle of Dunrobin,
near Dornoch, until the ensuing summer. On her way south

The Ottoman Envoy (his Excellency Namik Paella)
accompanied by Captain Jones of the engineers, returhed on
Tuesday to the Carlton-hotel, Regent-street, from a visit to
the Government works at Chatham. Some interesting expe-
riments and displays of the art of attack and defence, under the
direction of Colonel Pasley, were made before his Excellency.

It is no small aggravation of the apprehended evils
of the Poor Law Act, that its provisions are to be put in force
at the beginning of the Winter. Where would be the harm,
even now, to suspend its operation till the Spring, by which
time its machinery will be better prepared, and the really poor
in a better state to encounter its effects upon them ?

The Bat* of England has, through neglect, expe.l
riented; a robbery, which has already been highly injurious to
several money-changers in Paris, and which must make all
French merchants apprehensive in their negotiations with
England. A clerk in the Bank has stolen a large quantity of
good bank-notes not signed, and the signatures have subse-
quently --been forged. The money-changers in Paris, igno-
rant of the theft, have been the dupes of their confidence,
having purchased notes to the amount of from 35,000 to
40,000 francs, which have been refused payment by the
Bank. The public should be warned by this event and take
no English Bank paper in future, until they are assured. that
all the notes lately stolen have been presented—Gazette de
France.

Miss Landon is said to have adopted for some of
the earlier scenes of her new work of fiction the roman-
tic and lovely land of Italy, and, judging by the title of
her story, " Francesca Carrara," to have made her hero an
Italian. This is as it should be. The genius of this accom-
plished writer fits her to develope the grace, the passion,
and the sentiment which find their home in an Italian bosom,
while her inventive powers are equal to the construction of d
plot in harmony with the picturesque beauty of that radiant
clime, and abounding with the mysterious and striking inci-
dents congenial to it.
THE SUPERB.—There seems to be little ground
left for hoping that the Superb steamer, respecting which so
much anxiety has been felt, has escaped destruction. A house
of the first rate respectability in Hamburg received this morn-
ing a letter from Norden, East Friesland, dated the 4th inst.,
from which the following is an extract :—" Information has
just been brought me that at Juist the stern of a longboat has
been found, with ' Superb, of London, Captain Ridden Major,
painted upon it.'—Hamburg Reporter, Nov. 6.
Lieutenant Arlett, commanding the ./Etna, has been
directed to take under his orders the Raven cutter, Lieute-
nant Kellett, and proceed to Madeira and Teneriffe, where
they will remain a few days for the purpose of regulating their
chronometers; they will then continue the survey of the coast
of Africa to the northward of Cape Bojador, after which they
will proceed 'with the general survey of the coast, from Cape
Bojador to the Straits of Gibraltar, and when finished will re-
turn to Spithead.—Devonport Telegraph.
Tim WINDOW DUTIES.—It is not generally
known that all persons assessed to the window duty are, by an
Act passed the last Session of Parliament, empowered imme-
diately to open, free of extra duty, any additional number of
iadows in their dwelling-houses. But if any new building
be attached to a dwelling-house, or any communication be
opened with any adjoining premises, the windows in the same
will be charged with the duties already assessed. The same
exemptions will apply to, persons not assessed, by reason of their
being less than eight windows (exclusive of the front shop
windows) in their respective dwelling-houses. Composition
for window duties will entirely cease on the sth of April next.
The above important exemption will prevent surveyors from
making surcharges on such duties. •
NEW SOUTH WALES...—Mr. Bennett's new works
64 Wanderings in New South Wales, Batavia, Pedir Coast,
Singapore, and China," is a. very valuable addition to the
books which have recently appeared in New South Wales. It
is full of information, which none but an accurate and enthu-
siastic observer could have collected. The details relate to
every point of any importance connected with the colony, and
these are brought down to the latest possible period. In his
opinions the author is without prejudice, and we therefore re-
gard his suggestions, on whatever question, as highly important.
Mr. Bennett's work is a journal of observations on every sub-
ject that presented itself, in a voyage out to New South Wales,
and during his residence in that country.
CORPORATION COMMISSION.—The Corporation
Commissioners met on Tuesday at Fishmongers' Hall to in-
v.:stigate the affairs of the Fishmongers' Company. Mr.
Alderman Wood, the Prime Warden, and several other mem-
bers of the Corporation, attended to give information. It
appeared that this Company has no Master. The King for-
merly was the Master, but that practice having been discon-
tinued, no other Master had been elected. In the course of
the inquiry Mr. Emmock, a liveryman, asserted that almost all
the members of the Court were Dissenters, and that the Prime
Warden himself was an Unitarian. Alderman Wood said,
You know nothing about the matter, Sir. It is highly im-
proper to make broad assertions of this nature." The purchase
money of a freedom in this Company is 105/. Nothing of
importance transpired during the inquiry.
WARD OF FARRINGDON WlTHlN.—Yesterday
afternoon a Wardmote wa,s holden at the late College of Phy-
sicians, Warwick-lane; Newgate-street, for the election of a
Common Councilman for the remainder of the year 'in the

oa this occasion were William Faulkner, Esq., an attorney
(the clerk of the Sadlers' Company), and Mr. Geo. Bowles,
salesman, of Newgate- street, and sole proprietor of the White
Conduit House Tavern and Tea-gardens, Islington. The
Alderman took a show of hands, and declared the election to
have fallen unanimously upon Mr. Faulkner.
A vessel is announced as about to sail from Li-
verpool, on a voyage round the world, in which cabin passen-
gers may be accommodated at 150/. ; and that similar trips are
to take place every six weeks.
