DOVER, Nov.lB.

His hlajesty's steam ship Salamander arrived here on
Saturday, from Guernsey, with the depot of the 73d
Regiment, which is to remain in garrison here, and this
day the depot companies of the 2d Battalion Rifle Brigade,
under command of Major, the Marquis Douro, embarked
on board the Salamander, for Guernsey. They have
been quartered in Dover a considerable period, and by
their orderly and soldierlike conduct have acquired the
respect and esteem of the inhabitants.
The Salamander proceeded down Channel this after-
noon with fair wind and fine weather.

Earl Durhrm and his family are still at
Lsmbton Castle, and are expected to remain there over

It is asserted that Earl Talbot has at length
purchased the Tixel estate by private contract, for a sum

H. S. Plumptre, Minister of St. Mary's Chapel, Lam•
both, in the room of the Rev. T. Pope, deceased.
Belzoni's widow, it is said, still lingers in
want ; not much to the credit, we should say, of those
who have ample means to bestow on far less deserving
objects.

The Conservative Club has taken possession
of the whole of the @pace so long vacant on the south side
of Pall-mall, and the necessary excavations for their new
mansion are already commenced. The terms upon which
they have t tken this ground of the public, have not yet
transpired.
The Members of the University of Oxford
are beginning to look about for a successor to Lord
Grenville in the Chancellorship of that University. Various
persons have been named, including the Dukes of Beaufort
and Wellington, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Lords
Eldon, Sidmouth, and Carlisle.

Mr. Stanley is about to pay his Noble rela-
tives in the North another visit. The Right Hon. Secre-

Knowsley, the seat of the Earl of Derby, and Latham,
the residence of Lord Skehnersdale (his father-in-law).
The new Under Secretary for the Colonial Department,
Mr. Shaw Lefevre, jun., appointed by Mr. Stanley, on
the resignation of Viscount Ho wick, will perform, in
conjunction with Mr. Hay, the other Under Secretary,
all the routine duties of the Right Hon. Gentleman during
his absence.

Considerable importance is attached to the
deliberations of the Cabinet Council, held yesterday, at
Brighton, and many reports were in circulation last night
at the club-houses. Among others, that of a partial
change in the Administration was most freely spoken of.
" It is a great merit in Lady****'s new Novel
of Trevelyan' that the characters which give the truth
and freedom of life to the incidents of her story, are not,
as has been of late too often the case, mere generalisations
distinguished from each other only by name, but portraits
standing distinct from one another, and having each its
own strongly marked qualities. They are, in the best sense
of the word, dramatic. Witness the finished pictures of the
rigid precision, Lady Augusta, and of the gentle, benevo-
lent, old maid, Miss Trevelyan. The worthy sisterhood
of spinsters cannot be too thankful to the authoress for the
latter exquisite sketch."—Standard.
MAIL-COACH ACCIDENT.—On Friday
night a serious accident, though happily not attended
with loss of life, occurred to the South Mail. At Nairn
the frost became sharp and the road so slippery, that the
horses immediately after leaving the town got frightened
and broke into a gallop. In endeavouring to pull them
up, one of the reins gave way, and the coachman pulled
the whole to the right side of the road, almost upsetting
the coach, and was himself thrown from his seat. Left
thus to themselves, the horses got into the road again,
and set off at full gallop. Sir Francis A. Mackenzie, of
Gairloch, Bart., was the only inside passenger. A girl
was on the box, and the guard behind. At this furious
rate the horses continued for about two miles, going
through the toll-bar, and taking every turn themselves,
till, coming to a little hill near Auldearn, the guard advised
Sir Francis to take that opportunity of Jumping out,
which he did without being seriously hurt. The coach
was upset beyond Auldearn, having fallen down a 'link
14 or 15 feet high. Mr. Macpherson, the guard, was
much bruised and cut, the girl was unhurt, but the horses
were in a horrid state, one fine grey having both legs
broken. In about an hour the coachman came up, and
with the assistance of some people from Auldearn got the
coach on the road. Sir Francis and the guard proceeded
to Forres with the mail bags in the clergyman's gig. No
blame can be attributed either to driver or guard. Indeed
the latter did his duty nobly, and stuck to his charge,
when, by dropping down behind, he might have escaped
unhurt.—lnverness Courier.

The North Mail now starts from Inverness
an hour earlier—at half-past nine o'clock p.m., instead of
half-past ten o'clock.
