Orders were received on Saturday at the
apartments of the Duchess of Kent, Kensington-gardens,
to postpone their being got ready for her Royal Highness
and the Princess Victoria, as they intend to continue a
fortnight longer in the country in consequence of the very
favourable weather; and directions were received at the
same time to have the apartments painted throughout, for
which purpose 30 painters are to be employed forthwith.
A letter of the 2d inst. from Calais, announces

Lightning. The Royal party were to continue their
journey for Prussia on the following day by way of Valen-

An unfounded statement has appeared relative
to preparations making for the arrival of the Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge at their town residence in Picea-
dilly. The story is a complete fabrication : no prepara-
tions have been made in Cambridge House; neither is it
at all probable that the Duchess would undertake the
journey from Hanover in her present situation.
The Duke of Beaufort is at present on a visit
to George Finch, Esq., M.P., at Burley on the Hill, Rut-
landshire.
The Duke of Rutland and the Marquis of
Granby are at present sojourning at Belvoir Castle, where
they daily take the exercise of shooting. Lady Adeliza
Manners is also at Belvoir.
The Duke de Montfort (Jerome Bonaparte),
it appears, is about to fix his residence at Stuttgard, as he
has just bought an hotel in that capital.
The Earl of Eldon, Sir R. Peel, and the
Marquis of Chandos, came to town suddenly and unex-
pectedly to take leave of the Duke of Cumberland, previ-
ously to his departure for Berlin. These persons were not
included in the invitations to the grand banquet given by
the Duke of Wellington at Walmer Castle to the Royal
Duke and his Conservative friends the day before he left
England. Mr. and Mrs. Arbuthnot were, however, at the
feast.

THE WILL OF THE LATE DUKE OF
SUTHERLAND.—The will and three codicils of the Right
Hon. George Granville Leveson Gower, Duke of Sutherland,
have been proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury,
by the oath of his eldest son, the present Duke, who is the
sole executor. The personal effects of the Noble Duke
have been sworn as amounting to more than one million
sterling. Therefore, in conformity to the Act of Parliament
regulating the probate and administration duties, the maxi-
mum being one million, all sums beyond that amount are
not subject to probate duty. Within the last few years
there have been several instances in which a large property
has escaped without being subject to this tax. For instance,
the late Mr. Runde!l died worth about 1,200,0001. personal
property, hut the representatives only paid duty upon one
million ; and the property of the late Sir Robert Peel was
similarly situated. After providing for the Dowager
Duchess, and the other parts of his femily, together with
his servants, his Grace bequeaths the residue of his estate
to his eldest son, the present Duke. York House, the
property of his Grace, is entailed upon the Marquis of
Stafford.

whose high reputation as a musical composer has been
established by many superior works, particularly his over-

The Rev. J. R. Major, of King's College,
who resigned his pretensions to the Stamford Free School,
in consequence of the dispute between the Mayor and the
Master of St. John's College, Cambridge, has become a
candidate for Norwich Grammar School.
APPROACHING MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.
--A marriage is understood to be in contemplation between
the Hon. Henry Wellesley, eldest son of Lord Cow?ey,
and the Hon. Olivia Cecilia De Roos, Maid of Honour to
the Queen. This young lady is second daughter of the
late Lord Henry Firl-gerald and 13ironess De Roos, in
whose favour the Barony was called out of abeyance in
1506, and sister to the present Lord. The marriage will
be solemnized here, and after the ceremony the bride and
bridegroom will depart for Stuttgard, to which place Mr.
Wellesley was recently appointed Secretary of Legation.
A splendid trousseau for the bride elect, at the expense of
her Majesty, has been for some time in preparation by a
celebrated modiste of Grosvenor-street. It is understood
to be the etiquette of the Court, on the marriage of the
Maids of Honour, for the Queen to present them with a
liberal sum for the bridal outfit.
Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of
Kent and the Princess Victoria, having announced their
intention of visiting the Royal Clarence Victualling Esta-
blishment at Weovil, in order to see the whole process of
baking biscuits for the Navy, as also of witnessing the gun
practice on board his Majesty's ship Excellent, fixed Friday
for that purpose, and, the weather proving delightfully
propitious, Ibis charming seaport, which can boast of
more attraction than any in the kingdom, was again all
bustle and animation--visiters to witness the gay scene
pouring in from all directions. At eleven o'clock a Guard
of Honour from the Royal Marinei, with their King's
colours, under the command of Captain Menzies, K.H.,
marched into the dockyard, and took post at the King's
Stairs, followed by all the troops in the garrison, forming
an avenue from thence to the house of the Admiral Super-
intendent, Sir Frederick Maitland. Shortly after eleven
o'clock the Emerald yacht, bearing the Royal Standard,
and towed by the Messenger steamer, passed up the har-
bour ; the 'Victory and other ships of war, as they passed,
manned yards and cheered. Their Royal Highnesseea
accompanied by the Heads of Departments, landed, and
in•pected very minutely the whole of that extensive esta-
blishment, with which they expressed themselves much
gratified ; and having re-embarked in the Admiral's barge,
crossed the harbour, and landed at the King's Stairs,
where they were received by the Guard of Honour, and
being handed to their carriages proceeded to the house of
Sir Frederick Maitland, where a sumptuous dejeune a la
fourchette was provided, and to which, independent of Sir
John and Lady Conroy, and others of their Royal High_

nesses' suite, were invited the Lady of the Commander in

Captains E. R. Williams, Michael Seymour, Hastings

the Commander in Chief, Captain Menzies, K. H., and the
officer, of the Guard of Honour, who were severally'
introduced to their Royal Highnesses; after which the
Royal cortege again drove to the King's Stairs, where they
were similarly received ; and, re-embarking, proceeded to
witness the gun practice on board his Majesty's ship
Excellent. On their Royal Highnesses' departure for
Norris C stle at four o'clock, a Royal salute was fired from
the Excellent, which ship was fitted up expressly for the
recen'ion of the illustrious party.—Hampshire Telegraph
The present volume of the Standard Novels,
thanks to the discrimination of the publisher, contains a
most spirited translatson of Victor Hugo's celebrated
Romance " Notre Dame de Paris." Why it should be
called " The Hunchback of Notre Dame," we do not
know. For power this work has few equals. The
materials are strange, but a master's hand has the disposi-
tion of them. Victor Hugo is among novelists what our
Martin is among pointers; both can make a mere crowd
sublime—aboth animate mere masses of masonry. Hugo
likes to choose extreme cases of human nature ; Martin
chooses the great and singular epochs of history; and
no artists ever struck out more vivid ideas of terrific but
momentary states of natural or social existence. Not
less than 150,000 volumes of the Standard Novels
have been circulated. We do not wonder at this result
when such a production as " Notre Dame de Paris,"
neatly printed and illustrated, may be purchased for six
shillings.
The following is a letter from a correspondent
of Boulogne-sur-Mer :—" A great number of the English
residents at Boulogne, on being informed of Lord Palmer
ston's approbation of the Consul's proceedings in conse-
quence of the official report of Captain Chads, waited
upon him to express their gratification on the occasion
It is a tribute of justice due to Mr. Hamilton to add,
that his services, in the rigid discharge of his duty, are as
duly appreciated at the Foreign-office, as is his private
character as a gentleman, by all who have the pleasure of
his acquaintance. As a corroborative proof, if any were
wanting, to show the high estimation in which Mr. Ha-
mifton's character is held, I might adduce the singular
instance of the English prisoners in the Haute Ville, who,
on learning that Lord Palmerston had fully approved the
Consul's conduct, addressed a letter to him, expressive of
the satisfaction they derived from his honourable exonera-
tion from the charges against him."
On Saturday afternoon, Captain Symes, one
of Don Pedro's agents, attended at the King's Heal, Or-
chard-street, Broadway, Westminster, to engage a number
of men as non-commissioned officers for the service of
Donna Maria, the young Queen of Portugal. Captain
Symes examined all the applicants at some length as to
their qualifications. He selected about 50 of the most
experienced and intelligent men, all of whom had been in
the English army, and appointed them sergeants and cor.
porals. The sergeants are to receive 2/. 15s. per month,
and the corporals 21. 10s. A number of highly respecta-
ble young men have volunteered their services without
any pay, and many persons have applied for commissions
in her Majesty's service. Some officers of experience
have had commissions granted to them. Cautain Symes,
after having enrolled the non-commissioned officers, briefly
addressed them, and particularly recommended sobriety,
and obedience to the orders of their superiors. The
Captain then gave notice, that on Monday he should be
prepared to enlist as many privates as he could procure,
to form another detachment, who would be sent out to
Lisbon about .the end of the ensuing week.
In 1767 there were not 30,000 persons em-
ployed in the cotton manufacture; now, in cons, quenee
of inventions which the workmen at the very time of their
introduction endeavoured to destroy, there are at least a
million.—lmperial Magazine.
WORCESTER CONSTITUENCY.—According
to the town clerk's lists of electors for the city of Worcester,
there are 1,657 on the freemen's list and 1,255 on the
parish lists—total, 2,912, which exceeds the number of
last year's registration by 549.
BALLYSHANNON CORPORATION. -- On
Tuesday se'nnight the Commissioners commenced their
inquiries at Ballyshannon. Colonel Conclly was the
principal witness, and seems to have given his evidence with
much candour. He stated " there is no Provost now or
other corporate officer in the borough ; he believes the
population of Ballyshannon is on the increase, and the trade
improving."
CAUTION.—A man, about five feet five or
six inches high, having the appearance of a ticket-porter,
dressed in a blue coat with gilt buttons, and wearing a
abort white apron, is in the habit of calling at gentle-
men's houses with parcels, for which be charges porter-
age, pretending to be sent from the White Horse Cellar
coach-office. The parcels generally contain an old news-
paper, or a few rags.
" After all," says Lady Morgan, speaking of
the state of Ireland, " our first and most urgent want is a
breathing time from fictiona moment of repose—a
suspension of blood spilling and destruction of property—of
the property of the poor, more than of the rich—a leisure
to think, to calculate, to learn and to labour."
A large fossil reptile of the antediluvian age,
was on Saturday taken out of the blue lies on Char-
mouth beach, Devonshire; it had been previously sold
for four sovereigns to a member of the Geological Society,
and proved to be of the genus Icthyosaurus, partaking of
the alligator and lizard species. It measured about six
feet in length, and was only to be reached at extremely,
low tides, which may account fur its not having been die- I
covered befo e.

On the 30th ult., the Florida arrived at
Havre from New York. A young American on board,
who was coming to France to study medicine, was re•
marked for his extreme taciturnity, and keeping himself
completely retired, but this was attributed to his regret at
leaving his native land and family. On coming within
sight of port, he asked the Captain for some laudanum, to
ailav a violent tooth-ache, under which he said he was
suffering, and as he was of the medical profession, a 'phial
full was intrusted to him. A short time afterwards he
was found dead, having drunk the whole contents of the
bottle. It was then discovered that he had made a pre-
vious attempt to destroy himself, as there was a wound in
his right side, which, however, had not been sufficiently
deep to kill him Galignani's Messenger.
The Garden of Plants has been enriched with
variety of new and interesting living animals: among
them are some chinchillas and didelphi, and two came-
Irons from Algiers, with two other reptiles of the same
class, called prat,' anyuillards, but which live constantly
in the water. They resemble eels in their form, but are
of a light dirty rose-colour, having a hood or topping
streaked with a bright red. They have four small paws
scarcely distinguishable, and can only live in a very obscure
light. They were presented by a merchant of Liverpool,
who brought them from the grotto of the Magdalen, near
Trieste. They cost him great care and trouble, as he
kept them for five months, changing their water daily,
without which they cannot live.—Paris Paper.
The first of the Boyle family who went as an
adventurer to Ireland, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth,
did not possess in worldly sub,tance, when he landed in
that kingdom, to the value of more than 271, including a
pair of silk or velvet breeches, which he did not forget to
enumerate among the other articles of his little stock.
This man, by courtier-like conduct and remarkable in-
dustry, acquired in the course of time estates and lands
worth 18,0001. a year. In the reign of Charles 1., he
was raised to the dignity of Earl of Cork ; and he had the
unparalleled honour of seeing overy one of his eons, except
one, who refused a peerage, seated with himself in the
House of Lords. One of his sons was created Viscount
Kinalmeaky ; another was Earl of Orrery, a third was
Lord Stamnore ; his eldest son was styled Lord Dungars
von ; and the fifth son, the famous philosopher, Robert
