Lord Dudley Stuart entertained a party of friends
at dinner, on Tuesday evening, at his residence. Several
Polish officers of distinction were among the guests. The
Noble Lord has just concluded a canvass for Arundel, where
his Lordship will tgain, it is understood have the Duke of
Norfolk's int,:rest.

Lor-,i and Lady Maynard arrived in town on Mon-
dal, from Brighton, to be present at the marriage of their eldest
daughter, the Hon. Miss Maynard, with Adolphus Capel. Esq.,
son of Lady Capel, and nephew of the Earl of Essex ; which
ceremony took place in Grosvenor-square the same day.
TIIE LATE RIGHT HON. SIR W. KEPPEL,
G. C. B.—This Gallant General has been in the service fifty-
six years, having entered the army so far back as 1788. He
selved in North America and the West Indies, and attained
the rank of Lieut.-General in 1803 ; Colonel Commandant of
the 60th Foot, the 14th of April, 1806 ; Colonel of the 67th
Foot, 1811 ; Colonel of the 2d or Queen's, 1828 ; General
in the Army, 4th June, 1813 • Governor of Guernsey, 1827,
vice General the Earl of Pembroke. Sir Wm. Keppel was for
several years Equerry and one of the Grooms of the Chamber
to his late Majesty, of whose Privy Council he was sworn a
member. It was the death of this distinguished officer which
at Paris was the cause of sending for by express his collateral
relative the Earl of Albemarle, who inherits his property.

Mr. Bonham, just appointed storekeeper of the
ordnance, it is understood, is to fill the office of ministerial
whipper-in, in lieu of Mr. William Holmes, who is abroad.
The Earl of Eldon, according to his invariable
practice for years, ordered, some days ago, all his Christmas
bills to be paid in advance. His Lordship's tradespeople ex-
press their grateful acknowledgments for this consideration,
which, in many instances, proves of great assistance to the
more limited dealer.

The most inveterate of the Peers of France against
the Editor of the National is M. Barthe. The cause is easy
to be conceived. It was by this same editor, M. Rouen, that
M. Barthe was sworn. a Carbonaro. Apostacy never cuts jokes.

SANDWICH ISLANDS.—We have seen an account
of tie shipping which arrived at the Island of Woahoo in the
nalf year ending 1833 ; and as every opportunity of bringing
before the British public the fast improving condition of these
luxuriant islands, the most interesting of all Cooke's discove-
ries, is our duty, we make no apology for giving a slight detail
of the latest information we have received concerning them.
Of American merchant vessels there arrived during the time
above stated 8, British 1, Sandwich Islands 1, Prussian 1,
Spanish 1, Otaheitan 1 • in the whole 13 vessels ; aggregate
tonnage 2,473, navigated by 235 men. Of American whaling
vessels the number was 53, tonnage 18,930 ; men 1,411; Bri-
tish whaling vessels 13, tonnage 4,800; men 391 ; barrels of
oil on board the American vessels 78,560; barrels of oil on
board of the British vessels 13,720—Canton Register, May 6.

MAIL AND COACH ACCIDENTS.—In consequence
of the frost, the roads in the neighbourhood of town have been
so slippery that numerous accidents have occurred. On Tues-
day evening as the Bath and Bristol mail was proceeding out
of town at a rapid pace, when near Kensington turnpike the
leaders slipped and fell. One of them was so much injured
that it was compelled to be immediately killed. The mail
proceeded on to Hounslow with the two remaining horses.
On the previous evening an accident, which had liked to have
proved fatal to some of the passengers, occurred to Moody's
Windsor coach as it was coming to town. When passing St.
Mary Abbott's-terrace, near Lord Holland's park, Kensington,
the horses fell into a hole which had been negligently left
open, half-way across the road, for the purpose of repairinr, the
drains belonging to No. 4 in that terrace, and it was found
impracticable to extricate them until almost the whole of the
harness, which a few days since cost 25 guineas, was cut to
pieces. The coach was prevented falling into the hole, but
the horses were much injured. Providentially none of the
passengers were hurt.
THE LONDON MAIIKETS.—For years past there
has not been witnessed in the metropolis such a Christmas
show of the good things of this world, such profusion, and the
quality unexampled. Who shall describe them with justice ?
At the west end of the town the barons of beef, the saddles of
mutton, the house lamb daintily dressed, with its skin half
pulled off its shoulders, like the costume of modern hussars,
and ornamented with spiral embellishments of its own fat, at-
tract the gaze and wonder of the epicure. The prize oxen
and sheep of every description, covered with fat, the glory and
admiration of cooks and dealers in dripping ; long rows of tur-
keys, of all sizes, ages, colours, and prices ; geese of all
weights, from six to twenty pounds ; capons, fit to line the
fair, round belly of Shakspeare's Justice, all ranged in goodly
array, attract the eye ; and probably, ere this be read, will
have gratified the taste of our readers, The finest beef in the
market (not being prize beef) and the best cuts, are not more
than Sd. per pound-61d. with boiling ; turkies from ss. to
40s. ; some extra-fed prime turkies, weighing nearly 40 lbs.,
have been sold from five guineas upwards •, fine large geese,
weighing 12 lbs., have been bought for about 75.. and small
geese from 3s. tid. to 6s. Ducks, fowls, and game of every
description, have been cheaper and better than for many years
past.
