The Chancellor of the Exchequer, we are in-
formed, will address his constituents at Aylesbury on
Wednessday next.
Mr. Thomas Baring., M.P., left town on Saturday
to visit the Chancellor of the Exchequer at Hughenden-
manor, Bucks. •
Prince Alfred reached Balmoral on Tuesday
morning from his tour. The young Prince, according to
the Court Journal, is much browned by his continental
trip, and is looking remarkably well. He shows no signs
of taking that upward start and growth which is natural
with youths of his age. The Prince of Wales and the
Princess Alice both promise" to be tall, but Prince Alfred
inclines to take after the figure of his sister, the Princess
Royal—at least he does so at present.
ROYALTY IN A COTTAGE.—The Queen and the
Prince Consort visited their romantic. hut at Alt na Gusach
on Thursday, and passed the night there. This hut or
lodge is situated among the hills, and commands most
beautiful views of the surrounding scenery. Its accom-
modations are very limited, and her Majesty is, on these
occasions, attended by the smallest possible suite consistent
with her personal comfort. It is rather more than an hour's
ride or drive from the castle, and is generally visited twice
or thrice during the stay of the Court at Balmoral.--Court
Journal.
ALARMING ILLNESS OF LORD ADOLPHUS VANE
TEMPEST, M.P.—We deeply regret to learn that Lord Adol-
phus Vane Tempest, M.P. for North Durham, was attacked a
few days since by alarming symptoms of nervous excite-
ment, of so serious a character as to occasion the deepest
anxisty to his nearest relatives. The Marchioness (Frances
Anne) of Londonderry has come from Garron Tower, her
seat in Ireland, owing to the dangerous illness of her son.
The Earl Vane arrived in London on Friday morning,
from his shooting box in Inverness-shire, in consequence
of a telegraphic message urging his early presence in town.
The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough have also come to
town from Blenheim, in consequence of the illness of his
lordship. Yesterday morning the medical bulletin stated
his lordship to have passed a good night, and to be some-
what better. At an advanced hour in the evening we were
informed that his lordship continued tranquil, and was
much the same. Dr. Henry C. Johnson is in attendance.
The condition of Lord Adolphus is one of danger, but the
medical gentlemen hold out hopes to the family.
THE WEEDON INQUIRY.—The evidence in this
inquiry, taken at Weedon on Saturday, resulted in a reso-
lution on the part of the committee, influenced by the fact
of the intricate involvement of the accounts, to adjourn the
investigation from Weedon again to London, to be reopened
after certain statements of accounts shall have been duly
prepared for their inspection and inquiry. The full report
Is of necessity postponed, in consequence of unusual pres-
sure on our space.
THE HARROW RACE MEETING.—A new race
meeting established under the auspices of Mr. E. W. Top-
ham, the Clerk of the Course at Chester, is to be inaugu-
rated on the beautiful grounds of Mr. Elmore, at Harrow,
on Tuesday and Wednesday next. Great preparations
have been made to make this meeting very attractive to the
sporting conununity, and it is expected that the 'Harrow-
road will, on the occasion, present quite the appearance
of an autumn Derby-day. The lessee gives /600 to be
competed for, and the stewards are Viscount Clifden, the
Earl of Sefton, and Mr. Alderman Copeland. The new
course is situated about a mile from the Sudbury station of
the London and North-Western Railway, and is about
eight miles from town. The programme of sport is well
filled, and we observe that there are fourteen races to be
run

•
COLLIERS REFUSING TO WORK WITH UNLOCKED
LAMPS.—At the Wakefield Petty Sessions, before Colonel
Smyth, M.P., William Fearnly and James Metcalf were
charged with having violated a contract entered into with
Messrs. Milnes, Stansfield, and Co., Flockton, by leaving
their employment without giving a month's notice. The
reason given by the defendants for leaving was that they
had been supplied with unlocked lamps contrary to the,
rules of the colliery, whereby their lives had been endan-
gered. The magistrates held this to be sufficient ground
for refusing to work, and dismissed the case.
Mr. Vandenhoff intimates. that the curtain will
fall upon him, on the boards of the Theatre Royal, Liver-
pool, in the character of Cardinal Wolsey. He will give
six farewell Performances, commencing xrith Julius Cwsar,
on Monday, the 19th inst. Mr. Vandenhoff made his fiist
appearance on the stage at this theatre about fifty years
ago.

The Illustrated Times says :—" Our readers may
be curious to know the terms of Mr. Sims Reeves's engage-
ment at the National Standard Theatre. Well, then, Mr.
Douglass pays him,£6oo for twelve nights, and £3OO addi-
tional for another week. Who will now complain that
bishops are overpaid ?"
Mr. Keeley and Miss Louisa Keeley will join
Mr. Falconer's company at the Lyceum, at Christmas.
During the month of November, when the theatre will be
occupied by M. Jidlien and his promenade concerts, the
Lyceum artistes will perform in Liverpool and Manchester.

THE CREST, VICTORIA-PARK.—The number of patients
relieved at this institution during the last week was 963, of
which 148 were new cases.

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S-INN-ROAD.-
The number of patients relieved at this hospital during the
week ending October 2, is 2,076, of which 755 were new
cases.

THE COAST GUARD.-MILFORD HAVEN, OCT. 1.
—The Argils steamer arrived here this morning, having on.
board Commodore Eden, on r, tour of inspection. The com-
modore's flag was saluted by the Eagle, coast qn Ird at
nine o'clock, but without acknowledgment. The establish-
ment throughout the district is in a most efficient state.
The coast volunteers on board the Eagle were exercised at
ball practice, both from the guns of that vessel and the
small arms, in presence of Commodore Eden, and made
excellent work of it.

We regret to announce that during the match
of cricket at Waldershare Park last Tuesday, Lord North,
immediately after quitting the bat, was seized with an
apoplectic At. Mr. Chalk, surgeon, of Ex-theme, promptly
attended, and a messenger was despatched for Mr. Sankey,
of Dover, the medidal attendant of the family. His lord-
ship is gradually recovering from the attack.—Kent Herald.
A NEW MATERIAL FOR ROAD-MAKING.—The
everlasting noise which is occasioned by the rrgged mate-
rial of our English roads and the frequency of their being
under repair gives especial value to a fact which we find in
the French papers. A new system of road-making has
just been substituted for the ordinary roadway on a part of
the Place du Palais Royal. A quantity of concrete, about
five inches in thickness, is first spread out, and on that is
applied a layer of bitumen reduced to powder and in a
boiling state. On this latter, which is also about 5 inches
in thickness, a quantity of river sand is sifted, and then the
surface is pressed down by a heavy cast-iron roller, weigh-
ing about two tons. In a few hours after the road thus
made may be passed over by the heaviest waggons without
the slightest impression being left by the wheels. The
same system is now being applied to part of the Rue St.
Honore comprised between the Palais Royal and the Rue
do Richelieu,. and in the latter street as far as the end of
tlle.Theatre Fraucaio.
