THE QUEEN OF HANOVER.—Several of the
German journals have stated that the Queen of Hanover
has been repeatedly invited to leave the Chateau of .ISlariee-
burg and the country, or to accept the following condi-
tions:—First, to discharge the persons of her suite, and
her domestic servants, and to accept a household chosen b 7
the Prussian Government ; secondly, to hoist the royal
Prussian flag on the chateau ; and, thirdly, to allow a de-
tachment of Prussian troops to mount guard at the palace.
Her Majesty vainly remonstrated, and showed that she was
residing in her own house ; the-King of- Prussia, at
length intimated, by a formal order from Ems, that t b
Queen must leave the country and her chateau if she re-
fused to accept the conditions. Three days were given be
for consideration. In consequence the Queen and the
youthful Princess Mary left Marienburg on Wednesdal
morning for Vienna, by way of Cassel.
B,U3IOURED ELOPEMENT.—A very painful rumour
has been current through this city concerning some parties
who have been recent visitors to it. It is said that a lady
who is the wife of a member of one of the wealthiest
families in Ireland has loft her husband in company with la
cavalry officer. The fugitives have, it is said, been traced
to Glasgow by the lady's father, who is a gentleman hold"
ing an important public position, in which he is deserved
respected. The lady mentioned is, we regret to add, the
mother of three children.— Cork Examiner.
