VISIT Or THE QUERN TO BIRMINGHAIL—We have at
.ength the pleasure of informing our readers that her
Majesty has definitely promised to honour Birmingham
with her presence this year. Some time before the late
Ministry went out of office the Mayor placed himself in
communication with Lord Palmerston, with a view of
effecting this result, and especially with reference to the
opening of Aston Park. When Earl Derby became
Premier the subject was renewed, and yesterday the
Mayor had the gratification of receiving a letter from
Lord Derby, in welch his lordship intimated the willing-
ness of her Majesty to:vimit Birmingham and open Aston
Park. Should her Majesty's engagements permit her
to visit Birmingham in May or June, she will accede to
the wishes of the committee by inaugurating the Park in
one of these months ; should there be any hindrances at
that time, her Majesty will accede to the ,fishes of her
loyal subjects in Birmingham by opening the Park in
iii 'me other convenient month during the summer.—
Birneillultam Post of yesterday.
THE GOVELNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA.—It is astonish-
ing how ranch good sense and sound
,principle is occa-
sionally to be found in the " Leaders ' of the Times on
certain subjects since Lord Palmerston's resignation.
Ome cannot help praying that our contemporary's Party
may remain in opposition at least long enough to
allow its •irtue to become a matter of habit. We
c3nfess that we have some uncomfortable doubts, not
only as to whether it would have proposed Sir John
Lawrence for Governor-General had Lord Palmerston
remained in power, but also as to whether it would
remain true to its judicious nomination if his lordship
were to return to office immediately. We therefore
—on the principle of "nailing " the rap to the counter
—pot the Times' declaration in favour of Sir John
Lawrence on record. There is little chance of a new
appointment to the Governor-Generalship of India
taking place immediately : " resignation "

Lord Canning's virtues. But it the- is, not ore
party favoured

power when the office falls vacant,
Times
takel theii in
liberty to remind our contemporary
olbtyawtwbhiaelit it has now said in behalf of Sir John Law-
rence's being appointed Governor-General. Daily

tAFATAL GUM' ACCIDENT.--NOTTINGLIAIf, Wednesday.
—Yesterday morning, a youth about 16 years of age,
the only son of Mr. IV. Taylor, of the firm of Taylor and
Francis, paper manufacturers, Nottingham, received a
gun-shot wound, which occasi,,ned his death under very
indancholy circurn,tinces. It appears than, the deceased,
in company with another youth 3f the same age, went
out shooting in the meadows adjoining tb,' town. They
were walking along, Taylor being a little in advance of
his companion who had the gun, when the latter, whose
fingers were benumbed with cold, accidentally pulled the
trigger, and the charge entered the back of deceased,
passing through the spine and penetrating the lungs.
The unfortunate youth was conveyed home in great
ag.ony, and Mr. Whitt', urbeon, wasealled to attend him.
The nature of the wound was such as to prehlu,!e al
hope of recovery, and the deceased lingered until one
o'clock this morning when he expired. An inquest will
be held on the body before the town coroner, Mr, M.
Browne, thigoyening,
