We regret to hear that the state of Sir James D.
Knight Bruce's health during the last week has been verY
unsatisfactory. Sir J. L. Knight Bruce has been a Lora
Justice of Appeal in Chancery ever since the creation of
the office in 1851. He was made a Vice-Chancellor in
1841, and has, therefore, been a judge for the last quarter
of a century. His resignation has caused the first change
which has occurred for the last 14 years among the per-
manent judges of the Court of Chancery ; but we under-
stand that several further changes will be made duriog
next year, when the two junior Vice-Chancellors will
complete the 15 years' service which entitles them to their
pension.
A rumour has been circulated that the authoritieS
of a museum in Paris were about to purchase Professor
Edward Hildetrand's (Court painter of Berlin) famous and
valuable collection of water-colour drawings of India/
China, &c., which are now being exhibited at 48, pall-
Mall. We aro informed that the negotiations were carried
on for the new museum at Berlin by Herr von Oilers/
General Director of the Royal Museum at that town, but
that he was unable to come to terms with the owner of
the drawings. It may be interesting to some, at the seine
time, to learn that the drawings of the Castle of Miramare,
the present residence of the Empress, is from this time also
exhibited.

FUNERAL OF THE LATE QUEEN'S HUNTSMAN.--0°
Friday the remains of Mr. Charles Davis, the late

THE NORWICH MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—NoRwICII:
Saturday Evening.—The concert receipts of wha"
must now be termed the late festiyal wero £4,679, or within
a few shillings of the amount taken in 1863, and they ware
only exceeded in 1863, 1827, and 1824. At the 'same time
it is rather disheartening that the continuous progress
which had been observed at the last three festivals has Os:
tained a check. The ball receipts, the amount derived
from the sale of books of the words, and other accessorY
sources of income, have still to be taken into account ; hOV
as the presence of the Prince and Princess of Wales, the
Queen of Denmark, and the Duke of Edinburgh, has
ns
volved the committee in some additional expanses, it
doubtful whether the net proceeds will amount to X1,130'
In 1863 they were £1,221. No definite information oeni
however, be given on this head, as a final adjustment °f
accounts will not take place until the close of the 5351..
The ball with which the festival was brought to a Gin/
last evening was a brilliant and successful entertainment
The orchestra was covered with crimson cloth, and ft'
nished with handsome chairs and settees. At the bar'"
and at both sides, were arranged shrubs in vases and exati°
plants. A suite of rooms which had been fitted up for
reception of the Royal strangers ware again made ava-:,
able, while at various points of the hall there were ouji;
settees and chairs covered with crimson velvet. Near °-
west door there was a fine mirror which reflected all the
company in the hall. The orchestra for the band Wg,e
erected on the south side and was adorned with herald
°
devices, among which were the arms of England and Dee'
:
mark. An elegant supper was served in a commodion
apartment used for educational purposes by the Gc'ni„a
mercial Branch of the Norwich Grammar School,
immediately adjoining the hall. The band in attendanv-to
was that of Mr. W. Howlett, of Norwich. The ball Nrio
opened by the Earl of Leicester and Lady Stafford. r
