ROYAL ALBERT YACHT CLUB, SOUTHSEA.—The
Queen has been pleased to confer on the Albert Yacht
Club at Southsea, Portsmouth, the title of "Royal," and
has granted to it all the privileges of the other royal yacht
clubs.

THE LATE PREMIER.---A handsome bust of the
late Lord Palmerston is about to be placed in the As-
sembly-rooms, Weston-super-Mare. This is the first town
in Soraersetshire that has recognised the public services of
the late statesman in the form of a memorial.

It is, we understand, quite true that Signor
Mazzini, who has been for several years back in delicate
health, is just now Seriously ill at Brorapton.
