NEW SALMON FISHING GROUND.--The salmon
fishings at the Black Rock, Burntisland, have been leased
from the Crown by Mr. Baird, of Montrose, and promise
to turn out well. On Saturday last two fine salmon, the
first ever caught at this ground, were found in the stake-
nets ; one of these weighed bib.
HATCHING AT STORMONTFIELD PONDS.—On Tues-
day Mr. Peter Marshall, superintendent of the Stormont-

there is every appearance of a good hatching season.—

The Queen, accompanied by her Royal High-
ness Princess Helena and her Grand Ducal High-
ness Princess Leiningen, drove out yesterday after-
noon.

Lord Camoys and Major-General Francis Sey-
mour, C.B. (Lord and Groom in Waiting to her
Majesty), attended the funeral of Queen Marie
Am(Ric at Weybridge, yesterday, by command of
the Queen ; and Lord Camoys, by her Majesty's
command, placed three wreaths upon the coffin of
the late lamented Queen, as a token of her Ma-
jesty's affection and respect.
The Queen went out walking this morning,
accompanied by her Royal Highness Princess
Louise.

His Majesty the King of the Belgians, attended
by M. Brewer, and his Royal Highness Prince
Philip and her Imperial Highness Princess Philip of
Wurtemburg, arrived at the Castle and remained
to luncheon.

Their Royal Highnesses Princess Helena and
Princess Louise, attended by Lady Augusta Stanley,
Major-General the Hon. A. N. Hood, and Lieut.-
Colonel Du Plat, drove to the railway station in
Windsor, and met his Majesty and the Prince and
Princess, and accompanied them to the Castle,
where the Queen, attended by the Ladies and
Gentlemen in Waiting, received the King and the
Prince and Princess at the door. They were after-
words conducted to their apartments.

Earl and Countess Russell arrived at the Castle
yesterday, and had the honour of dining with the
Queen and the Royal family.

The Duke and Duchess of Newcastle are expected
to arrive at their house in Piccadilly in a few days from
Clumber, Notts, for the season.

The Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne left
Lansdowne-house, Berkeley-square, yesterday, for Dover,
on their way to visit the Count and Countess de Flahault
at Paris. The Earl of Kerry and the junior members of
the family have already arrived at Paris.

The Marquis of Ailesbury arrived in town yester-
day from Savernake Lodge, near Marlborough, and left the
same evening for Holkham Hall, Norfolk, to be present at
the wedding of the Earl of Dunmore and Lady Gertrude
Coke, daughter of the Earl and Countess of Leicester.

The Countess of Dunmore left town on Tuesday
for Holkham Hall, Norfolk, on a visit to the Earl and Coun-
tess of Leicester, and in order to be present at the nuptials
of her son, the Earl of Dunmore, and Lady Gertrude Coke,
which are to take place to-day at Holkham, in the presence
of a large circle of distinguished relatives and friends.
Viscount and Viscountess Powerscourt have joined
the party assembled at Holkham Hall at the invitation of
the Earl and Countess of Leicester on the occasion of the
marriage of Lady Gertrude Coke and the Earl of Dunmcre.
Lord and Lady Clifford and family have arrived
at the Alexandra Hotel, Hyde-park-corner, from Wybrooke,
Chudleigh, Devon.

DEATH OF MR. FAIRHOLT.—Mr. Fairholt, the
eminent artist, after a long and painful illness, expired on
Tuesday. Although for a long time almost confined to his
house, and at intervals severely, he continued until the
last few weeks his literary and artistic labours. His last
work, which he has left almost, if not quite, completed, is
on " Pageantry in the Middle Ages," one of the subjects
on which ho had so well qualified himself to write. His most
recent engravings are plates of coins for the "Numismatic
Chronicle," and other works. They show not only unim-
pairedvigour and truthfulness, but also a decidedly superior
finish, although for years he was quite unrivalled in his en-
gravings of ancient coins. Mr. Fairholt's drawings upon
wood amount to very many thousands, and his etchings also
are exceedingly numerous. His own works " On Costume"
(with 500 woodcuts), his " Dictionary of Terms of Art,"
his " History of Old Civio Pageantry," "Up the Nile and
Home again," &c., aro well known. He executed the whole
of the drawings and engravings of the late Lord Londes-
borough's sumptuous "Miscellanea Graphics," the "In-
ventorium Sepulchralo" of B►yan Faussett, Mr. Roach
Smith's "Roman London," and "Antiquities of Rich-
borough," Mr. 'Wright's "Histories of Domestic Manners
and Caricatures," Mr. Halliwell's folio edition of "Shakes-
peare," &c. His unpublished sketches are numerous; and
he had very choice collections of scarce books and of me-
dinval pottery. Mr. Fairholt will bo much missed by a
wide circle of friends. Hls manners were agreeable, and
he possessed a large fund of peculiar information, such as
will with difficulty be found in any other person. Ho was
unmarried, the last survivor of a family of 16; and with
him the name of Fairholt perishes, as we learn from
.‘ Lower's English Surnames."

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE HOSPITAL.—His Royal
Highness tho Duke of Cambridge, K.G., has graciously
signified his intention of presiding at the annual festival
in aid of the funds of this hospital on Wednesday, the 18th
April, at Willis's Rooms.

EXECUTION AT WEXFORD.—Yesterday morning
at eight o'clock Patrick Power, convicted of the murder of
his father, with a pitchfork, at Newtown Barry, county
Wexford, on the night of the 13th October, was executed
in Wexford. He had previously confessed his guilt.

LONDON WORKHOUSES. —The public will be glad
to learn that the Poor Law Board has instructed
their medical officer, Dr. Edward Smith, F.R.S., in con-
junction with Mr. H. B. Farnall, C.B„ to inspect the in
firmary wards of all the metropolitan workhouses, and to
inquire and report upon the existing arrangements for the
care and treatment of the sick poor. They have also re-
quested those gentlemen to suggest such remedies for any
existing evils in the several workhouses as may be fitted
to render the care of the sick satisfactory. It cannot be
doubted that with such an official inquiry the truth will be
ascertained, and it is to be hoped that the guardians will
receive the recommendation with the intention of render-
ing the treatment of the sick poor in workhouses all that
can properly be desired.

THE TAILORS' STRIKE AND LOCK-OUT.—Yesterday
at noon, an interview took place, by previous appointment,
at St. James's Hall, Regent-street, with a sub-committee
appointed from the Master Tailors' Association, and the
Committee of Operative Tailors' Protection Society, for
the purpose of, if possible, coming to an understanding.
The operatives committee commenced the proceedings by
presenting their "log " (list of prices), which has for its
basis that an average workman should be able to earn 7d.
per hour. This was met with a counter "log," put forth
by the masters' sub-committee. It differs greatly from
that issued by Mr. Poole. A discussion followed, which
lasted upwards of three hours, and in which the utmost
good feeling was exhibited by both parties. The result
was concessions on both sides ending in a "log" mutually
satisfactory. The matter is narrowed so far that, if the
masters will adopt the scale of prices which their sub-
committee are pledged to recommend to them, the strike
will be at an end.

DEATH FROM THE KICK or A HORSE.—On Tues-
day evening an inquest was held at Stratford on the body
of James Brodrick, aged 45 years, who sustained a severe
fracture of the skull by the kick of a vicious horse which
he was in the act of shoeing. Verdict, accidental death.
A WHALE IN THE SCHELDT.—" We announced
some days since," says the Escaut, "that a huge fish had
been seen in the river by some boatmen who had not been
able to catch it. It was, however again seen near the en-
trance to the basin, when some fishermen set off, and after
two hours' exertions, succeeded in capturing it. It turned
out to be a young whale, which had probably been driven
by the late storms to take shelter in the Scheldt. It mea-
sured between 16 and 17 feet in length."
THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES.—Robert
Chambers, who during so many years held the champion-
ship of the Thames, has written to Kelley (the present
champion) challenging him to a contest this year. In the
event of the challenge being accepted, of which there
seems to be little doubt, the race will take place in Sep-
tember.

A meeting of the civil servants of the Crown
employed in the Inland Revenue Departments was held
yesterday to enforce their right to the elective franchise.
Mr. F. Scudamore, of the Post Office, presided. Mr.
Anthony Trollopo moved tho first resolution, and Mr.
Edmund Yates moved the adoption of a petition praying
for the enfranchisement of the civil servants of the Crown
As will be readily understood, the proceedings were of a
highly interesting character.
NEWSPAPER PRIVILEGES.—On Tuesday, in the
course of an action for libel against the She field and Rother-
ham Independent, which was tried at the West Riding As-
sizes at Leeds, the question was raised whether reports in
newspapers of proceedings in Bankruptcy Courts were
privileged. Mr. Justice Keating said it was undoubtedly
the law that the fair and correct publication of legal pro-
ceedings without malice was protected by law; and he
should direct the jury that the occasion when the execu-
tion took place was an occasion on which a fair report
would be privileged. If they were of opinion, therefore,
that the report was a correct one, and that it was published
without malice, the defendants would be entitled to a ver-
dict. The cage terminated in a verdict for the defendant,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CAPTURE OP A NOTORIOUS CARRIAGE THlEF.—Charles
Parker, a young man, describing himself as a seaman, but
who is known to the police as a regular carriage thief, was
charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a coat from the
carriage of Mr. Thomas Blizard Curling, a gentleman
residing at No. 39, Grosvenor-street, Grosvenor-square.
A person, seeing the prisoner take the coat from Mr.
Curling's carriage, which was standing at his own door
gave the alarm, and the prisoner was pursued by a man
named Smith and Mr. Curling's coachman. The prisoner,
finding ho was pursued, stopped and gave the coat up,
stating that he had picked it up, and when asked why he
had set to running, stated that that was "out of fun."
Before the witness Smith could seize him he made off
again, but after a sharp chase was secured and handed over
to Hooker, 141 C, who took him to the station.
The prisoner was remanded.
The police have received information of several similar
robberies of late.

THREATENING TIIE TASKMASTER OF A WonxuousE.
Griffith Jones was charged with behaving in a refractory
manner, by refusing to perform a task of work while a
casual inmate of St. James's Workhouse, and also with
threatening the taskmaster.
Devsham, the superintendent of the casual ward of St.
James's Workhouse, said that on the previous night the
prisoner applied for admission to the casual ward, and was
admitted. The prisoner had the regular allowance, and
that morning, after breakfast, a take of work was given to
him, but he refused to perform it; and having a hammer
in his hand at the time said, "I will break your - head
before I leave the yard."
The prisoner, in a violent tone, denied using the words,
and said that if he had an opportunity of writing to his
brother he would send a solicitor to defend him.
Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for 14 days with hard
labour.
