Letters were received from the Marquis of Hert-
ford on Thursday last, dated from Frankfort-on-the-Maine,
in which his Lordship expresses his determination to return
to England, in consequence of the continued prevalence of
the cholera in Italy.

A great sensation has been produced throughout
the farming interest of East Sussex by the announced
failure of Mr. George Munn, of Robertsbridgc), grazier.
its liabilities are said to exceed 12,000/.—Brighton Gear.
TILE VINTAGE.-Extract of a letter from Oporto,
dated the 20th inst. :—" The accounts from the wine dis-
trict are most unfavourable. Never was such a failure
known. The weather was so tremendous during the vin-
tage that wooden bowls were used instead of baskets to col-
lect the grapes, so watery were they. Such a scene of de-
solation has never been witnessed there. In 1818 it was
bad enough, but this year the weather has been much more
tempestuous. Last year's vintage was a very superior one,
and 1834 wines are the best in quality that we have had for
many years."

The herring fishery has lately been partially suc-
cessful, for although some boats have gone out for eighteen
clays together with little or no success, several others have
gone to sea for as many hours, and returned with 8,000
:francs worth of fish.—Boulogne Journal.

GIN PALACES IN THE BOROUGII.-One of these
splendid drinking temples, at the corner of SufFolk-strect,
has four beautifully-executed stone columns of the purest
Corinthian order of architecture. At night the interior
presents a complete scene of enchantment, looking-glasses
-being so arranged that the distance appears to be two-
fold. It is said that upwards of 40/. per day is taken at
this house.

THE, QUEEN'S VISIT TO OXFORD.—We regret
to find that her Majesty was treated with some indignity
vitent pass;ng through the gate at Henley-bridge, by Bolton,
the gatekeeper. Immediately the circumstance was known
to the Commissioners, they met and passed a resolution, re-
gretting that they had no authority summarily to punish
the man, but they unanimously agreed to dismiss him as
Aooe as possible, and to convey to Earl Howe, her Majesty's
Chtamberlain, a copy of their resolutions.—Windsor Ex-
press.

As the train of waggons attached to the Rapid
steam-engine were proceeding along the railway, on Thurs-
day, from Hexham, a cow in one of the pens became
alarmed at the noise made by the engine, and actually
leaped over the rails of the pen, apparently with the greatest
ease. The poor animal, though she rolled down the steep
lank, escaped without any injury, and as soon as she re-
covered herself, she gallopped after the waggons. The en-
gine was stopped and the pen taken back to the station
again, where tile cow was replaced in it, and properly se-
cured with ropes. This delay was the cause of the True
Britain coach being later in arriving in Newcastle on the
day alluded tn.—Arc/yeas/le Journal.

On Friday week two young gentlemen, named
Newall, were walking in a field near their father's resi-
dence, at Old Ford, Middlesex, when one of them, Wil-
liam James, suddenly exclaimed to his brother, " Oh, Fre-
derick, I am shot," at the same moment placinc, his hand
upon his foot, from which streams of blood issued. It was
soon discovered that Mr. Mitchell, of the John Bull, Old
Ford, and his son, were shooting larks, and not seeing the
young gentlemen, one of them had been unconsciously the
cause of the accident. Medical assistance was immediately
procured, and the patient went on well for a week ; but on
Friday last tetanus, or locked-jaw, ensued, and he died.
An inquest has been held on the body, and a verdict of
" Accidental death" returned.

A correspondent complains, and apparently with
strong reason, of the enormous charges made by the porters
at Ramsgate upon persons landing in that port from the
Continent. The following are the facts stated by our cor-
respondent. He was charged 4s. at Boulogne for putting
his baggage on board, 7s. for re-shipping it at Margate, and
4s. again for landing it at London ; while, for the bare act
of landing luggage at Ramsgate, he was charged as much
as 20s. Passengers, he adds, who had previously resisted
the payment, had met with no redress from the Magistrates.

A rumour was afloat yesterday that Count Ma-
tuszewic was drowned in the Bay of Naples, by the foun-
dering of a vessel which he was on board of. We are
happy, however, to state that we have seen a gentleman,
attached to a foreign mission, who conversed on Wednes-
day last in the Palais Royal at Paris with his Excellency.
He was in high health and spirits, and said that on account
of the cholera still raring in the Italian dominions he should
decline going there for the present.—Morning Paper.

There is much animation in the market for oils, in
consequence of the recent unfavourable intelligence relative
to the fisheries. The quotations on 'Change yesterday
were as follows :---Greenland, 40/. ; Cod, 41/. 10s. ; Sperm,
75/. ; South Sea, 42/. ; Pale Seal, 431. 10s. ; Linseed,
43/. ; and Brown Rape, 531. per ton. The price of whale-
bone has also advanced, arising from the same cause, the
quotation being 250/. per ton, which is higher than that re-
alized a few weeks since by about 851. per cent. The
price of South Sea whalebone has also risen, it being at
145/. per ton.

INcENDIARISM.—Extract of a letter from a Sussex
correspondent :—" In the parish of Changton, on the farm
of Mr. Botting, two fires have occurred in the past week.
On Wednesday a straw rick was destroyed, and on Friday a
second fire was announced, whereby a barn, filled with
wheat, a stable, rick, &c., were consumed. Two men have
been apprehended on suspicion of being the incendiaries."
Mr. J. H. Richardson, the active and enterprising
Secretary of several of the Shipping Societies at North
Shields, and returning-officer of Tynemouth, came by his
death in a melancholy manner last week. He had gone to
Thurso, in Scotland, accompanied by Mr. Bartleman, to
attend the sale of the wreck of the ship Ocean. They had
accomplished the object of their journey, and were on their
way home, when, in crossing the Meikle Ferry, at Dor-
neck Frith, by the ferry-boat, with about 17 passengers,
the boat struck on an anchor, and immediately filled. Mr.
Richardson being an excellent swimmer, was the first to
leap overboard, in order to reach the shore ; but the tide
setting off the point of land, drove him into the current,
so that those in the boat could render him no assistance.
After buffeting with the waves for some time all were saved
but Mr. Richardson, who was found floating on the surface
quite dead.
