COUNT BISMARCK.---The health of Count de

sence. The count intends returning to Berlin, letters state,

We regret to hear that the state of Sir James L.
Knight Bruce's health during the last week has been veri
unsatisfactory. Sir J. L. Knight Bruce has been a Lord
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 resignn4lo. has caused the first change
winch has occ”--,:a for the last 14 years among the per-
manent judges of the Court of Chancery ; but wo under-
stand that several further changes will bo made during
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 are informed that the negotiations were carried
on for the new museum at Borlin by Herr von Offers,
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 same
time, to learn that the drawings of the Castle of Iliramare,
the present residence of the Empress, is from this time also
exhibited.

DEATII OF SIR ROBERT COLLETON, BART.—We
have to announce the death of Sir Robert Augustus DI!"
ford Graves Colleton, eighth baronet. He was born 111
1824, and was third but eldest surviving son of Sir James
Roupell Colleton, seventh baronet, by Septima Sexta Col-
leton, daughter of Admiral Richard Graves.

FUNERAL OF TILE LATE QUEEN'S HUNTSMAN.--Cll
Friday the remains of Mr. Charles Davis, the late
Queen's huntsman, were interred in Sunninghill Church-
yard, in the presence of a large number of the followers of
the Queen's hunt. At noon the body of the deceased was
conveyed from his late resideNce at Ascot, followed by
Messrs. C. and B. Davis, the relatives, Mr. Alderman
Blurt, Dr. T. Hewitt, Mr. M. H. Phillips, Mr. Edwards,
Mr. H. King, the Queen's huntsman, six men at the ken-
nel, and two of the Castle servants, to Sunninghill Church,
where the last sad ceremony was performed by the Rev. A•
M. Wale, vicar of Sunninghill, the Rev. Conyngham Ellis,
vicar of Cranborne, and the Rev. E. Pearse, incumbent of
Ascot. Lord Colville, the noble Master of the Buckhounds,
Major-General Hood, Major-General Seymour, Captain
Seymour, and Colonel R. H. Vyso met the body at the
church and witnessed the obsequies. Among the followers
of her Majesty's stag hounds present on the mournful occa-
sion were Messrs. Chater, Mason, Newman, Boyce,t Oliver
Menzies, Boswell, Allen, &c. The favourite hunter of Air
Charles Davis was shot previous to the funeral, and the
ears of the animal placed upon the coffin of the deceased.
A large number of the gentry were present at the funeral
—Windsor and Eton News.

TIIE NORWICH MUSICAL FESTlVAL.—iiionwicify
Saturday Evening.---The concert receipts of what
must now be termed the late festival were £4,679, or within
a few shillings of the amount taken in 1863, and they were
only exceeded in 1863, 1827, and 1821. At the same time,
it is rather disheartening that the continuous progress
which had been observed at the last three festivals has sus-
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; but
as the presence of the Prince and Princess of Wales, the
Queen of Denmark, and the Duke of Edinburgh, has in-
volved the committee in some additional expenses, it is
doubtful whether the net proceeds will amount to £l,OOO.
In 1863 they were £1,221. No definite information can,
however, be given on this head, as a final adjustment of
accounts will not take place until the close of the year.
The ball with which the festival was brought to a close
last evening was a brilliant and successful entertainment.
The orchestra was covered with crimson cloth, and fur-
nished with handsome chairs and settees. At the back,
and at both sides, were arranged shrubs in vases and exotic
plants. A suite of rooms which had been fitted up for the
reception of the Royal strangers ware again made avail-
able, while at Narious points of the hall there were some
settees and chairs covered with crimson velvet. Near the
west door there was a fine mirror which reflected all the
company in the hall. The orchestra for the band WO
erected on the south side and was adorned with heraldic
devices, among which were the arms of England and Den'
mark. Au elegant supper was served in a commodious
apartment used for educational purposes by the Com-
mercial Branch of the Norwich Grammar School, and
immediately adjoining the hall. The band in attendance
was that of Mr. W. Howlett, of Norwich. The ball was
opened by the Earl of Leicester and Lady Stafford. The
company present comprised the Earl and Countess of
Leicester, Lord and Lady Stafford, Lord and LAY'
Suffield, the Earl and Countess of Marr, Viscount
Itanolagh, Lord and Lady Sondes, Lord Augustus and
Lady Hervey, Viscount Duncan, Viscount Newry, the Earl'
of Orford, Sir W. Russell, Bart., M.P. ; Sir Henry and
Lady iDurrant, Sir Thomas and the Misses Gladstone,
General Shirley, the High Sheriff of Norfolk and Mrs'
Amhurst, Sir E. H. K. Lacon, Bart., M.P., and Lady
Lacon, Admiral Wodehouse, the Mayor of Norwich and
Miss Nichols, the Sheriff of Norwich, Mr. and Miss Cubitt,
Mr. C. S. Read, M.P., and Mrs. Read, Colonel Black, Co.l
and Mrs. Fitzroy, Mr. and Lady Charlotte Schreiber,. Mr'
and Lady Jane Levett, Mr. and Mrs. F. Boileau, Captain
Cater, RN., Colonel Morant, Captain Jerningham,
&c. Dancing continued till about half-past four this
morning. The ball was attended by about 550 ladies and
gentlemen, and worthily closed the Norwich featiVid f
1866.
