THE PRINCESS CLOTILDE.—A letter from Turin
says Prince Napoleon is charmed with the Princess Clotilde.
And well he may be. Imagine a girl with golden-brown
hair, and a skin of pearly whiteness, just dawning into
womanhood—a form already full and round, a figure of
commanding aspect. Then the expression of the Prin-
cess's face is tenderly intellectual. Occasionally you observe
a reposeful and meditative charm ; then again her features
suddenly light up, and flash with the quick thoughts of a
mind evidently of no ordinary perception and of quick
appreciation.

DEATH OF LADY GEORGIANA WOLFF.—The
village of Isle Brewers and neighbourhood have been throWn
into estate of gloom by the sudden demise of Lady Georgiana,
the beloved wife of the Rev. Dr. Wolff, which took place
early on Sunday morning last. The deceased lady returned
from a dinner party at about half-past 11 on the previous
evening, and retired to rest in her usual state of health, when
about two o'clock in the following morning she was seized
with a suffocating sensation in the chest and a rattling in
the throat, which continued to increase in spite of every effort
which her domestics most diligently used to relieve her,
until her death, which occurred about half-an-hour after-
wards, and before her medical attendant could arrive. An
inquest was held on Monday, before W. W. Munckton,
Esq., and a respectable jury, when a verdict of " Died by
the visitation of God" was returned. This estimable lady
was a daughter of Horace Walpole, Earl of Oxford, and
born at Wolverton, Norfolk, the 19th Feb., 1795 ; she
married the Rev. Dr. Wolff in 1823, by whom she leaves
one son, Mr. Henry Drummond Wolff, who is now the
private secretary of Sir H. Bulwer Lytton.—Sherburne

Home Secretary; and Mr. Henley, President of the Board
of Trade.

Liverpool. She is 1,140 tons builders' measurement, and
classed A 1 at Lloyd's for 13 years, and is intended for the
Calcutta trade. Messrs. Thomas Vernon and Son launched
the Slieve Donard from their yard. This vessel, of 1,450
tons burden, classed A 1 for 12 years, and built for Messrs.
William Sinclair and Son, of Belfast, is the largest iron
vessel ever built at Liverpool. She is also intended for the
East India trade. At Birkenhead Messrs. Clover and
Royle launched from their yard, adjoining the woodside-
ferry, the Jessie Beazley, of 500 tons, one of the hand-
somest dippers ever built on the shores of the Mersey.
This being the first launch in the locality it was witnessed
by a vast crowd of spectators. The Jessie Beazley, which
is owned by Mr. James Beazley, of Liverpool, is also in-
tended for the East 12:44 trade. In spite of a strong
south-east breezli all the launches were perfectly successful.
