State of Feeling in Hanover.

The following extracts are from a private letter
written by a resident in Hanover :
"Our city is mourning, all and every one, the loss of our
beloved Queen, who has left us for her beautiful castle not
far from Hanover, called the Marienburg. Her departure
has thrown a deep gloom upon us all. It was such a solace
and comfort to the citizens seeing her now and then driving
into the town, and blessing her with our hearts and wards.
Now this our last comfort is passed from us, and all seems
dark and gloomy. Everybody who lives in Hanover must
soe and know how our enemy is hated, and how our own
royal family was and ever will be warmly beloved and re-
spected. The Prussians know this very well, and their
situation among us is not to be envied.
"In Hanover all is forbidden to be published which is
not favourabie to Prussian ideas. The private property of
our beloved King they have taken possession of.
"At the birthday of our Crown Prince every demonstra-
tion was forbidden. Noyellow and white flags—our colours
—were allowed to be hung out, and service in the churches
forbidden ; but there was hardiy a house that had not got
its windows decorated with yellow and white. Every shop
also was decorated, except one —that of a capmaker—who
had put in his window the Prussian military cap, and for
that had his shop broken to pieces. Yellow and white
gravel or sand was strewn before every house. The cake
leading to the Queen's palace—she was then in Hanover—
was full of young girls in white dresses and yellow ribbons,
with bouquets and wreaths, going before the palace to
sing. There were young boys in yellow scarfs, young
men in yellow neck-ties ;in fact, everybody had on some-
thing of these colours. It is an untruth of the English
papers to assert that this conquest of the Prussians is in
accordance with the feelings of the North of Germany.
_"Thera-svaa ayever a peopl.4 more bated than the Prus-
sians. There is a party of Radicals, the same kind as Mr.
Bright's party in England, who have nothing to lose, and
hope by every change to win something. This party has
for years been trying to undermine the influence of the
King, and had been playing into the hands of the Prus-
sians, and acting the spy over the King. This party hopes
to get something from Prussia, who has promised them all
kinds of liberty and glory, which, of course, they will never
get. The Democrats are already beginning to see that
they are being used by Bismarck for the profit of Prussia,
who will throw them off when they are of no more service.
"Our Queen tried to keep her departure a secret, not to
excite her poor unhappy people, but hundreds were there.
She left quite early in the morning, and her carriage was
literally covered with flowers—all her subjects weeping
their bitter tears. She stood up to take a last farewell of
her home, and then sank back bathed in tears. Her castle,
Marienburg, is beautiful. There at least she will not have
the Prussians always before her eyes, as the castle is situated
on a hill by itself, not far from the town of Hanover. She
has not left the kingdom, nor does she mean to do so. The
crowd were all kept back on the morning of her departure
by double Prussian pickets with drawn swords. Tho peo-
ple only wept, but were otherwise quiet. All the first
families have left Hanover, and live retired on their estates,
and all have put on mourning for the loss of their King.
" The Crown Prince was congratulated by hundreds and
thousands of people on his birthday. He writes to thank
them, and, not being allowed to publish anything openly,
the letters are pushed in under the doors of his subjects.
"A curious accident happened on the first attempt to
hang the Prussian flag on one of the King's palaces. Just
as they had hoisted it it broke off, fell into the river flow-
:g close to the palace, and was carried away by the stream.
took some time to recover it."

THE "ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH" BARONETS.—
Daniel Gooch, Bart., M.P., has the honour of being
the first engineer upon whom the honour of a baronet ha
been bestowed. Sir Daniel Gooch was for many yearss
locomotive superintendent on the Great Western line,
and is now the chairman of the company. He was ono

when its own proper funds were exhausted. Oa the re-
construction of the Hudson's Bay Company, Sir C. Lamp-
son was elected to the post of deputy governor, and in that
capacity his great knowledge of the trade and his business-
like capacity have proved of great value to the manage-
ment of the affairs of that corporation. Mr. Peabody no-
minated Sir C. Lampson as one of the trustees of the mag-
nificent fund which ho founded, and, is conjunction with
Lord Stanley and Sir E. Tennent, the management of that
fund has been such as to realise with the most marked
success the wishes and designs of its benevolent founder.
• Tho new baronet is the owner of a fine estate at Rowfant,
near East Grinstoad, and the old Tudor mansion, a moated
grange, is preserved as an almost sacred trust. Sir Curtis
has two sons, both of whom were educated at Cambridge,
and who will shortly, on his retirement, succeed to the
whole of his business in which they are at present partners.
