DEPARTURE OF LORD DURHAM.

EAST COWES, JULY 27, 1835.
Lord Durham and suite embarked on board of the Barham
at half-past ten this morning, under a salute from the Battery
of the Royal Yacht Squadron, and the ship, with her yards
manned, immediately got under weigh, with a fine breeze from
the westward. Lady Durham has left for London.

SOMETHING NEW FROM THE TORY VOTE
MANUFACTORY.
Mr. G. Sheddon has claimed a right to vote for four of his
sons, in right of a rent-charge of 40s. per annum, conveyed
to them on his estate here.
This part of the island is suffering much from want of
water, more indeed than ever known before.

The appointment of Earl Durham is so agreeable to
the Emperor of Russia, that his Imperial Majesty has offered
to send a ship of war, in which his Lordship and his suite may
proceed up the Black Sea. The Right Hon. Edward Ellice
left town on Saturday. He is to accompany Lord Durham to
Constantinople.
The Right Hon. Edward Ellice left town on Satur-
day. He is to accompany Lord Durham to Constantinople.
The Right Hon. Lady Blantyre, and the Right Hon.
Misses Steuart, have arrived at the Green Park Hotel, Picca-
dilly, from Leamington.
Earl Grey's proxy is in Lord Melbourne's hands :
the statement of a weekly contemporary on this subject, is,
therefore, entitled to no credit.

HANOVER, JULY 21.—Their Royal Highnesses
the Duchess of Cumberland and Prince George arrived the
day before yesterday at Heldesheim, and set out to-day for
Pyrmont.

The Marquis of Hertford's party, on Saturday, at
his Regent Park Villa, was a farewell fete to the fashionable
world, previous to his Lordship's return to Italy, where he will
remain six months.

Lord Brougham, in expectation of a long-protracted
Session, has taken the house of Lady Honywood at Peters-
ham. In the pleasure grounds attached to this mansion, and
overlooking the Thames, stands the summer house in which
the poet Gay is said to have written the greater number of his
fables.

BRITISH ASSOCIATION.--The meeting of the
British Association for the Advancement of Science will, as
already announced, commence in this city on the 10th of
August. The Provost of Trinity College is the President
elect. The Vice-Presidents elect are Lord Oxmantown and
the Rev. William Whewell, F. T. C. D. The Secretaries are
William R. Hamilton, M. R.I. A., Astronomer Royal of Ire-
land, and the Rev. Humphrey Lloyd, F. T. C. D. Dr. T. H.
Orpen is Treasurer.—Dublin Paper.
THE LATE RIGHT HON. J. PHILPOT CURRAN.
—On Thursday his mortal remains arrived in the Shannon
steamer, and were thence borne to Lyons, to be deposited for
the present in the mausoleum of the Right Hon. Lord Clon-
curry, the friend and political colleague of the illustrious dead.
The removal was attended by the son of the deceased, W. H.
Curran, Esq., and M. J. O'Kelly, Esq. The mother earth
has long yearned to receive the relics of the most distinguished
and patriotic of. her sons. Too long has it been a reproach
upon Ireland, that she suffered the remains of that great and
good man to rest in another land, " unhonoured and unwept."
His best energies were devoted to her cause ; his talents at-
tained honour and maturity in her service ; and he clung to
her with a fidelity unequalled in the history of public men.
The Irish people have at length relieved themselves from this
stigma upon the national character, whose distinguishing fea.
ture has ever been an almost idolatrous reverence of the men
who have struggled with her through her difficulties, and
exulted in her success.—Dublin Morning Register.
The late Mr. Egerton is immortalised as Henry the
Eighth in Harlowe's celebrated picture of the " Kemble
family."

We are glad to learn, by the Hampshire Indepen-
dent, the Worcester Journal, and various other provincial
Journals, that registration is going on favourably for the Re-
formers. The _Hampshire Independent says that two Re-
formers will certainly be returned for that county, instead of
the stanch Tory and the milk-and-water Tory who at present
represent one of its divisions.

TALES OF THE RAMAD'HAN.—The stories form-
ing this splendid series of fictions from the pen of Mr. St.
John, who has lately returned from the East, are distinguished
by that brilliancy of fancy and prodigality of incident which
especially characterise the fictions of the East. There is no-
thing in them of the cold formality of the western world—all
is enthusiasm and fancy—the reader is made to sympathise in
the rapture of the author ; and his marvellous inventions are
the more readily listened to, because of the great entertainment
they impart.
Mrs. Radcliffe, it is said, used to eat indigestible
suppers for the purpose of dreaming horribly ; so did also
Dryden and Fuseli : and truly all these, particularly the first
and last, have given ample proof of their success in their pro-
ductions.

INTENDED ROYAL VISIT TO GREENWICH Hos-
PITAL.—On Saturday next, his Majesty, accompanied by his
illustrious Consort and several members of the Royal Family,
intend proceeding by water to Greenwich, on a visit to the
Royal Hospital, Naval School, &c., on which occasion a grand
entertainment will be given in honour of the King to a large
party of Naval Officers by Sir T. M. Hardy, the Governor of
the Hospital. The most extensive preparations are making at
Greenwich to receive his Majesty and suite, who will embark
at Somerset House about noon, and, should the weather prove
fine, the whole line of the river from Westminster to Green-
wich will present a very splendid and animated scene; for, in
addition to the Royal barges, those of the Trinity House,
Ordnance and Navy Boards, the Lord Mayor's state barge,
and the shallops and boats of the City and other Companies,
will accompany the Royal party down the stream. The pen-
sioners—among whom are many of his Majesty's old compa-
nions in arms—and the children of the Royal Hospital School
and Naval Asylum, will be drawn out in front of the Hospital
