the cordial terms with which they had welcomed him on his
return, and trusted that the good feeling between them
might ever continie. He congratulated them on the suc-
cess of their appal to the House of Lords, which he at-
tributed more to the justice of their cause than to any exer-
tions of his; however zealous. The road from the town to
the gate was lined by the inhabitants, by whom their
Grace's were heartily cheered as they passed along.—

VISIT OF THE LORD LIEUTENANT TO DERRY.
—We are authorised to state that his Excellency the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland has been pleased to accept the in-
vitation to a public dinner, conveyed to him by Sir R. A.
Ferguson, from the citizens of Derry and the gentry of the
neighbourhood, and has named Thursday, the 24th instant,
for that purpose. His Excellency and Lady Mulgrave are
expected to arrive at Boomhall, the seat of the Lord
Bishop, to-morrow (Wednesday), to dinner. They purpose
remaining in this part of the country until Monday next,
upon which day they will set out on their return to Dublin,
paying Lord Caledon a visit on their way.--Derry Journal.

spatches for Spain.
PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 23.—. THE PRINCE DE JOIN-.
viLLE.—The Didon, a large French frigate, mounting 60
32-pounders, and carrying 465 men, Captain de Percival,
arrived here on Sunday. The Prince de Joinville, third
son of King Louis Philippe, is second Lieutenant of this
ship. The authorities of the port were instructed to re-
ceive his Royal Highness with the usual distinguished ho-
nours paid to the Blood Royal. On the arrival of the
Didon, she saluted, and was answered by the guard-ship
and citadel ; and during the day the Port-Admiral, Sir
William Hargood, Major-General Sir Willoughby Cotton,
and Captain Superintendent Ross, visited his Royal High-
ness on board the Didon. On Monday the Prince landed
at the Dock-yard, under royal salutes from the batteries
and shipping, and was escorted over the various depart-
ments. His Royal Highness also inspected the guard-ship,
and went through the new victualling-offices. In the
evening his Royal Highness dined with the Gallant Port
Admiral Hargood. On Tuesday, the Prince visited Sal-
tram, the delightful demesne of Earl Morley, and was en-
tertained at dinner by the Noble host. His Royal High-
ness appears pleased with everything that is shown him,
and is of a most urbane disposition, tenacious of giving
much trouble. The Prince is of slight make, about 18
years of age, of gentlemanly deportment, and rather sallow
complexion. The Didon will proceed from Plymouth to
Cork, to give his Royal Highness an opportunity to visit
the shores of Green Erin. She has a picked crew of offi-
cers and men, and is commissioned expressly for the Prince's
maritime tour.

SHERIFF SALOMONS.—We have been favoured
by Messrs. Swain and Co., tailors, of Fleet-street, with a
view of the state liveries that they have made for the worthy
Sheriff, and we consider them as being very splendid speci-
mens of the art of decorative tailoring. The colour of the
coats is light blue (Darnley blue), and the ornaments are
of gold ; and although there is not that profusion that
Messrs. Swain and Co. put on the dresses for Mr. Sheriff
Raphael last year, which were the most splendid ever seen,
there is a chasteness and simplicity about these that we do
not recollect to have ever before seen equalled. It has
been well remarked by a contemparary that those of Mr.
Raphael were of the Corinthian order of architecture, whilst
those of Mr. Sheriff Salomons are of the Doric order. The
waistcoats and unmentionables are of white kerseymere,
laced to match with the coats. Altogether the clothes
reflect the greatest credit on the taste of the Sheriff and
on the art and skill of the tailors.
HUNTING.--His Grace the Duke of Bedford in-
tends to build a set of kennels at Ridgmont for the purpose
of re;!ing the hounds when hunting that part of the county.
The hotni,ls have already had several excellent runs in
Aspley Wood, agended by Lord C. J. Fox Russell and the
Hon Mr. Seymour.

We understand that most extensive improvements
are in progress in the Phoenix Park, Dublin, in consequence
of suggestions made to the Government some time since ,y
Lord Duncannon. We are glad to hear that highly bene-
ficial results have already been experienced from the im-
provements which are likewise in progress upon a dis-
trict in the south of Ireland, between Cork and Tralee.
The Crown is the proprietor of this entire district, and
in thus applying, as it proposes to do, a vast sum of
money to the improvement of its own estates, it sets an
example to the landlords of Ireland, which, for the sake
of the labouring population and the general advancement
of the country, we trust they will not be slow to imi-
tate.--Dublin Register.

„
DUBLIN CONIMISSION.---AllOther of the props of
Conservatism and the Constitution has been sent to New-
gate, and the petitioners have formally abandoned the
bribery portion of their case. From this the ” vagabond"
Times, and his worthy coadjutor at the Standard, can per-
ceive how wise it is on occasions not to " hollo until one is
out of the wood." The petitioners then resumed that por-
tion of their case which alleges intimidation, and brought
forward a witness, who most satisfactorily proved the non-
existence of the facts alleged.—Dublin Register.
BLANDFORD, SEPT. 24.—There was much com-
pany upon the grounds each day, although the weather was
very unfavourable. The dinners were well attended. At
the balls there were upwards of two hundred of the nobility
present, and the dancing was kept up with the greatest
spirit until past five o'clock' in the morning. Weippert,
with his unrivalled band, attended and performed in splen-
did style the " Moscow and the " Garland" waltzes,
which were by desire repeated several times during the
evening. The whole went off with brilliant eclat.
DUELLING.—We find from the Nottingham papers
that a duel was about to take place a few evenings ago, on
the forest, near Mansfield. It appears that the parties were
Mr. Abel Mellar, of Mansfield (attended by Mr. Walkden,
of that town, solicitor, as his friend), and Mr. Unwin, of
Sutton-in-Ashfield, a magistrate of the county (accompanied
by Mr. Hall, another county magistrate, as his friend), and
a surgeon, was also in attendance. It seems, however, that
after the ground had been set out and the pistols prepared,
the parties came to an understanding and separated without
firing.

HORTICULTURAL NOVELTIES.—.TWO remarkable
novelties were exhibited at the Bath dahlia show on Thurs-
day. One was the figure of a Mexican chief holdinc, a bas-
ket of flowers, the whole form being composed of dahlias
(which flower was originally brought from Mexico), and,
difficult as the task must have been, even the features of
the warrior's countenance were very ingeniously delineated.
This figure contained no less than 150 varieties of the
dahlia, in every tint, and of every gradation of size. The
other novelty was a tree of considerable dimensions, the
trunk and branches being also composed of dahlias of an
equal number of varieties.
THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.—A consiw
derably increased demand is expected for the forthcoming
Numbers of this spirited publication, in consequence of the
powerful aid it is again destined to receive from the pen of
Mr. Thomas Campbell, who is about to publish in its con-
secutive Numbers, the result of his late Travels to Algiers,
&c., under the title of " Letters from the South," and from
what we have heard on the subject, we believe we may con-
gratulate the Proprietor in having obtained for his Maga-
zine one of the most interesting series of articles ever com-
municated to any periodical.
DUNBAR, SEPT. 22.—The weather for the last
fourteen days has been changeable. Until yesterday, there
has not been one day wholly dry, and it has rained all to-
day very heavy, and still, at this hour (four o'clock) seems
very unsettled. In consequence what grain has been
stacked for the last fortnight has been secured by starts,
and cannot be in very good condition. In the low lands
most of the white crop is now in the barn-yard, but little or
none of the black crop has been as yet led in. In some
heavy clay farms, low situated, very little grain has been
secured. Among the hills shearing is not yet finished, and
the stocks, principally of oats and barley, are in many fields
considerably sprung. If fine weather does not soon come,
the injury will be very serious. White turnips are in mast
fields looking well, but the early Swedish turnips have suf-
fered considerably by mildew. Young grass, which in
roany farms looked very ill, has been improved greatly by
ti:,A rains,

Mr. Rae Wilson adduces as a proof of the length
of time during which the vital principle of vegetables may
be preserved, the fact that a bulbous root found in the
hand of an Egyptian mummy, where it had been 2,000
years, germinated, and when put in the ground grew
vigorously.

A young whale, weighing about two tons, was
washed in upon Woolacombe Sands, North Devon, last

was taken.—Western Luminary.

tend.—Allgenzeine Zeitung, Sept. 21.

An old lady of Marseilles, already twice a widow,
and aged ninety-three, about two years since married a'

A circular has been sent round to the Magistrates

which is borne by individuals.
CHURCH REFORM.—Two sinecure rectories hav-
ing lately become vacant in the diocese of St. Asaph, one
in the patronage of the Bishop, and the other in the present
gift of the Archbishop of Canterbury, both these Prelates
have determined not to fill up the vacancies until the Com-
missioners have reported upon this important branch of in-
quiry.— Worcester Journal.

The progressive improvement that has taken place
throughout all Scotland for the last quarter of a century in
no part has made greater strides than the Highland and
northern districts. Good roads are made, and public con-
veyances pass in many new directions. Having lately bad
occasion to visit that country, we were ple,:sed to have the
convenience of an omnibus all the way from Inverness to
Cromarty.

SUlClDE.—Yesterday Mr. W. Cole, formerly a
publican, who for some time past resided at the house of
Mr. Torge, tailor, in Park-street, committed suicide by
suspending himself to the post of his bed. It appears that
the unfortunate deceased had on the day of his death made
an application to the parish officers, and being unsuccessful,
the circumstance preyed upon-his mind, and it is suppos©d
induced him to commit the fatal act.

On Monday last the manor of Laverstock and Ford,
extending over about 1,500 acres of-land, and Ford Farm,
comprising 377 acres of arable, meadow, pasture, and down
lands, with a newly-erected farmhouse, together with seven
cottages and gardens, and the reversion in fee of two lease-
hold tenements, were put up at 7,5001., and, after a spirited
contest, were knocked down for 13,0001. to Wadham
Wyndham, Esq.; M.P.—Salisbury Journal.
COAL MINE AT MOUNT LEBANON.—A bed of
coal has been recently discovered at Carnayl, on Mount
Lebanon, and the agents of Mahomet Ali, under the guid-
ance of an English gentleman, are exploring it with all the
energy the nature of the country admits. It is about three
miles north of the great road leading from Beirout to
Damascus, and about eighteen miles from the former city.
It is a black bituminous coal, and burns readily, and with
a clear yellow flame.
ITALY.—The cholera still fills the Italians with
anxiety ; but at Rome it has had the good effect of inducing
the people to conquer the habit of burying their dead in the
churches of the city, and several burying-grounds are pre-
paring outside the walls. One was consecrated on the 3d
inst. The services of Our Lady are as actively called into
operation in Rome as in Bavaria and Spain, the dread of
the cholera being apparently the principal motive for th
increase of devotion.

Munich and the surrounding towns are filled with
persons flying from the cholera in Italy, As the cholera
did not, during its last appearance in Europe, penetrate into
Bavaria, the Bavarians persuade themselves that they are
safe from its ravages, which the peasants attribute to the
special intervention of the Virgin on their behalf. Why she
should be so particularly solicitous about Bavaria does not
appear.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, SEPT.23.—The
demand for Cotton has been tolerably fair to-day, but the
quantity which is brought into the Market imparts a tem-
porary flatness, especially in the lower descriptions, which
would not be otherwise observable. The sales amount to
about 2,000 bags, of which 300 have been taken for ex-
port. The business of the day consists of 49 Pernams,
12id. ; 20 Egyptian, 151 d. ; and 1,940 American, Bd. to
11 id. Total, 2,000 bags.

On Wednesday a portly dame, from the neighbour-
hood of the Potteries, attended by her son, a smiling young
man in the dress of a mechanic ,applied to Mr. Bolton,
who sat for the Mayor, for his assistance under a circum-
stance which they stated to be one ofconsiderable annoyance.
The object of their application was, that the constables
might be directed to apprehend a young woman, or other-
wise prevent her from sleeping in an outhouse adjoining
the applicant's house, to which she was in the habit of re-
sorting almost every night.—Hull Observer.

The father of James Joy, now a prisoner in St.
Augustine's, for firing the wheat stacks at Sturry Court,
died in the early part of last week, and, as we are informed,
in a state of delirium. The poor man could not stand up
against the shock of the calamity which had overtaken him,
with respect to his ill-fated son. The deepest commiseration
is felt for the situation of his widow, thus suddenly plunged
into the double affliction of losing her husband and seeing
her eldest son awaiting his trial for a capital offence.—

ANOTHER ACCIDENT, ATTENDED WITH Loss
OF LIFE, ON TIIE BIRMINGHAM RAILROAD.—On Thurs-
day evening, at seven o'clock, a number of miners were at
work in one of the shafts near to Chalk Farm, when an im-

THE LATE EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—Monday
last Mr. Hewitt, who had been sent after the person sup-
posed to be concerned with Byron and Leach, in the rob-
bery of Mr. Hird's, stated to the Mayor the course he had
taken, though without success, to overtake the fugitive.
Tile prisoners, who, during the reading of several portions
of the evidence, had been very flippant, made no defence,
but merely denied their guilt. They were committed for
trial.—Hull Observer.
