THE QUEEN'S HOTEL, Queenstown.—Mr.
ROBERT WILSON respectfully apprises tourists and
Families visiting this delightful watering-place, the air of
which is famed throughout Europe, that the splendid esta-
blishment so well known as the " Queen's Hotel" has come
under his management. This hotel is one of the finest in the
-United Kingdom; and besides being furnished with all the
luxuries and appliances of a First-class Hotel, it combines all
the advantages of a beautiful situation, commanding charm-
ing views, the best attendance, ample accommodation either
for families or single visitors, close contiguity to the steam-
?boat pier, and the finest promenades of Queenstown, and a
scale of prices so moderate as to enable its visitors to enjoy
all the advantages of a first-olass hotel on the same terms
they would have to pay in a minor one. From its open and
healthful situation the Queen's Hotel is also peculiarly suit-
able for invalids.

HART'S PATENT ECONOMISING GAS
BURNER, the great desideratum of the age to all con-
sumers of Gas. By its use the objections to the introduction
of Gas into private dwellings are removed, inasmuch as every
'article of gas, on reaching the orifice of the burner, is fairly
consumed, and thus the diffusion of those noxious vapours so
Injurious to health, and destructive to works of art, bindings
of books, &c., is entirely prevented.
The burner can be fitted by the most inexperienced hand to
any chandelier or bracket.

Majesty's most gracious Speech to both Houses of Parlia-
ment be taken into consideration on Friday next.
The motion was agreed to.
BOUNTY TO SEAMEN.

Sir C. NAPIER said he wished to ask the Secretary of
the Admiralty whether the proclamation for seamen, which
would expire on the 15th of the month, would be renewed.
Sir H. LEEKE said he understood it would be renewed,
but he was not in a position to speak positively on the
subject.

In reply to Sir C. NAPIER,
Mr. CORRY said it was proposed to give the bounty of
£lO and £5 to ordinary seamen, and to those already in the
service, as well as to the new men who might join.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

CALVE.

This borough is to be contested by the Conserva-
tives. Captain W. J. Marshall has entered the
field to oppose the return of the Right lion. R.
Lowe, who is a candidate to fill the vacancy caused
by the retirement of General Sir Fenwick Williams
of Kars. In the course of his address Captain
Marshall says :
" No man is more disposed than myself to recognize the
legitimate influence of property, and the introduction of a
candidate to your notice through the means of the distin-
guished statesman who is your neighbour (the Marquis of
Lansdowne) is an act, under ordinary circumstances,which
you may fairly accept and strangers ma approve. But
when a gentleman whom you have once sent
. to Parliament
as your member, whom you
.migh possibly wish to send
there again, is required to resign his seat on the instant to
make way for an ultra party man, then, gentlemen, it be-
comes a question how far your feelings will tolerate such a
transfer, and whether you are Swilling to allow it to be said
that the electors of Caine are voiceless in the matter."

FINSBURY.
The friends of Mr. Cox are pursuing a most
extraordinary course. It appears that they at-
tended Sir Morton Peto's meetings, for the purpose
of preventing him addressing the electors in expla-
nation of his political principles, and his motives in
coming forward for Finsbury. This conduct is not
at all likely to promote the interest of Mr. Cox
among the independent voters. To such an extent
has this interruption been carried, that Sir Morton
Peto's committee have advertised the discontinuance
of meetings already announced. Thus are many of
the electors deprived of the opportunity of hearing
Sir M. Peto's views on the important subjects now
engrossingthe attention of all classes, and depriving
the independent electors of all chance of questioning
Sir M. Peto on any of the leading questions of the
day. Mr. Cox will act wisely in doing all he can
to prevent future interruptions. Englishmen like
fairplay.

London, England, 1859-04-23

NORWICH.

The Liberal candidates (Lord Bury and Mr.
Schneider) issued on Wednesday night a second
address to the electors, in which they express their
thanks for the hearty and cordial support which
they have received. They continue :
" We have to decide upon the great question of Reform,
or no Reform. Our opponents and the Minister whom they
support have in vain endeavoured to shift the question
from this simple issue. But how stands the fact ? Par-
liament is dismissed, and why ? We are told that it was
not because of the rejection of the so-called Reform Bill.
If that be really so, the only reason which could justify
the step is removed. If Lord Derby had conscientiously
entertained a hope that by appealing to the country he
should obtain a reversal of the decision of the House of
Commons, he of course would have a right so to advise her
Majesty. But he has not ventured to express such a hope.
It is, therefore, most unjustifiable to inflict on the country
the inconvenience of an election without a shadow of reason,
except that, as Mr. Disraeli said, there was a majority in
Parliament against them. But, though we deprecate Lord
Derby's decision, we can have no fears for the result."

THE NAVY.

The gunboat Procus, steamed out of Plymouth Sound on
Wednesday morning to try her machinery.
The officers of the Brazilian gunboats visited Devonport
dockyard on Wednesday, and on Friday morning they
sailed for the Brazils.

The paddle-wheel steam-vessel Rhadamanthus, 4, Master-
Commander Frederick R. Sturdee, from Pembroke, arrived
on Wednesday night at Plymouth, where she embarked
supernumeraries, and took in tow the brig Britomart for
Faversham Creek.
The steam .store-ship 'Urgent, Commander M'Douald,
arrived on Wednesday night at Plymouth, and having
transferred supernumeraries to the screw steam-frigate
Termnant, 25, Captitin Robert Hall, proceeded to Ports-
mouth.

The Turkish line-of-battlo ship Fethia went outside
Plymouth Sound on ThursdNy to try her speed at the
measured mile. She will sail for the Mediterranean in
about 10 days. •
The screw steamship Algiers, 91, Captain W. D.
O'Callaghan, from Portland, arrived on Thursday at
Plymouth "and discharged her powder. She is going up
harbour to be docked.

The screw steamship London, 90, was taken to the first-
class moorings in Hamoaze on Thursday.
The Wellington, 72, at Devonport, was brought down

ward, arrived at Plymouth on Thursday.

SCOTCH. REPRESENTATIVE PEERAGE.:---At the
customary election of 16 representative Peers for Scotland,
which will be held at Holyrood Palace shortly after Easter,
there will' be three vacancies to fill up, even if the other 13
should be all re-elected as a matter of course. Two vacan-
cies are occasioned by the bestowal of the English Barony
of Strathspey on the Earl of Seafield, and the intended
grant of a similar honour to Lord Elphinstone, as already
announced by Lord Derby, in his place in
from Parliament. The
third vacancy will arise the retirement of Lord Sin-
clair, who has long been the senior representative Peer, and
who has nearly completed the 91st year of his age, and
the oldest member of the Upper House, with the single ex-
ception of Lord St. Vincent. We understand that the
Earls of Haddington and Morton and Lord Saltoun have
announced themselves, as candidates for the expected and
actual vacancies. It is remarkable that the late Earl of
Morton, and also the late Lord

IRELAND.

BANDON (BOROUGH).
Mr. Shaw, Liberal Conservative, declines con-
testing the borough, so that it is not likely there
will be any change in the representation.

CARLOW (BOROUGH).
Mr. Gridley, the Liberal candidate, is said to
have resigned, and the probability now is that
there will be no opposition to the re-election of Mr.
Alexander.

DUBLIN (CITY.)
The Liberals are still in search of a colleague for
Mr. Brady. Mr. Martin, jun., who is extensively
connected with the timber interest, has been ear-
nestly solicited to come forward, but as yet he has
made no sign. An aggregate meeting of the party
is to be held at the Rotundo on. Monday, which is
expected to produce a second candid.ate. The
Conservatives are leaving no stone unturned to
secure the re-election of the late members.

changed in value. Very little doing in beans.

WAKEFIELD—APRIL 21.
In consequence of small arrivals, owing to contrary winds
prevailing, the show of wheat was very limited; from the

was only moderate, but last day's rates were fully main-
tained on the sales which took place. Fine barley steady;
other sorts dull. Beans in request at higher prices. Other
articles unaltered.

NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYME.

It appears that Mr. Christy, one of the present
members, has definitely retired, and the candidates
now in the field are Mr. Jackson, the present Libe-
ral member, and Mr. G. Jeffries and Mr. Murray,
both Conservatives.

I NEWPORT (ISLE- OF WIGHT).
Mr. Flower, one of the Liberal candidates, has
retired, but Mr. W. M. Cooke still remains in the
field. • The Conservative candidates, Messrs. Kin-
naird and Powys, have completed their canvass; and
are confident of success.
London, England, 1859-04-23

GREENWICH.

Mr. Alderman Salomons has issued his address
soliciting re-election. In it he says :
"The new Parliament will have to dezd with the impor-
tant questions of reform in the representation of the people,
the Indian finance, church-rates, ballot, and improvement
in our laws, all of which should be considere,i.in a liberal
and comprehensive spirit. There is no queseon. of more
importance to yourselves than a measure for equitafilY rating
the Government establishments, which would afford jus_it relief
to many of the most hard-working and industrious inha-bit-
ants of your borough. I need not assure you of my rea:lY
support of such efficient naval and military establishments;
as may seem necessary for the security and dignity of this
great country."

LAUNCESTON.
In consequence of the retirement of the pre-
sent
member for this borough, the Hon. J. W.
Percy, on account of the state of his health, Sir
Brenton Haliburton, the author of " Sam Slick,"
has announced himself as a candidate in the Con-
servative interest. A few days ago he addressed a
public meeting of the electors, and was well re-
ceived. In his address he says :-
4, At a time like the present, when an unscrupulous at-
tempt has been made to Americanise the institutions of this
country, and to derange the well-balanced machinery of our
excellent constitution, vague professions and ambiguously
expressed opinions are alike insulting to electors and un-
worthy of men of honour. It is essential that there should
be no mistake as to the political sentiments of your repre-
sentatives. It would be paying a poor compliment to the
increased intelligence of the age to assert that we had made
so little progress during the long period that has elapsed
since the passing of the Reform Bill that a further exten-
sion of the franchise was not needed ; but there is a wide
difference between a well considered and prudent measure
for this purpose, and a revolutionary scheme like that re.
cently promulgated by the advocates of democracy. To con-
serve the constitution of the country is by no means incom-
patible with repairing, amending, or enlarging it, to meet
the requirements of a population rapidly increasing in edu-
cation, in numbers, and in wealth. Rash alteration in its
structure can but endanger the edifice. I am prepared to
support the Administration of Lord Derby, because I be-
lieve that he possesses the skill, firmness, prudence, and libe-
rality required to deal with the matter of reform, because I
feel that his management of our foreign affairs is alike con-
ducive to the safety and honour of this kingdom, and be-
cause I know from personal experience that our colonial re-
lations have never been so ably conducted as they now are
under the present Government."

FRANCE.

PARIS, FRIDAY.
The Emperor has given orders for the assembling
of a French army at Lyons.
Another Council of Ministers was held yesterday
afternoon at the Tuileries, the Emperor presiding.
Both Prince Jerome and Prince Napoleon were
present.
The Gazette de Lyons states that the 7th and
23d Regiments of the line in garrison in Marseilles
and the 34th and 37th Regiments of the line in
garrison at Toulon will form, along with a regi-
ment of Zouaves expected from Algeria, a 7th
division of the army of Lyons. General
Bourbaki has arrived at Lyons to take the
command of the division to which he was
recently appointed. The General was a pupil
of St. Cyr, took part in the campaigns of Italy,
was at the Alma, Inkermann, and Malakoff,
and on his return from the Crimea had a com-
mand in the expedition of Kabylia. He is one of
the youngest French generals. General Trochu
has also arrived at Lyons. One of the brigades
of the division of General Bourbaki is commanded
by General Ducros, and is composed of the 46th
and 59th of the line and another regiment.
BOURSE, April 22. The official refusal of
Austria, and her ultimatum to Sardinia, was con-
sidered on 'Change as paramount to a declaration
of war, and the market has been consequently very
heavy, owing to large sales effected. Threes have
declined to 64f. 90c. ; Mobilier, to 580 f. ; Austrian,
470 f. ; Lombardo-Venetian, 475 f. ; Orleans, 1,195 f.
Northern, 885 f. ; Southern, 495 f. Lyons, 790 f.;

SUFFOLK (EAST).

Colonel A. S. Adair, the Liberal candidate,
addressed the electors at Woodbridge on Thursday
afternoon. The gallant colonel was well received
by about 500 persons who had assembled on the
occasion, and who gave him three cheers on the
conclusion of his address. A joint central committee
for securing there-election of the Attorney-General
and Lord Henniker has been formed at Ipswich,
Sir E. C. Kerns? n acting as chairman. The contest
will probably lie between Colonel Adair and Lord
Henniker.

SUFFOLK (WEST).
It appears that a large section of the Conserva-
tive party are much chagrined at the retire-
ment of Captain Bennet from the representation
of this constituency, in order to avoid any
contest between Major Parker and Earl Jermyn.
A meeting, attended by 400 persons, was held on
• Wednesday, at the Town•hall, Bury St. Edmund's,
and several gentlemen having expressed their
opinion that Captain Bennet was not the " Jonah
to be thrown overboard," the Rev. J. T. Walters,
rector of Steadishall, moved the following resolu-
tion :

"That this meeting, regretting the retirement of their
old and valued member, Captain Bennet, and the reasons
that have induced him to take that course, and entirely be-

Conservative choice of this division, and to have the first
claim on their support, pledge themselves to propose and
second him on the day of nomination, and in the meantime
to use every exertion to procure his re. election."
On this it was proposed that an effort should be
made to return both Captain Bennet and Major
Parkerand the chairman (Mr. J. T. Ord), proposed
that the words "and not Major Parker" should be
struck out of the resolution, which, thus amended,
was carried with one dissentient.

GREENWICH.

Mr. Alderman Salomons has issued his address
soliciting re-election. In it he says
The new Parliament will have to deal with the impor- I
tant questions of reform in the representation of the people,
the Indian finance, church-rates, ballot, and improvement I
in our laws, all of which should be considered in a liberal
and comprehensive spirit. There is no question of more
importance to yourselves than a measure for equitably rating
the Government establishments, which would afford just relief
to many of the most hard-working and industrious inhabit.
ants of your borough. I need not assure you of my ready
support of such efficient naval and military establishments
as may seem necessary for the security and dignity of this
great country."
London, England, 1859-04-23

NORWICH.

The Liberal candidates (Lord Bury and Mr.
Schneider) issued on Wednesday night a second
address to the electors, in which they express their
thanks for the hearty and cordial support which
they have received. They continue :
" We have to decide upon the great question of Reform,
or no Reform. Our opponents and the Minister whom they
support have in vain endeavoured to shift the question
from this simple issue. But how stands the fact ? Par-
liament is dismissed, and why ? We are told that it was
not because of the rejection of the so-called Reform Bill.
If that be really so, the only reason which could justify
the step is removed. If Lord Derby had conscientiously
entertained a hope that by appealing to the country he
should obtain a reversal of the decision of the House of
Commons, he of course would have a right so to advise her
Majesty. But he has not ventured to express such a hope.
It is, therefore, most unjustifiable to inflict on the country
the inconvenience ofan election without a shadow of reason,
except that, as Mr. Disraeli said, there was a majority in
Parliament against them. But, though we deprecate Lord
Derby's decision, we can have no fears for the result."

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, APRIL 20.

According to the Hamburger Nachrichten, a
paper which sometimes has authentic information
from Berlin, the Prussian peace project is as
follows :

" Prussia offers to conclude with Austria—and, if
possible, with England—a treaty, in which the Imperial
Government shall pledge itself:-1. Either to annul the
Italian Special Conventions, or is change them into simple
treaties of defence, renouncing all and every right to inter-
fere in the internal affairs of the Italian States. 2. In
future to adopt the principle of non-intervention in its
Italian policy. 3. To reduce its position in Piacenza
to the measure stipulated in the treaties, which is simply
a right of garrison in the fortress. 4. To evacuate
the I'apal Legations at the same time that the
French quit Rome and Civita Vecchia. 5. On the Turin
Cabinet promising not to make any attack on the Aus-
trian possessions in Italy, the Imperial Government to
promise not to attack Sardinia. 6. To agree to a European
Congress, whose aim it shall be—due respect being paid to
territorial and sovereign rights—to bring about the neces-
sary measures for removing those abuses which prevail in
the Apennine peninsula (Apenninischen
" If Austria accepts the foregoing conditions, Prussia,
and, perhaps, eventually England, pledges herself-1. To
endeavour to prevent France and Sardinia from going to
war. 2. Eventually to oppose any armed intervention of
France in Italy ; and, 3. As the ally of Austria, to declare
war against France if French troops should cross the
Alps."
There is nothing unreasonable in the foregoing,
but still the last condition induces me to suspect
that the Hamburg paper has not learnt the exact
truth from its Berlin correspondent. Prussia is an
exceedingly cautious Power, and she is not likely
to do more than defend the so-called " Rhein-Linie"
(the line of the Rhine) against the French. The
Swiss Confederation is in what, in familiar parlance,
is called a "fix," both General Dufour and Colonel
Ziegler having declined to take the command of the
Federal forces. The Bund has ordered the cantons
\Vaadt and Tessin to observe the strictest neutrality.

IRELAND.

BANDON (BOROUGH).
Mr. Shaw, Liberal Conservative, declines con-
testing the borough, so that it is not likely there
will be any change in the representation.

CARLOW (BOROUGH).
Mr. Gridley, the Liberal candidate, is said to
have resigned, and the probability now is that
there will be no opposition to the re-election of Mr.
Alexander.

DUBLIN (CITY.)
The Liberals are still in search of a colleague for
Mr. Brady. Mr. Martin, jun., who is extensively
connected with the timber interest, has been ear-
nestly solicited to come forward, but as yet he has
made no sign. An aggregate meeting of the party
is to be held at the Rotundo on Monday, which is
expected to produce a second candidate. The
Conservatives are leaving no stone unturned to
secure the re-election of the late members.
London, England, 1859-04-23

NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYME.

It appears that Mr. Christy, one of the present
members, has definitely retired, and the candidates
now in the field are Mr. Jackson, the present Libe-
ral member, and Mr. G. Jeffries and Mr. Murray,
both Conservatives.

NEWPORT (ISLE OF WIGHT).
Mr. Flower, one of the Liberal candidates, has
retired, hut Mr. W. M. Cooke still remains in the
field. The Conservative candidates, Messrs. Kin-
naird and Powys, have completed their canvass, and
are confident of success.

LAUNCESTON.

- - -
In consequence of the retirement of the pre-
sent member for this borough, the Hon. J. W.
Percy, on account of the state of his health, Sir
Brenton Haliburton, the author of " Sam Slick,"
has announced himself as a candidate in the Con.
servative interest. A few days ago he addressed a
public meeting of the electors, and was well re-
ceived. In his address he says :
"At a time like the present, when an unscrupulous at-
tempt has been made to Americanise the institutions of this
country, and to derange the well-balanced machinery of our
excellent constitution, vague professions and ambiguously
expressed opinions are alike insulting to electors and un-
worthy of men of honour. It is essential that there should
be no mistake as to the political sentiments of your repre-
sentatives. It would be paying a poor compliment to the
increased intelligence of the age to assert that we had made
so little progress during the long period that has elapsed
since the passing of the Reform Bill that a further exten-
sion of the franchise was not needed ; but there is a wide
difference between a well considered and prudent measure
for this purpose, and a revolutionary scheme like that re
cently promulgated by the advocates of democracy. To con-
serve the constitution of the country is by no means incom-
patible with repairing, amending, or enlarging it, to meet
the requirements of a population rapidly increasing in edu-
cation, in numbers, and in wealth. Rash alteration in its
structure can but endanger the edifice. I am prepared to
support the Administration of Lord Derby, because I be.
lieve that he possesses the skill, firmness, prudence, and libe-
rality required to deal with the matter of reform, because I
feel that his management of our foreign affairs is alike con-
ducive to the safety and honour of this kingdom, and be-
cause I know from personal experience that our colonial re-
lations have never been so ably conducted as they now are
under the present Government."

WURTEMBURG.

A latter from Stuttgart, of the 19th says :
" From the moment that the Government of Wur-
temburg, following the example of Bavaria and of
the other States of Southern Germany, assumed a
decidedly warlike attitude, public opinion has
loudly called for the convocation of the Chambers,
and accordingly a Royal ordinance has at last been
issued, convoking them to an extraordinary session.
It is believed that the first bill brought forward
will be for according a credit of 6,000,000
florins to complete the arming of the contin-
gent which Wurtemburg will have to supply
to the Bth coops d'arinee of the Germanic Con-
federation. The Ministerial order for a forced
levy of horses must also be submitted to the Cham-
bers for their sanction, but the measure is already
being everywhere carried into execution. It appears
that, on the pressing solicitation of Austria, the Bth
corps of the Federal army, composed of the contin-
gents of Wurtemburg, Hesse, and Baden, and the
7th, supplied by Bavaria, are to be the first placed
on a war footing. It is stated that a certain num-
ber of students of the University of Tubinguen have
requested to be allowed to serve as volunteers in the
battalion of riflemen. The students of the Univer-
sities of Munich and Wurtzburg have presented a
similar request to their Government."

TYRONE (COUNTY).

The Derry Standard, a Presbyterian paper, says
that Major Blackhall, of Coolamber-park, county
Longford, is in the field as a candidate for county
Tyrone, on the tenant rights and Liberal interest,
and that he will be extensively supported by the
Presbyterian and Roman Catholic electors. Major
Blackhall is no stranger to county Tyrone. He is
an extensive landed proprietor in that county, and
a member of the grand jury, so that his claims are
sustained by local connection and by local interest.

WATERFORD (COUNTY).
Sir Edward Kennedy (Conservative) and Mr.
John Ball, late M.P. for Limerick City, are both
canvassing the electors. It is not yet altogether
certain that Mr. Power retires. Mr. Esmonde is
again in the field.
London, England, 1859-04-23

FINSBURY.

The friends of Mr. Cox are pursuing a most
extraoralnkry course. It appears that they at-
tended Sir Morton Peto's meetings, for the purpose
of preventing him addressing the electors in expla-
nation of his political principles, and his motives in
coming
.forward for Finsbury. This conduct is not
at all likely to promote the interest of Mr. Cox
among the independent voters. To such an extent
has this interruption been carried, that Sir Morton
Peto's committee have advertised the discontinuance
of meetings already announced. Thus are many of
the electors deprived of the opportunity of hearing
Sir M. Peto's views on the important subjects now
engrossing the attention of all classes, and depriving
the independent electors of all chance of questioning
Sir M. Peto on any of the leading questions of the
day. Mr. Cox will act wisely in doing all he can
to prevent future interruptions. Englishmen like
fairplay.
London, England, 1859-04-23

RICHMOND.

Mr. Rick and Mr. Wyvill, the present members,
solicit re-election. The former gentleman, in his
address, after condemning the Government Reform
Bill, says :
" It is for the country, therefore, to pronounce its opinion,
first upon this bill, then upon the expediency of dissolving
Parliament on it at a most critical juncture of affairs, when
the tranquillity and peace of Europe hang, as it were, upon
a thread, and, further still, upon the moral obligation that
the great parties of this country, whether of Govern znent
or of Opposition, should more frankly declare their guiding
principles, and more frankly adhere to them."
London, England, 1859-04-23

ROME.

A petition intended to be addressed to the Con-
gress, should it take place, is now being signed in
the Roman States. It sets forth that the peti-
tioners, " after having in vain implored the Roman
Government to alleviate the evils under which they
labour—evils which have been frequently pointed
out by Piedmont, and admitted on solemn occasions
by the delegates of the European powers—see
themselves obliged, without offending the sanctity
of religion, before which they bow, to protest
against a system of government kept up by foreign
interests, contrary to the principles of modern
civilisation, and opposed to the national independ-
ence to which they aspire. They express the hope
that the Congress will be able to put an end to the
abnormal state of the country, where apparent
order is only maintained by Austrian arms."

Advices from Bucharest of the 13th state that
the police have discovered in a low inn, kept
by a Pole, a number of bombs nearly finished, and
have arrested several men suspected of intending
to make another attempt to assassinate Colonel
Couza. Some of the persons in custody claimed
the protection of Austria, which was refused them.

A letter from Belgrade of the 10th, in the Augs-
burg Gazette, states that Prince Milosch has of late
been actively engaged in negotiating for a regular
line of French steamers, starting from Belgrade, to
carry on trade on the Danube ; and that Captain

PARIS, APRIL 22.
The Emperor Napoleon 111., having been born on April
20, 1808, has completed his 51st year.
His Majesty has signed the contract of marriage between
Lieutenant Chauvet, of the 4th Hussars, and Mdlle. Dubois,
daughter of Baron Dubois, accoucheur to the Empress.
Prince Michel Obrenowitch, of Servia, has arrived in
Paris, and alighted at the Hotel Bristol.
A letter from St. Petersburg says :—" The Empress
Dowager has adjourned her visit to Berlin, as her Majesty
desires to meet her brother, the King of Prussia, who will
not return from Italy before the middle of May. From
Berlin the Empress will go to Ems and Sehlangonbad, as
already arranged, to take the waters."

The Duchess of Manchester, after the ceremony
of the confirmation of her Royal Highness Princess Alice,
left for Kimbolton Castle, where the Countess Bloudoff

The Earl and Countess Spencer, who arrived in
town from Florence on Tuesday, after a protracted sojourn

corned by the principal tenantry.
His Excellency Sir James Hudson, our Minister
Plenir eentiary at Turin, left town last evening by the

A NEW SPIRITUAL PEER.—By the death of the
Bishop of Bangor, the Hon. and Right Rev. Dr. J. T.
Pelham, Bishop of Norwich, succeeds to a seat in the
House of Lords. The new Bishop of Bangor will not have
a seat in the Legislature until the avoidance of a bishopric
other than those of Canterbury, York, London, Durham,
and Winchester. This arrangement is in accordance with
the provisions of the act constituting the see of Manchester.
ST. PETERSBURG.—It is stated that Mr. Richard
Close, late Lieutenant in the Northumberland Light In-
fantry, and grandam of the late Mr. W. Seaife, of Halt-
whistle, 'Northumberland, has been appointed Professor of
the English Language in the University of St. Petersburg,
and presented with the 13th rank of Russian nobility, ac-
companied by a coat .of-arms.
