APPROACHING MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE.

We understand a matrimonial alliance is arranged to
take Va.., between the Lady A;nes Graham, eldest
daughter of the Duke of Montrose, and Mr. Daven-
port, of Capes Thorne, in the county of Chester. Mr.
Davenport, it will be remembered, is son of the present
Lady Hathert)n.

Amarriage is also about to take place between Count
Wilhtlai von Zeppelin (brother of Count Louis von
Z ppelin, Chamberlain of the King of Wurtemberi) and
Mabella Francee, eldest daug“tc'r of the Hon. John
Henry and Lady Mabelia

Her Royal Highness te Duchess of Kent, attended
by Lady Augusta Bruce and Sir Geo. Cooper, arrived
at Clarence Rollie, St. James'e, yesterday morning.
Her Royal Highness returned to Frogmore in the after-
noon.

Maria Marchioness of Ailesbury has arrived at C'a-
ridge's Hotel from a tour of visits.
The Countess Rembinski and family have left the
Brunswick Hotel for Ostend.
Sir Fran&s and Laly Scott have arrived at Claridge's
Hotel from Great Barr Hall, Birmingham.
Mr. and Lady Mary Stanley have arrived at Cl :ridge's
Hotel, from Brighton.
Mr. and Mrs. Schofield have left Farrance's Hotel,
Belgravia, for Naples.
Th© market for silver is flat, and it seems that the
dispontion to send gold for purchases on the continerrt
has greatly subsided.
THE " LEVIATHAN."—We understand that the por-
tions of the machinery and apparatus disabled during
the abortive attempt to launch the " Leviathan," on
Tuesday last, are now in course of being replaced, aed
that when this has been accomplished measures will
be immediately taken to bring the vessel lowcr down
the ways. The intention of the engineer appears to
be to take her gradually down to the cud of the in-
cline, and to allow her to await there the moment of
her being set afloat by the tide. It is probable, there
fore, that the launch will have been quietly effected
before the public have any intimation of the occurrence,
and that the next thing we hear of her will be that
she has been taken to Deptford to fit.
THE LEVIATHAN (s).—At a meeting of the directors
of the E astern Steam Navigation Company on Wed-
nesday, it was reported that there was not the least
twist or deflection in the Leviathan, and that she sits
as fairly on her cradles as she did on the morning of the
day of the attempted launch. Although her position is
a few feet nearer the river, yet she lies on her old
ground, and is no more liable to settle down than she
has been for the last twelve months. The whole work
remains firm and solid. 5.3038 alterations, however, are
to be made in the chains on the river when her launch is
again attempted. On inquiry yesterday morning at the
Poplar Hospital into the state of the sufferers, it was as-
certained that Donovan who is far advanced in years, con-
tinues in a very,sad way, and it is feared that he may not
recover. The three ()there are going on snore favour-
ably. Stacey, who received a fracture of the leg, also
sustained a severe blow on the lower part of the abile-
men. One of the men states that he was thrown full
eighteen feet into the air by the crank. The change of
the ship's earns was only determined on the day pre-
vious to the attempted launch.
At a meeting of the creditors of Carr, Brothers, and
Co., of Newcasile, who failed on the 6.11 of August, the
inspectors, through AV. C •leman, reported the result cf.
the further inveetigaan into the affairs of the establish-
ment, and as to the compositions offered by parties to
the bills on which the firm were liable. It appeared that
thcre was a small increase in the amount of the liabilities,
but that the statements as to the working of the col-
lieries during the fist seven months of this year were
more favourable than had been anticipated. A ques-
tion was raised and considerably discussed as to the ad-
rais-ibility of certain bills negotiated for or in conjuuc•
tion with Messrs. Carr and Co's business, and it was
ultimately agreed that such bills should be admitted to
rank on the estate, and the inspectors were authorised
to have the necessary deeds prepared for carrying out
the arrangement.

GOVERNESSES' BENEVOLENT INSTITIITION.—A gene-
ral court of this institution was held yesterday at the
Hanover-square Rooms for the purpose of electing three
annuitants of 201 , from a list of 136 candidates. The
Right Ifon. the Berl of Harroalay presided. The °lee
Lion commenced at 12 o'clock and &used at ,two. The
court then proceeded to cast up the votes, and at four
o'ciock announced that the three successful candidates
were Miss Fanny Lee, 3,172 ; Mrs. Anne Clemente,
2,709 ; and Miss Hariet Noakes, 2,696. In addition to
these, 101. had been collected for the highest unsuccess-
ful candidate, and the board prop -sod to lessen the dis-
appointment of failure by giving 101. to each of the next
five upon the poll. • The unsuccessful candidates were—
Miss Matiaz:neVernon, 2,660 ; Miss Sarah C. 13sedinia,
2,224 ; Miss Emma H. Weldon, 2,070; Miss Amelia L.
Kinholl, 2 023 ; Miss Frances Kent 1,987 ; and Miss
Elizabeth Je•fft•rys, 1,903. The culla then broke up.
The Panorama in Leicester-square, any. the Strand
Theatre, are to be sold by auction, by Mr. Robins, next
Thursday, at tile mart, by direction of the administrator
of the late Mrs. Barker, whose father made a large for-
tune by the invention of this peculiar mode of exhibiting
views of the most interesting cities and countries. Ti ere
properties are held on lease by Mr. Bur:ord, the welt-
known n 1 enterprising manager and painter of the
panoramas fur many years yast, and yield a profit rent of
4401. a year. A concise history of the Panorama was
published after Mr. Barker's death, affording an inte-
resting account of the progress and success of this long-
established and favourite exhibition under his manage•
meet, showing the result of genius and its appreciation
by the public, whieli no doubt Mr. Burford, the present
lessee, can also Abundantly testify.
