her gracious intention to confer the Companionship of the
Bath (civil side) upon Mr. Henry Loch, private secretary
of Lord Elgin in his late mission to China, and Mr.
Thomas Wade, Chinese secretary to the mission at Shang-
hai, who acted as chief interpreter during the late expe-
dition. Mr. Wade is now at Pekin, whither he has pro-
ceeded by order of the Envoy Extraordinary, Mr. Bruce,
to prepare for his reception at the capital.
THE PRINCE OF WALES —lt is understood that
the Prince of Wales will employ the Midsummer vacation
in the practical study of military duties and movements,
and will for that purpose visit the camp at the Curragh of
sildare. His Royal Higness will probably be attached to
the Ist Brigade, and do duty with the Ist Battalion of the
Grenadier Guards, in which corps he will go through a
course of military instruction.
ILLNESS OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.
--We are sorry to learn that during the last week his Grace
the Archbishop of Canterbury has been suffering from in-
disposition at Lambeth Palace. On Saturday the venerable
Primate was considered much better, and yesterday there
was continued amendment in his health.
The Horticultural Society's Gardens at South
Kensington will be inaugurated by the Prince Consort and
the junior members of the Royal family on the sth of June
An immense progress has been made in the work within
the last few days.
FIRE AND Loss OP LIFE. Yesterday morning a
serious fire happened in the premises belonging to Miss E.
Davies, 12, Harper-street, Red Lion-square, Holborn. It
appears that loud screams were heard to proceed from the
first floor, which attracted the attention of the other inmates,
who upon rushing up the stairs discovered the unfortunate
lady lying on the landing, completely encircled by fire.
A good supply of water having been procured the firemen
succeeded in extinguishing the fire. Medical men were ob-
tained, but they were unable to render any
