APPROACHING MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE.

We understand a matrimonial alliance is arranged to
take place between the Lady -Agnee Graham, eldest
daughter of the Duke of Ntontrose, and Mr. Daven-
port, of Capee Thorne, in the county of Coaster. Mr.
Davenport, it will be remembered, is son of the present
Lady Hathert:n.
A marriage is also about to take place between Count
Wilhelm you Zeppelin (Drotber of Count Louis von
Zeppelin, Ciaarnberlaia of the King of Wurtemberg) and
Mabel.% Frances, eldest daughter of the Hon. John
Henry and Lady Mabella Kn

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

Marla Marchioness of Ailesbury has arrived at Ca-
ridge's Hotel from a tour of visits.
Tha Countess Rembinski and family have left the
Brunswick Hotel for Ostend.

Sir Francis and Lady Scott have arrived at Claridge's
Hotel from Great Barr Hall, Birmingham.
Mr. and Lady Mary Stanley have arrived at Claridge's
Hotel, from Brighton.
Mr. and Mrs. Schofield have left Farranca's Hotel,
Belgravia, for Naples.
The market for silver is flat, and it seems that the
disposition to send gold for purchases on the continent
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, and
that when this has been accomplished measures will
be immediately taken to bring the vessel lower down
the ways. The intention of the engineer appears to
be to take her gradually down to the end 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 Eastern 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. Some 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 others are going on more favour-
ably. Stacey, who received a fracture of the leg, also
sustained a severe blow on the lower part of the abdo-
men. One of the men states that he was thrown fall
eighteen feet into the air by the crank. The change of
the ship's name was only determined on the day pre-
vious to the attempted launch.
At a meeting of the creditors of Carr, Brothers, and
Co., of Newcastle, who failed on the 6th of August, the
inspectors, through Mr. Coleman, reported the result of
the further investigation into the affairs of the establish-
ment, and as to the compositions offered by pasties to
the hills on which the firm were liable. It appsared that
there was a small increase in the amount of the liabilities,
hut that the statements as to the working of the col-
lieries during the first seven months of this year were
more favourable than had been anticipated. A ques-
tion was raised and considerably discussed as to the ad-
mis,ibility of certain bills negotiated for or in conjunc-
tion with Messrs. Carr and Co's business, and it was
ultimately agreed that such bills should be almit'.ed to
rank on the estate, and the inspectors were authorised
to have the neceseaey 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
annuitaete of 20/ , from a list of 136 candidates. The

o'clock announced that the three successful candidates

2,709 ; and Miss Harlot Noakes, 2,696. In addition to
these, 101. hal been collected for the highest unsuccess-
ful candidate, and the beard prop'sed to lessen the dis-
appointment of failure by giving 101. to each of the next
five upon the poll. The unsuccessful candPates were—
