lated from Ripon to the see of Durham, commenced the
primary visitation of his diocese on Saturday last at

We regret to announce the demise of Anna Maria,
Marchioness Dowager of Ely, who expired at Hampton
Court Palace on Sunday last. The dec3ased Marchioness
was the eldest daughter of the late Sir Henry Watkin
Dashwood, Baronet, of Kirtlington-park, 0 Son, and
married, in 1810, John, second Marquis of Ely, by
whom she had a numerous family. Her ladyship was
Maid of Honour to her Majesty Queen Charlotte, and
for some years Lady of the Bedchamber to her Majesty
Queen Adelaide. She wit; born in 1785, and was con-
sequently in her 731 year.

Despatches have been received from K de Bount,
Governor of New Caledonia, in which he informs the
Government that he was busy with the necessary ar-
rangements for the reception of political prisoners at the
Isle of Pines.

The Emperor bas :provisionally suspended the execu-
tion of a decree that had been preparecrestablishing free
trade in butcher's meat in Paris. A report on the sub-
ject, addressed to his Majesty by the Peered of Police,
is.understood to be the cause of the suspension.
The Count and Countess of Wale*ski have left
Paris f)r Biarritz. Before his departure the Count
had several important diplomatic conferences. He will
return in time to acaompany the Eliperer to Stuttgard,
and attend the interview with the Emperor Alexandtr,
at which it is said that other crowned heads will be
present. The interview itself arises out of invitations
from the King of Wurtemberg.. Although it has been
said that the Empress of Russia would go to Siuttgard,
this 'appears uncertain. It is stated that one of the
best French artists has been engaged by the Emperor
toga the capital of Wurtemberg, and execute a picture
representing the neeeting, between the two Emperors.
ROME AND MEXICO.—The latest intelligence from
Rome is highly favourable to the arrangement of the
pending difficulty between Mexico and the iloty see.
Tne reports of the state of trade in the manufacturing
towns for the past week show an increase of business at
Manchester. At Birmingham and elsewhere there has
been but little alteration, the transactions in most cases
being on a full average scale, at steady price..
NAPLES AND THE WESTERN POWERS.—A reconcilia-
tion between Naples and the Western Powers is spoken
of in Paris as highly probabra. The question, it is said,
will' be discussed at the meeting of the Emperors at
Stuttgard.

TIIIS GREAT FALL OF NIA GARA.—The followinr, is an
American extract from an album kept at the Niagara
Hotel :

"Next to the bliss of seeing Sarah,
Is that of seeing Niagara." !
REDSCHID PACHA.—Little doubt appears to be enter-
tained of the statement circulated yesterday, that Red-
schid Pacha is dismissed from his post of President of
the Tanzimat. It has not yet, however, been positively
confirmed.
THE LATE ELECTIONS IN FRANCE.It has long been
considered as certain that General Cavaignac will not
take the oath of fidelity necessary to enable him to sit in
the Corps Legislatif. As "regards MM. Goudehaux ,and
Cernot, their refusal i$ said to be less sure. The French
electors are applying great pressure to induce them to
accept the indispensable preliminary. -
DELHI AND SURROUNDING COUNTRY.—A chrome-
lithographic engraving of Delhi and the surrounding
country has recently been published by Mr. Stanford,
the popular map and chart publisher, of Charing-cross,
and cannot fail to be most acceptal le as a print, present.
ing to view at a glance the very core of the great mutiny
in Hindostan. It is drawn by A. Maclure from native
aed other original sketches, and gives every evidence e f
its authenticity. "
THE NEW CounT OF PROBATE. —The act to establieb
the New Court of Probate has been printed. It extends
to 119 clauses and two schedules. The tile is "An Act
to Amend the Law relating to Probate and Letters of
Administration in_ England." The new law is to come
into operation not sooner than the let Januaty next-, as
her Majesty by order in council shall direct.- The testa-
mentary jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical and other court:
is abolished.
THE ATTACK ON FORT DIAMANTE.— A telegraphic
despatch from Genoa mentions that the sentence of the
divisiotal court-martial on the gendarme (a staff sol-
dier in charge of the buildings of the fort), who was
tried for negligence in the affair of the attack on the
D.ama t _Leo t oil the 29 hof June,:had been published,
and that it condemned the prisoner to eight years'.
mill ary imprisonment. A private of the Bth Regiment,
who had been sentry at the fort on that occasion, was
also tried, but had been aequitted by the Court.
-ROYAL FREEMASONS' GIRLS' SCHOOL—We perceive
from a eircu'ar we have received that' the exeellent trea-
surer of this institution, Mr. B. B. Cabbell, has invited
the children (nearly 70 in number) to ace impany him to
the Crystal Palace, on Thursday next, when the whole
expense he defrayed by him. The children are to
dine at one o'clock, and such of the brethren and their
friends who take an interest in the procreclings will inset
them. It being the seconfl day of the flower show, there
can be no doubt of a numerous attendance. • -.
MORALS OF THE VIENNESE.—It appears from the sta-
tistics published by the Common Coancil bureau of Vienna
that the number of i'legtimate birthS in that city has
almost equalled the number of t legitiwate births dur-
ing the four years from 1853 to 1356. The following
are the figures on the subject :-1853. Legitimate births,
11,264 ; i legitimate births, 10,6186. 1854. Legitimate
births, 11,252; illegitimate, 10 801. 1855.• Legitimate
births, 10,650 ; illegitimate, 9,522. 1856. Legitimate,
10.870 ; il!egitimate, 10,311.
FRENCH POSTAL STATISTICS ...Since the postal reform
in France, the number of letters distributed by the
post--ffice has enormously increased. Ia 1355 1:;
amounted to 251,997,290. The custom of prepaying has
also taken a great extension ; in 1849 post-office stamps
were sold to the amount of 4,446,766!r ; in 1857 to
that of 32,699,240 tr. The total receipts of the p est-
office, which in 1849 were 42,034,8501 r., were in 1856
55,831,1301 r. The latter sum exeeeded the expenses by
19,494,130 fr. The number of c•reployes of the,p )sa-office,
including supernumeraries, is about 28,000, 15,713 of
them being letter-carriers.—Gctlignani.
In the general business of the port of London during
the past week there has been considerable activity. Tee
number of ships reported inward was 260, showing an
increase of 50 over the previous week. These incledid
24 with cargo° i of sugar, 43 with grain, &a., and 2 from
Shanghai with tea and silk, comprising 16,361 packages
of the former and 2,028 bales of the latter. The number
of vessels cleared outward was 116, irecludiog 16 in bal-
last, showing a decrease of 29. The number of ships on

6 are for Adelaide, 4 Geelong, 2 Hobart Town, 3 Leun-
ceston, 4 New Zealand, 14 Port Phillip, 2 Portland
Bay, 12 Sydney, and 1 Swan River.
SINGAPORE.—The supposed intention of the Governor
General of India to levy dues at the pert of Singapore
caused the Directors of the East India Company to send
a despatch, dated the 25th of March, -1857, requesting
to be informed without, d. lay whether there -wan any
foundation for that report, intimating at the same time
that the Court would deprecate the imposition of any
burden on the commerce of the Straits eettlemant, ex-
cept under circumstances of urgent necessity. The
reply of the Governor-General says that such a mea-
sure was never contemplated as the imposition of
" Customs duties ;" at the same time he admits that the
Gavernor of the Straits, in February, 1856, recom-
mended the charge of a small port fee for services ren-
dered, and to pay' the expenses of such services in 'the
shape of lights, _beacons, ja.ties, toa., which " is of
course entirely a different question from that of Custom
duties," and such a charge is spoken of As reasonable,
but after the receipt of the Court's orders the proposal,
it is said, will be treated as finely disposed of. Copies
of the despatch and the reply were issued yesterday,
having been printed by order of the House of Com-
mon:.

GENERAL HAVELOCK. —lt may not be geeerally known
that this gallant officer, whose name has become one of
the most familiar to British ears among the most splen-
did instances of courage and devotion which are now
signalising our arms in the East, is a native of the banks
of the Wear,. arid a member of a Sunderland
His father, William Havel ick, Edn, was a well-known
shipowner and coa!fitter, residing At Ford Hall, the
present residence of W. Hay, E q., where the family,
since so distinguished as soldiers, were bora. Another
brother, Colhoel William Havelock, well known in
all the Peninsular and Oriental campaigns as ona of
the most clashing cavelry officers in the service, fell at
the head of the 14th LightDragoous in one of the bloody
engagements of the Sutlsj. The present representative
and subject of our notice, after passing through a long
and dietingniehed apprenticeship to arms in the great
conflicts of north-west rn India, especially in the
campaigns of Sir Charles Napier' holds at present
the post of adjutant-general of the Bengal presidency,
rank likely to bo changed, if Provide-ace reserve
him for the completion of the great work which
he bad so en, rgetically began, for the highest the
service can afford. There are not wanting anecdotes
among those who remember the residence and early life
of this hero of the courage and daring which fore-
shadowed the man in the boy, and we may earnestly
hope that it will yet be our pleasure to record in his
future career of retributive valour exploits and honours
which will alike reflect distiectioa on the soldier and do
honour to the town which claims his birth.—Sandcriand
Herald,
