me!ancholy evebt took place on Thursday evening, at
the residence of her son in-law, Mr. W. Harrison, the

M. SOYER AT CASTLE lIOWARD.—At the grand ball
given on the evening of her Majesty's departure from Castle
Howard one of the greatest attractions was afford by M.
Soyer's cooking various dishes on the supper-table with his
hniputian magic stove, surrounded by lords and ladies not a
little surprised to see for the first time part of their supper
cooked in a ball-room. The favourite dish amongst the
ladies present was les ceils au mirroir, half-a-dozen of which
seem to have been done every two minutes with the greatest
case-And. cleanliness. The following distingaished peraonages

EXCELLENT Cow.—ln one of those patches of the
county of Cromarty, so curiously distributed throughout
Ross shire, and called the Plaids, there is a remarkably pro-
lific cow, a cross between the common highland cow and a
shorthorn or Teeswater bull. In 1846, at the age of three
years, she had twins; in 1848, 1349, and 1850, also twins
each year, making in all eight calves in four years. The
twins of 1850 were females, and those of the three former
Years male and female. She was purposely kept from the
bull in 184,, and consequently had no calf, or calves rather.
The calves have all been distinguished for strength and sym-
metry, and as a different bull was employed each year, the

CITY OF LONDON REGISTRATION.—The forthcoming
revision of the list of voters of the city of London, there is
every reason to believe, will be much abbreviated this year,
the effect of the salutary power vested in the revising bar-
rister of awarding costs where frivolous objections have been
raised to votes on the register. So effectually has it w rked,
that instead of having, as formerly, nearly 41:0 objections
to the livery list alone, this year they will not number 110,
including double objections by both parties. The number of
claims for the livery list amounts to four only. The house-
holders' lists will also be much reduced from the former
number, no doubt from the same cause. Mr. Sidney Smith
will defend the Liberal voters and Mr. Brown the Conserva-
tive. The revision will commence on the 16th inst.

An invention has been patented, called the Auto-

can be transferred by a short process to a metallic plate, from

THE MARBLE Aacu.—For the last few days men
have been engaged in erecting scaffolding round the marble
arch in front of Buckingham Palace, for the purpose of its
removal. A part of the railing of the Green Park, nearly
opposite to the northern corner of the palace, has been taken
down, and a short distance on the other side of it boarding
has been erected for a space of sixty yards long by thirty
wide, within which the stones of the arch are to be depoiited
until they are otiiiirwise dispose,: of. The turf of the space
within the enclosure is being used in lining a new path
which has been made from the south-west entrance into the
park close to the Duke of Sutherland's mansion, and pro-
ceeding in a more direct line than tt e old path to Hyde
Park-corn. r. When the arch is taken down, which will be

of 42 tons—a tremendous specimen of Oriental ordnance.
