REruOs HAnnouns.•,---On Monday evening last the
second Admiralty CommiSsion, appointed to inquire into
• the subject of Harbours of Refuge on the South-Eastern
• coast, arrived at Worthington's Ship Hotel, Dover, by
the London and Dover Railway, and commenced opera-
• tions: Our readers arc aware that her Majesty's steamer
- Blazer, Captain Washington,' has for some weeks back
been engaged on the same service on this coast, taking
soundings, ,Sce., preliminary to the personal survey
of 'the .Commissioners. On Tuesday Morning the Corn-
• m4o°ll (which cnniists of the following members :
AdMiral Sir llYam Martin, Lieut.. General Sir Irovvard
DOugh)s, Reer-Adiniral Deans Dundas,. Captain Sy-
• month, Cepthin John Washington' Lieut.-Colonel Col-
quhoun, Lieut.-Colonel Alderson, Sir John Polly, Cap-
tatn Fisher, and James Walker,4lsq., President 'of the
Society •of Civil. Engineers) embarked on • board the
Blitzer,•and prooseded. Ramsgate . and -Foreness, to
, procure ocular pAtof of- the nature of the coast. On
Wednesday they visited Dungeness, and surveyed the
coast there.. On Thursday a,numher. of ;witnesses were
examined at Dover, touching the capabilities of the dif•
ferent points of the coast for Range:Harbours; and yes-
terday morning they proceeded' in, the Blazer towards
Brighton, on a similar mission.. Since the report of the
first Commission on this subject in 1840, ive hive been
more than sanguine that Dover would be 'the first port
selected as a site for a • Harbour of Refuge and, from
all that we can learn, its chance of being SO has increased
.by subsepient inquiry.—Dover Chronicle.-of Saturday.
• It has been announced in the daily papers that the'
appointment of Ma-ter of the Royal buckhOunds, filled
by the' Earl Of Rosslyn, had been abolished "by her Ma-
, zesty, and,,that the whole establishment over which his
. Lordship presided was to be immediately discontinued.
We have, made inquiries on this subject in quarters likely
to he well informed on such matters, and we feel no hesita-
tion in declaring, not merely that the office of Master of
tkl.ltdyal'lluelchounds has not been abolished, but that no
intimation to that 'effect has been given. We may say_.the
- nitre of the hunting establishment. Indeed, we believe
• thatino such measure is at present in contemplation. It is,

" It is a painful reflection that Mons. De Custine's remarkable vo-
lumes contain a snore accurate account of the state and condition of
Russia than any other work of recent,ilate, without exception. His
kook Is one which those who are desirous to know Russia as it really
is, and not as it would fain impose it44f on the world to be, would do
well to consult."—Gentleman's Magazine, April.
