THE COURT AT BRIGHTON.

BRIGHTON, FRIDAY EVENING.—Her Majesty and his
Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Colonel Buckley
(Equerry in Waiting to the Queen), took a carriage airing in
the morning, and afterwards walked in the Queen's- park.
The Queen and his Royal Highness also drove to the Chain-
pier, and promenaded there for a short time.
In the afternoon the Queen and Prince Albert drove out in
a pony chaise, attended by Colonel Buckley and Colonel
Wylde (Equerry in Waiting to Prince Albert).
'their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the Princess
Royal, the Princess Alice, and Prince Alfred, attended by the
Dowager Lady Lyttelton, took a carriage airing in the morn-
ing, and were driven on the Chain-pier.
In the afternoon their Royal Highnesses were again taken
out for a carriage airing, accompanied by Lady Lyttelton.
The Hon. Matilda Paget arrived at the Palace yesterday,
and succeeded the Hon. Miss Murray as Maid of Honour to
her Majesty. In our yesterday's paper the name was erro-
neously stated to be " Bagot.'
There is no addition to the royal dinner party this evening.
Among to-day's calls have been the Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Breadalbane, Lady Limond, Lady Polwarth, Earl

The Earl of Liverpool took his departure from the Palace
last night at eleven o'clock for Buxted. It is expected that
her Majesty will honour the Noble Earl with a visit at Buxted
to-morrow.

DEATYI OF COLONEL STRUTT.—This venerable
and respected gentleman, whose considerate bounty to
the poor in the neighbourhood of Terling we have so
often had occasion to record, died at Bath, on Tuesday
last. In early life, during the troublous period of the
French war, the deceased rendered essential services
to the Government, while commanding different regi-
ments of Essex Militia in various parts of the kingdom ;
and having married a daughter of the first Duke of
Leinster, his lady, in consideration of those services, was
created a Baroness, which title on her death, about eight
years ago, descended to her son, the present Lord Ray-
leigh. The loss of this veteran officer will be deeply
regretted by a large circle in his own sphere, and widely
felt by those who found the hardships of their lot amelio-
rated by his bounty.—Chelmsford Chronicle.
The Bishop of Ely continues in a very preca-
rious state of health. We have, however, the: authority of his
Lordship's medical attendant for saying that he is not in immediate
danger. On Wednesday and Thursday his Lordshipsat up:for about
an hour and a half each day; and on the latter day he was able to
dictate a letter. But, considering Dr. Allen's advanced age (75,
we believe), no very sanguine hope can be entertained of his re.
covery from so severe a paralytic attack as that with which it bath
pleased Divine Providence Jo visit hint—Cambridge Chronicle of
this day.

DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY.—In OUT report of
the meeting of the Shareholders in this undertaking, held yesterday,
(which appears in another part of The Sun) it has been brought to our
notice that we inaccurately stated that the Board of Trade had
reported unfavourably on this line. This of course was a pure inad-
vertence, it being well known that the Board of Trade have not
yet directed their attention to the York lines.
WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—The arri-
vals of Corn to this day's market are good, considering the state of
the river. Wheat is slow sale at nearly Is. below last Friday. Fine
Barley maintains its value, but middling sorts are almost impossible to
sell. Beans and Oats in limited demand, at last week's prices.
IPSWICH.—THE GISLEHAM MURDER.—Mr.Francis,
of Beccles, the attorney for William Howell, who was executed at
Ipswich on the 25th ult., has published a series of documents, to show
the worthlessness of the evidence of Harriet Botwright, the principal
witness (after the murdered man himself) against the prisoner.—
Nctfo/k. .News.

_ -
EXETER HALL.—The Sacred Harmonic Society
repeated Handel's Judas Jfaccabeus last night, under • precisely si-
milar circumstances as before : Madame Caradori Allan, Mr. Leffler,
and Mr. Manvers being the principal vocalists. Miss Poulter made
her second appearance, and was heard to much more advantage than
upon her NM', her nervous alarm having in a great measure passed
away. This young lady is likely to be a useful appendage to the
Sacred Harmonic orchestra ; for her vocal indications are promising.
Her voice is a soprano of apparently extensive compass.
MutacuLous ESCAPE.—On Monday evening, on
the half-past six o'clock train from Birmingham approaching Spetch-
ley station, a man named Smith, a resident of I'eopleton, near
Pershore, and who appeared to be somewhat under the influence of
liquor, jumped out of a second-class carriage before the train had
fairly stopped, and his foot catching the step he was thrown down,
part of his body being drawn under the train, his head being on the
outer side between the wheels of the carriage and the wall of the
station. While in this perilous position he was dragged a distance of
some yards, and all who witnessed the occurrence anticipated nothing
less than certain death as the reward of his foolhardiness ; however,
on the train stopping he was extricated, and it was found that he had
escaped with the loss of two or three fingers only from his right hand,
and after a short interval he was enabled to proceed to his home.—
Cheltenham Examiner.

BRUSSELS, FEB. 12.—Since the return of the Mi-
nister of Public Works from his visit to the tunnel of Cumpitch, the
Committee has met several times to consider of means to re-open
