We are happy to say that the youthful Princes and
Princess have enjoyed the most perfect health since their
arrival here. Each day they have been taken out in the
morning and afternoon for the benefit of the sea air.
On Thursday morning the Royal cortege, consisting of a
carriage and four and a carriage and pair, preceded by
an out-rider, proceeded along the East Cliff towards
Rottingdean, and in the afternoon crossed the Race-hill
from the Lewes-road to the East Cliff. Yesterday morn-
ing the royal children were driven to the entrance of the
Chain Pier, where the Prince of Wales and the Princess
Alice alighted with Lady Lyttel ton and walked for sotne
time, and the infant Prince Alfred was carried by his
nurse. And in the afternoon the drive over the Downs
was repeated. A messenger from the Admiralty arrived
yesterday afternoon, soon after five o'clock, with a letter
from the Queen to Lady Lyttleton, and left shortly
afterwards with an answer from her Ladyship.—Brighton
[-Jerald.
THE LATE HON. LADY BROOKE PECsiELL.—The
funeral took place yesterday, the body of the deceased
being removed from the family residence in Hill-street,
for interment at Hampton. The funeral cortege con-
sisted of a hearse and three mourning coaches, followed
by the private carriage of the Dul,e of Norfolk and other
relatives and friends of the deceased lady. Am mg the
mourners were the Duke of Norfolk, the Earl of Arun-
del and Surrey, Hon. Captain Pechell, &c.
ENGLAND AND EGYPT.—We are assured that a
treaty,. the origin of which may be referred to 1840, is
on the eve of being concluded, by which England will
obtain possession of the port of Suez, free passage from
Alexandria to that port, and other advantages of im-
portance in Egypt and Syria. This treaty, to which
France is said to be no party, is guaranteed by Russia,
Austria, and Prussia. We know not by what intrigue
the King of the French has been prevented from par-
ticipating in it, but have reason to believe that Eng-
land has had nothing to do with her exclusion.—Herald.
LIEUTENANT VIBART'S NEW MACHINE POWER.—
Our agricultural friends will remember that we noticed
this new and truly wonderful power, invented by Lieu-
tenant Vibart, of Chilliswood House, near this town, in
our paper of the week before last. We had yesterday,
through the kindness of Mr. Richards, iron-founder,
an opportunity of again inspecting the invention, which
has been further improved, and which may now be
considered to have reached the acme of perfection. It
was applied to a thrashing machine, also of Lieutenant
Vibart's construction, and which affords another proof
of the splendour of his inventive genius, and the ease
and rapidity with which the latter machine .was worked
was wonderful. We are informed that it is capable of
thrashing sixty stitches of wheat per hour, and this it
accomplishes in the most perfect manner, not a single
grain being left in the ear, while the straw is thrown
aside wholly uninjured. It may be worked with ease by
one man and a boy, and is unquestionably one of the
most surprising, as well as valuable, novelties in me-
chanical skill that has ever been submitted to public
notice.—Somerset County Gazette.
INTERESTING DISCOVERY.--A short time since a
boat went down from Newquay to the Cow-and-Calf
Rock, which is more generally known by the name of
Carter's Rock, in search of native guano. In prosecut-
ing their search, they accidentally came upon a large
flat stone, and, on uncovering and lifting it, they found
deposited in a grave encircled, by slate stones, the skull
and bones of a human being, which, on examination,
proved to be those of a male. The grave strongly re-
sembles those discovered in the neighbourhood of the old
church, in the sands, Saint Piran. Some doubt has
arisen where the body of Saint Piran was deposited ;
there is a chance, therefore, that this is the identical
body, since there is scarcely a doubt that this rock at one
time WaS joined to the main land. The grave may be
found about a foot under the surface, and on the south
side of the rock. Had the bones been found on the sur-
face, we might safely infer that it was the body of some
poor unfortunate mariner ; but the grave is rudely per-
fect.— West Briton.

As the Aberystwith mail was on Thursday returning
to Shrewsbury, it was discovered that one of the wheels
was in such a state, owing to the " bush " breaking, that
the coach could not proceed. This recurred at the Half-
way-house between Welsh Pool and Shrewsbury ; the
guard proceeded to town with the mails, in a gig, and a
„.„ disp,ttched to the 11,!f-way-house to bring in
bassenger*.. n F t.rived here slier*: :4ter nine
o'clock. It was 0:o fortunate the ~ate of the
wheel was noticed in time, otherwise the coach must in-
evitably have been upset.—Shrewsbury Chronicle.
