THE ADELAIDE HOTEL, LONDON-BRIDGE.- Mon-
day this excellent establishment was re-opened, after un-
dergoing most extensive improvements and decorations,
under the auspices and management of Mr. Softlaw and the
other prcprietors of the Bridge-house Hotel, Southwark. Ths
occasion was celebrated by a magruflcent dinner, at which
were assembled !,1 numerous company of gentlemen osten-
sibly connected with the commerce and corporation of the
City of London, under the presidency of Alderman Sir Chap-
man Marshall, whose bon hommie and admirable tact con•
duced in an eminent degree to the conviviality and enjoy
ment of the evening. All the toasts, with the exception of
that of the Queen, were honoured sitting, an arrangement
and example well worthy of general adoption. After the
usual routine of loyal toasts, the worthy Alderman, in a
speech replete with great good sense and kindly feeling, pro
posed the health of the host, Mr. Softlaw, and success to the
Adelaide Hotel, to which that gentleman responded in a re-
ciprocal spirit. The health of the Lord Mayor and several
other toasts were given and received with becoming enthu-
siasm. The professional vocalists present were Messrs.
Hobbs, Hawkins, Chapman, and Roe, with two youngsters
from the metropolitan cathedral, and it is not saying too
much to remark that the musical treat alone, independent of
the banquet, which included all the rarities of the season and
the choicest wines, was cheap in itself at the price of the
dinner ticket. Mr. Harker acted as toastmaster, and was
also in capital voice.
IRON TRADE.—An additional furnace has been
blown in at Blaenafon. The greatest number of men ever
employed are at present fully occupied, with every prospect
of a continuance.--•Carmarthen Journal. We are most
happy to learn that matters proceed very improvingly with
our manufacturing neighbours, and that by every calcula-
tion we may expect a successful career in the iron trade for
three or four years, if parties do not become too inflated with
sanguine hoPe; hird put "too many irons in the fire."—Mon-
mouthshire Merlin.

TILE SAXON MoNAßch.—The King of Saxony,
though only a third-rate Sovereign, will yet be received with
the greatest distinction. His Majesty is the Sovereign to
whom more especially the House of Saxe Coburg owes alle-
giance ; they are all Dukes of Saxony ; and the King will re-
cognise, in the infant Prince of Wales, one of his future
nobles. All the male branches of the English Royal Family
will now hold that rank in Saxony according to the laws
which regulate the succession of nobility on the Continent.
It was to this Sovereign that her Majesty paid the high com-
pliment of sending a special mission to invest him with the
order of the Garter ; and though the Emperor of Russia may
not come, still the British Court will be called upon to dis-
play all its magnificence and hospitality, as a sort of avant
courrier to the illustrious personages who were, and, perhaps,
are to visit us. We have the Crown Prince of Denmark,
who, though not coming on a visit to the Court, will, doubt=
less, be invited there. His Royal Highness purposes making
a tour through Scotland. The Danish Minister left town
some days ago to meet the Prince.—Cheltenham Looker-on.
THE GREAT BRITAIN.—The cradle for taking this
behemoth of the deep through the dock gates is fast approach-
ing to completion, and we arc happy to hear that the projec-
tors have not a shadow of doubt of accomplishing her extra-
prdittai7 pastriages—Bath Herald:
