THE KING OF HOLLAND.

We have great pleasure in announcing that the Queen,
through the Duke of Wellington, as Commander-in-Chief,
has appointed the King of Holland a Field Marshal in the
British army, an honour conferred on a brave and liberal
monarch, who had in his younger days fought and bled
under our national flag against a powerful and common
enemy. It is an act in every respect becoming to the nation,
and one which will give the greatest satisfaction to the
army. ThelKing, as is no doubt known to the majority of
our readers, is a general in the army, being next in
senority to General Sir George Nugent, Bart., G.C.8., and
by five years senior to General Thomas Grosvenor and Gene-
ral the Marquis of Anglesey. His commission in the British
service is dated as follows :—Lieutenant-Colonel, the 11th
of June, 1811 ; Colonel, the lith of October, 1811 • Major-
General, the 13th of December, 1813 ; Lieutenant General,
the Bth of July, 1814; and General, the 25th of July, 1814.
Yesterday forenoon, previously to his Majesty holding his
diplomatic levee, the Duke of Beaufort and Mr. Culling
Smith had the honour of an audience with the King, at his
apartments at Mivart's.

THE LATE DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT BLACKWALL.-
Yesterday an inquest, pursuant to adjournment, was held before
Mr. J. C. Carttar, at the Unicorn Tavern, Horseferry, Greenwich,
upon the body of Thomas Kennedy, aged 20 years, who died on
board the Dreadnought Hospital ship on Saturday last. It ap-
peared from the evidence that the deceased was at work in a field
on the Isle of Dogs at the time of the fire, and observed fire
Issuing from one of the houses destroyed. He ran with others to
the spot, and being most anxious to save his landlord's as well as
his own property, he rushed up stairs, and was in the act of re-
moving some articles, when the roof gave way, and he was nearly
buried in the burning ruins. With much presence of mind and
great exertions he managed to escape across a ditch into a field
adjoining, enveloped in flames, and rolled about in the grass until
the fire was extinguished. Assistance was then rendered, and he
was conveyed without delay on board the Dreadnought, where he
lingered until Saturday last, when he died of ulcerated intestines,
induced by the dreadful injuries he had received. Verdict, "Ac-
cidental death."

GOODWOOD RACES.
RACE COURSE, EWE O'CLOCK, TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
The beauty of the scenery, the aristocratic grade of the
company, the magnitude and importaoce of the prizes, acid
the determination evinced in every branch of the manage-
ment to give character and eclat to the meeting, combine t
render it altogether unapproachable. Upon its varied at-
tractions, it has been our duty to enlarge, year after year, 0
each occasion having some new improvement on the course!,
some addition to the sport, or some judicious enlargement
the rules to present to notice; and such was our task a sboe.
,
lime back, when we submitted an outline of the Mall' rich
Stakes and Cups open to competition, and of the fresh regalts;
tions for the more effectual exclusion of the " black sheep
the Turf." At that time, however, although aware th
workmen had been actively employed for several months,.
we were ignorant of the extent to which the march of",
provement had extended. We were agreeably surprisee
therefore, to find that the course had been widened about si_fl
or seven yards. The turf on the straight running had
taken up and re-laid, making it, in the opinion of all prbeeti.
itex
cal men, perfect. The inclosure at the stand has been et. .
_
tended to the judge's chair, at the lower end, and round D°
beeeh trees, and back to the road at the other; seats hap
been placed round some of the trees for the accommodation
of the ladies, ,and if the gentlemen can be Pot
veiled upon to bear in mind for whom and with
Ktbe
intention they were provided, this part of
inclosure will be found an agreeable shelter in hot wear,i
Some less striking improvements might be mentioned; I",i
this, however, we are prevented by the early commencemo,'„
of the racing, and the necessity of dispatching our report 4
time for publication. At present, therefore, we must cOO%
ourselves to a brief notice of the opening of the meeting 04,
afternoon. In every respect it has come up to our expeee'y
tions. The weather, although showery, and at times 010
sonably cool, is favourable, and the company assells
