The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Feodore
left their apartments at the King's Palace, at Kensington, yes-
terday, and paid a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Clarence, at
their seat in Bushy Park. The Duchess and Princess partook of
a dejeune, and returned to Kensington in the afternoon.

FORMIDABLE CANDIDATE FOR THE EAST IN-
DIA DIRECTION.—We understand that Dr. Borthwick Gilchrist
has alarmed the Directors, by declaring his intention of annually
appearing as a candidate, and opposing the House List, or six
Directors who come in by rotation. The applications to him for
writerships and cadetships are said to be extremely numerous, and
that the future Director is vastly gracious even when he is occa-
sionally induced. to refuse an application.
The Courier was very happy yesterday, in his anti-
cipation of Mr. Hume's objections to the increased allowance for
the Duke and Duchess of Clarence. "He will not only insist, we ,
dare say, that the present allowance is more than they can possi-
bly:require for lodging, eating, and drinking, clothes, fuel and
sundry superfluities ; but will offer to do the business of Heir
Presumptive himself, for one third of what is now paid."
