TIIE QUEEN AND PRINCE ALBERT AT HAW-
TFIORNDEN.—The Royal pair had expected that their
visit to this romantic spot was to have been entirely
private. But the mere possibility that the Queen and
Prince Albert might drive to this lovely place had
brought together a great concourse of people of all
classes in the neighbourhood. On the arrival of
her Majesty and his Royal Highness, they
seemed astonished at the number of persons who
were assembled;
and when the Queen looked down
from the elevated ground near the old family man-
sion-house, on the mass of people below, she became
evidently very anxious ; and the cause of this
anxiety was explained when, after her convening
with the Prince and the Duchess of BUccleuch, Col.
Bouverie intimated that the Queen could not visit
the caves, in consequence of probable risk of injury
to herself and others, if the people followed down the
descent. The Rev. M. C. Mackenzie, the clergyman
of the parish in which Hawthornden is situated, whose
advice was asked by Prince Albert, and to whom the
Queen addressed a few words, said that the people
would form themselves on each side of' the path,
which leads through the garden to the caves, and
remain firm as a wall. On this assurance, the Royal
party, consisting of the Queen, Prince Albert, the
Duchess of Buccleuch, and Colonel Bouverie, pro-
ceeded to the caves between the two lines of
people, who, without a single exception, stood steady
in their places. The Royal party when they left were
greeted with a cheer that made the woods re-echo
the feeling of joyfulness that animated every one who
had the good fortune to be a witness of the agreeable
visit of the Queen and Prince Albert to classic Haw-
thornden.

The Victoria steamer is performing her last trip
between Bordeaux and Southampton. She has been
running all the summer at an enormous loss. Her
crew consists of 40 hands, and she has been perform-
ing a voyage to and fro once a fortnight. To make
her trips pay, she ought to carry each voyage 100
tons of cargo and between 40 and 50 passengers ; and
she has never had on board during one voyage more
than 40 tons of cargo, nor more than 20 passengers.
The question is now decided that Bordeaux and
Southampton is not a profitable station for steam na-
vigation. Bordeaux is a port anciently connected
with Southampton, and a few years ago two sailing
vessels *regularly traded between the two ports. Both
those vessels were wrecked, and the intercourse ceased
for several years. •
FATAL CASUALTY.—We regret to learn that an ag-
gravated and fatal case of assault, if not a case of
murder, took place in Calton on Wednesday last. It
appears that on the day in question, two men, named
Robert Campbell and William Smith, in the employ-
ment of Peter Neil, nailer, in Main-street, Calton,
had had some difference or quarrel, when Campbell
seized the red-hot rod of iron with which he was
working, and, by thrusting it against the abdomen of
Smith, inflicted several severe wounds or burns. In
consequence of this assault, the unfortunate man died
on Thursday afternoon. Campbell has been appre-
hended.—Glaszow Argus%

FROME—Notwithstanding accounts from all quar-
ters represent the game this year to be unusually
abundant, we have heard of nothing in this neigh-
bourhood to beat the performance of Mr. Fortescue
Horner and Mr. Tudway, who on the 9th of this
month, on the manor of Coleford, killed 25 brace,
besides hares:and landrails ; and this in despite of a
heavy rain which fell during great part of the day, an
y.was much larger, but
over ground on which but a few days before 24,i brace
had been brought to bag. We understand that " the
hag" at Melts, on the first day,
there were then four guns contributing to the slaughter.

MR. DORWARD.—We are truly happy to learn that
the health of our worthy and philanthropic citizen,
Mr. Dorward, is so much improved, that for some
time past he has been in the habit of taking an airing
in his garden for a short time in the afternoon when
the weather permitted. On Wednesday last, being
one of the finest days we have had this season, Mr.
Dorward entered the carriage of William 'White, Esq.,
and, accompanied by Captain White, inspected the
operations at the
New 'Wet Dock, the improvements
at the Museum, sc., and then drove to the House of
Refuge, the inmates of which, from the octogenarian
to the child of five years, have been on the qui vice
f3r several days
past, in the expectation of a visit from
their worthy benefactor. Mr. Dorward was received
at the vestibule by Mr. Moodie and Mrs. Black the
matron, and conducted to the hall ; an affectionate
welcome was there given himby the children singing
an hymn. The Rev. Mr. Lyall,
chaplain to the in-
stitution, offered up a fervent and impressive prayer
for the Divine blessing on the beneficent founder.
The kind-hearted gentleman and a few of his friends
then sat down to an excellent entertainment, provided
at his own expense, at which he expressed himself as
being highly delighted with. his visit, and his gratifi-
cation at the clean and healthy appearance of the in-
mates, and the orderly and becoming manner in which
they appeared before him. Mr. Dorward then placed
in the hands of Mr. Moodie a handsome sum, to pro-
vide snuff and tobacco for the old people, and sweet-
Meats for the young at tile approaching market. On
leaving the institution the
inmates, young and old,
~aluted him with three hearty cheers.---112ontros(
