Prince Ernest of Saxe Coburg, the brother of his
Royal Highness Prince Albert, otriveil at Woolwich yes-
terday, in a Government steam-packet, from Belgium,
an.i, on landing, immediately took his departure for the
metropolis, on a visit to her Majesty..

" WHIPPING THE HOUSE Cripps, alluding
on Wednesday to the fact of the Government not having
made a House on Monday, observed that "many Members
who sat on the Opposition benches, had been in the
lobby, and had actually refused to come in, and had
afterwards boasted that they had whipped the House
out is deeply to be lamented that this " whipping,"
instead of being a mere figure of speech—a. metaphorical
flagellation—had not been a literal and positive one.
Imagination cannot conceive a more gratifying
and patriotic spectiele, than that of the Oppo-
sition Members laying the lash on the Tory sup-
porters of the Income-tax, with all the emphasis and dex-
terity of one of Lord Cardigan's drummers. Such a
wholesome castigation of the faction would be a positive
boon to the public ; but could it have been inflicted just
half an hour previous to the division on that detestable
Tax, it is impossible to overrate the advantages that would
have resulted from it. Though no advocates for
flogging in the army or navy, yet there are times,
we think, when flogging in St. Stephen's - is
calculated to be of inestimable benefit, for it
is just that sort of striking and forcible argument
by which Tories are most likely to be convinced. How
else is Mr. Ferrand to be converted to a right way of
thinking ? By what other process is Sir James Graham
to be taught to regard the Corn-laws in a rational light?
Will anything short of a sound flogging induce Sir
Edward Knatchbull to give a vote on the right side ? In
justice to the superior dignity of the Premier, we think
that the experiment, if tried, should be first tried on
him, and that the most sinewy and muscular Liberal in
the llouse—stiv, Mr. O'Connell-Lshould be respectfully
supplicated to be the operator'

NEW INVENTED U3IDRELLA.—The more utilitarian
science becomes, in its adaptations to the ordinary pro-
ductions of our art and manufactures, in so much the
' greater degree will society, and the individual in general,
be benefited and improved. Mr. Taunton's newly-in-
vented umbrella excellently instances this, in the four-
fold combination of instruments and purposes which he
has introduced into this simple and common convenience,
recommending itself by its portability of carriage, and
exquisite uniqueness of appearance : it, of course, an-
swers the first qualification of its name, in acting as a
defence against the weather ; but, while serving as a
protection from the sun and rain, it can, if opportunity
or desire occur, administer to the pleasures or more ele-
vated pursuits of the scientific or self-amusing pedes-
trian, by reason of the telescope, microscope, and mari-
ner's compass, which are finished off, and admirably
form part of the umbrella itself. . Thus, the rambler may
with the one, viz., the microscope, examine on the spot,
the plant, fungus, insect, or atomic fragment of
gneiss, or any other geological substance which
he may chance to meet with upon coast or
,clift With . the compass, whether out of track
in wood, on moor, or mountain, he ensures to himself
safe and undeviating 'director of his course ; while the
telescope, which is the cleverest contrivance of the
whole, will convey to his eye, either on sea or land,'any
point or any object within a range of from ten to twelve
miles. This latter part of the invention forms the tube
or stick of the umbrella, which varies in diameter from
five-eighths to nearly three-quarters of an inch. Having
proved its capacity in this respect, we found it, on gra-
duating the lenses to sight, to afford a perfectly correct
and faithful image of the distantly reflected object.
The brass and ivory fittings of the whole, the nice
fixtures of the grooves, the accuracy and truth of the
glasses, joined with neatness, respectability, and mode-
rate price, render it one of the most covetable things of
the day ; one, if we mistake not, which will soon be the
inseparable accompaniment of every gentleman in his
walks and leisure.
