COURT-FASHIONABLE.

Viscount and Viscountess Jocelyn have gone on a
visit to Earl and Countess Cowper, at Pansanger, near
Hertford, for the holidays.
Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston left town on
Thursday, for Brockett Hall, Herts, on a visit to Vis-
count Melbourne. Lord and Lady Beauvale have also
gone to Brockett for the Easter recess.
The Countess De Grey has left St. Janie's-square, for
Pansanger, on a visit to Earl and Countess Cowper, who
are entertaining a large circle at that beautiful seat dur-
ing the recess.
The Earl of Minto and Lady Elizabeth Elliot left
Lady Hislop's on Thursday last, on their return to join
the Countess and family at Minto House, N.B. Lord
and Lady Melgund are staying at the family seat for the
present, but it is expected that the Noble Lord and Lady
will to come to town towards the close of next month for
her Ladyship's accouchement.
The Earl and Countess of Powis and the Ladies Her-
bert are expected to leave Powis Castle, Welshpool, about
the Bth of next month, for town, for the season. Viscount
Clive, M.P., has gone to Wales for the Parliamentary
recess.
The Earl of Yarborough has arrived at Appulder-
combo, Isle of Wight, from town. Lord and Lady
Worsley have arranged to remain in town during the
holidays.
The Duke of Devonshire has returned to Devonshire
shire House, from visiting the Earl and Countess of
Granville at Brighton. The Noble Earl is much better,
MISCELLANEOUS. _ _

It will be interesting to the antiquary and the lover of
art to know that the exertions of Mr. Doubleday, in the
restoration of the Portland vase, have been so successful,
that it will in the course of a short time again be sub-
mitted to public inspection very little blemished by the
effects of an injury which at first seemed t9bviimparyttlet
their approbation of the neatness with which the work
has been completed, and of the ingenuity of the waists
employed. Edward Lloyd, the author of the mischief,
left London immediately on his discharge, and returned
to Dublin, and it is understood to be intention of the
Duke of Portland to institute proceedings against him
for the damage done to his property.
On Good Friday morning, the Brighton and South-
Eastern Railway terminus at London-bridge was literally
besieged by the holiday folks, the Directors having an-
nounced their intention of running at half fares. The
first trains took to Brighton nearly two thousand per-
sons, and to Dover about nine hundred. The Greenwich
Railway also took great numbers the first thing in the
morning, and at twelve o'clock nearly one thousand
people were waiting for the starting of the trains at one
o'clock. The Greenwich steamers were exceedingly
crowded owing to the fineness of the weather.
The case of the Rev. Mr. Oakeley is, we hear, to be
brought before the Arches Court, by letters of request,
some time in the course of the next term. The Rev.
Gentleman has been during the week paying a visit to
the Rev. Mr. Newman, at Littlemure.
Viscount De Vesci has been appointed Custos Itotu-
lorum of the Queen's County, in the room of the Earl of
Mornington, deceased.
It is expected that the new Customs Bill, which comes
into actual operation to-day, will make a great difference
in the mode of doing business at the docks, the greater
portion of the articles relieved from payment of duty
being cleared direct by free entry from the side of the
importing vessel, instead of being housed in the bonded
warehouses, by which means the duties of the landing
department will be considerably increased, and those of
the in-door or warehousing department proportionably
lessened.

The Right Hon. George R. Dawson, Commissioner cf
Customs, paid a visit to the St. Katherine Docks on
Thursday afternoon, visiting the several departments of
the establishment, and inspecting the official bcoks,
&c. He also inspected the sample of sugar furnished as
the standard by which the sugars in bond were to be
tested, and future importations of the article regulated,
under the provisions of the New Sugar Bill, making in-
quiries as to the mode of the same being carried into
operation. It is expected that the New Customs Bill,
which comes into actual operation to-day, will make a
great difference in the mode of doing business at the
docks, the greater portion of the articles relieved from
payment of duty being cleared direct, by free entry,
from the side of the importing vessel, instead of being
housed into bonded warehouses, by which means the
duties of the landing department will be considerably
increased, and those of the in-door or warehousing de-
partment proportionably lessened.
On Good Friday the Licensed Victuallers round
Smithfield were allowed to keep open their houses
throughout the whole of the morning, for the accommo-
dation of the dealers. Last year the question was raised
as to their right, and although none could be distinctly
shown, the necessity was evident, as so many persons ar-
rived from the country, and some summonses heard be-
fore Sir Peter Laurie were dismissed.
The departure of Mdlle. Rachel'for Italy is, according
to the latest French papers, decided upon definitively,
in consequence of the serious illness under which that
great tragedian is at present suffering. The perfect
quiet and rest that have been so long recommended and
enforced by her medical attendants, have only proved,
as it would appear, palliatives, and not remedies for the
ailments ; consequently, she has been ordered to go at
once into the south.

Dr. Woodhouse, Senior Fellow of Gonville and Caius,
Cambridge, died on Thursday, the 20th, at his rooms in
that college. The deceased gentleman took the degree
of Doctor of Medicine many years ago, but never prac-
tised as a physician. He chiefly occupied himself in
painting, and in the portrait line was such an excellent
artist that the likenesses which he has painted from time
to time of many of his distinguished contemporaries
would form of themselves an interesting gallery.

THE ARMY.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

The 15th Foot is to embark for Ceylon this spring,
to relieve the 90th Regiment, ordered home.

The 16th Foot is to embark in the autumn for Gib-
raltar, from whence the first battalion of the Royals
goes to the West Indies, to relieve the second battalion
of the Royals, which is to come home.

The 34th Regiment is to embark in the autumn fur
Corfu, to replace the 19th Regiment, which goes to the
West Indies, to relieve the 85th, ordered home.
The 54th Regiment is to embark in the autumn for
Gibraltar, to replace the 38th Regiment, which proceeds
to Jamaica, to replace the 77th Regiment, which em-
barks for America, to relieve the 43d Regiment, ordered
home.

The 66th Regiment is to embark in the spring for

[ The detachment of the 53d Regiment, on board the
Hastings, arrived in Calcutta on the 28th January,
and remained at Chinsurah on the 6th February,
waiting the arrival of the ship pith with the
remainder of the corps. The head quarters of
the regiment were marching for Agra, from whence it
is probable they will go to Allababad or Meerut.
