The Duke and Duchess of Richmond are expected

Hillingdon.
The Duke Torlonia has arrived at Mivart's
Hotel from a visit to Chatsworth, and a tour in the midland
counties.
The Marquis of Waterford, who has been at New-
market during the last week, arrived at Mivart's on Satur-
day.
The Countess of Carlisle and Viscount Morpeth
arrived in town on Friday last, from Castle Howard, the
Earl of Carlisle's seat in Yorkshire. The Countess has been
brought to town by the alarming illness of her brother, the
Earl of Granville.
SERIOUS ILLNESS OF THE EARL OF GRANVILLE.—
We regret to state the Earl of Granville continues in a very
precarious condition. On Friday evening the Noble Earl
was taken suddenly worse, and in addition to his Lordship's
medical attendant, constantly with the Earl at Roehampton,
three physicians were summoned from the metropolis, for
consultation. The Duke of Devonshire, Viscount Leveson,
and the other members of the family assembled at Roehamp-
ton on Saturday morning, but we are gratified to learn that
his Lordship had experienced a favourable night, and was
considered better. On Sunday the accounts were more fa-
vourable.
Count D'Orsay left Kensington Gore on Wednes-
day last, for Paris. The Noble Count does not intend to be
absent beyond a month.
lIANDSO➢LE DONATION.—The building committee
of the new Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the
Chest, now in progress at Bromplon, have just received
among other donations, the sum of 100 guineas', under the
signature of " A Pharisee," on behalf of the building of the
new hospital.
FATAL. RAILWAY. ACCIDENTS.—About five o'clock
on Friday morning, a melancholy accident occurred at the
Kilwinning station of the Ayrshire Railway, whereby, we
regret to add, a porter, named henry Murray, lost his life.
The deceased, who had been assisting in pushing forward two
trucks, to attach them to the luggage train tram Ayr, in-
cautiously attempted to do so when they were still in motion,
whereby he was so severely bruised that be died about one
o'clock P.M. He was a sober, industrious man, and has left a
widow and small family.—About two o'clock on the same
day, a boy named Morrison, belonging to Irvine, had, with-
out the knowledge of the servants of the company, and con-
trary to their rules, got upon a lugage truck, from whence
be was removed by oue of the porters; but having again
climbed up unperceived by. the servants, who were pushing
forward the truck with their heads down at the time, fell
between the trucks, and was killed on the spot.—Ap
