In addition to the Duchess of Kent and Princess Vic,
toils, who will honour the Worcester Music Meeting with their pre-
sence, it is confidently reported that Prince Leopold win also attend,
his Royal Highness being shortly expected at klalvern. Extensive
preparations are now making for the reception of visitors. The Duchess
of Kent and the Princess Victoria visited Hereford on Tuesday ; they
were received at the Episcopal Palace by the venerable Bishop. An
address was presented to their Royal Highnesses by the Mayor and
Corporation, to which the Duchess made a suitable reply. In the after.
noon they returned to Malvern.—Chellenham Journal.

If the Tax-office, instead of merely heading an advertise-
ment inserted in all the papers, both in town and country, with the
tempting words " Assumed Taxes Reduced and Repealed," would par-
ticularise what the reductions and repeals are, they would confer a great
favour upon those nineteen twentieths of the community who have no
Imans of referring to the Statutes at Large.

Should Mr. O'Connell succeed in his efforts to induce the
House of Commons to adjourn at nine o'clock in the evening in future,
it would be necessary that the House should meet at ten o'clock in the
morning, as it did in olden time. Long and vapid speeches in Parlia-
ment are become an intolerable bore; they obstruct thi progress of
public business, while the interest of the country are sacrificed to the
idle vanity of those loquacious speakers, whose 'speeches might be said
not to have either beginning or end.

Our illustrious countryman, Thomas Moore, is, we under-
stand, expected in a few days, on a visit to his friend, Captain Bryan, of
Jenkinstown, in this county. The gallant Captain, our infortrant states,
has issued cards of invitation to several of the nobility and gentry of the
county of Kilkenny, to meet the poet, who is " the delight of all ci.elo,
and the idol of his own."—iilkenny Journal.

PROPIIECY.—Francis Moore, physician, in his agrologi-
ad predictions for the summer quarter of the present year, made a happy
hit. "We may expect to hear of some eminent mutation., State
meetings, convention.. and changes in the municipal laws of some
neighbouring nations, which will be effected with much heat and
vigour ; and some crowned heath: will be greatly distressed.".—llaw-
burg Reporter.

DRURY-LANE TIIEATRE.—The new decorations of this
Theatre are on the most liberal scale; the front of the boxes is taste-
fully coloured buff and blue ; the ornaments and scroll work are of
very;pale gold, which has the appearance of silver, and will not be open
to the same objection (silver assuming by candle-light a dark stecl.like
appearance.) The medallions are of crimson, which forms a very
pleasing contrast to the lighter colours, and gives a very tasteful effect
to the whole. The ceiling is painted to resemble drapery. Judging
from the imperfect view we had of it yesterday, we think it will be
equally novel and effective. The dramatic and musical arrangements
are upon an equally liberal scale. In addition to those we have an-
nounced, Bishop is engaged for the whole season. Bishop (besides
being engaged as composer) will have the direction of the orchestra,
where he will preside, as it Is intended that every evening two classical
overtures shall be performed. In a short time we shall give our readers
a more detailed account of the Improvements and arrangements of this
Theatre.

THE BRITISH Navy.—ln Portsmouth Dock-yard places are erect-
ing for the purpose of building and completing, in every department,
steam-vessels for his Majesty's service. There are also sent tal tine
ships on the stocks, particularly the Neptune, which will be the !argot
vessel that was ever built. Mr. Blake, the assistant muter builder. to
whom the country is indebted for many important improvements in ship-
building, is now completing the Vindictive with a square bow, which
will render her capable of carrying twelve instead of four guns on her
bow, consequently more formidable when chasing an enemy. When an
old gallant Admiral saw it he exclaimed, "Aye, this is as it should be
I don't are whether my ship has a round or a square stern, or whether
she has ten or twenty guns on it ; give me guns at the bow, that I may
pepper the foe as he flies from me." Mr. Blake has also invented a
mode of dropping the heaviest anchor instantaneously, which must be
most desirable when ships come suddenly into close action.

a EWC•STLE-01q4rTNI, SIPT. 4.—The supply of wheat
I from the farmer this meaning was again short: fine sample% nearly
maintained the currency of last week, but the inferior sorts were lit. to
2s. per quarter cheaper. A parcel of new red wheat from Norfolk
was sold to-day at his. per quarter, weighing elbe. per bushel, the
quality, however, did not appear to us to be of the first order.
The arrivals of rye during the week have been extensive, the
=part of which is going to granary, the importers not feeling
to pay the present high duty. For fine malt we have some
enquiry, but anything beneath this descdpelon remains quite neglected.
Beans and peas are about Is. per quarter Iwo; and the demand for
each is slackening.—Country oats support their peke, but foreign are
difficult to quit even ut s deelhse ed' 2s. per 'meta. The duty oa
barley. pess, and beans, is severally IS. N. pa quarter lower.
The weather during the week has been very unfavourable, and conse-
quently little minis has been made be harvest sparadses.
