About an hour after Mdlle. Dolores returned, and, on the
card being presented to her she cried, " Ah' my God, I
' am lost ! He has come to murder me !" After leaving
the Rue St. Nicolas, the young man took an apartment
in the Rue Vivienne. On Thursday week, Novarro
announced at the hotel in the Rue Vivienne that he was
to leave the same evening for Spain, and he paid his hill
and sent off his trunks. He, however, said he should
require the apartment for a few hours more, as some per-
sons-. were about to visit him. At five o'clock he returned,
and shortly after three females called on him. One was
Dolorez, the other two her friends, both Spanish. The
conversation turned on Novarro's departure, and he ear-
nestly begged of Dolores to return to Madrid with him.
She positively refused, and told him that the relations
which had existed between them could not be renewed.
He asked the three females to dine with him, but they
declined, and the two friends of Dolores went away, leav-
ing her with him. Shortly after Novarro, deadly pale,
hastened down stairs. Meanwhile the persons stopping
in the hotel heard moans from the young man's apart.

floor, stabbed in five places, and run through with a
sword-cane. On Tuesday night week the murderer was
arrested in the Chausee d'Antin, just as he was about to
enter the house of a woman with whom he hoped to find
a refuge for the night. He attempted to make resistance,
but was overpowered and taken to the prefecture. The
autopsy of the unfortunate Dolores was effected on Sun.
day at the Morgue, by Dr. Tardieu. The heart was found
to have been pierced by the blade of the sword-cane which
Novarro had left in the room where he had committed
the murder. The other wounds, thirteen in number,
made by a knife, showed that the woman made some
resistance to the murderer.
ROMANCE.—AN ENGLISH GROOM REGENT CF PARMA.
—The correspondent of the Daily News writes as fol-
lows :—" The elevation of Ward to the regency of Parma
is not only a singular instance of the mutability of human
affairs, but of the tendency of the Anglo-Saxon race,
when transplanted to foreign countries, to emerge to emi-
nence, and surpass others by the homely but rare qualities
of common sense and unfaltering energy. Ward was a
Yorkshire groom. The Duke of Lucca, who obtained by
his fall from horseback in Rotten-row, the familiar sou-
briquet of ' Filthy Lucre,' spying the lad's merit, took
him into his service, and promoted him through the
several degrees of command in his stables, to be head
groom of the ducal stud. Upon Ward's arrival in Italy
with his master, it was soon found that the intelligence
which he displayed in the management of the stables was
applicable to a variety of other departments. In fact, the
duke had such a high opinion of Ward's wisdom that he
very rarely omitted to consult him upon any question that
he was perplexed to decide; and the success which never
failed to crown Ward's advice, gave him in the eyes of the
feeble descendant of the Spanish Bourbons the prestige of
infallibility. The expenses of the stables having been
reduced to less than half under his administration, while
the duke's horses were the envy of all Italy, it struck the
prince naturally enough that it would be a good thing if
the same economy could be introduced into other depart-
ments. So Ward tried his hand on the one thing and the
other, continually enlarging his sphere of influence, until
from household matters he passed to those connected with
the state; which, indeed, is such a miniature affair, that
it does not greatly pass the limits of some private domestic
establishments. Ward, new become the factotum of the
prince, won in the disturbances which preceded the revo-
lutionary year of 1813 a diplomatic dignity, and was
despatched to Florence upon a confidential mission of the
highest importance. In 1349, when the Duke of Lucca
resigned his other states to his son, Ward became the
head counsellor of this hopeful prince, who has thus been
able to follow out a sporting bent under the best auspices,
while lie had a minister whose shrewd sense was more than
a match for the first diplomatists in Italy. Ward was on
one occasion despatched to Vienna in a diplomatic capacity.
Schwarzenberg was astonished at his capacity ; in fact, the
ei.devant Yorkshire stable boy was the only one of the
diplomatic body that could make head against the impe-
tuous connsels, or rather dictates, of Schwarzenberg and
this was found highly useful by other members of the
diplomatic body. Ward visited England. The broad
dialect and homely phrase betraying his origin through
the profusion of orders of all countries sparkling oh, his
breast he rarely ventured to appear at evening soirees.
Lord Palmerston declared he was one of the most remark.
able men he had ever met with. Ward, through all his
vicissitude, has preserved an honest pride in his native
country. He does not conceal his humble origin. The
portraits of his parents, in their homespun clothes, appear
ill the splendid saloon of the prime minister of karma."

" The rains in the south have ceased, and we are again

growing region. As yet we have only heard of two bales
of new cotton being received at the ports, the first of
which was at New Orleans, on the 2d instant ; the other
at some place on the sth instant. At New Orleans, on
the 6th instant, the sales amounted to 300 bales ; mid-

BREADSTUFFS.—The Flour market has been drooping
throughout the week, and the quotations establish a de-
cline since the 3rd instant of 121 c. per barrel. The de-
mand continues languid, but further immediate decline is
prevented by a temperary falling off in the supplies.
Wheat continues to decline, and we again reduce our
quotations 2c. to 3c. per bushel. Corn has been in good
supply, and the demand moderate for export, anti, though
an active supply sprung up at the close for home use,
with some speculative demand, prices are lower, the
stock accumulating. The sales are 91,000 bushels, closing
at 59c. to 62c. for unsound, and 621 c. to 63c. for mixed

much wanted.

COURT

AND FASHION

RETURN OF HER MAJESTY TO OSBORNE.—On Tues-
day morning, at eleven o'clock, the royal steam squadron
became visible, by the aid of a good telescope, about thirty
miles off Portsmouth, coming up under all steam towards
Spithead from the eastern channel. At 12 30, the royal
yachts arrived off Osborne, when her Majesty stepped into
the yacht's barge, and landed at 12 37. At five o'clock a
heavy thunder storm came on, with rain in a perfect
cataract ; it was more like one sheet of water than insolated
drops. Meanwhile the lightning was very vivid. and the
thunder continuous. It commenced at the westward, and
passed over to the eastward.

THE ROYAL VISIT TO SCOTLAND.—We understand
thEt orders have been received at Balmoral, which render
it certain that her Majesty will reach her Highland home
on Wednesday, the Ist September. In ali probability the
Court will arrive in Edinburgh oh the evening; of Tues-
day, the 31st instant, and leave on the following morning
for Balmoral. We have not heard which route her
Majesty intends taking on her way to the north, but it is
most likely that the east coast line will be preferred.—
Edinburgh Advertiser.

EXPECTED VISIT OF THE QUEEN TO BIRMINGHAM.
—Our fellow-townsmen will, in the course of a few days,
have the honour of a visit, although only a passing one,
from her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, her Royal
Consort, and their children. Hut Majesty will leave Os-
borne early on Monday morning next, August 30, and
having landed at Gosport will proceed thence by the South-
western Railway to Basingstoke. There she will change
carriages, and proceed by the Great Western lino to Glou-
cester, and thence by the Midland line to Birmingham,
and so on to Derby, where her Majesty will sleep that
night, proceeding on northwards next day.—Birmingham
Gazette.

PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT.—At the meeting of
the Privy Council on Wednesday, writs were ordered to
be issued for proroguing the Parliament, which is ap-
pointed to meet on Friday, the 20th of August instant, to
Thursday the 21st of October next ; and also for proro-
guing the convocations of the provinces of Canterbury and
York frrm Saturday, the 21st of August instant, to Friday,
the 22nd day of October next.

PARLIAMENT was formally prorogued on Friday by the
Lord Chancellor. The House of Lords was represented
by the Duke of Northumberland and Lord Howard de
Walden, and the Commons by the Clerks of the House.
The customary forms of prorogation were gone through,
and the proceedings did not occupy more than five minutes.
MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.—It is probable that Par-
liament will meet for the despatch of business about the
third week in November.

HER MAJESTY has been pleased to appoint the Marquis
of Granby to be Lord Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum
of the county of Lincoln.

THE VACANT VICE•CHANCELLORSHIP.—Among other
gratuitous speculations to which this event has given rise,
it has been intimated by some of our contemporaries that
Mr. Walpole was about to resign the seals of the Home
Office, an i to secure a seat on the bench, in the prospect
of the consummation so devoutly looked forward to in
certain quarters. Anything more egregiously absurd than
this we never heard. We need hardly say that these
well-wishers of Mr. Walpole are doomed to be grievously
disappointed, as there is every reason to believe that the
right honourable and learned gentleman is in no way dis-
satisfied either with his position or with his look out in his
present quarters, which we trust, for the sake of the
country, that he will long continue to occupy.—John Bull.
MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The marriage of the
Lady Francis Hay, third daughter of the Earl and Countess
Kinnoull, with Captain Lloyd (Grenadier Guards), of
Aston Hall, Salop, and of Chigwell, Essex, took place on
Thursday, at St. George's, Hanover-square, London.
LADY ERNESTINE EDGCUMBE. the only daughter of
the Earl and Countess of Mount Edgcumbe, had the mis-
fortune last week to fall on the slope of the terrace at
Cotele, and broke her arm just above the wrist.
MRS. SHELL, (relict of the late Rt. Hon. R. L. Shell.)
died on the 4th instant, at Leghorn.
DEATH OF THE DUKE OF HAMILTON.—On Tuesday
night, at his house in Portman-square, the nobleman who
for more than 30 years has held the position of Premier
Peer of Scotland breathed his last. His grace was
born on the sth of October, 17G7. The deceased duke is
succeeded in his title and estates by the Marquis of
Douglas, who is married to a daughter of the late Grand
Duke of Baden, and first cousin to the president of the
French Republic. The present (and 11th) duke has
several children.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO BELGIUM

(From the Times.)

If we were only to keep as sharp a look-out for
our enemies as we do for our friends, the shores of
England would, indeed, be secure from invasion.
We trust the public will have been greatly edified
by the account of all the saluting and blazing at
our gracious Sovereign, as she steamed to and
from Belgium. It is difficult to imagine how the
sense of dignity can be gratified by these absurd
displays. Had Queen Victoria been a pigeon let
loose from a trap in Battersea-fields, she could not
have been more sedulously popped at than during
her recent cruise up and down the channel. A-
rumour that the little squadron was in sight was
sufficient signal for commencing the display of this
sulphurous loyalty. We are at a loss to conceive
what gratification could have resulted to her
Majesty from so silly a demonstration. Of positive
results, indeed, we know but two—the Waste of an
enormous quantity of gunpowder and the mutilation
of a wretched seaman in the Scheldt.

Were any argument necessary beyond the patent
absurdity of the existing custom to recommend so
wholesome a change, it might be found in the fact
that, while our war ships and batteries are giving
her Majesty a series of headaches by the discharge
of blank cartridges, the supply of powder allowed
for practising gunnery is notoriously insufficient.
We teach our sailors to fire at their Queen, but we
deny them the instruction which would enable
them to fire with effect upon the Queen's enemies.
We cannot forget that not many years since a
French ship of war steamed into Sheerness without
being saluted at all, and that when at last the
attention of the authorities in that martial port was

aroused to the presence of their unexpectedc rriio
