COURT AND FASHION.

THE QUEEN held a Privy Council on Tuesday after-
noon, at Buckingham Palace. A proclamation was ordered
to be issued respecting Roman Catholic processions.

CABINET COUNCIL.—A Cabinet Council was held on
Saturday. At three o'clock the Ministers met, and was
in deliberation till a quarter to five.
SIR JOHN YARDE BULLER, M.P. for the Southern
Division of Devon, is, it is said, to be raised to the
peerage.

APPOINTMENTS.—Mr. Robert Pritchard is appointed
Collector of Customs at St. Helena. Mr. James Porteous
is appointed member of the Council at Jamaica.
THE FOUNDATION STONE of the Cambridge Asylum
for Widows, at Norbiton, was laid on Tuesday by Prince
Albert, with the usual ceremonies, in presence of a large
concourse of spectators.

SIR HARRY SMITH, G.C.8., was, on Tuesday, pre-
sented to the Queen, on his return from the Cape of
Good Hope, by the Right Hon. Sir J. Pakington, Her
Majesty's principal secretary of state for the colonies.
A BANQUET was given on Saturday night, at the Lon-
don Tavern, to Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, on his ap-
pointment as Commander-in-Chief at Bombay. The
entertainment was one of the most splendid ever given
within the city of London.
THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON gave a splendid enter-
tainment to the prelates and a great number of the other
dignitaries of the church, upon their retnrn from St.
Paul's, on Wednesday, after the sermon in aid of the
Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign
Parts. Covers were laid in the Egyptian-hall for 350.
The Bishops of Michigan and Western New York were
amongst the guests as a deputation from America.

THE WATERLOO BANQUET was celebrated on Friday
at Aspley House. The entertainment was attended by
Prince Albert and eighty-four other General and Field
Officers, including Sir Harry Smith, all of whom, with
the exception of the Prince, were "Waterloo men."
The most interesting feature of the evening was the cordial
manner in which the Duke of Wellington proposed Sir
Harry Smith's health, and the enthusiastic way in which
it was drank. In the course of the day an immense throng
of the nobility and diplomatic body left their cards at the
mansion of the venerable Duke.

LORD JOHN Russet. delivered his final bark—bark? no,
snarl, rather, let us say—from the Opposition Bench on
Monday. Feeble and discursive, like his address to the
electors of London, his attack upon the Government was
one of the most pitiable failures of his waning career. An
occasional touch of venom bespoke the unchanged bitter-
ness of the faction leader, but force and fire were alike
wanting to the tirade that vainly strove to swell itself up
into a philippic. It produced one good effect, however,—
it brought out the manly eloquence of Lord STANLEY,
who ably vindicated the Earl of MALMESBURY, and set
the Mather grievance finally at rest.—John Bull.

MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE.—The long pending mar-
riage of Viscount Newark, eldest son of the Earl Man-
vers, and the Lady Georgiana Jane Eizabeth Fanny, the
accomplished daughter of the Duke and Duchess de
Coigny, was solemnised on Tuesday, in St. George's
Church, Hanover-square, London. On the same day,
and at the same church, was solemnised the marriage of
the Hon. and Rev. Aubrey Richard Spring Rice, eldest
son of Lord Monteagle, and Anna Maria Jane, daughter
of the lata Sir Henry Paulet St. John Mildmay. Also
the marriage nuptials of Beauchamp Proctor, Esq.. son
of Sir William Beauchamp Proctor, with the Hon. Miss
Catherine Esther Waldegrave, youngest daughter of Lord
Radstock, were solemnised at All Souls' Church, Lang-
ham place, Regent, street, by the Lord Bishop of London.

RUMOURED RESTORATION OF THE RUINS OF JERU-
SALEM.—A very grand scheme is said to have been pro-
posed by the Grand Turk himself for the restoration of
Jerusalem to the Jews, the rebuilding of Solomon's
Temple, and the conversion of " Jerusalem to the Jews:"

and the conversion of Jerusalem that now is into " the
new Jerusalem." According to the Suisse of Berne, of
April 13th, " A correspondent writes from Constanti-
nople, on April Ist, that the Divan has hit upon a very
original plan for settling of the holy places. The four
pashalics of Syria are to be granted to M. Rothschild for
the sum of £20,000,000 to be paid into the treasury of the
Sultan.; and, upon the sum of £2,000,000 being paid to

SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—It is a trite remark that
fact is stranger than fiction ; and, in illustration, the fol-
lowing incident is most apt :—" About one o'clock in the
morning of the 26th ultimo, the Eight Sisters, of Shore-
ham, belonging to Samuel Andrews, of Brighton, while
fishing for mackarel off the Isle of Wight, was run into by
the Oldenburgh brig Fosua, from Brake, Captain Fooken
commander, bound for Lisbon, with stone-coal from
Hartlepool. The night was very dark, and, notwit
ing the strictest look-out was kept on bar -
approach of the vessel was not observed ti
to prevent the collision. As soon as th
