Yesterday Prince Leorinn visited the Duke and

ing his Royal Highness dined with the Duke and

We understand that a Requisition was last night
signed by a number of respectable housekeepers, and
was this morning presented to the HIGH BAILIFF of
Westminster, to convene a Public Meeting of the in-
habitants, to express their sentiments on the Bills now
in progress through the two Houses of Parliament.
The beautiful mansion, of E.J. Lit.lotrf, Esq. near
Bodmin, i Cornwall, with the valuable furniture,
choice library, wines, &c. were destroyed by fire,
early in the morning of Friday last. Mr. GLYNN and
his amiable daughter, with difficulty escaped the
flames, without having time to put on their clothes.
At the moment of the fire breaking out, the whole of
the family were in their beds, and asleep.
Sunday night, about eleven o'clock, the large
gasometer belonging to the public gas-works, at
Manchester, was burst by a sudden explosion of the
gas, the cause of which is not yet ascertained. By
the explosion, one of the workmen left on the pre-
mises, was much hurt. All the gas-lamps in the town
were, of course, extinguished almost momentarily.
THE WEATHER.--% ithin the list seven or eight
days, the vicissitudes of the weather have been re-
markable. On Wednesday, in the last week, at eight
o'clock in the morning, the thermometer had sunk
seven degrees below the freezing point ; on Monday,
at the same hour, it stood at fifty, and by two o'clock
that day, it had risen to fifty-three ; and, on Tues-
day last, at ten o'clock, it attained the mean tempe-
rature of the whole year, or fifty-five.
EAST Itiotes.—Extract of a Letter from Bombay,
dated June '2d:—" The Fort of Copauldroog Ice
carried by assault, on the 14th of May, by the force
under the command of General Pritzler. We undet-
-.and that the resistance was considerable, and that
use enemy committed considerable havoc, by throwing
stones from the work. The loss on this occasion was
six killed and 51 wounded, and this has been ac-
counted for by the very spirited manner in which the
Officers and men did their duty. We have• to lament
the loss of a very promising young Officer, Ensign
Eliott, of the Rifle Corps, who fell, when exerting
himself to the utmost, at the second gateway. Cap-
tain Dunn, Assistant •Quarter. Master-General, and
Lieutenant Pringle Taylor, were severely wounded.
The former was employed to explain the Brigadier-
General's orders to the troops forming the left attack,
and the latter, who happened to be accidentally on
the spot, was permitted to advance with it. Both
Officers as well as Lieutenant Silver, of his Majesty's
.53d Regiment, were wounded when shelving an
example of the most determined bravery to the
troops. It appears that the Nabob of Lucknow has
thought proper to declare himself independent from
the (treat Mogul of Delhi, no longer acknowledging
himself the Nai b or Viceroy of that Court, but hav-
ing himself assumed the title of royalty. He of
course now coins money in his own name. His ru-
peesproclaim him ,4 Shaw Zemean," King of the
rth. We dare say the other Nabobs and Soobahs
of India, especially one, will soon follow his example.
Their dependence upon the Court of Delhi was long
si ice but nominal. The new King is, we_think, the
..hest of the Indian tributaries of the British empire.
Considerable consternation prevails amongst the ni-
live population, at the return of the epidemic amongst
us. During the last week numerous cases have oc-
cut red, an/ we are sorry to add, many natives have
fallen victims to it. We trust, however, that the
strong land winds which now prevail will again drive
this dreadful plague from amongst us. It is, bow-
ever, to be observed, that in Bengal the disease was at.
as greatest height during the hot winds of last year..
