PGES ENT TO Mat. O'CoNNELL—The Rldetth Ob-
server states that the inhabitants of Cob!cog and the
neighbouring towns had opened a subscrirton 11 the
pureha,te of a care° of Rhenish wine of the first quality,
as a present to Daniel O'Connell.
R. S. Maxwell, Esq.. High Sheriff of Cavan. has de-
clined to call a poblc mettle.' to forward the interests of
Cie proposed Dubbit and Cavan Railway, arid has given
the following untiseal, but conscientious reason tor his
refusal. Ile says, "My objection is entirely of a religious
nature, and amounts, in a word, to this, that a vast in-
crease in the desecration of the Lord's Pay roust neces-
sarily result from the estallishment cf the Dublin and
Cavan Railway, unless it he intended (and I take it for
granted it is not) to conduct it on a wholly different princi-
ple from that which regulates every other railway. By
givineetny name, or contributing my aid in any way to the
object in question, I co rceive that I should be taking a-
part in the promotion of an esil which I, as a ebtistian
man, consider cannot be too strongly deprecated, or too
streetieu,ly resisted.
A LAUGH ABLE OCCURRENCE.--,Tbe neighbourhood of
Northumb,rl nd-avenue, Kingstown, wasoti Ft iday thrown
into a state of the utmost excitement, it having trues-
pired that a lady had made an as-ignment with ag'ent lc-
man who had advertised for a wife. Accordingly at the
hour mentioned (three o'clock) the expectant inhsbitants
of the avenue were highly amuses beholding, as Burns
would wry, "a tine fat fagel weght" make his appearance,
wiping his fat face with a white handkerchief, the lady
having requestA that he would oera•i:mally olace a white
handkerchief to his face, as the means of recognition, and
(water stating that she would drive up in a pony One ton
in a grew skiwer of rain, with the servant on the rumble'

fortunate man fancie:l Cott the object of his search was at
length before him; and, after a few convulsive applica-
tions of the handkerchief. started forwar.l, and with a
spring, remarkable for a mart of his size, fairly jumped
into tee phaeton : and before the astonished lady could

THE COURT 4- FASHIONABLE WORLD.

Her Majesty and Prince Albert arrived at 'Windsor at
seven o'clock on Monday, from Osborne House, Isle of
Wi4ht, which place the royal party left at twenty minutes
baf,re two o'clock.

The Post gays that it is the intention of her Majesty to
honour Marqnis and Marchioness of Exeter with a
visit at their princely residence, Burleigh House, near
Stamford, ht as ehrly a period as possible subsequent to
the opening of the new Royal Exchange. It is prob.ble
the court will leave Windsor for Lincolnshire about the
commencement of the ensuing mluth.

A SABBATH MORNING'S WALK.—Sunday morning
weak the serenity which pervades most country villages
on the Sabbath Day was experienced in the greatest degree
at East Cowes. Her Majesty rose at eight o'clock, and
having breakfasted, accompanied by Prince Albert, pro-
ceeded to take her accustomed etercise. Leaving the
domain of Osborne 1-lcu,e at the southern gate, the Queen
and Prince proceeded on the tut apike-road towards Whip-
pingham, about a mile and a half distant. Tha royal pair
arm-in•arm, were recognised at the hotel which fronts the
gate, and by the woman at the turnpike, without the in-
dulgence of any impertinent curiosity; and as the Queen
and Princa proceedei on their v.-ilk, many pedestrians
become acquainted with the fact that it was tier Majesty
and the Prince.

UNFREPARF.D FOR A SUDDEN STORM.—Before they
had rea, het) Whippingham a sudden storm came on, for
which the Queen and Prince were unprepared, her Ma-
jesty having only her usual attire. and a mall parasol.
The Queen and Prince Albert, notwithstanding, proceeded
on their course towards the Barton, then about a mile
and a half from Osborne House, although they passed
several cottages.
• A FORTUNATE POSTMAN.—The postman, however, at
Whippinghatn had observed the royal pedestrians, and
with the best umbrella his humble means allowed him, ran
atter her Majesty, and offered it for the service of the
Queen. The Prince very graciously accepted the offer,
and his Royal Highness and her 11\1:jesty pursued their
way by the Barton to Osborne, over the fields, bidding
the man to follow. On their .'rival at the house, with
many expressions of thanks, the postman was most agree-
ably surprised with the return of his umbrella, and a
present of £5. The man departed in no very unpleasant
as may be supposed, and was not at all scrupulous
in proclaiming to his acquaintances, as he met them, that
"it was a good day's work for him." As soon as the
rain threatened, one or two of the attendants were des-
patched wth umbrellas and cloaks, to see her Majesty
and his Royal llighness, but did not fall irs with her
Majesty.
PRINCE ALBERT'S ANNUAL SALE OF LIVE STOCK.—

" According to the Act of Parliament of William M., the Sore-

land, or the people are released from their allegiance
