GOSSIP ABOUT VICToRIA.-Letter wrt-
tiers from England continue their as
sertions OF Queen Yictoria's growing
unpopularity. The Court and the house
keepers both dislike her keeping up
mourning; the former because there are
no gaieties at the palace, and the latter
because their trade suffers. The news
papers also denounce her habit of
sending royal visitors to hotels, and
paying their bills, instead of entertain
ing them at the palace. ISLANDERS are
in circulation that she is in love with a
servant named John Brown, because
he looks very much like her late hus-
band. A correspondent OF the New
York World says: She has her faults;
she is now and then hasty in her temper;
she is excessively economical, and l
am afraid she drinks far greater
quantity Divine than most ladies are
able to take at sitting; but TO impugn
her character as u virtuOus woman is
a great perversion of truth which is the
more to be reprehended since 1t is di-
rected against lady placed in posi-
ton from which she cannot stoop to
punish her calumniators. AS men
TONED the Queens well known weak
ness for one more glass of wine, may
as well state how she acquired it. The
Prince Consort was gOurmand, and
the Queen to discourage as much as
possible his propensity for a heavy din
ner, always dined with the royal chill
dren at midday. AT the regular late
dinner sh eonly sat mt the table for the
sake of etiquette, and as she scarcely
ate anything, she unconsciously took
wine in about the same quantity as II
she were Partaking of a meal. Thus the
habit grew upon her, and has never
left her.

4 TOwN UNDER THE SNow.-A Calltor-
MIA paper gives a rather hard-to-bclievc
story Of the depth Of the snow on the Sierra
Nevada mountains in February and March
bv describing Il visit Of merchant named
Adams from the valley to the mining town
of Meadow Lake, on the top Of the noun
tains: He procured pair of snow shoes
and took the tracks Of some who had gone
over the day before. After some hours Of
hard travel, he arrived where the town
should be, but not house was visible.
While he was looking around, a man sud
denly came up out OF the snow ike mer-
maid out of the sea. Adams asked him il he
could tell him where Meadow Lake was,
not knowing as yet whether the OBJECT be-
fore him was man or spirit. Why
said the fellow, syou arc right on the plaza
Adams asked if he could show him
where the store of Adams x Johnson was.
sOh, yes. come along 4 few shoycS on
a pair of snow shoes soon brought them to
a round hole in the snow, and Adams was
told that that was the hole which led TO
the store. There were stairs made III the
snow like a spiral stairway, twisting Sevc-
raj times around the hole in making the
descent. Finally he arrived at the bottom,
and was astonished to find his friends there
happy and gay, and ready to vOuch for the
country being one of the richest ever dis
covered. From the store theyrtravclled
over town through tunnels. Every one
seemed TO be contcntcd with his lot. The
citizens seldom 90 to the top Of the snow,
except when there is a snow-Shoe race, at
which time the whole town turns out"

SIX PEOPLE SmCDa BY LIGHTNING.-
Most of our Charleston readers will recol-
lcct a vivid flash Of lightning, followed by
q dcatcniug peal Of thunder, which occur
red exactly at : o'clock last evening,
during the thunderstorm then passing

struck a party Of three ladies' and two
gentlemen under the porlico of ST. Mi

The party under the portico consisted Of
Mr.. IL. II. Williams, r., and his wife, his

PERTLoUS BALLOON VoYAGE.-Mr. Holds
man has made a curious voyage in a balloon
from Dublin 10 a place near Appleby,
crossing the Channel al night in pouring
rain, which made the balloon 50 heavy that
ii nearly sank into the sea. Mr.. IodSman
only kept it up by letting down the Crap
mel and keeping his hand on the rope, 10y
which means he could tell whenever he
touched the sea, and throwing out sand
whenever he found he was descending.
Once, when benumhcd with cold and IA
tguc he fell asleep for few minutes, he
descended 10 within six feet Of the sur
face, when he instantly threw ont twenty
eight pounds Of ballast, which sent him up
again to the height OF a mile, and iortu-
nately for him above the rain clouds, on
which the bright moon cast the flying
shadow Of the balloon. At last he saw
what he thought was light, and soon after
square compartments, that turned out to
be fields, and then town, which turned
out to be Appleby. This was at 3 A. NJ.
He got the grapnel caught in wood, and
was assisted to pull the balloon into the
opening by some young men who were for
tunately returning from late Appleby
ball, and who at first iaucied he might be
a "boglc." "BoglcS,' however, near APP
pleby, are not so confidently believed in
as formerly, and Mr.. Hodsman was kindly
extricated from his uncomfortable posi-
ton, and breaktaSted with great Gclot at
Dutton, village about two miles from APP
plcby.-L0n,lon Spectator.

in which he says that he submits to the
argument of the bayonet, and vacates his
office. He says he was elected to the office
while paroled prisoner, and was not al
lowed by the military to discharge its du-
ties until pardoned by the President and
having taken the oath to support the Con-
stitution and Government during his con-
tinuauce in office. He has not been untrue
to the letter or spirit of his oath, and he
solemnly protests against the imputation
implied by his removal. He concludes by
thanking Colonel Shepherd for his uniform
