COVNLIO ---?ASELIONABLIN. The Duchess of Inverness is passing the autumn at Kensington Palace, where her Grace occasionally entertains select parties at dinner. The Duke and Duchess of Manchester and Lady Olivia Montagu intend to pass the winter in Spain, for the improvement of her Grace's health, which has been for some time in a delicate state. The Duke and Duchess have arrived at Brampton Park, on a visit to Lady Olivia Sparrow, from Tandaregle Castle, previous to embarking for Cadiz. The Hon. Mr. Cadogan and Mr. F. Courtenay have returned to town from Lord William Powlett's seat in Norfolk, and leave shortly on a visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of Anglesey, at Beaudesert. On Saturday, George Cornwall Lewis, Esq., one of the Poor-law Commissioners for England and Wales, led to the altar, at Watford Church, Lady Theresa Lister, relict of the late Thomas H. Lister, Esq., and sister to the Earl of Clarendon, and to the Hon. Charles Pelham Villiers. The Hon. Montagu Villiers officiated at the ceremony. antiGNlS.GArfaloini.  On Wednesday, the 16th instant, application was made to the Court of Quarter Sessions for the county, at Exeter, for permission to erect a set of powderon Dartmoor. The Court took time to consider, and on Friday granted a license for this purpose to Messrs. George Frean and Co. The site selected is ten miles from Moretonhamptead, and two miles from Two Bridges. The nearest point of the mills to the turnpike road is 728 yards, of three feet each. The nearest point of the magazine to the road is 520 yards. The distance between the mills and the magazine will be 1,200 yards. On Friday, October 11, as a labourer was employed in digging flints on one of the highest points of the hills whic bound the Vale of Pewsey on the north, he turned up a beautiful ornament of solid gold, weighing rather more than two ounces and a half troy, in the highest state of preservation. It was imbedded in the earth at about eighteen inches under the turf. The only articles at all resembling it are the supposed Druidical ornaments called :torques, of which several were discovered in Somersetshire towards the end of the last century, but of base metal. Prince Albert's Hariers met at the gas house at Egham, on Saturday, had three excellent runs, securing a brace and a half of fine hares. On Saturday the students of University College, Gower-street, assembled in the lecture theatre, for the purpose of inviting Professor Liebig, of European celebrity as a chymist, to a dinner. Though the matter had been only broached the evening before in  the presence of thirty-five etudents, thirty of them had instantly subscribed a guinea each. A committee was appointed to arrange the affair. On Saturday, as the mail train from York to London was passing under Milford-bridge, in the evening, the engine-driver was knocked down by some miscreant throwing a stone, which caught him on the head, from the effects of which he remained insensible for some time afterwards. Fortunately the stoker was competent to undertake the management of the engine, or a dreadful catastrophe must have ensued, there being two trains on the same line, about a mile from the bridge, and waiting the arrival of the train in question. The Railway Company offered a reward of 501. for the apprehension and conviction of the offenders, and on Sunday last three young men, servants in husbandry at Milford, were taken into custody on suspicion, and on Tuesday two of them, named Newby and Westmorelaad, were committed. The shawls, three in number, selected by the Baron Nieumann as a marriage gift to his fair betrothed, are said to be among the finest that even' left India. His Excellency will return from Vienna about the middle of November, stored with precious offerings to lay on the altar of Hymen, some pearls of great value forming a portion of them. Government has increased the reward offered to discover the murderers of Mr. Carden's steward from one to two hundred pounds, and a free pardon, except to the actual perpetrator. The new charter for incorporating the town of Wexford comes into operation the Ist of January. A son of the Rev. Thomas Buxton, of Kilbren Glebe, near Ashbourne, a boy of nine years old, had his hand nearly blown off by the explosion of a powder' horn, a few days since. He escaped, however, with the loss of two fingers and part of a thumb. Westminster.bridge was re-opened yesterday.
