WooLF.—The German papers received yesterday contain a letter, dated Constantinople, September 25, relative to this enterprising It would not i deserve notice after the m traveller. important communication which appeared in The Sun, of Monday, if it did not state that the Ameer, who, according to Dr. Woolf's letter of June 27, was then at Samarcand, had returned, and manifested great kindness to the doctor. We therefore presume that the information, whatever may be its authority on which this letter was written, must have been of later date than that transmitted by Dr. Woolf from Bokhara. The following is a translation :—" Constantinople, Sept. 25.—The most recent accounts from Teheran speak again somewhat more favourably for our countryman, Dr. Woolf. The Emir, of Bokhara, after his return from Samarcand, sent for Dr. Woolf, gave him a very good reception, presented him with 100 pieces of gold, a horse, a kaftan of honour, and gave him permission to commence , and strongly suspected missionary to be overtakenhis return journey.

Should he succeed in joining it, his safety may be regarded as secured." A curious delusion appears to have prevailed for centuries amongst the inhabitants of the Isle of Wight with regard to a royal residence being established in it. The general impression was, that, in the event of the Sovereign sleeping a night on the island, all claim to the territory was forfeited by the British Crown. This delusion appears to have been favoured and encouraged by the course adopted by King George the Fourth, who, when he was in the habit of visiting Mr. Nash, the architect, at East Cowes Castle, as Prince Regent, always slept on board the Royal George yacht, anchored in the roads, and, subsequently, after his accession to the Throne, when the Manor House was purchased, and fitted up as a royal residence, and called the King's House, he was never known to pass a night under its roof. So popular had this absurdity beccme, that many people in Cowes might be found at this moment, who really believe that her Majesty passed the night on board. the yacht, but that, for obvious State reasons, the fact is not avowed. Hcw this delusion could have continued, after King Charles's captivity in Cariabrooke Castle, is astonishing ; but the natives account for that by pointing to his unhappy end. THE LATE DUCHESS or
