PRINCE LEOPOLD.—Prince Leopold, who is at present with the Queen at Osborne, has, we are informed, been suffering from • severe illness, which at one time created much alarm in the royal family. The Prince has been attended by Dr. Jeuner and Dr. Paget. At one crisis in the Prince's illness the case is understood to have been considered almost hopeless, but the latest acoounts speak of • gradual improvement in his health. The Duke and Duchess of Newcastle and family arrived at their residence on Carlton House.terraos, yesterday, from Clamber Park, Notts. The duke is going on favourably after his recent accident. The Duchess (Dowager) of Sutherland left Stafford House, St. James's, yesterday, for Chiswick, and to-flay goes to Cliveden, near Maidenhead. The Earl and Countess of Dudley arrived at Dudley House, Park-lane, on Monday, from Witley Court, Worcestershire. Lord and Lady Elcho and family do not intend to return home from Cannes till Easter. Lord Broughton is entertaining a select party at Tidworth, Wilts. Thu Earl of Hardwicke has arrived in Portmansquare from Sydney Lodge, Southampton, for • few days. Yesterday the Lord Lieutenant held his first levee. It wee the largest ever witnessed in Dublin. The christening of the infant son of the Hon. Reginald and Mrs. Sackville-West took place on Monday at the Holy Trinity Church, Brampton. The sponsors were the Duke of Rutland, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Duchene of Hamilton, and Mrs. Baillie Cochrane. The future heir to the title of Buokhurst received the family names of Lionel Charles Contend. The Rev. E. Kershaw officiated. It is stated that the Marquis d'Azeglio, Minister Plenipotentiary from the Italian to the British government, has resigned his office, and that his successor will arrive in London before Easter. The Marquis d'Azeglio continues to reside in London. The death took place on Friday last, at 7, Sionhill, Bath, of Edwyn Henry Vaughan, M.A., late Assistant-Master of Harrow School, aged 49. The Birmingham Post of to-day thus describes the interruption which occurred at the commencement of Mr. Bright's speech last evening :—" There was some little disturbance at the commencement of the meeting—attributed, whether rightly or wrongly, to some few foollah members of the Liberal Conservative Association, who laboured under the delusion that, by persistent clamour, they could ' put down Bright.' The Chairman, with some perseverance, got through his short speech without any very great difficulty. As soon as Mr. Bright rose, some half-a-dozen persons at the back of the floor began shouting—perhaps barking would better express it. An effort was made by their neighbours to silence them, and a good deal of confusion followed. Mr. Bright waited very patiently, once or twice essaying in vain to obtain silence. The great majority of the audience for • long time imitated his patience. At last they could endure it no longer. In about as short • time as it takes to read this sentence two of the ringleaders of the disturbance on the floor were unceremoniously ejected, end order was at once restored there. Then some foolish fellow at the top of the orchestra interfered. Instantly his neighbours turned upon him. For a moment he was seen protesting ; than a number of gentlemen were seen politely bowing ; the next moment the disturber had disappeared. From that time perfect silence reigned, and Mr. Bright began and closed his speech without interruption." Nearly 300 Irish people—men, women, and children—left Wedncebruy, on Monday, en route for 'Southern Brazil. With others collected from different parts of the country they are to proceed from Liverpool to their deetination, where they will, it is understood, be employed in agricultural pursuits. A second party is to follow shortly, and to be seecormuded by the Rev. G. Montgomery, priest of the Roman catholic, of Weaponry, who himself was employed aetively in arranging . or the departure of the first detachment. Mr. Richards, the medical gentleman who gave evidence in the case of Clark, the Lambeth murderer, writes :—",Wbea the man beard at the police-court that I
