Judge Hopkinson, of Canada, died on the 27th of March. Mr. Robson, the comedian, who has recently been playing at the Edinburgh Theatre, is now lying danger- ously ill in that city. Mr. Samuel Peacock, fruit merchant, Bristol, has com- mitted suicide by cutting his throat while labouring under temporary insanity. The Prince of Wales is superintending the erection of a very superior class of workmen's cottages on his San- dringham estate. James Greaves, who killed his sister-in-law at Black- burn, on Sunday, has been committed for trial on a charge of manslaughter. A young man named Henry Hall was killed in a fight with a youth named Wiswould, at Lincoln, on Saturday. Wiswould has been committed for trial on a oharge of manslaughter. Seven gentlemen of good station living in Malta have been imprisoned and fined for assaulting Mr. Webster, author of a pamphlet entitled English Governors and Foreign Grumblers." A proposal is on foot to institute county lyceums for the cheap education of middle-class young men, whose parents cannot afford to send them to Rugby, Eton, Harrow, Oxford, or Cambridge. Amongst election on dits it is said that a son of the Chancellor of the Exchequer is likely to come for- ward as a candidate for Blackburn at the next general election. A misunderstanding has arisen on the question of wages between the ironmasters aud their workmen in the Leeds district. A strike will probably result. The remains of Mr. T. P. Cooke were interred on Monday in the family vault at Brompton Cemetery, in the presence of a vast number of the members of the theatrical profession. 1501 deaths were registered in London last week, being 118 in excess of the average number registered in the corresponding weeks of the last ten years. The births of 1018 boys and 995 girls, in all 2013 children, were registered in London last week. The average number of births registered in the corresponding weeks of the last ten years was 1966. Charles Musgrave, a collector for the Leeds Gas- Light Company, was tried at the Leeds sessions on Tuesday, on a charge of having embezzled about £400. He was found guilty and sentenced to ten months' im- prisonment. There is a story afloat in the Inns of Court which seems to require a refutation. It seems that Mr. Pope Hennessy has joined the home circuit, but on applying for admission to mess he was blackballed.— Spectator. GOODY GLADSTONE'S GIFTS.-(To the Agricultural Party). "You've got your 'sugar,' and your 'fire medal,' and there's 'a penny' for you and if you're a civil boy, perhaps, some of these days, we'll think about the 'malt.—Punch. THE ENGLISH" AT HOME.—There is a building just outside the People's-gate, to which every Sunday morn- ing, crowds of carriages, as well appointed as in Hyde- park, are seen approaching; and the little French soldiers at the gate thrust their hands further than ever into their red pockets and gather in small bright-eyed knots discussing "les Anglais," as the carriages, one by one, in endless succession disgorge their comfortable looking contents. It is the English church, at the door of which you observe that two papal gendarmes are posted, ap. parently lest the panther should kick over the traces. In all the galleries three-fourths of the visitors are Eng- lish and they generally express their opinions as loudly as if they were valuable. I was standing one day before Guido's famous Beatrice," absorbed in the surpassing folly of attempting to carry away some recollection of it on paper, and during all the time interesting scraps of Chatham's language" were buzzing about my ears. Sweet pretty thing, isn't it?" "Don't much like it." Charming!" H'm it is and it isn't." Best thing I ever saw of Guido's." One of the most celebrated picturas in Rome; the last being a sentence read aloud by Paterfamilias, for the benefit of his daughters, from the ubiquitous Murray, "Avez vous le Guide It la Rome? Pitty—pas—grande—practical you know." This was an utterance which I overheard one day in Piale's library, lie did hot know, and with a "come along old fellow, got lots to do," English Jones and English Smith, honest, patriotic fellows, who would stand no nonsense from foreigners, went off and did it. Also I remark that for one Englishman in Rome there are ten Englishwomen—for which phenomenon let those account who can. Could you tell me, sir, which are the Samnite and which the Alban hills ?" asked one of these fair girs, unexpectedly addressing me at an open window of the Villa Albani. Her enjoyment of Rome from a historical point of view must have been perfect. At Florence and Naples it is the same-the British lion prowls conspicuous in all places.

FROM OUR PUIVATE CORRESPONDENT. LONDON, THURSDAV. The Court Newsman, of this morning, informs us, that the King of the Belgians arrived at Buckingham PalaCs yesterday afternoon. The Duchess of Cambridge, and the Princess Mary, remain at Windsor. Somewhat recovering from the bustle and excitement of Monday, we, Londoners, are now beginning to think a little about the Budget. People are not so sangUlos ai to its merits as they were. The Chancellor of &

I NEWS OF THE WEEK. On Saturday morning the Queen arrived at Buckingham Palace, and at three p.m. her Ma- jesty took her seat on the throne in the white drawing-room, accompanied by the King of the Belgians, the Princesses Helena and Louise, and Prince Arthur. Earl and the Countess Rus- sell were also in attendance, and all the members of her Majesty's household. Shortly after the Diplomatic Body, and their ladies, were received by her Majesty. The ceremony occupied nearly two hours. When it was over the Queen, the King of the Belgians, and the Princess Helena proceeded to Windsor, the Princess Louise and Prince Arthur remained at the Palace, and went to the Adelphi Theatre in the evening, returning to Windsor after the performance. Prince Alfred also arrived at Windsor, on Saturday evening, from Holyrood. On Monday the Duchess of Cambridge, and the Princess Mary, arrived at the Castle on a visit to the Queen. Mr. Chichester Fortescue, the Under Secre- tary of State for the Colonies, and who expected to be the Chief Secretary when anv change took place, is appointed one of her Majesty's Privy Council, probably to console him for his disap- pointment. Mr. Cardwell, the new Colonial Sec- retary, was re-elected for Oxford on Saturday, without opposition. The Earl of Clarendon has gone Paris on a private mission to the Emperor. The object to be attained is variously reported, but the most generally re- ceived opinion is, that his lordship goes to re- establish, if possible, the former cordial relations between the two countries. The report of this mission, it is said, has created some surprise in Paris. The report of Sir John Pennefather, on the Easter Monday review, dated the 31st ult., ap- pears in Friday night's Oazet e. The General de- scribes the movements, expresses his thanks to the officers who assisted him, with whom he had every reason to be satisfied, and says, "it affords me the utmost gratification to state that my re- port of the Volunteers must be most favourable." The General describes them as 4, fine, active, in- telligent men well-dressed, their appointments well put on, their arms, generally, in good order, their step alert and active, and they skirmish well, and keep up an excellent sustained fire," and all seemed animated by one and the same spirit to perform their duty as soldiers to the best of their ability." He recommends, to complete the efficiency of the corps, more steady company and battalion drill, and that they should be brig- aded as often as convenient," the brigade being "commanded by the same brigadier." Never, except perhaps on the occasion of the late Duke of Wellington's funeral, and the arrival of the Princess of Wales, were there so many people collected together as were seen in London; on Monday, on the route taken by the procession that escorted Garibaldi from the Nine Elms Sta- tion to Stafford House. The General left Brooke House at 8 a.m., arrived at Southampton after a pleasant voyage, and left for London at a quarter after 12, reaching Nine Elms about 2. There was great confusion at the station on his arrival, owing to the crowd, but order was soon restored. The entire route, from Nine Elms to Stafford House, was lined by hundreds of thousands of people. The roofs of houses were also covered, and every window filled. Several addresses were presented to Garibaldi at the station and his progress to Stafford House was a continued ova- tion. At Stafford House he was received by the Duke, Duchess, and Dowager Duchess of Suther- land, and there was a party of 18 to dinner. On Tuesday Garibaldi visited Lord Palmerston, the Duchess Dowager of Sutherland, and Mr. Stans- feld. He was to visit the Opera House on Thurs- day night, the Crystal Palace to-day [Saturday] and Monday, and dine with the right lion. W. E. Gladstone on Wednesday. The Turkish Government, it was reported, had forfeited the high ground it took in 1849, when the Ministers of the Sultan refused to give up Kossuth to Austria, by surrendering to the Rus- sian authorities a Pole who had fled from Odessa. This is contradicted by advices from Constantinople to the 7th inst., the fugitive, at that time, was still at liberty, and there was no intention of giv- ing him up. The accounts, this week, from Po- land, notice the appearance of two more insurgent corps, one of which had issued from Eastern Prus- sia, and the peasants are now said to have taken an active part in the insurrection. The Paris papers of the 10th, notice a considerable mortality in the prisoners transported to Siberia out of one body of 160 only 41 arrived at Perm. The 31st ult. was the 50th anniversary of the entrance of the Russian troops into Paris. On the 30th the military men, of all ranks, who, served in the Campaign of 1814, were regaled at a banquet, laid out in the Alexander Hall, at the Palace and the Emperor, from the portrait gal- lery, drank the health of the veterans. On the 31st there was a grand military display at St. Petersburg, and a Concert in the evening at the Great Theatre for the benefit of the Invalids. It is announced that the Portfolio for Foreign Affairs, at Copenhagen, during the absence of M. de Quaade, will be taken by Bishop Monrad the President of the Council. On Monday, the Committee of the Federal Diet reported to that body in favour of sending a representative to the London Conference. The vote was ordered to be taken on the 14th. That day a rescript of the Civil Commissioners of the Duchies was issued at Flensburg, prohibiting all public officers in Schleswig, on paiu of immediate dismissal, from affixing their signatures to any resolutions or ad- dresses having reference to the Conference. The semi-official Norde Dulsche Altgemeine Zei- tunif, of Berlin, of the 8th inst.. defends the bombardment of Sonderberg, against the cen- sures of the English Press, which describe it as an open town. The Zeituvg says the facts are, that it was used by the Danes as a fortified place, and it was treated accordingly. But the charge is, that it was bombarded without notice a practise never resorted to by civitised nations in the pre- sent day, and to this charge no reply has been made. On the 8th, the Prussiansannounced from their head quarters, at Gravenstein, that their second parallel before Duppel was completely finished. with the loss of only 7 men wounded. The gar rison had also executed a second liue of defence behind the bastions, Nos. 1 and 2, which shel- tered the men from the projectiles. The Minister of War had inspected the works, and had declared himself, on his return to Copenhagen, well satis- with their condition and he had full confidence m the solidity of the troops, 17,000 in number, forming the aariigon The bombardment both of Duppel and onderburg has been continued daily • and on Saturday, the Prussians • had extend.J their trenches to within 500 paces of the Danish left wing, and occupied them with a force of one thousand men. Another parallel was traced be- fore Duppel on Sunday night. The Danes madt a sortie, but were repulsed. Last week, in the afterpart of it, the operations of the besiegers were greatly impeded by heavy rains' b t their elegrams from Gravenstein, this ¿ek u »tate, that several Danish battens had been ?en?d. and one from Flensburg asserts, that the Da were preparing to evacuate the fortress. The effect of the bombardment of Sonderburg, hhe been to destroy more than half the town. Tie Danish head-quarters arc removed to Likhbo). The discontent in the Austrian Empire bag tended to Dalmatia. On the 8th, the Dietet. that Province was dissolved, on account of the party intrigue, and attacks on the Government, which had occurred. t The King of Holland is paying his annual visit to Amsterdam; and has been received, byall classes of his subjects with the greatest enthusi. Mill. Prince Napoleon is also travelling in the Netherlands, and has had an audience of the King. e K On Monday, the Committee on the Frenc h budget made their report. It announces an ill? crease of 1,5M,OOO f. in the revenue and tl' Committee state their belief, that the bud Ie will be balanced without any increase of the get isting amount of deficit. B.ittoaMectthis, i:t. necessary that peace should be maintained a I)' 1 ..Ll. ..I.1;£> .( confidence is expresseu, .IIO ow= U1 the Government is likely to attain that end. It appears that from the time the Arc ulu^ Maximilian left Paris, to the middle of last week, difficulties existed between his highness and hi, brother, the Emperor of Austria, as to his accept- ance of the Mexican throne, which some person, began to think, would never be adjusted. They arose out of the demand made upon him to gire up his agnate, or hereditary rights a demand which both the Archduke and the Archduchess re- sisted. All, however, appears to have been ar. ranged for, on Sunday, the Archduke received the lDeputation at Miramar and announced hi, belief that the resolution of the notables had been accepted, by an over-ruling Inajority of the in- habitants of the country, thus fulhllmgone of the conditions he stipulated 0,1 the 3rd of Oct. The second—a guarantee of the independence and welfare of the country,—had been secured by the Emperor Napoleon therefore, said his Highness, I now solemnly declare my acceptance of the crown you have offered me." He was to have left for Mexico on Monday but on that day he was confiued to his bed by fever, and his depar- ture was postponed. Ambassadors were sent to I Vienna, Rome, and Paris and various appoint- ments are announced as being made by the Em- peror of Mexico." The Emperor of Austria has authorised the raising of a corps of 0000 volun- teers, and one of 300 sailors, for Mexico. The officers, 260 in number, are to be selected from the Austrian army, and up to the 9th instant, 200 had offered themselves. A correspondent, writing from Rome, on the 2nd irst., says, "the ex-King of Naples, and his brother, the Count of Trani, reside in the Pa. Ilazzo Farnese and the ex-Queen and the Coun. I tess in Albano. It is a domestic and private ar. rangement, with which the world has nothingtodo; and I draw a veil over it. The ex-Queen is in ex. tremely delicate health." The ex-King's revenue amounts to only 3000 ducats a month, something less than C600; but he affects all the honors and style of royaltv holds his courts, and confers decorations. The Italian Government has offer- ed him two million francs (t'80,000) per annum, on condition that he leaves Rome, and retires in. to private life; but the offer was refused.—The Pontifical Government is about to contract another loan of 40,000,000f ( £ 1,600,000). The Opilliolle, of Turin, of the llth, intimates, that the Italian Government will not recognise these loans. Therefore, if Rome should be united to the Ita- lian kingdom, all who now place their money at the disposal of the 'Pope's ministers will lose it. The Epoca, of Madrid, of the 7th inst. A number of Mazzinians have left the principal towns of Italy, to excite revolutions in Spain and Portugal. Their rendezvous is Gibraltar." The new Greek ministers, in an address to the nation, dated the 30th ult. state, that "the coun- try has desired, and still desires, the sincere appli- cation of the laws, the developement of national liberty, aad the security of the constitutional throne, under the safeguard of which, it has al- ways desired to place its fortunes, its present, and its future." For themselves, the ministers intend to devote their efforts to the restoration of social order to the re-establishment of order in the army, and the organization of the National Guard the prosecution of the strictest economy; and the faithful and loyal application of the laws. They will, also, show unlimited respect for consti- tutional liberties, and display the utmost impar- tiality in the choice of officials. -This ministry resigned last week, but withdrew their resigna- tions. This week, disturbances between the Ca- tholics and Greeks at Syra, and the mutiny of some troops at Patias are announced. The poor young King appears to have embarked upon a sea of trouble. The French Pays informs us, on the authority of its correspondents, that the movements of the Austrian, Russian, and Turkish troops, continued in, and on the borders of, the Danubian Princi- palities, on a large scale. "It i" asserted," says the editor, "that a corps of 60,000 Turks has been concentrated between Shumla and Widden. In presence of these demonstrations, Prince Couza has ordered 300 Poles, who were to have joined the insurrection, to be sent into the inte- rior of the country." Advices to the 19th of March, from Charleston, received at new York, state that the Confederates had mounted six rifled guus in casemates, at Fort Sumter, bearing on the Channel and complet- ed another iron-clad in the harbour. General Beauregard had been appointed to. the army of the South-West, and was succeeded at Charleston, by Gen. D. H. Hill. In Tennessee, the Confederate cavalry, 7000 strong, under Gen. Forest, had advanced to Obian River, driving in the Federal pickets, north of Union city. The Federals had left Columbus, to oppose Forrest, who was repulsed at Paducah, and to retreat towards Columbus. The Confede- rates were in force at Dalton, and Longstreet had advanced into Georgia. The Federal expedition which left Vicksburg, had captured Fort de Hus- sy on the Red River, taking 11 guns, and 300 prisoners. On the 15th of March they occupied Alexandria on that river, without opposition -General Grant arrived at the head-quarters of the Federal army on the Potomac, on the 24th ult., and was engaged in re-organizing that force. It was expected he would appoint M'Clellan and Fremont to commands. The President Lincoln had published an amnesty notapplying, however, to any military, naval, or civil officials. Files of Calcutta papers, to the 5th, and of Bombay papers to the 14th of March, have been received. The report brought by the mail some weeks back, that Sir Hugh Rose was about to resign, has not been confirmed. He was at Mur- ree on the 26th of February, and was shortly to proceed alone to Cashmere. The Governor of Bombay was at the Presidency, but was expected to proceed to Mahableshwar on the arrival of Lady Frere, and the head-quarters of the Bombay army were about to be removed there. The Secretary of State for India has sanctioned the appointment of an Assistant Adjutant-General at those head- quarters. There were rumours of differences with the Nawab of Nepaul, owing to the seizure of two Patwarrees, in the district of Durbungah, by the Nepaulese, and also of an intended attack of the Hindostanees, in Bhowanee, Shekhawattee Terri- tory. Measures were being taken still further to extend railways in India, and to connect the great Indian Peninsular Line more immediately with Bombay. There had been another conflagration on that railway, near Munwar, by which live loaded waggons were burnt. The Times of Ititila, of the 14th ult., says "the season continues highly favourable, and the crops are, everywhere, healthy and promising." There is intelligence from Madagascar to the 23rd of Feb. The report that Radama lived was still prevalent, and it was asserted that he would soon re-appear.
