Lady Sarah Villiers, the daughter of Lady Jersey, has been selected by her Majesty as one of the Ladies in Waiting at the ceremony of her marriage. Mr. Bradshaw, of Canterbury notoriety, is, we understand. on a visit at Middleton, the seat of her Ladyship, with several other distinguished fashionables.—Globe.

Lord Torrington and the Honourable Colonel Grey arrived at Dover on Tuesday evening, with three of her Majesty's carriages, and sailed for Ostemi, to convey Prince Albert to this country. They were waited upon by Captain Boteler, R.N., of' the Packet Establishment, and left the harbour under his directions.

We Itave reason to believe that her Majesty intends to confer upon Prince Albert the Order of the Garter. Mr. Bridge, of Ludgate has just completed, by her Majesty's direction, a splendid garter, cor- responding with the costume of the order. The garter is of' purple velvet ; the motto of the order, the border, and the buckle, are composed of diamonds, set in 11w most exquisite style, and forming altogether an ornament of' the most brilliant and unique dcseription.—Standurd.

We understand that the Queen's wedding.drcss will exhibit a superb specimen of British skill, which will fairly rival the production of. any fbreign ztrtists: the trimming of the gowe, which is of Houiton lace, will zdone cost 1,000/.
