The Berlin correspondent of the Morning Chronicle, writing on Tuesday

last, says that the accounts from Munster of Prince Waldemar are much More fitvourable, and that his physicians consider the danger to be removed.

Last night's Gazette announces the appointment of Lieutenant-Colonel Ralph Carr Alderson, RE., to be Secretary and Registrar to the Chelsea Hospital Commissioners, in the room of Richard Neave, Esq., resigned.

Mr. Matthew Talbot Baines has issued an address to the electors of Hull, announcing that the office of Chief Poor-law Commissioner had been offered him spontaneously, and accepted; and he again asks the suffrages of the electors. There is no doubt that his appeal to them will be suc- cessful.

It is stated that the representation of Bury is likely to become vacant, through the illness of Mr. Walker. Mr. Roebuck has been invited to stand in the Liberal interest; and has shown himself to the electors on a prepara- tory but non-political occasion—that of a Mechanics Institution anniver- sary, which was held on Thursday evening. Mr. Roebuck spoke on the pleasures of science and the advantages of knowledge, and paid a high compliment to the Earl of Derby for his generosity in giving the site of a building for the Institution. It is rumoured in Bury that the Conserva- tives contemplate inviting some member of the Stanley family to stand for the borough, if Mr. Walker resign.
