The Hereditary Grand Duke of Russia, with Prince William Henry
of the Netherlands, arrived at 3livart's Hotel yesterday afternoon. They were brought to Deptford from Rotterdam in a Dutch Govern- ment steam-boat, and accompanied by a splendid suite. Lord Mel- bourne, Lord Normanby, and several other Ministers, visited them at Mivart's. So ends the inference of Russian hostility from the post- ponement of the visit of the Czarowitch.
A great sensation was created at the Temple Church on Sunday last, by the appearance of Lord Melbourne among the hearers of Dr. Ben- son I Since the Queen in the earlier days of her reign expressed sur- prise at never seeing Lord Melbourne at church, his Lordship, who after that attended for two or three Sundays, had relapsed into his former habit of absenting himself altogether from public worship. We fear that curiosity, not conviction, was the cause of Lord Melbourne's con- duct on Sunday.—Northempfon Herald. [We had always understood that Lord Melbourne, like most elderly gentlemen of his habits, had a theological turn.]—Times. In the case of Sir Henry Halford and the Ike Mr. Lockley, the re- puted first physician of his age was compelled (reluctantly enough) by the public to give an explanation of the transaction. Does Sir James. Clark imagine by delay he can do more than defer the hour? Sir James may be a great man, but what the public have a right to demank the public very seldom fail in obtaining.—Morning Post.
Mr. Henry Fitzroy, M.P. for Lewes and Lord Southampton's brother; was married on Monday to a daughter of the late Mr. Rothschild. In reference to this marriage, the Morning Post says- " It is rumoured that the young lady, who has been for some years one of the distinguished belles of fashionable society, had long entertained for her bride- groom an attachment to which her relations had an invincible objection, founded on the difference of creed. It is likewise said that the fair lady, a short time since, waited upon a venerable Prelate to consult him on the change of her faiths; and that his Grace having objected to a change of religion grounded on an offaire de caw, the fimir Jewess convinced him that from her earliest youth she had been longing for the hour when she might adopt Christianity. The fortune of the young bride and proselyte is said to be a hundred and fifty thousand pounds."
The decease of the eccentric Mr. Cressett Pelham is now placed be- yond a doubt. A letter arrived at Shrewsbury on Monday, announ- cing Mr. Pelham's death, and desiring to know his heirs. Mr. Cressett Pelham had been M.P. for the county of Salop and also for the bo- rough of Shrewsbury. His death took place in India.
