Sir 0. Anson, Member for Lichfield, who, it will be remembered, held a confidential appointment in the Household of the late Duke of Kent, is appointed Treasurer of Prince Albert's Household. Captain Seymour, who has been for some time travelling with the Prince, is also to hold an appointment in his Royal Highness's Household.— Globe.

The following anecdote is in cireidation respecting the moderate ex- pectations as to an allowance entertained by the Prince-Consort of England previous to his marriage. Lord Melbourne having requested the Prince to name the stun he thought would be sufficient fur his privy purse, carefully reminding him that all expenses of the household would be defrayed by her Majesty, his Royal Highness repeatedly de- clined mentioning any sum ; but, on being strongly urged, at last ob- served that he thought 4,0001. a year would be ample.—Golignani's :Messenger.

Prince Albert bestowed a handsome present on Captains Hamilton and Southell, of the Packet-service, who commanded the Ariel packet, which conveyed him front Calais.

Louis Philippe has announced to the Queen of England the promo- tion of her consort to the rank of Grand Officer of the Legion of Ho- nour, the insignia of which are, it is stated, to be presented to him by M. Guizot, the new Ambassador of France at our Court. M. Guizot proposes, it is said, to bring with him the son of his friend the Duke de Broglie as an attaché of his embassy.—'Tines.

The Temps states that the Duke of Saxe Coburg-Gotha will come front London to Paris, where, it says, he is charged by his brotherdo arrange the dowry of the affianced bride of the Duke de Nemours. " The time of the marriage," adds that journal, "is not fixed, but it is supposed that it will take place towards the end of April. The young Princess is already preparing to set out to Gotha to take leave of her

family. Marshal Scull, more modest than Count does not make any boast of the negotiations which have brought about this union. The Minister of Foreign Affairs frankly avows that he had nothing to do with them. It is even said in his circle, that the uegotiation was carried on not by plenipotentiaries, but between Princesses, and that all the honour of them belongs to a sister of the Duke de Nemours and the Queen of Portugal. Thus the correspondence on this subject left the Tuileries discreetly, and passed by way of Lisbon to Gotha." The Queen has agreed to pay 1,5001. per annum, for six years, for the residence of Lord Ingestre, taken for the Dutchess of Kent.— Morning Post.

Mr. Speaker Lefevre expects Members who accept his invitations to appear in full dress.

Lord Brougham has made a flying visit to Paris, having staid here only a few hours on his way to his estate near Hieres, where he and Baron Stoltz divide the sovereignty over the peasants of his neighbour- hood.—Globe.

The Duke de Broglie has arrived at Paris. Will he assist the Ministry ? The present Ministers have probably thought of the com- bination which would give them a chance of living some months longer, and of falling with a degree of eclat; but the resistance of M. de Broglie is real, and his friends will not take much trouble to triumph over it.— Cour/ler Francais.

A disease, which has all the symptoms of influenza, prevails at this moment in Paris. The weather had. however, become very fine, and would, it was hoped, exercise a favourable influence on the malady. " The sanatory state of Vienna," says the Fmnyiul Journal, "is very afflicting. Typhus and gastric fevers are becoming more and more numerous, and are assuming an alarming character. The num- ber of sick is so great at Vienna, that there is no longer room for them all in the hospitals. Among the latest victims we may mention Mrs. Clay, wife of the United States Charge d'Affaires."

The King of the French has promoted Captain Barbier de Tinan to the Voltigeur, and lie is to command on the naval station at New- foundland. This is the officer who committed the outrage on the British flag at the Mauritius ; and the (.'es scree remarks that there ap- pears no desire to make reparation to the British Government for that outrage, in the promotion of Captain de Titian.
