An official announcement has been received in the Isle of
Man, that the Queen will visit that island on the 13th instant.
Windsor, Friday evening.—No little excitement has been caused in the town during the last two or three days, in consequence of a rumour, which has been pretty industriously circulated, that Lord John Hay would retire from the repre- sentation of the borough (by accepting the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds) for the purpose of creating a vacancy for the President of the Board of Control, who recently lost his election for Nottingham. The fact of Sir John Cam Hob- house having married a sister of Lord John Hay, may have in some measure given rise to the rumour, which at present appears to rest upon a very slight foundation. The names of Mr. Hawes, General Fox, and Mr. Macaulay, have also been mentioned in connexion with the reported retirement of Lord John Hay. It may be mentioned, however, that under no circumstances can another election take place for the borough until after the meeting of the new Parliament.—Letter in the Times.
We understand that Lord George Bentinck sent a subscription of one hundred pounds to the committee for securing the election of Mr. Bernal Osborne for Mid- dlesex. The contribution was respectfully, but we think very properly, declined. —Morning Chronicle.
The late Duke of Northumberland's personal and funded property, of which he died possessed within the province of Canterbury alone, has been valued at 160,0001.; and the executors have paid to the Stamp-office the duty of 2,1001. on the probate.
