MISCILL 1 NEOV & The Court . — -The King of the Belgians , accompanied by the Count of Flandeis and the ; Princess Charlotte , left the Bricklayer's-arms Station in a special train for Dover on Wednesday . They were accompanied to the ¦ state carriage by Prince Albert . — The Prince and * Pr 1 hcBSs ^ o *^ rja 93 ia , the Princess Louise , and a numerous suite , arrived at DoveTTJir ^** uwda 3 j on a visit to-the Queen . •¦ .

The Lord Mayor was favonrable to the general principle of early closing ,-but conceived that it would be impossible to lay down , any ; arbitrary rule in this particular case . He was aware that great good had been accomplished by the closing of wholesale houses and factories at two o ' clock ; but it would be very difficult to bring about an entire cessation of business at that hour . : Probably , a somewhat later hour—four or five o ' clock —might be adopted in the retail branches of trade . The bankers ( added his Lordship ) are-at present subject to a . great pressure of business on . Saturdays , and ,, though the establishments ! are closed at four a ' olock , ; ther < jlerk « often remain considerably later . With respect to Guildhall , probably three o ' clock might prove to be a more convenient hour . ' '

Xt appears that a steamboat was proceeding up the river , when , it passed a small sailing-boat , very heavily laden . Fourteen persons were . } i » the boat ( men , women , and children )* and the gunwale was within a very short distance of the water . The swell caused by the action of the ; puddles of the steamboat broke over the bowa of the Bailipg-Loat to ; such an . extent that the wonien pf the party became alarmed , and , rising quickly , upset the vessel ;! All were instantly sulnnerged . One of the number , swam , ashore , and- < Jtx others were picked up by William Cowper , an Old , scullerman who plies between Redhcugb . and Elswiak-qoay , and . who witnessed tho accident from the shore ; but seven were borne away and
drowned . Tub Capb of Good Hope . —The Capo Assembly , in a committee of the whole Houbc , have approved eleven resolutions , the object of which is to facilitate the bringing into the colony of emigrants , by granting sums « f Government money for that purpose .

of tetanic symptoms arising from antimonj ' . patients -were infants , the one fourteen , tho other eight months old . Alluding to the Rugoley coso , Dr . Elliotson remarks : — " Palpner ' s course appears to have bcea simple enough—to attom . pt to murder Cooke by antimony , as Iiq probably had murdered hia other victims , and , not succeeding . so . soon as he anxiously deaired , to resort at tho laBt moment to ¦ trychnine , with which elm ho , failed , till on the Tuesday night ho gave it again . : The writer says that antimony was , tho loaat likely of
any poison to opccite suspicion . , Thk Cai ^ nk Emcotiom . —Tho Earl of Shelburne having retired from tho representation of Calne , in conaoqueaco of , the Qovommont offorinK him tbo office of Und « r- ^ cr « t « ry , for Foreign Affairs , has addressed » let , tor 49 Jjifl , cpnaUtuonts , informing them of tha ^ ct , 04 ( blinking tf » em for Jl » o > r p «» t confidence . » ir

A Case for Execdtobs . —Vice-CbancellorKittdersIey has given judgment in a case which is interesting-to executors . A lady named Wilks , as " administratrix : withr the will annexed of the testator in tbe cause , having sold a portion of the estate to the amount . of 1 , 4007 ., received that sum , ' and , there" being no order to deal with the money , either by paying it into court or otherwise , she paid it into the bank of Messrs ' Strahan , Paul , and Co ., and the money had been' virtually lost , an extremely small dividend having sb yet '' only been declared . ' The question was , whether she was liable for such loss . His Honour was of opinion that Mrs . Wilks was not liable , as it did not appear that there was any order , on the part of the legatees , to pay the money into court . ¦ -- - -- -
HeaxtS oP Lonjxxn . —In the week that ended last Saturday , the deaths of 1027 persons were registered in London . In the corresponding weeks of the ten years 1846-55 , the average number was 974 , which , for Comparison with last week ' s deaths , should be raised by a tenth part for increase of population , in which case It becomes 1071 .
