The State prosecutions in Ireland may be said to nave 

 fairly commenced, and the preliminary proceedings in the 

 arrangement of the special jury will be read with interest. 

 On Friday the names of the panel were reduced to 24, 

 each party having a right to object to 12 out of 

 the 18 names previously selected. From this reduced 

 list the first 12 persons who answer to their names on 

 Monday will constitute the jury to try Mr. O'Connell and 

 his fellow-traversers. Considerable excitement has been 

 caused in Dublin by the announcement that Government, 

 in the exercise of their right of rejection, have struck off 

 the names of every Roman Catholic on the list ; and a 

 public meeting has been convened by the leading Catho- 

 lics in Ireland to petition her Majesty on the subject. It 

 is alleged, however, on the part of the Government, that 

 every Catholic excluded was a known Repealer, and was 

 therefore considered to be disqualified to act as a juror on 

 the trials. Various rumours have been current during 

 the week respecting the probable abandonment of the 

 prosecutions, but the extensive preparations already made 

 appear to leave little doubt that they will commence, as 

 originally announced, on Monday next. 



From France we have the particulars of the debate on the 

 Address of the Chamber of Peers in answer to the King's 

 Speech. The Address contains a complimentary allusion 

 to this country, but in other respects is little more than 

 an echo of the speech. The recent proceedings of the 

 Ducde Bordeaux in London was the subject of an ani- 

 mated conversation, but no direct allusion was made to 



them in the 

 promulgated a 



throughout the -^.-o 



Queen Christina from Spain, and has been considered by all 

 subsequent Ministers too perilous to be even submitted to 

 the Corte?. The present Cabinet, however, have enacted 

 it by royal decree, without consulting either the legis- 

 lature or the country ; and such is the condition of the 

 country that it has hitherto been received without any 

 marked expression of public feeling.— From Portugal we 

 have the Queen's Speech on opening the Cortes, and 

 from Greece we have the particulars of the Address 

 to the Throne, adopted by the National Assembly 

 by a majority of 168. — From Canada we learrv 

 that the Governor -General intends to form a provisional- 

 and temporary council until more permanent arrange- 

 ments can be made, and that the late Ministers have 

 returned to their homes, virtually relieved of the seals of 

 office. The accounts from the United States are merely 

 commercial, and the proceedings of Congress have hithertq 

 been confined to matters of domestic interest, 



Court. — An accident, which was happily attended with 

 no serious result, occurred to Her Majesty on Friday 

 morning in the vicinity of Horton, near Datchet. The 

 Queen, attended by the Marchioness of Douro, proceeded" 

 to the meeting of Prince Albert's harriers at Horton, in 

 an open pony-phaeton and pair, driven by a postillion, who* 

 taking too short a turn in entering the road near the Five 

 Bells, the near wheel of the carriage, from the rottenness 

 of the side of the road (occasioned by the late frost and 

 rapid thaw), sank into the ditch, throwing the carriage 

 against the hedge ; the horse upon which the postillion 

 was riding sinking in from the same cause. Her Majesty 

 and the Marchioness of Douro were speedily rescued from 

 their perilous position by Colonel Arbuthnot, who was in 

 attendance on horseback. A small pony-carriage belong- 

 ing to Mr. Holderness of Horton, passing by at the 

 | moment, the use of it to Her Majesty was immediately 

 offered by the lady who was driving, and accepted by the 

 Queen, who was driven back to the Castle by Colonel 

 Arbuthnot. The hounds being near the spot, a messenger 

 was dispatched to Prince Albert, who accompanied Her 

 Majesty on her return on horseback.— On Tuesday, the 

 Queen and Prince, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, 

 and ihe PrinSsf Royal, left Windsor for Claremont, 

 where the Court will remain for about a week. On Wed- 

 nesday and Thursday the Prince went out shooting in the 

 grounds and preserves. The Royal suite at Claremont 

 consists of Earl Rivers the Lord in Waiting, the Mar- 

 chioness of Douro Lady in Waiting, Colonel Arbuthnot 

 and Sir E. Bowater Equerries in Waiting, Mr. G. Et- 

 Anson and the Hon. C. A. Murray. 



The Ministry.— A Cabinet Council was held on Mon- 

 day which was attended by all the Ministers except ths 

 Duke of Buccleugh and Mr. Gladstone, who had not then 

 returned to town. Another Council was held on Thurs- 

 day, which was attended by the whole Cabinet. The 

 Earl of Aberdeen gave the first Cabinet dinner for the 

 season on Wednesday. Sir Robert Peel has addresied a 

 circular to the Conservative members of the House of 

 Commons, stating that public business of importance will 

 be proceeded with at the opening of Parliament, and re- 

 questing their attendance on the 1st February. 



The Due de Bordeaux.— On leaving Devonshire on 

 the 3rd inst. his Royal Highness visited Lulworth Castle 

 and other favourite spots he had been accustomed to visit 

 when last in England. He proceeded thence to dine at 

 Upton House, the seat of Edward Daughty, Esq., who had 

 been honoured with a visit of the French Royal Family 

 on their landing at Poole in 1§30. On the 4th the Prince 

 left Upton passing through Poole in an open carriage ; 

 and the inhabitants in recollection of his landing at that 

 port in his first exile received him with hearty cheers. 

 The Prince went from thence to Canford House, the seat 

 of Lord de Mauley, and then visited the convent of 

 Trappestines at Stapehill, continuing his route to Ports- 

 mouth through the New Forest. On Saturday evening he 

 arrived at Brighton, and dined on that day with the Duke 

 and Duchess of Somerset. On Sunday he attended high 

 mass at the Roman Catholic Chapel, and afterwards 

 walked on the Chain-pier accompanied by the Earl and 

 Countess of Shrewsbury, and then took an hour's sail on 

 the sea. His Royal Highness left Brighton in the even- 

 ing by the last train for London. The Prince on Wednes- 

 day visited the dockyard at Deptford, and the Observatory 

 and Royal Hospital at Greenwich. He dined and slept 

 at Woolwich, and on Thursday inspected every depart- 

 ment of the Arsenal, returning to town in the evening. 



Death of Sir Hudson Lowe —This distinguished Officer 

 expired on Wednesday evening from the effects of a severe 

 attack of paralysis, from which he has lately been suffer- 

 ing The name of Sir Hudsori Lowe was at one time 

 familiar to the public as the officer to whom was entrusted 

 the custody of Napoleon at St. Helena. In the discharge 

 of his responsible duties, his conduct toward the fallen 



i 



Emperor was strongly censured, although as a military 

 officer in command obeying the orders of his superiors he 

 was merely the agent of others. It is understood that some 

 interesting documents, together with a Memoir drawn up 

 by Sir Hudson's own hand of the events connected with 

 his custody of Napoleon, are in possession of a friend, to 

 whom he entrusted them for publication, and that Lord 

 Bathurst's orders as to the treatment of the Emperor are 

 among them. Sir Hudson Lowe had served with the 

 Army in France, Portugal, Italy, Sicily, and the Ionian
