through the different schools of the Exhibition. His 

 Majesty remained two hours inspecting the numerous 

 works of art in the galleries, and then proceeded to 

 honour Lord Francis Egerton with a visit, at his residence 

 in Belgrave-square. The Kin* returned to Buckingham 

 Palace, and lunched with the Queen and Prince Albert, 

 after which he paid visits to the Duchess of Gloucester, 

 the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Duke of 

 Wellington, the Duke of Devonshire, the Karl and 

 Countess Delawarr, the Earl of Wilton, the Countess of 

 Mansfield, the E-trl of Aberdeen, and Sir Robert and 

 Lady Peel, to take leave previous to his departure from 

 town. H.ll.H. the Duke of Cambridge visited the King 

 on his Majesty's return to Buckingham Palace. On 

 Thursday morning his Majesty tookleave of the Queen and 

 Prince Albert, and left town for Hatfield House, Herts, to 

 honour the Marquess of Salisbury with a visit ; after 

 which it is his Majesty's intention to make a tour in 



Wales and Scotland. „ 



The Crown Prince of Denmark.— His Royal 

 Highness arrived at Inverness on Wednesday week, by 

 the Glasgow steamer, unexpected even to his own 

 officers and suite, who did not look for his appearance 

 till the next week. No preparations were therefore made 

 for his reception ; but as soon as it was known that his 

 Royal Highness was in the town, Provost Sutherland 

 waited upon Count Reventlow, and the Captain of the 

 Danish frigate, now at Cromarty, and ascertained that, 

 although the Prince had arranged to embark on Thursday 

 for the Faroe Isles, he was still most anxious, if possible, 

 to visit the field of the Battle of Culloden. It was 

 therefore arranged that the magistrates should accom- 

 pany his Royal Highness and suite to Culloden Moor on 

 Thursday forenoon, which they did with a respectable 

 cavalcade, which was joined on the ground by Mr. Forbes, 

 of Culloden, and Mr. M 4 Intosh, of Raigmore, the pro- 

 prietors of the soil. Culloden's piper was also in 

 attendance, and pointed out the positions of the 

 eontending armies on the loth April, 171b'; while 

 on the moor, Mr. Forbes, of Culloden, presented his 

 Royal Highness with same relics of the field, consisting 

 of a cannon ball, and a finely-ornamented barrel of a 

 pistol, with which the prince expressed himself highly 

 gratified. After minutely inspecting the graves of those 

 who fell, and the disposition of the battle, his Royal 

 Highness inspected the sepulchral and religious monu- 

 ments of Clava (whether Danish or Druidical is uncer- 

 tain), under the guidance of Mr. Anderson, secretary of 

 the Northern Institution for the promotion of Science 

 and Literature. In these remaius his Royal Highness 

 expressed himself peculiarly interested, especially from 

 their resemblance to similar antiquities in his own coun- 

 try ; and he was also mucn delighted with the magni- 

 ficent panorama of the Highland mountains of Inverness 

 and Ross-shire, presented from the elevated ridge above 

 Culloden. The Prince then embarked for the Faroe 

 Islands, and Count Reventlow, the Danish Minister, 

 returned to town. „ During his Royal Highness's stay 

 in Glasgow, it was resolved by four of the Baptist 

 churches in the city, to present a respectful memorial, to 

 the Prince, soliciting his influence on behalf of their 

 brethren in Denmark, who are at present suffering perse- 

 cution, and some of them imprisoment, for their religious 

 opinions. The petition was written in French and En- 

 glish, and transmitted to the Prince by the Lord Provost. 



The Deputation from Dublin On Wednesday, the 



Right Hon. H. O'Brien, Lord Mayor of Dublin, accom- 

 panied by his chaplain, the Very Rev. Dr. O'Conneil, 

 Aldermen Egan, Keshan, Butler, and Gardiner ; Town 

 Councillors J. Dunn, Michael Staunton, John Reilley, 

 John M'Gloin, C. P. Gaven, R. White, M. Tobin, J. L. 

 Arabin, W. Fitzpatrick, Esqrs.; with the lord mayor's 

 secretary, high constable, nance-bearer, city marshal, and 

 sword-bearer, composing a deputation of the Corporation 

 of Dublin, presented an address to the Queen, at Buck- 

 ingham Palace, on the subject of Mr. O'Connell's impri- 

 sonment. The substance of this address was very nearly 

 the same as the petition presented on the same day to 

 the House of Commons, the heads of which are given in 

 our Parliamentary Report. The Queen was attended by 

 the Duke of Wellington, Sir R. Peel, Lord Stanley, Sir 

 J. Graham, all the principal Officers of State, and of the 

 Household. The deputation having been conducted to 

 the foot of the throne, the Lord Mayor read the address; 

 his Lordship then advanced, and kneeling before the 

 Queen, presented it to her Majesty. The Queen returned 

 the following answer to the address : — "I thank you for 

 your renewed assurances of loyalty to my person and 

 crown. 1 have announced to you my fixed determination 

 to uphold the law, and to respect the decisions of my 

 courts, to which the administration of justice is confided, 

 errors have occurred in the proceedings of t!ie courts, 

 they are open to review, and will be rectified by the su- 

 preme tribunal of appeal. The faithful execution of the 

 law is regarded by me as the surest safeguard of the rights 

 and liberties of my people." 'ihe seconder of the addre>a 

 had then the honour of being presented to her Majesty, 

 and the senior alderman had also the honour to kias 

 hands. The Lord Mayor and the deputation then retired 

 from the presence of the Soverei . and proceeded to the 

 liouse of Commons, where they presented their petition 

 to that branch of the Legislature. 



Official Appointments. — The Queen has been pleased 

 to appoint George Tradescant Lay, Esq., to be Her 

 Majesty's Consul at Amoy, in China ; Rutherford Al- 

 cock, Esq., to be Her Majesty's Consul at Foo-chow-foo, 

 in China; Charles Edward Keith Kortwright, Esq., to 

 be Her Majesty's Consul at Carthagena, in the Republic 

 of New Granada ; and John William Perry Farren, Esq., 

 to be Her Majesty's Consul to the Philippine Islands. 



Mr. Serjeant Goulburn h*8 been appointed a Commis- 

 sioner of the Court or Bankruptcy, In the room of the 



late J. H. Merivale, Esq,

 cil have been published, which were passed OH the 23d

 under-Lyne, Bolton -le- Moor, and Bury, Lancashire;

France. — Our accounts from Paris announce the ar- 

 rival at Marseilles last week of the Charlemagne packet 

 from Algiers, which port she left on the 10th, bringing a 

 confirmation of the affair with the troops of Morocco, 

 with the addition that the Emperor, on hearing the check 

 his troops had met with, disavowed the conduct of their 

 commander, and that at Algiers this affair was considered 

 settled. Marshal Bugeaud had arrived at Oran, on his 

 way to the camp of General Lamoriciere. The Prince 

 de Joinville left Paris on Monday, to take the command 

 of his squadron, having been unexpectedly delayed in ac- 

 cordance with orders from the Government. This delay 

 had given rise to many conjectures, among which it was 

 rumoured that a quarrel had taken place between the 

 Prince and the Ministry, in consequence of H.R.H. re- 

 fusing to take the command if tied up by instructions, 

 and that the Ministry at length had yielded to his wishes 

 and given him unconditional authority. The Journal 

 des Debuts contains an article upon the quarrel between 

 France and Morocco, which is attributed to the pen 

 of M. Guizot. This article states that " France has 

 no idea of territorial aggrandisement, no thought of 

 conquest," and that, if forced to take possession 

 of Morocco, "she would have no wish to retain 

 it." It also states that " the space in Africa which she 

 occupies, and will always occupy, is sufficient for her, 

 and that she does not wish to add an inch to her posses- 

 sions." — Au address to Mr. O'Conneil from the Catholics 

 of France, written by M. de Montalembert, has been got 

 up in Paris, expressing sympathy with him in his 

 imprisonment. The Ministerial Dibats disapproves of 

 this proceeding, and publishes extracts from Mr. O'Con- 

 nell's speeches in November and January last, in which 

 he said that Louis-Philippe had broken his promise to 

 the French nation to give them the three points of the 

 the charter — liberty of education, liberty of the press, 

 and trial by jury ; and declared that if Henry V. would 

 only promise to give a charter, there would be an Irish 

 brigade ready to assist him in 24 hours. The Debats 

 says : — " All comment is unnecessary, until such time as 

 Mr. O'Conneil comes with his Irish brigade to re-establish 

 the Duke of Bordeaux on the throne, and to drive away 

 the monsters who now compose the University of 

 France. It is but right that the brigade of French 

 Catholics should go, with M. de Montalembert at their 

 head, to felicitate Mr. O'Conneil in his prison." 

 — On Monday an animated discussion took place 

 in the bureaux of the Chamber of Deputies on the 

 subject of the Secondary Instruction Bill, the Ministry 

 having determined, contrary to general expectation, to 

 carry it into a law during the present session. The 

 bureaux accordingly met to elect the members of the 

 committee on the Bill, and the result has been a serious 

 check both to the Government and the Church. Of nine 

 members chosen upon the committee, two only are in 

 favour of the Ministerial Bill. The other seven are all 

 opposed to the Bill, as passed by the Chamber of Peers, 

 and in favour of the University privileges. All the 

 members of the committee are members of the Opposi- 

 tion, with the exception of two, and even these belong 

 rather to the party of M. Mole. It is expected that M. 

 Thiers will be the member entrusted with the drawing 

 up of the report of the committee, which, in that case, 

 may be expected to be very hostile to the Ministry. — 

 The Chamber has commenced the debate on the Rail- 

 way Bills. It is thought probable that all the Bills will 

 ultimately be adopted as proposed by Government, 

 but not without opposition. If this expectation be 

 correct, all the railways will be given to com- 

 panies, with the exception of that from Paris to 

 the Belgian frontier, which is to be executed by the state. 

 It is not expected that the Chamber will pass more than 

 three of the Bills during the present session.— A stirring 

 topic with the journals is a quarrel between Baron 

 Seguier, President df the Cour Royale of Paris, and the 

 members of the bar. The baron having made some re- 

 marks in court which the avocats deemed offensive to 

 their profession, the latter assembled under the pre- 

 sidency of their ba'onnier and council, and unanimously 

 addressed the president in a letter, demanding a public 

 retractation of his remarks. Several conferences have 

 taken place between the Procureur-General, the Judges 

 of the Cour Royale, and the Batonnier of the Order of 

 Advocates, with the hope of bringing about a reconcilia- 

 tion, but at present without effect. — The King, Queeu, 

 and Royal Family, dressed in deep mourning for the Due 

 d'AngouUune, arrived at the Tuileries from Neuilly on 

 Monday. His Majesty, alter transacting business with 

 some of his ministers, proceeded to the Champs Elysees, 

 and visited for the sixth time the products of the national 

 industry. — The arrival of the Danae, French frigate, at 

 Brest, puts an end to an idle story which is reported in a 



Barbadoes paper, received last week, that the DublinTof 

 50 guns, Captain Tucker, had been sunk, with her 

 colours flying, by three French frigates, for having 

 given protection to Queen Pomare, who had takea 

 refuge on board her. The Danae was one of the 

 frigates at Tahiti, and she mentions nothing of such 

 an event. The French garrison at the Marquesas was 

 in distress for clothes and money, having had no pay 

 for fifteen months, and nothing but salt provisions. 

 Spain. — Our accounts from Madrid are of the 10ih 

 inst. M. Viluma having entered on the functions of 

 Minister for Foreign Affairs since the 6th, a Royal de- 

 cree bearing that date relieved M. Mon from the tem- 

 porary direction of that department. The conferences 

 between the Government creditors and the Committee 

 of Finance still continued, but had as yet been produc- 

 tive of no definitive result. The former consented to 

 receive the Three per Cent. Stock offered to them in 

 payment of their claims ; but the Minister wished to 

 issue it at 40, whilst they refused to accept it above 30. 

 A letter from Ceuta of the 1st inst. states that the Pa- 

 chas and military chiefs of Morocco were actively 

 engaged in making warlike preparations, but that the 

 population of Tetuan, Angora, and Tangiers were greatly 

 opposed to war. Ceuta had assumed an imposing atti- 

 tude since the arrival of the new CommanuYr General, 

 and the Spanish squadron, consisting of a frigate, a 

 corvette, two brigs, a steamer and two packets were 

 before Tangiers. Letters from Barcelona state that with 

 the exception of the scorbutic affection under which 

 Queen Isabella suffers, her general health is good. The 

 dropsical tendency which alarmed her Majesty's physi- 

 cians has disappeared at Barcelona ; but her hands, 

 forehead, and chin, have become covered with decided 

 tetters. The body is also covered with eruptions which 

 are attributed to the. heat and change of climate. Her 

 Majesty sleeps well and is stout. The two Queens were 

 still at Barcelona on the 8th, but an early day was 

 expected to be fixed for their departure to Caldas, where 

 certain alterations and preparations have been made in 

 the bathing materials of that place. 



Germany. — Accounts from Berlin state that serious 

 disturbances have taken place among the workmen in the 

 mines and manufactories of Silesia. The Prussian 

 Gazette states that they are completely put down ; but 

 later accounts assert that similar disturbances, and more 

 serious in character, had broken out at Breslau. The 

 disorders are in no way connected with politics, being a 

 mere quarrel between the workmen and their masters on 

 the subject of wages. The disorders broke out in Altfried- 

 land in the circle of Waldeuburg on the 7th inst. Troops 

 of labourers attacked the house of one of the partners in 

 a manufactory that had been destroyed at Peterwalden. 

 They pillaged and destroyed eveiy thing ; they carried oft 

 money, goods, and machinery. However, the authorities 

 succeeded in rearing order without having recourse to 

 the Military force. At Leutmandorff in Schweidmtz, 

 there was also a turn-out, but the mob was dispersed by 

 the civil authorities.— Tbe Emperor of Russia arrived at 

 Munster on the 12th, and after changing horses, con- 

 tinued his journey for Brunswick. 



Italy.-A Paris paper contains the remarkable 

 announcement that the treasure of the sanctuary oj 

 Loretohas been stolen, and that the event has thrown 

 the Court of Rome into consternation. At the time in 

 French conquered Italy, the Pontifical Government re- 

 moved to Rome the Madonna's rich coffer, in order* 

 shelter it from the covetousness of the conqueror • 

 Since the restoration it has been conveyed bscicn 

 Loreto, and new offerings had increased its richness 

 Count Rocchi, Receiver-General of the fov nee ot 

 Ancona, to whose custody the coffer of Loreto 

 entrusted, has embarked in an Austrian steame i 

 ceedingto Trieste, and carried off the coofente ■* 

 the coffers, the keys of which he had in his £■££.
