microscope was necessary to discover it. In addition to 

 these cases a rumour was mentioned by Captain Bernal 

 in the course of the debate, and not contradicted, that 

 the Irish correspondence was habitually violated ; and a 

 general impression is abroad, that the practice has been 

 in operation for a considerable period, and has been ex- 

 tensively used by Sir James Graham since his appoint- 

 ment to the Home Office. In the course of the debate 

 Ministers defended themselves by relying on an Act of 

 Parliament which gives authority to the Secretary of State 

 to issue warrants for opening letters ; but they declined 

 to give any explanation of the circumstances which led 

 to the exercise of this power on the recent occasions. On 

 the other hand, the practice was denounced by men of 

 all parties as un-English and odious ; and among others, 

 by the Lord Chief Justice, who declared that it is not a 

 question of expediency or inexpediency, but a question 

 of right or wrong, and that a power so exercised as to 

 involve not merely concealment, but something very 

 like forgery, is so odious, that it cannot longer be 

 endured without modification. Mr. Duncombe's motion 

 for referring the petition to a select committee was nega- 

 tived on Monday by a majority of 44 ; but notice has since 

 been given that he will bring it forward again on Tuesday 

 night. In the Lords also the subject has merely 

 been postponed, Lord Radnor having given notice that he 

 will bring the matter again before the House in some 

 decided shape on Thursday next. — On Wednesday, 

 Mr. Villiers's motion on the Corn Laws, after two 

 nights' debate, was negatived by a majority of 204 ; and 

 on Thursday the Sugar Duties Bill was read a third time 

 and passed. The Bank Charter Bill has passed through 

 committee, after divisions on some of its clauses which 

 were decided in favour of Ministers. — The Irish State 

 Trials will next week be again a leading topic of interest, 

 the Lord Chancellor having directed the judges to be 

 summoned to attend in the House of Lords on Thurs- 

 day next, in order to hear the arguments in the pending 

 writs of error. 



From France we have accounts of another skirmish 

 with the troops of Morocco, and of the departure of the 

 Prince de Joinville, with a powerful squadron, for the 

 coast of that country. The Paris journals demand the 

 adoption of decisive measures to bring the affair to a 

 crisis, while the Ministry announce their anxiety to 

 avoid a war, and to submit their differences with the 

 Emperor to the mediation of this country.

Court. — Her Majesty and Prince Albert, the Prince 

 of Wales, and the Princesses, continue at Buckingham 

 Palace, and are quite well. The Queen, during the 

 week, has taken her usual morning walk in the Palace 

 gardens ; and on Monday and Wednesday Her Majesty 

 took an airing in an open carriage. On Saturday even- 

 ing the Queen and Prince Albert, attended by their suite, 

 honoured the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland with 

 their company at Stafford House, to be present at the 

 christening of the infant son of the Duke and Duchess. 

 The christening was solemnised shortly after the arrival 

 of Her Majesty, the ceremony being performed in the 

 picture gallery by the Archbishop of York, assisted by 

 the Rev. Sir Henry Dukinfield, Vicar of St. Martin's-in- 

 the-fields.* : |The sponsors were his Royal Highness 

 Prince Albert, Viscount Morpeth, and Lady Francis Eger- 

 ton, who was in her absence represented by Lady Blan- 

 tyre. The infant was named Albert after his godfather. 

 A selection of sacred music was performed from the organ 

 in the area of the staircase until dinner was announced. 

 At the table her Majesty and Prince Albert sat together, 

 the Duke of Sutherland sitting on the left of the Queen, 

 and the Duchess on the right of Prince Albert. The 

 balcony above the portico was tastefully illuminated, and 

 decorated with white lilies, and the jets d'eau were in full 

 play. On the dessert being placed on the table, the 

 Duke's piper, in the full costume of the Duke's clan, 

 passed round the banqueting-room, playing a Scottish 

 national air. At the termination of the dinner a concert 

 was given at the bottom of the marble staircase, at which 

 her Majesty and Prince Albert were present. Shortly 

 before 11, her Majesty and his Royal Highness returned 

 to the Palace. On Sunday the Queen and Prince at- 

 tended divine service in the Chapel Royal of Buckingham 

 Palace. On Tuesday the Prince presided at a meeting 

 of the Fine Arts Commission, and afterwards inspected 

 the sculptures and frescoes deposited in Westminster 

 Hall for the examination of the commissioner?, and for 

 subsequent exhibition to the public. On Wednesday 

 his Royal Highness transacted business at the office of 

 the Duchy of Cornwall, and on Thursday presided at the 

 anniversary of the Infant Orphan Asylum, at Wanstead. 

 On his return to town the Prince inspected the new 

 Royal Exchange, and the statue of the Duke of Wel- 

 lington. Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and suite, visited 

 Westminster Hall yesterday, for the purpose of inspect- 

 ing the frescoes. Her Majesty, on arriving at the Hall, 

 was received by Sir R. Peel, Sir J. Graham, the other 

 members of the Government, and Lord J. Russell, 

 &c. — Letters have been received from Nuremburg, 

 the 12th inst., by which we learn that H.R.H. the 

 Duchess of Kent, accompanied by Prince Leiningen, and 

 attended by Sir G. Couper and Lady A. M. Dawson, 

 ware on that day to leave that city, where the royal party 



arrived the previous afternoon for Gotha, to visit the 

 Duke and Duchess of Saxe Coburg Gotha. The Duchess 

 waa enjoying the best health. 



The King of Saxony. — H ii Majesty honoured the 

 Marquess of Salisbury by a visit at Hatfield House, on 

 Thursday, the 20th. Previous to luncheon, His Majesty 

 was conducted over the house, one of the finest Eliza- 

 bethan mansions in this country. The long gallery, in 

 which are some admirable oak carvings, the west wing 

 but recently completed, and the chapel were visited, and 

 in the other parts of the house the family portraits, and 

 other paintings, were generally admired by His Majesty, 

 particularly an original portrait of Queen Elizabeth, 

 considered one of the most faithful likenesses extant. 

 The stables, and new tennis-court and riding school 

 were visited by His Majesty, after which, accompanied 

 by the Marquess, the King drove round the park, first 

 going to see Queen Elizabeth's oak, at which spot tradi- 

 tion states that Her Majesty received the intelligence of 

 her accession to the Crown. The beautiful grounds 

 bounding the river, called the vineyards having been 

 gone over, the King passed by the oak pollards, a remark- 

 able feature Kb the park, as they are of great age 

 I and luxuriant growth, and particularly attracted His 

 Majesty's notice. The King having exproated himself 

 much pleased with these fine oaks, the Marquesa re- 

 quested the carriages to be driven to the Lion Oak, a 

 tree which exceeds in girth all the other oaks on the 

 demesne. His Majesty then returned to the mansion, 

 when luncheon was announced. The dejeuner was served 

 up in the marble hall, which possesses all the character- 

 istics of the old baronial construction. The King and suite 

 having partaken of luncheon then left Hatfield, it being 

 nearly two o'clock, for Stevenage, and from thence, by 



Royston, to Cambridge. 



Prince Hknry of Holland. — The squadron under 

 the command of His Royal Highness left Plymouth Sound 

 for the Mediterranean on Wednesday week. On Sunday 

 the Prince dined with the Port Admiral. On Monday 

 his Royal Highness, with some of his officers, privately 

 walked through the Dockyard. On Tuesday he wit- 

 nessed the review in honour of the anniversary of the 

 battle of Waterloo, at its conclusion partook of a 

 dejeuner, and in the evening dined at the official resi- 

 dence of Major General the Hon.G. Murray, Commander- 

 in-Chief of the district. On Wednesday the annual 

 bazaar in support of the funds of the Royal Female 

 Orphan Asylum, intended chiefly for the relief of the 

 orphans of naval officers, was held on the ground in front 

 of Penlee Villa, under the immediate patronage of his 

 Royal Highness, who proceeded thither in the carriage 

 of the Port Admiral. The Prince, who has become the 

 patron of the institution, which has her Majesty as 

 patroness, purchased liberally of all the fair vendors, and 

 by his example no doubt very much increased the receipts 

 for the day. On leafing the bazaar his Royal Highness 

 proceeded on board his frigate, and the squadron imme- 

 diately got under weigh, and left the harbour under the 

 usual exchanges of salutes. 



The Lord Lieutenancy. — The Duke of Buccleuch, 

 the Duke of Richmond, Lord Wharncliffe, and Lord 

 Heytesbury, have each been mentioned during the week 

 as likely to become the new Viceroy of Ireland ; it is 

 generally believed that the appointment will be conferred 



on Lord Heytesbury. 



Parliamentary Movements. — The Hon. Henry Cole 

 has been elected member for Enniskillen without oppo- 

 sition, in the room of the Hon. A. H. Cole, who has 

 accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. — Sir David Roche 

 retires from the representation of Limerick, and will be 

 succeeded by Mr. James Kelly, of Ballynanty, late High 

 Sheriff of the county, and an active Repealer. — The 

 Limerick Chronicle says that the Repealers of Mallow 

 have resolved upon turning Sir D. J. Norreys, M.P., 

 out of that borough, unless he takes their pledge. — Mr. 

 Madden, son of the late mayor of Sligo, is to succeed 

 Mr. Somers, M.P., as representative for that borough. 

 Captain Perceval, son of Colonel Perceval, the late mem- 

 ber, is reported a candidate for the county of Sligo on 

 the next vacancy.— Mr. Alexander MCarthy, barrister, 

 has offered himself to the Cork electors, on Repeal prin- 

 ciples, in the event of a vacancy in the representation of 



that city. . . _ 



The Navy.— -Sir Richard Dobson, senior physician of 



Greenwich Hospital, has retired, after half a century a 

 service, and has been succeeded by Dr. Liddell, of Haalar 

 Hospital, on a salary of 600/. per annum. Dr. King, 

 of the establishment at Bermuda, has been appointed to 

 succeed Dr. Liddell at Haslar, on a salary of 500/. per 



annum.
