TURIN, ROM IL I The treaty of commerce betweeu England and Melbourne advice@ to the 25th April state that the Intercolonial Conference had finished its sittings,' Italy will be signed to-day. and that the delegates from the other colonies bad returned borne. The proceedings were conducted with closed doors, and the results had not been com municated to parliament or the public. This much only had been made known, that an energetic address and protest to her Majesty against the revival of transportation had been signed by every member of the conference. The political news is without interest. The Melbourne Argus of April 25, says : The peat feature of the sporting world for the month is • grand challenge to England, which has apparently been r upon, sod the terms of it are them. The sports nittetle colonies are to obalkses those of the old country to • match, to berm in Victoria, for 10,0001., between Eng lish racehorses, the best they choose to send. and the race horses of Australia.

If the chalkier should be socated, it would create peat interest, both an the colonies ander. ham. CATHOLIC JUBILEE IN POSEN. BERLIN, Jots IL Upon the repeated requests of the Archbishops of Posen and Gresen the Pope has ordered a grand jubilee to take place in the diocese of Posen, com mencing upon the 90th instant. The jubilee is intended to celebrate the thousandth anniversary of the introduction of Christianity into Poland by Cyiillus and Idethodins. NEW ZEALAND. The Otago Daily Time, of the 18th April says : The returns from the gold fields continue satisfactory. The short hours of work during thewinter months are likely to reduce the quantity of gold obtained ; bat in the spring we may anticipate greater activity and larger 111019001 S than 0•0 s. The rivers are very late in going down this year. Many miners have been waiting months for the subsidence of the ifolyneux, secure in the knowledge that their submerged claims, when workable, will prove payable. The news from the seat of government is, on the whole, highly satisfactory. Sir George Grey is still at Taranaki. It is nearly certain from the last news received that he has already re-accapird the Tataraimaks Block without re course to force. Had force been necessary, he had wisely caused a reserve to be in attendance, with the view of etrik. toga vigorous blow ; hut he had taken every precaution to disconnect the Maurice generally from the hostile tribe• who have opposed the occupation of the Tataraimaks. It must not be supposed, however, that native difficulties are at an end. Above every other difdculty there is one of a thorough spirit of lawlessness to deal with. So much is this the case that the better disposed of the king party feel it necessary to co-operate with the Europeans. It will take years before au adequate respect for the law can be instilled into the native mind. Meanwhile there will always be a liability to die. collies. THE OVERLAND MAIL. By the arrival of the overland mail we have received advices from Calcutta to May 8 ; Madnus, May 14 ; Ceylon, May 16; Hong Kong, April 29; Shanghai, April 18 ; Singapore, May 7 ; Sydney, April 21 ; Melbourne, April 25 ; Bnebane, April 18 ; Auckland, April 6 ; and Dunedin, April 18. INDIA. The South Eastern Railway line toCannington, on the MutLab, was advertised to be opened for public traffic on the 16th of May, subject, however, to the sanction of the consulting engineer to government. At Calcutta, a requisition to the sheriff was in course of signature, calling upon him to convene a public meeting for the purpose of adopting congra tulatory addresses to the Queen and the Prince and Princess of wales. _ _ _ The Viceroy and Commander-in-Chief were still at Simla,whenoe there was no news of importance to record. On the afternoon of the 7th May • numerous audience was gathered together in the hall of the Chamber of Commerce of Calcutta, to hear a lecture by Sir Arthur Cotton, on works of irriga tion and navigation. The lecturer chiefly insisted on the necessity of appointing public works com missioners with powers to raise funds for prose cuting remunerative public works, and who shall be accountable for their appropriation to the purposes for which they were professedly obtained. Something like a mania for limited liability com panies is said to be prevailing in Calcutta. The Surkaru says upon this subject : We venture to resume our strictures on the limited liability mania. The importance of the subject must be our excess. Too much is at stake to permit the folly to go on unchallenged ; and it is surely better to speak out boldly now and nip the evil in the bud, than to delay all notice till a few designing stock-jobbers have secured their premiums, and the credulous multitude finds itself duped and ruined. The good name and reputation of our community, besides, are in question, and it is but right that it should empha tically repudiate complicity with practices which, we repeat, are alike disgraceful and diabonest. CHINA. There is no news of importance from Pekin. From Tientsin, we bear that all is quiet, the Nyenfei baying beea driven beyond " the boundary." From Hankow, we learn that a body of marauders bad caused much consternation among the native traders, by approaching to within ten miles of the city, after repulsing a force sent against them. Later accounts say they had retired, and that the alarm bad somewhat subsided. At Kin kiang, the British settlement is being rapidly im proved by a " municipal council," and also by the erection of a bund, or prays, which will be not only a protection against flooding in the river, but a great facility in the landing and shipment of goods. At Shanghai matters are reported as in a favourable state. Fooshan has at length yielded to an attack by the Anglo. Chinese contingent under Major Gordon, and the siege of Chiang-zu has been raised. Taitsan also had surrendered, and its garrison de clared for the imperial cause. Major Gordon is said to be preparing for further operations. General Burgevine has returned from Pekin, and it is said has been reinstated in the command of the Sunkiang force. This would appear to be a mistake, as Major Gordon was duly appointed by the authorities at the capitiaL Affairs at Ningpo are, it is said, in a bad state, owing to the license allowed to the Franco-Chinese force in looting and oppressing the people. Shaou shan, a city about twenty miles beyond Shaou being, had been evacuated by the rebels. From the porta of Fuhchau, Amoy, and Swatow there is DO news. JAPAN. From Japan we learn that her Majesty's Chargd d'Affaires had addressed the Tycoon on the subject of the two last outrages upon foreigners, viz., the attack upon the British Legation on the 20th of June last, when two of the guard from her Ma jesty's ship Renard were murdered; and the as sassination of Mr. Richardson on the Tokaido last September. For these outrages her Majesty's Cbargd d'Affaires, Colonel Neale, demands repara tion. The full details of his demands have not been made public, but the principal material clauses of the ultimatum comprise "the trial and capital execution of the murderers of Mr. Richardson, a heavy pecuniary penalty on Japan for that offence, and a considerable compensation for the sufferers or their surviving relatives." Should Colonel Neale's demands not be complied with in the precise terms laid down in this ultimatum, he reserves to himself the right of adopting coercive measures of a nature and dura tion "proportioned to the degree of ill-advised obstinacy or resistance which the Japanese go- vernment may assume." In order to give weight to these demands on the part of the English au thorities, a fleet was stationed in the harbour at Yokohama, under the command of Admiral Kuper, consisting of the Euryalus, Pearl, Argus, Centaur, Rattler, and Racehorse, with gunboats Havoc and Kestrel ; these were shortly to be joined by her Majesty's ships Ringdove, Encounter, Scout, and Coromandel, along with the gunboat Helper, with coals and stores. Two Dutch and two French vessels of war were also present with the English fleet. The Perseus and Leopard were iu Hong Kong Harbour, and would probably join the admiral's fleet as soon as they could be got ready. The ultimatum was sent in on the 6th of April, and twenty days allowed for its being astir factorily replied to. The latest dates from Yoko hama are to the 15th of April, up to which time no reply had been received. The Tycoon, however, had previously le ft for Ifialto (March 23), and the ultimatum had been sent after him to the capital. The Mayor of Kane gawa is said to have expressed himself, in a com munication to the admiral, to the effect that the Tycoon's government was not strong enough to arrest and punish Shimadzoo Saburo, father of Prince Satsuma : this was one of the murderers of Richardson, and it will be recollected that the Tycoon then expressed his comparative helpless ness in the ease. In the present emergency it is alleged that the Mayor of Kanagawa hes suggested that satisfaction should be taken from the Prince of Satsuma himself, by the seizure of the Loo Choo Islands, which are his property, and yield a revenue of half a *million sterling per annum. THE BELGIAN ELECTIONS. MOM OCR OWN COIMESPONDINT.) BRUSSRIA Joss 10. The general elections for the two houses of the Belgian Parliament took place yesterday, and on the whole was not very satisfactory. The government lost 6 votes in the Chamber of Representatives and gained 3 in the Senate. The ministerial majority, which was of 67 to 49 in the Lower Chamber before the elections, is now 61 to 55. In the Senate it was 30 to 28, and is at present 33 to' 5. The principal member of the cabinet, M. Rogier, Minister of Foreign Affairs, was beaten in the small borough of Dinant, after having given up his seat for Antwerp on account of the fortification question. In the commercial metropolis, the anti ministerial movement overthrew the five liberal members, whose places have been taken by five catholics and radicals, among whom is Colonel Hayes, a personal friend of the Minister of War. In Bruges, one of the senior members of the liberal party, M. Bevan.; fell a victim to the bishop, the wildest fanatic among the Belgian clergy. On the whole the government are placed ' in the most delicate position. Must they retire, possessing a majority, however small ? --- • Can they continue to govern with a majority of six members ? Will the catholics dare to risk a dissolution in the present circumstances King Leopold will probably decide, and a cabinet council will be held within a few days for this purpose. His Majesty, for the moment, seems greatly relieved. Re was operated upon yesterday by an English surgeon, Dr. Thompson, and feels much better. The Duke of Brabant returned from his journey iu the south of Europe in good health and spirits. The Prince, however, intends to leave again in a few days for one of the German spas.

Additional.] THE MARRIAGE OP THE DUKE DE CHARTRES AND THE PRINCESS FRANCOIS D'ORLEANS. Yesterday morning, a ceremony of unusual in terest took place in the Roman Catholic Chapel near King ston—the marriage of two cousins of the illustrioes bona of Orleans, grandchildren of King Louis Philippe and the venerable Queen Marie Amelie. The noble family of Orleans has lived at Claremont since the events of 1848, which de prived them of a throne and of everything hat honour, and the saintly virtues of the ex-Queen, the geoerceity accessi bility, and kindness of the whole family to people of ill ranks in Fier and the neighbourhood, have endeared them to the public in so remarkable a degree, that a committee, of which the curate (the rector being old and infirm) was the honorary secretary, was nominated by the parishioners for the purpose of devising some appropriate means of cele brating the auspicious event which united the Duke of Chartres to the Prince de doinville's daughter. The com mittee succeeded in producing most excellent effects by tasteful and varied devices. Two triumphal arches were erected in Feher, with Saga and flowers and leaves; costly flowers were plead in stands on the road aide; on nearly every house, even the poorest, was some kin dly token of respect in the shape of • festoon or Bag. Three flap were on the ample of Esher new church, a tribute which, coupled with the fact of the curate being secretary of the committee, showing that no difference of creed pre eluded the House of Orleans from showing acts of cha rity and kindness to their neighbours. The gram was ens mass at flap ; harrnouio Zieplis took up posi tions long the route, and played at intervals ; school chil dren were decked out in their best, and wore favour., and the gentlemen of Saber turned out from an early hour, end arranged flowers and flags outside their houses in honour of the day. Claremont itself was all alive by amen o'clock in the moraine, what with postdated*, botcher,' carts, cooks, confectioners, flower-bearers, and in short purveyors of everything. At nine o'clock • royal salute of twenty-one runs was fired by • battery of the 6th Surrey Artillery Volunteers, commanded by Major Terry. The scarlet uniforms and the smartness of theme volunteers were greatly admired, but the appearance of the boys of the troop mounted on donkeys, drawthg the guns, was comical in the extreme • the Woolf is called, in fact, the donkey artillery. About! ten o'clock the carriage left Claremont for Kingston, four miles distant, and ell along the route there were numerous spectators. About half-past ten the Queen of the French drove up to the chapel, leaning on the arm et her grandson, the Duke of Chartres, and every hat was raised in sympathy and respect foe the noble-minded lady who had pared through so many vicissitudes, and yet lives, is her 82nd year, beloved and ve nerated by all. Shortly after this the mammy commenced. The chapel, built by the late Mr. Raphael, M.P., was decorated with flowers, flags, and festoons of leaves, and outside there was • tempter/ aiming. The Right Rev. Dr. Grant, titular Bishop of the Roman catholic* in Southwark district; Father , Barham, of Richmond ; Father Holdstock, of Ham ; Father Ainserceth, et Kingston (master of the ceremonta), the Abbe Gentle, chaplain at Claremont, and two priests from the Free= chapel, near Portman-aurae, received the bridal party, after which the ceremony began. The Prince de Jouiville (second an of Kim Louis Philippe) gave away his daughter. The bishop, first in French, asked Robert Phi lipps Louis Eugene Ferdinand d'Orleansif he took Francoise Marie of Orleans to be his wife "in Nickname and health, for better for worse, for richer for poorer," and he answered ..re etas, in • firm and manly tone. To • similar question the Princess responded Jr ves.c audibly but tremulously. The sacrament was then administered in the usual form. After the ceremony was concluded the school children at tached to the chapel, dressed neatly in white, with blue sashes, strewed flowers on the path of the couple as they left the sacred building, and many kindly wishes for the welfare of the august pair and the ex -royal family of France were audibly uttered. About one o'clock the school chil dren, headed by the band, went to Claremo rat-park, which was then thrown open to the inhabitants of Esher. The band played in front of the palms during the breakfast, to which thirty-four guests were Moiled. A dieser was pro vided fur the children in the school, and there were all kinds of rustic sports ; for the ladies and gentlemen a sump tuous entertainment was provided in the park. On Wednesday evening Princess FfSll9OlO sent 801. forth, poor of the parish. About one o'clock their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales arrived to offer their congratulations to the Duke and Duchess de Chartres, and stayed • consider able time in the palace. The Duke of Cambridge, the Duchess of Cambridge, and the Princess Mary also paid visits to their royal highoeues, as did some of the junior members of the Queens family. Among the company at Claremont were the Duke and Duchess d'Aumale, the Duke de Nemours and Princedom Marguerite and Blanche, the Prince and Princess de Joinville, the Count de Paris, P risee Philip of Wurtemburg, grandson of the ex-Queen, Priam Marie of Orleans' son, Princess August:, with PriticePtolip, Prince August of Sae Coburg, the Duke of Moutpeosier, Prince Edward of Sane Weimar, C. 8., and a vast number of distinguished members of the French nobility. At 2 o'clock the illustrious guests sat down to break fast. The bride and bridegroom led the way from the drawing-room, the Prince of Wales folbwiog with the venerable Queen, who looked exceedingly well, and meal farted • lively interest in the festivities. The Count de Paris came next, leading the Princess of Wales, who never looked more charmingly beautiful and interestieg. Prince Alfred followed, leading the Princess de Joinville ; sod then came the Prince de Joioville with the Princess Helena, the Duke of Cambridge with the Prince= Louth., the Duke d'Aurnale with the Duchess of Cambridge, the Duke de Montpsusier with the Princess Mary, Prince Edward of Saxe Weiruer with the Duchene Augustus of Saxe Coburg, Prince Philip of Wurtemburg with the Princess Marguerite of Coburg, the Prince of Leiniogen with the Duche d'Aumale, io the order described. The other guests at the royal table were the Priam Philippe and Augustus of Saxe Coburg, and the ambassadors and ministers present at the marrisge. The bride and bride groom sat in the centre of the table, faced by the Prince of Wales and Queen Marie Amelia, and supported by the Princess of Wales and the Princess de Joimille. Towards the close of the dejedner the health of the newly-married pair was touchingly proposed by the venerable Queen her self, who, with glass in hand, arrested general attention by emphatically calling upon her guests to respond to the toast, " A la Semi de le Due et la Duchease de Chartres." The illustrious party instantly responded to the appeal, tieing from their eats and greeting the young couple with every mark of affectionate esteem. When the de:it-deer was concluded the Prince and Princes, of Wales and the other members of our royal family took an affectionate leave of the Duke and Duchess de Chartres, and presently afterwards departed on their return to Loudon. At 4 o'clock the newly wedded Prince and Priocass bade farewell to their illustrious relatives, and left Claremont en rook for Scotland. They will reside at Hameemmon, having taken a mansion there known as Morgan House. A daily contemporary, describing the scene at the mar. nags, says :—" Somalung of a thrill teemed to pass through the crowd at the sight of that aged Queen. Eighty years and more hive gone by since she first saw the light of day as the danghter of Ferdinand 1., King of the Two Siciliee • yet, if twice that number of years lied ro ll ed over her head, she could soiree look more worn and weary. Bat about her, more than about soy other of that royal household, there hung the air of royalty. There was ' Queen ' written in every feature of her face, in every gesture of her body • and the reverence with which all saluted bar am she Passed was received by her courteously, but as • right. Even those who looked upon her without knowing anything of her history felt an involmary awe. The Niobe of royalty, she stood there as the last sur vivor of s bygone age sod an extinct generation. She had lived to see four kings upon the throne of her native land, and behold her grand-nephew in exile as the last monarch of her royal house. Born in the reign of Lorna XVL, she could remember the Revolution, the Consulate, the Empire, the Restoration, the days of July, the eighteen years of her own queenship, the Republic, and the Second Empire. More than half a century has gone by since she married the late King of the French, then es exile as abe now is. One-and-twenty years have elapsed since she stood by the grave of her first-born son, and now she bad come forth from her solitude and seclusion to see the marriage of her grandchildren, disinherited of the titles to which they were born, exiles in a strange country. She may well remember the death of Philippe Egalite,' the wicked Duke of Orleans. Could it be that the thought pressed upon her, how the sine of the father are visited upon the children unto the thud and fourth generation But the Duke of Chartres himself was the object of even more attention. His fate has been scarce less strange than that of the lady whom he led with reverent care. France must be to him little more than • name. It may be that some hazy vision of the scene in the Chamber of Deputies floats before him, as • recollection of hie far-away childhood ; but this is all that he can know of the country of his birth ; other and distant hods are familiar to him ; he has served in the armies of the King of !tidy, fighting side by aide with his fellow countrymen • he has fought In the giant struggle of the great republic of the new world ; and but a few months since he was carrying the orders of M'Clellan at the battles of the Chiokahomlny. Be has seen many men and many cities, but that fair Fiance of his is to bum a sealed book. As the foreign exiles of whom Stem wrote came down to Calais to gaze upon the shores of England, so be may have looked with • fond, longing, and passionate desire across the straits of Dover, on the land over which his father was to have been the king ; but otherwise he can know no native country save the land of his adoption. And then there was another pause, and the bride entered, leaning on her father's arm. Tall, dark, and pale, she bore traces of that tropic land of the &sails from which her mother came. She was dressed in white, with the chaplet of orange flowers upon bee brow and the rich veil of snowy lace hanging almost to her feet, and took her station on the left hand of her future husband. The young Prince wore the style of dress in which foreigners delight, and from which Beglish taste Imola. Onsy trousers, • blue swallow-tail oat with gilt buttons, and • while waist coat and necktie do not form an advantageous costume, and the Prince is still so boyish-looking that he can hardly stand the effect of an =favourable costume. However, he [TWOPEN seemed perfectly calm and melt-collected, and looked u hank and manly as it was possible for any led to look under such circumstances." MUSIC. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Gounod'a new opera, Faust, the production of which at this theatre has been looked for with so much interart, we; after long preparation, performed for the first time last night. That its smears, es • whole, is fully deserved, and that it has been broughtfout and performed in • manner which does the highest honour to the theatre and the company, few persona, we believe, will dispute ; but the merits of the mimic, comiclered in detail, demand deliberate judgment, and will Carily give rise to considerable differences of opinion. l ght the acting and singing were magnificent. Giuglioi wee Faust, Titian.' Margaret, Gamier Mephatopheles, and &alley Valentine, Margaret's brother. The orchestra and chorus, thanks, to the exertions of Signor Arditi, the excel lent conductor, acquitted themselves admirably ; and the scenery, decorations, and everything belonging to the spectacle, were rich and beautiful. The theatre was crowded to the doors, and the boxes and Malls filled with biabiosabis company. DRAMA. HAY Id MiKET. After the comedy of Finale., which appears to be drawing large audiences at this boom, a little piece, ob viously adopted from a French scares, was produced last sight, under the somewhat taking tine at Sary Sharing. It is more than usually alight ut construction, and is not remarkably brilliant is dialogue, but aided by the pictu resqwJ costume of the tiros of Charles the Ssoond, a new ballad, composed by Mr. W. 11. Montgomery, and one or two amusing situations, it obtained sdkient applause to keep life is it to a few nights. WEST CONNAUGHT CHURCH ENDOWMENT SOCIBT Y. A public meeting in aid of this society was held yesterday at the Hanover-square Rooms ; the Earl of Halutoirrir presiding, the Archbishops of Canterbury and Armagh, the Bishop of Winchester, Canon Wordsworth, &r R. Peal, M.P., Mews. Whiteside, M.P., Long, M.P., end Hr. Henry Hoare being also puma The Archbishop of ARMAGH moved—" That considering the pure and ecriptand faith of the primitive church of Ireland, and the subsequent compulsory introduction of the influence and errors of Hops, as well as the hindrances pissed in the progress of the Reformation by some to whom Ireland looked for help and support, this meeting is of opinion that the Irish branch of the united church has strong claims upon the sympathy and assistance of British Christians in the efforts she ia making to spread and deepen the institutions of true religion amongst the people of Ireland." The moat reverend primate gave a most learned and interesting account of the religious history of Ireland, from the first establishment of Christianity there, pointing out that the Irish church, like the English, or gi y sprang from the Eastern, and not the Western church, that for nearly a thousand piers it WM entirely independent of Rome, and that the teaching of Si. Patrick, Ireland's apostle, was as much opposed to that of Rome and as far from Romish superstitions as was the protestant ohm ch of the present day. Ireland was first brought under the infltienai of the Paul system by England in 1172; and by penal 'nutmeats against the use of the Irish language in official proceedings, and against the printing of the Scriptures in the Irish language, it was England who had been mainly instrumental in ex cluding from the sister country the blessings of the Refor mation. After speaking of the happy efforts of missionary exertions in West Connaught he appealed to the meeting for contributions, in order to endow existing new churches, and to extend the blessings which bad been received with so much gratitude by the Irish people wherever thou churches had been pleated. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY seconded the motion. He expressed his satisfaction at observing the progress of the cew reformation now in operation in the western part of Ireland, and remarked that for four centuries, during the early history of the church, not only in Ireland but in England also, it was independent of Rome, and was entirely free from its errors and superstitious. It was due to England that the corruptioos of Rome were first introduced into Ireland, and consequently the duty was the mote pressing upon this country to promote such a course as the society W" carrying out. Canoe woaDeworra likewise spoke in support of the resolution, stating that he looked upon the present meeting as a pledge of the union between the English and Irish branches of the established church, which was months' to the permanent interests of both countries ; and respecting the allegations made in some quarters that the church of Ireland was au obtrusive and innovating body, he held that as England in the days of Henry IL had Romacised Ireland, she wu bound to do all in her power to evangelise Ireland. Theresolution bevies been agreed to, The Bishop of WINCHESTER moved " That, considering the great importers°, mf securing permanent provision for resident clergymen to minister in the newly-formed congre gations in Western Connaught, and the onions difficulties in the way of increasing such provision from loon! resources . . . . within 's° extremely poor a district, this meeting wishes to support the appeal for an endowment fund, which the Bishop of Tuam has sanctioned, and which Mr. Garrett has been re quested to conduct throughout England." He spoke of the great success of the Irish church minions, the number of new churches built, new clergymen appointed, stations and schools opened, and converts made, as forming an irresistible claim upon the people of this country to male some provision for their permanent endowment. As a strong proof of the progress of the movement he quoted a passage from the Roman catholic paper, the Tablet, to the effect that not oily had proselytism extended in Town, in Omaha', and in Armagh, but bad began to extend in Dublin itself. Mr. WHITEILDZ, M.P., seconded the reeolution,: which was carried. Sir It. Parc moved a vote of thanks to the London com mittee. and to the Earl of Ilan owby, as a member tof it, for presiding that day. The right boo. gentleman bore tes timony to the happy results observable is the improved moral and social condition of the Irish people wherever pro testantism prevailed, sad expreeried a hearty concurrence in the object of the meeting. The motion wu seconded by Mr. Los°, M.P., and the proceedioga terminated. BRITISH ORPHAN ARYLTIIL By a well-timed and judicious arrangement on the part of the directon of this excellent Wet:natio& • gnad fancy fair in aid of its funds wee commenced yester day in the Guildhall, under the sanction of the Lord Mayor and the corporation. All the costly decorations pre for the civic ball lately given to the Primo& arid Princess of Wales on Monday last having been allowed to remain in their integrity, the ball, together with the various ante chambers, presented, as may well be imagined, a magoili oent coup d'ait ; and the general effect required nothing but the aid of arti fi cial light to reader it as striking and imposing as it was on the occasion which originally tiros formed this venerable building into a series of elegant arlons. The result, as far as the deemative art was concerned, was such as to lead to the be lief that Mr. Cram. io making his designs, had contemplated the probability of his admirable handi work being exposed to the scrutiny of daylight. It should be stated, however that certain features in the remindscene, scene as, for instance, the apartment in which WAS ex hibited a view of the summer residence of Prince Christiasiof Deninark—were still shown through the medium of gas light, and this portion of the day 's entertainment formed ose of the most agreeable effects to ,he seen. The baresr itself was held in the great hall, and the Prime of Wales himself could not be otherwise than gratified to see the magnificent ballroom of a few evenings sine* now adorned with ' , neatly arranged "stalls," presided over by chant ' able ladies, whose names were inscribed in ornamental gold letters over their respective compartments. Among the many ladies who seemed to ply their busy trade with conspicuous activity, and with corresponding WIDOWS, were Mrs. Captaiu Weller, Mn. Charles Woolleton. Mrs. Gardner, and Miss K. Mayhew, all of whom exercised their powers of fascination with such commendable vigour that they might have charmed a piece of money out of the most closely buttoned pocket. The "fair" was under the immediate patronage of the Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Mary of Cambridge, and the Lady filayorees, and a goodly list of ladies of rank and distinction. Everything was done that could be done to enable the public to form • truthful idea of the time-honoured building under the elegant guise which belonged to i i on the interesting occasion of the late ball ; and the visitors congregated in such overwhelm ing numbers yesterday, that there can be no doubt that the institution will be amply rewarded for the judgment and enterprise of its energetic directors. The bazaar will be continued to-day (Friday) and to-morrow under precisely the same auspices. Our Liverpool correspondent announces the death of Mr. Walter F. Macgregor, who dial somewhat uses.
