the successive leaders of the ether parties. Mr. Fox opposed the legislative union of the islands because he believed that the intimate alliance, not less per sonal than moral, which subsided between the Eng lish and Irish whigs, would preserve the connexion. Mr. Pm, on the other hand, maw that there was no party in Ireland congenial with English tory views. After 1782 Mr. PITT naturally feared for the con nexion. He said, "As there is no legislative union, let us have a commercial one." He brought forward " Irish commercial propositions," which failed. Mr. Fox, on the other hand, reposed fall faith in the strong party union of English and Irish liberals. The existence of that friendly union preserved the i s lands. But for the want of such a vital—such a living personal connexion—the government of Ire land, for the last fifteen years, has been much em barreased. We say it without the least bitterness, that the class of men who were flung by O'CONNELL into St. Stephen's did vast injury to the social and political character of their country, without doing it a ny good. Their social influence in Ireland, or Eng land, was nominal. They bad no qualities for gain ing influence in the House of Commons. They could not coalesce with English radicals, whose ideas and views were totally different. The tortes contemptu ously spurned them from their private clubs and societies. The whigs maid not be partial to the men who had usurped their seats, and had coarsely vili fied their principles. The gigantic influence of O'CONNELL, and his multifarious talents alone, gave them any influence. Had they been men of in fluence in Ireland, or of talents in parliament, they would never have so tamely submitted to his sway. The introduction of so ulterior a class of members has been felt in Irish legislation down to the present session. We drew attention, some time since, to the notorious incompetency of the present Irish members, and our remarks have been echoed by nearly all the leading Irish journals. Bat what is the remedy? We answer, a very obvious one, which must be stringently employed. The Irish constituencies, and those who lead them, must take the matter up at once. The in capables must be ousted. The mere cyphers; the in significant country squires; the fantastic Fribbles, and dingy provincial dandies, must be sent about , their business. Their places must be filled by steady and respectable men, by those who can afford to have their characters scrutinised. We repeat that there must be a discreet choice of candidates for the coming election. Irish consti tuencies must not follow the bad example given by the county of Cork, where two inexperienced gentle men are new put forward as rival claimants for the seat filled by O'CONNELL. The tones have started Mr. LEADER, a respectable country gentleman, and nothing more ; certainly in few respects qualified to be the member for so large a constituency as that of Cork. On the other hand, the repealer., determined in their obstinacy to prevent a whig from being chosen, have pat forward a physician practising in a country town, Dr. MAntice Powea, for their champion, and have carried his election ! What possible influence could such a gentleman have in an assembly like the House of Commons ? He is not experienced in public business; he is neither a landholder or a great capitalist; he is unacquainted with commerce, and has no stand ing as a public man ; yet, blinded by fanaticism, the county of Cork repealers have chosen such a mere cypher for their candidate. There cannot be a greater error in Irish politics than in returning members without personal influence, or the qualities which win favour. No wise constituency ought to disregard the social position and personal claims of a candidate for their suffrages. To send into parliament men without rank, without talent, without experience of affairs, is a blunder of the greatest magnitude, yet we are sorry to observe that some of the Irish constituencies seem resolved to persevere in the absurd course which has given them for many years an inefficient, obscure, and despised body of representatives. It is for the leaders of the liberal party in Ire land to put an end to this system of returning feeble representatives to parliament. The liberal party in Ireland has been for some time in a state of abeyance ; but now, when too large a portion of the popular party is showing an abject indifference to politics, the leaders of the Irish liberals must come forward and interpose their authority between the political inaction of the people, and the grasping aims of the ascendancy. If they will not do so, the case of Ireland may become worse than it has been : " Even in the lowest depths a lower still." LISBON, Jr.rtnt 29. It was rumoured yesterday that despatches had reached the Admiral from Sir Thomas Maitland, off the bar of Oporto ; the report turned out correct The de spstches were brought by the Preach steamer, Anacreon , and appear high) mportant. It would seem that the queen's field-mar e , the Duke of Saldanka, after months of most cautious inactivity, had, somehow or other, em boldened by the immediate presence of the overwhelm ing. Spanish force, advanced to within gunshot of the city, and determined to ham a brush with the enemy's out posts. This took place on the 27th, the result being a score or so of killed and wounded on either aide; no very t matter, the mean time, the Marquis of Louie u re n a cle, by marriage, to the queen), had announced to Sir homes Maitland the derision of the Junta to yield up the city and to surrender themselves upon certain conditions, the principal stipulation being that the Spaniards were to garrison Oporto, and receive their arms, but that Saldanha, with the Cabral forces, should not be permitted to put foot in the place. The Marshal, however, offers impediments to • picifice, Son. Ile insists upon entering the city. Colonel Wylde, we are told, inclines to Saldenha's wish, and so, it is likely that, in the perseverance of • line of action arising out of pammal pique on the one side, and the desire of enjoying a In* Idevaph on the other, more blood may yet be shed. Asmara the trifling occurrences just now so characteristic of Lisbon doings is the seising by the police and incarcerat fag in the already overflowing jails of all the soldiers they aaa lay bonds on or entrap, who were the other day released Dana Fort St. Juliaa upon the solemn pledge of the English mimiral and English minister that they should receive name plate for their various homes. The government now say ihiSellee free and on shore these men again fall under the mmseription act, and, consequently, those who would not take military service, are flung into prison, where, with a wholesome abstinence from food and water, these base jtaissaries of the queen of " good faith " anticipate over coming any lingering reluctance of the men to serve. Sir Witham Parker is aware of this infamous infraction of pledges and engagements ; I state this upon authority, pledge myself to the fact I relate, and by next packet will furnish you documentary proof of the admiral's cognisance of these outrages. The following is a translation of a royal decree appearing is the Diario of yesterday, but bearing date the 26th inst.: " COLONIAL-OFFICIL—This department having received the confidential despatch dated 27th March last, in which the Governor-General of the province of Angola announces the arrival at Loanda (the Portuguese Sierra Leone) on board the brirfAudaz of the political prisoners taken in the action of Torres Vedras on the 22nd December last, and her Majesty the Queen being desirous to extend to the said pri soners the advantages of the amnesty which she was plessed (ciy. compelled ?) to grant by decree of the 28th April last, the same august lady orders, through the marine and colo nial department, that the said governor-general, fist wading from the said prisoners en oath of submission to her august person and to the constitutional charter of the monarchy, the prisoners are to be considered as at liberty, and as such permitted to reside, or retire to whatever place they may deem proper, it being understood that the said governor is from this moment authorised to arrange i for them to Portugal (which will be paid in LisCi sag )o e i s t board such merchant vessels as may offer, as it is impossible at the present moment to send from hence • vessel of war for this purposc—COONT or TOJS.L.—Palace of Necesai dada', June 26, 1847. ceiving and returning the envoi, entered the hall, by a door at the upper end, near the el:10r of state which had been provided for her use. Her Majesty, who wore a" dress of white muslin, trimmed with primrose -coloured ribbon., with bonnet to match, and who looked extremely well, was at tended by the Duchess of Sutherland and another lady in waiting, the Earl of Fortmone, Earl Spencer, and Sir George Grey, and was conducted to the throne by the uni versity authorities. Having taken her seat, a shout was heard from without, and almost instantaneously the ball, which, except at the throne and in the gallery, had been hitherto empty, became crowded by members of the university, who, rushing in, hailed the presence of her Majesty and their Chancellor— who, assisted by the Vice-Chancellor and some of the heads of the colleges, was endeavouring to approach the throne in something like order—with hums so loud and so long that the fine old Tudor Gothic ball rang again and again with their echoes. Occupying pieces near the throne were the distinguished foreign princes and the suite who ac companied her Majesty. The Prince-Chancellor, on entering at the principal door, proceeded, the Vice-Chancellor, bedells, and other univer sity officers attending him, direct to the throne, where, on approaching her Majesty, his Royal Highness tad the ad dress as follows lace, bracelets, star, and George, rendered her Majesty a most striking and glittering object, as she sat by her consort's side, surrounded by her attendants and court. The venerable Duke of Wellington occupied • chair to the right of the Queen, and the Duke of Buocleuch. the Duchess of Sutherland, the Earl and Countess of' .. Hardwick°, together with numerous other noble personages, including the Premien princes and their suite, were seated near her Majesty. At half-past eight the concert began with the national anthem, the Queen and Prince standing during the performance, which was under the conduct of Professor Walmisley, who presided at the piano. A MS. symphony composed by this gentleman wu next played, much to the gratification of the royal maple, who loudly applauded the composition. The principal vocalists were Mdl le. Alboni and Misses Dolby and Birch, together with Signori Sal vi and Lablache,and Messrs.ll . Phillips and Lockey. The orchestra comprised the most eminent musicians in the two Italian theatres. Several of the vocal pieces appeared to give her Majesty and the Prince consort great pleasure ; and notwithstanding the fatigues which both of them must have undergone during the day, there were no symptoms of lassitude perceptible in either. The concert did not termi nate until Rear eleven o'clock. After it was concluded, the Queen and Prince retired (amidst the acclamations of the audience) to the royal apartments at Trinity College, thus bringing to a close the first day's visit to Cambridge. FATAL AFFRAY IN SOUTHWARK.—Yesterday even ing a man named George Rodway, aged 32 years, expired in the accident ward of Guy's Hospital. from injuries received in a fight. The deceased& few nights *Uwe left a public-house in Gravel-lane very much intoxicated, quarrelling and fighting with several persons, and when be reached a spot facing Ow Salmon Tavern, in Union-street, Southwark, he had some words with a young man named H•Donald, and ultimately a desperate fight ensued. They continued the battle until the 7th round, when M'Donald threw the deceased with great violence on the kerbstone, which terminated the contest. Rodway remained unconscious for a few seconds, but subse quently reeevered and was taken home. On the following morning he became worse, and a surgeon being called in ad. vised his removal to the above hospital, where Mr. Abershon, the assistant-surgeon, on examination, found the deceased to be suffering from absorbing inflammation of the left arm, which had evidently received violent injury. There were several external marks of violence on the back part of the body aad the bead. Delirium tremens eventually came on, which terminated fatally. Information has been forwarded to Mr. W. Payne, the coroner, who baa ordered a post-mor tem examination of the body, and an inquest, which will take place this day. ----- -- - . TO roe QOIIII .

On Saturday last the Eng lish steam-packet, the Dieppe, plying between Havre and Brighton, was stopped on her first journey by an infringe ment of the custom lass, followed by a breach of the peace. One of the crew of the steamer was seen, ss the boat was about to start, endeavouring to smuggle away a few packets of gloves. He had, however, been watched, and was seised whilst in the act. The delinquent, says theJournaldu Hoer., disappointed in his intentions, answered the rude summons made him by one of those British blows with his fist which send a man spinning to the ground, and endeavoured to fly. But he was soon stopped, and the steam-boat was only enabled to proceed after a negotiation with the authorities, which lasted a whole hour. ITALY.—ROME.—PROCLAMATTON OF THE POPE. —Some placards of an exciting tendency having recently appeared at Rome on the the occasion of the fire on the 17th ult., a proclamation was published there oa the 22nd by Cardinal Gum, in the name of the pope, in which his holi ness, after alluding to the reforms which he had felt it his duty to introduce, declares that he intends to persevere in the same course, but to observe in so doll wisdom and prudence. The proclamation says: " His h ins+, is firmly resolved to pursue the course of amelioration in every branch of the public administration which may require it ; but he is equally resolved to do this only on a prudent and cal culated gradation, and within limit, which belong essen tially to the sovereignty and the temporal govern ment of the head of the Catholic Church —• go vernment which cannot adopt certain forms which would ruin even the existence of the sovereignty, or at least diminish that external liberty—that independence in the ex ercise of the supreme primacy for which God willed that the holy see should have • temporal principality. The holy tether cannot forget the sacred duties which compel him to preserve intact the trust that has been confided to him." The pope then enumerates some of the reforms and ameliorations that he has introduced, and the proclamation adds: " The holy father has not been able to see, without deep regret, that certain restless minds are desirous of profiting by the present state of things to promulgate and endeavour to establish doctrines and ideas totally contrary to his maxims, or te impose upon him others entirely opposed to the tranquil and pacific stature and the sublime character of the person who is the vicar of Jams Christ, the minister of • God of peace, and the father of all Catholics, to what ever part of the world they may belong, or finally, to excite in the minds of the people, by speeches or writings, desires and hopes of reform beyond ' the limits which his holiness has indicated. As these persons are in small number, and the good sense and rectitude which govern the great majority of the people have hitherto rejected these insinuations and counsels, the holy father feels assured that they will never Sod a welcome among the people. But it is more may to imagine than to describe the grief felt by his holiness at some: horrible acts which have taken place in various provinces, and which are in open opposition to the peace and concord which he was desirous of establishing among his beloved subjects, when, in the early days of his glorious pon tificate, tie pronounced the sweet words of pardon. Another subject of grief for his holiness has arisen from certain as semblages of the multitude, which, order a pretext of a scarcity of corn or other wants, have taken place in divers parts of the Mate, to the disturbance of public order, and sometimes with menaces ageism& personal security. Cardinal Gitzi then says that the pope does not confound these meetings with these which have taken place for the manifestation of gratitude for the benefits which be has bestowed upon the people, and that lie holiness is deeply sensible of these d sad implores God to bestow the most perfect them, but he adds : The paternal heart of lie suffers deeply at seeing entire populating* lei ledividuals incessantly put to expense for public dismomstretkms, artisans abandoning their labour to the injury of their families, and youths destined to study losing time which is precious to them. The heart of his holiness would suffer still more if this state of things were to continue. The first year of his pon tificate is over, and in this period of time the holy father has been able fully to appreciate the love, gratitude, and devotedness of hie well-beloved subjects. He now asks a proof of these praiseworthy sentiments, and this proof must consist in the cessation of all unusual popular meetings, on whatever occasion and all extraordinary manifestations, I except those for wh ich, anterior to the present notifies ' tion, permission had been received from the competent authorities." THE LNSTALLATION.-HER MAJESTY'S THE sole grounds upon which exorbitant duties oa foreign goods imported were advocated after suffi cient proof had been given that they produced no revenue was, that they defended certain manufac turing or agricultural intend& High and differen tial duties were supposed to protect home production. Parliament arrogated the power of creating or pre serving certain branches of trade. The triumph of the free trader consisted, not in having the obnoxious duties abolished. He aimed at something higher : his wish was, to destroy the convictions on which the advocacy of those duties was founded. His labour was directed to obtain an acknowledgment of the incorrectness of this notion. He wished the house to declare that it would not create and would not protect any branch of trade by laying on restrictions. This acknowledgment was practically obtained by Sir ROBERT PEEL, but only as leader of those who for years had professed the new faith, and had man fully fought against him to spread it. Under more congenial leaders it might be expected that the same house would at least show the same views, and would furnish the same majority to support them. Were a question raised concerning inland production, it might be expected that restrictions would form no part of any future project for the encouragement of industry. But the case has occurred; and how is it treated? Parties desirous of constructing railways, encouraged by the unprecedented success which has attended some of those undertakings, come to parliament for leave to do so. They are told that they monopolise the capital of the country, and that they are not to build them. Whether it is the agricultural or the manufacturing interest that is to suffer fron the alleged monopoly does not appear. Ministers are not even called upon to state which in terest they now recommend parliament to pro tect. An indistinct notion prevails that railroads absorb capital. People have not yet gone the length of openly declaring that they caused the present dearth of corn, or the momentary stoppage of the factories ; but there is a notion abroad that all is not right about them. It is true that we have no line se long as some of the German lines ; but what does that signify? What good can it do an Edinburgh man to be twenty-four hours sooner in London than he now is ? People shake their heads, and parlia ment throws out the bills. Matter-of-fact observers make such comments as the following : A railway requires about 200 tons of iron per mile. Is parlia ment afraid of exhausting our mines? To produce this iron, wages are paid long before the rail road company gets its rails or chairs. The labourer, therefore, runs no risk. The timber is imported ; its cost and its freight are paid before the railway company gets it. The landowner is on the spot to look after his own interests. Who runs any nsk in contracting with a railway company ? Well, but these companies lock up all our money. How do they lock it up ? They neither make rails nor sleepers of it. If money passes through their hands, it goes forthwith into the pockets of the iron master and of the timber merchant, or rather of the people whom these employ. They will scarcely deliver their goods without paymeat, and consequently the money sub- scribed can scarcely be locked up, at least not by the company. To people of such ample minds the money employed to enable a company to order some thou sands of tons of iron, and some hundreds of thousands of cubic feet of timber, instead of being consumed, is positively increased by its being thus appropriated. let the railway but be built, and it will be sees whether the company is a loser in money or not ; and if the shareholders have lost no money, how can the nation be a loser? Where is even a t for interfering in this purely commercial tion ? If this gimp's view of the matter be not the right one, it would be charitable in any opponent of railway speculations to set us right. He, of course, can ley his finger on the particular party who suffers by the expenditure necessary to construct a railway ; and can show which of the monsters that beset the path of the monied man swallows his cash without giving it to an one else. The obnoxious party, when once aefed, may run the gauntlet between landowners desirous of seeding produce cheaply to market, and Maanfacturers in want of cheap coals or of raw mate rials. We might add the population of remote dis tricts desirous of being cheaply fed to the list of his foes. Bat until we see him, how can we decide whether he is a moose or a mammoth ? . _ A written answer to the address was headed by Sir George Grey to her Majesty, by whom it was read. It was brief and appropriate ; alter which, theVice-Chancellor, the masters of the several colleges in their order, the bishops prment, end the Hon. C. B. Law, one of the member' forth. university, were presented to her Majeety by His Royal Higbee's the Chancellor, and had the honour to kit hands. The ceremony of presentation being concluded, the Prince and the other officers of the university retired in the same order as they had entered, and her Majesty, attended by her ladies and officers in waiting, proceeded to her apartments, the exit of the royal party being, like their entrance, 'accompanied by the most energeti c ap plause. During the progress of the ceremony there must have beset at least 3,000 persons crowded together in the hall. _ . Tae B.NATI Hoces.—ln the afternoon the Chancellor held a eongregation for the purpose of conferring honorary degrees, at which were present all the distinguished persons who had taken part in the ceremonies at Trinity in the morning, and in addition the Deans of Bristol,Windsor, and Bt. Patrick, and the Bishops of Antigua, Tasmania, and Cape Town. The building was crowded in every part, so much so that, on the arrival of the Chancellor (whose presence was greeted with a repetition of those so:damations of welcome by which he had been greeted in the morning), it was with great diffi culty that a lane through the throng was made to enable him to reach the Chancellor's chair, which was placed on the dais at the upper end of the room, a step below and a little on the left hand of the throne. The Chancellor entered the Senate-house, and in about ten minutes afterwards, after the transaction of some formal business, the cheers of the multitude outside announced the proximity of her /Quigley, who shortly after wards entered, his Royal Rieman; the Chancellor, attended by the bedells, &a., going to meet her, and conduct her to the throne. Her Majesty having taken her seat, the public orator of the university delivered a Lath oration, on intro ducing to the Chancellor the foreign princes and others who were to receive honorary degrees. This oration occupied nearly au hour in the delivery, and so exhausted the patience of the assembly, that long before it was brought to • condo don the most unequivocal eyniptame of )htigne were mani fested.

LOOClterritelilitn, EAST.---Mr. Edward Holland, of Dumbleton, has consented to come forward, on the liberal interest, for this division of the county. A requisition hu been presented to Mr. Holland, and the reason assigned by the requisitionists for contesting the county is " tae position in which the eastern division is placed, in consequence of its having, at the dictation of one family, returned two mem bers, both giving their support to that halting polity whick is now repudiated by every statesman of eminence." Mr. Holland, in his address to the electors, says, " I am ready to come forward on condition that I am not called upon to incur any expenditure in furtherance of my return, beyond that which the law declares shall fall upon a candidate. It must also be clearly understood, that whilst I spare no pains and personal exertions in making my political sentiments fully and generally known througheut the division, I con scientiously abstain from asking any man far his vote." IPSWICH.—On Saturday, Mr. S. L. Fox, the colleague of Mt. Gladstone, publicly stated his determination to retire. Mr. Cobbold, a conservative, and chairman of the Eastern Union Railway Company, is to be a candidate. On the same day Mr. H. Adair addressed a large body of the liberal electors; but considerable disappointment was felt, inas much so Mr. Adair declared himself unfavourable to vote by ballot, and stated that the people were not sufficiently well educated to be entrusted with any further extension of the suffrage at present. These announcements created great surprise and confusion, and added to the political distraction already so prevalent in the borough. KIRKCODIPRIGHTSHIRL.—The Solicitor-General has issued his address, soliciting a renewal of the suffrages of the con stituency. LONOPOILD.—Besides the present representative, Mr. Le froy, two other conservatives, Mr. Fox and Mr. Blackall, are canvassing the constituency. Nor are the liberals mac tive, for it is very confidently stated that Mr. Luke White and Mr. J. N. Vaughan are in the field, and as the lattet would receive the support of the repealers and the Right Rev Dr. O'Higgins, in whose diocese this county is comprised, the liberals will probably succeed. LINLITHOOWEIHIIIE.—The present member it is under stood will withdraw, and Mr. Dundas, teh younger, of Dun das, come forward in his stead. LiviILPOOL. —The Liverpool Mail of Saturday states:— " From all we can learn, Sir Digby Mackworth is in the predicament of a vessel—say a fiat—sunk in very deep water. There is little difficulty in getting at it ; but how to get it up is a different affair. And then comes the question, if it could be got up, is it worth the trouble and the expense ? Sir Howard Douglas has been invited ; but it is extremely problematical whether he will come. The honourable baronet is willing, we believe, to continue his able, untiring, and faithful services to his present constituents, provided he can be the means of restoring unanimity amongst them. But this is impossible in conjunction with Sir Digby Mack worth. If the latter gentleman would retire, Sir Howard Douglas ought to be returned, and would be returned with out a contest. But we apprehend that this arrangement cannot be accomplished ; in which case Sir Howard is not likely to place himself in an unpleasant posi tion to serve the purposes of a party who nominated Sir Digby Mackworth, without fairly and legitimately ascer taining the sentiments of the constitutional electors, without consulting Sir Howard Douglas, and only made me of his honoured name, when they could not help themselves, at the latest moment. It is still asserted, that in case of Sir Howard declining to come forward, Mr. Cardwell will be nominated by the ultra free-traders. How a mere creature of Peel will be received by the independent electors, and the supporter of the Godless colleges in Ireland, by the even gelicel party, is a question which we shall not attempt to answer. But this we can say, that if Sir Howard declines, and Cardwell is proposed with Mackworth, the friends of Lord John Manners will propose that noble lord in oppoei tion to the two latter, and in amity with the friends of Sir Thomas Birch—not that there can be much political affinity between them, although we cannot see why there should be any collision or distracting hostilby, and we know there can be no personal obstruction, but because it is desirable, above all things, to secure for Liverpool the talents, the influence, the liberal sentiments, the unflagging zeal, the accessible habits, and the sterling independence of Lord John Manners. We have reason to know that Lord John Manners has the strongest objection to his name being used in any way cal culated to create disunion in Liverpool, or provoke a contest. This is an honoarable trait in his character. These also are the sentiments of his friends. But inasmuch as Sir Digby Mackworth has been brought forward as a perfectly un known man, except at Exeter Hall, and to Mr. Colquhoun, the late member for Kilmarnock, in so irregular a manner, and Mr. Cardwell is invited to make the ingredients of the mystic cauldron more repulsive, we c3ntend that Lord John Mariners, being really first in the field, is not only fully warranted, but in some measure bound to allow his friends the chance of returning him. This is determined on." Mowstoirtnenien.—The "county election" excites great interest, is consequence of the attempt of the Duke of Beaufort to teat his nominee in preference to Lord Granville Somerset, who voted with the majority of the late ministry for the repeal of the corn-laws. ROXBUROHSTIIR.I.—The Dumfries Herald mentions a rumour that Mr. Balfour, of Whittinghazae, will probably start in opposition to the Hon. Mr. Elliott, for Roxburgh shire. Zbe Court. Their Majesties the King and Queen of the Bel. giam, attended by the Countess Vsnderstraten and Major de 11doerkerke, left Buckingham Palsies, at a q uarter-past sine o'clock yesterday morning, in one of the Queen's carriages and fear for Woolwich, to embark in the Garland, for Ostend. The Queen and Prince Albert, attended by the ladies and gentlemen of th r royal househol d in waiting, took leave of their input visitors at the garden entrance of the palace. Their Majesties the King and - Queen of the Belgians visited and took leave of the Duchess of Gloucester, on Sun. day, at Gloucester House, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, at Cambridge House. The Queen and Prince Albert, attended by the royal suite, left town at half-past ten o'clock yesterday morning fer Cambridge. The royal party occupied three open carriages and four. A party of lancers formed the escort from Buckingham Palace to the Tottenham station of the Eastern Counties Railway. The Hereditary Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar, attended by Count de Beast, left Marlborough House, at half-past eight o'clock yesterday morning, for Cambridge. Her Majesty the Queen Dowser, accompanied by the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Saxe Weimar, and at tended by her suite, left Marlborough House, at twelve o'clock yesterday, for her residence, Bushy House, Bushy Park. The Countess of Amenburg was in attendance on the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Sue Weimar. Prince Peter of Oldenburg visited her Majesty the Queen Dowager, on Sunday, at Marlborough House.

THE JOURNEY.—The directors of the FAatern Comities Railway, determined not to par unimproved such an oppor tunity of signalising their line, and of placing it on a level with the other great trunk lines of the kingdom, as that which the first royal journey on it fairly afforded them, made the most strenuous and elaborate preparations for the safe and speedy transmission of Queen Victoria and her censor, to Cambridge. The station at Tottenham, to which her Majesty preferred repairing rather than traverse the gloomy resorts of the Spitalfields weavem, was gaily decorated in anticipa tion of the royal visit. An entirely new pavilion ( Tory, of course) was constructed for the reception of he= jesty and the Prince Chancellor ; and the wings of this Arma ture, and the two sides of the corridor through which Queen Victoria passed to the railway carriage, were crowded with elegantly attired ladies. The space reserved for the royal cortege of guards and carriages was decorated with flags lent for the parpose by order of the Board of Admiralty. The most perfect order was preserved, and great hilarity, aided by the fineness of the weather, prevailed. The royal carriage, which woe built expressly for this occasion, wee brought forward to its appointed station for the reception of the Queen at • quarter put eleven. It is in the form of a most elegant and convenient saloon, lined throughout with blue satin, and furnished simply with two fauteuils and a couch placed at the opposite extremities of the vehicle. For this auspicious occasion the secretary oldie Eastern Counties Railway provided some elegant bouquets, and a beautifully bound map of the counties traversed during the jour ney, the line of rail being marked out. A guard of honour furnished bT the West Essex Yeomanry Cavalry, awaited the Queen's arrival. The detachment was commanded by Capt. Palmer, the son of one of the members for the county. lib. Hudson, M.P., chairman of the Eastern Counties railway, accompanied by Messrs. Gibbs, Waddington, Anderson, and Sheriff Kennard, directors of the same, and attended by Messrs. Roney and Duncan, the secretary and solicitor, ar rived shortly after 11 o'clock. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort, with their snits and escort, reached the station at twenty minutes past 11 ; and, without any delay, the Queen and Prince took their seats in the carriage prepared for them, the Duchess of Bath e Mires of the Robes, going in the carriage with theZt ompla. It is perhaps an act of justice to state that when ler - Majesty alighted from her travelling carriage, and was received at the door of the Pavilion by Mr. Hudson and the &restore of the line, she addressed a few words of gracious sesespthion to the chairman, and the Prince also made his mdtmewledgments for the spm'al preparations made for the royal reception. The signal for departure was then given, although it wanted nine minutes of the time appointed for the commencement of the transit. The precautions . and programme set down for observance by the officers of the company, and already detailed in the Express of yesterday, were strictly adhered to; a pilot engine preceded the royal train ; then came the train bearing with it the personage in whom are concentrated the love and reverence of three kingdoms; the driver, to whose care the royal train was confided, is named W. Young, and he was especially selected for this duty by reason of lsu character for sobriety and care, a fact, which entitles him to notice. The train pared swiftly and smoothly over the ground, making a short stay at Bishop's Stortford (to take in water) and thence being wafted steadily and without the slightest hindrance to the station at Cambridge. The whole line of route was crowded with rustics mingled at intervals with gentry and the farmers of the districts traversed. The population, no less than the fields which they momeetarily ceased to cultivate, bore a smiling and peaceful upset, end the luxuriant appearance of the gram and wheatlends elm siderably added te the pluming character of the j On the arrival of the royal train at the Cambridge on, mis Zti the Queen and her consort were received by the seepeation of the town, who were in waiting, attended by their beadles with maws, and in their robes ; the mayor, Mr. Browns, and the chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Carus, =ied by the aldermen and town-councillors in their black robes, formed in prooession, and preceded the ein which her Majesty and Prince Albert, with the Dna= of Sutherland, were seated. Four other royal gerrieses, containing Prince Waldemar and his suite, and the Queen's ministers, lords in waiting, and other attendants, headed the procession, which, thus formed, proceeded at a walking pace from the railway station to Trinity College, the lot ghee to which it was arranged the Queen should repair, se therein are contained the royal apartments, reserved by right of the reigning monarch, and there, of course, the nye servants had made their preparations for her Majesty. The progress from the railway station to Trinity College was deemed by some a trial of patience to Olean Victoria; the distance traversed was about a mile and a half; the sun was beaming hotly down upon the 'wine containing her Majesty and the Priem. The streets extending from the railway station to Trinity College gate were decorated with flags, devices executed in Sewers and evergreens, and every window and public Wal ks was thronged with well-dressed persons, chiefly ladiree. The sem resembled nothing so much as that whisk wee to Queen Victoria on her entrance into Heirs in year 1843, 1843, and the reminiscence of this may, _per rde.,r have been revived by the circumstance/ that Cam was the first plate in England visited by her Mni.sty after her Mane from Belgium in that year.

Within the hall in which the reseptlas wee to take piss all was comparatively quiet, until &only before the approach of the royal party—the body of the build ing being closed until the arrival of the Chancellor. But those amongst the female visitors who were sufficiently fortunate to command the interest of the Vise-Chancellor and the Master were admitted, to the number of some 60 or 60, to en orchestra or gallery at one end of the hall, wherein they were amply compensated for the loss of the pageant out of doors, by shelter from the weather, and a most com manding view of the ceremo of the reception and pre sentation. Here, also, the te dium of waiting was relieved by a rummer refection, consisting of ices, wines, fruits, Le. The first important arrival was the Duke of Wellington, who entered the college some time before the royal party reached Cambridge. The reception of his grace was enthu sheltie in the extreme, and it war not a little amusing to see hundreds of the university men, of all degrees and of all ogee, running-despite the encumbrance of their robes—front one side of Trinity quadrangle to the other to assist in the welcome.

He appealed to the clergy of the established church to give up the church catechism, and unite with the dissenter under the British and Foreign School banner, confiding the religious instruction of the pupils to the pastors of the respective denominations. CHLOHIRIE, NORTIL—The Macclesfield Chronicle says : "A select meeting of the electors of the northern division, convened by circular, was held at Chelford, on Thursday, for the purpose of making arrangements for the approaching election. The coalitionists had it all their own way. Whigs and varies having agreed to sink their differences fur the nooce, 'their unanimity_ was wonderful ' in regard to the propriety of electing Mr. Tattoo Egerton sad the Right Hen. B. J. Stanley. The only parties who opposed the coalition were three gentlemen from the Hyde district, who gave it as their opinion that, from the state of the register, it was quite possible to carry two liberals." Cues.—Major Maenamma, M.P. for Clare, will again offer himself for that constituency. He avows himself a repealer. The " younger " members of that body, however, look upon the gallant major as " no better than • whig," and se they are not without some influence in Clare, it is probable that a conservative will be encouraged to start. Coax.—The official announcement states that Dr. Power was returned on Thursday evening, having a majority of 261. The conservatives say they will contest the county again at the general election. Friday.—The polling continued up to the usual hour, and, after the sub-sheriff announced the state of the poll, he mid that Mr. Leader having formally resigned, he had to declare Dr. Power to be duly elected. (Greet shooting.) Mr. Shea said t h at though the sheriff had announced Mr. Leader's tion, and had declared Dr. Power duly elected, he, r ist i rpart of Dr. Power's committee, begged to say that they were no assenting parties to the declaration, and they would keep the booths open, to give the electors an oppor tunity of registering their votes. After some speeches were delivered, Mr. Daniel Lucy, of Macroom, spoke on the question of the tenant-right, but in a strain so impas. sioned, that " the boys." not understanding his peculiarities, recommended him to the services of Father Mathew.—Mr. Brennan then came forward, and said he wee sorry to hear that Mr. Smith O'Brien had come to sow dissension in the county.

Let me show that the object of both parties is the same (hissing, and trim " No," and " Yes").—Mr. Downing : For God's sake avoid the subject; allude to something else.—Mr. Brennan then proceeded to make a long speech on the repeal of the union, and said that O'Connell still ruled them from his Liberator," thenwewrehiciia rush took given for Powe r lace ior and the oo the After a row between the Old and . ?onnsg Inlanders in the eourt, on Thursday evening, a gallant half pay captain, thinking himself in duty bound to react the insult offered to " Yam Ireland," abruptly addressed Town Councillor CAW on the steps of the court, and told him if he wits the father of the young gentleman who was in terrupted damn in a perilous position by Councillor Collins, that be should have cudgelled his brains out.

DUBLIN, Jun' 4. At a meeting of the Chemico Agricultural Society of taster various statements were read relative to the =crop. They were of a conflicting character. insisting that the blight had re-appeared, while others repudiated its existence. Dr. Kirkpatrick, principal of the Templemoyle school, heard nothing of the infection in his neighbourhood, while another doctor had seen several instances of disease, especially in the produce of French seed. Mr. Andrews, of Comber, an eminent agriculturist, stated the results of his observation, that in the tender descriptions there had commenced a discolouration in the stem, and that, notwithstanding the progress lately made by the more forward shoots, the plants to which he referred had made no progress. He did not undertake to may that it was the disease of last year, though there had been unmistakeable cases of that description in his neigh bourhood. Dr. Hodges, an able agricultural chemist, confirmed the general views of Mr. Andrews. Fever continues to make rapid progress, but with a diminution of the virulent symptoms which charac terised its first appearance. In Belfast, the number of patients in the fever hospitals on Friday night was 1,902. The mortality has decreased, the weekly deaths amounting to 90, being much less than in the preceding week. In Galway fever is very prevalent ; and in limerick 40 patients were received in one day into the fever hospital, at a fee of ss. per head to the medical officers. With respect to Belfast, it is not improbable that the mitigated character of the disease is in a large degree owing to the sanitary effects of the recently opened baths and wash-houses in tha active town. Ia corroboration of this opinion I find that within the last week 581 males and 72 females of the humble classes used the baths, and in the same time 983 individuals of the same ekes made see of the wash-house, deterring 3,184 articles of dims. The total receipts of the baths and wash. houses for the week were 141. Bs. 81d. The hiAt Solicitor-General, should he again solicit • comidieeney, has no chance of Limerick.
