A late edition of the Palmas is published every evening during the racing season, containing the results of the day's races. Ar a time when the amount of our exports to one or two of the markets we have hitherto chiefly relied on is threatened with serious diminution, it is peculiarly agreeable to find new and promising outlets opening for the products of our industry. When old customers grow parsimonious or poor, the trader consoles himself with the prospect of honest gain derivable from recently formed con nexions ; and if, as he notes the steady growth of his business, he sees reason to believe that those who have recently come to deal with him liked the first samples they have had of his goods, and every month take more and more of them, he naturally and justly reckons upon the continuance and a steady extension of transactions in which both parties are likely to find their account. This is our case just now with our French neighbours, who, thanks to the Commercial Treaty, have for the first time been brought during the present year to look at a variety of English goods they had never seen before. As everyone is aware, all the provisions of the Treaty did not come into opera tion at the same time. Those regarding metals, whether in the raw state or manufactured, were the earliest to of stain legal force ; while such as re late to textile fabrics were practically suspended until Midsummer, and others until Michaelmas. No general estimate consequently could be formed of the working of industrial intercourse between the two countries under the new system during the greater portion of the present year. In point of fact it is only now that wo can fairly be said to be about to begin the experiment of Free-trade with France in good earnest ; and all that has hitherto taken place must be regarded as no better than trying to do business through a half-open door. Notwithstanding all these drawbacks and disadvantages, however, what do we see! Compar ing the month of September, 1860, with the cor responding month of 1861, we are equally surprised and gratified with the amount of British exports to France respectively made in them. In September last year the money value of these transactions was 470,0001. ; the same month of this year it has reached the sum of 1,530,000/. Of this it is true that somewhere about half a million must be written off to the credit of wheat and'flour, and, as such, may be regarded as exceptional in its cha racter. But the gratifying result remains, that in articles of manufacture our exports to France in the course of the single month of September this year were more than double what they were in the corresponding period of last year. But this is not all. The total value of what we sold to our French neighbours in the first nine months of 1860 was 3,730,000/. ; the total value of our sales to our friends across the Channel in the first nine months of the present year has been within a fraction of Six Millions sterling. If, as wo have said, this be done in the grown tree, what may not be hoped in the dry Nur are we without information cilium'', which at once explains and confirms these gratifying figures. Throughout the manufacturing districts, but more especially in the West Riding of York shire, employers are beginning to find that the new openings with France have come just in time to afford a certain amount of compensation for the partial closing of the American market. We could name more than one great establishment in the woollen trade whose hands are at the present moment as busy as ever they were, and whose prosperity is referable altogether to the prac tical transfer of shipments from Now York and New Orleans to Havre and Marseilles. It will of course take time before this can become general. The middle and working classes must not only see in shop windows • variety of unaccustomed fabrics of utility marked at a low price, but they must feel the comfort of them in every-day wear, ' before they can be expected to look for them regularly, as our war-stricken cousins beyond the ocean have long been accustomed to do. But considering the time it takes to introduce new habits of clothing among any people, and above all among • fastidious and fanciful race like our' good friends the French, it does seem to us, we own, highly satisfactory that so much progress should already have been made. The returns of the Board of Trade attest, moreover, that this pro gress has been not in half-a-dozen branches of manufacture, which might be supposed to be the result of experimental speculation, but it is made up of a number of items of the greatest diversity of character, size, and value. In a word, the expansion has about it all the marks and tokens of a natural and healthful growth of the whole tree of industry, and has nothing about it of • mere top-heavy or lop-sided graft upon an uucungenial stock. It will be contrary to all our past experience of trade with other communities if an enlarged intercourse thus cautiously and wisely begun does not in due time reams the prognostics of those who paved the way for it. And then there is the other side of the question. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY To buy from us the French must sell more than they have hitherto done ; while if we sell to them more than we were wont to do, we are certain to buy more than we did of those pleasant and beautiful things which we aro now enabled to get cheaper than wo did before. The French Protec tionists are said to bo making a last effort to frighten the Imperial Government against tho com pletion of its Treaty engagements with ours. But the Eel Enos is not a man to be turned aside by the cabals of a few intriguing capitalists, who, he well knows, would sacrifice with a laugh or a shrug his permanent reputation or present popularity to secure forthemselves another year's extra per centage on their investments. We cannot help observing that M. Rouuza, the enlightened and courageous Minister of Commerce with whom mainly Mr. Cosux had to negotiate the details of the Treaty, and without whose firmness, candour, and clearness of conception the negotiation could hardly have been brought so soon to a close, is just now absent from Paris, which does not look as if any modification of policy were likely to take place in his department. We are quite sure that his' views have undergone no alteration, but that on the contrary ho continues to look forward san guinely to the creation of reciprocal benefits to the two nations from the groat work in which he has borne so honourable a share, and also to the speedy recognition by his countrymen of the true value of that work. Every man, indeed, in France who is intelligent and independent enough to look at French industry as a whole, must feel that an increased market for French goods in England would be more than ever desirable in consequence of the diminution of exports to An-erica, and under the peculiar circumstances of the French money market, caused by the need of vast im portations of grain. PROVIDENcL has given France an abundant vintage, to compensate in some measure for the failure of the corn crop ; and with an additional export of cheap wines the will be all the better able to pay for her increased imports. Truly the suspension of the Corn Laws and the lowering of her tariff have come not a day too soon. It is tho glory of Free Trade that it provides means of relief for exceptional pressure, no matter whence or how arising. The last time France had a thoroughly bad grain harvest she ' opened her ports for corn, but she d;d not lower her tariff, or obtain the lowering of tariffs from other nations in her favour, with a view to obtain the means of paying for her additional imports of corn. Louis Put ? Jere governed by and through the borere.ruisir, and dared not offend • Chamber of which they were the electors. The masses fell out of work, out of humour, and out of patience. The winter of 1847-8 was severe, and they had neither cheap food, cheap fuel, nor cheap clothing ; and before the winter was over the throne of political and coninnrcial monopoly was overturned and sold for fire-wood. NAIVLEI,N 111. is too wine to repeat his predecessor's great mistakes. Cbt Court. WINDSOR CISI'LF, Ocr. 29.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THE HUNGARIAN CLERGY AND THE AUSTRIAN GOVERNMENT, THE ARCHBISHOP'S PROTEST. The followings a translation of the letter which bait just been addressed by the Cardinal Prince Primate to the Chancellor of Hungary : Excellency,—By your honoured official communication, dated October 18, 1861, No. 15,014, you invite me to inform you up to what limit the corps of functionaries of the eomitat confided to my direction as hereditary Obergespen will be disposed to contribute to the recruiting; and in case of the comitat's refusal in this matter, up to what extent 1, as Obergespan, intend to contribute to the levy of recruits, and what are the steps which I propose or intend to take to attain this object. Guided by my unshaken fidelity and attachment for his Majesty, our Lord and King, and not less for my dear country, I feel compelled, in respect to this invitation, to declare sincerely and conscientiously that which in the prevent unfortunate' circumstances, and after mature reflection, I believe good, useful, and just, not only as a true citizen and faithful subject, but also ea chief of the church of this country, always ready to give au account of his actions and counsels before the tribunal of the just and eternal Judge. Supposing that the corps of functionaries of my comitat, agreeably to the legal relations which have subsisted for centuries between them and the community of the co mitat, and which have been re-established after an interrup tion of eleven years, by the diploma of Oct. 20, 1860, execute, as the legal expression of that community, all that the latter decides, and, consequently, are regulated by it concerning the recruiting, and also the deci sions of the general assembly, I do not hesitate a moment— however difficult it may be to say beforehand what will be the decisions of the general assembly, in view of the public opinion which is the regrettable consequence of our un happy situation, in view of the irritation resulting from the visible dangers to our constitutional life—to declare that the community of my comitat, which has always hitherto striven to avoid conflicts which are dangerous to the public welfare, not only will not order its functionaries to co operate in the recruiting, but will even directly prevent them from doing so. Our situation is extraordinary; it does not resemble that of Ita.3, whets, in an isolated case, the comitats could content themselves for the defence of national rights with a solemn protest, for we are not now concerned with an exceptional case. To-day the national right relative to the vote of the military contingent and the imposts, a right guaranteed by innumerable laws and royal oaths, not only is questioned, but directly denied. Ido sot believe that the country, and, therefore, my comi tat, will voluntarily renounce, in consenting in an extra legal manner to the collection of imposts and to the recruit ing, the principal guarantees of its constitutional r, , ydne, and that it would or could justify thus the denial of right. And all this is not from arrogance, from a separatist ' tendency, monsieur ; for of myself I can guarantee the fidelity and the attachment of my nation to the King, while 1 can also guarantee that it does not wish to rend the tie by which it was fraternally united in the person of the King, under the maintenance of its auto nomy,witb the hereditary provinces in goad and evil fortune. As I have said, it is not arrogance or a separatist tendency that anicates us ; it is the sentiment of right and its natural consequence, self defence. I, who have been and am always ready by fidelity to my King and attachment to my c.matry, not only to offer my aid to the sacred work of conciliation, but also to maks sacrifices—l, who do not wish to leave a bitter remembrance in the heart of my King and my fellow-citizens, and who at the advanced age at which I have attired would consider the meet for tunate day of my life that on which confidence be tween the King and the nation should triumph—l am forced to declare to your Excellency that I do not know the extra-legal issue which permits me to lend my co-operation in the pending questions ; for while I have the duty not only of presiding over the general assemblies but also of guiding their deliberations, yet I have neither the right nor the means of doing them violence. If at the present moment, when the forced col lection of duties has raised cries of grief in the country ; when the comae., are the passive wit nesses and victims of the violence and the persecution directed against our constitution by the collectors of the imposts ; when the nation, deprived of the hope of a means of constitutional conciliation, groans at the dissolution of the Diet ; when the public administration is paralysed by the dissolution of the comitats ; if, at this moment the ministry finds it good to exact recruits and imposts, I do not believe that that exaction can bear agreeable fruits. Ida not believe that the young soldier who has joined in weeping at the executions of which his parents have been the vie:3ms, offers a sufficient guarantee to the King. I do not believe that the comitats dissolved, and reorganised, perhaps, contrary to the laws can represent in their functions, and therefore n the levy ing of the imposts and recruits, the consenting wili of the public, and I do not believe that it would be prudent to trifle loot; with the sentiments, the hopes, and the rights of the people. My advice, who have not been asked as prelate and as chief of the church at the time when these questions of urgent importance have been discussed, is summarised, now that actual deeds are in question, as follows: Let his Majesty our King, rejecting all anti-national influence and influence opposed to our laws, deign to put himself in direct communication with the country, and, Repairing in our midst, address the nation with sincere words, which would dissipate the fears for the constitution, and would permit the earliest possible re-s•eembling of the Diet ; let the unhappy state of things arising from the dissolution of the comitats be changed, which cannot be until the elections for the Diet, now so eagerly awaited; let the questions of impost and recruiting be adjourned until the meeting of the Diet, fixed for the earliest possible period, and let a stop be put meanwhile to the forced collection of the taxes. Oo these conditions I will boldly guarantee that the country, which will see its rights recognised and the complications about to be removed, will be disposed as ever in its proved fidelity towards the King and in regard to the necessities of the state, to grant all that his Majesty can legally demand. I Consider it au indispensable duty tc submit all those things to your &willowy, in order that 1 may not one day be accused of silence—in order that I hive not even the semblance of being indifferent to the dangers of the dynasty and of the state, for which I have ever been reedy to make the greatest sacrifice., and declare myself ready at this moment to ►ppear in the presence of his Majesty, with the dignitaries, obergespans . and notabilities of the country, to submit to him verbary the present statement.—ltoceive, Oran, Oct. 21. JILIN SCITOWtIItY, M.P. It has been airway stated, in a tolugram from Vienna, that the Cardinal Primate has been sum moned to thu capital to explain and justify the above circular to the Emperor. AUSTRIA. The Vienna oa:ette of the 26th inst. announces the safe arrival of her Majesty the Empress of Austria at Venice. The Emperor, on his return to Vienna, paid a visit to the canal and fortifications of Cattaro, which have been erected on a large scale during the present your. They are constructed with a view not only to resist an attack from the sea, but also against an incursion of the Monte negrins. There are, moreover, mountain batteries, drawn by mules. These measures of precaution (says the Press of Vienna) are by no mesas un necessary, for the Mouteuegrins have become very arrogant, and a territory on the Adriatic is the least they strive fur. They nearly succeeded in seizing upon the fortress of Nebel, which the Turks had completely neglected. The Turks are all in • miserable condition, the towns have the appearance of deserted villages, discontent prevails everywhere, and flourishing Albania is defenceless. ITALY. A Parin letter in the IneMpendasee says : The story has been revived here that negotiations are to take place on tho question of Venetia, awl that the coin• perm ions offered to Austria, in case she should consent to cede that province, would be taken from the vassal pro vinces of the Porte, and especially from those in which the EVENING, OCTOBER 30, 1861. Sultan hu great difficulty in maintaiuing his suzerainty ; but nothing precise is known u to the means of executing such a plan, and, moreover, very little hope of its sooner is entertained. As to Rome, the rumour of a negotiation being opened on the question of Venetia proven that the French ownpatiou of that city is to be maintained for an indefinite period. Baron Ricaaoli gave a grand dinner the day before yesterday to M. Benedetti, the representa tive of France at Turin. The Italic of the 28th states that on Saturday last Father Eassaglia was received by Baron Rica soli, who held a long conversation with him. The reverend father had previously had an interview with his friend M. Celestino Bianchi, director general of a section of the Rome-office. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) RECOGNITION OF THE KINGDOM OF ITALY BY BELGIUM. TURIN, Ocr. 29, EVENING. The Opinions of to-day publishes a telegram from Brussels announcing that the Belgian govern ment has recognised the kingdom of Italy. RUSSIA. BERLIN, Ocr. 29. Letters received here from St. Petersburg, dated the 25th inst., announce that fresh conflicts took place between the authorities and the students at the re-opening of the university. Seven hundred students applied for re-admission, and on the 24th instant demanded that those students who had not received a card of admission should nevertheless be admitted into the uni versity. Fresh tumults thereupon ensued in the university buildings, resulting in the interference of the military. The students made an active resistance ; 200 of them were arrested. One student was wounded. It is not thought that this conflict will lead to the reclosing of the university. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Ocr. 29. Reports are current in financial circles in this city that Messrs. Rothschild are negotiating with the Prussian Bank for the conclusion of a financial operation by which the Bank of France would re ceive 15,000,000 of thalers in silver. . . The reports do not state how far these negotia tions have at present succeeded. TURKEY. RAGI'SA, Ocr. 29. News from Moetar reports that the Turks have suffered great loss in their recent conflicts with the insurgents. The latter are advancing against Popovo. Turkish reinforeetueuts are being despatched to Trebigne. SWITZERLAND. BERNE, Ocr. 29. France has accepted the propoMal of the Federal Council that a fresh inquiry should be made into the affair at Ville la-Grand by a mixed commission appointed for that purpose. THE BRAZIL MAIL. LISBON, Oct. 29. The Royal Mail steam-slip Tyne, with the above mail, has arrived here, and will leave for Southamp ton at 1 p.m., with 93 passengers, 119,2381. in specie, 1,530 bags of ooffee, 500 rolls of tobacco, and 250 packages of tapioca. At Rio, on the 9th inst., exchange on London was quoted 25k to 23g. Coffee, good first, 6,100 to 6,300. Shipments for the Channel since last mail, 40,700 bags. Stock, 120,000 bags. Freight, 45a. to 55a. Exchange at Bahia was quoted 254. Nothing was doing in the cotton market. Sugar, whites, 2,700 to 2,800 ; browns, 2,000 to 2,050. Tobacco, 5,800 to 6,000. At Pernambuco, exchange waa 24. Sugar, whites, 4,000 to 4,200 ; browns, 1,900 to 2,000. Cottons, 9,400. THE srArs or "was. "We can guarantee," says the Sielde, " the truth of the following anecdote related to us by ► most respectable French gentleman recently returned from Venice. A French ecclesiastic of some note happening to p.m through Venice, hail reason to complain of the usual annoyances inflicted on travellers by the Austrian police with regard to pasmorts, no matter what pains may have been taken to have them perfectly err rifile. On making his complaint, the clerk at the pass port-office thought proper to consider himself insulted by the ecclesiastic, who had spoken somewhat boldly in his presence, and accordingly bad him arrested awl lodged in prison. Here lie was kept two days before he coeld communicate with the French Con. sul. These two days afforded the prisoner an opportunity of seeing with his 011.1 eyes many things which he would previously have declared impossible. He found himself in the midst, of Hungarian•, who were eon. fined for no other reason than their nationality. There was also • Venetian lady with a sucking child, who had been arrested because she refused to discover the name of the person through whom she hail remitted money to her exiled husband. Several ladies, her friends. had for some time vainly endeavours-di to obtain permission to visit her. At last they were admitted, but found themselves likewise detained as prieoner4, and were informed that they would be liberated on paying each 1,00 or 1,213 florins, we me not certain which. We need hardly say that the French . Consul immediately procured the release of our countryman, who was satisfied with merely insisting that the clerk who had fancied himself insulted should sign • formal pure .e.rerbal acknowledging his ignomace of the French language, and that he had not understood a single word the ecclesiastic hal said to him. All comment on this little incident of life in Venice would be superflous." " It is now nearly certain," says a Berlin letter, "that the fixed bridge over the Rhioe will be built at Due• melded, which place has bees fixed on in consequence of the line of railway running to it." The Palace of Kienigeberg, which has not been hitherto much inhabited, is about to be repaired and put in • state to receive any members of the royal family that may feel inclined to go there. An annual sum of 30,000 thalers has been allotted for the repairs. The Duke d'Oporto mud the Duke de Beja, brothers of the Kiag of Portug►l, who were present at the coronation of the King of Prussia, are expected in Paris in the early part of November. A Warsaw letter of the 24th, in the Wanderer of Vieona, says :—" Among the persons struck without any cause on the 10th was au Englishman, named Mitchel, who, by appealing to the diplomatic representatives of his coon. try, might probably have caused the Russian government some embarrassment. The military authorities seem to _ _ have thought so, for they meet after Mr. Mitchel, who had left the town, a special =meager to apologise for the treat ment he had received." "In Russia," says the Dresden Journal, " some nobles possess from 70,000 to upwards of 1C),000 serfs. Count Schermelyeff, who is considered the wealthiest noble in the country, is the owner of 120,000, and some of those , men are themselves wealthy. The count's revenue is estimated at 6,250,000 fr. per annum. Each serf pays his master 10 or 15 roubles a year, so that the possessor of 100,000 serfs cannot have a revenue of less than 4,000,000 fr, without counting what he derives from forests, mills, manufactories, lie. The total number of serfs now in Romig, exceeds 74,000,000, and calculating each to be worth only .t roubles (1,250 fr.), the lose which emancipation will occasion to owners cannot be inferior to 26,750,000,000 fr. Assuming interest on capital in Russia to be 5 per coot., the loss of annual revenue to the nobles will not be lower than 1,675,000,000 ft, which is more than double the interest of the English national debt." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (non on owl PARIS, 'ruzzipsy EVilfll4o. A most amusing political comedy is now going on in France. The government allows the govern ment journals to quarrel about Rome just as if they were in earnest, and just as if the public would care a brass farthing about any of their opinions, except so far as they may be supposed to be not their owu. On Sunday the Pattie (whose absorption by M. de la Guerronniare is now freely spoken of even by the most timid) sought to put M. Grandguillot into a fix by quoting a passage which he wrote in October, 1860, in favour of the temporal power, and asked triumphantly whether the sentiment would now bo disavowed. "Oh !" replies K Grandguillot, from his now desk in the office of the Pays, " the question is not sufficiently precise. If you mean it for the Constitutionnel, I am no longer the editor of that journal, and it is not for me to answer ; but if you address yourself to me personally, I have no hesitation in saying that I never retract on one day what I have written the day before." Thus M. Grandguillot, in his character of editor of the Pays, whose proprietors are the proprietors of the Consti tutionnel, throws upon the latter journal the responsibility of differing with anything which he may have said in its columns. Well, the Constitutions/el, under Dr. Veron, who the other day was appointed by the government to succeed Grandguillot, dismiased,and appointed by the same government to the direction of the Constitaiiemnd branch establishment, the Pays, does take up the gauntlet and declares that "if the hope of saving the temporal power was permissible in October, 1860, it has become chimerical in October, 1861." Upon this the Pattie, whose doctrines unfortunately are in accordance with the Emperor's recent conduct, if not with K de la Guerronnihre's inspiration, bitterly reproaches the Constitutionnel with having " openly abandoned the policy of transition so energetically maintained by the im perial government," and having ranged itself under the flag of the &irk and Opinion Nationale. What an instance this is of the imperial system of patro nising double currents of opinion. I defy anyone to say which of the two diametrically opposite views of the most important questions in Europe now respectively promulgated by different sets of the Emperor's paid servants and creatures is the one that he means to abide by. A very funny account in the Charirati of the installation of Dr. Veron in the office of the Con stitutionnel, written in dog Latin and broken French, after the manner of Moliere, contains the following truly comic passage : Y. Grandguillot, in deep mourning, brings the editorial pan, upon a silver tray, and presents it to Dr. Verna, saying : "Ave doctor, mini qui est & gommd to ealutat." Now that the semi-official journals have all at once become " independent as well as devoted," their "latest news" must be naturally expected to be more unreliable and misleading than ever. The Pays says to-night that there is " no truth what ever" in the rumour that negotiations are opened on the subject of Venetia. But the Pa trie, more cautious, insinuates that there may be something in the story, after all, speaking as follows : It is possible that diplomacy may one day be in a posi tion to attack this important question ; but we believe we know that up to the present time it hay not been the object of any negotiations with the court of Vienna. I suopose the independence of the devoted journals consists materially in the permission to transpose and re-word goverwuout communications of a secondary order. According to a letter from Berne in the Correa pondance Bullier, the news that France has asked fur a "rectification" of the Swiss frontier, though true, is not alarming, even as a precedent. It ap pears that some shepherds, having removed some ancient landmarks to get a little more grazing land, the federal council has consented to mark out a defined boundary line iu accordance with a proposal of the French government. The Bourse has sustained a further fall. The Route declined Isc. for cash a4d 20c. for account, closing at 67fr. 80c. and 67fr. 75c., which were not quite the lowest prices of the day. Mobilier fell Mr. 75c., and the Italian Loin, 55fr.—a very heavy depreciation. Railways were fully from 2fr. 50c. to sfr. lower. (FROY LAWr NIGHT'S GAZETTE.)

(decime included). A Turin letter of Saturday says :—" M. Lessepa was here yesterday. He tells all whom it may concern that the great work of the Suez Canal is proceeding with great activity, notwithstanding the obstacles and difficulties thrown in its way. Within eight months he assures us he will be able to float a boat on the blended waters of the Red and Mediterranean seas from mid to end, and in six yeses the canal will have depth enough for large steamers, and even for the Great Eastern itself. What ground there may be for these bright anticipations I know not, but it is certain that any man expressing misgiving as to the final results of H. Lesseps' enterprise is looked upon as little better than a heretic in this country. The Italians consider themselves too strongly interested in the success of the Suez Canal scheme to allow any abatement in their enthu siastic confidence." PLYMOUTH ELECTION.-(THIS DAY.)

The usually silent courts of the Middle Temple are quite alive just now with the hum of preparation for the ceremonial which is to take place to-morrow. The benchers are sparing neither trouble nor expense to do twofer honour to the occasion, and to accommodate all who have claims to be present. The demand for tickets has been much greater than was anticipated, for members of the society are coming up from all parte of the country, and as the hall, spacious as are its proportions, would not contain a third of the expected company, the whole area of Faun. tam -court has been included in a handsome pavilion, which ought to accommodate pretty nearly 500 guests. In tho small garden round the fountain :treacles of evergreens and other floral decorations have been raised, and when illu. minted by the lime light it will no doubt be a much (re. quented promenade at the evening conrergazionc. New arrangementa have been made, too, for lighting the interior of the hall, which will show off the fine oak ceiling and panelling to the greatest advantage. The library is pretty nearly finished; the workmen are just giving the last touches to the staircase and the heraldic designs outside ; while inside the books are in their places, and all is ready for opening. Accenting to the published programme, when the Prince at elves at 2 o'clock he will be fist conducted to the parliament chamber, which occupies the site of the old library, where he will be called to the bar and elected a bencher, and hence the benchers, with their illustrious brother, will go in procession to the library, and open it in due form. The terrace from the hall to the library has been covered in with an awning, which seems au unnecessary precaution, particularly as it will rob many people of the only chance they would have of catching a glimpse of his royal highness from the windows of the chambers of Garden-court. The distance is short, and the side space limited, so that • very small propor tion of the company will be able to get places along the line, and the awning will cut off all view from above. In the library an address will be presented to the Prince, after which there will be • short service in the Temple Church, fur which a special form of prayer hat been drawn up by the Master. The dijatner in the hall and pavilion follows, and at 6 o'clock there will be a conrersa:tone in the new library. A guard of honour of 80 rank and file of the Inns of Court Volunteers, under the command of Captain Lyslie and Lieutenant Babington, will be on duty to receive his royal highness.

FCNERAL OF SIR JAMES GRAHA3L—TIIO remains of the late Sir James Graham will be interred this day (Wednesday) at Arthuret Church, at eleven o'clock. The funeral is to be strictly private, in compliance, we believe, with the expressed wish of the late right hon. baronet. We understand that it is not likely that even his most lutist:ea. political associates will be present, and that the members of the deceased's own family—Sir F. Graham, Lady Her. mione Graham, Mr. M. Graham, Mrs. Baring, Captain S. Graham, and Miss Graham—will alone take part in the melancholy ceremony. We observe that the Mayor has re quested that the 'hoped the city be closed between the horns of eleven and two on Wednesday, and we feel assured that oar citizens will be anxious to pay the mark of respect thus suggested to the memory of their late representative.— Carlisle Journal.
