The demand for them hos tal:en off, and prices are not ;:up ortt KoJ.ish Kidu,ys are selling at 3/ 5. to 41 55; Regents, 31 10i to 4/ lt./.; and Shaws. 3/ to 41 per ton. Foreign Potatoes may be q:toted at from 2 15, to 31 lOs per ton. WOOL. R tther a large quantity of Wool has been disposed of at public sale during the past week. A few of the inferior qu.lities have not changed hands, but nearly the whole of the finest parcels have been disposed of at extreme prices. Privately there is rather more inquiry for British Wools, hut we have no material change to notice in value. Since this day se'nnight the imports have amounted to 88 bales from Hamburgh, 112 from Cronstadt, 73 from Callao, 169 from St. Petersburgh, 50 from Naples, 31 from Antwerp, 292 from Bombay, 85 from Port Philip, 1,293 from Adekide, 1,001 from Sydney, and 1,388 from Portland Biy. MONEY and CoeilivitliclAL NEWTS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at about 5,000 bales, including 500 American on Fp ec uhti on and 500 for export., 4,000 American realised 43-4. to 6id., 100 Pernam and Maranham sid. t > CI, and 300 Sum t 3 1. to 4,id. per lb. The market was firm.—ln Railway Shares but little business was done. The Grain Market in Mark-lane is steady to-day for most articles. Notice has been given this morning from the General Post-office that letters may be sent to Belgium, directed viii France, either paid or unpaid, but that is future the Bri ish rate alone cannot be received. The full payment is le. 3d. per half-ounce. The progress of mining industry in South Australia has been so constant that the accounts received from time to time scarcely meet from the public at large the attention they merit, and even the recent difficulties that have occurred have been well surmounted. The fourth annual report of the South Australian Mining Association, made to the shareholders at Adelaide, states— " The proprietary will be pleased to learn that while a cloud has been passing over the affairs of the company, from the unprecedented state of the markets, discoveries have been made in the mine which give the directors the greatest confidence in its present value and future pros perity. The most important of these are the lodes—one in the 30 fathom level, south-west from Graham's shaft, consisting of red oxide and malachite in great abun ance, and the other two fathoms wide, in the thirty fathom level, east from Kingston's shaft, yielding ma lachite of high produce. Some idea of their value may be formed, when it is known that during the present take, the men (twelve in number) employed in the only two pitches set on these lodes, in the first week of their workings produced eighty tons of the richest ores. It is most satisfactory that in all these discoveries the lodes appear well defined, and the ore improves in quality in depth. In the old workings new lodes continue to be found; and there yet remains a good extent of ore ground at the twenty fathoms levels. The production of the February and March take' was equal to 1,000 toes per month. The present take is expected to be more productive. From the establishment of smelting works in this province and in Sydney, the ship ment of ores to Britain will be very much diminished, if not altogether abandoned, and the increased profits arising from the sale of the ores within the province will be considerable. As the particulars of the arrangements entered into by the directors with the Patent Copper Company will be submitted to this meeting of shareholders, it is unnecessary for the directors to remark on the subject here, beyond stating that the delivery of the ore to the company com menced a fortnight since, and the first tapping of coarse copper took place last week." It is probable that the strenuous exertions of the Australians will greatly effect the English smelting business. The mining interests in the colonies have suffered with those at home by the very low range of prices for ores, but it is shown that the South Aus tralian Company has a large balance after meeting all liabilities. The llamburgh mail, with Friday's advices, brings the quotation for three months' bills on London at 13 10f, being steady; Gold was at 4371. There was very little change in Stocks or Shares. At Berlin, on the 27th ult., there was very little doing in Public Secu rities; and at Vienna, on the 26th, Austrian Metallics were quoted 96. The Amsterdam Bourse, on Saturday, was dull, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. being at 54. The Dutch Ministers, who resigned, had published, by consent of the King, the motives which prompted them, and which appear to be chiefly the difficulty of agreeing with the Second Chamber. The report of the Leipsic fair, dated the 25th ult., is even more favourable than the previous statements we have had. A very active wholesale business had been transacted, and although the sale of woollen goods was checked at first by the advanced prices asked, there was a large sale afterwards. The rise is estimated as being equal to 2 and 2i rix-dollars per piece since the Easter fair. The supply of English tex tile fabrics was rather limited, and they were much wanted, and would have commanded a large sale, as the stocks in most countries were low. German goods also went off satisfactorily. Thibets, mousselines de laines s and other similar goods, were most in request, but print ing cloths were flatter. The advance generally was 5 to 10 per cent. St. Peterburgh accounts of the 21st report a slight increase of business in the Tallow market. At Ant werp last week ousiness was dull in colonial produce. The grain crops throughout Prussia are spoken of as being better than was expected. The vineyards in Col‘ d'Or will yield fairly, and the quality of the grape is fine. There it a very flat market for Public Securities, owing to the confirmation, and with further details, of the refusal of the Porte to deliver up the Hungarian refugees. Consols, which closed cei Saturday at 93i to 93, have been as low as 92.1 f for Transfer, and 924 f 4 for Account. The premium on Exch( quer bills has been 38s. to 419., and on India Bonds 775. Consols are now again about 92k, buyers. India Stock is worth 257. The Foreign Securities have partaken of the flatness of the English market. Mexican Bonds have realised 261 to 27, being about lower.l Buenos Ayres continue to droop, and are likely to go lower. Brazilian Old Stock is at 83. Venezuela Bonds have been 231. Spanish Five per Cents. have been at 161 to 171 ; and the Three per Cents. at 34 to Portugues Four per Cents. are about 29 to 30. Russian have fallen 2to 3 per cent., being now 105 to 106. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been marked 534. The Railway share Market has been exceedingly dull, and with a further depression in most of the quotations. Great Western have been fairly maintained, however, and likewise South-Eastern Brighton. O ,:e.. - O'OCLCK. amsi - G PRP;rt-, t)1, ,RITIsO i UNDS YRICFs. 8 per Cent.

On Saturday morning, at eight o'clock, her Ma jesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, end the royal suite, quitted the Midland Hotel at Derby, in the royal carriages, and proceeded to the railway sta tion, where there was a special train in readiness to receive them. Her Majesty was enthusiastically cheered on her departure. BIRMINGHAM. LAURENT'S CASINO.--:.MT. Ellis, the spirited pro prietor of Cremorne Gardens, and always an indefati gable caterer for the public entertainment, is petitioning the Middlesex magistrates for a dancing licence, to enable him once more to throw open the doors of the Adelaide Gallery to . the numerous votaries of Terpsichore who have hitherto composed the habitue., of the place. Laurent's Casino was ever distinguished for the order and respectability of its management, and it is gratify big to know that a large section of the public are backing Mr. Ellis's application with a petition in its favour. SUNDAY TRAYELLING IN SCOTLAND.—In the report of the meting of the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Railway, which appeared in the papers of Thursday last, it was stated that a motion to discontinue the run ning of trains on Sundays was met by an amendment, and that the former was carried by a majority of 324 to 81 votes. This was an error. The amendment was carried by the majority of 243. We are the more anxious to notice the unintentional mistake, as this large majority, together with the victories over the indefati gable advocates of unnecessary Sabbath restrictions which have been lately gained in the North British and Caledonian Railways, shows that the great bulk of bona fide Scotch shareholders are in favour of Sunday trains. THE ORPHANS Of THE LATE LIEUT. AND I\ IRS. NPKENZIE, OF GREENWICH.—Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, with her usual munificence, sent a sum of 201. on learning the state in which the six children of the late Lieut. M'Kenzie ' of Greenwich Hospital, had been left by the deaths of both their parents, Mrs. M`Kenzie having been carried off by the cholera whilst attending the sick bed of her husband, who died the next day. Lieut. M‘Kenitie was one of the old war Lieutenants, and was twice wounded. We understand also that the Governor, Admiral Sir Charles Adam, K.C.8., and all the officers of the institution, have been most prompt in endeavouring to ameliorate the condition of these orphans, and Miss Burdett Coutts has manifested her kindly feelings in a very liberal manner in this case of distress. The royal party arrived at the junction of the London and North Western and the Bristol and Bir mingham Railway, in this borough, at 24 minutes to ten o'clock. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, some hundreds of persons assembled on the embankments to witness the arrival of the royal party. A guard of honour, under the com mand of Colonel Arbuthnot, and a strong detachment of police, under Chief-Superintendent Stephens, were placed on each side of the line. The Mayor (Mr. Thornton), the members of the corporation, and a numerous body of borough magistrates, were early on the spat, and in addition to other gentlemen of influence, we observed Mr. Newdegate, ALP., Mr. Muntz, M.P., Mr. Scholefield, M.P., &c. On the stopping of the train, and while a change of engine took place, the following addresses were presented by the Mayor to the Queen and Prince Albert. "TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " We, y our Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects the Mayor, Alderao n, and Burgesses of the borough of Birmingham, in the county of Warwick, in council ass( mblcd, approach your Majesty with the tender of a respectful but heartfelt welcome. " We recur with a grateful recollection to the period of your Majesty's form( r visit to the town of Birming ham, in the company of your Majesty's August Mother, when the hopes of the people hailed your Majesty as heir presumptive to the throne, and we rejoice in this opportunity of renewing to your Majesty those ex pressions of sincere attachment with which the inhabi tants then so cordially greeted the presence of their future Sovereign. " We beg most respectfully to express to your Majesty our warm admiration of your Majesty's consti tutional Government, our affectionate devotion to your Majesty's person, and our unswerving loyalty to the throne. "It is our earnest prayer that your Majesty, blessed in the affections of your illustrious Consort and the tender love of your children, may long be spared to ex tend the genial influence of your Majesty's bright ex ample throughout all classes in these kingdoms, and to receive the grateful homage of a loyal and faithful people. " In testimony whereof the corporate common seal of the said borough is hereunto affixed, the 29th day of September, 1849." "TO BIS ROYAL HIGHNESS fiELD-MARSHAL PRINCE ALBERT, OF SAXE COBURG AND GOTHA. We, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the borough of Birmingham, in the county of Warwick, in council assembled, beg cordially again to welcome your Royal Highness to this our borough. "As the consort of our gracious Sovereign your Royal Highness has justly endeared yourself to the affections of all who can appreciate the benefits of your illustrious ex ample in the virtuous performance of all the duties of private life. " With dignified impartiality your Royal Bigness has used the influence of your exalted station so as to win the unanimous and grateful approval of men of all parties and of every class. " And whilst, as the generous patron of the fine arts your Royal Highness has entitled yourself to the thanks of the whole country, your Royal Highness has an es pecial claim to the gratitude of a community like our own, whose prosperity so largely depends on the suc cessful cultivation of art, and on the ready support and encouragement which your Royal Highness has ever afforded, when the appeal to them has been preferred. " We beg your Royal Highness to accept our heart felt good wishes, and the tribute of our grateful admira tion and respect. " In testimony whereof, the corporate common seal of the said borough is hereunto affixed, the 29th day of September, 1849." Her Majesty and her Royal Consort courteously received the addresses, and subsequently the Prince acknowledged the great interest he took in the Bir mingham exposition of manufactures, and his regret that, on the present occasion, he was unable to visit the exhibition. A fresh engine having been attached to the train, the Queen proceeded on the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, en route for the Isle of Wight. The whole of the proceedings were extremely tame, and did not occupy more than seven minutes. WORCESTERSHIRE. Her Majesty left the Birmingham Junction of the Bristol and Birmingham Railway a few minutes before ten o'clock. At the top of the Bromsgrove Lickey, Worcestershire, about thirteen miles from Birmingham, there is one of the most acute inclines upon any railway in the kingdom. At the top of this incline the train was stopped, and the journey down was accomplished by its specific gravity, the steam of the engine being shut off. At the bottom was stationed a posse of the Queen's Own Worcester shire Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by Colonel the Hon. E. H. Clive, who received her Majesty with presented arms, the artillery firing a royal salute. There was no more delay here, however, than is necessary with all the trains travelling down the incline, -and in a short time the royal travellers were again on their way southward. The Stoke Prior, Droitwich, and Spetchley (Worcester) stations, were rapidly passed. No address was prepared by the Corporation of Worcester, it being understood that her Majesty would journey rapidly through this county. On the royal train arriving at Eckington, a small village between Worcester tend Tewkesbury, it was found that one of the axles of the engine had become heated. This caused a slight delay, which retarded the arrival of the train at the subsequent stations between that point and Gloucester, and at one time caused some little uneasiness. A few miles further on her Majesty entered GLOUCESTERSHIRE. The royal train did not stop at Tewkesbury or Cheltenham. The inhabitants of the latter town had expressed a desire to be permitted the privilege of addressing the Queen on her passing the town, but her Majesty declined it on the ground of the delay which such a step would occasion, her Majesty being anxious to get to Osborne as early as practicable this evening. However, on approaching the Cheltenham station the speed of the royal train was slackened, and an immense concourse of the inhabitants of that town having assembled by the side of the line, received her Majesty with hearty cheers, which testimonials of loyalty were gracefully acknowledged by the Queen and Prince Albert. The children of the various Sunday schools were brought together and ranged along the line of railway for some distance, there being from 4,000 to 5,000 altogether. ARRIVAL AT GLOUCESTER.—The firing of cannon at half past eleven o'clock announced the approach of the royal train to the Gloucester station. Here pre parations upon a scale of some extent had been made tor the reception of the royal party, it being necessary, in consequence of the break of gauge here, that her Majesty should change carriages at this point of her journey. Communications were received here on Friday night by electric telegraph from Derby, inti mating that her Majesty would receive the addresses of the clergy and corporation of the city upon her arrival. Accordingly, the corporation, headed by the Mayor, Mr. J. Burrup, and a deputation from the clergy, headed by the Rev. Sir John Seymour, were in waiting at the station before ten o'clock, and the station and neighbourhood for a mile or two along the line of railway were crowded by gaily dressed people anxious to obtain a sight of her Majesty. A tempo rary gallery had been erected at the point where her Majesty alighted, for the accommodation of a select party of ladies (about 200) who were admitted by tickets. The station was neatly fitted up. The arrival and departure platforms were covered with crimson caipetting, and flowers and evergreens were distri buted about, giving quite a new character to the other wise inelegant structure. Upon the spare lines of rail running into the station, trucks were placed for the accommodation of such of the visitors as could not find room in the gallery. The military mustered rather strong on the occasion. A guard of honour composed of a company of Riflemen, under the com mand of Captain Lord A. Russell, was ,stationed at the end of the platform. The Gloucestershire Yeo manry Hussars were present, under the command of Captain Surman and Cornet Bloxsome, and a detach ment of the South Gloucester Militia, together with a body of the enrolled pensioners, under the command of Captain Somerset, were also in attend ance. Two bands of music were also there, one having been provided by the mayor, and the other being the Duke of Beaufort's band. Mr. Ellis, M.P., chairman of the Midland Railway Company, attended on behalf of that company, and Lord Barrington for the Great Western Company, with the secretary, Mr. Charles Saunders. On the royal train driving into the station, the bands played the National Anthem, and the most enthusias tic cheers were raised by the vast body of people con gregated together. The train having been brought to a stop, Sir George Grey alighted, and presented the Mayor, Mr. J. Bur rup, to her Majesty. His worship thereupon presented to the Queen and the Prince the addresses which had been agreed to. " TO HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY THE QUEEN. " The bumble and dutiful address of the Mayor, Aldermen, and Councillors of the city of Glou cester, in council assembled— " May it please your Majesty,—We, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Councillors of your Majesty's ancient and loyal city of Gloucester, joyfully avail ourselves of your Majesty's auspicious presence humbly to assure your Majesty of the profound loyalty and attachment which we, and our fellow-citizens at large, bear towards your Majesty's sacred person and crown. " And we earnestly pray that, under the protection of Divine Pcovidence, continued and increased blessings may be shed upon your Majesty and your Royal Consort, that your Majesty's reign may be distinguished by the glory and undisturbed prosperity of this great country, and that your Aclajesty may be visited with every personal CABINET CouNem—Summoness were issued on Saturday, by direction of Lord Palmerston, to the Ministers to attend a Cabinet Council on Tuesday next (to-morrow), at the Forign- office, Downing-street. Most of the Ministers are expected to attend, the greater part being either in town or residing but a short distance from the metropolis. Lord John Russell is at present at Woburrf - Abbey; Lord Palmerston, Mr. Labouchere, Sir Francis Baring, and the Lord Chancellor are in town ; both Lord Grey and Sir George Grey are expected in town to-day), the former from Howick•hall, and the latter from Osborne. The Chan cellor of the Exchequer and Lady Mary Wool arrived in town on Thursday, and proceeded on Saturday to Woburn Abbey on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Bedford. The Right Hon. Gentleman will come to town on Tuesday, with Lord John Russell, to attend the Cabinet Council at one o'clock. Lord Palmerston arrived in town from Bracket-hall on Friday. EXPLOSION OF A SEWER IN TIIE BOROUGH.—On Saturday evening, about six o'clock, a fearful explosion of sewer-damp happened in Friar-street, in the Borough; there were happily no lives lost, though the shock of the explosion was felt at a considerable distance round the neighbourhood. The cast-iron plates. covering the man holes i❑ the flag-pavement in Friar-street, were all blown into the air, and flames came through the gully gratings into the streets. It appears that the sewer iu Friar street has been in a most pestilential state for some time, and cholera is prevailing immediately around it to an alarming extent. Notwithstanoing repeated complaints had been -.nude, nothing had been done by the Commis sioner; and on Saturday Messrs. Anderson and Cally, soap-boilers, were prevailed on by some of the inhabi tants, in despair, to attempt to draw off the pestilential vapour by connecting a pipe.from the sewer with one of their chimneys. All went on apparently well for about half an hour, when the explosion occurred. DEATH Or MR. R. W. LANGSLOW.—It is with much regret we record the death, at Jaffna, of R. W. Langslow, Esq., deputy to the Queen's advocate. He died at Jaffna on the night of the 15th, from an attack of cholera of only twelve hours' duration. The deceased was a young man of very considerable attainments, and of much promise as a public officer. He was the son of the late district judge of Colombo, so well known in Ceylon for his independence, and the persecutions he in consequence endured. Ce ylon Overland Observer, August 15.

" Given under the common seal of tie said city, the twenty-fifth day of Septernbtr, in the thirteenth year of her Mljesty'z reign." The address to his Royal Highness Prince Albert was as follows : " May it please your Royal Highress—We, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Councillors of the city of Glou cester, beg permision to express to your Royal High ness the heartfelt pleasure which we, in common with our fellow-citizens at large, feel on your Royal High ness's appearance, though for a very short period, at this place, and our profound respect for your Royal Highness. The intimate ties which unite ycnr Royal High• ness with the happiness of our beloved Queen and the future prosperity of these realms, invoke our most earnest prayers for your Royal Highness's welfare, and we implore the Giver of all good to shower down every blessing upon her Most Gracious Majesty, your Royal Highness, and the youthful members of the Royal _ _ " Given under the common seal of the said city the twenty-fifth day of Septembcr, in the thirteenth year of her Majesty's reign." Tl.e following address from the clergy was also presented by Sir John Seymour "May it please your Majesty,—We, the clergy of the cathedral and of the city of Gloucester, beg leave to avail ourselves of your Majesty's passage through this ancient city to approach you with the expression cf our loyal and devoted attachment to 3 our M.ijesty's person and government. At a time when so many nations are dis tracted by fearful civil comrnotions, we rejoice in the opportunity afforded us of testifying our deep gratitude for the successful efforts of your Majesty to preserve the people committed to your chare in health, peace, and godliness, and our sense of these virtues which render the home of your Majesty and the Prince Consort a model to all the families of the land. " That Almighty God may be pleased to endue your Majesty and your Royal Family with His heavenly grace, and to prosper you with all happiness, is, and ever must be, Madam, the earnest prayer of our hearts. " Unanimously agreed on at a meeting of the clergy, Sept. 27, 1349." Immediately after the receipt of the addresses, her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Royal children left the narrow gauge train, and walked across the plat form to the broad gauge train, and in less than ten minutes after her Majesty's arrival she again took her departure for Swindon. The engine was a powerful eight-wheeled engine—the Warlock. On the de parture of the royal train the air was rent with accla mations, and there was a general rush to catch a glimpse of the royal party. SWINDON. The arrival at the Swindon junction of the Chel tenham and Great Western Railway took place at half- past twelve o'clock precisely, where her recep tion by the assembled thousands must have convinced the Queen of the devoted loyalty and attachment to her person felt by the whole of her subjects in that district. Although the notice of the intended pro gress of the royal party by this route was necessarily very short, preparations for their reception were made on the most extensive scale. The magnificent station was decorated with arches and festoons of evergreens and flowers; the platform was carpetted with crimson cloth, and the passage through which the royal party had to pass waS bordered on each side by rows of exotic plants and flowers, placed upon appropriate stages. The various buildings connected with the Great Western establishment were also dressed with flags, &c. ; and a band, composed of twenty of the workmen engaged in the Swindon engine establish ment, were stationed on the platform, and performed a variety of tunes. The saloon of the Swindon Hotel, adorned with rich carved work, and painted in the arabesque style, was fitted as a refreshment-room for her Majesty's suite, a handsome defamer being laid in the centre of the saloon, which was separated from the second-class department by rich hangings of crimson and gold, surmounted by richly-carved and gilt cornices, and the initials " V R." This room also was rich in the choicest floral varieties, which were tastefully ar ranged on marble tables and stands. A smaller room, fitted in superb style with furniture of rosewood and crimson velvet en suite, and communicationg with the upper apartments of the hotel by a staircase, hand somely decorated for the occasion, was provided for her Majesty and the Royal Family, for whose refresh ment a magnificent repast was prepared. The table was served with gold and silver plate, and was orna mented with three superb fruit and flower stands, two of silver gilt. Adjoining this was a dressing-room, fitted with a similar regard to elegance and comfort. Her Majesty was graciously pleased, through Lady Barrington, to express her approbation of the preparations made for her reception by Mr. and Mrs. Phillips, and intimated, through Sir G. Grey, her permission to designate the Swindon Hotel in future as the Queen's Royal Hotel. At a quarter past one o'clock, her Majesty and suite having stayed three-quarters of an hour at the hotel, re-entered the saloon carriage amidst the deafening and enthusiastic cheers of thousands of her loyal subjects, whose gratulations were acknowledged in the most gracious manner by her Majesty and Prince Albert, and in a minute the engine started and the train was speedily out of sight. CHOLERA AND DIARRHCEA. RETURN OF CASES, SEPT. 28. THE METROPOLIS. SUPERINTENDING REGISTRAR'S DISTRICT. Deaths. Cholera. DlaXrh. BASINGSTOKE. At Basingstoke the break of gauge again occurred, and the royal party changed carriages to the narrow gauge of the South-Western line. Her Majesty was received by Mr. Chaplin, the chairman of the South- Western Company ; Mr. Stovin, the manager ; Mr. Gooch, the superintendent of locomotion ; and other officers of the company, and about three o'clock the royal train again started on its homeward course in charge of Mr. Stovin. PORTSMOUTH. The royal train arrived at Gosport at four o'clock, when a royal salute from her Majesty's ships announced the event. On the royal train entering the Clarence yard the band of the Royal Marines (which corps furnished the guard of honour) struck up the National Anthem, and the standard was hoisted on the flag staff. In waiting to receive her Majesty at the royal terminus were—the Port Admiral and Lieutenant- Governor of Portsmouth, the Admiral Superintendent of the dockyard, Col.-Commandant of Royal Marines, the railway authorities, and all the official staff usual on such interesting visits. The Countess of Mount Edgecumbe was in attendance, to relieve the:Lady-in- Waiting on her Majesty, as was also Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, in charge of the royal yacht. The royal party were embarked in the state barge, and steered by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence to the Fairy steam-yacht in the harbour, which slipped from her moorings about 20 minutes after five with the Court on board, and started for Osborne, the ships saluting and the crews cheering as the royal standard floated by each. The Elfin despatch-yacht followed the Fairy with the baggage and attendants, and both entered the harbour of Cowes about half-past five, under the most gratifying demonstration of loyalty and attachment to her Majesty. COURT CIRCULAR. HOWICK, SEPT. 28. Her Majesty and the Prince, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, Princess Alice, and Prince Alfred, left Balmoral at eight o'clock yester day morning, and arrived at Howick at nine o'clock, P.M.

Wales, the Princess Royal, Prince Alfred, and the Princess Alice, attended by the Countess of Mount Edgecumbe, Lady in Waiting; the Honourable Miss Dawson, Maid of Honour; Sir George Grey, Sir James Clark, the Hon. Colonel Gordon, and Mr. Birch, arrived at Gosport about half-past four yes terday, and crossed from thence to Osborne Pier, in the Fairy yacht, commanded by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence. Her Majesty, his Royal Highness, and the august party, reached Osborne about half-past five, and were received by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, Major- General Wemyss, Equerry in Waiting; Colonel Berkeley Drum mond, Groom in Waiting; and the Master of the House kohb Sir George Grey was honoured by an invitation to re• main at Osborne until Monday. Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps was included in the Royal dinner party yesterday. The inclemency of the weather this morning pre vented her Majesty and the Prince, and the Royal Fa mily, from taking their usual early exercise. The Queen and Prince, Sir G. Grey, and the mem bers of the Royal Household, attended Divine service at Osborne this morning. The Rev. T. Protheroe, Chap lain to his Royal Highness at Osborne, performed the service. The Honourable Colonel Anson had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Friday at his offi °jai residence in Downing- street. The Marquis of Lansdowne has left the seat of Lord Belhaven, Wisham, Lanarkshire, for Durham.

The package was found to contain the dead body of a remarkably fine child, and from the appear ances upon it there is little doubt entertained that the child had been murdered. The police were immediately acquainted with the discovery, and the body was forth with removed to St. Martin's Workhouse to await an inquest. The Duke and Duchess de Bordeaux and the Duchess d'Angoußme have arrived at FrohsderM SUCCESSFUL CULTIVATION 0 . 0 FORTY-DAY MAIZE IN lIAMPSLIIRE. Three weeks ago we called attention to the pro mising progress of the experimental crop of Mr. Keene's hybrid in this county ; and concurrently with our observations we were pleased to observe in all the London daily journals the fact stated that the patches permitted to be sown in a metropolitan park by the Commissioners of the Woods and Forests, under great disadvantages, had grown to perfection. The same success, we understand, has attended the crops on the estate of Lord Lyndhurst, in Buckingham shire, and on some sandy ground near the banks ef the Thames, in Middlesex. The seed hereabouts was put into the ground a fortnight later; yet, even with this drawback, success is certain; thecobs have put out with astonishing vigour—their size is enormous—anl they are approaching to maturity in a manner to meet the most sanguine wishes of the cultivators. The produce in one field we have examined at Bitterne, itt a north easterly direction from South,An4pton, will be prodigiously large. Men, we perceive, are 110•, , f emplo) ed in cutting cif the fliwer-tops, and tyii,g• them up in bundles to dry as winter fodder for cattle, leaving the cobs and stout bottom stalks to complete their ripening process. Eventually, and at no distant day, the lusty cobs of grain, some of them nine or ten inches long, and as thick as a stout man's wrist in circumference—will be gathered, leaving the large stumps to he dried for winter fuel. All this is well ; a new and generous article cf food will be opened to the cultivators throughout this wide and warm district of the kingdom ; the poor will base an additional aid at command ; the disinterested and philanthropic desires of Mr. Keene will be met; and the statements of cavillers, at no time free front suspicion, will be falsified to their utter shame and confusion. To the past statements of those who were determined to prejudge the merits of the experiment we have paid little or no attention ; Providence has put them beyond the pale of argument, and that is satisfactory to us, who were only desirous of a clear field and no favour in (to us) a disinterested battle on the part of the poor and needy against their inve terate and not overscrupulous opponents. Mr. Keene was not unknown to us when he left his charming retreat in the south of France to try his agri cultural experiments on this side of the Channel— we had known him from boyhood ; and his character was a guarantee that he was no selfish speculator or visionist. We took him at his word; and we had an abiding faith that he was not attempting to palm a falsehood upon the British public. When he told us, in his straightforward pamphlet, that he had a new sort of maize, which, in unsuccessful potato seasons, would come in to fill up the wide gap, and in a great degree disarm famine, we believed him. At any rate, as far as our influence was of value, we were deter mined that he should have a fair trial in the county of Hants. There has been some up-hill work : the strong jungle of prejudice has had to be trodden with a heel of iron ; and to good purpose. We are not now to be told by the ignorant or unreficting that the forty-day maize is "Cobbett's corn," or "agricultural maize," or " Indian corn," or anything else but " Keene's forty-day maize." There is no .likelihood. in the sorts—comparison is at a discount. A blind. man with a single hand could tell the difference. Parties who are dubious are invited to come and see; there is nothing like shirking in the matter; all is fair and above-board. At a nursery man's door, the other day, we saw a bundle of very tall and very green stuff, with incipient cobs, labelled " Agricul. tural maize, 92 tons to the acre." That is not forty day maize—" N o more alike than Ito Hercules; Hyperion to a satyr." As we have already said, Mr. Keene's hybrid stands apart from anything else we have ever seen, is different in many respects, and above all, is what it was at first represented to be, having truth in all particulars for its voucher. It differs from Cobbett's corn as widely as did the talented and strong-minded author of the Political Register from the majority of the liberally illiberal politicians of the present day. The fact is, Indian corn has never succeeded in this country, because the wrong sorts have been sown—those sorts which re quire six months of the hottest climate of the world to ripen them. In conclusion, we will let Mr. Keene repeat here from his pamphlet : " For some years I have inhabited a temperate mountainous district of the Pyrenees, where the cli mate is very much like that of the southern counties of England. I have there, in my agricultural prac tice, brought to perfection three new sorts of maize, which I call forty-day maize, because the flower stalks begin to shoot out in forty days from the time of sowing and in 140 days from the time of sowing in this temperate climate it is ripe. It ripens, in fact, as soon, and even sooner, than the common dwarf kid ney or French bean sown with it; and none of you doubt that the kidney bean will bear its ripe seed in England, since you all grow it; and though you eat it green, you raise it every year from the seed you. grow. " Maize bread may be eaten in a variety of ways —hot, with tea or coffee for breakfast, warmed or toasted, with butter or meat, sugared or salted, or under baked meat as a substitute for Yorkshire pudding ; or,under a slice of bacon, or fried with bacon, or as porridge in milk. In short, it may he eaten in a much greater variety of modes of cooking than bread. " Children get quickly fond of it, and prefer it to bread. It keeps the blood fresh, and dces not, like wheaten bread, produce costiveness, so injurious to tender frames. No children are so healthy as those nourished on it, and w e know mountain villages of ruddy faced hardy youngsters whose principal diet is maize bread. "if the author's memory serves him aright, it was Mr. Chadwick, in his examination before the Poor-law Committee of the House of Commons, who said He had often considered that it was desirable that the inmates of the workhouses should have some one kind of food permitted to them without stint or limit.' This is equally called for by every humane person, but wheaten bread is too costly, and potatoes are not of the kind of food desirable for such a pur pose. The writer ventures to suggest maize bread as exactly suited for an unlimited, economical, and nou rishing diet, not only for charitable establishments, but in every establishment where order and economy are practised. It would, however, be a mistake to suppose that it is recommended for family use to re place bread. It is meant, that like vegetables, it should be in the house with it. Let there be always a loaf to cut without stint or limit for all who choose it. In short, encourage the taste for it, and have it always at hand, that a slice may be put under a roasting joint, or fried and sugared to make up a dish for the children at dinner ; or a slice toasted with cheese, or an egg poached upon it for supper—or under a boiled fresh or salt herring. The result in the month's accounts will be very evident, and every one in the family better and happier for it. Another advantage is, that the maize-loaf may be kept hot all day in the oven of the kitchen range, merely leaving the door open to moderate the heat. A sustained gentle beat does not injure but improves it, and the whole batch is often left in the oven to cool with it, taking out only a loaf at a time as wanted. ' "No other preparation of maize is so suitable—no preparation of maize so wholesome and satisfying as the baked bread of pure maize flour ;—all others are comparatively unsatisfying, and frequently unwhole some, if the flour is not of the soundest kind—in which case its manipulation, fermentation, conversion into dough, and passage through the oven, corrects its main defects." By the way, we have pleasure in announcing that Mr. Keene has, on special invitation, consented to come down from London to deliver the opening lecture of the season at the Botley and South Hants Farmers' Club.—Hampshire Advertiser. 0 THREEPENNY OMNIBUSES AND THE EMPTY HOUSES IN KENSINGTON.—For a considerable time annoyance has been experienced by the inhabitants of Kensington from the want of cheap omnibuses to convey o past much_ them to and from town, the Hammersmith Conveyance Company, and the Richmond. Conveyance ii, , es t Co mpany,ern roa d, have for years monopolised the eg o e ni at Kensington at still keeping up the fare to and s w y h st i e le m been for long period a the metropolis there had . sixpence to the Bank. On all the other roads round almost every five mi nutesd from Charing-cross; and, from inquiries to an the of parish, threepenny omnibuses running f t a itnheed new that conveyances , of Chelsea had in consequence made into the it w w or a k s in a g sCe o r but one house empty in thirty-three, and Paddington one in thirty-seven, the parish of Kensington had one empty in every ten houses. The matter had, therefore, become a very important question to the owners of house property and the trades men within the district; and calculations were then made by competent persons as to the propriety of forming a company for the purpose of starting threepenny omni buses to run from the railway bridge at the western extremity of Remington to llungerford-market, when it was found that a reasonable profit might be expected to accrue therefrom. Two public meetings were in conse quence held, one at the Gloucester Arms Tavern, Ken sington New•town, and the second meeting in the large assembly room of the King's Arms Tavern, in the High street, at which a committee, consisting of house owners and some of the leading inhabitants, was appointed to carry out the desirable object in view. NORTH SUNDERLAND..—APPEARANCE OF HER.. RINGR.—On Monday, the 24th instant, a great quantity of herrings was seen at the Longstone Lighthouse, Fern Island, by Mr. Darling, light-keeper. So nume rous were they that Mr. Darling caught several from the rock with a keep-net, and might have caught several trans if he had had salt and barrels. One of our boats is going off to-night (Tuesday) with nets to try them at the flood. No merchant has yet made any offer to our fishermen for their white fish this season.—Berwick Warder. LORD DENMAN.—A few days since this Noble and Learned Lord was taking an airing in Eyam Dale, in a small hand carriage, which through an accident cap sized, and his Lordship sustained some slight injury by a contusion of the head, which bled profusely. It is consolatory, however, to state that his Lordship is im proTing in general bola:l.—Derbyshire Courier.
