The most pleasing and effectual specific for this desirable object is ROWL ANDS' K AL YDOR. • so deservedly established in Royal and Public favour and estimation. Its application neutralizes the effects of atmosphere, and induces that healthy action of the microscopic vessels of the skin, by which its delicacy and beauty are so essentially promoted. Freckles, Tan, Spots, Pimples, and Discolorations fly before the application of the KALYDOR, and give place to a healthy smoothness and transpa rency of complexion. Ladies travelling or taking out-door exercise will lied It to diffuse a grateful and refreshing feeling. In cases of Sunburn, or Stings of Insects, its virtues have long been acknow ledged. Price 4s.

Along the Medway's beauteous brink, A poet strolled to gaze and think ; When lo! an old romantic tower Arrested hint with rnogic power. The poet stood to gaze awile Upon the antiquated pile ; And while his raptured vision falls Around the venerable walls, Ile feels the Muses' secret power, Awl thus addressed the ruined tower:— "hail, fabric of the bygone days, On thy rich scene I love to gaze ; Like some fair picture (lost thou seem, Near Medway's undulating stream. Those old, grey mouldering stones of thine Inspire a fancy warm as mine , And thus l're owned the secret power, Thou venerable ruined tower." " Thanks," said the pile—for stones are able To talk away, like bricks, in fable— " Thanks, worthy poet ! many thanks, For musing thus on Medway's banks ; But really I'm surprised that you, Who sing of Moses as you do— Yes, I'm surprised, I must confesa, You did not touch upon my dress. This ivy mantle, which you scan, Acts as does Nloses' dress on man. had you not been to Moses' Mart For garments so extremely smart, you'd look, from what I see of you, Not quite so handsome as you do. And this, applied to me, fond youth, Is nothing but the • naked truth.'" The Bard had not a word to say, But feeling guilty, sneaked away. LIST OF PRICES. READY MADE.

DUBLIN, THURSDAY EVENING. The military spectacle which took place to-day in the Phonix-park was upon a grander scale than any seen within the last score of years between the four seas of Britain. The greatest review which, until this day, her Majesty has witnessed, was, if I mistake not, the military demoLstration which took place in Windsor park before the Emperor of Russia some half-dozen years ago. On that occasion the number of troops upon the ground did not, I think, exceed 5,000. To day, nine entire regiments of infantry and calvary took part in the manoeuvres, flanked by one troop of Royal Horse Artillery of four guns, two batteries of Field Artillery of four guns each, a battallion of the Rifles, and a strong body of the Constabulary who are soldiers, and well-trained and steady soldiers too, in everything but the name. There were altogether, I believe, between 6,000 and 7,000 armed and disciplined men upon the ground. The display passed off with the utmost brilliancy. The, weather, with the exception of half.an-hour, was superb. The crowds who witnessed the military movements—orderly, yet enthusiastic—the evolutions themselves performed, so far as a lay spectator can judge, to a nicety—and the - reception of the royal party everything which could be wished. The review had been fixed for ten o'clock this morning, and for many hours previously a stream of public and private, vehicles was making its way to the Phceoix. Carmen and coach-proprietors in this part of the world are generally exceedingly reasonable in their charges, but during the last few days they have been making up for lost time. A five-pound note was the lowest item of the tariff fixed by the livery-stable people for a carriage to the review; but in this charge I ought to say that, in many instances, a night's lodging was included ; for certain enthusiastic ladies and gentlemen, in their zeal for good places, actually got into their carriages overnight, drove to the ground, took up their positions in the localities assigned to them, and slept as they sat. I, not, how ever, being quite so eager, and not having the slightest desire to change a four-poster for a bivouac in a jarvey, managed, while the enthusiasts were packing up their sandwiches and their night caps, to drop into the Theatre Royal, a handsome but somewhat dingy house, not very much smaller than Drury-lane. The performers were principally Lon don stars; but I mention the fact of my visit to the establishment as it enables me to state, that when be tween the pieces " God save the Queen " was played by the orchestra, the national hymn was as warmly received and as loudly cheered as ever it was by the most loyal London audience. After the anthem, " St. Patrick's Day " was played, the entire gallery per forming a species of sitting jig with their legs in time to the lively music. But I must nnunt a car and be off to the Phcenix an exploit, however, more easily talked about than performed—for cars were at a wonderful premium, when they were to be got at all. I pitied the unlucky steeds as I drove along, making one of the vehicular procession up the Quays. There is no saying, how ever, what a carpet- hag will hold, and there is as little known of what a Dublin hack will carry—aye, and trot cheerfully along with to boot. I am sure I saw many cars to-day clustered over with from ten to a dozn stout men and women, and getting along very well for all their load. From the entrance to the Park at the Wellington Pillar, the road became one dense mass of vehicles— the pedestrians scattered on all sides, and making their way across the greensward. The morning was lowering, the air warm, the sky cloudy, and altoge ther impregnated with a thundery aspect, which foreboded rain. Accordingly, shortly before ten o'clock a smart shower fell, and presently every clump of trees sheltered its group of cowering sight• seers. As for the ladies and gentlemen in the open cars and carriages, they pulled their shawls round their heads, mufliA themselves up in pea-coats and wrappers, and jogged drippingly onwards. The rain continued for a good halt hour, and at one time I feared that we were to have a wet day of it. The entire sky was a mass of dusky, lowering clouds. A wet drizzly mist seemed to hang above the trees, and it was only at intervals that the purple outlines of the Wick low hills peeped through the dull masses of blotting vapour. At length, however, the forenoon lightened, and the mist lifted. Presently the sun hur3t forth, and for the remainder of the day we suffered more from heat than moisture. The review took place in that portion of the Phoenix called the " Fifteen acres." Ladies and gentlemen learned in Mr. Lover's novels will remember that these " acres" constitute the Chalk-farm of Dublin. They are the traditional duelling ground of the capital, and many a gay young Irish gentleman has been lifted all stiffly from that fatal greensward with an ounce of lead through his brains or his heart. T day there was plenty of powder burned above it; hypily, however, the balls were omitted by particular desire. The " Fifteen-acres" consist of a perfectly level and treeless expanse of bright green turf. The title, however, is a misnomer, as the extent of ground in question numbers nearer a hundred than fifteen acres, a fact certified by a Dublin attorney of proverbial methodical and business habits, who, in accept ing an invitation of " pistols for two" on the Fifteen-acres, prudently subjoined, " be they more or less." A finer expanse of greensward for military purposes cannot be conceived. The eye ranges uninterruptedly along the wide arena, bounded upon the one hand by the open breezy ridge, whence the ground sinks down to form the valley of the Liffey ; on the other, by clumps and avenues of spreading trees. The troops, previous to the com mencement of operations, were drawn up in one long line, slanting as it were across the ground, and form ing the base of a triangle, of which the thronging ranges of spectators, backed by masses of carts, cars, and carriages, and by the far -stretching foliage of the trees, made up the sides. The line of troops extended from the woodland, across the vast expanse of turf, to the horizon of the view—the long and serried range of military showing like a wall—one of the proverbial walls of Sparta—a wall of men. I stood at the extremity of one flank of the line, terminated by a battery of flying artillery— the other wing of the far-spreading array absolutely faded into the thin soft mist which hovered above the ground. The number of the regiments which took part in the proceedings have already, I believe, been trans mitted to you by your regular Dublin correspondent, with the names of the commanding officers and the general official arrangements. I shall, therefore, in the following paragraph, merely describe the features of the review and sham fight as they struck the eye of an unprofessional spectator, believing that in doing so I shall be supplying what will interest the general reader far more than lists of staffs and technical de tails of military manoeuvrings. You are then to imagine on the breezy space of the Fifteen-acres a vast triangle, of which, as I said, the military formed the base, the spectators the sides. On one of the latter, a little in front of the lines, was planted a high flag-staff, marking the position which the royal party would take up. The troops, of course stool serried and immoveable scattered sen tinels here and there showed the position of the pivots round which the evolutions would turn—the gay staffs of Sir Edward Blakeney, the Commander. in-Chief in Ireland, and of Prince George of Cambridge, the Commander of the Dublin garrison, moved hither and thither glittering in the sunshine ; while ever and anon an aide-de-camp, after the mysterious fashion of these gentlemen, would fly from one party of troops to another, as if the event of a battle and the fate of a dynasty de pended upon the employment of his spurs. All this time the people were arriving fast. Ar rangements had been made by which hack cars were to be placed in a different and inferior position to that assigned for carriages; but the jarveys were intrepid, the police were mild and forbearing, and so it came to pass that wherever there shone the livery of the family coachman, there flourished also the badge and the frieze of the car-driver. The people were exceedingly orderly, and as cheerful as possible, cracking jokes with the police and the few Hussars who kept the ground, the intercourse being carried on in an amicable and confidential style, not often witnessed in an English crowd. Now and then, indeed, a few unruly spirits from behind would get up a rush forward, and partly and partially impair then even symmetry of the line ; but as a general rule, there was little pushing. Everybody %% as as comfortable as anybody in a crowd possibly can be; and the ladies were, by general consent, politely handed to the front. Immediately behind the throng of pedestrians, the array of cars and car riages was drawn up under the shadow of the trees, every available branch of which, by the way, was crowded with fine specimens of the Dublin gamin. Indeed, a few ladies had nerve and agility enough to clamber into the foliage, when the boughs were not so high as to be of very difficult access. I remarked, in wandering about in the rear, the general abstinence of the people in the way denting and drinking. No spirits or malt liquors could be got, save nearly a mile behind the lines, and the booths there were scanty and had scanty custom. A London mob of pleasure seekers would have consumed more dozens than the Dublin people drunk bottles. There was a sprinkling —a slight one—of gipsies ; but the ball of the roulette-table r o ll e d as merr ily round as ever it does on Epsom Downs when the Derby has been won and the champagne bottles emptied. Very shortly after ten o'clocic, the royal party made their appearance upon the ground, occupying three open carriages-and-four, and attended by a very brilliant and numerous staff of mounted officers, and an escort of llussars. The white liveries of Lord Clarendon's household followed the scarlet uniforms of the Queen's attendant; and immediately after his Excellency's equipage came that of "lr,land's only duke"—his Grace of Leinster. The royal party en tered the lines, and rode along the array of spectators to the flag staff, upon which the royal standard was hoisted, amid the loud acclamations of the crowd. Now then it was hoped that the warlike proceed ings would actually commence. Her Majesty, ho ever, first rode along the entire line of troops — cavalry, infantry, and artillery; and it was not until she had returned to her station near the royal standard that a general movement amid the staff, and a supernatural acti v ity on the part of the aide de-camp3, showed that y the review was actually about to begin. I have said that the list of troops i has been transmitted by your regular correspond ent. At the risk, however, of iteration, I will reca• pitulate the regiments concerned. There were upon the ground, then, one troop of Loyal Horse Artillery, of four guns; two b a tt e ries of Field Ar tillery, of four guns each; the 6th Dragoon Guards, the 6th Dragoons, the Bth Hussars, the 17th Lancers (Prince George of Cambridge's regiment), the 2d battalion of the Royals, the -'2d.or Queen's Regiment, the 40th Regiment; the 48th, the 55th, the 71st, the 2d battalion of the 60th Rifles, and a very large and well-disciplined body of county constabulary. The evolutions commenced by a general advance of the whole line, the sun shining brightly upon the waving feathers and glittering steel. Then each regiment wheeled into independent line, and, amid the clang and clash of military bands, marched in slow and measured time before her Majesty. The effect of this was very pretty, as squadron after squa dron and battalion after battalion passed along, the flutter of the Lancers' flags and the Dragoons' plumes seen mingling with and overtopping the bristling lines of sparkling bayonets. Presently, after having made nearly the circuit of the review ground, the regiments formed again in their original line, and in their original position. Then came the sham battle. And here, a t the outset of this desperate but un sanguinary engagement, I must confess my ignor ance of the system of tactics adopted. I saw plenty of firing, plenty of charging, but I could see no re presentation of the enemy which was to be riddled by bayonet and ball. The Artillery opened a fire by banging away upon each wing ; then there was a dashing charge of Hussars through the wreathing smoke, and in a few minutes the firing, as they say in bulletins, " became general." I cannot attempt to particularise the wheelings, the deployings, the rushes of Cavalry, and the charges and counter chargei of Infantry which followed. Now, the troops would appear in one long line ; the Artillery would thunder on either wing, sending columns of white smoke along the sward, and only permitting you at successive intervals to hear the shrill clamour of the signal bugles. Then, in a moment, responsive to the music-sent command, a rattling discharge of musketry would crackle down the long ling, clouding the array with little upurts of bluish semi-transparent smoke, and soundino• like a quick roll of drums. In a mo ment thereafter, the line of fire would be broken, and the Cavalry would dash gallantly forth between the wheeling columns of Infantry, the Artillery rattling forward on either flank to cover the advance. One movement in particular—the most coherent in the eyes of a non-military man, performed during the day—was as interesting as it was beautiful. First the Artillery fired some half-dozen rounds, quick and fast, and, as the smoke blew away, the Lancers rushed out in the midst, forming for a moment a com pact and smartly moving mass. Then, suddenly quickening their speed to a wild gallop, they couched their flag-crowned spears, and, bursting out of rank on either hand like the spread of a plume, dashed hither and thither across the green sward, each horseman bent on separate and guerilla like warfare; thus, as it were, sweeping the ground in front, and retiring round either flank to the rear. But the enemy were supposed to be nut yot dis lodged ; and as the Lancers galloped away out came from the main column a dusky cloud of Riflemen running forward at a quick trot, firing and reloading as they went. Suddenly a bugle sounds—down go the sharpshooters on the grass to a man, while the cannon play above them. Theca the trumpet sounds a recall of the skirmishers, while the main body ad vance by regiments—the cavalry charging in great sweeping rushes between them —the infantry now moving on, now flinging themselves into squares, and keeping up a gallant and constant fire. At length the dtcisive moment appears to have arrived, and, forming into one vast serried column, supported by masses of cavalry and artillery, the infantry move rapidly forward, their pace soon increasing to a sharp run, as their muskets are brought to the charge, and the imaginary foe sees flashing down upon him that tremendous species of attack—that assault which no hostile line has yet stood its ground against—a sweep ing charge of British bayonets ! This general ad vance was the climax of the day's proceedings ; and with it the imaginary battle was supposed to have been fought and won. Before her Majesty left the ground, I understand that she warmly expressed her gratification at the proceedings of the day, at the fine appearance and high discipline of the troops, and at the skill with which they were put through the complicated evo lutions which they performed. I add, from your other reporter here, the parti culars of Prince Alberts's visit to several public institutions in Dublin after the review. VISIT OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT TO THE ROYAL ACADEMY. At three o'clock this day his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Marquis of Breadalb ane , an d E ar l Fortescue, ar rived at the Royal Academy, for the purpose of inspecting the various objects of interest contained in that institution. The secretaries had previously received a communication from the private secre tary of the Lord-Lieutenant, stating his Royal Highness's desire to make his visit with every possible degree of privacy, and the secretaries consequently felt bound to close their doors against all persons ex cept those in attendance on the Prince. He was received by the Rev. Dr. Todd, the Rev. Charles Graves, and Dr. Petrie, the Irish antiquary. Those gentlemen exhibited to his Royal Highness the most remarkable objects of antiquity preserved in the museum. He minutely inspected them, and asked several questions indicating an intimate acquaint ance with the subject. Amongst the various relics that attracted his attention were the Cross of Cong, the Crozier of St. Kieran, the Feachal Phadring (a reliquary containing a tooth of St. Patrick), and the splendid collection of golden ornaments in possession of the Academy. His Royal Highness next passed int o th e library, and amongst other interesting works, some of the most remarkable of the Irish manuscripts were shown to him. He viewed the book of Ballymoate, the speckled book, the Leabhar na humdhri, the book of Armagh, with its curious leathern cover, the Domnach Airgid. This last mentioned relic is, properly speaking, not a book, but a silver case, cont a i n i ng a copy of the Gospels. It is said that it belonged to St. Patrick, and was originally written on vellum, but by the operation of time it has assumed the appearance of a solid mass of a brownish hue and bri c k-lik e su b stance. His Royal Highness also inspected the autograph copy of the four master!, the inscriptions in the Ogham character, and noticed with much interest the ancient bells, brooches, and bron ze weapons i n t h e society's collection. Having remained about an hour, his Royal Highness took his departure amidst the acclamations of the spectators, a large number of whom were assembled in Grafton street. It may not be uninteresting to m ent i on t h a t th e house this day visited by Prince Albert is the remains of Mornington House, and the bi rt h -place of h i s Grace the Duke of Wellington. At a meeting of the Royal Academy, held prepara tory to her Majesty's visit, Prince Albert was elected an honorary member. VISIT TO THE COLLEGE OF SURGEONS. From the Royal Academy Prince Albert proceeded to the Royal College of Surgeons, where he was re ceived by the president, vice-president, and some of the members of the council, by whom he was con ducted through the museum, library, and board-room. His Royal Highness having expressed his satisfaction at all he had seen, took his departure for the Royal Dublin Society. VISIT TO THE ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIETY. About five o'clock Prince Albert's carriage ap peared at the gates of the Royal Dublin Society, old Leinster-house. His Royal Highness had been long and anxiously expected by hundreds of persons a , sembled both in and outside the gates, and when he did appear he received a most en thusiastic welcome. Some faint hopes were entertained during the day that the Prince would not come alone—that her Majesty would accompany him; but a review in the morning under a burning sun, and a drawing-room in the evening, were deemed sufficient by her Majesty for one day's work; and, therefore, she did not come. On the arrival of his Royal Highness he was con ducted into the board-room of the society, which was crowded with spectators. Amongst the individuals in attendance on the occasion were the Duke of Leinster, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl of Kingston, Bishop of Limerick, the Lori Mayor, Sir H. - NV: Barron, the Right Hon. the Master of the Rolls, Earl Fortescue, 7 - On his Royal Highness entering the board-room, the following address on behalf of the society was read and presented to him by Mr. L. E. Foot, one of the honorary secretaries : - " T 0 HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT. " We, the Vice-President ar.d members of the Royal Dublin Society incorporated by R val Charter for the promotion of husbandry and other useful arts in Ire land, take ad vantage of the present wispicious occasion of your Royal Highness's first visit to Inland, in company with our Gracious S )eer'-ign. to tender our profound respects, and cordial congratulations. " Your Royal Highness having condescended to be come Vice-Patron of our society, and also an occasional exhibitor at our cattle show, we regard your Royal Highness as no stranger to our objects, but rather as graciously participating in those peaceful and useful pur suits by which we seek to stimulate agricultural improve ment and general practical knowledge and industry in this part of the United Kingdom. " Honoured already by the patronage of her Majesty, and the interest evinced by your Royal Highness, we look forward to new sources of hope and encouragement from the exhilarating influence Of the royal presence amongst us, and trust that the frequent recurrence of such proofs of sympathy and favour may long continue to furnish new bonds of attachment to her Majesty, her son and family. " We further indulge the hope that when abundance and prosperity shall revisit this portion of the United Kingdom, your Royal Highness will enjoy the pleasing reminiscence of having contributed by your countenance and example to those labours which, under the blessing of Divine Providence, teach to multiply the fruits of the earth, and to direct the discoveries of science to the in crease of the enjoyments and conveniences of mankind. "(By order) " EDWARD HARDMAN, Assistant Secretary." His Royal Highness Prince Albert delivered the following reply " I thank you sincerely for your congratulations on the arrival of the Queen and myself in Ireland. I have always felt great interest in the proceedings of this so ciety, and have been anxious for its prosperity, because I was convinced that in applying the most recent disco veries of science and the most fully tested mechanical improvements to a naturally fertile soil, you would not only raise the productive powers of this country, and in crease its wealth, but likewise give remunerative em ployment to its labouring population and encourage habits of industry. It is impossible not to feel deeply the marks of enthusiastic attachment which have been displayed to the Queen and to myself by the warm hearted inhabitants of this beautiful island; and I most sincerely hope that the promise of a plentiful havest, of which your fields bear such hopeful evidence, may be the harbinger of a termination to those sufferings under which this people have so lamentably and yet with such exemplary pa'ience laboured." Loud cheers followed the delivery of this address. His Royal Highness then proceeded to inspect the cattle on show in the adjoining yards. VISIT TO THE CATTLE SHOW. Prince Albert passed from the house of the Royal Society to the cattle show of the Agricultural So ciety, where numbers of persons were assembled. His Royal Highness was attended by the Lord-Lieu tenant, Duke of Leinster, Marquis of Londonderry, Marquis of Kildare, Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl of Erne, Earl Fortescue, Sir IVm. Somerville, &c Under the guidanc e o f M r . A rc hb o ld, l a t e M.P. fo • Kildare, his Royal Highness inspected in the first inr stance the black cattle. He subsequently passed int - the lawn, and took a walk through the sheep-penso He expressed himself highly pleased with all he saw,. and with the arrangements made for his reception. Having here concluded his round of visits his Royal Highness, accompanied by Lord Clarendon, returned to the Viceregal Lodge. • - ILLUMINATIONS. Dublin is again illuminated this evening, in honour of the Queen. The streets are crowded with pro menaders, who seem as determined as on the day of her Majesty's arrival to honour the Queen by enjoy ing a little relaxation. They seem resolved to show their loyalty to the Sovereign by making themselves as happy as pleasure can make them. For the last week nothing has been spoken of but levees and drawing-rooms, and reviews in the Phoenix-park, and ladies' dresses and military uniforms, and stars of gas, and crowns and harps, and triumphal arches. A rumour that the Queen is coming is quite sufficient at any hour of the day or night to bring the whole population to their doors and windows. [PRICE 5D* the clergy of the city of all denominations. The procession will then form and cross Glasgow bridge, at the northern end of which a triumphal arch of gigantic proportions is being rapidly erected. It is as yet in the mere skeleton, but will by and by put on its leafy covering—an operation, however, which it must perform very speedily, or her Majesty may surprise it in a state of unsightly bereness. Loyalty a flame which must burn very strongly in the Glazgowegian bosom, judging from the crowds which ere gathered day and night to witness the progress of the work, although the rain occasionally falls in torrents almost sufficient t extiegulsh the stupendous smelting furnaces which burn here perpetually. The procession will then pass up Jamaica-street to Argyle -street (the Oxford-street of G:a'gosv), which it will descend to the Cross at the junction of High.street with the Salt market, where some wish it to deflect a little to the right, to point out to her Majesty the exact residence of B iilie Nicol Jarvie. It will then ascend High-street affording her Majesty a fine opportunity of ap preciating the peculiar architecture of the old town, first to the College, and then to the Cathe dral or High Church About the former a rather incredible ru mour i s a fl oat. I t i s a venerable pile, with quaint quadr ang l es , cy li n d r i ca l towers covtred with conical roofs, and enclosing spiral staircases and fantastic old gables, which frown down upon the y narrow thoroughf are . During the railway mania this fine old st ruc t ure h ad a very narrow escape, for it was nearly sold t o ma k e room for a terminus to a railway calling itself C a l e d on i an. A still more igno minious fate, it is said, now awaits it. Th e old pile is black and begrimed with age, and the on dit is, that the bailies, after mature and anxious deliberation, have determined to whitewash it for the occasion. I have been assured that the process has already com menced, the first assault having been made upon a lion and unicorn which decorate the edifice, and which are already brilliantly arrayed in carbonate of lime. I cannot vouch for the truth of this story, as in every community there are to be found people malicious enough to make civic dignitaries the subjects of the most extravagant rumours. Passing the College, the Queen will ascend to the Cathedral, in doing which she will, in all probability, be conducted to an ancient mansion a little off the thoroughfare, which smacks strongly of the fourteenth century, and which was, at one time, graced with the presence of her unfortunate predecessor, Mary Stuart. Arrived at the Cathedral, she will have the opportu nity of inspecting the progress made by her Woods and Forests in repairing the noble pile, which is the great ornament of Glasgow. To the eternal credit of the citizens, at the epoch of the Reformation, they turned out, almost to a man, to prevent their cathe dral from being levelled to the ground, in obedience to the stern and barbarous edict of Knox, which caused the destruction of almost every other eccle siastical edifice in the country which had been reared by Roman Catholic hands. Her Majesty will here be pointed out the stern Reformer himself, effigied in stone, and surmounting the capital of a stunted pillar, which crowns the summit of the magnificent burial-ground of Glasgow, whose silent terraces will form a striking contrast to the joyous multitudes who will give her welcome in their neigh bourheod. In inspecting the Cathedral, her Majesty will descend to the crypt, containing the tomb of St. Mungo, the patron saint of the locality, the crypt being familiar to all who have read " Rob Roy." Leaving the Cathedral, the procession will take the line of George-street to Buchanan-street, the fashion able promenade. Descending Buchanan-street, it will abut once more upon Argyle-street, whence it will ascend Queen-strest to the railway•station, from which her Majesty will take her departure for Perth, where she will rest for the night. Her Majesty's sojourn in the western metropolis will thus not extend beyond a few hours—much to the regret of the good people of the city. In the whole course of her journey her Majesty will not receive a more hearty welcome than from the loyal citizens of Glasgow. IRELAND. THE QUEEN'S DEPARTURE. PUBLIN, FRIDAY MORNING. The preparation 3 for her Majesty's departure are completed; and there is nearly as great anxiety for tickets for the platform a . ad terrace at the Kingstown Railway station as then had been on Monday last to witness the landing. In front of the Dublin station house the directors have erected a handsome awning, under which her Majesty is to pass on her entrance. The arrangements at the Kingstown terminus are unaltered, the canopies, &c., remaining as before. In the brief telegraphic dispatch forward, ,l yesterday evening, I mentioned that her Majesty is to take her departure at five p.m. this day. She will probably be on board the Royal yacht at half past five o'clock. The Royal party will leave; ,the Viceregal Lodge precisely at five. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO CARTON. At ten o'clock this morning her Majesty and Prince Albert, with the Lord Lieutenant and the Countess of Clarendon, are to proceed to Carton, on a brief visit to the Duke and Duchess of Leinster, who have invited a large party to meet her Majesty and her illustrious Consort at a dijeune. The beautiful demesne of Carton will be opened to the public on the occasion. The Royal party are to leave Carton early this afternoon, and return to the Viceregal Lodge previous to her Majesty's departure for Belfast. BIRMINGHAM AND ITS EXE2IIPTION FROM CHOLERA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. SIR,—In 1832 Birmingham had not a single indigenous case of cholera, though surrounded by districts in which it was alarmingly prevalent and muro than ordinarily fatal. Again, in 1849, this singular immunity exists. Not a solitary case of cholera up to the pres2nt moment has, I believe, been discovered here. it not worth white for scientific men to investigate the causes of an exemption so remarkable ?

THE CLAIMS OF MISS JANE TUCKER TO BE CONSIDERED THE ORIGINATOR OF TUE GOVERNESSES' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—A public meeting was held on Friday, the loth of August, at Exeter Hall, to investigate the particulars and evidence of this singular and very hard case, when it was clearly prove] that this indefatigable lady eleven years ago originated this cha ritable institution, and that for five successive years she devoted, not only her time and strength, but her means to accomplish the undertaking; and yet by a mysterious act of injustice she is still unprovided, homeless, and destitute. The Rev. Richard Cobbold, M.A., honorary member of the institution, took the chair; and among the numerous friends who were present, we noticed J. S. Buckingham, Esq., Luke J. Hansard, Esq., the Rev.

The pastor of the place allowed the ne , -born child, who was baptised by the name of Ledru Rollin, to be presented in the sacred edi fice clothed in red, and wearing the Phrygian cap. This tolerance, which the pastor called' prudent,' has already borne its fruits. Names more significant than that of Ledru Rollin have been given to other infants; one, for instance, has been baptised .Barl - eL We imagined that, henceforth, oil the new-born Labes of Clavi,ll:.:n would belong, from the cradle, to the crest of the Red Moun t ,in, when, to oar great surprise, a slight reactionary movement was manifested. One of the last children pre sented for baptism aspired to the name of General Ca• vaignac. Actuated by a tardy indignation at the part to which he had been condemned for some weeks, the pas • tor refused his assent, and obliged the parents to seek another name out of the political calendar."

UNDER ROYAL PATRONAGE •s ESVLEY, FISHER, AND CO.'S CONCENTRATED ESSENCE OF JAMAICA GINGER. —This Preparation contens, in a highly concentrated state, and without the addition of any snore heating stimulant, all the car minative and restorative properties of till; useful and grateful aro matic, separated from the ligneous fibre which constitutes the hulk of the root. As few stomachs are able to bear a sufficient quantity of the powder to produce the desired effect, BE WL EY, FISHER, and CO. conceive this form of exhibition the most convenient, when taken in water, tea, beer, wine, &c. ; or for combination with other medicine, ten drops being equal to eight grains of the powder. It is rec.,nnnended to persons of Phlegmatic, Gouty, Dyspeptic, and Ner vous titbits. Its beneficial effects are quickly diffused througho it the whole system, relieving cramps, spasms, flatulency, pain, and sense of oppressi. is after meals, and restoring the tone of the stomach. Its utility is also manifested as an adjunct to other medi cines, and in correcting the chill which soda and oilier aerated or mineral waters give the stomach, as well as in adding to their tonic property.

THE CHOLERA AT DEVONPORT (TutfusDAY). — The cholcra is much better to-day here. 111,,j0r Moore, of the 82d, seized last night, is dead. Five companies of the 823 started this morning Ly rail for Exeter. No case in the 28th Regiment, nor in the Artillery. Mr. Pike, late clerk of the dockyard, was taken last night, and there is no hope of his recovery. He was never seen better than he was yesterday. THE QUEEN'S DRAWING-ROOM. Her Majesty held her first drawing-room in the capital of Ireland, at Dublin Castle, on Thursday night. It was announced that the brilliant scene would be opened et nine o'clock, and as her Majesty' is known to be remarkable fur punctuality, for some time before that hour the streets along the line of route from the Viceregal Lodge to the Castle—and especially those in its vicinity—were densely crowded by persons anxious to see her Majesty pass, and to give her a warm and enthusiastic reception. The public buildings and the establishments at which gas fittings for the purpose of the illuminations had been put up, were brilliantly lighted, so that what with the attraction thus created, the mildness and beauty of the night, the glittering equipages passing every moment to set down those proceeding to the drawing room, and the number of persons who thronged the streets, apparently finding much enjoyment in what was going on, the scene that presented itself was pe culiarly interesting and exciting. A party of the Rifles, with the admirable band of that corps, were stationel in the Upper Castle-yard, where there was assembled a considerable number of persons who ob tained admission by tickets, and hoped to catch a glimpse of her Majesty as she alieited from her carriage at the grand entrance. The windows of the entire range of the building were brilliantly lit, and the effect was very fine. Precisely at nine o'clock the approach of the royal carriages was announced, and immediately afterwards they drove up Parliament- street, having proceeded along the south quays from the park. The royal party was escorted by two troops of the 6th Car•- bineers, and as her Majesty passed she 'was loudly and enthusiastically cheered. In the carriage with the Queen was his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the other carriages conveyed the Marquis of Lansdowne, Sir George Grey, Lord Fortescue, and several members of the royal household. Upon the carriage in which the Queen sat entering the gate, the band of the Rifles played the National Anthem; and, when her Majesty and the Prince alighted, a loud and hearty cheer burst from those present, many eagerly rushing forward to catch a sight of them as they entered. Her Majesty's dress was of Irish manufacture — pink poplin, beautifully embroidered with shamrocks. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort were received at the principal entrance by the Earl and Countess of Clarendon, and conducted to the Throne-room. The presentations at the general Drawing-room were extremely numerous, and lasted till twenty minutes after twelve o'clock, when the Royal party left for the Viceregal Lodge in the same order as they arrived. PREPARATIONS FOR THE RECEPTION OF HER MAJESTY IN GLASGOW. GLASGOW, THURSDAY EVENING. - The prepara tions for the Queen's reception here are progressing apace. The manner in which the lieges of Cork were taken by surprise has put the magistracy and people upon the alert, lest they too should be caught unprepared. All i 3 bustle and activity along the chief thoroughfares of the city through which the royal precession will pass. The streets are torn up, as if the commercial metropolis of Scotland were in a state of incipient revolution, and a strong line of strong wooden barriers is being erected for the pur pose of enabling theaexpected procession to pass un molested through the dense crowds which line the streets. All this throws very serious impediments in the way of business; but these, with a considerable drain upon the city funds, constitute the price at which the people of Glasgow are ungrudgingly pre paring to testify their loyalty to the Queen on the occasion of her first visit to their noble city. It is expected that the royal squadron will arrive in the Clyde on Sunday. In that case it will anchor off Gourock, about 25 miles below Glasgow, and directly opposite the entrance into the wild and mag nificent Loch Long. Her Majesty will remain on board the royal yacht until the following morning,. when she will ascend the Clyde in the Fairy. passing the towns of Greenock, Helensborough, Port Should .he and Dumbarton, to the city of Glasgow. arrive on what is here called a " lawful s day S, " reach squadron of course ascend the river at once, unless she will make Gourock at too late an hour.
