SPIRIT OF Tin PfIBLIC JOURNALS. The debate on Tuesday in the House of Com mons upon Mr. Roebuck's motion, with regard to the mighty griev ances o f a cer t a i n party in the lower province of the Cana:slas., oftist hot only have been highly interesting ft% t'al connected with these tine offsets of the titt}ent empire, but also to all who have anv respect for the British Constitution. We Ere the lad who would tolerate public abuses, and, therefere, we are gratified that Mr. Stanley's amend ment, "to inquire how far the grievances corn. Pla;:aea of by the inhabitants of Lower Canada in 1828 were founded in justice ; and how far the re commendations of the committee then appointed were attended to," was fink tlx adopted by the House. It will show to the restless and " the-manger" part of this noble population (we in clude under the noble many of the descendants of the French Canadians)--it will show them that the British government and parliament can discriminate between factious outcry and political abuses. We would ask if the tide of voluntary emigration and the influx of British capital is to be checked by the democratical reasoning of the hon. move r In his cut and-dried speech :' ii iVe trust not, and from eur knowledge of publi c opinion in the Canada*, We will venture to say that the major part of the population dread nothing so much as the spread of demo cratical doctrines ; they 'know too well the value or the protection and the mild sway of the Bri tish empire to foster such notions as Mr. Roe buck and bis tutor, Mr. Viger, would have a British parliament believe. The Yankee family have for some time been very lax in their praises of a Nave form of government, and late ev en t s slave not increased their partiality for it. There fore Mr. Roebuck's argument was founded in error. Let us ask Mr. Viger, whose supporters can afford to allow him 1,7001. per annum as grievance am bassador, why they are so inconsistent as not to pay the salaries of their judges and public officers ; and whether this line of policy is likely to give their own party security ? The sense of this grow !ns colony will soon demonstrate to the contrary. The amazingi-improvements which, by magic, as it tvere, 110 :. , e started into life, have been fostered by , isrit.s . o energies and British capital; under the as `..urance of protection from British laws and institu tions. Let "les enfans du sal" enjoy their ancient privileges ; but let them not forget that they share the protection of the British government equally with every emigrant who breaks the soil of the Canadas, to the .silent but sure aggrandisement of those hitherto almost useless tracks of Atlantic wastes. We wish that every colony of the British empire should participate with those institutions of the parent state which tend to the security of real freedom and an impartial administration of the law ; but we must set our face against faction ; yet we repeat that we are pleased that Mr. Stanley's motion was adopted, because we hate abuses when they exist, and because we respect our colonies as integral parts of the British empire.—Morning Herald. Any measure for the substantial and safe com mutation of tithe must, from the peculiar nature of that property, and from the condition of the public feelings with regard to it, be attended with extreme difficulty when brought to the test of practice. We fear that there has been a good deal of self-decep tion indulged by two classes of people on this sub- Jtet, and that the outcry against the tithe system, an irksome and tormenting system, and for that reason, if for no other, grossly impolitic in an age like this, has derived much of its foi cc, both among landlords and farmers, from the notion that a com mutation of tithe would amount to nothing less than a transfer of it to their own pockets, albeit the latter would even in that case, we suspect, Dave been disappointed, as to their proportion of the spoil. Lord Althorp, therefore, took a manly part in stating two distinct propo sitions, very near the commencement of his speech on Tuesday. Ist. That tithe was at all events not the property of the English land lords, and on being taken away from the church could not be claimed by them. 2d. That the total amount of tithe received by the clergy would not be, if ditly"distributed, more than an adequate re muneration for ,the fulfilment of their religious duties. In his explanations of the measure by which Lord Althorp announced that it was his de sign to follow up the resolutions which lie proposed, and afterwards amended, we cannot state that his Lordship was altogether so successful or satisfac tory as might be wished. We have, however, obtained from a well-informed correspondent such a summary of the projected Commutation Bill as may at least render its provisions intelligible, whether it vindicates them from all objection, or leaves them still sub lite. In reading Lord Althorp's speech we had been perplexed by the manner in which the valuation, first, of land, and second, of tithe, was recommended. It appeared to us that two standards, somewhat irreconcileable, had been resorted to,—one of fact, as to the amount of tithe which had been received during those years when the average was to be collected, and the other touching rent, which was to be determined by mere esti»late of the value of such land as should he submitted to survey. It now appears, however, that the actual rent is to be taken as the measure of value for land, save only in disputed cases, or where a manifest disproportion exists between the rent reserved and the real value per acre, or where fraud or collusion is presumable. There are three provisions of the measure on which some diversity of opinion may be expected,—namely, that which draws a distinction between the tithes of arable and pasture lands ; that which determines the future payment of the commuted tithe in each parish by an average drawn from the whole of the parishes in a given county or extensive•district ; and lastly, that which fixes the price of redemption or release from all future payments at twenty-five years' purchase of the new tithe-rate. The partisans of the more stiff-necked among the clergy will say, perhaps, that it is. hard upon the church to fix the amount of tithe for pasture lands at a lower rate than for land under tillage, inasmuch ass-. the land owner nilay instantly afterwards find his account in converting the favoured soil from pasture to the plough, and thus the incumbent be, as it 'were, de frauded : but, first, if the security against a future increase of tithe-rate proportioned to the agricultu ral produce should operate as an encouragement to the outlay of capital required by the change in ques tion from grass to corn, it may prove a great public benefit ; and next, it cannot be of lasting detriment to the clergy, because the bill proposes a revision of the land after the expiration of every seven years, and a corresponding adjustment of the tithe-rate to any inc rease of agriculturalproduction. On the other hand, there are those who take a directly opposite view of this clause, and reproach the Government with gross partiality to the church, for not consti tution. the low tithe of pasture land as the basis on which to ground every estimate of future pay ments to the clergy. To us it appears that the distinction is a fair one, as suggested by the bill, and that while it simplifies the business of the valuers, it is indispensable towards any. Just ap portionment of the ecclesiastical claims. With regard to the future assessment of tithe-rate upon each parish being governed by an average of all the parochial scales throughout an entire county, it is not without its liabilities to injustice either against the parishioners or against the church. Like the bed of Procrustes, it stretches 'the short payments, and curtails the full ones, to meet a central standard of supposed perfection, by which means—whatever good it may otherwise effect—it undoubtedly alters the relations of almost all parishes with almost all i nc umbents, and produces, possibly, a change de trimental to poor parishes, where a relaxation of the parson's demand may have been found necessary, but favourable to more affluent communities which could well afford the complete liquidation of their tithes. It is true, of course, that a rigid adherence to the rate of tithe levied in each' particular parish might, in some instances, work harshly against the tithe-payers ; and in others, where the incumbent was improvidently liberal, might hurt the permanent interests of the church ; but surely, if lands too low rented can be valued with a view to ascertain what rents they might pay, so might they be valued to obtain a precise estimate of what tithes they egh." i -to pay, without resorting to the clumsy expedient of legislating for one parish from ma terials supplied by others differently circum stanced. We imagine that this plan of county estimates for parochial payments stands some chance of being eventually given up. Lastly, with respect to the terms of redemption, and the number of years' purchase taken at 25: It would seem a more reasonable proposition to inquire what have been the usual number of years' purchase hitherto paid for tithes on the transfer of lay impropriations, and to decide by them: But there is another dif ficulty. The market for the sale of other estates fluctuates with the value of money. Why, then, lay down one inexorable law whereby the purchaser of tithe property must in all cases be restricted ? Nothing is more probable than that in the vicissi tudes of affairs other rent-charges may fall four or five years below their present price. Ought, then, the party subject to one species of rent-charges to be excluded by the law from all advantage deri vable from the charges of the money-market. At least, if the rate of purchase be a fixed one, let it be a moderate one, that men who are compelled to deal with a vast corporation may not be subjected to needless hardship in the laudable effort to clear their properties from debt. Nor do we see any valid reason why the lands to be bought for the clergy should be exempt from those parochial rates and charges to which the lands of all other Englishmen are subject. Sir Robert Peel's objec tion deserves consideration, that in such case it would be the interest and aim of the church to buy up the land most heavily burdened with poor rates, thus throwing an increased proportion of them on their neighbours. While we are on this tithe sub ject, it may be as well to add that the lay proprie tors of rectorial tithe ought to be compelled in some way or other to provide more adequately for the wants of the clergy who perform the vicarial duties of their respective parishes. In no bad temper to wards the Tithe Commutation Bill or its authors, we have hastily thrown together the few foregoing remarks. Notwithstanding the doubts which strike us as to certain clauses of the proposed measure, we can state a conscientious and cordial hope that it will be so amended where faulty, as to secure a speedy and triumphant passage through both Houses of Parliament. All men of all parties express the most anxious desire to see the tithe question set at rest, and whatever may hap , en with regard to Ire land, here we do think that all obstacles to that happy issue may be successfully encountered. ANALYSIS OF THE TITHE COMMUTA TION 13 ILL. PILINCIPLES OF THE BILL FO:. THE COMMUTATION AND REDEMPTION OF TITHES. Valuers are to be appointed in the different counties, whose duty it will be to ascertain the actual annual value of the lands in each parish now subject to tithes, distin guishing the land into two classes—arable and not. arable. The rent paid, it is presumed, will in general be taken to be the annual value ; so that actual valuation will not be necessary, except where the land is manifestly let above or below its real value, and where the parties interested cannot agree, or where fraud or collusion is suspected. The valuers will in like manner ascertain the amount of tithes paid by the same lands in each parish on the average of the last five years, distinguishing the amount paid by arable, and the amount paid by not arable. This having been done for each parish of a county or district, the proportion between the total tithe paid for all the parishes in that district and the rent of the land which pays it is determined, and this proportion becomes the tithe rate of the county or district, and continues invari able. In ascertaining this tithe rate, the distinction be tween arable and not arable is preserved. For example— suppose the annual value of the arable land is 100,0001., and the value of the tithe 20,000/. ; the arable tithe rate will be in that district 4s. per pound on the annual value or rent. Suppose the rent of the pasture land in the same district to be 80,000/. ' the tithe 10,000/„• the non-arable tithe-rate will be 2s. 6d. per pound on the rent of land not arable. These respective rates, viz., 4s. per pound and 2s. 6d. per pound, being thus determitril for the dis trict, are to remain fixed and unalterable ; but the annual value of the land is subject to revision every seven years ; so that the amount paid in lieu of tithe may riw or fall at these intervals with the rent of the land which pays it. The payment of this sum is cast upon the landlord instead of the tenant, a provision which at once removes the cause of those frequent disputes between the clergyman and his pa rishioners, not less destructive of the moral influence of the one than injurious to the real interests of both. So far the measure is imperative. If the landowner is of opinion that the value of land is falling, he may not be disposed to proceed further; if, on the contrary, he ex- I pects that it will rise, or if he means to lay out capital on his land, he may convert (if unwilling or unable to redeem in the manner to be explained presently) the annual tithe charge above.rnentioned, and subject to certain variations depending on the value of the land, into a fixed and per manent rent charge, estimated in bushels of wheat, in the manner usually adopted in regulating corn rents. By adopting for the value of tithes the average payment of the last five years, an actual valuation is avoided, which it is well known would raise very materially the total amount of tithe paid throughout England. By determin ing the tithe-rate for a distract or county, the injustice so loudly and fairly complained of in the bill of last year,' of fixing a heavy permanent charge on a parish where tithes had been severely exacted, and a light charge where they had been moderately taken, is avoided. By the present plan, where the demand has been severe, it will be re duced, where it has been unusually small, it will be in creased, where it has been moderate, it will continue nearly the same. The amount, therefore, to be paid to the tithe owners in lieu of tithes in any county or district, will re main unchanged, though its -'distribution may be thus par tially altered. _ _ But while the consequence of determining the tithe rate for each individual parish would have been the objection able result which we have explained, on the other hand too large a district is to be avoided. There are local cus toms observed in valuing and paying tithe peculiar to different counties, and so generally observed as essentially to affect the value of the land. In Northumberland and other northern counties, for example, it is the practice to value the crops annually ; in Devonshire to take a portion of the rent ; in Kent to collect in kind, or to enter into composition for a certain number of years. In the latter county, where the collecting in kind is not unusual, the value of tithe is much nearer its true value than in those counties where the practice is rare. These differences, however, are so marked, and the value of land is so much affected by them, that it becomes desirable to limit and de fine the districts, according to the prevalence of particular customs, as well as the nature of the cultivation, and the general fertility and character of the soil. As the tithe of poor land bears a larger proportion to rent than the tithe of rich land, and a rate bearing the same proportion to the rent is to be imposed on both, the poor land will be somewhat benefitted at the expense of the rich; but there can be no great objection, we conceive, to an ar rangement which does nothing more than equalize the bur dens of the poor land and the rich. In the case of hop land, a fixed sum of shillings per acre will be charged in addition to that which it would have paid if only subject to the arable tithe rate of the county ; and any land on which the tithe rate may have been redeemed shall nevertheless become subject to this fixed annual charge if hops be grown thereon. With respect to the redemption, it is provided that any owner of land may, by a payment equal to twenty-five years' purchase of the annual charge, determined in the manner above-mentioned, free his land from such charge for all time to come. The fixed rent charge, the nature of which we have already explained, may also be redeemed at the same rate. At the present rate of interest this will not yield to the clergyman so much as he receives from the tithe ; but this small pecuniary sacrifice will probably be snore than compensated by, the certainty and facility of pay ment., and the removal of those many annoyances to which he is now subject. The purchase-money of all clerical tithes :to be paid to commissioners appointed by the bishop of the diocese, and to be invested in the public securities or inland, or on mortgage, as may seem to them most expedient. When the whole or any portion of the purchase-money for any parish is invested in land, such land must be situated either in the parish itself or in an adjoining parish, and is to be considered as glebe land, under the control and manage ment of the incumbent, who is empowered to grant a lease for 21 years; but restrained from receiving any fine or premium for its renewal. Such we believe to be the outline of the proposed mea sure ; we have endeavoured to explain its principles,'avoid ing all technicality and as much detail as possible. When the bill is before the house we shall again return to the subject, and point out the provisions for adjusting the pro portion between great and small tithes--for regulating the mode of proceeding in those cases where the produce of the land is wholly or in part protected by a modus, and where tithes are let on lease for a term of years or for lives. The tithes or the lay impropriator are, we perceive, to be dealt with in the same manner as those of the church. Times. We refer our readers to a very interesting dis cussion, on the subject of education, in the House of Lords last night. The country will be delighted to learn from the Lord Chancellor the amount of the income of the foundations for charitable pur poses. The amount at present is 800,0001. per annum, but with proper management, the amount would be 1,200,0001. His Lordship touched on a nice question—that of the extent to which effect ought to be given to the intentions of founders. In all times the legislature of this country has inter fered with foundations. The statute of Mortmain is and early and suitable example. The transfer ence of property bequeathed to the church to pri vate individuals and colleges, at the reformation, is another instance: It is not long since the Univer sity of 'Oxford, under a foundation, paid a yearly sum to a clergyman for preaching a sermon to prove the evils of witchcraft ; and we believe the cler rgyman is now alive, whose printed sermons we pos sess. This has been done away with. Lord Brougham alluded to the noxious establishments of the Small Pox Hospital 'and Foundling Hospital. There is a difference between wanton interference with foundations, and the rendering them useful instead of being noxious. It may be questioned whether any foundation can exist for a long space without requiring correction. What would have been at this day a ftiundation made in the time of William the Conqueror ? Lord Wynford, by claim ing for the Church of England the merit of the va rious foundations for education, led Lord Brougham to settle the respective claims of the Dissenters and Churchmen in a very edifying way. He did the Churchmen the justice to say, that though they never originated any liberal or benevolent measures for the public good, they always followed the ex ample set by the Dissenters ; which humility on their part was, he thought, very creditable to them. We should have had no attempts at diffuse infor mation among the people, but for the Dissenters. His Lordship, however, did not state, that when Sunday schools were first established by Mr. Raikes and a number of liberal Dissenters, the Churchmen opposed themselves strenuously to the attempt. In those clays it was enough to be connected with establishing a Sunday school to be persecuted by the Church. • We believe that Barrington, Bishop of Durham, was one of the first of the clergy of the establishment, who, so far from opposing, encouraged Sunday schools.—Morning Chronicle.

Watlins, robbery ; Mary Slater, stabbing and cutting with intent to.kill ; Thomas Richardson, alias Morris, and Charles Stammer, sacrilege. Several minor sentences were passed. Sentence was respited on Mary Anne Wemyss, for robbing her brother. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO W-STREET. A very fashionably-dressed man, about thirty-five years of age, who gave his name Alexander Watkins, was charged with stealing ten sovereigns and three half sovereigns in the shop of Messrs. Bull and Wil son, woollen-drapers in St. Martin's-lane. The prisoner went into the shop on Tuesday morn ing, and walking with an air of nonchalance up to the cashier's desk, asked a lad who was there to oblige him with two half sovereigns for a sovereign, which was done at once. The prisoner looked at the two pieces, and said he wanted one of the new coinage. The lad produced the money-bowl upon the counter, and endeavoured to find one, but could not, and the prisoner said, " Allow me," and took out a handful of gold with his right hand, having at the time his pocket handkerchief in his left. The porter of the firm was induced to watch him, and saw him drop part of the gold into his handkerchief, and return the rest to the bowl. He repeated this two or three times, and then put the handkerchief into his pocket, and when he drew his hand out conveyed it to his mouth, and ap peared to put something there with his finger and thumb. Mr. Wilson was called, who taxed him with the robbery, and he said with much coolness, " Why , you know how it is, and there need be no noise about it." lie attempted to force his way out of the shop, but Mr. Wilson threatened to knock him down if he did not submit quietly. A police constable was sent for, who found eight sovereigns and three halves upon him, some of which were in his coat pocket, and others in his mouth. Ten sovereigns and three halves were missed from the stock of the gold in the bowl. The prisoner declined saying any thing, and was fully committed for trial. UNION-HALL. William Edwards, a clerk in the employment of Mr. Blackwell, residing at Camberwell, was brought be fore Mr. WEDGWOOD, charged with embezzling money to a large amount, with which he attempted to escape to America. The prisoner, in his situation as clerk to the prose cutor, the acting executor for a Mr. Lancefield, was authorised to receive moneys due to the .estates of the latter deceased gentleman. Suspicion had been re cently excited that the prisoner had received various sums for which he did not account, and upon a recent inquiry into the subject it was discovered that he had embezzled between 5001. and 6001. Previously, how ever, to the detection of those dishonest practices the prisoner absconded from the service of the prosecutor, who gave information of the fact, and by the vigilance of the metropolitan police he was taken into custody on board of a vessel which was on the point of getting wider weigh for New York. He shipped himself on board as a cabin passenger, and had equipped himself with all the necessaries requisite for his appearance in another hemisphere, and when brought to the office was dressed in fashionable attire. On examination eighty sovereigns were found in his possession, and some trunks were found on board the vessel in which he had taken his passage containing wearing apparel and other property. Mr. Rawson, of Leadenhall-market, proved that he paid the prisoner one sum of •?61. 55., and produced the receipt, which sum it was given in evidence he had converted to his own use, instead of handing it over to the prosecutor. The prisoner was committed. Yesterday, as the Commons were about to adjourn, a petition that was not heard in the gallery, was presented from Anthony Buck, alleging the loss of his sight in the expedition to the arctic regions, under the command of Captain Ross. It was ordered to be referred to the select committee on the Arctic seas expedition. HIS MAJESTY'S LEVEE. Their Majesties arrived at St. James's about half-past one o'clock yesterday afternoon, from Windsor Castle, and were received by the Duke of Cumberland and the Duchess of Gloucester. . Soon after his arrival the King:gave audience in the Royal Closet to Mr. Sheriff Wilson and Mr. Sheriff Harmer, who were accompanied by the City Remem brancer. The Sheriffs received his Majesty's commands respecting his reception of the:Address from the Corpora tion of the City of London, the King appointing half-past two o'clock in the afternoon. His Majesty held a Chapter of the Most Ancient. and Noble Order of the Thistle. By a recent Statute of the King, as Sovereign of the Order, reviving an old Statute, the Knights wore the rich green velvet mantles of the Order at the ceremony, and 'were robed by Messrs. Webb and Hunter in the Portrait Gallery. The Knights present were the Earl of Aberdeen, the Earl of Warwick, and the Earl of Aboyne. The Officers of the Order were Mr. Quarne ( Gentleman Usher of the Green Rod) and Sir William Woods (Clarenceux), Deputy Secretary of the Thistle. The Chapter and the Investiture was held in the Throne Room. The King wore a superb new mantle, and also wore the Collar of the Order. The Knights having taken their seats, Sir William Woods introduced the Earl of Erroll ; the usual oath was administered to his Lordship, and the King afterwards invested the Noble Earl with the Riband and Badge of the Order. His Lordship was not Knighted, having been Knighted on a former occasion. The Duke of Wellington, with the principal members of the University of Oxford, including the Representatives of the University in the House of Commons, Mr. Estcourt and Sir Robert Inglis, arrived at the palace, to present to the King the address from the University of Oxford. His Grace wore the robes of Chancellor of the University, and also the robes of the Order of the Garter. The procession passed up the Portrait Gallery, and entered George the Third's room, where the Foreign Ambassadors and Minis ters, and those who have the privilege of the entre, were assembled. The centre door leading to the Throne Room was soon afterwards opened, when the deputation (which was very numerous) were ushered into the presence of the Sovereign. His Majesty was seated on his Throne at the end of the room ; on either side of his Majesty stood on the steps and at the sides of the throne the Great Officers of State, the Officers of the Royal Household, and the King's Ministers. Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Cumberland and Gloucester were also present. The honourable Corps of Gentlemen at Arms, com manded by Sir George Pocock, their standard bearer, formed two lines in the room, between which the deputa tion from the University advanced, making their obeisances to the foot of the throne. _ . The Duke of Wellington then read the address, which was afterwards presented to his Majesty - , by whom it was handed to Viscount Melbourne, as Secretary of State for the Home Department. His Majesty returned a gracious answer to the address. Several members of the Univer sity had thehonour to kiss the King's hand, and the de putation then withdrew. The King then held a Levee, at which the following had audiences of his Majesty : The Count St. Martin D'Aglie, the Sardinian Minister, on his return from a leave of absence. The Chevalier de Vial, the Spanish Minister, to deliver his re-credentials. _ The Marquis de Miratlores, Count Florida Blanca, to deliver his credentials, as successor—to the Chevalier de Vial from the Court of Spain. Their Excellencies were severally introduced by Vis count Palmerston, Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and conducted by Sir Robert Chester, the Master of the Ceremonies. In the Circle, the following were presented to his Ma jesty : Mons. Serruys, Charge d'Affaires from the King of the Belgians at the Court of Lisbon, by M. Van de Weyer, the Belgian Minister. Reverend Calvin Colton, of New York, by Mr. Vail, United States' Charge d'Affaires. Count de Sercey, by the Prince de Talleyrand. The following were also presented to his Majesty : Lord Denman, on being created a Peer, by the Lord Chancellor. Mr. Sheriff Harmer, by Lord Viscount Melbourne. Mr. Baron Williams, by the Lord Chancellor ; onwhich occasion his Majesty was graciously pleased to confer the honour of Knighthood upon him. His Majesty held a Privy Council, which was attended by the whole of the Members of the Cabinet (with the ex ception of Lord Holland) and the great officers of state. Mr. Greville was the clerk of the council in waiting. Mr. David Doyle was introduced, and re-sworn a mem ber of the Privy Council. The Corporation of the City of London came to present an Address to the King, and were introduced in a similar manner as the Deputation from the University of Oxford into the presence of the Sovereign. There - were present the Lord mayor, the Sheriffs of Lon don and Middlesex, the Recorder, several Aldermen, the City Remembrancer, the Comptroller, the Pleaders, the Chamberlain, and a numerous body of the Court of i;om mon Council. His Majesty received the Address on the throne. On the right of the King stood the Marquis of 'Winchester - , the Groom of the Stole, the Duke of Argyll, the Lord Steward, and several Ministers. On his Majesty's left were, the Earl of Albemarle, Master of the Horse; the Treasurer of the Household, the Lord Chancellor, and others of the Cabinet Ministers. The Recorder read the Address to the King ; the prayer of which Was, that his Majesty would empower the London University to grant degrees. His Majesty, in answer to the Address, said that he should refer the Petition, as he had other Petitions on the same subject, to a Committee of his Privy Council. At the Entree Levee were the Russian, Austrian, And French Ambassadors ; the Sardinian, Neapolitan, Prus sian, Swedish, Wirtemberg, Belgic, Netherlands, Spanish, Danish; Bavarian, Portuguese, razilian, Grecian, and Saxon Ministers ; the United States and Ilanoverian Charg6 d'Affaires • Baron Fagel ; Count Pollon, Secretary to the Sardinian Legation • Mons. de Hummelaur, Secre tary to the Austrian Embassy ; Baron Rehausen, Secre tary to the Swedish Legation ; the Archbishop of York, the Lord Steward, the Groom of the Stole the Master of the Horse, the Vice-Chamberlain ; Lord Hill, Gold Stick in Waiting; the Master-General of the Ordnance, the Deputy Great Chamberlain, the Captain of the Yeomen Guard, the President and Vice-President of the Board of Trade, the Treasurer of the Household, the Master of the Ceremonies ; Sir Wathen Waller, Extra Groom in Wait ing ; Mr. Backhouse, Under Secretary of State ; Master of the Robes ; the Clerk Marshal ; Sir Augustus Clifford, Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod; Major-General Mac donnell, Principal Equerry to the Queen ; the Marquis of Thomond and Sir Frederick Trench, Aides-de-camp ; Lord Saltoun, Field Officer in Waiting ; Colonel Horace Seymour, Equerry in Waiting ; Lord Elphinston and Sir Hilgrove Turner, Lord and Groom in Waiting ; Colonel Bowater, Equerry ; and Master Graves, Page of Honour.

His Majesty gave a grand dinner in the evening to the Knights Grand Crosses of the Most Honourable Military Order of the Bath. The Knights came in full costume, wearing the collar, star, or jewel of the order. They assembled in one of the state rooms ( Queen Ann's Room). Dinner having been served in the Banquetting-room, his Majesty, preceded by the Treasurer of the Household, and the Lord Steward, led the way through the Portrait Gallery, which was lined by a party of the Yeomen of the Guard, under the command of Mr. Pearson, the Exon in Waiting. The Duke of Cumberland, the Duke of Glou cester, the Duke of Gordon, the Duke of Wellington and the other Knights followed. The band of the Royal Artillery, stationed in an ante-room at the end of the gallery,_ played " God save the King," as the company passed: The Ban quetting-room presented a very splendid appearance. A new sideboard was erected at the end of the room, on which was displayed a superb assortment of plate. In the middle was a large salver, on which was represented in alto relievo, the battle in which the Emperor Adrian de feated Zenobia. On one side of this salver was the royal Standard, and on the other the Union Jack ; beneath this was an ivory vase mounted in gold, exquisitely carved ; on the lowest compartment of the sideboard was a Gothic cup, containing representations of Scriptural subjects in enamel. In addition to the above, besides a number of magnificent pieces of plate, were a beautiful nautilus, mounted by Cellini, and a goblet, part of which is formed by medallions of various members of the House of Bruns wick ; the arrangement of the sideboard was under the superintendence of Mr. J. C. Mead. - His Majesty sat immediately in front of the side-board, having the Duke of Cumberland on his right hand, and the Duke of Gloucester on his left. _ _ _ The following Knights Grand Crosses of the Order were present :—Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Cumber land and Gloucester, Lord De 'Saurnarez, Lord Howden, the Duke of Wellington, Sir George H.
