It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week. The Weekly hoard feel it their imperative duty to make an EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support, to enable them to Admit and relieve the distressing cases that daily present themselves.

The ladies in the processions and those invited to the Chapel will wear full dress, with plumes, but without trains. The gentlemen will wear uniform, or full-dress coats, with trousers. The Knights of the several orders present will wear their respective collars. The route for all the carriage processions will be through George IV.' s Gate, down the Castle-hill, and through Henry VIII.'s Gate, and the carriage processions will return to the Castle by the same route.

Two Yeomen of the Guard will stand beneath the Royal Closet. The space in the Nave of the Chapel from the western door to the entrance of the Choir will be lined by the Yeo • men of the Guard. THE WEDDING DRESS.—The Princess's wedding dress will consist of a petticoat of pearl-white silk, em broidered with the rose, thistle, and shamrock, trimmed with four rows of silver lace round the bottom, robing up the centre, over which will be suspended a train of crimson velvet, magnificently embroidered with the same designs in silver as the petticoat. The bodice and sleeves are com posed of the same costly material. The Princess will be attended by eight bridesmaids, four on each side,—on the right, Lady Diana Beauclerk, Lady Elma Bruce, Lady Eleanor Hare, and Lady Emily Villiers,—on the left, Lady Feodore Wellesley, Lady Agnete Yorke, Lady Vic toria Howard, and Lady Victoria Scott. It is to be much regretted that the number originally given has been cur tailed, owing to indisposition. Lady Georgiana Hamilton, the daughter of the Marquis of Abercorn, who was to have been a bridesmaid, is, we believe, suffering from measles. The costumes of the bridesmaids are composed of a rich white glace slip, covered with tulle skirts—the bottom trimmed with a ruche of bouillonnes of tulle, the middle one looped up in spaces all round with bouquets of blush roses, heather, and shamrock. From the waist falls a long tulle tunique, which is festooned on one side with two long hang ing bouquets of roses, &c. ; the body and sleeves trimmed to correspond with tulle and flowers. Coiffure, a wreath of roses, heather, and shamrock, with a long tulle veil falling from the back of the head.—Court Journal. THE THEATRES AND THE ROYAL MARRIAGE.— A notice was on Friday issued from the Home Office to the various metropolitan managers, instructing them to open the theatres gratuitously to the public on Tuesday evening next, the Treasury having agreed to the scale of payment arranged with the managers at the Lord Chamber lain's office ; and further, that Sir Richard Mayne has been instructed to communicate with the several managers as to the issue of tickets in the morning for the admission of the public in the evening. Each manager had to sign this document. rIIE LIVERPOOL WEDDING GlFT.—Animated with a desire similar to that which has been evinced in every community throughout the kingdom, great anxiety has been felt in Liverpool to give characteristic expres sion to the loyalty and affection which all classes feel towards the Roy al family on the occasion of the marriageof his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. Ever forward where good taste and good feeling are to be displayed, the ladies of Liverpool adopted a resolution to present the Princess Alexandra with a bridal souvenir, and for. that purpose a committee was formed, and souvenir subscriptio.n entered into limited to a maximum of two guineas. Within a very short time £l,OOO was subscribed by upwards of 900 ladies, and with this sum the committee, after mature de liberation, selected a sup erb diamond cross, consisting of 11 large and valuable brilliants, worth in all 800, together wwitha pearl necklace , valued at £l5O, and £ these, accom panied by an illuminated address, are to be presented to her Royal Highness. The cross and necklace were supplied by Mr. Joseph Mayer, and these, with the address and signa tures, are enclosed in a white morocco portfolio furnished by Mr. Tooke, both of Liverpool. he Governor-General of Algeria has just issued a decree forbidding the admission of the Sp a ni s h Alger in ia su , oltnintghetogrthoune Emperord thatit journal La 111.. cussz,, i one into articles i s constantly publis... ng false news with respect to the and to France, and also Mexican expedition, PRICE.-- -.Ad.

The royal mail steamship Asia, from New York on the 25th ult., arrived here at 6.40 p.m. to-day, with 70 passengers, and 597,430 dols. in specie. She landed all the mails and five passengers, and proceeded for Liverpool at seven p.m. All well. The Asia experienced severe weather. NEW YORK, Feb. 24 (Evening). The Fed erals commenced active hostilities against Vicksburg on the 18111 inslant. The mortar boats were towed into- i osition, and commenced a brisk fire, which was responded to by three Confederate batteries, which forced the mortar boats to change their position, when they renewed the bombard ment. The Richmond Examiner states that the Federal ram Queen of the West was captured while attack ing the Confederate fortifications at Red River. Contradictory reports are current respecting a fresh invasion of Kentucky by the Confederates in force under General Longstreet. Some accounts say they are threatening Lexington, Frankfort, Danville, and Louisville. This, however, is discre dited-by some journals. It is rumoured that RoFencranz has advanced into Middle Tennessee. Trouble continues to be expe rienced' at . New Orleans concerning the coloured troops. Several' white officers have resigned, and one brigadier-general has refused to marsh with the negroes. The Richmond Enquirer says that the Southern Confederacy was the dupe of a notable imposition in regard to the reported damage doue to the Con federate iron clads off Charleston. _ The Southern journals still assert that the issue of the rebellion must be decided by Southern arms, and not by conferences or by conventions. A severe snow storm prevailed on Sunday last. The snow on the Rappahannock averages seven inches deep, rendering military operations imprac ticable. General Hooker has visited Washington for a consultation. The Confederate Governor of Virginia has con fined two Federal officers in Richmond to hard labour, in retaliation for the incarceration of two Confederate officers in Washington Penitentiary. The Washington Senate has passed the bill authorising the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act. The Committee of Ways and Means has recom mended the taxation of transactions in gold at the rate of one quarter per cent., and all transactions to be made in writing. The steamer Alice has arrived at Havana, from Mobile, with 850 bales of cotton. It is reported via California that 4,000 Mexicans had sailed from Mazatlan for Acapulco. The Glasgow put into Province Town yesterday, short of coal. NEW YORK, Feb. 25 (Morning). The news of the capture of the Federal ram Queen of the West is confirmed. All the crew escaped, except thirteen. She had six guns and a quantity of stores on board when captured. Eight hundred Confederate cavalry entered Rich mond, Kentucky, on Sunday last. It was this that gave rise to the reports of a Confederate invasion of Kentucky. A collision has taken place between the inhabi tants of Honey Valley, on the Californian and Ne vada frontier, concerning the boundary question. Both parties were fortifying themselves in log huts, and receiving reinforcements. The feeling of discontent and opposition to the policy of the Administration at Washington is said to be increasing in the North West. The debate in the House of Representatives on the Conscription Bill is very acrimonious. The De mocratic members oppose the bill, some of them declaring that an attempt to enforce it would cause a Northern rebellion. During the debate, Mr. Stevens read a letter from General Scott, Secretary of War, dated September, 1861,in which the General asserts th, t he should order General M'Clellan to be court martialled for reported disobedience of orders, " were it not that a conflict of authority near the head of the army would injure the Union cause." The New York Tribune asserts that the action of the Connecticut Democratic Convention isattracting the special attention of the Government, and that there is a limit to forbearance. The same journal says that the late Democratic Convention at Frankfort, Kentucky, which was broken up, was assembled with the intention of banding Kentucky over to the Southern Confede racy. Mr. John Van Buren has made another speech, urging the continuance of the war. 1.500 bales of cotton have arrived at New York from Havana. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

Mercier. in which, if I am to trust my informant, questions of the greatest moment were reviewed and discussed. Notwith standing the mystery observed in that interview, it is reported in diplomatic circles that Mr. Lincoln denies having had any share in the framing of a document written in reply to M. Drouyn de Lhuys' proposition, further than to have expressed, in a Cabinet Council, that the time for listening to the kind suggestions of France had not yet ar rived. He was very sorry to learn that exceptions had been d taken to the form in which the views of the Cabinet had been set forth, and he hoped the French Government tr w ation only notice the necessity imposed upon the Ad attention to to refuse its proposition, without had payi n g been presented." the manner in which the refus Washington the the Philadelphia A special despatch from Inquirer Bays :—Scouts report the Confederate General Fitz Hugh Lee, at Culpepper Court house, with 2,000 cav alry, with pickets to Hazel River and the Rappahannock.

The house then resumed consideration of the Post Office Reform Bill, and an amendment providing that all soldiers in camp or hos pital shall receive and transmit their letters free of postage was passed.

The paddlewheel sloop Fire brand, 6, Commander S. B. Piers, arrived on the 24th ult. from Gibraltar, and is now taking in con demned stores, preparatory to leaving for Englarid to be paid off. She is under orders to sail on Fri day, the 6th inst. The screw frigate Liffey,39, Capt. G. Parker, came in on the 25th ult. from Naples and Sicily, and will also leave on the 6th inst. She is to go to Athens to relieve the Phcebc screw fri gate, 35, Capt. T. D. Fortescue, and send her to Malta. The iron paddlewheel sloop Trident, Com mander C. J. Balfour, Earived on the 27th ult. from Constantinople, having been relieved there by the paddlewheel despatch boat Pseyhe, 2, Lieut.-Com mander R. Sterne. She touched at Candia and the several islands of the Archipelago on her way down, but bromAt no news of importance. The iron storeship Supply, 2, Master-Cirnmander arriv;ed on the Ist inst. from Plymouth and Gibral tar, with stores from the fleet. The screw gunboat Surprise, 4, commander W. 11. Whyte, arrived on the 2d, 21 days from Beyrout, and four days from Athens. The screw gunboat Wanderer, 4, Com mander M. C. Seymour, is expected from the coast of Syria, and the Queen, 74, screw line-of-battle ship, Capt. F. G. Hillyar, is also expected (hourly) from Corfu. The paddlewheel despatch boat Cara doe, 2, which had left England for Gibraltar and the Mediterranean, has (a telegram informs us) broken down near Lisbon, and cannot be expected in con sequence before the beginning of March. The Magi cienne, 16, paddlewheel frigate, Lieut.-Commander Durrant (temporary, in place of Captain his Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen, gone home over land to be present at the marriage of the Prince of Wales) is under orders to proceed to Corfu, with su pernumeraries, brought by the Firebrand from Gib raltar. She will return immediately to Malta. The screw sloop Icarus, Corn. Salmon, V.C., will leave with supernumeraries for the Meeance,6o, sere w line of-battle ship, Capt. G. Wodehouse, at Naples, on Friday next. Prince Alfred, lam glad to state, continues to progress favourably, but as telegrams are daily despatched home regarding his health, you will receive later news by that means. Among the numerous inquiries after his Royal Highness's health was one by telegraph from the Emperor of the French. A naval court-martial was held on board the receiving ship Hibernia, in Malta har bour, on Saturday last, to try Win. Edwin Allen, Assist.-Paymaster of H.M.S. Liffey, on two charges, for having been drunk on shore, and for having been drunk on board. The principal witness in support of the first charge was Rear. Admiral Cod rington, who bore evidence of having found the ac cused drunk on a cart on the Marina, and of having seen him put into a boat and sent off to his ship. The first charge was proved, the second not proved. He was sentenced to be reprimanded, and admo nished to be more careful in future. The 2d batta lion, 15th Regt., which now forms part of this gar rison, has been recommended for removal to another station on sanitary grounds. Collections continue to be made in this island in support of the Lanca shire distress Fund, and on Friday next, the 6th inst., the officers of the garrison will give a theatri cal performance for this object. The Melpomene, 34, screw frigate, Capt. C. S. F. Ewart, arrived at Spithead on Saturday from the West India station with the 7th battery of the 7th brigade of Royal Artillery on board from Barba does, and naval invalids from the ships on the sta tion. The 7th battery of Royal Artillery embarked at Barbadoes on the Bth ult., and the Melpomene on the 12th. The naval invalids were disembarked from the ship yesterday by the Sprightly steam tender. The artillery will land to-day, and go into quarters in Blockhouse fort at the entrance of Ports mouth Harbour. The 7th battery consists of Capt. Kelly, Surg. Ellis, Assist.-Surg. Scott, 6 sergeants, 1 trumpeter, 8 corporals, 90 gunners, 23 women, and 25 children. Col. Domville, R.A., and Lieut. Bustle, 21st Regiment., also came to England as passengers in the ship. The Melpomene awaits orders at Spithead for paying out of commission. but will most probably remain at Spithead to take part in the Royal salute and pyrotechnic display by the fleet at Spithead in honour of the Royal mar riage to-morrow evening. The Imperieuse, frigate, 34, screw, Capt. It. Gib son (acting), arrived at Spithead from the East Indies on Saturday, and like the Melpomone awaits orders relative to her paying out of commission. She will also most probably be kept at Spithead until after the naval spectacle to-morrow evening. The ships of war now at Spithead consist of the Revenge, 78, screw, Capt.Fellowes,flagship of Rear- Admiral R. Smart, K.H., Commander-in-Chief of the Channel squadron ; the Imperieuse, 34, screw, Capt. R. Gibson (acting) ; the Melpomene, 34, screw, Capt. C. J. F.

The particulars of the case have recently appeared. From the appearance of the body it would seem that it was not quite dead when it was buried. There was a handkerchief tied so tightly round the neck that the medical gentlemen who examined the body had no doubt that death arose from strangulation. Several witnesses were examined, and at the conclusion of the evidence the prisoner was committed for trial on the charge of wilful murder. ; in- leril. tita )Re- t dif- risald vast who on of pro ;e of ilities A' the enjoy Rio rious 4eep, Louse. %t in- brief, uch a Ivern- a this PO °
