Dancing then corn• menced generally, and was kept up till a late hour. Her Majesty and the Prince retired at half-past eleven to the supper-room, where they remained a few minutes. On Friday morning her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the suite left Burleigh at half-past nine o'clock, on their return to London. Her Majesty had previously tfken leave of the Marchioness of Exeter and the rest of the family. The Marquis accompanied her Majesty on horseback one gage, and then went on in his carriage to be ready to receive her Majesty at Weedon. As the royal party passed through the park and ronnd that portion of St. Martin's, in Stamford, through which their route lay, they were greeted with loud cheers by crowds of the inhabitants who had assembled to witness the departure. All along the route from Stamford to Kettering the same demonstrations of loyalty and affection were made by the people as on her Majesty's journey down. The triumphal arches had all remained up, and the houses were very gaily decorated with flags, evergreens, &c. The royal party changed horses at the same stages as on their journey down. At Kettering also there was a great demonstration by the people. Here the royal party passed one of the car riages containing her Majesty's dressers, who had pre ceded her from Burleigh, but had been stopped at a short distance from Kettering by their horses (post horses) being so utterly worn out with fatigue as to be unable to proceed a step further. Every horse for miles round having been bespoken, other horses could not be ob tained, and it will be seen that this circumstance was the cause subsequently of a very inconvenient delay to her Majesty at Weedon. At Northampton her Majesty was received by the mayor and corporation and a procession of the town trades, in the same manner as on her journey down. They preceded the royal carriages as they went at a walking pace through the town. At the town and station of Weedon great numbers of people had collected. The military (47th Foot) lined the road, and there was a guard of honour (of the 47th) under the command of Captain Gordon. The Marquis of Exeter, who had arrived previously, and Sir Henry Dryden, the High Sheriff of the county, were at the station to receive her Majesty. At a quarter past two the approach of her Majesty to the station was announced by the elevation of the royal standard, and in a few minutes more the royal party entered the station. Her Majesty and the Prince went to their apartments. A delay was caused here by the non-arrival of the carriage that had been stopped at Kettering. The delay was not only a source of personal inconvenience to the royal travellers, but it also caused an interference with the regular passenger trains. Her Majesty waited till a quar t er t o three o'clock, when she determined to go without the carriage ; but, just at this moment it entered the station, drawn by horses that booked as if they would have dropped had they been required to proceed another mile. The carriage was at once attached to the train, and her Majesty entered her state carriage, accompanied by the Prince. The Prince shook hands with the Marquis of Exeter, and the train started, amidst the cheers of the people, at five minutes to three o'clock. The regular train had not long pre ceded it, so that great precaution was required. The special train, however, came on at a rapid rate, and reached the Camden-town station at ten minutes past five o'clock. From here the train was backed, and turned on the down line, and it reached the Euston terminus at twenty minutes past five o'cicck. Her Majesty immediately left for Padddington, escorted by a party of the 17th Lancers. It was stated that three children had been killed by the falling of a scaffolding at Northampton. The accident was not attended with those fatal consequences. The • children are now quite well. JULLIEN'S CONCERTS at COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. M. Jullien commenced his annual series of concerts at this theatre last evening. It would be quite a misnomer to call the concert of last evening a prome nade concert, for such a perfect crush was it, that anything like promenading was a physical impossi bility; and it was not the area of the pit and stage alone that was crammed —every place in every box was occupied, and, long before the commenceMent - of the performances, the gallery was"filled • from the overflow of the boxes. Never, evert'" on the most crowded Anti. Corn-law League night, have we seen Covent-garden more crammed than it was last evening. We do not wonder at this, for we regret to perceive that these delightful performances are to continue for one month only. Notwithstanding the shortness of the season, M. Jullien has spared no expense in fitting up the theatre. The promenade, which is completely carpeted, is most tastefully decorated with draperies, statues, and flowers, and in the refreshment room at the back of the stage there is a new and ele gant bouffet. Among the solo performers we are happy to recognise Kcenig, Baumann, Case, Deloffre, Richardson, and all the favourites of last season, while the orchestra, which is full and complete in all its parts, is led by Tolbecque and Nadaud. Jullien, in his selection of the programme of last evening, exhibited his accustomed tact. There was something for every body. The dilettanti were delighted by the first move ment in Sphor's magnificent symphony, " The power of sound," which was admirably performed ; while the unlearned, to whom Sphor's symphony was cal were in raptures at the original P o lk a and d'erou y lisli 5.e.'45... both of which were v 0( /J, pleased with the selections from Meyerbeer's chi - Tirceuvre, Robert le Diable, and seemed to vie with each other in giving expression to their feelings of delight. This was followed by Herr licenig's Post-horn Galop, which was, of course, loudly encored. The solo performers of the evening were Mr. Case on the concertina, and Richardson on the flute, both of which were much applauded. Jul lien, as conductor, was of course in all his glory. We are rejoiced to see him once more resuming his baton of conductor on the scene of his former triumphs, and only regret that his stay amongst us is to be short. DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.—This morning, shortly be fore two o'clock, considerable alarm was excited in the neighbourhood of Finsbury-square, in consequence of the sudden outbreak of a destructive fire upon the pre mises occupied by Mr. Lane, horsehair-worker, carrying on business at No. 14, Earl-street. Police-constable 134 G first discovered the fire through seeing smoke issuing out of the roof. An alarm having been instantly raised, the inmates were aroused, and they managed, after great difficulty, to effect their escape in safety. The Brigade, parish, and West of England engines promptly attended, and there being a good supply of water, the firemen set to work most vigorously ; but whilst they were pumping the engines, a messenger arrived with intelligence of another outbreak having occurred in Baldwin-street, City-road. As many of the engines as could be spared were sent thither, when flames were seen breaking through the window shutters of No. 80. Such was the fierce nature of this conflagration, that the residents had barely time to effect their escape. The firemen being aided by the police and a good stream of water, succeeded in the space of an hour in completely extinguishing both fires. A deal of valuable property, which was thrown into the streets, was taken charge of by Mr. Inspector Shackell and his men. Whether or not the sufferers were insure, we could not learn in the excitement that prevailed. SIGHT AND HEARING TESTIMONIALS, 39, ALEX. , MARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY.—Major-General Sir Ho ward Elphinstone begs to say that the Spectacles he has now had some time in use, have fully redeemed the assurance of the Messrs. S. and B. Solomons as to their excellence, and having found so much comfort and ad vantage from their use, far preferable to every other kind of glasses, 13, Norfolk-street, Park-lane.—From the Hon. George Cavendish, to Messrs. S. and B. So lomons, 39, Albemarle. street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel.—Gentlemen, I approve very much of the Spectacles I purchased from you. I have made use of glasses for many years, and never met with any to en able me to see equal to yours and with less inconve nience to my eyes. I am, yours obediently, G.

To prevent mistakes be cautious, and observe—Only to be had at 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel. BEST MEANS OF EMPLOYING AND BENEFITING THE WORKING CLASSES.—The following remarks by Mr. M. Phillips, who has long paid attention to the subject, merit attention :—" This can only be effected by allow ing the labourers to have interest in their native soil, restoring them to the occupancy of a little land, ena bling them by degrees to recover their long lost spirit of independence, to avoid pauperism, that they may again, ere long, become a most useful link in the chain of so ciety, instead of a burden. The inclosure of waste, or in better words, common lands—the monopolising of 1 small farms—the cottage greens, plots of ground, gardens and orchards, which have occurred during the last fifty years, have produced the awful distress now existing among the agricultural labourers—millions of whom have been reduced from a state of plenty and happiness, to misery and want." FUNERAL OF LORD WESTERN.—The mortal re ' mains of the late Lord Western were interred in the vault of his ancestors, in the church of Rivenhall, on Wednesday last. By the will, which is dated the 17th of April last, Lord Western entails all his estates in strict settlement on Mr. Birch Western, of Tattingstone-plaee, Suffolk ; with remainder to his sons and brothers, suc cessively, and their heirs male ; with remainder to Mr. James Western, of London ' and his heirs male.

Metropolitan Anti-Bridge Toll Association, 14, Agnes-place, Southwark. ing of the members of the Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures, was held in the large room of the offices of that body, in this town, at eleven o'clock this morn ing, Mr. T. Bazley, in the chair, for the purpose of takinglinto consideration the propriety of memorialising the Government for the repeal of the duty on cotton wool. About sixty of the most opulent and most influ ential gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood were present, and amongst those who confined themselves to voting for the several resolutions, and consequently did not address the meeting, was Mr. R. Cobden, M.P. The CHAIRMAN, having shortly stated the object of the meeting, in calling which, he observed, the directors had exercised sound discretion, proceeded to congratu late his auditory on the number of all parties exten sively engaged in the cotton trade, who had met there in harmony, to take into consideration a question in which a great national interest was involved—namely, the tax on cotton-wool, which was a most oppressive burden to the country and a bounty to their foreign rivals. If, he said, a new material could be found by which industry could be employed, and those engaged in that employ might be raised from poverty to affluence, the Legislature that would repress such advantage by taxation would be thought highly reprehensible ; and such was the fact with reference to the present impost. He dwelt at some length on the vast importance of the cotton trade, and showed the immense increase derived from it by the revenue, by tracing the amount received by the Customs in the port of Liverpool alone from 100,000/. to 4,000,0001., to which it had now reached, but it had become stationary at that point, consequent upon the excessive duties. He referred to the large amount of skill and capital devoted to the promotion of the cotton trade, from the inventions of Crompton to the present time ; and, in illustration of the formidable rivalry growing up in America, read the following com munication, which he had received from a gentleman on the subject : " The cotton manufacturers of the United States are extending themselves in every direction. The same spirit of enterprise that completed the work at Lowell some twenty years ago, has found its way to the south and the west. In the vicinity of St. Louis there is a manufactory in process of erection • also one in the neighbourhood of Tall a h assee , Fl or ida. In Arkansas one of an extensive scale has been established ; and at Natchez a cotton and wool factory is now in operation. In South Carolina, several manufactories have been for some time in the full tide of successful experiment. The New England manufacturers are unusually active, and will be through the season." With respect to another part of the subject, he cited an opinion to the effect—" That the goods we manufacture are mostly similar in fabrics to those made by the Ame ricans, and intended for shipment to the same markets, such as Brazil, Mexico, South America, and latterly China. They consist of heavy plain domestics, stout grey drillings, also dyed and bleached, grey and blue striped drillings, &c., all of which are made from coarse yarn. The duty upon cotton-wool, such as we use, amounts to eleven per cent. ; and, after being made into goods, to five per cent. upon their value. The English manufacturer is driven out of the market by sheer necessity, to relinquish the field to the Americans." He next said, that previous to the submission of any resolu tion on the subject, he would read the memorial which had been prepared for the occasion ; and he proceeded to the following effect : " TO THE LORDS Oil? HER MAJESTY'S TREASURY. " The members of the Manchester Chamber of Com merce and Manufactures, in special general meeting as sembled, respectfully approach your Lordships upon a subject of vital importance to the trade and commerce carried on in the article of cotton.

" The vast number of artisans and labourers profitably employed in the cotton trade—the extensive sunk and floating capital embarked in it, together with the skill, energy, and enterprise, by which it is conducted, estab lish for it a national interest and importance ; this branch of our industry supplying more than half of all the exported produce and manufactures of the United Kingdom, as shown by the returns made to the House of Commons, 15th February, 1844. That such a raw material as cotton-wool, which is of necessity an exotic, and which has become indispensable to the employment and existence of multitudes of our workpeople, should be subject to the imposition of an import tax, will pro bably hereafter be regarded as one of those delusions in fiscal regulation which have retarded the progress of, and been injurious to, the interests of our country. The tax upon raw cotton has, however, been wisely depre cated by the most distinguished statesmen of modern times, and promises from them of its ultimate extinction are on record. there be a principle of economy which 1 :1 1 '"'` ~.....;.t r aceived, it is that which rp,ognisp ! . materials whereby the labouring classes may earn their subsistence • and in conformity with this h umane an d j us t principle, the duty on sheep's wool was abandoned in th e last session of Parliament, the duty upon flax having been abandoned several years ago. And in all articles of export it has been deemed so unjust to tax the mate rials contributing to their manufacture, that it has been the general practice to grant drawbacks for the return of duties exacted in their production as in the cases of soap, salt, and starch ; and in the glass and other trades the duties levied are always returned on exports : yet in the article of raw cotton, about six-sevenths of the manufactured produce of which are exported, there is no return of the tax. Your Lordships need not be re minded that the treasury of our country will always de rive more benefit from the profitable employment of the people at large, than from fiscal exactions upon the raw materials on which their labour is expended. " Your memorialists, being deeply imbued with the im policy and injustice of the tax upon cotton-wool, proceed to call the attention of your Lordships to the following facts and reasons, which they urge in now seeking the repeal of this obnoxious tax. Though the cotton tax upon even American and other foreign cottons appears small, in being only 5-16ths of Id. per pound, it is in rea lity a heavy impost ; and when compared with the cost of cotton in American ports, it will be found that this tax alone now increases to the British cotton spinner the cost of his raw material to the extent of 10 per cent; for at the present time the price of middling cotton of the class most largely in consumption is 3d. per pound in New Orleans, 5-16ths thereon being exactly 10 percent.; but the American spinner possesses the convenience of contiguity to the markets of the cotton planters ; and in freight by the difference in distance, in the saving of time, and in other diminished charges, a further advan tage is secured to him of not less than 7-16ths per pound, thus making the disadvantages of the British spinner, as contrasted with the American, into 24 per cent., and "which, upon all the American cotton used in Great Bri tain, will amount, according to last year's consumption, to upwards of a million and a half sterling, clearly esta blishing advantages in competition against this country, which neither ought to be, nor ever can be, permanently sustained. " Since the close of the great European war in 1815, the tendency to enter into the pacific pursuits of trade has been evident on the part of every civilised nation ; but the extension of the cotton trade in the United States of America is the most extraordinary, as the spinners of that country are now consumers of cotton to a greater extent than were the British in 1815: there fore this rapid progress has become evidence to which your memorialists refer, that foreign competition may possibly arise to a ruinous extent; and, as history shows that trade driven from a country rarely returns, it plainly behoves those who control the destinies of our land to consider whether the very existence of the cotton trade in it be not alarmingly endangered by retaining an oppres sive tax upon the raw material of so important and be neficial a trade. Foreign competition has, however, already been increased by the free exportation of British machinery ; and so formidable are the indications of in creased competition, with the very same implements which are used in this country, that if there were no other reason for the repeal of the cotton tax, this alone would be sufficient to render it imperatively requisite. " That the cotton tax operates unfavourably in re stricting the employment, and to some extent in diminish ing the wages, of the workpeople, may be assumed from the exorbitant per centage which the duty bears upon the labourers' wages. Upon the coarsest heavy yarns produced the duty of five-sixteenths of id. upon Ame rican cotton amounts to fifty per cent. upon the producing wages ; upon the labour employed in spinning yarns for domestic goods the duty is from thirty to forty-five per cent. upon the wages ; upon the yarns spun for printed calicoes the duty amounts to twenty-five per cent. upon the wages ; and for ordinary muslin upon the yarns spun, the duty becomes only ten per cent. of the wages of labour ; whilst upon the finest lace yarns, which are produced in limited quantities, the fraction of duty upon the wages of labour is almost inappreciable.

As in juxtaposition the tax upon raw cotton, when compared with wages, is most grievous and oppressive in the coarsest yarns spun, so that the consumption and weaving of manufactured cotton goods, this tax presses with the most unjust severity upon our own working classes, and upon the least wealthy members of the community. " Your memorialists, therefore, submit to your Lord ships, that the tax upon: cotton-wool, whether it be viewed on the broad principle of national interest and justice, or as injurious to the well-being of important sections of the community engaged in the cotton trade, it will be found to be an impolitic, unwise, and suicidal tax, and ought to be forthwith repealed; to promote which your memorialists pray your Lordships' powerful aid." The speakers on the occasion, besides the President, were Mr. Ashton, Mr. Houldsworth, Mr. Bright, &c. The latter Hon. Member protested against the imposi tion or retention of any tax whatever, and said it was their business to get the taxes off, leaving to the Minister the duty of making up the revenue ! Mr. Bright had no fears of competition in America; but, of course, wished free trade, whether this was given him by Lord John This or Sir Robert That. Resolutions were agreed to at the meeting denouncing all impositions on trade, and the meeting separated.

WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—The Queen and Prince Albert arrived at the Castle at ten minutes before seven o'clock this evening from Burleigh, escorted by a de tachment of the Royal Horse Guards, under the com mand of Lord George Manners. The Royal party travelled from town via Great Western Railway. Lady Portman, Hon. Miss Liddell, Mr. Anson, Cols. Arbuthnot and Wylde, followed in the royal suite. Her Majesty and his Royal Hi g h ness were rece i ve d in the Grand Hall by the Hon. Miss Paget, Earl of Morton, Captairi Meynell, and Dr. Prwtorius. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of 'Wales and the Princess Royal rode on their ponies this morning. Her Royal Highness the Princess Alice was taken a walk to-day on the Castle Terrace. The Queen and Prince Albert arrived at the ter minus of the Great Western Railway, at Paddington, at ten minutes before six o'clock yesterday evening, in a carriage and four, escorted by a party of Lancers, from the the terminus of the Birmingham Railway in Euston-square. Colonel Arbuthnot, Equerry in Waiting to the Queen, and Colonel Wylde, Equerry in Waiting to Prince Albert, followed in a carriage and four. Lady Portman, the Hon. Georgiana Liddell, the Lord Chamberlain, and Mr. George E. Anson, followed in a third carriage and four. Mr. Charles Russell, Chairman of the Great Western Railway Company, accompanied by Mr. Saunders, the superintendent, received the royal party at the station. Her Majesty and Prince Albert took their de parture directly afterwards, by a special train, for Slough, on their return to Windsor Castle. The Lord Chamberlain took leave of her Majesty and his Royal Highness at the station. The re mainder of the Royal suite proceeded to Windsor Castle. THE QUEEN AT BURLEIGH. On Thursday afternoon } after the royal party and guests had lunched, the Queen paid a visit to the town of Stamford, very much to the surprise as well as the delight of the good people of the place, who had many of them begun to give up the hope of seeing her Majesty during her stay. At two o'clock in the afternoon the Mayor received an official intimation from the Marquis of Exeter, that it was her M a j es ty' s grac i ous i ntent i on to pass through the principal streets of the town soon after three o'clock. In an incredibly short space of time the whole place became a scene of great excitement, crowds of people assembling in the streets, and thronging the windows along the line through which her Majesty was to pass ; the houses became decorated with ever greens and banners, as if by magic, and the whole place presented a very gay and animated appearance. Ar rangements were at once made by the authorities for the prevention of confusion, by the appointment of special constables to keep the line in the streets. The carriages left the mansion at a quarter to three. Her Majesty and the Prince, together with Lord and Lady Exeter, were in the first carriage ; and Sir Robert Peel, Lord Delawarr, Lady Portman, and the Maid of Honour were in the second. In a third were Lady Middleton and Lady Sophia Cecil. The carriages were preceded by two of Lord Exeter's servants in livery, and followed by a considerable number of gentlemen on horseback, many of them tenants of the Marquis, who formed a sort of escort. The reception given to her Majesty in Stamford was most enthusiastic—indeed, it could not have been possible for the people to exhibit more warmly their loyalty and affection. The cheers throughout her pro gress were deafening. Her Majesty appeared in excel lent health and spirits. She frequently laughed heartily at the scamperings of the people. The royal party proceeded down St. Martin's and across the bridge (which, by the way, is so narrow as almost to be a discredit to so large a town), until they came opposite the Town-hall. Here a vast number of people lined the street on either side, and the windows were crowded with ladies. Passing through St. Mary's, the carriages turned off to the left into High-street, and on to the western entrance of the Infirmary. They returned through St. Paul's-street, Ironmonger-street, Broad-street, and Red Lion-square, and back again through St. Martin's. Having reached the boundary of the town, they went on to Wothorpe, a village a short distance from Stamford, where there are some ruins of a seat of the Burleigh family. Here the royal party alighted for some time, and saw the Marquis of Exeter's establishment of young horses, which her Majesty much r admired. On their return to Burleigh, her Majesty and the Prince inspected the Noble Marquis's stock of cattle, . which were brought to the side of the road in the park irr m * uc e h ri andare c t o h n e si r de r r in ed ne to bn tle th 4. a ti c ra mi zi d ttohetu.rleTighhe. Prince They had seen them in the morning. On their return from Stamford her Majesty and the Prince each planted a tree opposite the south side of the mansion. The Queen planted an oak, and the Prince a lime tree. The Queen's tree was planted near to a great lime, which was planted by Queen Elizabeth, on the occasion of her visit to Burleigh. During theinorning the Prince had been oat shooting, accompanied by Sir Robert Peel, Lord Stanley, the Mar quis of Granby, and the Marquis of Salisbury. Mr. An son also accompanied the Prince, but neither he nor the Marquis of Granby were among the sport:mem. The Prince shot 45 pheasants, 56 hares, and 10 rabbits. Al together there were 275 head of game shot. In the evening, before dinner, the Mayor of Stamford, Lieutenant Haycock, R.N., presented the address from the corporation and inhabitants of the town, which her Majesty was pleased to accept most graciously. The Mayor of Northampton, Mr. Barwell, who was among the guests invited to the ball, came over early in the evening with a present for the Prince of a pair of very handsome Wellington boots, as a sample of the staple manufacture of the town. They were left with Mr. An son, his Royal Highness having signified his wish to ac cept them. In the course of the evening Mr. Barwell was presented to her Majesty by the Marquis of Exeter. Her Majesty received Mr. Barwell very graciously; and Prince Albert afterwards entered into conversation with him for a few moments, during which he informed him that her Majesty had received very great pleasure from her reception at Northampton. It was also intimated to Mr. Barwell that her Majesty would proceed through Northampton at a walking pace on her return towards Weedoa. The dinner was ordered half an hour earlier than usual, as there was to be a ball in the evening. Her Majesty entered the dining-room at a quarter to eight o'clock. The following formed the dinner party :—Her Majesty, the Prince, and the royal suite ; the Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter, Sir Robert Peel, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Marquis of Granby, the Earl of Aber deen, Earl Delawarr and Lady Mary West, Lord Burleigh, Viscount and Lady Hood, Lord Milton, Mr. Fitzwilliam, Lord Brooke, Lord Lovaine, Lord Thomas and Lady Sophia Cecil, Lord and Lady Charles Welles ley, Lord and Lady Lilford, Sir James Graham, Captain and Mrs. Spencer, Mr. Pierrepont, Sir George Clerk, Sir William and Lady Middleton, and the Rev. Mr. Atlay. The usual toasts were given during dinner, and her Majesty retired from the dining-hall at ten minutes past nine. The company invited to the ball began to arrive be fore nine o'clock.

At a quarter past ten her Majesty came from her own apartments to the ball-room, when she proceeded to a seat or throne at the end of the room. The Prince sat by the side of the Queen. The chairs were of blue and silver, and were raised upon a dais about eight feet long. The ball was opened by the Marquis of Exeter and EXAMPLES. ro pip4o.

The Bouquet Duke of York is the last new fashionable perfume of the season 1844 ; but though this last, is net the least i nperfection, as it happily combines the preceding excellence of all the royal bouquets, with the delicate and delicious fragrance of the white moss rose.

EDWARD PRICE and CO.; Patentees and Sole Manufacturers of the COMPOSITE CANDLES, respectfully call the attention of the Public to the fact, that, although the price of these is somewhat higher than that of ordinary mould Candles, they are in reality much cheaper than these latter; ono real Composite Candle giving about the same quantity of light as three of the moulds. They require no snuffing, and burn more brilliantly than the best wax. The purposes of economy and luxury are therefore both served at the same time by the use of these Candles. Parties intending to try them for the first time, are earnestly requested to take care that they are served in the shops with " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES:" the reason for this caution is given elsewhere. They are sold by most of the respectable tallow chandlers through out the kingdom, and wholesale to the trade by Edward Price and Co., Behnont, Vauxhall; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell.
