MORNING CHRONICLE, Nov. 20, 1846. • The powers of expansion exhibited by this most useful annual volume appear reap unlimited. Publi s h e d d ur i ng a series of f,,rty eight years, in a Inetropolis whose dwellings increase in number by A yearly average of some fourteen thousand, and velum coltilnerce 'expands in stli larger measure, the "Post-oftlee Directory" has be come enormously enhanced in bulls, as also In the complicated variety of its indispensable contents. The admirable stfccess with which the really enormous difficulties of his task have been overcome by the indefatigable publisher has been proved by the experience of neatly years ; and we need say little more than that the present volume presents the same tokens as its predecessors, of intelilgent trteth,'d and ingenuity of arrangement in packing into reasonable em nil.ss, and producing in lucid order its millions of facts and reference. Within two thousand pages every man may learn ever ything he ou g ht to know about every one of his co-dwellers in thcgreat metropolis, their businesses, as tv@7l as everything neces sary to facilitate him in his ewn.. The very rapid ex ension of our railway system, and the new postal arrangements with some conti nental states, have rendered necess a ry some extensive additions to t he sections a:,propristed to Convey ance an d the Post-office.

It is a wonderful:) , different affair from 11w 'old Directory, which used to consist of little or nothing more than the alphabetical list of tradesmen ; it comprises now, and has for some years, a P a " Street Directory," a " T ra d es ' D i rectory, " a " Court Directory," - ~ ostal Directory," a " Conveyance Directory," with a hest of other little digests. Th e vo l ume appears to have been very !!trefully revised, and supplies the latest information.

The experience of 47 years has obviously enabled the proprietor, Mr. Frederick Kelly, to produce a Directory of unrivalled completeness, wherein every species of fact likely to be Wanted by the merchant and trader is placed• within convenient oaccess.

MORNING ADVERTISER, Nov. 18, 1846. _The " Post-office ;.ondon Directory, 1847," is ju s t d e li vere d . T hough it is app aren tl y l i mited to London, it is in reality a national Work. None of the leading towns can well be without it ; it must be an essential to every counting.house in the kir.gdem, as well as to every place of business fa and about the metropolis. It is an invalu table work of its kind; and the extent and minuteness of its useful de tails are truly wondet ful. Being prepared " under the immediate and S P. clap Patronage of her Majesty's Postmaster-General," the amplest and completest means were, of coarse, at the command of the pro prietor, Mr. Kelly, to secure the entire accuracy to the voluminous and crowded contents of the bulky work. The present is the fight=forty ei annual publication. F ew commercial and trading men can equire particular description of the real] important and useful Information, to almost every party in any sort of business, occupying the two thousand closely but clearly printed octave pages of this Di rectory. Preceded by an admirable and perspicuous Map of London, prepared expressly, it is declared, for the work, by Mr. B. R. Davies, there_are div isions comprising, among other information, " Official, " "Street," " Commercial," "Trades," " Law ' " " Court," " Parlia mentary r." ectories , " Postal," "Cit y , ++ Oonveyanee," "Ilankin..," and many other Di The hope is expressed in the preface that this forty-eighth annual edition of the " P ost - office London Directory" maybe found " in all respects to equal the beet of its pretheessome From very consider able examination of the marvellously full and varied contents and Information on matters which It must be so difficult, labori us, and expensive to collect, we hesitate not to say, that this unassiohing wish Is liberally realised. It not only equals the best of its prede tenors, but in several particulars it surpas-es all its predecessors The Information is not only Miler in many respects, but there are 116`;•eral important alterations and additions, largely adding to the usefulness of the bo-k. It is intimated, and truly, that although all competition has disappeared, the present volume is conspicuous proof that there has been no relaxation in the multifarious labours to per fect the extraordinary work. In speaking of past success, it is observed that it has been, " even in a pecuniary point of view, bene ficial to the public, is proved by the fact that important improve meats and additions are annually made without any increase of Price "—a result that, It is declared, " could not have been the !age, had the public patronage been divided," With reference t irin both Price, we certainly o l Y ncl it must acknowledge that it is w on d er f u l can be profitable to pro varieds - Materials constantly- changing vide and such requiring o at muc h Titattzltncgh ceaseless labour and cost to procure, and then to classify. but a tremendous sale could make the speculation answer.

BRITANNIA, Nov. 21, 1846. The French people have done themselves some credit by their in dustrial expositions. But it must be acknowledged that, though in genious and pretty, they appear quite insignificant compared with the industrial exposition presented to th e m i nd by this mighty volume.

This huge volume, the forty-eighth edition of the work, well sus tains the reputation enjoyed by the "Directory" of late years. In the preface the proprietor maintains that the high character of the work is not referable to its mere connexion with the Post-office ; for an important change has been gradually introduced into the man ner of collecting the information ; and a larger portion of the work than heretofore has been confided to selected agents entirely uncon nected with the Post-office, this being, in great part, the plan of compiling the editions for 1845 and 1646. Nor has the proprietor rested content with his past success, but has introduced many impor tant alterations in this volume for 1847, and added to its bulk with out any increase of price. The ' Postal Directory' is *specially Im proved, and there are numerous changes througl.out the volume, to insure its completeness. The compilation must be a vast labour, to ho accomplished only by systematic subdivision and the moat pains taking minuteness. The appearance of the volume has suggested a very lively effusion, to be seen in another column; and we trust the enterprising proprietor of the "Directory" will find that his labours are duly appreciated and remunerated. To a great commercial country this is an indispensable volume. RAILWAY HERALD, Nov. 21, 1646. The new volume of the Post-Wake Directory for 1847 is already In our bands, and we Can only express our wonder that a work is laborious, extensive, and minute, could be in any degree improved. It would have been a sufficient merit to have maintained its forma' reputation ; it is a great merit to have surpassed itself. The pro duction of a work unequalled for accuracy and for clearness has placod in the hands of the commercial public a most valuable and indispensable aid in carrying en the business of this 'vast metropolis, which would indeed he subjected to the greatest ineonvenlence and expense if it were not for a work of this kind. In a short time our readers will have an opportunity of judging for themselves en pur chasing the new volume, whether our anticipatory notice is in any degree exaggerated. lIRRAPATH'.i RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 91, 1846. _ _ _ The Post-office Directory for 1847 appears with additions and improvements anon its valuable predecessor, but with no enlarge• meat in the price. The continued enterprising spirit with which this important, and It is net a misapplication of terms to say, national work is conducted, merits the highest commendation. We know net whether the same illiberal and unjustifiable attempt will be made in the ensuing session as was done in the last, to wrest it from the hmds of the present proprietary, and to place it by the force of might over right in the possession of Government. But should it be attempted, surely the following statement of its con ductors will go home to the consciences, if they have any, of the parties seeking to draw down the grasping interference of Govern ment. "It can only be necessary to refer to a copy of the work pub lished before the purchase of the copyright by its present proprietor. to be convinced that the mere connexion of the ' Directory' with the Post-office has little, if at all, contributed to its present high cha racter. That the improvements (the result of many years of un wearied toil and application on the part of these engaged in the com pilation of the work) are duly appreciated. Is now happily beyond all question ; prior to the ' Directory' passing to its present proprietor, rival books contended successfully with this. They have di-appeared."

Feb. 18,1847. FIHE COMMITTEE for CONDUCTING the JL ELECTION of the EARL OF POWIS to the Chancellorship of the University of Cambridge beg to submit the following STATE MENT to the Members of the Senate: — When by the lamented death of the late Chancellor it became ne - cessary to consider the appointment of a successor, it was deemed desirable to bring forward such a candidate as might be supposed to be most acceptable to the general body of the Senate, and to repre sent the opinions of the majority of its members. The interest which the Earl of Fowls had uniformly displayed In all that concerns the University, and the acquaintance which by his education and subsequent connexion with it he had maintained with our academic institutions—the independence of his character and positien—the zeal and energy which he has exhibited in forwarding the interests of the Church, and his able and effectual support of her claims, naturally directed the attention of many members of the Uni versity to this nobleman, and steps were immediately taken to obtain his Lordship's consent to be put in nomination for the high office of Chancellor. The Earl of Fowls at once acceded to the request, and the favour able manner in which his Lordship's name has been received assures this ccmmittee that the same considerations which led to the first in vitations to Lord Powis will secure the warm and hearty support of all who feel how important it is to the University that their Chancel lor should possess those qualities for which the Earl of Fowls is se eminently distinguished. The ELECTION will take place In the Senate House, on Timm- DAY, Feb. 25, at Ten o'clock • St. The Committee trust that the non-resident members of the Senate will be prepared to g i ve t h e i r votes f or L o rd Fowls, in case of an opposition.

FUNERAL OF THE LATE DUKE OF NORTRUMBER LARD.—The remains of this lamented nobleman were re moved on Friday last from Alnwick Castle, and will on Tuesday be consigned to the vault of his ancestors in West minster Abbey. The body was conveyed in a hearse drawn by six horses, and attended by the household of his Grace's establishment and a numerous body of tenantry, 300 of whom were on foot and 600 on horseback. The magistrates and clergy of the county of Northumberland preferred a request to be allowed to follow the remains in a body, but the re quest was respectfully declined by his Grace's relatives, it being their wish to have the attendance confined to the im mediate dependants on the family, the townspeople, and the tenantry. The shops in the town of Alnwick were closed, and the bells of the churches and of the Town-hell tolled at intervals. Nearly the whole male population of the town joined the procession. About a mile from Alnwick the procession halted, and the townspeople and members of the household filed off. Three miles fur ther another halt was made, and the tenantry filed off, and thok procession, reduced to the hearse, the private carriage of his Grace, that of the Duchess, and a mourning ccrack with four horses, proceeded onward by Felton and Morpeth to Newcastle, being met at every stage of its progress by the mournful demonstrations of respect of the inhabitants of the various places through which it passed. At Newcastle it was met by the Mayor in his state carriage and the authorities of the town, and by a great number of gentlemen on horseback, upwards of thirty private carriages, and a large body of tenantry. The concourse of spectators was immense, the bells of the churches being tolled and minute guns fired from the Castle. On reaching Tyne bridge the procession was met by the Mayor and corpora• tion of Gateshead, the flags on the ships in the river being hoisted half-mast high. At the railway station the hearse with the coffin in it was at once run on to a truck and se cured in the usual manner. This caused some disappoint ment to those who expected to get a view of the coffin. The arrangements throughout appear to have been very judicious. The manner in which the immense crowd of people who witnessed the possession exhibited their respect for the de ceased is the best testimony to his character and of their regret for his loss. It is understood that there will be no lying in state, but that to-clay the private friends of his Grace will be admitted to Northumberland -house.

FURTHER DISCOVERIES IN MINERALS IN WEST AUsTEALLk.—We have been favoured with communications from Sir James Stirling (the first Governer of the colony), Mr. T. H. C. Walters, and Mr. A. Shenton, announcing dis coveries of minerals by their respective correspondents. Sir James Stirling's letters inform him that traces of a mine of copper or lead, or both have been discovered on his Wood bridge estate, as well as indications of coal ; also, that on Government land, about eighteen or twenty miles from Guild ford, a mine of tin, with a large proportion of silver, has been discovered. This letter is from Mr. Abraham Jones, of Woodbridge, and is dated " 15th September," from Guildford. Mr. Shenton writee (under date " September 13th"), " We are now in a state of great excitement respecting minerals, good specimens of the ores of copper and tin being found ; and great hopes are entertained of the coal mines." Mr. Falters' letters announce the discovery of copper on the grant of Mr. Lukin, at the Toodyay about twelve or four teen miles west of Mr. Davey's grant; and on Mr. Demp ster's, six or seven miles north of it, ore supposed to be of tin or plating.—From the Swan River News fur February. DETERMINED SUICIDE.--yesterday morning, as a man was walking towards the entrance of Victoria-park, he perceived a quantity of blood close to a gravel pit, and on proceeding towards it discovered the body of a man in the pit with his throat cut, and quite dead. He immediately informed the police, who conveyed the body to the Hackney workhouse, where it remains awaiting a coroner's inquest. The deceased was about thirty-eight years of age, and was respectably dressed. He must have first inflicted the wound, and during his struggles have rolled into the pit. At present he has not been identified.

During last week, up to Saturday evening, the arrivals of English Wheat in the port of London, were unusually small; while those of all other articles of home pr o d uce were on a very limited scale. By laud carriage and samples, the re ceipts were trifling; and the same observations may be applied to those from Ireland and Scotland. The import's of foreign Corn, Pulse and Flour were limited. Fresh up to day, a moderate quantity of Wheat of home produce reached us from Essex; but the supply from Kent, Cambridge shire, &c., was small. The market oper.ed by the factors demanding an advance in the quota tions paid on Monday last—arising from the limited number of samples brought forward, of from 4s to 5s per quarter. At that improvement no sales were effected ; and the trade became excessively heavy—so dull, indeed, that up to twelve o'clock scarcely a single parcel had changed hands. Under these circumstances, we have to report unusual dul ness in the trade, and, in some instances, a decline of quite Is per quarter in the rates paid on this day s'ennight. At the conclusion of business, a clearance had not been effected. The show of Foreign was again small, yet, owing to the millers evincing an uneasiness to purchase at present prices, the trade was in a sluggish state, at barely last week's quotations.. Notwithstanding the quantity of Barley was limited, the trade with that article was exceedingly dull, at an abatement in value of from is to 2s per quarter. Superfine White Malt moved of slowly, at full prices; but all other kinds might have been purchased on somewhat easier terms. With Oats we were again scantily supplied. Still, however, the Oat trade was slow, and prices were with difficulty sup ported. The sale of Beans was heavy, and when transac tions were forced is to 2s per quarter less money was taken. In Peas next to nothing was doing, at a reduction of Is per quarter. The Flour trade was very dnll, both for sack and barrelled parcels, at barely late rates. Indian Corn w.:ls dull.

We had on offer to-day only 70 Beasts and 90 Sheep from abroad. The quality being tolerably good, nearly the whole was disposed of at full prices. The number of home-led Beasts on sale was seasonably extensive, and of full average condition, yet the actual weight of beef was not equal to that exhibited on Monday last. The dead markets being heavily supplied with country-killed Meat, and the weather by no means favourable to slaughtering, the beef trade was in a very sluggish state, at, in most instances, a decline on last week's quotations of 2d per 81bs., the highest figures for the best Scots not exceeding 4s 2d per Blbs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,400 Scots, home-breds and short-horns ; from the northern districts, 600 short. horns ' • from the western and midland Counties, 510 Herefords, Bunts, Devons, &c. ; from other parts of England, 400 of various kinds; and, from Scotland, 90 horned and polled Scots. The numbers of Sheep were again very small, owing to which, the salesmen demanded advanced rates for that description of stock. In some instances, a trifle more money was paid for the primest Old Downs; but, as this advance was by no means general, we can make no alteration in our last weeks rates. The trade, however, must be considered firm ; and a good clearance was effected. There were about 300 shorn sheep offering. With Calves, we were scantily supplied, yet the Veal trade was heavy, at the late decline in value. Pi g s were in moderate supply, and sluggish inquiry, at una l tere d rates.

These large supplies, together with the change in the weather, have caused the general demand to be exceedingly heavy; and the quotations have declined 2d. per 81bs. with out effecting clearances. The supply of Meat killed in the metropolis has been but moderate. About one hundred carcases of Foreign Beef and Mutton have appeared on sale. .at per stone by the Carcase. s. d. to s. d. s.

EOROVUE AND SPITALFIELDS. About 120 tons of Potatoes have arrived in the Pool from abroad since Monday last. Coastwise the receipts have been trifling, but by railway they have somewhat increased. From the want of supply, and the present high prices, the trade is very dull, as follows :—York Regents, 180 s to 220 s ; York Reds, 200 s to 220 ; Lincoln and Cambridgeshire Re gents, 150 s to 190 s; ditto Kidneys, 140 s to 160 s; French Whites, 1603 to 1805 per ton.

Poitzsatourir, Fan. 19.—The Emerald tender returned from Yarmouth last night, and this morning the Echo and Monkey towed up the two mooring lumps, and the flat boats which have been employed. Mr. Bellamy, Assistant Master Attendant, and all the men who were employed afloat, have also returned. As we stated yesterday, there will be no fur ther attempts made to get the Sphynx off until settled fine weather sets in, and it seems the general impression that that will not be before the latter end of April or beginning of May. In the meantime everything will be taken out of her that can be removed, Theme has been no possibility of communicating from seaward with the Sphynx since Satur day, the vessels having been obliged to take shelter in Yar mouth Roads. The vessels have been left behind. The Birkenhead steam-transport, Commander Ingram, has had her compasses adjusted to-day by Captain Johnson, for local attraction. She is to be ready for embarking troops to morrow. The African steam-tug, Mr. Barker, master, has hal h er mast taken out to-day, the head of which was carried away in coming here from Sheerness. The dockyard artizar.s are at work on her, and as she must have a new mast, it is not likely she will be ready to take the supernumeraries for the Rosamond steam-sloop for Plymouth before Monday. SUNDAY, FEB. 21.—The officers and crew of the Sphynx were paid'off at the Navy Pay-office in the dockyard yes terday, 'The Emerald tender, Second Master-Commanding H. Beach, sailed yesterday for Plymouth, with supernumeraries. The Dolphin, 3, brigantine, Commander R. J. T. Miller, arrived last night at St. Helen's, and came to Spithead this morning, from South America. We give her news, which is very late, in another place. Letters have been received here from the Salamander steam-sloop, Captain Hamond, dated English Harbour, An tigua, the 29th ult., from which it appears that she left Bahia on the Ist of January, but that on the 17th, iu a squall, she carried away her bowsprit and sprung her main-mast, which induced her commander to make for Antigua, where he arrived on the 28th. As the vessel required caulking and refitting, they were not in expectation of reaching England before April. The Birkenhead steam transport, Commander A. Ingram, has been so much retarded in her refitment by the late bad weather, that she will not be ready for receiving troops be fore Wednesday next. The baggage will, it is expected ar rive on Tuesday. • The Admiralty have issued an order prohibiting dailyth entry is of any more boys for the navy. The Vict or y vic tualling about 1,160 stomachs.

The Irish party assembled on Friday at their new cham bers, King-street, St. James's, for the special purpose of con sidering the provisions of the important Bill recently intro duced into the House of Commons by Lord J. Russell, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Labouchere, to facili tate the improvement of landed property in Ireland by the owners, and to afford employment to the labouring classes. The Marquis of Westmeath presided. Among the Irish noblemen and members of the Lower House present were the Earl of I%lountcashel, Lord Monteagle, the Marquis of Sligo. Lord Bernard, Mr. W. Smith O'Brien, Mr. F. Shaw, Mr. Bernal Osborne, Mr. Fitzstephen French, Mr. G. A. Hamil ton, Mr. Ormsby Gore, Mr. R. A. Fitzgerald, Mr. Lefroy, Mr. Gregory, Mr. H. Grattan, Mr. T. B. Martin, Mr. Grogan, Mr. J. R. Godley. The Noble CISAIRMAN proceeded to read the clauses of the Bill seriatim. After a vast deal of coeference and consultation it was agreed that several suggested amendments should be brought under the consideration of the Legislature. The limitation of the advances out of the growing produce of the Consoli dated Fund, for the purposes of the Act, to 1,500,000/., was regarded as injudicious, and the ueneral impression appeared to be that the Treasuiy Commissioners should receive per mission to issue, as from time to time might be required,sums of money not exceeding in the whole the sum of 2,000,000/. Mr. F. Fuericit suggested that the third clause, which vested all powers appertaining to the execution of the Act in the Commissioners of Public Works, should be amended by the substitution of local commissioners, paid or unpaid. Viscount BICItIVARD and Mr. LIAMILTON considered that, in addition to the works of drainage, subsoiling, trenching, irrigation, or warping of land, reclamation, erecting and making corn mills, clearing lands of rocks and stones, erect ing substantial farmhouses and buildings, embanking lands front the sea, specified in the 4th clause as those on which the proposed loans were to be expended, the construction of bridges and embankment of tidal piers would be found mani festly advantageous. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN,/ recommended an amendment of the 12th clause, which authorised the Commissioners of Public Works to require by deposit, land or otherwise, security for payment of the expenses incurred in reporting upon and in vestigating the subject of an application for loan. Instead of leaving the Commissioners at liberty to charge such costs as they pleased, he thought it would be well to have the liability for expenses limited to a per tentage on the amount applied for. Mr. O'Brien also suggested that the Commis sioners should give notice of such application, nut only in the Dublin Gazette and the newspapers circulating in the county in which the lands are situate, as the 18th clause prescribed, but in the Dublin newspapers also, and in such other manner as will secure proper notice to the immediate lessor or Iris known agent. With regard to the 22d clause, rendering lands chargeable with loans granted from the date of the Commissioners' order, Mr. O'Brien further suggested that each portion of the land improved with the loan should be only liable for the amount expended on itself. Lora MOUNTCASHELL intimated that, in his opinion, the 22d clause—providing that errors and omissions in memo rials, schedules, or hotices proceeding under the Act, were not to prevent the Commissioners doing all matters in their judgment requisite for carrying the provisions into effect, or to inval6 ate any rent charge chargeable under the A ct—shoaid be reconsidered when the Bill went into Committee. It was generally considered by the meeting that the loans should be issued by instalments, not exceeding at any time one-tenth of the entire sum; instead of one-fifth, and that no instalment should exceed in any case 500!., instead of 300/. In the event of an.owner desiring to clear off his rent charge for loan more speedily than at the rate of 6!. 10s. per cent. for 22 years, the 40th section enacted that he could do so with the san, tion of the Treasury Commissioners; but the Irish party thought that in such case notice should be given to the reversioner, and his consent obtailied. • Mr. Oa MSBY GORE suggested that there should be clause introduced into the Bill, extending its benefits and advan tages to incorporated societies, such as the Waste Land Im provement Society of Ireland. Many members agreed with Mr. Gore, and it was deter mined to bring the subject under the consideration of Go vernment. Some routine business was then transacted, and thanks having been voted to the Marquis of Westmeath the meeting separated. "The Irish party" met again on Saturday; the Earl of Massarene in the chair. The following members were pre sent :—Mr. W. S. O'Brien, Mr. P. S. Butler, Mr. H. Grattan, Colonel Acton, Mr. G. A. Hamilton, Mr. T. Martin, and Mr. Grogan. Some clauses of the proposed Poor Relief (Ireland) Dill were again discussed. Mr. SMITH O'Bruix announced that it was his intention to move several amendments to the Bill in Committee. In the formation of electoral districts pauperism had been sa allocated, in respect of the property liable for its relief, as to cause the pressure of poor -rate taxation to be very unequal. He should, therefore, propose that the Poor-law Commis sioners should revise and reconsider the electoral divisions of the several unions in such a manner as that the pau perism of each district should bear to the property liable for its relief as nearly an unif orm proport i on throughout each union as c ircumstances would all ow ; th at f or each elec toral division there should b e f ormed a relief committee, consisting of the justices of the peace, residing or pos sessing rateable property within such electoral divi sions, of the Roman Catholic, Episcopalian, Protestant, and Presbyt er i an c l ergymen, usually officiating in such divi sions, and of a proportionate number of wardens to be elected simultaneously with the guardians ; that the relief committees thus constituted were to consider and determine who stood in need of relief in each electoral division, and to certify their opinions with respect to the claims of each person applying for relief to the board of guar di ans , s t a ti ng at t h e same time their opinion whether the person so applying ought to be re lieved in the workhouse or out of it; that the Poor-law Com missioners shall revise and reconstruct the unions, so that the extent of each shall not be more than 150,000 acres; that the repayment of the loans borrowed for the construction of the workhouses shall be defrayed by a rate levied accord ing to the net valuation, as an uniform poundage upon all rateable property in Ireland; that the Poor-law Commis sioners shall make an uniterm valuation of rateable property throughout Ireland, in s o f ar as th e same may b e possible under the existing valuation Acts ; and lastly, that persons receiving fixed incomes from rateable property, by way of jointure, rent charge, o r a ny o th er annu i t y, no t being created in satisfaction for debt, shall be liable to all rates levied for the re l ief of the poor, just as if the income so received were receivable as rent. r Several letters were read giving an appalling account of the daily increasing state of destitution in Ireland. It was unanimously resolved, that the fearful details of misery and suffering contained in those communications should be stated in the House of Commons, and the necessity of immediately providing food and seed for the Irish people again pressed upon Government. THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, FEB. 20. —'g Oriental Company's steam-ship Oriental, Captain Brookes, left the docks at 3 P.M. this day with the East India and China mails for Alexandria, a full cargo of bale and other goods, and GO passengers. Captain Brookes was formerly the commander of the Tagus, and prior to his removal to the Oriental had the Erin. He is the oldest officer in the ser vice.

The horse, alarmed at the lances of the troop of Lancers, who formed her Majesty's escort, became unma nageable, end backed against the carriage in which the Queen was riding, nearly unhorsing its rider. It had no sootier cleared her Majesty's carriage, than it dashed with great force against the carriage and horses which followed, containing the two equerries to her Majesty and the Prince Consort. The violence of the concussion knocked down the horse; its rider being thrown to a considerable distance into the mud un the side cf the road. Her Majesty, seeing the alarming situation of the gentleman, immediately ordered the carriage to stop, and commanded the Equerry in Waiting, the lion. Colonel Grey, to ascertain the state of the gentle. man who had met with the accident. Her Majesty, after a delay of some minutes, having been informed that the gentle man, although covered with mud, was not seriously hurt, then proceeded onwards to Claremont. Both the Queen and the Prince Consort manifested great regret that an accident, under such circumstances e should have occurred.
