The Marquis of NoamANav said that Mr. Pare com plained of having been very much misrepresented, but that he bad resigned; his lordship having expressed au opinion that Mr. Pare was not a proper, person to hold office. His lordship added that he was pursuing inquiries regarding so cialism, in consequence of the documents forwarded by the Bishop of Exeter. the results of which would, in due course, be communicated to their lordships. Lord REDESDALE, having p • resented ,petitions for Paro chial buildings to be relieved froni rates, inquired whether the, government intended to propose apy measure on the subject. The Marquis of NORMANBY answered, that the subject would receive, what it well deserved, the >e: ions considera tion of the g overninent. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. — TUESDAY.

Lord PALMERSTON, in.answer to Mr. Alderman Thomp son's inquiry, stated that he certainly could not declare what were the intentions of the Pacha of Egypt, but that he had made considerable alterations in the arrangements of his sea anri land forces. • His lordship, in answer to otherinquiry, .. - nnt tile papers regardingMiuurca were really, and would presented. ri iNcEsTarE having asked when the .

Gch church-rate; and moved that leave he given to bring in a • bib " to relieve from, payment, of cliarcitrates-thatportion of her Majesty's subjects-who cOn scicritiously dissent from the rites and doctrines of the Eng lish church. . Lord J. RUSSELL said that. he felt bound to .oppose the motion contending that to make partial exception for such as sought not to pay church-rates, on the ground of having " conscientious scruples," would be to lay a snare, Or offer a bribe, for evasion of payment. Ile. added, that desiring to put an end to unseemly dissentious and heart-burnings, he was prepared to agree to two remedies for existing com plaints:—first, to remove church-rate cases from the juris diction of the ecclesiastical to that of the civil Courts ; an& second, to provide that .attachment Shall .only be against the property, not against the person. Mr. Humc, Mi. BAIN E 5, &c., denounced these as "pal try," " pettifogging'," " half-and•half" measures. The house eventually divided ; and Mr. T. Duncombe's motion was negatived by 62 ayes and 117 noes—majority against the motion, 55. Mr. WALLACE moved the appointment, of a select com mittee to inquire into the administration of the law in the Supreme Court of Scotland, With a view to ascertain whether tht number of judges may not be diminished. LORD ADVOCATE contended that the time occupied in court was no criterion of the labours the judges had to un r,ht Of Court. . . • ied by 128 to 111—majority of 17 in its favour.

ROYal highness Prince Albert,. - of .Sage Coburg and Gotha, „, o ; . p er formed in the Chapel RoyASt.James s Palace. An e . nt, so novel as this i. more than ascent' having elaps e d "g c gire"WujitiaU"bilt.• n reigning • Queen of thin country were. celebrated, would be sufficient, independent .of the magnifi cent.and splendour attendant thereon, and the youth o f our beloved overeign, to engagr the universal attention and in terest of the 'nation: It is - neit', - theril'tii be vionekTed 'that these combined circumstances should make the people of this country who are,, despite . what a disaffected few may say or think, naturally and intrinsically a loyal people stipend their ordinary avocations and cea s e th e i r labouring ;oil, to join in keeping holiday, and publicly to demonstrate their attach ment: to the Throne, and their earnest wishes for the wel fare and happiness of their-young and lovely Queen. No im perial mandate was necessary to compel a cold observance of respect. The homage was neither forced nor feigned, but the voluntary offering of warm hearts, participating in the joy of the Royal bride, beating with hopes for brighter days, and breathing prayers for a prolonged reign of purity and peace. _ _ At early dawn " the busy hum of men" arose from the vast metropolis and its populous suburbs. The canons' roar saluted the opening day, and " The morning trumpets' festival proclaimed Through each high street," and as the hastetiing.crowds moved towards the chief point of attraction, the lin- of road through which the Royal pro cession was to pass, they beheld, on each side of the way, the houses adorned with various ornamental devices, con sisting- of cray flags, gorgeous banners, and costly prepara tions for the night's illuminations. The neighbourhood of the palaces was speedily occupied by cheerful groups, ever and anon gathering additions, till the whole intended route was lined with vast multitudes. Constitution-hill, and those points of the Parks which commanded even the remotest view of the scene, " Where the throng, , On banks and scaffolds, under sky might stand," were supplied with various ingeniously contrived accommo dations, for the privilege of which no mean price was de manded, and no lack of purchasers was found. The distant windows-teemed with heads, as did those also of the .man sions and : dwellings of the clostr thoroughfares through which the cortege was to pass. Even the roofs were tenanted by eager spectators, who froin the giddy height locked down, seemingly unmindful of theirperilons position. Besides all this, every niche and practicable spilt, was made the resting place of platforms and galleries, gaily festooned and , de corated, " With seats where all the lords, and each degree Of sort might sit, in order to behold," for it as not possible to accommodate all the rank and elite of fashion within the Royal Chapel. The sex-most honoured on this day mingled in the masses, and may be said to have formed nearly, if not quite, the majority of the spectators on thi festive occasion. A profusion of - white favours was dis played, and the handy*ork -of the sempstress was exhibited 'in a thousand varied; forms on the .graceful and beauteous wearers. If beauty needed ornament, the of fashion -supplied it plentifully. . " Beauty is Natnre's brag, and must be shown At courts,' - at feasts, and - high solemnities, , Where most may-: wonder at the workmanship. And many a beauteous dame and worthy knight Caine there the nuptials to celebrate - ." At lehgth the lbw , protracted; but patient, expectation of the assembled myriads was worked up to the highest point of desire, by the premonitory sounds of the Queen's depai ture from Buckingham Palace. The noise of many drums, the brazen throats of signal guns, and the clang of martial trumpets, had scarcely ceased their loud announcement, when the state carriage in which her Majesty rode issued from the marble portal. • "At sight of her the people, with a shout, The troops presented arms asthe Queen passed ; the bands struck up with renewed vigour the National Anthem ; and the Royal cortege moved forwards, her Majesty bowing in • return to the greetings of her subjects. • " Fair Honour, drest in robes, adorn her state, And in her train the crowding people wait, Who, pressing, view with what a temper'd grace. The looks of Majesty compose her face. And mingling sweetness shines; or how her dress. •And how her pomp an inward joy confess. Then till'd with pleasures, to her glory due, With shouts—the chariot moving on—pursue." But it was physically impossible to keep up the pursuit ; the " thick phalanx of embodied men," which already filled the upper space rendered the progression of the 'Multitude in the rear impracticable. The mass was, therefore, com-• pelled to remain stationary ; but not so their enthusiarn. The shouts of those whom the procession had passed 'fol lowed it, and united with the bnrsts of loyal cheering from those a head. Thus ajeu de joie of huzzas was kept up•as far as the ear could drink in the cheerful sounds. Such was the joyous manner in which the bridal Queen of these realms was hailed in her progress to the holy temple where that solemn rite was performed, which has united her to the man of her choice, a circumstance somewhat unusual to' persons in her Msjestiy's station. Her entrance to the Royal Chapel suspended the joyous acclamations of the mul titude, and the silence which ensued was calculated to awaken I other and higher emotions than those which are devolved in the gesticulations and huzzas of mere animal excitement. The interval between her Majesty's ingress to St. James's Palace and her return was one of tranquillity, the crowd in the immediate vicinity of the building, when the holy rite was proceeding seemed desirous of paying an external respect to the solemnity, or of catching some faint sound indicative of the progress of the ceremony within. - " They seemed to hear the full devotional quire • • , TObeaven's high dome their awftil anthem raise,. • .• :Now chanting clear and now they all conspire To swell the lofty hymn from praise." .And what truly British heart is there unwilling to join in these ..luipirations that this union may be auspicious of the ~goodor,ther coantry, and that under the reign of our most graelqno'Auceu, • ~ Y-,Horrid with want and misery, no more cz i f k, Our streets the tender passenger afflict, a m 5,:, Nor shiv'rini.age, nor sickness Without friend, Or honde, or bed, to bear his living load; • fi')Niu,Nonisii - ig infant that.ne'er earned Its guiltless.pangs!” Add moreover that " peace and happiness, truth and jus tice, religion and piety, may be established among us for all generations!" BUCEINOHAM PALACE, In descending now into the details of the proceedings of the day, let us state that the weather in the early part of the morning was rather unpropitious; the few glimpses of sun shine being far between, and the rain frequent and heavy. Nevertheless the loyalty of the 'crowd was not -damped, but in spite.of the showers they maintained their positions until the cortege. appeared, when to add to their gratification the clouds dispersed and the sun shone forth with renewed splen dour. . About half-past ten, a small detachment of the Life Guards arrived, .and - entered the court-yard of the Palace, and shortly afterwards a stronger detachment of the 'same regiment and the Oxford Blues took up their stations aLong the lineswhich had been previously formedby variouadiiisions of the police force, of whose conduct in general weare able to bear a grate ful testimony to the,temperate and effective manner in which they kept order.. But a corps of the A division near Buck ingham Palace Were - muCh . too forward in using their staves, and some persoA received blows on their heads, which made them bleed profusely. The offence which they committed, as far as we could judge, was, that of not being able to force themselves back the moment they were spoken to by the policemen, who were thus unnecessarily violent. We have also to complain too, of the rudeness and want of disposition to afford the slightest service to the gentlemen of the press, although they were kindly furnished with the following from the commissioners "To the Police. • " Pass the bearer on foot along the line. • (Signed) I Some of the constables of the C divisiOn, on being shown this card, refused : to pay any. attention to it. The reply of one of whom was, ." We . are not to be deceived by such things as, them." This was, however, not the case generally, and by the inspectors and superintendents we were treated with civility. It appears, therefore, that the man who acted otherwise was ignorant of the - nature of the authority of the pass.. A. more good humoured and orderly multitude was never assembled on any Public occasion, and therefore that they should be " bludgeoned" in the manner described, was uncalled for. Many Were the harmless jokes, and feeble attempts at wit ticisnis which were resorted to by the crowd to beguile the time. Portraits of the Queen and the Prince, and medal& ons commemorative of the event were sold in great quantities ' by numerous vendors; and, in truth, we must say, that though the price was low, they were admirably executed. • Soon after ten o'clock the Lord Chancellor drove by, and was followed by the . Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex, at intervals. Good places now became scarce, and many "an artful move" was made to secure one. The best of all was that praCtised by a young spark, who gave a chim -1,1,J-sweeper sixpence to - go before, and thus soon attained his wished-for object, for every one made way for chummy. 1 1 '4 1, trees in the Green Park, although saturated with rain, o f .

The spirits occasionally cheered by the music of the military baainulds,u-lo.e-hno the several invigorating marches, and now old-fashioned but merry tune of arch. They conveyed the first procession of carriages issued front the- Palace_ - and Goths, the father of Prince reign courtyard, ep t r l tu ir k o ac u ls g oo h the triumphal of Saxe Coburg, his brother; and , his Highnesst; t l l i r g e y Prince Saxe himself, escorted by a guard of honour.

Trees were ascended, lamp-posts were mounted, and insecure footings were attained on the top of the iron railings by which the' park is enfiladed. The roofs of Stafford House, the Gate House, the Palace itself, and Marlborough House, were crowded even to _the chimney tops, and as the rain had now subsided, the scene became altogether most heart-stirring. Presently asquadron of the Life GuardS, with their splendid band, took their sta. tion in the. Court-yard next Marlborough House, and in front of the great gates at the foot of St. James's-street.•, At half-past 11 their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George and Princess Augusta of Cam- • bridge, arrived in state, escorted by a party of Life . GuardS ; their royal highnesses were lividly cheered in their progress through the Park, and were received_ by the guard in the garden with the usual honours. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex followed a few moments afterwards, also escorted by a party of Life Guards, and his reception by the populace was most enthusiastic and cheering. The cortege escorting the illustrious bridegroom was hailed with enthusi astic cheers, and that of our youthful Queen elicited loud and long-continued applause. Precisely at half-past one, the discharge of a royal salute, of twenty-one guns, by the ordnance on the parade in front of the Horse Guards, announced to the citizens of the great metropolis that the " plain gold ring" had been placed upon the finger of her most gracious Majesty, and again the crowd began to prepare for the return of the illustrious pair. At half-past one, how ever, a heavy fall of rain disturbed the holiday-folks, many of whom ran off to all the points of egress from the Park. The majority, however, held their positions, and gave the newly-married pair a welcome that made the " welkin ring," as they returned to Buckingham Palace, at 20 minutes to two o'clock. The procession to Buckingham Palace was re-form ed pretty much in the same order, in which it moved in the morning. Prince Albert took hiS place in the same carriage with .her Majesty, the. Duchess of .Sutherland taking her place with the Earl of Albemarle, who, on this occasion alone, waived his official right to be in the same carriage with. her Majesty. Her Majesty occupied the back seat alone, and Prince Albert and the Duchess cf Kent sat opposite. On arriving at Buckingham Palace, the illustrious party Par took of a WEDDING BREAKFAST, at which several of the illustrious participators in the previ ous ceremony, and the officers of the household and ministers of state were present. THE CHAPEL ROYAL. At nine o'clock the doors of the Chapel Royal were thrown open, when the nobility and gentry, who had obtained the bord Chamberlain's tickets of admission, began- to arrive. The arrangements were most admirable, and the decorations of the -Chapel were distinguished for simple chastity com bined with elegance; .there was no attempt at ostentatious display, while a pleasing harmony characterised the whole. The altar and hant-pus, which presented the most interest ing portion of the • day's proceedings, although very limited in extent, had a very 'splendid appearance. The whole was lined with crimson velvet, that portion over the communion table being hung with rich festoons of crimson velvet edged with gold lace. Tne gothic pillars supporting the galleries above Were gilt, as were the mouldings of the oaken panels where exposed ; the Gothic railing round the communion table was also gilt. The communion table itself was covered with a rich profasion of gold plate, and on each side was a stool for- the 'Archbishop of Canterbury' and the Bishop of. London.= On the left hand side of the altar, and on the haut-pas, as you advanced up the aisle under the gallery, were four stools,:with footstools to thatch, for the reception of their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Sussex and the Duke. of Cambridge, the Princess Augusta and the Duchess' of Gloucester; while on the opposite side were six stools of a like description for the use of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, the two Princesses of Cambridge, Prince George of Cambridge, Prince Ernest, the brother, and the reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, the parent of Prince Albert. On the left side of the altar, and in front of the four stools we have described, were two state chairs—that next the railing of the altar for her Majesty, and that nearer to the aisle for her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. On the opposite side were also two state chairs—that next the railing for -Prince Albert, and that nearer the aisle for the Dowager Queen Adelaide ; each of these chairs was provided with footstools ; while those to the railing of the altar were two fald stools for her Majesty and the Prince, used during the ceremony. The whole floor was covered with a blue and gold pattern:carpet, with the Norman rose. The remaining part of the interior,. including the pews in the aisle,'.the•seats in the galleries, .and ambassadors' closet, had the appearance of simple oak with Gothic panels, 'scrolls, and mouldings, the seats being covered with crimson cushions, with gehl-Colotired edges,,and broad - gold:coloured - fringe - The ceiling, iihieh had been ref,Tlie4,and_was,adorned with the arms of Great - I Britain in, various-coloured devices and compartments, had a very tastefulappear - Once, and the light admitted from' the, , Gothic window Otter tticaltar,Andfroui the windows on each side The gav c e ol a on l' ndethr teas a ingill o e ug li ri which w the htdih p 4' rt h e o s l s e ion passed to the chaPei :11-2i.

Shortly after ten o'clock the peers and peeresses arrived in rapid succession : it would be impossible to give their names. Suffice it to say that, all the principal nobility of the land were present. The musical choir consisted of ten boys and 16 men, and was under the superintendence of Sir George Smart, who presided at the organ. The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London took their station at the altar at half-past eleven o'clock. The Queen Dowager arrived a few minutes before twelve o'clock, and took her seat near the communion table. All present rose on her Majesty's entering the chapel, and re mained standing until her Majesty desired them to be seated. Her Majesty appeared in excellent health and spirits. ~y~~ ARRIVAL OF PRINCE ALBERT. Prince Albert's procession was formed in . the Throne room, and at half-past 12 o'clock the sound of trumpets and drums announced that hiS Royal Highness was approaching the-chapel. The scene at this moment Was of the most ani mated'description. All present rose, and in a few minutes the Prince, attired in the uniform of a British Field Marshal, and-wearing-the insignia of the Order of the Garter, entered the chapel. 1 - iis Royal Highness was supported by his Se rene Highness the reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg and the Hereditary Prince his brother. He looked rather pale, but appeared very cheerful. His Royal Highness was conducted by the Lord Chamberlain and Vice Chamberlain to the altar, and was then seated in a chair - next to the Queen Dowager. Her Majesty and the Prince entered into a close conversa tion previous to the arrival of the Queen. On his Royal Highness entering the chapel, a voluntary was performed by Sir George Smart on the organ: The procession then re turned to conduct her Majesty to the chapel. ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY. A few minutes before one a flourish of trumpets and drums announced her Majesty's approach. It is impossible to con vey any adequate idea of the magnificent spectacle which now presented itself. All rose, and the most perfect silence ceigmed throughout the sact'ed' edifice. As her Majesty entered the Chapel a band of music, placed ,outside, played the national anthem of " God save the Queen." Her Majesty preceded by the Lord Chancellor and Lord. Melbourne carrying the Sword of State, and accompanied by Her Royal Highness the. Duchess of Kent Her'Royal High ness the Princess Augusta, Her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia, -their Royal -Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, Prince George of Cambridge, and the other branches of the Royal Family, entered the chapel shortly before one o'clock, and immediately proceeded to the. altar; Her Majesty's train was borne by 12 maids of Honour. Her Majesty did not wear a veil: , Her hair was dressed: quite plain, and the • only ornament on the head was a tiara of brilliant diamonds. The train was several yards: long, and composed of the most costly materials. Her Ma jesty was deeply affected on entering the chapel and shed tears. The intense interest which had been manifested during the whole morning at this moment was at its height, and the most breathlike silence prevailed as the Queen pro ceeded up the Chapel. On her Majesty reaching the altar she shook hands with the Queen Dowager and the other members of the Royal Family ; immediately after which Prince Albert conducted her Majesty to the part of the Communion• Table where the marriage Service was read by the Archbishop of Canterbury, assisted by the Bishop of London, in a clear and distinct tone of voice..

Her Majesty in a firm voice responded, " I will." The other parts of the ceremony were strictly in unison with the forms of the Church of England. The Queen repeated the words " love, honour and obey," in a very audible manner. i • Du r i n g the service the anthem of at the " Blessedie conclusion th e an them of " God be merciful to us and bless us." be th ou L or d God of Israel" was performed, an h le time the ceremony was being read, the Royal Family and w all present remained standi ng .

DEPARTURE FOR WINDSOR. At the conclusion of the breakfaSt her Majesty retired to prepare for her departure for Windsor, whither she was .accompanied by Prince Albert and a very limited . suite, including only, we believe, the Lord and Lady in Waiting, Groom of the Chamber, Equerry, two Maids of Honour,. and.two or three other attendants on the royal person. • The .domestic servants had. previously set out for the Castle, to ha in readiness to reeeiye her Majesty and her Consort, who in all court proceedings. will simply be styled " Albert."

While the service was proceeding, her Majesty was ob served to look frequently at Prince Albert, who was standing at her side ; in fact;- she scarcely ever took her 'eyes off him till she left the chapel.—Globe. (From the Morning Papers of Tuesday.) THE QUEEN'S PROGRESS TO WINDSOR. KENSINGTON .—The birthplace of her Majesty was, yester day, one scene of bustle and animation. At daybreak the morninr, was ushered in by a merry peal from the bells of the Old Church, on the steeple of which a large Union Jack, decorated with white favours, was hoisted. The decoration, with laurels, Myrtle, and other evergreens, of the splendid triumphal arch, which was, on Saturday, erected at the en trance of the town, was also proceeded with,. and by ten o'clock it presented a most beautiful and splendid appear auce.. On the summit was placed, a large Imperial Crown, supported by the royal arms_in burnished brass, having un derneath a large white rosette, circled by a wreath of roses. On either side were the initial letters 'of her Majesty and her illustrious coniorf, :each, supported by a large rosette, and around the arch were suspended festoons of laurel, &e. de enrate&With white favolirs - M u each end were flags, on which were inscribed " B r itons' rejOice," and " G o d bl ess th em ." Other flags were also exhibitHi Flags were• displayed from nearly evety hbuse : some testimony of loyalty was exhibited froM all. About 11 o'clotk - a - littelintriber of persons, most of them .• wearing white faVours. - and' rosettes, assembled in front of Kensington Palace, for tile - purpot4e of witnessing the de parture of his Royal Highties'S' flit Duke of Sussex to attend the royal nuptials. At hall-past'll a troop of life guards ar rived to escort his royal highness, who catered his 'carriage at lv ininutes'to' 12' o 'clock, wheiv he was greeted by the most dt'afenilig cheers. His royal - hig - lnicss looked remarkably well, and Was'clressed in a field officer's uniform, wearing his collars and orders, and was accompanied by one of his equer ries. At haMliast one o'clock the children of the parochial, na tional, and Sunday schools, sat down to a substantial dinner of roast beef and plum-pudding, which was provided for .thew in the large rooms of the national schools. The entertain ment was attended by the venerable Archdeacon hitt (the vicar,) the ReV. H. Penny, and a large number of the sub scribers to the fund for the , purpose to which her Majesty had kindly forwarded £4O, the Duchess of Kent £2O, the Duke of Sussex £5, and the Princess Sophia £5. The school rooms were most tastefully decorated with evergreens and flags, bearing appropriate devices, and the recipients appeared highly delighted with their treat. The children of the infant schools had Also a supply of cake and oranges provided for therii. • WINDSOR-MONDAY. The Queen and Royal Consort arrived at the Castle at a little below seven o'clOck this evening. The royal pair came under a guard of honour of the second life guards, commanded by Lieutenant Tottenham. On arriving at the Castle, the royal bridegroom conducted her Majesty from the carriage to the royal apartments. The following attended the royal couple, and will compose the royal dinner party this evening :—Lady Sandwich, the lady in waiting ' • Hon. Miss Cocks and the Hon. Miss Caven dish, maids of honour ; Viscount Torrington, the lord in waiting ; Major Keppel, equerry ; and Capt. Seymour, groom in waiting. MONDAY EVEN INC.:—The weather during the past night was more boisterous than any we have experienced during the winter. "It " blew great guns," front 10 o'clock until sunrise, when— • "The dawn was overcast, the morning lower'd, And heavily in clouds brought on the day, The grea►, th' important day," on which were tote celebrated the nuptials of our maiden Sovereign and Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg. It continued to rain almost without intermission until noon, when the weather partially cleared up and continued tine but threatening, dur►ng the remainder of the day. From an early hour in the morning the bells of the pa►ish church continued to ring merry peals, until long after the arrival of the illuStrious pair this evening. Never until this day has the Royal Standard of England -floated from the turret of the round tower in the absence of the sovereign; but this afternoon at a quarter past twelve o'clock " The flag, which braved a thousand' years, The battle and the breese," was displayed from the tower, leading many persons to ima gine that her Majesty and the Prince had privately arrived at the Castle ; several persons immediately proceeded to the royal residence to. make the necessary iuquries r when, it was ascertained that the flag had been hoisted in pursuance of orders to that effect. • .• T ' . . . . The most eitraordinary and qulpable - delay has taken place in preparing some of the apartments ,atAit Castle for the reception of her Majesty, and at oue.tiple,it was feared that even the bridal chamber mould not be fread34 kty / t t hetime the : royst"pait , arrived.

ARRIVAL QF.HER MAJESTY AND PRINCE •• • ALBERT: Her Majesty and her royal consort did not arrive this even ing until a few minutes before seven o'clock. Agreeably to the expectations which had, been formed of the route which would he taken, the royal cavalcade, consisting of three carriages, took theyoad from Slough to Windsor. At Eton her Majesty was received by the Etonians, who were drawn up to receive the Queen and the Prince, opposite the college. Her Majesty appeared to be highly tratitird at these demonstrations of loyalty and attaehthent. The Etonians escorted her. Majesty through Eton, cheering the royal pair the whole of the way, until they retired upon the royalvarriages entering the Castle . gates.; "A' defaehment of the 2d regiment of life guards, under the coininand of Lieut. Tottenham, escorted her Majesty from . Chiubrook. Upon the carriage arriving at the castle the Prince first }slighted, who then offered his hand to her Majesty, and the" Queen, who appeared in excellent health and spirits, lightly jamped off• the step, and was supported on the arm of the Prince to the royal apartments. THE BANQUET IN TIIE EVENING: In the evening a very splendid banquet was - given in the Banqueting-hall built by George IV. Before the commencement of this splendid lea§t. theguests, invited, who consisted of most of the individirUls, present in the morning, and of other, noble and distingUished persons, assembled in the Throne-room, and' the Council-chamber; and Drawing-room adjoining. - The Earl of -Errol, : as Lord Steward, acted in the capacity of host, and, at twenty minutes past eight, the company proceeded to the Bkiriquethall, the band of the Coldstream Foot Guards, which. was placed in the ante-room, between the Gallery and the BanqUet-roOm, playing " God save the Queen!" The decOrations of the Banquet-hall and tables were most gorgeous, .including. the whole of the costly gold plate usually kept at Windsor, whiCh was arranged on a temporary sideboard, erected for the 'pur pose, at the west end of the room. The room was lighted by five splendid chandeliers, of rich workmanship and gild ing, and candelabra, bearing almost innumerable wax lights, which were placed on the table's, and imparted a brilliancy to the glittering plate, exhibiting a most enchanting scene. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent sat at the table at which the Earl of Errol presided. • When we say that the noble earl was president, however, we should explain to our readers, that, although his lordship acted as president of the least, her royal highness was, in fact, the chairwoman of the top table. Her royal highness was supported on the right by the Earl of Errol, and by the Earl of Albemarle on the • - left. The long table on the right of the chair was called Mr. .Byng's table, being presided over by the Right Honourable G.. 8. Byng, Comptroller of the Household, while Mr. Mur ray acted as chairman of the table on the left-band side. The dinner having been served, at about twenty minutes to ten o'clock the dessert was placed upon the table. At five minutes before ten the Earl of Errol rose and gave " The Queen," with three times three. All the gueits immediately responded to the toast with evident heartfelt satisfaction. The cheers were long and continuous, and, as they concluded, the band played the national anthem. The glasses were then replenished, and the noble chairman proposed, " His Royal Highness Prince Albert," with three times three, a toast which was responded to with equal alacrity and with equal cordiality. Prince Albert's march was then performed by 'the band. "The health of the Queen Dowager" was next'drunk, and was followed by the glee,. " Hail,. Star of Brunswick !" • " The health of the Duke of Saxe Coburg" was next drunk, and was followed by that of "The Duchess of Kent," which was drunk with three times three. The only other toast drunk before the retirement of the ladies was " The health of Prince Ernest." At twenty minutes past ten the ladies quitted the Ban queting-room, the Duchess of Kent going first, preceded by the Earl of Errol, the Earl of Uxbridge, the Earl of Sur rey, and the honourable Mr. Murray. • In a short time afterwards the Duke of Saxe Coburg and Prince Ernest quitted the banquet-hall similarly. attended. The party, then broke up and retired to the coffee-room at about half-past ten o'clock, and by eleven all had departed, the greater portion of them going to the ball given by the Duchess of Sutherland. THE THEATRES • AND - OTHER PLACES OF PUBLIC AMUSEMENT. In consequence of arrangements having been entered into by government with the proprietors of the patent and minor theatres, and most of the wel l-kn own' concert-rooms and tea-gardens in the suburbs of London, the public were ad mitted gratuitously to their different - establishments. The proprietors very wisely took the precaution 'of admittng the public by tickets only, in order to prevent accidents at the opening of the doors by the, rush of the crowd. On Monday morning it having been announced in the bills Qf •the per formance that tickets, for the ,boXes.•pit,•and,galleries, were to be obtained at certain , hours. in the inornin„ o i thovstpriO rs of the theatres, long before the box-offices were opened, were literally besieged by persons of all classeanxitKollto obtain tickets of admission, a limited number of , which were:only issued. In the evening, shortly after the doors were opened, all the theatres, in every part , were c r owded to excess. In most of the theatres the national anthen . was sung by the vocal corps, and, at the Victoria, an additional verse,,writ ten for the occasion, was introduced. THE ILLUMINATIONS. In the evening the metropolis was very generally nated, though not to such an extent as on former occasions. The most brilliant displays were at the clubs an d pu b l i c • buildings, and at the west end of the Strand, Cock spur-street, Charing-cro ss , R ege nt -street, and Piccadilly. So were they at the Kensington eud, from Knightsbridge onwards. 1-I re , indeed, th e ent h us i asm se ems to.have centred; almost every' house was illuminated ; flags and :•banners. ; waited from all parts; and, as soon as the marriage was over, the eruw4 thronged in that direction. The whole-of:Oxford-street the north part of th e t own , a nd the City-road, exhibi te d a Lost beggarly account, and even in the city the good folks were charily enlightened; and many of those noblenien and pri vate gentlemen: who, at the coronation, did especial honour to their Sovereign, this time omitted their exuberance of loyal devotion. Northumberland-house particularly struck us. It was, at the coronation, one 'blaze of light, and admi rably filled up. the half side of Trafalgar-square ; but, on Monday..l4ht„ it looked dark and gloomy. The deVices exhibited great sameness—a star, a crown, or the initials " V A," or " V R" and " P A," formed by far the greater portion. Love-knot s were f ew , an d b r id e ' s fa- Yours not numerous. But; among the exceptions, we must enumerate the hCautiful designs in variegated lamps at the Ordnaoce and the Admiralty; the really splendid works of AleAsrs. Stevens and Co., at the Horse Guards and Smiler- Net-house,- the gas thrown into •the coloured lamps burning 40 . 4 cfo i nLakobstruetion by wind, or rain, and combining all the brilliancy of the gas with the colours of the-lamps ; - .•the. • blight gas emblems at the Athemenm, Reform, and Guards' Clubs; and the chasteness and elegance of the Bank and Travellers' Club. • • ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. (From the Court Circular) Her Majesty the Queen wore on her head a wreath of orange blossoms, and a veil of Honiton lace, with a necklace and ear-rings of diamonds. Iler Majesty's dress was of white satin, with a very deep trimming of Honiton lace, in design similar to that of the veil. The body and sleeves were richly trimmed with the same material, to correspond. The train was of white satin, and was also lined with white satin, trimmed with orange blossoms. The dress. was made by Mrs. Bettans, her Majesty's dressmaker. The cost of the lace alone on the Queen's dress was .XI,000.• . The satin, which was of pure white, was manufactured in Spitaltields. Her Majesty wore an armlet, having the motto of the Order of the Garter, " Honi snit-qui mal y pense," inscribed, and also wore the Star of the Order. The Queen Dowager's dress was of English lace, with a rich deep flounce - over White • satin,- the body and sleeves trimmed with the 'same material. The train was of rich violet velvet, lined with white satin, and trimmed with er mine. The whole of the dresS- was- entirely composed of articles of British. manufacture. .Her Majesty .wore a dia mond necklace and ear-rings . ; head-dress, 'feathers and dia monds. The dress worn .by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent was of . white satin, splendidly brocaded with silver, and trimmed with three flounces of blonde, headed with net and silver. . The train was of sky-blue velvet, lined with -white satin, and trimmed with ermine. The body and sleeves were tastefully ornamented with ermine and silver; with blonde ruffles. The head-dress was of diamonds and fea thers, with a necklace and ear-rings en suite. The articles in the dress were wholly of British manufacture. Among the morning dresses of the Queen's trousseau is one of very beautiful design, entirely made of Honiton lace, with handsome flounces, and worn over white silk. The • lace of this dress was made by Mrs. Clarke, of Honiton.. A state banquet, in celebration of her majesty's marriage, was given last evening at St. James's Palace, in the grand banqueting room. A cross table at the end of the room was appropriated fir the principal guests ; the rest of the com pany occupied two long tables at the sides of the room. • In the middle of the cross table was placed her majesty's wedding-cake, decorated . with four elegant flags of white satin, containing the royal arms. The gold plate was used at the banquet, and the plateaus of all the tables contained sonic of, the finest epergnes and candelabra in the royal collection, embellished with classical and mythological subjects. A magnificent sideboard at the end of the room, tiling With crimson drapery, looped up with white rosettes, the highest in the centre surmounted by an imperial crown, displayed to great advantage a great number of every variety of shk.lds, salvers, vases, tankards, and cups, interspersed and illumi 7 nated with candelabra and sconces. The shield immediately • under the crown had a fine alto-relievo, the subject a battle piece. At the bottom of the sideboard were a number of choice tankards and cups; the most interesting of the num ber being . the national cup, designed by Flaxman, with the patron saints`of England, Ireland, and Scotland, in niches, introduced on the 'circumference, and between the divisions the national badges of the three nations formed by precious stones, and surmounted each by crowns. The cover of the cup represents the combat of St. George and the Dragon. Under the centre shield were a curious salver from Mexico, and the antique urn captured from the Spanish Armada. In the principal division were also the shield of Achilles and a very large gold dish, with a very deep and elegant border modelled from Stothard's design. Among the tankards was a very large one, having inserted in it a great number of medals struck in Holland during the time of the common wealth,- in honour of the knights of the garter. A medallion of Charles 11. is placed in the centre. The handle is formed by the figure of a dragon, and the tankard has on the top a large crown adorned with precious stones, the cushion formed by a single amethyst of large size. Bulb and crystal cups, and others with enamelled paintings or enriched with pre cious stones, and several vases copied from the Warwick vase, Were among the collection, which also included some statuary groups executed in gold.

This evening the royal dinner party will be composed of the following personages :—The Countess of Sandwich, Hon. Misses Cavendish and Cocks, Viscount Torrington, Captain Seymour, the Hon. Major Keppel, and the Baroness Lehzen. WINDSOR, TUESDAY EVENING. her Majesty, as she promenaded on the Slopes this morn ing' arni in arm with her royal consort, appeared in excellent health and spirits. His royal highness is perfectly recovered from the fatigues of his long journey. Tier Majesty breakfasted at the early 'hour of halfltast eight o'clock' this morning. The• Queen and his royal high msg.-were-occupied' in perusing the morning papers from the hour of their arrival this morning until they left the castle for their morning walk.• The.

The prOceedingS; ii r aWevet',•passed'Offuthltith , morel peaceably than it had "been anticipated. The conservatives who were present (the liberals, it must be observed; predo minated) very wisely, perhaps, gUlped - down the healths of her Majesty's Ministers and of- the :whig-radical representa tives (?) of the borough, and thus the peace and harmony of the festival was not, in any way, broken' in upon by political. hickerings. The occasion upon which the party were assembled may be said to have justified this. forbearance. 'Upon the health of her Majesty's ministers being proposed by the mayor (who very judiciously abstained during the evening from introduc ing, except very rernotely; and only then when rendered hn perative froth the nature of some of the toasts, the subject of politics), Mr.. Gordon, one of our members, returned thanks on the part, as he very justly expreSsed himself, of "his mas ters." Captain•BulkeleY responded,•in an admirable speech, to - the • toast of "The Army and Navy." The whole pro ceedings passed' off in harmony with the occasion, and the mayor's conduct and tact in the ch is were highly compli men tarp to his good sense and discrimination. (From - the .Windsor Court .Newsman.) WINDSOR—WEDNESDAY. This afternoon her Majesty was driven out in a pony phe ton by Royal Highness Prince Albert, through the Long- Walk, returning•along the Ascot-road. The following is a list of the distinguished personages who arrived at .the Castle. to-day :—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, their Serene Highnesses the Duke and Prince . of Saxe Cobourg, Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, Viscount Melbourne, Earl and Countess of Uxbridge, Earl .of -Erroll, Ladies Eleanora and Constance Paget, Lady Fanny Howard, Earl of Albemarle, Mr. and Mrs. Brand, Hon. Miss Matilda Paget, Sir George and the Hon. H. An son, Baron Alvensliben, Baron Stockmar, Baron Lowenfels, Count Koldwrath, Monsieur de Grubens, and Captain Peel nitz. In addition to the above distinguished visiters, the follow ing will also join the royal dinner party this evening :—The Countess of Sandwich, Hon. Misses Cavendish and Cocks, Hon. : Mejor Keppel, Viscount Torrington, and Captain Sey- The band of the 2d life guards will play during dinner. In the evening her Majesty's private band will be in attendance. The Duke of Saxe Cobourg, accompanied by Prince Ernest, rode out this afternoon on horseback. (From the Correspondent of the Morning Herald.) Her Majesty took a carriage airing to-day, for the first time since her union with Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg. The Queen was driven by his royal highness, and appeared in great spirits. The prince looked remarkably . well.• Her Majesty, who was accompanied by the distinguished visiters who arrived to-day at the castle, and attended by a numerous suite, drove through the Long-walk, and returned up the King's-road, turning off through Peascod-street, in which direction they proceeded to the castle. I forgot to mention in a previous letter that the Queen presented the sum of £2O to the committee who were ap pointed to collect. subscriptions to defray the expenses of meat, bread, &c. presented to the poor of the town on the day of her Majesty's marriage. The ball to celebrate her Majesty's nuptials took place last evening at the Town-hall, which was elegantly fitted up for the occasion. Adam's band was in attendance. Nearly 200 of the rank and fashion of the town and neighbourhood were present, including some of the officers (and their ladies) stationed here, and dancing was kept up till past six o'clock this morning. Some wag has appended the signature of Jim Crow to the congratulatory address to her Majesty upon her marriage, which has caused a. good deal of hubbub in this small town, and denunciations the most terrible have been levelled at the unlucky " defacer" of the loyal address. Considering the Jim Crow wheel-about-turn-about vagaries in which the Queen's Ministers have so frequently indulged, it could not be supposed that her Majesty could be offended at a Jim Crow congratulating her upon her marriage. It is fully expected that the court will leave the castle for Buckingham Palace on Friday next, contrary to the general report, upon her Majesty's arrival on Monday last, that the royal visit to the castle would extend over a period of at least a month. • COURT CIRCULAR--THuusn Av. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Fanny Howard, and their Serene Highnesses the Duke of Saxe Coburg and Gotha and Prince Ernest of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, attended by Baron Alvensleben, Count Kolo wrath, Baron Lowenfels, M. de Gruben, Captain Poelnitz, and Lord Alfred Paget, left Buckingham Palace, at half-past 11 o'clock yesterday morning, in three of the royal carriages and four for Windsor Castle, on a visit to the Queen. A se lect party were also invited to Windsor Castle, yesterday, to remain until Friday on a visit to her Majesty. The follow ing had the honour of receiving invitations :—The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, Earl and Countess of Uxbridge , Ladies Eleanora and Constance Paget, the Earl of Errol, the Earl of Sandwich, Hon. Matilda Paget, Sir George Anson, Hon. Henrietta Anson, and Mr. and Mrs. Brand. ViScount Melbourne left his official residence in Downing street at four o'clock, for Windsor Castle. - . Prince George of Cambridge visited her Majesty the Queen Dowager, esterday, and took leave of her Majesty on leaving town for Brighton, to join his regiment. His royal highness dined.' ith her Majesty at• Marlborough House, on Tuesday evening. The prince visited the Princess Augusta and the Duchess of Gloucester, yesterday. The Duke of Cambridge visited the Princess Augusta, :yesterday, at Clarence House , St. James's. WEST PENNAttD ROYAL CHEESE.—The prOceeds arising from the exhibition of this royal cheese, having been aug mented by c ontributions tr9rn the spirited proprietors, were bountifully distributed during the Christmas week to all the pour within the parish of West Pennard, not in money, but winter clothing ; and a second subscription was raised, headed by E. Colston and Thomas Roach, Esqrs., by which eight waggo ns, heavily laden with coals, were obtained. A pro cession was formed on the. arrival of the waggons near to the village, and on its entering the place the seasonable su pply was distributed in quantities proportioned to the necessities of each poor family. A . sum of elO, remaining in hand, i s t o be appropriated as the future exigencies of the deserving poor may require. Thus have the yeowapry of West Pennard se t an example of benevelen6e of heart, deserving of the highest praise and of imitation. TOWN COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. A meeting of the Council, pursua n t t o a dj ournm ent from Saturday last, was held in the Ttivvn-hall, on Wednesday; for the despatch of business. The Mayor presided. BIRKENHEAD PROPERTY Mr. W. W: CuRRIE, Chairman of the Finance Committee, stated that it would be necessary to postpone the further consideration of this purchase, in consequence of a small ad- Paining lot—necessary to complete the whole—not being ready for sale, until the monthly meeting in March next. ,The subject was therefore postponed. , • , COMMITTEt PROCEEDINGS. The proceedings of the' IMprovement Committee were read and : confirmed. They stated,. among other matters, that, the designs for the . ne%v Assize Courts would be placed in the Exhibition-rooms for publicin4Pection. • • • ' The proceedings of the Watch Committee were also read, and, with the exception of that part relative to Mr. Whitty's increase of salary, confirmed. Among them was the follow ingletter from the Mayor to the Chairman of the Committee. CircumstaneeS bare caused me to inquire into the state of the principal Bridewell ; and although lam aware that the Watch Committee have, at various periods made valuable alterations and improVements in that estahlishmedt, I con sider its present state such as to demand renewed considera tion. " It will be seen that a report called for by my inquiries, made to me by the keeper of the main bridewell, that the present building is totally inadequate to the increased de mands upon the establishment. I deem it expedient to call the particular attention of the Watch Committee to this statement, it appearing to me that the circumstances impera tively require immediate investigation on the part of the committee, and report to the Council. " Whatever steps may be determined upon for immediate relief, the committee will, I trust, not lose sight of the ad vantage to arise from the permanent arrangement, in one building, of the Assize and other Courts of Justice, (Borough Courts,) the Police Court, the Court of Requests, the Watch Offices, and the Main Bridewell. " With reference to this object, I beg to submit, that, as the question,.whether the necessary accommodation for Po lice Courts, and Watch and Police Offices, in the intended erection on the Old Infirmary Ground is still undetermined, it would be very desirable that the subject should be taken into most serious consideration, as a measure not only of con venience, but of economy. It is quite clear that sufficient space may be appropriated for the whole of such Courts and Offices, and that the intended area of the basement story might be formed into a Bridewell, of such extent as to admit of the classification of prisoners being effected and maintained up to hearing and removal, an object which is so extremely desirable. "The Committee have, I am aware, been long convinced that great saving would arise in police expenses by such an arrangement, as well as increased facilities to the police force, in the execution of their duties. " Without, however, taking into consideration either this saving, or the' great value of the sites of the buildings now occupied for those purposes, which would be set at liberty, the committee will probably think that there are circum stances of such urgent importance stated in the report of the bridewell keeper, as to call for an immediate inquiry, and an expression of their opinion to the Council. (Signed) • JosxuA WALMSLEY, Mayor." The report alluded to in the above was. not read to the Council. The Committee had passed a resolution to the effect, that, as it appeared that the subject alluded to in the letter de manded immediate investigation, a sub-committee was ap pointed for the' purpose of investigating the affair, with power to call before them the officers who could give the required information. The committee further reported, that in consequence of complaints of the dark state of Revenue-buildings, they had written to the Bridge Foundry C om pany, at arrington, requesting that the gas pillars should be sent forthwith. The report contained the proceedings up to passing the re solution on the proposed introduction of clauses 42 and 43 of the Metropolitan Police - Bill into this borough, embodied in a report presented to the Council some time since. • • ADDITIONAL SALARY TO THE HEAD CONSTABLE. Mr. THORNHILL, chairman of the Watch Committee, moved the confirmation of that part of the report relating to the proposed increase of Mr. Whitty's salary to £7OO per annum. The resolution, he said, was passed unanimously, and nearly every gentleman present expressed his concur rence in it, and in the zeal, industry, and integrity, with which Mr. Whitty had performed the duties of his office. Every gentleman acquainted with the laborious and arduous duties which Mr. Whitty performed, and with the efficient and proper manner with which he discharged them, would cheerfully agree with the recommendation of the Watch Committee, and vote cordially for the confirmation of their resolution. Perhaps it was not known to every member of the council that when Mr. Whitty was appointed to the situation of head constable and superintendent of the fire police, at his present salary, he had only the town and the fire police under his direction. Since then, and for more than two years and a half, Mr. Whitty had had the dock po lice under his care, .which formed one-third of the whole ser vice, and which did not require the least part of his care and attention. For this additional duty Mr. Whitty had received no additional pay whatever. Mr. Whitty's duties were not confined to five or six hours a day, as many other officers were ; but they occupied sixteen hours at least every day— and part of that time was frequently devoted to visiting the different districts during the night. In cases of fire and other emergencies, he was always liable to be called up when taking his rest ; and this was a part of his duty which ex posed him to great danger of personal injury, and even of life. Under these circumstances he (Mr. Thornhill) thought the council would see the necessity of increasing Mr. Whitty's salary to a sum which he justly deserved. In paying the sa lary of £7OO per annum, they would not he paying so much as was paid at other places. In Manchester, the gentleman who held the head situation had £7OO a year, and had the superintendence of only four hundred men ; and, besides this, the superintendent of the fire police had £2OO per an num, and he had thirty men—thus, in Manchester, they were paying X9OO for the superintendence of four hundred and thirty nien, whilst in Liverpool they were paying only 1:700 for the superintendence of six hundred men. It must be alloiierrlharn6'officer ever discharged his duties with more zeal nr , wi,thigreater integrity—wnich he (Mr. Thornhill) . particularly,.:melitioned,' because this was an office w hi c h 'lle , trindli - 41bitsed+-4han Mr. Whitty. He had there fforere,at, pleasure-,i,ap t roposino• that Mr. Whitty's salary be increased ,to £7OO per annum from the 20th of December la s t. JoariA*Said-he had great pleashre in seconding the riaMtion.PlitrrliitifliOio.from an intimate ,knowledge- of Mr. ,Whitty's • zear d ac antivity in the duti es o f hi s o ffice. 1%1 'a I .4P.TAV - iikN eE hoped , ' the council would confirm this reenmMendation,of the Watch Committee unanimously, for lie did not believe it was possible to have a more mereto riotiS 'servant than Mr. Whitty. He had seen a great deal of him, and men of all parties, agreed in acknowledging his merits. The MAYOR then put the question, and the motion was unanimously carried. THE METROPOLITAN POLICE ACT. The To\N•.CLERK read_ the following resolutions of the Watch Committee, agreed' to at a meeting on Tuesday last, relative to this bill :- • _ . " Resolved—That the committee continue of. opinion that many of the clauseS- of the metropolitan police act remaining for the report of the committee are valuable provisions, de sirable for the, better government and regulation of the borough of Liverpool. • "That, however' the committee are of opinion, that not only the clauses affecting licensed victuallers. reported on by this committee, but several of the - provisions now referred to Would be more properly. the subject of part of a public bill, extending not merely to Liverpool, but to the surrounding districts, the large towns, and the country in general. " That the committee are, - therefore, of-opinion, that any local bill ought to be postponed until, in the present session, the strongest representations have been made to the govern ment and the legislature for a public bill. And " Further resolved—That the committee are fortified in their opinion in favour of the postponement of any local bill until the next session, from 'a conviction that any such bill, on the part of the council, ought to embrace the consolidation, in one act, of all the present enactments for the government of the borough, now scattered over various acts of parliament, many of the provisions of which remain unrepealed, and others repealed only by implication, from similar enactments, for the same objects, in subsequent acts ; the proper framing of a bill for which important purpose would require the time and attention of several of the committees of the council, as well as the Dock Committee, and, especially, the magistrates, and cculd not he well prepared in time for the present session. " Resolved—That the town-clerk be authorised to report these resolutions to the council, with any explanation that may be required ; and that it be recommended to the council to direct the proposed petitions to the government and the legislature, and to empower this committee after their part of the proposed consolidated bill has had full consideration, to transfer the subject to the other committees and the au thorities referred to, this committee having determined to proceed with the consideration of the proposed bill at once, if the course proposed by them be approved by the council. " W. THORN inLL, Chairman." The TOWN-CLERK added that upon legal grounds he con curred in the recommendation of the Committee that it was desirable to have all the local acts consolidated as soon as possible. Mr. THORN HILL moved the adoption of the report Mr. PRESTON seconded the motion.—lt was carried. MARKET COMMITTEE: The proceedings of the Market Committee were next read and confirmed. TOWN-HALL ESTABLISHMENT COMMITTEE. Mr. CURRIE moved that William Oulton be appointed sword-bearer, in the place of the late John Hannah, de ceased, with au addition of ze:10 to his present salary, which would be a saving of £l2O per annum. After a few remarks from the MAYOR, and from Mr. Alderman EARLE, thisluotion was agreed to. EDUCATION COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee having been read, Mr. RATHBONE moved their confirmation, and Mr. Alderman BULLEY seconded the motion.—The resolution was carried. Mr. RATHBONE then moved all increase of £lO each to the salaries of Miss Brennan, Miss M`Bride, and Mr. Morris, and a gratuity of £2O to James Taafe for past ser vices, and his appointment as a teacher. Mr. Alderman EARLE seconded the motion. Mr. SANDBACII asked two questions. One was, how happened that the present schools were so much more ex pensive than the former ones ? and the other, what was the number of children in the charity schools in Liverpool? From the report of the committee of inquiry he found that for £6OO a-year, 1069 children, under the old system, had received education ; whilst now about the same number cost £l3ll. Mr. RA.THBONE said that the education was better now than under the old system, in as much as more and better qualified teachers were employed, and that caused the addi tional expense. As to the other question, Mr. Sandbach had the same means of information as himself. After some remarks to the same effect from Mr. EARLE and Mr. BOLTON, the proceedings of the committee were confirmed. BILL FOR INLAND BONDING. The MAYou. intimged tbat the town-clerk had received a copy of the bill for inland bonding, which any member might see on application.* He might say that if the proposed mea sure would do no good to the inland towns, it could do no harm to Liverpool ; and if it would do good to the inland towns, perhaps then the council would be of opinion that they were entitled to it. Mr. BUSHELL said, he did not understand the object of this announcement. The MAyojt said, Mr. Bushell at a previous council, had asked a question relative to this bill, and he wished now to have the fact known that the town-clerk had a copy of it. MEMORIALS. ... The MAYOR presented several memorials. The first was from the committee of the Mechanics' Institution,. calling on the council to take into consideration the subject of the formation of a school for civil engineers. After some enn s i,. deration, the memorial was ordered to lie on the table. Second.—A memorial from sixty-eight coach and car proprietors, praying for an alteration of the present rate of fares, for a restriction in the number of licensed cars, and for an increase in the number of stands. Referred to the Finance Committee. Third.—A memorial from the Hairdressers' Association, for a clause to be inserted in any police bill, laying a heavier penalty off any one that follows his occupation on the Sunday. Referred to the Watch Committee. Fourth.—A memorial from thirteen master sweeps, pray ing the council to placard the town with the clauses of the late act affecting them, snaking it unlawful to take appren tices under a certain age, or to cry and hawk through the streets, and to enforce the said act in the town. Referred to the town-clerk, under the sanction of the ntaym% Fifth.—A memorial from eleven master stevedores, renuest , ing the council to introduce into the pill for the amendinent of the by-laws, a clause to empower the council to make by-laws for the regulation of stevedores. Mr. BOLTON obserced, that this subject had already been before the Finance Committee, who had found it beset with so many difficulties that they had thought it bettei'to have nothing to do with it. (" Let the Watch Committee try their hands then.") Referred lo the Watch Committee. _ Sixth—A memorial from the housekeepers of Queen square, complaining of the injury done to their property by allowing market carts to stand in the square on market dayS• Mr. H. HOLMES said 'that the injury had been a rise in the value of the property of 30 per cent. Referred to the Market Committee. Seventh--A memorial from the inhabitants of Cleveland square, praying that their market might be made a covered market. - Mr. Alderman Bourn had bc'en requested to'support the petition. He thought that the propoied'alteration ought to be carried into effect. Mr. JORDAN observed that the present condition of the market was a disgrace to the town. Cleveland-square market paid very handsomelY, and ought to be improved. Mr. DUNCAN said that the subject had previously been before the Market Committee, and plans had been submit ted to them; but they thought the expense would be too much. if the state of the corporation funds would permit the alteration to be made, he should be very glad ' • f or at present the market was more like a congregation of gipsies than a regular market. _ _ _ Mr. H. HOLMES questioned whether they had power to cover the market. The TOWN-CLERK thought it would be better to leave the consideration of any legal points to the time when the subject came before the committee. .; • Mr. RATHBONE was of opinion that something should be done. He thought that a trilling sum would at any rate serve to make the market better. • - . . , Mr. ROBINSON recommended that' Cleveland-square market should be done away, as it was very inconveniently situated, and that the ground on which the old custom-house stood should be taken as the site of a new market. Mr. Alderman EvAigs said, that perhaps Mr. Robinson was not aware that the site of his proposed new market Nvss worth £40,000. They had laid out a great deal in markets lately, and Mr. Bolton had always been snubbing him (the (speaker) when lie proposed any improvement in thou , (Laughter.) Mr. CURRIE was in favour of deferring the consideration of the memorial. He doubted whether Cleveland-square market could be covered without stopping the thoroughfares , and making the market much smaller. Mr. Alderman SHEIL also thought that it was imprac• ticable to make any considerable alteration. He agreed, rn° l with Mr. Robinson that a new site for the market should be found, for he could not countenance the opinicn that the ae; commodation and convenience of the public was a matter or secondary import. Laud might be got, at a small distance, from Cleveland-square, fom a very good market, which would be of essential service to that part of the town. No difficult)' as to funds ought to weigh with the council; for he was sure that that difficulty would go increasing every year. If the thing were not done this year, it would be much more di' cult next year ; if it were not done next year, the capabilitl of doing it would be still less in the ensuing year. Thee penditure of the corporation was increasing every year ; 81 '" the further they advanced, the less money would there bell beneficial purposes. It would be much better if they P ie . attention to those great matters which were for theadvantagZ of the community, rather than let their money slip througu, their fingers in various small sums, which produced little 0 no benefit. Mr. CASE thought it unwise to lay out mcney on the jet" provement of either Cleveland-square or Pownall-Equa te markets, seeing that the time was not far distant when th e) ' Must necessarily be superseded by more commodious ma r• kets. of Mr. YATES was of opinion that no alteration in the sit e a market ought to be hastily resolved upon, as great defetoi ence ought to be shewn to the rights of property, and , ,, course, many people must have made investments in prope r ' on the certainty that the markets would not be removed. Mr. LEATIIOM was favourable to the extension of Cleo" land-square market, and corroborated (what had been Pr e. viously mentioned) the fact of the Finance Committee 1 11 1, ing recommended that several leases of property in the neigo bourhood of the market should not be renewed, in order th,. the anticipated extension might be one day carried into effe v. Mr. PLATT thought that the alteration could and ought be made. 1 10 Mr. H. HoLmEs stated, in reply to a question from j Jordan, that the markets yielded a return of from 4; t ° per cent. Mr. BOLTON spoke in favour of the alteration. The memorial was then referred to the Market Con3ml tte THE SELECT VESTRY AND THE TOWN-COUNCIL. The TOWN-CLERK read a report on the resolution of ', se lect vestry, presented at a previous meeting of the coriou'ic Mr. SMITH said that it had been held out to the pli w o that the watch-rate would be placed on the same footia 4 before the passing of the municipal bill. Would it iw t oe breaking faith with the public if the council did not ge t act of last session repealed ? tit The TOWN-CLERK said that there had been no pledg e, e y anything amounting to the shadow of a pledge, nor anY bii pectation held out to the public, beyond this, that the 43 0 „e gation to levy, under the act of last session, should bed ore away with, and the council have the power to levy no ts tlit than the amount that had hitherto been levied under general act. bu Mr. SMITH asked why, if there was any sincerity, $ te : rough rate could not be levied as well as a watch r$ There would, in his opinion, be no difference. oc e The TOWN-CLERK denied that there was no differtir between the two rates. A borough rate , could never be for vied until there was a positive deficiency in the ineo t t e och the meeting of the obligatory expenditure ; but the Kd rate, when levied, would form part of the general incohl,,'bir perhaps be all that was left, after the defraying of the "„ c ). gatory expenditure, to go to the improvement of the bore"oi3O Mr. RATHBONE was surprised that Mr. Smith have reqUired the explanation of the . Town-clerh• 4! thought that the parish had not acted. towards the &Ail' ought with that liberality with which one body to act t oo° another. He moved the adoption of the report. Mr. JORDAN' seconded7the motion.—Agreed. Mr, CASE asked whether the parish bill was going oh ? The TOWN-CLERK replied in the affirmative. THE-SBEERIFFS Or LONDQN.
