A —Two stars, supporting crown, and two tran The cavalcade was soon again in motion, the Mayor's carriage taking its place in the procession. It was about eleven o'clock when the Peel-park was reached, and here the open space in front of the entrance, as well as the houses, windows, terraces, balconies, house-tops, and every place from whence a view of the Royal pageant could be obtained, swarmed with eager and interested spectators, who rent the air with their shouts. The Park was, like all the other portions of the borough through which the Queen passed, very gaily decorated with flags. The most imposing and interesting sight, however, was the children of the different schools, who were drawn up in a double row of balconies lining the ap proach to the pavilion to the number of between 75,000 and 80,000. They were all arranged according to the different localities and schools, each being distinguished by banners, and each of the children wearing a medal sus pended to a blue ribbon. The pavilion, which was erected on the site of the gymnasium in the park, was built in the form of an oblong tent, the seats being arranged am phi theatrically, and the centre, which was open to the park and fronting the children, being reserved for the munici pal authorities. Most of the visitors were ladies in full dress, and the whole of the arrangements for the admis sion and accommodation of those who were favoured with tickets were as satisfactory and judicious as was possible under the circumstances. Among the gentlemen in front who were in waiting to receive her Majesty were Mr. J. Brotherton, M.P., Mr. Wm. Brown, M.P. the Bishop of Manchest er , th e R ev. H ugh Stowell, Mr:Langley, ex mayor of Salford, the Venerable Archdeacon Rushton, Colonel Clowes, And all the members of the municipal body, distinguished by white rosettes. At a quarter to eleven the hoisting of a flag on a distant tower gave intimation to the company assembled in the pavilion, that the Royal corage was approaching. All was now the most intense excitement, and in a few minutes the distant sound of a sea of human voices rose upon the ear, which was taken up by thecrowd nearer to the pavilion, the roar of human voices rising and falling upon the ear like the surging of the mighty ocean. It was a few minutes past eleven when the cortege drew up 'n front of the pavilion, and, in accord ance w ith a suggest i on thrown out by the late mayor, the company rose, hut gave no expression to their feelings, while the municipal autho rities, beaded by the mayor and the town-clerk, advanced to the side of the carriage, and read the address to the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert. Earl Grey, the Duke of Norfolk, and Colonel Gordon, remained standing by the side of the carriage while they were being read. Tier Majesty, in reply, expressed her high gratification at receiving the address of the inhabitants of the bornneh ' I of Salford, and the great pleasure it afforded her at seeing the attention that was paid to the education of the rising generation in Manchester and Salford, as evidenced in the novel and interesting scene before her. The Royal carriage then moved off in its progress through the park, followed by the carrisges.containing the Earl of Ellesmere and the Duke of Wellington. The company then broke into a loud and enthusiastic cheer, which was repeated three times three, and taken up by the multitudes assem bled in the park. As the Queen passed along the vast range of terrace-like seats on which the children were assembled, they commenced singing the " National Anthem," the voices of 80,000 children producing a singularly-pleasing and novel effect, and filling the air with infantine melody. The Duke of Wellington, who was in an open carriage in her Majesty's train, was recognised by the people, and was loudly and enthusiastically cheered. The noble duke, however, seemed to consider that all the honours of the day were intended for his Royal Mistress, and leaned back in his carriage without appearing to suppose that any portion of the public salutations was intended for himself. The Earl of Ellesmere, who was also recognised in one of the carriages. was frPnertally ehrarorl rvno gerierutly cucerea. 1 Ile Royal party then proceeded through the park on its way to Man. chester amid the loud cheering of the crowds who lined the road. From Peel Park to the boundary of Salford the road was one ovation of countless thousands, and endless shouts of applause, and all the outward manifestations of heartfelt respect and attachment which are its true indi cations. At the boundary of the borough of Manchester is Victoria-bridge, a very handsome and lofty structu• bout 60 1 re, a eet high and 45 feet in depth, consisting of a large central and two side arches. in the architraves were the Royal arms in relief, the spandrils being filled with interwoven roses, thistles, and shamrocks:; all this was profusely decorated with flags, flowers, &c., and had a very novel and striking effect. At this point of the route the cortege was met by the Mayor of the borough of Manchester, who, after paying his respects to the Queen, preceded the Royal carriages through the prin cipal streets. duke took his seat on one of the front benches on the right of the throne, and looked round smilingly upon the gay scene. Before the temporary excitement occasioned by the entry of his grace bad subsided, a loud burst of ac clamation from the crowd without announced the arrival of her Majesty. Immediately afterwards the Queen, leaning on the arm of the Prince, entered the hall ; all the visitors rose, the organ and orchestra commencing the " National Anthem." The Queen, who was attended by Earl Grey, the Duke of Norfolk, the Marquis of West. menth, Colonel Gordon, Colonel Phipps, and the Ladies in Waiting, ascended the dais, and stood in front of the throne, his Royal Highness Prince Albert standing on her left, and the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal on her right, and remained thus while the " National Anthem" was being sung. Her Majesty was, as on the previous day, attired in court mourning, and carried in her hand a magnificent bouquet, presented to her by the Mayor of Salford at the boundary of the borough. The bouquet., which was composed of fragrant exotics, was furnished by Harding. of Clifford-street, Bond-street. At the termination of " God save the Queen" the Mayor (Sir Thomas Potter) advanced to the steps of the dais, and was formally presented to her Majesty by Earl Grey. The Recorder (Mr. Armstrong, M.P., and Queen's Counsel) then read the address. Her Majesty having received the address, proceeded to read the following reply, whichwas handed to her by Earl Grey : " Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen—l have much pleasure in re ceiving the address you have presented to me, and I thank you for the warm loyalty and attachment it expresses. " I rejoice to have been enabled to visit your borough—the capital of one of the most imp rtant branches of industry car ried on in my dominions ; and I have derived the highest gra tification from the favourable account you are enabled to give me of the condition of my people—with whit*, in this large and manufacturing district, you must be intimately acquainted. " I feel deeply grateful to Providence for the prosperity you describe, and earnestly solicitous for the continuance of the blessings we enjoy." _ • The Mayor and the mover and seconder of the address had the honour of kissing her Majesty's hand. Her Majesty then communicated her command to Lord Grey, and the Mayor again approached and knelt; and the Queen, taking Col. Phipps's sword, and laying it upon either shoulder of the Mayor, the chief magistrate of Manchest'r rose uo " Sir John Potter." The address to Prince Albert was handed to his royal highness, but, according to the usual course, was not read. The royal party then retired from the room, the com pany breaking into a loud and log cheer as her Majesty passed. As the Duke of Wellington followed and passed through the door he also was cheered. Her Majesty returned from the Exchange through Sal ford by a different route from that by which she came The departure was by the Albert-bridge There was an evening party her Majesty Worsley-hall to meet RETURN OF THE COURT TO WINDSOR As early as seven o'clock on Saturday *morning his Royal Highness Prince Albert proceeded from Wors ley, through Bolton to Barrow Bridge, to visit the exten sive cotton mills of Messrs. Gardner and Bagley. Sir John Potter, the Mayor of Manchester, Mr. Ainsworth, the Mayor of Bolton, and several of the principal inhabi tants of the district were invited to meet his Royal Highness. The Prince having made a most minute inspection of the works, expressed himself highly gratified with his visit and what he had seen. Whilst his Royal Highness was absent from Worsley, a most interesting scene occurred. Her Majesty having condescended to receive an address from the clergy, teachers, and children connected with the schools upon the Earl of Ellesmere's estate, large bodies of the children began to arrive in the park at an early hour. At half-past ten the whole of the children, numbering 1400, were assembled on the grass slopes at the north front of the mansion, when her Majesiv appeared in the portico, and received from the hands of the Rev. St. Vincent Beechy, incumbent of Worsley, a congratulatory address, descrip. tive of happiness occasioned by the visit of the Sove reign to a district where the inhabitants enjoyed the pri vilege of living under a kind and indulgent patron, for whose works of benevolence and charity they could never feel sufficiently grateful. After the presentation of the address, the children s ang t wo verses o f t h e N at i ona l An them, led by a juvenile band, her Majesty remaining in the portico until after this tribute of loyalty had been paid. This interesting scene was witnessed by all the noble and distinguished guests staying at the hall, and by a great number of the leading inhabitants of the district. After the Queen's return from Manchester, her Majesty, on Friday night, visited Worsley Church, and walked through the grounds to the old hall, the residence of Mr. George Loch, returning through the homestead, and examining, with much interest, the domestic economy of Lady Ellesmere's poultry-yard. The dinner circle at night included the Mayor of Man chester and a few other additions to the party in the mansion. After dinner the Countess of Ellesmere re ceived about 100 of the leading clergy and inhabitants of the district. During the evening the patentee of the electric light exhibited it from various parts of the park and grounds. On Saturday morning a matinale, in honour of the Queen, was performed under her Majesty's window by a party of operatives from Manchester. Shortly before eleven o'clock, at which hour his Royal Highness Prince Albert returned from Bolton, prepara tions were commenced for her Majesty's departure from Worsley. The Worsley troop of Yeomanry Cavalry arrived in the park at an early hour, and formed an avenue from the mansion to the pavilion, where her Majesty embarked in the state barge destined to convey the royal party to Patrieroft. Her Majesty embarked at eleven o'clock, and was con veyed along the Bridgewater Canal amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the thousands of spectators lining its banks. At the Patricroft station George Glyn, Esq., M.P., chairman of the London and Northwestern Railway Com pany. was in attendance with the royal train to receive her Majesty. . Her Majesty was accompanied to Patricroft by the Earl and Countess of Ellesmere, the Earl of Sefton, the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, the Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster, the Earl and Countess of Derby, the Earl and Countess of Wilton, and all the youthful members of Lord Ellesmere's family. The Queen having taken leave of Lord and Lady Ellesmere and the other noble and dis tinguished persons present, the train moved off at a rapid rate towards Manchester. The population had here turned ont in great numbers to see the Royal cortege pass. At Stockport and all the other important towns on the route of the train, large numbers of the population had gathered together, by whom her Majesty was received with every mark of respect and loyal enthusiasm. At Stafford, the mayor and corporation were upon the platform in their official robes. The royal train stopped here to take in water, and the mayor had the honour of an introduction to her Majesty. At Rugby a great crowd had also congregated at the station, amongst whom were the boys of the Rugby School, accompanied by their masters. The journey thence was admirably performed. Her Majesty arrived at Watford three minutes after five, and having thanked Mr. Glyn and Captain Huish, the manager of the line, for the excellent manner in which time had been kept, immediately proceeded with the Royal suite, in four of the Royal carriages and four, through Watford and Uxbridge, to Windsor Castle, where the illustrious party arrived shortly before seven o'clock. DEPARTURE OF THE ROYAL FAMILY FROM OSBORNE. —Their Royal Highnesses the Princesses Helena and Louisa, and his Royal Highness Prince Arthur, with Lady Caroline Bar r i ng t on an d t h e H on. Captain Denman, embarked on Saturday morning, at nine o'clock, from Osborne, on board the royal yacht the Elfin, Master Commander Balliston, and came up to Portsmouth. The commander-in-chief, Admiral Sir T. Briggs, G.C.M.G., with Captain Martin, C. 8., and Flag Lieut. Pasley, met the royal children on their landing at the Clarence Yard, and conducted them to the railway carriage, and at ten o'clock they were en route for London to meet their august parents. SEARCH FOR SIR JOHN FRANKI,I,V. GLOCESTER, ENING. A most rem ar k a bl e circumstance in FRIDAY connexion VE with the lost Arctic voyagers has just occurred in the'vicinity of this city, and has been deemed of so much importance as to lead to an investigation by the Admiralty, which is now being proceeded with here. The circumstances which have led to this investigation, as gathered from the parties who have been the witnesses of the occurrence, are briefly these :—On Sunday last, as a lady, living at Wotton-lodge, near this city, was at dinner, she observed a small balloon descend in the gar den, and sent out the gardener to see what it was. The gardener brought it to his mistress, and it proved to be a small balloon filled with gas, to the car of which was attached a card, bearing the following inscription : " Erebus 112 W. Long. " 71 deg. N. Lat. " September 3d, 1851. " Blocked in." Of course it was supposed that this was a practical joke of some person, and Mrs. Russell, the lady alluded to, took no further notice of it, though next day she casually mentioned it to her friends. Some of them, on examining the balloon, thought the matter of sufficient importance to make further inquiries, and consequently a communi. cation of the fact was made to the Admiralty Board, who immediately replied to it by eleciric telegraph, and re quested the balloon to be sent up to London. This, of course, was done, and next day the Admiralty sent down Captain Beechy, R.N., to Glocester, to make further in quiries, acbompanied by an inferior officer from the Admi ralty, and yesterday and to-day these officers have been making diligent inquiries on the spot, and collecting the evidence to send up to London. The Admiralty officers have examined the balloon, and declare it to be, in fact, a real government balloon, of the same kind as those furnished to the Erebus before she left England. These balloons are of a peculiar shape, and are never sold to the public. The Globe says'!---" We are authorised to state that no balloons were supplied to either the Erebus or-Terror. The balloon found at Glocester was of the common description. On inquiry into the circumstances, no one was forthcoming to prove the fact of the finding of the balloon, and the whole affair is but a repetiticin of one of those heartless hoaxes which, for the credit of the country, we regret to see so frequently played off on a subject of such serious interest as the fate of Sir John Franklin." GREAT PLANT SALP..—In consequence of Mr. Thomas Whalley declining the nursery business, there will be an auction sale of the entire of his extensive and choice stock of fruit trees and ornamental plants of every kind. This will' be' a rare opportunity for our horticultural friends, whi4th few Will neglect, we presume.—See adrertlvernent, TILE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1851. ST. GEORGE'S HALL THIS magnificent building was commenced in 1841, from designs by the late Mr. Harvey Lonsdale Elmes, the architect of the Collegiate Institution, as also of the Asylum for Insane Paupers at Rainhill. It was originally intended that St. George's Hall and the Assize Courts should form two separate structures, both contiguous on the same plot of ground. A site for the purpose being given by the corporation, premiums were offered for designs for the hall, and, shortly after wards, for the assize courts •, and in both competitions, the first of seventy-five, and the second of eighty-six can didates, the successful competitor was Mr. Elmes. The original plan, however, was subsequently abandoned, as, according to it, one building must have been overlapped by the other. Mr. Elmes was, therefore, instructed to re-model his plans; when it was finally determined to unite the two into a single pile; and, so altered, his design was finally approved of by the town council in May, 1841; and the foundations shortly after commenced. On the death of Mr. Elmes, some years ago, Mr. Weight man, surveyor to the corporation, was directed to carry out the designs, and in that object he has been assisted by Mr. W. H. Wordley, who has himseif designed many portions of the interior, the plans for whi c h were l e f t i n an unfinished state by Mr. Elmes. It is a magnificent example of columnar architecture of the Roman style, " carried out "—to use the words of a professional man— "with Greek purity." In employing a mixture of Roman and Grecian archi tecture, there is no doubt the architect well knew it was almost impossible to employ the Grecian style wholly, in consequence of its limited compass; whereas a pleasing and imposing structure is raised by a judicious variation from Greek severity. The whole length of the building, exclusive of steps, is about 470 feet. The plan of the principal floor includes a large Hall, 169 by 77 feet in the clear, which occupies the centre portion of the building. On the east side a corn lor extends the whole length of the hall. On the west side is a Library, Sheriffs' -court, and Vice-Chancellor of the Duchy's -court. By a flight of steps at each end is entered the Crown-court, 55 feet by 50, on he south side ; and the Civil-court, 53 feet by 50, on the north. Next receding from the great ball, and behind each court. is a retiring room for the judges ; at the extreme end of the north part of the building is a hall and staircase, with a semi-circular end ; at the south end is the portico, hall, and staircase leading to a grand jury room, and offices connected, therewith, on either side of the Crown Court. On this floor, and on either side of the Great Hall, is a ttiforium or gallery, from which a splendid view of the Hall is obtained. On this level, over the east entrance, the organ is intended to be placed, between two of 24 red and grey polished granite columns and pedestals of the Corinthian order— with bronze capitals—which surround the Great Hall. An arched-segment of the ceiling of the hall, which is rather more than a semi -circle, is constructed with hollow wedge-shaped tiles or bricks which have a perforation, two inches diameter, through their greatest length. They are lighter, cheaper, and more useful (for purposes of ven tilation especially) than solid bricks. They were intro duced here by Mr. Robert Rawlinson, and answer ex ceedingly well for the purpose intended. There is an out side trussed roof of timber over this arch. Light is ob tained through windows between the columns on the west side and an arched light at each end above the other por tion of the buildings. The Concert-hall, capable of accommodating 1,200 auditors, is at the extreme north end, and the hall and staircase leading up to it is entered by three small doorways, in the semi-circular end at Shaw's brow. On a level with this concert-room is a pro menade, surrounded with Grecian Doric columns. The Assize -courts, which are lighted from the top, have coved ceilings of very good design, perforated for ventila tion, and surrounded by polished granite columns, resting on square pedestals, with capitals of plaster of Paris; the ornamentation of these capitals does not exactly correspond with the other parts of the enrichment, which are Grecian; they appear too shallow and clumsy. The barristers', witnesses', and othe r rooms connected with the courts are separated by a corridor on each side. On the west side is a van passage extending from Shaw's brow to St. John's-lane, for the conveyance of prisoners for trial. On the floors below the principal one are kitchens, store-rooms, keepers offices, cells, &c. ; also warming and ventilating apparatus, which is expected to be very efficient. It is heated by water, on Dr. Reid's system ; and it is to be hoped the comfort felt will compensate ill- the alteration made to carry out properly the ideas of Dr. Reid. The brickwork is set in Halkin Mountain mortar. Most of the exterior of the building is of Darley Dale stone, from Stancliff Quarry. This stone has long been held in high estima , ion, and is perhaps regarded by geo logists as a stone less susceptible of atmospheric influence than any other in the kingdom.

The four pillars which stood in the centre of the floor, at the junction of the old and new portions of the Exchange, were removed, and the roof of that portion of the building was thrown into a circular form. At the upper end of the building was erected a dais and throne, The design and exe cution of the upholstery work were of the most chaste and elaborate description.

The canopy was lined with white satin, divided into panels by gold-coloured silk trellis work. The curtains were of rich satin damask, in crimson and gold, with a deep satin border of corresponding colours, trimmed with a deep silk brilliant fringe, and lined throughout with French white silk. In the border was introduced the rose, sham rock, and thistle. The exterior drapery of the throne was of rich crimson Genoa velvet, with enrichments of London gold silk, and lined with Royal blue satin. The centre of this was formed into an heraldic mantle, upon which the Royal arms were introduced, with the palm branches spreading from each side, and surrounded by the star of Brunswick:; the whole was richly embroidered in gold-coloured silk. The interior drapery of the throne was Royal blue satin, richly trimmed with London gold silk, and on this was introduced, on both sides, the crown worked on gold, and raised from the Royal blue drapery. Both the interior drapery and the curtains fell upon a screen or background of white and gold satin. The dais was covered with a splendid carpet in velvet, upon a white ground with handsome border, en suite terminating with a fringe, overhanging the front step. There was also a carpet laid down in the centre of the room, over which her Majesty passed to the throne. The ground was deep blue, figured with a composite pattern, somewhat like a Tudor rosy. There were four breadths, with an appropriate border on each side, covering a space of 12 feet 8 inches wide. There were also retiring-rooms for her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the Royal children, superbly furnished. Accommodation was also provided on the throne for Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal. The decorations of the Queen's retiring-room, which were near the entrance of the hall, were furnished with remarkable taste. The toilet-table was richly ornamented with pearl-coloured satin and silk gimp, with stars of white and gold. Upon this swung a toilet-glass in a rich frame, en,suite, with gilt vases on each side, containing exotic flowers. The chair was of a gondola shape, upholstered in blue satin, and stuffed, with a down pillow of the same material for the back, bearing on it the crown in silk velvet of the requisite colours—gold, crimson, and green, with real pearls—properly disposed. The effect of this embroidery was rich in the extreme. The footstool to this chair was of Royal blue Genoa velvet, with the national emblems embroidered. An ottoman of blue satin, "woolsack stuffed," was characterised by the inviting softness of its form ; and two occasional chairs, for the use of her Majesty's ladies, for the elegance of their forms, and the richness of their appearance. There was a small occasional table of the lightest form, the stem being a combination of wate r lily leaves andflowers; on this a bowl of scented water was placed for her Mujesty's use. The furniture of the Prince's room corresponded as to the number and character of the articles, and to the general ornamentation, but differed slightly in shape. Both suites were exceedingly rich in appearance. All the material was of Manchester manufacture, except perhaps the lace. Along either side of this large and lofty department were ranged rows of seats, covered with crimson cloth, and numbered to correspond with the tickets issued. The whole was completely filled with the youth and beauty of the district; and her Majesty, who is known to be very observant on these occasions, must have been struck with the unrivalled display of the proverbial fascinations of the fair " Lancashire Witches," which the hall presented. A row of banners depended from the ceiling, bearing the devices and arms of the various towns and boroughs of the district. The number of persons who obtained admission to the Exchange was ebout 2600; and the arrangements were such, that there was neither crowding or inconveni ence, all parties readily obtaining access to the places indicated on their cards of admission. At the back of the ' throne an orchestra was erected, in which'the hand of the Lancers were stationed, and a body of choristers, under the direction of Mr. Harris, organist of the cathedral, were placed on the right of the band. The members of the corporation of Manchester entered the -ball shortly after twelve o'clock ; and this being an intimation that her Majesty might shortly be expected, the event excited lively demonstrations of interest. With the exception of two or three, all the members wore their, new scarlet robes of office, trimmed with fur, the common councilmen being attired in the purple robes by which they are usually distinguished. The names of two of the aldermen who appeared in plain dress, as representatives of the pure,democracy of Manchester, are, we understand, Mr. Walter Clarke and Mr. Abel Heywood. The, muni cipal authorities grouped themselves at the foot of the dais, to await the approach of her Majesty •, but attention was soon diverted from the brilliant assemblage of corpo rate senators by the entry of the Duke of Wellington, conducting, the Countess of Ellesmere, followed by the Earl of Ellesmere , Earl of C ar li s l e , and other distinguished personages. It was difficult for the company to comply with the appeal made to them a few momenta previously by the town-clerk toabstain from a ll c h eer i ng and applause un til a f ter th e presentation of the address and reply, The AND ASSIZE COURTS. landing, lish Arts and Prod .iuvancing to meet tht. Science holds the torch and guides the car, am. _ at her side. Behind are the plough, the spindle, and the bee-hive—the peasant and his child forming a group to represent the domesticity of England. Beyond is Metallurgy, the fabric of arms and machinery, which she knows so well how to use." There is a large doorway from this portico, opening into the South Hall, with lonic columns, opposite which is a marble statue of George Stephenson, Esq., C.E. : it is executed by Mr. J. Gibson, of Rome, and is in a sit ting posture, resting on a pedestal. It was presented by the GCand Junction Railway Company. The eastern facade, about 400 feet long, fronting Lime street, presents a prostylar portico, about 200 feet long, of sixteen close.set columns. From this portico access is gained to the Great Hall by three doorways. On each side of these ara pedestals for six statues. 'The soffit or ceiling of this portico is also trabeated or divided in plain sunk panels. The cymatium of this portion of the prin cipal cornice has sculptured lion-heads, in addition, over each column and intercolumn. On each side, recessed, are five square columns ; a panelled screen of stonework, with cornice, &c., is carried up between each of these pillars, forming pedestals for statues in stone ; it will add much to the beauty of the building when these are in their places, and it is to be hoped that Liverpool artists may have a chance afforded them of exercising their abilities upon them. Round the exterior of the circular wall of the Concert hall are six engaged columns, between which are windows to light the promenade. The roof of the; Great Hall, being carried higher than foreigr the rest, forms arr attic of great beauty, which serves to destr.)y the appearance of flatness, which would be the result of having a continued level sky-line from one end to the other. During the assizes this spacious ball will be open to the public as the approach to both the courts. At other times it will be appropriated, at the discretion of the coun cil, to nubile or private meetings. The Great Hail, which is in an unfinished state, is a magnificent room, and, if painted and decorated with a proper regard to circa, it will be unrivalled. It will re. quire a very light ground to relieve the granite columns and gilding properly disposed. In every part, especially of the exterior, the architect seems to have deeply studied the esthetic principles of the art in which he excelled. The followi»z is a plan of the building : _ _ _ .....=...,_.. 1 _ /117s7;:rs 111.1.1•11.5E111•1--AlEMI— , i COURT LIBRARY 1.0.... —..L. L— :CHAN R r , DUCHY.CT e 'CI 1T 7 q,) .

The sleeves have broad turnedback cuffs, with under sleeves of cambric, fastened round the wrist by a band of Eng work. We have noticed at an evening party two young ladies in white organdi with graduated tucks to the waist. The half high body drawn at the waist and spreading over the chest with a narrow lace plated flat round the top. Short sleeves showing a second small sleeve, edged with a lace to match that on the body. The coiffure was two branches of white coral, fastened behind at the nape of Ha neck, and falling over the shoulder. This coiffure is exceedingly pretty with black hair. A white taffetas scarf with deep fringe syas thrown carelessly over the shoulders. Swedish leather, half long gloves, black velvet bracelets with floating ends, a Marie Therive pocket handker chief, with bouquets of lilies and roses splendidly embroidered, enhanced the good taste of this elegant toilette. Another dress was of pink taffetas (Mane, with 'wreaths of lilies. Open body ala Louis XV. ' with crossings of fluted pink ribbon, accompanied by a berth of Alencon of a new shape. This berth, after covering the back, and a part of the sleeves, is sloped heart fashion to the waist; it then t uns round the waist increasing width behind, forming a rich basquine, and falling gracefully over the plaits of the skirt. This novelty is called berthe ehhtelaine. The coiffure was a branch of half opened lilies, fastened by a pin of pearls and emeralds forming a lily. Lord John Russell arrived at his residence in Chatham place on Friday evenine, from Rhyl, North Wales. The marriage of Lord Brooke, M.P., with the Hon. Miss Charteris, daughter of Lord Elcho, is fixed to take place in February next. The Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P.. has arrived in Paris with his family, on his way to the south of France, where it is said that he proposes to pass a part of the winter. We have to record the death of three noblemen, Vis count Bollingbroke, and Lords Stafford and Calthorpe. The latter expired a few days since at Lyons, in his 64th year. The deceased never married. He is now succeeded by his brother, the Hon. Frederick Gough, born 1790, and who married, in 1823, Lady Charlotte Sophia Somer set, daughter of the sixth Duke of Beaufort, by whom he has had issue several children. The decease of Viscount Bolingbroke took place, on Wednesday last, at the resi dence of his daughter, the Hon. Mrs. Shaw, near Elgin. The dec eased, Henry St. John, fourth Viscount Bolling broke and fifth Viscount St. John, was horn in March, 1786, and succeeded to the titles on the death of his father, in 1824. In 1812 he married Maria, daughter of Sir Henry St. John Mildmay, who died in 1836. His eldest son, Henry St. John, who succeeds him as fifth Viscount Bo lingbroke and sixth Viscount St. John, was born in 1820. Lord Stafford died at Hampton-court, on Saturday, in his 81st year. George William Stafford Jerningham, the deceased peer, succeeded his father as s even th b aronet i n 1809, and succeeded in establishing his right to the ancient barony of Stafford, after the reversal, in 1824, of the at tainder of the unfortunate Sir 'William Howard Viscount Stafford, beheaded in 1678. His lordship assumed, in 1826, the additional surname of Stafford. He is succeeded by his eldest son, Henry Valentine, now Baron Stafford, who is married to a niece of the Duke of Norfolk. Atoilette of an opposite character is a robe of very fine mus lin, with a double skirt worn over an under one of straw coloured taffetas; the musli❑ is embroidery in rich designs. The bottom of the skirts are cut in festoons, so disposed as to show a bouquet on each scollop. On the edge a frill of points d' Angleterre is slightly gathered. The under skirt is embroi dered at the bottom. There is a double body to this robe, the one half high and covered with embroidery, forms a canezpu. The other is low with a double berthe of English lace. This herthe descends in front like the Marie Antoinette, fastened with straw-coloured taffetas ribbon. As a contrast to these rich dresses, a redingote of grey coutil, destined for country promenades : plain skirt body buttoned up the front, with liasquines ; the large loose sleeves as well as the basquines are trimmel with three rows of narrow braid, of rather a deeper shade than the dress. STEAM TO THE BRAZILS FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER. (From "Le Pallet.") Black tecomes indispensable in the toilettes of ladies of fashion; not as formerly, when it was exclusively reserved for days of mourning. A black dress does not now interfere with the robes of varied colours, and the materials are rich and in good taste. Indeed, the trimmings worn with black give it equal elegance and distinction. Jet, in fringes or lace, is worn with all materials. Upon moire and satin, deep flounces of Chantilly or ruches of lace placed en tablier are much worn. Taffetas flounces are cut and stamped in patterns, or covered with narrow velvets imitating embroidery. We have seen some beautiful robes in barege or black grenadine, with three or seven flounces scolloped and embroidered. Some have a narrow trimming over the flounces of jet, so delicately worked as not to give the slightest heaviness or weight to the dress. The bodies were half high, or open in front in the canezous form, and trimmed with lace mixed with light ornaments in jet. The same trimming ornaments the bottom of the half pagodes sleeves. A redingote of taffetas, with broad grey and black stripes, with narrow black satin stripes forming checks, is ex ceedingly pretty; the body plain, sleeves a la Grecque open to the elbow, with crossings of black velvet, and three bows of the same; a broad black velvet sash tied in front; the ends reach the knees, where there is another bow, and then descend to the bottom of the dress. The skirt is open over a magnificent pet ticoat, embroidered to match the under sleeves and chemisette. A capeline of Swiss straw, trimmed with bunches of blackber ries outside, and the same inside, mixed with straw ornaments, and coques of black velvet ribbon, with long ends floating over the shoulders. A small black taffetas mantelet, with an open worked galon of jet and silk, and jet fringe, more than a guar- ter of a yard deep. - In our advertising columns will be found an announce ment of the completion of arrangementslfor carrying our the steam trading company hence to Brazil, of which we lately noticed the incorporation by Royal charter When we look at the rapid strides of this new element of out commercial greatness, at the almost certainty of a large portion of our trade being carried on through the medium of screw steamers, and notice the departure and arrival of steamers of all kinds, full of passengers and cargo, and with large amounts of specie, it must be a subject of con gratulation to find that such a company as the South American and General Steam Navigation Company is to be forthwith started from the river Mersey. All lukewarm ness on this important subject ought pew to be at an end, for it is the interest of every mercantile man, tradesman, artisan, hotel-keeper, or railway shareholder, to success fully develope steam navigation from this port ; and though we take to ourselves some credit for our advocacy of this qcestion, our only desire is to draw attention towards it, and, by so doing, prevent ourselves from being beaten in the race with other competing ports where the location of transatlantic steamers is fully appreciated. We can have little doubt of the success of this company when we look to the respectability and well-known energy of its promoters and directors, and when we ' see what is passing around us • for, thou g h unsu b s idi ze d by a government con t ract, such a 'company will hale all the elements of legitimate trade to back it; and if we had any doubts on this point, the following extract, dated Southampton, 9th Oct., would at once remove them : " The Royal Mail steam-ship Teviot, Capt. R. Revett, sailed this afternoon at three o'clock, with the usual monthly mails for Brazil, Ike. The Teviot takes out 106 passengers, also a large and valuable cargo of manufac tured goods for the Brazil ports, and specie value £115,000. So great was the demand for freight room by the Teviot that a considerable quantity of cargo had to be shut out, and remains behind, from inability to store it in the vessel." We believe we may ndd, that the next monthly steamer is already in the same position as the Teviot ; and that the homeward steamer, now about due, is quite full • of passengers and merchandise.—Lirerpool Albion. A half mourning toilette, was composed of a robe of violet coloured taffetas d' Italie with four flounces; the edge of each flounce bad a ribbon, checked with velvet ; the body was open, and had a small chafe cape fastened with the same ribbon ; the bottom of the sleeves, which were cut square, and open to the elbow, were trimmed to match. This opening was crossed with bows with floating ends. The under sleeves were of very clear muslin, with large bouquets, embroidered in satin-stitch, drawn at the wrist into a worked wristband, finished with two rows of lace. The chemisette matched. A scarf mantille of white grenadine, embroidered in silk, and trimmed with a very deep fringe. A beautiful bonnet composed of bouillonnea of tulle, and narrow white gauze ribinn, drawn at one edge, trimmed with a long branch of water !flies. The straw coloured gloves were fastened by a double emerald button. A rob of green taffetas, in with five flounces trimmed with a wreath ; e lllies embroidered white silk. The flowers disposed so as to form scollops, giving the effect of suspended wreaths at the edge of flounces The body open:; square in front over an echelle of narrow garnitures; a eazateeek of white taffetas entirely covered with an embroidery of silk and jet, edged with a Turkish fringe. A g auze ribbon and blonde b onnet, tr i mmed with marabout rings forming a hanging chain. An oriental handkerchief completes this elegant toilette. An admired dinner dress is composed of white taffetas chine, With pink and brown. and covered with atm. , bouquets of dai sies. The three flounces are edged with tfire rows of narrow ribbon, of pink, brown, and white placed in threes; three rows of the same form a ruche round the basquines, the sleeves at e trimmed to match, the body is open to the waist, trimmed with threefordages.bows, showing between each a gnimpe of valen ciennes, and embroidered insertion ; half pagode under sleeves to match. A inorning walking 4ress of grey caul,' de eoie, the baquines trimmed with blue and grey fluted ribbon. The skirt is simply trimmed with twelve graduated flounces. The front of the body is open, shoring the small blue taffetas waistcoat, big. CURIOUS ):'BREAK.—Amongst the arrivals at Plymouth on Saturday week was a skiff of about 22 feet in length, 3 feet in breadth; and about the same depth, in which an eccen tric and adventurous individual had started from London a fortnight previously. and has rowed all the distance to Plymouth,! skirting the coast and taking shelter each night in that harbour to which be happened to be the nearest. The boat was supplied vt ith a pair of skulls and a small square sail, which from the manner in which it was set, could only be serviceable when the wind was fair, or nearly so. Rumour states it to be in consequence of a bet, but no information could he obtained from the party himself, who left Plymouth by land for the north of Devon, having arranged for his skiff to be taken round by water to Newport, from whence, no doubt, he will start on a similar voyage of inspection on the Welsh coast. .—Ship. pinp Oaze.fts. • report on the stone for the Houses of Parliament as com posed 9 0.36 Carbon of lime .36 Iron alumina 1.30 Water and loss ........ - ------- WAR OFFICE, Sept. 30.-3rd Regt.
