(13e 4iorthart Main TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 185.7. THE DNY'S NEWS. Mr. Bowring has been returned by a - rntority qof 31 as Town Councillor for St. Peter's Ward. Of course we were previously in a position to predict the return of Mr. Bowling, but if wo hrtd done s), the Conservative portion of the ward .world have sneered at our prognostications, and accordingly we confine ourselves to the list which we publish elsewhere. The voting on the occasion will be found in another part of to-day's impression. The London Tapers are still discussing the state of Indian affairs. 'A writer in the Times says -" Every one is waiting for every one else, and nothing comes of it. But as 150 millions of peo ple spread over vast provinces cannot alerays be governed by the legitimate result of an equation represented by zero, there are times when the Go .verner-General, over-persuaded by the Court oil if he is a weak man, over-persuading them if he has any address, or openly setting them at defiance, and snapping his fingers at Council, Board of Directors, -.Board of Control and ail, if he is obstinate and resolute. -does act. It is ou these extraordinary occasions, and in this irregnlar way, that those -acts . of Government are, performed which occasional l y astonish the . world. This is how .wars are made, States annexed, treaties concluded and rigidly suppressed, until we hear that they have been violated in every particular. Perlitnnent and the country knows nothing of -the-se things, or of the causes which led to them, undi years hove elapsed, until the Governor-General has returned, till an army has been lost or a rebel lion arises. Then we rub our eyes, make an outcry, and strive to throw the blame on some one. But, in truth, we are ourselves to blame for maintaining the farce of a double Government. For the individual acts, right or wrong, of each Governor• General, his best answer and excuse is —' Something had to be done, and, as the existing system admits of no responsibility, I had to do it on my own. If you are displeased, alter your system, but do not blame me, for you -cannot govern a great empire by a system so nicely balanced that all its elements are nonenties, and • least of all suppose that you can continue Lord • Paramount in India. if you obstinately ignore your national responeibility. 7 " It has been repeatedly staled or assumed that General Havelock has been already raised to the dignity of a for his successes in India ; such, however, we are enabled to state, is not actually the c,ise at present, though we have good grounds for believing that the public will hear of his elevation to the -Commandership of the Bath before Christmas at tho loteot. It is curiently reported that her Alajeety will be aelvised to bestow a similar distinction on Brigadier General Arehdeli -Wilson, of the Artillery, as a reward for the storm ing and capture of Delhi ; and possibly also on two or three of his brave colleagues in arms. Our readers will; no doubt, remember -that a • regular emute occurred is Corfu on the first . receipt cf the Indian news. There was an outcry against the British Government ; there was a demand for an instant abolition of the Proteetorate,, and for an union of the lonian Islands with the kingdom of Greece. These .• feelings, so far from having decreased since then,, teem on the contrary to have augmented in intensity. Exaggerated accounts of reverses of the British army in India have beeneireulated amongst the lonian people; for - them the approaching downfall of English power has been , confiiently predicted, and the glorious day which is to witness the : tte..iou of the entire Greek race, and the dispd.rition of the British Alag from the Seven Islands, has . been declared to be near ,at hand. Emissaries have been r -aeat by ;he leaders of this agitation into r Greece., and into every country where it -was supposed ;that a revolt against British power . would meet with sympathy and...support. The agents of some of the Foreignl.Powers who are resident in. Greece have given encouragement to the movement, but that encouragement is • ei;cluzively con,B.,led to them. The, Creek people have learned, bylitter expeller:4:e, the. svils•vvhich may result from setting themselves up in opposi tion to the Western Powers, and . they have rejec!ed this appeal to a Iraternat coalition as the viciors and unprincipled scheme of corrupt and designing men. No thinking Greek .believes In the sincerity of this cry for a .Uttion, even supposing such a thing to be possible, and there is no thinking Greek but is aware that .the. leaders of the ma.v.ement are ti ,ose who have the least faith in the principle they profess to _advocate. One of the great sources fi otn .which money .poured into Greece in support of the in surrection in Epirus is now open to the lonians.. And it is that money, and_that alone, whist' moves the instigators of a revolt in the Seven Islands Is it to be supposed that an lonian, with :his pretensipns to .Venetian nobility, his .Euro- Mean tastes and education, wi - ih all • the :social advantages that are to be found in a : prosperous cmatry, and under a stable and well ,organised government, would be ambitious of .becoming the istrbjeet of a bankrupt kingdom, with few resources, mid of living under the rule a ~joyerninent whieh preserves a _strong leaven of iirientalism in its fOrms and its actions ? The xefineal lonian would naturally aspire to govern, "Wile would meet with a fierm and jealous oppo sition from the natives Greek; fur the spirit which ,dietated the, law for the Autochthcnes and the lleterGebtones is an element in the national charac ter. Things, however, have of late assumed so grave a ,oharacter in the lonian Islands, that Lord Lyons has removed into the neighbourhood with 'his fleet. The Great L'astern steam ship will be launched _to-morrow, and our readers will perceive that the preparations whiah have been necessary to ensure sacs passage into the Thames for this leviathan of the deep are of a most stupendous character.. With the exception of a short speech delivered 'try Mr. Thsraeli at an agricultural association in Buckinghamshire, in 1 - vWch he said that rewards given to deserving labourers at these rt unions were not intended to be substantial, but simply bonaritic ; and a ; speech of Lord Melgund at Kinross, pointing out w,hat he considers the danger of attempting to govern India direct from England, there is little to notice in domestic affairs. The Michaelmas Law Term was duly inaugu• rated yesterday, by the bar breakfasting with the Lord Chancellor The Lord Mayor of London elect, Sir It Carden, *was presented, according to eustom, to his lordship at Westminster, and her Majosty's aoncurrepge in the choice of the citizens was erp reaPe d • Do Saqvi, eonvieed the other day of - ugh ter, by slabbing Mr. Robertson in the Queen's Bench prison, was brought up f2r sentence yester day. The sentence merely repeated that pro nounced on the former conviction—fifteen years' penal servitude—to commence, however, from the date of the second conviction. It is 'rumoured that Sir Alexander Cockburn, Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, will be raised to the Peerage forthwith, and that a similar honour is in store for Mr. Justice Cresswell, who is entitled to a retiring pension on account of length of service. The Government, it is said, are impressed with the importance of adding to the number of Law Lords, and hence the proposed eleyation s. The tax on knowledge, in the shape of a news paper stamp, has just been re-established in Austria. If the Paris correspondent of the New Prussian Gazette speak the truth, we have to make a very startling announcement to our readers, nante,ly, that in the month of June of this year a convention was entered into between the Austrian Government and that of the Queen of Great Britain, to the effect that in case of a revolutionary outbreak in Italy, Austria may rely for the protection of her dotninions on the friendly services of Great Britain Of course we shall refuse to give credence to a piece of news of this kind until it come to us in an official shape. We may notice, that on our going to Press the French Mail had not reached us, consequently we are rather short of Continental news. Tar present recess has been most remarkable for the number and variety of orations delivered upon the Indian mutiny. Peers and Commoners have alike commented upon the disasters -which have taken place—yea, even net a few of the Cabinet Ministers, and some of the East India Directors, haVe "had their say," and enlightened us upon the origin, and its cause, of the rebel lion in Bengal. Among the more recent of these speeches is that of no less a personage than the Right Honourable the Secretary of the Colonies . . When Mr. WILLOUGHBY, one of the Directors of the East India Company, addressed his con stituents on the subject, he took occasion to show that he was very unfortunate in giving the public any real insight into what caused the mutiny. Mr. L ABOUCH ÜBE, in his speech, the other day, was less discreet, for he acknowledged that the Indian authorities permitted themselves to be taken by surprise, - and that otherwise a mere handful of English soldiers would not have been permitted for months to struggle against a numerous and a ferocious race like the Sepoys. This is an admission which Lord CANNING, and his adherents in the Ministry, will not thank the Right Honourable Gentleman for publishing. But whatever the Cabinet may think of the can dour of their colleague, he only spoke the senti ments of the country at large when he made the declaration alluded to. We have already remarked that, in British India itself, the conduct of Lord CANNING was viewed with absolute alarm by every one who had the least knowledge of passing events, and the general character of the infuriated Sepoys. his first defalcation, as Governor-General, was to wink at the premoni tory symptoms of anarchy, cruelty, and rebellion, and of which he was fully apprised ; and the last reprehensible step of his government was that to which we alluded on Friday—taking part with the mutineers, tind vu s• thcm fi um that PSI punishment to which their barbarous and disloyal deeds entitled them. The past history of Eng land in India does not supply a parallel to the unpardonable position taken up by Lord CAN NING, when he issued his never-to-be-forgotten instructions regarding the treatment to Sepoy prisoners, and when he virtually sympathised with the native agents of NANA SAHIB, now appropriately designated the " black butcher of Cawnpore." it is painful in the extreme to read the state ments contained in private letters which every post and mail brings to England, but which, from the brutalities they contain, are unfit for publica tion. These letters too, be it observed, contain denunciations of the strongest character against the Governor-General and his supreme council at Calcutta. But let us give instances which corrobOrate these statements. Three unim peachable servants, Messrs. Palmer, Sandys, and Irving, who rendered valuable services to avenge the barbarous and cruel attro cities at Camn i nore, have been Slighted for their daring and courage, and it is said that Viscount ELPaINSTONE was shocked at the cruelty they:inflicted upon the assassins of innocent and defenceless English ladies. Oae of the ferocious Sepoys, seized the daughter of one of our brave captains, and placed her on the edge of a marble basin,and then proceeds to open slowly the veins in her limbs, throat, and bosom, l and dies the water with her blood. The inhu man monster is caught in the act, and before his captors inflict upon him the penalty of the brutal murderer, they indignantly drenched his head in the fountain so fearfully stained. This so shocked the sensibilities of the authorities at Calcutta, that Mr. GRANT, as we mentioned on Friday, gave orders, by and with the consent of Lord CANNING, to release 150 prisoners taken at Cawnpore, a proceeding which is undefensible on any grounds. Lord ELLENBORQUGH, no mean authority on Indian affairs, has emphatically declared that, cost what it m the rebellion must be put down, and signal punishment inflicted upon every rebel who has cmantenaneed the late movemnit of the Sepoys. Lord BROUGHAM, at Penrith, with that force and vigour for which he is renowned, has given it as his opinion that severe punishment is needed, that retribution is al:nost a matter of course, and that justice must take precedence of mercy. Such is not the course adopted by Lord CANNING and those under his control and direction, If . anything were wanted to prove that the civil and military authorities in India are just now at complete variance, it would be found in the fact that Lord CANNING is a complete and heavy drag upon Sir COLIN CAMPBELL, that Mr. GEA.NT THE NORTHERN TIMES.-LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1857 thwarts the operations or General NEIL, and that certain spaniel-like 'officials of Government Ilow.se encourage the Governor-General to pursue his policy of feeble i.nterference. What is the consequence ? The success of England is retarded, and the mutineers enabled to carry on their career of iniquity and bloodshed. This o f itseif was bad enough, but some strange stories come from Delhi touching the anxiety of the noble Viscount for the escape of the mutineers. We do not place implicit reliance on all that is said and written against a nobleman holding the high and responsible position which Lord CANNING now occupies. Nevertheless, there seems to be an air of truth about the matter to which we allude. It is reported that General WILSON had tele graphed to Lord CANNING that he was ready to capture Delhi on any day, and at any hour ; but that a few reinforcements would enable him to occupy the lines of retreat, and leave not a rebel alive. The answer was that he should attack as soon as possible; from this it is argued that Lord CANNING desired the Sepoys to effect their escape. What has since occurred, has shown that the great m:jority of the mutineers made good their retreat. But we must blame the Governor-General for that unfortunate circum stance, seeing that the final assault on, and capture of; Delhi, was not one of his planning. It rests with generals who commanded our victorious army on the occasion, to explain how it was that the retreat of the enemy was not cut off, and the entire Of the rebel army put to the sword as an example—terrible, but effective to others—to be ware of such treachery to the Crown of England, and unheard-of brutalities upon our defenceless daughters and their helpless offspring. If, then, the present Government of India is so supine in the hour of danger, and favour more than anything else the base designs of these rebellious Bengal tigers ; if he cringes to their base, bloody and brutal designs, at a time when he should be ex ercising all the power and might of his office to crush and extirpate these race of bloodhounds, surely he is incompetent to rule the destinies of England. His rule will not tranquilise India. It cannot suppress rebellion; hence we think that the country should make a loud and universal demand for his recal, if Ministers are so blind and obstinate as to tolerate his continuance in office a single hour beyond- . the earliest moment his successor can reach Calcutta. ST. Peter's and St. Anne's Wards were carried, yesterday, with a spirit that does honour to their Liberal Burgesses. The Car ruptionists must see, by these triumphs, and by the victory won in Lime-street Ward last year, that wherever the Liberals make up their mind to carry an election, they can do it, against all odds. This fact should not be thrown away upon Municipal Reformers. They have a majority of votes on Hi= rorpnrate registry; and all that is needed to carry a general, or Borough contest, is timely organi sation, an active canvass, and exertion, in bringing up voters to the poll. That we have a large majority of Liberal voters in Liverpool, and are still represented by a Corruptionist majo rity, is an anomaly which can scarcely be explained. The moral effect yesterday's - polling will have on certain., Liberal members of the Council must, however, be of considerable advan tage to the town. It removes all doubt as to the rapid growth of the Reform spirit of the times. We advert to these subjects with great gravity, feeling convinced that the well-being of every community mainly depends on the faithful charge of the public duties entrusted to .the citizen. There are biasses and weaknesses in the human mind which require correction, and which cannot be countenanced without leading to those unfortunate sequences which assume such formidable dimensions in the balance-sheet of this Borough. • Such consequences invariably follow a lax of the Constitutional suffrage bestowed upon a people. Those who have the power of correcting abuses are the very, persons who are generally the loudest in declaiming against the result of their own neglect. We, for instance, give expression to the sentiments and feel ings 'of a large majority of the Liberal Burgesses, who complain aloud of that which they themselves have the power of remov ing once M every twelve months. But in holding up the errors of the past, and the dangers of the future, good service is done to the cause of Municipal Reform. Nor should it be forgotten, that the Liberal Electors have been fur years the victims ,of the most decoying > cajolery and de signing cant; and it is hard fo'r men'of generous and confiding dispositions, to resist such - crafty influences; hilt we repeat that the present posi tion of our corporate affairs forces the necessity of speedy Reforth on the mind of every man interested in the welfare of the trade and town of Liverpool. We won two .of the strong holds of corruption at yesterday's election ; and we can do vastly more next year, by a longer and a stronger pull altogether. The last two contests have shown us that " where there is a will there is a way." Next November we must not be found as we were yesterday. Each Ward must have its Liberal candidate, and we must have a Borough contest. We may, however, rest satis fied with our triumphs for the present; and we only regret, that a sense of public duty should have compelled us to oppose Mr.Harmood Banner's return for St. Peter's Ward. But we beg to .assure that gentleman and his supporters, that we only wish that we may have an opportunity of meeting them on some other arena, where our humble services can be given to promote their cause. That section of the Burgesses whose opinions we advocate, will freely unite with us in expressing their high respect for Mr. BANNER, and those who would wish to see him with a seat in the Council. To Mr. BOWRING and his friends, great praise is due for the manner in which they directed the contest. It was purely a Municipal Election, and the moderation with which it was conducted reflects great credit on both parties. In other Wards there was more noise and bustle, but not so much of that cool determina tion which is the secret of success on such occasions. Still, the good intention was with all, and with a little prudent organisation, a much longer list of winners may be relied on. And, as one Liberal in the Council is quite equal in popular influence to five Corruptionists, we have every reason to be satisfied with what has been done. It is astonishing what three or four good working hands can do in stripping slates off a falling house, and in clearing away the debris. There are not so many men on the Corruptionists' side of the Chamber, who can be expected to stand against the reinforcements. small as they are, which are joining the Liberal ranks. The majority find themselves becoming "small by degrees," and, with a little additional exertion, they may be made "beautifully less." We make these remarks in perfect s ip od temper, as we hope they will be received. If we cannot " bray," the lambs have no reason to " bleat." They are not the better for shearing at this inclement season of the year, and we are sorry that, when we see them dropping their fleece, we cannot promise to temper the political blast to shorn innocence. We will, however, share with them the cloak of charity, and allow them to browse in peace on their favourite common until next November, when they will again hear the call of " Wolf ! wolf !" but not with the well known fabulous result. The Liberal Electors now feel their strength, and they will use it ; and, in the language of 'Change, we may say, " Cant is at a discount "--and, " Hypocrisy is not worth quoting." " There is no operating in a market so depressed." We therefore take our leave of this branch of the Municipal business, and will bestow our best attention on others, in which the interests of the Ratepayers and inhabitants of Liverpool generally, are deeply involved. THE ELECTION OP 1857. [COMMUNICATED.] THE noise, the bustle, the tumult of the Election is over. Among the things that have been is the polling of 1857, and the chief of the demons of party spirit is laid for another twelve months. But, while the debris of the excite ment lasts, the Poll becomes a matter of as much interest as though the public were general propri etors of an unlimited number of barhorQ' shorcz ; whilst the state of the Poll —or, from the number of them, we may call them Poles—could not be more inquired after, were our nation more iden tified with the country of KOSSUTH. In St. Peter's Ward the contest was sharp and spirited. This Ward was originally called St. Peter's, not after the church, but after the Saint himself, who is generally represented with a quantity of keys: it was thought necessary to present him with a Ward to match his keys. Party feeling ran very high here, and evinced a great deal of testiness on several occasions; but the chief test of its testiness lay in the contest. The retiring candidate was Mr- H. BANNER, a Banner, whom we fear is hardly up to the standard of municipal qualification,; but during the election, the exertions of Mr. BANNER'S friends did not at all flag, and four o'clock found him in a minority of but thirty one. The successful 'candidate is Mr. C. T. BOwRING, whose gratulatory bow, when he ad dressed the electors, probably went far to (w)ring his opponent's heart. There was no opposition for Castle•street Ward ; and the Liberal candidate, who offered himself, was Mr. RYLEY, who •would, perhaps, • have been riled, had he no . ; been returned. This gentleman did not issue an address to the elec tors personally, but to Mr. CROSFIELD, the chairman of the committee. This, however, not with any motive to cut the electors, although some people might consider, that to take a Oros field thus involves a short cut. Mr. McGufFrE, the representative of St. Paul's, was this year opposed by Mr. BARTON, the well-known coal merchant, whose tons have adorned many a bar, and who has had several dealings with grate men. Mr. BARTON, how ever, was not hauled " over the coals," although the excitement during . polling was rather slack. He was ultimately returned by a small majority . In the Exchange Ward the retiring member, Mr. LITTLEDALE, again stood for election. We do not entirely participate in the notions of a costeraionger of our acquaintance, who once ob served, " The gemmen wos well called Little. dale, cos he was of sich small walley"—meaning, probably, " value." Nor do we totally accept the dogmata of our milkman, who avers, that " atween two h-ills he sh)uld allus choose a Little-dale." But though we look upon this gentleman as decidedly a " nice young man for a small tea-party," we forbear our political opinion on this occasion. We are pleased with the result in St. Anne's Ward. Mr. C . LEGG, though from having mixed with public affairs to a large extent, he decidedly is a worthy member of the bar, is hardly qualified to represent the interest of St. Anne's Ward in Council; and we trust, that he will in future confine himself to his bar, even as the Electors have stuck to their KITCHEN. In the North Toxteth direction, we cannot help sympathising with Mr. AVISON, that he should have-his-sun of triumph dimmed by a rival orb, even by Mr. VERNON, who, as his supporters a-ver,-none could conquer. And we likewise hope that Mr. SAVAGE, of Vauxhall, will not be rendered more savage by his defeat, nor that he will conduct himself at all in a barbarous manner. But, of all the candidates, against or for whom candid(h)ate or support has been excited, most of them have pledged themselves against the Pike water. The deliberations of next year, it is trusted, will lead the water question into a new channel; and, though " promises and pie crust are" proverbially "made to be broken," we sincerely hope that the promises in the present instance may not be broken, and that the Pike Rust may. LXCTURE ON INDIA. TN NOTTING3A3I.-0/1 Wednesday evening, the Rev, Arthur O'Neil, of Birmingham, de livered a lecture on our position in Iddia, in the Mechanics' NAtingleam, to a crowded :tudience. He denounced our annexation policy, the torture system, and the land tax. With regard to the latter, he said that if the poor peasant in India had his land free from the land-tax, he would grow cotton, tho mulberry tree, silk, rice, indigo, coffee, and tee, fur which he would take our manufactures, and the result would be a great prosperity to the workman , who would have a sufficient demand fur his labour to make him independent of everybody. He left the question with them, trusting they would direct their attention to India, and that there would be a bright day for India and for England. THE MONETARY CRISIS.—But what concerns us most as citizens is, that, no matter, where the panic may have had its Est origin, no matter where the original causes may have hal their birth, London must, of necessity, be come tie centr! of the entire agitation. Call it a whirlwind, and we are in the vortex, and must suffer first and most complete of any. Ragland then is rained at last ; Glas gow, Manchester, Liverpool, Leads afford but short notes of warning that the last hours of our commerce are at hand. Nonsense! nothing of the sort ! We have, it is true, a difficull to grapple with, which would render bankrupt almost any other state in E arops; but Britain, even with India on her back, has enough of her old vigour left to bear this addition d burden without sinkieg, for such things are periodical, and we gat over them, not by any elasticity or en Idea power of recovery, but the pro fundity of our resources, the slid replity of our strength, and, above all, the actual hea,lthiness of our general system of trade and commerce.—City Press. THE COURT. 'WINDSOR, Saturday.—The Queen and Piince Consort, with the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Helena, drove out yesterday afternoon. The dinner party in the evening included the Duchess of Kent. the Duchess of Cambridge, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and Princess Mary of Cambridge, the Lord Chancellor and Lady Cranworth, the Belgian Minister and Madame Van de Weyer, the Hon. Mrs• Biddulph, Mr. Millie, and Mr. Gibbs. The Queen and Prince Consort, accompanied by the Princess Royal, rode out on horseback this morning. The Prince of Wales went out shooting. The Duchess of Cambridge, and Princess ;Mary, took leave of the Queen, and left the Castle in the forenoon. The Lord Chancellor and Lady Cranworth - sic° tnok their departure. The Prince Consort went to London to-day by the South Western Railway. • His Royal Highness drove from the private station, Vauxhall, to the National Gallery, after wards visited Westminster Palace, and returned to Windsor in the afternoon. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston arrived this afternoon, and dined with the Queen in the evening. Lady Mary Hood was also invited. SUNDAY, IsT NOVEMBER.—The Queen and Prince Con_ sort, the Prince of Wales, Princess Alice, the:ladies and gentlemen of the court and the domestic household at tended Divine Service this morning in the private chapel. The Dean of Windsor officiated. Major-General Buckley. and Captain the Hon. D. de Ros hare succeeded Major_ General Bouverie and Colonel F. H. S , 3yrnour as the Equerries in Waiting to the Queen and Prince Consort. Her Majesty will hold a Privy Council on Wednesday next, the 4th inst., at Windsor Castle. . The Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Augusta Bruce, and Slr George Couver, arrived at Clarence House, St. James's oa Satur day morning. His Royal Highness returned to Feogmore in the afternoon. THE PRINCE3S ROYAL.—The announcement made by an infliential journal that the marriage of the Princess Royal and Prince Frederick will be postponed is, to say the least, premature. Much will depend upon the state of health of the King, and possibility of the Prince of Prussia visiting England, as he naturally would desire to be present at the, nuptials. We believe it was intended to have a Court celebration of the birthday of the Princess 11,3yal on the 21st of the next mouth.—Court Jouriaa'. TUE PRINCE OF WALES.--The Rhein!Anders narrate with much glee anecdotes of the sojourn of the Prince of Wales at the Drachenfels, bearing upon his insular and Britannic peculiarities. One is to the effect that the Prince one morning assembled all the juvenile flvinschnecke (Apalpeens) of the village, and offered a prize of ten thalers to the boy first at the top of the mountain—with the proviso that he (the Prince) was to be is the race. The line was arranged ; a fair start made ; when the Prince soon gave evidence of the soundness of his Inngs, and his British pluck, by distancing his dirty competitors, and was first at the summit of the Drachenfels. Though the victor, he, however, behaved like a Prince. and en riched the whole fraternity by the distribution of ten thalers amongst them.—Court Journal. A PRIVY COUNCIL.—It is expected that her Majesty will hold a Privy Council next week, when the question of a winter session of Parliament will be settled. Since the arrival of the' last mail from India announcing the success of our arms, there is no doubt that parlia ment will be simply further prorogued without the addition of those important words, " then to meet for the despatch of business." It is therefore now highly improbable that Parliament will assemble before the marriage of the Princess Royal.— Court Journal. TIRE PRESENTATION AND BANQUET TO THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE.—The most extensive and elaborate prepara tions are Leing made, under the direction and superinten dence of Mr. Bunning, for the approaching ceremonial and presentation of a gold sword by the Corporation of Lon don to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge on Wednesday next. The Guildhall is to be fitted up and decorated for the occasion, and no pains or expense will be spared to do honour to the occasion. The coup d'oeil, it is anticipated, will be magnificent. The military emblems are intended to be predominant, among the general em bellishments, in compliment to the exalted position of his Royal Highness, as head of the army. A gallery, reserved specially for ladies, will be erected at the east end of the hall ; also a dais for the aldermen and city officers, seats being specially provided in front for the ministers, am• bassadors, and the most distjngushed guests who are invited to take part in the cermony. The north and south sides of the hall will be occupied by the members of the c)mmon council, and seats for 500 spectators will be pro vided at the lower end. The east window will be adorned by a portrait of his Royal Highness, supported by the royal st'audard and fl ig of the Grenadier Guards, and the opposite Nvindow with a splendid star, together with flags, banners, t: c.
