A NEW ORDER OF KNIGHTHOOD.—We believe we are
justified in announcing that an important addition to the
prerogatives of the Crown will shortly be made by the
institution of a new order of knighthood by her Majesty
as Queen of the Indies. That this exercise of the
Royal prerogatiie will be received with the greatest
satisfaction by all classes of her Majesty's subjects
there can be no doubt. England has its Garter,
Scotland its St. Andrew, Ireland its St. Patrick, even
the lonian Islands its St. Michael and St. George,
and 'the magnificent empire of India will now
have under the sovereignty of the Queen its Eastern
order, with some appropriate Indian attribute.
We are not aware that all the rules and institutes of the
order are complete; but we believe they will be so
framed that the native. Indian subjects of her Majesty
and her European subjects serving in that empire will
be united in one common bond, as knights of the same
order. The institution of au order of chivalry with
such an object will have a most beneficial, political, and
social effect. It will also tend to check the accumulation
of Indian medals in our military service, which were in
consequence losing something of their importance. Sir
Charles Wood, Secretary of State for India, it is under-
stood, received her Majesty's final commands on this
subject during his recent visit to Windsor Castle.
Court urt Journal.

LIBERALITY OF THE RETIRING MAYOR.—We are
glad to hear that our worthy Mayor, who has gained
for himself the universal esteem of all parties during
his mayoralty, has, on the eve of his retirement, hand-
somely contributed the sum'of £lOO to the funds of the
Northern Hospital, a chsxity which, at the present
time, stands in so much need of public support.
COUNTY MAGISTRATES' COURT.—At the County Police
Court yesterday, before Messrs. Bourne and Brocklebank,
presiding magistrates, a dock labourer, named William
Cheetham, was brought up in custody, charged with
stealing a valuable golden pheasant, the property of
Henry Hough, of Bootle. The prosecutor failed to
identify the stolen fowl, and the prisoner was discharged
with a reprimand.
THE IRISH BRIGADE IN DUBLIN.—About three
hundred members of the brigade arrived in Dublin on
Friday night by special train from Cork. At the
Kingsbridge terminus they were addressed in con-
gratulatory terms by the Rev. Canon Pope, who was in
attendance to receive them on the part of the central
committee in Dublin. They afterwards dispersed in
groups of tens and twenties to the various Lodging=
houses and taverns in the neighbourhood. Yesterday
numbers of them paraded the principal streets, with
green leaves in their caps, and followed by crowds_
" gents" and boys, who cheered them enthusiastically.
Some of them wore medals on their breasts, and their
costume was of the most medley and nondescript
character. Several of them attended mass at the Roman
Catholic Church, Marlborough-street, where a sermon
was preached by Dr. Cullen.
ExcURSION.—The well known bootmakers in William-
son-square, Messrs. Blakey, Yesterday gave their work-
people, a treat, in celebration of St. Crispin, at the
Abbey Hotel, Broad-green. After football, bowls, and
other games,.the men sat down to a most substantial
dinner, which was served up by Mr. Childs, the pro-
prietor, in his best style. The party were conveyed to
the place of meeting in one of Mr. Dilworth's omnibuses,
drawn by four horses, and a band of music accompanying
them. The weather being unusually favourable for the
season, the men enjoyed themselves in no common
degree. It was, we understand, the 9th anniversary
of the copartnery of Messrs. Blakey.
ART A LA. JAPANESE.—Mrs. Pattison teaches a new
and much improved system of drawing and painting
from nature as taught in London and Paris,—a most
delightful and easily-acquired accomplishment, especially
for ladies. Drawing and painting from nature taught
in six lessons. These accomplishments, formerly so
difficult in acquirement, and demanding more time than
persons generally could bestow on them, are, by the
present system, rendered so easy in a short time, as to
excite the surprise and pleasure of the pupil. Birds,
animals, flowers, &e., either from nature or drawings,
are painted in the most beautiful and accurate style in
six lessons; and so simple and easily remembered is the
Japanese system, that the learner who has once gone
through the course is able ever afterwards to paint with
ease, rapidity, and pleasure. Nothing is more delightful
than to see a beautiful painting start as it were by
magic, after half an hour's easy labour, to grace
lady's portfolio or drawing-room ; this style is applicable
to painting on silk, satin, damask, wood, &c. ; and even
young ladies of twelve or fourteen years may accomplish
this.
