RECEPTION BY THZ QUEEN.

Ineide the first gateway, close to St. George's-
gate, at the Castle, a long row of seats had been
provided by the Lord Steward for the accommoda-
tion of the families of the household. For those
who waited here for hours, expecting the arrival
of the long-delayed procession, there were none of
the distractions which an ever-varying and shifting
crowd affords. From time to time the crunching
of the gravelled road by heavy wheels seemed to
presage the arrival of the cornige, but time after
time expectation was disappointed as some down or
more of heavy fourgons full of luggage rolled by.
But the fortunate few who sat patiently here had
their reward in observing with what eager longing
the Queen awaited the coming of her royal
daughter. For an hour or more before dark her
Majesty, with the young Princesses Louisa and
Beatrice, was seen seated at a window immediately
above the suite of rooms occupied by the Prinoesa
Alice, and it was not until it became too dark to
note what was going on below that the group
on which all eyes were fixed retired. At last a
distant gun or two, a volley of rockets from
the lower grounds, the merry peal of Windsor
church bells, and the shouts of the crowds out-
side announced that the procession was at hand,
and in a few minutes the nodding plumes of the
Life Guards were seen approaching through the
darkness. Of the occupants of the canines little
could be seen from the Lord Steward's stand,though
it was but a few yards distant, but to a small knot
of spectators gathered under the gas-lamp at the
very entrance to the private grounds, the enthu-
siasm of whose cheers made up for the pau-
city of their number, the Princes., with not a
trace of fatigue on her beautiful countenance, bowed
her last acknowledgments. Within the gates were
ranged the children of the Queen's Own School,
from Cumberland-lodge—the girls in bright scarlet
cloaks and the boys in gray—and the shrill hurrahs
of these interesting object. of the royal bounty
were the latent sounds which rang in her royal
highness's ears. It was half-past 6 o'clock as the
procession passed under the York and Lancaster
gateway to the grand entrance. The Queen, with
the officers of the household, received her on the
grand staircase.

Saturday was not kept strictly a holiday at Man-
chester in honour of the arrival of the Princess Atezandra,
but many places of bailout were closed, including the
Stock Exchange. The warehouse were closed u anal if
the afternoon. The town presented • py end sainwied
upset all day, owing to the Mame, wasibir d
asap dis-
played. All the Undies hotels, large embus's, may
smaller buildings hoisted Hap, and the weather being Mar,
warm. and away, greet numbers of pimple were in the
streets, giving a festive character to the day throughout.
In the evening there was an illumination, but it was only
partial, many of the preparatione, chii4l intended for tO-
saserew, not being yet emphing.

A SHOCKING STORY.
London, England, 1863-12-10

ST. DOMINGO.

By advice' from St. Domingo, viL New York,
we are informed that the insnegenta had organis
a provisional government. The Spaniards had
4,000 troops in Puerto Plata. A large number of
the most respectable inhabitants of St. Domingo city
bad been arrested on suspicion of being connected
with the revolution. About 700 Dominican refugees
bad landed at Turk's Island. General Ramon Mel-
lor commanded the insurgents. Some hundreds of
Chinese had arrived in St. Domingo from Cuba, to
be employed as labourers with the Spanish army.
The Spanish blockade of the coast was only partial,
from want of force, the three chief ports of the
island being still open—a fact which seems to show
that the Queen's army cannot hold the towns.

THE CONGRESS.
PARIS, DEc,lO.

The replies of Austria, Prussia, the Pope, Hano-
ver, and Bavaria to the Emperor's invitation to a
congress have been published to-day.
The King of Prussia declares himself ready to
participate in a congress the object of which would
be to effect the modifications which might be con-
sidered necessary in the treaties of 1815, which,
however, none the less continue to form the founda-
tion upon which the political edifice of Europe at
present rests. The ministers of the various coun-
tries should prepare the propositions which would
be submitted to the congress.
The Pope, in his reply, concurs in the project
of a congress, and will use his endeavours in order
that the &principle of justice, unrecognised and
trampled under foot, may be re-established and
violated rights vindicated. The Pope also states
that he should especially demand the re-establish-
ment, in catholic countries, of the real pre-eminence
naturally appertaining to the catholic religion as
being the only true faith.

VICTOR EMMANUEL AND THE COMM/MS

PROPOSITION.

The following letter has been addressed to the
Emperor Napoleon by the King of Italy in reply
to the congress proposition :
My Baonign,—The letter which your Imperial Majesty
has addressed to me is inspired with a grand aid generous
thought to which those who understand the tendencies of
our epoch will associ►te themselves.
A permanent struggle has established itself ►n a great
part of Europe between the public conscience and the state
of things created by the treaties of 1815. Hence an anxiety
which will only increase until European order is constituted
upon the basis of the principles of nationality and liberty,
which are the very life of modern peoples.
Before • situation so threatening to the Frogmen of
civilisation and the peace of the world, your Imperial
Majesty has become the interpreter of a general sentiment
by proposing to convoke • Congress, the object of which
would be to effect a durable understanding between the
rights of the sovereigns and the just aspirations of the
peoples.
1 adhere with pleasure to your Imperial Majesty's propo-
sition. My assistance and that of my people are insured to
the realisation of this project, which would mark a great
progress in the history of humanity.
Directly the meeting of the International Conference oc-
cur', 1 shall hasten to take part .in it, either in person or
by deputy.
Italy will bring to the Congress the most sincere spirit of
equity and moderation. She is convinced that justice and
the respect of legitimate rights are the true foundation
upon which to establish • new European equilibrium.
My most ardent desire is that the work of wisdom and of
couoord which your Imperial Majesty has taken the initia-
tive in may succeed in removing the dangers of war and in
strengthening the bonds which ought to exist between
nations.

I seize this occasion to renew to you the assurances of
inviolable friendship and high consideration with which I
am, my brother,
Your Imperial Majesty's good Brother,

LATEST INTFALIGENVE.

A' SOUTHEENROPO JOURNAL ON PEACE
PSITIONS.
The Richmond Examiner has the following on
peace propositions :
We notice that reesot propoaltious have been made in
several of our state legislature' for negotiations with the
enemy and suits for armistice. These deserve unqualified
condemnation. They are generally made in artful language
—they are very innocent on their face—they are always
accompanied by certain protestations that the interest of
the South is not to be sacrificed—that the negotiation in
to bs ea essay on Christian charity, and the object
an " honourable" peace. There is no possible truth
in such protestations. They are convenient covers
of traitorous designs or of cowardly soquiesoence in the
failure of oor struggle. It is not wonderful that these
suggeetion• in our state legislatures of pacific negotiations
should be iovarinbly interpreted by the North to cover
propositions of reconstruction. To every candid mind in
the Confederacy they can mean nothing else. Those who
desire a suggestion of peace to be made now to
the North know very well what its price would be.
We congratulate the legislature of this state on
the signal rebuke it has given to two attempts
at peace propositions in that body. It has shown a spirit
worthy of the ancient end honourable commonwealth of
Virginia, and one that should be inculcated in the war. It
is that of resolutiou to prosecute the war without being
turned aside by use leas and impatient speculations of peace,
expecting that blessing only in the sustained and increased
success of our arms, and awaiting it with calm and intelli-
gent confidence in the progress of events.

THE NLTV ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN.

A mighty war is raging among certain of our
eostemporaries, in behalf of UM respective favourite &s-
-pinals for the vacant Men Mamie of Dublin, and the
part tabs by the combatants is characteristic and curious.
We have carefully abstained, as our readers are aware,
from any attempt to relieve the minister upon whom the
grave responsibility of the appointment rests, by fore-
stalling his decision. All we have ventured upon in the
way of interference was to protest in the name of
the Irish church against a selection which would be
unsatisfactory to the vast majority of its members, lay and
clerical, and mischievous in itself. It was our misfortune,
in taking this course, to find ourselves in opposition to such
champions of protestantlam as the DuGlin Evening Po►t,
Cork Reporter, and the Irish Times; bat that we could
not help. We may now, perhaps, do somewhat towards
settling the controversy by announcing that we have reason
to believe the question has been determined in favour of an
English divine. We have been informal, as it seems to es
upon credible authority, that the Rev. Canon Stanley will
be the new arobbishop.—Dublia Bresitsg Mail.

COMPASSION OF THE WHITTLESEA MURDERER.

The following letter from the Governor of the
County Gaol at Cambridge has been received by Mr. George
Moore Smith, the solicitor for the prosecution :—" Cam-
bridgeshire County Prison,Chesterton, Dec. 7.1. Dear Sir,—
It will be a satisfaction for you to know that Jobe Green
bee confessed to the murder of Elizabeth Brown. Mr.
Wilder, will perhaps have given yon the particulars. la
sass he has not I may state that Green confirms, with one
exception, all that was stated at his trial ; the exception is
that on the morning of the 12th of March when he wile seen
running home be was without cap, the cap produced
at the trial being the same he bed on. at the dancing
room of the George and Star. It appears, asoording
to his statement, that he had connexion with the de-
mand Brown before he went into the malting; bet I
ought to say first that Green had stolen a bucketful of
gin from the storeroom of the George and Star, sad that
Smedley wee cognisant of it, and reopened the melting
door and returned with Green to partake of the gin.
When they left the malting the second time the door
was left open, but the big gates were locked. Well, Green
and Brown went into the mall og about the time they
were seen by M'Doaald. They Preen and Brown) had
some gin, and sat about an hour, and he wanted to have
emanation a second time with Brown. She resisted; he
pulled her off the settle ; she kicked and knocked about, sad
got hold of bishair. He hit her on the body with his fists,
and she folios the floor. He then kicked her on the bd
more than once. She did not scream out, He felt very
and did not know what to do, as he felt he had le
her. He stooped down and got hold of her and
shook her, sod found she was really dead. He then drank
heartily of some gin. There were some sacks lying about,
which be put round her and set fire to by putting a shovel-
ful of hot cinders on the arks. He at down on a block
&past the furnace and watched the burning about an hour.
He then drank some mare gin and stirred up the burning
ricks. He them sat dove, sod unexpectedly went off to
sleep. When he awoke he was half stifled with smoke, and
about until be found the dour in the cake-place
fZie:lg into the yard, and got out over the wall and went
running home. The above is the Dui:stance of Green's
statement, made in the presence of the under-sheriff, Mr.
George Day; the prisoner's attorney, Mr. Winders, and
myself. A copy of the said statement has been sent to the
Home Secretary of State, and a copy to Barna Martin.—

DRURY-LANE.

The resources of Old Drury for scenic display
have been applied this Christmas witkunbounded liberality,
and with a succor rarely paralleled on the tint night of a
pantomime entertainment. Before the performance proper on
Saturday evening commenced, the farce of A Roland for en
Oliver, was got through with somewhat less than the meal
amount of uproarious exhilaration. Beyond a fewoccesional
little showers of orange peel, there was in fact nothing to dis-
turb the composure of the most fastidious spectator, albeit
the density of the gallery-sacking could never have been ea-
needed, mad a thousand protruding faces in the upper regime
seemed to claim • good•humoored control over the entire
scene below.
The famous story of Sindbad the SaVor, from the
" Arabian Nights," has been selected by Mr. lI L. Blasslssed
as the theme of his present contribution to the Cbrieteme
festivities, and, with the valuable aid of Mr. William
Beverley, he has striven to realise the magical changes and
wondrous enchantments emaciated with the mighty marvels
recorded in the ever popular Thousand and One Nights.
By the time the introductory story and spectacle bad ter-
minated, the herlequieede seemed almost se ensnares' as
rielltaae. It was, however, fun of that peculiar kind of fume
which seems inseparable from the idea of Boxing-eight, eel
everything in it was dons in the most telling and 'stelae-
tory manner. In • School for Cookery, Clown end Pe/ler
loon potted policemen in the boiling coppers and baked Me
head cook in his own red-hot oven. Throughout the he,-
lequioade there was a constant succession of surprising
situations and diverting mechanical effects. These were
agreeably intermixed with a performance by Master
Shapcott, the intact drummer—a wonderful, pretty
little fellow of about four or five, who mom-
peeled the bend in • most charming manner.
and beet his tiny drum with the true military roll. The
little artist was moat heartily applauded. Another pitman
feature was some pretty dances by • living pack of cards,
consisting of fifty-two deoseusea, the honours being repre-
sented in the dress with its ornaments, and the other cards
by chintz placards worn in frost. In the concluding scene
Shakespeare is presented as the centre piece.

been added to the list, and another is rapidly approaching
