London workmen w adept in the art of " ranniu
up" something that Zoo's. very well to the eye, and it fa
not prudent to take the result of very hurried labors
altogether on trust. A previous Impaction of the piles of
nun that now border oar roadways ie very wry.
Fortunately, and by a signal exception to our loess
end irregular method of doing things, we ham an upwind
agog by which such an inspection can be made without
difficulty. The district surveyors may fitly enteud their
vigilance to the constructions, of the stability of which the
public has no present asinuance it mu implicny swept.
A general survey of scaffolds and mete before they ars
loaded to their Mince* capacity will add very much to the
the ereatort of the community. Them is time enough to
make it, and to prohibit the me of any that are found
detecti►e or doubtfuL Some arrangements will also be
needed that private speculation will not provide. After
the procession baa paned there will be inameme armed, in
the streets, and in some of the open plum, like Trafalus-
square, they may gather in mimes dal/gores, to tbseuelvee
in cue of any sudden pressure, ahem, or " ugly rush."
A few barriers, erected in such spots as the experimos of
the police prints out as most liable to these perilous weal-
ties, appear to be Isry essential. There is ample time for
all these precautions, and they may prevent some serious
accidents. They are employed os occasions of much less
interest, and a. Saturday they will be hediepensable.

or union on horseback will be allowed to case slops the

Tug BISHOP OF OXFORD AND THE ROYAL MAR-
RIAGE.- The Bishop of Oxford has addressed the following
letter to his archdeacons, touching the observance of the
day of the Prince of Wales's marriage : --" Coddeeden
Palace, March 4.-14 deer archdeaoon,—Having been
applied to by some of our brethren of the clergy for advice
as to their conduct on the day of the marriage of the
Prince of Wales, I desire to convey to you my opinion that
any rejoicing, to be real, moat be manifested en the day of
the wedding. The Lenten fast was originally an appoint-
ment of the church, with which the Archbishop of Canter-
bury had, and still has, by law, a right to dispense ; and,
from the communications I have received from his grace, I
consider that be bas dispensed with it for the ►uspicious
day in question. I would therefore advise all, under the
circumstances, heartily and without misgiving, to take part
in the loyal rejoicings which befit this great coasaion.—l
remain, my dear archdeacon, yours very truly, S. OXON."
HER MAJESTY AND HER BALMORAL DEPIE(DENTS.
—Of all the admirable traits in her Majesty's pausal cha-
meter, none is more endearing than the interest she takes
in her dependents, and her anxiety to promote their happi-
ness. A very touching instance of this has just come to
oar notice. We do not need to say—and could not if we
did—what fabulous sums would be given by the proud mil-
lionaires of England for a place la St. George's Chapel at
the great ceremony on Tuesday. But the pleasure and the
honour for which these men mast sigh for in vain will be
enjoyed by the humblest gillie oo the highland estate of
Balmoral. Her Majesty has graciously invited the whole of
her dependents there to be present at the marriage of her
son, and ordered arrangements to be made for the convey-
ance to and from Windsor of as many persons as can possi-
bly be spared from their duties upon the estate. They in
their turn have evinced their affection for their royal inie-
tress by many simple but pleasing expedients—such, for
instance, as sending to many distant places chaplets and
crowns of heather cut from the Prince's own forest in Brae-
mar.—Edinburgh Daily Devie.e.
PRESENTS TO THE PRINCESS ALEXANDRA.—At
Birmingham a desire having been expressed by numerous
ladies and gentlemen that a suitable wedding present should
be made to the Princess Alexandra, the Mayor, a few days
ago, issued a circular expressive of his cordial coocurrencc in
the propriety of this peooseding, adding, also, that it was
proposed to open a public subscription for the
purchase of some specimens of Birmingham art manu-
facture to be hereafter selected. This proposal has
been very generally responded to, and yesterday a
meeting of the subscribers was held at the Midland In-
stitute, the Mayor in the chair, at which a resolution was
passed appointing au influential committee, who was to
solicit subscriptions for the purchase of the Repoosee table
muufactured by Messrs. Elkington, and exhibited at the
International Exhibition. With regard to the present to
be made by the ladies of Ireland, Saunders News announces
that lady Rachel Butler and the ladies of the committee
have selected one of the most magoificent specimens of real
point ever manufactured in that country—via., a lace shawl
and parasol cover, from a celebrated Dublin house.

All other infantry corps, and the whole of the cavalry
and artillery, to enter the park by the gate at Hyde-park-
corner, and the enclosure by the south entrance. Only
battalions which are completely formed will be permitted
to enter the enclosure. All bands must cease playing or
arriving at the entrance of the enclosure ; and on reaching
the ground set aside for the assembly of the troops the force
will be drawn up in two lines, the cavalry sad mounted bat-
teries of artillery being deployed, and the net of the fortis
being formed in contiguous quarter-distance columns right
in front. These lines, one facing the east and the other
facing the west, will consist of the following brigades, ar-
ranged from right to left in the order here indicated:—Lioe
facing Feet -Cavalry Brigade, Artillery Brigade, Ist
Infantry Brigade, 3rd Infantry Brigade, sth Infantry
Brigade, 7th Infantry Brigade. Line [maim West
—Bth Infantry Brigade, 6th Infantry Brigade, 4th

as the whole force shall have been thus formed,
the columns of infantry will be deployed into lines four
deep, each company daring the deployment closing to its
leading flank. The ranks will DOC be opened, but the
officers will take post in review order in front of the line.
As the prooesaiou passes between the lines the infantry
will present arms by brigades in succession, a band of etch
brigade of the line facing the east being told off by the
brigadier to play " God save the Queen" and the " Danish
National Hymn." As soon as the procession has quitted
the ground the infantry will re-form quarter-disteoce
columns right in front, and clam to intervals of mix paces on
the right battalions of brigades. The brigades of the line
facing the west will then s.dvaace until they are abreast of
those of the other line, when the battalions will change front
by the wheel of subdivisions round the centre, and halt m
that the whole force will form one continuous line.
If time will permit the torus will then march past the
general commanding. For the purpose of leaving the park,
the battalions which entered by the Vittoria-gate will
retire 50 paces, halt, and front; and those which entered
by the Marble Arch will advance 50 paces and halt. The
force being thus arranged in three hoes, the several squad-
rons, batteries, and battalions will leave the park by the
gates through which they respectively entered, moving off
I. sucesession from the left of the first and third lines, and
from the right of the second line. No rosettes or favours
are to be worn by the volunteer corps trader arms on the
7th instant. Commanding officers of battalioos are requested
to see that their companies are carefully sized, according to
the rule prescribed in the Field Exerciee of Infantry. No
company is to be of less strength than 24 files, or of greater
strength than 32 tiles.—By order, M. Miluitho.
