DEPARTURE OF HER MAJE ;TY AND PRINCE ALBERT
pea CAMBElnoz.—From its being generally known that the
royal party would leave Buckingham Palace this morning,
a numerous and fashionable company assembled as early as
10 o'clock to witness the departure from the palace. A large
body of the police was oar the ground. At half-past
10 o'clock the royal travelling carriages, three is number,
each drawn by four horses, left the palace, and, accom-
panied by an escort of the 14th Lancers, proceeded at a
rapid rate to Hyde-pack, and from:thence to the Regent's-
park, through the lower end of Camden-town, by the
Br,cknock Arms and Seven Sisters-road, to the sta-
tion at the Eastern Counties Railway at Tottenham.
At various points of the route considerable numbers of
persons were congregated to witness the passing by of her
majesty and royal consort, both of whom were loudly
cheered, a mark of respect and loyalty repeatedly acknow-
leaded by Prince Albert. Tottenhate, however, was the
paint of attraction, it being the first visit ever paid toiat by
the monarch. The entire population made it a holiday;
while not only the inhabitants., but these from the immediate
vicinity and from more distant parts, were crowded together
round the terminus. The guard of honour placed at
the entrane consisted of the members, of the West
Middlesex Yceomanry. The hand of the Artillery company
was inside the gates; and, upon the arrival of her majesty
and his royal highness, they struck up the National An-
them, which at intervals was drowned by the shouts of the
populace. This enthusiastic reception was acknowledged both
by the quern and her royal coo ort, who, upon alighting,
were received by Mr. Hudson, M.P., the chairman; Mr.
Waddington, the deputy-chairman; Mr. Sheriff Kinnaird,
one of the directors; Mr. Roney, the secretary, and several
other officials belonging to the company. In the marquee
erected for the reception of her majesty, a cold collation was
laid out for thy royal party. In about half an hour atter-
wardslt he train being ready, her majesty and the prince entered
the royal carriage which had been lent by the London and
Birmingham Railway Company for the occasion, and, under
the guidance of skilful drivers, proceeded towards Cambridge.
Her majesty and the prince appeared to be in excellent
health.
HER MAJESTY'S MOVEMENTS.—The Queen, Prince
Albert, and the royal family, are expected to visit Osborne
next week. Her Majesty will shortly afterwards return to
London to dissolve parliament, and then repair again to
Osborne, where the court will sojourn until the departure
for Scotland. During the absence of the Queen and Prince
Albert the royal children will remain at Osborne.

Mr. Bond Cal,bell, M.l'., and Colonel Reid had an
interview with Sir George Grey on Saturday, at the Home.
office. Sir Benjamin Brodie, Mr. Hammik, and Mr. Edw.
Rumhton had interviews with Sir George Orey on Saturday,
at the Hume-office.
The French Ambassador visited Viscount Palmer-
ston on Saturday, at the Foreign-office.
Baron de Ziegesar left town yesterday for the Con-
tinent.
Despatches were sent off on Saturday evening from
the Colonial-office for the Governor General of Canada, and
also for the Governors of the other North Americus pre-
winces.

PENSION TO MIL NEWPORT, F.R.B.—Her Majesty.
on the recommendation of Lord John Rummell, has granted a
pension of 1001. to this gentleman, better known as one of the
founders of the Entomological Society, of which institution
he was lately. president. In the letter in which her
Majesty's gracious intention was announced, the premier
expressed his regret that the very numerous claims on the
fund devoted to this purpose prevented him from making
the grant more commensurate with Mr. Newport's nicotine
merits.
THE CAXTON MONITMENT.—Sir,—I wish to tall
the attention of the public, and the printing-trade in parti-
cular, to this subject. For some years there has been a
printers' almshouse fund, in a languishing state, and I am
quite serious when I say, in all probability the discovery of
perpetual motion will become a matter of history before they
are built, unless proper measures are taken to unite it with
the agitation now in existence concerning the Caxton memo-
rial. An asylum for aged and decayed printers claims
higher and sounder grounds for support in this free coun-
try, than any of the proposed obelisks, fountains, or colnmne.
Of course, a statue in honour of Caxton will be included
in the catalogue of worthies to be thus honoured with a
place in the New Palace of Westminster. It would not
only be in the spirit of the age in which Caxton lived, it
would resemble the trade he followed during his peaceful
and important career, in its tendency to render mankind
happier; it would allow of unlimited respect to the memory
of Caxton' who deserves not one, but a hundred peaceful
and useful time-enduring monuments; it would allow every
opportunity for encouraging the Sue arts, in connesioe
with every. virtue that can make us better and wiser
men ; it is equally adsptcd to the site of the pro-
memorial- (the asylum and the venerable Abbey
ed
Church, within whose precincts Calton laboured,.
could be made mutually to increase the beauties of
each other); it would be thankfully welcomed by many so
whom Canton's mantle hath fallen, whose grey hairs tee
doomed to suffer all the horrors of purgatory in a workhnase,
and descend in sorrow to the grave. It is one of the contra-
dictions that are continually occurring, that I should humbly
advocate a retrograde movement as a reform in the WM
century. It is no idle, antiquarian suggestion. Thoroughly
convinced of the folly of spending large sums of mon, 3- in
useless memorial. to commemorate the existence of valour,
of talent, or of virtue, I humbly, yet earnestly entreat all
who take an interest in this matter to adopt the time-
honoured practice of by-sone ages, when, from feelings of trot
religion, or a superstitious notion of the value of such whom,
our forefathers founded almshouses.—J. W.

instance of Alderman Copeland, for brutal treatment to •
number of calves. The alderman described the state in
which he saw the animals ; their legs were tied together in
a cartand their heads were hanging down on the tail-board;
they were struggling violently, and • quantity of saliva
issued from their mouths. Ho appealed to the man to alter
their position, but he refused, and he was treated with great
derision by a number of salesmen, who were standing near.
Several salesmen deposed that the mode of packing was the
beet that could be devised. The bench fined the defendant 20s
and coats.
ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFL—On Friday night,
as Mr. Blyth, a shoemaker living in the Commercial-road,
was returning in a chaise-cart from Fairlop lair, accom-
panied by his wife, and a Mr. and Mrs, Owen and their
ighter, while endeavouring to clear a waggon the wheel of
the cart came in contact with the kerb stone, awl was over-
turned. All the party were thrown out; some fell under the
wheels of the waggon, which paved over them, and ethers
fell uncle r the cart. They all sustained serious iujurirs' all
being insensible when picked up. Shutters were procured,
and the sufferers conveyed to the London Hospital, where,
shortly atter her arrival, Mrs. Blyth expired, the waggon
having gone over and entirely crushed her legs. Mr. and
Mrs. Oxen and their daughter are in a meet precarious
state. Mrs. Owen's leg was fractured, and has since beea
amputate d ; Mr. Owen sustained a fracture of the thigh
bone, aid two ribs were fractured. His daughter, who is also
in the hospital, is not expected to survive many hours. The
circumstances of a revolting robbery to which the accident
gave rise are given in oar report of the Thames Police-office.
NUMEROUS FlRES.—Yesterday morning, at a quar-
ter-past three o'clock, a very destructive fire broke out upon
the premims numbered IS, North-place, Kingaland read,
belonging to Mr. Charles Truste, coffee-house keeper. The
flames originated in the cellar, and rapidly extended up the
staircase to the first and second floors, destroying in their
progress the furniture and wearing apparel contained
therein. The perish, London Brigade, and West of Eng-
land engines promptly attended, but the fire by that period
had broke., through the roof, and for some time the destruc-
tion of the adjoining buildings appeared certain. Plenty of
water, however, having been obtained from the mains in the
district, e powerful stream was scattered over the tarots,
which completely subdued them by 5 o'clock, but not before
consider ,hle damage was done. Fortunately, Mr. Truster
was insured in the Sun Fire Office. A spark from a lighted
candle, it is supposed, was the cause of the dissater.—The
same morning, about one o'clock, a fire broke out in the
workahoes of Mr. R. Marten, millwright and engineer, sit-
uate in Fox-lane, Shadwell. On ing to the timely assistance
afforded, the fire was soon extinguished.--A third fire
broke out at half-past three o'clock yesterday_ afternoon,
the premises in the occupation of Mr. Jacket,
oil and colourman, No. 2.5, James-street, Covent-garden.
The eueines of the London Brigade attended, when the
firemen found that a large beam iu the back parlour had
ignited from a defict in the chimney, and the flames were
pouring out with such fury, that, if a few minutes longer
had elapsed before the discovery was made, the entire build-
ing must have been destroyed. As it was, the firemen were
unable to get the fire extinguished without pulling down the
wainscot, and cutting away the beam.—At a late hour on
Saturday night a report was raised that the London Univer-
-67 ~,,,,, fire. Several engines were immediately despatched
thither, when the firemen ascertained that a bottle of piles-
ono, in the chemical theatre of the university, had
'tied. and the light being so strong, it was at @rat imagined
at
a tearful conflagration had taken place. The inmates
succeed. d in getting the fire out before any considerable da-
mage was done.—The same day, a fire broke out on board
the Esp, riment, railing barge, lying in the Surrey Canal,
near tl.e Old Kent-road bridge. It was caused by the over-
heat of the cabin stove, which set the vessel in a blaze. The
workmen got the flames subdued, but not until about two-
thirds of the after bulkhead and the cabin were burned, and
the afte.. deck cut away. The vessel was uninsured.
INQUFsT, SATURDAY—SUSPICIOUS DEATH AT THE
SCRREY COUNTT LUNATIC ARTLUN.—At this institution, by
the Coroner fur Surrey, on the body of a pauper named Burden.
The deceased, it appeared, had been exceedingly obstreperous
in his conduct, and required constant attention. Mr. Joseph
Holland, the medical uttendant, said that the deceased had
suffered from diarrlicea, and he had directed that every
attention should be paid to him, and had ordered proper
medicine to be admini.tered. The poor fellow got worse,
his breathing was affected, his skin was hot, and his pulse
quick. He asked deceased how long he had been in that
state, an.l he was about to answer, when the attendant, John
Steel, observed that the patina had made a complaint that
he had been ill-used by him. Mr. Holland then examined
the deceased, and found a rib broken, and two lacerated
contusions en the right side ; he lived until the 23rd ult.
Several other witnesses were examined, but the cause of the
broken rib and the contusions was not specifically traced to
any indisidual. Before the deceased ceased to exist, his de-
position, in eztrem is, was taken by Edward Johnson, Esq., a
county magistrate, and in that deposition the deceased
accused on •of the keepers of kicking him iii the side. The
jury returned a verdict "That the deceased died of in-
flammation of the lungs, set up by • fractured rib, how
caused unknown." A rigid inquiry into the circumstances
is to be instituted by a commits e of county magistrates.—
Reletteet or A JURY TO RETVEN A VERDICT IN THB AB-
SENCE OF THE ACCUSED.—By Mr. Mills, in the University
College Hospital, on Robert bustard, aged eleven months.
On Thursday night, as deceased's mother, with deceased in
her arms was crossing the corner of the Hampatead and the
New rondo, • cab, which was proceeding at the rate of eight
miles an hour, knocked the mother down, and, passing over
both, killed deceased. They were conveyed to the hospital,
and the driver of the cab was brought before a magistrate,
and remanded until the inquest was held. The jury declared
that they would not return a verdict until either the prisoner
was brought before them, or he was enabled to produce
witnesses, respecting the transaction, especially as none but
policemen were examined. The inquest was accordingly
adjourned for the reason assigned oy the jury.

THE INSTALLATION AT CAMBRIDGE.
CAMBRIDGE, JOLT 4.—The preparations for the
installation of Prints Albert, to-morrow, and the reception
of bee Majesty, are by no means confined to Cambridge.
At the Tottenham station, a triumphal arch, 50 feet high,
composed of evergreens, and ornamented with the arms of
the Eastern Counties Railway Company, flips, and other
devices, has been erected. A road, 300 feet long, and at the
sides of which are placed flag-staffs,trimmed with wreaths,leads
from the arch to the pavilion, a building in the Swiss style, the
centre of which forms a reception room ; beyond which is a
corridor, supported by columns, and lined with exotics, lead-
ing to the departure platform. The number of flags supplied
for the decoration of the Tottenham station and its vicinity
is 200. The train will consist of six vehicles, arranged as
follows :—Next to the tender of the engine will be placed a
break van, then a first class carriage, next the carriage for
the suite, the fourth from the engine will be the royal car-
riage, the fifth carriage is for the directors in attendance upon
her Majesty, behind which there will be the!hinder break van.
Immediately on the arrival of her Majesty at the Tottenham
station, a pilot engine will start on its downward Tourney,
and, by a combination of the semaphore and hand styrnals in
use on the line, and of the electric telegraph signals, this
engine will be steadily in advance of the royal train by five
minutes. Precisely ten minutes after the train has started,
a second pilot engine will leave the Tottenham station, and,
by the 54L119 combination of eiunalo, this will continue
throughont the journey at the tame interval. The three en-
gines will be driven by men specially selected from the whole
of the company's 120 engine-drivers for their good conduct
and skill as drivers. The train will start from Tottenham at
half-past eleven.
At Cambridge a portion of the station has been parti-
tioned off and fitted up with great splendour for the use
of the royal party. 'Under the portico a gallery has
been erected for the directors of the company and their
friends; and the whole building is to be decorated with
evergreens, and nearly 300 flags and banners. Proceeding
from the railway station, on either side of the road are other
galleries tsstefully fitted up kir the accommodation of the
municipal authorities and their friends, and beyond this,
about midway between the station and the end of the new
road leading from it, is a triumphal arch covered
with evergreens, and decorated with a variety of flags.
On each side of the road from thence to the end of Regent-
street, where the procession will turn off, proceeding by
New-town into Trumpington-street, are numerous galleries
erected by private speculators, and yclept "ths Victoria,"
" the Albert," dce., from whence the eunous may, for a con-
sideration, obtain a view of the royal visitors whose names
are thus unceremoniously employed. At the end of Trump-
ington-street, opposite Addenbroke's Hospital, is a second
triumphal arch of greater proportions than the first, and
here it is understood the mayor and town council will meet
the royal party and present the town address. Along
Trampingtortstreet, and all the way to Trinity lodge,
where the vice-chancellor and the university authorities
meet the sovereign and their royal chancellor, and
where the chancellor himself, receiving the stsves
of office from the rice-chancellor, presents them to
her Majesty—every vacant spot—even every recess between
the buttresses of the several churches which abut upon the
line which the cortege will pass, is fitted up with seats or
standing-places for spectators.
Within the university the preparations are on the most
eateeeive scale. In the ficnate-houme, a raised dais at the
western end, surmounted by a canopy of crimson cloth, or-
namented with gold, and furnished with two chairs of state,
is appropriated as the place of honour for her Majesty and
the chancellor. There are raised seats on the north and
south sides of the building for the accommodation of the
ladies, and the north and south galleries and area are for the
IMO of the members of the university and gentlemen visitors.
There is also an orcheetra opposite tla throne capable of con-
taining three hundred musicians. The whole of the inte-
t4or of this building is decorated in crimson and gold.
At all the colleges, which it is understood her Ma-
testy will visit, and more especially at Trinity and
Catherine-balls, preparations on the most magnifl-
mat scale are in progress. At the grand banquet
at Trinity, on Tuesday, accommodation is provided for 330
pats. A troop of the 2nd Life Guards has arrived in the
town, under the command of Col. Macl)ouall, which will
form the guard of honour. The Whittlesea troop of
Yeomanry is also here, together with a body of the enrolled
pusioners. So many soldiers have not been seen in Cam-
bridge for many years before, and the evolutions of the
t= on parade this morning, in Trupington-street—
rn
dismounted--attracted an immense concourse of
spectators. In addition to the numerous fetes and ceremonies
within the colleges, a variety of amusements have been pro-
vided for the three days during which the proceedings will
lest, in various parts of the town and suburbs, including
balloons, horticultural Ptes, fireworks, races and rustic
_Vans; and last, but not least, a performanceof "the
Measiab," by the Choral Society, who hays made several
metropolitan engagements for the *cession.
The University sermon was preached at Bt. Mary's this
morning by the Rev. Edward Thompson, DN., of Clare
Hall, from Luke xi., 28. After which was the commemora-
tion of benefactors, and an anthem. The church was

crowded, In " the throne," in addition to the dignitaries of
the university, we observed the Bishops of Durham, St.
David's, and Oxford, Sir E. H. Alderson, Right Hon. H.
Goulburn, Hon. C. E. Law, the Dean of Windsor, &c., &c.
At two o'clock the Right Rev. Dr. Perry, Bishop of Mel-
bourne, delivered an eloquent discourse from Matt. v. 16,
at St. Mart's. The church was densely crowded by members
of the university and visitors. A portion of the testes'
graduates' gallery was set apart for ladies intro ,
members of the senate. The Lord Bishop ofOxford

Society.
The usual promenade in King's College grounds, and
Clare Hall piece, took place this evening. A great number
of visitors have arrived by the several trains to-day, and on
Saturday plias from London were so heavily laden with
passengers that the later ones were considerably behind
time. Seldom did Cambridge present such a scene of anima.
tion.
