TRINIDAD.

Lord Harris had received a number of valedictory.
addresses previous to his departure. The last act of
his lordship s administration was to announce that
the estimates and plans for bringing the water of the
Moray into the Port of Spain had been approved of
by the home government. The Pore qf Spain 1;,1-
zette of June 10 has an article highly eulogistic of
Lord Harris's government of the island. The Trini-
dadian is less favourable. Lord Harris was suc-
ceeded by Colonel Ward as acting governor.
The weather continued to bo very propitiolts
for agricultural operations, and the wages of
labourers had not experienced any alteration. In
the Board of Council, on the 2nd of June, the go•
vernor submitted the budgets for 182, which showed
an increase in the receipts arising from the duties on
imports over the preceding year's estimate. The e)-
10:nal secretary had moved for a grant of 10,001/.
for immigration purposes. In the Board of Councili
sitting of the 6th, says the (Malec. :
Ilk excellency had the satisfaction of putting the lakt
stroke to a work of fiscal reform to which he had plc dz..l
himself from his first assumption of the ruins of goes ne
meat, :—the abolition of the export duty of 31 per cLut
ad valorem, hitherto levied on all produce grown in aIA
exported from the colony. The council at the same ra,t-
ing passed the ordinance entitled an ordinance "to autho-
rise the advancement of public money to a limited amount,
to promote the improvement of public roads, not
royal roads, in the colony." The other proceediugs of nu:
, legislature were of merely local importance.
The Trinidadian, of June 4, says:
-

A most deplorable accident has occurred in the quarter
of Isaparima, resulting in the death of Mrs. Crosby.
the sister of the HOll. Dr. Philip. About raid-
night of Saturday, the 31st ult., the house on the
Corinth Estate, occupied by that lady aid her family,
was discovered to be on fire, and so rapid was the
progress of the flames, that each sought for safety in
flight. Mr. B. Philip, alter great difficulty, had succeeded
in securing the retreat of the greater portion of the °era-
pants of the house, when the staircase gave way, and it W. 13
discovered that Mrs. Crosby and one of her daughters were
mis•ing. A ladder was immediately reared up against tha
house. Mr. D. Philip saved Miss Crosby, but when he rushed
up once more to the rescue of Mrs. Crosby, the house
was enveloped in flames, and Mrs. Crosby, in a
state of asphyxia, had already fallen a victim to
them. tinder the house there were several puncheons of
rum, which, upon the falling of the flooring, hurried on the
dreadful disaster. Everything was consumed, and anion.;
the ruins only a portion of the carbonised remains of Mr-.
Crosby were discovered. The material loss is valued at
15,000 dols. or 20,000 dais. Mrs. Crosby has left a name,
roue family.

At Antigua, according to the h Reyi,ter,
lithe weather still continuer rainy. It is li•ared the
crop will be further returded in consequence of the
trains causing a spring in the ripe canes. The wind
is also unfavourable fur grinding it is light, an-
steady. and shifting from one point of the compass
to another. The heat of the atmosphere for some
days has been meat oppressive." This, of course, is
advantageous for the next year's crop, but rather,
unfavourable for the taking of the present crop. The
Board of Council and house of Asscmhly of Antigua
bad agreed to petitions which arc to be presented to
the Lords and Commons, prepared by a joint com-
mittee, against any further diminution of the diffe-
rential duties on tun•ijn sugar and molasses.

The occasion of her Majesty honouring the enter-
tainment of the City of London, on Wclnesday evening
next, at Guildhall, in celebration of the Exhibition of the
World's Industry, bids fair to surpass anything of the kind
that we.. perhaps ever witnessed in this country. We arc
in a position to state positively that her Majesty has fixed
the wrist of her arrival at Guildhall for hllf.past nine
o'clock. Tho order observed will be semi-state. Nearly
the whole of her Majesty's household will take part in the
procession, which will leave Buckingham Palace a few
minutes before nine o'clock in the following form :

the ace:mint of her Majesty's gracious visit to the City, on
the th instant, I am anxious publicly to stato that I con-
sider that such a demonstration wined bo peculiarly appro-
priate so far as It embraces the line of streets through which
her Majesty will pass from Temple Bar to the place of enter-
tainment. As it is intended that Temple liar shall be an
object of brilliant display, I trust that a spirit of friendly
conciliation will characterise the ta,to of my fellow-citizens
throughout the hoe I have indicated. It is my intention to
illuminate the Mansion House." It was yesterday rep irted
that it is the intention of the great public establishments iu
the City to illuminate on the night of the royal ball.
Tue 'moss.—At ten o'elork on Saturday night
the workmen were actively engaged in the construction
of her Majesty's throne. The elevation of it will be
about twelve feet, and the width twenty feet, and it
will be of Gothic architecture' composed of silver
and gold. In the centre will be elaborately embla•
zoned the royal arms, and on either side the *Prince of
Wales's and l'rinco Albert's arms ; immediately before it
will be placed two richly gilt dragons on a raised dais. In
the crypt much it yet to he done to complete the works
by Monday evening, which is the time limited. On Tues-
day morning the parties contracting for the sup; ly of the
refreshments will take charge of the hall, under the
direction of the entertainment committee. The side en-
trance in Basinghall-street will he closed. and Cie public
no longer permitted admission under any pretence. A
programme of the festival, for the guidance of the repre-
sentatives of the press is in preparation; and only one
feeling seems to actuate those who have the direction and
management of this gorgeous pageant to give as much
satisfaction as possible, and lighten the duties of all whose
labours will be called iuto requisition on this occasion.
The royal chair will be of gold and crimson silk velvet.

The route of the procession, on leaving Buckingham Pa-
lace, will be through the St. James's la;ric into Pall-mall,
along Coekspur-street, Trafalgar-square, Strand, Fleet-
street, Ludgate-hill, St. Paul's Churchyard, Cheapeide,
King-street, to the Guildhall.
As previously announced, her Majesty has intimated her
desire that the old custom of presenting the keys of the City
to the sovereign when passing Temple-bar should be ilis-
peneeil with on the forthcoming occasion. Neither will the
lord mayor, aldermen, and common councilmen be in
attendance at the bar to receive the Queen and c,eort her
to the hall, her Majesty leaving expressed a wish that that
ceremony should also be omitted. To those who may be
anxious to learn the rate the procession will keep, we may I
mention that it will proceed at a sharp walking pace, similar
to that observed at the opening of the Crystal Palace.
The entire hoe of road from Buckingham l'oloec to the
Guildhall will be kept by the police awl the Ist and 2nd
Life Guards. The approach to the royal entrance of the
hall in King-street will be lined by the corps of the Hon.
Artillery Company, whose band, with that of the Life
Guards will be stationed in the open space between the
church of St. Lawrence, Jewry, and the Irish Chamber.
On her Majesty alighting, she will he received by the lord
mayor, recorder, and the other civic officers. The immediate
approach to the throne will be lined by the Ilvw Corps of
Gentlemen at Arnie, the Yeomen of the Guard, being also
in attendauce in the passages through whichthe Queen will
traverse.
Tay. Guest lIALL has been entirely floored with boards.
COS and Magog have received a new dress, and appear the
Imore juvenile for their holiday attire. The chandelier',
which cost the corporation WV., have been lately decorated,
the several compartments bearing alternately the royal arms
laud the letters " V. 11." The ceiling from which they are
suspended has been painted blue and white, and a new
aperture made fur the purposes of increased ventilatiou.
While on this subject it may be mentioned that a circular
screen, in keeping with the architectural beauty of the
building, has been placed entirely around it, so as to afford
beventilation. To correct any bad effect that might
be produced by the Hat ceiling and the gothic portions of
the other parts of the hall, some false balconies, in the shape
of a half-circle, have been erected, beautifully decorated
with the City arms, and pieced at the basement of each
window. Above these are thousands of garland, of all
kinds of ttowen hanging from the ceiling to the
wall, about midway from the flooring. These
cheete and pretty decorations completely surround
the wall, while the massive columns that support the edifice
are covered with glistening silver and gold, terminating
with huge branches to represent palm trees. Attached to
the painted balconies are petulant festoons of flowers, and
in tac centre droop clusters of every description of the
richest fruits. The compartments beneath, not occupied by
monuments, are magnificently decorated with allegorical
designs of various countries, England alone excepted.
'They are thus arranged—From east to wett, Spain and
Portugal, Norway and Sweden, France, Austria, Zollverein,
Russia, America, China; northern wall, Germany, Den- I
mark, Italy, Switzerland, Ituesia, and Austria, Egypt and
Tunis, Prussia, Belgium. The design has been taken, as
far as practicable, from the Great Exhibition, in compli-
ment to the august Sovereign and her l'rince Consort. The
monuments have been all cleaned under the superiuteudence
of the City mason, and some idea may be formed of the ,
activity which has been brought to hear, when it is stated 1
that the City plasterer in less than a week erected the
scaffolding and cleaned the whole of the hall, and re-
moved the former. The Gothic dado has been panelled
out in royal scarlet, and the whole of the lower portion
of the building contributes to the ancient, nettle, and
baronial style of the hall. The painting and plumbing de-
partments have been most judieionsly entrusted to, and
efficiently carried out b 1 the corporation plumber. The
south end of the hall, it is pretty well known, is nearly oc-
cupied by those perpetual overseers of civic banquets, Gog
and Magog. In the centre is a brilliant star of glass, ma-
nufactured by Alderman Copeland, M.P., which, when
lighted with gas, will produce an effect which has hitherto
never been approached. The Mooring of the great hall, as
well as the other portions of the building, will be covered
with matting and richly-worked drugget.
The VREUT in which her Majesty and the royal party will
take refreshments will be boarded and covered as already
mentioned. In each recess are immense silver glasses, six
feet by nine, and at the base carved oaken side tables in the
Gothic style, highly polished. Upon these will be placed
the massive plate of the corporation and leading companies,
relieved by vases and other works of artistic design. Be-
tween each of the double row of columns running down
the centre, will be placed allegorical flgutes, beariug in each
band an immense candlestick, from which will emerge a gas
branch encased in glass. 'lO promote ventilation in this
part of the building, the modern arches (built after the
great fire), have been opened, and will be railed off the
crypt. This additional space will be hail out in imitation
of a vinery, flower stands, figures. and gas branches being
placed in the recesses. It should be stated that the walls,
columns, &c., of the crypt will be hung with Berlin ta-
pestry, and that the figures supporting the lights will be
arrayed in full armour cap ci pie, the whole scene intend-
ing to represent the famous picture by Dude. The table
at which her Majesty will sup is placed in the centre of
the crypt, and 6 12 feet by 3ei, and covered with scarlet
cloth.
THE ALDERMEN'S ROOMS have been fitted up in a con-
venient and sumptuous style as retiring rooms. The open
courts leading to them have all been covered in, the case-
ments taken out, and in the temporary rooms formed out of'
the courts a novel and exceedingly Meant's! idea has been
carried out of producing by means of calico and transparent
scarlet cloth, illumined from behind with gas, a soft and
enchanting hue upon the colossal figures displayed to the
sight. The chief work of art is Satan representca in a lean-
ing position glancing towards the garden of Eden, which is
seen through a gauze mist in the background, with the
figures of Adam and Eve reposing. The painting is the
first attempt to associate the scenic effect of the sculptor and
the artist in this peculiar manner.
The streets will be cleared at six o'clock, and barren'
erected, and at half past six o'clock the hall will be
opened for the reception of visitors. The number of
invitations has been confined to 2,400. The Mansion-
house and all the public buildings will be brilliantly illu-
minated. By the present arrangements her Majesty will
arrive at Temple Bar at half-past nine o'clock.

THE PENINStLAR .'ND ORIENT tt COMPANY'S
STESKEIt ErmiNc, Captain Evans, arrived at Southampton
yesterday. Iler dates are, Constantinople, June 10;
Smyrna, 21; Malta, 25; Gibraltar, 30; she brought large
ship letter bags from all the above places. She also had on
board a bag of letters from the west coast of Africa, having
picked up a sea pilot who had been on board the Jersey
Lass, bound from that coast to London. Among the pas-
sengers by the Enaine were 130 Polish and Ilungarian offi-
cers and men from the Dardanelles. Three of the officers
were Generals Bulhuryn and lelaikowski, and the Polish
Bishop Nieuradowski, the latter of whom fought with
the patriots in both the Polish and Hungarian revolutions.
leleikow.ki led the Polish division in the Hungarian war,
and was the bosom friend of Kossuth—Kossuth wrote a
farewell letter to him on the CPC of his departure. It was
written in French. and was dated from " Kutabja, Asia
Milieux, 7 Mai, Itidl," and was addressed to " My master
and esteemed friend." The letter breathed the tenderest
and most pathetic emotion., and was evidently written
with a trembling hand. Idzikowski and his compatriots
were liberated from Kutasah at the same time as Massaro.,
but they refused to leave Turkey, even to go on board an En-
glish steamer, until they had a guarantee from Sir Strat-
ford Canning that they should be secured from Russian
and Austrian treachery. During their stay in Turkey they
received letters from the Kutayah captive. stating that the
rigour of their captivity had been increased. The Turkish
government had, however, solemnly promised that Kos-
suth, Fenzel, Batthyany, and the Polish General Wysock
should be released on the llth September next
