A French band of 40 performers from the French
squadron furnished music at dinner. After dinner the

sated with blue lights and a display of fireworks.
To-morrow morning their Royal Highnesses leave early

Lady Stanley of Alderley and the Hon. Miss
Stanley are staying at Alderley Park, OMAR% Lord
Stanley of Aided., remains in town.
Mr. Mellon's promenade concerts at Covent-
garden Theatre are to begin on the 7th of next month.
L' A fri,:aine is positively to come out this evening
at the Royal Italian Opera.
The electors of Lambeth are doing a very public-
spirited thing—raining a subscription to pay all the election
expenses of Mr. Hughes. We (Spectator) understand that
Mr. Hughes has repeatedly asked for his election bills,
but csanot get them from his committee. The reply is that
it te their affair, not his, and that he will hear no more of
the expenses of the election. The money will be chiefly
raised, we believe, by a shilling subscription among the
working men.
The Poole Herald says that on the day of Mr.
Seymour's election for that borough be beard of his brother's
election for Totems ; that the next day he was present at
Proms and assisted his brother•ia-law, Sir H. Rawhnson, in
his election for that place ; and he afterward. worked in
the Hindon district, where be resides, and helped to secure
majority there for the liberal and suceodul member for
Routh Wilts, Mr. Grose.

In Tipperary, Mr. Gill, who repreeenta the
Fenian party, and was proposed by Father Kenyon, was
placed hors de eennhot by a creditor, who sent him to
prison. Mr. Moore and Alderman Dillon have been ro-
tund. Neither of them will give a factious opposition to
the government, though they will do what they con to
carry out the programme of the National Association.
The contest for Hertfordshire has been the closest
of all the °mitosis. The Hon. Mr. Cowper, it will be seen,
had 2,563 votes ; Sir Edward &doer Lytton, 2,475 ; Mr.
Sorties, 2,475 ; and Mr. Abel Smith, 2,241. Sir Edward
Erdwer Lytton and Mr. Sorters had, it will be iibeerved,
tke same number of votes.
The Record states that there is to be a petition
spinet Mr. Welrond's return for Tiverton. It is said
that his majority of three over Mr. George Denman was ob-
tained by his agents polling in his favour three lunettes.
We (Gardeners' Chronicle) have to announce
with regret the death of Mr. Henry Law, of Great Berk-
hampidissd, in the 88th year of his age. He was the father
of the present enterprising nurseryman and rose-grower of
that place, and may be said to have been the founder of
the business, from which he only retired about twelve
years ago. He was a man of wonderful activity and in-
dustry, and kind and considerate to all around him. He
was only occiaced to his bed a week, and could see to reed
even comparatively small print without spectacles till
within a few days of his death, which took place on the
evening of the 15th inst. He was one of the church-
wardens of Berkliampekead for a period of not less than 40
years. . . .

The A tAentrum says that money is coming into
the Palestine Exploration Fund, which already postmen
nearly 2,0001. The religious societies and the general public
are now invited to assist. The committee have screed to
commence their operettas by taking the antiquities of
Palestine first—by digging in the soil of Jerusalem and other
places. Captain Wilson has strive/ at Southampton from
the Ent, with hie drawings and observation, and the *in-
mates have requested him to make a report on the pro.
priety and feasibility of excavating in the Holy City. It is
proposed to consider this report eta meeting on Therein
next, and to take steps for sending oat Capt. Wilson and
his necessary assistants, with Jailer funds and more definite
instructions. The committee will meet in the Jerusalem-
chamber.
We (Herald) have much pleasure in being en-
abled to announce that diplomatic relation between the
Brazilian and British governments will be reestablished at
an early date. It is undernood that the government of
Bread hut accepted the latest propositions made by her
Majesty's ministers, and that thus the last obstacle to the
renewal of the old amity between countries whom interests
are ia so many points identical has bees removed.
Loan's Caiciar GROUND. —Considering that,
during the last fortnight, there has been not a soul in town,
it is wonderful bow fell Lord's Cricket Ground was this
day week. That it should so completely have become the
fashion to go to the Eton and Harrow match is a circum-
stance which is not without its drawbacks in the eyes of
• lover of cricket. It is natural enough that the (ticketing
world should go; that the past generations of public.
envoi men, again, and all the friends of the boys, should
crowd together on this particular afternoon is all es
it should be; and it is so doubt easier to field well
when • few thousand people are screaming at the top
of their voices. Bat, if the gams is to be played year after
year with soften it strikes us that we have bend just •
little too much about the magnificent national spectacle.
If all London is to go to the match, all London mast simply
have all the field to itself. AS it i. the ground has to be
roped, sod the bard hits can no loniter be run out. It is
a matter for serious speeulatin what will have to take
piece if the crowds MMOSIMA. they have at late years been
increasing, in spite of mush discomfort and • doubled
entranoefee. Either the boys mast adjourn to Sslisbury
Plain, or the game must be changed to croquet. The Mery-
-1 Inoue Club may rejoice while it amain its shillings in the
evening, but the simple truth is that the one public-school
match which attracts conspicuously the notice of the
publics fast being stifled by Wows popilarlty.—Saturday
