THE EXPRESS, MONDAY

_

royal table was select, es it was only provided for seven per-
sons. , In the absence of the Queen, dancing was deferred,
as thevompany either repaired to the Great Hall, to partake
of supper, or to the Winter Dining Room, in which was a
long table, provided with the lighter description of refresh-
ments, Her Majesty and her final Consort retired from
the supper table precisely at one o'clock, and forthwith de-
parted to the privacy of their apartments. The majority of
the visitors returned to the rile where dancing was re-
sumed with increased spirit, but at a quarter to two the ball
was brought to a conclusion by a country dance. Thus the
festivity of the night closed, and we need not say that no
person -honoured by a visit to the gay scene departed without
a high opinion of the princely hospitality of the noble
marquis.
All the arrangements were faultless, both within the
; mansion and without. The regularity observed by the ear-
riages was mainly owing to the proper course adopted by ,
Inspector Otway, and the able body of police under his
direction, who had been on duty at the house during the
Queen's sojourn.
This morning everything was significant of the approach-
ing departure of the Queen. At the early hour of 6 o'clock,
the Duke of Rutland left for Cheveley Park, Cambridgeshire,
to receive a shooting party.
After breakfast this morning his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, accompanied by the Marquis of Salisbury , the Earl
spencer, Lord Charles Wellesley, Mr. James Balfour and
Viscount Ingestre went out shooting in the plantations in the
northern park. Saddle-horses were in readiness to take the
party to that remote district of the domain. The Prince •
and party were absent until one o'clock, and the four guns
succeeded in killing above 300 head of game. The Prince
was, as usual, fortunate, the Marquis of Salisbury keeping
his Royal Highness's return. The Earl Spencer killed
51 heed.
Her Majesty, in the absence of the Prince, was engaged
some time in the forenoon in the inspection of the vali.able
collection of historical documents in the library, ranging
over a period of more than sixty years—namely from 1569
to 1612, a most interesting period in our national prosperity.
The librarian, among other rare manuscript documents, had
the honour to show the Queen a draft of the forty-two
articles of Edward VI., with the superscription of that pious
monarch; the first council-book of Queen Mary; Cardinal
Wolsey'sinstructions to the Ambassador sent to the Pope by
Henry VIII., with that eminent churchman's autograph;
the original draft of the proclamation of Secretary Cecil,
used at the amnion of James I.; and a very amusing
Pedigree of Queen Elizabeth, emblazoned (date 1569), by
which the ancestry of that sovereign is exhibited as traced
to Adam. The Queen expressed herself much gratified at
the inspection of these original records, particularly by those
above alluded to. It was expected that her Majesty would
have gone over the library on Friday, but her time was so
much occupied that her Majesty was obliged to defer her
visit till this morning.
Shortly after the return of the Prince Consort and party
front their shooting excursion, luncheon was announced in
the winter dining-room.
It bad been appointed, the noble marquis having con.
suited the pleasure of the Queen and Prince, that just pre-
vious to leaving, her Majesty and his Royal Highness
wouilliplant two oak saplings, to perpetuate the royal visit.
At -past two the Queen and Prince Consort, accompanied
by e Marquis of Salisbury and the guests at haulms',
descended from the east wing to the Hower gardens facing
that part of the mansion. The Queen first performed the
n ceremony, assisted by the noble Marquis, and his
Royal Htghness then proceeded to plant his young tree
at a abort distance from that recently placed by her M+Oesty.1
Her Majesty and his Royal Illhaess Prince Albert front
thence repaired to the cloisters, and after taking an affec-
tionate leave of Lady Mildred Hope and Lady Blanche Bal-
four, were conducted to the royal carriage in waiting at the
south porch. The wort of the South Harts Yeemeary was
drawn up in tho court-yard, and when her Msjesty had been
assisted to her carriage by the noble host, the military
formed on sash side. At twenty minutes to &breathe Queen
and Prince departed, the band of the Herti militia striking
up " God save the Queen," in the cloisters. The Marquis
of Salisburv, on borsebaCk. preceded the Queen's carriage,
and escorted her Majesty as far as St. Albano. Copt- Paris's
troop escorted her Majesty se far la St. Albans, when they
were relieved by the troop under the command of Captain
Gausses. On reaching Watford, they were succeeded by
' Captain Halsey, M.P., and his troop, by whom the royal
cortege was escorted to Uxbridge.
V 1 understand that before her Majesty left Hatfield
House, Lady Mildred Hope Ind Lady Blanche Balfoar
received from the Queen's hand as a sosseertir a valuable pair
of bracelets as a token of her regard.
In closing our notice of the gay festivity during the last
three days at Hatfield House, on the occasion of the Queen's
viat, we must bear testimony to the laudable, and further to
say successful, exertions of the townspeople to render a suit-
able display of loyalty. Not only were the hoaxes and tri-
umphal arches illuminated by coloured lamps on Thursday
night, but also on Friday, and the latter day might he eons-
dered • holiday with all but the tavern-keepers, who had a
fair share of business from the thousands of strangers col-
, lected from all parts, particularly Hertford.

The 43rd of Geo. 111., cap. 80, wLleh proddsi Me the better
payment of incumbents within the City of Laudon, gave no
power of distress to the Waister in reopee4uf emeosents of
this kind, but only to the pubes who holt the rates, and if
no rate was made the minister would have no means of ob-
taining payment. He hoped if the bsnkter retained the
name that he would grant a case for appeid. The barrister,
cm referring to the act, observed that the rate appeared to be,
levied not on the person, but on the houses, buildings, and_
hereditaments within the parish. As the minister would
thus derive his stipend from the hereditament° of the parish
it could not be deemed a personalty ; and he perceived that'
the Ilth section of the act gave power to the Lord Mayor, or
any other magistrate of the City, to grant a warrant of distress
in case of don-payMent of the rate,—not only against the
goods of the party liable, but also against those of all the
occupier; of the premises assessed: Ibis, therefore, was un-
doubtedly a charge upon the land. He saw no ground for
a case. At a later period of the day Mr. James obtained leave
* renew his application for an appeal ease on Monday.—
Kr, G. Hudson, M.P., who claimed for a share in a freehold
house in Angel-place, Allhallows, was objected to by the
, liberals; but, on the prodiction of a written declaration
' from the hon..memher, showing *lee sad possession, the
vote was allowed. In several instances it was complained
that qualified voters were disfranchised, or put to great ex-
pense and inconvenience In attending to defend their votes,
in consequence of the overseers having objected on no other
grounds than change of residence. It was sunested that the
only effectual cure for this extra:oilleird proceeding was, in all
eases where such objections were made, either to disallow the
overseers' expenses, or punish them by line. The barrister,
who appeared to concur in this suggestion, observed, that
the overseers should only object where they bad reasonable
ground far supposing that there was no sufficient qualifica-
tion. The remaining perishes of the City of London will
be taken to-day, at the Vice-Chancellor's Court, Lincoln's-
inn.
PROVINCIAL—EAST GLOCCEBTESSIIIRE.--„The
remit af the revision loss become • subject of dispute. The
Cheikaafasm Examiner, which is in the Liberal interest,
states the gain of that party to be 163; whilst a correspondent
of the Gloucestershire Chronicle, on the Conservative aide,
makes such an analysis of the revision as leaves the Liberals
only 31 new votes.
Yoax.—R. Wharton, Esq., barrister, held his
court at the Guildhall, on Tuesday last, for revising the pm-
liarnentary lists of voters. The remit of the revision is a ma-
jority of 46 in favour of the Liberals.
LICWPIELD.—TweIve new votes have been added
to the Liberal lists in this borough.
