ON MONDAY tasT, TOE CIIINEsE FAMILY, recently
arrived direct from Caiston by the British ship Lady Peel,
visited her Majesty, at Osborne, by the special request of
the queen, conveyed through Colonel Phipps. The party
consists of a Chinese gentleman, named Chung-Atai, fits
two wives, his sister-in-law, and a Chinese female attendant.
The three ladies possess the exceedingly small feet, eonsti-
, luting the peculiar characteristic of the females of the upper
ranks in the Chinese empire. The tinnily left London on
Sunday afternoon, and sleeping at Itadley'• Hotel at 2.4mth-
attipton, proceeded to the I -le of Wight by the mail steamer
,in Monday morning, the commander kindly eons-eying his
singular passengers to East Cowes, after completing his
voyage to West Cowes. The ladies, accompanied by Mr.
Chung-Atai. Mr. Crawfonl, who was their fellow-passenger
from China, and Mr. Lane, fur many years resident there,
proceeded to Osborne, by ter Majesty s desire, at half-past
eleven, and were received in the state drawing-room by
the Queen, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and each of
the younger brandies of the royal family, to whom they
were introduced by Mr. Ituumonol, jun., of the firm of
Messrs. W. I'. Hammond and Co. The junior wife of Mr.
Chung-Atai had the honour of singing to the Queen, whose
well-known proficiency as a musician naturally rendered
her Majesty desirous ..f hearing the unique performance of
the celestial lady. The elder consort of Chung-Atai pre-
sented her Majesty with a beautiful executed Daguerreo-
type, by Beard, of the interesting Chinese group ; and the
younger lady left with the Prineews Royal a pair of very
hantheinne lady's shoes, embroidered in gold by herself, and
the exact vise worn by her, vie., 2 inches lung by 1
inch broad, both of which offerings were most graci-
ously accepted. Ibis Royal Higbee-la Prince Albert, with
his proverbial affability, thinking the family would be
interested in the numerous plants and flowers of Chinese
origin abounding in the garden adjoining the drawing-
room, conducted his remarkable visitors round the terrace
and parterres, her Majesty and the royal children mean-
while being much amused at the helpless, and certainly in-
elegant, mode of walking of the ladies, the contortion of
their feet effectually preventeng any pedestrian exercises
beyond a very short walk. Royal Highness then
showed them the splendid encaustic-tiled corridor, and
lastly the large picture in the dining-room, representing the
family group of our beloved queen send her Royal Consort.
The gentlemen-in-waiting on her Majesty Ow endeavoured
to explain the use of the billiard table, by making a few
strokes, the covering being removed for that purpose. On
leaving the Palace, the party proceeded by invitation to the
residence of Lieut.-Colonel the lion. C. It. Phipps, where
they were introduced to the lion. Mra. Phipps, the Countess
of ])wart, and their families. They then returned to
Cowes in two carriages, gratified in the highest degree at
their reception, and reached London the same evening.

STATE OF TOE WOOD PAVEMENT IN THE NEW
ROA 11.—YeAerday, at the meeting of the St. Pancras Board
of Guardians' a special messenger from the Royal Mews
attended with the following letter :—" (I mmediate.)—Royal
Mews, Pimlico, Aug. 19.—Sir,—I am directed by the Master
of the Horse to infirm you that on the occasion of the
Queen's journey to Scotland on the '27th instant, her Ma-
jesty will pass from Baker-street along the New Road to
the Great Northern Railway, and I have to call your at-
tention to the dangerous state of the thoroughfare from
Button-square to King's-cross, in order that the necessary
steps may he taken for putting it in a proper and safe con-
dition by the day before-mentioned.—l am, sir, your obedt..
servant, G lIOUG E LEWIS, Sec. and Superintendent.—To
the Vestry Clerk, St. Pancras Parish."—Mr. Mortimore
Timpson moved, and Mr. Stockton seconded, that the New-
road be forthwith closed, which was carried uuanimoudy;
and the vestry clerk was instructed to write to the Master
of the home informing hint of the decision of the board,
which they were obliged to come to in consequence of the
dangerous state of the New-mad.
THE TOWER HAMLETS AND Mit. G. TIIOMPAON.—

Last evening Mr. Thompwon met a large body of his con-
stituents of the Shadwell, Wapping, and Itateliff districts,
at the Prince's School-room, Rudd', for the purpose of
affording explanations upon his recent protracted absence
from parliament. Mr. Thompson repeated the statements '
which he lately made on a similar occasion, and reported in
the Express, and at the conclusion of his address a re-
solution was put and carried, expressing the satisfaction of
those present with the explanation given. A shilling sub•
iscription was also recommended, to form a fund for remu•
nerating Mr. Thompson fur his attendance in the house.

EHRAW tin error of the press we were yester-
day made to speak of Mr. Glyn's policy tieing "in some
directions too expensive." Now on this subject we are, of
course, without materials to form any. sound opinion. What
we meant to say was, that it was occasionally too expansive—
a point on which there arc ample materials open to the
public, on which to come to a conclusion.—Doily Arms.
CONFERENCE OF THE NEW JERUSALEM CHURCH.—
Last evening an open meeting of the members of this body
of Christians was held at Freema.sons'-hall. The object of
its promoters appeared to be to bring into prominence the
views of truth and duty set forth in the writings of
Emanuel Swedenborg, which are also those of the New
Jerusalem Church. The mysticism peculiar to these is un-
favourable to any exposition of them here, were this the
place for the attempt. In the addresses delivered last
evening more stress was laid upon love than the acknow-
ledgment of positive doctrine as a test of Christian fellowship,
and a broad catholic spirit pervaded the resolutions. The
writings of Swedenborg are current throughout Europe
and America, their high, philosophical and speculative cha-
racter procuring them readers independently of their dog-
matic peculiarities, accordingly the audience and body of
speakers represented very fairly the proieut mixed ethno-
logical character of the population of London. The meeting
was addressed by the Revs. Messrs. J.H.Smithson, of Man-
chester; T. C. Shaw, of London ' • R. Story, of Dublin ;
Parry, of Ashton-under-Lyne ; C.Clissold, of Oxford; W.
Bruce, of Edinburgh; llaworth, of Salford; and Bayley,
of Accrington. The foreign speakers were Baron Dir.,
chenck liolmfield, of Copenhagen_; Dr. Tufel, of Tubingen ;
M. Le Bozo de Quago, of St. Arnaud ; and Mr. Prescott, of
j Cincinnati.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT WEST CAMEL.—
On Saturday last Miss Fearer, the second daughter of Mr.
Fearer, of West Camel, was inadvertently poisoned through
having taken arsenic which was prepared for her by her
sister for salts; the sum lying sister providentially escaped
the same fate; she had likewise mixed a portion for herself,
but perceiving the spoon becoming discoloured which was
used: for the occasion, it excited suspicion, and the awful
mistake was soon discovered. Surgical assistance was im-
mediately obtained, but to no purpose, death put an end to
the sufferings of the unfortunate young lady about ten
hours afterwards.— IVestern Flying Ant.
