WINDSOR, MONDAY.—Tho Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Lansdowne took their departure from the Castle
this morning.
The Queen and H.R.11. Prince Albert, attended
by their mite, left the Castle for Cashiobury-park, Herta,
on a visit to her Majesty the Queen Dowager, at five minutes
past three o'clock this afternoon. The Royal party occu-
pied three carriages and four, and was escorted by a party
of the let Life Guards. . _ _

The Royal party arrived at Cashiobury-park,
Herts, at a quarter-put five o'clock. Her Majesty was
escorted by the Hertfordshire Yeomanry. General Sir
Andrew Barnard (Clerk Marshall to the Queen Dowager)
attended the Queen on horseback through Cuhiobury-park.
Her Majesty the Queen Dowager accompanied by
H.R.H. the Prlneess of Hesse, and attended by the ladies
in waiting, and the Lord Chamberlain of her household
received her Majesty and her Royal Consort on their
arrival.

H.S.H. Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, arrived
at Cashiobury-park at ball-past six o'clock last evening from
town, and joined the august circle.

His Royal Highness Prince Albert has bestowed
the vacant brotherhood in the Charter-house on Mr. Come-
hue Webbe, whose claims as a man of letters none who
have read the " Glances at Life in City and Suburb," and
the " Papers of a Man about Town," will dispute. This is
the second nomination of literary men which his Royal
Highness has made to the same charitable foundation.
The Hon. Harriott Grimeton expired at as early
hour on Sunday morning, at her residence in Upper
Grosvenor-street, m her 70th year. The deceased was the
only surviving sister of the late Earl of Verulam. The
present Earl of Verulam succeeds to the deceased lady's
property, which is almost exclusively funded.

THE PoTATo Caor.—We have all heard of the
regiment in Spain, which, being broken in some battle by a
sudden charge of cavalry made under cover of a fog, mus-
tered rome down men, including officers, rank and file,
when the action was over. It was a melancholy sight. The
slaughtered heroes had a place in the despatches, figured in
the Gazette, and every newspaper of the day had its anec-
dotes of the deeds of valour performed by this or that
individual of the gallant band before he fell, and, in short,
the world was filled with their fame and ability. But o
this time, the lucky dogs were not sabred at all. The
next morning, when the men had had time to collect
and assemble from the several holes and corners to which
they had been driven by the sudden onslaught of
the enemy, they showed almost as extended a line as
ever when they were drawn rp on parade, the same fog
which led to their surprise having also covered their re-
treat. Their comrades in arms enjoyed the joke amazingly,
and, while the supposed dead heroes were embalmed in a
Gazette at home, they earned for themselves the sobriquet
of " the resurrection men " from the wags on the spot who
had seen " the dead alive again " with such comical rapidity.
We are happy to have to-day another ease of " the dead alive
agaia" to announce to the trembling public. We speak of
the potato crop. We are informed by our letters from the
eastern counties and other quarters that the failure is by no
means as great as was anticipated before the farmers began
to dig them up. When the tops were all withered and
blighted it was concluded that all below ground likewise
would be a total loss. These fears have not been
realised, and we are most happy to hear it and
to tell it. A third of the crop in some places, and in
others half, or even more, will be saved. This, to be
sure, is bad enough; but it is so much better than was
expected that we hail it as very satisfactory intelligence.
And there is also another comparative advantage this year
over last, namely, that we seem to know the worst of it at
once. The potatoes do not rot after being got up in the
rapid and extraordinary manner in which they were effected
last autumn. They were then so saturated with wet from
the 1011 a and heavy rains, that nothing could check the dis-
, ease. a his year the fine weather has given them a better
chance, and the consequence is as we have described it. The
same accounts tell us that the wheat,now that it is got in and
partially threshed, turns out to be most splendid in qual;ty,
but we regret to add, deficient in quantity. On the low
moist soils the yield has been very great; but this has been
so balanced by the poor crops on the higher ground that an
average will by no means be reached on the whole.—

PROVINCIAL.

HATDOCY LODGE LLT(7IIIJ3YLVX.—In the Liverpool
Police-court on Monday, Mr. Rushton, the stipendiary ma-
gistrate, seeing one of the paid overseen in court, inquired
whether the lunatics from that parish, now in Haydock-
lodge, had been visited by the churchwardens and overseers ?
The reply
.was, " Not very lately, but I believe they are
about to visit." Mr. Rushton rejoined, " Then they ought
to go. Do you see what deaths have taken plan there-
-112 out of 444 in one year? You should go immediately.
It is a bad busineas." The conversation then dropped. This
circumstance led the reporter of the Times to make some
inquiries, " and ho ascertained," says that paper, " that
the parish of Liverpool had been in the habit of sending
pauper lunatics se Haydock-lodge, to be under the care of
Mr. Mott, from the first opening of that now notorious este-
' blishment. The average number annually maintained there
has been 43 or 44, for whom up to last year 7s. 6d. each was
paid weekly, but this year a reshctu of 6d. has taken
place. We have learned, too (continues the same journal).
that the unfortunate imbeciles from Liverpool have formed
a large proportion of the deaths, upon the enormous number
of which Mr. Wakley was so indignant, for in one
year there were fifteen, and in another year twelve. But
the mast remarkable fact which has been elicited in cense-
guence of Mr. Rushton's question to the overseer is, that
since August last, exactly 12 months ago, no visit, omclal or
otherwise, has been paid by
.tbe churchwardens and over-
seen to the unhappy beings in Haydock-lodge, over whom
they are supposed to enema,* a double care. The present
holders of those offices were appointed at Baster ; yet even
the subsequent disclosures in Mr. 0. Roberts's petitition to
the Rowe of Commons do not seem to have induced them to
turn their attention to the subject, except perhaps with a
view to the reduction of 6d. per week in the cost of each
proper. Probable some further questions in open court by
Mr. Rushton and.the intervention of the press will stimulate
their seal, for it is very certain that the rate-payers of Liver-
pool were in utter ignorance ofthisomission in official duty."
' ANTeLoPE" SAIL AND STEAM PACILET.—The Antelope,
an iron vessel, fully ship-rigged, and with a screw propeller
as an auxiliary to her sail propulsion, made a trial-trip which
proved to be most fying, inasmuch as it shows that the
judicious • of wails and steam acting on the screw
will, is all pgababllitg, and that soon too, effect a revolution

Emir WHEAL Rosa MINE..-=5; Thursday se'nnight, the
hody of Luke Phillips, aged nineteen, ono of those who lost
their lives by the late accident, was found in the ninety
fathom level, and about twenty-seven fathoms from Michell s
engine shaft. There are still two bodies remaining in the
mine, those of William Pearce and John btephens. In
addition to the 6001. originally subscribed by the adventu-
rers, • further sam of 5001. was voted by them last
week, for the immediate relief of the sufferers by the late
deplorable accident. Cargoll adventurers have also contri-
buted 1001. for the same benevolent purpose. The public
subscription list does not advance so fast as was am icipated
by many ; but from all sources about 1,6001. have been
already contributed.
A ruomistNo VEIN or SLATE, of considerable extent,
and first-rate quality, has lately been discovered within a
mile of Camelford, on the road to the celebrated Delabole
Quarries, being, in all probability, a continuation of the
same stratum of rock.

HUDDERSFIELD, DEC.: 22:111-The year is fast draw-
ing to a close, and in consequence not much doing in the
Wool tiade ; the little that is done is taken oil more readily
at former rates; and, no doubt, if a spirited demand sets in
for manufactured goods, that the raw material will go up.

EQUITY COURTS.—YEarmtosT.
Before the Loed Chancellor.
RICHARDSON V. Mouse,—Mr. Cooper and Mr. Daniell
moved to discharge an order of Vice-Chancellor Knight
Bruce, directing a reference to the Registrar and Mr. Berry,
one of the clerks of records and writs, to ascertain whether
Mr. Beethtdme, the plaintiffs solicitor, was a solicitor of the
court, and had taken out his certificate, The report made
by these gentlemen was, that Mr. Beethulme had not taken
out his certificate, and his Honour had, therefore,
ordered that the plaintiff's proceedings in the cau'e
should be stayed, and that the plaintiff should pay all tho
costs connected with the inquiry. It was now submitted
that no instance of a similar order could be found, which
was an innovation upon the practice of the court.—Mr.
Toiler appeared in support of the order of the Vice-Chan-
oellor.
The Lord Chancellor saidkhe order was open to revers'
remarks; but there was ont irregularity upon the faco of it
which rendered unnecessary the consideration of any other
defects. It appeared that the matter had been before the
• court on two occasions, and an order had been made on the
last occasion that the plaintiff's proceedings in the suit
' should be stayed, and that he should pay the costs. Now,
• this order was made without notice to the plaintiffs, and be-
hind his back. It was impossible that such an order could
be supported. It must be rescinded, and with costs.

NIANUFACTURES.

------• -
Ht urltltsptsLu, DEc. 22.--There have been more
merchants iu our Piece Hall to-day than for some time past,
but their operations have been very limited. Yet we look
upon their pre. nee as something indicative, and hope that
they will operate more freely when the new year sets in.
The clothiers in this part of the country begin to think that,
if the Amy& ins art upon the principle of reciprocity, more
business must be done to America in the ensuing year than
for many years past, seeing th.tt they !vote sent more grain
into the United Kingdom daring the last few months than
for nuy previous whole year. Prices, for an kind• of Woollen
goods, remain firm, with a tendency to advance.

RAILWAY NEWS.

Yesterday there was n fair and steady market for
railway stock and scrip, with a certain amount of improve-
ment in some lines, and an almost general firmness in others.
The absence of extraordinary fluctuations, in the one way
or the other, may be taken as the evidence of that more solid
business which is done to order, and therefore no small por-
tion of it for investment. The Scotch lines were firm, or
improved, except the Scottish Central. West Ridings were
in favour. East Indians 1 better. French lines recovered
slightly. London and North Western stock was dune at 200.
The Liverpool market was ts,lembly firm, but without
much business being done. Amongst the old stocks Preston
and Wyre advanced to 341 for the old shares, and 41 to 41
for the halves A. Birmingham and Oxford advanced at one
time to 51, but closed rather dull at 51 pm. On the whole
the market was in a very uncertain state. Little was done
in investments, and oonsequewly prices were very much
jo
bbers.
The on the daily wants of the
The Manchester chase market was again languid and
heavy. Comparatively few sales were effected. With no
disposition to force, still prices exhibited a slight tendency
downwards.
There was no material al'eration in the market at Bir-
mingham—prices remained stationary, and a tolerable amount
of business was transacted.
At Leeds there was an active market, without any great
I alteration in price. Leeds and Dewsburys advanced from 3
to 31 pm. ; Manchester and Leeds Extensions from 1i a. 6d.
to 20t. pm. ; Newcastle. and Darlington Extensions declined
from 121 to 111; New East Lancashire, from 31 to 31;
Ormakirks, from 41 to 4 pm. ; North British (Carlisle
Branch) closed at Cis.
The Bristol market was again firm, buyers preponderating.

Great Western New, 51 to di pm. ; Bristol and Exeter, 6
pm. ; Bristol and Exeter New, 41 pm. ' • Bristol and Glou-

were instrumental in keeping hint in the state of excitement
in which he is.
The Lord Chancellor said he wee not in powenion of all
the facts in the knowledge of which the late Lord Chan-
cellor made the order of allowance, but, if any of that
allowance remained, it was reasonable, in his opinion, that
such surplus should be applied in the payment of the debts;
but he also agreed in the suggestion that a list of the debts
should he famished to the committee.
Mr. ltolt submitted to his lordship's observation. With
reference to the hearing of the petitions next term, he ex-
pressed a hope that no further affidavits would be made on
either side.

Mr. Michell could not give any pledge on that, because
the lunatic's conduct may make further afficlivits necessary:
The Lord Chancellor said he could not make any order in
that matter, so as questions relating to the interests of lung•
tics and infants, there could not properly be any limit of
information to the court.—His lordship sat till 5 o'clock.

MONEY MARKET.

WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The funds took an unexpected start this morning.
Consols were quoted at the commencement of husiness 931
to 1, the same as yesterday, but sometime afterwards they
advanced to to 1, and shortly before the close of the
market to 931 to 4 for the opening, at which rates they left
off, having actually been done at 91. It is probable that
the recent failure in the house of Mr. Hawkins, referred to
at the time without naming the party, may have had some-
thing to do with this rise. He was what is technically
called a "bear " of Console, that is, bad sold on speculation
to deliver to the amount as reported of 120,0001. Those to
whom he had sold, and who in their turn must have
resold a large proportion of these speculative purchases,
being thus lett uncovered have had to come into the market
and get into stock to the amount to meet their own obliga-
tions. As the circumstances would be well known from the
books or accounts of the defaulter, the jobbers raised the
I price' on the parties thus coming forward to replace them
selves in stock. It is possible also that the improvement in
foreign exchange yesterday, may have had some influence in
giving a firmer tone to the dealings. Reduced Threes
advanced to 941 to 1. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. to
95/ to 1. Bank Stock was 2051 to 61. Exchequer Bills Bs, to
lls. premium.
In foreign stocks the transactions have been unimportant,
but in some of the more speculative an advance in prices
may be noted. Mexican are now quoted 24 to 1, and were
done at 241. Brazilian, 861 to 71. Spanish Fives, 261 to 1 ;
the Threes, 371 to 81. Portuguese. 381 to 91. DutchTwo-and-
tallalf per Cents, improved to 602 to 1; the Fours, 921 to 31.
