At twenty minutes before two o'clock her Majesty
and the Prince Consort, accompanied by a very nu-
merous suite, left Buckingham Palace. /ler Majesty
and the Prince occupied the state carriage, drawn by
eight cream-coloured horses, richly cayarisoncd.
The royal suite were conveyed in six of the royal
carriages, each drawn by four horses. The guard of
honour consisted of a troop of the Ist ltegt. of Life
Guards. As soon as the state carriage appeared out-
side the gates her Majesty was received with every
demonstration of loyalty, and was greeted most en-
thusiastically along the whole line of route. On the
departure of the pcx-ession the band played the'
National : Anthem, which: was repeated by the
band at St. James's Palace on the cavalcade passing.
On entering the Horse Guards her Majesty was re-
ceived with a royal salute by the troops on duty, the
band playing the National Anthem. On the corb,ye
arriving at the !louse of Lords her Majesty was re-
ceived by the great officers of state, who conducted
her with the usual ceremony to the throne.

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

John Shelton, the driver of one of the cheap Paddington
omnibuses, war summoned before Mr. Hardwick for da-
maging one of the omnibuses belonging to the high fare
comny.
Geoparge Temkin, driver of the association omnibus, said
the defendant, when near Regent-strect, deliberately pulled
his omnibus upon witness's omnibus, and nearly cut three
of the spokes of the hinder wheel in two.
The defendant said the accident was not of his seeking.
The truth was the high-priced omnibuses had tirade a dead
set at the cheap omnibuses to run them off the road. The
high fare company put omnibuses before and behind every
cheap omnibus to " poll " them, as it was termed, so that
no passenger could get into the cheap omnibuses without
danger. rho complainant had polled him iu this manner
all the way from Tottenham-court-road, and the accident
that happened was entirely owing to the conduct of the
complainant.
Mr. Hardwick said he could easily understand why the
old omnibus proprietors should desire to drive the cheap
omnibuses off their road. As far as competition between
omnibus proprietors was concerned he did not care a straw
about the matter, but if that opposition was so conducted
as to endanger the lives of passengers inside and to intimi-
date or frighten persons outside, he should deal with of-
fenders with the utmost severity. He should not only send
them to prison without fine, but stop their licenses.
The summons was dismissed.

GERMANY.

VIENNA, Nov. 8.
It is once more officially announced in the litho-
graphed organ of the government, that the Emperor,
having heard the Reichsrath on the subject, has
sanctioned the new tariff for the Austrian dominions.
The period for its publication is not vet settled, and
remains to be decided by the ministry and the
Itcicharath. Considering that the appearance of this
important document has been so loudly called for, and
is imperatively necessary to put an end to the state
of uncertainty in which the trading and manufac-
turing interests of the empire have been for the
last twelve months, it does appear remarkable
that, though it has been deliberated on by
the bureau chefs, the ministry, and the Reichsrath,
until every one of these officials must have been
nauseated, though it has finally received the sanction
of the highest authority, yet it is not at once

TURKEY.

The news givenby the Oat-Delitche Post of Vienna,
of the resignation of Ali Pasha, Minister of Foreign
.Iffairs, is not confirmed. Nevertheless, the health
of that minister is mentioned as in a critical state;
and Fuad Pasha is spoken of as likely to succeed
him.
The affair of the Egyptian railway is considered
as terminated. The viceroy has confined himself to
demanding the authorization of the Porte, and main-
tains a complete reserve on other questions. The
Porte has grunted the authorization.
The Czar has written an autograph letter to the
Porte, in which, without abandoning the pretensions
of the Greek clergy, he admits the right of the
Latins to a common use of the holy places and all
the privileges hitherto by them enjoyed.
Ilalil Pasha, the new governor of the Archipelago,

lion, but from what he was told by three gentleman he
returned to Great Russell-street, when he round the pri-
soner driving away as fast as he could, his horse being in a
gallop. He followed, overtook the cart, end fund in it the
box which had been stolen. It appeared that an accomplice
of the prisoner had taken the box from the prosecutor's'
cart, the prisoner being in readiness a ith another cart to
carry off the plunder; and, whilst the prosecutor was going
towards Russell-square in quest of the man whom the pri-
soner told him had gone in that direction with a box on his
shoulder, the thief got the box into the priaoner's cart,
when the latter tried to get off with it. He was given into
custody, and the horse and cart, which had been hired,
were given up to the owner.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
An officer of the F division said that recently robberies
precisely similar to the present had been committed to

J. Macmillan a private of the Sappers and Miners in
the East India Company's service, was charged by Mr.
Tamer, draper, 18, Ludgate-hill, with having improperly
obtained admission into his premises.
Mr. Turner was roused about half-past two yesterday
morning by a noise is his kitchen, and, on going down
stairs, found one of his men-servants and two of his maids
st,ll up ' • and, as there was every appearance of their
having had company, he made a search, and in the bed-
room of one of his man.servauts he found the prisoner
asleep iu bed. He found some difficulty in waking him,
and gave him a sound flogging with a hors:mhip. The
prisoner asserted that he had been salted to sleep there by
one of the servants, who acknowledged that he admitted
him into the house in consequence of his having been locked
out of his own lodging.
It appearing that this was really the fact, and that the
prisoner was of good character, and had no telonious intent
iu going into Mr. 'lurner's house, he was discharged.
Joseph Smith, a respectable-looking middle-aged malt,
Was charged with having committed an indecent assault on
a lad of 18, named Joseph Cary, a bricklayer.

turning from Leyton with a friend! heard shots tired in tie
direction of the Marshes. I looked in the direction of tkis
repert, and saw the prisoner and several others shooting
rabbits. I advanced towards the spot with the deceased-,
who had just arrived on the ground. I was on prisoner's
left hand—deceased on his right. Prisoner lowered his
gun in an inclining position towards deceased. The stock
had scarcely touched his foot when the piece went off.
Deceased turned a complete summersault, and fell dead,
having been wouuled in the neck. I said, "Good God!
you have shot the man." l'risoner replied, "No, no, sat
me; my gun has not gone off." I saw the smoke from the
gun. Others were tiring at the time.

TIM COMMIB9IONS/9 Or CUSTOMS TO THE LONDOM

Sir,—With reference to my letter of the 30th ult.,
aeknowledgina the receipt of your letter of the preceding
day, in which you signified the request of the directors to
beinformed whether it was the intention of this board to
proceed with any of the remaining suits pending against
the company, in respect of the goods under seizure, and
intimated that the directors would be glad to learn that
proceedings were to be discontinued, expressing at the
same time their hope that confidence and harmony might
be established between the board and the dock company,
I have it in command to acquaint you that the board,
cordially concurring in the desire expressed by the com-
pany for the restoration of confidence and harmony between
the two departments, to the adv.intage of the public service
and the welfare of the commercial interests of the port of
London. and being equally anxious for the maintenance of
friendly relations for the future, lost no time in transmit-
ting your letter to the Lords of the Treasury, with
a recommendation that the proceedings might be ended,
and the goods under seizure released from detention, upon
payment of a nominal fine ; at the same time suggesting the
propriety of establishing regulations to prevent a recurrence
of the irregularities which have existed, with which view
they signified to their lordships that it was their intention
to confer with the directors thereon, trusting, in reliance
upon the assurances contained in your letter, that the
board would meet with the cordial eo-operation of the
directors in the adoption of such regulations.
And the board having this day received their lordships'
commands with reference to the board's recommendation, I

am desired to transmit, for the information of the directors,
• copy of their lordships' order, as the most convenient
mode of fully conveying to the directors the views and de-
termination of their lordships.
I am, sir, your must obedient servant,

ARDROSSAN RAILWAY.

It appears that this railway is to be disposed of to
the Glasgow and South Western Railway Company. It
extends from the harbour at Ardrosaan, on the Ayrshire
rn ist, to the Kilwinning station of the Glasgow and South
Western, and thus by the railway and harbour shortens the
sea eoyag. between Glasgow, England, and the north of
Ireland. The Ardrosesn line was intended to form part of
a scheme which was projected in the year 1844. The price
will be paid by the creation of new stork in the Glasgow
and South Western Company, and the Azdrossan Company
witi he di.solved. Parliamentary notices have been giren
far a bill to legalise the troamoctica.

MUSIC.

LONDON SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.

Last evening this society began its performances
for the season at Exeter Hall, by the production of Handel's
Oratorio of " Belshazzar," a work almost entirely unknown
to the musical world. It has, indeed, never held a high
place among the works of its immortal author. It seems
to have been coldly received when originally brought out
by himself; and, since his day, there are very few
traces of its performance. A few years ago it was
produced by the Sacred Harmonic Society ; but, if we
remember rightly, it was never repeated. Not only has
it been thus thrown aside as a whole, but it does not contain
a single air or chorus which, taken separately, has attracted
attention. Nor is it surprising that this should be the case,
for none of Handel's oratorios betray so much torpor of
imagination or such a lack of inspiration and feeling. It
shows (it could nut do otherwise) the h end of the great
muter ; but the process of composition seems often to have
been little better than purely mecharical. The airs are
filled with stereotyped phrases and dry divisions ; and the
choruses, though masterly specimens of counterpiint, never
rise to the graudeur and sublimity which we find in his
peat efforts.
The subject of this oratorio might have made a fine mu-
sical drama had the poet known how to treat it. But
Handel was unfortunate in his poets, and not well able
to estimate the merits of their performances. " Belshazzar"
is certainly one of the dullest of them; and yet wo find
Handel, in a letter to his " poet," expressing great appro-
bation of the work, and calling it a " very tine and sublime
oratorio." We can scarcely imagine a more suggestive sub-
ject than the fall of Babylon, with its accompanying inci-
dents—the portentous handwriting on the wall, its espla-
natioa by the Prophet Daniel, and the destruction of the
infatuated monarch iu the midst of feasting and revelry.
But the writer has turned these materials to no account :
the language is fiat and prosaic, and the long, dull solilo-
quies and dialogues were sufficient to baffle the greatest
musical genius. Handel was obliged to throw a large por-
tion of it into accompanied recitative—a form of composition
well suited to the stage, where it has the advantage of dra-
matic action; but in the oratorio, uuless very sparingly
used, it is always monotonous and tiresome; its tediousness
being always increased by the slow and heavy manner in
which it is delivered by our oratorio singers—even the best
of them.

The performance of last evening was worthy of praise.
The music had evidently beenlwell rehearsed ; the choruses
were sung with precision and smoothness, and the baud
accompanied with sufficient delicacy. The solo singers,
Miss Birch, Miss Dolby, Lockey, and Mr. Lawler, did
what could be done fur the songs, but were quite unable to
impart to them anything like warmth and interest.

that one effect of the prosed arrangement would be to
release the nroprietors rrom a liability of 35,0001., to which
they were then subject. In the course of the discussion, it
, was stated by Mr. Hill, • director, that the command of

sir,—Amongst the various prop estioas *gloated to the
110NOBIBIBMINI lOC the admission of visitors to the world's
emporium, whit* Is so shortly to display its attractive
wooden to admiring thousands, I cannot coseeive any of so
ableotionable a character as that of free admission. Allow
me to make a suggestion. From the gnat influx end variety
of Melton throughout the whole day, a gnat quantity of
duet and dirt mut unavoidably be brought into, and carried
through every portion of the buildiog, and which will
require more rims for hung cleansed and kept in order,
than toe few noun before the opening, and atter the closing
of the door,—morniog and evening—will admit of being
effectually performed. I would therefore, with this ohject
la view, open the exhibition five days in the week ealy, sad
every lia'utday it should be closed for the purpose of
cleansing and arreoging say articles which may require
It. I would divide the week into f clause, each of
which shall be open to gray person who may choose to pay
the fee of admission for that day ; and, as the whole of the
establishment may be presumed to be cleaner on Monday
taiga on any other day, 1 would tame Monday for the first
dam, Tuesday for the second, Wednesday for the third, and
They'd*, and Friday foe the fourth clam, while the rates of
admission world. I Wok, be quite unobjectionable, and as
the names of all who have already contributed towards the
eapeaso of the building are known to their respective com-
mitters, I would eugg.at that free tickets of admission be
given to t►e amount of the whole or hell their contribution,
commencing with thou who have ►aid fire shillings and
upwards Soch tickets not to be traasfsrable, and to admit
the subscriber and hie party for one day only, and the
somber of the party may h., to the fell amount of the
insburiptioe ; no tickets of this kind to embrace a second
day, though the full mallet may not have been required for
t►e first itsy's admission. The classes should be arnagal

WINDOW TAX AND HOUSE TAX.

TO TUN IMITOI OP THE IMPRESS.

Six,—No tax was ever in universally condemned
as the window tax, but on its abolition I trust the legislature
will be careful not to commit injuries. It is said that a
hoses tax is to be substituted, and that for this to be effectual
it mast be levied on landlords, and as many pubic writer,
and several newspapers are in favcur of this proposition I beg
to state my position, in the way of protest. My net income
is a little more than 4001. per annum, and is barely sufficient
to support myself and family ; it arises from the rental of
four houses in London, all of which are let on lease. The
window tax now paid in respect of these four houses 'mounts
to about 401. per annum, and the proposed house tax at 2s.
in the pound will amount to the same sum as nearly as pas
sib'', but the proposed alteration will remove the payment
of the tax of 401. per annum from the shou:ders of my
tenants to my own, and the effect of this alteration will be
that in relieviog my tenants from the window tax the legis.
lotus will at the same time relieve my country from my
presence, for I mast go with my family, most unwillingly,
to spend what may ba left of my income in France sr Ger-
many.—l am, sir, your obedient servant,

The government and the committee on the bill on the

directors of all the political journals of Madrid, in
order to hear their opinions on the said measure. It
is understood that the bill to be brought in for the
settlement of the foreign debt will be entirely
founded on the basis of that proposed by M. Beltrsn

IN RR BLACKBURN.

Mr. Crompton moved to Me an information in the nature

what authority be exercised the otßze of town c,uncillor of
Newcastle-upon-Tyne ; the objection being that he was
concerned in contracts contrary to the provisions of the
Municipal Corporation Act. It appeared that ne was the
proprietor of a local paper, in which the advertisements of
letting of the corporation lande, and for the revision of the
burgess lists and other lists were insert.d, and was in the
habit of supplying the corporation with newsppen.
Mr. Justice Brle—l suppose the corporation do not expend
the borough funds in buying newspapers?
Mr. Crompton—l don't know how that may be. Black-
burn being also a stationer and printer, was employed to
supply "materials" fir the gaol, which is expressly contrary
to the provisions of the 7th Wm IV , ano 1 Victoria, such
materials being printed notices, forme, and dietaries.

Mr. Hogging, Q C., moved for a rule calling upon the
above company to sho a why a writ of mandamus should not
be United, commanding the officers of the compeny to pto
dace to Mr. Cameron, • shareholder, he Wing 11,000 shares,
the books of the c impany, and to allow Wm to inspect the
same. By the deed of settlement of the company, the direc-
tors are to keep certain books, at the places which they stall
appoint, and to allow the audit tr and any shareholders (but
ao other person) to have hill liberty to inspect the some,
and make any extracts or copies front them. In
July, 1850, a meeting of sharehol lers took place, and on
August 24th, Mr. Cameron called at the office for the purpose
of inspecting the books, and was by the buokeeper referred
to the secretary, by whom hie application oat refused and
his right denied. The applicant was the lessor of the mine
for the sum of 150,0001., but that sum woe not all paid
in cash, but the residue was taken in shares and the company
kept a debtor and creditor account, in which they gave
Cameron credit for alt calls made upon the shares. He had,
therefore, • right to see the bucks, and had ao other means of
compelling the production except by mandamus.
Mr. Justice Erie asked whether there was any precedent
for the application?
The blaster mentioned the case of the Wexford and

ml ELECTION OF Bomovon OFFICBISS.

In this cue a rule ler a quo wart unto had been granted on
' the 23rd November last, calling on Samuel Sidney to show
by what autholity he ez.rcised the office of town councillor
of the borough of Wakefield ; the objection to the election
being that some of the voters had been personated, and the
voting papers forgeries, which had tut been discovered until
after the declarati .n of tile poll by the proper officers. Upon
this motion coming on to make the rule absolute, it was
stated by

Mr. Cowling that Mr. Sidney was quite willing to resign,
but thought, if the rule was made aboolute, be ought to be
relieved hem the costs, and that he would do all that he could
to obviate the difficulty that had arisen.
Mr. Crompton stated that no terms could be made, u
it would look like collusion, and the object of the party
moving in the matter was not orly to vitiate the present
election, but also to claim the election himself, and that this
could only be done by going through the regular process,
namely, information in nature of quo warrant°, disclaimer
upon the record and judgment thereon, or judgment of ouster
by default, and then a writ of mandamus to the corporation
to admit the Waimea,. That a resigeation could not apply
to this case, for the party in possessi•in has nothing to resign.
Mr. Cowling prol.ored that the same Course should be
adopted as was done in " B. gins v. Appleyard."
Some further discussion enausd, and
