With the parliamentary votes issued this morn-
ing is a petition against the late return of Lord Eliot and
Mr. Montagu Chambers for Devonport. The petitioners l
a
allege that those two gentlemen, " each of them were, by
themselves and each of their agents, friends, and
partisans, guilty of bribery, treating, and undue influence
at the said election ; and that the said election and return
of them the said Lord Eliot and Montagu Chambers were
and are therefore wholly null and void."

THE CITY RECEPTION OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS
THE DUKE or Enn.BURGH.—The preparations for the re
ception of his Royal Highness Prince Alfred, Duke of
Edinburgh, in order to be presented with the freedom of
the City of London, are rapidly progressing and expected

erection of a temporary building, about 80 feet by 60 feet
and 40 feet in height. This is being covered with handsome
drapery, floored throughout, and laid with crimson cloth,
he. On either side are ranged a series of beautifully draped
and decorated seats, giving to numerous spectators a full
view not only of the civic androyal cortege on passing to the
hall, but also commanding the dais upon which the
ceremony of presentation will take place, and which is
being affixed near the main entrance to the hall, being
a like arrangement to that made for his Royal Highness
the Prince of Wales upon a similar occasion.
