The Priam of Wm.= replied to the address in
the following terms :—" My Lord Rector and
Professors, I thank you for your expee•oos of
devoted loyalty to her Majesty the Queen, and
of dutiful attachment to the Royal Family.
It affords me the greatest satisfaction to be-
come a member and graduate of your
university, and, at the same time, to visit
a city the close connexion of which with
you has been so beneficial to both, as well
as to the interests of learning and knowledge.
(Cheers.) The presence of so many of all
classes of the citizens of Glasgow around me,
and their liberal subscriptions for the prosecu-
tion of the work we are engaged in this day,
attests the value they attach to its completion,
and their sense of the advantages they and the
people of Scotland derive from your institution.
The interest which my lamented father took in the
advancement of every branch of science and edu-
cation would stimulate me to follow his example
and promote by every means in my power the
success of your university, and the objects for
which it has been founded. We may confidently
expect that the eminent men educated here in time
past are only the precursors of a long train equally
to be distinguished by every scientific requirement.
The Princess of Wales rejoices in the opportunity
afforded her of taking part in this day's ceremony,
and cordially thanks you for your kind wishes."
(Loud cheers.)
His royal highness then performed the ceremony
of laying the foundation stone, and the Princess
also graciously accepted the invitation made to her
to lay a companion stone as a memorial of her
visit.

The proceedings then terminated, and the royal
party shortly afterwards returned to Glasgow,
where they partook of luncheon with the Lord
Provost, and at six in the evening they left by
train for Edinhurgh.

stone, again presided. After a paper by Dr. Ogle,
on sisterhoods. the discussion of which was not of mach
interest, the Rev. C. D. Marston. read a paper on the
position of the laity in the church. At the close of the
discussion which followed. it was inti,eated that the
Church Association intended henceforth to hold their
Fining meetings in London, and the autumn meetings
in scree central provincial town.
114'1111)Mo'; OF A RITUALISTI( CLEROTMAN.—Wo
understand that the lord bishop of the diocese Les given
notice to the Rev. J. E. Sesigsrick of St. Alban's, X% ater-
loo-road, in this city, of his determination to withdraw
his license within a certain prescribed time. His lordship
is said to have been led to this course in consequence of
certain pre, trees? including the lighting of candles and the
confessional haying been systematically observed at St.
Allan's. The church has never been consecrated, and
this places the power in the hands of the bishop to revoke
the license he has granted without any intermediate pro-
ceedings. Mr. Sedgwick. in the meantime. has received
un anointment to a rectory in the south of England.—

THE RAID UPON BETTING MEN AT LIVERPOOL.
—Yesterday. at the Liverpool police-court, Samuel David-
son. F. J. l'arry, Andrew King, and James Dalaell, all
[tell knout members of the sporting fraternity, who
were itypebended by warrant on Tuesday, were brought
up before Mr. Baffles, stipendiary magistrate. The
apprt !tension took place at a vard in Rood-street, off
Whitechopel, much trequented by the betting men a the
town. The prironers were charged under the 16 and 17
Vic., chap. 119. sees. 3 and 4, with two offences. The
first was that of assisting to conduct the business at the
place in Hood-street, open for the purpo:e of persons
betting therein upon certain cventa or contin-
gencies relating to horse racing, by which they
had rendered themselves liable to a penalty of 1001.,
or six months imprisonment iu default. The second of-
fence was that 01 receiving money as bets on condition of
paying certain sums of money to persons upon certain
events relating to horse racing. The penalty incurred in
this ease was 56 and costs, or in default three months'
impriroment. Mr. Walter, prosecuting solicitor, con-
ducted the prosecution. The prisoners were defended by
Mr. Cobb and Mr. Charles l'emberton. The ease of
Davidson was taken first. and it being proved that bets
were made upon the premises spoken of, he was con-
victed and ordered to pay 50/. penalty for receiving bet-
ting money, and the nominal perialtyof Is. for conducting
the business. The other defendants pleaded guilty, and
wets ordered to pay the Caine penalties. All the fines
were paid.
THE NEW ROUTE BETWEEN LIVERPOOL AND
Locenoce.—Our Liverpool correspondent yesterday visited
the deviation line from Ditto's, us Lancavhire. to Dutton.
in Cliethile, on the London and North Western system.
It is seven and a halt miles long, and has been in course
of construction since I 1 13. leni.th is included the
enormous iron girder bridge amiss the Mersey it Run-
corn, which has been erected on a principle which was
first adopted in America. In point of si e the Mersey
bridge is the largest .4 the kind ever built. It ....insists of
three awns of 305 feet each. brides four arches which rise nut
of the bed of the river, on the Lancashire side. The bottom
of the bridge is 75 feet above high-water mark, and in
order to attain this elevation, which was neceasary to
keep unimpeded the navigation of the river, viaducts have
bad to be erected on both sides, and in these are no less
than 94 arches. The whole line has cost *.!..;#1,000/. Messrs.
Cochrane, Grove, and Co.. of Fruitier, are the sub-con-
tractors for the bridge under Messrs. if tnasey and Ogilvie.
who have accepted the contract for the whole lino. A
footway runs alongside the bridge, and this will be opened.
on Saturday next, after which data the many Wooll-
y, niences of the old ferry will he done away with. The
line will be officially inspected by the government Aker
in a few days, and will, it is expected, be opened for
traffic early in December. It will save between nine anti
ten wiles in the journey between Liverpool and London.
which it is intended to accomplish in a little over fear
hours. The engines will take up water at Rugby while in
motion, u is new the case with the Lisle mail. The
carriages for the service will he built *mien Lit upon the
American principle, with a presage up the centre, and
will be provided with retiring and refreshment rooms.
INFRINORMENT Or THE FACrinIT At-r.—Three
manufacturers of Birmingham were summoned at the
Poliee-court in that town, yestenlay, to answer charges of
infringement of the Factory Act. In the case of Mr.
Charles Clifford, of Faseley-street, au exeuse was put in
that the machinery bad broken down during the day, and
that they were working overtime to complete an order.
The mag•strate indicted the penalty in four eases, amount-
ing to 131. lOa. 641. Messrs. Reader and Dingle, dampers
and were charged on eight different summonses
for detaining girls at work after six. The penalties in
this case amounted to 101. 7a. 61. Mr. John Higgins,
