THE COURT

The Queen went on Monday afternoon to the camp at
Aldershott, for the purpose of reviewing the regiments of
the Guards and of the line which have lately returned
from the Crimea. Her Majesty quitted Buckingham
Palace at twenty.five minutes before one o'clock. The
royal party consisted of Prince Albert, the King of the
Belgians, the Prince of Wales, Prince Oscar of Sweden,
and the Count of Flanders. The royal cortege consisted
of five carriages, with an escort of Light Dragoons, and
proceeded from the palace to the private station at Vaux-
hall, where a special train was in readiness, which con-
veyed the Queen and party to Farnborough. The royal
party were met, on their arrival at the royal pavillion,
Aldershott Camp, by the Duke of Cambridge, Lord Har-
dinge„ Lord Panmure, and the generals of the different
brigades and regiments. Shortly after reaching the
pavilion, and ,vhilst her Majesty was in conversation
with the gallant veteran in the state room, an accident,
of a somewhat singular nature, occurred to Viscount
Hardinge. The noble lord was seated on a couch,
resting his arm on a table running on castors, and as he
was about to rise, he leaned rather heavily on the table,
which caused it to slip from under him, and losing his
balance, he fell, injuring his foot. His lordship was
raised from the ground
.and removed to head quarters,
suffering much pain, and upon a surgeon arriving from
the hospital department, it was found that the ankle was
so swollen and inflamed, that it was difficult to say
whether the foot was sprained or fractured. At the
request of the noble commander, he was removed in an
easy carriage to Farnborough, from whence he was con-
veyed by a special train to town, and thence to his resi-
dence. Her Majesty expressed great anxiety at the
occurrence, and repeatedly sent Colonel Biddulph to
make enquiries as to the noble viscount's progress. The
weather proving very unfavourable, it was suggested to
her Majesty, that it would be better to postpone the
review. The Queen said that a little rain would not
harm her ; and it was only on being notified that the
men might suffer from being paraded during the rain,
that her Majesty acceded to the suggestion. It was
definitely arranged that the troops should be mustered
as soon as the rain ceased. The rain, however, did not
cease for a single moment. Her Majesty was to remain
at the Pavilion until yesterday, intending to proceed with
the review when the weather allowed.

THE LATE FATAL COLLISION IN THE RlVER.—Before this
meets the eye of our readers, it is much to be feared that
another death will be added to the number already recorded,
as resulting from the late fearful catastrophe. We-learned,
upon enquiry at the Northern Hospital last night, that,
notwithstanding the attention and exertions of the medical
staff at that valuable establishment, Michael Kilhorne, one
of the unfortunate passengers by the Mail steamer, was
hourly sinking, from the effects of the injuries he had
received, and but little hopes remained that he would
survive for any length of time. We were also informed
that. in the course of yesterday, Edward °ogle), had been
admitted into that establishment, with a contused hip.
This man was also a passenger on board the Mail at the
time of the collisi )n, and has been suffering severely ever
since, although he had not previously applied for admission
into the hospital where he now lies,
THE ROYAL LANC ISHIRE RlFLES.—Yesterday this regi-
ment mustered at the New Barracks, Everton, and after
performing their usual morning drill, marched through the
town, headed by their excellent band, which continuously
kept up a strain of military airs, much to the delight of the
inhabitants of the localities through which they passed,
and also to a large concourse of persons who accompanied
them. Their route, after leaving the barracks, was
through Great Homer-street, Richmond-row, St. Ann's-
street, Islington, Lime-street, down St. John's-lane, through
Manchester-street, into Dale-street, and round the Nelson
Monument, in the Exchange flags, passing along North
Castle-street, Lord-Street, Chuch-street, up Bold-street,
along Renshaw. street, into Lime-street, up the London-
road to the barracks. The soldier-like appearance of this
regiment fully evidenced the care and attention the officers
had bestowed in the training of the men, and bringing
them into such a state of discipline. We understand that
in the course of a few days the Royal Rifles will be reviewed
prior to their being disembodied.

AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF BALTIMORE

The screw steamship City of Baltimore arrived
in the Mersey yesterday eveniag, but could not
come over the bar for want of water. By
her we have received two days' later news from
Philadelphia than that brought by the Arabia.
The City of Baltimore left the Delaware on the
26th ult., and has made the passage to this port in
eleven and a half days. She bringl 110 cabin, and
196 steerage passengers, and 60,000 dollars in
specie. Among her passengers is Mr. Mathew,
the late British Consul at Philadelphia.
The steamship North Star, from Bremen and
Southampton, with 100 passengers and a moderate
cargo of merchandise, arrived at this port on the
afternoon of the 25th.

The steamship Asia, due with dates to the 14th
ultimo, had not arrived at Sandy Hook at midnight
on the 25th.

The New York Herald gives a lengthy account
of the reception of Ex President Fillmore by the
citizens of New York. A deputation from Phila-
delphia waited upon the honourable gentlemen,
with an invitation to that city, which was accepted.
On the same evening a stormy meeting took place
at the National Hall on the Fillmore interest,
which ended in a row, in the midst of which its
promoter, Mr. Van Riper, the President of the
National Club, was compelled to make his escape,
to avoid the threatened violence of his former
coadjutors.
Accounts from Washington, dated the 24th ult.,
mention that on that day in the Senate a message
was received from the President, transmitting the
instructions sent to Mr. Buchanan, while Minister
to England, upon the subject of free ships and
free goods. Mr. Geyer introduced a bill pro-
viding for the faithful execution of the provision
of the Kansas• Nebraska act in Kansas. On the
motion of Mr. Weller, the Kansas bill, and all the
proposed amendments, were re-committed to the
Committee on Territories. Adjourned.

The House of ReprAentatives had passed a bill,
authorising the President to cause to be delivered,
at the expense of the United States to Utah and
New Mexico, such arms as they aro entitled to
under existing laws.
The Havana correspondent of the New York
Herald, writing on the 19th ult, states that a good
supply of coal had been forwarded to the Spanish
squadron at Vera Cruz, by means of which the
vessels would make a stiff attack, or a clear retreat,
just as policy or the exigencies of the case
demanded. The United States ship Susquehanna
had brought advices from Nicaragua to the effect
that Walker's influence was fast extending in the
other States, and that his military position was
improving. Freights and trade dull.
On the 23rd ult., the Guatemalan army of 2,000
men had been ordered to invade Nicaragua. This
fact has revived the rumour that Guatemala, San
Salvador and Honduras had formed a league against
Walker. The failure of the campaign of the Costa
Ricans, however, had in all probability, induced
these governments ere this to abandon the enter-
prise.
The case of the United States against several
parties engaged in the alleged slaver Falmouth,
was commenced in the United States Circuit Court,
but adjourned. It is a suit for 2,000 dols. penalty
under the statute, instead of prosecuting the accused
criminally.

The habeas corpus case of the three children of
Mr. Jarvis, of England, whom he seeks to obtain
from his wife, who clandestinely left her home with
them, for the purpose of proceeding to join the
Morrnans, at Utah, is pending before ex-Judge
Peabody as referee.

On the 25th ult., the Grand Jury, at Washing-
ton presented an indictment agsinst Preston S.
Brooke, for assault and battery on Mr. Sumner.
The latter appeared before the jury and gave
testimony.

At Washington, it was unauthentically rumoured
that General Persifer F. Smith will be appointed
Governor of Kansas, in place of Governor
Shannon

Several destructive fires are announced :—The
first,..at Cleveland, on the 24th, which destroyed a
number of buildings, including H. N. Gales' grain
elevator, loss 10,000 dols, no insurance ; Barney
Corney and Co , rectifiers, loss 12,000 dols, fully
insured in the Etna Company, Hartford ; and some
coal and lumber yards. Total loss over 30,000 dols.
The second conflagration occurred at Portland,
Blaine, at three o'clock on the same morning, in
the stable of Barber and Dingley, on Temple-
street, from which it communicated to the Temple-
street church, the Codman House and the Casco
House, all of which were destroyed, together with
the wooden buildings in the centre of the square.
The fire then spread across temple-street, burning
two or three wooden buildings on the southerly
side. The goods of all the stores, and the stock
of most of the mechanics, were saved. The
fire (at 10 a.m.) was still burning, but is confined to
the above mentioned limits. The third catastrophe
occurred on the morning of the 25th, when the
Massasoit Flour Mills, at this place, were destroyed
by fire. Loss, 150,000 dols. Insurance 40,000
dols.

ARRIVALS AT NEW YORK, June 24.—The ship Liver-
pool, Kearney; the ship Warder, Ryder; the ship Lady
Franklin, Jordan; and the ship William Tapscott, Bell;
all from Liverpool.
ARRIVALS AT PHILADELPHIA, June 25.—The ship

DUTCH RHENISH RAILWAY.—The first twelve miles of
the important line which is now in course of construction,
whereby the Dutch Rhenish will be connected with the
immense railway system of the East of Europe, was opened
for public traffic on the Ist, and the remaining thirty-one
miles rapidly approach completion.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—On Saturday night, about twelve
o'clock, as a man employed at Low Moor ironworks, near
Bradford, was on his way to his residence at Low Moor, he
was attacked by four men, who knocked him down, and the
whole rifled his pockets, and robbed him of tour halfcrowns,
two shillings, and a pocket knife. Three of the robbers are
in custody—George Woodrow, Joseph Baistow, and Eli
Fletcher. They are all well known characters, and th 3 man
last named is not only a returned convict, but was lately
tried at York assizes for being concerned in an atrocious
robbery and intended murder of Mr. Pearson, near this
town, when a booty of £250 was carried off. His confeder-
ates were transported.
SHIP LAUNCH.—A fine clipper ship, of 1,200 tons
register, was launched on Friday last, from the building-
yard of Albert White, Esq., Waterford, for James Beazley,
of this town. She was named the Merrie England,
by the lady of Captain Kelly, late of the Miles Barton,
belonging •to the same owner. The Merrie England is
constructed in the best manner, both as regards materials
and workmanship, and will class for ten years A I at
Lloyds. She is thoroughly fastened with yellow metal, of
which there have been upwards of twenty-seven tons
employed in her, and she is internally secured with iron
knees, riders, stanchions, &c., in the most appropriate style.
Her whole construction, as well as her model, which is of
very great beauty, have been pronounced by competent
judges to reflect the utmost credit on her designer and con-
structor, Mr. Stephen Smith. Her dimensions we—Length
over all, 225 feet; extreme beam, 36 feet; depth of bold,
21 feet 10 inches; burthen, 1,700 tons. She is intended

tea was provided for them, and spent the rest of the even-
ing in listening to addresses from a number of gentlemen
who take an active part in such movements. The school is
in connection with the Independents, but children of all
denominations will be received into if. It is designed to
accommodate 150 scholars; but, on Sundays, and other
occasions 3f congregational meetings, it will accommodate
as many as 250 adults, besides fifty children, for whom a
gallery will be specially erected. The total estimated
expense is £750, of which £535 will be for the construction,
and towards this amount the following sums have been, up
to the present, subscribed :—From the Church party, £l6O ;
Independents, £122; Baptists, £66; Society of Friends,
£2O; Methodists, £18; Unitarians. £l7; and Presbyte-
rians, £l2. On the books of the Sunday-school there are
the names of 120 scholars, and the average attendance is
ninety-four. At the day school the average attendance is
sixty. There is a temperance society also in connection
with the place ; and, when the present building is finished,
it is their intention to hold weekly meetings, and to have
lectures delivered in it, and also to open a night school for the
benefit of those whom it may be their happiness to reclaim.
This will be a free school, but the others will be made
self-sustaining. The design of the building is by Mr. W.
J. Mason, and the builder is Mr. Joseph Nicholson.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS.-TUESDAY.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at
ye o'clock.
THE SCUTARI MONUMENT.—BIRON MAROCHETTI.

The Earl of HARRINGTON drew attention to the monu-
ment proposed to be erected at Scutari, and criticised the
design of Baron Marochetti, observing that it was' defec-
tive in its proportions, and that the embellishments were
imperfect. He thought that the design should have been
thrown open to competition.

Lord PANMURE stated that a great many artists having
refused to commit designs for public competition, the
Government had placed the design in the hands of Baron
Marochetti, and was alone responsible for the proceeding,
but he had no doubt that the monument would give entire
satisfaction.

The Registration of Voters (Scotland) Bill went
hrough committee.

The Statutes' (not in use) Repeal Bill was read a third
time and passed.
The Marriage and Registration Act Amendment Bin,
the Metropolis Local Management Bill, the Turnpike
Acts Continuance Bill, the Advowsons Bill, and the
Intestates Personal Estates Bill, were severally read a
second time.

The Drainage (Ireland) Bill, and the Distillation from
Rice Bill went through committee.
The Commissioners of Supply (Scotland) Bill, the
Evidence of Foreign States Bill, the Dwellings for
Labouring Classes (Ireland) Bill, and the Cambridge
University Bill, were read a third time and passed.
The Court of Exchequer (Scotland) Bill went through
committee.

The Militia Ballot Suspension Bill, the Grand Juries
(Ireland) Bill, and the Charities Bill, were read a second
time.

The House adjourned at seven o'clock,

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TIIESDAY
The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock.
PUBLIC HEALTH BILL.

Mr. COWPER moved that the house do resolve itself into
committee on this bill.

Mr. ItzgrcuT moved as an amendment 'that the house
resolve itself into committee this day three months. He
thought it a breach of faith with the House of Commons
when the bill of 1848 was under consideration. It did
certainly take a great many of the stringent clauses of
that bill, but it omitted • all the remedial portion, and
would not, therefore, be taken as a carrying out of that
measure. He did earnestly hope that the bill would not
be allowed to pass during the present session. If passed,
it would confirm all the abuses that had been com-
plained of in that house.
Mr. PALK considered that the bill interfered with
property of every kind and the administration of local
affairs, and he thought it should have been brought for-
ward at a period of the session when it could receive due
discussion. The bill grasped at a despotism which he
believed the House of Commons would never sanction.
He should not, however, oppose the committee on the
bill.

Mr. GORE LANGToNsupported the committee

Mr. COWPER thought that if the hon. gentleman who
had moved the amendment would consent to the discus-
sion of the clauses in committee, he mieht more effectually
serve the object he had in ♦iew. With regard to the
observation of the hon. member for Devonshire (Mr.
Palk), that an earlier period of the session should have
been sought for introducing the bill, he had not been able,
to find that happy time, although he had anxiously looked
for it. The early part of the session was taken up with
discussions on supply and on the war, and he had not
been able to obtain any evening for the discussion of a
bill of 200 clauses. If there were any of the clauses to
which grave objections were raised, or which would lead
to much discussion, he would postpone them for another
year. He hoped the house would not shut the door
altogether against an amendment of the Act of 1848.
Mr. HENLEY thought the Government would have acted
more judiciously if they had introduced the old bill, with
those portions expunged which were objected to by the
select committee.

Mr. BAINES said there were many clauses of the bill
which were of great importance, and the discussion of
which would occupy no time. If there was no other
reason for going into committee, one might be found in
the fact that the bill provided for the continuance of th 3
Board of Health, which would cease on the Ist of July,
and to the end of the next session of Parliament. It would
be highly undesirable to stay until next session for a
renewal of the powers of the board, for the session might
be cut short in the course of the first week.

Mr. GREENE had no objection to that clause of the bill
being agreed to, but to the general principle of the bill
he had very strong objections, and he would not consent
to go into committee on any other portion of the bill
than that which provided for the continuance of the Board
of Health.

Mr. BARROW was of opinion'thatlrthe-House owed it to
its own dignity, to reject a bill which interfered so mate-
rially with the rights of private property.
Mr. DUNCOMBE was very much of the same opinion as
the gentleman who had just sat down, and could not agree
to the House going into committee, even on the terms pro-
posed by the hon. member for Lancaster (Mr. Greene).
Before hon. members were alarmed at the threatened
annihilation of the Board of Health, it would be well for
them to enquire what the board had cost, and what it had
done. He should vote against the board on any terms. It
had only a year to live, and hoped that after that time
the country would hear nothing more about it. (Laughter.)
The house then divided, and the numbers were—
For going into committee 61
Against it .. 73

Majority,

The bill was consequent& lost.

Mr. COWPER said that as the decision of the house had
been averse to him, he must now fall back upon the sug-
gestion made by the honourable member for Lancaster, and
propose to the house a continuance bill for one year. He
therefore gave notice of his intention to bring in such a
bill.

The Court of Chancery'(lreland) Receivers' Bill passed
through committee after a pledge had been given by the
Attorney-General for Ireland, that on the third reading
he would bring up a clause fixing a limitation in respect tc
the amount of debts over which the receiver might be
appointed.
The Court of Appeal in Chancery (Ireland) Bill wens
through committee.

The-Registration of Leases (Scotland) Bill was read o
third time and passed.

An adjournment of the House to six o'clock then took
place. _

The House resumed its sittings for the evening at six
o'clock.

MERCANTILE MARINE BILL,

Mr. THOMAS BARING gave notice that on the second
reading of the Mercantile Marine Bill he should mov(
that it be read a second time that day three months.
