THE COURT

The Prince and Princess of Prussia arrived on Thurs-
day on a visit to the Queen. Their royal highnesses are
accompanied by the Princess Louise. The Duchess of
Kent paid a visit to their royal highnesses at Buckingham
Palace. The Prince and Princess of Prussia and the
Princess Louise, went in the afternoon to Gloucester
House, to visit the Duchess of Gloucester, and afterwards
visited the Duchess of Cambridge at her residence in St
James's Palace. The Queen took a drive in the afternoon,
accompanied by the Princess Royal, the Princeess of
Prussia, and the Princess Louise of Prussia, in an open
landau and four. In the evening the Queen had a dinner
party. The company included the Duchess of Kent, the
Prince and Princess of Prussia, the Princess Royal, and
the Princess Louise of Prussia, the Prussian Minister
and Countess Bernstorff, the Marquis of Breadalbane,
and the Earl and Countess of Clarendon. Prince Oscar
of Sweden, attended by Lieut.-Colonel Cavendish, visited
Mr. Bursford's panorama of Sebastopol yesterday. His
royal highness also visited the German Gallery, in New
Bond-street. to inspect Mr. Barker's pictures of the
Allied Generals before Sebastopol.

CLOSE OF THE SESSION.—The Ministerial whitebait dinner
will take place at the Trafalgar, Greenwich, and— as at
present arranged—on Saturday, the 19th instant.

THE OLIVER LANG.—It turns out that the announcement
of the arrival off ,this port of the Oliver Lang from Mel-
bourne is erroneous. The mistake arose from the ship
Wisconson having accidentally transposed her signals, and
thereby conveyed the wrong numbers (those of the Oliver
Lang) to the semaphore at Holyhead. Hence the mistake,
which was purely accidental.

MILITARY PROMOTIONS.—Major-general W. G. Cochrane,
who has for some time commanded the Dublin district,
will, we believe, have the colonelcy of the 11th regiment,
vacant by the death of General Sir John Wilson. Sir
Colin Campbell's commission as Lieutenant-general bas
been antedated the 4th of June, 1856, thus placing the
gallant officer in his proper position as senior of Si
Codrington, who was promoted to be Lieutenant
general on the 6th of June.

THE TIPPERARY BANK A FF-1 IR.—DUBLIN, Friday.—
This day the Master of the Rolls made his promised
statement, in reply to the Attorney• General, in the House
of Commons. His Honour, at considerable length, enume-
rated the several judgments he had given in the case of
the Tipperary Bank, in which he maintained that he
distantly pointed out Mr. James Sadleir as being impli-
cated in the frauds of John Sadleir. His Honour con-
cluded by insisting that the Attorney-General, and not he,
had grossly neglected his duty by not taking steps towards
.e xi., opinion in court
was, that the observations of the Master were nearly a
resume and reiteration of his former statement, without
the introduction of any new matter.

THE MILITIA MUTINY AT NENAGH.—An inquest was
held yesterday (Wednesday), on the bodies of the parties
shot the previous evening. Their names are—Denis
Tookey and Patrick Tracey, Tipperary Light Infantry

Patrick Curley, 41st Regiment, and Peter Gibbons, pen-
sioner. Curley had but recently returned from the
Crimea, and was present at the battles of Alma,
Inkermann, and Balaklava, for which he had three
medals. The verdict was, " That the deceased men came
by their deaths in consequence of the gun-shot wounds
inflicted by some person or persons unknown, and that
the death of the soldier Curley, of the 41st Regiment,
was caused by a soldier of the North Tipperary Militia ;"
but the verdict was subsequently modified by the
omission of the sentence inculpating the militia, as it
was urged that the evidence was not sufficiently clear
that the shot which killed Curley was fired by a militia
man.

VISIT OF THE LORD LIEUTENANT TO LIMERICK.—The
Earl of Carlisle, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, left Dublin
on Wednesday by special train for Limerick, at half-past
twelve o'clock, and arrived in Limerick at a quarter past
four. He was received on his arrival by the coporation of
Limerick, the Bishop of Limerick, General Chatterton,
Lieut.-Colonel Maitland, Sir David Roche. Lieut.-Colonel
Sir Charles O'Donnell, the High Sheriff, and a large
number of local gentry. As he proceeded through the
principal streets, which were lined with military, to the
Town-hall, he was greeted by the most enthusiastic accla-
mations of the people. The banquet took place at seven
o'clock in the theatre in Henry-street, which was hand-
somely decorated with flags and other ornaments, and was
brilliantly lighted. On Thursday, the inauguration of the
Limerick and Foynes railway by his excellency, who,
accompanied by the Earl of Dunraven and a brilliant
staff, took place. A magnificent dejeuner was given, at
which the Earl':of Dunraven presided. Yesterday the
Lord Lieutenant opened the Athenaeum. The laying of
the foundation stone of the Sailors' Home followed. In
the afternoon, at three o'clock, after his Excellency had
visited many of the public institutions, he proceeded to
review the troops, 300 strong. His Excellency returned
to Adair, and visits Foynes and the river to-day.

NEW FRENCH CONSUL Ar LIVERPOOL.—M. Flenry, the
brother of Gen. Fleury, the Emperor's aide-de-camp, has
been appointed French Consul at Liverpool.
EAST INDIA SHIPPING.—Return for half-year ended
June 30.—Entered inwards : London, an increase of 21
ships, and Liverpool, an increase of 55 ships. Cleared
out wards : London. an increase of 26 vessels, and Liver-
pool, a decrease of 4 vessels.
FATAL AcclDENT.—Yesterday a carter, named William
Fryth, who lives at No. 11, Bamber-street, off Paddington,
met with his death by falling from his cart. He was
returning from Walton when he fell from the cart, the
wheels of which passed over his body, and inflicted such
injuries that he died on his way to the Northern Hospital.
An inquest will be held upon the body.

DEATH FROM StIFFOCAT ON.-YeStrdo.7 the coroner held
an inquest on the body of a female, named Mary Green, the
wife of a p3or man, who died suddenly on the previous day.
It appeared that she was eating her dinner, when she fell
hick and expired almost immediately. Upon an examina-
tion being made after death, by a surgeon, a large piece of
beef was found in her wind pipe, which was the cause of
death, and a verdict to that effect was returned.

PARISH OF SEFTON —A ve,try meeting was held at thy.)
palish church of Seft )n, on Thursday, the 10th instant,
the. Rev. Joseph Clark in the chair (the Rev. T. P. Ball
being from home), for the purpose of laying a rate for
the necessary repairs of the said church, and other contin-
gencies connected therewith. A vote of one halfpenny in
the pound was proposed by James Birch, seconded by
Christopher Richmond (two of the congregation) ; and an
amendment, proposed by Thomas Heyes, seconded by
Juin Shean (Roman Catholics), that one penny in the
pound be laid for the said purpose ; the original motion of
one halfpenny was carried by a majority of four votes—
the only Protestants voting being the proposer and seconder.
Mr. Churchwarden Bolshaw argued the necessity of re-
considering the decision, on account of the repairs required,
one halfpenny in the pound being quite inadequate tor the
purpose, owing. t) the building requiring considerable re-
pairs. Mc. "'eyes likewise proceeded to educate the
penny rate.
