Last night several thousand persons of both
sexes passed through the Guildhall between 7 and 9
o'clock to witness the " lighting up" of the hall,
_prepa-
ratory to the banquet, which will take place on Winday
evening next—Lord Mayor's Day. The admission was, as
is customary, by tickets distributed by the members of the
Corporation. Most of the principal ministers of state and
foreign ambassadors have, it is understood, accepted the
invitations to the banquet.
QUEEN'S COUNSEL.—We understand that on an
application being made to the Lord Chancellor for silk by
a member of the common law bar, his lordship intimated
that it was not his intention at present to recommend any
gentleman to her Majesty for that distinction.—Law
Jaffna.
PRINTERS' ALIESIIOUSES.—At a council meeting
held at the Landon Tavern on Tuesday, after the nand
routine business, a letter was read from the treasurer,
announcing that the late Mr. Henry Wright, of Kingston,
bad bequeathed 2,00 W. to build the second wing of the
above most worthy institution. The collector was requested
to make use of his most strenuous exertions to obtain the
remainder of the 1,000 guineas (now being collected)
required for erecting the first wing, so that the bequest of
the liberal donor may become available for the comple-
tion of the almshouses. Subscriptions will be thankfully
received by the collector, Mr. C. Pope, 14, Derby-street,
Argyle-square, W.C.
A MODERN "DICK TURPIN" IN BERKSHIRE.—
Considerable alarm has been occasioned in the neighbour-
hood of Reading by the fact that a highwayman—a
veritable Dick 'I urpm—had made his appearance boldly,
and in broad daylight, on the main road leading from
Henley-on-Thames to Reading. On Thursday, at 3
o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. R. C. Lloyd, house deco-
rator, of Kew-street, Henley, was stopped by a man on
horseback, who presented apurtol at Mr. .Lloyd and
demanded his purse. Mr. Lloyd (who was driving)
replied that he had no purse. " Are you sure 1'
inquired the highwayman. " Yes," replied Mr. Lloyd.
"Then if you haven't got one I can't have it,"
said the man, and just at this time a carriage appeared
in sight, and the man rode on shortly after this. Ms.
Hodge", of Ilolney Court, was riding with another lady
in her carriage along the same road, when the highway-
men r ame up and told the coachman to stop, and throat- •
tied that if lie did not he would put a bullet through his
Es ad. The man obeyed, and the highwaymen rode up to
the carriage, and looking in at the window said, " Oh!
you have only got ladies, you can go on." On the pre-
vious night a gentleman was stopped near Maidenhead
Thicket, and it is supposed by the same man. The man
has rot been captured.
EXTRAORDINARY SALE OF WINES.—Tho wines
of the celebrated private cellar of the late Mr. William
Penn Allcock were sold by Messrs. Cheshire and Gib-
son, Birmingham, on Wedneeeley, the 28th ult, when
the entire stock was disposed of at astoundingprieut.
The pale was held at the residence of the deemed gentle-
man, Mayfield, Edgbaston, and was attended by the con-
noisseurs of the neighbourhood, and many from &distance.
The chief competition was for the port wines, of which
there were about 110 dozen, including the vintages of 1820,
11434, 1840, 1842, 1847, '6O, 64, and '4B, which realised on
an average about 61 guineas per dozen ; a small bin of
Croft's 1851 vintage, bottled in 1&54, sold at 120 s. per
dozen. Eight dozen of Croft's '47, 61 guineas lier dozen;
six dozen of Croft's very fine vintage 1842, at n guineas;
and • bin of Croft's '4O, bottled in 1843, realisod
161 guineas per dozen. The 1834, said to be Merit,
sold at 16 guineas per dozen ; and • small bin
of the celebrated 1820 vintage, although • little
worn, but by the buyer pronounced exquisite, realised
one guinea and a half per bottle. Another small bin of
'34, shippers unknown, sold at 10 guineas per dozen •
and other ports of lees age brought at agallop from 6 to 71
guineas per dozen. The old bottled sherry sold at from
to 5 guineas; and one bin, known as the C 7., old 11.4
India brown, realised CI guineas per dozen. A bin of
Howard Fletcher's Madeira weld at 120 s. per dozen ; and
a gland Chateau Margaux claret, vintage 1838, sold at 7
gulls as per doyen, and was pronounced by the gentleman
who bought it cheap at the prim.

As we proceeded fresh carriages of pirate individuals
sad homage continued to join on behind, and it was
tesemary to keep a bright look out to prevent their
making in between the two carriages containing the
Duke and Governor with their suites. The road was
Wetly covered with red dust, which as soon as
the horsemen and carriages started rose in
clouds and enveloped everything. A great scrambling
crowd of Malay and black boys, running and tumbling
over each other, shouting sad laughing; women with
children tied upon their backs • old men, too, and girls
themed in every conceivable kind of ragged rig and pic-
turesque colour, with bead gear moat varied and wonder-
ful to look on—to wit, Malay hate like huge parasols, or
the thatch of an English coin-rick ; crowns of old black
bats, turbans of all proportions and colours, swelled the
procession as it swept along. Everybody within reach
seemed to stop in whatever they might be employed, an]
to commence running with the procession as though
bewitched. One long 'lwo carrying an empty coffin
under his arm joined in, and commenced running
and shouting with the rest. Darkiee of all
shades and ages. up in trees, screamed and
shouted in a state of frantic delight at the
wl ode sane. When the cavalry trumpet sounded
" Trot," the cloud of dust increased tenfold. Everybody
arparently who could muster a horse was mounted, so
at ahead and on every side the carriage in which we
w ere following the Duke, was hemmed in and surrounded.
and everything became mired up in one thick cloud of
red dust, in which helmets, swords, hats, pnggeries. tur-
bans, and horses almost disappeared. The crowd hnr-
robed louder than ever; pigs squealed, dogs howled, riders
tumbled off ; the excitement was irresistible. " Whoa
whoop l" and we were rushed into the cloud of dust (to
escape being utterly swamped, and left &item of the
Duke), standing up in the carriage, and holding on in
front, to catch what glimpses we could of what was
going on.
A bouquet, thrown in a spasm of enthusiastic
loyalty atthe nose of the horse on which the Prince
rode, caused the animal to become unpleasantly
demonstrative. A breathless succession of red-
hot sandy festivities make us quite thankful to
get out of Cape Town and go elephant-hunting
with the Duke. Here we have a highly sensa-
tional picture of an elephant-charge, and we grow
quite bloodthirsty in the excitement of the chase.
It is no joke, however, to make one of such a
party. The Duke is terribly in earnest, and means
business; is here, there, and everywhere; helps
to collect brushwood and make the fire; seems
able to do without meat, drink, or sloop (to
speak of), and swallows hie mutton broth out 1
of the solitary teacup which makes the round of
the party with a philosophy and gay good hu-
mour that are irresistible. We are very much
tempted to give in extent) the Duke's letter
to the Prince of Wales. A short extract
we cannot resist. The Prince having "caught
his hare" (only this time it was an elephant),
proceeds, with coat off, and shirt sleeves
tucked up, to skin him in the most scion-
title manner, from which congenial occupation he
is summoned to have a piece of the loaf and meat
which the governor has been cutting up. This
was breakfast, the party having risen at 5 a.m.,
and it was then 3.30 p.m. Hear this, ye club loun-
gers, ye young gentlemen of England who lounge
at home at ease, ye heavy swells, and effeminate
exquisite., and take a lesson from royalty!
" But," the Duke observes, "as our hands and
arms were all covered with blood, we had toget our
friends to bale up water in the cups of our spirit
flails, and wash us down, clear of the pool, it
being our only water to drink." The Duke having
finished his skinning's, et cietera, makes the follow-
ing remark, which is so fully flavoured with the
conscious satisfaction of &virtuous action, that we
cannot resist giving it The day was fine and
the weather hot, and my short clay was very
enjoyable, sitting on the yet warm carom !"
A Mr. Cole, who appears to be the Cape
Town " Ingoldisby," iurtiortalises all the royal
doings in verse, and will be doubtless highly
gratified to find his doggrol rescued from the ob-
livion that generally attends provincial poetry,
and preserved for posterity in a volume dedicated
to the Queen. Loyalty is, of course, delightful,
but after the Cape Town demonstrations oven the
log-book is rather a relief, and we enjoy the idea
of his royal highness resting awhile from his
labours. A very sensational picture of the Galatea
in a cyclone, however, aroma* us from our sym-
pathetic Sybaritism and momentary dreams of
ease; after which we sink into the repose of the
log-book
.again.

THE LORD MAYOR ELECT AND THE POLICE.—
At a meeting held last night at the Lambeth Baths, to
hear an address from Mr. Alderman J. C. Lawrence (Lord
Mayor elect), • question with respect to police inter-
ference with children's hoops in the metropolis was put
by an elector, to which Mr. Alderman Lawrenoe gave
the following answer think that the bowling of
hoops is, on the whole, an amusement to which we all.
when we were young, were addicted, and I hope that
places may be found in which children may moiety and
freely bowl their hoops. (Cheers.) But I have seen and
known of accidents occurring through hoops, by
which elderly people have been laid up for life.
It is the duty of the police to sec that no such
accidents occur, and 1 may include accidents to
horses—but at the same time I entirely disapprove of an
a) Whim y exercise of power by the police. (Cheers.) It
is on that account I sh mid be glad to see the palicc of the
metropolis under the control of the magistracy of munici-
palities Hither than under the control of Sir Richard
Mayne. (Loud cheers.) And I may say further that I
would not place the police under the control of the Metro-
politan Board of Works. (Cheers.)
'IRE RELIEF OF METROPOLITAN DIRTRESs.—
The Rev. S. J. Rowell writes to us :—"M Arololitan
Visiting and Relief Association, 21, Regent-street,' S.W.,
Nov. 6, 1868.—Sir,--In the societies named iu your
article of to-day for the relief of distress, may I ask you
to include the Metropolitan Visiting and Relief Aim.
ciation. This society was established upwards of twenty-
flve years since, and extends assistance through the
medium of upwards of 170 unpaid district visiting
societies to newly all the most needy and helpless districts
of the metropolis. Of these more than three-fourths
are in the east and north-east of London. Omnta
are given to the clergy for their visiting societies,
and the committee require that the relief should
be distributed as far as possible in kind, viz., in
bread, coals, and clothing, and not in money, the em-
phatic oondaions of manned being that poverty, sickness,
and distress be the claims, and that assistance be rendered
without any reference to religious opinions. Audited ac-
counts of the expenditure of sums peerlessly voted are re-
cinircd before any grants are renewed: The
'editors unite in °venoms their gratitude for thecieratetas
aseociation, through the liberality of its supports's, has
enabled to bestow. Judging from the large amber of
applications that have at this early period of the winter
been received, the committee fear that without additional
support they may nut be able to entertain favourably the
appeal brought before them. I am, dr, yours faithfully,
1' _J. Moabite, Rector of St. Margaret's, Luthltury."
