tic corps and the nobility at Buckingham Palace after the
Princess Royal, the following account of her royal high-

which was severely burnt a few days ago by her dress

honoured the performance of Madame Ristori, at the
Lyceum Theatre, with their presence in the evening,
BUCKIYGIIADI PALACE, Saturday.—The nobility and
gentry called in great numbers at the palace during
the day to enter their names on the list of enquirers
after the health of her royal highness. The Princess
walked this morning in the garden of the palace.
The Queen also promenaded in the garden. No written
answer was given to-day to the numerous enquirers after
the Princess Royal, owing to the improvement that has
taken place in the state of the arm. His Royal Highness
Prince Oscar of Sweden, attended by Lieut.-colonel
Cavendish, groom in waiting to the Queen; and also by
Colonel Loven, and other gentlemen of his suite, went
yesterday forenoon to Wormwood Scrubs. His royal
highness and party quitted Claridge's Hotel at ten o'clock,
in two of the Queen's carriages and four, and after wit-
nessing the military review returned to Londou, and went
in the afternoon to pay a visit to Prince Frederick William
of Prussia.

PRINCE FREDERICK WILLIAM OE PaussLt•—The visit
of this young prince to our court terminated this day,
when his royal highness took leave of her Majesty and
Prince Albert, on his return to Prussia. The prince took
leave yesterday of the members of the royal family at
their respective residences, and this afternoon, at three
o'clock, went out in an open carriage to pay a series of
visits pour prendre conge. About eight o'clock this evening,
Prince Frederick William took his departure from the
Palace. His royal highness and suite were conveyed in
two of the Queen's carriages from the Palace to the Lon-
don Bridge station, where they started by the South
Eastern Railway for Dover, on, their way to Aix la
Chapelle
To—day, his Majesty the King of the Belgians is ex-
pected to arrive in London, on a visit to the Queen.

CABINET COUNCIL.—A. Cabinet Council was summoned
on Friday, to meet on Saturday at the Foreign Office, at
two o'clock. Soon after three o'clock Lord Panmure,
Lord Harrowby, Sir Charles Wood, Mr. Baines, Mr.
Vernon Smith, Sir George Grey, Lord Clarendon, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Lahouchere, Lord
Lansdowne, the Duke of Argyle, and Lord Palmerston
had assembled. The Earl of Harrowby left the Council
about half-past four, having to leave town, but the rest cf
the Cabinet remained in deliberation for a ponsiderable
time longer.

THE QUARTER'S REVENUE. —The returns of the revenue
will be made up on Monday night for the quarter end-
ing on that day._ The accounts will be published,
showing the gross revenue, instead of the net as hereto-
fore. This is carrying out Mr. Glad tone's Act of 1854.
But the usual comparisons will, of course, be made
upon the year and the quarter, by putting together the
gross and net revenues of the respective quarters and
years, ending June 30, 1855, and June 30, 1856. The
present -re' urns will be satisfactory, as compared with
those of 1855. In the great items of Customs and
Excise particularly, the resources of the country will
exhibit a steady sustainmcnt. In spite of the adverse
circumstances-of 'the close of a costly war, the Customs
receipts will bear a favourable comparison with those of
last year, whilst in the Inland Revenue, the sure test of
general prosperity and increasing consumption, there will
be an increase of almost half a million on the quarter,
chiefly in the Property and Income Tax, and in the
year of no less a sum than four millions. These are
gratifying results, and will soon, with extended com-
merce and increased internal prosperity, make up for all
the drain that a necessarily heavy war expenditure has
produced. There is no other country whose fiscal
system would bear such a large pressure, and exhibit
such buoyancy as this.—Observer.
