THE COURT

OSBORNE, May 19:—The Queen and Prince, the
Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, and the Princess Royal
attended divine service yesterday morning at Whipping-
ham Church. The Rev. G. Prothero officiated.

Tun NEW MILITARY HOSPITAL.—On Monday her
Majesty laid the foundation stone of the new military
hospital about to be erected near Southampton. Her
Majesty was accompanied by the Prince Consort, the
Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal, and was
attended by the Bishop of Winchester, Sir John Burgoyne,
Lord Panmure, the Mayor and Corporation of South-
ampton, and a brilliant suite. The ceremonial went off
to perfection and was closed by the Queen naming the
intended edifice "The Royal Victoria Military Hospital."

Ilitss EMMA STANLEY.—The eclat of this lady's per-
formance needs no reiteration ; but it is a peculiar
pleasure to us that while we are not deprived of the
repetition of her professional excellencies, so patent to
all, we have occasion to congratulate her upon the signal
defeat of the late attempt at annoyance in her private
position. When we find that an immediate decision
has compelled the cessation of legal proceedings, in a
most unaccountable and vexatious action, together with
an order for the immediate refunding a large sum
previously deposited, we are sure that the pleasure of
all who have been charmed by the magic of her talents
will only be equalled by their detestation of the actors
in this attempt to annoy private feelings in so estimable
a possessor of the highest professional abilities.

LAST NIGHT'S PARLIAMENT.—COHtTaTy to expectations,
and in direct contravention of divers rumours that the
Commons would not " make a house," the representatives
of the people assembled yesterday at the usual hour.
Further rumours were spread to the effect that the object
of not making a house was to get rid of Sir Joshua
Walmsley's motion'on the subject of the Parliamentary
Representation, and to defeat that of Mr. 11. Berkeley on
the question of Vote by Ballot. The House, however,
met in goodly numbers, when Sir Joshua Walmsley post-
poned his ill-starred motion for a month ; while the Ballot
was again defeated on a division, which displayed 111 in
favour of the proposition of the Hon. Member for Bristol,
and 151 against it, thus giving a majority of 40 votes
against the proposal. The remainder of the business was
destitute of interest, and the House adjourned at the
unusually early hour of eight o'clock.

FinE.—Last night, about eight o'clock, a fire was
discovered at the cement works
of Alr.eiSutton, b
Pump-
field, Vauxhall-road. On an alarm
ngongiven,.the
engines and fire brigade from Temple c
under Mr. Hewitt, hastened to the scen of conflagration Court station,
In about an hour the fire was got under, after in damages to the amount of between .£5O an‘dtlnOnOn.
