HER MAJESTY AND THE RETURN OF
THE GUARDS.

The return of the Brigade of Guards from the Crimea
will give to the inhabitants of London another great holiday.
Sir George Grey has announced that sufficient notice will be
given at the time, and it is stated on authority that her
Majesty and her Royal Consort will meet the returning
heroes at the railway station in Waterloo-road, and that
their march into London will be headed by the Queen herself
in person—on horseback, we presume, as the simply going
before in a carriage would scarcely be a royal compliment.
The route of the return will be up the Waterloo-road,
across Waterloo-bridge, by the left along the Strand to
Charing cross, and thence by Pall Mall and St. James's-street
to Hyde Park, where the troops will be drawn up in line
and reviewed. After the review, it is proposed to give the
guardsmen a public dinner by subscription in the great tent
now used for the azalea show at Cremorne Gardens. The
subscription is under the management of several distin-
guished officers, and will be arranged so that the general
public may participate in the pleasure of giving a public
dinner to these brave fellows, who have so well supported
the ancient character of the British soldier for
indomitable courage in the field and in'incible good nature
when the battle is fought and won. Some suggestions have
also been made in giving to the Guards, on their return
from the Crimea, an invitation to visit the Crystal Palace
The subject is, we understand, under the consideration of
the directors, but the difficulty is to decide in what manner
the visit shall be paid. If the whole brigade is invited, and
the men are required to be formed into line for the purpose
of a grand military display, it will afford but little pleasure
to those for whose benefit the invitation would be given ;
and, if the visit be paid, we trust that the Crimean ve-
terans will, like other visitors to the Palace, enjoy a
freedom from the restraint of military discipline, and be
permitted to enjoy themselves among the beauties of nature,
and the wonders of art and science which are provided at
Sydenham.

SUSPECTED MURDER AT ILKLEY, YORK-

SHIRE

A few days since the body of Mrs. Macknight, the wire
of a medical gentleman belonging to Dumfries, but who
had been staying for the recovery of his health at Dr.
Macleod's hydropathic establshment, was found lying dead
on the footpath leading from Ben Ithydding to Ilkley. An
inquest was held, and the result was a verdict of death
from congestion of the brain. Dr. Macleod, of Ben Ithyd-
ding, in whose house the lady and her husband had lived,
expressed, however, a strong opinion that the unfortunate
lady was waylaid and garotted, and her body removed to
the place where it was found, a distance of fully 20 yards
from the road. Deceased's purse was missing, as well as
her handkerchief, and her dress pocket (in which she
carried both) was almost turned inside out. For some
time previous to Monday, a party of gipsies had been
encamped in the immediate neighbourhood, and, within an
hour of the time when the deceased was last seen alive, the
camp was broken up, the whole party suddenly disappeared
from the locality, and their present whereabouts is unknown.
Dr. Macleod, at the post mortem examination, refrained from
opening the windpipe of deceased, because he was unwilling
to disfigure the body, but requested that the windpipe
should be opened on the arrival of her remains in Scotland.
This was done • and on Thursday evening Dr. Macleod
received the following telegraph message from Dr. Ander-
son, Castle Douglas. N.B. :—" We have this day examined
the body of Mrs. Macknighr, and are of opinion that she
has been murdered by strangulation. In addition to super-
ficial marks on the neck, there were deep seated effusions of
blood. The cricoid cartilage and several of the rings of the
trachea were fractured. A reward of £lOO has been
already subscribed for the discovery of the parties
who committed the murder. There is .too much
reason to fear that Dr. Macleod is correct in his
opinion, that on her return from Ilkley, with a
small parcel in her hand, she was pounced upon by
some two or more of those vagabonds who had been seen in
the neighbourhood shortly before; that she was grasped by
the throat with such violence that she dropped upon one
knee; that she was then struck upon the top of the head,
so as to render her senseless, and then carried to the place
where her body was subsequently found ; that she was there
robbed of her purse, but, before her jewellery could be
removed, the robbers were disturbed; that the throat was
grasped by the ruffian with such violence that the unfortu-
nate lady was strangled.

MR. BRIGHT.—We understand that Mr. Bright is now
residing at Ardarchy, near Glenquoich, the property of the
Right lion. Edward Ellice.
RECRUITING FOR THE ARMY.—Orders have been issued
by Lord Panmure that all infantry regiments nerving in or
under orders for the North American colonies shall be in-
creased to 1,200 rank and file each.

MILLBANK PENITENTIARY.—Captain Gambier, Governor
of the Millbank prison, has been appointed a director of
convict prisons; and Captain Bramley, deputy-governor of
Millbank, has been appointed the governor of that prison.
THE PROROGATION OF PaRLIAMENT.—It is confidently
rumoured in political circles that the present session o
Parliament will be brought to a close the third week i
the ensuing month, as it is anticipated all public business
will be concluded by that period.
THE LIGHT DUEB.—It appears from a return issued
yesterday morning that the total amount received for light
dues in the United Kingdom in the year 1855 was £313,926
7a. 3d., being £251,293 12s. 9d. for ever-sea ship', and
£62,632 14s. 6d. for coasting vesels.
ANOTHER ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF BREAD.—On
Thursday morning the under-priced bakers throughout the
metropolis made another advance of 2d. in the price of the
4 lb. loaf. Bread of the second quality is now sold at 9d.
per 4 lbs. •' household ditto, 8d to 80.; and country bread
(unweighed), 71d. per loaf.
THE INDIAN ARMY.—The East India Company, it is said,
have forwarded a remonstrance to her Majesty's Govern-
ment, calling on them to rescind the order for the embarka•
tion of the 6th Dragoon Guards and the 12th Lancers to
India. The Company state that they do not require any
additional cavalry force in the East.

QUEEN'S COLLEGE, CORK.—The enquiry into the differ-
ences between the authorities of Queen's College, Cork, and
Professor Bullen of that institution, has been held before the
court of visitors in Dublin Castle, and it is understood that
the decision was in favour of the council, and professor
Bullen withdrew the appeal. The press was not admitted.
LITERATURE IN LArrcAsurßE.—A proposal has emanated
from some literary gentlemen in Bury, for the establish-
ment of an association to be called the " Northern
Counties' Literary Brotherhood." An annual gathering
of the members at sotne convenient town and the pub-
lication of a quarterly magazine, are the principal mea-
sures proposed.
POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS IN AMERICA.—The Postmaster-
General of the United States has instructed the post-
master at New York, that whenever any letter is deposited
unpaid, he must send a circular notice to the party addressed
that the said letter is detained for want of prepayment, and
that it will be forwarded on the receipt, in stamps, of the
amount due. This plan prevents the accumulation of un-
paid letters, and, if successful, it will be extended to other
cities.

REBUILDING OF CONVENT GARDEN THEATRE.—AII
matters having been amicably arranged with the pro
prietors, the Duke of Bedford and Mr. Gye, it is now
determined that Covent Garden Theatre shall be rebuilt.
Sir C. Fox and Mr. Henderson have entered into a con-
tract, and pledged themselves that six months from the
day they enter the work of reconstruction, the theatre
will be ready for operatic performances.--Musical
World.

HOUSEHOLD TROOPS FOR FOREIGN SERVICE.—It is
intended by the government to send two battalions of the
household infantry to Canada, and orders of readiness for
embarkation are expected at their head-quarters hourly.
It is believed that the 2nd battalion of the Grenadier
Guards and the 2nd battalion of the Coldstreams will be
destined for the service. These battalions are out every
morning for three hours, and again after breakfast for
three hours practising field evolutions.
HORRIBLE SUICIDE ON LONDON BRIDGE.—OR Thursday
morning a respectably-dressed gentleman was observed
loitering on London Bridge. He suddenly got over the
parapet and placed the muzzle of a large pistol to his left
breast. A report was heard, and the unfortunate man
fell over with a tremendous crash against the abutment
of the bridge. A steamboat passing instantly put off a
boat and drags. and he was taken out of the water, and
conveyed to Williams' Ward, St. Thomas's Hospital,
where he soon expired. His age was about 35 years, he
had dark hair, cut close, a moustache, but no whiskers,
round features, regularly formed ; he was dressed in black,
and is supposed to be a Frenchman, named Eugule, of
Warwick-street, Golden-square.
CONICTION FOR MURDER.—At the Central Criminal
Court on Friday, Bernardo Henriquez, 23, a Spanish
seaman, was indicted for the wilful murder of Vassiel
Calliger. The transaction took place in a sailors' lodging
house at the east end of the town, and, according to the
evidence for the prosecution, after a scuffle had taken
place between a man who was in company with the
prisoner and another foreigner, during which blows were
exchanged, the deceased man, who was playing at cards
with another foreigner, suddenly got up from his seat and
ran towards the prisoner, evidently with the intention of
doing him some violence, upon which it appeared he drew
a very formidable knife and stabbed him in the belly,
thereby inflicting an injury of which he died a few hours
afterwards. • It appeared that during the fray the pri-
soner himself received some injury on the face, and he
asserted that this injury had been inflicted by the
deceased. The jury, after a short deliberation, found the
prisoner Guilty of Murder, but recommended him to
mercy on account of his being a foreigner. Mr. Justice
Coleridge, after a short delay, put on the black cap, and
passed formal sentence of death ; and the prisoner, who
evidently understood very little of what was going on, lett
the bar, loudly protesting his innocence, and declaring
that he was the injured party.
