A series Rev. Charlesof partiesKSydney, and
at Windsor Castle during the visit of the Princess
Frederick William and her consort. A great number
of invitations have been issued, and include many of
our most distinguished nobility, and those who were
more especially honoured with the personal friendship of
the Princess Royal. There will be a succession of
visitors to the Castle throughout the whole of this week.
It is rather expected that the birth-thy of the Prin-
cess Royal, on the 21st instant, will, like that of the
Prince of Wales, be celebrated this year at Windsor
Castle. The Prince and Princess Frederick William
certainly intend remaining in England up to Saturday,
the 19th, but beyond that date no arrangement has yet
been made.
According to the Curt Journal, there is a rumour of
an alliance between an illustrious Princess and the
brother of a reigning Duke of Germany. " The sub-
ject," it is observed, "is yet too young to be spoken of
more distinctly on either side, ana we only allude to it
as it is beginning to be whispered about, knowing that
the report of such matters, in very early days, is not to
be given too great credence to."
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, with the
Hon. Colonel and Mrs. Bruce, were entertained by the
Vice-Chancellor at Pembroke College, Oxford, on
Saturday last. Among those who had the honour of
ainning, Amyx rrig ulicao, were tne v iee-
Chancellor and Mrs. Jenne, the Marquis of Bowmont,
Earl Brownlow, the Warden of Wadham College and
Mrs. Symons, the Provost of Queen's College and Mrs.
Thomson, the Warden of All Soul's College and Mrs.
Leighton, and Professor Brodie and Mrs. Brodie. In
the evening a large party, comprising most of the
heads of houses and their ladies, some of the neighbour-
ing gentry and the elite of the university, had also the
honour of meeting his Royal Highness by invitation of
the Vice-Chancellor.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mrs. Gladstone
left town on Saturday evening for the Deanery at
Windsor.

The Duke of Devonshire continues to reside at Hard-
wick Hall with several members of his family, and
during the week the noble duke has been entertaining
several distinguished visitors. -
The marriage of the Earl of Dalkeith and Lady Louisa
Hamilton is fixed to take place on Tuesday, the 22nd
instant.
Lord Granville is still with his countess at a family
residence on the Rhine. Her ladyship has been in much
danger, though now all apprehensions of a fatal termi-
nation have ceased.

WAKEFIELD ELECTION.—The inquiry into the alleged
corrupt practices at elections in the borough of Wake-
field was resumed in that town on Saturday, after an
interval of nearly three weeks. The commissioners
were Mr. Serjeant Pigott, Mr. W. IT. Wiles, and Mr.
Wyndham Slade.—Messrs. T. B. Charlesworth and J.
L. Fernandes, jun., who were on the Continent when
the commission first sat, and Mr. George Moore, who
was " out of the way" during this period, were examined.
The tenor of the evidence adduced was much akin to
that which had previously been given. After sitting
till four o'clock, the further sitting of the commission
was adjourned to yesterday.
