CLOSING OF PUBLIC-HOUSES ON SUNDAYS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES.

Sin,—lt is very pleasing to see the result of the remarks
of our worthy magistrates at the Annual Licensing Session,
on the conduct of the publicans. Many of the respectable
publicans have' in consequence, closed their houses on
Sunday, which does them great credit ; and aritt shows'
the confidence they must have in the gentlemen who sit
on the bench: Although closing on the Sunday may be
felt as a loss by some houses for a time, yet, in the long
run, it will prove a great benefit; and it would be well
for all to bear in mind Sir Matthew Hale's Golden
Rule, which is well known to all.---. Trusting you will
find a small space for this in your journal, I, am, &c.,.

COURT AND OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

On Wednesday, last week, her Majesty, accompanied
by the Princess Alice, the Hon. Lady Churchill, the
Hon. Miss Barrington, and Lord Chas. Fitzroy, arrived
in her carriage at Morven Lodge Park, the shooting
quarters •of Sir Joseph Radcliffe, Bart., where ,gillies
with ponies were waiting for them. Ox alighting, her
Majesty and party got on horseback, and immediately
commenced the ascent of the far-famed Hill of Morvent
J. Coutts, gamekeeper, acting as guide. When al,out
half-way up, the royal party halted for about half an
hour, and had luncheon. The top was gained about
half-past four. The afternoon was beautiful, and an,
excellent view was obtained. On arriving at the bottom
of the hill, the royal party were met by Miss A. Rad-
cliffe and Reginald Radcliffe, Esq., to whom her Majesty
spoke for a short time. Before entering her carriage a
fire was lighted, by order of Lady Radcliffe, who was
prevented from being present through indisposition, and
a cup of tea was prepared, of which her Majesty and
others most graciously partook.
Next Friday, the 30th inst., will be the last day this
vear of the Royal Palace pleasure-grounds and new
Arboretum, at Kew, being open to the public, as they
close for the season on that day.

.
The clerkship of the Crown for the county of Cavan
has been conferred by Lord Carlisle upon Mr. Henry J.
Rae, in succession to Mr. Swanzy, deceased.
