however, the whole question, that the English Govern-
!tient 'would, with shot and shell, oppose the. Ambas-
sador, after having led him to understand that the river
was free to him and his. fleet ! The fact is, as we have
lust said, Austria is jealous of France and England
being allied in any military or naval' enterprise. She
Was averse to it in the affair of the Crimea ; and she is
equally averse to it, it is evident, even in China. This
is not a feeling, however, that can possibly do Austria
any good, either with France or England.

The announcement given in our late edition of
Saturday, of a formal proposal having been made to the
master builders of the* metropolis, by the operative
masons, of their willingness, at length, to abandon the
nine hours' movement, and to work ten hours a-day as
'Usual, provided the masters would agree to withdraw
the 4, Declaration," is one of the surest harbingers of
Peace that have yet appeared. It indicates a return on
the Part of that portion of the turn-out workmen to a
better mind, and ought to be regarded, therefore; as
'worthy of the highest encouragement. However im-
Portant it may be to prevent the work-people entering
into combinations, resulting every now and then in
these mischievous " strikes," we certainly 'think that,
under the present circumstances, the withdrawal of the
obnoxious 41 Declaration" will not only be graceful, but
polite on the part of the masters.
The fact of the Morning Post, condemning Lord
.tanhope's recent allusion to the absence of Irishmen in
the present administration, is easily aoeounted for. Our
contemporary, as is well known, is in the service of the
noble Premier • andit is his duty, therefore, in ordinary,
to defend him from any such imputation. More than this,
the circumstance of Irishmen having been so completely
overlooked in Lord Palmerston's ministerial arrange-
ments, is one which may well induce any Government
organ to take up the cudgels for its patrons with all the
gour it can display. We do not think there is any
ogle thing likely to prove more damaging to the
Administration, at present than that slight upon Irish
13tateR
-Men • and there is every reason to belieie that the
irieh People generally feel it to be most offensive.

VISIT OF HER MAJESTY TO

NORTH WALES

We believe there is no doubt ot its being the present
intention of her Majesty, on her return from the
highlands, to honour Colonel Pennant, of Penrhyn
Castle, Menai Straits, with a visit, should the weather
be at all favourable, and nothing intervene ito render it
necessary for the Court to be in London earlier than is
at present arranged. This circumstance has given rise
to a report, for which,. however, we understand there is
but slight foundation, that her Majesty Will, at the
same time, pay a visit to the Great Eastern, at Holy-
head. Should the Great- Ship have been got round to
liolyhead by that time, it would be highly probable
that the Queen
board might take advantage of it, to go on
and inspect so wonderful a vessel, in the success of
which it is well known both her Majesty and the Prince
Consort tak •
learn at tae
a lively interest ; but from what we can
Easterjresent, it is extremely doubtful that the Great

bue will remain, our informant states, "on a strictly

will go to Windsor." It is evident from this,
therefore, tha the isit to the Great Eastern is not con-
templated on a roachinc, occasion of her Majesty's
being in Wales. 17

The Lord Bishop

James H.

This evening the annual meeting of the Society will
be held in the Hall of the Collegiate Institution—the
Rev. Rector Campbell presiding. The meeting is ex-
pected to be addressed bythe Right Rev. the Lord Bishop
of St. Helena, the Right Rev, the Lord Bishop of
Brisbane, Australia, the Rev. C. E. Driberg,
missionary recently returned from India, the Rev. David
Williams, M.A., Rector of Rannerch, and Honorary
'Canon of St. Asaph, and others.
As, from the peculiar facilities which a town like Liver-
pool presents, for giving practical effect through its
.eommerce, with all parts of the world, to the important
objects of such an institution as this, the advocacy of
its claims has a deep and peculiar interest here. Its
annual meetings have generally been well attended ; and
there is every reason to hope that the meeting this even-
ing will be more than usually crowded by an attentive
audience, prepared to respond in a liberal Christian
BPlrit to the appeals that will doubtless be so eloquently
made for their generous support.

TWE lir NICIPAL ELECTIONS.—GREAT GEORGE WARD.
--Intimation having been given by Mr. A. Shand, who.
retires from the representation of this ward in November
next, that he will not again present himself for election,
his numerous private duties requiring the whole of his

solicit Mr. John Buck Lloyd to allow himself to be pat
