THE ADDRESS TO THE QIrEEN.

The LORD MAYOR, on taking his seat, said that he had
to report to the court that, agreeably to their instructions,
he had the honour of waiting on her Majesty with the depu-
tation appointed by the court to present to her Majesty the
address as agreed to by them. The sheriff attended the in-
terview, according to the ancient custom, and the deputa-
tion entered her Majesty's presence. Two other deputations
also waited upon her Maj.sty, one headed by the Lord
Mayor of Dublin and the other by the Lord Provost of
Edinburgh, They had an intimation to the effect that her
Majesty's health was in such a state as to render it expe-
dient that the address should not be read to her. He had
the honour, however, of handing it to her, and received a
verbal answer in addition to a written address, which he
should lay before the court, and which was as follows :
" City of London,—l thank you sincerely for your loyal
and affectionate address.

" I am truly sensible of the gratifying proofs of loyalty and
attachment to myself and the royal family which have been
exhibited by the City of London, not less in their deep
sympathy in my heavy grief than on the occasion of the
marriage of the Prince of Wales. I earnestly pray that this
event, in which all classes of my subjects have (flown so
warm an interest, will conduce not only to the happinfss of
my family, but the welfare of tn) faithful and attached
people."

The address was received with applause, and ordered to
be entered on the journals of the court.

CARDINAL POLE.

The noble cast of the cardinal's countenance, proclaiming
his royal descent—his reverend air, increased by the long
grey beard that descended to his waist—the benignity and
sweetness of his looks—the stateliness of his deportment—
all produced an indescribable effect on the spectators.
Lofty of s'ature, and spare of person—the result of
frequent fastings—Pole, notwithstanding the ail-
ments under which he laboured, carried himself
erect, and ever maintained a most dignified deport •
went, To complete the picture we desire to present, it may
be necessary to say that his garments were those proper to
his eminent ecclesiastical rank, namely, a scarlet soutane,
rocket, and short purple mantle. his silk gloves and hose
were scarlet in hue, and from his broad red hat depended
on either side long cords, terminating in tassels of two
knots each. These garments became him well, and
heightened the imposing effect ot his presence.
" A Brush with the Brigands," is the alliterative
title of an article by one who was an eye-witness ot
some of the skirmishes of the "so-called Briganti,"
as he designates them in another place.
" Queen Dagmar, the Sea-King's Bride,"
is a moat attractive paper at the present
day. It details to us that favourite romance of the
Danish people—" beloved as fable and believed as
truth"—the story of Queen Dagmar. "Solitude in
Crowds," by Monkshood, " The Channel Islands and
their Legends," " Saunterings in S'amboul and its
Suburbs," and a brief poem on Astrolenka. ento ie
" A Voice from Poland," are among the other con
tents of Bentley's Miscellany for April.

with a number of Prussian soldiers sufficient
to disarm them. The whole of this ob-
servation seems inconsistent from beginning
to end. In the first place, what a scan-
dalous thing it is that there should be any
arrangements between Rassia and Prussia. No
Minister worthy of the name would stand up in the
House of Representatives of a country professing to
have a free constitution and say such a thing. It is
a stigma that can never be removed from the repu-
tation of the men who have encouraged or propa-
gated such transactions. It is a lasting source of
regret to all honest citizens of the realm whose
rulers have formed so discreditable a connection.
Several members then repeated the different re-
ports that had been made by the Ministers of the
Western Powers. To this Herr BISM ARK replied
that they had teen misinformed, he also said
that the Prussian Ambassadors in Paris and
in London had been misunderstood. This is simply
ridiculous, and it is not probable that many of
those who heard it believed in its accuracy. It
was an ingenious evasion of a delicate question,
and an adroit subterfuge, when plain statements
would not have been either polite or pleasant.
The last interogatory was yet more unsatisfactorily
replied to. When asked what was to be done with
the refugees from Russian Poland ,Count EULENBERG
said that the Government wished to be clement,
but that, on the other hand, they were obliged to ful-
fil the obligations they had contracted with Russia,"
This is a sad state of things to exist in a country
from which so much was once expected, and no
one can read this summary of the debate, or
reflect upon it, without grieving deeply
for the failure alike of King and
Ministers in carrying out the professions they
have made. They once held out the promise of
acting worthy of a country ruled en constitutional
principles, and whose people were to be alike
the beacons of progress and the heralds of
enlightenment to other less favoured nations,
now they speed the tyrant on his way, they offer
every facility to the despot ; and the ruthless de-
stroyers of their fellow-men, find in them willing
agents in their attempt to put down all freedom and
to trample upon the most sacred rights of man.

There were last week thirty deaths more than the
number that would have occurred if the rate of
mortality had not exceeded the average.
There were thirty-four deaths from small-pox in
the week, twelve of which occurred in the Small-
pox Hospital. This disease rages in the sub-district
of Poplar, where no fewer than seven deaths oc-
curred from it. Of these seven, three were the
deaths of adults, namely, a Trinity lightsman, aged
fifty-seven, at 24, Thomas-street ; a master builder,
aged thirty-nine, at 7, Ellerthorpe-terrace ; and a,
sawyer, aged fifty-six, in North-street Infirmary.
The deaths from measles rose to fifty-seven, of which
four were in the north-west sub-district of Chelsea,
twelve in the district of Westminster, and four in
the sub-district of Whitecross-street.

Phthisis was fatal in the week in 171 cases, the
corrected average being 175 ; bronchitis was fatal
in 176 cases; against an average of 168; and pneu-
monia in ninety-two cases, the average being 110.
Six nonagenarians were returned, the oldest of
whom were two men, aged ninety-three and ninety-
five.
A farrier and his -wife died of typhus in the St.
Giles Workhouse on the same day. They had been
brought from Chapel yard, Coram-street.
At 26, President-street East, City-road, tho
daughter of a shoemaker, aged five, was found dead
in bed on the 11th of March, from "starvation."
A single woman, aged fifty-eight, died from hay.
ing been trampled on in a crowd, and from disease of
the heart. A woman aged forty-bis died of typhus in.
St. Luke's Workhouse. The disease is said to have
been induced by crushing in the crowd on the 10th
of March, between the Mansion House and Bow
Church.
Last week the births of 1,085 boys and 1,073 girls,
in all 2,158 children, were registered in London. In
weeks of the years 1853-62 the ten corresponding
the average number (corrected) was 2,134.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-TUESDAY.

For the Newmarket Handicap, the Physalis colt was in
great force, hardly anything else being backed. Bto 1 was
at one time taken about Bedouin, but afterwards 9 to 1 was
offered bar one, and 12 to 1 bar two. For the City and
Suburban Handicap, beyond Catch'em Alive being rather
freely supported at 20 to 1 and th Glenochty c• It being
sent to the right about, nothing particular was done.
On the Derby the business was almost confiued to the
favourite and the Glenochty colt.; 100 to 15 was taken half
a dozen times about the former, but. 6 to 1 was refused; and
the last we saw of the latter was 15 to 1 to a " termer"

HEALTH OF LONDON.

(From the Registrar General's Report.)
A high rate of mortality has prevailed in London
during the last three weeks of March. In the second
and third weeks the deaths were respectively 1,561.
and 1,624 ; in the week that ended last Saturday
they were 1,594. The mean temperature the
air fell to 38.1 deg. in the second week
of the month;a l
in the following week it was 41 deg., and last week
it wrs 48 deg.

There were last week thirty deaths more than the
number that would have occurred if the rate of
mortality had not exceeded the average.
There were thirty-four deaths from small-pox in
the week, twelve of which occurred in the Small-
pox Hospital. This disease rages in the sub-district
of Poplar, where no fewer than seven deaths oc-
curred from it. Of these seven, three were the
deaths of adults, namely, a Trinity lightsman, aged
fifty-seven, at 24, Thomas-street ; a master builder,
aged thirty-nine, at 7, Ellerthorpe-terrace ; and a
sawyer, aged fifty-six, in North-street Infirmary.
The deaths from measles rose to fifty-seven, of which
1 four were in the north-west sub-district of Chelsea,
twelve in the district of Westminster, and four in
the sub-district of Whitecross-street.

Phthisis was fatal in the week in 171 cases, the
corrected average being 175 ; bronchitis was fatal
in 176 cases, against an average of 168 ; and pneu-
monia in ninety-two cases, the average being 110.
Six nonagenarians were returned, the oldest of
whom were two men, aged ninety•three and ninety-
five.

DERBY AND OAKS.

Since the reign of James I. was founded the ;
Epsom meeting during his residence at Nonsuch,
its immediate locality has been regarded as classic
ground by our race-loving public. In the little
parish of Woodmansterne is Lambert's Oaks, for-
merly an inn, but latterly a place of some interest
to the Jockey Club, since it gave name to the famous
Oaks stakes at Epsom races. The house, which
stands high and commands very fine views, was
erected by a society called the Hunter's Club, under
a lease from the Lambert family. It afterwards
became the residence of the unfortunate Lieut.-Gen,
Burgoyne, from whom it passed to the 11th Earl of
Derby, whose grandson, Edward Smith Stanley, the
12th earl, much improved it. Here was given on
the 9th of June, 1774, in anticipation of the mar-
riage of Lord Stanley with Lady Betty Hamilton,
the celebrated "fete champere," the first of the kind
in England under the superintendence of Lieut.-
General John Burgoyne. This rural festival fur•
nished the general with the subject of a dramatic
entertainment, entitled "The Maid of the Oaks,"
and which, after a few bo!cl touches from Garrick's
pen, was performed for the first time at Drury-lane
on Nov. 5, 1774:
'Whose is this piece ?—tis all surmise—suggestion—
Is't his—or hers—or yours, sir?—that's the question:
The parent, bashful, whimsical, or poor,
Left it a puling infant at the door;
'Twas laid on flowers, and wrapt in fancied clocks
And on the breast was written—Maid o'the Oaks.
The actors crowded round ; the girls caress'd it,
'Lord, the sweet pretty babe I they prais'd and bless'd it :
The master peeptd—smird-4 ok it in and dress'd it."
On M.y 14, 1779, Edward Smith Stanley, the 12th
Earl of Derby, originated the famed o,ikt, Sakes,
so named from his sylvan retreat at Wood man-
sterne. The first winner of the Oaks stakes at
Epsom was Bridget, a bay mare, foaled in 1776,
the property of the earl. Bridget was of royal blood,
got by King Herod out of Jemima. In the follow-
ing year (1780) the earl started the Derby stakes,
so named out of compliment to its noble founder.
The first winner of the Derby stakes was Diomed,
a chestnut horse, foaled in 1777, bred by the Hon.
Richard Vernon, of Newmarket, and sold to Sir C.
' Bunbury, Bart. Diomed was got by Florizel, out
of the Spectator mare, dam of Pastorella, Fame, &c.
After the death of the Earl of Derby in 1834,
"The Oaks" estate was sold to Sir Charles Grey,
and has since passed to its present proprietor, Mr.
Jeseph Smith.—Notes and Queries.

Congregations will be holden for the purpose of granting
graces, and conferring degrees, on the following days in the
ensuing term,— viz , Wednesday, April 8, and Thursday,
23d; W-dnesday, May 13, and Friday, 22d. Candidates

CAMBRIDGE, ARCH 31.
The museums and lecture-rooms, which it is proposed to
erect without delay, are arranged about a quadrangular
court, 138fL. from north to south, and 114 ft. from east to
west, and occupy about three-fifths of the old botanic gar•
den in Pembroke-street. The south front will be between
170 and 180 ft. from the street, leaving space sufficient for a
future building. The general distribution of the building
is as follows : _ _ _

The Lucasian Professor of Mathematics, and the Lown-
dean and Plumian Professors of Astronomy occupy the
central portion of the south front; the western wing of the
front, and the building on the west side of the quadrangle
are allotted to the Professor of Botany, the Jacksonian
Professor of Natural and Experimental Philosophy, and
the Professor of Mineralogy. The corresponding buildings
on the east side will be occupied by the Professor of Com-
parative Anatomy, and by the Museum of Z ology, in close
proximity to the building at present occupied by anatomy,
chemistry, and botany, which will be altered for the recep•
tion of human anatomy and chemistry only. It was origi-
nally intended to place geology on the unoccupied north
side of the quadrangle, whenever it might bo required to
remove it from its present position beneath the University
library. At present, it is thought that it will be more con-
venient to place it in the large buildin r hereafter to be
erected in front, together with a curator's house, and any
other apartments that may be required.
The space assigned to the prole: sore, respectively, has
been arranged in conformity with written reports of their
requirements furnished by them to the architect, and,
therefore, this building will differ from all others of its
class in being designed by these for• whose use it is in-
tended, and in securing to thq students easy access to the
museums. The style employed will be Italian, but, as the
funds at present in the hands of the University do not ad-
wit of any expenditure on architectural decoration, the
architect, Mr. Salvin, was requested rather to display his
skill in the perfect adaptation of the various apartments to
their use.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

OBTAINING WATCHES BY FRAUD--Robert Nerris, a
young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with ob-
taining some silver watches by means of a forged order
from Messrs. Cox and Co., pawnbrokers and silversmiths,
43, Frith-street, Soho.
Mr. Charles Cox said that on Monday last the prisoner
brought an order purporting to be signed by Mr. A. Jones,
manager at Mr. Longman's, seal engraver, Waterloo-
place, for three silver watches. He told prisoner that he
had not the sort required, and he left, hut in about a quar-
ter of an hour he returned with another order for four
Geneva watches. Not liking the appearance of the order
ho told the pi ibouer that he would nend them to Mr. Jones,
but the prisoner said that he was told to take them with
him, as a teen►leman was waiting with Mt Jones to see
them. He then packed up the watches and gave them to
the prisoner, who left, but took the precaution to send an
assistant atter she prisoner to see that he really went to
Mr. Longman's. On the way there, however, the prisoner
managed to give the assistant the slip, and on his (Mr.
Cox) afterwards sending to Mr. Jones he disocvered that
he had never sent the prisoner for the watches. Ho then
communicated with the police.

Mr. William Augustus Jones, manager at Mr. Longman's,
seal engraver, Wacelloo-place, said neither of the orders
produced were signed by him, nor by his authority, and he
never Pent the prisoner for the watches. The prisoner had
been in Mr. Longman's t mploy, but was discharged in ,860.
Sergeant Achison, A 1, deposed to searching the prisoner
and finding upon him a watch (identified by Mr. Cox.)i The
prisoner said he would tell the truth and said, " This is one
of the watches, and the others I have pledged at different
places."
Prisoner said he had no questions to ask of the witnesses.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded him for a week.
STEALING A VALID ABLE FIRE SCREEN.--Florent
Rollens, a Belgian, was charged with stealing a beautifully
executed needlework fire screen, the property of Mr. An.
till, 37, De sn street, Soho, cabinet maker.
Prisoner denied stealing the screen, and said he met a
man who gave him the screen to put feet to it, he (prisoner)
being a cabinet maker.
Prisoner was committed for trial, the evidence having
been read over to him by Mr. Albert, the interpreter.

A Paris ,e'ter in th,. Salut Public of Lyons says
—I- An incident 'hat has made some noise has just
taken place at the Cafe de if/. Porte-St.-Martin. A writer in
the Figaro-Ptogramme, M. St. Koning, in a theatrical
article, spoke of the actor Br ndeau as being "enor-
mous." The latter meeting M. Koning at the above
cafe two days back knocked him down. The actor and
critic were separated, hut later in the day M. Koning went
to a restaurant where Brindeau was accustomed to dine,
and there gave him a box on the ear. The adversaries
were then both taken before the commissary of police, and
will probably appear before one of the tribunals in a few
'days."

BO W-STREET.

POCKET -PICILING AT A BAPTIST CHAPEL.—TWO men
named Baker and Bentley were charged with picking
pockets.
Mrs Kelloe said, last evening she had been attending a
meeting at the Heppel-street chapel, and on leaving the
building she found the prisoner Baker close by her side.
Immediately after she saw him put his hand in her pocket,
and she then told him he was a very bad man to attempt to
rub hPr in a chapel. Bentley, who was close behind her in
the crowd, then pushed between them, and accosting her
said, "What do you mean by saying I had my hand in your
pocket ?" She told him he was not the person, and that
be knew it, but he became highly indignant at being sus-
pected of picking pockets under such circumstances. She
persisted in her statement, and then another person who had
been watching the men came up.
Mr. Barton said he was an engraver, and as a great num-
ber of robberies had taker, place as the congregation were
leaving the chat el, he watched the prisoners, with whom
there was another man in company. The way they carried
on their operations was somewhat original. Baker went
in front, and on coming near the door he made a sudden
stoppage, winch caused a block, while Bentley, who was
behind, pushed the people forward in great confusion.
This arrangement enabled the third man, who was in the
centre of the crowd, to test the pockets of the ladies with
the greatest security, and he had no doubt several robberies
were then committed. On coming up with them he placed
his walking-stick across the entrance, and then accused the
whole of the party with robbery, which of course they
denied.

A Police-constable of the C division said be was watching
the prisoners at the same time as the last witness, and he
distinctly raw them trying tie pocke,s of the congregation.
At the particular moment Baker put his hand in Mrs
