THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO THE CITY•

In every direction, and in every possible way along the
expected line of the Royal procession, preparations arc
making to do unbounded honour to our youthful and be-
loved Queen on the occasion of her visit to the City. There
appears every reason for bclieviHg that the demonstrations
of joyous loyalty and grateful homage will exceed anything
of the kind that has taken place for many years past—
perhaps since those made on the Jubilee Festival in the
reign of George 111. The anxiety to witness the gay
pageant seems to be hourly increasing. Every little nook
of ground along the line of procession is being rendered
available for the accommodation of as many as possible ;
and the carpenters, the joiners, the decorators, and the il-
lumination artists are as busy as possible. St. Paul's Ca-
thedral is surrounded on the west, south, and east
sides by scaffolding, for the greater part of most sub-
stantial construction, with seats rising tier above tier,
and a great deal of it . protected by shelving roofs from
the weather. At the west end, the boys belonging to St.
Pool's Cathedral will take their stations. On the south
and south-east, the principal City Companies will display
their appropriate pageantry in front of the scats, which
will be filled with the select of their corporate members.
The Fishmongers' Company intend to have their banners
borne exclusively • by. aratermen wearing the coats and
. badges.whieli; by the will of Doggett, the comedian, are
ititiu-allYrowed for.. At the . north•east end seats are an-
. 'unurrced to be on sale, application to be made in Great
3,-..der:street-ed;l4-lane. The 4pace facing Cheapside,
illoitesil to tbn_hoysof. the City of
.London School, is being
covered with well-built scaffolding of great height, so as to
allop,of two if not"three distinct galleries, with about seven
rows of seats in each gallery. The number of persons that
can he accommodated will be very considerable, and the
appegance of the galleries, when filled with well-dressed
youthsiiiiid other spectators, will be both pleasing and im-
posing. -.-The view of the procession from this spot will be
most commanding, and nearly equal:if =-net quite so, to that
down Ludgate-hill from the. western front

CathedraCathedral.- .
• •
ats are being raised in -the churm-yard of St. Law-
rence, Jewry ; in that of St. Dunstan, Fleet-street ; and jn
that of St: Mary-lc-Strand. The youths of King's College,
it is understood, will, as far as possible, be accommodated
by ranges of seats erected within the entrance-gates. There
can be no doubt, from the preparations already made, that
the illuminations will be very general and brilliant along and
near the line of the procession, and there appears good
reason for supposing the example will be followed through-
out the metropolis. With respect to public demonstrations
of joy by illuminations, much has been, and will continue to
be, said-pro and con. It has sit least one great advantage,
that of affording temporary employ to thousands who might
otherwiie 6.e pining in distress.at this. dull and inclement
season. •le=Will likewise be well that Ole citizens should
remember that in these days sornAtitig !time is expected
from them: than a mere glittering, monotonous display of
lamps and,gas jets. There is an opportunity for displaying
considerable taste and variety in the devices and transpa-
rencies exhibited.

DUBLIN, OCT. 30.
vpialol.l'loll INTO THE CONDUCT OF MAJOR.
1311OWNE,,S.M.—The Sligo Journal of Friday}' contains a.
very lent;;thened '
report of the proceedings relative to the,
investigation -bite, the conduct of Major Browne, during
the late, election for the county Sligo., ,Th'e inquiry coin-
-menced on Tuesday, the 7th instant, and continued by
adjournments to Friday, the 20th.
• _Several witnesses have been examined, and the result is,
that Major Browne is exonerated from any portion of that
blame which it was the object of his detractors to fix upon
him. The Mail, to-day, in referring to the doze of the
investigation, oddly enough says that " Never was there
so signal a triumph as that obtainol by the Gallant Officer
over his Radical revilers." For " Radical" read Tory, and.
truth will not then bo tortured or fact sacrificed for effect.

TIIE MEETING.—The public are anxiously watching the
event of the " Irish Grand Jury," as it may be called,
about to assemble in Dublin. It is felt that the restd
will test whether men created by and dependent upon the
popular' voice, or moo who may jitney themselves inde-
pendent of it, are the better for the people to choose in
fut
The Sligo Champion states thlt Mr. Abraham Martin is
persecuting every freeholder on his estate who voted against
his'son at the late Sligo election. Our Contemporary de-
tails several petty specimens of annoyance which this gentle-
man has thought fit to employ against his unfortunate
tenants. We believe and sincerely trust that such conduct
will only serve to nerve the, minds of the brave peasantry
against the unconstitutional influence which their landlords
endeavour to exercise over them. When another election
occurs, Mr. Abraham 'Martin may be taught still bettor
the danger of carrying a wanton exercise of power too far,
if ho again attempts to thrust his Incapable as a representa-
tive on the good men of Sligo. Intimidation only braces
bravo minds to a firmer tension.—lbid.
