London" on May, at the Gallery of Illustration in Regent-
streot. Mr. Lemon has added a great amount of humorous

he could latve anticipated or desired.

OLDHAM ELECTION..-- DEPUTATION TO MR.
HIBBERT.—A body of the electors of Oldham, interested in
promotir g the Permissive Bill of the United Kingdom Al-
liance, waited upon Mr. Hibbert, the candidate for the
vacant seat, yesterday afternoon, to urge upon him the
claims of " temperance politics." Mr Hibbert, whilst fully
admitting the deplorable effects of drunkenness and the =-
satisfactory character of the present system of licensing,
was not yet fully prepared to adopt the principles enunciated
in the suggested measure of the Alliance. He felt, how-
ever, that the subject deserved seriousconsideratint.
HER MAJESTY'S JOURNEY TO SCOTLAND.—On
Wednesday night, about seven o'clock—as briefly stated in
our impression of yesterday—her Majesty, accompanied. by
the Princesses Alice, Helena, Louise, and Beatrice, and
Prince Alfred, took her departure from Windsor for Bal-
moral. At half past nine the royal train reached Learning-
ton, where refreshments were served. The
in
was
only for a few minutes, and as her Majesty
travelled the
s
utmost privacy, no spectators were permitted upon the
platforms. At the Bushbury Junction, near Wolverha.tnp-
ton, a short stoppage took place, and from thence the train
proceeded onward to Perth, where it arrived at 8.38 yester-
day morning. Her Majesty having breakfasted at Perth,
the train proceeded northwards at 9.55. Her Majesty
arrived at Deeside Junction, Aberdeen, at 12.36, and left
for Balmor ,1 at 12.40. Balmoral was reached at 3.45.
