in the meridian of London, and not of Bengal ;
that their attempt at despotism is here unavailing,
as in place of cringing Hindoos they have sturdy
Englishmen to deal with. We may, however,
judge from the transaction of the spirit by which
they are animated, and of the chance which a
native, whether prince or peasant, chief or ryot,
has of escaping if once he falls within their
clutches.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO
IRELAND.

ment extended to this undertaking by your promise of
those contributions which now grace the Exhibition.

" Acknowledging with gratitude the hearty co-opera-
tion we have received from England and Scotland as
well as from foreign countries, in promoting that suc-
cess which we have laboured to realise, we earnestly
pray that your Majesty and your Royal House may
live long to witness and enjoy the increased prosperity
of your subjects, and the advance in all that can ele-
vate and improve a nation."

The reception given to ler. Majesty and Prince
Albert on Monday at Dublin was all that they
could desire, and in every way worthy of a loyal
and warm-hearted people. Some uncertainty pre-
vailed as to the exact time when they would arrive
at Kingstown, and when the Royal squadron made
its appearance in the harbonr there was no great
crowd assembled ; but the news of its approach
flew like wildfire in every direction, and by 10
o'clock—the hour fixed by the debarcation—a vast
concourse of spectators had collected. The interval
of nearly two hours which elapsed before the land-
ing took place gave the Lord Lieutenant and the
chief magnates of the country time to muster on
board the Victoria and Albert, and to welcome
their Sovereign. The Earl and Countess St.
Germans presented themselves shortly before nine
o'clock, and they were followed by the two Arch-
bishops, the Duke of Leinster, Viscount Gough,
the Marquis and Marchioness of Headfort, the Earl
and Countess of Bective, the Lord Chancellor, Chief
Justice Monaghan, Mr. Dargan, Mr. George Roe,
the Earl of Howth, the Right Hon. J. Hatchell,
the Right Hon. F. Blackburn, Colonel Taylor and
Mr. Hamilton, members for the county of Dublin,
and many other persons of distinction.

COURT CIRCULAR.

HOLYHEAD, AUG. 28,

Early this morning the •Trinity yacht, with Capt.
Shepherd and the Elder Brethren of the Trinity-house,
joined her Majesty's squadron in this harbour.
Divine service was performed on board the Victoria
and Albert this forenoon, her Majesty, the Royal
Family, and the suite, with the officers and men of the
ship's company, being present.
In the afternoon her Majesty and Prince Albert, with
the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred, landed on the
new pier and breakwater, now in course of formation
under the direction of Mr. Rendell, who'was present to
receive them and explain the nature of the work. The
Royal party afterwards drove by the quarries to the
South Stack Lighthouse, where her Majesty alighted to
enjoy the view of -the cliffs, and then returned on board
the yacht. Pyince Albert, with the Prince of Wales
and Prince Alfred, ascended the Lighthouse, and made
an inspection of the building and machinery, which is
under the charge of the Trinity Board (of which his
Royal Highness is the Master) accompanied by Captain
Shepherd, the Deputy Master, and some of the Elder
Brethren. The Hon. W. 0. Stanley and Capt. Shep-
herd had the honour of dining with her Majesty on
board the Royal yacht in the evening.

The following address was presented on board
by Lord St. Lawrence (High Sheriff of the
county), and was most graciously received by her
Majesty :
" We, your dutiful and loyal subjects, the High Sheriff
and inhabitants of the county of Dublin, beg leave most
humbly to approach your Majesty with the sincerest
feelings of attachment to your Majesty's throne and
person, to express our 4eartfett congratulations on your
Majesty's arrival among us.
" We feel deeply thankful to Divine Providence that
we are able to assure your Majesty of a great improve-
ment in the condition of Ireland since the period of your
Majesty's last visit tdthis part of your dominions.
" Former ages have been distinguished, and the reigns
of your Majesty's predecessors have been illustrated, by
successes obtained in war and by the supremacy which
our fleets and armies have gained for our national flag
both by sea and land. It has been reserved for our time
to derive its peculiar characteristic, and your Majesty's
reign its chief glory, from the triumphs of the arts of
peace and from the inauguration of a generous rivalry
among the nations of the world in developing those
sciences which tend to the happiness and prosperity of

DUBLIN, AUG. 29.

The Royal Squadron, under the command of Commo-
dore Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, consisting of the Vic-
toria and Albert, the Fairy, the Black Eagle, the Ter-
rible, the Barracouta, the Encounter, and the Banshee,
with the Trinity yacht in company, put to sea this
morning at a quarter before three and sailed for Kings-
town Harbour, where the Royal yacht anchored at eight
o'clock, followed by the other vessels.
The Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, accompanied by the
Countess of St. Germans, immediately came on board to
receive her Majesty's commands.
At a quarter-past ten a loyal address from the gentle-
men of the county of Dublin was presented to her
Majesty by Viscount St. Lawrence, the high sheriff,
and Lieut.-Colonel Taylor and Mr. J. Hamilton, the
members for the county.
At half-pant ten her Majesty and Prince Albert, with
the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred, attended by the
Duchess of Wellington, the Hon. Mary Bulteel, the
Earl Granville, the Marquis of Brea,dalbane, the Hon.
C. B. Phipps, the Hon. Colonel Grey, and the Hon.
Licut.-Colonel Gordon, landed at the KingstoWn Pier,
and entered the railway carriages for Dublin.
Upon landing, her Majesty was received by Lord
John Beresford, the Lord Primate of Ireland ; Dr.
Whately, the Archbishop of Dublin ; the Duke of
Leinster ; the Right Hon. Maziere Brady; the Lord
Chancellor of Ireland ; the Hon. F. Blackhurne ; the
Right Hon. Sir E. Blakeney, Commander of the Forces
in Ireland ; the Right Hon. James Henry Monahan,
Chief Justice of Common Ple-ts ; the Right Hon. Sir J.
Young, Chief Secretary for Ireland ; and the Earl of
Howth, Lieutenant of the County of Dublin.
At the Dublin terminus of the railway the keys of
the city of Dublin were presented to her Majesty by
the Lord Mayor and the members of the corporation.
The royal party then entered carriages and drove
through Dublin to the Viceregal Lodge, attended on
horseback by Sir Edward Blakeney and Major Coch-
rane, with their respective staffs, and an escort of
cavalry, commanded by Major Pattie, of the 16th
Lancers.

man.
We rejoice that Irishmen have shown themselves
not unmindful of the interest they have in these princi-
ples, and we are afforded an additional reason to wel-
come your Majesty's visit among us, as it gives your
Majesty an opportunity of inspecting an exhibition of
the elegant and industrial arts, the expense of which has
been defrayed by the spontaneous munificence of a single
Irishman, Mr. William Dargan, and which has been de-
signed and carried out almost exclusively by Irish intel-
ligence and skill.
"It also affords us sincere pleasure that your Majesty's
august Consort has in this Exhibition a proof of the sti-
mulus which has been given to enterprise by his Royal
Highness's original conception of the Exhibition of 1851,
for which, and for the general interest taken by him in
the advancement of science and art, the em ire owes a
deep debt of gratitude to his Royal Highness Prince
Albert.
" In conclusion, we fervently hope that your Majesty
may be long spared to afford to your subjects a bright
example of public and domestic virtue, and to reign over
a loyal, contented, and happy people."
In her reply to the corporation, her Majesty
said—
" It is my anxious desire to encourage the industry
of my Irish subjects, and promote the full development
of the great natural resources of Ireland, and I share
with you the confident belief that the striking display of
beautiful productions of art and of industry by which I
am surrounded is to be appreciated not only as an evi-
dence of successful genius, but as a, happy manifestation of
that persevering energy, which, under the blessing of
Divine Providence, is an unfailing source of national
prosperity."-
At 10 o'clock, amid the thunders of a general
salute from the fleet, the Queen for the second
time set foot on Irish soil, and it may be worth
remarking that the spot selected for her doing so
was precisely the same as that where she alighted
on the first occasion. A handsome covered way
led from the pier to the station, and along this ap-
proach, lined on either side by privileged specta-
tors, the Royal family and their suite were con-
ducted. The cheering, which now became general,
swelled into a roar of popular congratulation when
her Majesty, reaching a kind of pavilion at which
the awning terminated, presented herself to the
multitude. outside. These manifestations of loyalty
were acknowledged both by her Majesty and the
Prince. Within the station a large number of

very few minutes, and there, at the Westland-row
terminus, arrayed with civic pomp, were the Lord
Mayor and corporation of Dublin, ready, in com-
pliance with ancient usage, to deliver up the keys
of the city, as a gage of their fealty. The space
available for this ceremony was not a large one,
and her Majesty, having received the congra-
tulations of the Chief Magistrate on her safe
arrival, went in a species of procession through the
principal thoroughfares of the metropolis to the
Vice regal Lodge. These included Lower Merrion-
street, Clare-street, Leinster-street, Nassau-street,
College-green, Westmoreland-street, Sackville-
street, Rutland-square, Gardiners'-row, Temple-
street, Hardwick-place, and Eccles-place. So long
a route, and one so well calculated for accommodat-
ing an unlimited number of sight-seers, tended
greatly to diminish any inconvenient crowding and
pressure. A double line of military kept the car-
riage-way clear for the entire distance, and added
very much to the brilliancy and good order of the
reception. Cavalry and infantry divided this duty
between them, and at points like College-green or
in streets like Sickville-street, where a comprehen-
sive view could be obtained, the coup d'ceil was not
inferior to anything of the kind that has been wit-
nessed for some time on the other side of the Chan-
nel. Dublin is architecturally well adapted for
such displays, and the inhabitants, with a ready
enthusiasm, do full justice to them when they oc-
cur. Lining the foot pavements and filling every
window to the highest storey, they yesterday gave
her Majesty an affectionate welcome as she passed
along. The Royal carriage contained the two young
princes as well as the Queen and Prince Albert,
and, being an open barouche, driven at a walking
pace, the opportunity afforded to spectators for
gratifying their curiosity was as favourable as
could be desired. Preceded by the carriages of
the civic authorities, escorted by troops of the
Ist and 2d Dragoon Guards, the 16th Lancers,
and the 11th Hussars, followed by an immense
number of handsome equipages, and guided in its
course by that -buy remarkable-looking personage,
the City Marshal, the Roya] procession, though
forming a less stately pageant than many that we
have witnessed, was, on the whole, a very brilliant
and effective spectacle. Greater pomp would not
have been suitable to the occasion. Having gra-
ciously acknowledged the loyal manifestations with
which they were everywhere received, the Queen
and Prince entered the Park-gate ; the procession,
except the cavalry escort, filed off there, a Royal
salute was fired from the Park guns, and Lord and
Lady St. Germans, received their Sovereign at the
Viceregal Lodge.
In the evening all .the public buildings, the
leading hotels and shops, and many private dwel-
lings in the metropolis, were brilliantly illuminated.
The principal thoroughfares presented a very strik-
ing appearance thus lighted up, and the whole po-
pulation turned out to witness the spectacle. Sack-
ville-street and College-green were the chief ob-
jects of attraction, but all the leading streets were
filled with people ; and a continuous stream of cars,
which never gave foot passengers a moment's rest
from the terror of being run over, flowed along
them ; pleasure was expressed in every face, and
all seemed to think, as announced in one of the
gaslight legends, that " the good time coming"
had at last "come" for Ireland.
Yesterday (Tuesday) the Queen was to visit the
Exhibition with somewhat of the same state and
ceremony as was observed by her two years ago in
Hyde-park. She arrives at the chief entrance, that
being reserved exclusively for her use, and having
been conducted to a small robing room, tastefully
fitted up for her reception, proceeds thence to the
further end of the Great Hall, where upon a dais
a throne has been placed. Here addresses will be
read and presented to her and Prince Albert on
behalf of the Executive Committee by Mr. George
Roe, its able chairman. The terms of these ad-
dresses possess, as will be observed, considerable
interest and importance ; they are as follow
" TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
" May it please your Majesty,—We, the Executive
Committee of the Great Industrial Exhibition of 1853,
tendering a dutiful welcome to your Majesty on your
arrival in this part of your dominions, desire to express
our feelings of loyal and devoted attachment to your
throne and person.
" Recollecting the deep gratification which your Ma-
jesty afforded to your Irish subjects by your gracious
visit to this metropolis on a former occasion, we cannot
fail to attribute our being honoured by your august pre-
sence this day to your Majesty's special wish to foster
and encourage an enterprise having for its object the
industrial and intellectual improvement of your people.

The Princess Royal, the Princess Alice, and the
Princess Helena, attended by the Master of the
Household, arrived at Buckingham Palace yesterday
evening from Osborne, Isle 'of Wight, en route for
Balmoral.
DEPARTURE OF THE ROYAL CHILDREN FROM OSBORNE
PALACE.—Their Royal Highnesses the Princesses Royal,
Helena, and Louisa, attended by Lady Lyttletnn and
Lieutenant-Colonel Biddulph, left Osborne at 2 o'clock
on Monday afternoon, in her Majesty's steam-yacht
Elfin, on their return to. London. In passing through
Spithead the ships of war fired a Royal salute. The
same demonstration was made from the Platform-battery,
and taken up by the Victory and Neptune on the Elfin
corning into harbour. The little Elfin was speedily
alongside the pier, and the Royal children were received
on landing by Rear-Admiral Superintendent Fanshawe,
Commander-in-Chief pro tent; Captain Courtenay, R.N.,
superintendent of Haslar ; Mr. Davies, master attend-
ant of the Royal Clarence Yard ; Mr. Pinborn, store-
keeper, &c. The Royal children, with their attendants,
were handed into the railway carriages, and left for
London at 3.27, en route for Balmoral.
VISIT OF THE QUEEN TO BELGlUM.—Letters from
Ostend state that her Majesty the Queen intends mak-
ing an excursion to that town to return the visit of the
Belgian Royal Family, and congratulate the Duke and
Duchess of Brabant on their marriage.

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

FRANCE.
It was asserted yesterday in Paris that now,
since the Oriental question is settled, the fleets of
Great Britain and France will return to Malta and
Toulon.

M. Drouyn de Lhuys, who had been for some
days at his country seat near Melun, arrived in
Paris on Monday evening, and though dispatches
were sent off by post on that day to the East, the
Foreign Office dispatched yesterday a courier to
Constantinople.
Lord Cowley arrived from Dieppe on Monday to
receive the despatches brought to Marseilles by the
English steamer, and which reached Paris after 6
p.m. He and if. Drouyn de Lhuys, for whom
also was a despatch, saw each other more than once
in the course of the evening. A courier was sent
off to Dieppe with dispatches for the Emeror, and
those for London were at once forwarded. These
dispatches enter into details, and explain the points
already mentioned in the message published in the
Moniteur of Saturday ; and they announce the ac-
ceptance of the Vienna note by the Porte, with
modifications, which are again described as i` un-
important."
Private letters from Vienna speak of a corre-
spondence said to have passed recently between the
secretary of the Duke de Nemours, who has been
travelling in Germany, and the Duke de Levis. It
had been rumoured that the Duke proposed visiting
his cousin, the Count de Chambord, at Frohsdorf,
and his secretary wrote to the Duke de Levis, in-
timating that such was the intention of the Prince,
and asking whether his visit would be received.
The Duke de Levis, having no doubt previously
consulted the Count de Chambord, is said to have
replied that if the Duke de Nemours paid his visi t
as a member of the Bourbon family, or as announ-
cing the recognition on their part of the Count de
Chambord as the legitimate Sovereign of France,
he should be well received ; but if he visited
Frohsdorf with the object of discussing the fusion,
he, the Count de Chambord, could enter into no
discussion of the kind.
The Brest fleet is completely organised under the
command of Admiral Bruat.
The
_United States frigate Cumberland has
arrived at Marseilles.
Prince Jerome and Prince Napoleon, his son,
left Havre early on Monday morning in the Reine
Hortense for Dieppe.
The Boarse was agitated yesterday, and Govern-
ment securities suffered several fluctuations, ac-
cording as news favourable to the peace of Europe,
or the contrary were circulated. At the close of
business it was generally believed by the speculators
that the Eastern question was arranged, and that
an order had been dispatched from Paris to Admiral
Hamelin commanding the fleet at Besika Bay to
return to Toulon. The Three per Cents. opened
at 79f. 40c., fell to 79f. 15c., rose subsequently to
79f. 70c., and closed at 79f. 60c. for the end of the
