THE KING AND QUEEN OP HANOVER.

The King of Hanover gave audience yesterday morn-
ing to Lord and Lady Lyndhurst, and several other pri-
vate friends of his Majesty.
At 3 o'clock his Majesty, accompanied by the Queen
of Hanover, who left the residence of the Legation for
the first time yesterday, went to Buckingham Palace to
pay a visit to the Queen and Prince Albert.
The Queen left the Palace, attended by her lady in
waiting, at 4 o'clock, and drove to St. James's Palace,
to pay a visit to the Duchess of Cambridge. Her Ma-
jesty returned to the Legation, and afterwards took a
drive in the Parks with her illustrious relative.

The King of Hanover accompanied the Queen and
Prince Albert to the St. James's Theatre at 4 o'clock,
to honour the performance of the Cologne Choral Union
with their presence. Her Majesty brought the King
home to the residence of the Legation in her own car-
riage at 5 o'clock.
The King afterwards took equestrian exercise in
Hyde-park, accompanied by Baron Reitzenstein.
The Crown Prince and the Princesses of Hanover
paid a visit to the Duchess of Kent yesterday, and after-
wards took a drive to Hampstead.
In the course of yesterday the King of Hanover in-
structed his Excellency Count Kielmansegge to wait
upon the Countess de Bille at the residence of the
Danish Legation, in Lower Berkeley-street, for the pur-
pose of offering his Majesty's condolences on the melan-
choly bereavement she has sustained.
The King and Queen of Hanover attended the State
concert at Buckingham Palace last night.

THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA.—A meeting took place
at the Town•hall, Manchester, last evening, to confer
upon the propriety of representing to Parliament the
necessity of securing at this juncture the future deve-
lopetnent of the resources of India.

VESSEL STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.—During a severe
storm of thunder, lightning, and rain which passed over
Liverpool on Sunday, the fine ship the Prince of the
Seas, from St. Johns, N. 8., lying in the Brunswick
Dock, was struck by the electric fluid, which split her
main royal-mast, royal yard, and destroyed her signals.
COUNTY OF EDINBURGH ELECTION.—The Sheriff has
fixed Saturday, the 25th inst., for the election of a mem-
ber for this county.
London, England, 1853-06-21

SOUTIIGVARK.-(TIIIS DAY.)

Gross DEPRAVlTY.—Frederick Bell, a costermonger,
was charged with violently assaulting Mary Bell, his
wife.

The complainant stated that on the previous morning
she went at her husband's request to see a female ac-
quaintance, at a lodging-house in Kent-street, and on
her return in the evening he knocked her about in a
frightful manner, and had not the police interfered she
believed he would have murdered her. He was a brutal
lazy fellow, and compelled her to go into the streets and
gain money in an immoral way to keep him and their
three children, for he would not work.
Mr. A'Beckett said she was a disgraceful woman, and
could have no excuse to do as she had stated, whatever
might be his orders.
The prisoner said she was a very bad woman, and had
left him and the children to live with another maa.

......
Complainant—Yes ; that was because you turned me
out of doors, and what was Ito do to maintain myself,
but to seek the protection of another man.
Mr. A'Beokett said he never heard a more depraved
character in all his life. Had she any sense of her
duty or morality she would have gone to work in
an honest manner, and if her husband ill-used her he
could have been punished. His neglecting to main-
tain her would also render him liable to punishment,
therefore, she had no excuse in living in such a disgust-
ing manner. However, her bad conduct would not
allow the husband to behave like a ruffian, and it must
have been a most disgusting state of mind in him to run
after such a had woman, He could not allow one of-
fence to justify the other ; therefore he should fine him
405., and, in default of payment, commit him for one
month.

THE SULT/tY WEATHER AND L. lIYAM'S DRESS.

rrHE sun has begun to shine forth with his
JL accustomed summer strength, and the oppressive heat of the
weather is daily felt and talked of. Cumbersome clothing should
now be completely thrown aside for dress of a completely opposite
character.
Summer Lounging Coats, fine, flexible, and light in texture. and
loose and airy in design and make, are manufactured by L. HYAM,
in a style which must command complete satisfaction.
The Summer Trousers of L. Hyam, in a manifold variety of plain
and fancy fabrics, and a novel and rich assortment of seasonable
Vests, are also worthy of prominent reference, as being peculiarly
adapted to the present season.
The Dress Coats and Frock Coats 'do the Proprietor's Establish-
ment an equal amount of credit, and are strongly recommended to
purchasers.

NEW RAILWAY COMPANY IN CANA DA.

The arrangements which have been long pending for
the formation of a general system of railways for Canada
by a continuous main line that shall connect and incor-
porate the lines already in existence or in progress have
been completed. The new company is to be called the
Grand Trunk Railway Company of Upper Canada,
and its aggregate capital is fixed at 9,500,0001., of
which 3,623,0001. is now to be raised in England, in
shares and guaranteed debentures. Of the remainder,
the sum of 1,416,4001. has been already raised in
Canada ; 837,600/. is still to be allotted there, and
3,623,0001. is taken by the contractors, with the stipu-
lation that they shall reserve two thirds of that amount
to offer them to the present subscribers at par_ on the
Ist July, 1854, 12 months after the anticipated opening
of an important section of the line. The shares are to
be for 251. each, and the debentures will be issued pro
rata. These debentures are divided into two classes,
one class being simply debentures of the company, pay-
able in 25 years, with half-yearly interest at 6 per cent.,
and the option of converting them into shares any time
before 1863 ; and the other being virtually the bonds of the
provincial Government, payable in 20 years and bearing
interest at 6 per cent. They will both be in amounts
of 1001. each, and thus every subscriber of 2001. in
shares will also take 1001. of the railway and 1001. of
the Government debentures. The entire length of the
line will be 1,112 miles, and it will extend from Trois
Pistolles, the great shipping port of Canada in summer,
through Quebec, Montreal, and Toronto, to Sarnia, on
Lake Huron, including likewise the St. Laurence and
Atlantic Railway, the American portion of which will
be leased, and by which the whole route will be opened
up to the port of Portland in the State of Maine. Ac-
companying the prospectus is a copy of the recent dis-
patch from Lord Elgin to the Colonial-office, showing
the extraordinary progress made by Canada during the
last 10 years, and consequently the favourable prospects
of a cheaply constructed national railway, secured
against all competition and supported by the Govern-
ment, passing through the richest lands of the province,
and embracing all the produce and passenger traffic from'
the far west to the Atlantic. The directors in London
are Messrs. Baring, Glyn, Blake, M'Calmont, Kirkman
Hodgson, and Alderman Thompson, and in Canada the
Board comprises some of the principal members of the
Government.
