ROYAL VISIT TO NORFOLK
HOUSE.
Her Majesty and the Prince Consort last night
dined with the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, at their
residence in St. James's-square, the birth• place of
George 111.
The company invited by the Duke and Duchess to
meet her Majesty at the banquet arrived in the follow-
ing order:—
The Marchioness of Westminster, accompanied by her
son, the Eat 1 Grosvenor, Lord and Lady John Russell,
the Marquis of Granby, Sir Robert and 11,ady Peel, the
Duke and Duchess of Buecleuele Sir Edmund Lyous,
Barr., G.P.B , the C anitess of Ellesmere, Lord Foley,
and the Dukebf Wellington.
Her Royal
.liighness the Duchess of Kent arrived
pr: cisely at eight o'clock, attended by the Lady Augusta
Bruce and Sir George Coupr. Her Royal Highness
was received in the entrance hall by the Duke and
Duchess of Norfolk and the Ladies Mary and Adeliza
Fiizalan Howard.
The formal reception of her Royal Highness was
scarcely completed when the Queen's carriages drove
up to the mansion. Tne Duke and Duchess of Nor-
folk, with the Lady Adelize and Lord Edward Fitzelan
Howard, were immediately in attendance, and on her
Majesty and the Prince alighting they were received by
the noble host and hostess with the most profound de-
monstrations of affection and respect. The Queen took
the arm of the Duke of Norfolk, and proceeded to the
drawing-room, folloWed by_her-Royal Consort, on whose
arm leant the Duchess, the Lady Adelizt following in
the rear with the members of the royal-suite.
As the Queen entered the mansion, the fine band of
the Royal Horse Guards Blue, under the direction of
Mr. Tutton, played a few bars of the National Anthem.
At a quarter•past eight o'clock her ,Majesty, resting
on the arm :of the Duke:of Noreolki`.lncered the ben- -
quetting-room, Prince Albert litidisak ther-Dtichesi' of-
Norfolk, the other guests following in succession.
At the table her Majesty the Queen sat upon the
right hand of the Duke of Norfolk, the Duchess of Kent
sitting upon his Grace's left. On the right of the Queen
sat, in the order named, the Prince Consort, the Duchess
of Norfolk, Lord John Russell, and the Countess of El-
lesmere. Upon the left of the Duchess of Kent sat the
Duke of Wellington, the Countess of Desert, the Duke
of Buccleuch, and Sir Robert Peel. • The Marquis of
Granby faced the noble host, having the Duchess of Buc-
clench and the Marchioness of Westminster respectively
upon his right and left.
During the banquet the band performed the following
selection of music, specially chosen by Mr. Tutton, with
immediate reference to the-well known appreciation of
the royal guests for the compositions of the great com-
posers whose names are appended in the annexed pro-
gramme :

Overture, " Camp of Silesia" Meyerbeer.
Introduction and Chorus, "Antigone" ▪ Mendelssohn.
Waltzes, " Anglesey" Tutton.
War March of the Priests, " Athalie" • Mendelssohn.
Chorus, "Amide"
Scherzy from the Septett Beethoven.
Immediately after the dessert had been placed on the
table, the Duke of Norfolk rose and proposed " The
Queen." The Noble Duke simply, but emphatically,
pronounced the two words, without preface or addition,
and the company, rising, drank the toast in silence. Her
Majesty having bowed her acknowlA.dgments, the Duke
rose again, and proposed " Prince Albert," in like man-
ner, and his Royal Highness having made a similar ac-
knowledgment, the Duchess of Norfolk conducted jthe
Queen, accompanied by the Duchess of Rent and the
rest of the lady guests, into the noble rooms forming the
saloons of Norfolk House.

The banquet was succeeded by a grand ball, for which
invitations were issued to about two hundred leading
members of the aristocracy. These later visitors began
to arrive shortly before ten o'clock.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester ar-
rived about ten o'clock, attended by Lady Georgians
Bathurst and Colonel the Hon. H. T.. Liddell.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge and
her Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duchess of
Mecklenburg-Strelitz came shortly afterwards, at-
tended by Lady Augusta Cadogan and Mr. E. St John
Mildmay.
At ten o'clock her Majesty, the Prince, and the guests
proceeded to the ball room, an apartment of compara-
tively limited dimensions, on the ground floor of the
mansion, but the apparent extent of which was greatly
increased by the erection of an orchestra for Strauss 's
baud, at the upper end, in the garden, the musicians
being skilfully disposed amongst the shrubs and flower-
ing plants, a spec;es of impromptu conservatory; and
through this vista again was to be seen all the remains
of the orginal old Norfolk House, in which George 111.
was born, and otherwise historically memorable. It is
row disused, or used only as an auxiliaty for domestic
purposes to the mansion in St. James's-square, and which
is about some few hundred yards in advance of it. The
whole frontage of the old building was splendidly illu-
inn pa in oninnrnA

The ball was opened with a quadrille, her Mijesty
leading off with Lord Edward Fitzalan Howard, and the
Prince Consort dancing with the Lady Mary Fitzalan
Howard.

This quadrille was followed by a waltz, in which h(r
Majesty danced with Prince Albert, the Lady Emily De
Burgh with the Hon. Percy Herbert.

knacks quadrille folhwed, in which the Queen
again danced, on this occasion honouring the Marquis
of Granby with her hand, the Prince Consort dancing
with Mdlle. de Flahault.

Her Majesty subsequently danced in the Stradella
quadrille with the M irquis of Kildare, the Prince Con-
sort taking the hand of the Hereditary Grand Duchess
of Mechlenburg Strelitz, and Prince Richard Metternicla
that of 11Idlle. Olga de Lechner.

In the " Gubz,licquadrille, her Majesty honoured Lord
Alfred Paget with her hand. The Queen afterwards
danced with the Earl Grosvenor, and from the moment

her Majesty entered the ball-room until midnight, the
period at which she took her departure, the Queen
omitted to dance but once, and that when a polka► was
played.

" Samuel W. Blackall, Esq.

The Queen and the Prince, accompanied by their royal
relatives, left the ball room at five minutes after mid-

_..-.
night; and very shortly afterwards her Majesty and her
R val Consort, having taken an affectionate leave of
their noble host and hostess, left Norfolk House for
Buckingham Palace.
The other royal visitors left shortly after the Queen,
but the festivities were kept up by the general company
until a much later hour.

Lon]) JOIIN RUSSELL.—We regret exceedingly, in
concluding our notice of this brilliant festivity, to be
obliged to state that Lord John Ruitell was seized with

a fainting fit in the ball room, about eleven o'clock, and
carried out insensible. His Lordship speedily revived
when brought into the open air, and shortly afterwards
left, in company with Lady John Russell, for his man.

similar attack in the House of Commons. We sincerely
hope, therefore, that nothing serious need to be appre-
hended from the present affection. His Lordship, at the
moment he was seized lAst evening, was engaged in an
animated conversation with the Countess of Wilton.

[PRICE SD.

TO THE SECRETARY OF -THE
METROPOLITAN REFORM ASSOCIATION.
Sir,—On Monday the 18th, was a prolongerland remark -
able passage of arms between the Member for Sheffield
and the Irish representatives. As usual, Irish heat was
not a match for English phlegm ; and the single assail-
ant had the palpable mastery. The position of the Irish
was lesble to begin with. When men have placed
themselves in the situa'i of capital criminals, and a
Government from motives of kindness has intimated,
perhaps irregularly, that the intention was to spare their
lives, there is nothing romantic, nothing attractive,
nothing which as the world is constituted rallies cup•
part and popular feeling, in their countrymen turning
round on the Government and throwing its moderation
into its face, in the guise of asserting that the Govern-
ment has new p..rtid with its power over the ermine's.
It is clear that- under such circumstances, any and every
Government must resist, and any and everybody who
does not wish to hold up the case as a warning to future
Governments, must aid it in its resistance.
Nothing is worse policy, than for a division 3r party
to put itself in the position of those whom nobody can
please. There may certainly be such positions; but it
is policy to keep out of them. There can be no 'acces-
sary and inherent reason, why the moderation of a
Government taking a step in the progress of civilization,
should not have been received with content if not with
gratitude, by those who from any kind of associations
were interested in the event.
On Tuesday Lnrd Lincoln , brought forward the
subject of Vancouver's Island. Great Britain is looking
about for places to send its overflowing population to, as
Noah did when he found more descendants than could
live comfortably within the timbers of his ark. And at
this moment an island of vast extent, and possessing
many valuable qualifications of soil, climate, harbours,
and nattirai productions, is turned over, nobody can teli
whf, to a Company-whose god is -a bear-skin, and which
knows no use for earth or water, except to nourish
vermin that have furs. It is as if an English landlord
were to determine to live upon his polecats. If such
a landlord were found, it would surely be doubtful
policy in a country hard pressed for land, to take a
new district and add by Act of Parliament to his pre-
serves.
The Government was deprived of the opportunity o
replying, by the House being counted out.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
AN OLD REFORMER.

MR. ROEBUCK AND MR. FOX.

The following correspondence has take❑ place on the
subject of the altercation in the House of Commons on
Monday night:--

"Junior United Service Club, Tuesday, June 19.
" Sir,—Having been requested by Mr. Fox to demand
from Mr. Roebuck a retraction of the word falsehood,'
as applied to an expression of Mr. Fox's in the Howe
of Commons last night, and having been referred by
the latter g, ntleman to you, I have to request that you
will inform me wheih-r you are prepared, on the part of
Mr. Roebuck, to withdraw that expression, he having
expressly stated last night that he only did so in a Par-
liamentary sense.

" I have the honour to be your most obedient,

`` SAMUEL W. BLACKALL.
" The Hon. M. F. F. Berkeley."

"Admiralty, June 19.
"Sir,—On the part of Mr. Roebuck, I feel that after
the public denial which that gentleman had given on a
former occasion to the same accusation as that made by
Mr. Fox, that Mr. Roebuck can only retract the word
falsehood' as applied to Mr. Fox's expressions, on
that gentleman withdrawing the imputation which he
cast on Mr. Roebuck, of being the ' hired advocate of
rebels.'

" I have the honour to remain your most obedient,

" Ili. F. F. BERKELEY.

"Junior United Service Club, June 19.
"Sir,—ln reply to yours I have to state on the pert
of Mr. Fox, that not having been in the House of Com-
mons on Friday night, nor seen the report of the debate,
he was not aware that Mr. Roebuck had already pub-
licly denied being the hired advocate of rebels, and that
had he known it he would not have repeated the
assertion.

" I trust that the word falsehood' as applied to Mr.
Fox may, therefore, be withdrawn, as requested in my
letter of this morning.
"I have the honour to be your most obedient,
" SAMUEL W. BLACKALL.
"The Hon. M. F. F. Berkeley."

that had he been aware of such denial he should not

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

By the Trafalgar we have news from the above sta-

tion to the 19th -of April inclusive. Affairs in the in-
terior are quiet, and the native police were doing duty
most faithfully and effectually. The inhabitants of the
colony were iu the highest state of excitement at the pro-
posed intention to send convicts thither. The feeling
runs so high against it, that it is surmised the attempt to
carry into force the order in council will be attended
with unpleasant consequences.
The Governor was at Cape Town.

The following officers were passengers by this ship:—
Captain Brown, 53d, Captain Kennedy, 46th M.N.L;
Lieutenant Cooper, ditto; Lieutenant Crosdaile, 61st;
Quarter-master Peel, 53J, Queen's.
Passed the Enterprise, of Falmouth, water-logged,
dismasted, and abandoned; had apparently been so some
months.

Her Majesty's ship Hercules sailed from the Cape for
England April 17.
Pietermauritzbourg had been visited with a❑ awful
storm of thunder and lightning, which had done con-
siderable damage to property.
The Trafalgar spoke the Vernon, Prince of Waler,
Tudor, and Queen—all for London.

ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB.
The first sailing match of the present season of this
club, came off on the Mersey, on Saturday last, for two
prizes. Many of the members of the club, including
Thomas Little ale, Esq , the Commodore, and most of
the officers, and a large party of ladies, attended on
board the Royal Adelaide steamer, engaged, with a band
of music, to follow the match. The following yachts
were entered to contend, and the sailing was admirable
throughout, with a fine breeze from the N.N.W. :
Enigma, 25 tons, R. B. Preston, Esq.
S2abird, 30 tons, 11. Melling, Esq.
Jilt, 19 tons, H. Lowe, Esq.
llebe, 15 tons, F. Horner, Esq.
Ranger, 12 tons, T. W. Tetley.
The yachts started from the Commodore yacht, the
Queen of the Ocean, abreast of Rock Ferry, and sailed
round the Bell buoy and back, a distance of about 28
miles. At the usual signal, the yachts started, the
Ranger having an advantageous start; the Enigma
fouled the Seabird on the starboard tack, and might have
been prevented re criving any prize at all if the owner of
the Seabird had made the usual protest. After a well
contested race the yachts arrived at Rock Ferry in the
following order of time:—

to the Hon. Secretary,
and in the middle of the race
lost a man overboard, who, his anxiety in setting a
topsail, lost his footing: by, in
great exertions of the crew
and the handiness of the yacht in stays, his life was very
fortunately preserved. This threw her out of all chance
of the race, and she declined the contest.
The Jilt also got disabled by carrying away the jaws
of gaff.
The prizes were delivered on the quarter-deck of the
steamer to the wieners by the Commodore, in suitable
and complimentary terms. Both gentlemen made suit-
able and feeling replies in acknowledgement. The ladies
kept up the spirit of dancing with the gentlemen, and the
company disembarked at seven o'clock, after being
highly gratified by the day's excursion, and the polite
attention throughout of the Commodore, officers, and
stewards of the club, was the theme of much admiration
on board the steamer.

THE SIEGE OPERATIONS AT CHATHAM.—The 17th
Regiment of Foot, under the command of Lieutenant-
Colonel Stoyte, now stationed at Canterbury, has been
ordered to march thence on the 22d inst., to arrive at
Chatham on the 23d, in order t- take part in the grand
siege operations at that place on the 30th inst. The
regiment consists of 39 officers, 64 non commissioned
officers, and 750 rank and file; total all ranks, 853
strong.

Yesterday morning, shortly before four o'clock,
the Golden Lion Tavern, Wardour-street, Soho, the
property of Mr. J. IL Smith, was discovered to be on
fire. The inmates were immediately aroused, and for-
tunately succeeded in effecting a safe retreat. The
engine of St. Anne's perish was quickly on the spot,
followed by several others of the London Brigade and
West of England Company. No time was lost in setting
the engines to work, and owing to the exertions of the
firemen the flames were confined to that portion of the
premises in which they originated. Fortunately Mr.
Smith was insured in the Sun Fire-office.

ST. STEPHEN'S CHURCH KENT-STREET. - This
church was consecrated yesterday by the Lord Bishop of
Winchester. The church is in the early English style of
architecture, and is built of brick, with Bath-stone
dressings. It affords accommodation for 600 adults and
200 children. The Rev. J. 11. Simpson is the incumbent.
