EXTENSION OF 'TIE MONEY ORDER SYSTEM,—
Hitherto money orders could only be granted and paid
at post towns. The Postmaster-General has now de-
cided on extending the benefits of the money-order
system to villages. On and from this day, October 1,
money orders will be drawn and paid at the following
offices:—Blyth, Northumberland; Bridlington-quay,
Yorkshire; Brewood, Staffordshire; Budleigh Salterton,

CASINO DE VENISE.—The Holborn Baths have
been converted into a casino, and now form an agreeable
and attractive place of amusement for the youth of the
metropolis who delight to trip it on the light fantastic
toe. The baths are covered over with an oak flooring,
polished in the continental style, while the walls and
ceilings are elegantly painted and embellished with cha-
racteristic sketches of la dense. The orchestra is both
numerous and efficient, and the dancing arrangements
being directed by a polite body of M. C.'S, the Casino
de Venise is not altogether undeserving of the patronage
it meets.

1-IEII MAJESTY'S DEPARTURE
FROM DERBY.
On Saturday morning, at eight o'clock, her Ma-
jesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, end the
royal suite, quitted the Midland Hotel at Derby, in
the royal carriages, and proceeded to the railway sta-
tion, where there was a special train in readiness to
receive them. Her Majesty was enthusiastically
cheered on her departure.
BIRMINGHAM.

LAURENT'S CASINO.--:.MT. Ellis, the spirited pro-
prietor of Cremorne Gardens, and always an indefati-
gable caterer for the public entertainment, is petitioning
the Middlesex magistrates for a dancing licence, to
enable him once more to throw open the doors of the
Adelaide Gallery to.the numerous votaries of Terpsichore
who have hitherto composed the habitue., of the place.
Laurent's Casino was ever distinguished for the order
and respectability of its management, and it is gratify-
big to know that a large section of the public are backing
Mr. Ellis's application with a petition in its favour.
SUNDAY TRAYELLING IN SCOTLAND.—In the report
of the meting of the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee
Railway, which appeared in the papers of Thursday
last, it was stated that a motion to discontinue the run-
ning of trains on Sundays was met by an amendment,
and that the former was carried by a majority of 324 to
81 votes. This was an error. The amendment was
carried by the majority of 243. We are the more
anxious to notice the unintentional mistake, as this large
majority, together with the victories over the indefati-
gable advocates of unnecessary Sabbath restrictions
which have been lately gained in the North British and
Caledonian Railways, shows that the great bulk of bona
fide Scotch shareholders are in favour of Sunday trains.
THE ORPHANS Of THE LATE LIEUT. AND I\ IRS.
NPKENZIE, OF GREENWICH.—Her Majesty the Queen
Dowager, with her usual munificence, sent a sum of 201.
on learning the state in which the six children of the
late Lieut. M'Kenzie' of Greenwich Hospital, had been
left by the deaths of both their parents, Mrs. M`Kenzie
having been carried off by the cholera whilst attending
the sick bed of her husband, who died the next day.
Lieut. M‘Kenitie was one of the old war Lieutenants,
and was twice wounded. We understand also that the
Governor, Admiral Sir Charles Adam, K.C.8., and all
the officers of the institution, have been most prompt in
endeavouring to ameliorate the condition of these
orphans, and Miss Burdett Coutts has manifested her
kindly feelings in a very liberal manner in this case of
distress.

The royal party arrived at the junction of the
London and North Western and the Bristol and Bir-
mingham Railway, in this borough, at 24 minutes to
ten o'clock. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state
of the weather, some hundreds of persons assembled
on the embankments to witness the arrival of the
royal party. A guard of honour, under the com-
mand of Colonel Arbuthnot, and a strong detachment
of police, under Chief-Superintendent Stephens, were
placed on each side of the line. The Mayor (Mr.
Thornton), the members of the corporation, and a
numerous body of borough magistrates, were early
on the spat, and in addition to other gentlemen of
influence, we observed Mr. Newdegate, ALP., Mr.
Muntz, M.P., Mr. Scholefield, M.P., &c. On the
stopping of the train, and while a change of engine
took place, the following addresses were presented by
the Mayor to the Queen and Prince Albert.
"TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
" We, y our Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects
the Mayor, Alderao n, and Burgesses of the borough
of Birmingham, in the county of Warwick, in council
ass( mblcd, approach your Majesty with the tender of a
respectful but heartfelt welcome.
" We recur with a grateful recollection to the period
of your Majesty's form( r visit to the town of Birming-
ham, in the company of your Majesty's August Mother,
when the hopes of the people hailed your Majesty as
heir presumptive to the throne, and we rejoice in this
opportunity of renewing to your Majesty those ex-
pressions of sincere attachment with which the inhabi-
tants then so cordially greeted the presence of their
future Sovereign.
" We beg most respectfully to express to your
Majesty our warm admiration of your Majesty's consti-
tutional Government, our affectionate devotion to your
Majesty's person, and our unswerving loyalty to the
throne.
"It is our earnest prayer that your Majesty, blessed
in the affections of your illustrious Consort and the
tender love of your children, may long be spared to ex-
tend the genial influence of your Majesty's bright ex-
ample throughout all classes in these kingdoms, and to
receive the grateful homage of a loyal and faithful
people.
" In testimony whereof the corporate common seal of
the said borough is hereunto affixed, the 29th day
of September, 1849."
"TO BIS ROYAL HIGHNESS fiELD-MARSHAL PRINCE
ALBERT, OF SAXE COBURG AND GOTHA.
We, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the
borough of Birmingham, in the county of Warwick, in
council assembled, beg cordially again to welcome your
Royal Highness to this our borough.
"As the consort of our gracious Sovereign your Royal
Highness has justly endeared yourself to the affections of
all who can appreciate the benefits of your illustrious ex-
ample in the virtuous performance of all the duties of
private life.
" With dignified impartiality your Royal Bigness has
used the influence of your exalted station so as to win
the unanimous and grateful approval of men of all parties
and of every class.
" And whilst, as the generous patron of the fine arts
your Royal Highness has entitled yourself to the thanks
of the whole country, your Royal Highness has an es-
pecial claim to the gratitude of a community like our
own, whose prosperity so largely depends on the suc-
cessful cultivation of art, and on the ready support and
encouragement which your Royal Highness has ever
afforded, when the appeal to them has been preferred.
" We beg your Royal Highness to accept our heart-
felt good wishes, and the tribute of our grateful admira-
tion and respect.
" In testimony whereof, the corporate common seal
of the said borough is hereunto affixed, the
29th day of September, 1849."
Her Majesty and her Royal Consort courteously
received the addresses, and subsequently the Prince
acknowledged the great interest he took in the Bir-
mingham exposition of manufactures, and his regret
that, on the present occasion, he was unable to visit
the exhibition.
A fresh engine having been attached to the train,
the Queen proceeded on the Bristol and Birmingham
Railway, en route for the Isle of Wight. The whole
of the proceedings were extremely tame, and did not
occupy more than seven minutes.
WORCESTERSHIRE.
Her Majesty left the Birmingham Junction of the
Bristol and Birmingham Railway a few minutes
before ten o'clock. At the top of the Bromsgrove
Lickey, Worcestershire, about thirteen miles from
Birmingham, there is one of the most acute inclines
upon any railway in the kingdom. At the top of
this incline the train was stopped, and the journey
down was accomplished by its specific gravity, the
steam of the engine being shut off. At the bottom
was stationed a posse of the Queen's Own Worcester-
shire Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by Colonel the
Hon. E. H. Clive, who received her Majesty with
presented arms, the artillery firing a royal salute.
There was no more delay here, however, than is
necessary with all the trains travelling down the
incline, -and in a short time the royal travellers were
again on their way southward. The Stoke Prior,
Droitwich, and Spetchley (Worcester) stations, were
rapidly passed. No address was prepared by the
Corporation of Worcester, it being understood that
her Majesty would journey rapidly through this
county. On the royal train arriving at Eckington, a
small village between Worcester tend Tewkesbury, it
was found that one of the axles of the engine had
become heated. This caused a slight delay, which
retarded the arrival of the train at the subsequent
stations between that point and Gloucester, and at
one time caused some little uneasiness. A few miles
further on her Majesty entered
GLOUCESTERSHIRE.
The royal train did not stop at Tewkesbury or
Cheltenham. The inhabitants of the latter town had
expressed a desire to be permitted the privilege of
addressing the Queen on her passing the town, but
her Majesty declined it on the ground of the delay
which such a step would occasion, her Majesty being
anxious to get to Osborne as early as practicable this
evening. However, on approaching the Cheltenham
station the speed of the royal train was slackened, and
an immense concourse of the inhabitants of that town
having assembled by the side of the line, received her
Majesty with hearty cheers, which testimonials of
loyalty were gracefully acknowledged by the Queen
and Prince Albert. The children of the various
Sunday schools were brought together and ranged
along the line of railway for some distance, there
being from 4,000 to 5,000 altogether.
ARRIVAL AT GLOUCESTER.—The firing of cannon
at half past eleven o'clock announced the approach of
the royal train to the Gloucester station. Here pre-
parations upon a scale of some extent had been made
tor the reception of the royal party, it being necessary,
in consequence of the break of gauge here, that her
Majesty should change carriages at this point of her
journey. Communications were received here on
Friday night by electric telegraph from Derby, inti-
mating that her Majesty would receive the addresses
of the clergy and corporation of the city upon her
arrival. Accordingly, the corporation, headed by the
Mayor, Mr. J. Burrup, and a deputation from the
clergy, headed by the Rev. Sir John Seymour, were
in waiting at the station before ten o'clock, and the
station and neighbourhood for a mile or two along the
line of railway were crowded by gaily dressed people
anxious to obtain a sight of her Majesty. A tempo-
rary gallery had been erected at the point where her
Majesty alighted, for the accommodation of a select
party of ladies (about 200) who were admitted by
tickets. The station was neatly fitted up. The arrival
and departure platforms were covered with crimson
caipetting, and flowers and evergreens were distri-
buted about, giving quite a new character to the other-
wise inelegant structure. Upon the spare lines of
rail running into the station, trucks were placed for
the accommodation of such of the visitors as could not
find room in the gallery. The military mustered
rather strong on the occasion. A guard of honour
composed of a company of Riflemen, under the com-
mand of Captain Lord A. Russell, was
,stationed at
the end of the platform. The Gloucestershire Yeo-
manry Hussars were present, under the command of
Captain Surman and Cornet Bloxsome, and a detach-
ment of the South Gloucester Militia, together
with a body of the enrolled pensioners, under the
command of Captain Somerset, were also in attend-
ance. Two bands of music were also there, one
having been provided by the mayor, and the other
being the Duke of Beaufort's band. Mr. Ellis, M.P.,
chairman of the Midland Railway Company, attended
on behalf of that company, and Lord Barrington for
the Great Western Company, with the secretary, Mr.
Charles Saunders.
On the royal train driving into the station, the bands
played the National Anthem, and the most enthusias-
tic cheers were raised by the vast body of people con-
gregated together.
The train having been brought to a stop, Sir George
Grey alighted, and presented the Mayor, Mr. J. Bur-
rup, to her Majesty. His worship thereupon presented
to the Queen and the Prince the addresses which had
been agreed to.
" TO HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY THE QUEEN.
" The bumble and dutiful address of the Mayor,
Aldermen, and Councillors of the city of Glou-
cester, in council assembled—
" May it please your Majesty,—We, the Mayor,
Aldermen, and Councillors of your Majesty's ancient
and loyal city of Gloucester, joyfully avail ourselves of
your Majesty's auspicious presence humbly to assure
your Majesty of the profound loyalty and attachment
which we, and our fellow-citizens at large, bear towards
your Majesty's sacred person and crown.
" And we earnestly pray that, under the protection of
Divine Pcovidence, continued and increased blessings
may be shed upon your Majesty and your Royal Consort,
that your Majesty's reign may be distinguished by the
glory and undisturbed
prosperity of this great country,
and that your Aclajesty may be visited with every personal

CABINET CouNem—Summoness were issued on
Saturday, by direction of Lord Palmerston, to the
Ministers to attend a Cabinet Council on Tuesday next
(to-morrow), at the Forign- office, Downing-street. Most
of the Ministers are expected to attend, the greater part
being either in town or residing but a short distance
from the metropolis. Lord John Russell is at present
at Woburrf-Abbey; Lord Palmerston, Mr. Labouchere,
Sir Francis Baring, and the Lord Chancellor are in
town ; both Lord Grey and Sir George Grey are
expected in town to-day), the former from
Howick•hall, and the latter from Osborne. The Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer and Lady Mary Wool arrived
in town on Thursday, and proceeded on Saturday to
Woburn Abbey on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of
Bedford. The Right Hon. Gentleman will come to
town on Tuesday, with Lord John Russell, to attend
the Cabinet Council at one o'clock. Lord Palmerston
arrived in town from Bracket-hall on Friday.
EXPLOSION OF A SEWER IN TIIE BOROUGH.—On
Saturday evening, about six o'clock, a fearful explosion
of sewer-damp happened in Friar-street, in the Borough;
there were happily no lives lost, though the shock of the
explosion was felt at a considerable distance round the
neighbourhood. The cast-iron plates. covering the man-
holes i❑ the flag-pavement in Friar-street, were all blown
into the air, and flames came through the gully gratings
into the streets. It appears that the sewer iu Friar-
street has been in a most pestilential state for some time,
and cholera is prevailing immediately around it to an
alarming extent. Notwithstanoing repeated complaints
had been -.nude, nothing had been done by the Commis-
sioner; and on Saturday Messrs. Anderson and Cally,
soap-boilers, were prevailed on by some of the inhabi-
tants, in despair, to attempt to draw off the pestilential
vapour by connecting a pipe.from the sewer with one of
their chimneys. All went on apparently well for about
half an hour, when the explosion occurred.
DEATH Or MR. R. W. LANGSLOW.—It is with
much regret we record the death, at Jaffna, of R.
W. Langslow, Esq., deputy to the Queen's advocate. He
died at Jaffna on the night of the 15th, from an attack
of cholera of only twelve hours' duration. The deceased
was a young man of very considerable attainments, and
of much promise as a public officer. He was the son of
the late district judge of Colombo, so well known in
Ceylon for his independence, and the persecutions he in
consequence endured. Ceylon Overland Observer,

THE BISHOP OF LLANDAFF.—The health of this
esteemed prelate has undergone no favourable change
since our last report; we regret to say, the painful
symptoms of the malady are only at times mitigated,
and although not materially worse, his strength is loss.

and domestic blessing, and long preservsd to reign over
a loyal and devoted people.
" Given under the common seal of tie said city,
the twenty-fifth day of Septernbtr, in the
thirteenth year of her Mljesty'z reign."
The address to his Royal Highness Prince Albert
was as follows :

" May it please your Royal Highress—We, the
Mayor, Aldermen, and Councillors of the city of Glou-
cester, beg permision to express to your Royal High-
ness the heartfelt pleasure which we, in common with
our fellow-citizens at large, feel on your Royal High-
ness's appearance, though for a very short period, at
this place, and our profound respect for your Royal

The intimate ties which unite ycnr Royal High•
ness with the happiness of our beloved Queen and
the future prosperity of these realms, invoke our most
earnest prayers for your Royal Highness's welfare, and

_ _

" Given under the common seal of the said city
the twenty-fifth day of Septembcr, in the
thirteenth year of her Majesty's reign."
Tl.e following address from the clergy was also
presented by Sir John Seymour

"May it please your Majesty,—We, the clergy of the
cathedral and of the city of Gloucester, beg leave to avail
ourselves of your Majesty's passage through this ancient
city to approach you with the expression cf our loyal
and devoted attachment to 3 our M.ijesty's person and
government. At a time when so many nations are dis-
tracted by fearful civil comrnotions, we rejoice in the
opportunity afforded us of testifying our deep gratitude
for the successful efforts of your Majesty to preserve the
people committed to your chare in health, peace, and
godliness, and our sense of these virtues which render
the home of your Majesty and the Prince Consort a
model to all the families of the land.

" That Almighty God may be pleased to endue your
Majesty and your Royal Family with His heavenly
grace, and to prosper you with all happiness, is, and
ever must be, Madam, the earnest prayer of our hearts.
" Unanimously agreed on at a meeting of the clergy,
Sept. 27, 1349."

Immediately after the receipt of the addresses, her
Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Royal children left
the narrow gauge train, and walked across the plat-
form to the broad gauge train, and in less than ten
minutes after her Majesty's arrival she again took her
departure for Swindon. The engine was a powerful
eight-wheeled engine—the Warlock. On the de-
parture of the royal train the air was rent with accla-
mations, and there was a general rush to catch a
glimpse of the royal party.

SWINDON.
The arrival at the Swindon junction of the Chel-
tenham and Great Western Railway took place at
half- past twelve o'clock precisely, where her recep-
tion by the assembled thousands must have convinced
the Queen of the devoted loyalty and attachment to
her person felt by the whole of her subjects in that
district. Although the notice of the intended pro-
gress of the royal party by this route was necessarily
very short, preparations for their reception were made
on the most extensive scale. The magnificent station
was decorated with arches and festoons of evergreens
and flowers; the platform was carpetted with crimson
cloth, and the passage through which the royal party
had to pass waS bordered on each side by rows of
exotic plants and flowers, placed upon appropriate
stages. The various buildings connected with the
Great Western establishment were also dressed with
flags, &c. ; and a band, composed of twenty of the
workmen engaged in the Swindon engine establish-
ment, were stationed on the platform, and performed
a variety of tunes.
The saloon of the Swindon Hotel, adorned with
rich carved work, and painted in the arabesque style,
was fitted as a refreshment-room for her Majesty's
suite, a handsome defamer being laid in the centre of
the saloon, which was separated from the second-class
department by rich hangings of crimson and gold,
surmounted by richly-carved and gilt cornices, and
the initials " V R." This room also was rich in the
choicest floral varieties, which were tastefully ar-
ranged on marble tables and stands. A smaller room,
fitted in superb style with furniture of rosewood and
crimson velvet en suite, and communicationg with the
upper apartments of the hotel by a staircase, hand-
somely decorated for the occasion, was provided for
her Majesty and the Royal Family, for whose refresh-
ment a magnificent repast was prepared. The table
was served with gold and silver plate, and was orna-
mented with three superb fruit and flower stands, two
of silver gilt. Adjoining this was a dressing-room,
fitted with a similar regard to elegance and comfort.
Her Majesty was graciously pleased, through
Lady Barrington, to express her approbation of the
preparations made for her reception by Mr. and
Mrs. Phillips, and intimated, through Sir G. Grey,
her permission to designate the Swindon Hotel in
future as the Queen's Royal Hotel. At a quarter
past one o'clock, her Majesty and suite having stayed
three-quarters of an hour at the hotel, re-entered the
saloon carriage amidst the deafening and enthusiastic
cheers of thousands of her loyal subjects, whose
gratulations were acknowledged in the most gracious
manner by her Majesty and Prince Albert, and in a
minute the engine started and the train was speedily
out of sight.
