—This Preparation conta'ns, in a highly concentrated state, and
without the addition of any more heating stimulant, all the car-
minative and restorative properties of this useful and .graeffil aro•
matte, separated from the ligneous fibre which constitutes the bulk
of the root. As few stomachs are able to bear a sufficient quantity
of the powder to produce the desired effect, BE WL EY, FISHER, and
CO. conceive this form of exhibition the most convenient, when
taken in water, tea, beer, wine, &e. ; or for combination with other
medicine, ten drops being equal to eight grains of the powder. It is
recommended to persons of Phlegmatic, Gouty, Dyspeptic, and Ner.
vows habits. Its beneficial effects are quickly diffused th:oughont
the whole system, relieving cramps, sp isms, flatulency, pain, and
sense of oppress', 41 atter meals, and restoring the tone of the
stomach. Its utility is also manifested as an adjunct to other medi-
cines, and in eorrectmg the chill which soda and other aerated or
mineral waters give the stomach, as well as in adding to their tonic
property.

and quieting properties in the above complaints, and especially in
the troublesome cough attendant on consumption. To increase its
efficacy, Bewley, Fisher, and Co. have combined it with hippo and

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND.

(From the Chronicle.)
DUBLIN, THURSDAY EVENING. The military
spectacle which took place to-day in the Phcenix-park
was upon a grander scale than any seen within the
last score of years between the four seas of Britain.
The greatest review which, until this day, her
Majesty has witnessed, was, if I mistake not, the
military demonstration which took place in Windsor-
park before the Emperor of Russia some half-dozen
years age On that occasion the number of troops
upon the ground did not, I think, exceed 5,000. To-
day, nine entire regiments of infantry and calvary
took part in the nianmavres, flanked by one troop of
Royal Horse Artillery of four guns, two batteries
of Field Artillery of
.four guns each, a battallion
of the Rifles, and a strong body of the Constabulary
who are soldiers, and well-trained and steady
soldiers too, in everything but the name. There
were altogether, I believe, between 6,000 and 7,000
armed and disciplined men upon the ground.
The display passed off with the utmost brilliancy.
The weather, with the exception of half-an-hour, was
superb. The crowds who witnessed the military
movements—orderly, yet enthusiastic—the evolutions
themselves performed, so far as a lay spectator can
judge, to a nicety—and the reception of the royal
party everything which could be wished.
The review had been fixed for ten o'clock this
morning, and for many hours previously a stream
of public and private vehicles was making its way
to the Phoenix. Carmen and coach-proprietors in
this part of the world are generally exceedingly
reasonable in. their charges, but during the last few
days they have been making up for lost time. A
five-pound note -was the lowest item of the tariff
fixed by the livery-stable people for a carriage to
the review; but in this charge. I ought to say that,
in many instances, a night's lodging was included;
for certain enthusiastic ladies and gentlemen, in
their zeal for good places, actually got into their
carriages overnight, drove to the ground, took
up their positions in the localities assigned to
them, and slept as they eat. I, not, how-
ever, being quite so eager, and not having the
slightest desire to change a four-poster for a
bivouac in a jarvey, managed, while the enthusiasts
were packing up their sandwiches and their night-
caps, to drop into the Theatre Royal, a handsome but
somewhat dingy house, not very much smaller than
Drury-lane. The performers were principally Lon-
don stars ; but I mention the fact of my visit to the
establishment as it enables me to state, that when be-
tween the pieces " God save the Queen " was played
by the orchestra, the national hymn was as warmly
received and as loudly cheered as ever it was by the
most loyal London audience. After the anthem, " St.
Patrick's Day" was played, the entire gallery per-
forming a species of sitting jig with their legs in time
to the lively music.

But I must mount a car and be off to th 3 Phcenix
an exploit, however, more easily talked about than
performed—for cars were at a wonderful premium,
when they were to be got at all. I pitied the unlucky
steeds as I drove along, making one of the vehicular
procession up the Quays. There is no saying, how-
ever, what a carpet-bag will bold, and there is as little
known of what a Dublin hack will carry—aye, and
trot cheerfully along with to boot. I am sure I saw
many cars to-day clustered over with from ten to a
dozen stout men and women, and getting along very
well for all their load.

From the entrance to the Park at the Wellington
Pillar, the road became one dense mass of vehicles—
the pedestrians scattered on all sides, and making
their way across the greensward. The morning was
lowering, the air warm, the sky cloudy, and altoge-
ther impregnated with a thundery aspect, which
foreboded rain. Accordingly, shortly before ten
o'clock a smart shower fell, and presently every clump
of trees sheltered its group of cowering sight. seers.
As for the ladies and gentlemen in the open cars and
carriages, they pulled their shawls round their heads,
muffled themselves up in pea-coats and wrappers, and
jogged drippingly onwards. The rain continued for
a good halt: hour, and at one time I feared that we
were to have a wet day of it. The entire sky was a
mass of dusky, lowering clouds. A wet drizzly
mist seemed to hang above the trees, and it was only
at intervals that the purple outlines of the 'Wick-
low hills peeped through the dull masses of blotting
vapour.

At length, however, the forenoon lightened, and
the mist lifted. Presently the sun burst forth, and
for the remainder of the day we suffered more from
heat than moisture.

The review took Owe in that portion of the Phoenix
called the "Fifteen acres." Ladies and gentlemen
learned in Mr. Lover's novels will remember that
these "acres" constitute the Chalk-farm of Dublin.
They are the traditional duelling ground of the
capital, and many a gay young Irish gentleman has
been lifted all stiffly from that fatal greensward with
an ounce of lead through his brains or his heart. T
►-
day theq was plenty of powder burned above it;
happily, however, the balls were omitted by particular
desire.

The " Fifteen-acres" consist of a perfectly level
and treeless expanse of bright green turf. The title,
however, is a misnomer, as the extent of ground in
question numbers nearer a hundred than fifteen acres,
a fact certified by a Dublin attorney of proverbial
methodical and business habits, who, in accept-
ing an invitation of " pistols for two" on the
Fifteen-acres, prudently subjoined, " be they more
or less." .A. finer expanse of greensward for
military purposes cannot be conceived. The eye
ranges uninterruptedly along the wide arena,
bounded upon the one hand by the open breezy ridge,
whence the ground sinks down to form the valley of
the Liffey; on the other, by clumps and avenues of
spreading trees. The troops, previous to the com-
mencement of operations, were drawn up in one long
line, slanting as it were across the ground, and form-
ing the base of a triangle, of which the thronging
ranges of spectators, backed by masses of carts, cars,
and carriages, and by the far-stretching foliage of the
trees, made up the sides.

The line of troops extended from the woodland,
across the vast expanse of turf, to the horizon of the
view—the long and serried range of military showing
like a wall—one of the proverbial walls of Sparta—a
wall of men. I stood at the extremity of one flank of
the line, terminated by a battery of flying artillery—
the other wing of the far-spreading array absolutely
faded into the thin soft mist which hovered above the
ground.
The number of the regiments which took part in
the proceedings have already, I believe, been trans-
mitted to you by your regular Dublin correspondent,
with the names of the commanding officers and the
general official arrangements. I shall, therefore, in
the following paragraph, merely describe the features
of the review and sham fight as they struck the eye of
an unprofessional spectator, believing that in doing so
I shall be supplying what will interest the general
reader far more than lists of staffs and technical de-
tails of military manoeuvrings.
You are then to imagine on the breezy space of
the Fifteen-acres a vast triangle, of which, as I said,
the military formed the base, the spectators the sides.
On one of the latter, a little in front of the lines, was
planted a high flag-staff, marking the position which
the royal party would take up. The troops, of course
stood serried and immoveable scattered sen-
tinels here and there showed the position of
the pivots round which the evolutions would
turn—the gay staffs of Sir Edward Blakeney, the
Commander- in-Chief in Ireland, and of Prince
George of Cambridge, the Commander of the Dublin
garrison, moved hither and thither glittering in the
sunshine ; while ever and anon an aide-de-camp,
after the mysterious fashion of these gentlemen,
would fly from one party of troops to another, as if
the event of .a battle and the fate of a dynasty de-
pendel upon the employment of his spurs.
All this time the people were arriving fast. Ar-
rangements had been made. by which hack cars
were to be placed in a different and inferior position
to that assigned for carriages; but the jarveys were
intrepid, the pulice were mild and forbearing, and
so it came to pass that wherever there shone the
livers, of the family coachman, there flourished also
the badge and the frieze of the car-driver. The
people were exceedingly orderly, and as cheerful
as possible, cracking jokes with the police and the
few Hussars who kept the ground, the intercourse
being carried on in an amicable and confidential
style, not often witnessed in an English crowd. Now
and en, indeed, a few unruly spirits from behind
would get up a rush forward, and partly and partially
impair then even symmetry of the line ; but as a
general rule, -there was little pushing. Everybody
was as comfortable as anybody in a crowd possibly
can be ; and
the ladies were, by general consent,
politely handed to the
front. Immediately behind
the throng of pedestrians, the array of cars and car-
riages was drawn up under the shadow of the trees,
every available branch of which, by the way, was
crowded with fine specimens of the Dublin gamin.
Indeed, a few ladies had nerve and agility enough
to clamber into the foliage, when the boughs were not
so high as to be of very difficult access. I remarked,
in wandering about in the rear, the general abstinence
of the people in the way of eating and drinking. No
spirits or malt liquors could be got, save nearly a
mile behind the lines, and the booths there were
scanty and had scanty custom. A London mob of
pleasure seekers would have consumed more dozens

than the Dublin people drunk bottles. There was a
sprinkling—a slight one—of gipsies ; but the ball o.f
the roulette-table rolled as merrily round as ever it
does on Epsom Downs when the Derby has been won
and the champagne bottles emptied,
. Very shortly after ten o'clock, the royal party
made their appearance upon the ground, occupying
three open carriages-and-four, and attended by a very
brilliant and numerous staff of mounted officers, and
an escort of Hussars. The white liveries of Lord
Clarendon's household followed the scarlet uni-orms
of the Queen's attendant; and immediately after leis
Excellency's equipage came that of "Ireland's only
duke"—his Grace of Leiaster. The royal party en-
tered the lines, and rode along the array of spectators
to the flag staff, upon which the royal standard was
hoisted, amid the loud acclamations of the crowd.
Now then it was hoped that the warlike proceed-
ings would actually commence. Her Majesty, how-
ever, first rode along the entire line of troops—
cavalry, infantry, and artillery ; and it was not
until she had returned to her station near the royal
standard that a general movement amid the staff,
and a supernatural activity on the part of the aide-
de-camps, showed that the review was actually
about to begin. I have said that the list of troops
has been transmitted by your regular correspondent.
At the risk, however, of iteration, I will reca-
pitulate the regiments concerned. There were
upon the ground, then, one troop of Royal Horse
Artillery, of four guns; two batteries of Field Ar-
tillery, of four guns each; the 6th Dragoon Guards,
the 6th Dragoons, the Bth Hussars, the 17th Lancers
(Prince George of Cambridge's regiment), the 2d
battalion of the. Royals, the 2d or Queen's Regiment,
the 40th Regiment, the 48th, the 55th, the 71st, the
2d battalion of the 60th Rifles-, and a very large and
well- discipliaed body of county constabulary.
The evolutions commenced by a general advance of
the whole line, the sun shining brightly upon the
waving feathers and glittering steel. - Then each
regiment wheeled into independent line, and, amid
the clang and clash of military bands, marched in
slow and measured time before her Majesty. The
effect of this was very pretty, as squadron after squa-
dron and battalion after battalion passed along, the
flutter of the Lancers' flags and the Dragoons' plumes
seen mingling with and overtopping the bristling
lines of sparkling bayonets. Presently, after having
made nearly the circuit of the review ground, the
regiments formed again in their original line, and in
their original position. Then came the sham battle.
And here, at the outset of this desperate but un-
sanguinary engagement, I must confess my ignor-
ance of the system of tactics adopted. I saw plenty
of firing, plenty of charging, but I could see no re-
present ation of the enemy which was to be riddled by
bayonet and ball. The Artillery opened a fire by
banging away upon each wing ; then there was a
dashing charge of Hussars through the wreathing
smoke, and in a few minutes the firing, as they say
in bulletins, " became general." I cannot attempt
to particularise the wheelings, the deployings, the
rushes of Cavalry, and the charges and counter-
charges of Infantry which followed. Now, the troops
would appear in one long line ; the Artillery would
thunder on either wing, sending columns of white
smoke along the sward, and only permitting you at
successive intervals to hear the shrill clamour of the
signal bugles. Then, in a moment, responsive to the
music-sent command, a rattling discharge of musketry
would crackle down the long line, clouding the array
with little upurts of bluish semi-transparent smoke,
and sounding like a quick roll of drums. In a mo-
ment thereafter, the line of fire would be broken,
and the Cavalry would dash gallantly forth between
the wheeling columns of Infantry, the Artillery
rattling forward on either flank to cover the advance.
One movement in particular—the most coherent in
the eyes of a non-military man, performed during the
day—was as interesting as it was beautiful. First
the Artillery fired some half-dozen rounds, quick and
fast, and, as the smoke blew away, the Lancers
rushed out in the midst, forming for a moment a com-
pact and smartly moving mass. Then, suddenly
quickening their speed to a wild gallop, they couched
their flag-crowned spears, and, bursting out of rank
on either hand like the spread of a plume, dashed
hither and thither across the green sward, each
horseman bent on separate and guerilla like warfare;
thus, as it were, sweeping the ground in
front, and retiring round either flank to the rear.
But the enemy were supposed to be not yet dis-
lodged ; and as the Lancers galloped away out came
from the main column a dusky cloud of Riflemen
running forward at a quick trot, firing and reloading
as they went. Suddenly a bugle sounds—down go
the sharpshooters on the grass to a man, while the
cannon play above them. Then the trumpet sounds
a recall of the skirmishers, while the main body ad-
vance by regiments—the cavalry charging in great
sweeping rushes between them—the infantry now
moving on, now flinging themselves into squares, and
keeping up a gallant and constant fire. At length
the decisive moment appears to have arrived, and,
forming into one vast serried column, supported by
masses of cavalry and artillery, the infantry move
rapidly forward, their pace soon increasing to a sharp
run, as their muskets are brought to the charge, and
the imaginary foe sees flashing down upon him that
tremendous species of attack—that assault which no
hostile line has yet stood its ground against—a sweep-
ing charge of British bayonets ! This general ad-
vance was the climax of the day's proceedings ; and
with it the imaginary battle was supposed to have been
fought and won.

Before her Majesty left the ground, I understand
that she warmly expressed her gratification at the
proceedings of the day, at the fine appearance and
high discipline of the troops, and at the skill with
which they were put through the complicated evo-
lutions which they performed.
I add, from your other reporter here, the parti-
culars of Prince Alberts's visit to several public
institutions in Dublin after the review.

VISIT OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE
ALBERT TO THE ROYAL ACADEMY.

At three o'clock this day his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, accompanied by his Excellency the
Lord-Lieutenant, the Marquis of Lansdowne' the
Marquis of Breadalbane, and Earl Fortescue, ar-
rived at the Royal Academy, for the purpose of
inspecting the various objects of interest contained in
that institution. The secretaries had previously
received a communication from the private secre-
tary of the Lord-Lieutenant, stating his Royal
Highness's desire to make his visit with every possible
degree of privacy, and the secretaries consequently
felt bound to close their doors against all persons ex-
cept those in attendance on the Prince. lie was
received by the Rev. Dr. Todd, the Rev. Charles
Graves, and Dr. Petrie, the Irish antiquary. Those
gentlemen exhibited to his Royal Highness the most
remarkable objects of antiquity preserved in the
museum. He minutely inspected them, and asked
several questions indicating an intimate acquaint-
ance with the subject. Amongst the various relics
that attracted his attention were the Cross of
Cong, the Crozier of St. Kieran, the Feachal
Phzdring (a reliquary containing a tooth of St.
Patrick), and the splendid collection of golden
ornaments in possession of the Academy. His
Royal Highness next passed into the library, and
amongst other interesting works, some of the most
remarkable of the Irish manuscripts were shown to
him. He viewed the book of Ballymoate, the
speckled book, the Leabhar na bumdhri, the book of
Armagh, with its curious leathern cover,
rri cover, the Domnach
Airgid. This last mentioned relic is, properly speaking,
not a book, but a silver case, containing a copy of the
Gospels. It is said that it belonged to St. Patrick,
and was originally written on vellum, but by the
operation of time it has assumed the appearance of a
solid mass of a brownish hue and brick-like substance.
His Royal Highness also inspected the autograph
copy of the four masters, the inscriptions in the
Ogham character, and noticed with much interest the
ancient bells, brooches, and bronze weapons in the
society's collection. Having remained about an hour,
his Royal Highness took his departure amidst the
acclamations of the spectators, a large number of
whom were assembled in Grafton street.
It may not be uninteresting to mention that the
house this day visited by Prince Albert is the remains
of Mornington House, and the birth-placa of his
Grace the Duke of Wellington.
At a meeting of the Royal Academy, held prepara-
tory to her Majesty's visit, Prince Albert was
elected an honorary member.
VISIT TO THE COLLEGE OP SURGEONS.
From the Royal Academy Prince Albert proceeded
to the Royal College of Surgeons, where he was re-
ceived by the president, vie-president, and some of
the members of the council, by whom he was con-
ducted through the museum, library, and board-room.
His Royal Highness having expressed his satisfaction
at all he had seen, took his departure for the Royal
Dublin Society.

VISIT TO THE ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIETY.
About five o'clock Prince Albert's carriage ap-
peared at the gates of the Royal Dublin Society, old
Leinster- house. His Royal Highness had been long
and anxiously expected by hundreds of persons
assembled both in and outside the gates, and
when he did appear he received a most en-
thusiastic welcome. Some faint hopes were
entertained during the day that the Prince
would not come alone—that her Majesty would
accompany him; but a review in the morning

under a burning sun, and a drawing-room in the
evening, were deemed sufficient by her Majesty for
one day's work ; and, therefore, she did not come.
On the arrival of his Royal Highness he was con-
ducted into the board-room of the society, which was
crowded with spectators. Amongst the individuals
in attendance on the occasion were the Duke of
L.inster, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl of
Kingston, Bishop of Limerick,. the Lord Mayor, Sir
H. W. Barron, the Right Hon. the Master of the
Rolls, Earl Fortescue, &c.
On his Royal Highness entering the board-room,
the following address on behalf of the society was
read and presented to him by Mr. L. E. Foot, one of
the honorary secretaries
TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT.

" We, the Vice-President and members of the Royal
Dublin Society incorporated by R ,yal Charter for the
promotion of husbandry and other useful arts in Ire-
hnd, take advantage of the present auspicious occasion of
your Royal Highness's first visit to Ireland, in company
with our Gracious Sovereign, to tender our profound
respects, and cordial congratulations.
" Your Royal Highness having condescended td be-
come Vice-Patron of our society, and also an occasional
exhibitor at our cattle show, wo regard your Royal
Highness as no stranger to our objects, but rather as
graciously participating in those peaceful and useful pur •
suits by which we seek to stimulate agricultural improve-
ment and general practical knowledge and industry in
this part of the United Kingdom. •
" Honoured already by the patronage of her Majesty,
and the interest evinced by your Royal Highness, we
look forward to new sources of hope and encouragement
from the exhilarating influence of the royal presence
amongst us, and trust that the frequent recurrence of
such proofs of sympathy and favour may long (continue
to furnish new bonds of attachment to her Majesty, her
son and family.
, "We further indulge the hope that when abundance
and prosperity shall revisit this portion of the United
Kingdom, your Royal Highness will enjoy the pleasing
reminiscence of basing contributed by your countenance
and example to those labours which, under the blessing
OT Divine Providence, teach to multiply the fruits of the
earth, and to direct the discoveries of science to the in-
crease of the enjoyments and conveniences of mankind.

" EDWARD HARDMAN, Assistant Secretary."
follow
His Royal- Highness Prince Albert delivered the
:—sincerely for your congratulations on
the arrival of the Queen and myself in Ireland. I haie
always felt great interest in the proceedings of this so-
ciety, and have been anxious for its prosperity, because
I was convinced that in applying the most recent disco-
veries of science and the most fully tested mechanical
improvements to a naturally fertile soil, you would not
only raise the productive powers of this country, and in
crease its wealth, but likewise give remunerative em-
ployment to its labouring population and encourage
habits of industry. It is impossible not to feel deeply
the marks of enthusiastic attachment which have been
displayed to the Queen and to myself by the warm-
hearted inhabitants of this beautiful island; and I most
sincerely hope that the promise of a plentiful havest, of
which your fields bear such hopeful evidence, may be the
harbinger of a termination to those sufferings under
which this people have so lamentably and yet with such
exemplary paience laboured."
Loud cheers followed the delivery of this address.
His Royal Highness then proceeded to inspect the
cattle on show in the adjoining yards.
VISIT TO THE CATTLE SHOW.

Prince Albert passed from the house of the Royal
Society to the cattle show of the Agricultural So-
ciety, where numbers of persons were assembled.
His Royal Highness was attended by the Lord-Lieu-
tenant, Duke of Leinster, Marquis of Londonderry,
Marquis of Kildare, Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl of
Erne, Earl Fortescue, Sir Wm. Somerville, &c
Under the guidance of Mr. Archbold, late M.P. fo
Kildare, his Royal Highness inspected in the first inr
stance the black cattle. He subsequently passed int -
the lawn, and took a walk through the sheep-penso
He expressed himself highly pleased with all he saw,.
and with the arrangements made for his reception.
Having here concluded his round of visits his Royal
Highness, accompanied by Lord Clarendon, returned
to the Viceregal Lodge.
ILLUMINATIONS.

Dublin is again illuminated this evening, in honour
of the Queen. The streets are crowded with pro-
menaders, who seem as determined as on the day of
her Majesty's arrival to honour the Queen by enjoy-
ing a little relaxation. They seem resolved to show
their loyalty to the Sovereign by making themselves
as happy us pleasure can make them. For the last
week nothing has been spoken of but levees and
drawing-rooms, and reviews in the Phoenix-park,
and ladies' dresses and military uniforms, and stars of
gas, and crowns and harps, and triumphal arches. A
rumour that the Queen is coming is quite sufficient
at any hour of the day or night to bring the whole
population to their doors and windows.
THE QUEEN'S DRAWING-ROOM.
Her Majesty held her first drawing-room in the
capital of Ireland, at Dublin Castle, on Thursday
night. It was announced that the brilliant scene
would be opened at nine o'clock, and as her Majesty
is known to be remarkable for punctuality, for some
time before that hour the streets along the line of
route from the Viceregal Lodge to the Castle—and
especially those in its vicinity—were densely crowded
by persons anxious to see her Majesty pass, and to
give her a warm and enthusiastic reception. The
public buildings and the establishments at which gas-
fittings for the purpose of the illuminations had been
put up, were brilliantly lighted, so that what with
the attraction thus created, the mildness and beauty
of the night, the glittering equipages passing every
moment to set down those proceeding to the drawing
room, and the number of persons who thronged the
streets, apparently finding much enjoyment in what
was going on, the scene that presented itself was pe-
culiarly interesting and exciting. A party of the
Rifles, with the admirable band of that corps, were
stationed in the Upper Castle-yard, where there was
assembled a considerable number of persons who ob-
tained admission by tickets, and hoped to catch a
glimpse of her Majesty as she alighted from her
carriage at the grand entrance. The windows of the
entire range of the building were brilliantly lit, and
the effect was very fine.

Precisely at nice o'clock the approach of the royal
carriages was announced, and immediately afterwards
they drove up Parliament street, having proceeded
along the south quays from the park. The royal
party was escorted by two troops of the 6th Car-
hineers, and as her Majesty passed she :was loudly
and enthusiastically cheered. In the carriage with
the Queen was his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
and the other carriages conveyed the Marquis of
Lansdowne, Sir George Grey, Lord Fortescue, and
several members of the royal household. Upon the
carriage in which the Queen sat entering the gate,
the band of the Rifles played the National Anthem;
and, when her Majesty and the Prince alighted, a
load and hearty cheer burst from those present, many
eagerly rushing forward to catch a sight of them as
they entered.
Her Majesty's dress was of Irish manufacture—
pink poplin, beautifully embroidered with shamrocks.
Her Majesty and the Prince Consort were received
at the principal entrance by the Earl and Countess of
Clarendon, and conducted to the Throne-room.
The presentations at the general Drawing-room
were extremely numerous, and lasted till twenty
minutes after twelve o'clock, when the Royal party
left for the Viceregal Lodge in the same order as they
arrived.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE RECEPTION
OF HER MAJESTY IN GLASGOW.

GLASGOW, THURSDAY EVENING. - The prepara-
tions for the Queen's reception here are progressing
apace. The manner in which the lieges of Cork
were taken by surprise has put the magistracy and
people upon the alert, lest they too should be caught
unprepared. All is bustle and activity along the
chief thoroughfares of the city through which the
royal precession will pass. The streets are torn up,
as if the commercial metropolis of Scotland were in
a state of incipient revolution, and a strong line of
strong wooden barriers is being erected for the pur-
pose of enabling the expected procession to pass un-
molested through the dense crowds which line the
streets. All this throws very serious impediments in
the way of business; but these, with a considerable
drain upon the city funds, constitute the price at
which the people of Glasgow are ungrudgingly pre-
paring to testify their loyalty to the Queen on the
occasion of her first visit to their noble city.
It is expected that the royal squadron will arrive
in the Clyde on Sunday. I' that case it will anchor
off Gourock, about 25 miles below Glasgow, and
directly opposite the entrance into the wild and mag-
nificent Loch Long. Her Majesty will remain on
board the royal yacht until the following morning,
when she will ascend the Clyde in the Fairy, passing
the towns of Greenock, Helensborough, Port Glasgow,
and Dumbarton, to the city of Glasgow. Should she
arrive on what is here called a " lawful day,"

The procession will then form and cross Glasgow-
bridge, at the northern end of which a triumphal
arch of gigantic proportions is being rapidly erected.
It is as yet in the mere skeleton, but will by and by
put on its leafy covering—an operation, however,
which it must perform very speedily, or her Majesty
may surprise it in a state of unsightly bareness.
Loyalty is a flame which must burn very strongly
in the Glaigowegian bosom, judging from the crowds
which are gathered day and night to witness the
progress of the work, although the rain occasionally
falls in torrents almost sufficient ti extinguish the
stupendous smelting furnaces which burn here
perpetually. The procession will then pass up
Jamaica. street to Argyle-street (the Oxford-street of
G!aTow), which it will descend to the Cross at the
junction of High street with the Salt market, where
some wish it to deflect a little to the right, to point
out to her Majesty the exact residence of Bailie
.Nicol Jarvie. It will then ascend High-street
affording her Mijesty a fine opportunity of ap-
preciating the peculiar architecture of the old
town, first to the College, and then to the Cathe-
dral or High Church About the former a rather
incredible rumour is afloat. It is a venerable pile,
with quaint quadrangles, cylindrical towers covered
with conical roofs, and enclosing spiral staircases and
fantastic old gables, which frown down upon the
narrowthis fin e tehl

it was nearly sold to make room for a terminus to a
railway calling itself Caledonian. A still more igno-
minious fate, it is said, now awaits it. The old pile
is black and begrimed with age, and the on dit is, that
the bailies, after mature and anxious deliberation,
have determined to whitewash it for the occasion. I
have been assured that the process has already coin-
menced, the first assault having been made upon a
lion and unicorn which decorate the edifice, and which
are already brilliantly arrayed in carbonate of lime.
I cannot vouch for the truth of this story, as in every
community there are to be found people malicious
enough to make civic dignitaries the subjects of the
most extravagant rumours.
Passing the College, the Queen will ascend to. the
Cathedral, in doing which she will, in all probability,
be conducted to an ancient mansion a little off the
thoroughfare, which smacks strongly of the fourteenth
century, and which was, at one time, graced with the
presence of her unfortunate predecessor, Mary Stuart.
Arrived at the Cathedral, she will have the opportu-
nity of inspecting the progress made by her Woods
and Forests in repairing the noble pile, which is the
great ornament of Glasgow. To the eternal credit of
the citizens, at the epoch of the Reformation, they
turned out, almost to a man, to prevent their cathe-
dral from being levelled to the ground, in obedience
to the stern and barbarous edict of Knox, which
caused the destruction of almost every other eccle-
siastical edifice in the country which had been reared
by Roman Catholic hands. Her Majesty will
here be pointed out the stern Reformer himself,
effigied in stone, and surmounting the capital of a
stunted pillar, which crowns the summit of the
magnificent burial-ground of Glasgow, whose silent
terraces will form a striking contrast to the joyous
multitudes who will give her welcome in their neigh-
bourhood. In inspecting the Cathedral, her Majesty
will descend to the crypt, containing the tomb of St.
Mungo, the patron saint of the locality, the crypt
being familiar to all who have read " Rob Roy."
Leaving the Cathedral, the procession will take the
line of George-street to Buchanan-street, the fashion-
able promenade. Descending Buchanan-street, it will
abut once more upon Argyle-street, whence it will
ascend Queen-street to the railway-station, from
which her Majesty will take her departure for Perth,
where she will rest for the night.
Her Majesty's sojourn in the western metropolis
will thus not extend beyond a few hours—much to the
regret of the good people of the city. In the whole
course of her journey her Majesty will not receive a
more hearty welcome than from the loyal citizens of
Glasgow.

IRELAND.
THE QUEEN'S DEPARTURE.

D ÜBL IN, FRIDAY MORNING.
The preparations for her Majesty's departure are
completed; and there is nearly as great anxiety for
tickets for the platform avid terrace at the Kingstown
Railway station as there had been on Monday last to
witness the landing. In front of the Dublin station-
house the directors have erected a handsome awning,
under which her Majesty is to pass on her entrance.
The arrangements at the Kingstown terminus are
unaltered, the canopies, &c., remaining as before. In
the brief telegraphic dispatch forwarded yesterday
evening, I mentioned that her Majesty is to take her
departure at five p.m. this day. She will probably
be on board the Royal yacht at half past five o'clock.
The Royal party will leave; .the Viceregal. Lodge
precisely at five.
TIIE QUEEN'S VISIT TO CARTON.
At ten o'clock this morning her Majesty and
Prince Albert, with the Lord• Lieutenant and the
Countess of Clarendon, are to proceed to Carton, on
a brief visit to the Duke and Duchess of Leinster,
who have invited a large party to meet her
Majesty and her illustrious Consort at a dtjeune.
The beautiful demesne of Carton will be opened to
the public on the occasion. The Royal party are to
leave Carton early this afternoon, and return to the
Viceregal Lodge previous to her Majesty's departure
for Belfast.

BIRMINGHAM AND ITS EXEMPTION
FROM CHOLERA.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
SIR,—In 1832 Birmingham had not a single indigenous
case of cholera, though surrounded by districts in which
it was alarmingly prevalent and more than ordinarily
fatal.
Again, in 1849, this singular immunity exists. Not a
solitary case of cholera up to the prcsont moment has,
I believe, been discovered here.
Is it not worth white for scientific men to investigate
the causes of an exemption so remarkable ?
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,

THE CLAIMS OF MISS JANE TUCKER TO BE
CONSIDERED THE ORIGINATOR OF THE GOVERNESSES'
BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—A public meeting was
held on Friday, the 10th of August, at Exeter Hall, to
investigate the particulars and evidence of this singular
and very hard case, when it was clearly proved that this
indefatigable lady eleven years ago originated this cha-
I •
ratable institution, and that for five successive years she
devoted, not only her time and strength, but her means
to accomplish the undertaking; and yet by a mysterious
act of injustice she is still unprovided, homeless, and
destitute. The Rev. Richard Cobbold, M.A., honorary
member of the institution, took the chair; and among
the numerous friends who were present, we noticed J.
S. Buckingham, Esq., Luke J. Hansard, Esq., the Rev.
George Pocock, the Rev. R. A. Buckmaster, the Rev.
F. Pearce Pocock, D. Lister, Esq., W. H. Ashley, M.D.,
F. Curzon, Esq., honorary secretary, Mrs. General
Ogilvie, Mrs. Hansard, Miss M'Cann, Miss Plumley,
&c. Miss Jane Tucker's claims were warmly and ably
advocated by the chairman and committee, and we trust
that the charge of injustice boldly made against the ad•
many noble
ministrators of a charity supported by so mei. The
