11 PER lAL PARLIAMENT,

(THIS EVENING.)

The House of Lords did not sit this evening.
The House of Commons, after the presentation of a few
petitions, was counted out at 20 minutes to live o'clock.

A PHILOSOPHER'S SKULL.--A famous craniolo-
gist strolling through St. Bury!s churchyard the other day,
perceived a gravedigger tossing up the earth, amongst which
were two or three skulls. The craniologist took up one ; and
after considering it a little time, said, " Ah ! this was the skull
of a philosopher." " Very like," said the grave-digiier, " for
I see it is somewhat cracked."

MARRIAGE INVITATION.—About sixteen years
ago one of our town:men emigrated to Canada, where he has
succeeded in life, and is in comfortable circumstances. De-
sirous to share his comforts with an agreeable partner from
among the daughters of his own people, he, about a twelve-
month ago, wrote home to Paisley, offering terms to a woman
whom he never saw, but with whose friends he is acquainted,
and with whose excellent character he is fully satisfied. The
lady, who never saw her future bridegroom, after giving the
invitation a year's careful consideration, and satisfying herself
as to his character and the sincerity of his intevitiq, came
lately to the resolution of accepting ti-,!3 leols offered, and
sailed from Glasgowypooy, 444." T to join her future hus-
band. The i.neetmg seene of the two lovers, unknown in per-
son to each other as they are, will be interesting, and may
hereafter furnish materials to some great cainwlian Unknown
for a novel of Ow or three yQlnnitsi---Poisky Advertiser.

Their M.desties and the Prince3scs took their aceustomod
exercise in the green and oak-embowered drives of the Great

-.--
In the evening the following persons bad the honour of join_
ing the Royal dinner party :--Colonel and Mrs. Bouverie, Sir
Charles Rowley,the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Talbot and his Lady,
and Colonel and Mrs. Montague.
The fineness and warmth of the weather induced their Ma-
jesties not only to spend this afternoon at Virginia Water, but
also to dine in that beautiful and cool retreat.
The Royal party left the Castle at two o'clock for this pur-
pose, in several open carriages. In the first were the King
and her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta ; in the second,
the Queen, the Landgravine, and Prince Ernest of Phillipps-
thal ; Prince George of Cambridge, Lord and Lady Waarn-
cliffe, the Hon: Wm. and Mrs. Ashley, Lord and Lady Falk-
land, Lord and Lady Sheffield, Miss Hope Johnstone, Lord
and Lady de Lisle, Lord and Lady F. Fitzclarence, &c., fol-
lowed, some in phaetons, and others on horseback.
The King will go to St. James's to-morrow (this day), for
the purpose of holding a Levee, but will return to the Castle
in the evening.
