It has never fallen to our lot, since the establishMent
t

a
this

a Naval promotion of such ex-
present to our readers ; and our gra-
greatly increased by the universally-
admitted impartia ity that has governed the selection.
The first intention was to limit the Army Brevet and
Naval promotion to a very small amount, the state of the
revenue being pleaded for making the most rigid economy
Imperative ; and we can state with confidence, that the
first programme did not include more than half of what
has been at last conceded to the earnest remonstrances
tpf the heads of the Army and Navy departments.
We have always contended that such fleeting and ever-
t'arying circumstances as a rise or fall of the revenue,
Principally depending on the state of trade or other con-
tingent causes, should not be permitted to weigh in the
scale of justice against the claims of old and meritorious
officers at a season of public jubilee, but particularly on
such an occasion as the present, that seldom occurs more
than once in a generation, and which it has always been
usual to commemorate by an extensive Brevet and pro-
motion. Whether with these, or such-like arguments
on behalf of the Navy, Lord liaddington combated the
formidable objections of the Finance Minister until he
I finally overcame them, we know not ; but this is certain,
' that his Lordship has succeeded in obtaining for the

DONATIGN of QUEEN 'DOWAGER.
DONATION OF Tr QUEEN DOWAGraI TO THE DIS-
TRESSED SPITALFIELDS WEAVERS.-011 'Saturday the
Lord Mayor received the'ipllowing note frtol the Hon.
William Ashley. enclosing a check from • the Queen
Dowagfir-for-1001. - -
" Marlborough House, Nov. 27; 1841;..
" My Lord—The Queen Ddivagter; deeply sympathis-
ing in the present distressed state of the Spitalfields
weavers, and understanding that your Lordship has
kindly undertaken to receive subscriptions in &leir be-
half, has commanded me to se.nd-thc enclosed check for
1001., with the expression of her Majesty's best wishes for
the success of the undertaking.
" I have the honour to be, my Lord,
" Your Lordship's most obedient humble servant,
" WILLIAM ASHLEY."

His Lordship, upon receiving the communication, said
he had no doubt that the example and the wishes of so
noble-minded and exalted a personage wculd produce a
great effect upon the higher classes of societ):. who could
know but little of the miseries which such bo;lnty was
'sure to alleviate.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.-YESTERDAY.

Of the few Derby favourites mentioned in the course
of the afternoon, the Lord of Holderness and Ballin-
keele alone were backed with any spirit ; 25 to 1 was
laid twice against the first, and several parties were
anxious to invest upon the same terms, but the general
offers fell five points short ; against Ballinkeele the odds
quoted below were laid to about 3001., the betters and
takers being very fairly balanched. If we except a dis-
position to back William de Fortibus, there vas no other
change. For the Oaks, Passion was again in force at 7
to 1, taken eagerly; 1,200 to 100 was also taken, " bar
one," but the name of the filly was kept a profound
secret ; offers to take 30 to 1 each about the Duke of
Rutland's Bizare filly and Mr. Thornhill's Eusebia. No
others mentioned.

_,7THE 14AXINtir OF THE \FIRST
sToNE-oF ,rtiE ROYAL" EXUMA IiGE. -
The Lord Bishop of London has been applied to by
the Gresham Committee to write the inscription for the
first stone of the Royal Exchange, to be laid in January
next by Prince Albert, and his Lordship immediately ac-
quiesced in the kindest manner. The preparations will
be upon a scale of elegance and splendour worthy pf the
occasion. The entertainment to be given by the Lord
Mayor at the Mansion-house to Prince Albert will be
the first grand entertainment of the Mayoralty of Alder-
man Pirie, the first day of which Mayoralty has been dis-
tinguished by the birth of the Heir Apparent to the Crown.
The following brief extracts from the Corporation Re-
cords have reference to the two occasions on which a si-
milar ceremony was performed by Royal personages :
" 1667.—8 e it remembered that the King's Majesty
King Charles 2d came to the Royal Exchange on the 23d
October, anno 1667, and there fixed the first pillar thereof,
which is that standing in the west side of the north en-
trance. lie was entertained by the City and Company
with a chine of beef, grand dish of fowl, gammons of
bacon, dried tongues, anchovies, caviare, &c., and plenty
of several sorts of wine. He gave 201. in gold to the
workmen. The entertainment was in a shedd, built and
adorned on purpose in the Scottish Walk.
" 1570.—1 n the year a thousand five hundred and
seventie, on the 23d of Januarii, the Queen's Majestie.
attended with her Nobilitie, came from her house in the
Strande, called Summerset House, and entered the Citie
by Temple Bar, through Fleete-street, Chepe, and so by
the north side of the Bourse jto Sir Thomas Gresham's,
in Bishopsgate, where she dined. After dinner her Ma-
jesty, returning through Cornhill, entered the Bourse on
the south side end, after that she had viewed every part
thereof above the ground, especially the Pawne, which
was richly furnished with all sortes of the first wares in
the Citie, she caused the time Bourse by an Herald and a
trompet to be proclaimed the Royal Exchange, and so
to be called from thenceforth and not otherwise."
