—We understand it is given out at the clubs that
Parliament will not meet until October, when the country
gentlemen and sportsmen shall have recovered sufficiently
from the fatigues of hunting, shooting, &c., to attend
to the business of the nation. Were the House to meet
on the 12th of August, it would seriously interfere with
pheasant-shooting ; were it to meet on the Ist of Sep-
tember, it would be as detrimental to the sports on the
Moors—it is therefore considered but right and decent
that the people should wait until the sporting Members
shall have leisure enough to attend to their interests.
At a place in Ireland, called New Birmingham,
dreadful battles have taken place between the Catholics
and Orangemen. The latter retreated with the loss of
two carriages, but they brought down (shot dead or
winged) five of their opponents. At Neagh great slaugh-
ter took place, when, after a hard fought battle, the Ca-
tholics retreated to look after their dead and wounded.
The names of the commanders are not given, but a con-
stable of the name of Lyndon is praised to the skies,
either by himself or the Orangemen. These Orange
Tales are perfect in their way.

THE QUEEN'S PROGRESSES.
ller Majesty passed through Berkhampstead on Mon •
day afternoon, on her route to Woburn Abbey, where
the inhabitants were assembled to give the Queen a
hearty and loyal reception. The royal standard was
floating from the church steeple, and in the centre of the
town other colours and flags bearing appropriate inscrip-
tions were also to be seen, which with a band of music
playing lively airs, and a large assemblage of well dressed
people, congregated to obtain a sight of " England's
Queen," gave to Berkhampstead an appearance of ac-
tivity seldom before witnessed. It being understood
that the Queen would change horses here, great num-
bers of ladies and gentleinen in carriages and other
vehicles, had come from the surrounding country to re-
ceive her Majesty, who seemed much pleased with the
plaudits which greeted her arrival.
CHESIIAN, JULY 26.—Information having been re-
ceived of the intention of the Queen to pass through
Chesham on her way from Windsor to Woburn, the
loyal spirit of the inhabitants was raised, and they de•
termined upon giving a hearty welcome to her most
gracious Majesty. The principal streets were decorated
with triumphal arches, colours flying on all sides, and
bands of music playing, and the assembled thousands
anxiously waiting the approach of the Royal traveller.
Her Majesty was escorted by the town's-people through
the little market town of Amersham to the top of the
hill on which the rectory house stands. At that point
the Hon. Charles Compton Cavendish and his son. Mr.
William Cavendish, at the head of a great body of their
tenants and personal friends, met, and became the es-
cort along the road and through the town of Chesham,
in which town was assembled an immense number of
respectable and gaily dressed people, all highly delighted
with the opportunity of seeing their beloved Queen, and
anxious to test their loyalty and affection. The boun-
daries of the manors of Chesham-Latimer form a circle
of nearly twelve miles. Of those manors Mr. Cavendish
is the lord, and we believe every one of his numerous
tenants was present on this most interesting occasion ;
and his hospitality, in the evening of this most me-
morable day, to the party. assembled under the large
elm tree, in the village of Latimer, will long be remem-
bered.
The Royal progress through the immediates villages
from Windsor Castle to Bedfordshire excited general in-
terest, and the preparations at Amersham and Berkhamp-
stead were on a very extended scale. At the latter place
a meeting was held last week to take into consideration
the best mode of testifying their respect to her Majesty
and her illustrious Consort, and the result was, that a
subscription was commenced forthwith to defray the ex-
penses of erecting arches of evergreens and flowers, and
giving a public entertainment to the poor.
On Saturday evening a very numerous and highly in-
fluential meeting of the nobility, gentry, and inhabitants
of Woburn was held at the Town Hall, for the purpose
of making arrangements to commemorate the visit of
the Queen to the neighbourhood. Lord Charles F.
Russell presided, and the Duke of Bedford, Colonel
Seymour, the Rev. Mr. Hutton, &c., were present. A
public subscription was at the close made for the benefit
of the poor of the parish, and it was determined that
the poor women and children should have a tea party in
the Market-square, and that clothing should be given to
the necessitous families of the town.
Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert
arrived shortly before six at the Park, escorted by a
detachment of the 11th Hussars (Prince Albert's regi-
ment), under the command of Lieut. Sutton ; and while
mentioning that fine corps, it maybe as well to observe
that troops were stationed every nine miles, the whole
distance from Windsor Castle to the Abbey,
A large concourse of persons loudly greeted the ar-
rival of the Queen, and the tenantry of the Duke of Bed-
ford on horseback fell in with the Royal cortege, each
equestrian displaying a white favour, and proceeded en
route to the fine mansion, a party of the military leading
the cavalcade, followed by the tenants and military, suc-
ceeded by the illustrious visitors in an open carriage and
1 four, with the usual outriders.
The carriage-way for the last half mile was densely
crowded with spectators and horsemen ; the former
might, without exceeding the limits truth impose

upon us, be computed at 7,000, and the latter were at
least 500.

The Royal standard was then hoisted at the mansion,
and the Queen and Prince, at a slow pace, and amidst
the loud and repeated cheering of the spectators, ar-
rived at live minutes before six. _ _

Colonel Buckley, Equerry in Waiting on her Majesty,
and. the Equerry in Waiting on his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, arrived shortly before the Queen.
The Marquis of Headfort, Lord in Waiting, the
Dowager Lady Lyttelton, Lady in Waiting, and the
Hon. Miss Cavendish, Maid of Honour to the Queen,
and Mr. Anson, Secretary to Prince Albert, came in
one of the Royal carriages immediately afterwards.
Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, who alighted at the west front, were re-
ceived by the Noble host and hostess, and conducted be-
neath a tastefully arranged temporary portico through
the vestibule, 'remarkable for its beautiful mosaic pave-
ment, part of that discovered near the Porta Portese at
Rome, up the grand staircase, embellished with nume-
rous portraits. Shortly afterwards the Queen made her
appearance at the balcony, and was received by the as-
semblage in front of the house with a burst of applause
which lasted several minutes, her Majesty acknowledg-
ing those marks of respect and gratification by repeat-
edly bowing.
The Duke of Wellington was soon recognised, and
welcomed. The calls were loud and protracted forth e
Duke and Duchess of Bedford, and at length the Duchess
came forward, whereupon the cheers of the multitude
were most enthusiastic. Lord Melbourne was then called
for. His Lordship made his debut to a Bedfordshire
audience, after much pressing, and was most rapturously
received.
At eight o'clock her Majesty and his Royal Highness
Prince Albert entered the grand dining room, accom-
panied by the Duke and Duchess of Bedford, and the
following circle formed the party :
The Duke of Wellington, Duke and Duchess of Lein-
ster, Duke of Devonshire, Duke and Duchess of Suther-
land, Dowager Duchess of Bedford, and Lady Georgiana
Russell, Earl and Countess de Grey, Viscount Melbourne,
Marquis of Headfort, Viscount and Viscountess Palmer-
ston, Lord Charles Russell, Duke and Duchess of Somer-
set, Lord and Lady Wriothesley Russell, Lord Otho
Fitzgerald, Lady Jane Fitzgerald, Dowager Lady Lyt-
telton, Col. Buckley, Hon. Miss Cavendish, Mr. Anson,
the Hon. Henry Stanhope, &c.
During the dinner and dessert a fine selection of music
from several favourite operas was played by a band
composed of several first-rate performers, under the pre-
sidence of Signor Puzzi, who superintends the whole
musical arrangements during the entertainments at the
Abbey.
At seven o'clock the whole of the principal tenantry
of the Noble Duke dined together in the Tennis•court,
Mr. Bennett, his Grace's land steward, presiding. Up-
wards of 170 sat down to an excellent repast.
Woburn at night was enlivened by a proluse display
of fireworks, and three or four fire-balloons ascended in
the evening, to the infinite delight of a large portion of
the inhabitants.
