requested to undertake the charge of superintending the
remainder of the work, subject to the approval of her
Majesty the Queen Dowager. It is probable that the
building will soon be resumed, and that the edifice (ex-

summer.—[lt looks very like a job.—ED.]
CONFESSIONS AND REITERATED FALSEHOODS OF THE
"TIMES."—In the Times of Saturday is the fol'Awing pa
ragraph, speaking of Mr. Roebuck's speech at Bath :
The first thing we have to do, in criticizing this speech,
is an act of justice—namely, to state that Mr. Roebuck,
disavows the placard (upon which we have commented
more than once) in which he was represented as offering
to relieve the people from the national debt by the sum-
mary process of the sponge. Mr. Roebuck disa,vov; not
only the placard, but its principle. It is, of course, unneces-
sary for us to state, that our information concerning this
placard was derived from a source which we supposed to
be credible ; nor were we aware that it had been con-
tradicted till we read Mr. Roebuck's speech in a Go-
vernment paper on Thursday last. There is nothing in
the Hon. Gentleman's political creed which could have
led us to regard his adoption of such a placard as at all
improbable or inconsistent." '

Ten clays after the true nature of that placard had
been pointed out in this Journal, the Times, having in
the interim, twice charged its contents on the Radical
Member, admits that it twice told falsehoods. How
candid and how honest. Who will believe in the teeth
of such a confession that it does not now tell another
story, when it says that the " information con-
cerning this placard was derived from a source
Which we supposed to be credible." We tell the
Times it knows better, that it knew ' from the first
the true nature of the placard, and that it does by this
apology only add, if that be possible, to its misconduct.
It would not at the same time even confess its guilt
without endeavouring to fasten an imputation on Mr.
Roebuck. There is nothing in that gentleman's political
creed which warrants the Times in implying that his
adoption of the plan announced in the placard was pro-
bable and consistent.

DEATH OF THE QUEEN OF HANOVER.
HANOVER, JUNE 29.—The Queen of Hanover
died to-day. The Hanover Gazette, with a black
border, contains the following notice :
" It has pleased the disposer of all human
events to-day, at twenty minutes past twelve
o'clock, to remove from this life the Most August
and Illustrious Princess Frederica Louisa Caro-
lina Sophia Alexandrina, by the Grace of God
Queen of IThnover, Princess of Great Britain
and Ireland, Duchess of Cumberland, Duchess
of Brunswick and Luneburg, &c. (born Princess
of Mecklenburg, &c.) His Majesty the King,
the Royal Family, and all faithful subjects, are
hereby plunged in the deepest affliction.
"After being confined to her bed for three
months her Majesty expired from a decay of
strength, constantly attended by the King, the
Crown Prince, and the Duchess of Anhait
Dessau. Her Majesty will be ever remembered
as a mother and Queen.

BRUSSELS, JULY 2.-,-The King and Queen, with
the Duke of Brabant, and their Suite, are ex-
pected at Ostend on the 10th of this month. The
Magistrates and the inhabitants are making pre-
parations to give their Majesties a brilliant re-
ception. As to the rumoured disposal of the Pa-
lace of the Prince of Orange, the following
letter just received by the _Emancipator will put
an end to the discussion :
" Several Journals having announced that the
Palace of the Prince of Orange was let, I beg to
contradict this assertion, and to assure you that
the idea of letting it has never been entertained,
and even that it never will be.
" Be pleased to insert this in your next Num-
(Signed) ‘, DECOUX.
" Director of the Domain and the Palace."
M. Thiers, late Minister and President of the
Council in France, arrived at Antwerp on the
30th of June.
Several Englishmen residing near Liege have
set out in all haste to take part in the elections
in England.

VIENNA, JUNE 23.—Prince Metternich intends
to set out on the 4th and sth of July for Plass
and Konigsworth, and afterwards to visit Jo-
hannisburg. Most of the foreign Ambassadors
will leave Vienna for the summer, so that after
the departure of Prince Metternich there will
be a stagnation in political affairs. The quaran-
tine on the Austrian frontiers, to which passen-
gers and merchandise from the Turkish provinces
have hitherto been subject, is not abolished, as
has been erroneously supposed, but the time is
considerably shortened.
TURKISH FRONTIER, JUNE 17.—We learn from
Nissa that the Commissioners appointed by the
Porto to inquire into the late events in Bulgaria
were daily expected there, The result of the in-
quiry 11143, he foreseen, when we consider how
decidedly the Turks and Christians op posed to
each other in the late troubles, and how the Mus-
selmans ftlivaysi hang together in such conflicts.
The proposal made to the Porte to appoint a
mixed Commission of Rayahs and Musselmans
could not possibly be acceded to at Constanti-
nople; it is certain, however, that if ReschN
acha were still Minister the PAcllar of Widdin
