SANGER.
ST. ALDAN's.—As soon as it was positively ascer-
tained that our gracious Queon and her illustrious Con-
sort would pass through St. Alban's, on their visit to
Earl Cowper, at Panshanger, every effort was made to
.
render their entry a tritunp ' t one. The worthy Mayor
(Mr. Rutnball) convened a 'Vic meeting, to take into
ft
consideration what would b he best means to carry the
wishes of the town into e '' and. the call WM quickly
responded to by all the zes . 'table inhabitants, of both
sides of politics, whose only ambition seemed to he to
outvie each other in the„.x!+:nt of their loyalty. A Com-
mittee was formed, a subscription entered into, and
funds to a large =omit quickly raised. The trium-
phal arch, planned by Nir. Eoutell, was 120 feet long,
and formed of different foliages, on which were vari-
ous ornamental devices ; among others, " Welcome,"
" Queen and Constitnion," ~ V. it," "P. A.," the
whole surmounted with different emblematic flags. In
the interior of both sides wer:? erected galleries for the
accommodation -of the latleseind the whole presented an
exceedingly pretty and piett es lite appearance. Indeed
there was scarcely a houss in the town that had not some
ornamental work.. At abc.utqine o'clock the Loyal cortege
was announced to be in sigliii:krithe tiring of.a small bat •
tery, which was placed 14)4 :the tower of the clock-
house, and the sudden chir,iing in of the bells of all
the parish churches, RIM in a feW moments England's
hope and pride was greeted by the cheers of the loyal
people of St. Alban's. .il p.ocession, composed of the
Mayor and Corporatiot, and a long line of Com-
mittee-men, with a bawl, and numerous flags at their
head, ushered her Maj,!sty into the town. Her Ma-
jesty was pleased to evrc4s her gratification at the
cordiality of her welcome, And the Marquis of Read-
fort was commissioned to 'tate her thanks, in. the
strongest terms, to the Mavot tuul the inhabitants for the
kind reception she had beet.. greeted with. Her Ma-
jesty was accompanied by tke.. same retinue that left
Windsor with her, and was
by the Hertfordshire. p.,.3in .. rX--;.- ,f).driag.,-.4.4sAinie

Verulam presented his Royal Highness Prince Albert
with a bouquet, which 'M.'S' most graciously received by
the Queen. Her Majesty will "atmour St. Alban's, on
Saturday next, with a second visit on her return to
Windsor.

(ANOTHER ACCOINT.)
At Hatfield a triumphal arch, unique in its conscruc-
don, and elegant in its effect, was also erected, and it
was noticed by the numbers congregated at that
point of the road that the taste displayed • was
honoured by the royal notice. The immense mul-
titude of persons congregated in the capacious park of
the Earl Cowper, at Panshanger, ?resented a coup d'aol
which must have convinced her Majesty that the loyalty
of the people of Hertfordshire has suffered no diminu-
tion since that country was last honoured with the Royal
presence. on the occasion of the review in Hatfield-
park. The whole of the carriagi-drive, from the en-
trance at Cole's-green, was lined with vehicles. The
children of the different charity schools in the neigh-
bourhood were arranged on each side of the carriage-
drive, producing a very pleasing effect. The boys and
girls from the Blue-coat School at 'Hertford occupied a
prominent position. The Hatfield troop of South Ilerts
Yeomanry, commanded by the Marquis of Salisbury,
escorted the Royal party to Hatfield, where they were
relieved by the B troop, tinder the command of Earl
Cowper. Another portion of the same troop formed a
guard of honour in the park. Her Majesty and his
Royal Highness Prince Albert reached Panshanger
two o'clock precisely, the hour at which their arrival was
announced, accompanied by Cols. Berkeley and Boiiverie,
the equerries in waiting, the Marquis of Headfort, Lady
Lyttelton, the Honourable Miss Chandos, &c., and
was received with every demonstration of loyalty
and respectful attachment. The party honoured by
invitations to meet her Majesty comprised the Duke
and Duchess of Sutherland, Lord and Lady Clanricarde
(who arrived at Panshanger on 'Wednesday evening),
Lord and Lady Palmerston, Lord and Lady Duncannon,
Viscount Melbourne, &c. &. After the arrival of the
Royal cortege the public were admitted to the railing of
the terrace in front of the mansion, separating the pri-
vate pleasure grounds from the park; and her Majesty
and her Royal consort, after partaking of a luncheon,
promenaded for some time upon the terrace, accompanied
by their suite. Nothing could exceed the enthusiastic
joy. displayed by the immense multitude at the oppor-
tunity, thus afforded them of evincing their attachment
to their Sovereign ; the Anpiession made by the gracious
manner in which her Majesty was pleased to receive the
homage paid to her will long dwell in the hearts of, her
subjects. The Royal party rroceed on Friday (this day)
to Brocket-hall, the seat of Lord Melbourne, returning
to Panshanger to dinner, and remaining there until
• Saturday morning, when they leave for town. The ad-
dress from the inhabitants of Hertford will be presented
at Panshanger to-morrow, and extensive preparations
are making in that town for the reception of the Sove-
reign,. whose early hours have induced a belief that it is
probable it may be honoured with the Royal presence
previous to leaving Panshanger for Broeltet-hall.
THE BLUE-COAT SCHOOL.
As her Majesty was expected to visit this establishment,
at Hertford yesterday, the following account of the Insti-
tution may be interesting :
The Blue-coat School stands la the eastern extremity
of the town of Hertford, on the north side of Fore-
street, and consists of three sides of a quadrangle, with
the addition of a square building erected, so recently as
1800, at the north-west angle of the original edifice, con-
taining a hall of the length of 100, and of the breadth of
40 feet. Besides these buildings there is a very lofty
and airy infirmary, capable of containing a large propor-
tion of the children of this establishment.
This noble building was erected by the Governors of
Christ's Hospital, in London, on the foundation of King
Edward VI., for the reception of the younger children
of that establishment. rhis, therefore, being a branch
of the great parent institution in London, we cannot
avoid speaking briefly of the latter, in order to convey a
clear idea of the regulations by which this institution in
Hertford is conducted. The whole establishment origi-
nally consisted of 340 children, but the number, however,
continuing to increase with the revenues of the establish-
ment, the Governors erected this school, by the voluntary
contributions of high benefactors, in addition to their
own, as well as another institution at Broxbourn. The
entire establishment, Hertford School included, is at pre-
sent capable of containing 1136 children, including 80 girls.
According to a rule established in 1809, boys are ad-
mitted from seven to ten years of age, and are discharged
at the age of fifteen years, with the exception of those
who enter the sea service or go college.
The complement of children at Hertford Blue-coat
School is 416, who are drafted, in general, at the age of
twelve years to the
parent establishment in London.
They are governed by their master in the schools, by
the steward and matroness in the refectory, and by their
nurses in the dormitories, and committees are consti-
tuted to examine the performances, and to report the
neglects and defaults of these officers. The qualifications
which are to fit them for higher stations in life are sedu-
lously attended to. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are
of course the fundamental subjects of study. But beyond
these the refinements of classical learning are made to
imbue the minds of the young Blue-coat scholars, with
those better and superior views, whi,ch are further
heightened and adorned in the end by acquisitions in
Hebrew, mathematics, and draining. -
The number of boys who attain the last stage of the
ordinary classical education is about sixty. Out of
which the scholars are chosen for exhibition by the
head-master, without the interference of the governors
of the Institution, of which there are seven at Cambridge
and one at Oxford. In London there are four classical
masters, two ushers, a mathematical, drawing, and
sinning master. At Hertford School there are a clas-
sical master, 'writing master, two ushers, and two mis-
tresses to the girls' school. At each place there is equally
a matron ; there are six beadles in London, and two in
this place ; thirteen nurses in London, and nine at this
place ; besides that most necessary of all comfortable ap-
pendages, a cook at each place.
To Hertford Blue-coat School there are also attached
a physician, surgeon, and an apothecary, who is, how-
ever, resident in London.
Thr government of this princely foundation is vested
in the Corporation of the City of London, and noblemen
and gentlemen of all ranks, who contribute 4001. to the
support of this establishment. Twenty governors in two
years are chosen in rotation by the other governors, and
every alderman, at the first biennial nomination after he
conies into the office of alderman, is allowed to name a
governor, which governor is to be a benefactor of 2001.
There is a president at the head of the charity, who is
elected from the aldermen of the City of London by the
body of the governors, for life, or so long as he continues
an alderman, unless lie happened to be a governor by
benefaction or otherwise before he was an alderman.
ATIMMENNIMMIMMIMII

The Breslau Gazette reports the following ex-
traordinary cure, performed lately at Grcefenberg :—A
person, aged forty-eight, who had been in the Austrian
civil service, was brought, from the loss of his wife and
children, and other afflictions, into an almost hopeless
state of nervous fever. Ever other remedy having been
tried in vain, he went to Greenberg, to place himself
under the treatment of M. Preissnitz. He had an almost
unconquerable aversion to cold water ; but without first
consulting M. Preissnitz, he was induced one day, when
the thermometer :was at 24 degrees of Reaumur (86
Fahrenheit), to take a cold bath. This brought on an
inflammation of the brain, and the sufferer became so
violent that it required six men to hold him. In this
state M. de Preissnitz adopted the following system:—
Though perfectly delirious, he was bathed in the river for
15 minutes, and then carried by main force in a raving
state to a bath, the water of which was at a temperature
of 12 degrees R. (56 F.), and there detained nine hours,
from one in the day to ten at night, M. Preissnitz re-
mainint, with hint, all the time, and- keepinir his head
constantly cooled ith water at 7:12- R. (48 e.) At tin
end of this period the cold f►t came on,
and violent
tion came out over tilt-
shivering ensued. In this state the patient was carried
to his bed, where he fell into a tranquil sleep, which

lasted till next morning. On waking, his senses were
ed
pustules, which dis
charged humours, and contributed to restore him to a
state of convalescence. The treatment was applied in
presence of au English, a Swedish, and an Austrian
perfectlywh ol whole o f hisree voedr;,d;
physician, all of whom declared the cure miraculous.
On the same day, M. Preissnitz, by the same means,
cured his own daughter, a child, of a nervous fever, and
