HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO
CASHIOBURY PARK.
The Queen and Prince Albert took their customary
early walk in the pleasure grounds on Tueealay morning.
Shortly before ten o'clock her Majesty, accompanied
by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and attended by
the Countess of Gainsborough, the Earl Howe, and the
youthful Ladies Adelaide and Emily Curzon, left the
mansion to inspect the extensive gardens, orangery, &c.
The Queen and party subsequently went to the dairy at
the home farm, with the arrangement of which her Ma-
jesty seemed highly pleased.
His Royal Highness Prince Albert did not go out
shooting, as was anticipated. Sir Horace Seymour, Mr.
,G. E. Anson, and Colonel Seymour enjoyed a few hours
shooting in the preserves before luncheon.
At two o'clock luncheon was served, the circle being
confined to the royal guests of the Queen Dowager and
the members of the Court.
The carriages were ordered at half-past two, and
sh,rtly after that hour thiee pony equipages and four,
with outriders, camel... e front of the porch to convey
4
the illustrious comp' ~ •r a drive to the Grove and the
Priory.
The Queen Dow'ar'• was accompanied. in the first
carriage, by th, Queen and Prince Albert, and her Se-
rene Highness the Princess of Hesse.
The Countess of Gainsborougb, Lady Clinton, the Earl
of Morton, the Hon. Miss Mitchell, thellon. Miss Daw-
son, &c., were in the other carriages.
His Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar,
the Earl Howe, the Earl of Denbigh, Sir Andrew Bar-
nard, Sir Horace Seymour, and Colonel Buckley and
Colonel Seymour, the Equerries in Waiting on the
Queen and Prince Consort, followed on horseback.
The august party proceeded direct to the Grove, to
honour the Earl and Countess of Clarendon with a visit,
and remained there nearly an hour.
The Earl of Clarendon duly received his illustrious
visitors, and conducted the party over the house.
The Earl and Countess Spencer were at the Grove.
On the departure of the royal party, the carriages
were commanded to go to the Priory, at Stanmore, the
seat of the Marquis of Abercoria, and after viewing all
the attractions deemed worthy of notice at that beautiful
retreat, her Majesty, with the Queen Dowager and
party, returned to Cashiobury Park, where they arrived
at half-past five o'clock.
The royal dinner circle on Tursday evening was the
same as the previous day, with the addition of the
Earl and Countess Spencer, who received an invitation
to join the party.
Throughout the morning parties of the respectable
inhabitants of Watford and vicinity congregated in the
park, with the object of obtaining a glimpse of the
Queen and Prince. It is due to those present to say that
they conducted themselves decorously, so that royalty
could not complain of any intrusion.

THE CRUELTY TO AN INSANE
PAUPER IN THE RISBRIDGE UNION.
HAVERHILL, TUESDAY EVENING.—This day, at One
o'clock, Sir John Walsham, Bart., the assistant poor.
law commissioner for Suffolk and adjacent counties, met
a very numerous meeting of , the guardians attached to
the Risbridge union, at the Haverhill workhouse, for the
purpose of instituting an official inquiry into the treat-
ment of the deceased John Webb, late a pauper in the
union, whose ill-usage was the subject of much condem-
nation by the coroneep jury who recently investigated his
death.

Sir JOHN WALSHAM briefly explained the reason it
had not been entered into earlier, in consequence of his
being on the continent, through ill-health, when the
charges`of ill-usage towards the deceased pauper were
first made.

Mr. Eastcott,' medical officer of the uaion, stated that
as medical officer, he had had no occasion to complain of
Slater's conduct to the poor. None of the poor com-
plained ever of being ill-treated by Slater—at least, he
had never heard of such being the case. Such complaints
were never made to him.

The Rev. William Hicks, the chaplain of the union,
stated that he had not had any reason to complain of
Slater's conduct. Had there been any complaint against
him he would have heard of it. Never heard Slater
speak one word of improper language. He (witness) would
not say by any means that Slater might not have used
such language or acted in the way sworn by parties at
the late inquest. Had encouraged Slater's kindness, by
many presents at different times, for his humanity to
the sick paupers confided to his charge.
John Hall, Esq., one of the guardians, deposed that he
had never heard any complaint, nor had any reason to
find fault with the practices adopted in the union.

Some of the paupers in the infirmary were next ques-
tioned as to the treatment they had received, but were so
infirm and imbecile as not to be able to give any satis-
factory answer to the inquiries put to them.
Abraham Bigmore, another pauper, who at his own
entreaty was excused from being sworn, stated that h.
had seen Slater slap Webb's face now and then. He
had hoard Slater swear.

(At this juncture of the proceedings, i❑ consequence of
he lateness of the hour, the report was dispatched so as
to meet the train.)

DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL WALPOLE BROWNE.—
We have to announce the decease of another veteran
flag-officer, Rear-Admiral Edward Walpole Browne,
ho died on the 15th instant, at his temporary residenoe
near Spittal, Bellvick-on-Tweed, at an advanced age.
He was a native of the county of Kent, and for many
years resided at Walmer, one of the Cinque Ports. He
entered the naval service at a very tender age. His
commission of lieutenant bears date so far back as
November 9, 1790; June 25th, 1799, he was made com-
mander; April 29th, 1802, captain; and rear-admiral,
August 17th, 1840.
CITY OF LONDON MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.—The
second quarterly meeting of the elocution class belonging
to this establishment took place on Tuesday night in the
lectiqe .room of the institution,Gould-square, Crutched
members of the class, reciteu lleetivu.
of our best dramatists, including Shakspere, Otway,
Sheridan, and Centlivre. There was a due proportion
of the " grave and gay" comprised in the entertainmentwhich was most creditable to those who provided it, and
appeared to give the utmost satisfaction to a crowded
audience of members and friends of the institution. Mr.
Rowley occupied the chair ; and among those who took
part in the recitations were Messrs. George, Walter,
Carrol, Gleed, Fury, Wale, Thomas, and Cross. The
class appears to combine the twofold merit of aiding in-
dividual improvement and the general attractions of the
institution.

THUNDER STORM IN SPANISH TOWN.—A very
severe thunder storm was experienced in Spanish Town
between three and four o'clock on Sunday last, which was
succeeded by one of the heaviest falls of rain within the
recollection of the oldest inhabitants. In this city
(Kingston) the rain commenced early yesterday morn-
ing, and continued for the whole day with little or no
intermission. The streets overflowed with water, and in
consequence very little if any business was transacted.—

PRICE OF GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 16 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 25 55 ; and the exchange at Paris on
London at short being 25 70, it follows that gold
is 0.58 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 434
per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10i d.
per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9} ;
and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short
being 13 91, it follows that gold is 0.11 per cent. dearer
in London than in Hamburgh.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE VICTORY OF TRAFALGAR.--
Yesterday being the 41st anniversary of the ever memo-
rable victory of Trafalgar, several of the surviving heroes
duly celebrated it in various parts of the United King-
dom, by dining together. Though death has, since the
day of the engagement, made heavy havoc amongst the
officers that took part in the contest, some hundreds still
remain, the most distinguished being Admiral of the
White, Sir Edward Codrington, who on the occasion
was captain of the Orion, Vice-Admiral the Hon. T. a
Cassel (then captain of the Phoebe), Rear-Admiral Sir
Charles Bullew (captain of the Britannia), Captain Clo-
ven, who was senior lieutenant of Collingwood's vessel,
the Royal Sovereign. This officer, whose services were
officially commended, was wounded severely. Captain
J. Pasco, who was senior and signal-lieutenant of the
Victory, was also wounded. Captain Thomas Dick-
inson, on the occasion midshipman on board the Royal
Sovereign, was wounded, &c.
FUNERAL or LADY ANNE HAMILTON.—The re-
mains of this lady, the descendant of a long line of illus-
trious ancestry, were on Tuesday morning removed from
her late residence, No. SO, White Lion-street, Penton-
ville, to their final resting-place in Mensal-green Ceme-
tery. Although the deceased lady lived in her obscure
retreat in the strictest privacy, she was not unknown in
the neighbourhood, and many will have reason to lament
the loss of a liberal benefactress. Her Ladyship's age

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The marriage of Lady
Charlotte Elizabeth Herbert, second daughter of the
Earl and Countess of Powis, and Mr. Hugh Mont-

broke out upon the extensive pile of buildings belong-

between

first discovered by one of the workmen issuing from the
windows, both back and front, of that portion of the fac-
tory termed the bracing and veneering shop. Owing to
the indefatigable exertions of the firemen, the flames
were attacked just as they were rolling up the staircase
into the floor above. Both compartments contained a
large number of instruments partially fit ished. Those
in the bracing shop arc either consumed or rendered
worthless by the action of the fire, and those in the floor
above are considerably damaged by heat and smoke.
The loss will fall upon (we understand) the Westmin-
ster and Globe Offices. It could not be learned how
the outbreak happened ; when the workmen left, a few
minutes previously, everything appeared quite safe.
