THE ROYAL VISIT TO READING.

The arrangements for the royal visit to Reading are
now completed. , The Prince and the Princess of Wales
will arrive in the town to-morrow (Friday) at 12.30. The
arrival will be signalled by hoisting the royal standard on
the tower of St. Lawrence. Their Royal Highnesses will
be received by the 'mayor and corporation, who will
present the usual address. The Prince and the Princess
will be conducted to their carriage, and a procession will
be formed to the grounds. The Berks militia will form
the guard of honour at the station; the let
Berks volunteers the guards at the school grounds.
At the Reception Hall the Freemasons will go through
a ceremonial entry. The address to the Princess will be
given in quite a novel form ; it will be reduced by photo-
graphy, enclosed in a locket, and appended to a fan—the
fan mounted by mother-o'-pearl, and having views of the
Abbey Gateway and the Reading Schools painted thereon.
After the ceremony, the Prince and the Princess will
return to the Town Hall, and will be entertained at
luncheon by the Mayor and Corporation. The hall is
magnificently decorated ; a crystal fountain plays in the
centre ; flowers and flags hang in all directions. The
streets are planted with fir trees.

THE DISFRANCHISEMENT OF SLIGO-A
PROTEST.

The corporation of Sligo have unanimously adopted a
petition to the House of Lords praying to be heard by
counsel at the bar of the House, to show cause against the
passing of the Sligo Disfranchisement Bill. It is urged
against the measure that it is an infraction of the Aot of
Union, inasmuch as it takes away from Ireland a repre-
sentative which is hers by right ; that it is an injustice to
Sligo, and altogether inconsistent with themode in which
the Government has treated the Dublin freemen ; and
that it is not in accordance with the report of the Special
Commissioners, they having declared bribery to be con-
siderably on the decline. The memorial especially
urges that in Dublin, though a far greater per centage of
persons were found guilty of corrupt practices, only those
reported for bribing and being bribed in the election of
1868 are to suffer, while in Sligo the whole constituency is
to be disfranchised. Subscriptions for an appeal are being
collected in the borough of Sligo. The Marquis of Salis-
bury has, it is said, promised to discuss the matter.

ASSAULTING A SECRETARY OF A CRICKET

CLUB.

This morning John Brown, described by our correspon-
dent as a " millionaire," residing atßosehill, Chesterfield,
was charged at Chesterfield Police-Court with assaulting
George Broomhead. Mr. Blackburn, of the Midland
Circuit, appeared for the defence ; and Mr. Busby for the
complainant. From the evidence it appeared that the
complainant is one of the secretaries of the Chesterfield
Cricket Club, and was going with the other secretary, Mr.
Toplis, to pay defendant ten pounds for a quarter's rent
of the cricket ground. Defendant refused to accept that
sum, alleging that a further sum of fifty shillings was
due. He then assaulted complainant by shaking him and
making his hand bleed. The bench fined the defendant
Bs. and costs. The defendant was member of the Chester-
field Town Council last year, and he also aspired to the
mayoralty of that borough, but lost his election.
