bottom of the High-street; and by the triumphal arch
erected there a band was stationed, ►wen the National
Anthem was played as the royal carriages passed.
On reaching the market-place the royal standard was
hoisted on the tower of the ancient parish church, and
the bells rang a lively peal. The royal cortege having
gone through the town, proceeded by the London-road
to the south entrance to the park.
The Marquis of Salisbury having conducted the
Queen to the park gates, preceded the cavalcade, and
arrived at the mansion in sufficient time to personally
receive his august visitors.
• The troops of the South Herts Yeomanry Cavalry,
and the band of that regiment, were drawn up in squad-
rons on each side of the gateway to the court-yard.
The cavalcade passed along the avenue, and entered
the court amidst the cheering of a highly respectable
assemblage, and the royal carriage immediately drove up
to the grand porch in the south front.
Her Majesty and Prince Albert, on alighting from the I
royal carriage, were received by the Noble Marquis and
his daught.rs, the Lady Mildred Hope, and Lady
Blanche Balfour. The Queen having saluted their
Ladyships, was conducted by the Marquis if Salisbury
to King James's room, n here the distinguished person-
ages honoured by invitations to meet her Majesty were
introduced.

The Duke of Wellington was loudly cheered by the
people w herever he appearvd. His Grace looked re-
markably well, and to all appearances was highly grati-
fied at the recvption given to the Queen.
Immediately after her Majesty had entered the man-
sion, the Yeomanry Cavalry retired from the park. A
troop is stationed on duty at the mansion during the
royal visit.

'Viscount Melbourne and Lord and Lady Beau sale
came over from Brocket Hall, to have the honour of
joining the dinner circle.
The banquet was served up in the great hall in a
princely style of splendour.
The dinner circle was as follows, in addition to the
Noble Marquis and his august visitors:—The Duke of
Wellington, the Duke of Rutland, the Marquis and
Marchioness of Exeter, the Earl and Countess Brown-
low, the Earl and Countess Spencer, Lord and Lady
Cowley, Lord Sandys, Lord and Lady Bray brooke and
Honourable Miss Neville, Lord John Russell, Viscount
Melbourne, Lord and Lady Beauvale, Lord and Lady
Charles Welesley, Lord Marcus Hill, Mr. Alexander B.
and Lady Mildred Hope, Mr. James M. and Lady
Blanche Balfour, and the Earl of Morton, Lord in Wait-
ing ; the Countess of Gainsborough, Lady in Waiting ;
the Honourable Miss Dawson, Maid of Honour ; and
Colonel Buckley, Equerry in Waiting to her Majesty ;
and Mr. George E. Anson, Private Secretary, and Cul.
Seymour, Equerry in attendance on the Prince Consort,
&c. Covers were laid for forty guests.

ROYAL VISIT TO ARUNDEL.
We have received the following communication from
our Arundel correspondent :
" The visit of her Majesty and Royal Consort to the
Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, at Arundel Castle, will,
it is confidently expected, take place next week, for
which happy event all the necessary preparations are in
a forward state. We believe that up to the evening of
Tuesday her Majesty had not communicated to his
Grace her intentions as to the day oa which she will
arrive; but, according to present arrangements, the du-
ration of the visit will be four days, including those of
the arrival and departure. During the Royal stay, her
Majesty will pay a visit to the Duke of Richmond, at
Goodwood, calling on the way upon the Countess of
Newburgh, at Slindon House, and will also honour
Colonel Wyndham with a visit, at Petworth House.
" The arrangements in anticipation of the royal visit
include new dresses for the boys and girls of the na-
tional schools, the laying down of gas pipes for illumi-
natirg the exterior and approaches of the Castle, and the
planting of cannon for firing royal salutes. Artists sr-
rived last week to sketch the rooms, &c., of the Castle,
for the pictorial newspapers.
" The royal party will arrive by special train via the
London and Brighton Railway, quitting and taking the
train at the Arundel Station of the Chichester Branc:b."
It has been stated in some of the London papers that
her Majesty will male a brief sojourn at the Pavilion,
after her visit to Arundel Castle. We can only state
that no preparations have been made at the Pavilion,
such as to induce the belief that we are to be honoured
with a royal visit at so early a period ; and, even so late
as yesterday, no less than 57 large hampers of wine were
taken from the Pavilion, and conveyed by railway to
London.—Brighton Gazette.

TIIE MEXICAN BONDHOLDERS.
Whatever opinion may be entertained of Mr. Mur-
phy's answer to the Mexican Minister of Finance, and
its sufficiency in justification of the late conversion, there
is one fact which makes a strong impression on even the
most sanguine holders of stock, and that is, that there is
no doubt that the dispatch, be its reasonings good, bad,
or indifferent, expresses the feelings of the Mexican Go-
vernment,such as it was, at the date of the latest advices.
It is perfectly evident that the people who have to pay
make a formal objectioa to the document on which pay-
ment is claimed. Whether they are justifiable or not,
there is the fact, and the bondholders cannot be perfectly
easy, however logical or equitable their position.
Indeed, Mr. Murphy's letter has confirmed this fact.
When first we gave the substance of the Gout( z Farias
dispatch there was nothing more common than to hear
that we had been hoaxed, and that no such document ex-
isted as the one described. The assertions thus recklessly
uttered were put to silence by the publication of the
op; rative part of the dispatch, which had been forwarded
for that purpose by Senor Gomez Farias the younger.
Then came a .series of doubts whether that gentleman
was peoperly authorised, and whether Mr. Murphy was
bound to take any notice of his document. All these
doubts are dispelled iu ther turn by Mr Murphy's letter,
in which he examines and criticises the charge made
age in‘t him in the. dispatch, and officially publishes it.
'I he discussion now becomes merely one on the late con-
version, and the authority to make it, the great fact that
the pre sent Mexican Government protest a;;ainst it being
incontrovertibly proved. Some persons, we have heard,i
are so sensitive, that they attribute the pains we took to
set forth this fact in a strong light, ut a time win n
doubts were so freely uttered, to a feeling inimical to the
bondholders. Such a charge as this is too absurd to
merit a reply. If it was an injury to the bondholders
to put them in possession of a fact most important
for them to know long before there was any other
source for the information but that of mere rumour,
such an injury we committed. We gave the material
part of the dispatch, and from Mr. Murphy's first letter
to the Spanish American committee, it is not too much
to infer that to the publication of that part the bond-
holders are in some measure indebted for the official
publication of the whole.
While it is clear that the feeling of the existing Go-
vernment is against the converted bonds, and in favour
of a re-conversion of these into their original shape, some
of the dealers are beginning to inquire what would be
the result of such a re-conversion. The TiCIV bonds do
not all represent the same original stock, but some re-
present the old Active, some the old Deferred or Deben-
tures, and some a mixture of both. If the old bonds had
remained unconverted, it is very clear that, the time for
the Deferred becoming Active drawing nearer every day,
the difference between the two descriptions would be
getting less than at the beginning of the year. The
relative values of Active and Deferred stock would
have changed; and thus, if a re-conversion takes place;
the holder of a new bond for 100 L may find himself in a
different position from another holder to the same
amount, according to the nature of the old bonds given
in exchange, one being entitled to take so much Active,
another so much Deferred, in various proportions.
Hence a correspondent suggests that on every new bond
should be marked the description of old stock for which
it was changed, that people may know what they are
buying, in case of are conversion. We hope that the
present storm will blow over, and that there will be no
occasion for a process so difficult and troublesome that
Mr. Murphy pronounces it a "physical impossibility;"
but, in the meanwhile, the point started by our cor
respondent is too curious not to merit a moment's at
tention.

The neat• Mexican bonds issued under the late con-
version amount, we are told, to 7,300,0001., being about
two-thirds of the amount stipulated.— 7 inus.

THE GREAT WESTERN STEAMER. LIVERPOOL,
THURSDAY AFTERNOON.—The ship Sea has arrived ;
she sailed from New York on the 30th ult., the same
day as the Cambria's mails were dispatched to Boston,
consequently her news is not any later. We are now
hcurly expecting the Great Western.
THE NAILORS' STRIEE.—The nailors about Broms-
grove have partially resumed work again, and the re-
mainder are expected to go to work in a day or two,
though it is not yet settled whether an advance in the
wages will take place or not.
THE EARL OF LINCOLN AND THE REPRESENTA-
TION OF LANARKSHIRM—II is rumoured that whenever
a dissolution of Parliament takes place Lord Lincoln
will be brought forward to contest the important county
of Lanark, against the present Protection member, Mr.
Lockhart. As he will have nearly the unanimous sup-
port of the manufacturing and commercial interests of
the lower and middle wards, as well as the powerful
support of his noble father-in-law, the Duke of Hamil-
ton, and the Whig gentry, success is almost certain.
SUDDEN DEATH OF T. BATE, ESQ.—We regret
to have to announce another instance cf sudden death
in this county. Thomas Bate, Esq., for many years a
banker of Dudley, and a magistrate of Worcestershire,
and who has always taken an active part in the magis-
terial business of the neighbourhood, died on Tuesday
se'nnight. He had in the evening complained of a pain
in the chest, and retired early to bed ;
.in half an hour
afterwards he was a corpse.— Worcester Journal.
LARGE IMPORTATIONS OF BREAD STUFFS.—III the
Sheridan, from New York, arrived at Liverpool on
Tuesday, there are 1,678 barrels of flour, 335 of corn
meal, 10,400 bushels of Indian corn, 9,000 bushels of
wheat. In the Wyoming, from Philadelphia, arrived
same time, there are 1,000 barrels of flour, 14,700 bushels
of Indian corn, 6,400 bushels of wheat, 563 barrels of
corn meal. As the wind is now blowing strong from the
south-west, there will be many arrivals this week of flour
and corn from the United States.

INCENDIARISM.—An extensive fire broke out be-
tween seven and eight o'clock on Tuesday night at Bat's
green farm, in tho parish of Hurley, Berks, on the road
from Henley to Maidenhead, The fire, which was to be
seen many miles round for Feveral hours after the out-
break, was observed at Reading, a distance of ten miles,
from the eminence of the spot. Owing to a gentle breeze
at the time of the conflagration, and the want of engines
at hand, it was a long time before it could be subdued.
Considerable property was destroyed, and the firo is
generally supposed to have been the act of an incendiary.
IVo have not heard whether the property was insured.
The utmost altirm was created in many parts where the
fire was viewed.

DUDLEY OLD BANK.—A dividend of 2s. Gd. was
paid by Edward Dixon, Esq., on Tuesday week, making
a total of 20s. in the pound on all claims on account of
this bank.

emergency, that which many previous Parliaments have
unhesitatingly done in far less serious emergencies,
there would be obvious constieutlonal pr ,priety in giving
it the opportunity of promptly arresting the conse •
i voices of its own error.
ADVERTISEII.—AIthough the alliance between
Fiance arid Spain—now become matter of history—is
almost wear threadbare in discussion, there is yet one
point of view, from which it has been but little consi
tiered by the parties engaged in the controversy, but
which is, in fact, the most important to this country.
We mesa the degree in which the material interests of
England are concerned, in preventing the union of the
young Infanta Luisa with the i)trice de Montpensier. It
is, in fact, from a want of knowledge of the pounds-
shillings-aed-peece part of the argument, that many
persons in this country maintain that we are not justi-
fied in interfering with a mere family arrangement.
They assert that England has already lost enough by
her interference in the domestic quarrels of other na-
tions, and that she ought by this time to
have learned experience, and should quietly stand
by, and let other nations do as they like with their own.
Such principles are, it must be owned, very good in
theory; needless and uncalled-for interference with
the transactions of foreign states is certainly
to be deprecated; and it is allowed that past expe-
rience shows that we have not always reaped the
benefits from our benevolent interposition which we
more immediately proposed to ourselves. But the ques-
tion is, can a great commercial state like England exist
without in seine degree interfering in the affairs, internal
and external, not only of her neighbours, but of all the
world ? A small inland state like Anhalt, or Lippe-
Detmold, may not, perhaps, be much affected by a few
islands at the Antipodes being taken possession of by
France, or by the Dutch dethroning a petty Sultan in
the Indian Ocean ; England, however, with her com-
merce extending to the remotest corners of the earth,
her ships in every sea, and her possessions on which the
sun never sets, is concerned in every event that can
occur, even of the most insignificant nature. His Serenity
of An.alt, or his Highness of Lippe, cannot lay an ad-
ditional thaler on the cotton nightcaps of his subjects,
without perhaps throwing a hundred or two English
workmen out of employ, and causing the ruin of one or
more manufacturers and merchants. The lass accruing
to England by the union of France and Spain, is by no
means to be measured by the amount of diminution of poli-
tical influence sustained by this country at the Court of
Madrid. France is lunging to become a manufacturing
and commercial country. Two things, however, pre-
vent the attainment of her wishes—she has no market
fur her manufactures--she has not adequate ports for
her commerce. In the open market she is undersold by
England; Germany (or at least the
,Zollverein :States)
is herself a manufacturing country, and as eager as
France to become a commercial power. With the excep-
tion of Marseilles on the Mediterranean, and Havre and
Bordeaux on the Atlantic coast, France dors not pos-
sess a single port equal to a third-rate English port.
Her manufactures cannot flourish for want of commerce;
her commerce is declining owing to the deficiency
of manufactures. The fruits of the Montpensier
alliance are expected to supply all these wants.
Spain possesses numerous splendid ports on a long
line of coast ; Barcelona, Carthagena, Seville, '
Cadiz, Malaga, and numerous others present un-
rivalled facilities for again creating an extensive
commerce, such as once made Spain the greatest nation
in Europe. The immense trade of England with these
1 ports is naturally regarded by France with the utmost
envy, and were the influence of that power once predo-
minant at Madrid, there can be little doubt that special
commercial treaties, differential duties, and exclusive
privileges to French commerce would soon reduce the
trade between England and Spain to a mere name. The
cottons now exported from England to Spain and her
colonies, to the amount of several hundred thousand
pounds, would have to give way to the productions of
Rouen, Mulhausen, Lyons, and other would-be " Man-
chesters " of France, while the grain and other
natural productions of Spain, the sugar, coffee, and
tobacco of Cuba, and the spices of the Philippines, re-
ceived in exchange, would contribute to raise French
shipping at the expense of England.
HERALD.—A most sensible—and, we may add, a
most seasonable, letter—appeared in the columns of a
Contemporary, headed " A Few Words to the Members
of Agricultural Societies and others interested in Land,"
and signed " James Stewart, Lincoln's Inn." At the
first blush we were under the impression that this letter
was the production of Mr. J. Stewart, the Queen's Coun-
sel, who has recently been elected M.P. for Newark, by
the protectionists of Notts, and who is a gentleman of
some seven-and-twenty years' standing at the bar ; but
on closer inspection we find it is the production of Mr. i
James Stewart, of Stone-buildings, the conveyancer and
equity draughtsman—a gentleman who, though without
a silk gown, is of some twenty years' standing in the
profession--and who, as a legal author, has incorporated
the alterations in the law of real property down to the
present time—or at least down to 1837—with the text of
Blackstone. Though Mr. Stewart comes before the pub-
lic with the disrepute of having been made a Whig com-
missioner, fur some years cf assiduous Whig Radical
voting in the House of Commons, and on Committees
—and though we believe he hiss had no very large
practical experience in his profession—we nevertheless
conceive that his letter is well worthy of attention, em-
bodying, as it does, many valuable and really practical
suggestions. Wo are by e o means insensible to the ad-
vantage conferred on the community by the Ist William
IV., c. 27, which extended the remedies provided by the
3d and 4th William and Mary, c. 14, for the relief of
creditors against fraudulent devises, and enabled courts
of equity to carry their decrees on this subject into exe-
cation. Neither would we undervalue the Acts of Ist
William IV,, cc. 47, 65, 60, 36, and 40, known to the
profession under the style and title of Sir E. Sugden's
Acts—and which provided for consolidating. and amend-

DETENTION OF THE EDINBURGH MAIL.—The Lon-
don mail (conveyed by the North British Railway) is
very irregular in its arrival. It did not arrive on Satur-
day evening till eleven o'clock, three hours, and on
Sunday forenoon it was almost four hours beyond its
usual time. The cause of the detention of the train, we
have learned, was owing to the engine on the York and
Newcastle Railway having run off the line at York—for-
tunately without the occurrence of any casualty. The
mail was delayed yesterday forenoon a couple of hours,
from the heavy ra:Ls which have fallen.—Edinburgh
itness, Oct. 21.
