LORD PALMERSTON AT MANCHESTER

Lord and Lady Palmerston are still sojourning at Clare-
mont, the seat of Sir B. Heywood. Yesterday morning
they inspected the extensive cation mills of Sir E. Ar-
mitage, at Pendleton ; and at 12 o'clock they visited the
Mechanics' Institution, in David•street, where several of
the directors were in attendance to receive them. Sir
B. Heywood, Mr. J. Heywood, M.P., Mr Oliver Hey-
wood, Mr. Brotherton, M.P., Mr. J. F. Foster (chair-
man of the Salfurd Sessions), .Mr. J. C. Harter, and
many of the most eminent manufacturers of the
city were also present. The distinguished visitore
were conducted through the institution by Mr. Joseph
Manchester, the chairman of the board, and appeared to
derive much pleasure from the contemplation of the
beautiful works of art with which the courts and gal.
leries are adorned. In the armoury Lord Palmerston
paid particular attention to the new patent rifled howit-
zer 24-pounder, Mr. Whitworth, the inventor, being
present, and explaining the principles on which the gun
is constructed. The halls and corridors of the library
were thronged with spectators, by whom the Premier
was cordially applauded. The noble lord and party
afterwards repaired to the machine works and manufac-
tories of Mr. Whitwortb, and spent some time in exa-
mining the various departments of that interesting esta-
blishment. They then repaired to the benking-house of
Sir B. Heywood, and, after partaking of luncheon there,
returned to Claremont about 4 o'clock.
The programmeoof proceedings for to-morrow is as
follows :—At 11 o'clock Lord and Lady Palmerston
will visit the Royal Museum and Library at Peel park,
Salford. They will be received by the Mayor and muni-
cipal authorities, by whom they will be conducted
through the picture gallery and library to the reading-
room, where a congratulatory address on behalf of the
borough will be presented. The institution which is to
be the scene of this courteous ceremony is one of the
most prosperous of the kind in England. It was pur-
chased by the corporation of Salford in 1849, for 13,000/.,
and is supported by a borough rate of Ad. in the pound.
The library comprises 18,500 volumes, 400 of which are
in daily use at the institution, while 250 are lent out
gratuitously to the public. The museum has been visited
during the seven years that it has been open by as many
as 2,165,359 persons, being an average
of about 3,000
daily. In the 10 months of the present year the num-
ber of visitors has been upwards of 580,000. The cor-
poration of Salford is a generous benefactor.of the insti-
tution, having already made gra ets to it to the amount
of 5,0001. From the Museum the Premier will proceed
to the Town-hall, where at 12 o'clock lie will receive the
addresses of the Town Council, the Chamber of Com-
merce, and the Commercial Association.
At 8 o'clock in the evening there will be a meeting
of the members of the Mechanics' Institution at the
Free Trade Hall, and it, is expected that the noble Lord
will attend and deliver an address.
It is probable that his Lordship will remain in Man-
chester till Saturday.

Complaints are made of the non arrival of a portion
of the Mexican mails by the steamer Parana. It is
alleged that in the present instance the failure has arisen
through neglect.

LATEST NEWS.

The Paris correspondent of the Times (second
edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says :
" A private letter from Berlin says that Prus-
sia, Russia, and France are agreed on requiring
the evacuation of the Principalities by the Aus-
trians, and of the Black Sea by the English
squadron.

"It has been rumoured for some days back
that the French fleet was about to proceed to the
Black Sea. This, I believe, is not certain ; the
fleet may, perhaps, leave Toulon, but it is not
probable it will go so far."
