Judge of the._ ~;et ,; but at the present stage
of tbc;:pNese4ings, it was not deemed expedient to
the representatives :of the press. We. have,
ever, ascertained,.from a sotace that is entitled to
molt implicit Credence, that the preferlce' of Dr.
M'lntYre and.ttvo 'other eminent physicians had been
specially secured. •
It is hoped that Sir George Grey will immediately
interfere until proper inquiry can be instituted.

The alteratiohs and decoratiorta. necessary in the
Town-hall are being proceeded with in earnest, and
the workmen are engaged is forming the halcouy
from which her Majesty will overlook doe area of the
Exchange, and the communication from the Town-
hall to the Exchange News-room,' which will be laid
out as a supper-room for the accommodation of the
persons who will attend the ball to be given by the
Mayor and Corporation on the evening of the 9th.
On Friday the mode of distributing the tickets of
invitation to the Town-hall, which has hitherto been
a subject of much discussion, came again under consi • -
deration. The arrangement agreed to was that each
councillor be supplied with ten ball tickets for his
family and private friends; that 1,490 tickets be ap-
portioned to the sixteen wards, in reference to the
number of voters in each ; that 250 tickets be left at
the disposal of the Mayor, and 120 to members of the
dock committee. The members for each ward are to
meet and send in as many names in the ward as there
are tickets; but if any one of these names is objec-
tionable it is to be rejected, end the ticket otherwise
disposed of. The list is as follows :—Everton, 111 ;
Scotland, 100; Vauxhall, 51; St. Paul's, 69; Ex-
change, 110 ; Castle-street, 130; St. Peter's, 100 ;
Pitt-street, 67; Great George, 70; Rodney, 132 ;
AlArcromby, 109; Lime-street, 109 ; St. Anne-
street, 61 ; West Derby, 86 • South Tox-
teth, 73 ; North Toxteth, 112 ; Dock Committee,
120 • Councilldrs G4O ; Mayor, 250 ; total, 2,509.
Platforms for the accommodation of the public will
be erected on the pierheads of the Prince's, King's,
and Albert docks. In order to prevent accidents,
brick supports for the stages are now in the course of
construction.
It appears that only about 8,000 children can be
accommodated in the enclosure at St. George's
Hall, and it has been proposed to erect a platform
for the remainder of the charity-school children near
to Newsham-house.
The shopkeepers of Bold-street have formed them-
selves into a committee for the purpose of making ar-
rangements on an extensive scale. They have decided
upon erecting triumphal arches at the top and bottom
of the street.
A London paper says—" On the requisition of the
local authorities, the Admiralty have ordered a quan-
tity of the Government flags at Woolwich to be lent
to the corporation of Liverpool, and to be sent to the
dock secretary's office for the purpose of decoration,
on her Mijesty's visit to this mighty and enterprising
port."

A contemporary says—" The Queen, on her pro-
gress southward to Liverpool, is ooming, not on the
Last Lancashire Railway, as was supposed, but on
the London and North-Western line. Last week the
Earl of Derby gave notice to his tenantry that her
Majesty, on her way to this town, would leave the
train at Reinhill, and enter Knowsley-park at the
Eccleston-gate ; that she would then pass on through
the grounds, and see the avairy, which will be kept
in its present state, notwithstanding that the sale will
commence two days previously, till after the royal
visit. The tenautry and others belonging to the estate
sere to be entertained at a public dinner. Since then
the railway authorities have represented to her Ma-
jesty that, as they were making alterations at Rain-
hill, they would recommend that she should alight at
Edgehill, or come into the Lime-street station, prior
to proceeding to Croxteth. Her Majesty, it appears,
however, is particular anxious to alight at Rainhill,
as she wants to pass through Knowsley-park ; and the
railway directors will, doubtless, make arrangements
accordant wi;le her desire. The Queen and the
Royal party, it is understood, will be joined at
the Park-gate junction by Lord and Lady Elles-
mere, who with the Earl of Derby and his Countess,
are to be the guests of Lord Sefton that evening. As
the commissioners of Birkenhead cannot address the
Queen, they are resolved to gratify their friends by
giving them a chance of seeing her Majesty; and
they have determined to send out two of their finest
boats, the Lord Morpeth, and either the Queen or
the Wirral, for that purpose, About 600 will thus
be accommodated ; and no doubt the parade at Wood-
side and all accessible places on that side will be
crowded."
The royal yacht tender the Fairy, Master Com-
mander Welsh, sailed at ten o'clock on Saturday
morning for Liverpool, in order to be in readiness to
receive her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the royal
children on the 9th proximo. The Fairy sailed thus
early to make sure of rounding the Land's-end with
fine weather, and reached Holyhead yesterday at two
o'clock. She may be expected to reach the Mersey
to-night. The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert,
Captain Lord A. Fitzclarence, was to follow the Fairy
to Liverpool yesterday (Monday). After the depar-
ture of the Court both yachts will return to Ports-
mouth.
The contract for the street barricades has been
taken by Messrs. A. and G. Holme, who undertake
to execute the work at ls. a yard, the wood to be re-
turned when done with.
Messrs. Thomson. Bigham, and Woodruff, coun-
cillors for Scotland ward, met their constituents on
Friday evening last, and handed over to them the
whole of the tickets which had been allotted to them
for the occasion of the Queen's visit. This course
appeared to give great satisfaction to the burgesses,
who returned a number of the tickets for the private
use of their representatives, and appointed a com-
mittee of nine to distribute the remainder amongst
the electors of the ward. •
The erection of a triumphal arch at the boundary
of the borough, near Newsham-house, was agreed
upon on Saturday last by the committee of the council,
their being only four dissentients. The arch is to be
sixty feet high, and will cost about 2501. Mr.
Newlands, our excellent borough engineer, is the
designer.
The pensioners of this district, under the command
of Captain Greig, are to assemble for autumn drill
on the Bth October. On the following day—that
of her Majesty's visit—they are to be at the disposal
of the Mayor, so as to contribute in the most effective
manner to the demonstration. On this occasion, too,
the fine band of these companies will be brought into
requisition.

LOWBOROUGH HILL, THE HIGHEST SPOT IN BERKS.
—lt may not be generally known that the highest ground
in Berkshire is a hill four miles east of Ilsley ; in the inte-
resting work, published by Mr. William "'mitt, a few
years since, on the antiquities of Compton, we find the
following particulars :—" The panoramic view from this
bleak but delightful spot, which rises 830 feet above the
level of the sea, is extensive and highly diversified ; the
view being bounded on the east by the Chilterns of Oxford-
shire and Bucks, and on the south by the Hampshire Hills.
Among other objects too numerous to particularise, Farring-
donbe distinctly seen. This camp, com-
irveisewinoafyno less than twelve military entrench-
Clump, White Horse Hill, and Oxford, with its ve-
mgsoapst of which were occupied by the Romans, was
nelculated to keep the conquered Britons in awe for
around, and must therefore have been a castruns
amwn ieei:trilninealt:stdbUeSila: of the utmost importance. The Ridgeway passes
within a few hundred yards of this hill, and the corner
of Unhill Wood is a fine circular barrow surrounded by
a fosse."

DETERMINED ATTEMPTED SUICIDE..—.On MOW.
dly night, a well-dressed man, named William Robinson,
who had come up from Manchester to see the Exhibition,
attempted to terminate his existence at the Hop Poles,
Edgware-road, by cutting his threat with a penknife, and
stabbing himself with the same instrument on the body,
He was conveyed on a stretcher to St. Mary's Hospital,
Paddington, bleeding profusely from his wounds, and his
recovery is extremely doubtful. He had in his possession
nearly 301.
evening about seven o'clock, Mr. Larkman,
one of the chief clerks at the parcel office of the Waterloo
Railway terminus, suddenly fell forward while sitting at his
desk, and was taken up dead.
