LEVEE 01? THE QUEEN OF OUDE.

SOUTHAMPTON, AUG. 24.
The mayor of this town, Richard Andrews, Esq., the
Marquis of Conyngliair, Lord Francis Conyngham,R.N.,
the Hon. Mr. Talbot, tee Earl of Hard wicke, and Lady
Emily Yorke, visited the Princes of Oude at the Royal
York Hotel hero on Friday, and a large number of resi-
dent nobility and gentry of the neighbourhood expressed
a wish to visit the Princes, the latter held a levee yes-
terday. The Queen Dowager of Oude als3 received a
limited number of ladies. The time for visiting the
princes was fixed at half-past 3 in the afternoon, and
that for the Queen mother at 4 o'clock. Soon after 3
o'clock unusual bustle was observed at the hotel. The
crowd before the building became greater, and there was
much excitement in the interior. A notice was affixed bo
the inner doorway, written in Hindostanee and English,
that gentlemen were not allowed to enter. Gold and
silver mace bearers stood inside the door to guard the
entrance. Messre. Brandon, Rogers, and other interpre-
ters were also in attendance, and none were allowed to
pass in but the nobility and gentry. The reception was
held at the upper part of the hotel, where the princes re-
side. Oriental servants were stationed along the stair-
cases to show the way to the reception-roam. The visitors
passed by the apartments of the zemindars, jagheedars,
and other native gentlemen who have accompanied the
royal family of Oude to this country. At half-past 3 the
reception took place, Major Bird acting as mater of the
ceremonies. On entering the reception room the two Princes
of Oude were seen standing at the further end, dressed in a
magnificent costume. The heir apparent had on a cloak of
scarlet and gold. His head-dress consisted of a eerie.
netted-shaped cap of rather large size, the most promi-
nent ornament of which was a string of large precious
, stones projecting from the cap. In his hand be held a
sohnitarlsheathed in a magnificent scabbard. His uncle,
' the brother of the ex-king, was dressed in a blue and
silver cloak, with head•drees of the same materials, and
of a fez like shape. By the side of the heir apparent
were two gigantic Nubian eunuchs and two ()Uler
officers of state. Two officers of the royal suite stood by
the side of the Prince's uncle. Major Bird led each
visitor forward, and mentioned the name to the Princes ;
the visitor bowed and retired to the other end of the
room. As soon as the room was full of visitors, the
Princes sat down on a sofa, and the visitors on chairs.
Amongst the visitors so introduced were the Earl and
Countess of Hardwicke, the three Ladies Yorke, Vie-
count Royston, Admiral Avscough and family, Sir
George Wombwell, General Sir George and Lady Pot-
luck, the mayor, high sheriff, and some of the magis-
trates of Southampton, and a number of gentry of the
town and neighbourhood. Sir George Pollock entered
into conversation with the elder Prince. Several of the
higher order of officers of state mingled with the visitors.
The gravity of the Orientals and the profound homage
which the dependents paid to the Princes were strikingly
peculiar. After the visitors had been sitting for a short
time the Princes rose, and the former then stood up,
made their obeisance, and retired, after which other
visitors were admitted. Both of the Princes appeared
remarkably affable, and their countenances seemed to
indicate an amiable disposition.
Soon after 4 o'clock about 30 ladies of Southampton
were admitted into the presence of the ex-Queen. Mrs.
Brandon, an English lady who long resided at Cawn-
pore, in Oude, and who accompanied the Queen to
this country, acted as interpretess. When the visitors
entered the apartment, the Queen was sitting on a
sofa, attended by eight native ladies, one of whom
held over head a species of fan. Her Majesty was
dressed in splendid shawls, but her head, neck, and
one arm were uncovered. Her hair was cut rather short
and brushed back over the head a la
.Chinoie. She wore
two massive earrings, but no other e avveller9 about her
head. Her features bear a striking resemblance to her
grandson's, the heir apparent to the Oude throne. She is
a stout good-looking personage ; is not very dark, and
appears younger than she really is. She has a pleasing
voice, and from her features and manners would appear
to possess a kind and affectionate disposition. She re-
ceived her visitors affably, and seemed gratified. She
pathetically lamented to the Countess of Hardwicke,
one of the visitors, and of whose high rank she seemed
to be aware, that she could not speak to her in the
English iengu see. The interview lasted about a quarter
of an hour. Tue visitors saluted her by making an
obeisance, and then stood round her. During the in•
terview the Princes of Oude entered the apartment, and
sat by the side of their parent. The native ladies were
dressed much like the Queen.
There are three native physicians attached to the
royal family and suite of Oude, whose names are Huk-
keem Mahorneaud Mueieeb, Hukkeciu Alleeoon Zulu-
men., and Hukkeem Meer Shoojah Hoosiain. The pay
of the moonsheis, or writers is 501. a month. There
are five in the suite whose names are Musseehooddeen
Khan Bahador, Mahummud Bakur, 0 wladallie, Kum-
ruoddeen, Koothoodden.
Two of the officers of the Indus (the steamer in which
the royal family of OieTe came to this country) had their
cabins towards the forepart of the ship. Against the
door of one of these cabins the chief eunuch one day
erected his screen, and brought the ladies of the suite to
enjoy themselves away from their cabins. Suddenly the
eunuch heard a slight noise in the officers' cabin ; he

THE TRADE OF HULL SINCE THE RES

TORATION OF PEACE.

_ -
(From the littll Aclvertiscr of Saturday )
To look at our docks now, and to Lave looked at
them but a few short months ago, will be enough to
satisfy everybody that a wonderful, and, indeed, an
almost miraculous, change has taken place in the town
since the news of the withdrawal of the British fleet from
the Black and the Baltic Seas first reached our shores.
We were wont to lament, in the time of war, over the
depressed and barren appearance of trade. Our docks
wore nearly empty—our quays almost unoccupied and
unused—and people every where were indulging gloomily
in the poverty and wretchedness of the times. Poor
labourers hankered, and pined, and sickened at the
leanness of trade, and scarcely knew how to obtain 0
needful support for themselves and their own. Now,
however, a brighter day has dawned upon us. Peace
prevails, and in her train follow the richest
blessings of our land. The ill omens of the past have
given place to prospects which grow more and yet more
cheering, and to those practical and unmistakeable bene-
fits which time alone can prove. And few towns
there are, we feel convinced, who are better able
to appreciate the advantages of the return of peace than
the trading community of this populous and flourishing
port. Peculiarly privileged as it is by its contiguity to
the ports in the Baltic, the stoppage of that important
source of commercial revenue exercises one of the most
powerful influences upon the whole of the trade of the
northern counties. Now it is again thrown open, and
the ships and the steam-boats ply in swift succession to
renew their relations with an old friend, and to engage
once more in that kind of speculative industry which re•
quires extraordinary aid, not only in ships, but in labour
and in capital, whereby we perceive in the strengthening
of those bonds of amity and commerce the foundation of
that which will untimately tend to the well-being and
prosperity of both nations. Apart from all this, how-
ever, should we be inclined to form merely a moan and
selfish estimate of the advantages which accrue from 01711
foreign relations in this respect, we need only look abroad
in the town, and on every hand we perceive the fruits.
Whether it be in the minor improvements of property,
or in the general and consequent revivals of trade, and
the decrease in the price of provisions, we will not
stop to inquire. But in directing attention to the
subject we will regard the shipping interest as of pri-
mary importance in this matter, and will, therefore,
confine our attention to it. As we have just observed
there has been a remarkable increase in the number of
home arrivals, the number of vessels which have
entered our port during last week from foreign ports
being 143, with a total registered tonnage of 34,916.
These have arrived chiefly from ports in the Baltic,
and the cargoes which they have brought have been of
the most useful and valuable description, consisting of
linseed, wheat, oats, flax, bones, timber, rape cake,
&c., to the extent of about 3000 tons. On Sunday last
there was a large increase in the arrivals, no leas than
31 vessels from foreign ports baying entered this port
during the day, bringing their cargoes from St. Peters-
burg, Constantinople, Uleaborg, Wyborg, R:ga, Arch-
angel, &c., with an immense quantity of linseed, barley,
timber, and Is, nee, wool, deals, and iron ; in all, about
9000 tons. On Monday, between 20 and 30 vessel
arrived, principally from the before-named foreign ports,
with similar cargoes, to the extent of about 5000 tons.
On Tuesday 37 vessels arrived ' • eight were from St.
Petersburg, and the remainder from other Baltic ports,
with linseed, cast iron, and timber, &c. On Wednes-
day there were about 40 foreign arrivals from Peters.
burg, Wyborg, Christiania, Riga, Corsoer ; and Dant-
zic, &c., with wheat, barley, linseed, timber, deals, and
iron • and on Thursday and yesterday the number was
considerably augmented. Or, if we take the article of
linseed alone, we shall find that during the past months
from July 30th to August 19th, there has been inns
ported--into Hull no less than 132,984 qrs. and 1868
bags from the ports of St. Petersburg, Konigsburg,
Dantz4. Riga, &c., the quantity entered from the ship
on Wednesday last being 14,201 quarters. The quan-
tity of linseed imported during the quarter ending June
30th was 68,156 qrs., and of other seeds, including
cloverseed, muetardseed, rapeseed, and tares, 9,831 cwt.
and 6,637 qrs. So that, taking the quantity of linseed
for the quarter, we have an average for each of the thred
preceding months of 22,652 qrs., and a return for the
month just passed of 123,984 qrs. and 1,833 bags ; thus
showing an increase of 110,332 qrs. and 1,851 bags in
the importation of linseed alone. This must, indeed, be
a very gratifying circumstance, and, moreover than this,
we find that the north-eastern ports of Newcastle, Sun-
derland, Hartlepool, and Middlesborough present highly
encouraging returns of the increase of exported and im-
ported merchandise. There can, indeed, be no doubt
but that the re-opening of the Baltic ports especially has
been to the northern ports a subject of momentous im•
portance, and that since the time ',of peace an increased
and largely increasing trade has been the result.

THE lIIREWSBURY EARLDOM AND
ESTATES.

s-
In proof of the serious intention of the Ingestre
family to assert the claim of Earl Talbot to the Earldom
of Shrewsbury, it may be stated that on Monday last
Viscount Ingestre, in the name and on behalf of his
father, who is abroad, went, accompanied by the solicitor
of the family and a friend, to Alton Towers, and made
a formal demand of possession of the mansion and estates,
alleging that Lord Talbot is the legal heir. Lord Inges
tre was informed that the trustees under the will of the
late Earl had taken possession, and he was accordingly
refused admission into the house. Should his Lordship
establish his claim, the disentailment by the late Earl
would be nugatory, and the valuable estates attached to
the Earldom in Staffordshire, Shropshire, Cheshire, Ox-
fordshire, and Worcestershire, of the value of 35,000/. a
year, as well as the high honours connected with this
most ancient and distinguished house, would become the
inheritance of the Talbots. Had the earldom been ex-
tinct, the Earl of Derby would have been the Premier
Earl of England, and the Earl of Cork the Premier Earl
of Ireland. The solicitor referred to (Mr. R. W. Hand,
of Stafford) inserted in the Stafford county paper on
Saturday the following notice to the tenantry of the late
Earl of Shrewsbury :
" Gentlemen,—The agents of the late Earl of Shrews.
bury have circulated among you a letter, signed by Mr.
Sergeant Bellasis, one of the late Earl's trustees and
executors, in which it is stated, That his Lordship hav-
ing executed a disentailing deed of the Shrewsbury
estates, and so placed them at his own disposal, has, by
his will, devised them in trust for Lord Edward Ber-
nard Howard, the second son of his Grace the Duke of
Norfolk.'

" The 'Shrewsbury estates' by act of Parliament were
annexed to the Earldom of Shrewsbury, and entailed on
the heirs male of the first Earl of Shrewsbury, and by
the same act every person succeeding to the earldom is
restricted from alienating or disentailing the estates.
The late Earl of Shrewsbury had no power to disentail
the estates annexed to the title by act of Parliament.
That entail could only be destroyed by another act of
Parliament, and none such has ever been passed. By
the numerous deaths of the Earls of Shrewsbury and the
failure of their issue male, Earl Talbot, of Ingestre, in
the county of Stafford, has succeeded to the earldom of
Shrewsbury and the estates annexed to it, and so soon
as Parliament shall meet his lordship will establish hie
claim to that title.

"It is my duty on behalf of Lord Talbot, to warn all
the tenants of the Shrewsbury estates' not to pay any
rent to Loid Bernard Edward Howard. or any of his
agents, or otherwise to acknowledge his claim to the
estates, as the successor to the earldom is entitled to the
rents from the day of the death of the late Earl.
"Had I known the names and addresses of the tenants
of the 'Shrewsbury estates' I should not have adopted
this public mode of giving them the above notice."

DEATH OF THE HON. SIR W. TEMPLE,
. 11.0.8.

We regret to announce the death of the Hon, Sir W.
Temple, brother of Viscount Palmerston, the late Mini
ster Plenipotentiary at the Court of Naples. The me
lancholy event took place at 9 o'clock a.m. yesterday :
at his temporary residence in Do venstreet, Piccadilly.
To say that Sir William's death was sudden would be
scarcely true, for when he left his diplomatic post at the
clo3e of the past month his health was in a very pre
carious state, and since his arrival in London, a fort.
night back, from Naples, no perceptible change had
taken place. On Thursday evening last he was able to
take his accustomed carriage drive, and was able to re-
ceive a visit from Lady Palmerston on Saturday after-
noon, previous to her leaving town for Brocket-hall,
and late in the evening Viscount Palmerston also
called on him, and remained until an advanced
hour. Until half an hour before his death, at the
hour before named, the deceased was in full possession
of all his faculties, and then expired in perfect calm-
ness, without the least apparent pain. Viscount Pal.
merston was immediately apprised of the mournful
news, and instantly afterwards repaired to his brother's
lodgings.
The deceased, the Hon. Sir William Temple, was
second son of Henry, second Viscount Palmerston, by
Mary, only daughter of Mr. Benjamin Mee. He was
born the 19th of January, 1788. He was unmarried.
He was brought up to the diplomatic service, and was
first attached to the embassy at the Hague in 1814.
The deceased, in September the same year, went in an
official capacity to the Congress of Vienna, and shortly
afterwards was appointed Secretary of Legation at
Stockholm. He filled the same position at Frankfort
from July, 1817, until November, 1823, when he went
as Secretary of Legation to Berlin. In January, 1828,
he was appointed -Secretary of Embassy to St. Peters-
burg, and afterwards was precis writer to his brother,
Viscount Palmerston, from January, 1831, to Sep-
tember, 1832. On the 18th of that month, in the same
year, he w
i as appointed Minister to the Court of Dres-
den, and n the, following Nov. Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Naples, the
duties of which high office he discharged up to the last
week of last month, when ill health compelled him to
relinquish his diplomatic functions, and return to his
native country. His departure from Naples was uni-
versally regretted, more especially as it was feared his
shattered constitution would not hermit his return..
Sir Win. Temple was nominated a Civil Knight Grand
Cross of the Bath in March, 1852, for his diplomatic
services.

The Paris commercial report for last week states
that the manufacturers generally complain of the
small profits realised in consequence of the con-
tinued high price of the raw materials, and the
necessity of raising the wages of their workmen to
meet the increased cost of provisions ; otherwise
trade is more satisfactory, and the dull season
appears coming to a close. At Rouen, Lyons, and
other manufacturing towns, sales have been active,
but the high prices of silks limited the purchases in
that article. The trade with America is recovering
from its temporary slackness, and articles in de-
mand for that market have risen from 15 to 20 per
cent. Orders from England for the ensuing winter
season begin to arrive at Paris.
Advices from the silk markets in Italy and the
Levant report a further rise in prices, which has
arrested the export of raw silk to France. At
Milan business has been very active, and the finer
qualities of the raw material are much in demand,
arid all the silk manufactories are in full work. In
the provinces business is equally brisk ; IA the fair
of Linigaglia 5-50 ecus to 6-20 was the ruling
prices, and at Naples 62 to 63 carlins were paid for
11-13 qualities. At the fair of Brescia there was a
good demand, and the advance in prices at Pied-
mont was about 15 per cent. at the rate of 135
francs per kilogramme, while at Lyons the highest
price is 132 fr.

Several of the Chambers of Commerce in Prussia
have prayed for the abolition of the laws which re-
gulate the rates of interest.

Accounts from St. Potersburg mention that the
Government had decided on the formation of three
great lines of railway, viz., one from St. Peters-
burg to Warsaw, another from Moscow to Odessa,
and the third from Odessa to Warsaw.. The last
/lamed will pass by Dubno, with a branch to
Brody, and will join tho lino from Warsaw to
Odessa with that of the East of Gallicia.

The Bourse at Paris throughout last week re-
mained in a dull state, and the improvement which

previously occurred was not maintain ed. Trans-
actions, both real and speculative, are described as
having being unimportant. Among the circum-
stances which it is contended ought to influence the
market favourably, are the satisfactory harvest re•
ports, the declining prices of cereals, the encouraging
condition of the country, and the soundness of com-
merce. On the other hand, the absence of the
principal dealers who are prolonging their stay out
of town, and general indisposition to speculate,
have the effect of depressing prices and rendering
the Bourse very inactive.
The Corn market opened steadily to-day, and
Wheat was 33. to 4s. per quarter higher than on
Monday last. About half of the supply was com-
posed of the new crop in fair condition.
The dulness noticed in the English Stock Mar-
ket throughout last week continues, but the uncer-
tain state of the weather, and the further slight
advance in the corn market, have imparted heavi-
ness to the quotations, although no quotable decline
has occurred. Consols are 95k for money, and
951 for account. Exchequer Bills are dull at
11s. to 14s. premium, and the Bondi are 1008.
The New 3 per Cents. are 96 to 96k, and the Re-
duced 951 f. Bank Stock is 2171 to 2181, and
India Stock 233.
In Foreign Stocks there have been very few bar-
gains, but they are mostly at firm quotations.
Turkish 6 per Cents. remain at 1031, and the 4
per Cents. aro at 103 to 1041. Spanish 3 per
Cents. have been 241 to 25. Sardinian 5 per
Cents., 93 ; and Peruvian 3 per Cents., 58 to 59.
Dutch 2/1 per Cents. are 65. _

THE ORDER OF THE BATH.—It will be in the recollec-
Von of our readers that in the Gazette of July 10, 1855,
certain officers were named who would have been recom-
mended to her Majesty for the honours of the first,
second, and third classes of the Bath, had they sur-
vived. For the first class of the Bath the lamented Sir
la. Cathcart was the only officer so designated ; but for
the second class the list comprised the names of Rear-
A-dmiral Lowry Corry, Rear Admiral E. Boxer, Major-
General Eltcourt, and Brigadiers-General Strangways,
Adams, and Tylden. We understand that, in conside-
ration of the services of these officers, the Queen has
been pleased to direct that their widows shall be per-
naitted to assume the same style and title as they would
have enjoyed had their husbands lived to assume the
dignity of Knight Commanders of the Bath, which it was
her Majesty's intention to confer upon the,ii.—Observer.
CONGRESS OF CORN-DEALERS.—The second grand an-
nual meeting of the corn•dealers from the different parts
of France will take place this day at Dijon. The object
°ranch a congress is to arrive at an exact idea of the
total resources of the country from the present harvest ;
of the localities which will have a surplus quantity of
corn, of those which will have sufficient for their con-
sumption, and of those where there will be a deficiency.
It is by such information that persons in the corn trade
are able to form a correctestimate of the quantity which
will be required from abroad, and a knowledge of the
Points or the country to which it will be necessary to
send a supply. This was the origin of the congress of
corn merchants at Dijon last year, and the eagerness
With which the call made was responded to shows that
the excellence of the idea was fully appreciated.

THE STIII4I, LONAON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 25, Me;

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

MATRIMONIAL DIFFICULTIES.—Mary Ann Oulds, the
wife of George John ()aids, oilman, &c., Greek-street,
Soho, was charged before Mr. Beadon with assaulting
and threatening the life of her husband.
It appeared from the statement of Mr. Wakeling,
who attended for the c nnplainant, that the latter had
been married to the defendant about sixteen months,
during the whole of which period she hadbehaved in a very
bad way—getting drunk, and annoying him in thepresenee
of his customers in every possible way—threatening to
murder him and to rip him up. In order to carry this
threat into Qffoct she actually provided herself with two
formidable dagt.7,ers, one of which she had sharpened on
purpose. Mr. Oulds fortunately discovered the daggers
in time, and consequently prevented her accomplishing
her oljed. On Saturday night about 11 o'clock she
was in liquor, and exceedingly violent and quatrelsonso,
and, on being remonstrated with by her husband, she
threw a large iron weight at his head. Fearing that
she would do him some serious injury he sent for a con-
stable and gave her in charge.
Several witnesses having corroborated this statement,
the defendant, ins very excited manner, deniel the
whole of it, and said the complainant was always beating
her, and she, for her own personal safety, was obliged to
have the daggers in self-defence. When she married
him she gave him 3001., beside settling a large sum upon
her son, by her first husband, and 300/. she invested for
her own benefit. Complainant wanted that, and because
she would not let him have it he continually ill-treated
her.

M ABET NEWS.—(This Day.)

A deal of recrimination then took place between both
parties, which Mr. Beadon put a stop to by ordering de-
fendant to find bail to keep the peace towards her hus-
band.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were very
moderately supplied with wheat, in which a fair businesi
was doing at 2s to 3s per quarter more money. Barley was
firm, and th• quotations ruled high. Other grain ruled
somewhat active. •

Tho American markets come rather heavy, although the
shipments to this country were on a liberal sale. On the
continent tho demand fur grain has improved.
Very moderato supplies of home-grown produce were re-
ceived up to our market last week. The imports of foreign
were large, via., 31,237 quarters of wheat, 7,079 barley,
51,319 oats, 7 peas, 5,70 i linseed, 1,225 rapeseed, 55 sundry
seeds, 330 sacks and 5,375 barrels of flour.
The supply of English wheat to this morning's market
was unusually small. Tho majority of the now was in
good condition, and the whole was dispos©d of at an ad-
vance of per qr. upon the rates of this day so'nuight.
Tho market was largely attended by country buyers, but
the weather being dry confined thiir purchases to retail
quantities at Frivay's improvent, being 4a per quarter over
our quotations of Monday last for the lower qualities.
Baltic and Hamburg descriptions c.mtinuo to be neglected.
Barley is a free sale at fully last week's prices.
Beaus and peas Unaltered in values.
Oats are 6d per qr. dearer.
Norfolk flour brings 53s to 54s per sack, and American
barrels an advance of is to 2s.
