THE
Ehe pEre°paYraAtiZons-r t3rite receptionl'ofcoflUslt7y:
the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert at
Worsley, Salford, and Manchester have now made
great progress and. meet the eye in every direction.
The Royal party sected to reach the Patricroft
station of the Liverpool and Manchester line on the
9th inst., en route from Liverpool, between four and
five o'clock in the eveni Thence her Majesty will
pass through a long anzi ng.
elegantly draperied corridor
on the left side of the line to a semicircular pavilion
p across the
on the right bank of the Bridgewater-canal. Elegant
barges will be in waiting under the am le canopy
stretching from_the front of this building
canal, in which the Royal party, attended by the Earl
of Ellesmere, will embark and proceed to the front of
Worsley-hall. The debarkation will be under a hand-
some pagoda-like building erected for the purpose,
and carriages will there be in waiting for the Royal
visitors to convey them through the grounds to the
mansion of the Earl of Ellesmere. The brpgeeunder
which the Royal visitors will have to pass toll 7 orsley
are in course o .
f decoration, and everthing assuming
a new and gay appearance.
On Friday morning, the 10th inst., her Most
Gracious Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, with the Royal suite, leave Worsley-hall for
Manchester at ten o'clock. It is impossible to detail
the numerous preparations on the road for gratif3ing
the public with a good view of the cortege. Trium-
phal azthes, stages, &c., are rising up everywhere, and
public bodies, numbering more than 20,000 people,
inde-pendent of the indiscriminate crowds who may be
exr2ected to find their way to the fields on either side
the road, are expected to take up positions on the route.
At Pendleton a magnificent triumphal arch will stretch
across a road 30 yards wide, and a mile farther on,
near the entrance to Salford, another arch of similar
character is erecting.
The semi.octagonal building, in front of which the
authorities of Salford are to receive her Majesty in
Peel-park, is now erected and receiving its decora-
tions. It is a large, elegant, and lofty building, open
at the front, with an awning stretching over a car-
riage way, along which the Royal carriage will be
driven, so that her Majesty can receive the address
without alighting. Opposite this pavilion, in the
open park, an immense circular platform, 600 feet
long and 75 feet deep, rising like an amphitheatre
from the greensward which lines the carriage road,
will accommodate the Sunday-school children—about
80,000 in number--who are to be there to salute the
Royal party with the National Anthem. The immense
platform is nearly complete.
From the Peel-park, through Salford and Man-
chester, the route will apparently be lined with
stages and other temporary erections wherever the
nature of the ground and buildings will permit.
The owners of many of the lower buildings are
covering the roofs of them with platform accommoda-
tion, and gay banners are already fluttering in the
breeze from many windows. Triumphal arches are
rising on the Victoria-bridge, by which the Queen
enters, and on the Albert-bridge, by which she leaves
the town. In the middle of St. Ann's-square a
similar erection is rising, and some of the railway
bridges which cross the route are in course of deco-
rating. On one of them is inscribed the words
" Welcome to the Queen." Her Majesty is expected
to return to Worsley early in the afternoon. More
than 270 persons have applied for gas for public
illuminations in the evening. The proceedings are to
terminate with a public ball at the Manchester Ex-
change on the following Monday. Her Majesty will
leave Worsley Hall on Saturday, the 11th inst., for
London. Mr. Weston, and a deputation from singing
classes under his direction, have volunteered to enter-
tain her Majesty on Saturday morning, at Worsley-
hall, with a vocal matinale--the pieces to consist of
Balfe's "Lo, the early beam of morning ;" Miss
Flower's chorale, "Now pray we for our country,"
and the National Anthem, with harp accompaniments
and bells.

ANIMAL MAGNETISM:
A series of extraordinary and most interesting ex-
periments in the above mysterious science were exhi-
bited to a select audience on Thursday evening in
Hungerford Hall. The operators' name is Monsieur
Lassaigne, and the person operated upon a Madlle.
Prudence, both we believe of Parisian celebrity. The
control he has over her while in a state of somnam-
bulism is remarkable, his every thought and wish
being immediately understood and acted upon, indeed,
for about two hours she is completely subservient to
aim, not having seemingly the slightest will of her
own, and he exercising over her a kind of fascination.
A few of the experiments may be related :—To show
that a person in a state of somnambulism has an infla-
ence. on the magnetic needle, the lady when awake

placed on the table, without influencing it in the least,

or lady if ac

nnaemedbleu,iii
merely to whisper it in the ear of Monsieur, and di-
rectly she gets up and does that required of her, whe-
ther it be to dance, sing, laugh, or cry. On a glass
of water being put into her hand by a gentleman
present, the other being taken by him, and if he
firmly in his mind wishes tier to fancy it rum, whisky,
castor or cod liver oil, she no sooner tastes it than she
says it is the liquor he wishes her to believe it to be,
by a kind of " transmission of thought," to us a mys-
tery. One gentleman wished her to fancy it ink, and
after tasting it she, with a little hesitation, in cm:no-
quence of his mind having slightly wandered, did
pronounce it ink, and exhibited on her countenance
all the symptoms of having taken something nauseous.
By a species of second sight more wonderful than that
of Madame Robin, she was enabled to play several
games of cards with various parties, and invariably
came off the winner, albeit her eyes were bandaged
and a thick shawl thrown over all. The concluding
experiment of the soirée was that Mons. Lassaigne
would awaken her either in pain or grief. A medical
gentleman present requested that she might be
awakened laughing, and after a few passes by the fas-
cinating hand of the operator she came to a state of
consciousness laughing most heartily.
It is but fair to Mone. Lassaigne and Madlle. Pru-
dence to say that, although many of those present
were sceptics, and although they eagerly enough
watched to detect anything in the shape of collusion,
they could not discover anything of the sort—every-
thing was done fairly and aboveboard. Without
entering into the merits or demerits of the science, the
experiments of Thursday night must have had a ten-
dency to create a sort of belief in it. At all events
they were exceedingly interesting, and at the conclu-
sion both the lady and gentleman were very warmly
applauded by the assembled company.

THE QUARTER'S REVENUE.
(From the Observer.)
The official returns of the quarter's revenue will
made up on Friday evening next, the 10th instant.
Although not yet quite complete, enough is known
to enable us to state that the returns for the current
quarter will continue to present a most favourable
result.
In spite of all the remissions of taxation, the pre-
sent quarter will show an increase over the corre-
sponding quarter of last year.
With such a greatly diminished expenditure as the
late reductions have produced, the surplus revenue
from receipts, which, notwithstanding all reductions,
still keep up heir actual amount, promises to be even
greater in the next financial year than it has been in
the year 1850 or 1851.
There will be a falling off in the stamps of about
100,0001., which is less than the loss calculated on the
reduction of stamp duties, and which the Chancellor of
the Exchequer estimated at 500,0001. a year.
There will also be a very small comparative defi-
ciehcy in the item of taxes. All the other items are
good, and will more than cover the deficiency above
stated.
The Customs will show an actual increase over the
October quarter of last year, amounting to something
near 50,0001., notwithstanding the reductions that
have come into operation during the year in the im-
port duties upon sugar, coffee, timber, &c. ; and that,
in the quarter just ended, the is. per quarter duty
upon corn yielded less than usual.
The Excise, too, is eminently satisfactory, and will
show an increase of about the same amount as the
Customs. This is even a greater test than fhe other.
Some of the now abolished brick duties were collected
in the October quarter of last year. The increase is
chiefly observable in those articles the consumption of
which betokens a substantial accession to the comforts
of our working population.
The property and income-tax is also better, and
indicates a complete recovery from the falling-off ob-
servable in the last quarter.
The Post-office, too, will show a considerable and
substantial increase.
In fine, the finances of the country are in a most
favourable and prosperous condition in all their
features.
The returns of the Board of Trade, which were
issued on Saturday, are equally_ satisfactory and con-
clusive.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
On Saturday the receipts at the doors amounted to
2,8621. 145., the number of visitors being 29,640.
The excitement connected with the closing increases,
but the authorities do not seem to be apprehensive of
any extraordinary pressure from without. During
the last two days the return of many persons of dis-
tinction more or less connected with the Exhibition
has been noticed, and among them Lord Granville,
Vice-Chairman of the Royal Commission. The desire
to take a farewell survey of the Crystal Palace mani-
fests itself more strongly every day, and even the
habitués of the place yield to its influence. Amidst
that marvellous collection of objects new and striking
features of interest constantly reward the efforts of
patient inquiry. Even now fresh arrivals take place
the last acquisition of high merit that we have noticed
being the bust of a negro girl, executed in bronze,
with surpassing spirit and fidelity to nature. We
earnestly recommend all lovers of art to see this
really wonderful production, which they will find
placed at the entrance to the Sevres Room.

ARCTIC SEARCHING EXPEDITIONS.
We have been favoured by the Admiralty with the
following letters on this subject, in addition to those
which appeared on Saturday :
" Her Majesty's ship Resolute, off the Winter
Quarters of Captain Penny's Expedition,
Aug. 11, 1851.
" Sir,—Having this day most unexpectedly reached
your winter quarters, and also having had the satis-
faction of a personal communication with you, I now
beg leave to acquaint you, that having maturely con-
sidered the directions and extent of the search (with-
out success) that has been made by the expedition
under my charge, and weighed the opinions of the
officers when at their extremes, I have arrived at the
conclusion that the expedition under Sir John Frank-
lin did not prosecute the object of its mission to the
southward and westward of Wellington Straits.
" Under these circumstances I now await your re-
ply to my letter transmitted herewith, in order that
I may make known to you, at the earliest moment,
the plans for the future movements of this expedi-
tion.—l have, &c.,
" _

AN EASY REMEDY.—The attendant of Matthews
in his last illness intended to give his patient some medicine ;
but a few moments afterwards it was found that the medi-
cine was nothing but ink, which had been taken from the
phial by mistake, and his friend exclaimed, " Good heavens,
Matthews, I have given you ink!" " Never mind, my boy
—never mind," said Matthews, faintly, " I'll swallow a bit
of blotting-paper."
DEATH OF LORD BOLINGBROKE.--We regret to
announce the death of the Right Hon. Henry St. John, Vis-
count Bolingbroke and Baron St. John of Lydiard Tregooze,
in Wiltshire. Lord Bolingbroke has been in the habit of
spending a portion of almost every season in the north for
many years. This year he took his accustomed trip, in his
nsual health; but while spending a few days in Sutherland-
shire, he had a severe attack, which seriously affected the
nervous system. Ile was ultimately conveyed to North
College,lElgin, the residence of his daughter, the Hon. Mrs.
Shaw. Ile had but partially recovered, when he had a se-
cond attack, which completely prostrated him, and from
which he never fully rallied ; and on Wednesday, the Ist
instant, he breathed his last. Lord Bolingbroke was the
fifth viscount of that name. He was born on the 6th of
March, 1786, and was consequently 65 years of age. He
succeeded to the peerage on the death of his father in 1824,
and is himself succeeded by his son, Henry St. John, now
s
Viscount Bolingbroke, who is in his 31st year. Hi_Fep,n

" Sir,—Having this day most unexpectedly reached
your winter quarters, and also having had the satis-
faction of a personal communication with you, I feel
it incumbent (previous to making known to you my
determination as to the further movements of the ex-
pedition under my orders) to request that you will
be pleased to acquaint me, whether you consider that
the search of the Wellington Strait, made by the ex-
pedition under your charge, is so far satisfactory as
to render a furtber prosecution in that direction, if
practicable, unnecessary.—I have, &c.,

An accident occurred last week to the Marquis
and Marchioness of Londonderry whilst driving in the
vicinity of Garron Tower. The coachman had omitted to
put on the drag down a deep pitch on the road, and hence
the carriage—an open one—was overturned on a small
bridge and battlement, horses, carriage, and all, into a deep
ravine, with a stream at the bottom. Fortunately the
vehicle was arrested by trunks of trees on the near append-
ing bank, and the horses were stopped lower down, on the
sicle of the bank. Workmen happily being at hand, Lady
Londonderry was taken out of the carriage, which it was
necessary to cut into, the top and sides of the landeau being
undermost. Her Ladyship was cruelly bruised and very
much alarmed. Lord Londonderry, who fell upon her Lady-
ship, was in no degree hurt, and was safely pulled from the

ISLE OF WIGHT COUNTY REGISTRATION.
The Liberals have been considerable gainers in the
Barrister's Court up to this day. Of 33 objections they
succeeded in 24, while the Tories established only 12
out of 24. There are a few cases still undecided, out of
which the Liberals calculate on a further majority. The
royal isle may therefore be considered safe; indeed, the
Tories will now hardly attempt to dispute the grounds.
The Liberals of the borough of Newport have been
equally successful.
