THE RIGHT HON. M. T. BAINES. —W e (Leeds
Mercury) state with extreme regret that Mr. Baines is very
seriously ill in London. On Thursday, Sir Benjatain
Brodie pronounced him to be in danger, though the danger
was not imminent nor recovery impossible ; but his state
causes the greatest apprehension to hie friends. The me-
dical report yesterday (Saturday) was, we are glad to say,
more ftvotuable than that of Thursday.
LONDON GLEE AND MADRIGAL UNION.—The
performances of the Union at the Egyptian Hall during the
past week having proved eminently successful, Mr. Mitchell,
of Bond-street, has made arrangements for a second series
of entertainments, commencing on Monday next, when the
programme will be varied. The audiences have been nu-
merous and fashionable, including many of the nobility at
present in the metropolis.
ENGLISH, SCOTTISH, AND AUSTRALIAN CHAR-
TERED BANE.—The report of this bank, to be submitted on
the 25th inst., states the available balance to be £19,160,
out of which £12,500 is recommended to be appropriated
the
a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. 1)r. annum. Of
and
balance £1,500 is to be carried to preliminary expenses
which
bank premises' accounts, and £5,160 to the reserve,
•
will then amount to £18,930.
TIIE MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.—The usual cir-
cular has been sent from the Treasury to the members of
the House of Commons sitting on the Ministerial side of
the House as follows :—" Downing,stree
t, Jan. 13, 1860.

sistent with your convenience to attend at the House of
Commons at the opening of the session.—l have the hon-
our to be, &c., PALMIZESTON." In pursuance of the orders
issued from the Lord Great Chamberlain's Office, prepara-
tions commenced on Saturday in the House of Lords for
the Queen's reception, her Majesty having signified her
royal intention to open the session in person. On Thurs-
day the issue of tickets to peeresses, the eldett sons of
peers, and others entitled to be present at the ceremony,

rations are making to place the statue of Richard Coeur de
!Lion, by Baron Marcchetti, which formed so prominent an
•cbject at the Great Exhibition of 18.51, in position, near
the entrance of the House of Lord, by the day fixed for the ,
-opening of Parliament. Her Majestywill arrive at Bucking-
ham

turning to Windsor on Tuesday, after the ceremony.
