The Queen, Prince Leopold, and• Princesses
Louise and Beatrice, left Windsor at half-past eleven by
special train, under charge of Messrs. Tyrrell and Hig-
gins, for Buckingham Palace. The royal party arrived
in London at 12.8.

The Lord-Advocate is to be entertained at St.
James's Hall on the 10th of April by his constituents resi-
dent in London and his political friends and supporters
generally. The Duke of Argyll has engaged to preside.
Mr. Holman Hunt has been elected to the
Society of Painters in Water-Colours. That Association
waived, in favour of this distinguished artist, the usual
course of electing members, and received him at once.
Letters from St. Petersburg state that Madame
Patti's success has surpassed all expectation. Signor
Mario has been disabled by illness from singing much.
It was but the other day we regretted the unac-
countable absence from its columns of the American cor-
respondent of the Standard. We do not know whether up
to the last Mr. L. Alvin Hunt, late night editor of the World,
continued to furnish it, but we fear that his silence
is accounted for by an illness so serious as to have
ended in his death, which occurred on the 21th Feb., at
Unaoilla, Otsego county. Mr. Hunt was born in Jefferson
county, N.Y., and was 28 years old. He was originally a com-
positor, and commenced an editorial career on the Argus of
New York. When the World and Argus were consolidated
Mr. Hunt accepted a position on the new journal, and
rose very rapidly. He was a brilliant writer.
.After fill-
ing the night editor's position four years, he resigned on
account of ill health. For many years he was the New
York correspondent of the London Morning Herald and
the Standard.—The Rev. John F. Hickey, the old
in est Ro-
man Catholic priest in the United States, diedßalti-
more, on the 25th February. He was born in 1788, and
entered the priesthood in 1814. He was a brother of the
late Colonel William Hickey Secretary, for many years,
of the United States Senate.' A surviving brother, James
D. Hickey, still resides at Ernmittsbur,s. One of his
sisters was married to the late John C. Fitzpatrick,
.of
Washington. Another (Sister Mary) is a Sister of Charity
in New York. The scene at the death-bed of the loved
and venerable priest is represented to have been of the
most affecting character. The Hon. Murray M'Counell
was murdered in his office at Jacksonville, Illinois, at ten
o'clock on the morning of the ttth Feb. In his usual
health he was about to leave for Springfield, and had been
but a moment before at his front gate observing Tom
Thumb's chariot and ponies. His wife and a servant girl
were in another part of the house, when, hearing a noise
as of the slamming of a door, they wont to ascertain the
cause, and found him lying on his face on the floor. His
skull was fearfully fractured, but no trace of the in-
strument by which it was done was found. His son,
Major M.‘Connell, hastened to the house, and found him
bleeding at the nose and eyes, and quits unconscious,
in which state he expired. His person had not been
robbed, but a note lately dne, and known to be unpaid,
was missing. As its payor, Mr. A. Robinson, had called
that morning, a warrant was issued for his arrest, and the
coroner's jdry found him guilty of the murder. The de-
ceased, who was a successful lawyer, was 72 years of ago.
He was a participant in the Black Hawk war, and shortly
after was elected Representative in the Legislature. From
1864 to 1868 be was a member of the Senate of Illinois.
Under Buchanan he held the office of Fifth Auditor of the
Treasury. Probably Gen. M'Connell was better acquainted
with the early history of Illinois than any man who suc-
ceeded him having entered the State as early as 1815. It
is much to be regretted that he has not prepared a book on
the early settlement of the West, which he bad been re-
quested to do. He had amassed a fortune approaching a
million of dollars, aside from his claims to $4,000,000
worth of property in. Chicago. .
The remains of John Wilkes Booth were con-
veyed as secretly as possible to Baltimore, where they
arrived on the 16th Feb., in a plain pine box, two Govern-
ment blankets, which were cut to pieces for souvenirs,
being wrapped about the person. The original box,
which was much decayed, having been rotted by damp-
ness, was exchanged for a plain coffin, and this for a fine
metallic coffin. There was but little of the remains left,
the flesh having all disappeared, leaving nought but
mass of blackened bones. Upon one foot was an old army
shoe, and upon the other a boot cut open upon the top.
This covered the left foot, the leg having been broken in
his leap from the stage-box of the theatre after he had
assassinated President Lincoln. The remsinder of his dress
consisted of a rough brown coat, black pants and vest, all
of which were rotten and decayed. The hair all remained.
During the afternoon hundreds of people visited the place,
and some were allowed to view the remains. Mrs. Booth,
and her sons Edwin Booth and Junius Brutus booth, ar-
rived on the 17th February, when the body was to be de-
posited in a vault at the Government Cemetery, and in a
few days after secretly interred, in the presence of the fa-
mily, at Baltimore Cemetery, beside the remains of Junius
Brutus Booth, the senior. During the time that Booth's re-
mains were disinterred at the arsenal those of Atzerodt
were also taken up, placed in a handsome coffin, and in-
terred at Glenwood Cemetery, north of Washington. Ha-
rold's body was also dug up, but Payne's had not as yet
been removed.

The Convention of the American Social Science
Association met at Albany, and interesting addresses were
given by the Hon. J. S. Gould, G. F. Brace, Horace Gree-
ley, Charles F. Adams, and others.
The Hudson River is now open to West Point.
It is proposed to bring the remains of William
Penn to America, from their resting-place in England.
