VISIT OF THE QUEEN TO BIRMINGHAIL—We have at
length the pleasure of informing our readers that her
Majesty has definitely promised to honour Birmingham
with her presence this year. Some time before the late
Ministry went out of office the Mayor placed himself in
communication with Lord Palmerston, with a view of
effecting this reault, and especially with reference to the
opening of Aston Park. Men Earl Derby became
Premier the subject was renewed, and yesterday the
Mayor bad the. gratification of receiving a letter from
Lord Darby, in which his lordship intimated the willing-
ness of her Majesty to:visit Birmingham and open Aston
Park. Should her Majesty's engagements permit her
to visit Birmingham in May or June, she will accede to
the wishes of the committee by inaugurating the Park in
one of these months ; should there be any hindrances at
that time, her Majesty will accede to the ishes of her
loyal subjects in Birmingham by opening the Park in
119M9 other convenient month during the summer.—
