HER. MAJESTY.

Her Majesty left Glenfiddich on Friday shortly
after ten o'clock, and arrived at Dufftown 10
minutes before eleven. Though the loyal people of
Dufftown hai but very short notice of her
Majesty's intention of returning to Balmoral on
Friday, the arrangements and tasteful decorations
in honour of the auspicious occasion did them
much credit, and no effort 'seems to have been
spared to give such a welcome to her Majesty as
the circuaistan::es would permit. On arriving at
Fife Mills the reins were drawn, and the open
carriage in which the royal visitor was seated
moved slowly up the ascent to the town.
Her Majesty was accompanied by the Princess
Louise, Lady Churchill, and Sir Thomas Biddulph.
Mr. Thomson, Fife Mills, had two flags waving, one
on his dwelling house and one on the mills, the
latter having the inscriptions " Welcome Victoria"
and " God save the Queen." As the royal carriage
passed along Fife-street flags were waving on several
of the houses. Stretching across Fife-street was a
triumphal arch, supported by two fir trees newly
cut from the wood, in the centre of which was the
royal standard beautifully formed of flowers and
evergreens, and on the top a flag was waving with
the words, " Welcome to the North, our nobly
Queen." Here the Dufftown band were stationed,
and while her Majesty was passing played " God
save the Queen." The whole of the streets through
which her Majesty passed were lined with specta-
tors, and ou the Square an immense crowd was
collected. During her Majesty's progress through
Fife-street, the Square, and Conval-street, the in-
habitants of Dufftown and those from the country
evinced their loyalty to their Queen by vociferous
cheering and waving of handkerchiefs, which her
Majesty repeatedly acknowledged in her usual gra-
cious manner. Her Majesty's route to Balmoral
was through Glenrinnes, Glenlivet, Tomintoul by
Castle of Congarff, and Gardenshiel, the shooting
lodge of the Prince of Wales. Her Majesty's own
horses met her at Toruahash, about 14 miles from
Balmoral, where she arrived on Friday night.
On Wednesday afternoon Prince Arthur went to
Loch Muick and had a most successful day's sport,
having caught a large number of trout. On Thurs-
day Prince Christian and others went out deer
stalking around Lochuagar, and got fair sport.
The day was one of the finest that has been this
season. Princess Christian, accompanied by Prin-
cess Beatrice, went out and met Prince Christian
and party returning from the forest, and all reached
Balmoral late in the evening. The servants of the
Castle, down to the stablemen, having got permis-
sion, went out to pie-nic, tempted by the fine
weather, and Balmoral was deserted by all save a
few domestics. During her Majesty's journey across
the hills to Doonside on Tuesday the luggage car-
riage proved to be too heavily laden for the gale of
wind, and broke down on the way. Another
carriage and horses were speedily ordered from
Ballater, but of course arrived too late for her
Majesty's use that night.

NEWMARKET.

Yesterday (Monday) morning M. Dawson took
Honesty on to the race-course, and gave him a
steady gallop over the Cesarewitch course. The
principal part of the business, however, was going
forward on the Litnekilus, where Blinkhoolie went
a two-mile gallop with Rama and Target, going
very well indeed. Lothario was also striding along
the same distance with Dalesman. Ilippia, King
Alfred, and Restitution sweated ;. and Jasper led
Suffolk a gool gallop. Jennings gave Montgou-
bert a long gallop by himself. Jos. Dawson did the
same with Miss Harriette, Guy of Warwick, and
.Nu:na Pompilius, many more from the stable being
busy.

THE REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE.
Mr. MILL gave notice that ho would draw the attention

THE PARIS EXHIBITION.

Mr. AKROYD asked the Secretary to the Treasury if
his attention had been called to the very incomplete state
in which the British portion of the Paris Exhibition was
now placed; and whether be intended to have it com-
pleted in a manner worthy of the commercial dignity and
importance of this country.

LtOPE said before the question was answered be

should like to know whether the sum of £116,000 which
had been voted for expenses would be exceeded or not.
Mr. HUNT said the question of the hon. gentleman
seemed to imply that the Secretary of the Treasury
had the direction of the works in Paris. Such
was not the case, but he had made inquiry, and
he had received a communication from the executive com-
mission of the Royal Commissioner, which stated that the
present state of the British portion of the Exhibition was
in consequence of the work not being done. (Hear, and
laughter.) It was, however, in progress, and would be
finished by the first of April. (Laughter.) Tie had
since that communication received additional information,
which stated that the British portion of the Exhibition was
much more advanced than that of other countries.
Mr. CRAWFORD asked the name of the Executive
Commissioner.

Mr. HUNT said the document was signed "Richard
Thompson." (Laugh te r.)

REFORNI BILL FOR SCOTLAND.

Colonel SYKES asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether it was the purpose of the Government to bring
before the house this session a Reform Bill for the repre-
sentation of Scotland ; if so, whether the principles of re-
presentation to be adopted in the Reform Bill for England
and Wales would be applied to Scotland ; and whether any
attempt would be made, to a greater or less extent, to ad-
just the number of representatives in Scotland to the
present wealth and population of the country ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was
the intention of the Government to introduce a bill for
Scotland, but at that moment he could not state the exact
period at which it would be brought forward. The prin-
ciples would be the same as those embodied in the English
bill—(hear, hear) -with such alterations as the different
laws of the two countries rendered necessary. With respect
to the other part of the inquiry as to whether there was an
intention to increase the representation in Scotland, all he
could say at that moment was that the matter was under
consideration, and the subject would be decided upon its
merits.

HYDE PARK.

➢ir. LUSK asked the First Commissioner of Works
if ho thought it desirable to continue the elaborate horti-
cultural embellishment of the Park-lane side of Hyde-
park at considerable public expense, while the Bayswater
side and Kensington-gardens were, in the same respect,
comparatively neglected.
Mr. DYOb NICHOL, before the question was answered
shouldl like to know whether there was any intention to
expedite the work of replacing the rails in front of Hyde
Park, and whether it was.true that the contract price for
those railings was £lO,OOO.
Lord JOHN MANNERS said he had to answer the
question of the hon. member fur Finsbury in the
affirmative. With respect to that of the other hon.
member, he had to inform him that contractors might be
induced to hurry on the work by extra payments being
made to them, but considering by whom the railings were
thrown down, he did not feel disposed to recommend the
house to vote any money for such a purpose. With re-
spect to the amount named by the hon. member as the cost
of the railings, nothing could be more incorrect. •
THE DISTRESS AT EAST LONDON.

In reply to Mr. WEGUELIN,
Sir J. PAKINGTON said that question related to mat-
ters which occurred before ho held the present appoint-
ment. To give employment to a large number of unem-
ployed in the east of London a communication was made
from the Treasury to the War Office, and a contract for
1,000 tons of iron was entered into. The tender
of the company named was tholowest sent in, and therefore
it was accepted, and it was being executed in every way
satisfactory. There, of course, would bo no objection to
lay a copy of the contract on the table of the house. Mr.
Hughes had never held out the inducement mentioned by
the hon. gentleman, but ho had made the remark that if
another order was given it would have the effect of relieving
and assisting the families of over 1,000 persons. He had
every reason to believe that the company were quite able
to fulfill all the requirements of the contract.
Mr. GLADSTONE said if ho understood the right hon.
baronet correctly he had said the Treasury had wade a
communication to the War-office, he should like to know
whether there would b 3 any objectionlo lay a copy of the
communication on the table.

Sir J. PAKINGTON said strong representations were
made—no direct communication to place it took to the
.form of a suggestion.
Col. SYKKES would very much like to know what the
1,000 tons of iron was required ?

DISGRACEFUL ASSAULT UPON A TATERN-REEPER.
James Arthur, a respectable-looking young man, was
charged with assaulting Mr. Edward Stanton Meyrick,
the aged proprietor of the Orange Tavern, Queen-street,
Piinlico.

Mr. Moyrick, who is about 70 years of ago, stated that
defendant came into his house shortly before the time of
closing and asked fur a little gin-and-water, with which
he was served. Full time having boon given him to
drink it ho was told that complainant wanted to go to bed,
and requested to finish his grog, which he refused to do.
More time was given him, as complainant' did not
wish any disturbance, and then ho was again asked
to go, but refused, and complainant returned him
his money, and took back what was left of the two
pennyworth of gin-aud-water. Ife was entreated
again and again to leave, and every forbearance was
shown, and as ho would not go he was put out. This
ceremony was absolutely performed three times, and then
while complainant was standing quietly at his door" de-
fendant came up and gave him a black eye. The defendant
appeared to be sober.
Mr. Meyrick's son said he and the barman put defendant
out, 'when ho turned round and committed the unmanly
assault described upon his aged father.
Defendant said he was very sorry, and he had had
something to drink.
The constable said that he did not exhibit any of the
usual appearances of intoxication.
Mr. Arnold said he must pay a fine of 50s. or be com-
mitted for a month.

THE WATERFORD ELECTION.

Mr. LAWSON asked the Attorney-General for Ireland
whether he had taken any stops to investigate the two
cases of homicide which occurred at Dungarvan, and
which formed the subject of the coroner's inquests held
there ; and whether his attention had been called to the
observations of Mr. Justice O'Hagan to the Grand Jury of
Waterford upon that subject ?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said
steps had been taken, and by his direction matters were
now in progress to ascertain if possible the names of the
military who made the charge during the late election for
Waterford, in order that the whole subject might undergo
investigation. With respect to the other subject men-
tioned notice had been taken of the matter to which he
referred.

GREENWICH HOSPITAL.

Sir C. BRIGHT asked the Secretary to the Ad-
miralty if, as a portion of Greenwich Hospital
had been granted to the Seamen's Hospital Society for
seamen of the mercantile marine, the Government would
also grant a portion of the unoccupied space upon the same
conditions, for a public hospital for the reception of sick
and diseased persons belonging to the borough of Green-
wich ?

Mr. DU CANE said a portion of the hospital had been
granted to the Seamen's Hospital Society with the reser-
vation that in the event of the requirements made by one
or other circumstance Government should be at liberty to
resume possession. If a portion of the hospital was given
for Greenwich, it would be quite at variance with the in-
tention of the founder of the institution.
CHAIN CABLES.

Mr. LAIRD asked the Secretary to the Admiralty whe-
ther, as all the chain cables and anchors manufactured
in the country were required, by the act of
1864, to be tested by the Admiralty standard,
the Board had terminated, or intended to ter-
minate, the contract between the Admiralty and Messrs.
Brown, Lennox, and Co., and to open up to the competi-
tion of respectable makers the future supply of chain cables
and anchors for her Majesty's service.
Lord 11. LENNOX said notice of the intention of the
Government bad been given not to renew the contract
with Messrs. Brown, Lennox, and Co.

THE WATERFORD ELECTION.

Mr. LAWSON asked the Attorney-General for Ireland
whether he had taken any steps to investigate the two
cases of homicide which occurred at Dungarvan, and
which formed the subject of the coroner's inquests held
there ; and whether his attention had been called to the
observations of Mr. Justice O'llagan to the Grand Jury of
Waterford upon that subject ?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said
steps had been taken, and by his direction matters were
now in progress to ascertain if possible the names of the
military who mado the charge during the late election for
Waterford, in order that the whole subject might undergo
intestigation. With respect to the other subject men-
tioned notice had been taken of the matter to which he
referred.

satisfied with the manner in which the debate was
carried on last night on this important matter, and
we think that the Government have done wisely
and well in their determination regarding the
changes and alterations that have been made in the
matter.

The public will learn with feelings of great re-
joicing that the Princess of WALES iS improving,
although her complete recovery must necessarily be
slow. For some days past most alarming rumours
have been afloat respecting the state of her Royal
Highness, but happily they appear to have been
devoid of foundation. The bulletin issued yester-
day afternoon stated that no " important change"
had taken place since the last one was issued, and
that the " inflammation of the knee-joint, though
still causing pain and interrupting sleep, is slowly
diminishing." More explicit details are furnished by
the Lancet, which also tend to reassure those who
have felt doubtful as to the result of the attack from
which her Royal Highness has suffered. It is ex-
pected that in a short time she will be able to leave
her bed, and though it is expected that she will have
to submit to some mechanical support for some
time, it is, of course, a secondary consideration to
her recovery from the more immediate danger. The
Queen of DENMARK'S visit has added, of course, to
the unfavourable impression produced in
the minds of people, but it does not follow

from this that the illustrious patient is
seriously ill, because her unnatisfactory state
of health itself is sufficient to render her mother
anxious to see her. Of one thing we are certain,

that everywhere the news of her more promising
condition will be received with satisfaction. No
one could possibly have rendered themselves more
popular than this Royal lady has done, and from
the time of her coming among us as a stranger to
the present time nothing has occurred to change
the enthusiasm with which she was greeted on her
first arrival. The Prince and Princess of WALES
have been general favourites everywhere, and it
will be a consolation to them to know, in this their
first trial of their married life, that the sympathy of
the nation is theirs, and that those who rejoiced in
their joy now mourn in their sorrow, and that the
prayers of the people of England will not be want-
ing to solicit from the Giver of all Goodness that
the young Princess may speedily be restored to
health and strength, and long be spared to her
family and to her adopted country which has so
warmly welcomed her.

JAMAICA.

Mr. BUXTON gave notice that his intention of calling
attention to punishment that had been inflicted on some
persons in Jamaica, with a view of determining whether
some of them might not be commuted.
TRANSPORTATION TO WESTERN AUSTRALIA.

In reply to Mr. limnßum,
Mr. GILPIN said, as it was certain the time was ap-
proaching when capital punishment would be abolished,
it was of the highest importance that it should be known
that the precise sentence inflicted on the offender by the
judge would certainly be carried out without any remis-
sion.
Mr. CHAMBERS said it would be a most fatal step if
all hope of remission of sentence was to be abandoned,
however good the conduct of the convict might be. If
hope was shut out of a prison it would become u hell, and
the lives of the warders would be constantly in danger.
Mr. WALPOLE said that the shortest ti ne in which
application for remission of a life sentence was 20 years
transportation, which he considered a very terrible punish-
ment- Ail transportation to Australia would cease in a
very few months, and the question that naturally
presented itself was, what was to be done with those
on whom transportation would have been inflicted. He
had considered the matter very fully, and it appeared to
him that some place should be found near the United
Kingdom where the worst crass of offenders should be sent
to undergo the most severe punishment. Ho agreed that
all hope must not ba destroyed, because if that were done
it would totally destroy the object of punishment,
viz., the reformation of the offender. The matter was
under the most sat-ions consideration of the Government,
and when a final determination was come to it would at
once bo communicated to the house.
