the Crush-room of the Opera-house to the Royal
box.

which will be placed in the centre of the house,
the curtain will rise and the National Anthem will
be sung. The opera, Auber's " Masaniello," will
then commence.

Share,

The presence of his Imperial Majesty the Sultan,
with the Imperial Princes, and surrounded by his
brilliant suite, and also by the officers of her Ma-
jesty's household, together with his Royal Highness
the Prince of Waies and suite, will form a coup d'sreil
of surpassing interest. The galleries, as well as the
lateral aisles of the Floral-hall are to be set apart
for spectators, the aisle being separated from the
centre of the hall by low banks of planks and
flowers.

To-day our foreign friends visited the City of
London, where they were entertained in the most
sumptuous manner by the Lord Mayor. The at-
tention of our foreign visitors was riveted by the
crowds of persons who assembled to greet them on
their marc'i, and altogether a scene—not, how-
ever, without some confusion—of the most ani-
mated description presented itself. Fleet-
street, St. Paul's Churchyard, and Cheapside were
thronged to such au extent that all business pur-
poses were almost entirely put a stop to ; but, not-
withstanding this temporary inconvenience, the
citizens generally showed their appreciation of the
visit by the display of thousands of banners and
flags from their windows and house tops, the Belgian
colours, of course, preponderating over all the rest.
The Belgians seemed in eestacies with their recep-
tion, and returned the salutations they received
with the greatest enthusiasm.

POLICE INTELLTGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-SI AEET.

PICKPOCKETS AND THE BELGIAN VOLUNTEERS. —T wo
fellows, named Joseph Doughty and henry Marsden, were
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with loitering in Coventry-
street, for the purpose of committing a felony.
After some evidence had been given,
Mr. Tyrwhitt said that everybody acquainted with the
police courts must be aware of the fact that as soon as a body
of foreigners arrived they wore followed and hunted about
by a parcel of the lowest fellows. It was a disgrace that
the Volunteers could not be here more than a fow hours
before they were set upon by such fellows as the pri-
soners. That was the reception they met with on their
arriving here. Ile should commit the prisoners for three
Months each, with hard labour.
