OPENING OF THR MIDDLE TEMPLE

LIBRARY.

The usually silent courts of the Middle Temple
are quite alive just now with the hum of preparation
for the ceremonial which is to take place on Thurs-
day next. How briefs find their way through the
confusion to their rightful owners it is difficult to
say, and but that term is so near at hand, one would
almost think that all business was at a standstill.
But though much still remains to be done, the work
is pressed forward with such vigour that everything
will be ready by to-night. The Benchers are
sparing neither trouble nor expense to do proper
honour to the occasion, and to accommodate all who
have claims to be present. The demand for tickets
has been much greater than was anticipated, for
members of the society are coming up from all parts
of the country, and as tie Hall, spacious as are its
proportions, would not contain a third of the ex-
pected company, the whole area of Fountain-court
has been included in a handsome pavilion, which
ought to accommodate pretty nearly 500 guests. In
the small garden round the fountain arcades of ever-
greens and other floral decorations have been raised,
and when illuminated by the lime light it will no
doubt be a much frequented promenade at the even-
ing conversazione. New arrangements have been
made, too, for lighting the interior of the hall,
which will show off the fine oak ceiling and panel-
ling to the greatest advantage. The Library is
pretty nearly finished; the workmen are just
giving the last touches to the staircase and the
heraldic designs outside ; while inside the books are
in their places, and all is ready for opening. Ac-
cording to the published programme, when the
Prince arrives at 2 o'clock he will be first conducted

to the Parliament Chamber, which occupies the site
of the old Library, where he will be called to the
bar and elected a Bencher, and hence the Benchers,
with their illustrious brother, will go in procession
to the Library, and open it due form. The terrace
from the Hall to the Library has been covered in
by an awning, which seems an unnecessary precau-
tion, particularly as it will rob many people of the
only chance they would have of catching a glimpse
of his Royal Highness from the windows of the
chambers of Garden court. The distance is short,
and the side space limited, so that a very small pro-
portion of the company will be able to get places
along the line, and the awning will cut off all view
from above. In the Library an address will be pre-
sented to the Prince, after which there will be a
short service in the Temple Church, for which a
special form of prayer has been drawn up by the
Master. The dejeuner in the Hall and Pavilion
follows, and at 6 o'clock there will be a conversa-

zione in the new Library. A guard of honour of
80 rank and file Inns of Court Volunteers will be
on duty to receive his Royal Highness.

THIS DAY'S AIARA.ETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of English wheat to this morning's market
was moderately good, and the inquiry, both for red and
white qualities, ruled inactive, at Monday's decline in the
quotations.

"With foreign wheat we were fairly supplied. Importers
generally were disinclined to submit to any reduction in
prices, and the amount of business transacted was much
restricted, at about former rates.

Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, and
no change took place in their value.

The show of barley was limited, and the trade ruled firm,
at very full prices.

The demand for malt was mostly confined to new quail-
ies, at late rates.

Oats moved off heavily, and in some instances the cur-
rencies were rather lower.

Beaus and peas were firm, and fully as dear as on Mon-
day.

The flour trade was inactive, at Monday's quotations.

MR. COBDEN, M.P.—We regret to learn that
this gentleman is still troubled by the bronchial affection
from which he suffered last winter, and that he contem-
plates the possibility of having to spend some of the winter
months in a warmer climate. He has been obliged in con-
sequence to decline invitations to public meetings.—Leeds

THE REFORM CONFERENCE AT LEEDS.—The
programme of this conference has been issued. From tho
number of delegates that will be sent from various reform
associations, and from the names of the eminent reformers
who have promised to attend the conference, the proceed-
ings cannot fail to be of great interest, and its promoters
appear to have arranged the programme with a steady view
towards practical results. The days appointed for holding
the conference are the IBth and 19th November.
THE YELVERTON MARRIAGE CASE.—Yesterday,
at the Palatine Hotel, Manchester, Mr. John Cay, the
sheriff of Linlithgow, acting as commissioner from the
Scottish Court of Session, heard evidence in the suit now

witnesses resident in Manchester, viz., Thomas Burton,
Richard Stephenson, Thomas Daniel, and Geo. Campbell,
sen., are held to be requisite, and, as the Scottish Court
cannot order the attendance of these persons in Edinburgh,
an order was obtained last week from Mr. Baron Martin,
in London, for their examination before Mr. Cay, at Man-
chester. Mr. J. Millar, advocate, and Mr. P. Adam, soli-

cit)r, were present for Major Yelverton; and Mr. D. B.
Hope, advocate, appeared for Mrs. Yelverton. 'lhe pro-
ceedings lasts d several hours, and were, as usual, conducted
privately. It has been freely conjectured that the testimony
elicited would have reference to circumstances connected
with Mrs. Yelverton's life before her marriage, and which
is said to have been passed chiefly in the neighbourhood of
Manchester ; but all suppositions as to matters not stated
in an open court are likely enough to be deceptive and in-
jurious.

THE BIR➢IINGHAM CHARITIES.—The annual cus-
tom at Birmingham of collecting, on a particular Sunday,
after service, at every church and chapel in the town and
locality, for the charitable institutions of the town, took
place last Sunday. Dr. Miller, as rector of the parish, pub.
lished a stirring, appeal generally. The result was a liberal
dole from all sections of religionists, the amount ascertained

From Peru we learn that at Tacna the elections
for the new president were carried on with great
warmth, the government candidate being Gen. San
Ramon, and that of the opposition, Dr. Don Manuel
del Mar. Business was very dull in Tacna. The
arrivals in Arica were the Phaeton from Liverpool,
and Avelina from Hamburg. Castilla was so enraged
with the opposition given by the officers of the
navy and other officials to the illegal expulsion of
General Echinique, that he has, we learn, turned
them all out of office who refuse to aid him.
CALLAO, SEPT. 29.

The general quietude which has prevailed for the
last 15 days in Lima and Callao seems portentous
of a storm. On the 15th of next month the election
for President and Vice-President takes place. There
are numerous candidates for the Presidency, among
the most prominent of whom are Gen. San Ramon,
who has charge of the Southern forces, and Gen.
Echinique, who is now banished.
