up the demonstration with three military cheers. The
Royal suite having got into the other carriages, after
an interval, followed her Majesty, who, preceded by
outriders, had slowly driven up to the Royal residence.
Her reception was very gratifying, very quiet, but
full of sentiment and respect. From my airy and
very tarry elevation (for I was obliged to get up the
rigging of a lucky vessel alongside the quay, in order
to get a view of what passed) nothing was visible but
waving kerchiefs and hats, while the faint buzz of the
multitude with difficulty rose above the swell of the
band, which were playing cheerful polkas and waltzes
in the square. The few vessels in the harbour were
crowded with men, and one thorough-built British
coaster, rejoicing in the happy name of Prince of Wales,
threw out her dirty fig to the world, and displayed a
flaming union jack from her stern. The Royal yacht
soon afterwards hauled out into the middle of the har-
bour, below the Great Sluice, and lay alongside the
Black Eagle, the Fairy took her station a-head, the
Vivid still further down the channel, towards see,
whilst the Stromboli anchored in the offing alto-
gether. In a few minutes her Majesty arrived at her
destination, and but for a guard of honour before the
door and a few stragglers, nothing would have given
notice that anything particular was taking place in the
dull-looking mansion. A clejeiiner ri la fourchelte
was prepared for the Royal party, after partaking of
which the Queen, King Leopold, Prince Albert, and
the Royal children took a drive to the West Strids,
where they got out and walked for a little, returning
to town in about half-an -hour. The day is very fine,
but the wind is still a little sharp, though everything
promises fine weather.
Her Majesty will dine with the Bing at his house,
and Sir F. T. Baring and Lord A. Fitzclarence have
had the honour of receiving invitations to join the
royal party. The officers of the squadron, Commander
Crispin (Victoria and Albert), Master Commander
Walsh, Master Commander Cooke, Master Commander
Smithett, and Sir J. Hamilton (who was on board the
Vivid), &c., have been invited to dine, by his 111-jesty's
command, at the royal mansion also ; and printed
cards of invitation to that effect have been issued
by the principal aide-de-camp. It is affirmed that
up to the lust moment the King did not know
whether her Majesty would come on shore or not, but
it certainly seems as if preparations were made on the
supposition that she would. It is arranged that her
Majesty will stop here for the night, and will leave at
twelve o'clock to-morrow for England. lam happy
to say they had a very fine passage over here. The
• quadron left Osborne, as you most probibly
know, a little before six on Wednesday
evening. The wind was low, and the sea sm :otb,
and so they steered under easy sail, or rather at
low steam, all the night for thecoast of Belgium
skirting the shore to Dover, which they passed about
five o'clock this morning. They were seen by the
sharp-eyed sentries on the heights' and received a
royal salute es they pasted. The Royal party dine
at seven o'clock. All sorts of balls and little enter-
tainments are going on in the town, and Ostend is
retrieving its character as much as possible, and de-
porting itself with ge eat j )11ity. The military have
been under arms nearly all day, but are now dis-
missed.—Times.

A 7.‘ C E.

We read in the Evencincnt —`' S'3veral members
of the National Assembly, and two generals, old
friends of the Orleans family, left Paris this morning
for Brussc.ls, on a visit to the Prince de Joinville, who
has arrived in that city, and taken up hii residence at
the Ho-el de Sixe."

I: is confi icntly stated, says the Presse, th the
French Governmee, following the example of
En;-
land and Russia, is about to send to Copnbogen an
extraordinary envoy ; at the same time several vessels
of the Cherbourg squadron have received, it is said,
an order to hold themselves ready to sail to the Baltic.
The funeral of M. de Bala is took place on Thursday,
in presence chiefly of literary men, and of his pri-
vate friends. The corners of the pall were held by
M. Victor Hugo, M. Alexandre Dumas, M. S2.intc-
Beuve, and M. Baroche, the Minister of the Inte-
rior, who, without receiving an invitation, came to
pay a last compliment to the literary merit of the
deceased. Amongst the persons present was Ba-
ron de Rothschild. When the cortege quitted
the church of St. Philippe-du-Roule, it proceeded
along the boulevards to the cemetery cf Pere la-
Chaise. M. Victor Hugo pronounced a farewell ad-
dress over the tomb, and M. Desacyars, President of
the Society of Men of L?tters,. likewise uttered a few
words of respect and eulogy. M. de &Inc leaves no
firtune, so that Madame Eve de B.4lzac remains but
ind;fierently provided for.
The political prisoners under sentence of tr.mspor-
tation for life, and who are now confined at Doul-
lens, are, it is said, to be removed to the citadel of
Belle-Isle-en-Mer, that place having been fixed on by
a decree of the President of the 'Republic us to the
place of confinement fir prisoners under that sentence.
The Nourelliste of-Marseilles, of Tuesday, had the
following "communicated note:'—
"As s: veal journals have anfriunced, the Supreme
Board if Public Health at Naples recently rasolvcd, after
several deliberations, to impose a quarantine of 21 (lapin
aq arrivals of passenger;, merchandise, and vessels from
Mal:a, Kirseilles, and Bone. Such a measure, inspired, it
appears, by the incidents which have recently taken place
at Marseifle vv,..s calculated to cause much anxety to
commerce. We have the satisfaction of announcing on
authority of a letter from the French legation at Na-
ples, received this morning by the special commissary
of the sanitary se-vice, that this quarantine of 21 days
has been taken off, with respect to Marseilles, by a re-
solution of the Board of Health of Naplei, dated the
13th. The quarantine consequently remains a: it pre-
viously was.'

THE LEGITIMATIST CONGRESS

AT WIESBADEN.

If we are to credit the Pouvoir, the following is the
result of the political conferences hell at Wiesbaden:—
" Twenty-eight Legitimatist Deputies," it says,
" were received in a I),,dy by the Count de Ch. mh,rd,
after being individually admit!ed by the P:ince to private
andienc.s. After a conference of nerly three buns, in
which tf e situation of Frs nee was examined, analysed, and
discus Fed, it was decided-1. Th it the 14-..gitimatist party
should immediately abandon the system of conciliatior,
tusume an attitude and policy of its owe, and act
exclusively with a view to promote the triumph of
its principles. 2. That, in case it was proposed to the
National Assembly to prolong the powers of the Pr:-
stdeut, the L-gitimatists should systematically oppose
that prolongation, hecatise the measure giving the Count
de Paris time to complete his mjority, the chances and
p:e erssions of the Count de ChamLerd would thereby
be e,m6iderably diminish/A. 3. That M. Berrycr
should continue to be the cfficial and avowed chief of
the party, and that all the loyal and devoted L"gitimatists
should combat unch r his direction. (The Gazelle de
France was specially disavowed a,sd blamed, on account
of ail acrimonious tone of its polerCque.) 4:h. Finally,
Count de Chamhord declared that the report of a recon-
ciliation bateveen the two branches ef the house of
Bourbon was totally uTlyandecl; but he added, that if
the chief of the Lranch of Orleans made one step, ho
was ready to make ten."

collieries of the Sheffield coal company the amount of
copper taken was not more than about one-fourth of
what it was three years ago.
Councillor DEWSNAP said that during the last two
years the value of copper had not been more than
101. per lb., while the value in pence would be about
17d. per lb., for it took about seventeen old pennies to
weigh a pound.
Councillor LAWTON observed that it was profitable
to the Mint to coin copper, and therefore he thought
it probable that they had plenty of copper coin.
Councillor BRETTAIN said he had made no inquiry
at the Mint on the subject, but he thought that if the
inhabitants of this town did not get copper coin
enough till private parties sent for it from the Mint
at their own cost, they would not have a sufficient
supply yet awhile.
Councillor ATKIN warned the council that they
would be committing themselves to an absurdity if
they adopted the memorial, without first ascertaining
that there was not copper in the Mint. Mr. Brittain
was mistaken when he said the parties would not send
to the Mint for copper coin ; he knew of a cave in
which 251. worth of new farthings was got from the
Mint by a shopkeeper for the purpose of inducing
custom to his shop.
Councillor BUITTAIN having read his memorial, it
was carried by a large majority.—Sheffield Times.

CHARGE OF FORGERY AGAINST
AN ATTORNEY.

Oa Tuesday last considerably excitement was
caused in Preston, by the apprehension of Mr. Henry
Blackhurst, a solicitor practising in Preston, on a
charge of forging a codicil to the will of his late wife,
Mrs. Catherine Blackhurst. Mrs. Blackhurst was
t .vice married, her first husband bring Mr. Max-
well, a wealthy merchant of Glasgow, and through
him she became possessed of considerable property,
which, at the time of her marriage with Mr. Black-
hurst, 25 years ago, was settled upon herself. Mrs.
Black!ourst died on the 31st of July last, and Was in-
terred on the 31 inst., and since her death disclosures
have been made which led to the apprehension of Mr.
Blackhurst on a charge of forgsry. On Wednesday
last the prisoner was brought up for examination
before the borough magistrates. The court was
crowded to excess, Mr. Blackhurst being well-known
throughout the whole of the county. Mr. Catterall,
solicitor, prosecuted, and Mr. Segar, barrister, de-
fended. Mr. Catterall, in opening the case, said he had
a serious charge to prefer against Mr. Blackhurst---a
less thanheforgery r7e3
f forging
n a codicil to the will of
consisted in the prisoner
chargehi his la late eof
wife. no T
having, after a codicil had been made and properly at-
tested, inserted in that codicil a devise to himself. The
evidence would in a great measure consist of the do-
cument itselr, and he was afraid when the magistrates
tine to look at it that they would have no doubt that
the words which gave the property to Mr. Blackhurst
had been inserted in the codicil subsequent to its ex-
ecution by Mrs. Blackhurst. Oa the present occa-
sion the prosecutors were the bailiffs of the city of
Glasgow, and the way in which they became prosecu-
tors was by a will dated the 25th of September, 1847,
which gave to them the whole of Mrs. Blackhurst's
property in certain charitable trusts for the foundation
of a school, to be called the Maxwell School, after the
name of her late husband. The codicil which was the
subject of the present charge was dated the 3d of
June, 1850; and on that day Mr. Aseroft, the attor-
ney, and Mr. Ambler, an attorney's clerk, were at
Lisbon-hall, the residence of Mr. Blackhurst, when
they were invited by Mr. Blackhurst to attest a codi-
cil to his wife's will, which he (Mr. Blackhurst) was
then preparing. Mr. Ascreft and Mr. Ambler signed
the will, and shortly afterwards left the place.
Since the death of Mrs. Blackburn the codicil had
been produced, and f..orn its appearance he should
prove that it had been altered. Mr. Catterall then
called Mr. Ascreft, who said that he had not observed
at the time he signed the will the crowding_ cr inter-
lining which now appeared upon the first page. Had
it been there, he must have seen it. It consisted in
the insertion of the words "And, lastly, I give, de-
vise, and bequeath all my real and personal estate
and effects to my husband, his heirs and
assigns for ever absolutely." As a professional
man, had he seen any interlining he should have
placed his initials opposite to it. Oilier evidence was
called to prove the will of 1847, and also several codi-
cils to it. Two witnesses were then examined who
deposed to Mrs. Blackhurst having, previously. to her
death, stated that she was afra:d the prisoner would
put her hand to paper after she was dead, and that it
was her intention to leave the interest of her property
to her husband 'luring his lifetime, and that her real
and personal estates should afterwards go to the trus-
tees in Glasgow. The bench remanded the prisoner
till Monday next, to give time for the production of
further evidence. Bsil was refused, and the prisoner
was at once removed to the House of Correction.

DEATH OF MR...TAS SCOTT WALKER.
Not unexpectedly, but still with feelings of regra,
we have to rect.rd the devil of Mr. James Scott Walker,
who was well linewn in this town from the long period
that ho had teen cennected with the local press.
' The melancholy event took place at half-Ast five
o'clock on Wednesday morning, actor an illness of
everal sacks' duration. In the (a-1 er part of his
life Mr. Waik,r was connected with tho Liverpool
Mercury as its sub-editor, and the duties of that laburious
office he execot el with ability and discrimination. On
leaving this establishment, he started a literary periodical
of his own called the "Lancashire Museum;" and the
varied powers and acquirem.ents which he brought to
the task, together with his Ekili in enlisting the services
of eble"contributors, chtiincd fur the periodical a stand-
ing and a circulation which were deemed wonder-
ful in a town then notoriously n-glectrul of all
local efforts of a literary character. Almost every num-
ber of " The Museum" was enlivened with 301112 story,
essay, anecdote, or
gossiping article written by the
facile pen of its editor; arid some of those produc-
tions eavnindcedin
giemnuafi3n,, notati°n' humour, vigour of treat-
ment, often surpassed by writers
whose names are household words. His poetic taste
was not one cf the least remarkable of his lite-
rary endowments; and though we liked his own
poetical efforts less than his prose productions, we
must admit that eeveral of them ranged far abuse medio-
crity. In the course cf his chequered lire Mr. Walker
had visited the West Indies end South America, and a
fear-ful earthquake, which took pace during his residence
in the latter country, formed the subject of his longest,
most ambitious, and most successful poem. After the
abandonment of his local periodical, AIL Walker was for
several years tho editor of a Literal paper in Preston.
About a dezt-n years ago returned to Livrrpool, and
in the intervening period he had acted as contributor and
reporter to several local papers, but more especially to
the Liverpool Standard. With politics, however, he
rarely intermeddled during the whole of his last term of
residence in the town. Mr. Walker had not only a
literary but a mechanical. genius, and under more favour-
able circumstances his constructive faculty might
have been brought into fuller and more pro-
fitable play. In naval architecture he W4S an
enthusiastic amateur, and he had executed many

only for immediate wants at last week's rates. No

LIVERPOOL, Atm. 23 —At this morning's market
thtra was a thin attendauce of town and country dealers,
who purchased very sparingly of wheat at the full prices
of Tuesday. Flour, both sack and barrel, brought late
rates. Oats and oatmeal in limited demand,r without
change in value ; the same remark applies to barley,
beans, and peas. Indian corn met a good demand at an
advance of 61 to 13 per quarter; fine yellow being held
firmly at 27s 63 per 480Ibs.
NEWBURY, AUG. 22.—The weather during the last
two days has been wet, which has quite interrupted har-
vest operations. The previously few fine days enabled a
good deal of wheat to be secured in fine condition, and
to-day we have a considerable quantity of new wheat in
offer, which, although not so fine in qaality and condition
as last year's crop, is better than could be expected from
the blighted aspect presented in the field. The weight
varies from 60 to 641 b per bushel, but the yield is badly
spoken of. The trade to-day has been dull, at about Is
per quarter decline from last week. In spring corn but
little passing, at unaltered rates.
EXETER, AUG. 23.—Pork Carcases—A very small
supply, but as it was all of very good quality, prices
ranged high, from 8s to 83 9d per score. Cattle Market
—The supply has been small to-day, especially of Leasts,
caused probably by Crediton fair having been held en
Wednesday. Good beef sold at 7s 91 to 8s per more;
in some instances 8s 3d to 8s 6d way made fur very good
articles. Pannier—Turkeys, 5s 6d to 7s each; geese, 58
to 6s ditto; ducks, 3s 61 to 5s per couple; fowls, 2s 6d
to 4s 6d ditto; roasters, 3s 6d to 4s 63 each; butter, 9d
to 104 per Ib; ezgs, 16 to 18 for Is. Corn Exchange—
The attendance to-day has ben again small, farmers
being still busy harvesting. Prices have rather receded
the ruling figure for the best warranted old wheat has
been 6s per bushel, although a penny or twopence more
has in some cases bean obtained. New wheat has sold
at 5s 6d to 5s 9d per bushel. The quotations fur barley
must be considered nominal, at 3s to 3s 34 per bushel.
Old oat., 23 3d to 2s 5d per bushel; new ditto 2s to
2s Id ditto. The quotations for fine flour are rather
wide, ranging from 32s to 35s per sack, although we
hare heard of no actual dealings at the latter figure.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, AUG. 23. The offices have
been cleared of ell the el i drawn sugars, and every new
parcel that has been brought forward has a'so found a
Free, at gradually improving prices. The transac-
tions of the weak, including foreign, are to a large ex-
t-nt. The refined market is very lively, and higher
rates are again freely raid for all goo3s rvady for deli-
very. Rum is in fair demand.—Bristol Mercury.
BANcoa, Arc. 23.—There was a good attendance at
our market to-day. Prim were the tarn favour of
