HER MAJESTY'S REPLY.

" I receive with cordial satisfaction thiti dutiful address.
" My beloved Consort and I have accepted with pleasure your
invitation ; for I recognise the services rendered to the Crown, at
various periods of our history, by distinguished members of this
society ; and I gladly testify my respect for the profession of
the law, by which. I am aided in administering justice, and
in maintaining the prerogatives of the Crown and the rights of
ray people.

" I congratulate you on the completion of this noble edifice ; it is
worthy of the memory of your predecessors and of the station which
you occupy in connexion with the bar of England.
" I sincerely hope that learning long may flourish, and that
•irtue and talent may rise to eminence within those walls."

We are requested to state that it was Mr. Bruton,
the comic vocalist, and not Mr. Cornish, who attended at
the dinner given to Sir W. Molesworth.
THE LATE Ma. BOTELER.—Mr. Boteler had been
Recorder of Canterbury for the long period of forty-one years. He
was also Recorder of Deal, Sandwich, and Hythe ; and only twelve
mouths since was appointed to the situation of Bankrupt Comissioner
for the Leeds district. He was no less respected by all who came
hi contact with him In his judicial capacity as an uptight and lenient
judge, than by those who were associated with hits in private life.
General sympathy was manifested by the villagers for the untimely
fate of the Learned Gentlennun, many of whom even shed tears ; and,
if we nay judge from the esteem in which he was held in this city
and elsewhere in the county, some substantial mark of respect will
be evinced by which his highmindedness as a judge and his virtues
as a man may not be forgotten.—Kert is ti.Ubserver.
HARVEST IN SOUTH PEUSSIA.—A letter
from Posen informs us, that although the favourable prospects of the
early part of the year had not been fulfilled, the harvest there may
still be considered on the whole as pretty good, there not only being
a sufficiency of corn housed for home use, but also a considerable
surplus fur exportation. The letter says:—" S, ring corn has not
turned out so well as was anticipated, and we shall have only enough
for our own wants. The deficiency, however, so far as concerns
oats, will In a great measure be replaced by the universally rich
hay-crop. Oil seeds have everywhere failed. Of fruit, of all kinds,
there is the greatest abundance ; and we have cause to tear the
breaking out of cholera or other diseases attendant on over-indul-
gence in fruit. In the neighbouring •kingdom of Poland, the har-
vest is likewise about an average one, and, as here, the potato crop
is wry satisfactory, although on wet arid heavy soils there has been
a partial failure The prices of cereals throughout this part of
Prussia are high, though not excessively so."—Augsburg Gazette.
Lord Btaxiley arrived in town last evening, from Knows-
-1 ley Hall.
The chief failure in the Stock Exchange mentioned
to-day is that of Messrs. Aston and Scott. It is said that one of their
provincial connexions was the sole cause of their default. Having
always acted melee the impression that the provincial firm repre-
sented actual principals. they were, it seems, informed only on Wed-
nesday, that the whole of a very large account, with one exception
only, was for the firm itself; and that no money was forthcoming.
Their other engagements they stated that they had been prepared to
erect, but the total amount was too much. The whole of their
liabilities arc understood to be upwards of 40,000/.
SYDNEY, .1%.1EW SOUTH WALES, MAY 27.—THE
CECILIA.—This vessel arrived yesterday. quite unexpectedly, from
Pernambuco, from which place she brings about 300 torts of sugar of
very fine quality, consigned to Captain It. Towns. • She has met a
succession of contrary winds, and has been off this coast for the last
three weeks. Notwithstanding her having to call at South America,
where she discharged her London cargo and shipped another for this
port, she has quite outsailed the January packet ship, by bringing
London papers to the middle ofJanuary.--Auttra4a
ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE IN HOLBORN.--Thursday
morning about eight o'clock, the family of Mr. Tate, baker, No. 58,
High Holborn, was greatly alarmed by the discovery of their servant,
Mary Hugh, forty-five years of age, lying upon the kitchen floor,
weltering in her blood, which was still flowing from a wound she had
inflicted upon her throat with a table knife, and which extended
nearly from ear to ear. Medical aid was promptly in attendance,
and she was subsequently conveyed t* King's College Hospital, and
the wound was sewn up by Mr. Dyer, the house-surgeon, but the
heintirrhage had been se great that she at present lies in a hopeless
state. The unfortunate woman, who is a widow, has for some time
past been observed to be in a low, desponding state, but the cause
was not known.

IMM ENSE FIRE, MONTREAL.—We have been fa-
voured with the following extract from a private letter:—" Montreal,
Oct. 13, 1845.—We had a. very extensive Yu c here last week, by which
about sixty houses, excitsive of other buildings, were destroyed, all
owing to a fire catching in a small home where they had been burn-
