VISIT OF THE DUKE OF WEL-

LINGTON 30 DOVER.

DOVER, Nov. l3.—His Grace the Duke of Wellingtcn,
Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, arrived here this morning
at twelve o'clock, from Walmer Castle, and after inspecting
the exten,ive- harbour works now in progress for enlarging
the Dort, accompanied by the treasurer, Renshaw Latham,
Esq , &c., proceeded to the Harbour House, where his
Grace, assisted by the Commissioners, held the usual annual
sessions.

His Grace was received by a guard of honour of the 43d
Regiment, Colenel Rice Jones, commandant of the garrison,
and seviTal military and naval officers. The Noble Duke
was, we are happy to say, in excellent health and spirits,
and his reception was, as may be supposed, most cordial ;
indeed every person—and there was a great number of the
most respectable of the inhabitants, gentry. &c., present on
the occasion—seemed eager to testify his respect to the illus-
trious Commander- in-Chief.

The Commissioners present were, his Grace the Duke of
Weltington, Mr. Jenkinson, the Mavor (Mr. Clarke), Sir
Edward Knatchbull, Bart., Sir Brook 'Bridge, J. P. Plumptre,
Esq., M.P., William Deedes, Esq., M.P., W. 0. Hammond,
Esq , the Right Hon. and Rev. the Earl of Guilford, and
Papillon, Esq.
At the above sessions it is understood that an application
was entertained for a site of ground between the railway ter-
minus and the south pier, for the erection of a large hotel, and
which will greatly add to the convenience of the large and in-
creasing number of pasyengers via Dover and the Continent,
af'er which the annual accounts were passed, and the usual
business dispatched.
The Noble Duke, at the termination of the sessions, left for
town at half-past two this a ternoon, per South-Eastern
Railway, under the usual military salute from the redoubt at
the heights. _

The remainder of the Commissioners dined at the Ship Hotel,
and received there Mr. M'Gregor, the Chairman, and Viscount
Torrington, a Director of the South-Eastern Railway Com-
pany, who attended the Board on the subject a finishing their
Dover station.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT OSBORNE PALACE.—As one of
the men, named George Driscoll, was at work under the roof
of the new building, he overreached himself and fell down
the well staircase, a distance of fifty-two feet, fracturing his
left thigh and the back part of his head by the fall. The
surgeon to the royal household, Dr. Hollmeister, was called
in, but the poor fellow's head was so crushed that he lived
only an hour and a half. An inquest was held at eleven
o'clock this day by Mr. Sewell, coroner, and a verdict of
"Accidental death' recorded. The man was a very steady
workman, and by this accident his wife and five children are
deprived of support.
The new buildings are progressing very fast. The new
house is roofed in, the tower nearly so; it is forty feet above
the roof of the house, and must command a view of the whole
island, as it can be seen from every elevated spot on it. Not
only the tower, but the house can now be seen from West
Cowes.

Her Majesty and the Princess Royal are expected on the
20th. It is not expected that either the Prince of Wales or
the Princess Alice will be down this autumn. The new
landing-place is ready, and the steamers may now run along-
side of it, and land carriages, &c., with the greatest ease.

THE BAR AND THE PRESS.
(From the Law Times of this day.)
We have learned from an authentic source, although we
have as yet received no official,intimation of the fact, that a
meeting of all, or the greater portion, of her Majesty's coun-
sel was held on Wednesday evening, at the residence of the
Attorney-General, to take into consideration the subject-
matter of this controversy, with a view to an expression of
opinion as to the propriety or otherwise of circuit and other
reporting by members of the bar, with a view to a settlement
of the dispute one way or the other.
We are not permi'ted to state the particulars of the discus-
sion that there took place, nor the names of the parties and
the sentiments they expressed, although some of them, as
reported to us, sound passing strange after the language that
had fallen from the same lips elsewhere. We can at present
announce only the result, which was a decided expression of
opinion that there was no objection to the practice of circuit
and other reporting by members of the bar.
Although this was only the expression of an opinion, and
is not submitted as a regulation, still, proceeding from such
an authority, it cannot but be deemed decisive of the ques-
tion that has been so hotly debated. The press has thus
again proved its omnipotence, and achieved another triumph.
There cannot be a doubt, when all the circumstances are con-
sidered, and previous speeches and votes remembered, that to
the summary course adopted in suppressing the names even
of her Majesty's counsel, as well as of lesser men in their re-
ports, the newspapers are indebted for this victory.
Now, that the controversy is virtually at an end, may we
express a hope that, by observing the strictest impartiallity
themselves, and requiring it of their reporters, the daily
papers will avoid again to excite the feelings of annoyance
at undue prominence for some, and unjust suppression of
others, which were the immediate causes of a dispute which
had been a source of profound regret among those who, like
ourselves, were de,irgius of raising the respectability of the
newspapers, and preserving the high repute of our profession,
and therefore deemed that both would be benefited by an
honourable alliance, and harmed by unseemly differences.
