Lady Mary West. Lord Burleigh and Sir Robed
Gunning were in the first quadrille. Dancing then corn•
menced generally, and was kept up till a late hour. Her
Majesty and the Prince retired at half-past eleven to the
supper-room, where they remained a few minutes.
On Friday morning her Majesty, Prince Albert, and
the suite left Burleigh at half-past nine o'clock, on their
return to London. Her Majesty had previously tfken
leave of the Marchioness of Exeter and the rest of the
family. The Marquis accompanied her Majesty on
horseback one gage, and then went on in his carriage to
be ready to receive her Majesty at Weedon.

As the royal party passed through the park and ronnd
that portion of St. Martin's, in Stamford, through which
their route lay, they were greeted with loud cheers by
crowds of the inhabitants who had assembled to witness
the departure.
All along the route from Stamford to Kettering the
same demonstrations of loyalty and affection were made
by the people as on her Majesty's journey down. The
triumphal arches had all remained up, and the houses
were very gaily decorated with flags, evergreens, &c.
The royal party changed horses at the same stages as
on their journey down.
At Kettering also there was a great demonstration by
the people. Here the royal party passed one of the car-
riages containing her Majesty's dressers, who had pre-
ceded her from Burleigh, but had been stopped at a short
distance from Kettering by their horses (post horses)
being so utterly worn out with fatigue as to be unable to
proceed a step further. Every horse for miles round
having been bespoken, other horses could not be ob-
tained, and it will be seen that this circumstance was the
cause subsequently of a very inconvenient delay to her
Majesty at Weedon.
At Northampton her Majesty was received by the
mayor and corporation and a procession of the town-
trades, in the same manner as on her journey down.
They preceded the royal carriages as they went at a
walking pace through the town.
At the town and station of Weedon great numbers of
people had collected. The military (47th Foot) lined
the road, and there was a guard of honour (of the 47th)
under the command of Captain Gordon. The Marquis
of Exeter, who had arrived previously, and Sir Henry
Dryden, the High Sheriff of the county, were at the
station to receive her Majesty.
At a quarter past two the approach of her Majesty
to the station was announced by the elevation of the
royal standard, and in a few minutes more the royal
party entered the station. Her Majesty and the Prince
went to their apartments. A delay was caused here by
the non-arrival of the carriage that had been stopped at
Kettering. The delay was not only a source of personal
inconvenience to the royal travellers, but it also caused
an interference with the regular passenger trains. Her
Majesty waited till a quarter to three o'clock, when she
determined to go without the carriage ; but, just at this
moment it entered the station, drawn by horses that
booked as if they would have dropped had they been
required to proceed another mile. The carriage was at
once attached to the train, and her Majesty entered her
state carriage, accompanied by the Prince. The Prince
shook hands with the Marquis of Exeter, and the train
started, amidst the cheers of the people, at five minutes
to three o'clock. The regular train had not long pre-
ceded it, so that great precaution was required. The
special train, however, came on at a rapid rate, and
reached the Camden-town station at ten minutes past
five o'clock. From here the train was backed, and
turned on the down line, and it reached the Euston
terminus at twenty minutes past five o'cicck. Her
Majesty immediately left for Padddington, escorted by
a party of the 17th Lancers.
It was stated that three children had been killed by
the falling of a scaffolding at Northampton. The accident
was not attended with those fatal consequences. The •
children are now quite well.

JULLIEN'S CONCERTS at COVENT
GARDEN THEATRE.

M. Jullien commenced his annual series of concerts
at this theatre last evening. It would be quite a
misnomer to call the concert of last evening a prome-
nade concert, for such a perfect crush was it, that
anything like promenading was a physical impossi-
bility; and it was not the area of the pit and stage
alone that was crammed —every place in every box
was occupied, and, long before the commenceMent-of
the performances, the gallery was"filled • from the
overflow of the boxes. Never, evert'" on the most
crowded Anti. Corn-law League night, have we seen
Covent-garden more crammed than it was last evening.
We do not wonder at this, for we regret to perceive
that these delightful performances are to continue for
one month only. Notwithstanding the shortness of
the season, M. Jullien has spared no expense
in fitting up the theatre. The promenade, which is
completely carpeted, is most tastefully decorated with
draperies, statues, and flowers, and in the refreshment
room at the back of the stage there is a new and ele-
gant bouffet. Among the solo performers we are
happy to recognise Kcenig, Baumann, Case, Deloffre,
Richardson, and all the favourites of last season,
while the orchestra, which is full and complete in all
its parts, is led by Tolbecque and Nadaud. Jullien, in
his selection of the programme of last evening, exhibited
his accustomed tact. There was something for every-
body. The dilettanti were delighted by the first move-
ment in Sphor's magnificent symphony, " The power
of sound," which was admirably performed ; while the
unlearned, to whom Sphor's symphony was cal
were in raptures at the original Polka and d'erou y
lisli 5.e.'45... both of which were v 0( /J,
pleased with the selections from Meyerbeer's
chi- Tirceuvre, Robert le Diable, and seemed to
vie with each other in giving expression to their
feelings of delight. This was followed by Herr
licenig's Post-horn Galop, which was, of course,
loudly encored. The solo performers of the evening
were Mr. Case on the concertina, and Richardson on
the flute, both of which were much applauded. Jul-
lien, as conductor, was of course in all his glory.
We are rejoiced to see him once more resuming his
baton of conductor on the scene of his former
triumphs, and only regret that his stay amongst us
is to be short.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.—This morning, shortly be-
fore two o'clock, considerable alarm was excited in the
neighbourhood of Finsbury-square, in consequence of
the sudden outbreak of a destructive fire upon the pre-
mises occupied by Mr. Lane, horsehair-worker, carrying
on business at No. 14, Earl-street. Police-constable

134 G first discovered the fire through seeing smoke
issuing out of the roof. An alarm having been instantly
raised, the inmates were aroused, and they managed,
after great difficulty, to effect their escape in safety. The
Brigade, parish, and West of England engines promptly
attended, and there being a good supply of water, the
firemen set to work most vigorously ; but whilst they
were pumping the engines, a messenger arrived with
intelligence of another outbreak having occurred in
Baldwin-street, City-road. As many of the engines as
could be spared were sent thither, when flames were
seen breaking through the window shutters of No. 80.
Such was the fierce nature of this conflagration, that the
residents had barely time to effect their escape. The
firemen being aided by the police and a good stream of
water, succeeded in the space of an hour in completely
extinguishing both fires. A deal of valuable property,
which was thrown into the streets, was taken charge of
by Mr. Inspector Shackell and his men. Whether or not
the sufferers were insure, we could not learn in the
excitement that prevailed.
SIGHT AND HEARING TESTIMONIALS, 39, ALEX.,
MARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY.—Major-General Sir Ho-
ward Elphinstone begs to say that the Spectacles he
has now had some time in use, have fully redeemed the
assurance of the Messrs. S. and B. Solomons as to their
excellence, and having found so much comfort and ad-
vantage from their use, far preferable to every other
kind of glasses, 13, Norfolk-street, Park-lane.—From
the Hon. George Cavendish, to Messrs. S. and B. So-
lomons, 39, Albemarle. street, Piccadilly, opposite the
York Hotel.—Gentlemen, I approve very much of the
Spectacles I purchased from you. I have made use of
glasses for many years, and never met with any to en-
able me to see equal to yours and with less inconve-
nience to my eyes. I am, yours obediently, G. Caven-
dish, Leixlip Castle, Ireland.—General Browne Clayton
feels desirous to express the comfort and advantage he
has derived, at his advanced age of 70 years, and after
two years' trial, from the use of Messrs. S. and B. Solo-
mons' Newly Invented Spectacles. Their valuable in-
ventions fully merit the patronage they have received.
Address, Adlington Hall, Lancashire.—lmproved Achro-
matic Telescopes, Opera Glasses, Microscopes, Br,e.,
of the same kind of Lenses, to surpass any ever yet in-
vented.—The Messrs. S. and B. Solomens' Invisible
Operative Voice Conductor Sound Magnifiers, for deaf
persons, give immediate relief to old standing extreme
cases of deafness.—Caution.—Messrs. S. and B. Solo-
mons, Opticians and Aurists, are not in any way con-
nected with a person of the same name in their =me-
diate neighbourhood, nor in any part of the country. To
prevent mistakes be cautious, and observe—Only to be
had at 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the
York Hotel.
BEST MEANS OF EMPLOYING AND BENEFITING THE
WORKING CLASSES.—The following remarks by Mr. M.
Phillips, who has long paid attention to the subject,
merit attention :—" This can only be effected by allow-
ing the labourers to have interest in their native soil,
restoring them to the occupancy of a little land, ena-
bling them by degrees to recover their long lost spirit of
independence, to avoid pauperism, that they may again,
ere long, become a most useful link in the chain of so-
ciety, instead of a burden. The inclosure of waste, or
in better words, common lands—the monopolising of
1 small farms—the cottage greens, plots of ground, gardens
and orchards, which have occurred during the last fifty
years, have produced the awful distress now existing
among the agricultural labourers—millions of whom have
been reduced from a state of plenty and happiness, to
misery and want."
FUNERAL OF LORD WESTERN.—The mortal re-
' mains of the late Lord Western were interred in the
vault of his ancestors, in the church of Rivenhall, on
Wednesday last. By the will, which is dated the 17th
of April last, Lord Western entails all his estates in strict
settlement on Mr. Birch Western, of Tattingstone-plaee,
Suffolk ; with remainder to his sons and brothers, suc-
cessively, and their heirs male ; with remainder to Mr.
James Western, of London' and his heirs male. Henry
C. Tuffnell, Esq., the Rev. John Page Wood, Bart., and
James Weetern, Esq., are executors and trustees. By a
codicil of September 29,r_the Noble Lord bequeaths some
pecuniary legacies, and makes various provisions for his
servants and dependents. To each of his labourers who
have been in his employ for ten years, the number of
whom are fifty, he has loft ten guineas.
