THE COURT.
WALMER, PRIDAY.—To-morrow morning, at seven
o'clock, her Majesty and the Prince, with the Royal
children, will take their departure for Windsor.
Several of the suite will -return to town by Wool-
wich, in the Government steamer.
Her Majesty has received much benefit by her so-
journ at Walmer Castle ; and, with the exception of a
slight cold, occasioned by walking out during the late
boisterous weather, is enjoying excellent health.
It is but due to the good sense of the inhabitants
of this place to observe that, however anxious they
may have been to catch a glance of their Sovereign,
they have exhibited the most respectful diffidence by
suffering her Majesty and the Prince to enjoy the
privacy of their walks uninterrupted by the vulgar
gaze of impertinent curiosity.
Her Majesty has been most graciously pleased to
command that the sum of 1001. be transmitted to the
Mayor of Deal, to be distributed among the charities
of that town, in such proportions as the Mayor, with
the advice of Rector, may consider their respective
unds to require.

DEPARTURE FROM TOWN FOR WINDSOR

CASTLE.

In consequence of the announcement in the daily
papers that her Majesty and her illustrious consort
would, immediately on their reaching the metropolis
from Walmer Castle, proceed by the Great Western
Railway, the terminus at Paddington was from an
early hour in the forenoon besieged by well-dressed
persona anxious to obtain admission to view the de-
parture of the Royal party; but all were, to their
great disappointment, answered that no one could be
admitted without an order from a Director or one of
the officers of the Company.
C. Russell, Esq., M.P., the Chairman, with Charles
Saunders, Esq., one of the Secretaries, and Seymour
Clark, Esq., the Superintendent of the Line, were
early in attendance, inspecting the preparations
within the terminus for the reception of her
Majesty, which rather differed from the previous oc-
casions. Instead of a temporary platform placed for
the accommodation of her Majesty on the side of the
down line, where there is no waiting-room or accom-
modation for the Royal travellers, the train started
from the spacious platform abutting on the up-line, at
the west-end of which a large and elegantly furnished
waiting-room, &c., has for some time been erected.
At the west •end of the platform leading from the car-
riage-way to the train, and also to the entrance to the
waiting-room, a splendid crimson Brussels carpet was
laid. It was arranged that the engine should not be
attached to the train until after the Queen' and Prince
Albert were seated in the Royal saloon carriage.
At ten minutes past three o'clock the train was
brought up to the platform. It consisted of the
Royal saloon, with both before and behind it a saloon
carriage, and between the former and the tender of
the engine was placed one of the second class (open)
carriages, in order to break the force of the stoppages.
At 25 minutes past three o'clock the Royal car-
riages arrived. _

Her Majesty and Prince Albert, on arriving at the
platform, were received by the Chairman and Secre-
tary, and by them were conducted to the waiting-
room. The second carriage contained Lady Lyttel-
ton, with their Royal Highnesses the infant 'Prince of
Wales and the Princess Royal, and their nurses, and
the third carriage contained Earl Hardwicke, Lord
Charles Wellesley, Hon. C. A. Murray, &c.
The Royal party remained but a very few minutes
in the waiting-room, and were then conducted to the
train. The train was put in motion, and propelled
by a numerous body of the Company's servants
along the line as far as the second bridge, a distance
of about 20 yards, where the engine was most
dexterously attached, and no pause took place in the
motion of the train, which instantly gained its most
rapid pace.

-Her Majesty appeared rather pale, and seemed
fatigued by the journey. She was dressed in a violet-
-coloured satin dress, with flounces, and wore over it a
purple velvet mantilla trimmed with chinchella fur.
Her bonnet was of rose coloured silk, with drooping
feathers of the same colour. Prince Albert appeared
in excellent health, and had on a black velvet spencer,
with a row of chased silver buttons down the front,
over which he wore a blue great coat.
Much pleasure was expressed by the spectators at
the excellent view they were able to obtain of the Heir
Apparent and his Illustrious sister. The former wore
a round cap of purple velvet, with a broad band of
gold, and was wrapped in a robe of Stuart tartan.
The Princess Royal had on a bonnet of the same colour
as her Majesty.

Later in the afternoon several other carriages, con-
taining members of her Majesty's suite, arrived at the
terminus, and proceeded by the rogular trains to
Slough.

WINDSOR 'CASTLE—SATURDAY EVENING.
This afternoon, at twenty minutes past four o'clock,
her Majesty arrived at the Castle, frond Walmer, ac-
companied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, hav-
ing travelled from Paddington to Slough in the State
carriage of the Great Western Railway Company.
Her Majesty was escorted from the Slough station
by a detachment of the 2d Life Guards.

Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and
the Princess Royal, attended by the Dowager Lady
Lvttelton, followed in another carriage and fbur.
The following members of the Royal household
were in attendance upon the Queen and the Prince :
Viscountess Canning, Lady in Waiting; Earl Hard-
wicke, Lord in Waiting; Lord Charles Wellesley,
Equerry in Waiting ; and thejHon. G. E. Anson.
Her Majesty appeared in excellent health 'and
spirits, and but very slightly fatigued from the effects
of her lengdiened journey.
The loyal inhabitants of the town assembled in
very considerable numbers in the High-street and on
Castle-hill, to greet her Majesty upon her returning
from Kent.

The Royal dinner party this evening will be con-
fined to the members of the Royal Household.

SIGNS OF RETURNING PROSPERITY.—It iS said
that parties are in trcatyfor the Mersey mills, Heaton-
' lane, and the Higher Hillgate mills, at Stockport
(both of which are filled with machinery), with a view
of commencing work. Both these establishments have
been closed many months; the former having been
last worked by Mr. Carr, and the latter by Messrs.
Lanes, and they jointly employed near 2,000 hands.
We hope that the expectations of parties may be rea-
lized, as the re-opening of these mills would find em-
ployment for so many destitute operatives of this long-
distressed borough. We believe that arrangements
are also in progress for the re-opening of the extensive
cotton manufactory at Gorton, in this neighbourhood.

BIiI3TOL SUGAR MARKET, DEC. 2.—A few more
lots of desirable groceries having made their appear-
ance in our market, there has been rather more doing
than for the last few weeks, and full prices have been
obtained. The bulk of the stock in hand is of a low
deserktion, which appears to be perfectly unsaleable.

In Huddersfield the noble sum of 1,1701. had been

subseribed.—Leeds Mercury.

FOREIGN.
Espartero had reached head-quarters at Barcelona
on the 29th. The orders for bombarding the city had
been withdrawn, as from all accounts the insurgents
were quarreling with each other, and would give the
Regent little trouble.

It is confidently stated at Madrid that the agent of
M. Rothschild has supplied the Treasury with forty
millions of reals for the expenditure rendered neces-
sary by the insurrection at Barcelona. The 24 regi-
ments of provincial National Guards, which had lately
lean dismissed, have been again called out.
Lord Ranelagh and Mr. Baillie Cochrane, M.P.,
have returned to Paris from their visit to Bourges,
where they were extremely well received by the
Royal prisoners. These gentlemen, it is said, give a
very enthusiastic account of the eldest son of the
Prince of Asturias.

According to the official table of the prices of
wheat in the French markets during the lest three
months, it appears that the highest was at Marseilles,
being 25f. lc., and the lowest 15f. 77c., at Paimpol,
Ille-et Vilaine.

The price of bread, for the first fortnight of the
present month, is fixed A 31c. the kilogramme.
The responsible Editor of the Presse is cited to ap-
pear on Wednesday next before the Correctional Tri-
bunal, to answer a charge brought against hiin for an

lishing separate supplements without being stamped.
A letter from Vienna of the 22d ult. states that the
Duke de Bordeaux has not yet recovered from his late

PUBLIC XIVIPIZONMIVIENTS.
On Thursday a public meeting was held at the
Town -hall, Brighton, for the purpose of raising a' sub-
scription to enable Mr. Cooper to complete his new

subscribed before the meeting closed.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.
The Dowager, a piece in one act, was produced for
the first time at the Haymarket Theatre on Saturday
night with complete success. The plot is ingenious,
complicated, and full of incident, and the attention is
kept alive until the close of the piece. It is, however,
too light to require a minute analysis, and it will
suffice to say that it was successful. Madame
Vestris, a rich and arch dowager of thirty, performed
her part inimitably; so did Charles Matthews. The
other performers were not much behind them ; and it
is only justice to say that the piece owes much of its
success to the exertions of all. The accessories were
well got up, and the house was crowded.

MONEY and COMMERCIA L NE WS
(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.), . ~•
The Cotton Market at Liverpool was without altera-
tion yesterday, except that the American qualities
in the face, too, of so enormous a crop, had a rising
tendency. People must indeed be speculation mad to
pay advanced rates in the face of such advices as We
receive from the United States. About 6,000 bads
were disposed of. The Share Market was good ,for
Great Western, Liverpool and Manchester, and Lon-
don and Birmingham. The quotations were,—
Eastern Counties Debentures, 105; Grand Junction,
183 184; Great Western Fifths, 83 to 81 ; Birmin
, ham, 186 ; Manchester and Leeds Half, 293 ; and
North Midland, 614-.
Advices have been received from Hobart Town to
the 27th June. Flour had improved in value, being
181. per 2,0001b5. Wheat was 6s. 10d. to 7s. 3d. per
bushel.
The dates at Hobart Town from South Australia
were June 2. In the neighbourhood of Port Lin-
coln the natives were exceedingly troublesome, and
the settlers were afraid to stir from the location.
Several most daring robberies had been committed at
the different out-stations, and the two or three sol-
diers placed in guard over them were compelled to
decamp. A mounted police was urgently required.
Port Philip papers of June 16, notice the con-
demnation to death of the desperate bushra-ngerg
captured by a party of the settlers, and in addition to
other atrocities and murders brought home to them/
it had been discovered that they intended to assassi-
nate Judge Willis in cold-blood, as he 'was riding
into Melbourne, but which their timely capture
happily prevented. Mr. Arden, the proprietor i•
Port Philip journal had had his sentence for a
on Judge Willis remitted by Sir George Gip-ps• f

(rnom A CORRESPONDENT.)

Saldana Bay, and Singapore. The voyage
reni England to China, by the Cape of Goor
-n j

'44d _transit is avoided ; besides, as ,we can coal
atid water at our own colonies, we are under no
Vligation to France, Enypt, or any foreign
Trer, and this is of consequence.

Yearly effects of dreadful storms and ship-
Wrecks, Saldana Bay is as good, extensive, and

the water, for the express purpose, where

her coal and water, will be necessary at Saldana

Dude, to do), the like depots will be wanted at

The voyage direct to China, by steam, will be
much shorter cut than by thel route a sailing

England to Bombay, by the Cape of Good

cart, . was arrested, but denied all ownership of the
tiate or its contents, and pertinaciously refused to de •
their to whom they belonged. The officers having
by itisuspicions, conceived the idea of verifying them
to th:ans of the mule. At night they led the animal
-t4he,,
,entrance of the village of Laverune, a short dis-
at, oil' I oin Montpelier, and there letting him loose, he
farrieee galloped off gaily till he reached the door of a

this ,\ 131ked quietly round to the stable. To strengthen
