ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY.

- - -
Her Majesty, accompanied by Prince Albert, and at-
tended by a rittnicrous suite, arrived at Buckingham
Palace at a quarter to two o'clock this afternoon, from
Windsor Castle, to. be present at the Cabinet Council
held to-day. The Royal party was escorted by a troop
of Prince Albert's Own. On her Majesty entering the
Palace the Royal standard was displayed on the top of
the marble arch. Crowds of well dressed persons, and
a number of fashionables in their carriages, lined the
drive in Hyde Park and both sides of Constitution Hill,
by whom her Majesty was most enthusiastically cheered
as the Royal cortege passed along.
A Privy Council was held soon after two o'clock to
arrange the Royal Speech, on opening Parliament to- -
morrow in person and to prick the list for Sheriffs for
the different English counties for the present year.
His Majesty, the King of Priissia, paid a visit to
the Thames Tunnel early this morning, passing down
the river in . a steam-boat, to view the City from
the river. At.the time his Majesty was on his passage,
the weather proved. unfavourable, as the morning con-
tinued foggy. Afterwards his Majesty proceeded to visit
several national and public buildings in the City.

Yesterday Sir Peter Laurie called in at Guild-
hall to assist in the disposal of any matters that require two
Magistrates, Sir Peter being sufficiently recovered from the
effects of his late accident to attend to business, although his
left arm is in a sling. On the..same morning
hat Sir Peter
Laurie slipped down the steps at his door. Sir Chapman Mar-
shall slipped down on the pavement near his residence in Rus-
sell-square, and he, we are sorry to say, remains confined to
his house by the injuries he sustained.
" An EngliAt house of Trieste, largely engaged
in the cotton trade, has," says the Presse, " just ta,iled for two
millions of florins. A Liverpool house, and one of the first
houses in Paris, are said to be amongst the principal creditors."

FOREIGN.

Russia and Irsenee are . again, it seems, reVafteiled.
The Augsburg Gazette announces what is tantamount so
this after a very round-abotit fashion. It states that a
letter from Berlin makes known that a letter from St.
Petersburgh stated that the Emperor had invited all the
members of the French Embassy to a ball, to dance away
the recollection of Royal and Imperial feuds, which in-
vitation was, of course, accepted. Thus the peace of
Europe has been happily consolidated by a gallopade.
The Paris Journals continue to dwell upon the result
of the division upon the Address. The Constitutionnel,
M. Thiers' paper, says—" Never, except at the time sof
the coalition, was there so feeble a majority under simi-
lar circumstances, and yet upon almost every point
Ministers, during the discussion, made concessions in
their avowed policy, and on one point, of the most serious
importance, viz. the right of` search, an amendment was
carried, which in some degree engages the responsibility
of the Cabinet, in the event of the treaty being ratified.
The adoption of this amendment induced a certain num-
ber of persons to vote for the address, who would other-
wise have voted against it, and Ministers, in order to
render the Chamber more favourable, disavowed the hos-
tility against the public press and the institution of the
Jury which has been imputed to them, and yet their
majority small."
The Courrier Francais has the following :—" Notwith-
standing this pretended majority of 84, the Ministry has
received its death-blow. It may drag on for some tune
longer, but it cannot live. It will net venture to dissolve
the Chamber, for it knows that the new elections would
give us an immensemajority. It will not have recourse
to a general election, because it has no claim to public
respect or confidence."
The National' takes precisely the same view of the
perplexed state of the Cabinet:—"lf it be considered
that it was not understood by anybody that the adoption
of the address was to be made a Cabinet question, and
that many Deputies were ,unwilling, by rejecting it, to
pronounce themselves the dissolution of the Chamber, it
will be seen that the minority of-156 is a formal con-
demnation of the policy of Ministers, and an evident
symptom that their ruin is at hand."
The Correspon.cal of Madrid states that an ordon-
nanee was issued on the 12th instant, granting a pension
to the two daughters of Brigadier Diego Leon, equal to
the pay of their father as Lieut.-Colonel of Lancers.
The dowry of the Princess Sophia of Orange, the
future bride of the Hereditary Duke of Saxe Weimar, is
said tObe 3;000,000 florins in cash, or 7,500,000 f.
The Greek Government has published a circular, ad-
dreSsed by the Minister of the Interior to the governors
and sub-governors, cautioning them against putting any
faith in the reports of an approaching rupture between
Greece and the Ottoman Porte.
A letter from Vienna on the same subject says—" The
accounts from Athens are most satisfactory. The Greek
Government has definitely placed at the disposal of the
Porte the sum necessary to pay the indemnities due to
Ottoman subjects who possessed lands within the terri-
tory of Greece, and which have been expropriated."
PUBLIC OPINION.
The Times has a leading article on the subject of a
statement made by a Contemporary, to the effect that
the Bishops are about to hold a meeting for the purpose
of taking into their consideration the doctrines of the
Tracts for the Times. In this article the Times says—
" We are not aware that there is any mode, according
to the constitution of the Church of England, by which
the Bishops can pronounce a binding or effectual decision
upon any controverted theological question, except
through the medium of Convocation, in which the con-
currence of the lower orders of clergy is necessary to
their acts ; and as Convocation will meet on Thursday
next, it will then be known whether they do or do not
intend to address the Queen for leave to proceed to such
deliberations as those contemplated by our Contempo-
rary. We see no reason to believe it."
The. Advertiser ridicules the idea that the Duke of
Buckingham will support Sir Robert Peel in all the rest
of his political measures, with the single exception of the
Corn-laws, which, adds the Advertiser, "is something
like accommodating a ma:s. with the loan of a hundred
pounds at twenty per cent., only deducting the amount of
five years' interest. The whole existence of the Tory
Ministry depends on its conduct with regard to the Corn.

circulation upwards of 2,000,0001. less than it ought to
be, according to its own rule. The general effect of this
proceeding on the part of the Bank is, to maintain that
scarcity of money in London, by which the._ commerce
of the country has been so long kept in a state of embar-
rassment, and at the same time to contract the circula-
ti,o.n of-the country generally, and thereby to depress the

lower now, after a deficient harvest and a limited foreign
`supply, than it was last year, after a better harvest and a
very extensive foreign supply—a state of things which
Can only be accounted for by this inconsistent proceeding

The Chronicle is of opinion that on the downfal of
Toryism alone can that superstructure be raised which
shall give permanent security to the principles of reform,
and increasing, prosperity to our manufacturing turd
commercial industry. Our contemporary goes on to
observe :—" The shabby half-measures which Sir Robert
Peel may bring forward as the price of maintaining him-
self in office, are still a homage to sound principles,
and must sap the foundations of Toryism, which rest on
ignorance and prejudices. But his is not the hand that
can bring back prosperity to our shores, by measures

"We quote the following froni the Brighton Guardian :
Saxony and Prussia are underselling us in the United
:es, the United States are underselling us in China
in our own colonies. The northern parts of Europe
are under-selling us as ship-carriers ; nay, they are be-
ginning to carry for us. Our mare ants and ship-own-

The Tyne Mercury says :—" The demand for foreigi:

prices would equalise themselves, while the labourer
would get better wages, and the farmer would have a

At a meeting of the British Iron Company, held yes-
terday at the London Tavern, it appeared that the
delay in its affairs had arisen from the recent great fall I
in iron. Bar ittit in 19,38 was 91. per ton at Newport,
it is now about 64. making a difference of 120,000/. on
the 40,000 tons produced annually by the Company. The
resolution, however, for a dissolution of the Company,
was negatived.
