next day to proceed to Balmoral.
MR. ROGER JOHNSON SMITH, the independent Con-
servative elected in opposition to the influence of the
Marquis of Hertford, for Lisburn, died suddenly last week,
at his residence in that town. There will, no doubt, be a
strong contest for the seat.
LORD ALFORD, who, by the recent decision of the
House of Lords, has been put in possession of the Bridge-
water estates of £70,000 a-year, is only eleven years Of
age. His grandfather, Earl Brownlow, is in his 75th year.
A MARRIAGE, we understand, will occur in a few days,
between a member of the family of a dignitary of the
Church, resident in this city (nearly related to a distin-
guished Prime Minister), and the daughter of a rev.

THE LATE GENERAL SIR CHARLES NA.PIER, G.C.8.,
will be interred in the Garrison Chapel of Portsmouth
to-morrow. The coffin, which is made of polished English
oak, has on the lid the inscription on a shield of brass—
" Lieut.-General Sir Charles James Napier, G.C.8., born

August 10, 1782. Died, August 29, 1853."
A Pic-Nic, on a large scale, visited Mulgrave woods,
the domains of the Marquis of Normanby, on Wednesday.
Not fewer than 1,500 congregated together, and engaged
in all kinds of sports and games, and dancing. The Earl
and Countess of Mulgrave, with their children, and the
Hon. L. Phipps, the rejected candidate for Whitby, joined
the party.
GRAND FETE AT CHATSWORTH.—The Duke of Devon-
shire gave a splendid fete on Friday to her Imperial
Highness the Grand Duchess Marie of Russia and the
Duchess of Leuchtenberg, daughters of the Emperor
Nicholas, who have been sojourning in this country the
last few weeks. His Excellency Baron Brunow, the Earl
of Burlington, Viscount Sydney, Hon. F. Leveson Gower,
M.P., and many others, were invited to meet the illus-
trious guests.
THE EARL OF ELLESMERE has returned from Ame-
rica in the Leander. His lordship is indisposed from gout.
Admiral Sir 0. A. Oramanney proceeded on board. It is
said there are loud complaints on board the Leander of
the want of hospitality on the part of the Americans ; one
illustration is given in the fact that they charged the or-
dinary price for the water required for the ship, which is
quite contrary to the practice observed towards ships of
the United States Navy in British ports.

HER MAJESTY'S TRIP TO DUBLIN.

ON Monday morning, last week, at a quarter past three
o'clock, the royal squadron left Holyhead, and arrived in
Kingstown Harbour at 20minutes past eight. The weather
during the voyage across the channel was as fine as could
be wished, and when the sun rose the spectacle presented
was an exceedingly imposing one. Behind, and becoming
fainter and fainter on the eye, lay the dim outline of the
Anglesea coast, and in front could be distinguished the
misty forms of the Wicklow mountains. Over the sea
the royal yacht and her attendant fleet of steamers bravely
held their way. As the fleet appeared off Kingstown
Harbour a royal salute from the batteries and from the
portholes of La Hogue thundered forth the news of its
approach ; and the harbour, crowded with gaily decorated
yachts, presented a highly animated appearance. Her
Majesty's early arrival seemed to take the inhabitants by
surprise.

The reception given to her Majesty and Prince Albert
on Monday was all that they could desire. The Earl and
Countess of St. Germans presented themselves shortly
before nine o'clock, and they were followed by the two
Archbishops, the Duke of Leinster, Viscount Gough, the
Marquis and Marchioness of Headfort, the Earl and
Countess of Bective, the Lord Chancellor,. Chief Justice
Monaghan, Mr. Daman, Mr. George Roe, the Earl of
Howth, the Right Hon. J. Hatchell, the Right Hon. F.
Blackburn, Colonel Taylor and Mr. Hamilton, members
for the county of Dublin, and many other personages of
distinction. _ _

At ten o'clock, amid the thunders of a general salute
from the fleet, the Queen for the second time set foot on
Irish soil, and it may be worth remarking that the spot
selected for her doing so was precisely the same as that
where she alighted on the first occasion. A handsome
covered way led from the pier to the station; and along
this approach, lined on either side by privileged spectators,
the royal family and their suite were conducted. The
cheering which now became general, swelled into a roar
of popular congratulation when her Majesty, reaching a
kind of pavilion at which the awning terminated, pre-
sented herself to the multitude outside. Within the
station a large number of ladies had collected, and,
arranged round the platform, their variegated dresses and
their excitement gave an additional feature of in-
terest to the reception. The run up to Dublin was
performed in very few minutes ; and there, at the West-
land-row terminus, arrayed with civic pomp, were the
Lord Mayor and Corporation of Dublin ready, in com-
pliance with ancient usage, to deliver up the keys of the
city as a gage of their:fealty. Having graciously acknow-
ledged the loyal manifestations with which they were
everywhere received, the Queen, and Prince entered the
Park gate ; the procession, except the cavalry escort, filed
off there, a royal salute was fired from the park guns, and
Lord and Lady St. Germans received their Sovereign at
the Viceregal Lodge.
In the evening; all the public buildings, the leading
hotels and shops, and many private dwellings in the
metropolis, were brilliantly illuminated. The principal
thoroughfares presented a very striking appearance thus
lighted up, and the whole population turned out to witness
the spectacle. Sackville-street and College-green were
the chief objects of attraction, but all the leading streets
were filled with people ; and a continuous stream of cars,
which never gave foot passengers a moment's rest from
the terror of being run over, flowed along them : pleasure
was expressed in every face, and all seemed to think, as
announced in one of the gaslight legends, that "the good
time coming" had at last "come" for Ireland. _ _

On Tuesday the Queen, Prince Albert, and the royal
children, accompanied by the Lord-Lieutenant and a
brilliant cortege, paid a visit to the Exhibition. The
interior of the building presented a magnificent spectacle.
Every available corner was occupied from an early hour
in the morning, and at the time of Her Majesty's arrival
not less than from 15,000 to 20,000 persons of rank and
fashion were present. The Queen's reception was most
enthusiastic. Mr. Dargan having been introduced, Her
Majesty honoured him with a cordial shake of the hand.
In reply to the address, Her Majesty said—" It is my
anxious desire to encourage the industry of my Irish sub-
jects, and promote the full development of the great
natural resources of Ireland ; and I share with you the
confident belief that the striking display of beautiful pro-
ductions of art and of industry by which I am surrounded
is to be appreciated, not only as evidence of successful
genius, but as a happy manifestation of that persevering
energy, which, under the blessing of Divine Providence,
is an unfailing source of national prosperity." Her Ma-
jesty's reception on her way to and at the Exhibition was
most enthusiastic.

In the afternoon of the same day the Queen and Prince
Consort paid a highly flattering visit to Mr. Dargan at
Mount Aunville, which had been postponed on Monday
from the state of the weather.

On Wednesday Her Majesty and the royal party paid a
private visit to the Great Exhibition, at half-past nine
o'clock, and remained in the building for two hours and
a-half. A great portion of the time was devoted to an in-
spection of the Fine Arts Hall. Her lfajesty expressed
her unqualified'aUrniration of al/ The had seen in the Ex-
hibition. A review took place in the Park at half-past
four o'Cleck in the afternoon, at whielihour Her Majesty
arrived on the ground in an open carriage. Just as the
review' commenced the rain came down heavily. The
review, nevertheless, proceeded. Prince Albert was on
horseback.

On Thursday, her Majesty, accompanied by his Royal
Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and Prince
Alfred, again visited the Exhibition. The Royal party
arrived at the private entrance at half-past nine, and were
received by the Chairman, Mr. George Roe, the secretary,
Mr. Dean, and the various members of the Committee.
The survey was at once resumed, and on this occasion her
Majesty confined her notice principally to the Irish contri-
butions. The Japan work, a new feature in Irish manu-
factures, first engaged her Majesty's attention. The Royal
party then witnessed the process of striking off medals, in
honour of their visit. The comfit manufactory of Messrs.
Graham, Lemon, and Co. was then visited, and the clean,
pretty and expeditious method of producing confectionery
of all sorts was greatly admired by the Royal family. Mr.
Jones's process of making velvet next engaged her Majesty.
The button-making machines, the section of mineral manu-
factures, and the mechanism of Mr. Kinnaw for making
lathes, in turn attracted the Royal notice. Having com-
pleted for the present their view of the Irish sections, her
Majesty and the Princes inspected the French department,
which is a perfect model of arrangement. The manufac-
tures of Gobelin, Beauvais, and Sevres afforded evident
gratification to each member of the Royal Family, who
took their departure about twelve o'clock. Previously to
doing so, however, her Majesty, with her usual considera-
tion for the wishes of all about her, passed down the whole
length of the centre avenue, amidst the crowd of visitors,
who retired with respectf. 1 propriety on each side, so as to
afford a clear passage to the Royal party and suite, while
they cheered most heartily as the Qneen passed by. It is
also worth recording that her Majesty has gone through
the formality of becoming a season ticket holder, having,
indeed, purchased ten season tickets for the use of the
Royal Family and suite.
On Friday, Prince Albert reviewed the cavalry of the
garrison in the Phcenix-park. The Prince of Wales pre-
sented a pair of colours to the boys of the Hibernian
Military School. Her Majesty and Prince Albert honoured
the Earl and Countess of Howth with a visit at Howth.
Her Majesty left Kingstown on Saturday evening, at
six o'clock, and arrived at Holyhead at Sunday morning,
about eight o'clock.
Her Majesty and suite proceeded on board the Fairy, on

Irish were wont to inhale the aroma of any narcotic re-

chamberlain when our gracious Sovereign was crowned,
and obtained possession of the chair in question, and had
it conveyed to his residence at Slane Castle, county Meath.
His lordship, when asked for the chair by the committee,
at once sent it to the exhibition, and Her Majesty sat
upon it again on Tuesday last.

IRIBII FISHERIES.—A. company is about being formed
in London to fish the coasts of the United Kingdom, but
more particularly those of Ireland and Scotland. The
movement is headed by Sir Jas. Duke. The great power,
both on land and water, will be steam. It is intended to
build a fleet of sixty sailing smacks, of from fifty to eighty
tons burthen, to be employed in fishing on the banks or
in the open sea. These will be waited on by a sufficiently
large number of well-provided steamers, of from one
hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty tons bur-
then, to be propelled by the screw. The live fish will be
transferred from the smacks to the steamers, and taken
alive in the wells to a port where a railroad affords the
most rapid mode of conveyance to the best markets. The
petition for a charter of incorporation, limiting the lia-
bility of the shareholders, was to be presented to the
Queen during her visit to the Irish metropolis.

- A " COOLING FOUNTAlN."—lmmediately after the de-
livery of her 11LAjesty's reply to the address of the Dublin
Exhibition Committee, an incident occurred which en-
tirely, disturbed for a moment the gravity of state ceremo-
nial. An elegant bronze fountain, which afforded sundry
tempting, positions for a better view of the ceremonial,
and which had been left au see, suddenly assuming its
appropriate functions, discharged a copious shower bath
upon a number of eager spectators that had availed them-
selves of the advantages which it so insidiously presented.
Was this the work of some Jesuit traitor, who gratified
his bitter spite by administering this coolinc, application
to the enthusiasm of the people, or the effect of a dark re-
venge on the part of the fountain-maker, for the desecra-
tion of his handiwork ? Was it the envy of a less fortu-
nate spectator, who thus resented the inferiority of his
own position, or was it simply meant as a demonstration
to her Majesty of Paddy's penchant for a lark ? We
incline to the last-named supposition.

GLIMPSES OF DUBLIN.:-:-At the first cursory view
Dublin seems very deficient in houses of public enter-
tainment. No swinging doors invite the passers by—no
glistening bars dazzle the toper's eyes. He sees plenty of
hotels and plenty of grocers, but few what may be called
publichouses. When, however, he has been a very few
days in Dublin, he discovers that in almost every " hotel"
(the Sackville-street and aristocratic ones I exclude, of
course) he may be provided with refreshment as moderate
as a "dandy" of punch, or modicum of whisky and hot
water, which costeth twopence ; or that in almost every
shop where tea and coffee and sugar are sold there also is
sold the enlivening beverage extolled by poets, but de-
nounced by Father Mathew, the " rale potheen," from a
pennyworth up to a gallon, which costeth eight shillings.
There are, I believer some excise and municipal regula-
tions, limiting the drinking of whisky on the premises,
which prompt some grocers of tender consciences to pro-
vide back yards, with back outlets, into which customers
accidentally stray to drink their whisky, and find as ac-
cidentally such waifs and strays as " materials," f. e., hot
water, sugar, and lemons, under a water-butt, or what
not ; but, in general, there seems no disguise about the
matter ; and, in the drain-drinking line, the grocer as
plainly means whisky as, in England, the Alton alehouse
means beer.—Household Words.
ATTEMPTED SITICrDE.—A case of family embroilment
took place recently in Belfast between parties in a re-
spectable line of life, which very nearly terminated fatally.
A commercial traveller and his wife, both foreigners, have
been residing at lodgings; and on SundaVevening, after
dinner, some conversation ensued between them, the effect
of which was to excite in the lady deep feelings of jealousy.
The gentleman threw himself on a sofa, and fell into a
sleep, and the lady left the house, having first written a
note, which she left on the table, with her gold watch and
jewellery. The poor woman repaired to Prince's Dock,
about nine o'clock, into which she threw herself, and from
which her rescue was almost miraculous. Three boys had
been in a boat down the river, and were returning when a
cry was raised of a body in the water. They pulled to the
place indicated, and one of them succeeded in securing a
hold of the poor woman's dress, and with great difficulty
she was taken out. She was quite insensible, and it was
the general opinion that she was dead. She was imme-.
diately conveyed by one of the constables, aided by others,
to the general hospital, where proper
.means were adopted
to resuscitate her, and fortunately with effect.. At a late
hour last night she was recovering, and continued in a
fair way. Her husband had been searching through the
town, immediately on his reading the note, but in vain.
He called at the Police-office, with a view to obtain assist-
ance, and it subsequently turned out that the object of his
search was then in the general hospital, under the circum-
stances detailed above.--Belfast Mercury.

THE LORD BISHOP OF ADELAIDE, the Right Rev.
Augustus Short, D.D., has arrived in this country with
Mrs. Short and three daughters, from Australia.
THE DEAN AND CHAPTER OF WESTMINSTER have
arranged with the Ecclesiastical Commissioners to have in
future their fixed salaries of £2,000 and £l,OOO each,
instead of the uncertain amounts dependent on fines, &c.
THE ENGLISH CHURCH AT GENEVA, dedicated to the
Holy Trinity, was, we are informed, to have been conse-
crated by the Bishop of Winchester, who had arrived at
Geneva for the purpose on the 30th ult. The foundation-
stone was laid by his lordship about two years since.
ELECTIVE PATRONAGE.—The number of candidates
for the living at St. Nicholas' Church, Ipswich, vacant by
the death of the Rev. M. G. Edgar, is about 89. The
living is worth £l7O a year, and is in the gift of the
parishioners. "After the most eligible of the candidates
have preached before the parishioners, the day of election
will be fixed."--l_pswich Express.
SIR ROBERT PEEL.—The Parish Church at Drayton,
Warwickshire, has been restored at an expense of £2,000.
The remains of the late Sir Robert Peel are buried there.
The present baronet, on being applied to for a subscription,
at once said—" Gentlemen, instead of putting my name
upon the list as a subscriber, if you will permit me to see
your plans carried out at my own cost, I shall be most
happy to do so."
DISTRICT CHURCHES.—It appears, from a parlia-
mentary-paper just issued, that the number of districts
assigned to churches built and consecrated under the Ist
and 2nd William IV., c. 48, sec. 2, in the respective
dioceses, is as follows :—Chester, 74 ; Winchester, 37 ;
Lichfield, 18 ; Worcester, 17 ; Ripon, 15 ; London, 9 ;
Gloucester and Bristol, 6; Lincoln and Carlisle, 6 each;
Rochester, Oxford, and Ely, 4 each ; Chichester, Hereford,
and Salisbury, 3 each ; Bath and Wells, 2 ; Canterbury,
St. Asaph, Bangor, Exeter, and Sodor and Man, 1 each ;
No returns have been received from the dioceses of York,
Manchester, and Peterborough ; and it would also appear
that no districts have been created in the dioceses of St.
David's, Llandaff, and Norwich.
BISHOPRIC OF NATAL.—A sum of £5,000 is still re-
quired to complete the endowment of the see of Natal, so
as to secure the bishop the moderate income (as recom-
mended by the Colonial Bishops' Council) of £BOO a year.
It has been thought that an immediate endeavour should
be made to raise as large a proportion of this amount as
possible in the diocese of Norwich, both as a tribute of
respect to Dr. Colenso, as a clergy.man of the diocese, well
known to many by his connexion with Christian mis-
sions, and as a token of sympathy on behalf of the Zulu
Kafirs, in whose history there are many points of special
interest, and who number upwards of 150,000.
THE BISHOP OF ST. Asaru has recently consecrated
Pont Probert Church, beautifully situate on the margin
of the Mechan, at the extremity of the Vale of Meiford.
The building is described as a simple Gothic edifice, sixty
feet in length, with lancets, and a couplet on the south
side, and a three-light window, with circles in the head, at
the east end. The western gable is surmounted by a
double bell-gable, under which there is a two-light win-
dow. The dressings of the doorway, windows, plinths,
strings, and buttresses are of Caen stone. The bell-gable
is also constructed of the same material, the stone of the
neighbourhood being used for the walls. There is an
open roof. The floor is, laid with black and red tiles, and
II the seats are low open benches, which, together with

the roof timbers, are stained and varnishes
