MOVEMENT ON BEHALF OF FREE EDVCATION.—WQ
are authorised to state, that two private meetings have
been held, with the view of considering the propriety of
taking early measures for the formation of a society for
the promotion of popular education, exclusively on the
voluntary principle. In order to receive the freest expres-
sion of opinion, and the most enlarged co-operation, it is
intended, we are informed, to convene a conference of the
friends of voluntary education throughout the country as
soon as practicable after the ensuing election. The ar-
rangements will be formally announced in due course.—
Manchester Examiner.

It is now generally supposed that the dissolution of Par-
liament will take place on the 20th instant. Some think
that the elections will be postponed until after the harvest;
but there appears to be no reasonable ground for the sup-
position. An election now-a-days, lasts only over one
day; and if the preliminaries, in canvassing, and in speech-
making, and carousing at parties be considered as involv-
ing a task of exertion amongst the people, who by their
votes are to sway the legislative influence of the country,—
then, we say, the sooner the election is fixed the better,
so that the
.fatigue may be over, and leave "the labourers
in the vineyard" recruiting for the perhaps more profit-
able, and certainly more salutary occupation of gathering
in the fruits of the earth. Besides, thp candidates are all
already selected and pitted, and the constituency may,
by delay " go further and fare worse."

CORRESPONDENCE,

PRINCE CONSTANTINE ON SNOWDON

MOUNTAIN

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,
MY DEAR Sin,—On the morning of the 27th, in company
witn four gentlemen whom I met the evening before near
Llanberris, (one German, two Spanish, the other a fellow-
townsman,) I started for the summit of Snowdon. We had
heard at that most comfortable hotel, the Dolbadern, that it
was likely we should meet with nis Imperial Highness Prince
Constantine of Russia on the mountain, as he was that morn-
- expected at Llanberris from Beddgelert, en route for

fhe ascent from Llanberris, as many of your readers are
though in all conscience bad enough, is still much
lan we had expected. After scaling the pile of stones
on the extreme summit, and refreshing ourselves at the hut,
our continental friends commenced singing " God save the
Queen," and very well they sang it too. The mist at this
time was so very dense, that we could not see more than a few
years around ; and we concluded that his Imperial Highness,
discouraged by this, would, with his suite, make his way to
Llanberris by the pass. We had, however, scarcely finished
singing the first stanza of the national anthem, and were com-
mencing the descent to Beddgelert, when a wild hallo was
heard immediately beneath us. Our guide assured us, on
hearing this, that it was the party of the Prince. I suggested
to our German companion, as a good and somewhat striking
way of greeting the young Prince, or at any rate of attracting
his particular attention, the singing of some well-known Ger-
man song (the Empress of Russia being a German princess
born)—a song as well known and as popular there as "Auld
lang syne" is here. On the instant he commenced one of the
national songs of Prussia, the country of the Prince's mother,
and his own beloved " Fatherland." In a second or two the misty
veil before us opened, and, apparently as if rising out of the
rocks at our feet, the cavalcade came in sight. They were
twelve in number, mounted on the hardy ponies used on the
mountain. The song of " Fatherland had produced the desired
effect : the Prince immediately rode up to us, and most heartily
and goodhumouredly addressed our German companion in his
native tongue.

While they were conversing, we had ample time to scrutinise
the party. It was a singularly picturesque sight. The Prince,.
a well-made handsome fellow, though not very tall, with a
broad Kilmarnock blue bonnet on his head, and his chest en-
veloped in the warmth-giving folds of a large Royal Stuart
tartan plaid,--and the others, Count Ormoloff, Baron BrunoW,
old Admiral Lutka, our countryman the Hon. Col. Grey, &c.,
all most picturesquely attired.—had to my mind much the
appearance of a party of moss-troopers, or the ancient "children
of the mist" setting out on some wild foray. By the way, our
own general appearance, I think,. must have had more of the
pictorial than the elegant about it. The German, a very tall,
fine young man, with the lower parts of his inexpressibles
tucked up and put inside of his remarkably high boots, had a
good deal of the cut of one of Wallenstem's heroes, booted
and all but ready to vault into the saddle. The Spaniards,
with their large, earnest, black eyes, handsome features, and,
touring costume ; my fellow-townsman, with his cloak half
fastened around him, half flying in the wind ; and your most
obedient servant, with bonnet and Highland plaid,—the wild-
ness of the place, and the singularity of the meeting,—formed
a picture which my dear old friend Ansdeil would have de-
lighted to have embodied on canvas, had he been with us.
The Prince goodhumouredly assured our German companion
that he more than half envied us our mode of travelling, as the
ascent from Beddgelert on the back of a pony was no joke.
After a conversation of a few minutes, carried on principally
in German, relative to the road on the Llanberns side of
Snowdon, the chance of the mist clearing off, and other topics
interesting to the tourist, we wished the Prince and his party
a pleasant journey, which was most courteously returned, and
we separated,—they descending to Llanberris, we to.Beddge-

Liverpool, 29th June, 1847

[We have been informed, since the receipt of the above-
pleasant sketch, that the Prince visited Carnarvon, and
made some drawings in his portfolio of the ancient castle
of Edward the First, which is the pride and ornament of
the " Queen of Wales," and afterwards proceeded to
Bangor, and from thence to Penrhyn Castle, and after-
wards examined the slate quarries- From this he pro-
ceeded to the sweet little town of Conway, and visited the
frowning castle and suspension bridge. After staying there
for some time, he crossed into the island of Anglesey, and
visited all parts of that island interesting to the tourist.]

PROPOSED FEVER-HOUSE AT HILBRE ISLAND_.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
Siu,—l observe in the Albion of Monday last a letter signed
" Nauticus," suggesting Hilbre Island as the most desirable
spot for the reception of the fever patients. Will you permit
me to suggest, that it would, perhaps, be as well if" Nauticus,"-
and any others who may take an interest in this benevolent ob-
ject, would first consult the pleasure of His Majesty the King of
Hilbre before they venture to proceed further in the matter.—
Yours, &c., NAVICULATOR.

THE REGISTERED PALETOT CASE

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.,
SIR,—In your report of the proceedings before the Vice-
Chancellor of England on Saturday, June 12th, you describe
ourselves as receiving the protection of the Court in respect to,
an infringement of our patented right to an invention, and .by
an assumption of the title by which it has been publicly known.
From the great popularity we have attained by the sale of the-
subject of the injunction, a garment styled the Registered.
Paletot„ of Llama Cloth, it may he assumed that the public will
be somewhat interested with the precise facts of the case.
It has already been described, that, when first introducing
our invention, we with much care selected a name hitherto un-
known in this country; as, tracing the origin of the word pa-
letot, it was shown that it was derived from the Greek, adopted.
by the Romati,'and afterWartis by the 'French linguists: "Cir-

rnpetition of trade; or the envy of individuals engaged
in it, that, should eminent patronage and success attend any
member in-particular, he is immediately subjected to the like
injury of which we have had cause to complain. Now, had we
