COURT AND FASHION.

The Queen and Prince Albert left town on Wednesday
afternoon for Osborne, her Majesty's marine residence in
the Isle of Wight. The royal party proceeded to Posts-
mouth by special train, where they embarked on board
the Fairy, at Trinity wharf, Cowes, soon after six o'clock,
under a salute from the guns of Cowes Castle. Her
Majesty, the Prince, and Royal Family looked remarka-
bly well. On embarking and disembarking Lord Adol-
phus Fitzclarence had the honour of steering the barge.
HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.—It is not yet
officially announced when her Majesty will leave for Scot-
land, but from the arrangements in progressit is now
certain her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and
suite, will embark at Woolwich, on Saturday, the 31st of
the present month, or Monday, the 2nd of August next.
The junior branches of the Royal family are expected to
remain at Osborne-house during her Maiestv's visit to

Scotland.—Times.
The Earl of Ellesmere left town on Friday, to join the
circle visiting the Earl and Countess Cowper, at Pansan-
ger, Herts.

THE ELECTIONS, 6.c

W. N. Hodgson, Esq., solicitor, has started on the
Conservative interest, for Carlisle.
Mr. Thornely has issued his address to the electors of
Wolverhampton.

The Liverpool Lion says that the electors of Liverpool
must be bad boys, for they want Birch and Manners.
The Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce have resolved
to make a determined stand against Sir Robert Peel's
bank act.

Viscount Drumlanrig, eldest son of the Marquis of
Queensberry, intends becoming a candidate for the repre-
sentation of Dumfries-shire.
FINSBURY.—It is said to be the intention of the Con-
servatives to put in nomination Mr. Samuel Warren,
author of " Ten Thousand a Year."

There is every reason to believe, that the Hon. Henry
Thomas Liddell, M.P., will become a candidate for the
representation of South Shields, Wm. Whateley, Esq.,
Q.C., having expressed a desire to withdraw in his favour.
A fierce contest is anticipated for the Dublin Univer-
sity, or rather morally certain. Four candidates are
already in the field—Mr. Recorder Shaw, Mr. Napier, Mr.
Hamilton, and Professor M`Culloch. The struggle will
be chiefly between the two first, as nobody seems to doubt
the re-election of Mr. Hamilton.

NORTH LANCASHIRE ELECTION.—A meeting of free-
traders, electors of the northern division of the county,
convened on the requisition of twenty-five freeholders and
electors, was to be held yesterday, at Preston, on business
connected with the future representation of this division
of the county.

CORK.—The resignation of Mr. D. Callaghan having
left a vacancy in the city, the repealers have cast their
loving eyes on Alderman Fagan, an eminent merchant,
and proprietor of the Cork Southern Reporter. A depu-
tation was to have waited on Mr. Fagan on the subject,
and it is probable the offer will be accepted.
Htna..—Mr. Baines, Q.C., has consented to become a
candidate, and, as a preliminary step, he forwarded to the
Home-office, from York, on Thursday afternoon, his
resignation of the office of recorder of this borough. A
deputation has proceeded to invite Mr. Lefevre to stand
for Hull along with Mr. Baines.
LONDON.—There are now eight candidates for the re-
presentation of the city of London : three of the present
members, viz., Lord John Russell, Mr. Masterman, and
Mr. Pattison (Mr. Lyall retires), and five new candidates,
viz., Baron Rothschild, Sir George Larpent, Alderman
Johnson, Mr. Bevan, of the banking firm of Barclay and
Co., and Mr. Freshfield, formerly member for Falmouth
and Penryn.

SOUTH LANCASHIRE.-It appears pretty evident that
if Mr. Villiers be elected for South Lancashire, he will
decline the constituency in favour of Wolverhampton. It
has been reported that Lord Brackley was again likely to
come forward. This, however, seems to be out of the
question, he having issued another address to the con-
stituency of Newcastle-under-Lyne, which town it seems
hardly probable he will again abandon for a contest in
South Lancashire, where the objection raised against
him, when he came forward, if worth anything then, are
just as forcible now.
