THE ROYAL VISIT TO THE CITY.

His Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by the
Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal, left Windsor on
Tuesday morning, about ten o'clock, and arrived at
Buckingham-palace shortly after eleven. They left the
palace for Whitehall about a quarter-past twelve o'clock,
and were received in their passage through the park with
the most lively demonstrations of loyalty. At twelve
o'clock, the lord mayor and the civic authorities entered
the state barge, and proceeded up the river, followed by
all the barges of the city companies, gaily decorated with
flags. At twenty-five minutes past twelve, Prince Albert
and the royal children, attended by the Master of the
Horse, and by Lady Lyttelton, &c., arrived in three car-
riages at Whitehall stairs, where they were received by
Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, who conducted them to the
royal barge. They looked very well, and were enthu-
siastically cheered.

The procession started from Whitehall at forty-five
minutes past twelve, in the order mentioned in the pro-
gramme, and had a most imposing appearance. The river
was covered with boats, of every kind. The windows and
roofs of the houses, indeed every point fr3m which a view
could be obtained were crowded with spectators. The
Hungerford Suspension Bridge literally bent beneath the
weight of the crowd assembled on it, and the other
bridges were equally crowded. The weather was splen-
did, and the whole scene may be described as unequalled
in the annals of aquatic pageantry. The procession
arrived at the Custom-house at one o'clock, and the royal
party were received on landing by the corporation, headed
by the recorder, the Dukes of Cambridge and Wellington,
the Marquis of Anglesey, and Sir Robert Peel.
The interior of the exchange presented a magnificent
appearance. At twenty minutes past one, the prince
entered the building, leading the Prince of Wales and the
Princess Royal, and accompanied by the lord mayor, the
prime minister, and the other officers of state and mem-
bers of the household, and were received with tremendous
cheers.

The recorder read an address to the prince, who made
a suitable reply. Several gentlemen were then introduced
to the prince, and after some few minutes spent in admir-
ing the building, a splendid luncheon was served up, the
lord mayor proposing the usual loyal toasts, which were
warmly responded to.
The royal party left, on their return, shortly before three
o'clock, embarking on board the Fairy yacht. The pro-
cession reached Whitehall shortly after half-past three
o'clock. The prince left for the Paddington railway sta-
tion, on his return for Windsor, shortly afterwards.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—THE DUKE OF BRUNS-
WICK v. HARMER.—In this case, in which the plaintiff
had obtained a verdict with £5OO damages, for a libel in
the Weekly Dispatch, Sir F. Thesiger, for the defendant,
has obtained a rule for a new trial.

Mr. J. B. Hume, a barrister, of only two or three years
standing, and a son of Mr. Joseph Hume, has been ap-
pointed secretary to the commission for enquiring into
the claims of the New Forest. Mr. Hume had the good
fortune to be secretary to the mint commission, and from
his last appointment we infer that is to be a perpetual
secretary to commissions, a kind of security that while
Mr. Joseph Hume shall remain in parliament commis
sions will not be wanting.
