THE COURT.

Some of our Kentish contemporaries have announced that
preparations are making for the arrival of the Queen at Wol-
lner Castle. We can assure our readers no symptoms what-
ever are, as yet, apparent of a royal visit to that place ; and,
moreover, the new yacht is preparing for sea, with all possible
expedition, in order to enable her majesty to visit the princi-
pal seaports in her dominions, during the ensuing autumn.—
Kentish Observer.
HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT.—We are in-
formed that his Royal Highness Prince A,bert has fixed
Wednesday, the 19th of July, for his visit to our city, to be
present at the launch of the Great Britain, the stupendous
sister ship to the Great Western. We have little doubt he
will be accompanied by a splendid retinue; neither do we
doubt that the directors will seize the opportunity to brill.. to
Bristol the members of the Cabinet, the Lords of the Admi-
ralty,b foreign Ambassadors, and the principal persons of the
Royal households, Mr. Hazard, we find, has charge of the
banquet to be given on the occasion at the company's works.
We congratulate our fellow-citizens, and all the west of Eng-
land and South Wales, on the prospect before them for one
of those displays of loyalty for which Bristol has ever been
conspicuous. Mr. Hazard says he has to make arrangements
for a splended supper, a main accompaniment to a ball at the
Victoria-rooms, on. the nieht of this auspicious day, when
Mr. Weippert's services will be in request.—Bristol Mirror.

TILE INTENDED ROYAL MARRIAGE.—The nuptials of
her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta of Cambridge with
his Serene Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Meck-
lenburg Strelitz are, it is understood, now finally arranged
to take place on Wednesday the 28th instant, (next Wed-
nesday fortnight). It is anticipated that the interesting
ceremony will be performed at Buckingham Palace, and it
is already known that the iliustrious bride and bridegroom
will proceed, after the conclusion of the ceremonial, to the
residence of the Duke of Cambridge at Kew, to spend the
honeymoon. At Kew arrangements are already in active
progress for making the auspicious occasion a general holiday ;
and in order that all classes of her Majesty's subjects may
join in the general rejoicing. dinners will be given to the poor
of the neighbourhood, the houses will be decorated with flags
and evergreens, triumphal arches will be erected, royal sa-
lutes tired, and in the evening the leading and most influential
of the inhabitants will dine together, and the houses will be
brilliantly illuminated.

We understand that Lord Granville Somerset and his as
sociates have at length sent into the treasury a report res-
pecting the Customs Department of the port of London ;
but of course the contents will not be suffered to transpire
until the Lords of the Treasury have had time to consider
the recommendations of the commissioners. The domestic
calamity which has just befallen the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer will necessarily delay the matter for a few days.—
Standard.

There was a considerable number of ladies, amongst them
Lady Lyndhurst, below the bar of the house of lords on
Friday night. Some of them called upon Lord Brougham,
who had been engaged in animated conversation with them,
for a speech. His lordship most obligingly consented, and
had the honour of exhibiting to the King of Hanover the
extraordinary versatility of his principles. His majesty, no
doubt, still entertains a very lively recollection of some of the
noble lord's earlier performances.—Globe.
The Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone's appointment to the
presidency and the Earl of Dalhousie's to the vice-presidency
of the Board of Trade were completed at the Privy Council
held by her Majesty at Buckingham Palace on Saturday last.
These appointments are made by minutes on the command of
the Sovereign in the books of the Council merely. Mr. Glad-
does not, we understand, receive any profit or emolument
from the presidency of the Board of Trade ; and the state-
ment which has been circulating in the Irish papers, that the
Earl of Dalhousie is indebted for his appointment to his con-
nection by marriage with his Grace the Duke of Wellington,
is, we we are enabled to add on high authority, without the
smallest foundation ; theillustrious duke had, we are assured,
no more to do with the appointment than Mr. Fox Maule, the
noble earl's Whig kinsman. Connection by blood or mar-
riage with the Duke of Wellington is by no means the readi-
est or the easiest step to official employment or promotion,
asindeed more than one of his grace's relatives can testify.

-,,rd in it one of the fellowa went, Thvir plan jr-up that
only one should call at the same shop. On of them called
at Miss Bourne's, a stationer, as early as half-past seven,
and requested-to see her, but being indispot.ed she was not
up, and he was requested to come again, which be (lid in
about an hour, and seemed very urgent for as interview, but
after waiting a short time again left, promising to " look in
presently" and stating that his business was to offer her the
, sole agency lOr the sale of a newly invented Marking Fluid,
e whir' rlled " Golden Marking Fluid." Shortly afte

wards another person came upon the same errand, and upon
Miss B. expressing her surprise that two persons should be
employed at the same titre upon a similar business. he re-
plied that he was one of the proprietors of the " Marking
Fluid." and that the gentleman who had previously called

was another of the firm ; he himself was a.traveller for the
house. Then pointing to some bottles of Stephens's Writing
fluid upon a shelf opposite him. " I see," said he, " you al-
ready sell our Ink." Miss B. inquired whether he was one
of the uroprietors of that Ink, and he replied in the affirma-
tive, adding it was Mr. Stephens who lately called on you,
and producing, at the same time, several advertiseinents at-
testing the merits and extensive sale of the Golden Marking
Fluid. He again repeated his offer of appointing her sole
agent, stating the profits allowed. He affected to be in-great
haste for her decision, as business called him elsewhere. So
Miss B. consented to become the agent, and, at his request,
wrote her name in a small memorandum-book which he pro-
duced. He then left the shop promising to send a few dozen
bottles of the fluid. In less than five minutes he returned
with several brown paper parcels, which he said contained a
gross of bottles, and presented a bill of £3l Ss., of which he
demanded immediate payment. Astonished at this unex-
pected demand, and at the fellow's effrontery, Miss B. in.
sisted on withdrawing her consent to what she had been in-
duced to imagine was merely a commission agency. and not
a purchase to be made upon the spot, adding that she had
been entirely misled. He, however, persisted in his demand,
and became very insolent, reminding her that the insertion
of her name in his memorandum-book had placed her in his
power, and threatened to employ legal measures for enforcing
payment. Finding that be could not obtain the money, he
departed, refusing to take his parcels with him, and within a
few minutes a lawyer's letter from a neighbouring office was
delivered to Miss B. demanding immediate payment of the
tftn—an instance of " sharp practice" which has rarely been
outdone since the times of the renowned Dodson and Fogg.
In the mean time the fellow contrived to get between one
and two pounds from Mr. Freeman, a druggist, for some
bottles of his preparation, delivered under the same pretence
of appointing him sole agent for the sale of it, but acting to-
wards him with rather more caution ; and he might have suc-
ceeded in imposing upon others; but for the prompt mea-
sures taken by some gentlemen to whom Miss B. related the
circumstances of the imposture, and who traced the fellows
to the inn, from whence they were about starting, trusting,
no doubt, to the intimidating effect of.their legal notice. Just
after its delivery the other proprietor made his appearance at
the shop; but, frightened by a gentlemen whom he mistook
for a solicitor, he was glad to decamp, taking with him his
parcels of marking fluid, or whatever else they might con-
tain, and followed his accomplice, from whom Mr. Freeman
had, in the interim, obtained back half of the sum which he
had been induced to pay him under false pretences. They
then left the town as speedily as possible, and now are, no
doubt, trying to victimize elsewhere. Both are smartly-
dressed men, Jewish in appearance, and one of them evi-
I dently a low-bred, illiterate man.— Welshman..
