THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD

to the contemplated effect of the whole measure, of the
increased power given to the heads of the Customs de-
partment of administering oaths, and that the clause re-
lating to the treaty with America went too far.

Mr. GLADSTONE said, that, in bills such as this, that
formed a part of a general system, it was necessary that
an exposition given of its objects must be in general
terms. The intentions of the bill were as numerous as
the clauses of it. He suggested that the discussion should
be postponed till they went into committee.
Mr. BANKES acquiesced and the house went into com-
mittee.

Clause to 9 inclusive were agreed to. Clause 10, re-
lating to watches, were struck out. The clauses to 13
were agreed to.
On clause 14, providing that manufactures of Gibraltar,
Malta, and Heligoland, manufactured of materials of
foreign origin, be charged as foreign, being read,
Mr. V. GIBSON objected to the clause, and said he
would divide the committee upon it.
After a short conversation, the house divided, when the
ciause was carried by a majority of 87 to 14.
With reference to clause 25, which had been dwelt upon
by Mr. Bankes,
Mr. GLADSTONE entered into a very long explanation.
Mr. BANKES said the right hon. gentleman had not
satisfied him on his main point. He should therefore
move the insertion of words which would prevent an im-
proper introduction of agricultural produce under the 3d
article of the treaty.
Sir ROBERT PEEL said it was not quite fair that ho-
nourable members who had concurred in thanking with
Ministers and Lord Ashburton, with regard to this treaty,
should now, when called upon to give effect to its pro-
visions, turn round and condemn it. Nothing could be
more clear than the third article.

Mr. G. BANKES said he was willing to fulfil the treaty
literally, but the clause went beyond the meaning of the
article it was intended to give effect to.
After some further discussion, and an explanation from
Sir R. PEEL,

Mr. G. BANKES said (amid much laughter and cries of
" divide, divide ") he would not divide the house on his
amendment.

The clause was, therefore, agreed to. The house re-
sumed, and the report was ordered to be received on
Monday.

THE COURT.

On Thursday her Majesty and Prince Albert, accom-
panied by the Prince of Wales, and Princess Royal, and
their illustrious visitors and their respective suites, pro-
ceeded in the state carriage of the Great Western Railway
Company to Windsor. Her Majesty arrived at Slough
from Paddington in exactly 27 minutes. Mr. Russell,
M.P., Mr. Guppy, and Mr. Jones, (three of the direc-
tors of the company,) and Saunders, the secretary, were
in attendance upon her Majesty to Slough. The Queen
was escorted to Windsor by a detachment of the Ist Re-
giment of Life Guards, under the command of Lieutenant
Lowther. The most extensive preparations were made
at the Slough station for the reception and accommoda-
tion of her Majesty and her illustrious visitors and suites.
under the superintendence of Mr. Howell. The platform
(from which the public were entirely excluded) was covered
with a splendid crimson carpet leading to the royal apart-
ment, through which her Majestyproceeded to her carriage.
It is not expected that the stay of the Court at Windsor
Castle will be prolonged beyond this day, at which period
it is now arranged for her Majesty and his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert, with their royal and illustrious visi-
tors, to proceed to Buckingham Palace for three or four
days, where her Majesty, it is believed, will give another
party before the departure of their Royal Highnesses the
Prince and Princess Augusta, and their Serene High-
nesses the Duke Ferdinand and the Prince Leopold of
Saxe Coburgh Gotha, for the Continent. The return of
the Court to Windsor is expected to take place about the
following Satnrday, the 12th instant. Her Majesty will
then remain at the Castle until the prorogation of parlia-
ment.
Sir Augustus D'Este has, it is said, presented a peti-

tion to the Queen, claiming.to be entitled to the titles of
his father, the late Duke of Sussex.—Standard.
The Duke of Wellington has caused cards to be issued
for a splendid banquet on Saturday next, the 12th inst.,
to meet the King of Hanover, for which a most distin-
guished circle have received invitations.
LORD MELBOURNE AND THE COURT.—It iS said that
her Majesty and Prince Albert, previous to their departure
for Windsor, presented Viscount Melbourne with their
portraits, superbly painted, three-quarter lengths.
MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—On Tuesday, at St.
George's Church, Hanover-square, Mr. George Chet-
wynd, eldest son of Sir G. Chetwynd, Bart., led to the
altar Lady Charlotte Hill, eldest daughter of the Marquis
and Marchioness of Downshire. The Hon. and Rev.
Dr. Gerald Valerian Wellesly officiated at the ceremony.
PRESENT OF A WELSH HARP TO THE PRINCE OF
WALES.—On Thursday evening, by her Majesty's com-
mand, the Rev. Mr. Price, vicar of Cymdu, so well known
for his taste, talents, and learning, as one of the most
eminent antiquaries of Wales, attended at Buckingham
Palace with the beautiful Welsh triple harp made expressly
for his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, by Mr. Bas-
sett Jones of Cardiff, and which national tribute of loyalty
her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert were
graciously pleased to permit the Prince of Wales to accept.
His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Michael Paulo-
witsch, only brother to his imperial Majesty the Emperor
of Russia and to the Queen of the N etherlands, is expec-
ted to arrive in town at the close' of the ensuing week, on
a short visit to this country. The Grand Duke and suite
are now staying at the Baths of Kissengen, in Bavaria,
whence his Royal Highness is expected to make a brief
sojourn at the Hague, en route to England.
THE KING OF HANOVER.—The King of Hanover, we
understand, intends giving a grand dinner to the principal
nobility and gentry previous to his majesty leaving this
country for his dominions. We have heard that up-
wards of 400 cards of invitation have been issued, without
any distinction whatever to political parties. The leading
families of both wbigs and tories have been invited to the
dinner. The banquet will be held at St. James's Palace.
—Standard.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Glocester visited
his Majesty the King of Hanover, on Wednesday. The
King, attended by the Baron de Reitzenstein, honoured
the Earl of Shaftesbury with his company at dinner. His
Majesty afterwards honoured the Duke of Wellington
with his company at the grand concert given by hls Grace
at Apsley House. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge, attended by Lady Augusta So-
merset, also honoured the noble Duke with their company
in the evening.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Wirtemberg,
with General Baron Maucler and Count Zeppelin, attache's
to the person of His Royal Highness, left Mivart's Hotel
at ten o'clock on Saturday morning for Blackwall, to em-
bark for Antwerp, from whence the Crown Prince repairs
direct to Stutgardt. At the same time their Serene High-
nesses Prince Peter and Princess of Oldenburg and family,
embarked on board the same steamer, after a compara-
tively brief sojourn in this country.
THE VACANT GARTER.—The names of several dis-
tinguished noblemen have been circulated at the clubs for
the Garter at the disposal of the Premier by the death of
the Duke of Dorset; but we have reason to believe the
honour has not yet been awarded to any personage. This
is the sixth Garter that has been in the gift of Sir Robert
Peel since he came into office—namely, those held by the
Earl of Westmorland, Marquis Wellesley, Marquis of
Hertford, Duke of Dorset, Duke of Norfolk, and Duke
of Cleveland.

The Earl and Countess of Wilton and a large party pro-
ceed to the Mediterranean, in the course of the present
month, where they are expected to remain on a cruise, in
his lordship's splendid yacht, until the end of September.
THE FORTHCOMING COMEDY.—The authoress of the
forthcoming comedy at the Haymarket is, according to
generally received rumour, Lady Wortley, daughter of
the Duke of Rutland. and who is married to the second
son of Lord Wharncliffe, President of the Council.

A ROYAL BRIDE.—The Debals gives the following
description of the Princesse de Joinville :—" Her Royal
Highness is tall and elegantly formed. Her forehead is
high and commanding, and her eyes remarkably beautiful
and expressive, by turns of a noble gravity or radiant
vivacity. To present her full portrait in writing is not
possible, but a just idea of it may be formed by those who
knew the Princess Marie, Duchess Alexandre of Wurtem.
berg ; for the countenance possesses the same mild dig-
nity, the head has the same pure and fascinating lines
which, alas ! exist no more, but in the ineffaceable recol-
lections she has left behind, but of which the Princesse
de Joinville has brought into her new family a living
resemblance, as if it were the original still smiling in her
youth and happiness."
A CONJUGAL DISAGREEMENT.—BERLIN.—The un-
fortunate differences between Prince Albert of Prussia
and his consort, Princess Marianna of the Netherlands,
sister of the reigning King of Holland, form the general
topic of conversation. Domestic disagreements of the
most serious nature rendered it expedient that there
should be a separation, though not a formal divorce.
With this view the Princess was recommended to go to
reside with her father, the ex-King of the Netherlands,
who was then at the Hague, and it was determined that
she should not return to Berlin until after Prince Albert's
departure for his journey into the East, which was ex-
pected to occupy at least two years. The Princess did not
return to Berlin until after the departure of the Prince,
her husband, whose travels in Syria and Palestine, and
visit to the Court of the Sultan, have recently been re-
ported in the journals. It would seem, however, that
these travels and receptions have not afforded the illus-
trious Prince so much gratification as might have been
expected, for it is understood that he is preparing to re-
turn to Berlin. No sooner was the intended return of
the Prince made known here, than preparations for the
departure of the Princess were immediately set on foot.
It is the intention of her Royal Highness to proceed with
her two children to Italy.—Brussels paper.

THE ARISTOCRACY AND THEIR SERVANTS.—The
Court Gazette says,—" The stewards and housekeepers
of the nobility often make large fortunes at the expense
of their masters. We have known 20, and even 50, per
cent. offered to them by tradesmen, as a remuneration for
getting the custom of their employers ! How can this be
made up except by plunder ? We know of entertainments
given below stairs, in some of the squares, more costly
(if not more select) than those given in the drawing-room.
The lady of a Prime Minister (whom we shall not name)
told us that the whole of the aristocracy were the slaves
of their servants. I cannot offer you any refreshments,'
said she, 'but I dare say there are hot pheasants and
champagne in the steward's room.' "

On Tuesday last, at Eton, the eight senior King's
scholars were superannuated ; amongst whom was Carter,
whose turn, from his position in the college, it wae to
succeed to a fellowship at King's College. No vacancy,

King's when the college clock struck the hour of two on
Tuesday forenoon, the senior King's scholar at Eton loses

On Monday, Stamford was visited by a terrific storm
