AL PROGRESS TO CAMBRIDGE

back to the lodge in the same order, and shortly after-
wards (at eight o'clock) the royal pair sat down to dinner.
At half-past nine, the heads of colleges, masters of arts,
and all the fellows of Trinity, were in attendance at the
lodge, and at ten o'clock admitted in order of precedence
to the royal presence chamber, Henry the Eighth's draw-
ing-room, where they were presented to her majesty. At
ten o'clock on Thursday morning, the trumpets announced
the approach of the queen to the Senate House. Her
majesty was received at the entrances by the vice-chan-
cellor, the lord-steward, and a number of the higher
authorities of the university. Her majesty was plainly
but elegantly dressed, wearing a black and purple striped
satin gown, black velvet cardinal without any collar, and
a lilac silk bonnet. The prince wore a field marshal's
uniform.

CORRESPONDENCE

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

The throne to which her majesty was conducted was
overhung with a canopy of red velvet, lined with white
satin, and surmounted by an imperial crown. The heads
of houses and doctors of divinity, law, and physic, took
their stations on the dais right and left of her majesty ;
and on either side, also, stood groups of the more distin-
guished of the fair portion of the assembly. Portions
of the galleries were also set apart for ladies. When her
majesty entered, and for some short space after she took
her seat on the throne, the cheers throughout the build-
ing were deafening. A signal being given to the under-
graduates in the gallery, all was instantly hushed; and
the ceremony of conferring a doctor's degree on Prince
Albert, and robing his royal highness in the scarlet gown,
was commenced. After this had been gone through, the
public orator (Mr. Crick, of St. John's College) delivered
a Latin oration, addressed especially to the royal pair,
thanking them, in the name of the university, for the
special favour they conferred upon it by their gracious
visit, and congratulating the learned body o❑ the auspi-
cious occasion. His royal highness bowed frequently, and
now and then really blushed at the very eloquent compli-
ments paid him by the speaker.
Her majesty after remaining in the Senate House for
nearly an hour and a half, and until the imposing cere•
monies had been concluded, was conducted to the Public
Library, which is next the Senate House, by the Vice-
Chancellor and the higher authorities.

Sirt, —Notwithstanding our boasted civilization and
moral improvement, there are amongst us persons who,
it appears, bid defiance to the laws of morality, and scru-
ple not to practice the most daring profaneness with im-
punity—totally regardless of the requirements of religion.
For the last week there has been placarded about the
town a note announcing the arrival of "a young devil—
to be seen alive, &c. ;" and another bearing a nonsensical
device intended to' represent the object which is thus so
injudiciously made the occasion of sport and presumption.
Fropg whatever source this imprudence has emanated,
it deft•ves the severest reprehension, and is an error
which ought not to escape without observation. To those
persons who have their country's good and the welfare of
their fellow-creatures at heart, and who possess some
regard for their own conduct, it is disgraceful in the
extreme; and to those who are reckless of the future, and
who are ever on the alert to suck in what advantage they
can against our established religion it will afford ample
reason for scorn and derision, it will, indeed, cause the
" enemies of God to blaspheme !"
I am no despiser of amusements so long as they tend
to recreate the mind without corrupting it; but when
serious subjects are construed into ridicule—v% hen the
limits of decency and good sense are over-reached—it is
time to withdraw from places of amusement where " sin
lieth at the door."—l am, sir, your obedient servant,
AN OBSERVER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
" And some are blessed with store of wit,
" Yet want much more to manage it."

Her majesty and the-prince visited the provost's house,
and walked about the grounds for a brief space : after
which they proceeded in the royal carriage through the back
gate of King's, and thence by the rear of Trinity to the
back entrance of St. John's College.
The queen and prince then visited the Church of the
Holy Sepulchre, generally called the Round Church, which
has lately undergone a superb renovation under the super-
intendence of the Camden Society. The royal pair ex-
pressed themselves much plea,led with the restoration of
the beauties of the ancient edifice. After a very brief

interval her majesty and the prince proceeded together in
an open carriage to the Pitt Press, after which they drew
up before one of the most superb and beautiful buildings
in this or any other country, the new Fitzwilliam Museum.
Her Majesty did not alight from her carriage, but stopped
some moments contemplating the magnificent exterior of
the building. She then visited Corpus Christi College
and the new Church, and drove back to Trinity College,
the gate of which she entered at four o'clock. After hav-
ing remained at the lodge for about half an hour, the royal
pair took their :departure through the front gate, where a
detachment of the Scotch greys escorted the royal car-
riages out of town, along Trinity-street, King's Parade,
Silver-street, and over the Queen's Bridge, through
Newnham, and on the Barton road for Wimpole, the seat
of Lord Hardwicke.

The Queen and her illustrious consort reached Wimpole
Hall precisely at twenty minutes to six o'clock, escorted
by the Whittlesey troop of Cambridgeshire yeomanry ca-
valry, and as the royal corle'ge drove up to the entrance,
the assemblage of persons warmly greeted her Majesty.
The Earl of Hardwicke received the Queen on her
Majesty alighting from the royal carriage, and conducted
his august visitor up the steps to the entrance-hall, where
the Countess of Hardwicke was waiting to welcome her
Majesty.

The Duke of Rutland, Marquis and Marchioness of
Normanby, Marquis of Exeter, Earl of Caledon, Viscount
and Viscountess Canning, and the other visitors especially
invited to meet the Queen and Prince, were previous to
dinner assembled in the drawing room, and there had the
honour of being introduced to the Queen.
At eight o'clock dinnei• was announced. The enter-
tainment was served up in the grand dining-room, a noble
apartment in the south wing, in which are hung many
valuable portraits of the Hardwicke family, that of Lord
Chancellor Hardwicke being conspicuous among the rest.
The table presented a splendid display of plate, a silver
plateau, on which were ornaments of silver bearing the
choicest fruit, arranged alternately with massive silver
candelabra, extending the whole length of the table. In
the centre, opposite to the Queen and Prinee Albert, was
placed a beautiful model in silver of St. Michael over-
coming Satan, of exquisite workmanship. On the side
tables there was a profusion of ornamental plate, salvers,
&c. Covers were laid for 2-1.

'The Queen and Prince sat beside each other at the
table, with the noble host and hostess on either side, and
all retired for the night shortly before twelve o'clock.
On Friday evening a splendid ball was given at Lord
Hardwick's, at which all the leading families of the county
and isle, to the number of three hundred, were present.
On Saturday, at eleven o'clock, her Majesty and suite
left Wirnpole, and arrived at Windsor at a quarter before
five, having travelled by a special train on the Great
Western Railway. The testimonials of respect paid on
the road fully equalled those which awaited her Majesty
at almost every spot during her progress to Cambridge on
Wednesday.

COURT OF PASSAGE

This court continued its sittings on Tuesday. The fol-
lowing are the only cases of interest since our last :

ACCIDENT AT THE DOCK,
PENNINGTON V. S➢IEATHAM.—The plaintiff in this
case was a person in the employ of Messrs. Bower and
Son, cotton brokers, and the defendant is a cartowner.
On the 17th of April last the defendant's cart was on
the quay at the Victoria Dock, and the plaintiff was en-
gaged in assisting to discharge cotton from the Hibernia.
According to the evidence of' the plaintiff's witnesses, a
hale of cotton fell down in consequence of the negligence
of the defendant's cartar. by which the plaintiff's leg was
broken. It was contended, however, on the part of the
defendant, that the accident Arose out of circumstances
over which the defendant had no controul. The plaintiff
was urahle to attend to his duties for about twenty weeks,
part of the time he was attended by a medical man. The
damages were laid at £l9. The jury, after a few moments'
consultation, found a verdict for the plaintiff for £lO.

ACCIDENT FROM FURIOUS DRIVING.
BOARDMAN v. TYRER.—The plaintiff, Richard Board-
man, as stated by Mr. JAMES, was the owner of a mare
which was kept in a field in Great Howard-street, and on
the first day of last Aintree races, in the evening, be sent
his son to fetch her from the field. On bringing her out
of the field, and just as she was coming on the road, a car
helong:ng to the defendant, and driven by one of his ser-
vants named Henry Si mister, was coming along at a furious
rate, in consequence of which the mare was knocked
down, and her foot becoming entangled in the wheel one
of her legs was broken, and she was so much injured that
it was found necessary to kill her. The driver did not
stop at the time, but continued al a rapid pace for some
distance. He was, however, eventually stopped, when he
used most insulting language to the party who had charge
of the mare ; he was also intoxicated. The amount sought
was £lO, being the value of the mare. Mr. PAGET ad
dressed the jury on the part of the defendant, and called
several witnesses, who gave a complete contradiction to
the case as set forth on behalf of the plaintiff. Mr. JAMES
replied, contending that the witnesses for the defence were
unworthy of credit. The jury considered it unnecessary
to have the evidence read over, and immediately found a
verdict for the plaintiff, damages £7.

Stn,—lt is a notorious fact that the greatest scolds are
the most irritable, when only gently chided for their folly
or their inconsistencies : just so with the Mercury. From
its commencement to the present era abounding with spleen
and vituperation against all who doubted its prescience, or
refused to swallow its dogmas,—let any one dare to place
its merits and demerits in the scales, and the vials of its
wrath are instantly poured forth with the ireful volubility
of a petulant and spoiled schoolboy ! During a long ca-
reer, (and much too long without a proper check,) of more
than 32 years, this joarnal hath played the vicar of Bray
with admirable tact and ingenuity ; from the days of Henry
Hunt to those of Daniel O'Connell, the Liverpool Mer-
cury was, and is still, the same,—the pander to discon-
tent, irreligion, and disorganization, whatever fitful shape,
or form, or dangerous attitude such feverish symptoms in
the state might assume ; and, like the camelion Daniel,
hath displayed equal powers of self-preservation in the
hour of peril. However, more of this historical sketch
at a future period. I shall, in this letter, endeavour to
confine myself to its moral turpitude of Friday last.
In speaking of what he calls "the political movements
of the Church," he slyly strives to convince his readers
that his sole motive for continually attacking the esta-
blished clergy is for their politics alone. I will, briefly as
possible, analyse this futile position of the church's enemy.
He speaks of the " rancour breathing of some of her cler-
gymen against better men than themselves, who belong to
other Christian churches." In this tirade, it must be as-
sumed he means the public appeals made by the fai'hful
sons of the church against the spread of Popery and Uni-
tarianism, as exemplified by their union with sedition, the
ever-consequent follower in the wake of intolerance and
semi-infidelity. But, (for argument's sake, only, and
waiving religious disputation,) granting that the sons of
the church were so far acting erroneously,—whoever wit-
nessed the Mercu, y condemning, or impartially denounc-
ing, the wild and fierce and fanatical attacks of the Roman
Catholic priesthood upon the constitution and the church ?
None : their political " rancour breathing against better
men than themselves" was lauded as philanthropic; as
" breathing" only for the welfare of the poor of Ireland !
No condemnation ever issued from the Mercury against
rent-gatherings, or repeal-gatherings of money by anathe-
ma, threats, or excommunicating terrors! Oh no : all this
passed by without much notice, beyond continual side-
winded approvals of their dastardly course, put forth to
secure that " wide" circulation for his harlequin organ
which it so pre-eminently enjoys. Again, whoever read
in the Mercury, any comments on, or signs of disappro-
bation of, the immoral conduct of some dissenting clergy-
men I have "in my mind's eye?" "Oh ! let them pass,
they are our political friends, advocates for civil and reli-
gious liberty, forsooth ! But, in direct contradiction of
the hardy assertion that they have " never maligned the
clergy, or attacked the church,—we have no disposition to
do so," what will an honest public think of the continual
attacks and sneers of the Mercury against that portion of
the established church to whom he has repeatedly applied
the " low" designation of " the Irish brigade ?" Is not
this scurrillous and put forth to bring them into disrepute
and contempt? Most undoubtedly ; it is done for that
purpose. All the flowers of the wormwood and verjuice
vocabulary, in which the emissaries of the Mercury are
such admirable adepts, have been out in requisition to cry
down the efforts of that zealous and ever-active portion of
the church clergy, at the head of which stands the Rev.
H. M'Neile. None can contradict this position in the
present day.
Your space and the short time elapsing between the
publication of the two papers not permitting me to look
over a file of the Mercury, to which I have access, (at the
same time acknowledging my due sense of his civil offer,)
I shall this week be obliged to content myself with naming
from memory a few of the established clergy whom the
Mercury has wantonly and unprovokedly attacked :
Reverends J. Brooks, A. Campbell, Blacow, Carpenter,
Wray, F. Oulde, Tattershall, James, Tat lock, and Barker,
of this town ; the Rev. Mr. Moss, of Walton ; the Rev.
Mr. Baylee, of Birkenhead • the Rev. J. T. Horton, of
Ormskirk ; the Rev. Mr. Marsden, of Eccles; the Rev.
J. Pigot, of St. Helen's ; the Rev. Mr. Hay, of Man-
chester, the Rev. Mr. Powell, of Wigan ; with numerous
others, as his file of papers will amply prove, and with
which proofs I will be faithfully prepared in your next.
How and why, and upon what provocation, these reverend
gentlemen came to be the objects of the Mercury's ani-
madversions—they having "no disposition to do so"—is
for that versatile paper to explain ; the more particularly
so as the weaknesses and discrepancies of the ministers of
"other churches" appear to have escaped his notice.
As regards being scurrilous with me, I shall only state,
that the Mercury has libelled me in the most coarse and
unfeeling manner, and that, too, from political spleen,
without any grounds or provocation whatever on my part;
yet I heeded not when my friends pointed it out to me—
"'twas only the Mercury, and all things have a time."
As to any " gall at success," that is evidently with the
editor, at my having galled him in the withers so unwit-
tingly by awkwar'l reminiscences ; and the insinuation
about my being " employed" by you, you can testify, is
totally false! It ill becomes the Mercury to mount upon
its stilts and exclaim and complain against scurrility when
its columns are perpetually teeming with low personalities
Yours, &c.,

DISPUTED PARTNERSHIP.
HEALEY v. CRISP AND IIEALNY.—The plaintiff in
this case was Mrs. Healer. a widow lady, residing near
the Old Swan, and the defendants, Joseph Crisp and Ed-
ward Healey, were parties carrying on business as auc-
tioneers and ecclesiastical and scholastic agents. The
action was brought to recover the sum of £5O, which it
was alleged had been lent by the plaintiff to the defendants.
Mr. JAMES appeared for the plaintiff. and Mr. ARNOLD
for the derendants. The defendant Edward Healey al-
lowed jndgment to go by default.

Tt appeared the defendants entered into partnership in
1842, and in the early part of the present year entered into
an enagagement with the Grand Junction Railway Com-
pany to start a cheap train to London. They were to
deposit a sum of money, and guarantee a certain number
of passengers. the difference between what they paid to
the company and what they charged to the public being
for their own benefit, as a remuneration for their risk.
According to the terms of negotiation, the company re-
quired the sum of £lOO as a deposit to indemnify them
from any loss before they would incur the liability. The
defendants had not the money at that time, and an appli-
cation was accordingly made to Mrs. Healey, the mother
of one of the defendants, by letter, dated from Slater-
street, the place of business of the defendants. The
application was for £7O, but only £5O was obtained,
which, together with £2O. was paid to the company, who
had consented to take £7O as a deposit, instead of £lOO,
as previously required. The trains wera accordingly sent,
and about 1200 passengers sent by them, giving a con-
siderable profit to the speculators. A promissory note
was given to Mrs. Healey for the £5O, signed by Edward
Healey. in the name of the firm, and Mr. Crisp himself
had admitted that the money had been lent for the specu-
lation in question. but that he would not pay it until the
accounts connected with the railway affair had been set-
tled, the money being, as Mr. Crisp alleged lent to Mr.
Edward Healey nn his own responsibility, to enable him
to pay his proportion of the deposit, and that he had no
authority to give the partnership name for that amount.
Witnesses having been called for the plaintiff,
Mr. ARNOLD, on the part of the defendant, denied
there was any trading partnership as regarded the railway
aneculation, and that one partner had no right to hind the
other. It was a separate and distinct matter from their
agency business.

The jury exnressed themselves satisfied, and a verdict
was found for the plaintiff For £5O.

CLAIM POE Dr TsT.
FELL v. DAVIES.—The plaintiff is a grocer, and the de.
fendant a slater and plasterer ; and the action was for goods
sold and delivered (amounting to £5 13s. 11d.) to the de-
fendant, consisting of different articles of household use.
The defendant pleaded a set-off for work done, as was sup-
posed on account of the nlaintiff.—Verdict for the plain-
tiff for the full amount claimed.

INJURY FROM A VICIOUS NORSE.
StIELLTDAY DEAKIN.—It anpeared from the state-
ment of Mr. JAMES that the defendant, John Deakin,
was the owner of a mischievous horse, which was driven
in one of his carts. The plaintiff was a working man ;
and, on the 12th of July last, while passing along the
quay, between the Victoria and Waterloo Docks, the
horse, which had been loused from the cart, attacked him,
and knocked him down, by which he was severely injured
and prevented from following his employment for some
time. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—
damages £lO.

RUMOURED VISIT OF THE KING OF THE FRENCH.
—lt appears that the King intends to return, next year,
the visit he has this year received from Queen Victoria.
Such is ht least what we infer from an answer given to a
contractor of the navy department on their postponing
some urgent supplies for want of money. "It as much
as we can do," observed an official person, " to find three
or four hundred thousand francs required for the fitting
out of the royal yacht, which is, next summer, to convey
his majesty to the coast of England."—Paris paper.

The Grand Duke Michael arrived, on a visit to Sir R.
Peel, at Drayton, from Chatsworth, on Saturday week.
The Grand Duke attended prayers with his host on Sun-
day, at the parish church. On Monday the imperial guest
left Drayton for Whitley, to visit the Queen Dowager.

DISPUTED DEBT.
MAGUIRE 7Y. ROBINSON.—in this ease the plaintiff was
an itinerant linen dealer, and from the statement of his
ennnsel, Mr. JAMES, it appeared he had cold some linen,
of the value of £lO 7s. Gd.. in June last to the defendant,
who is a landing-waiter. The defendant denied that there
was any contract, and that the linen had merely been left
by the plaintiff at his house, to he called for at his conve-
nience and that it was a mere trick to get a customer for
the goods. Verdict for the plaintiff for £lO is. Gd.

CONVERSION OF TWO TABLES.
DOYLE 9), BALLANTYNE.—The, plaintiff in this case,
Thomas Doyle, had sent two tables for sale to defendant.
who was a salesman or broker. They were put no at
auction, but Doyle honszht them in, and some dispute
having arisen between the parties as to the purchase of a
child's Oz, the defendant refused to eive no the chairs.
Verdict for the plaintiff. damaces Ils. 6d.

HOURS OF BUSINESS.

DISPUTED ACCOUNT.
BREWER V. GILLILAND.—The plaintiff is a flag-mer-
chant, and defendant a dealer in navinct-atones. and the
former had supplied flags and other articles to the defen.
dant, at various periods, to the amount of £l4 3s Rd.,
for which, it was allee.ed, he refused to nay. The defen-
dant's plea was. that it was merely an exchange of goods,
an agreement having been entered into that the plaintiff
should supply flags, &e., to the defendant, and receive in
lien of them paving stones. to be charged at the same
price as the flags. It was, however, denied that any such
agreement had been made by the plaintiff, such a thing
being utterly ridiculous, as the articles were of different
value. and not sold in the same manner. The ASSESSOR
thought the matter would have been much better settled
nut of court if the parties could have agreed to do so.—
Verdict for the plaintiff for £6 15s. 10(1.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
Sra,—Public opinion having been successfully brought
into operation as regards the affording more relaxation
from business, and better means of cultivating and im-
proving the minds, in the case of the assistant shopkeep-
ers of the town, I wish to solicit your aid and advocacy
in promoting the cause of the solicitors' clerks, in their
endeavours to procure a general relaxation from the tedi-
um and monotony of their avocation, on Saturday after-
noon. It is a well known fact, that the bustle and alac-
rity generally requisite in most occupations, are materially
instrumental in preserving a buoyancy of spirits and a
healthy circulation of the blood ; but the duties of solici-
tors' clerks are proverbially dull,—the memory and eyes
being in constant tension, to the manifest exhaustion of
the animal functions, and causing a lethargy directly oppo-
site to that cheerfulness so essential to health. Seden-
tary employment wearying the nerves and animal faculties
as much in one hour as active motion will in two hours.
If, in addition to these considerations, the solicitors of
this town reflect, that Saturday afternoon is not a time
wherein the law is in much request, tradesmen and others
being then held in abeyance to other necessary and urgent
duties and business, I am of opinion they will, at once,
concede the desired boon, and no longer withhold so sea-
sonable and proper a regulation, the more particularly so
when the fact of several respectable solicitors having al-
ready adopted this regulation is made known.
