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-

authorities of the university. Her majesty was plainly

CORRESPONDENCE

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD

SIR, 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.

satin gown, black velvet cardinal without any collar, and
a lilac silk bonnet. The prince wore a field marshal's

. - .
From whatever source this imprudence has emanated,
it deserves 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 !"

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 ioajesty ;

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 ;eredeafening. 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 on 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 Pi,blic
Library, which is next the Senate House, by the Vice-
Chancellor and the higher authorities.
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.

How and why, and upon what provocation, these reverend

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-

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.

HOURS OF BUSINESS

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

SlR,—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 Our 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.
In the full hope that the publication of this letter will
have the desired effect, and thereby prevent the necessity
of convening a meeting upon the subject,

Fur is now re-appearing, and will be much worn, not
only for muffs, pelerines, &c., but as trimmings of dres-
ses, for which swansdown chinchilla, ermine, sable,
grebe, martin pre all employed. The palisses bournous
and mantraux will all be worn this winter; but though
retaining the same names, will offer some novelty,'both
in make and ornament. The new scarf, termed echarpe
yachi Victoria, is a tartan plaid of large pattern and very
soft texture. Pelisses of cachemire are lined with satin,
quilted in patterns like embroidery. Scarfs of velours
cameleon are with revers. and have half sleeves.
Veils, as well as lace, will continue to be introduced on
autumnal and winter bonnets ; they accord well with the
satin, velvet, velours epingle, figured silks now in use.
Bonnets remain small and low at the ears, a little more
rounded in the crown, and the fronts rather more erase
(open). Green velvet bonnets have been lined with white
velvet, and white satin bonnets with pink. Many velvet
bonnets are ornamented with feathers, mounted in the
style of the bird of Paradise ' • they are shaded in colours
to match the material of the bonnet ; sometimes two are
placed inclining to the same side. One of the prettiest
novelties is the bonnet of velvet calibre, ornamented with
marabouts calibre, which is a mixture of blue and red
glace with white ; the capote Andalouse is also approved.
For caps, the paysanne form is most fashionable, with
small crown, flat head-piece, and lappets. Caps ala
vieille are also pretty, having nceuds and agremens of rib-
bon and lappets. All articles of embroidery run on spots,
rings, the coffee-berry, and, after these, running patterns
en vermicille, filiagree, &c. Pocket handkerchiefs are
with borders of large coloured spots, scrolls of one or two
colours, with corners and initials. It is remarked that
coiffures of hair are generally worn rather higher en ne-
glige, the style in bandeaux, with tortoiseshell comb for
parties, intermixed with flowers or a wreath of roses,
placed above the forehead. Dress hats are of Castillane,
Montespan, Peri, Aragonaise style. The little couronne

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD

Sin,—Knowing you to be a fosterer of the fine arts, I
beg leave to call your attention to a picture of the Rev.
Hugh Stowell, of Manchester, by Mr. T. C. Thompson.
By the courtesy of Mr. Thompson I had a private inspec-
tion of it, at his lodgings, 10, Maryland-street, and rarely
or never was more gratified by any production of modern
art. It is a beautiful picture. There is much ease in the
left arm ; the head is well set ; the drapery of the robes
well done ; the countenance full of individuality ; the
painting itself warm, yet the colouring chaste. It is also
an admirable portrait. Indeed, I must say it is the only
successful one I have seen of Mr. Stowell, although he
has sat for several.
I understand that Mr. Thomr on's picture is for sale.
With its counterpart, Mr. M`Seile, it would admirably
suit the Protestant Association ; or some wealthy indi-
vidual, who, wishing to retain his society, could find him
in his dining-room or lobby—a thing not to be done with
the original, whose locomotive powers rarely suffer him to
be stationary for two days consecutively.
You will not set this down as an advertisement. You
know my hand, and that 1 have no further interest in the
matter than that I think it a shame such a picture is not
better known, and a greater one if known that it is not
bought. I have got a long string of living pictures, in
the shapes of little men and little women, or would cer-
tainly add it to my gallery of worthies, for the sake of the
picture and of the man. Why not (happy thought !)
submit it to tke council, in the room of (hei mihi !) the

PALTERING WITH SEDITION.-The tampering of the
Whig organs with the dangerous spirit which is abroad in
Ireland, is one of those sacrifices of honest principle to
party which does not cease to be odious by being common.
After exaggerating the importance and danger of the
Repeal movement so long as the Government remained
quiescent, they begin to coquet with their bugaboo as soon
as Government begins to act. Is this the conduct of
reckless incendaries who will hazard the stability of social
institutions to promote their own selfish ends? or is it
merely the blindness of those who, conscious that their
own professions are mere talk, cannot imagine the exist-
ence of overmastering passions and convictions—cannot
believe that there are men whose words are sure to be fol-
lowed by actions? Whatever the source of the crooked
line of policy they are adopting, it is so dangerous as to
call for serious rebuke. It is no new phasis in Whig
tactics, nor even copied from the similar latitudinarian
policy of the Tories when recently in opposition. " Just
) much public calamity as may get their rivals out and
!mselves in," was their game when the nation was en-
ted single-handed in a war with Europe : this is their
ne now, when they are forward to proclaim that the

COURT OF PASSAGE

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

ACCIDENT AT THE DOCK

PENNINGTON v. SMEATII AM.—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
bale of cotton fell down in consequence of the negligence
of the defendant's tartar, 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 unable 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. TYRF.R.—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, he 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
belonging 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 brokep, and she was so much injured that
it was found necessary to kill her. The driver did not
stop at the time. but continued at 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.

DISPUTED PARTNERSHIP

HEALEY V. CRISP AND HEALEY.—The plaintiff in
this case was Mrs. Healey. 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 defendants. The defendant Edward Healey al-
lowed judgment to go by default.
It 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 were accordingly sent,
and about 1200 passengers sent by them, giving a con-
siderable profit to the speculators. A promissory note
was given to Mrs. Henley 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 on 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
speculation, and that one partner had no right to bind the
other. It was a separate and distinct matter from their
agency business.

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

CLAIM FOR DELT.

FELL. v. DAVIES.—The plaintiff is a erocer, 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, consistine of different Articles of household use.
The defendant pleaded a set-off for work done, as was sup-
posed on account of the plaintiff.—Verdict for the plain-
tiff for the full amount claimed.

INJURY FROM A VICIOUS HORSE.
SHELLIDAY V. DEAKIN.—It appeared from the state

went 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 passine along the
quay, between the Victoria and Waterloo Docks, the
horse, which had been loosed from the cart, at►acked 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.
