tier Majf.sty, it is generally supposed, will visit some of
our magtificent docks ; and if the day prove favourable,
embark from the Llnding.stage for a sail on tt

when it is thought she will pay a visit to the Great Britain,
lying in one of the northern docks. Whether one of the
royal yachts will be sent round to the Mersey, or w!tether
the corporation will have to provide a steam-boat for her
Majesty, if she intends to sail on the river, will depend
upon the commands which the deputation may receive
frcrn the Queen.

Connected with her Majesty's visit, one interesting
question peculiarly suggests itself :—Will Prince Albe,rt
accompany her ? and will any of the royal children lend
interest to the occasion by their artless smiles. We have
not yet- heard that such may be expected to he the cage,
but we see no obstacle to it, but much to lead to the sup-
position it will be so.
Up to the present time, no definite or fixed plan of
proceeding has been laid down ; but we hope in our next
publication to be able to lay before our readers full
details.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO MANCHESTER.

It is said that the respectable authorities of Manchester
are seriously bent upon " making a good thing" of Her
Majesty's visit,—that, in fact, they have it in contempla-
tion to charge a guinea a piece to see Her Majesty on the
occasion of her apperaance in the Exchange, for the
purpose of receiving a loyal address from her liege subjects
in this golden hive of industry. Great is the indignation
of those who conceive that they have a special vocation to
conserve the reputation of " Manchester men." It is
said, that, true to our instincts, we ribout to "exhibit"
the Queen, as a showman would exhiL; • •he hippopotamus,
or a whale, or a giant, or a dwarf, or t'• • industrious fleas,
and that we shall pocket the guineas 1, th as much satis-
faction as if we had netted an extra eighth of a penny on
a pound of twist over and above the ruling price of the
market. Those who are tender of the Manchester repu-
tation protest that the fact will be blown through Europe
as a convincing proof of the invincible avarice and
"economy" of the "Manchester School." And really
there is something too thrifty (shabby would be too harsh
a phrase) in the suspected project to fit in neatly and
harmoniously with the fabled munificence and magnifi-
cence of the " Cotton Lords" and " Merchant Princes"
of Manchester. Liverpool suggests a striking contrast;
so striking that we can easily imagine a " Liverpool
gentleman" pawning his second-best coat in order to avoid
the intolerable imputation of converting the gracious
presence of his Queen into a profitable " spec." If that
man were to live on water-gruel for a week after the
Royal visit, he would rather do so, and contribute hand-
somely to a public subscription to defray the expenses,
than levy even " the small charge of one penny each"
upon those who wished to enter the show and see the
Qu EEti.
To be serious
to the Eve!

if this notion of charging for admission

ze, on the occasion of her Majesty's visit,
has really ever been entertained, it ought to be given up.
We are convinced it would much offend the Queen if she

were to hear of it, as anything else than a joke, and would,
probably, lead to the abandonment of her intention to
step from her carriage at aT,y place in the town. Certain
we are, that her Majesty will never consent to he made a
show of for gain, however the proceeds may be intended
to be applied. if duly considered, the thing is a downright
insult and degradation, and we are rather sorry to hear it
insinuated that it can be necessary for us, or for any one,
to point out the too-palpable gaucherie in such plain and
unequivocal language. l'he thing cannot be. And if we
be asked what other course we can suggest for the pur-
pose of relieving our very excellent Mayor from the invi-
dious task of selecting for admission to the Exchange such
applicants as may lay their pretensions before him we
reply, that it can hardly be necessary for us to be " arbiter
elegantiarum," much less to suggest to his worship, or
to anyone in authority in an i normously wealthy com-
munity like this of Manchester, daily and hourly advancing
in all the refinements of polite life,—what the "correct
thing" may be. Thus much, however, we may say : that
if we were in a similar position, it is not improbable that
we might consider ourselves, under the peculiar circum-
stances of the case, and pro hac vice, as filling, in Man-
chester, the place of Lord Chamberlain ; and under these
circumstances, we think we should take upon ourselves to
invite to the Exchange such persons of weight, influence,
and charaCter as would be most acceptable, in the eyes of
'the Sovereign, to represent the community her Majesty is
graciously pleased to honor by her presence.—Manchester

SUPPOSED MUDDER AT MORPETI

-THE VICTIM IN

LIVERPOOL

The newspapers for some time past have
been gratifying the lovers of the horrible by speculating
on the supposed foul and bloody murder of a Mr. Milner,

a butcher, of that town. a... .as left at a
public house door, and at some distance there was, or the
penny a-liners made, a "pool of blood," with bloody
feet - marks in the direction of an old coal-pit,
into which, it was concluded, the murdered man
had been thrown, The abyss, however, on being
searched, revealed no traces of the mangled remains ; and
the police were thus put off their scent. The whole

Milner's. horse vc

,ad or alive. After much

doubtful anxiety, it began to be supposed that it was just
possible that the well-to-do butcher might have taken
himself off to some emigrant port, for the purpose of
embarkinz for some other and (to him) more congenial
This shrgwd idea has proved to bo the correct

uses coolly stalked into a room near the Exchange, in
this town, in a style of dignity which might have done
credit to the most aristocratic artist that ever felled an

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT DUNMOIV.—On Tuesday
afternoon a most painful feeling was excited in the town
of Dunmow by the report that Harry Stern Sewell, the
child of Mr Sewell, draper, a fine boy, aged five years,
had been killed in the Green-lane, near the Thaxted-road.
At the inquest, which was held the following afternoon
before C. C. Lewis, Esq., coroner, it appeared from the
evidence of William Saich, a boy in the service of Mr.
Sewell, that he had charge of the deceased for a ride on a
pony, and that in Green-lane, near the turning to Lower
Hall, the pony took fright, and Saich, being unable to re-
tain his hold on the bridle, it galloped off, the shrieks of
the child frightening the animal !till more. The poor
child soon fell, and one foot hanging in the stirrup-leather,
was dragged along to near the Lodge gate at Bigod's,
where he was released by Mr. Woodbridge's servant, but
died almost immediately. Both corroner and jury were
incredulous as to the statement (in which Saith persisted)
that he had hold of the bridle at the time the pony started ;
.and Samuel Bush, groom to F. Woodbridge, Esq., who
picked the child up, said he passed them about 10 minutes
before, when Saich had hold of the child's leg, but not of
the pony. He subsequently admitted that he had been
riding behind the child, hut got off before the accident.
The latter part of the statement, however, was not credited.
Mr. Salt, surgeon, who was called in to the deceased, de-
scribed the extensive injuries which he found upon the
body, and which, with probably concussion .of the brain,
were the cause of death. After the jury had returned
their verdict, the coroner told Saich that the gentlemen
had no doubt the poor boy was " accidentally killed," but
that they (lid not believe his statement of the occurrence.

TRIAL. OF W—HENDERSON, SEAMAN OF THE BARQUE
MARY RAY, FOR MURDER.—(From the Penang Gazette,
June 21.)—0n Wednesday last the court was occupied
with the trial, which lasted upwards of four haurs, of W.
Henderson, a seaman lately belonging to the barque Mary
Ray, Ellwood, master, of Liverpool, who was arraigned
for the wilful murder of his shipmate, John Murray-, on the
high seas, on the morning of the 6th of May. We give
a brief outline of the facts as they transpired during the
trial. On the morning of Alav 6 deceased, John Murray,

was relieved at the wheel, the land being in sight nt
the time, be said generally, " That is Plantain Island."
Prisoner said, " T believe you know nothing about it."
Murray then replied, " I am not alluding to you,
mind your own business." This was followed by

in a scuffle; and Henderson striking the deceased with
his open hand on the face. Henderson then went

to the chief Officer ; on his return he
