TILE QUEEN "V. HENRY LEIGH ALLEYNE

This was an indictment at the Warwickshire assizes
against the defendant, charging him with challenging Henry
Power, solicitor, of Atherstone, to tight a duel. Mr. Daniel
and Mr. Mellor were
.counsel for the prosecutor, and Mr.
Sergeant Goulburn- and Mr. Hill, Q.C., appeared for the
defendant. It was a special jury cause, A. F. Gregory, Esq.,
being the forcman.—The jury found a verdict of guilty, and
it was recorded against the defendant ; but no sentence was
passed, as the case is expected to be further heard in the
Court of Queen's Bench.

UNSEEMLY CONDUCT IN A SCOTCH KlRK.—Such has
been the conduct of certain parties in the Steeple Church on
Sunday evenings of late, that it has been considered neces-
sary to introduce a body of police to keep order. We un-
derstand that whiskey is carried thither, and tobacco is
smoked ; in fact all the practices common in the tap-room.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO LAMBETH PALACE, ON
SATURDAY.—HiS Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury re-
ceived the Queen and his Royal Flightless at the grand en-
trance in the quadrangle, on their alighting from the royal
carriage, when Miss Beaumont, the youthful granddaughter
of his grace, presented her majesty with a bouquet of beauti-
ful flowers. Her Majesty then took the arm of the arch-
bishop, Prince Albert at the same time offering to Mrs.
Howley, and the illustrious visitors were then conducted up
the flight.of steps leading to the corridor, and thence to the
boudoir, and afterwards to the principal drawing-room, where
the whole of the guests were assembled to receive the royal
visitors. After going over the ancient and interesting rem-
nants of the original palace, her Majesty and his Royal
Highness returned to the grand drawing-room, and directly
afterwards repaired to the dejeune'in the grand dining-room.
The luncheon was of the most sumptuous description. In
the centre of the table, on an ebony pedestal ornamented with
silver, was placed the massive silver candelabrum, as the in-
scription stated, to be " the gift of her Most Gracious Ma-
jesty Queen Victoria, to his Grace the Most ,Reverend
William Archbishop of Canterbury, on the occasion of her
Majesty's marriage with his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
Feb. 10, 1840." The dessert was of the must recherche-cha-
racter, the strawberries and other fruit being of the choicest
description. The service used was gold. At a quarter to
four the Queen and Prince Albert took their departure, the
Archbishop of Canterbury and Mrs. Howley accompanying
their illustrious guests to the royal carriage, followed by the
Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, &e.
