Bradford, prices have downward inclination,
and will be lower before they recover. In Biz

nearly as bad In fact all our manufacturing towns
are dull to degree.

Our young Queen continues to give the public
press ample matter for record and speculation.
One would think she was non-such, so highly
do they speak of her. She is now at Brighton
a place which she never saw until now. She was
received by 100000 people. Her entry was I'M
der triumph h,-then the authorities read
laudatory addresses-then g Her Majesty the
Queen was pleased to make most gracious re-
ply,"-then the cannon from the ships Numbered
away,-then the royal lady was allowed to go on,
her carriage progressing at funeral pace ,-then
she nodded "most condescendingy to all the
people,-then they shouted, then she nodded
the more, like Chinese Mandarin in a grocery
then she reached the Pavilion,-and finally, she
dined. Oh, this royalty is tiresome thing!
The Brightonians give her Majesty no rest
Poor thing! they watch her as Argus watched the
cattle. The moment she goes out for her morn
ing ride, crowds bese her. press on her horse, and
. frighten steed and rider. This piece of ill-man-
ners they call ''loyalty." Then the London pa
tell what the Queen does, whittier she goes how
she looks, and what she wears. One would think
that the welfare of the empire depended on the
knowledge of such facts these:
" Her Majesty rode on the upper road
Her Majesty had, we thought, shade Of
paleness on her royal countenance this morning.
Her Majesty usually wears green riding ha-
bit on horseback, and round hat without veil or
feather!''
! Such are the nofabiid connected with the
Queen, which the London papers, from the high
est to the lowest-from the Times to the Morning
Chronicle-fnd it worth while to record.
England always has some mania. In 1891 it
was The Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but
the Bill" In 1887, it is the g Youthful Queen
But if, as is very probable the Queen should find
it advisable to dismiss the present Cabinet, we
shall see all this lip-loyalty veer of,-even as it
did when the late King was the object of it. Adu-
lation is always unstable and nsincere.
Queen Victoria is about taking a naval excur-
sion from Brighton to Portsmouth or Plymouth
running down, very probably, to Dieppe or Bou-
logne, before she comes back to an English port
The vessels will be ready for her reception in
few days.
The Duchess Of Kent continues to reside with
her daughter, but is supposed not to interfere with
her as regards the business Of Royalty. Exten-
sive alterations are in progress in Buckingham
Palace, to which the Queen will return on No
veneer I. These alterations are chiefly in the
apartments allotted to the Duchess of Kent
| 1t is believed that when, at the ensuing session.
Parliament will fix the annual amount of the Civ
il List, the Pension List will be cut down to the
tune Of 100000, and large increase demanded
in the allowance to the Duke of Sussex and Ouch
ess of Kent. AS if g26,OOO and 100000 per
annum were insufficient for them! If this boon
be granted, Parliament will be asked Git is report
ed to pay the large debts Of the Queens uncle and
mama. They are said to amount to g2OO, 900.
The Queen will attend at Guildhall, on No
vember 9th, and partake of the grand dinner then
and there to be given her by the city of London.
The most ample preparations are in progress.
The mere fitting up of Guildhall will cost $4O,-
900. Seats in the line of route are already be-
spoken, at from five shillngs to five guineas. AL
derman Cowan will be the new Lord Mayor, and
Of course the Queen will create him baronet.
In 1914, when the Allied Sovereigns and the
Prince Regent dined at Guildhall, the Prince.
when proposing the health of the Lord Mayor,
said that he had directed patent of baronetcy to
be made out for him. In 1922, when in Scot
land, George ". dined with the Corporation off
Dublin, and when he gave the health of Mr.. Ar
buthnot, the Lord Provost, said, q propose the
health Of Sir William Arbuthnot, Baronet" The
Queen is expected to follow the last precedent.
When the Queens health is proposed she does
not return thanks: etiquette forbids it! But Lord
Melbourn will return thanks for her.
