LONDON, Feb. ,. In proceeding to ST. Paul's |
church on the 9th, to be present at the thanks
giving ceremonies fixed for that day, her majes-
ty will for the first time deviate from the custo-
mary route along the Strand and Fleet street,
via Charing Cross and Temple Bar. The royal
procession will traverse on that occasion the
new Thames embankment facing Westminster
to new Blackfriars bridge which, with the in
termediate bridges, embankment, gardens, and
the public and many private buildings facing
the river, will be decorated with flags, flowers

of the same journal advocates this course lie
suggests as precedent what he assumes TO be

United States, and advises England to follow the
example of America.
The Daily News says it has reason to believe
that the claims of the United States for indirect
damages have been declared out of the ques-
ton, and maintains that this opinion is backed
by the undivided sentiment of the country.
Nothing has been published of the cabinet dis

any action has been taken by the government.
All dispatches TO the continent and to America
protesting TO give accounts of the proceedings in
the cabinet on this question are pronounced by
the Reuter- agency without foundation. They
are mostly made up of irresponsible newspaper
statements.

The number of emigrantS who sailed from
Liverpool in the month of january exceeds that

carpenters and masonS..
