QUEEN VICTORIA. preparations are
being made 10 England for the celebration OF
the Queens birthday (to-day.) Young Prince
Arthur will be made Duke of Conuaught
and will be the first English Prince who
has been favored with an Irish title. The
Queen will also be congratulated to-day Oh
another pleasant event. Her daughter, Alice
Maud Mary, the wife of Prince Louis of Hesse
Darmstadt, has presented her husband with
another daughter But few queens have reign
ed in civilized countries who have been blessed
with 80 many grandchildren as Victoria has
been, and she is far from being an aged wo-
man. The little princess whose birth the ca
BILE announces is the twenty-third or twenty
fourth living grandchild. Princess Alice was
married in 1862 at the age Of nineteen, and is
now the mother of six daughters and one son.
The Queens birth day will be appropriately
celebrated by the English settlers in Virginia,
at Richmond to-day.

TUE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.-The Civil Rights
bill was passed by the Senate on Saturday
morning after an all. night session, by vote OF
% yeas to Is nays. Messrs. Boreman, Gar
renter and Lewis were the only Republicans
who voted 10 the negative. The name OF MIR.
Schurz does not appear on either side. A
Washington dispatch says it is doubtful whether
the bill will be reached in the House Of Repre-
sentatives, although there is clear majority
in favor of it. The bill provides:
That all citizens and other persons within the
jurisdiction of the United States shall be en-
titled to the full and equal enjoyment OF the ac-
oommodations, advantages, facilities, and PRIV
ilepes Of inns, public conveyances on land or
water, theaters, and other places OF pubic
amusement; and also of common schools and
public institutions of learning or benevolence
supported in whole or 10 part BY general taxa
ton; and also institutions Known as agrlcuItu-
raj colleges, endowed by the United States;
and of cemeteries SO supported; subject only to
the conditions and limitations established BY
law, and applicable alike to citizens OF every
race and color, regardless OF any previous con-
dition Of servitude. go
That DO citizen possessing all other quafca-
tioDs which are or may be prescribed by law
shall be disqualified for service as grand or
petit juror in any court of the United States,
or of any State, on account Of race, color, or
previous condition of servitudc; and any officer
or other person charged with any duty IN the
selection or summoniug of jurors who shall ex-
clude or fail to summon any citizen for the
cause aforesaid shall, on conviction thereof, be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and be hned
not more than 81 900.
That all cases arising under the provisions OF
this act in the courts of the United States shall
be renewable by the Supreme Court of the
United States without regard to the SUN IL
controversy, under the same provisions and
regulations as are now provided By law for the
review of other causes in said court
The bill now goes to the House, where it will
take its place upon the calendar, and unless
taken up out of its ORDER which will require q
two-thirds vote, can hardly pass this session.
A bill of similar character has been matur-
ed by the judiciary Committee of the House,
and will soon be reported in that body. As
was stated in Saturdays Gazette, should the
Senate bill pass the House, there are doubts
expressed as to whether it would receive the
approval of the President, who, is said by those
who profess to know to be at heart opposed to it;
but whether he will be able to withstand the
pressure that will be brought to bear, is ques-
tionable, though veto would strengthen him
not only at the South, but in the Middle and
some of the Western States.
