[srxc1AL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD by CABLE.
LONDON, May 9, 1876.
At length Queen Victoria is officially proclaimed
Empress OF India-proclaimcd too after the avorite
trumpeters went forth. and the sheris read the de-
cree at the Royal Exchange, at Charing Cross and
the Townhall, Brenuord.
THE SCOTCH CEREMONY.
was made at Edinburgh Cross. The Scotch cere-
mony was most picturesque, and was conducted by
the heralds pursuivants and the Queens trumpeter
for Scotland, Duke OF Albany Ills Royal Highness
Duke Of Edinburghl, who read the proclamation,
which was responded to by the Marquis OF Butte as
pursuivant.
GRAND SPECTACLE.
The anair created great stir and attracted an
ussemblage Of almost unequalled brilliancy.
Thousands OF the Scottish nobility attended with
their suites and equipages. Since the days OF the
Prince Consort Her Majesty has been great favor
ite in the North and tits doubtful II the loyal Scots
would refuse the sovereign anything that did not
absolutely amount to curtallment OF the liberties
Of the masses. The gorgeous uniforms OF the mill
tary and rich attire OF the ladies united in forming
one Of the most interesting spectacles.
THE HERALDs
wore the regular insignia Of their ONCE and the
pursuivants carried the mace and other emblcms
Of ancient authority.
THE GUARD OF HONOR.
A detachment OF the Seventy ninth Highlanders,
one OF the finest Scotch regiments of the llne
formed the guard or honor, having full ba nd at
its head, all dressed in kilt and long tunic.
LOWE REPENTs.
Ex-Chancelor Of the Exchequer Lowe has made
. speech at Retford, in which he almost abjectly

though she was unsuccessful then, she has since

eyes Of her people, 1t must be considered an act
almost without parallel.
The Boston forger, winslow and the extradition
treaty between this country and the United States
continue to be widely discussed here by the press
and the people. In some instances the feeling is
strong that the British government has assumed an
untenable position, and that its objections win not
stand as Viewed by the text Of the treaty. It Is
believed in Official circles that the prisoner will
finally be surrendered to the officers sent here to
secure him for trial In Massachusetts,.
THE EASTERN QUESTION.
There was glimpse OF peace In the announce
ment OF the Imperial Conference at Berlin, and
this with the extreme abundance OF money and the
absence Of all other disquetng political news, has
exercised cheering influence on the bourses OF
Europe.
STOCKS HIGHER
Danublan securities rose ten per cent. Russian,
Turkish, Egyptian and other stocks are all stronger
The great feature Of the market during the week,
however was the advance In the price OF consols,
which reached figure that has not been equalled
since 1859.
AMERICAN SECURITIES.
American '.governmentsr have steadily held their
own Notwithstanding the extradition squabble.
American railroad stocks and bonds have been
rather depressed, caused probably by rumors from
New York and elsewhere.
ENGLISH MORALITY IN COURT.
London society Is tittering just now over a re-
markabIe and unique divorce case, during the trial
OF which the Judge assumed threatening air, con-
demning in uncquivocal language the present tone
OF English morality. This is considered an unworthy
exhibition OF judicial wrath, especially where they
