A Royal Visitor.

A generation has passed since the
Queen of England paid visit to one OF
her Ministers at his country residence.
In the year 1S43 it was great event
when Victoria travelled in state to Dray-
ton Manor, the home of Sir Robert Peel,
then Premier of England. Since then
Cabinets have come and gone, and Min
listers have been elevated and dismissed,
but not until the 18th of December,
1877, has the residence of Premier
been honored by her Majesty's presence.
Disraeli, the author of novels, Beacons-
field, the orator and statesman, has GER
tainly reason to consider himself highly
honored by this token of kindly regard.
Hughenden Manor, his property by mar
riage, is visible on a clear day from the
towers of Windsor Castle. 1t is de-
scribed as one of those large Tudor
buildings, such as "Bess of Hardwicke"
scattered about the north country. 1t
is high, with gabled screens on the roof,
endless screens of endless variety, and
small windows curiously mullioned IN a
horseshoe form. The Queen received
an address of welcome from the Mayor
of High Wycombe, planted a tree at
Hughenden, lunched with the Earl OF
Beaconsfield, and returned home. The
London papers, commenting upon the
visit, were careful to state that it had
no political significance or bearing upon
the war, but was only an afternoon call,
and such probably is correct view OF
it. If any thing is shown, it is only thai
the Queen retains confidence in her CHIEF
adviser.

The funeral of the late King Victor
Emanuel took place at Rome on the
18th. The funeral cortege, composed
principally of military, was an hour and
half in passing. In the official por-
ton of the procession were the Crown
Prince of Germany, with representa-
tives of Austria, Portugal and Baden,
who walked abreast. The services were
held in the Pantheon, which was splen-
didly decorated. The ecclesiastical
service was confined to single absolu-
ton and benediction, pronounced by
Mons. Gori, arch-priest of the Chapter
of the Church.

I. H. JULIAN, Editor.

Count ZIcHY, Austrian Ambassador
at Constantinople, informed the Turk
ish Foreign Minister, Server Pasha,
previous to the departure of the latter
to Kasanlik to negotiate for an armis-
tice, that he had received instructions
from Vienna that Austria could not pre-
vent the conclusion of an armistice
on basis of peace prelimi-
naries, but that, as signatory
of the Treaty of Paris, Austria would
not recognize apeace concluded with
out her assent to its different points.
This communication, says correspond
ent at Constantinople, is regarded as a
sign that there is an understanding be-
tween England and Austria.

ported in open ears. The weather was in
tensely cold, and severe snow
storm set in. Many were in
furnishing condition, and the relief commits
tees could not adequately provide for the
wants of so many. Hundreds persisted from
cold and lack of nourishment. Mothers are
reported, in their frenzy, to have thrown
away living babies, rather than see them die
In their arms.

The English Parliament met on the
18th. The Queens speech is princi-
pally devoted to the war and the efforts
now being made to terminate it. Hither-
to, she says, neither of the belligerents
has infringed the conditions on which
England's neutrality is founded, and she
believes that both are DESTROYS to respect
them as far as lie in their power. Should
hostilities continue, however, she can
not conceal it from herself that some
unexpected occurrence may render it
incumbent upon her to adopt measures
of precaution, and she trusts to the lib
erality of Parliament to supply the
means to make adequate preparation
for such an emergency.
