intended to emphasize her known sp'
prevail Of the ministerial foreign policy.

and Princess of Wales, Prince Leopold,
the Duke and Duchess of Connaught
| the Princess Beatrice, and perhaps the
| Duke and Duchess Of Edinburgh, now
in Paris, will be present at the ceremony.
| The Queen proceeds in state from Buck
| ingham Palace TO Parliament but drives
there direct by the Park route, having
refused to lass through rhe streets, re-
mem bering her last unfriendly reception.
She remains in London one plight, and
returns to Osborne on Friday.
Minister Lowell is expected In fort
night. He will present his letters and
have an audience with the Queen at Os-
borne. He will then return to Madrid
and fetch his wife, whose health, after
eight months severe illness, is daily
mending. She will probably be unable
to bear the London climate. Mr.. Low
ell intends 70 find q suitable seaside place
for her, perhaps the Isle of Wight, while
he temporarily takes q house IN London
himself. Society is preparing to give
Mr.. Lowell q brilliant reception. A let
ter, to day, from an important coultry
house, says much eagerness is eX-
pressed to know both Lowell and his
works. Tom Hughes is giving readings
to guests from LowelPs poems. His dip
lomstic colleagues will send coDgratula-
tions. The German ambassador declares
that he is most DESTROYS 70 give Mr..

rying out the Emperor's and Prince Bis

good relations with America. The Mac
Milans announce a new edition of Low
ell's poems, in three volumes, with the
authors approval and editorship.

Gus letters are published daily. Mr..
Preece, the postal electrician, sttempted
a defense, which IS pronounced unsstis-
factory and parliamentary inquiry is
urged.
The Duchess of Edinburgh, although
several days in Paris, omitted to call on
Madame Grevy. The French consider
this marked discourtesy, and intended
to diseredit the republic socially. The
duchess excuses herself on the ground of
her mothers illness, but she appears in
rank Ronapartist houses.
The Queens request that Sir Evelyn
Wood should accompany the ez-EmpIess
Eugenie to Zuldlaud is similarly inter-
preted in France.
Two fresh volumes of Seniors CONVEX
sations contain damaging disclosures re-
gardiDg the late Emperor. Gen. Chan

bourg in abject terror, under carriage.

was never under fire at Magenta or Sol
fernoi. Extraordinary accounts are

firm the worst previous accusations.
Smith, Elder g. Co. announce the fifth
and last volume Of Martins "Life of the
Prince CODsort" early in March.
Lord Beaconsfeld presided at the cab
met meeting to day. It is reported, to.
day, at the Carlton Club, that the lead
ing question under discussion was the
tone and terms of the Queens speech, the
near approach Of the Time 70 for the Tesg
alive that an agreement should be reached
at once in relation to the matter. The
cabinet is by no means unit concerning
the policy to be suggested by the speech
in reference to the principal isaues raised
by the condition of the country and by
the complications in foreign affairs. but it
| is believed that Lord Beaconsfeld's inhu-
ence will prove sufficient 10 bring about q
concensus of opinion. Lord Salisbury
was absent, and although he is known 10
have been recently i'll, it is whispered
| among the clubs that he made an unnec-
essary Use of his bronchitis to evade being
present at a meeting where his opposition
| to the premier will only end in defeat
| for himself. 1t Is learned from an
authoritative source that the Queen:
speech will inform Parliament that s
treasury grant is needed for the relic

ton during the session of measure abol
ishing premogeniture entail al. the option
of existing owners, under guarantee tina
if the land Is sod part payment Is t
be given, with deferred interests. TIT
message also expresses the hope that Par
lament will conclude the consideration
of the criminal code bill and other meas
u!es, notably the bill amending the bank
ruptcy laws and the redistribution of tn
six vacant seats. The message will spea
| hopefully of the prospects of trade l
: Great Britain, and special mention will
made Of the prosecution of the Afgha
campaign, but cara will be taken not
, indicate any scheme the ministers ma
have under consideration for the final Sc
: tlemeEt of affairs in Afghanistan. I'll
