QUEENS JUBILEE CELEBRATION.
The queen has decided that st. Paul's
Cathedral, and not Westminster Abbey, shall
be the great central scene of the functions
associated with the jubilee accession fetes
in June next. Westminster Abbey was se-
lected for her majesty's jubilee on account
of it's association with her coronation. The
progress Of the queen and all the European
royalties from buckingham palace to st.
Paul's will be possibly one Of the grandest
spectacles of its kind the world has ever
witnessed.

to Australia and home ward via India is
under consideration by the government.

| A MYSTERIOUS LADY.
| Foremost among the demands which
some of the Irish members mean to make
| upon the government is one for an inquiry
into the relations between lyman and the
| British police. The government Will, as
matter of course, refuse to allow the Irish
members and the public to get full in
| sight into their methods Of dealing with
the dynamite conspirators; but the debate
arising on the demand will lead to some
| interesting disclosures, and something def
inite will be heard of the mysterious Mrs
Tyler, who, Mr.. James O'Connor, NJ. p,
says has acted as Intermediary between
lyman aud the Scotland Yard authorities.
This lady has already figured in par
liamentary debates as intimately connected

communicated with Mrs Tyler. She is
now said TO be In London.

| Will have prominent interest.
