The Queen has signified her gracious pleasure to command a per- formance at Drury Lane Theatre on Monday next, the first state visit since Mr. Macready has been the lessee. A communication to that effect was forwarded to the theatre from the offic9 of the Lord Chain - berlain on Thursday-, and a list of pieces was sent for her Majesty's selection.—Morning Chronicle.

The House of Commons met on Thursday ; but only thirty-eight Members being present, the Speaker adjourned the House till next day.

The Commission for the Health of Towns assembled at Gwyder House, Whitehall, on Thursday the 1st June, for the first time ; and will continue their sittings on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.— Court Circular.

The Datchess of Inverness, accompanied by one gentleman, repaired to the Kensall Green Cemetery on Saturday evening, to choose a site for the mausoleum to contain the remains of the Duke of Sussex. The Reverend Mr. Twigg the Chaplain, and Mr. Farley the Super- intendent of the cemetery, waited on the Datchess. The spot selected is the centre of the great quadrangle fronting the chapel ; which com- mands a view of the whole cemetery, and is itself visible for many miles round.

The Marquis of Normanby, who is at Naples, is prevented from re- turning to England by continued indisposition. His medical advisers have recommended him to go to the baths of Ischia.

The widow of the late lamented Bishop Heber has again married. Her husband is a French Roman Catholic gentleman.—Morning Post.

Mr. Goulburn has lost his eldest son, Mr. Henry Goulburn, aged thirty-one ; who died at his father's official residence in Downing Street, on Thursday morning.

In a letter to the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University, Dr. Posey states, that after his sermon was condemned, he had had some commu- nications with the Vice-Chancellor, which the latter desired to be kept private : he felt it his duty to ascertain that nothing in his protest had violated that injunction of secrecy ; and after the communications had finished, he received from the Vice-Chancellor this message—" Dr. Pusey has my full authority for saying that he has had no hearing." Dr. Posey repeats, that if he had been heard he must have been ac- quitted.

An address, numerously signed by resident members of Convocation and Bachelors of Civil Law, has been presented to the Vice-Chancel- lor, requesting him to make known the grounds on which the sentence on Dr. Pusey was passed, that they might know what statements of doctrine it was intended "to mark as dissonant from or contrary to the doctrine and discipline of the Church of England as publicly received."

"The summer set in with its usual severity," or worse ; and the state of the weather has begun to occasion some uneasiness. In England, North and South, May has been wet, windy, and cold ; and the Kent Herald states that on the 29th there was ice in exposed situations. There appears as yet, however, to be no certain proof of injury. A correspondent of the Times says that the crops are now in the best condition, though warmer and dryer weather is wanted ; and as the week has advanced some improvement in the sky has given promise that the want will be supplied. Haymaking has already begun about the Metropolis. From Scotland the accounts are not so favourable ; and in the Lothians there has been actual loss in the potato crop, from the rotting of the seed. Ireland has no better report. In the West, "agricultural operations are at a stand" : such an opening of June has not been witnessed for many years. In the North, the level lands are flooded, and the seed is in danger of rotting. "A week or two more of rain might produce well grounded alarm." Similar apprehensions have began to arise on the Continent—in Germany, France, and Spain—from the ungenial weather, and especially from the unusual wetness.
