We have /town to anticipate that the general wish regarding the entry of the Guards will be complied with, and that those troops will march from the Waterloo Station to Buckinabam Palace. The inhabitants of the Metropolis will thus have every opportunity of doing honour to the Guards, notwithstanding the attempt of the Quartermaster-General to make the demonstration one of little more than suburban proportions. The Fusilier Guards having arrived today, the ceremony will probably take place on an early day net week.—Globe, July 4, It is not improbable that the prorogation of Parliament will take place on Thursday the 24th instant ; the Ministerial white-bait dinner, in all likelihood, taking place on Saturday the 19th.—Glode.

THE BELLOT TESITMONIAL.-Sir Roderick Murchison, as chairman of the Committee of the Bellot Testimonial Fund, has published the result of its labours, in a letter to the Times. "The subscription, with interest, amounted to 22811. 178. 8d. of which the sum of 16101. 12s: lld, has been divided amongthe five unmarried sisters- of the deceased, the remainder having been expended upon an obelisk of po- lished Aberdeen granite designed gratuitously by Mr. P. Hardwick, B.A. The site of this obelisk, obtained through the liberality of the Commis- sioners of Greenwich Hospital, will, it is hoped, be generally approved.

Deem or LORD Conx.--The Earl of Cork and Orrery, a soldier of dis- tinction fifty years ago, "a landlord beloved by his Irish peasantry," died on Sunday. Born in 1767 he entered the Army in 1785, and served in the campaign in Flanders and the expedition to Egypt. For his services in Egypt he received a medal and one clasp. He was a general officer before the campaigns in the Peninsula, and he was incapacitated by his rank from serving in the war. As a politician, he gave a steady and silent support to the Liberal party. His eldest son died in 1834, leaving as heir to the dike and estates of the family the late Member for Frome.

The German literati are astonished at the strength of the "Professor's head—he always takes a battle of spirits after dinner besides doing his duty by the wines placed be- fore the general company, and it never causes any mental inconvenience.

"The Great City Frauds." In our last number we told in brief the story which this volume tells at full length, and therefore in more ample and in- teresting form.

Cobbett " informs the Times that ten van-loads—ten tons—of meat were spoilt in Newgate Market last Monday; the owners having held it over from the preceding week, in preference to selling it at anything below the present exorbitant rate.

The "right of petition" is very freely exercised in Russia. It is not impossible that eight or ten years must elapse before the subjects of the vast number of petitions presented to the Emperor during his journey into Fin- land can be inquired into and settled—if they are ever settled.

Even when at Berlin theEmperor could not escape from the importunate at- tentions of his " children," who asked for all sorts of favours.
