The Queen went to see the Great Britain steam-ship, at Blackwell, on Teesday. Woolwich was dressed out in the customary way, with soldiers, pensioners, and pups, flap and music. The Earl of Haddington, First Lord of the Admiralty, and Captain William Gordon' With the naval and military authorities of the station, were on the spot to receive her Majesty; a great concourse of spectators being assembled. The Queen and Prince Albert drove up at a quarter before three o'clock, and were received with the usual demonstrations of loyalty. The Queen wore a plain silk dress, a Paisley shawl, and a light blue bonnet; Prince Albert was dressed in plain clothes. The Royal pair were conveyed in all Admiralty- barge on board the Dwarf steamer, and proceeded to Blackwell; the Lord Mayor, as Conservator of the Thames, going before ma City barge towed br a steamer. A fleet of steamers bearing spectators accompanied the chief vesseL The Earl of Haddington and Captain Gordon had hastened on board the Great Britain in a diflbrent boat, and stood ready, with several Directors of the Great Britain Steam- ship Company, Lieutenant Hosken the commander, engineers, and other gentle- men connected with the steam-ship, to receive her Majesty. A number of ladies related to those gentlemen were on board; but with that exception, no visiterS were permitted to be there during the Royal visit. On approaching the enor- mous ship, the Dwarf went round it, to afford a view of its exterior. Having *rine on board, the Queen and Prince paced its. deck, and its immense length 2 feet, one third longer than the longest shipaif the line) was pointed oat to em; models of the engines and of the screw-propeller were shown, then the en- gines; themselves, of 1,000 horse-power the di • 5-room—with mirrors so arranged as to make its space seem almoseboundless— e promenade-saloon, and the state-room; in short, all that was to be seen. And the ship was not adorned for the occasion, but, except a carpet or two here and there, was exhibited in its ordinary state. Mr. T. P. Smith, the patentee of the screw-propeller, was-pre- sented to the Queen, and offered a gold model of the propeller; which was graciously accepted. The reporters record some of the things that fell from the Royal lips. "Her Majesty, just previous to her departure, addressed Captain Hosken, and said, 'I am very much gratified with the sight of your magnificent ship, and I wish you every possible success on your voyages across the Atlantic.' Prince Albert asked when it was intended to start on the voyage; and upon Captain Timken informing his Royal Highness that it would be either the latter end of July or the beginning of August, the Prince remarked, he supposed that Captain Hosken wished-to save the equinox. Captain Hosken replied, that that *as not so much the object as to make one or two voyages as speedily-as possiblerinorder that the public may be perfectly convinced of the safety of the ship." Having spent about three quarters of an hour on board, the Queen and Prince Albert returned to the Dwarf, and so to Woolwich; where reentering their carriages, with cheers and responsive bows, they departel for Buckingham Palace. The remains of the Duke of Sussex, which had been provisionally left in aeault under the chapel of %easell Green Cemetery, were on Monday transferred-to the mausoleum specially erected for their reception in the ground. The Lord Cham- berlain and the Hereditary Grand Chamberlain, suds few of the Duke's personal friends' witnessed the reinterment.

The ninth anniversary of the London Art-Union was held On Tuesday,,

Drury Lane Theatre. The Duke of Cambridge presided the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and several amateurs of influence were presefit;

and the general assemblage of subscribers was numerous. The Chairman stated

that the total subscriptions amounted to 15,0001., an increase of 6001. The 4. port represented the institution to be flourishing. Some difficulties have occiirred

from misapprehensions of Lord ?Jonteagle's act to protect art-unions; but an aet"

to be brought _ in by Mr. Wyse is expected to make all permanently safe. Oe. subscriber had attempted to pervert his prize to purposes of pecuniary profit; but he had been foiled. The prizeholders of last year purchased 2.52 works of art; the number of the Provincial Secretaries is 338. The Grand Duke moved the adoption of the report; which was agreed to; and after some further tontine business, the drawing of the prizes began, and continued for several hours; Mt Bond Cabbell replacing the Royal Chairman during that tedious process& Meetings to declare against the Maynooth endowment are still held. One or fli principal in London was an adjourned meeting of" Protestants of all denim tion.s," at Covent Garden Theatre, on Tuesday. It was not quite so numero attended as the meeting at the same place last week; but the speakers 464 equally fierce. The Reverend J. J. Robinson, Rector of St. Andrew's Holbordi was confirmed in the belief that Popery is damnable idolatry. It was said that the

proposed measure was intended to raise the intellectual standard ef the Roman Catholic priesthood. It was only that very day that a brotherclergymail, who

advocated- the measure, advanced that as his reason; and he said to him, as he nod said to the meeting, what was knowledge without principle? He thought it wai with knowledge as with courage—although it practically perhaps might make st

good man better, it would most certainly make a bad man worse. He did not

mean to say that his conscientious Roman Catholic fellow-subjecte were bed Merit but that, with that bias upon their feelings which belonged to Popish instruction.

every acquisition of knowledge must tend to make them more mischievous to

society. The Reverend A. Tidman, Foreign Secretary to the London Missionary Society, warned Members of Parliament that a day-of reckoning approaches. Thd Reverend C. J. Goodhart, of St. Mary's Chapel, Reading, said that Sir Robert Peel. either did not read his Bible, or, if he read, did not understand his Bible, or if he understood, did not believe his Bible, else he never would have brought forward

this measure for the endowment of Popery. He cared not a straw for the prin- ciples of that man who would take any less foundation or attempt to build on any less established authority than the Bible: but he there found it vrrittea with re- gard to Popery, that they must come out from her; that she was the Babylon, the

mother of harlots and- abominations; that there was found in her the blood of soulsp and that God would be avenged of her. Ile was going on to attack Catholic Erna&

cipation, when he was stopped by some hissing. Mr. Fox Maule availed himself of

the occasion to state, that the Maynooth Bill was not what it pretended to be, bet a bonaftde step towards the endowment of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland,

which he ever would oppose. Mr. John Dean Paul declared that Popery is not only idolatrous, but blasphemous; and in proof he read an extract from a sermon which was delivered by a Burnish priest, Friar Jennings; relate as the month of August last year, in the presence of a titular Romish Archbishop, Dr. ?Allele of Tuam—" Any person vrho practises the reading of the Bible will inevitably fall into everlasting destruction. I would, therefore, my dear friends and followers,

most earnestly beseech you, by the love that you bear to the Virgin Mary and te the Saints—by the love that you bear to the dear priests—not to allow these Bible- readers near your houses, -not to speak to them when you meet them On the roads; but put up your hands and bless yourselves, and pray to God and to the Virgin Mary to keep you from being contaminated by the poison of the Bili The worst of all .pest- ences—the infectious pestilence of the Bible—will entail upon yourselves and children the everlasting ruin of your souls. They who send their children to schools where the Scriptures are read give their children bound in chains to the Devil." Dr. Gray, proprietor • of the Dublin Freeman's Journal, who sat among the reporters, row, as an Irish Protestant, to say that he was well acquainted with both the reverend persons named, and that the charge against them was utterly false: he called upon Mr. Paul to state the name of the publisher of the Sermon. Mr. Paul refused to do so; there was a great uproar; Dr. Gray was first, hustled front

his seat, on which he stood, then from the platform, and finally removed from the meeting by a Policeman. Resolutions, protesting against the grant, against the utter disregard shown by the House of Commons to the petitions, and so fit*, ..t passed unanimously.

In a letter to the Times, Mr. Paul explains that he did not refuse to giviethe publisher's name: "I most distinctly and emphatically declared that I did 141 know the printer's nano, having left the pamphlet from which I read an extra& at my residence in the country; but that I would send it to any one who frigid wish to see it. I now enclose a copy of it. For the information of the public, h- may be bought at W. E. Painter's, 342 Strand; and the title of it is, Poperg *Or - the Old Rebgion."

Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce gave judgment, on Tuesday, on aa informatiete filed by James Kennedy-and certain other communicants of a Scotch Church be St. Peter's Square at Manchester, against the Reverend Alexander Munro, the lit-, cunibent of the church, and other defendants, the trusteeir. The church was esz tablithed under a trust-deed, executed in April 1882, which provided that ie . should be used for Divine worship in connexion with the' Church of &Wind, said I according to the forms of that Church; that the minister shouldhe alicentiate cir ministar of the Established Church of Scotland; and that should the incuriffietif ' ; incur such sentence under any Ecclesiastical Court in Scotland' as would hod. led to his deposition or depretation in that country, it should deprive hire of all power to officiate in the church or receive the eenoluments. Mow Mr. Munro' late ' not only expressed open sympathy with the Free Church, but has been. degree* by a sentence of the Edinburgh Presbytery. The relators therefore prayed. tbr injunction to restrain the trustees from permitting or allowing the church, ; to be used for any other purpose than Divine worship and service in pommeled With and according to the uses of the Established Church of Scotland. The' Motion also prayed for an injunction to restrain several other defendants from eon- , Iveying or assigning any estate or interest in the same church, otherwise than foe the purpose of giving effect to the trusts declared in the deed of April 1882. The . main arguments in- defence- were, that the principle of the Scottish Church id • Self-government; that the views of the Free Church are those of the majority of the &ottish Church; and that Mr. Munro had door nothing to show whether Ile really belonged to the Free Chun* or the Established Church. The Court, riot saftsfledthat Mr. Munro had been legally proved- to have, seceded from the ; Established Chnroh, could not grant the order to the fullextent prayed; but mid& - 1 an order against the trustees substantially to the effect-desired1 with an intim& , don that further proceedings might be instituted to obtain an injunction aping . Mr. Munro.

In the Court of Queen's Bench, on Tuesday, Charles CarusWilson was bc,idi• - Up on a writ of habeas corpus. The Court decided that he was in custody und an order of a competent Court (the Royal Court of Jersey); that it lay with that Court to say what constituted " contempt "; that the contempt might con- sist as much in the manner as in the words uttered; that the defendant ought to make the reparation demanded—that is, to apologize; that if be were aggrieved he could appal to the Queen in Council; but that he must now be remanded to the custody whence he bad been taken. Mr. Wilson showed some disposition to resist the officers of the Court who removed him; but Lord Denman put in a word of authority, and he was taken away.

Allen Kiallmark, a young man of "dandified" appearance, was arrested by the City Police, on Thursday afternoon, on a self-accusation of having been the murderer of Delarue. The avowal was contained in a letter addressed to Mocker; who was told that he should not suffer for the crime of another, as his correspondent had struck the death-blow. The Governor of Newgate of course opened the letter, and the Police searched for the writer of it. They found him at a tavern in Fleet Street, engaged in penning a second letter to the same effect as the first. When questioned by the Sheriffs and Mr. Commissioner Harvey, Kiallmark said he did not know what possessed him to write letters so devoid of truth. He was, however, detained for farther inquiry.

Yesterday, the young man was again brought up at the Mansionhouse; and was sent by the Lord Mayor to Marylebone Police-office, from which Hecker had been committed. It now came out that he is the brother of Mr. Alfred Kiallmark,

teacher of music, with whom he resides, at St. John's Wood. Allen is weak in his mind: he was totally unacquainted with Hooker or Delarue ; and he was at home on the evening of the murder. He was discharged from custody.

James Watson, a boy fifteen years old, a hardened offender, was committed to wise' n from Worship Street Police-office, on Monday, for threatening his father's life. A Police constable, who took charge of the prisoner, said he told him that he should never be happy until he had been the death of his father; and he after- wards said he wished he could do something "to be like Hecker next Monty morning." Four men were convicted of smuggling tobacco, at Greenwich Police-office, on Tuesday, and sentenced to be imprisoned. They were seized in Sea Reach, in a smack; on board of which were 140 bales of tobacco, weighing nearly 8,000 pounds, and, duty included, worth 1,6401. Four officers made this capture, the heaviest seizure of contraband tobacco made in the port of London for many years.
