The QUEEN walked in the Castle Grounds this morn;
The DUKE OF EDINBURGH, LOUISE, of Lorne
The Princess, and the Marquis with his bride,
For Town left Windsor after this noon-tide.
PRINCE ARTHUR, by SIR HOWARD ELPHINSTONE
Attended, went to Dover, too, anon.
Right Honourable GLADSTONE here has been
To-day, and had an audience of the QUEEN,
The Premier, after that, remained to lunch,
The dinner-party included _Mr. Punch_.
Other intelligence, miscellaneous or special, could be couched in
lyrical measures. Take a specimen of a money article:--
The English funds, this blessed day,
Have no fresh movement known,
Save of one-eighth a rise had they,
Which could not hold its own.
Consols so little looked alive,
As quoted but to be
At ninety-two one half, to five--
Eighths, for delivery.
Excitement did the day throughout
The Railway Market thrill;
Shares have been briskly pushed about,
And prices risen still.
A hundred thousand pounds in gold
Came, at the Bank, to hand,
And much for discount there, behold!
Increased was the demand.
