( tAVO Horse Artillery and five Field Batteries ) , Avere under arms and marched past Her Majesty in grand style . The Aveather A \ 'as not as favourable as could be Avished , and consequently the brilliancy of the scene Avas someAvhat marred ; but there was a business-like air about the Avhole of tho

Highness , presentations to him , by special directions of the Queen , being deemed equivalent to presentations to Her Majesty . During their stay in Paris , their Iloyal Highnesses have been apparently making the most of their time , and this Aveek the chief event in their honour has
been the Grand Ball given by the British Ambassador Lord Lyons . Invitations were issued to 1500 guests , and the Embassy Avas magnificently arranged for the reception of the Royal personages in Avhose honour it Avas given . The Prince , Avith the Princess and her brother the Crown
Prince of Denmark , have also assisted at the uncovering of the case of jewels in the Indian Collection of His Royal Highness , the case having been damaged and therefore having till the occasion referred to been hidden from the public .

It gives us great pleasure to be able to announce that the ceremony of betrothing His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught to the Princess Louise Margaret , third
daughter of Prince Frederick Charles ot Prussia , was publicly held afc Darmstadt this Aveek . We trust the marriage now in contemplation will be a source of happiness both to the Dnke and his fair betrothed . Thero are now
only two of the Queen ' s children unmarried , namely , Prince Leopold and the Princess Beatrice . It is Avith regret Ave announce the sudden death from apoplexy of Mrs . Bright the second wife of the Right Hoib
ourable John Bright , M . P . With her usual considerate kindness the Queen on hearing of the event afc once telegraphed to the right honourable gentleman , expressing Her Majesty ' s deep sympathy witli him in his bereavement .
There has been some very serious rioting in Lancashire , arising out of the great Cotton Strike . On Monday the Masters' Association held a special Meeting , for the purpose of receiving a deputation from the men , who attended for
tho purpose of submitting certain proposals for a termination of the struggle . The terms , however , Avere short of what the Masters had fixed , and the several arrangements proposed were rejected . As soon as this was known , the greatest excitement prevailed , and especially at Blackburn ,
