The Week.
THE WEEK .
The Indian news continues satisfactory , General Outram having been successful in an engagement with the mutineers ; and no further risings are noticed . Affairs begin to be of greater interest in the Chinese seas ; and the English and French envoys , have delivered their ultimatum , which , as it was not likely to be attended to , would be doubtless the prelude to active operations against Canton . Two sepoy regiments , who will be safer in China than India , had been despatched to reinforce the English forces . In France arrests of individuals and repressive measures against the press continue , as the natural consequence of the
late attempt against the life of the Emperor . At home the royal marriage has completely set aside everything else ; and the west end of London has exhibited a scene of animation rarely witnessed even in the height of the season . The royal bride and bridegroom proceeded to Windsor after their nuptials , where they remained until Friday , when they returned to town , and were present at the performance of Sheridan ' s " Rivals , " under the direction of Bro . Bucks tone , at the Opera House , in the evening , being accompanied by her Majesty and a large party of her royal and distinguished visitors . The reception of the prince and princess was most enthusiastic . On Saturday there was a drawing-room , when a
large number of congratulatory addresses were presented to their royal highnesses ; the only body who appear to have omitted doing so being the Freemasons . Had the Craft any voice in calling together a Grand Lodge , we are sure they would not have allowed our distinguished Brother to quit our shores without paying him an equal compliment to that which every other class of her Majesty ' s subjects took a pleasure in doing . The royal pair left England on Tuesday , amidst the greetings of the people—greetings to be repeated as heartily when they arrive in the bridegroom ' s fatherland . In the commercial world but little has been doing . The Brighton Railway Company has declared a dividend of 4 per cent ., and the North Staffordshire 4 per cent .
