As happiest hearts at times will yearn To tread again youth's flowerer ytraek : The true heart's Mother Lodge is found , Where truest , fondest hearts conspire , To draw love ' s deathless chain around ; And kindle up love ' s deathless fire . Methinks that heredear friend must be

The Week.

THE WEEK .

THE COURT . —Her Majesty ' s ship St . George arrived at Queenstown ou Tuesday from Bermuda , with prince Alfred on board . His Royil Highness at once proceeded to Cork , and left that city the same evening en route for Osborne , where he arrived on Wednesday . In two touching letters the Queen has signified her wishes respecting the form the National Albert Memorial should lake , and expressed a desire to be permitted to

join with her subjects in rearing a fitting monument to tho deceased Prince . Her Majesty has come to- the conclusion that " nothing would be more appropriate , provided it is on a scale of sufficient grandeur , than an obelisk , to be erected in Hydepark , on the site of the Great Exhibition of 1851 , or on some spot immediately contiguous to it . " Her Majesty suggests that the base of the obelisk mi ght be decorated with various groups of statuary : and she has called to her assistance a small

committee to aid her in rhs choice of a design , and in nrraiighin- for the execution of tho details . The letter in which the Queen claims the privilege of contributing towards the realization of this great work , is a most affecting document . "She is aware that she could not with any propriety contribute , as a wife , to a monument to her husband ; but she is also ihes Sovereign of this great empire , and , as such , she cannot but think she . ' . nay be allowed to join with the nation in the expression of a nation ' s

gratitude to whom it owes so much . " No one knew , as the Queen knows , how his every thought was devoted to the country ; " and it is added , that " 3 iis untiring exertions in furtherance of these objects tended , hi all probability , to shorten his precious life . "

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT . —In the House of Lords on Thursday , 20 th inst ., tho Committee on unopposed railway bills was reappointed . On Friday Lord Truro took up tho cudgels on behalf of Lord Ranelagh , whose ambition to command the volunteers at Brighton on Easter Monday has been frustrated by " official interference . " We gather from Lord Truro ' s remarks that there are two great volunteer camps in the metropolis—the Elcho and the Ranelagh camp . The noble

camp Lord charged Lord De Grey with favouring the pretensions of Lord Elcho , while Lord Ranelagh " had had a most unworthy slight passed upon him . " He deprecated Government interference with such displays ; and although " every volunteer would feel it an honour to serve under Lord Clyde , he regretted that the noble and gallant Lord had allowed himself to be made use of in this manner , and hoped the Government was not

commencing a practice of refusing large commands to volunteer officers . " Lord De Grey repelled the charge of favouritism , and stated that the rules lai ' d down hy the War Office with respect to field days would be adhered to . He submitted that volunteer officers—who were allowed to command brigades—" would bo more likely to learn how to handle large forces under an experienced general than by their own unassisted efforts . " After a few remarks from Lord Hardinge , the subject dropped .

On Monday another hill—the sixth introduced this sessiondealing with the subject of titles to land , was brought in by Lord St . Leonard ' s , and was read a first time . On Tuesday Lord Derby gave notice of his intention to bring under the notice of their Lordships an extraordinary proclamation , said to have been published in the Neapolitan papers . " The proclamation , '' said the noble Earl , " sets forth that , after a certain day no person shall set foot in a certain district . ; that all houses , or hovels and cabins , of every description , are to be levelled to the ground ; and that the inhabitants of everv farmhouse , in which

more than a clay ' s food is found , shall be treated as brigands , and shot . " Lord Russell stated that he had no information of the publication of such an order , but Lord Derby offered to supply him with a copy . In the House of Commons on Thursdav , the 20 th inst ., the Under-Secretary for the Colonies confirmed the reports of the almost fabulous mineral wealth of British Columbia , official accounts of which are about to be laid the tableThe gold-fields arehoweverremote from the

Gray offered no opposition to the motion , and said that they should also acquiesce iu

Major Edward ' s motion for the issuing of a writ for Wakefield . Mr . Disraeli considered that no other course was open to the Government , and proceeded to argue that the temporary disfranchisement of Gloucester had been arbitrary aud unconstitutional , inasmuch as no legislation on the subject had taken place .
