The Week.

THE WEEK .

THE COUET . —Her Majesty and family have returned from Balmoral , and on Tuesday paid a visit to the Great Exhibition Memorial in the Horticultural Gardens . The Prince of AVales held a Levee at St . James ' s Palace , on Monday , which was one of the most brilliant of the season . In the evening , His Royal Highness ancl the Princess proceeded in state to the

Guildhall , where he honoured the corporation by taking np the freedom of the City that hacl descended to him from his illustrious father . Afterwards , the ball to which their Royal Highnesses had been invited took place . There was an immense crowd lining the streets through which the Eoyal cortege passed ; ancl the weather being fortunately fine all passed off in

the happest manner . The Prince and Princess were received with the most cordial demonstrations of loyalty . —The inauguration of the monument to commemorate the Exhibition of 1851 took place on AVednesday , with as much brilliancy as the uncertain state of the weather would permit . There was a very great concourse of people , roughly estimated at from 12 , 000 to

15 , 000—a large number , considering that the prices of admission ranged fromlSs . to 30 s . Tbe Prince and Princess of Wales and other members of the Royal Family , arrived with their usual punctuality . Those who were to take an active part in the ceremony assembled under the dome of the Exhibition Building , and , forming into procession there , traversed the nave for half its length , when they turned ancl ascended a balcony

erected on tbe south front of the building . On this the Prince of AA * ales received addresses ancl replied to them , ancl then gave the signal for uncovering the monument . The design of the memorial , by Mr . Durham , won general approval . This part of the ceremony over , the procession performed the circuit of the gardens to the continued strains of music , ancl amidst

the applause of the people . The proceedings did not terminate until nearly six o'clock . IMPEEIAL PAELIAMENT . —In the HOUSE OE LOEDS on Thursday , 4 th inst ., Lord Malmesbury intimated his intention of bringing the Brazilian dispute under the notice of their lordships on the 10 th inst . On Friday the business was

unimportant . On Monday the royal assent was given by commission to tbe Customs and Inland Revenue Bill and several other measures . —Lord Ellenborough made another speech on the Polish question . The noble Earl submitted that it would be a wise and prudent course on the part of Russia to concede the independence of Poland , ancl to erect that country into a separate

kingdom under the sceptre of a member of the House of Romanoff . He condemned the suggestion attributed to England , France , and Austria , that an armistice should be concluded , for , if the Poles once laid clown their arms , how , he asked , were they to take them up again if they felt dissatisfied with the arrangements of diplomacy ? His advice to the Poles was to persevere in their efforts to strike down their enemy . Despair had driven them to insurrection . If they persevered , their perseverance
