Beatrice.
Died at Cheltenham, Thomas Fiott
Hughes, celebrated linguist, one of the two
selected from the Universities of Oxford and
Cambridge in 1848, to be sent as attachés to
Constantinople.

In the Cambridge Classical Tripos (part i.), Miss A. Ramsay, of Girton (daughter of Sir.J Ramsay, of Banff), was placed alone in the first class-thus being Senior Classic of the year; whilst two Newnham students were placed in the first class (part ii.). And in the Modern Languages Tripos, Miss Harvey, of Newnham, was placed second in the first class.

20. The mayors, provosts, and high sheriffs of the kingdom entertained at the Mansion House by the Lord Mayor of London.

Preparation for to-morrow's proceedings in Westminster Abbey, every nook and corner of which was thoroughly searched for explosives by Major Majendie, and the building given over to the custody of the police, who kept strict watch over it until after the ceremonial. The scene in London to-night was described as one of the greatest possible animation, the thoroughfares on the route of the royal procession being up to midnight at many points so densely crowded that it was scarcely possible to move.

21. Jubilee Day. The Jubilee of Queen Victoria celebrated all over the world—in London, in the English, Scotch, and Irish provinces, in all the capitals of Europe, in Canada, the United States, Australasia, and all the British Colonies. The Royal procession and ceremony in London was favoured with brilliant sunshine throughout. From an early hour the West End thoroughfares contiguous to the route to be traversed by the Queen presented an unusually animated appearance, many persons passing the night in the streets in order to secure a position from which a view of the procession might be gained. Traffic was stopped at eight o'clock, by which hour Trafalgar Square was filled with carriages and cabs conveying ticketholders to their various destinations. At this centre the large hotels and public buildings on all sides, as well as business premises, were decorated with flags, evergreens, and festoons, and as the troops detailed for duty in the streets took up their positions the scene was extremely brilliant. In the vicinity of Westminster Abbey great activity prevailed from seven o'clock in the

morning until nine, many officers of the army
and navy and high dignitaries of the Church
presenting themselves at the doors, which
were not, however, opened until a few minutes
to nine. Then a merry peal was rung upon
the Abbey bells, and gradually the people
possessed of tickets made their way into the
sacred edifice. Around Buckingham Palace
in the forenoon there was great gaiety. Her
Majesty rose early, as usual, and took walking
exercise after breakfast with the Princess
At a quarter past eleven the Royal
procession defiled from the gates of Bucking-
ham Palace for the Abbey. The Royal Princes
on horseback escorting the Queen's carriage
formed a brilliant spectacle. The cheering as
the Queen proceeded was tremendous and
enthusiastic, and was repeatedly acknow-
ledged by Her Majesty. All along the route
the huzzaing and waving of handkerchiefs con-
tinued until the Abbey was reached, about a
quarter-past twelve. At the west door the
ladies and officers of the Royal Household
awaited the Queen. The officiating clergy
were assembled in the nave, and immediately
formed a procession. The Bishop of London,
the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, and
the Duke of Westminster were followed by
the Royal Princes. Then came the Queen and
the Princesses. The ceremony, which was of
a most imposing character, lasted about an
hour, and at its conclusion Her Majesty, still
standing on the dais, received obeisance from
all members of the Royal Family. In return
she kissed each of them. The Queen was then
supported by the Lord Chamberlain through
the choir and down the nave to the west door,
preceded by the Princes and followed by
the Princesses. Her Majesty returned to
Buckingham Palace by Whitehall and Pall
Mall, amid renewed demonstrations of loyalty,
which she acknowledged from her carriage
by gracious smiles and bows.
The pro
ceedings throughout were most successful,
and passed off with only a single accident.
After a short rest at Buckingham Palace, on
returning from the thanksgiving service in the
Abbey, the Queen reviewed the Naval Brigade,
numbering 500 men, who came from Ports-
mouth to furnish a guard of honour. In the
evening Her Majesty gave a grand banquet
to her guests, among whom were 64 Royal
personages, while 132 covers were laid for the
members of the Royal household. The health

of Her Majesty was pledged at each table. At
half-past ten the Queen held a reception of
Ministers and other personages.

22.-The Queen, notwithstanding her arduous duties of yesterday, received visits from numbers of her relatives and Royal guests, and at an early hour drove to St. James's Palace and visited the Duchess of Cambridge. This visit was of very short duration, the Queen at once returning to Buckingham Palace, where she held a reception, at which she formally received the Jubilee presents sent from the

Foreign Courts and from the Colonies, as well as the gift of £75,000 from the women of Great Britain, subscribed to by over three millions of her subjects. This latter presentation was made by Lady Stafford, who was accompanied by a deputation of 150 ladies. Among other gifts received by Her Majesty was that of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters, who sent an album of sketches by the members. In the evening the Queen left Buckingham Palace for Windsor, driving to Paddington by way of Hyde Park, where the Children's Jubilee gathering was being held. The bairns, numbering nearly 30,000, were massed along the central carriage-way, and raised hearty cheers when the Queen arrived. Her Majesty, having presented one of the little ones with a memorial cup, drove slowly towards the station. From Paddington she travelled to Slough, where she left the royal train, and was presented with an address. She then drove through Eton, where three addresses were presented, and on reaching Windsor unveiled a statue of herself on Castle Hill, in presence of a very large gathering. The statue was the gift of the inhabitants of Windsor to the Queen. Dr. A. C. Mackenzie's Jubilee Ode was produced in the Crystal Palace, London, in presence of an immense audience.

23. The Jubilee festivities at Windsor were continued to-day, the principal items being the feasting of over 7,000 children in the private grounds of the Home Park, where also a fire brigade demonstration afterwards took place, both being honoured by Her Majesty's presence. At Aldershot a review of the whole garrison, followed by a sham fight, was held in the Long Valley, in presence of the Prince of Wales and the kings and princes at present in this country. Four Jubilee functions in which the Queen took part occurred in July. The first was a review of Volunteer corps, numbering 23,672 men, at Buckingham Palace

(July 2). The second event was the laying of the foundation-stone of the Imperial Institute at South Kensington by Her Majesty (July 4). The third occasion was a review of troops at Aldershot (July 9). The march-past, which was performed by about 58,000 men and 102 guns, occupied two hours and three-quarters. The fourth and chief event was a grand naval review at Spithead (July 23). The Queen, on board the Victoria and Albert, passed through a fleet of 135 ships of various descriptions, moored in three columns, each ship firing twenty-one guns as the royal procession passed. At night the whole fleet was illuminated.

24. Her Majesty's letter of thanks to her people, forwarded from Windsor to the Home Secretary. "I am anxious," wrote Her Majesty, "to express to my people my warm thanks for the kind, and more than kind, reception I met with on going to and returning from Westminster Abbey with all my children and grandchildren. The enthusiastic reception I met with then, as well as on all these eventful days in London, as well as in Windsor on the occasion of my jubilee, has touched me most deeply. It has shown that the labour and anxiety of fifty long years, twenty-two of which I spent in unclouded happiness, shared and cheered by my beloved husband, while an equal number were full of sorrows and trials borne without his sheltering arm and wise help, have been appreciated by my people. This feeling and the sense of duty towards my dear country and subjects, who are so inseparably bound up with my life, will encourage me in my task, often a very difficult and arduous one, during the remainder of my life. The wonderful order preserved on this occasion, and the good behaviour of the enormous multitudes assembled, merits my highest admiration. That God may protect and abundantly bless my country is my fervent prayer.— VICTORIA R. AND I."
