The Week.

THE WEEK .

Tns COURT . —The Queen has had a very narrow escape in the Highlands . Her Majesty , who was accompanied by the Princess Louis of Hesse and the Princess Helena , was returning to Balmoral Castle on Wednesday week , from a drive in the neighbourhood , Avhen her carriage Avas " turned on its side . " The Queen and the Princesses were thrown out ; but they were

merely slightly bruised , and were able to ride home on hill ponies . The Queen and the Princesses continued to walk and drive out on Thursday , Friday , and subsequent days . On Tues--day , the uncovering of the statue of the Prince Consort at Aberdeen took place , as had been previously arranged , in presence of her Most Gracious Majesty , being her first appearance

in public since her husband ' s lamented death . The Queen , who was accompanied by several cf her children—Prince Alfred had gone north from Etlinburgh for the purpose —appeared in good health ; and though it was plain that the ceremony was in many respects trying to her feelings , upon the whole she appeared to derive gratification from the events of the day , and

not least from the respectful , or rather reverential and most delicate , attention shown to her by all classes in the immense crowd that was assembled on the occasion . The Prince and Princess Christian of Denmark , with the younger members of their family , arrived at Marlborough House on Saturday on a visit to the Prince and Princess of AVales , and King George of

Greece . On the same day his youthful Majesty received deputations from the Greek community in London , Liverpool , and Manchester , and also from the English Philhellenic Committee . On Sunday his Majesty attended Divine service at the Greek Church , London-wall , where great preparations were made for his reception . Great interest was made to be present on the occasion , but as the church is comparatively small , admission

was necessarily obtained by tickets , and numbers were disappointed . The Prince of A \ ales , Prince Christian , and the young King visited the Crystal Palace on Monday . The King of the Greeks left for France on the same day . GEKEEAL HOME NEWS . —The mortality of London still continues to be very high . The deaths last week amounted to

125 S , which is 132 above the average . Death has removed from among us another man of high mark . Lord Lyndlmrst—Avho was thrice Lord Chancellor of England—died at his residence in London at an early hour on Tuesday morning , aged 92 . Son of the well-known painter Copley , the deceased peer was born in Boston , Massachusetts , before the American republic

existed as au independent state . He was close upon 30 years of age at the commencement of the present century , and his long life carried him through a series of changes and revolutions at home and abroad such as is seldom compressed within a single experience . We announce Avith deep regret the death of Archbishop AVhately . His Grace , who was 78 years of age ,

died in Dublin . Dr . Whately was better known as one of the most clear-headed thinkers of his day than as a minister of the Church ; but wo have the fullest testimony to the fact that he was an earnest hard-working Prelate , as well as an intellectual athletn , ever ready to grapple with what appeared to him to be sophistry or error in theology or politics . His Grace's death

places another piece of rich preferment at the disposal of Lord Palmerston , who has already given away three out of the four primacies of the united Church of England and Ireland . He has now to fill up the fourth . -Mrs . Trollope , the novelist , and Mr . John Sheepshanks , the donor to the nation of the wellknown collection of works of art which bears his name , have died within the last few days . An extraordinary act of discourtesy is attributable to Lord Leitrim . Lord Carlisle

recently made an excursion among the hills of Connemara , and proposed spending a night at an hotel on Lord . Leiirim ' s property . The landlord of this house , however , received a missive from Lord Leitrim , containing the imperative injunction , " Let every room he occupied immediately , and continue to be occupied , and , when so occupied , you Avill refuse

admittance to Lord Carlisle and his party . " His Excellency appears to have been informed of this , and the vice-regal party passed the hotel , without putting the landlord to the unpleasant duty of closing his doors against them . The explanation of thi 3 extraordinary conduct , according to the Irish papers , is , that Lord Leitrim , who was fired at some time ago , fancies that

the authorities have not properly exerted themselves for the protection of life iu that part of Ireland . Lord Leitrim has been removed fi-oni the commission of the peace . ¦ On Saturday , Lord Derby distributed the prizes and certificates awarded to the pupils of the Liverpool Collegiate institution by the conductors of the Oxford middle-class examinations .

Twenty-three years ago , the noble earl laid the foundation-stone of the Collegiate Institution—a school established with the view of improving upon the old system of what is colloquially called " middle-class education" —and the ceremony of Saturday suggested to his Lordship's mind a comparison between English education as it is , and English education as it Avas a quarter of

century ago . A large portion of his speech was , of course , devoted to a statement of the rise and progress of the Liverpool school . Upwards of 4000 volunteers of Manchester and other parts of Lancashire were reviewed at Heaton Park on Saturday . The 1-lth Hussars took part in the movements , which Ave may state , on the high authority of Colonel M'Murdo , the reviewing officer , were on . the whole admirably executed . The annual meeting of the Church Congress was opened in Manchester on

Monday . In the morning , Dr . Hook preached at the Cathedral ; in the afternoon , the Bishop of Manchester , as President of the Congress , delivered his opening speech in the Free Trade Hall ; and then began the real work of the Session—the reading of papers and the discussion of questions affecting the interests of the Church . In the evening , Mr . Beresford Hope delivered a lecture on ecclesiastical architecture . An iron-cased frigate

and steam ram was launched for tho service of our Government at the Admiralty yard , Isle of Dogs , on AA ' eduesday . The Valiant has been about three years under construction , and two contractors have had her in hand . She is an iron ship , cased stem and stern with 4 iV-inch wrought iron plates , on a backing of 18 inches of teak . Her architecture is of the same class as

the Resistance , but she is of larger dimensions , with more powerful machinery . She will carry an armament of 31 guns . It has been decided at a meeting held in Manchester—the Mayor in the chair—to form a " Manchester Associatiou for the Abolition of Capital Punishment . " There can no longer be any doubt as to the intentions of the Government with respect

to the steam rams built hy the Messrs . Laird , at Birkenhead , one of these vessels having been formally seized and marked with the " broad arrow . " Mr . Farnall reports a further decrease of 5159 in the number of persons receiving parochial relief in the cotton manufacturing districts . The official inquiry into the loss of the Liverpool and Montreal steamship

Norwegian , has resulted in a decision to the effect that proper precautions had not been taken by the master , whose certificate is , therefore , suspended for twelve months . The shareholders in the Great Ship Company decided at a meeting , upon liberating the Great Eastern from her present ignoble position by " placing the ship on the longest voyages , where there can be the least competition and the highest receipts—the shareholders contributing what may he required for the liquidation of the existing
