OUR LONDON LETTER. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] This week the City provides a succession of entertainments for visitors from the Conti- nent. The Lord Mayor and Mayoress on Monday gave a luncheon in honour of the Burgomaster of Brussels, and this the Sheriffs followed with a luncheon at the Central Criminal Court on Tuesday. The Lord Mayor had on Friday the members of the Russian Duma to receive, who oa Monday went to Liverpool to be feasted and feted by the Lord Mayor of the northern city. Lord and Lady Beauchamp on Monday held a reception at the City Liberal Club, and what with the further entertainment of the Imperial editors, the Dominion Day commemoration on Thurs- day at the White City, and the departure of the London delegates for the Calvin celebra- tions at Geneva on Friday, our larger rela- tionships have been a good deal in mind this week, and all the official entertainment has brought with it a certain added sense of re- sponsibility. The present week is full of social engage- ments of all kinds, despite the fact that so many people went to Newmarket. On Mori- day night five or six dances took place in various parts of the West End. On Tuesday, the principal event was the ball given by the Earl of Ashburnham in honour of his daughter, Lady Mary Ashburnham. The Duchess of Northumberland had issued invi- tations for a garden party at House, Brentford, on Wednesday, and for the even- ing there was the Countess of Denbigh's charity ball at the New Gallery. On Thurs- day Lady Clinton is giving a ball. On Friday Princess Christian will preside at a meeting to be held at Spencer House on behalf of the Natiohal Society of Day Nurseries, and the speakers will include Lady St. Helier. On Saturday the Lords and Commons play a polo match at Ranelagh, and at the same club there will be a meet of the stage coaches. At Hurlingham there will be the final of the Inter-Regimental Polo Match, and this will be followed by a Venetian fete with daylight fireworks. The Coaching Club will hold their last meet of the season. The Albert Hall has not contained many more distinguished audiences than gathered to hear Lieutenant Shackleton's lecture on the South Pole and its neighbourhood, illus- trated by cinematograph films reproducing the great polar wastes, and such life as is to be encountered there. The Prince of Whales was an interested listener and spectator. Dr. Stein and other explorers who have lately recited their thrilling stories before the Royal Geographical Society were present, and leaders in scientific research, in war, in poli- tics, and in society, were all to be seen among the brilliant company filling the stalls and lining the boxes. This was really a lecture before the Royal Geographical Society and its guests, and Mr. Shackleton had his first public lecture to deliver on Wednesday even- ing at the Queen's Hall, with Lord Strath- cona in the chair. The popular Lieutenant's engagements come thick and fast just now. He is naturally in great request in the West End, at dinners and receptions, and on Tues- day next the public which loves entertain- ments will have the ouport unity of seeing him open the Travel, Sports, and Pastimes Exhi- bition. The Commons are still pegging away at tho Budget this week. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday were allocated to the Finance Bill; for Thursday the report of the Irish Education Vote and the Navy Vote were the orders, and Friday was specially set apart for the money resolution on the Labour Ex- changes BilL Several minor Government measures were also put down for advance- ment. In the House of Lords there were three main topics, the changes of military ad- ministration in India, on Lord Curzon's motion; the City of London (Street Traffic) Bill, with a motion for rejection by Lord Montagu of Beaulieu; and the coming visit of the Fleet to the Thames, as to which Lord Ellenborough holds special precautions should be taken. On Monday the writ was issued in Parlia- ment for the by-election in the Cleveland Division of Yorkshire brought about by the elevation of Mr. Herbert Samuel to Cabinet rank. Lord Fitzmaurice, who has not of late enjoyed good health, resigned the office o? Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, with its seat in the Cabinet, to which he was ap- pointed last year, and Mr. Herbert Samuel had been made Chancellor of the Duchy in his place. No by-election is caused by Mr. T. R. Buchanan's resignation of the Under- Secretaryship for India (in which he is sue- ceeded by the Master of Elibank), because thi3 is not an office of profit ''under the State." Its Occupant is in a subordinate position to the actual Secretary for India, Lord Morley. Mr. Windsor Lewis. will be the Unionist can- didate for the Cleveland Division. It is pos- sible that a Socialist candidate will be put forward. Mr. J. B. Stubbs, a member of the Cleveland Miners' Association, consented some time ago to become the candidate. The birthday honours seem to have pleased everybody. The knighthoods went to men whose work in various spheres was well- known in London and the provinces, and the fact that there were no new Peerages gives more general satisfaction than if there had been a dozen. It agreed equally with tho view of the people who affect to scorn these gilded trifles, and the people who place great value on such high dignities. The K.G.C.S.I., in the Indian list, for Lord Kitchener was I especially popular, and another military honour held universally to be due was the elevation of General Butler, who held the Cape Command before the outbreak of the war, to be Privy Councillor. While the con- stituencies welcomed the rewards for party services, everyone was gratified to see among the knights such interesting and prominent personalities as Mr. Pinero, Mr. Beerbohrn Tree, Mr. Henry W. Lucy, the distinguished journalist, and Mr. Francis Galton. I saw the late Queen go by to the stone- laying of the magnificent front of the Victoria and Albert Museum which the King has now opened, and to behold, ten years later, the West End acclaiming his Majesty on a similar errand was to perceive in what respect Lon- don remains undeviatingly the same for all the mutations of time and circumstance. South Kensington is extremely proud of this handsome facade which completes its impos- ing system of exhibition buildings. And it may well be. The visitor from the provinces nowadays would as soon think of neglecting the Tower itself as South Kensington Museum. The graceful architecture of the new building gives one the right sense of the splendid proportions and extent of these trea- sure houses of art and science, and one can only h6pe now that more people will accept the invitation of the spacious and dignified entrance and explore the glories within. The announcement that flying-machines and accessories will occupy a large section of the Travel Exhibition which opens at Olympia on July 6th has given rise to many questions con- cerning the doings of the machines shewn at the Aeronautical Exhibition three months ago. There were four British-made machines at that exhibition, while another British machine, found to be too large for the en- trance to Olympia, was taken straight to a practice ground.. Not one has achieved flight. The Howard Wright biplane came to grief in its shed at Shellbeach. During a trial of its engine two propeller blades flew off. No flight has been achieved with the Weiss monoplane, which is at Fambridge, Essex, but the design of this machine was warmly praised by many experts. The Lamp- lough combined glider and lifter, a compli- cated structure that aroused general wonder, is not yet quite finished. The Short biplane, which somewhat resembled the famous Wright flier, is waiting for its motor, and the British machine that could not get into Olympia, that of Mr. Humphreys, has not sue ceeded in rising off the ground or off the sur- face of the lake at Wyvenhoe, where it has been the subject of many experiments. Cap- tain Windham's machine, which was also made in France, left its ground at Fambridge, Essex, for a few yards, and then came to grief.

The Cuban Government has decided that the institution of a State lottery will be of service to the Ltate. and that it will place the proposed lottery under the control of the Treasury De- partment. The Czar arr-ved at Stockholm on Saturday, where he was received by the King of Sv,-< Vn. No lees than jei6,000 was withdrawn on batiT- day from the savings banks at Nelson by inttr.u- ihg ho' 'niaker8.

THE NEW PALACg OF ART AT KENSINGTON. THE VICTORIA & ALBERT MUSEUM. OPENING BY KING AND QUEEN. A MILE OF NEW GALLERIES. The King, accompanied by the Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and several other members of the Royal Family, on Saturday formally opened the new buildings of the Victoria and Albert Museum at South Kensington. Avenues of Venetian masts and festoons of greenery decorated the route from Bucking- ham Palace along Knightsbridge and Bromp- ton-road, and, in spite of the dull and threat- ening weather, vast crowds had congregated to do honour to their Majesties, and inci- dentally to witness a Royal cavalcade of ex- ceptional splendour. The four State landaus started from Buck- ingham Palace about 11.45, accompanied by a field officer's escort furnished by the 2nd Life Guards. Each carriage was drawn bv four bay horses, with State postillions. The King, accompanied by the Queen and the Princess Victoria, looked the embodiment of good health as he held his hand to the salute in acknowledgment of the loud and continued plaudits of the public The Mistress of the Robes, the Ladies-in- Waiting, the Master of the Horse, the Lord Steward, the Lo;\l Chamberlain, and other Court officials followed in the succeeding car- riages. The Hon. J. H. Ward and Lieuten- ant-Colonel F. E. G. Ponsonby were in attendance on horseback. Preceding the King's procession there had passed along, also in State carriages, the Prince and Princess of Wales and little Prin- cess Mary; the Duke and Duchess of Con- naught, with Prince Arthur and Princess Patricia; the Duchess of Argyll, the Duchess of Albany, and other members of the Royal Family. On arriving at the Museum, where there was a large and brilliant gathering, their Majesties were presented with an address of welcome by the Mayor and Corporation of Kensington. When the Royal party had taken their places in the Octagon Court, Mr. Runciman, President of the Board of Education, read an address explaining the objects of the Museum. In reply, his Majesty expressed the interest which the Queen and himself took in the Museum, and referred with approbation to the measures of rearrangement and re- organisation which have been adopted in the rehousing of its treasures. At the conclusion of the King's speech the Archbishop of Canterbury pronounced a short prayer, followed by the Benediction. The King then resumed his seat, and the First Commissioner of Works (Mr. Harcourt) approached, bearing the key on a velvet ejohion. His Majesty smiled, accepted the key, handed it to the Minister for Education, and announced: I have the utmost pleasure in declaring the Victoria and Albert Museum now open." A loud fanfare from the trumpeters in the galleries announced to the waiting crowds outside that the official ceremony had been ¡ duly performed. The Royal procession then I re-formed, and the King, taking the Queen by the hand, passed through several of the halls I to inspect the possessions of the building. In the West Hall there wa3 a cry for Mr. Cecil Smith, the Director and Secretary, who, com- ing forward, knelt to his Majesty and re- ceived the honour of knighthood. In another hall several gentlemen, who have had part in the erection of the new 't I Museum were presented to their Majesties, who received also a body of skilled craftsmen. PRINCIPAL FEATURES OF TIIE NEW MUSEUM. The new buildings at South Kensington known as the Victoria and Albert Museum, which were opened by the King and Queen on Saturday, are in every sense a notable addi- tion to the metropolis. A London contem- porary thus describes the principal features of the museum: The vestibule, which opens into the handsome, columned central hall, is flanked on both sides with wide stairways of marble, relieved by large columns of the more highly-figured Breccia. The central hall be- yond the vestibule is crowned with a fine dome, the upper part of glass and the lower portion panelled nel handsomely enriched. The eighteen col Limns of Brescia marble around the central hall serve to carrv the short, wide corridors which join the courts of the first floor. These corridors arc used for the display of COSTUMES AND WOVEN FABRICS, and their treatment by the architect consti- tutes one of the cli: charms of the new building. Passing, as they do, over courts which rise to a great height, they are thrown open on their sides by great arches, through which nearly all the great courts of the ground floor can be seen—a vista which is at once imposing and a great relief to the tedium of the ordinary walls and corridors of the museum. Visitors to the museum will, as a rule, no doubt, go straight through to the Central Hall, and from there to the two GREAT ARCHITECTURAL HALLS, which stretch away for nearly 100 yards on each side of that hall. That on the right, the East Hall, is devoted mainly to Italian, Flemish, Spanish, and French architecture and sculpture. Here is to be found the famous Cupid (or Apollo) of Michael Angelo, together with many other magnificent ex- amples of the work of famous Continental I sculptors. A feature of the architectural courts is the manner in which, wherever pos- sible, various exhibits, such as chimney- pieces, doorways, &c., have been built into the walls, so that the visitor actually sees them in positions such as the designer intended. The West Hall has been given over to Eng- lish, French, Italian, and Near Eastern archi- tectural exhibits, mainly in wood. Behind these two great halls will be found four smaller courts filled with woodwork, the walls being used for shewing the GREAT TAPESTRIES AND CARPETS of the museum. At one end of these courts is the great Octagon Hall, 65ft. high, where the opening ceremony took place, and immedi- ately adjoining the courts where the collec- tions of Mr. Pierpont Morgan, Mr. David M. Currie, and others are stored. At the other end of the building on this floor is the great square court, which is filled with plaster replicas of famous works, the whole dominated by the huge section of the Trajan column, reaching almost to the ceil- ing, which is over 40ft. high. The long corri- dor which runs between these galleries and the East and West Halls is used for displaying architectural prints and drawings, and this corridor is almost the only part of the build- ing for which the architect has been unable to provide adequate lighting. There are ten courts of varying size in the basement, and of these seven are filled with examples of the various PERIODS AND STYLES OF WOODWORK (making this collection one of the most com- prehensive in the whole world), whilst the other threo complete the space devoted to sculpture. Almost the entire space on the first floor of the new buildings is occupied by textiles, con- sisting of woven, embroidered, and printed fabrics, linen damasks, tapestries, carpets, costumes, lace, and fans-the tapestries shewn on this floor including the wonderful repro- duction of the" Bayeux tapestry." The 1,000ft. of galleries on the second floor are also given over in their entirety to cera- mics, the courts being filled with earthenware and porcelain. As in other departments of the new museum, the Oriental and European collections are shewn together, according to materials, whereas the Oriental collection was formerly kept distinct from any other. Some idea of the amount of extra space now available can be gathered from the fact that the new galleries are altogether one mile in length, whilst the great top-lighted courts alone have a superficial area of 6,500 square yards, or nearly It acres. The additional space thus provided should enable the authorities to find room for the reception of new exhibits for many years to come.

Owing to an unknown pest Norfolk oak troea are as leafless as in winter, it was reported to a countv council committee on Saturday, and it was decided to communicate with an expert of Cambridge University on the matter. The Rev. D.
