FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT. LONDON, THURSDAY EVEXIXG. The Prince and Princess of Wales are remaining at Marlborough House and I believe her royal highness has to refrain from appearing much in public. They are both in excellent health. Prince Alfred arrived at Alfred House yesterday. An affidavit of Lord Brougham, dated Cannes, April 22, and it letter of Mr. William Brougham, have been published they deny all Mr. Edmunds' statements re- specting them; aud the Report of the Committee, which was yesterday brought up, completely exonerates Lord Brougham, but is very severe on Mr. William Brougham. With respect to the Lord Chancellor, it states that the Committee cannot coincide with the Lord Chancellor in his opinion, that it was not his duty to communicate what lie knew of Mr. Edmund's defalca- tions to their Lordships but they had no reason to believe that tie was influenced by an unworthy motive in not making the communication. This qualification was not in the original report, and was only carried when moved by Lord Taunton, one of the Lord Chan- cellor's friends, by a majority of one. The Peers who voted for its omission were Earls Der- by, Graham, and Malmesbury, Viscount Hutchinson and Lord Chelmsford. Those who supported the qua- lifying phrase were the Earl Granville, the Duke of So- merset, the Earl of Clarendon, Lord Panmure, Lord Stanley of Alderley, and Lord Taunton. If you or your friends come to London, you must visit the Exhibition of the Royal Academy, to see Mr. Frith's picture of the Royal Marriage, which is one of the wonders of art." The place and the persons are alike faithfully represented. There is a vast assemblage of the most distinguished persons in the land, the like- nesses of all, I have no doubt, being faithfully preserved —as they are of those with whose features I am fami- liar. All the royal family are there, except Prince Al- fred and the Princess Alice and they may be at once recognised by anyone who has seen the originals. The painting is most artistic, so admirably are the colours managed for effect; and I do not wonder that it is the first picture of which the visitor endeavours to get a glimpse. It occupies what is considered the post of honour, in the East Room,—being No. 52 in the Ca- talogue. The Dublin Exhibition, which opens on Tuesday, is likely to prove very attractive. It will be held in a new building, which competent judges affirm to be "the most successful combination of iron and glass that has as yet been erected." It is not to be taken down, like the Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, and the Exhibition Building at Kensington, but will form a permanent win- ter garden. The Exhibition will iuclude the Fine Arts, as well as Industry and Science and her Majesty has sent several pictures from her collection. Many of the nobility also contribute to this department. It is also expected that the Indian department will be rich and beautiful: it is under the management of a special com- mittee, the presidentship of which has been accepted by Lord Gough. From all I cau learn, this Exhibition
