South Essex Election.—The Omission Of Th...
South Essex Election . —The omission of the main resolution from a report of a public meeting is a singular error in these days of accuracy ; but , according to an advertisement in our paper , one of our esteemed contemporaries is charged with it , in respect of a South Essex election meeting . We nowise impugn the good faith of the journal , though we smile at the rare nodding of Homer , and insert the rebuke of . the election committee as a matter of business . South Essex was fortunate enough to be delivered , last election , from one Sir William Bowyer Smijth , a useless and unpopular member . The subr stitution for him of Mr . Baker , of Orsett-hall , and the retention of Mr . Bramston , a fair member , and a very respectable man , gave the hundreds an adequate position in tlie House . Politically speaking , Mr . Watlington , the new Conservative candidate , is , as the resolution of a late rneeting ran , an " unfit ^ person . The sitting member , against whom the Tories are mad enough to pit him , is " fit , " for the following , reasons : —He is an excellent speaker , a ripe politician , a reasoning and a reasonable gentleman , too old to froth , too young to dote , of ample means , local property , and middle-class race and sympathies . He was in fact a great catch for a . division so very ill-furnished with competent candidates . For a metropolitan county , demanding men Of calibre to . represent its interests and its influence , to change him at . the bidding of a few rabid old magistrates for a mere nonentity would be indeed regretable .

MISCELLANEOUS . The Court . — -On Monday the Queen and Prince Consort with all their children left Buckingham . Palace for Windsor , where , we are happy to say , they continue in good health . The principal event of the week has been the confirmation of the Princess Alice , which took place on Thursday with great pomp . The Court Circular describes the dresses and jewellery with much unction . The episcopal duties usually fulfilled by one bishop was on this royal occasion divided between the Archbishop of
Canterbury and the Bishop of Oxford . A great number of guests were present and were afterwards entertained at luncheon at the Castle . Among the distinguished visitors to her Majesty this week have been the Duke ar id Duchess of Saxe-Coburg , the Duke of Oporto , and the Cavaliere Massimo Azeglio . The ancient and right royal custom of distributing the Queen's bounty on Maundy Thursday was duty performed at Whitehall this week . One of the recipients of the Royal bounty , a widow , is 99 j'ears of age , and is the mother and grandmother of soldiers in the Grenadier Regiment of Foot Guards .
Prince Alfred . —The young sailor with his tutor , Major Cowell , has been visiting the city of Jerusalem , where his reception has been of the same enthusiastic nature as he appears to have experienced throughout his travels . All the places of interest , including the-Grotto of the Nativity arid the dwelling-place of St . Jerome , were duly visited . The party proceeded to the site of Solomon ' s gardens , and now the industrial farm belonging to the Jerusalem Agricultural Association . The Prince attended divine service at the English church on Mount Zion , where the bishop preached , and the church was filled with pilgrims and strangers then
sojourning in Jerusalem—even some of the Turkish guard ventured in , desirous to see the Queen of England ' s son . On . Monday , the 28 th , lie left Jerusalem for the Dead Sea . As soon as the sun was risen crowds assembled to see him depart , and the terraces and domes of the houses were covered with spectators . The troops lined the street , and when ., his Royal Highness left the consulate the Castle guns fired a salute of . 21 guns ; and another when he passed out pf the St . Stephen's-gate . The heads of the Armenian and Greek churches were waiting to take leave of the Prince , who proceeded then to the Dead Sea , and thence by Bethel to Damascus . — Express .
