Reilly ( a Liberal ) will make an effort to win one of the seats .

      The Court.—Her Majesty Held A Court At B...

      The Court . —Her Majesty held a Court at Buckingham . Palace on Tuesday , at which Sir James Hudson was presented oh ; his arrival from Turin . The same day there was a , meetiiig ' of the Privy Council . - On "Wednesday the Queen had a grand dinner party ;' ami on Thursday the first drawingroom of the season took place ; which was fully and brilliantly attended . ' On this occasion Her Majesty received the annual deputation from . Christ's Hospital . There was afterwards a state dinner , and an evening" party ,, at which Mr . Albert . Snjit'h gave his entertainment . On Tuesday the Queen and the Prince Consort with the Princess Aiice visited the Princess ' s Theatre . The Princess Alick . —Her Royal Highness will ¦ be-confirmed'during the ensuing Passion Week , at St . George ' s Chapel , "Windsor . The Archbishop of Canterbury will officiate . Death of Lady Morgan . —The news of the death ' of Lady Morgan , at the age of 76 , will be received with feelings rather of regret than , surprise . To the present generation , the authoress of " Florence Macarthy " was more a memory than a personage . Times have changed , anil taste , has changed with them ; and to us at the present time , it is hard to appreciate the success which attended the -early literary ' effort ' s ' of the "Wild Irish Girl . " With Lady Morgan we lose almost the best living member ol that goodly company of wits and authors ,-Byron and Scott , Moore and Hooke , and all the lesser stars , who shone so brilliantly in those good old days , when George the Fourth-was'King . Death of Madame Bosio . —A gloom will he cast over the whole world of dramatic art by the early death of one of the most gifted of modern singers . Since Mallbran Garcia died , in the bloom ot Her we and talent , no artist hns been cut oft by s ° u " '"^ a fate as Madame Bosio . Year by year this tnlontcj lady had won more and more on the affections 01 tuo public . The highest stage of her profession vouw soon have been attained by her . Only those whom the gods love die young . * e * hn The Univsrsitv Boat Kace .-TI . o result of to University Boat Knee yesterday exemplifies t j periodical uncertainty of nil sporting matters . I ° odds were heavily in ftivour of Ciimbrulge , nnd W nil accounts her crew was far superior to that ot Oxford , both in style and strength . The Cambiidgo boat , however , proved too light for ho heavy a ero « . At first starting they shipped a urge qua . ititj ot water . In spite of this overweight , howovoi , tliev rowed most gallantly , and gained r » r'll'fni " ° Oxford boat , till the accidental upset of the r dots near Barnes-brldgo gave Oxford an easy and m glorious victory . . ,, -. v .
