SALISBURY.
 
The death of Mr. WYNDHAM, occasions a vacancy in the representation of that city. Mr. BOUVERIE, second son of Lord RADNOR, is named as a probable candidate, but the Conservatives will not permit the seat to be wrested from them. They have strength to hold it, and will of course act up to the emergency.
 
Mr. WYNDHAM sat as a representative of Salisbury since 1818.

On her arrival after various addresses had been read, and presented, her Majesty, accompanied by Prince Albert and her suite, proceeded to the King’s College Chapel, where the service of the Church was preformed, after which her Majesty and her Royal Party returned to Trinity Lodge. The town was superbly illuminated in the evening.
