Even the fisherman, angling from the high bank, fears lest the damp line should convey the shock to him from a dis tance. Thus, in these regions, electric fire breaks forth from the bosom of the waters. The capture of the gymnoti affords a picturesque spectacle. Mules and horses are driven into a marsh, whi c h i s closely sur rounded by India ns , un til th e unwonted noise and dis turbance induce the p ugnac i ous fish to begin an attack. One sees them sw i mm i ng a b out lik e serpents, and trying cunningly to glide und er th e b e lli es of t h e h orses. M any these are stunned by the force of the invisible blows; others, with manes standing on end, foaming with wild terror sparkling in their eyes, try to fly from the raging tempest. But the Indians, armed with long poles of b amboo, drive them back into the middle of the pool. Gradually the fury of the unequal strife begins to sla c ken. Li ke cloud which have discharged their elec tricity, the wearied fish begin to disperse; long repose and abundant food are required to replace the galvanic oftetr force whi c h they have expended. Their shocks become graduallyweaker and weaker. Terrified by th e noise horses, they timidly approach th e b ank, where they piing are wounded by harpoons, and cautiously drawn on shore by non - conducting pieces of dry woOd.— liumboldt e Aspect s of Nature. annansweekactemmarmilimin = " " ,77& RFA ir= N°. 17 811 1 LON DON TH S D " T • - • OCTOBER 25 1849 PUBLICATIONS. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. We regret to state that the venerable and distin guished Admiral of the Fleet, Sir James Hawkins Whitshed, Bart., G C. 8., is again seriously ill, and not expected to survive many days. He was made a captain nearly seventy years ago at least, having been made a post captain at 18 years of age. Captain Charles Eden, Private Secretary to the First Lord, passed through Portsmouth yesterday, on his way to the Isle of Wight. We understand that the Phaeton, 50, frigate, when ready at Sheerness, will be commissioned by Captain G. Elliot, of the flag-ship at the Nora. She was de signed by Mr. White, the eminent yacht builder, of Cowes, who proceeded t o Sh eerness on Tuesday, for the purpose of making some further arrangements respecting her. She will not be ready for hoisting the pendant within the next fortnight. Commander C. F. Shadwell, studying at the Royal Naval College, Portsmouth. has been ordered by the Admiralty to be in readiness for employment at twenty- four hours' notice. It is supposed he will be appointed to the Spbynx, steam-sloop, which vessel is now ready, and is coaling in the basin.

The following passengers came in her, viz. :—Baron Fretstag Laringhouen, Lady Child and servant, Miss Pooley, Mr. lien wood, Mr. Nuttall, Mr. Westwood, Mr. Blarney, Mr. Peugilly, Mr. Rastels, Mr. Candid°, Mr. Masset, Mr. Gianello, Mr. Gallino, Mr. Lima, and Mr. Tobin-; with Mr. Dailey and Mr. Bunt, steerage passengers. She has also about 20,0001. on freight in gold and diamonds. By this arrival we find that the exchange at Rio had experienced a slight alteration since the departure of the previous packet. The transactions during the interval were estimated at 135,000/., the prin cipal part of which was effected at 26d. Several =mall amounts were passed at 25,1 and 251. On ['girls and Hamburgh the business had been very limited, at 370 to 366 on the former, and 680 to 675 on the latter place. The shipments in August were 166,099 bags of coffee, against 136,533 bags in the same month last .year ; .27 cases, 373 barrels, 170 begs of sugar ; 27,199 hides, 1,000 tanned half-hides; 32,963 ox and cow-horns; 355 ipipes of rum ; 661 bags of rice; 628 rolls of tobacco; 1,246 barrels of tapioca ; 2,522 planks of Jacaranda, and 818.321 b. of ipecacuanha. The co ff ee b us i ness continued brisk for several days following the departure of the last packet (Seagull), but on the receipt of less favourable ac counts both from Europe and the United States the demand became more restricted ; ',nevertheless, holders kept very firm, and prices continued on the rise, principally fur the better descriptions. Prices had been, for Superior washed and pulped, 4,500 to 5,500 per aroba ; Superior 3,800 to 4,000 Ist Good 3,400 to 3,600 Ist Ordinary 3,100 to 3,200 2d Good 2,800 to 3,000. 2d Ordinary 2,450 to 2,600 _ _ i SPORTING I NTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET 110 riJGHTON MEETING. NEWMARKET, TIIESDA` NIGHT.—The short interval between our return from the heath and the departure of the last train obliged us to forward our parcel without the particulars of the race- for the Cambridgeshire. We now subjoin them:— Ribaldry took the lead tat starting, followed by Miss Ann, Woolwich, Vangui tr d, Rathaiines, and Rhesus; Raby and a.host of other iiitht weights lying up. They ran with scarcely any cha nige to - the Duke's Stand, where Miss Ann and Rathmines dropped back, the front rank now being composed of Itifibaldry with a slight lead et Raby, who was on her r ig ht, Rhesus, Glance, Wool wich, and Collingwood. ,About halfway between the Duke's Stand and home, P;ti by went up to Ribaldry; his rider at the moment raise I his whip, and the horse in stantly hung towards Ribr dd ry, but certainly neither ran .against or crossed her. ECe was immediately pulled into his proper track, went o' i with the lead, followed by Rhesus, and 'won very cleverly b a length, Rhesus ating Ribaldry by a len gith and a /half, Glance a very good fourth, Woolwich fifth, and Collingwood sixth. Run in exactly two minut es . . On returning to scale the rider of Ribaldry made a complaint against the rider of Ruby, on the ground that; he bad crossed him, and the matter was gone into bete ire , the stewards, shortly after the races, when, after ex, tm ining several of the jockeys, it was decided that there was no evidence whatever to support the complaint. Taus terminated a Cambridge shire Stakes which, in the extraordinary fluctuations in the betting, and the intermt it excited among all classes, has had no equal. In our return of the race, for the 10 son. Stakes, last half of Ab. M., we omitted. to state that, owing to the similarity of the colours worn by the riders of Basti lion and Hind of the Forest , the former was declared to be the winner. It was some time before the mistake was discovered. • • On Saturday, Yov'ember 3, will be published, in 2 vols. post Bvo., N." ALLEN; or, the Past Age, By DAVID HANNAY. Esq.

ACCEPTANCES FOR DIE NURSERY STAKES. Commander Vansittart entered the navy in June, 1881, passed his examination August, 1837, and was promoted for his conduct as mate of the flag-ship Cornwallis, 72, during the operations on the coast of China, where he served on shore at the capture of the Woosung batteries. He has served as' lieutenant in the Superb, and Spiteful, steam-sloop, in the East Indies; in the Hibernia, fla g s hi p o f Si r W . Parker, in the Mediterranean ; and since Jan. 1, 1848, in the royal yacht. Lieutenant Nicolas is the son of that distinguished officer, Captain Superintendent Toup Nicolas, C. 8., K.H., and received his appointment to the royal yacht for his services in New Zealand, having served four years on that station, and having been gallantly engaged in the various encounters with the hostile natives. ► Triage 1,500 to 1,700 and, as these prices were an inducement to some planters to supplies had b accelerate eenm the sending mdaingpile thann oftheihreprertoodforuce. produce, the Other planters, on the contrary, intended withholding their crops entirely till late in the season, under the impression that the deficiency of the present crop will then be more apparent, and they will succeed in getting higher prices. The sales in August amounted to about 150,000 bags, and to the 6th of September (the day previous to the Penguin's departure) to 10,000. Stock computed at 70,000 bags. In August the clearances were nearly 167,000 bags, of which 62,500 were for the United States, 13,000 for Ant werp, 100 for California, 1,685 for the Cape of Good Hope, 71,248 for the English Channel, 500 for Genoa, 5,655 for Havre, 616 for Lisbon, 1,717 for London, 3,235 for Malta, 1,844 for Marseilles, and 5,249 for Trieste. In sugar (Campos and Terros) prices ruled, for Redondo, 2,600 to 2,800; Batido, 2,400 to 2,600; avd Muscado, 1,600 to 1,900. The arrivals from Campos (almost of new) had been about 2,000 cases - and 4,500 barrels and bags, and from Pernambuco 1,200 barrels and bags, a great portion whereof had, been sold at the above quotations. Freights were—for England and the English Channel, 40s. to 455. • Antwerp, 52i. 6d. ; Ham burgh, 40 5 . ; an d th e Mediterranean, 455. to 503. There was no political news of any moment current in Brazil. The elections had nearly terminated in a most quiet manner, and in favour of the Government.

COAST- GUARD SEIZURE AT PounstouTn.—Lieut. Joseph Brown, of the Coast-Guard, stationed at Portsmouth, made a seizure of smuggled spirits of some importance on Monday night. Mr. Brown was out that night in the Solent, with his galley and four men ; a number of boats had collected on the middle shoal in the Solent, fishing. The revenue galley pulled amongst them, and boarded a wherry, appa rently very deep in the water, and found in her no less than 49 tubs of spirits. There were four men on board, but no resistance was offered. The wherry belonged to Gosport, as did also several of the smug glers. The wherry and spirits were deposited at the Custom House on Tuesday, and the four men were committed to the new gaol at Winchester. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY, 5 P.AL—Wind westerly, moderate and cloudy.

She has not yet re ceived her armament, and is about 80 petty officers and seamen short of her full complement. The time for being ready for sea has been postponed to the sth of next month. The Octavia, 50, new frigate, at Devonport, has been ordered to be fitted for ordinary at that port. The Serpent, 12, Commander Barker, now ready, and manned at Portsmouth, is ordered to sail on the 30th for the East Indies, touching at Rio, on her Her Majesty's ship Kestrel sailed from Rio on the 15th of August for the River Plate, and her Ma. jesty's ship Spider arrived therefrom on the 4th of Septembe r , and remained with her M a j es t y ' s s hi ps Crescent and Hydra; the Vasco de Gains and Iris, Portuguese; the Brandywine, John Adams, and San Louis, American ; the Constitucion, Affonso, and Berenice, Brazilian ; and the Algerie and Entrepre mint, French vessels of war.

Letters received from Sir John Richardson an nounce his arrival at Norway hiouse, Lake Winipeg, on the 14th of August last, on his way home ; he may, therefore, be shortly expected to reach England. The whole party were in perfect health, and had re covered from the fatigues of their sea-coast voyage performed in the summer of 1848, from the Mackenzie to the Coppermine Rivers, in search of Sir John Franklin's expedition, the particulars of which were fully detailed in Sir John Richardson's letter of the 16th of September, 1848, on his arrival at winter quarters on the Great Bear Lake, and which letter was published in our journal of the 12th of July last. Mr. Roe, who accompanied Sir John Richardson, was left with a select crew of active men, to proceed dawn the Coppermine River this summer, to examine the opening between Victoria and 'Wollaston lands, and to aid any party that Sir James Ross may send towards the Coppermine over the ice. We hope shortly to be able to announce the safe return of the faithful friend and former companion of Franklin, who so nobly undert oo k an ar d uou s, haras sing, and dangerous enterprise, to endeavour to save the life of his gallant associate in former perils, such a 3 have rarely been encountered, and who appears to have carried out that enterprise in a manner highly satisfactory, having deposited pemmican on various points of the coast for the use of Sir John Franklin's party, should they abandon their ships and seek the continent of America. way to Singapore. The Wolverine, 12, Commander Falcon, is to leave Devonport on the Ist proximo, with the mails for the coast of Africa. The Contest has been masted, and will be forthwith brought forward for immediate commission. It is likely that she will take the December mail to the coast of Africa. The Hogue, 60, screw-ship, Captain Macdougall, as we stated, left Queenstown on the 21st fora cruise. She was ordered to ,return to Queenstown after twenty-four hours' exercise of her engines and ship's company. The - Terrible, steam•frigate, will be out of the hands of the shipwright department by the 12th of November. The Firebrand, 6, steam-frigate, Captain Knox, is reported ready for sea, at Woolwich, this day. She is about a dozen bluejackets short, which she will complete at Portsmouth, on her way to the Medi terranean. The Spiteful, G, steam-slopp, Commander Carmi chael, has removed from Devonport Dockyard to Barnpol, and is ready for sea, manned within two or three. She goes to the Mediterranean to relieve the Rosamond. AELtOSTATION. SIR JOHN FRANKLIN'S EXPEDITION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Six,—Having watched with great anxiety the laudable exertions which have been made, as well as the propositions offered, for the discovery of that daring adventurer, Sir John Franklin, I beg respect- fully to propose an experiment, certainly a novelty in this instance, and which from its first invention ought to have been made use of in exploring expeditions— viz., the introduction of balloons. I, an humble indi vidual, am prepared to volunteer my services as an aeronaut to accompany any party who may be en gaged in the service of the Government, or otherwise, for the above purpose ; and I feel thoroughly con vinced, from my experience in the science of aerosta tion, that some benefits must result. I would wish it to be understood I am thoroughly acquainted with travelling in the northern regions, having been as far north as 72 deg. by sea ; and at one period, during a hunting excursion in North America, I was out 18 months in the vicinities of Lakes Huron and Superior, and wintered to the northward of Lake Winnipeg with a party of Chip. peway Indians, from River St. Clare, which has given me a perfect knowledge of what is to be en dured, and how far aerostation is practicable in those regions, and the more I study the practicability of this experiment, the greater is my confidence in the certainty of its utility. Suppose, for instance, an altitude of two miles is attained, a panorama of at least 1,200 miles would be placed within observa tion ; besides, the party sought for seeing a foreign of floating in the air, would no doubt make signals, by hoisting flags or firing guns which would direct the attention of the aeronaut to their where. abouts. The Scourge steam-sloop, Commander Lord F. Kerr, has been shifted from the basin to the jetty, at Portsmouth, alongside the dockyard. She has com pleted coaling, but has not received her guns ; her destination is said to be Lisbon. The Ordnance de partment, as usual, is all behind. The Black Eagle, Admiralty steam-yacht, Master- Commander Cook, has some engineer defects to be made good at Woolwich. The Rattler, screw-sloop, Commander Cumming, arrived off Benin, July 11 ; she had taken a large Brazilian schooner slaver, American built, after a chase of several hours, and only succeeded in captur ing her by the breeze subsiding. The Sprightly, steam• vess e l, M as t er- C ommander Allen, is progressing slowly, at Portsmouth, in her equipment; her defects are not yet completed by the dockyard. The Confiance, steam-tender, Master-Commander Marsin, arrived at Portsmouth, on Tuesday, from Devonport, with some seamen supernumeraries for the ships fitting ; and also a detachment of the Royal Marines, lately serving in Ireland. ARMAMENT OF OUR STEAM VESSELS..—WO under stand that within the last fortnight the Admiralty have been working up the Ordnance Department to the completion of the armament of the steam-vessels (screw and paddle wheel) now being brought forward in reserve. This week their Lordships have ordered the armament of the Amphion to be prepared, which is to consist of the following powerful ordnance : Main deck fourteen 32-pounders, 50 cwt, and six 8- inch guns, 65 cwt.; weather deck, eight 32-pound ers, 25 cwt. ; quarter deck and forecastle, each 1 pivot-gun, 10-inch, 87 cwt. Total 30 guns. I should feel most happy to give a detail of my plan of operation to any per3on who may feel in tc•rested. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obe dient servant, _ _ CHANGES AND REDUCTIONS IN THE GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS .-It is strongly reported, and, although we have no official confirmation, we believe there is sub stantial foundation for the rumour, that the steam de partment of the Admiralty at Somerset House is to be absorbed in the department of the Surveyor of the Navy. The office of comptroller of machinery is to be abolished, and Captain Elliott, who now holds the ap pointment, is to be transferred to the Coast Guard Ser vice, as Comptroller- General, Captain llouston Stewart, C. 8., who now holds that office, being transferred to the Board of Admiralty, in the room of Captain Lord John Hay, C. 8., who succeeds Sir John Louis, Bart., as Superintendent of Devonport Dockyard. It is also confidently reported that the very expensive, very slow, and over-officered establishment, the Board of Ordnance, is no longer lo be maintained in its separate and irre sponsible existence, but that it is to be attached to the Horse Guards and Admiralty, as mere branch depart ments, with one naval and one military officer, subordi nate to the heads of the army and navy authorities con ducting the branches, just as the other branches of the navy are established and controlled.—Herald.

ROYAL A.RTILLERY.--WOOLWICH, OCT. 24.—The whole of the Royal Artillery off duty assembled in light marching order, at h a lf- past n i n e, A.M., and proceeded to the common, where they were drawn up in contiguous close columns in front of the Cottages—the Royal Horse Artillery, under Lieut. Colonel Bell; the right battalion Foot Artillery, under Lieut.-Colonel Wilson; Captain I3eresford and Captain Crawford's companies, at present doing field battery duty, each with 9 - pounder guns, drawn by six horses, the gunners dismounted, under Lieut.-Colonel F. Warde; the left battalion under Lieut.. Colonel Tomkyn s • and the light field batteries, u n d er the command o f Lieut.-Colonel Anderson. Lieutenant- General Sir Thomas Downman, C. 8., R.C.H, the Commandant of the whole, arrived on the ground at ten, A.M., accompanied by Lieutenant-Colonel Evans, Lieut.- Colonel Griffin, Brigade-Major Bingham, and Captain Tylden, Deputy A ss i s t an t Quartermaster-General of Artillery. The Royal Horse Artillery immediately after moved off the common at a trot, proceeding o n th e east side of the raservoir to the Dover-road. The Foot Artillery and the batteries, with the 9- pounder guns, proceeded by the road in front of the Veterinary Hos pital, and the light field batteries round by the rear of tl.e Cottages, and all met together on Blackheath, where they were drawn up in review order and marched past the Commandant at quick time. The troops marched home through Charlton, and entered the barracks at the south-west gate. Th© men's dinner hour was put off until two o'clock, and the guard mounting until four o'clock, P. 31.

We learn that the cause of this proceeds from a delay in getting the necessary certificate of the Government inspector, in whose mind it would appear some doubts have - arisen as to the completeness of a small portion of the works at one point. It is however gratifying to be enabled to add, that a very few days will be sufficient to remove this impediment to the opening of the line.--Arbroath Guide. THE lIAWICK BRANCH OF THE NORTH BRITISH.— At length we are enjoying the benefits of railway communication throughout the whole line to Edin burgh. On Saturday morning a number of trucks laden with coals from the Lothian pits arrived at the station at Wilton, and were very speedily disposed of at prices much lower than we have generally had to pay. Good coal can now be got in abundance at lid. and 81. per cwt, and this of itself will be an incalculable benefit to the town. We have heard that efforts have been made very lately to prevent Sunday morning and evening passenger trains being run. Certainly it would be better if these people would try and keep the Sabbath in their own way, without asking others to do that which they do not do themselves when it suits them. —.Kelso Chronicle.

The royal sport of Queen Elizabeth's time was bear-baiting by means of savage dogs. To such an entertainment did the " good Queen Bess" lead the French Ambassador as to a genuine English treat ! But the sports of the people down to a very recent date were of an equally ungentle kind. Bull-baiting was a common amusement in England only sixty years ago. Many of our large towns have still their bull-rings—happily only so in name. At Grantham, we believe, the ring at whi c h th e tortured bull was pinned by the nose, and there baited by bull-dogs, is still to be seen. The bull-ring at Birmingham is a noted place. At Stamford the sport was bull-hunting. The poor brute was tortured into fury by pouring turpentine on its back, and then setting it on fire, by pricking it with iron spikes, hunted meanwhile by all the ferocious dogs that could be got together; and the grandest feat of all was to hustle the agonized brute over the bridge into the Witham, there to end its tortures. And such were the scenes with which the eyes of the rising youth of England in those days were familiarized—happily now entirely passed. Yet such scenes as these were eulogized in the House of Commons by one of onr legislators (Mr. Wyndham), some fifty years ago, us manly sports, and calculated to stimulate the noble courage of Englishmen ! The pugilistic ring has also been abandoned, except by the most degraded part of our population. It is no longer patronized by the Lords and gentry, nor fre quented by the middle and working classes. Men can still be brave, cherish brave thoughts, and do brave deeds, without needing to resort to such scenes of frightful brutality to feast their destructive propen sities. The Saturnalia of Plough Monday is no longer known in the rural districts ; nor the cruelty of cock throwing on Shrove Tuesday ; nor the barbarous plough-man's play of riding under a rope on which live geese and ducks with soaped necks were hung, and pulling the creatures off, if they could, by the neck : all these disgusting amusements have been banished ; and badger-baiting, dog-fighting, and cock fighting, are, we trust, speedily to follow them. The world is really growing better —more humane— more generous—and much less cruel and ferocious in its tastes. TILE CHOLERA.—Professor Liebeg, of Giessen, has forwarded to the Darmstadt Gazate a letter which he has received from Dr. Maxwell, of llydrabad, giving an account of a remedy which he had u!ed with great suc cess in cases of cholera. It is as follows:—" I have pleasure in communicating to you a fact which has come under my notice in the treatment of cholera, that car bonate of natron is a prompt and efficacious remedy against that disease. I administer, on the first appear ance of the complaint, a spoonful in a cup of gruel as hot as it can ba taken. If the stomach rejects it I repeat it immediately with a little laudanum, and a good dose of castor oil, or any other purgative, in order to make it descend into the small intestines, which is the seat of the disease. As soon as there is found in the evacua tions a portion of the oil that has been taken, it will be perceived that the cure has commenced. If necessary, I repeat the remedy morning and evening, but in smaller doses. If several 'Arsons are attacked at the same time with cholera, I give boluses composed in the following manner:-3 grains of carbonate of natron, 3 grains of opium, from 5 to 10 grains of gamboge, 2 or 3 grains of croton oil, 2i grains of soap, which is given in a mouth ful of carbonate of the liquid preparation of natron. In this manner boluses and carbonate of natron sufficient for a hundred persons may be readily carried in the pocket. I shall not enter into any further details, and, besides, physicians will doubtless hereafter make known other modes of prescribing the remedy.—P.S. I forgot to mention that the carbonate of natron relieves the pains in the intestines, procures sleep, and in a short time re establishes the pulse and the heat of the body." A SALT WATER SPRING IN A COAL MINE.— During the past week the miners employed in sinking down to the Arley Mine, at what is commonly called the Patricroft Colliery, Ince, completed their task, and dur ing their progress they have cut through a white stone rock of fifteen yards thick, in the centre of which, at 410 yards from the surface, they found a spring of salt water, which, according to their account, makes about twenty gallons per hour. The water is clear and bright, and on a temporary analyzation is found to contain about fourteen grains troy of the different kinds of salts to one ounce of water. The mi nes a r o the property of Messrs. Lancaster, the Ince Hall Coal and Canal Com pany; and it now remai ns a question as to hew farforthis excellent alkaline spring might be renderedavailable baths, &c. Below this rock the miners whencutthrough • various metals for about fifteen yards,they came to the mine, which is four feet six inches thick, top.k, exclusive The of what is called the " buzzard" coal on miners have frequently found salt water in the mines in Ince, but we believe that this is t h e firs t disc o v ery of the , source from whence it emanated.—Preston Chronicle. THE LATE MYSTERIOUS AND EXTR AORDINARY AFrara AT CHELSEA.—We are requested to correct an inaccuracy which has appeared in several of the daily papers, to the effect that the body of M'Guar an or M'Guire, whose mysterious disappearance and suspected murder has induced the Government to offer a reward of 501., had been found in the Thames, off Erith, Mr. Broderip, the magistrate before whom the case is under investigation, yesterday sent for Mr. Russell, the super intendent of the B division, upon the subject, who, in reply to his i nqu i r i es, stated' that the body discovered at Erith was not that of M'Guaran, but of a man named Damson, of Bermondsey, who was drowned, owing, as he had been informed, to a small boat in wAch he was being rowed towards an Irish steamer being run down by a barge. No clue whatever has yet been discovered to the missing man M'Guaran, and, owi , ig to the lengthened - period which has elapsed since his disappear ance, should he have met his death as it is suspected by foul means, his identification may be a matter of consi derable difiggity. -),,-- , -- '...' .------- . -- _.„ ,r --------P--- ' ~..--- ' e l " --- C--t.-- - e-- --0 -e-,,,,,,..-------- QUEEN'S VISIT TO THE CITY. )(lure Superintendent Eden, of Woolwich 1, was yesterday in active communication Lord Mayor with reference to her .Majesty's le City on the 30th instant, and it is under ; the general arrangements of the aquatic , &c., have been agreed upon between the civic authorities. The details, however, have yet to be considered before the programme is issued; but it is likely that the procession will be somewhat similar to that which was formed on the occasion of his late Majesty King William and Queen Adelaide's visit to Greenwich in 1835. There will be no less than a dozen barges and boats belonging to her Majesty's service in the royal river squadron, in which the Queen, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, the Ministers of State, the Board of Admiralty, the principal officers of the Admiralty, Somerset House,_ the Trinity cor poration and Trinity b re th ren, the Vice-Admiral, the Hon. G. Elliott, C. 8., commanding in chief at the Nore; Commodore Superintendent Eden, Captain Superintendent Sir John Hill, of Deptford Dockyard ; and entail' Elliot, of the flag ship at the Nore, will be embarked. The Lord Mayor's barge, according to present arrangements, will immediately precede the royal state barge; and after the barges containing the distinguished personages above mentioned, those of the various companies will follow according to se niority. The Right Hon. Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.C.H , the captain of her Majesty's yacht, will have the honour of steering the Royal state barge. The most effective means will be taken to preserve the course from Westminster bridge to the Custom House free from all obstruction. The entire line on the City side of the River will be formed by steamers, and on the Borough side by river barges, alloNiing a clear space of about 200 feet in width for the royal and civic barge squadrons to pass through. At Westminster-bridge it is proposed to form a cordon of steamers across the River, and the line across the River below the Customs will be formed by large steam-vessels. The ostensible charge of keeping the course clear will devolve upon the Harbour Master of the Port of London, and the civil force placed at his disposal, and in this onerous duty he will be assisted by the boats and blue jackets of the Royal Navy. Should the weather not prove propitious, it is most likely that the Queen will select one of her steam yacht tenders, instead of the barge, for conveying her Majesty from Whitehall to the Custom-house ; in which case the principal personages of the procession will also be provided with steam-boat accom- modation. If the weather should turn out to be fine the barge procession will terminate at the Custom-house, and her Majesty after performing the ceremony of for mally opening the Coal Exchange, and of most graciously condescending to partake of the Lord Mayor's hospitality, will return to Whiteball-stairs in the Elfin steam-yacht tender. Both the Fairy and the Elfin have arrived at Woolwich, and having had their masts removed, and their funneli made to lower, in order that they may he enabled to pass under the bridges, are quite ready for the royal river service, but that no mistake may occur on the 30th, the Fairy and Elfin will run up and down the course from the Custom-house to Westminster-bridge on Saturday next, when their efficiency and capability in respect of draught of water, &c., will be thoroughly tested. We believe all the military bands of the metropolis and of Woolwich garrison will be in attendance on this most auspicious occasion. Yesterday the corporation committee for making arrangements for the reception of the Queen, and the committee of aldermen, employed in a similar manner, assembled in Guildhall and were occupied during the day in attending to the minor details of the various duties which have devolved upon them. The whole of the time of the two committees (both whieh the Lord Mayor attends) will be occupied until the de parture of her Majesty. The announcement that the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal are to ac company their royal parents was received most en thusiastically in the committees. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY. The Queen and Prince Albert walked this morn ng in the Slopes. The Royal Family took their usual airings. The Queen, with his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and attended by the Countess of Mount Edge cumbe and General Wemyss, drove in Windsor Park. His Royal Highness Prince Albert went out shoot ing this morning, accompanied by Lord John Russell. Lord Waterpark, General Bowles, and Colonel F. R. Seymour, were in attendance on his Royal highness. The Earl of Carlisle and the Rev. Lord Wriothes ley Russell left the Castle this morning. Sir David Dundas, Judge - Advocate-General, had an audience of the Queen at the Castle to-day, and submitted to her Majesty the proceedings of some courts-martial. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent will dine with the Queen and Prince Albert this evening. Lord and Lady John Russell, and the Hon. Ralph and Lady Mary Abercromby, will join the royal party at dinner. The Countess of Mount Edgecumbe has relieved the Viscountess Canning- in her duty as Lady in Waiting to the Queen. The Earl of Carlisle returned to town yesterday from Windsor Castle. HEALTH of tho QUEEN DOWAGER (From the Court Circular.) Her Majesty the Queen Dowager continues much in the same state of indisposition. Sir David Davies remains in constant attendance, and Dr. Bright also attended her Majesty yesterday, at the Priory, Stan more. THE PLAGUE COMES, AND THE PLAGUE GOES. (From the Illustrated London News.) Not often was crime so unmask'd as now— Oh! not often was earth less blameless; Great crowds seem to Moloch their lives to vow, Red murder floats plumedifrom the Preslin brow— To the god of love few worshippers bow, And all shamef u l thi ngs h ave grown shameless. Unbelief and base sensual greed ingrain The %an texture of modern feelings; And the pitying angels with grief complain That their whisper'd advice is almost vain— That the foulest of passions grimly reign In the midst of the foulest dealings. And loud wars, and rumours of war prevail, And red blood is potted forth like water; And the world is fill'd with a far-spread wail, And such horrors aro done as cannot fail To make men wax furious and women grow pale, With the rage, or the dread, of slaughter! But no more need the murd'rer raise his hand, LI his vengeance or mad contention! A shake has been giv'n to the mortal sand Which metes the days of a numberless band— They are mark'd and call'd to a diff'rent land Oh, brief is their time of dissension! Nor mardcr, nor war, has perform'd the deeds Which a judgment will soon exhibit ; The murd'rer recoils as his victim bleeds, And the conquerer spares certain lands and creeds-- The latter has lines which he ne'er exceeds, And the former still fears the gibbet. But that which is coming cares nought for kind, And respects not any condition ; Its path is mark'd out, though its eyes be blind, And its breath is an arrowy silent wind, And each step it takes is a doom desigu'd, With a sure and a dread precision. The vengeance arrives ; but how changed the view ! While the earth icy stricken and pining, Fair Charity hasten'd, all kind and true, And o'er many a horror its mantle threw, And from rich to poor, like an angel flew, And e'en from above quick relenting drew — For some gold 'mid the dross was shining. the furnace blaz'd, and the furnace burn'd, But the ill was not past redeeming ; The All Gracious Judge something kind discern'd, And hisven y g e e a a r n n ee l t — urn (1, And h his s heart towards a sso m ot e h r '( c l y , and and pardon Oh ' s .some gold 'mid the dross was beaming . MILES GEaALD KEON. EXHIBITION OF THE INDUSTRY OF ALL NATIONS....

The Mayor of Leeds ha s a l so rece i ved an official letter in reference to the subject. The first meeting will be held at Leeds on Monday next, and the others as follows:—At York on Tuesday, at Bradford on Wednesday, at Hudder4field on Thursday, and at Halifax on Friday. WESTMINSTER ABBEY AND PUBLIC STATUES,—A correspondent of the Buildersays—"l visited Westminster Abbey yesterday morning, and was much struck with imposing the statuo of the late Sir W. Follett, b y Behnes; at the same time I could but feel that it ap peared sadly out of its place, and in too crowded a situa tion. What a find occasion this would have been for the commencement of a series of statues of eminent and great men a (particu ' 1 rly with so distinguished a lawyer as the late Sir Wm. Follett), by placing it in West minster Hall instead of the Abbey. It is colossal, and is placed by the side of another statue, which it throws into utter insignificance. Again, how much grander the statue of Lord Maw field would appear if removed to such a situation as above suggested. Further, they mar the Abbey.
