The period is now approaching when opportunities will arise of practically appreciating the value 'of the extensive law reforms which have been effected during the last session of Parliame 4 ,; and as we believe but one opinion prevails as to the important benefits they are calculated to confer upon the public, no party considerations ought to prevent a fair and full acknowledgment of the services of those by whom a result so satisfactory has been achieved. We only regret - that Lord LyNnntlnsx, who lent his aid in forwarding all these movements, did not view the abuses in our Law Courts in the same light ten years ago, as in that case the country would have been saved a great deal of expense, and suitors and insolvents no little inconvenience. But we .must be thankful for what we receive, and make allowances for the vast change which possession of office makes even on virtuous statesmen. No one who remembers the mode in which bank rupts' estates were managed, and the laws relating to that subject aelmi4lttered, prior to 1831, can hesitate to admit the vast improvement effected by the new system, the least important result of which has been the collection of a fund under old and neglected com missions, the mere interest of which is said to be more than sufficient to cover the whole expense of the new Courts. This measure which, as a matter of experi ment, was at first confined to a limited circle around London, has now been in operation for eleven years, and its benefits universally acknowledged. But no , extension of this improved system was carried until the accession of the present Government to power, when a Bill for that purpose formed one of the first objects of Lord LYNDHURST'S attention. In justice, however, to Lord COTTENUAM, it is ne cessary to state, that the Bill was in a great measure Sounded on a similar Bill introduced by him during the preceding session, and that the great merit of the LORD CuANCELLOR consisted in giving full effect to the plan. To this credit Lord LYNDHURST is cer tainly entitled; and consideging the opposition of those interested in maintaining the present abuses, inclukg no fewer than seven or eight hundred pro vincial Commissioners, it is obvious that nothing but a firm determination to exert the whole power of the Government in what he knew to be • a right course could have enabled him to succeed as he has done. A most important appendage to the bankruptcy ex tension is the Insolvent Debtors' Bill, introduced by Lord - BaouGnAm, by which a considerable advance is mad 4 towards the " Cosi° Bonorum" principle, and by which the abolition of imprisonment for debt .may bc, said to be substantially accomplished. To this pro2o4ion the Government willingly gave its sup prt, and by the combined effect of the two measures hive given to the public a system of proceeding, which, although perhaps still susceptible of some improve meat, will unquestionably enable the . law to be ad ministned with advantage and economy to creditors, and ,without cruelty or injustice to those who may, front misfortune, be reduced to a state of insolvency. An Act by Lord LYNDHURST has also been intro duced, having for its object the diMinution of expense and delay in the Court of Chancery. If we remember rightly a similar atterapt was made in 1833, which, h4wever, the then Government was unable to carry against the powerful opposition it encountered, but which, in the last session, was speedily overcome by the willing veney of the LORD CHANCELLOR. The Law ocEVi , ,lence Bill: also, though introduced by an Opposi tion• Peer (Lord',PErimAN), received his support. IVil!ing, however, as we are, to hear an unreluctant testimony to the conduct of the Government, and to the obligations which the country owes them for those important improvements, we deeply regret they should have been induced to postpone, even for a sin gle session, their County Courts Bill, a measure in which the great mass of the people are • more itnine dietay interested than in any other of their legal r ; firm=. We do not believe that this postponement is fairly attributable to party motives, but rather to the interference whichbhe Bill would cause with the private and local interests of certain individuals. We trust, however, that only a very few unnths will elap - ;c: a4i4eci to th 9 athET rer, so sueqt ""I f" , * which may rely upeo frill at ail tilltel• t their A lt, Upoll Other Sub ect%. howe7er oppa,,c.t Or to their generv.l political speculations. The speech of Mr. COBDEN, at tilt) , meeting of th e Anti-Corn-law League in Manchester, on 'Thursday evening last, relative to the disturbances in the mann factoring districts, has created quite a ferment among the -Tory Press. Mr. COBDEN'S hard hits at the Go verweint have told amazingly. The Tory Press doe 3 not like to be told that the infection has spread 'to the middle classes, and that among them the consequences of mal-legislation are numerous conversions to Chartism. Such statements, made by practical, expeAenced men, are calculated .to alarm the Ministry, whose policy must fall to the ground the instant the middle and operative classes make com mon cause with One another. " With regard to the proceedings here," said Mr. COBDEN, alluding to the turn-oui, " lamentable and deplorable as they are, I consider them to be a natural corollary from the pro ceedings in the House of Commons. - I told you this question of the Corn-laws Was settled in the House of Cammpns, so far as argumept and discussion went. The country saw this ; but when the coun t r y saw that truth and justice, though established in the House of Commons, had no effect upon the measures of that 1.14..u5e, what was the conviction which was naturally begot in the rnfnds of a people eminently attached to the principles of truth and justice ? DEsrma ! I do .not speak of the working classes only ; I speak also of the middle classes." The lion. Gentleman then went on to prove this by the number of electors who voted for Chartist candidates at Nottingham, 'Southampton, and Ipswich. With regard to the assertions of the Tories, that the Anti-Corn-law League was at the bottom of the rising- in the manu facturing districts, and supplied the rioters with funds, we quote with pleasure the ample and con clusive contradiction of Mr. COBDEN : Now, gentlemen, I would venture to any, and if nothing else that fell from me should go forth to the public, I hope that this•at least will do so—l will venture to say, in the name of the Council of the Anti-Corn-law- League, that not only did not the members of that body know or dream of . anything of the kind such as has now taken place—l mean the turn-out for wages—not only did they not know, concoct, wish for, or contemplate such things, but I believe the very last thing which the body of our subscriptiOn would have wished for or. desired is the sus pension of their busilms, and the confusion which has taken place in this district. And I pledge my honour as a man, and my reputation as a public man and a pri vate citizen, that there is not the shadow of the shade of ground for the accusation which has been made against us. It is not necessary for us, who haVe always de fendcd the proceedings of the League, knowing as we did, that it - had riothitig to do with the strike, to publish at length Mr. COBDEN'S speech. His arguments against the Corn-laws are familiar to our readers, and the state of the manufacturing districts are become too pain fully familiar to the whole of the inhabitants of the British empire. It even excites continental attention, and in. several of the French journals we find articles on the subject which cannot influence the foreign relations of this country. The Journal des Debate, the organ of the French Court and Ministry, thus commences a long article upon the subject in its num ber of ,Friday The great manufacturing towns of England, which for some days have been given up to anarchy, are gra dually returning to tranquillity. The masses of insur gents having received some lessons, written in blood, dis perse, but murmur vengeance. The machines begin to resume their perpetual revolutions, and the famished workmen raise towards Heaven their henceforth useless arms. Revolt no longer shows itself in the public places, but it still murmurs, and increases in their ulcerated hearts. The cries of hunger have been stifled, and the outbreakings caused by misery have been repressed; but these two hideous spec:res still dwell among the labo rious portion of the people. We fear that there is too much truth in this de • scription of the feelings of the operatives at present. But the evil is not, as the Debats supposes, without a remedy, and a sufficient one too. Our people are still sound at heart ; and it is in the power of the Govern ment, and the two Houses of Parliament, to make them as contented, as cheerful, and as happy, as they are now discontented, distrustful, and wretched. There is no news of any political interest in the Paris journals of Friday and Saturday. The Cham ber of Peers are exceedingly out of humour because the Deputies and the KING have left Paris, and left them to pass the Regency Bill without doing them the compliment to suppose they will propose an amend ment. It would be difficult indeed to manifest greater , contempt for the Chamber of Peers. The King left Neuilly for the Chateau d'Eu last even ing at seven o'clock. In his Majesty's carriage were the Queen, Madame Adelaide, the Duchess de Nemours, Princess Clementine, and the Duke de Montpensier. The Duchess of Orleans, accompanied by the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg, went in a second carriage with the Count de Paris, attended by the Marchioness de Vins. • The Duke de Chartres was in a third carriage, attended by Dr. Blacke. The aides-de-camp and orderly officers of the King, and the ladies of the Queen and Princesses, followed in several other carriages. The cortege was escorted by a picket guard of cavalry. The Prince de Joinville remains at Neuilly, and the Duke d'Aumale at Courbevoie. The King is expected in Paris on Tuesday next. The Duke d'Aumale will shortly go with his regiment to Compiegne, and at a later day join the Royal Family at Eu. BOURSE—PARIS, SATURDAY, AUG. 27. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Piice. Price.

FERMENT AMONG TILE BISIIOPS.—We understand that the serious illness of the Archbishop of Canter bury has occasioned an extraordinary ferment among the Bishops, all of whom are as busy as a certain notorious Personage is said to be in a high wind. Exeter has laid aside his intention of paying a second visit —at the public expense —to the Scilly Islands, and is preparing, instead, a pam phlet, whose object is to prove that the present Government is the best of all possible Governments, and Sir R. Peel the best of all possible Premiers; while London, equally on the alert,, has been seen frequently, within the last few days, flitting uneasily to and fro between Whitehall-gardens and Downing street, and yesterday had not even a spare hour to himself to count the atheistical wherries that floated past Fulham on a pleasure voyage to Richmond. The Episcopal Bench has not been so active as it is now since the death of the last Archbishop, or rather since the majority of the ghostly Prelates combined to throw out the Reform Bill. The news of the Pope's landing at Dover with a cargo of faggots would not occasion half such an excitement among them. We sincerely trust that to et' tie ,ArchbishoVs flealth may be t;iyi,tlrable, for he is reilv II:kiln - 11v and tolerant clergy urdl!. ail(I convalescence 41 tend to calm ffec.:tionat' and d!Sinterested.

SUMMARY OF NEWS AND 43ttbitt 14: Wilton. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. in the French Chamber of Peers on Saturday afternoon, the Duke de Broglie read the Report of the Commission of the Peers on the Regency Bill. It is a long document, and concludes by recom mending unanimously the passing of the project of law as voted by the Deputies. The Journal des Debats of Saturday has a remark- able article on our late troubles, the tendency of which is to feed the war-cry in France. We do not say that this was the intention of. the writer, but when he puts forth an argument that our social evils are beyond the reach of legislative remedy, and that England is staggering and must fall from the intoxi cation produced by over speculation and production, the Debats does more to promote the desire of collision with this country than the rabid attacks of the Presse and National. The repulse of Captain Smith's one hundred men, at Port Natal, is welcome food to several of the Paris papers. One of them has made a singular discovery. This is nothing less than the existence of deep and wide-spread conspiracy existing amongst the British officers in India, both of the Company's service and of the Line, to separate the Indian empire from Britain, and constitute themselves its head. The Frankfort journals assert, that Belgium has entered into a commercial treaty with the German League, similar to that just concluded with France, allowing the silks and wines of Germany to enter at the same duties. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COUI?i'. THE CHARTIST MEETINGS.— William Taylor, a plasterer, aged 39, was placed at the bar, charged with feloniously cutting and wounding Robert Col lins, a constable of polite, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. In another count he was charged with obstructing the constable in the execu tion of his duty. No counsel appeared for the prosecutioq, but Mr. Paine defended the prisoner. The charge arose out of the occurrences that took place at the Chartist meeting on Kennington-common last Monday.. Robert Collins, police-eenstable No. 108 V, deposed that after the police had dispersed the meeting on the Common, the prisoner and several other persons assailed the police with stones, one of which was thrown by the prisoner, and struck witness upon the head. The prisoner then rushed in upon witness and wrenched his staff from him, with which he struck him violently about the head. . Other policemen came to his assistance, and a souffle ensued ' in which, by the pressure of the mob, witness and several of his fellows were pushed doWn, but they retained their hold of the prisonercind ultimately succeeded in con veying him to the station-house in'Tower-street. Henry Knutford;:police con's.table 87 L, corrobo rated Collins's evidence. In his cross-examination (by Mr. Payne) the witness denied. that he had been drinking that morning:- The Superintendent had taken precautions that no constable should have more than one pint orporter, and that only at dinner time. John Brown, a Chelsea pensioner,. was passing over the Common at the time of, the scuffle, and saw the prisoner throw stones at the polie,emen, and "go into close fight" with - some of them. The crowd pressed en the police to rescue the prisoner, but witness ; ho) his walking-stick at them, and they fell back. —(A laugh.) He flourishecihis stick as he would a fencing-stick, and that kept .the mob back.—(A laugh.) tie (witness) was employed that day in delivering papers for the Income-tax, and he went to the common, on his way home, t o see what the "gen tlemen would do rtho wanted. to divide all the pro perty in the country, and.make us all equal." Mr. PAYNE addressed the Jury for the prisoner, who, he said, was on the evening in question return ing from his work, ignorant even that a meeting was to take place on the Common, when he found himself in the midst of the police, and was seized and very roughly handled. This provoked him, and a struggle ensued, in. which he wrested from one of the police a truncheon that was lifted up to fell him, before he knew what he was attacked for. Several respectable witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent character. Mr. Holden, builder, of Vere-street, Clare•market, said that the prisoner had been in his employment four years as foreman, having from eight to eleven men under him. He was married and had five children. There could not be a more peaceable dis creet man in the world, nor could • there be a better man to his wife and children. Mr. Baron RoLen in summing up, said that there seemed nothing -whatever to sustain the first count of the indictment, as there could be no pretence for saying that the prisoner assaulted the prosecutor with an intention to do him grievous bodily harm. The wit nesses for the prosecution, had positively deposed that the prisoner was one e those who threw stones ; but even if he were not, but was one of the crowd from which the stones were thrown, and only gave that crowd countenance by his presence and encouragement, he would be guilty un der the second count, which charged him with resist ing his lawful capture. The Jury having deliberated nearly an hour, found the prisoner Guilty, but strongly recommended him to mercy on account of his previous good character. Mr. Baron RoLrm said that he concurred with the Jury in their verdict, and in the recommendation with which they accompanied it. But he should not do his duty if he did not sentence the prisoner to a pu nishment of some severity. The sentence was, that he should be confined for three calendar months, and kept to hard labour. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) EMBEZZLEMENT.—James Brim Fe, aged 39, was . indicted with embezzling and stealing 121., and other sums, the propriety of Joseph Price, his master. From the evidence on the part of the prosecution, it appeared that Messrs. Price and Co. carried on the business of carpet and furniture manufacturers in Compton-street, and King-street, Snow-hill. The pri soner at the bar had the conducting of that branch of the business which was carried on in Compton-street ; for doing so he had a salary of 30s. a week, and it was his business also to collect and pay monies, and hand the balance over to his' master. In the discharge of his duty he had received the various sums charged in the indictment, which he had not accounted for. Mr. Bodkin prosecuted the prisoner ; and Mr. Crouch appeared in his defence. The Jury, without the slightest hesitation, found the prisoner Guilty. There were two other indictments charging the prisoner with embezzling money to the amount of upwards of 501., which the Court thought it un necessary to proceed with. Mr. BODKIN observed, that altogether the prisoner was charged with embezzling upwards of 801. Mr. CROUCH had been instructed to state that the prosecution had been instituted from vindictive motives. • Mr. BODKIN felt sure that the prisoner had fallen into some of the bad hands who were always hanging about the Court to entrap prisoners, and often gave them advice which injured instead of improving their case. Mr. PHILIPS—It was to be lamented that many of such persons were not hanging outside the Court. The COMMON.SERGEANT sentenced the prisoner to seven years' transportation. Win. Gillett was indicted for stealing two loaves of bread, value 6d., the property of Wm. Reynolds. The prisoner pleaded Guilty,' and on being asked by the Learned Common Sergeant why he had com mitted the theft, he stated that he did it through hunger, having had no food for two days. The LEARNED JUDGE sentenced him to ten days' imprisonment, to be computed from the first day of the session. THE MARKETS--(THIS' DAY.)

Her Majesty, Prince Albeit, and suite left Windsor Castle this morning at 20 minutes past five, and ar rived at the Paddington terminus •at 10 minutes to six. The Royal cortege consisted of two carriages, the first of which contained the,Queen and her Bins trious Consort, and the second her attendants. To prevent accidents there were placed between the tender and the Royal carriage, a saloon ; a private, and a second class carriage. Crimson 9loth had been spread along the platform, and the Royal party were received by C. Russell, Esq., M.P., Chairman of Directors, and Seymour Clark, Esq., Surerintendent o the Company. From the terminus they started direct for Deptford, where relays of horses were waiting to convey them to Woolwich:- EMBARKATION OF HER MAJESTY AT WOOLWICH, ON BOARD THE ROYAL GEORGE, THIS MORNING. _ _ It having been generally known for some days past that it was her Majesty s intention to embark this morning, at seven o'clock, from Woolwich for Leith, great preparations had been made by the steam-boat proprietors for the immense number of passengers who it was supposed would leave London at an early hour this morning, for the purpose of witnessing the departure of our beloved Sovereign from the shores of England. The town of Woolwich has for the last two days been crowded with persons having little faith in their own : powers of early rising, and determined to secure themselves against the chance of disappointment. The event proved that they acted wisely. It was expected that the scene of embarka tion would have eclipsed in grandeur even the me morable launch of "the Trafalgar" last year, but those expectations were doomed to be sadly disap pointed. The morning at four o'clock was calm and beautiful, and gave every promise of a fine day. As the day broke, however ' the clouds began to gather, and at a quarter befor e five the rain commenced fall ing in torrents, and continued in one unintermitted pour until after eight o'clock. Many persons who had as sembled on the piers along the banks of the river, for the purpose of embarking in the first boat for Wool wich, Which started at five o'elock, returned home. The proprietors - of the excursion boats looked aghast. "- How long before you start, Captain ?" was the question put repeatedly... by those who dared abide " the pelting of the pitiless storm." "As soon . as we • can get a freight," was the ominous answer. At length some of the boats took their de parture, and` dreary and dismal was the progress down the river. The weather was in every sense of the word' a damper. :The first object that indicated anything like •a jour de fete was the sight of the Hospital-ship " Dreadnought" tastefully decorated with flags. The rain at about half-past six o'clock somewhat abated; this was just as Woolwich, with its dockyards and its shipping, hove in sight, and as the boat approached Woolwich, the sight, notwith standing. the chilling influence of the weather, was exciting in the extreme. " The Royal George," with the Royal standard flying at her main, her yards manned, and her officers and men at quarters, formed the most conspicuous object. Close alongside her was the Commissioners' yacht, the "William and Mary, with her yards manned. She was pro fusely decorated with flags. The Lightning, the Salamander, the Monkey, and several other steam vessels were in attendance. Flags were seen floating over the dock-yard, the barracks, the arsenal, and the other public buildings. The shores on both sides were crowded with spectators whose loy alty was proof against the weather, and, the coup d'ceil was animating in the extreme. Precisely at seven o'clock a Royal salute, fired from a battery sta tioned in the dockyard, answered by another salute from the arsenal, announced the embarkation of her Majesty. In the course of a few seconds the Royal George, got under weigh, and being taken in tow by the steam-tug Monkey, W. Bryant, proceeded at a rapid rate down the river. Immediately that her Majesty, with Prince Albert, and their suite got on board they sought shelter from the storm in the cabin, from the windows of which Prince Albert acknow ledged 'the cheers with which they were greeted by the persons on board the different vessels as they passed. The Royal George was preceded by the Light ning steamer, Lieut. G. Snell, which cleared the way for the progress of the Royal fleet, also the Shearwater e Captain Wmhington, the Fearless (steamer), Captain P. tuilock, anol4 RhaAamanthus Lieut. T. Laen, brought up the rear. A s the Royal fleet passed down the river, royal salutes were fired 'from the barracks and from the arsenal, as well as from . the Dockyard. The proprietor of. Roph's wharf showed his respect to her Majesty, by causing a battery of six small guns to be erected on the landing place of the wharf, and saluting the IloyaLyacht as passed down the river. The other vessels men- tioried in another part of The Sun, as being ordered to accompany her Majesty on her voyage, will with the exception of the Salamander, detained at Woolwich in consequence of an accident happening to one of her paddle-wheels, join the Royal George at the Nore, where the Royal fleet will be saluted by . the Camper.• down, flag ship. The yachts in .commission belonging to the Royal Yacht Squadron, will likewise join her Majesty at the Nore. Her Majesty, with Prince Albert and their suite, arrived at ' Woolwich shortly before seven o'clock in three carriages, attended by a guard of honour from Prince Albert's own regiment of Hussars. On their arrival at the dockyard the Royal party were received by the Earl of Haddington, Sir George Cockburn, and the other Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty in attendance, and accompanied by his Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge, proceeded at once to ' the place of embarkation. A flooring was laid across the grand parade, which, was covered with scarlet cloth. The ground was kept by the Marines ; the Cadets of the Royal Military Academy were likewise in attendance in the dockyard. Orders had been issued in the early part of the week, that previous to, and during the embarkation of her Ma jesty, lib one should be admitted • into the Dock-yard but officers in full uniform, and these orders were most rigidly enforced. Her AkieSty e mb ar k e d f rom the dock-yard steps, on board the Admiralty barge, the crew of which were dressed in their state liveries, and was by them rowed on board the Royal George, a distance not exceeding 300 yards.. Her Majesty cheered on leaving . the shore. and again on Errivin:x at the Her - .1 - 2,iestv- up mtemmudation !adder from the bargt to th2l-1.0...-al C4eorge.- on board. ;• 12i:_;11 , ,,he Was receis ed b 2. Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence anl'his officers. His Lordship, • who had slept at the' dock-yard, went on board this morning about five o'clock. Shortly after her Alajesty's embarkation the rain ceased, the sky cleared, the sun•shone o ut, and the weather became altogether as bright as the early part 'of the morning had been .lowering, so that there is every prospect that the sincere wishes of her Majesty's loyal subjects, that she may have a pleasant and prosperous voyage, will be fully gratified. (FROM A CORRESPONDE T. ) Among the Noblemen and Officers present in the Dockyard were— Earl Delawarr, Lord Chamberlain ; Lord jcvsev, Master of the Horse ; Earl of Liverpool, L or d Steward ; Lord Itaddington;. Sir :Robert Stopford Sir George Cockburn ; Lord Bloomfield, Superinten ding Governor of the Arsenal ; Col. Sir Il ug h R oss ; Sir - George Hoste, Commandant of th e E ng i neers ; Colonels Dyneley, Lacy, nundas, llacbean, &c.,,c.,. o f the Royal Horse Artillery. Sir Francis Collyer and Sir George Cockburn un dertook the active superintendence of the arrange ments, in which they were ably assisted by . .11r. Oliver Lang, Master-shipwright of the dockyard. Precisely at half-past six o'clock, the Duke of Cambridge arrived, and was received by Lord Bloom field and Earl nelawarr. lie remained for some minutes in conversation with the military officers in attendance. • At fifteen minutes to ;even an orderly of the gallopped into the ytrd with the intimation that her Majest y was close at hand, and immediately after the Royal carriage was seen to approach. The Royal suite consisted of three carriages. In the first rode her Majesty and Prince Albert ; in the second the Duchess of Norfolk and Miss Matilda Paget (the ladies in waiting on the Queen), with Colonel Bouverie ; in the third were Captain Meynell, Colonel 11rylde, and Mr. Anson, the attendant equerries on duty. The Royal carriage drove up close to the stairs, which were covered with green baize, and on her Majesty alighting she was received by her Royal relative and Lord Jersey. Her Majesty was dressed in blue satin, over which she wore a white figured cachmere shawl. A white bonnet, trimmed with roses, completed her attire. His Royal Highness wore the undress of his regiment, with a military cloak thrown over his shoulder. Notwithstanding the early hour (five o'clock) at which the Royal party left Windsor, both the Queen and her august Consort looked remarkably well. On walking down the steps, the Duke of Cambridge held the right hand of her Majesty, and just before ketting her foot in the barge, the Queen paused, and his Royal Highness said, under much emotion, " God bless you; I wish you every human happiness," affectionately embracing his Royal niece at the same time. The word of command was now given by Sir Frances Collier, who himself steered the Admiralty boat, and the oars dashed through the water towards the Royal yacht, amid the deafening cheers of all those assembled to witness the spirit-stirring scene. The Earl of Liverpool, as Lord Steward, - accom panied her Majesty, and with Sir James Clark, her Majesty's physician, is on board the Shearwater. Dr. Reid is in the Royal yacht for the purpose of superin tending his ventilating apparatus. The -Duke of Cambridge, Earl .Delawarr, Lord Jersey, and a large party of military and naval officers, breakfasted with Lord Bloomfield after her Majesty's departure. BER MAJESTY AT THE NORE. (BY EXPRESS.) City of Boulogne Steamer, Half-past Two. The general expectation that her MAJESTY would depart for Scotland this morning, excited a good deal of interest at Boulogne yesterday afternoon, and numbers took advantage of the time appointed for the sailing of that favourite boat, the City ofßoulogne, Captain TUNE, which left Boulogne at three o'clock this morning. The rain poured down in torrents, yet upwards of one hundred passengers came on board, trusting to better weather. And so it proved. The dawn ushered in a beautiful morning, and every heart was glad that her MAJESTY would enjoy a fine passage. It was now near ten o'clock, and the Cam perdown, three-decker, towered majestically above the other ships and vessels at the Nore. The flag ship was gay as the morning, with a profusion of flags flying from stem to stern, right over the mast heads ; the camperdown, was alone in her glory, for the Pique and Daphne, which accom pany her MAJESTY, lay quietly at anchor waiting the arrival of the Royal squadron. As the City of Boulogne neared the flag-ship, Cap tain TUNE passed under her stern in slap-dash style, and fired a gun—the steamer, dressed off as gaily as the Camperdown, with all the colours of the rain bow flying aloft and along the rigging, &c. It was a beautiful sight, and the officers of the Cam perdown, as well as a number of military officers of rank from Sheerness, seemed to onjoy the scene. The crew of the Camperdown were all in white, waiting to man yards on the arrival of the QUEEN. At a quarter past ten a steamer was descried in ad vance of the Royal squadron, and far in the distance a dense cloud of smoke betokened the advent of her MAJESTY. Indeed, .so dense was the smoke that it was half-past ten before we could distinguish anything distinctly ; presently the cloud cleared away, and ushered the Royal standard to the admiring gaze of a thousand loyal hearts. It was a stirring sight, eight or ten steamers, and other vessels, under a press of sail, bearing down towards the sea, with colours flying, and all in happy cheer. At a quarter to eleven, we came up with the Royal squadron, off Leigh, the Royal George yacht, towed by two steamers, " walking the waters like a thing of life," in towering majesty and singular beauty, as contrasted with the surrounding steamers, blowing their clouds of loyalty in streaming profusion. The scene at this moment was exceedingly pictu resque ; there was upwards of a hundred sail of vessels in full view, decked off "in their best," of flag, and sail, and smoke ; nor was the coast on either shore wanting in expressions of gladness—for hamlet, tower, and beacon, Coast Guard station, fishing-boat and all, vied with each other in general demonstrations of loyalty and zeal. The City of Boulogne was now abeam of the Royal yacht, when Captain TUNE, with his accustomed loyalty, saluted her MAJESTY with twenty-one guns— and one gun more for the Prince of IVALES and the Prin cess Royal—amid the enthusiastic cheers of all on board, and the unexpected but welcome surprise of the Royal squadron. The City of Boulogne hove to as the Royal squadron passed in gallant style. The Royal yacht was towed by two steamers— on her starboard bow lay the Wa terman No. 1; a-beam the Pearl ; and the Ariel on her starboard quarter. On her larboard beam lay the General Steam Navigation's splendid steamer Trident, and several other steamers, all crowded with passengers, exulting in the general enthusiasm. Her MAJESTY did not appear on deck, probably owing to the constant cloud of smoke issuing from all the steamers ; and the wind being right a-head it blew all over the Royal yacht, but this annoyance would cease on passing the Nore, for the wind would then be abaft the beam, and quite favourable for the voyage. About half-past eleven the Royal squadron reached the Nore--when the scene was still more grand and imposing, amid the salutes of the Camperdown, Pique, and Daphne, with their yards manned in tru e English fashion and hearty enthusiasm. For the, Red Boat at the Nore Never witnessed such before We are indebted to the politeness of Captain TUNE, and his excellent steamer, the City of Boulogne, for being able to give this rapid account of a scene so in teresting to all our readers. Indeed, since her new refit, the City is now a very commodious, fast, and very general favourite with the public, both here and at Boulogne. " Telegraph-office, Aug. 29,1842. " The following was received through Watson's Telegraph this morning:— " The Royal squadron, with her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and suite, was off the Nore Light at 11 o'clock this morning. Her Majesty's yacht, Royal George, in tow by two steamers. The Royal Squadron was received at the Nore by a Royal salute from her Majesty's ship Camperdown, (Admiral Sir Edw. Brace, C. 8.) The Pique frigate, and the Daphne, and other vessels; with their yard manned. A great number of yachts, steamers, and boats of all descriptions, were assembled to see her Majesty pass. The scene is described as being most animated. The wind from the eastward, light breeze, and fine. The Royal squadron, in passing her Majesty's Yacht, communicated with Watson's Telegraph Sta;- tion there, and reported " All's well," at half-past twelve. Her Majesty's ships Pique and Daphne were still at anehor off the Nore Light. The Royal squadron passed Herne- Bal. at half past twelN e. 6-eneral Steam igdtion ve6sel the Ocean, J. C.

PRICE Or BREAD In DUELIN.—The monstrous i imposition practised on the publi c i n up h o ldi ng the high price of bread, nob thstandin g the imtnense reduction in the rates of flour, is at letigth taken up here by the Press. The Mercantile Advertiser of this evening re marks—" According to the market note struck this after noon, there will be a reduction of One halfpenny in the 41b. loaf next week ; the price of bread .of the first quality is to be 8 id., and of the second ;id. the 41b. loaf, But this trifling reduction, thus tardily conceded, is not half what the public are fully entitled to. We learn froM a Correspondent that the Board of the South Dublin Poor-law Union yesterday completed a contract for the supply of bread of the best second quality at the rate of sid. the 41b. loaf. The price to be charged the public by the Dublin bakers next week, for the same class of bread, is 74,-d., being the enormous difference of 2d. upon 5111., more than a third of the price of the loaf as sold to the Poor-law Union The public have great reason to complain of this groom injustice." Near Orilla, says a letter from Murcia, is a foun tain of salt water, which the poor inhabitants employtd tOr various daily uses, such as making bread and cook ing vegetables. Some individuals, having all at once thought of turning it t.) account as a salt-pit, flung in some poisonous herbs, to prevent the inhabitants from . soaking use of it any l onger. Th ey, being ignorant of what had been done, used the water as usual, and are now in a dreadful state, for a malignant fever has seized on the population, and the flocks have been decimated from drinking at the spring.
