That loyalty which has on so many memorable occasions peculiarly distinguished the citizens of London—which demolished a \Vat Tyler in Smith• field, and settled the fate of a Jack Cade—was evinced in a reinarkable degree to-day on the visit of the Royal Consort of Victoria, and the Prince of %Vales and the Princess Royal, to the opening of the New Coal Exchange. Such an event could not be looked upon but as one of great importance in the annals of the City. The first visit and introduction of a youthful Prince of Wales—the future hope, and it may be, the pride and glory of the kingdom—to the most renowned corporation in the world is an event which our chronologists have occasion only at very long intervals to record, and therefore may be fitly and judiciously chosen as a period for a great civic demonstration. May it not reasonably be expected, as this is his first appearance in public—his debut, as it were, in that public character in which perchance he may afterwards be so much distinguished—that the warmth and loyalty of his reception by the citizens will not only never be effaced from his mind, but will induce him by every act of his subsequent career to win their attachment ? The disappointment of the public at the absence of the Queen was of course considerable, and might have had some effect in lessening the number of spectators; and it was only exceeded by the regret universally felt at that unfortunate indisposition which prevented her honouring the ceremony with her attendance. The public, no doubt, would have been favourable to a postponement until her Majesty was convalescent, but, with that characteristic goodness which so much distinguishes our Sovereign, she was unwilling to sacrifice all the trouble and expense to which the Corporation had gone in preparing for her reception. By that happy fatality which has accorded, almost in every instance, fine weather to royal processions during the present reign, the day was as beautiful and the air as mild as the most hopeful pleasure-seeker could desire. The Goddess Aurora, as if to show her approbation of the interesting ceremony, ushered into existence one of those delightful mornings which, even at this advanced period. of the year, are not altogether foreign to our hemisphere. And the sub sequent applause of the day did not leave unfulfilled the promises of the morning, for as it advanced the shy became clearer, the sun brighter, and the atmos phere more salubrious. The spirits of all were con sequently cheered and exhilerated, and a zest created for a thorough enjoyment of the spectacle about to be witnessed. The more immediate scene of action—the neigh bourhood of the Coal Exchange—presented an ap pearance of extraordinary excitement and gaiety. The Corporation and their officials seemed to be in a perfect fury about the importance and responsibilities of their position, and could only be compared to a man coming into some unexpected good fortune, and being incapable, from the suddenness of the change, of distinguishing between standing upon his head, and assuming his proper perpendicular. If their loyalty had been confir.ed under hydraulic pressure, and had suddenly got a vent, their anxiety to give expression to it could not have been snore unbounded. They were all attired in Court dresses, wearing at the same time their scarlet gowns and their chains and insignia of office, and they certainly did no discredit to the rich and powerful constituency which they represented. The Aldermen who had passed the chair, and a priori partaken most frequently of "ye sumptuous feasts of ye ancient City," spoke volumes by their appear ance of the hospitality of the Corporation, for each of them represented a corporation in his own person. We were disappointed in finding the absence of that well-known class of individuals who, with what Justice we will leave the initiated to ask, have acquired a world-wide reputation ; we allude to the fish wives of Billingsgate. Although they may he presumed to have a somewhat dubious claim to the respect of the public, there cannot be a shadow of a doubt that there is not a more loyal and patriotic array of women in the kingdom. What would have been a more interesting sight than an assemblage of these redoubtable characters, not in their fishey dresses, but in their best attire, with clean aprons, gay ribbons, and jolly rubican countenances, which would even bear comparison with an Alderman ? A visit from a Prince of Wales would have set them almost mad, and made them as enamoured of the little fellow as the ladies of Scotland were of Prince Charlie. Un fortunately, these members of the softer sex have got into bad repute, not so much through their own acts as through their tongues; but it should be recollected that their ♦ocabulary is as necessary to the sale of fish as French is to a schoolmaster; and that, bad as some think it is, it has been sadly corrupted by foreign importations, for no slang phrase gets into circulation now•a•days but it is said to belong to the lexicon of Billingsgate. ST. JAMES'S AND TIIE GREEN PARKS. These parks were the scene of great bustle and animation as early as nine o'clock this morning, being thronged with respectably-dressed persons, who were anxious to catch a sight of the Royal party on their arrival from Windsor, and the excitement was increased by a report that was current that her Majesty was so far recovered that she intended to be present. At twenty minutes before ten o'clock two royal carriages and two pri vate carriages for the servants left Buckingham Palace for the Great 'Western station at Paddington, to bring the Royal party to Buckingham Pa'ace. PADDINGTON STATION. At twenty minutes before ten o'clock the special train, bringing Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and their suite, arrived at the Paddington station. The Prince, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal, who were all dressed very plainly, upon alighting from the royal carriage were received by the directors and several officers of the company, who handed them to the carriages that were waiting for them, and the royal party immediately drove off to BUCKINGHAM PALACE. The Prince and his two august Children arrived at Buckingham Palace at a quarter before eleven oo clock; and here the party who bad expected the Queen were doomed to disappointment, as the Prince wan only accompanied by the Princess Royal and the Prince of Wales. Among the equipages that passed the Palace on their way to Whitehall, we noticed those of the Marquis of Cholmondely, General Brown, the Deputy-Adjutant Lieutenant, the Duke of Rutland, Lord and Lady Russell and their tw o daughters, Lord Foley, Sir A. Howard, and the Duke of Wellington. The Noble Duke was in his old state carriage, he was dressed in a Field-Marshal's uni form, and appeared in good health and spirits . At i_ 1111 -past eleven o'clock a guard of honour, composed of a detachment of the lit Life Guards, arrived, and took up their station outside the garden gate. This detachment was quickly followed by a posse of the A division of police, under the command of Superintendent Russell. Shortly before twelve o'clock a second guard of honour, consisting of a detachment of the Fusilier Guards, arrived at the Palace, and took their station within the garden gate. The band of the regiment shortly followed and Played several airs in the garden. At twelve o'clock three royal carriages arrived at the palSce. The first drawn by two cream-coloued horses, the second by two noble black ones, anti the third by two splendid bays. Immediately on their arrival they entered at the garden-gate, in order to receive their royal and distinguished intended occu pants. At a quarter past twelve o'clock the band struck uP ',God save the Queen," and immediately afterwards the royal party proceeded to Whitehall in the follow ing order : ......q..,.1•••• THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 30, 1849. A Ltachment of the Life Guards. Th;! Master of the Horse in a roy'_J state carriage, drawn by two black horses. Anoth(ir royal state wtriiage, drawn by two bay it- , rse, , , containing the Dowager Lady Lyttleton and several meatbers of the R , lyal Househeld ; and A third royal state carriage, in which were his Royal Flightless Prince Albert, who was dressed in a Field-Matshal's uniform, her Royal nighties's the Princess Royal, who wore a pink sick drawn bonnet and blue dress; his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, who wore a blue yd. vet sailor's jacket, with gold naval buttons and white waistcoat and trousers, and one of the Prince's Equerries. The Piincess Royal, who sat on the left hand of her Royal Father, kept looking out of the winnow, and appeared to enjoy the scene before her. The Prince of Wales sat opposite his august parent, but did not scem to take the interest or appear so lively as his royal sister. The last carriage was followed by another detachment of the Life Guards. The procession then proceeded at a rapid rate up the Mall into St. James's Park, and through the Horse Guards to Whitehall. The royal party were most enthusiastically cheered the whole way by an immense crowd of most re spectably-dressed persons, and repeatedly bowed their acknowledgments. General regret, however, was expressed at the absence of her IViajeity and its cause. race ranging along the front of the river, had been i,sued to the offier:rs of the respective dopartmmts fur themsives and friends. Indeed from Westminster bridge to the Towe: of London, on each side Gf the river, bu'c, more especially on the City side, the wharfs, jetties, windows, steps, terraces, roofs, avenues, streets, &c., as also the decks of steamers, barges and boats, from the water's edge to the line of proce , , , sion, and the bridges and piers, were densely crowded with the tceming population of this mighty ietrupol is. THE DISE KBARKATION. Of all the scenes we have ever witnessed that which occurred to-day on the Custom House Quay is the most amusing and ridiculous. The arrangements for the disembatkation were of the most faulty and defective nature. True, the quay itself and the many approaches to it were elaborately and tastefully fitted up, but neither the. police nor those who had the immediate control of the ceremonies observed anything like order or civility, and the scene, though gorgeous and imposing, was ever and anon disturbed ith noisy altercations between parties who had been favoured with tickets, but could not be accom modated with seats, and busy bewildered officials. It was with the utmost difficulty that we secured a standing place at al!. Our card of admission was treated with derision, and neither entreaties nor persuasion commanded respect from the military police, or the civic functionariei. At length, however, our importunities becoming rather troublesome to the individual who had charge of the main entrance, we were favoured with a back seat in the vicinity of Billingsgate, shut out from the river, and where nothing could be seen, and where we were kept a prisoner till the Prince and the procession had passed into the Exchange. "Thank God," we mentally jaculated, "it is over at last, now we may have a chance of escaping from a hole-and-corner posi tion, and taking a hurried view of the river." But how sadly were we mistaken; an order was given that no one was to be allowed to leave their seats till the procession had returned ; and again we had fruitlessly to exercise the humble powers of persuasion we are gifted with to con vince a policeman and a private in the Artillery Company, of the absurdity of keeping us imprisoned when we ought to be penning a feeble description of what had been going forward. Alas, it was all to no purpose, the policemen said " them is my orders, and the ,nillintarics too, you can't stir," and at the risk of being arrested or breaking our necks, or drowning, we forced our way through the crowd, scaled a wall, dropped into a boat, and then, with the aid of a boatman, effected a landing on Nicholson's Wharf. The river, of which we could obtain only an occasional glimpse, was literally bristling with craft of every conceivable size and description, all swarming with men, women, and children attired in the gayest fashions of the day. To the westward, London bridge could he seen peering up above the masts of vessels, thronged of course from end to end ; while the tops of the buildings on either side of the Thames as far as the eye could reach were alive with eager spectators. On the quay, besides the band of the Grenadier Guards, there were several others equally numerous and efficient, and their splendid performances served well to relieve the tedium of the mornirg. The distance from the landing stairs to the great entrance to the Exchange was covered hi with illuminated, glazed calico, gateries being fitted up on each side for the accommodation of those who were fortunate enough to obtain tickets, and were earliest on the ground ; of course every available spot from which even a glance at the illustrious visi tors could be secured was occupied. The passage was guarded by the Royal Artillery, Company, who, although under the command of Captain Fitzroy, M.P., handled their arms and exe cuted their evolutions in a somewhat clumsy manner, to the no small amusement of the ladies, while files of the Grenadier Guards were stationed immediately on tile quay, and surrounding the landing ylaee, which had been erected for the occasion, and which was gaily decorated with banners, shrubs, and flowers. Shortly before one o'clock the echo of distant shouts came looming through the fine clear morning air, .announcing the approach of the pageant ; and as the first boat shot through the centre arch of the bridge, a salute of ordnance thundered forth, completely stifling the loyal and enthusiastic shouts of the populace. Eventually all the vessels engaged in the procession pulled up to the landing punt, and the Prince Consort, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal were handed on shore, and received by the Corporation of the City, headed by the Right Honourable the Recorder, the Duke of Cam bridge, the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Angle sea, the Marquia of Clanricarde, Lord Campbell, the Right Hon. Mr. Goulburn, and Lord Dudley Stuart, who had arrived upon the spot a few minutes previ ously. Immediately upon the Prince disembarking a flourish of trumpets was sounded, and the band struck up the National Anthem. The order of pro cession was then formed as follows : City Marshals. Common Council. Sheriffs. Aldermen. The Illustrious Visitors, surrounded by the great Officers of State. As the illustrious party passed through the covered passage they were welcomed with loud huzzas and reiterated cries of " Long Live the Queen," which the Prince ackowledged with his well-known ease and grace. lie held the Princess Royal with her right hand, and the Prince of \Vales with his left. The royal children were attended by Lady Lyttleton. Scarcely had the procession dis appeared than the shouts of welcome were renewed, and tall portly gentleman, attired in the uniform of a deputy-lieutenant, was seen advancing in the distance. Ns he approached near to us we recognized in him Sir Robert Peel. The Right Hon. Baronet who was alone, smiled and bowed to the gay company he was passing through, and seemed highly delighted with the reception they gave him. The round tent at the landing•place is 65 feet diameter. There are 400 feet of marquee covering, 36 feet in width, leading from the landing-plar:e to Thames street. ACIOS3 Thames street to the Coal Exchange there are 150 feet of maiquee tenting, 50 feet wide : the whole lined whh scarlet and white drapery. The round tent is decorated inside with trophies and flags. The whole erected by Mr. B. Edgington, Duke-street, Borough. THE INTERIOR OF THE COAL-EXCHANGE. The interior of the Coal-Exchange presented a ,pectacie seldom or never perhaps witnessed in the city of London. In no building in the me tropolis could a more imposing effect be ob tained by the congregation of beauty, rank, und fashion, or one more gratifying to those who formed the throng, than the Coal -Exchange honoured by the presence of royalty to-day. Its circular shape, moderate size, and spacious galleries, running up to the very summit of the edifice—up to the very dome—and the taste and elegance of the interior of the edifice itself, and the full view which may be obtained from every part of it, may be set down as the cause of this. Indeed your Opera-house and your ordinary theatre sink into the shade in comparison with the perfect panorama which the wandering gaze of the spectator may feast upon. But when the spacious floor was thronged with hundreds of beautiful and splendidly attired city dames, wearing handsome and chaste head-dresses (and emong whom, we may remark, the beautiful brocade of ancient days resusciated with a splendour which was not its wont, predominated), and each tier thronged, though not inconveniently so, with ladies, Common Councilmen, and well_dressed gentlemen, the scene was perfection itself. But as the time wore on, for long before ten o'clock the interior of the edifice presented the scene we have so faintly endeavoured to pourtray, the picture grew in beauty, like a dull landscape under the cheering influence of the sun. The Aldermen in their furred gowns came in one by one, with their dame s and " ladies byte,"' and took up their position on the floor, which had been] railed off, so as to present a', perfect amphitheatre. Then came the City guard of bononr,; composed of eflicers of the City Artillery, who took up their position at the northern door, whose martial appenraica, soldier like attitude, and silver epr..ulats, lent a pretty echur to the scene. Inum,diately oi,posite the entrance., and on the eastern side of the Exchange, were placed three chairs, magnificently decorated and lined with crim , son velvet, on a :lightly-raised dais of crimson velvet ch:th. That to the right Nvai surmounted by the Prince of Wales's feathers, a magnificent plume truly, with the motto " Ich dien" round the festoon that bound them. The back ground was lined with fluted white satin, and the whole was surmounted by a splendid canopy of flowing curtains of crimson velvet, over which was placed a gold crown and cushion. Shortly before 12 o'clock Lord Campbell, attired in a very imposing dress of black velvet, entered the arena, and was immediately introduced to the Lady Mayoress (Mrs. Hill), whose imposing appearance was the theme of much admiration. Her Ladyship wore a dress of rich satin brocade, with light green flowers on a white ground, a handsome white spotted ermine mantle, and a head-dress simply composed of a tiara of diamonds, with a necklace and stomacher of the same superb richness. At 12 o'clock the Duke of Wellington entered the Exchange, and was received with much applause, which the gallant veteran gracefully acknowledged. His Grace wore the uniform of a Field-Marshal, and looked in as good health as in spirits. The Noble Duke was immediately followed by the Duke of Cambridge, who was heartily received, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl of Devon, and by a number of the members of the corps diplomatique. A body guard of officers of the horse Guards here took up their stations round the arena, each bearing a spear, and also on the first tier, on which had been erected a marble bust of the Queen. In one of the compartments, on the second tier, was stationed the band of the Horse Guards, which during the morning enlivened the tedium consequent upon waiting by many beautiful airs. In the different recesses attached to each tier, in tended for: the exhibition of specimens of the different kinds of coal, an excellent cold collation had been laid for the visitors, who had strict injunctions given to them not to eat or sup until the Prince had passed into his shallop—a request we may, perhaps unne cessarily, observe . that was most religiously complied with. In one of the recesses attached to the floor, shrouded from the public gaze by a gauze curtain, a banquet of regal splendour had been prepared for the royal party, and with respect to the feast and its decorations, the following particulars will be interesting : Of the wines we may remark that the sherry placed on the royal table was of the same vintage and age as was sent to Lord Nelson when on board the Victory, a week previous to the celebrated battle of Trafalgar—some exquisite pale sherry,; forty years old. The wine for the Prince of Wales was a f)eculiar Paxarete, and is part of the wine presented to the younger branches of the Royal Family in Spain last month, on their visit to the vineyards of M. Domecq to witness the process of making the wines. The hock was from the Jubannesherg vineyards, probably the last cf the class—as it has long ceased, we were told, to be quoted amongst the wines now obtainable from Prince Metternich's stores. The wine gUsses, which were made for the occa sion, were of the shape of the delicate blossom of the Abutolom Striatum; and the leaves and flowers en• graved on the bowl form a wreath round the Royal Crown and City arms. The napkins were of exqui site damask, embroidered with the arms of the city of London, and edged with costly antique point lace, The d'oleys were of royal purple velvet, with emblematical embroidery, and trimmed with gold lace. The dessert plates, which were completed in an incredibly short space of time, were painted in com partments with the royal crown, the Prince of Wales's feathers, with the words " Ich dien," and represent , ing fossil remains as found in coal stratum. The whole of the service at the royal table was of superb gold. The dessert knives were particularly bnutifful and elegant. The hills of fare were printed on white satin, and were of beautiful execution and design, from De la Rue's establishment. The whole of the gorgeous display was ar ranged by the Messrs. Staples, of the Albion, and re flected the highest credit on their taste and judgment. At twenty minutes to 1 o'clock the trumpets of the Heralds and the applause without announced the arrival of the Royal pageant. First entered the Sheriffs in their state robes, the Aldermen who have not passed the chair, the Lord Mayor also in his state robes, hearing the City sword, and immediately after his Royal Highness Prince Albert, attired as a Field-Marshal, and leading the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal by either hand. The applause at this in teresting point echoed and re echoed through out the building. The Prince advanced towards the throne, followed by the officers of State and the members of the household, among whom we observed the Duke of Norfolk, Lord Lyttelton, Lord John Russell, Sir George Grey, the Marquis of Breadal bane, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Lord Paget, the Marquis of Anglesey, Lord Marcus Hill, Earl of Fortescue, the First Lord of the Admilalty, Admiral Dundas, Mr. Parker, Mr. Hawes, &c. (all in official costume). The Prince of Wales was attired in a blue sailor's jacket and a white waistcoat and trousers, with a turned-over collar. The young Prince looked extremely well, and as much like a juvenile sailor as the most fastidious admiral in the fleet could wish. The Princess Royal wore a black velvet visite, a light striped green silk dress, and a light pink satin bonnet. The Lord Mayor and the Recorder, on an intima tion from the Marquis of Breadalbane, then advanced towards the Prince, and the Recorder, in an emphatic tone, read an address, which, on its conclusion, was hunded by the Lord Mayor to the Prince, who gra ciously received the same, and having handed it to Sir George Grey, read a suitable address, which was much applauded. The Lord Mayor then introduced Mr. Wood, the mover, and Mr. Adkins, the seconder of the address, with whom the Prince was pleased to converse ; then the Sheriffs, and Mr.. Banning, the architect of the building. The Prince, with the young Prince and Princess, retired to an ante-room on the first tier, where a number of City celebrities ' were introduced to the Prince and the royal children. The little Prince, we may remark, seemed quite to enter into tl e spirit and commotion of the scene—the Princess Royz I seemed a little abashed. Both on their arrival shook hands with their uncle the Duke of Cambridge, and when the Prince had replied, he went up to the Duke of Wellington, and shook him heartily by the hand. During the absence of the royal guests the carpet was removed from the floor, in order that the flooring, which is of polished oak tastefully fashioned, might be exhibited. It contains no less than 4,000 pieces of various kinds and qualities, namely, black ebony, black oak, and common red English oak, white holly, mahogany, American elm, red and white walnut, and mulberry. The wood has undergone the patent dessicating process, by Messrs. Davidson and Sym -1 ington. The work was much admired. After a lapse of some few minutes, the Prince again appeared, and proceeded with the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress into the apartment set apart for his reception, where he partook of the splendid luncheon provided for him. The royal children were entertained in another apartment abutting from the first tier. The Lord Mayor shortly came forth, and with the permission of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, in the name of the Queen, proposed the following toasts, which were warmly responded to :--." The health cf our Most Gracious Majesty the Queen," " The health of the Queen Dowager," " The health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the rest of the Royal Family," " Prosperity to the City of London." Ihe Prince and suite left shortly before three for Whitehall, being loudly cheered on their departure. [ln concluding our report of the proceedings, we have to complain that no ticket was supplied to The Sun, to enable our reporter to be present in the inte rior of the Exchange. With great difficulty the gen. tleman deputed to perform the task for The Sun made his way to the entrance for visitors, where lie encountered an impertinent person who would neithor permit a note or card to be sent in to Mr. Wood, the c:h,..irman, the more remadlablo, since he show( d this person a note from the Lord I‘Lyor to Mr. Wool, regunting the reporter of The Sun to be admitted. Indeed, he pushed him away. Through the kindness of a Com mon Gmncihnan our reporter was enabled to send in a note to Mr. Wood, who immediately admitted him.l MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From Vie London New Price azrratt, Oct. 30.) SUG.I.F..-nnegc met with more attention ler nil purioses, aid the re :tie sellers at 11 arner rates A tees quenity has been of Feted f ask.

REFINED.-Rome dealers have been large purchaser: of refined Sugar, and rather higher rates are paid ; the sorts under 50s per cwt met with most attention, Ot all sorts the supply is smaller, and refiners evince firm ness ; there is also every prospect that prices will further advance. Brown lumps have realised 47e to 47a Gd, Standard lumps 48s 6d, Tittlers low to fine 48s to 52s 6d, double 53s to 545, Ilambro Loaves 49s to 535, and double 54s to 55s per cwt. Purchases to a fair extent have been made for delivery at similar rates. Pieces met with greater attention, and prices are on the advance. In Bastards large sales have been made, brown at 31s to 335, and yellow 34e to 375; a further advance is also expected to take place. Treacle met with a more active demand, and the market has a firm appearance; sales of boiled from West India mo lasses have been made at 15s 61 to 163, patent 16s 6d to 17s 6d, and golden syrup 18s to 19s, whilst higher rates are likely to prevail, as the supply is getting smaller. In bonded crushed sugar a good business has been con eluded for present and forward delivery. MAuRITIUS.-Operations have been upon a large scale by private treaty in all qualities and the rates paid are 6d par cwt above those current previously. At auction 955 bags went readily ; mid and good mid yellow at 37s 6.1 to 38s 63, grainy 38s 6d to 425, and brown ditto at 37s to 37s 6el per cwt.

By private treaty several parcels have been dis posed of at similar rates. The value of Khaur is 30s to 31s per cwt. Of Madras none has been submitted to pablic sale, by private treaty small parcels have been sold at stiffer rates. We quote brown at 30s to 31s, yellow 32s t 3 353, and better sorts 36s to 435. Other sorts of East India Sugar met with greener attention. FOREIGN.-The mrrket - has presented a fi.m appear ance for all sorts of Foreign Sugar since our last report, and supplies continue to decrease, whilst none has again been submitted to public sale. There are several export purchasers at former terms, but holders insisting upon en advance of 6d to is per cwt operated apainat business, end the purchases made have been of little moment. A fair quantity has been purchased for refining under bond. Moaassus.-Previous terms are well supported for West India, and several sales have been made, indeed operations wculd have been upon a larger scale bad the market been better supplied. The value of low to fine is from 15s 6cl to 18s per cat. Of Bengal Treacle a lair quantity has been disposed of at 15e to 15s 6cl per cwt. COFFEE.-There has been much inquiry after all sells of Jamaica.

THE Ear BAIIKATION.—The appearance of Whitehall brought vividly to recollection the days when the Thames was the great highway between the east and west of London, and presented gay and memorable aquatic scenes, which now, unhappily, are of too rare occurrence. No inconsiderable portion of his tory and an incalculable amount of other literary productions are occupied with details of rare specta cles and extraordinary events which have been wit nessed or taken their origin upon this classic ground. The watermen of this ancient ferry, once noted for their prowess, and their akill in all appertaining to their craft, are now extinct, but there was a time when a visit from a Minister of State, a Royal Prince, or even a Monarch himself did not surprise them. So little, however, are 'White hall-atairs used now-a-days that the gates are kept under lock and key, and are never opened except on regatta days. The whole of the houses and gardens from which a view of the embarkation could be obtained were crowded• with company, consisting chiefly of elegantly dressed ladies. On the top of the United Service Museum, which was literally crammed with spectators, and presented a very singular and lively appearance, was suspended a magnificent flag, bearing the royal standard, which waved in streams over the edifice. The Fusilier band and a•detachment of that regiment was stationed in Whitehall-yard, as well as a small body of police, who kept it entirely free from people. From the commence• ment of the passage forming the entrance to Whitehall-stairs to the place of embarkation crimson drugget was laid down, and it gave the place a very comfortable appearance. A small and skilfully arranged platform, covered with the same material, was floated alongside the royal barge to facilitate embarking. The royal barge was manned by 24 men dressed in bright scarlet liveries. There were also the Queen's shallop, the Adtniralty.barge and shallop, and a number of smaller boats moored close to the stairs. Shortly after 12 o'clock, Lord John Russell and Sir George Grey arrived, and seemed in excellent spirits, but neither the Noble Lard nor the Right Hon. Baronet seemed to have benefited much by their release from the wear and tear of the session. They were dressed in the Windsor uniform, which bears a, great resemblance to that of the navy, being blue, deco rated with gold, and each being supplied with a sword. We noticed also among the company assembled Lord Adolphus Fitzclareuce, Sir Francis Baring, the First Lord of the Admiralty ; Admiral Dundas, Lord John Bay, Sir John M'Donald, Adjutant- General; Mr. Parkgr, Secretary of the Admiralty; Captain Hamilton, Second Secretary, Captain Berkeley, Sir Baldwin Walker, Surveyor of the Navy, and Captain Eden. Lord Adolphus Fitzelarence was dressed in full naval uniform, as well as several other officers of the navy. The Fairy, Admiralty steam-•vessel, was moored out in the river, as was also the Lord Mayor's state barge, in which were seated the civic functionaries. A considerable number of small craft were also an chored and fastened together between Westminster and the Suspension Bridges, each boat displaying royal standards, union jacks, and innumerable descrip tions of other flags. At a quarter past twelve the officers of the Ad miralty got into their barge, and took up a position in the centre of the river. Precisely at the half-hour the striking up of " God Save the Queen" announced the arrival of the Royal party. The company assembled on the stairs imme diately uncovered. Prince Albert with the two Royal children having alighted from the carriage which conveyed them from Buckingham Palace, at once proceeded to the Royal barge, holding the Prince of Wales by one hand and the Princess Royal by the other, and bowing repeatedly on the way. The sweet and gentle expression of the two illustrious children could' not but strike the most in different obf.erver, and draw from him an exclama tion of his admiration. They were dressed in extremely plain attire—the Prince in a kind of sailor's: dref3s, consisting of blue jacket, white waist coat and ti7owsers, and Byronic collar ; the Princess Royal in a pink and drawn-silk bonnet, a black velvet pelisse, an I: a short dress of light material, having upon it a ! email green pattern. She wore light co loured boo ts. Prince Albert shook bands with Lord John Rus• seel and Sit George Grey, previous to embarking. and theßr.le.l children did the same also. They both seemed to look with astonishment upon the singula, and exciting scene that the river presented, novel and entirely o;:iuinal, as it must be, to their yet unexpe rienced rn!An ds. The It.)ral party, who were accompanied by Lady Littleton an d some officers of the household, having embarked,; the bargemen and the F ailors the differ. art gigs and launches set up a loud cheer , which w•as. reechoed by the people assembled on the two bring. es, and the wharfs on each side of the river. L6rd J.. :Russell and Sir George Grey immediately afterwards took up their position is the royal shallop, and the otb .er boats having received their occupants, the procession was foimed as follows : PROGRAMME.

The F. lie of procession along the river presented a most ext r aordivary spects,cle of animation. Hunger ;e was literally bcsieAccl with crowds, and as it bei t very much under the weight that it had to suppo ri i,t presented anything but z pleasant sight, especiail y to those who had in tiKir recollection the lamented I -catastrophe at Yarmouth. Every 'available space from the water's edge to th e highest st :lel: of chimneys had been fitted up for the receptie in of spectators. Waterleo-bridge was co vered la itt 1 multitudes, and the eagerness of some to see the pry icession pass under it, led them to take up dangero us positions on the parapets. Along: the whole front of Somerset-house, from the vin do ws under the arches to the roofs of the building 7s„ seats had been erected, end tickets of ad- I mission to those places, as also to the spacious ter-. TILE RETURN OP THE PROCESSION. The Royal party, instead of returning in the state barge, re-embarked on board the Fairy yacht, and proceeded to Whitelaall at a slow pace, followed by the barges and boats in the same order in which they went to the City. The Prince Consort and the two Royal children remained on deck, and the cheers with which they were received as they passed along the riv.fr were loud, long, and enthusiastic. Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence commanded the yacht, and as it steamed along with the Union Jack floating from behind, and the Royal Standard flying from a mast in the centre, it had a very pretty and interesting appearance. On reaching Whitehall it was brought to anchor, and perhaps one of the neatest little gigs ever witnessed, painted in light blue, and manned by stalwart sailors with blue striped flannel shirts and small nautical caps, came alongside to land the distinguished passengers who were on board. Lord Adolphus, who throughout the day seemed quite in his elenient, at once jumped in to take charge of the rudder, and the steps of the Fairy being let down, the royal party, together with the Duke of Norfolk and Lady Lyttleton, were soon safely seated below. The royal standard was then taken from the Fairy, and placed in the prow of the gig, two of the seamen standing up to support it. The ap proach of .the boat to the shore was the signal for a loud burst of applause from the specti!ors on all the boats moored in the neighbour hood, and it wz.s continued until a safe landing had been effected. The same arrangements which we mentioned on:the embarkation were observed again— Prince Albert alighted first, and taking the Prince in one hand, and thlTrinceis in the other, proceeded to the royal carriage, bowing repeatedly and most affably to the ladies and gentlemen who had the good fortune to be allowed to assemble on the stairs. Both of the illustrious children evinced by their laughing and happy faces that they Lad been highly delighted. The weather being by this time somewhat cooler, the Prince of \Vales wore a small overcoat or paletot, and his royal sister a light coloured tartan cloak. On the approach of the royal yacht the band ea- tioned in the yard struck up some enlivening airs, and continued to play until the departure of the royal carriages. _ _ _ The procession having been formed in the same order as it was on leaving Buckingham Palace, left Whitehall shortly after half-past three o'clock, and proceeded across Parliament street, through the Horse Guards and up the Mall, in St. James's Pa.k, to the Palace. The Prince and his illus trious children were most enthusiastically cheered the whole way. The august party arrived at the Palace about twenty minutes before four o'clock, and about ten minutes past that hour proceeded in three private carriages to the Paddington station, on their return to 'Windsor. _ Thus has concluded an event which will be recorded imperishably in history in letters of gold—an event in which ae Sovereign of n mighty nation, though unfortunately absent from indisposition, together with her august Consort, and her illustrious Children have alike displayed the utmost anxiety for the furtherance and support of commercial en terprise, to which in a great measure England owes her present position among the nations of Eu rope, and is, undoubtedly, indebted for the prestige of her great name over the civilized and habitable globe. 'We cannot conclude our account without tendering our best thanks to the Commissioners, the superin tendents, inspectors, and every member of the metro- ' litan police force, for their kindness and urbanity and the excellent arrangements made by them for the accommodation and convenience of the gentlemen of the press. Their arrangements and conduct, we feel compelled to say, contrasted most forcibly with the chaotic confusion produced in the City by the misdirection of the mismanaging committee of the Common Council.

We have received Corfu papers to the 12th inclu sive. Sir H. G. Ward, the Lord High Commis sioner, had addressed a letter to his Highness the President of the Senate, in which, after stating the existence in Corfu of a secret society to which several Italian refugees had united themselves since their arrival in the island, and detailing some of the proceedings of the society, he adds, that he should take upon himself the responsibility of ordering those foreigners, who had violated the rights of hospitality by their intrigues, .to quit the lonian territory, and to place those lonian subjects who be longed to the society under the surveillance of the po lice until ulterior measures had been decided on. The papers also contain a long account of the ceremony of the investiture of Mr. Ward, the Lord High Com missioner, as Grand Cross of the order of St. Michael and St. George, which took place with great pomp on the 6th. A letter from Corfu, under date of the 19th, says :—" By the arrival this morning of the Sharpshooter from Cephalonia, with a detachment of the 36th regiment, which was dispatched from this island on the first outbreak, we hear of the capture of the priest Nodaro and one of his companions, and the surrender of Vlacco at Luxuri. Martial law has been taken off all the districts except Luxuri, where the trials are now going on. His Excellency Sir Henry Ward is still there, and the Sharpshooter sails again to-day for Cephalonia to bring his Excellency and staff." TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE LORD JOHN RUSSELL, ONE OF HER MAJESTY'S PRIN CIPAL SECRETARIES OF STATE. My Lord,—l am not going to ask you to rehearse the Articles of your Belief,--but to thank you for having done a service to honest men of all beliefs, by standing out against the grcss imposture attempted to be practised upon the country whose counsels you direct, by men presenting themselves to you with a palpable falsification in their hands, of the authority to which they untruly made profession to appeal. Your courage has saved the country from the dis• grace of bowing before the Baal of a lie, got up by some if not by others, with ulterior designs against the freedom and progress of the State. But the danger though parried is not over. A needle cannot stand upon its point, but if it does no':, fall our way will fall the other. There will be neither safety nor quiet till the truth is driven IL:me, to the confusion of its enemies. There can be little doubt that they will provide the opportunity. What I want then to submit to the grave consi deration bound to be attendant on the acts of the prime minister of a great country, is whether if another bishop should present himself to you with a heresy for which he ought to be unfrocked, and inferior churchmen in the receipt of pay and allow ances for upholding the faith adopted by the majority of the nation from the Protestant Reforine:s should aid him in his apostasy,— the conduct befitting the first Minister of a Pro testant Sovereign, would not be to reply with the self-possession which few who have witnessed it have forgotten, and with the still small voice which has been heard farther than the thunder and the storm, That the principle they advance is not supported by Christianity, but is in distinct terms repudiated by Christianity. That it is not in the doctrines of the Protestant Reformers, but, on the contrary, is enumerated among their grievances in the Confession of Augsburg. That it is not in the doctrines of the Church whose ministers they profess to be, but, on the contrary, the Church in her Catechism and Articles, in strict con formity with the injunction of the New Testament, refuses to admit the obligation of the Fourth Jewish commandment, and thereby classes it among the " Ceremonies, Rites, and Civil precepts, which do not bind Christian men," and not the " ommandments which are called Moral." A rebuff of this kind would be the most useful thing that has happened since Elizabeth stopped the Churchmen's games in Smithfield. ONE WHO BELIEVES SABBATICAL OBSERV ANCE PROHIBITED TO CHRISTIANS.

During the last weak both the Yarmouth and North of England fishing boats which follow the shoals of her rings, have put daily into this port and harbour laden to a most extraordinary degree with fish of various kinds —particularly herrings, soles, and codfish—the herring boats each having from ten to twenty lasts (10,000 to the last), or from 100,000 to 200,000 fish on board. So many were there for sale on Friday and Satutday, that the curers could not take half the quantity, although they were cinred, in some instances, for less than the barbcur dues ; they had, therefore, to be sold to buck- sters at any price they could obtain, tees of thousands being thrown overboard. Fresh herring at ls. per swill of 500, some at even less ; slightly cured, known as Yarmouth bloaters, at from Is. to Is. 6d. per hundred, basket included, fine fish. Soles at Gd. per score, weighing from lilb. to 2ilb. per pair, quite fresh. Cod fish, weighing from 101 b. to 121 b. each, for from Gd. to 9el. per fish. Cart loads were taken to Norwich and other large towns in Norfolk, Suffolk, and Lincolnshire, and retailed on Saturday last as follows:—Fresh her rings, 10 for Id.; bloaters, 25 for Gd.; codfish, id. per lb.; end soles, at lid. to 2d. per pair. UFE OF COLOURED GLASSES TO ASSIST THE VIEW IN Fees.—The following curious observation is made by M. Luvini, of Turin, in a letter to the editor of L'histitat, at Paris. If it be verified, it may prove to be of importance to geodetical operations, as well as in ob servations at sea :—" When there is a fog between two corresponding stations, so that the one statiou can with fi diicutly be seen from the other, if the observer passes a coloured glass between his eye and the eyo-pii,ce of his telescope, the effect of the fog is very sensibly diminished, so that frequently the signals from the other station can be very plainly perceived, when, without the coloured glass, the station itself could not be seen. The different colours do not all produce this effect in the same degree. The red seems the most proper for the experiment. Those who have good bight prefer the da:k red, those who are short-sighted like light red better. The explanation of this effect seems to depend upon the fact that the white colour of thefogstniki.etshe glasstoop howaevre fully upon the organ of sight, especially a somewhat large field. On the contrary, by placing a coloured glass between the eye of the observer and the eye-glass of the instrument, the intensity of the light is much diminished by the interception of a part of the ray s; the observer's eye is less wearied, suffers less, and consequently distinguishes Letter the outlines of the o bjfct observe d,—Mechanics' Magazine. • FOREIGN Hors.—We have occasion again, in con. icquence of their extent and impel tance, to make allu sion to the importations of hops. It will Le recollected that it was recently mentioned that the importations from the United States had much increased, and that the supplies . from lislgium (th e on l y ot h er fore i gn country from welch such supplies have taken place) had become iu some cases extended to upwards of 50 - packages, instead of, as before, to a tenth or a el:tarter of that number. We have now to notice the arrival of the large quantity of 119 boles of this article of marchaudi,e from Antwerp by tte stcatn-vessel Director, the produce of Belgium, 85 of which were consigned to different firms in the metropolis, and 34 consigned to order. With reference to ti.is large importation, we reed only further remark that it is double the number of packages which have been brought on any former occasion from Belgium, that it exceeds any of the larger arrivals from the United States of America, and is the largest importa tion of hops which has ever taken place from a foreign country.
