His Royal Highness Prince ALI3ERT rose to acknow ledge the toast, and was most enthusiastically received. He said—My Lord, I return you my most sincere thanks that any exertions of mine should have met with your approbation, and to you, ladies and gentlemen, for the great marks of cordiality and kindness with which you have received the toast.—(Cheers.) The act which has this day been performed, and in which you have been so kind as to desire that I should take the chief part, could not do otherwise but make a deep impression on me.— (Cheers.)

This work, in future ages, when we shall long have quitted Orb scene, and when, perhaps, oven our names shall be forgotten—((;ries of " No, no, never")—will, I hope, become a new centre of life, with the vast and ever-increasing commerce of the world, and a most important link in the connexion of the east and west.—(Great cheering.)

By the operation of the same prin c iples, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving. may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removed all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the judicious application of a small saving caa secure trough this Society. I. BENEFITS 11.

It is the im perect rules hitherto applied to Shirt making. This has led many gentlemen to suppose the diftivaity to arise from some peculiar for mation of the neck or chest. Such opinions are most erroneous. It is essential that a Shirt should set with ease and comfort, the front remaining smooth with every change of position. H. and Co - respectfully solicit inspection, and feel confident of giving satisfac tion to every customer. HUXLEY'S REGISTERED BLURT COLLAR is guaranteed to fit the neck without a crease.

NORWICH, TUESDA.T.—Yesterday afternoon the con demned convict Rush was visited by the whole of his family of nine children. They arrived at the Castle be tween two and three o'clock, and were accompanied by Mr. James Rush, of Wymondham, brother of the con viol, and Mr. Semis, the brother of the late Mrs. Rush. The Governor conducted them to the cell in which the convict lies. When Mr. Pinson announced to the con vict that his family had arrived Rush for a moment or two buried his face in his hands, and seemed to be deeply affected. Having regained somewhat of his usual composure, he said " Let them be admitted ;" and the next minute the whole of the nine children were in the presence of their unhappy parent. The scene is described as being most heartrending, both parent and children giving way to the wildest pa roxysms of grief. They spoke little upon family affairs. The convict with intense earnestness called upon God to witness his innocence of the foul crimes imputed to him, and with many prayers recommended his children, espe cially the younger ones, to the protecting care of the Almighty. The interview lasted upwards of two hours, and as it was understood that this was to be the parting visit, its close was most harrowing. Parent and chil dren embraced each other, and gave vent to the loudest lamentations. At length the children of the unhappy man left him, and after indulging for some moments in grief, he fell upon his knees, and was engaged for a long time in earnest prayer. A cheque for 401. has just been given up by Rush to Mr. Pinson, the governor of the Castle, under very curious circumstances. It will be recollected that in the course of the trial Mr. John Cann, solicitor and clerk to the magistrates at Wy mondham, produced certain papers and books which he found at Potash-farm, on going there after the apprehension of Rush. Amongst these was a pocket book which contained certain entries relative to Rush's business, and also a few memoranda, &c., on slips of paper. There was also a cheque in it drawn in favour of Rush for 401. Immediately on the pocket-book being produced in court Rush asked permission to inspect it, and as the judge assented it was Immediately handed up to him. After detaining it some few moments he re quested that he might be allowed to have it in his pos session until the following morning. The counsel for the prosecution objected to this, whereupon Rush handed back the book to Mr. Cann. No examination of the book was made when it came from the hands of the pri soner, but on the following day Mr. John Cann dis covered that the cheque had been abstracted. His sus picions immediately fell on the prisoner Rush; indeed, Mr. Cann felt •onvinced that nobody else could have taken it, the book, with others, having been placed in a strong chest locked up while it remained at Mr. Cann's house. Nothing was done in the matter until after the close of the trial, when Mt. Pinson, the Governor of the Castle, was requested to sound the convict on the subject. When Mr. Pinson first put the question to him, Rush said, " No doubt that fellow Cann has got it—why don't you ask him? he knows all about it." Day after day passed; similar questions were put to the convict on the subject, only, however, to elicit the same reply, that Cann knew all about it, and that if they wanted any information about it, they had better ask him. " It's of no use asking me anything," said Rush, " I tell you I have not got it, and don't know anything about it. No doubt that fellow Cann has taken it." On Friday last Mr. Durrant, a highly respectable solicitor of Norwich, visited the Castle, and in the presence of the governor saw Rush on the sub ject of the missing cheque. Rush fenced for a long time, and at length said, " Well, suppose I do know any thing of it, what then?" It was urged upon him that as he had improperly obtained possession of it, he ought to give it up._He said, " No, I don't want to trouble my self about it. I don't know anything about it. You had better ask John Cann." Mr. Durrant pressed him very closely, and at length Bush said, " Well, suppose it should be found, what would become of it?" Mr. Pinson, the Governor, replied that, under the circumstances, he had no doubt the Crown would order it to be handed over' to the convict's family. Rush, after musing a few moments, said, " Well, Mr. Pinson, if you really think it will be given to my children, perhaps I might be able to tell you something about it. You will find it in the lining of my hat." The hat was immedi ately produced, and the cheque was found carefully placed under the lining in the crown. During the few moments Rush had possession of the book in court he managed to abstract the document, unseen by any one, although every eye was turned upon him. On being convicted, he was very particular about his hat, and manifested considerable anxiety about it before he left the dock. The family of the convict have been ejected from Felmingham•farm under the notice of ejectment some time since served. They still remain at Potash, but only upon sufferance. There is some talk of pulling down Potash•farm, and building another house upon its site, to b,. called, of course, by a different name. Mrs. Jermy and Eliza Chestney, both of whom are still at Stanfield-hall, are going on favourably; indeed, the latter has almost completely recovered. lannity p 3 s. d 20 47 16 6 SO 26 15 1c 4S 13 19 5.

LINCOLNSHIRE. LINCOLN, TUESDAY.—From an early hour in the morning this ancient city has presented every appearance of a day of public rejoicing. The morning was ushered in with a merry peal. At 12 o'clock the mayor (R. Whitton, Esq.), the recorder (Mr. Sergeant Clark), the high steward, the town-clerk, the city sheriff, the mayor's chaplain, the aldermen, and common councilmen, assembled at the Corn _Exchange, where they were dressed in their new robes. At one o'clock the procession started for the Midland Rail way, to await the arrival of his Royal Highness. At half last twelve the Lord Bishop of the diocese and the Earl t f rarbstrough arrivzd at the station from Brocklesby, also to await the arrival of the Prince. Upon the arrival of his Royal Highness, the Mayor and Recorder alighted from thei r carr i ages , and were severally introduced to the Prince by the Earl of Yarborough. The procession then left the station its the same order in which it entered, and- returned to the Corn Exchange, the carriage containing the Prince following immediately after that of the Mayor. Upon the arrival at the Corn Exchange the Prince was led in by the Earl of Yarborough. As soon as his Royal Highness had taken his seat, the Recorder read the following address : "TO lIIS ROYAL HIGHNESS FIELD MARSHAL THE PRINCE ALBERT, L. 0., &C. " We, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Citizens of the city of Lincoln, beg to offer to your Royal Highness a cordial and hearty welcome to our ancient city—a city formerly the oc casional residence of the monarchs of England, and always distinguished for the loyalty and patriotism of her citizens. " We hail with feelings of the highest gratification the presence of the illustrious Consort of our gracious and be loved Queen, and the occasion thus afforded us of expressing to your Royal Highness in person, our deep respect and admiration of those moral virtues and personal accomplish ments which have won for your Royal Highness the esteem and attachment of all classes of her Majesty's subjects. " The estimable example which yOur Royal Highness pre sents of personal and domestic excellence has filled us with no less admiration, than the solicitude shown by yon for the best interests of the people in giving the influence of your elevated position and enlightened exertions to the support of public institutions, in which Englishmen may feel an honour able pride, for the promotion of benevolent objects ; the en couragement of the arts, and the advancement and diffusion of knowledge: and we appreciate with admiration sad grati tude those motives which have led your Royal Highness to visit these parts of her Majesty's dominions, in order to give the auspicious and encouraging sanction of your illustrious name and presence to the commencement of works connected with the commercial welfare of the country. " We hope in all sincerity that your Royal Highness may have a safe and agreeable progress in the execution of your gracious and laudable object; and that, under the blessing of uivine Providence, your Royal Highness may live long to enjoy the honours and advantages of your high and distin guished position, and the consciousness of having employed the powers and influence they confer in the ameli ora ti on an d improvement of our common species." His Royal Highness then returned the following gracious answer : "I have received with very great pleasure your welcome to the ancient and loyal city of L inc o l n. The kind expres sions you make use of as to myself cannot fail to be deeply felt and valued by me. You do me no more than justice in believing that I am sincerely anx i ous to give every encou ragement t . the institutions of this country, of which you may feel justly proud; some of which provides for the wants and sicknesses of poor persons, and others aro directed to the diffusion of arts and sciences through the country, and for elevating the condition of the British people. thefo great commercial u stone willndation. " I have availed myself of th is o pportunity to visit Lin colnshire for a first time, and cou ld not do so without visiting this its capital city, and the m a g nifi cent cathedral with workwh i c h o itf whichis ado adorned. e a d m . g I o h i n o g p e t 0 sincerelylayh t e prosper and increase your commerce, and that it may add to the welfare and prosperity of this town and county." The Town Council and Alder men wer e then severally in troduced to the Prince. thehi " Lord oya l Bishop Highnessand the Corporation of Lincoln, The procession then left the C orn Exchange, and pro ceeded to th e were Cathedral, received wh b e r y e and the Very Rev. the Dean and the Very Rev. the Chap ter. The Prince was conducted over the magnificent edifice by the Bishop and the Dean, who explained to the Royal visitor the many objects of interest which this splendid edi fice contains, flis Royal Highness expressed himself much pleased with the various objects which he saw. Having quitted the cathedral, the corporation conducted his Royal Highness to the station of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Liacolushire Railway, where a special train was in readi ness to convey him to Brocklesby Park, the seat of the Earl of Yarborough, where he prtposes to pass the night. The procession then returned to the Corn Exchange, where they disrobed. On the arrival of the Prince at Broeklesby station, he was met by the whole of the tenantry of the Earl of Yarborough, mounted on their splendid hunters, accompanied by the band of the Lincolnshire Yeomanry Cavalry, and conducted by them to the mansion. BROCILLESDY, TUESDAY EVENING —Shortly after two o'clock his Royal Hightess Prince Albert left Lincoln for Brocklesby, the seat of the Earl of Yarborough. At each station along the line crowds of h. althy-looking sturda, peasants and yeomen had assembled, who greeted the special train as it swept along with loud cheers and the waving of hats. Arriving at his destination, his Royal Highness and suite alighted amidst every demon stration of loyalty and the firing of a royal salute, and were rapidly conveyed to the Earl of Yarborough's resi dence, which is about two miles distant from the rail way. The park, which was thrown open to the public, presented, from the long stream of visitors passing through it, a very animated appearance. It is of con siderable extent, and is ornamented at different points with small lakes, and is well clothed with timber ; but the beauties of the landscape are dependent more upon natural then artificial effects, and for the stately avenues of tall ancestral trees which form the approaches to the mansions of the great nobles in other parts of the country, there is here offered to the eye of the visitor the broad, homely, and unadorned features of English wood- , land scenery. This absence of anything , like ostentation is not without its charm, and certainly harmonized well with the rustic garb and aspect of the throng who crowded thither to welcome their Prince. The Hall is a substantial building entirely in keeping with all around it, and totally divested of everything like architectural embellishment or display. On the lawn in front of it were drawn up the Earl of Yarborough's tenantry, to the number of 500 or 600, all mounted, and presenting, as may be imagined, a very striking and interesting appear ance. Muny of them wore tight cords and top - boots , and, firmly seated on their hunters, revealed at a glance the favourite pastime of the North Lincolnshire farmers. Whether young men or old, in their open and manly countenance could be traced the true yeoman-spirit, blended with the contentment which a succession of kind and liberal landlords never fails to inspire iii their tenantry. A more interesting sight, without the slightest tincture of theatrical effect, could hardly be witnessed. The Prince was greatly struck with them, for, aft* r receiving the graceful welcomes of the Coun tess of Yarborough at the entrance to the hall, he step ped out upon the lawn and reviewed this regiment of mounted miration with which th e y yeomen, expressing, as h e did so, the high ad inspired him. Another im portant feature in " the hi g h state " of our great nobility then presented itself, and t h e f ox -h oun d s , w hi c h the huntsman vouches are th e o ld est an d b est i n E ng land, were seen hastening from th e i r k enne ls to the centre of attraction. 'These came in also for a fair share of the Prince's attention. The interest which he evin ced in them would appear to indicate that he not , in which for as some suppose, to the pleasures of the Sal l + the Prince national pastimes. On returning to and corpora so many ages has been n o blest considered h t u h n e tin l received in the drawing-room the Mayo r m - h the following Lion of Boston, who presented to address:— iNcE ALBERT, CONSORT " To 1118 ROYAL RIGIINE BB TrsT " THE QIINEN. OF Er ER mA., Is of the Mayor, of our Aldermen, " The loyal and dutiful Addr! and Burgesses of, the a ncien t Borough of Boston, in Lincoln, unani mously adopted at a Ge neral Meeting of the Council, held on Thursday, the the County of sth day of April, in the year 1849. " May it please your Royal Highness,—We, the Mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of the borough of Bos ton, approach your Royal Highness with every feeling of respect and affection, not only in consideration of the exalted rank enjoyed by your Royal Highness as the cone sort of our beloved Sovereign, but also as desiring to evince our sincere admiration of the rest liberality and untiring promoting and d r isplayed d al l b t y h o y s o e u i r n i o t y u a ti l o li n sigahnndessin undertakings w hich ze h en a ac v lo e ud for their object the moral and social elevation of this mighty empire. "We also feel peculiar gratification that your Royal Highness will, in passing through the fertile district known as the Fens of Lincolnshire,' have an opportu nity of avitnessing the altered condition of a large por tion of this extensive county, formerly a morass, but which, yielding to the united skill and enterprise of the engineer and agriculturist, has been transformed into its present high state of cultivation. "It would have been esteemed by the inhabitants of our loyal borough and ourselves a distinguished honour to have received your Royal Highness there, but, having ascertained that other engagements would preclude our enjoyment of that privilege, we have availed ourselves of the opportunity liberally afforded by the Right Hon. the Earl of Yarborough to pay our dutiful respects to your Royal Highness at his mansion. "Fervently praying that her Majesty our Most Gra cious Queen, and your Royal Highness, with your illus trious children, may long continue to live in the ardent affections of a grateful, happy, and prosperous people, enjoying the blessings of peace, and civil, religious, and commercial freedom, we remain, with every sentiment of loyalty and sincere regard for your Royal Highness, "The Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the Borough f Boston. " Given under the Corporate Seal this sth day of April, in the year of our Lord 1849, and in the 12th year of the reign of her Her Gra cious Majesty Victoria, &c." His Royal Highness replied,—" I thank you very sin cerely for the address which you have just presented to me, and am much gratified to find that you believe in the anxiety which I feel fur the prosperity and encourage ment of every undertaking that ain improve and elevate the moral and social condition of the people of this great empire. The transformation of the district which for merly was called the Lincolnshire Fens from unhealthy sterility to their present high state of cultivation, is a proud testimony to the enterprise and skill of your coun try. I regret much that the limited time at . my disposal (hiring my visit to this neighbourhood precluded the pos receiTillg aU address in your boring!), will not fail to lay before the Queen your expressions of attachment to the institutions of the country, and of loyalty and affection to her Majesty's person and family." The ceremony concl u ded by the presentation of the difforent members of the corporation. It was intended that his Royal Highness shou'al em ploy the i nterval which now remained till the dinner hour in a survey of the rich country which surrounds Brocklesby and of the system of farming which has transformed the fens and chalky wolds of North Lin colnshire into the finest agricultural district in England, and perhaps; the finest in the world. The skies, however, which de not wait on the pleasure even of princes, had prepared a great disappointment. Slight showers of snow, which had fallen at intervals during the afternoon, after a short but delusive promise of fair weather, began to in crease and be more frequent as the day advanced. The wind rose till it blew:a perfect tempest- The air became intensely cold, and loaded with drift, and before the even ing closed in the changing hues of the landscape had disappeared, and all was white with snow ; a great disappointment this to the Earl of Yarborough and the farmers, who hoped to astonish the Prince with their agricultural triumphs; hut our variable climate may perhaps renew to-marrow the opportunities which it has withheld to-day. As it was, his Royal Highness made good a visit to the splendid mausoleum of the Yarbo rough family, and to the pillar erected on the Wolds to the memory of the late Earl. From this pillar a splen did view is obtained in fair weather of the surrounding country, and the Yarborough estate is seen extending for many miles in every direction. To-day the pros pect was entirely overcast, and very dreary. The wind has now moderated, and the sky cleared up, so that there is some chance of fine weather in the morning. The dinner party at Brocklesby was as follows: His Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Marquis of Abercorn, Col. Phipps, Colonel Seymour, Mr. '2. W. Yorke, High Sheriff of Lincolnshire, the Earl of Carlisle, Viscount Hawarden, the Bishop of Lincoln, Sir Montague and the Lady Georgina Cholmeley, the Lady Mary Corbet, Mr. and the Lady Mary Christo pher, the Lady Adela Capel, Sir C. and Lady Anderson. Lord Worsley, the Hon. Captain D. Pelham, the Hon Mr. Monson, the Lord Mayor of London, Mr. Parker, M:P. for. Sheffield, Mr. G. F. Heneage, Mr. E. Heneage, M.P.; Mr. Chapman, Deputy Chairman of the Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company; Mr. Rendel, C.E.; Mr. Fowler, C.E.; the Rev. R. C. Brackenbury, rector of Brocklesby; and the Mayor of Grimsby. While the great and titled w e r e thus receiv ing the splendid hospitalities of Lord Yarborough, h is Lordship had not forgotten the claims of the poor. Two oxen were slaughtered for their especial behoof, and an abundant supply of fine home-brewed ale was added, to complete the cheer. GREAT GRIMSBY DOCKS. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.—A great national work has this day been inaugu rated with unusual magnificence at the mouth of the Humber. The first stone of the Great Grimsby Docks was laid by his Royal Highness Prince Albert in the presence of a vast number of spec tators. The weight of that stone may furnish some idea of the importance which is attached to the undertaking by its projector., and the vast results to themselves and the public which they hope to achieve by bringing it to a successful termination. The foundation stone weighs 11 tons. The Great Grimsby Docks are abaut to be constructed on the south bank of the Humber, where it enters the ocean, from the sweep of which they will be protected by Spurn Head, the natural breakwater interposed for the protection of the estuary at the mouth of which it stands. Great Grimsby until within the last few years, was an obscure fishing village, its harbour destroyed by "sitting up," without manufactures or other produce for exportation, or the means of forwarding imports to the interior. The policy of our inland communication, which, in early times, placed the great seaports as far up the banks of rivers as was practicable, gave to Hull the commerce of the eastern coast, as Chester engrossed that of the' west; but the difficulties attending the navigation of the Hum ber, and the immense deposits of mud which were con tinually taking place within it from the confluence of the ['rent, the Ouse, and their tributary streams, have al ways impeded the progress of Hull as a great maritime town. Like Bristol, it has struggled on for years, mak ing none of those gigantic strides to wealth end import ance which the progress of Liverpool exhibits. The shipping interest of Hull is said to be larger than that of Bristol—a fact which may be accounted for by the proximity of the great manufacturing and mining dis tricts of the northern and midland counties and the stimulus which has recently been given to trade by the development of the railway system. The rapid im provement of Lincolnshire, however, in agricultural prosperity, has induced its inhabitants to turn their attention to the inconvenience of having Hull, which belongs to Yorkshire, as their principal seaport, and in consequence, while devising a scheme of railways for opening the resources of their noble county, they have included as a part of their plan the formation of docks at Great Grimsby, which, by their size, commodious ness, and acceptability, will invite the whole traffic' of the German Ocean, and pour in that direction the im mense export trade of this country to the north of Eu- rope. As an encouragement to the execution of these plans, it has been noticed that within the last few years a succession of events has tended to make the name of Great Grimsby less contemptible than it had bean for many ages before. The increased use of bones, rape seed, oilcako, and other tillages, largely imported from the north of Europe, the reduction of the timber duties, the alteration in the corn-laws, the general reduction of the tariff on Baltic produce, and, lastly and chiefly, the rapid advance of railway communication; have all tended to revive the de cayed fishing village towards a position commensu rate with its armorial and genealogical claims. The importation of timber for railroad use has quite cast into the shade the profits formerly netted from contraband trade, and the two railways which meet here promise to add a large foreign corn trade to the moderate business now done in home produce on market days by a few dozen farmers in front of the principal inn. Thus there have been already laid at Great Grimsby the foundation of a traffic in timber and manures with the North of Europe, and, as these articles of commerce depend upon an amount of demand in this country, which is likely to go on increasing, the rapid rise of the new seaport and the success of the docks are confidently anticipated. But these are not the only considerations which render the undertaking one of great public interest and import ance. The docks are designed with a special view to the accommodation of steam traffic, and have a depth of water at their entrance that will enable the smaller class of coasting steamers to enter at all times of the tide, and the larger class at half tide, or during 12 hours in the 24. The gates are of such a size as to admit the largest steamers with ease and safety in any weather, and the docks are supplied with pure fresh blcalculate that, tors t herefore, very reasons y projec wat e r, which will insure,strahoseghrienaeteryr—dhurearbbioliitlyerso.f that The costly part of a stea mer being for steame rs two hours nearer the sea than H u ll, and having the advantages of railway communication, Great Grimsby will draw to itself the whole steampacket business of the Humber both in goods and passengers, and that, as the nearest point of land they can make, it will also become the great port for eteamers from the north of Europe. As already stated, the docks are ex pected also to come in for a fair share of the general shipping business of the country. For the timber trade great accommodation has been provided, in the ex tent of land allotted fur bonding yards and ponds, into which the river craft and coasters may be taken and loaded in the least possible time and with the smallest cost. In case of contrary winds the advantage to ship ping of being so near the sea is very apparent, the ex pense 'of steam-tugging and similar heavy charges being entirely avoided. It is not to be forgotten that the port. of the Humber, like all others along the coast, are merely water stations for the transit of goods and pas sengers to the interior of the country, and that, in this view, the Griinsby Docks are likely to prove a very im portant work to all the railways of the country. By these railways it will be brought into direct communica tion with the great agricultural counties of Lincoln, Norfolk, Cambridge, Northampton, Leicester, and Not tingham, with the large manufacturing towns of Notting ham, Leicester, Sheffield, and Manchester, with the coal mines of Yorkshire, the salt produce of Cheshire, and, above all, with Liverpool, the direct and speedy transit to which, it is expected, will prove vastly advantageous to commerce. If it is found desirable for passenger traffic to have inland stations erected at a cost of 100001. or 200,0001, it will be obvious that such a water station as the Grims by Docks is cheaply purchased at a cost of from 400,000/. to 500,0001. Wet docks have only existed in this country since the early part of the last century, no very ancient date considering their great utility to a ma ritime people, the protection which 'they afford to ships and their freights, and the facilities which they give for the collection of the Customs revenue. They were first constructed in Liverpool, and afterwards in London, but it was not till the commencement of the 18th century that they assumed the importance to which they are en titled as great national works, and vindicated the policy of their formation, by the remunerative returns which they yielded. They havenow for some time been fully recognized as forming a great step in the progress of the nation as a mercantile community, but the difficulties of transit from them to the store-rooms of the wholesale dealer have hitherto been felt to be a great barrier, and this will be appreciated when we state, that the cost of carting ntdhtoLrcieference t o this new work, a exceedspuncheon t h o o f rum wn lfrome freightS s t t h is e e n r e i e n e' t s o Dock,Rott Rotterdam, a L m o , n d a o n n ci that it is cheaper to send a hogshead of sugar from the London Docks by sea round to Gainsborough s th ta e t i i i o ce n t o o f Sh th effi e e L ld o , n t d h o a n n t s o n e d ar x t it to for the Man- Grimsby Docks appears to have h o i v r e e rco s lugs, leading,to the into it.

Like Liver pool and London—is on the north-eastern coast lataen toly de fi cieut ill this respect. Upou it the wh9l9 Oro Blancotae oanttrtyh,e of the German Ocean beats with tremendous vio7ence, and therefore any undertaking calculated to afford shelter to our tempest-toesed shipping on this seaboard must be looked upon as possessing a national character. In that light the Government have viewed the Great Grimsby Docks. The Sheerness squadron, under the 'command of Admiral Elliot, rides in the harbour to celebrate the occasion in true naval style, and the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, in granting to the Dock Company the land, which has been in a great measure reclaimed from the dominion of the sea, have conditioned that the dock gates shall be capacious enough to admit the largest war• steamers, and that the Admiralty shall at all times have as free use of the docks as of those of Portsmouth and Plymouth. As to the plan of the docks, the principle upon which they have been de signed is that of carrying them into deep water instead of the older plan of making the dock inland, and digging the channel up to it. In such a river as the Humber this plan is attended with great advantage, as, from the works being placed well out in the current, any exten sive deposit of mud is prevented, and the cost of dredg ing is avoided. The works embrace, first, an entrance basin, the area of which is sixteen acres, and which will be accessible to the largest vessels at all times; secondly, piers suitable for all vessels not requiring to enter the docks ; thirdly, the great dock, 300 feet in length and 65 in width; fourthly, the small duck, 200 feet in length and 45 in width; fifthly, the dock with an area of 29 acres, accessible for all vessels for 20 hours out of the 24; sixthly, the west wharf, 200 feet in length, with railways, &c., upon it, and comprising an area of 12 acres; soventhly, the east wharf, 2 000 feet in length, and 670 in width, to be appropriated to warehouses ; and lastly, a goods station, with railways laid to every part, and embracing an area of 42 acres. These details give some idea of the magnitude of the works and the novelty of the principle upon which they have been con structed. Very considerable progress has already been made with regard to them. The entire space to be oc cupied has been reclaimed from the sea, and protected by strong embankments. A vast quantity of stone and timber has also been deposited upon the works, and it is calculated that in two years they will be completed. Already, through the genius of Mr. Rendell, the engi neer, the principal difficulties have been surmounted, and no doubt the Grimsby Docks will soon, by his exertions, be opened to the truffle which it is anticipated will flow through it. Returning from these necessary details to the move ments of Prince Albert, his Royal Highness arrived hero by special train from Brocklesby shortly after one o'clock. The station had been elegantly decorated for his reception, and, painted in conspicuous characters over the entrance were the words " God save the Queen." In the station his Royal Highness received the corporation of Great Grimsby, who presented a loyal address, which was suitably and graciously acknowledged by him. A procession was then formed of a train of carriages to convey the Prince, the directors and officers of the Dock Company, the corporation of the town, and the visitors of Brocklesby, to the docks. They were welcomed as they passed along with every possible demonstration of joy and loyal enthusiasm from the multitude. Flags were hung out at many of the windows, some of them bearing loyal and patriotic inscriptions, while others fluttered about iu the una dorned simplicity of bunting. The cheering and waving of hats was kept up incessantly as the special train moved on, and none seemed more anxious to obtain a glimpse of his Royal Highness than the gentler sex in this part of Lincolnshire. Immediately after arriving at the entrance to the dock works, which was graced with an archway of evergreens, the engine was dismissed, arid the carriages conveying the Royal cortege were drawn along by a whole host of navvies dressed in clean white frocks, and showing, as they pulled " with a will " the great brawny arms and swelling muscles by the strength of which they earn their livelihood. Within the docks, nothing but a vast space of enclosed sea-shore was at first to be seen, with immense quantities of stone and timber collected for the completion of the works. As however we advanced, an immense amphitheatre opened ap, the basement of which was considerably below the level of low-water mark, and in the centre of which rested the enormous foundation-stone. Close at hand stood a handsome pavilion, within the well-stored re cesses of which, Messrs. Bathe and Breach, of the Lon don Tavern, had laid out luncheon for upwards of 1,000 people. Around the other parts of the amphitheatre seats had been prepared for 5,000 or 6,000 spectators, who, it was anticipated, would be induced to pay ss. each for the privilege of seeing Prince Albert lay the foundation stone; but the sky, during the early part of the day had promised favourably, became overcast just at the time when his Royal Highness was entering the docks; a heavy snow shower descended; the consequences may easily be anticipated—the high price charged and the in clemency of the weather kept hundreds of persona away who would otherwise have been joyful spectators, and the unoccupied benches presented a very deserted and dreary appearance. The Royal procession on entering the docks took the outer line of railway, which was or namented with flags and banners placed at equal dis tances from each other, and which commanded a view not only of the docks but also of,the Sheerness squadron anchored without. Upon arriving at the amphitheatre, the Prince and suite ' alighted from their carriages, and the procession descending amidst the booming of a royal salute and the enthusiastic cheers of the spectators, the ceremony of laying the foundation stone commenced. Colonel Humphrey, the Secretary of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company, took charge of the inscription or depositum plate; Mr. Fow ler, of the glass vessel to hold the coins; Mr. Cole, of the purse and coins; Mr. Adam Smith, of the trowel, which was an extremely handsome and elaborate piece of workmanship. The plan of the docks was appro priately entrusted to Mr. Rendell. Tho Prince placed a collection of new current coins of the realm in a glass vessel, and having closed the stopper of it, the Earl of Yarborough handed to him the trowel, and briefly explained the object of the work. The Prince then laid the stone in due form, and placed the glass vessel in the place of deposit assigned for it. The following was the commemorative inscription:— " This first stone of the Great Grimsby Docks was laid by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, on the 18th day of April, in the year of our Lord 1849, and in the 12th year of the reign of her Majesty Queen Victoria.—May God protect these docks." The ceremony concluded with prayer, which was offered up by the Bishop of Lin coln. The Prince was then conducted, in procession, to a private tent prepared for his reception, while the as sembled company took their seats in the pavilion, and awaited his arrival. THE LUNCH. The lunch took place shortly after two o'clock, and was laid out in admirable taste, and on a scale of the greatest profusion by the proprietors of the London Taverr. No less than 1,000 guests, many of whom were ladies, assembled to enjoy the hospitalities of the company. His Royal Highness Prince Albert sat on the right hand of the Earl of Yarborough, who presided, and among the eminent persons present were—Lady Mary Christopher, the Bishop of Lincoln, Colonel Phipps, Lord Worsley, Admiral Elliot, the Mayor of Manches ter, the Mayor of GrimsV, the Marquis of Abercorn, Countess of Yarborough, Viscount Hawarden, Lady Sophia Pelham, Colonel Seymour, Mr. Christopher, Ge neral Thorne, Captain Maitland, Mr. Yorke, Mr. Huss. y Packe, Mr. E. Heneage, Sir C. Anderson, the Rev. Mr. Attwood, Dr. Bartoloutaft, the Master Cutler of Sheffield, Lieutenant-Colonel Arthur, Sir John Nelthorpe, Lieu tenant Parkes, Captain Elliott, Colonel Wellesley, the Hon. Captain Pelham, Lieutenant-Colonel Martin, Lady Nelthorpe, Mr. Adam Smith, the Mayor of Shef field, Mr. A. S. Gee, Mr. J. M. Rendell, Mr. Turner, Mr. Hutton, Mrs. Hutton, Sir M. Cholmeley, the Lord Mayor, Lady Georgians Cholmeley, Mr. Chapman, Lady Anderson, Earl of Mulgrave, and the Earl of Scarborough. At the close of lunch, thanks having been returned by the Bishop of Lincoln, The CHAIRMAN rose and said,—Your 'Royal 'High. ness, my Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen, the first toast I have now the honour to propose to your notice is "the Health of her Majesty the Queen, and may God bless her."—(Cheers.) The toast having been drunk with great enthusiasm and amidst every demonstration of loyalty, The CHAIRMAN rose again and said—l have now the honour to offer to your notice the toast of " His Royal Highness Prince Albert."—(Cheers.) His Royal High. ness has been very graciously pleased to come to this place for the purpose of assisting at a ceremony the fame of which we hope will go forth, not only in Eng land, but in all parts of the world with which the ma nufacturing •interests of this country cal be at all connected, as a most important uniertak ing. We have always considered it a ,mo , t ire- portant undertaking, and his Royal highness having been pleased to come here on the .tsen. pre sent occasion, shows that we have not been mistaken. ehr it His Royal Highness has been pleased to co _d w. en an undertaking worthy of his royal . pat h ro o na h g as e , we consider the readiness with which s a s n s cl oci a n ted himself with obje ct s e must all feel highly of national importance and advan tage to this country, I am_ Bu r r: to w . d a y, popular as he de honoured at,having him b le e he has always shown. Ills part of the country servedly is by the exam e lf visiting a Royal Highness is now which, until the intro d uc tion_ o f railways was scarcely known. S om e people used to suppose we could no t move a b ou t in this country except in boats. It was therefore not surprising, that when it was understood his 'Royal IliglineEs was coming among us, that great anxiety should be evinced to know whether the rep ell was true. But lam sure his Royal Highness will admit that no part of England Ilse he been where he has been received with greater cordiality—(Loud cheers)—with a more hearty welcome, and I trust I there is add that, is no part of her blejesty's may dominions where iliere is more true devotion to her Majesty than among the sub jects of her Majesty who ttre.to be found in th ese parts. lam quite certain that if we should at any time find that her Majesty wished, in prosecuting from London to S cot l an d , from stressolwea a voyage thertoremain quiet at anchor instead of knocking about in the roads, she will find in a few years a ,most quiet retreat iu the Grimsby Docks. On the part of the company which has undertaken these works, I must beg leave to tender to you our thanks for the honour you have done us by patronizing these works, and I trust, from what you have seen, tbat you do not regret the task (tor it is a task at this inclement season of the year) which you bee untltrtaken. IWM give you " uia loyal peculiar to the enterprises of Englishmen, that strongly attached as they are to the institutions of their country, and gratefully acknowledging the protection of the laws under which those enterprises are undertaken and pros per, they love to connect them in some manner with the authority of the Crown and the person of the Sovereign. —(Loud cheers.) It is the persuasion of this cum stance which has impaled me to respond to your csll, and come amongst yeu—(Cheers)—as the readiest mode of testifying to you how strongly her Majesty the Queen ap preciates and reciprocates those feelinge. I h ave derived the deepest gratification from this visit, as it has brought me for the first time to the county of Lincoln, so celebrated for its agricultural pursuits, and showing so flue an example of the energy of the national charac ter, which, in this county, has succeeded in transforming the most unhealthy swamps into the richest and most fertile lands►.—(Cheers.) I could not, I am sure, possi bly have seen finer specimens of Lincolnshire farming than have been shown to me by your Noble Chairman and my esteemed friend—(Cheers) —who has not only made me acquainted with the most recent improve ments carried on iu this county, but also with the gra tifying state of the relations between landlord and tenant existing here, which I hope may become an example to be followed in time throughout the king4om.—(Loud cheers.) Here it is felt that the mutual advantage of both does not depend on a mere written letter of agreement— (Cheers) but on that mutual trust and confidence which has always been considered a sufficient security to warrant the extensive outlay of capital and energy necessary to the carrying out of farming operations on a large scale.—(Cheering.) I now, in conclusion, beg to propose to you a toast which I sm sure you -will all be anxious to drink with me— " Prosperty to the Grc.at Grimsby Duck."—(Cheers.) Let us implore the Almighty to bestow His blessing on this work, under which alone it can prosper. I give you "the Great Grimsby'Dock and the health of the Chairman and Directors of the Dock Company."— (Loud cheers, in the midst of which his Royal Bigness resumed his seat.) The CHAIRMAN then rose and said—Your Royal Highness, Ladies, and Gentlemen, I rise to return your Royal Highness thanks, on the part of my colleagues in the direction of the Manchester, _ Sheffield, and Lincolnvhire Railway Company, who have also the management of the Docks, inasmuch as, although in the first instance the railway and the Great Grimsby Dock were separate companies, now the Railway and the Dock Companies have amalgamated. They were amalgamated because it was considered by the shareholders that they should be one undertaking. There was only one interest to be considered, and it was thought, and wisely, by the shareholders, that it would be a great advantage that there should be a good under standing between the Dock and Railway Companies.— (Cheers.) If they had not been united it might have happened that what might have been obviously for the convenience of the public might not, for some reason or other, be carried out, but that, when the whole was under one management, then it was likely that one would not be at variance with the other, and that the public would have the advantage of finding that which I believe is novel in the railway world, viz., having a terminus in the water instead of on'the land—for what will these docks be but the terminus of the railway? They will be our eastern terminus, while our western terminus will, in fact, be Liverpool. It is true we shall not be united under one management to Liverpool, but we shall to Manchester, and thence we shall run over a line in which this company has some interest.—(Hear, hear.) Your Royal Highness cannot fail to observe that this is a vast undertaking. and when I mention to your Royal Highness, and those of this company who are strangers to this district, that the Act for these docks was only obtained in 1845—when I remind you of that circumstance I think it will be generally acknow . . ledged that very great progress has been made with the works. Perhaps strangers may not be aware of the enormous quantity of timber which is necessary to con struct these docks; that it was obliged to be brought from the Billie; and that we have succeeded, though it was prognosticated we should fail, in shutting out the water; and we may consider it fortunate that we have succeeded, as we are at this moment 19 feet below the water.—(Cheers.) The first pile of timber was driven in 1846, and I well recollect at that time in a neigh bouring port it was stated—" There is an end of Grimsby Docks; the first pile, on being tapped on the head by the engine, went through the quicksand and is nowhere to be found." But that was a mistake. Since that time the cofferdam has been extended to the length of 1,600 feet, and to construct it we have obtained 7,000 pieces of Memel timber, averaging in length 50 fiat each. rho measure of this work, that is, the circumference of it, is VI miles. You may have seen on your passage here the old dock. There the principle was to take the water into the land as far as possible. Here we take the railroad as far as possible into the sea. We have enclosed hero 135 acres. Gentlemen, that's a large farm in some parts of Digland.—(A laugh.) We lrs.ve every reasonable expectation of concluding the works by the summer of 1651. We have no reason to doubt that this port will be connected by a through communication with the port of Liverpool during July of this year. It has generally been supposed that it would be of great advantage to be able to transport from Manchester and the manufacturing districts by the means of this railway the goods they have produced by their enterprise and have to send abroad. There is also another great ad vantage, that in this county we produce a vast amount of food. That food will be sent into the manufactur ing districts, and there consumed at much less cost than it can be now. On the other hand, we shall receive from those districts and the neighbourhood of Sheffield coals, which may be brought into these parts of the country so as to be so!d at a cost of ss. or 6e. I , ss than now. Then I think lam justified in saying that if we can send food in a cheaper way than now, we are benefiting the poor there, and if we can bring coal here at less expense than now we are also benefiting the poor among ourselves.—(Cheers.) Some people sup pose that these works are to be the ruin of Hull. I have never been one of those who have thought so. That it will prove a very formidable competitor in some respects cannot be doubted, but I believe the trade of this country will continue to increase. I believe it may be the means of preventing exorbitant charges at such places as Hull, and therefore that a public advantage will arise from the competition; but I cannot suppose that a town of such size and magnitude will be very seriously injured. True that trade may not increase in the same ratio as it hitherto has done. You may not find the 1001. dock shares quoted at 1,3001., and hear com plaints from the inhabitants that the money is not spent there so as to benefit them. I think when they find that we are able to carry on the same trade as they do, the company, if we compete with them, may be in duced to regulate their charges, so as to do more for the inhabitants of the town, and thereby obviate complaints, which I believe aro not unfounded. I could detain you for a long time, in at sting the advantages likely to flow from this railway and these docks, but I should not be justified, and I am sure you would not wish his Royal Highness should be detained longer than is absolutely necessary. lam sure we thank his Royal Highness sin cerely for having done us tl a honour of attending on this occasion, and I think we cannot better show our sense of it than by doing all in our power to convince him that we desire to consult his convenience in every way. — (Cheers.) I am afraid that the arrangements I have made for his Royal Highness will oblige me to ask him now to leave, but I shad take an early opportunity of re turning to continue to act as your chairman.—(Cheers.) The chairman and his royal guest then withdrew, and were escorted to the train by a large portion of the assembled company. On the return of the Earl of Yarborough ts.gre.at res p o ndea to, number of toasts were proposed and duly among them—" The Bishop and Clergy h 02*Tthheedciouememsejog.f Lincoln," acknowledged by the ts ßp r f in o ° r; ' which the Earl of sioners of Woods and For h e e s ., , A ' anti Navy , " ae. Carlisle returned thanks; t knowledged by General Thorne and Admiral Ellot; the healths of bfe. Bendel!, Mr. Adam Smith, and Mr. Fowler, for which they severally returned thanks. Se veral ot her toasts were also ,giTen; "The Ladi es ," "Th e Civic D i gn i tar ies present,' and " The Chairman and Vice-Chairman," being included among them. His Royal Highness Prince Albert was rapidly con veyed to tow passing nin a spe c i a l train, through Bos ton and Peterborough. At a ll the statio ns on the route crowds of people had collected, who cheered him as he passed. Near O un dl e the train ' was delayed for a few minutes by the breaking down of an engine attached to another train on the same line. But the impediment , A as at once removed, and his Royal Highness reached tht Euston square station at a quarter before ten o'clock, being the exact time fixed for his arrival. On the Loudon and North-Western line the engine was driven by Mr. 11'Connell, locomotive superintendent, Captain ltruyere being aho in attendacce. On the Groat Nor thern the Prince's safety and comfort were also carefully provided for. There is no truth in the report of cholera being at or Near Inverness; it was quite a fake report. We have letters from medical gentlemen on the subject.
