SUSSEX.—Some of the Hop Plantations in this county now present a very promising appearance, . so thei r p ro d uce i s lik e l y very much to exceed what at one time was expected. ! - EAsT.RTFoR.D.—The Hop Plantations in this district present a varied appearance. In the south western_ part the .bines present a most healthy ap pearance, and there is a prospect of much more than an average crop; whilst in other parts the aphides have made so much havoc that a top crop only can be expected. In the early part of the season that friendly insect, the Kentish devil, made its .appear ance, and was destroying the vermin rapidly. Had the weather been as favourable, a very full crop would have been the consequence ; on the whole, ho , .vev e r, there is no reason to complain. THE HARVEST .

LE BON, JULY 14.---Nothing of any : n , Consequence has taken place her since I ad- - dressed von last. The 4th Foot have arrived from up the country, and are to he stationed at Cascaes, bet Ween Fort St. Julian and Belem. The 60th Reginient has also been ordered down from Leiria, and the 10th Hussars are expected from Rio Major. In the absence, therefore, of more important matter, I shall endeavour . to give you some account.of a bull fight, the first of which for the season, took place here on Sunday evening last. This is a species of barbarous amusement; to which.the Portuguese look forward with great delight, although they are by no means so perfect in tha sport as the Spaniards, and they are consequently obliged to hire some of the performers from. the sister kingdom. Thy animal=, however, are equally good and ferocious. Those in tended for Lisbon, are chiefly bred in the neigh bourhoOdof Saivateira and Cartaxo, and also in a wild' tract of coinitrv, lying between the latter place and Rio Major ; and so enthusiastic are the natives here in the pursuit of this amusement, that many persons even of distinction ride out for several miles, to meet the bulls when Irought from the country towards town. On Saturday evening, I accidentally met one, of thee cavalcades, conveying several wild bulls, in tended as : victims for. the following day. They were mixed With some tame oxen, without which they could, not be driVen with any degree of safety into the city : as it was, I understand, that they killed two horses on the way. An escort of cavalry went out to meet them, as did also , Don Miguel's Major Domo, driving -the PrinCe's favourite low phaeton,' with six small white mules. The persons who had charge of the bulls, appeared equally savage : they were mounted on high thin horses, who had never known either curry-comb or brush : their equipment . consisted of a rude saddle, covered with sheep's skin, the Woolly Side'Out,"from which were suspended two small wooden boxes, to receive the feet as far as the instep, by way of stirrups. The dresses Of the heroes th - emselyes, consisted of a blue worsted elastic cap, of the shape of 'a night cap, a- short jacket thrown, over the shoulder, tight. breeches, with coloured worsted stockings and shoes, or long boots, in either case with a spur on, the .left: heel. They carried long sicnder poles, about. 15 feet in length, haYing a small sharp iron point, over their shoulders, which they use with great dexterity in driving the cattle, and turning their course, in situations where they could not otherwise- reach them. i roust now, however, come to the scene of action —which is a large amphitheatre, principally built of wood, in rather' a rough .style, but: well enough suited to the pastime. Here the inhabitant; of Lisbon throng, more eager than to witness the finest spectacle, and the - place is not unfrequently graced by thc.R o y a l presence. The ring is very spacious, and is Only roofed over the heads of the spectators. The ad mission to the Shady . side is charged double the'price to that on which the sun 'shines. The doors were . opened at three (the weather piping hot), and the performance commenced at five. There is generally a member of ithe Government present to direct the business, as was the case on this occasion, In one of the boxes. A squire on horseback attended within the ring, immediately below the man of authority's box, to convey his orders. The chief performer Was a man on horseback, styled a " Piccador," and dressed in a fine silk coat, with rocked hat and feathers. The first bull turned in was worried by this person, who gallopped about with a short lance or barbed 'stick, five or six feet long, whi^h he occa sionally plunged into the animal's neck and shoulders. Several of these lances he broke, and left the iron part, with a portion of the wood hanging to it, in the bull's flesh. This naturally enraged the animal, but the ri-an never struck 'at him until attacked. The bull had red ribbons (as a sign that he was doomed to die) attached to his horns, on the tips of which were nobs of wood, to prevent his goring the horse. 'He . had, nevertheless, great strength .and power to do -both . horse and man material in jury; and, therefore, when closely pursued, some of those on foot threw a scarlet or .pink mantle at the bull, which diverted his attention for the mo int.nt from the -object of his fury. After the Pic cador had had his play, the " Matador," a man of death, stepped forward with a Scarlet mantle in one hand and a sword in the- other ; this was considered a very nice and expert feat, for while the bull 'was in the act of rushing at him, he plunged the sword into the root of his. neck near the. hack, into his heart, and the animal fell amidst thunders of ap plause. The next was: consigned to•the " Capinhas," as they are called, five or six persons who perform on foot ; they were . nearly all smart, well-made, active Spaniards, dressed in ' fine spangled . silk jackets, bags, silk stockings, and shoes. They car ried a short stick; about te.o feet long, barbed with iron; in each hand, and when the bull attacked any of them they stuck these instruments of torture into his neck and shoulders; where they were left hanging and. rattling. By a side. spring the men evaded the filo/ 'of the bull, and procures a fresh supply, of sticks. As in the case of the Piccador, when they were in danger, recourse : was: had to the coloured mantles, or else they sprang • over the ring amongst the spectators. As this bull, like the ; for mer, was to suffer death, 'he underwent greater tor ment ; some of the barbed sticks had *fireWorks on .them, and burnt the animal' through the ".bide to the flesh, the sinO and sight of which wotild have made. the Ex-Member of Galway's very hair stand on -end.. i The Matador after wards did *his 'office,. and .the carcass was' draWn off by four harnes:;ed mules. Several other has were -then, one at a time, let loose, and shoWed good sport. As most of them were not, however, intended to be killed, they were,' after the play of the Ca pinhas or Piccador, who sometimes took one in turn, taken by the hand, as it • is termed, by a third class of persons, styled " Forcadors," who guard the boxes containing the .barbed sticks, with poles, hav in a short blunt iron fork on the end ofeach, which, On this occasion, they laid aside, and regularly took the bull by the horns; some of whom were tossed about in fine style. But they hung on ene animal's' neck and shOulders until; with the assistance ofninn berg, the bull was led off by, them at plea.stire. One, man nearly lost.his life with this sport. He was Car.: tied out as if dead,. but he afterwards made his ap pearance. The poor squire was unhorsed once, and received some injury. When any of the men are found to be dead after they are carried out, the ma nager says nothing about it (no Coroner's Inquest here) but if they recover, it is announced' to the audience. The performance lasted till eight o'clock, during which three bulls Were killed; and nine more sported with. In two cases regular dogs were let loose' upon them, by way of variety. The company Was very „numerous, amongst which' were Sir Wm. A'Court and several British Officers, • one of whom was a dashing Colonel of Hussai•s, accompanied by a fair lady, who, regardless . of the opinion of the world, followed him to the wars.. STATEMENT OF' THE PRESI'.NT STRENGTH AND POSITION OF THE EMI' IN POEi SUMMER ASSIZES; . • NORFOLK CIRCUIT—HUNTINGDON, - Juts' SO. (Yams OUR CORRESPONDENV) The neat. little town of Huntingdon, presented this •morning an unusual degree of bustle, in consequence of the extraordinary degree of interest excited by the case of Joshua Slade, whose trial for the murder of the aged Rector of Stokely, was fully expected to take, place in the course of the day. Long before the hour appointed for the opening of the Court, its doors were besieged by an im mense and impatient multitude, anxious to witness the judicial proceedings of the day.. ,The Court-hall being small, not one-tenth part of the visitants obtained admis sion. But hundreds, whom curiosity had attracted from 'msiderable distances, remained in the town during the prOCeedings of the Court, in order to be apprised of the • decision of the Jury in thiS mysterious affair. After the Grand Jury were sworn, among whom we noticed Lord Viscount ifandeville, Lord John Russell, W. H. Fellowes, James Torkington, D. Rowley, and D. Veasey, Esqrs., to . !Tether with several of the most respectable and icfluential gentlemen of the County, Baron ALEXANDER briefly addressed them, remarking On the peculiarity distinguishing the case of Slade, -who was charged with the commission of a crime of the deepest enormity against human society—that of wilful murder ; arguing that every circumstance connected with it, required the most mature cqiberation, and intimating that dis coveries might yet be made-, which would throw a more fill! and convincing light on the transaction. - 'William Slade, aged 64, and Elizabeth his wife, aged 56, charged on suspicion of receiving from their sons, Joshua and John Slade, 'a gun, a quantity of bacon, a great coat, &c. the 'property of Mr. Emmanuel Thompson, (If Stow, firmer, knowing the same to have been stolen.—Ni true bill. " • - A true bill ivas found by the Grand Jury. against Joshua Slade, charged on suspicion of murdering the Rev. 'Joshua Waterhouse, Clerk, in Little Stakeley, on the •3d day of July inst. - His trial commences this morning (Tuesday) at nine o'clock. It is more than probable, from insufficiency in the evidence, that the actual commission of the deed cannot be traced to him. The testimony of Heddings, a notorious fellow, who had sentence of death recorded against him three years since, for a daring offence, can have little weight against him ; but should Slade be .ac quitted of the murder, he will have to sustain another capital charge, that for hurglarinusly entering the dwelling louse of Mr. Emmanuel Thompson, of Stovi, in' this county, _and taking therefrom three sovereigns and two - Story,' of Slpadige, fromaged John 22: is a to d r na one-pound, notes. Heddings has had a true bill returned against hit*, for stealing John a Broughton, farmer. King's evidence, The result of their trial, owing to the strong deposition made by Heddings against Joshua Slade, with respect to the murder, is looked forward to with.all the interest which so flagitious an offence is calculated to excite. Heddings is a remarkably good-looking man ; he appears but little concerned at his approaching trial. His Wife, we understand; bears a good character in the village of Little .Stukeley, where they might have led a comfort able life, Heddings having in his own right two substan tial cottages, two paddocks, ,§zc. ; but , his propensity:to thieving, as he has since -his confinement acknowledged, had gained. E 0 complete a mastery over him, that he conti nually anticipated nothing less than this his second appear ance before a Judge and Jury. . WESTERN CIRCUIT.-SALISBURY, JuLy O. This morning:being appointed for opening the bu - siness of the Assize for the county of Wilts, a very numerous body of the gentry of the county answered to their names, when the Grand Jury List was called over, and Mr. Benett, M.P. for the County, was sworn in as Fore Man. The CUIF.F.jUSTICE - began his charge by observing how glad he was that there was so respectable an attendance of the Grand Jury 'of the County, whence he concluded that it would need but little observation from 'him to point out those cases which would , requke their strictest attention-- The first was one on which he was desircus of speaking with as much delicacy as the forms of law would allow, but which, being against Christianity, as well as against the law of England, required their very l earnest attention. Should they be at a loss on any part of the subject, he should be happy to assist them. The - neat was one in which death had arisen 'from furious driving; but he thought that it could hardly ',e prO - ved to be mere than manslaughter. The- g reat question would be whether the death had proceeded from negligence, for certainly there were trades in which the public had a right to expect that the professors of them should be expert in the matters they were undertaking. The next offence of which he was about to remark was a charge of arson, brought against a boy of a very tender age—no more than twelve. Front his youth it Would be necessary for the Grand Jury to consider, whether at the time he commit ted the offence, he was fully aware of the consequences, 'and likewise, whether'the buiiding which he was said to have .burned, came within the meaning of the lair. On the list there was - a charge of cutting and maiming, which under Lord Ellenborough's act had been made criminal, if com mitted under.such circumstances, that in the event of the death of the man, the crime would have amounted to mur der. Jn • the. present case, he believed that it would be found that the knife was not used until the prosecutor had struck the first blow ; awl certainly where the blood was excited by the provocation of a blow, any thing done im mediately in the passion, could not in the eye of the law, be looked upon as murder. lie could not, however, but Teel much iegret, that a knife should ever be used by_ Englishmen,. as the means of carrying- on a quarrel ; the tine had been, when the gists were thought sufficient in a fair. and open combat, and though considerable mischief might at times have arisen from each a•inethod, yet never theless it was highly- preferable to a sharp and' deadly weapon; • and while he strongly condemned the prize , ring as disgraceful to any civilized couotre, yet he hoped ahat : the spirit - of boxing would • always find encouragement in England, for he was convinced that there would arise from it a proper British -determination, which would prevent courage from "degenerating into brutality, and 'would secure men from the treachery of thbse whom they might have offended. His Lordship then proceeded to take a view 'of, the alterations introduced into the penal code by -Mr. Peel's new acts, and bestowed vet' high praise, Loth upon the manner in which that' gentleman had gathered his information, asid the matter which lie had upon, that infOrmation introduced into his bills. It might perhaps ; be thought that the Right .Hon. Gentleman had not gone tar enough. in soma of his changes, lint still so much good had been done dry. the general 'alteration, that those acts, could not be looked upon too highly. - In looking upon the calendar, in general, his Lordship could not but see that crime and vice were upon the increase in the comity of Wilts, and feared that the peasantry could no longer, as heretofore, he styled ,their country's pride. Much, however, he was convinced might be done towards restoring them to .that amiable distinction by introducing regularity, order, and self-esteem among them. The peasant ought not to feel himself dependant on the poor rates for an additional sum to thet paid him for his own labour : it tuck away from him the feeling that he ought to have, of being able to main tain himself, and made him look to others for support. The great thing waster make them feel as their fathers had done— th at the bread purchased by their own earnings was ,3weeter than any that could begieen them. It was a mistake to suppose that the prosperity of a country was displayed in its fine arts, or, its literature, or its accomplishmentsl—these ; indeed, were the consequencet of its prosperity, but the cause of that prosperity was to be found in the poorer classes being in a flourishing condition, and able to earn such a competency as should not only meet their present wants, but enable them to lay up a little store for ; the casualties of age and accidents. The Grand JUry then retired, but after a short absence they returned, and, through their Foreman, presented to his LordshiP . the.following resolution . Resolved,—That. the thanks of.this Grand Jury be presented to the Right Hin. Lord Chief Justice Beet, for the able charge Which he has just,delivered to us. "'That our foreman he instructed to' present the above resolution to the Lord Chief Justice, and to, express: to his Lordship our earnest request that he will permit his admirable charge to be printed, in order that observations so important may b? generally circulated, and that the public may receive the gratification an,l advantage, which an acquaintance with such valuable instruction cannot fail to impart." . The CHIEF JUS"TICF expressed his gratification at the compliment paid to him, and regretted that as the charge had been deliVered ex tempore, he had no note on the sub ject. He would, however, endeavour after the circuit, when be should have more time than at present, to comply with their wishes. T FS V. COLLINS. This Was an action brought by the plaintiff to rec9yer the stun of 1237., which he alleged he had paid over to the defendant. Mrs. Collins is the sister of *the plaintiff, and during the life CMe of her husbarid,'LaWrs becatni in debted to him in the sum of 200/., in acknowledgment a which, a promissory note, signed by the plaintiff, was given to the estate of the deceased. From the evidence' of a brother of the .plaintiff. it appeared that at his sister's re quest, he went to the plaintiff to ask him if it was con• venient for him to pay time amount of that.note,.•on which the plaint.iff paid over to him the slim di 1231., which . .aum the defendant lent to the brothel., who made I the demand in her name, and who afterwards became a bankrupt, the same sister being , the 'petitioning credi. tor. Shortly after this transaction the executors of the late Mr. Coains's. will applied to the - Plaintiff - for the estate ; upen which the plaintiff offered to pay 77/., full payment of the 2 00 !. bill , as due from him to the alleging that he had already paid over• to Mrs. Collins the other however, did not satisfy the ex ecutors, I rs,%ti l .This answer, d t hey ace 9, di gl y brought 'an action for the whole amount against the plaintiff, at the last Wiltshire assizes, when they recovered. Finding, therefore, that in. the eve of the law, the payment of the money to the widow, was not a payment to the estate, the plaintiff b roug ht the present action to recover the 10/. made over to her through his brother. —Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 1 931. In the course of this ease, when Mr. Sergeant WIL6E was replying to the evidence for the defence, which had been brought forward by Mr. C. F. WILLIAMS, the Learned Sergeant suddenly burst from some comment on, 'the testimony; to exclaim, "Mr. Williams, if you want to act, you hail better get on the table." Mr; C. F. WILLIAMS.'—I was not acting, Sir ; 'and it is an insult to use such language to me. • Mr. Sergeant Nlrri.nE..- 1 .-Well, :Sir, you were throwing Up your eyes and hands as if in astonishment of what I Was saying. , Mr. C. F. WILLIAMS--I was. doing . no such thing; but yon have such a flux of words, as you supplied the term last night, that— Mr. Sergeant WitnEOli, you are very welcome to the term ; but if you were not acting—and of course you were not—something flitted before my eyes; and led me astray. Mr. Justice BURROUGH mediated between the contend ing parties, and these angry signs" of war returned to a quiescent calm, through which the Learned Sergeant pur sued his address to the Jury. THE INFANT lIINDOO MOURNER (From . the Rengal...Hurkaru, a Calcutta Newspaper.) Upon a woody bank I roatn'd at eve, Close to the Ganges gliding stilly on ; And thro' a glade the sun's last beams I saw, And o'er the golden tide their radiance stream'd— - It was a sweetly pensive hour of calm; The myna chirp'd upon the manga bough, Aid gently coo'd the ring -dove, 'midst. the leaves. I heard a fretful cry of infant wail, Tremulous, floating on ,the breeze of eve, And paus'd to listen—when these words I caught : " Mother.! mother ! Oh my dearest mother !" I hurried onward to the sandy waste That edg'd the, water. On the around there sat, N Near a heap of ashes, - tnould'ring drear, Weary and desolate, a little Child : One tiny hdnd a drooping flower held fast, Emblem most meet of that, unhappy child ; The other wip'd away the scalding tears . That from her dim black orbs tame trickling down, As ou that achy heap she gaz'd intent, Repeating still her cry of infant wail, Mother,! mother ! ,Oh my dearest mother ! " Stranger !" exclaimed an aged peasant near, " The story of that orphan soon is told : Child of my- child, her father paid the debt Which awful nature claims, nor reeled 'his babe, Who deem'd him sleeping in a heavy sleep : And wont you wake, my father? she would say, And wont you speak, nor take me on your knee,? The brahmin came—a garland in his hand, And hung it on the vierim'mother's neck; And there the living with the dead'went forth. The drear procession reach'd the fated ground Where wood and fire as meet convenient lay. The child her mother follow'd, laughing still, Or skipp'd before her, sportive as a lamb : Or grasp'd the hand whose soft caress was life. At last the parent stoop'd and kiss'd the child,. And as she kiss'd her, down a truant tear. Trickled away, and from her quiv?ring Tlie pangs she 'spoke not, breath'd upon her child. A quick presentiment appear'd to cast Its instant gloom upon the little one : Unto her mother's bosom fast she clung, 'And sobbed and wept. The mother soothing, placed You flower, now faded, in her infant hand. The frail pledge remains, but 0 ! the giver ! One last long kiss she gave, and tore away And the pile she mounted by the side Of him who press'd that bridal couch of death. • Her infant fain would follow, but we held • The little struggler, while her piercing cries In vain reach'd her, who soon could hear no more. " C.lme hack, my mother; mother ! mother ! mother !" The din of direful discord rose, and smoke Ascended blackly through the sunny The crowd dispers'd, hut still the .babe remains, And remained since that dread morning hour, Weeping, and gazing for her mother there And nothing finds but loneliness and ashes. Mark the sad wildness of her, young despair As on that ashy heap her gaze is tix'd, With bitter tears and deep convulsive sobs ; And hark again! her cry of infant wail, ' " Mother ! mother ! Oh my dearest mother !" The system of gambling which is' daily prac iised on the Sstock Exchange reflects disgrace on the coon-. try. If only such men as himself suffered from theeffects of Mr. fienty's conduct, none would, be found to commise rate them, but it. unfortunately happens that the specious artifices of the ;lobbing gentry decoy many honest individuals into spectdations, by which they are titteil.y ruined. A Sunday Paper informs the public, that in consequence of one of those disastrous speculations, a Military Officer of rank and highly respectable family connections, has been obliged to seek an -asylum on the Continent. We have since ascertained him to be the brother of an ex-functionarv, who is the. intimate associate and friend of a• Noble and Gallant Duke. It is sai‘t,that some others, whose pursuits are equally uncongenial with the region of the Stock Ex:. change, must also take flight, if they are not vet on the wing. —Mord ng Herald.

Yesterday , morning, between • four and 'five o'clock, the inhabitants of the town were alarnied by loud claps of thunder and lightning of the most vivid. line, • such as the oldest inhabitants never experienced.. About five o'clock, after one of the loudest explosions imaginable,' one hOuse,- situate in the centre of the , town, was struckiby the electric fluid, which entered at the roof, and having descended three floors, in its prOgres destroyed a boy who had ju s t go t out o f bed for 'the purpose of quenching his thirst with some water, 4hich was at a short distance frOm the bedstead. The house wa3 immediately in flames, and, notwith standing the engines were, on the spot it;inie diately, and every assistance rendered, two other houses adjoining were burnt to the ground, 'anti most of the goods; belonging to the inmates consumed. Within about half a mile of Let tering the turnpike llotise of Mr. Hughes was also struck by lightning. The family, con sisting of nine persons, were all in bed at the time. The electric fluid entered at the roof, and having passed through the room in Whicly Mr. Hughes and wile were, struck the bedstead, *Which was' shiver'ed 'to atoms, and the curtains were also set in flames. Extraordinary to relate, neither of them were in the 'slightest degree in jured, nor any' of the other inmates. The elec tric. fluid in its progress passed th rou gh t h e s id e 1 1 wall of the house through a large hole: . Marge oak tree . was also struck by th e fl u id, and splintered to the ground.

IL THE DUKE OF CLARE7:7I -- 7 PEMBROKE DOCK, LAtams or THE CLARE CE 84-ars smr. *Monday, the day appointed for the arrival of his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, Lord High Admiral of England, .at Pembroke Dock., the Castlemartin Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by George Bowling, Esii. assembled at Pen:- broke, for the purpose of forming an escort for his Royal Highness from the Dock-yard t 6 Stackpole Court, the residence of the Right Hon. Lord Cawdor. At one o'clock, the whole Marched into the yard, and formed in line a nearly opposite the landing-place as the ground would admit of. After a lapse of some hour's, is o. were discovered at the harbour's mouth, one dis playing the Royal Standard at the masthead, which were soon discovered to be thoSe convey ing her Royal Highness the Duchess of Clarence from 'llfracombe. On passing Milford the dif ferent vessels off that place fired a salute, and on their near approach to the Yard, the Crocus brig of war fired a royal salute of 21 guns.= About four o'clock her Royal Highness de scended from the steamer into the Royal Barge, manned by a selected crew of Warrant Officers, and landed under another royal aalite from the Crocus. She was received on shore by Sir John Owen, Bart., the Lord- Lieutenant for the County, the Right Hon. Lord Cawdor,'Sir W. W. Wynne, Sir. Christopher Cole, M.P.,Bsc. The troops sainted on her passing to the car riage of the Right Hon. Lord Cawdor, and on her entering it accompanied b y the Princess Carloffand the Hon: Miss Fitzclarence. The second and third divisions Of the cavalry then formed themselves bat° an escort for her Royal Highness, 'second division in front, Lieut. Paynter, and Cornet Mansel riding alongside, and the third division in the rear of the carriage, which moved on at a rapid rate, until it arrived at Bush Gate, where it was met by the Body Corporate 'of Pembroke, in full costume, atten ded by an immense number'of the townspeople, - bearing flags, &c. Thence the cavalcade pro 7 ceeded in, regular order, at a slow rate, to the foot of the- Green, where the horses were taken from the carriage, and the populace drew it through the town, where several triumphal arches were erected, . amidst cheering and the firing of cannon, until it reached the east end. At the east end the horses were put to, and her Royal Highness, accompanied by the escort of cavalry, proceeded to Stackpole- court, at which place the Royal visiter was most gracefully re ceived by Lord and Lady Cawdor. Among those in attendance were noticed Lord Kensing ton, Sir NV. W. Wynne, Admiral Sir T. Foley, Admiral Sir Charles Tyler, Sir C. Cole, Grant Philips, Esq., and Captain Philip's, of Cwm gwilly. As soon as the Duchess had 'quitted the carriage, a discharge of cannon took place ; and on her retiring into the house, the cavalry returned to Pembroke, to partake of a dinner provided at the Dragon Inn, at the expence of Lord Cawdor, who, in the most handsome man ner, directed that: each member might be sup= plied with a bottle of wine : eighty-two ' sat down to dinner on this occasion. At twelve it was ascertained that the Royal Yacht had arrived off the Dock-yard, whence a de tachment of cavalry was ordered to pro ceed, to ascertain the movements of his Royal Highness ; they, however, soon returned with the information, that he would not land until three o'clock on Tuesday evening. At that hour they met and drew up on the same around as they had occupied on the previous day. At five his Royal Highness landed from the Crocus brig, the yards of which and those of the Royal Yacht being manned, a sight that few in that neighbourhood had- before witnessed. On his landing he was met by the Body Corporate and welcomed to Pembroke , he then, accom panied by some . Naval Officers, left the Yard, by the water-gate, and,examined.the Old Fort; he then proceeded .along shore to the Royal William, thence to the different ships building. In about half an hour his Royal Highness came out in his own carriage, and accompanied by the Ist and 2d troops 'of Cavalry, proceeded at a gallop towards Pembroke. At the Bush-gate the carriage was met by the townspeople, and an attempt was made to take out the horses, but his Royal Highness requested,they would not do so' until they had descended the hill. Captain Lloyd, R.N. assured . his Royal Highness that .no mischief could occur, as . he had provided 40 able seamen for the express purpose. - On reaching the foo' of the Green, 21 guns were fired from the timber-yard of Mr. • John Russell, the horses were disengaged from the carriage, and the ropes fixed, when the procession advanced at a slow pace, giving every person art opportunity of seeing his Royal Highness. At the east end the horses were put too, and moved off at a gallop, accompanied by the main body of of the cavalry, to Stackpole Court Directions were then given to assemble at Stackpole at four on Wednesday. Early on that day a fresh order arrived, requiring the attendance of the escort at an earlier hour, it being her Royal Highness's wish to inspect Pembroke Castle. Her Royal Highness was led to the carriage by Lord Ken sington, and on the Princess Carloff, the Hon. Miss Fitzclarence, and Lady Cawdor being safely seated therein, drove off for Pembroke. Aft er ex amining the Castle, with which they appeared. much gratified, they proceeded to the Dock-yard,to witness that most interesting sight, the La - u nc h Oad ien be S e h n ip cal . leTdit'ihsesGhiolpiafrh°,nb'uth...,, honour a) na in med The e 1 -dying o f of her Royal Highness, was this d t (if h e an 8 keel, 4 Clarence, her Royal High rue...s goi • ng through the ceremony of christening her. Soon after her Royal Highness had entered the Yard (about a quarter past. six) this fine ship glided majesti cally into her destined element, cheered in her course by. at least 20,000 persons, without any accident whatever occurring. It certainly, says our Correspondent, was as fine a launch as was ever witnessed, and, the novelty of having a Royal Yacht, two brigs of• war, several cutters, and craft of every description, added much to the beauty of the scene. Immediately after • the launch, their Royal Hi g hnesses landed from the Comet steamer, and having entered their car riage,. drawn by the Right Hon. Lord ,Cawdor's beautiful stud, an attempt was made by the:me chanics of the • Yard to disengage them, and draw the carriage out of the Yard. This , his Royal Highness would not consent to, and the Royal party then proceeded at full gallop until they reached Stackpole Court. Weathderstand, his Royal Highness is much. pleased with the Dock-yard, as a naval arsenal. It was nearly low water when he arrived in his yacht off the yard.—Cambrian. . In the small, but neat and retired churchyard of Montford, Shropshire,' lie the remains of fourteen persons, whose united ages amount to •one thousand two hundred . and five years ; all buried within a few years of each other. ~~'
