Sir,—l have this morning received the accom panying interesting letter, informing me of the recent eruption of the Ores. and Skapta Jokulls in Iceland, which can hardly fail to interest your readers, and especially those explorers who intend going to Iceland by the Arcturus next month. The letter is written by Mr. Hogarth, of Aberdeen, a gentleman well acquainted with Iceland, who is now building a house between Thingvalla and Eyrarbacki, where, he has informed me, he will be happy to welcome any members of the Alpine Club who may visit Iceland on an exploring expedition. Recent advertisements relative to the sailing of the Arcturus being calculated to mislead travellers as to the time of her leaving Grangemouth, you will perhaps allow me to state that I have just re ceived a letter from Messrs. Koch and Henderson, of Copenhagen, informing me that the Arcturus will leave Grangemouth between July 15 and 20, and that she will return from Reykjavik on Aug. 14. This will allow of a journey in Iceland of 17 or 18 days, which although less than could be wished, w °Did be sufficient to see the Geysers and visit the scene of the recent eruption. The journey would be one of great interest, and the information thus collected would be of great value to those who intend to take part in the more extensive exploring ourney which I have good reason to believe will .ake place next year.—l am, sir, yours, WILLIAM LONGMAN, Vice-President of the Alpine Club.

" Ey rebaki (Eyrarbacki), June 13. " Dear Sir,—l drop you a few lines to acquaint you with an interesting circumstance which has taken place here within a few days, but, unfortu nately, before our arrival, although we did fall in with a part of it before reaching the coast, which was meeting a large body of fresh very brown water about 80 miles off Ingolfo Head, on the morning of Monday last, the 10th inst., the tempera ture of which was 4G deg., two deg. lower than the previous day. We continued to sail through this stream of fresh water for about 30 miles, when we sighted the high land of Orwfa Jokull, and came into green water, which we carried with us into the shore, a distance of 50 miles, when we met the ordinary mild water of the snow streams of the land. "On mentioning this circumstance on our arrival here, we were informed that the Orcefa and Scapta Jamlls had both been in a state of eruption a few days back, the particulars of which we have been made acquainted with by the minister of that neigh bourhood, who was present and witnessed it, and the account which he gives is as follows :—On the 23d of May the first signs of the eruption were observed by an unusual flow of water from the Orcufa, and on the morning of the 24th they were awakened by a strong smell of sulphur, which became overpowering, and which was quite appa rent at Reykjavik, a distance of 200 miles ; at the same time all metals, except iron, had be come tarnished, although in many instances care fully wrapped up in cotton. It appears to have affected these metals at a distance of 50 miles from the mountain. The Rev. Mr. Pollson, our informant, states that this is the first real volcanic eruption which has occurred in the Orcefa Jokull, although the rivers Skeidava. and Neepo, flowing from the Skapta, have been regularly flooded every sixth year, the latter invariably following the former after the lapse of 24 hours, on all of which occasions large masses ojf ice are brought down from the mountain, and. remain in the low country for years before they disappear. On this occasion an interval of ten years has elapsed since the last regular flood ing of these rivers took place, and the quantity of water sent down by the present eruption completely inundated the flat land between those two rivers, a distance of 20 miles. Smoke in great quantities has been ejected on this occasion from both these moun tains, a circumstance not before known. Mr. Poll son we.s called from home three days after the eruption commenced, when it was as vigorous as ever, but has heard since that it has subsided, which we can corroborate, as we sailed close along the land on Tuesday morning last and had a fine view of the whole mountain range ; but the fact of the absence of any unusual quantity of fresh water ou the ocean near the land, while it abounded at 80 miles off, proved the thing. "The quantity of debris from the Orcefa appears to have been very great, as the coast here, a dis tance of 150 miles from the mountain, is covered with pumice stone and brush-wood. I have taken the liberty of communicating these circumstances to you, knowing the deep interest which you take in these matters, and regret that as we (Major Wyatt, C. 11., and self) are on the eve of starting for our fishing lodge in Thingvalla valley we are unable to collect any further particulars. I may mention that we. had a pleasant passage out from Aberdeen by sailing vessel in eight days, and have only fur ther to say that I have seen a very beautiful speci men of Suturbrond upwards of a foot through, and as hard and black as coal, and that you may make any use of this letter you may think proper for the benefit of those whom you think it might interest.

The Prince Started from Holyhead at 2.20 Eng- lish time, in the City of Dublin Company's steam ship Connaught, one of the four splendid boats which perform the accelerated postal service. She had been repainted and fitted up specially for the occasion. The Lord-Lieutenant arrived by special train from Westland-row at 4.30, and, with his Ex cellency's staff, awaited on the Carlisle Pier the ar rival of his Royal Highness. Although it was un derstood that the Prince's visit was to be as private as possible every available space whence a view could be had was crowded for hours before the time. Carriages were up along the road fronting the har bour, crowds covered the eminences in the neigh bourhood ; the East Pier, stretching out half a mile into the bay, was covered with spectators. The ad mission to the Carlisle Pier was only gained by tickets from the harbour commissioners, yet the pressure there was very great. H.M.S. Ajax, the Rainbow tender, the revenue cruisers, and a num- ber of yachts in the harbour were dressed with flags. The sceneviewed from Carlisle Pier was very striking. The whole line around the harbour as far as the eye could reach presented one mass of people, waiting with eager interest, despite the cold north The fire still continues to burn with great vio lence. One of the immense vaults, filled with oil, tallow, and other fatty substances, running over an acre of under-ground, was still in a blaze, and the engines were pumping water into the place, but there seemed not the least chanciof the firemen being able to get the flames extinguished for some days, and at a later part of the evening the flames rose considerably above the surrounding house-tops. The upper steam floating engine had been, during the day, discharging six tons of water per minute, and the lower float two tons per minute, into the blazing vaults, but the fire remained unrestrained:. A great number of carriages containing company, came to the ruins during the day, including Mr. Hodges, the distiller, but with the exception of the latter gentleman, whose engines have rendered great assistance, no persons were allowed by Mr. Superintendent Branford, to proceed beyond the barriers. This measure has been found absolutely pecessw,,_for some of the brigadk offickals think, and not without strong grounds, ittatif the water• once fills the vaults, it will drive the burning tallow not only dqwn the ,sewers, but also into the open streetS: "If the e`',lattei. were to tait . eplace, it is' ippes- - thitititgbfaie Jaolepstieet *as wolwi* sibli 6 tell luit - J.

If the former should take place, great as the catastrophe has been it will be still much greater. wind that blew stifly at the time. The Lord Lieutenant was accompanied by Sir George Brown, Mr. Hatchell, private secretary ; Lord St. Lawrence, State Steward ; Mr. Marshall Marshall, Master of the Horse ; Mr. Cockerill, Aide-de-Camp ; Me- Creyke, Assistant Private Se cretary ; Dr. Hughes, Surgeon to the Household, &c. Among the other gentlemen who proceeded by the special train to receive his Royal Highness were—Lord Viscount Gough, Right Hon. Chief Justice Monahan, Major-General Hastings, Colonel Brownrigg. Judge O'Brien, Captain Donaldson, Admiral Evans, Iron. Mr. Hutchinson, Captain M'Clean. Mr. George Roe, Colonel Lake, Sir Ber nard Burke, Ulster King-at-Arms ; Hon. G. Han cock, chairman of the Kingston Railway Company ; William Dargari, vice-chairman ; Mr. Moore, Secre tary; Mr. Mortimer Harris, traffic manager, &c. At half-past 5 o'clock, Irish time, the Connaught appeared rounding the pierhead. A Royal salute was fired by the Ajar_ A guard of honour, con sisting of 150 men of the 19th Regiment, with the band, presented arms,while loud and repeated cheers from the crowds along the pier hailed the appear ance of the Prince, who stood on the bridge waiv ing his hat repeatedly and bowing. The steamer was brought quickly alongside, when the Lord- Lieutenant and his staff went on board and re ceived his Royal Highness. After a few moments' delay the Kingstown Commissioners and the rail way directors were introduced to the Prince in the saloon, where Mr. Chambers, justice of the peace and Chairman of the Commissioners, read the fol lowing address : " May it please your Royal Highness,— " We, the Town Commissioners and other inha bitants of Kingstown, beg, on our own part, and on the part of every inhabitant of the town, to express our pleasure at having the opportunity, by your presence within th.e precincts of our township, to tender to your Royal Highness our heartfelt wel come to this island,. and to express our hopes that your visit to us ma.y impress your mind with a fa vourable opinion of our country. Its natural beau ties we believe are high, while its warm-hearted attachment to your person and your Royal House render it zealous of ranking as high in your regard as any portion of her Majesty's wide dominions. We cannot refrain from adding our sincere assur ances to your Royal Highness that her Majesty's Irish subjects are sincerely attached to a Throne which challenges their love and admiration by the high example of virtue and goodness it sheds around us, while it claims fresh loyalty and gratitude for the blessings of - peace and increasing prosperity which flow from its just and liberal rule." His Royal Highness read the following reply : " Gentlemen,—l most heartily thank you for the gratifying terms in which on your own behalf, and that of the inhabitants of Kingstown, you greet me on my arrival at your port, after a voyage performed with such ease and expedition in the admirable vessel considerately placed at my disposal by its enterprising proprietors; nor shall I fail to convey to the Queen your assurances of loyal attachment to her person and Government, and your emphatic acknowledgment of the blessings en joyed under her rule. During former visits to Ireland, and particularly in the course of a tour made some years since through the country, I had considerable opportunities of witnessing the beauty of her scenery and of experiencing the warm-heartea kindness of her people, and these agreeable recol lections tend greatly to enhance the pleasure with which I look forward to a more prolonged krod'ourn among you on the present occasion." His Royal Highness did not seem at all the w orse for the voyage, though the wind was contrary - and the sea rough. He remained on deck nearly - the whole time, partook of a hearty lunch in the la dies' cabin in company with Major-General Bruce :and Colonel Koppel, and enjoyed himself very mud] i on the passage, expressing to Captain Williams his satisfaction with all the arrangements on board . Shortly after the presentation of the address .his Royal Highness and the Lord-Lieutenant ent ez ed the Royal carriage, accompanied by their respect .ve suites, amid the enthusiastic cheers of the cro/ ,vd, which were continued as long as the train remained in sight. A guard of honour was posted at Westl and row, where the Lord-Lieutenant's carriages were waiting to convey the Royal party to the Vice regal Ledge. where the Prince is to stay as the gu est of his Excellency while he remains in Dublin, On !nder, Liptcy.

IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.- After long experience, deep researches into chymistry, by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means whereby oats, beans, and oilcake may be entirely dispensed with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn, linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24 worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the market. Two quarts of t his compound meal, weighing 31bs., at the cost of Id., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three quarterns of oats, costing 74d. 14 barrels welgh net 1 ton 1 at fes. per cwt., £l6 ln s , ne t cas h , free, delivered by my own waggons to any station in London.

This morning, in the shops, yards, and works of the majority of the large master builders and con tractors in the metropolis, the system of paying and engaging their workmen by the hour, as agreed upon at the meeting of the Masters' Association, at Radley's Hotel, on Monday last, was put into operation. In the works of those employers unin fluenced by, or not belonging to, the association, as well as in those who have accepted the terms of compromise offered by the men, no alteration from the present mode of payment will take place. The delegates of the various trades were invited to meet several legal gentlemen at the chambers of Mr. T. Hughes (Tom -Brown), in Lincoln's-inn fields, on Thursday last, who, having heard the statements and explanations of the men, informed them the terms of their compromise seemed fair and equitable. The results of this conference will be shortly placed before the public. The masons held a meeting on Saturday, and having received a report from their committee of the proceedings of the past week, a resolution was adopted pledging the men to continue their opposi tion to the hour system, and their determination not to return to work for those employers who re fused the terms of the compromise. The bricklayers, in accordance with the recommen dation of their society, on Saturday held meetings at all the jobs of those employers who had announced their intention of enforcing the hour system, and having formally entered their protest against the system, it was forwarded to the employers, with an intimation that they should not resume work until the terms of the compromise were accepted. As two out of the five branches composing the building trades terms offered have thus branches, would struck, a conference of the whole has been h e ld, an d it h as b een decided that it would be unnecessary f or the present to call out the other b a y be s i t f b thee givenmasons to masterstahn theaccede carpen t ers, briek t l to ytehres plas terers, lt com promiseabse. terers, and painters. These trades have therefore met in their shops, and sign ified to their employers that they acc e pt th e hour s ystem provisionally, or under protest, until the question is settled with the masons and bricklayers. in the meantime, a gene ral levy will be m a d e b y t h e trades remaining at work, towards the support of the two trades on strike. A meeting of carpenters employed by Mr. Myers, of Lambeth, was held on Friday evening, at the Sun, Mason-street, Westminster-road, after the in terview held with Mr. Myers, at the shop in the earlier part of the evening, when the resolution to accept the hour system under protest was confirmed, presented to them by Mr. My ers t o "d r i n k they su success to the hour system" was voted to the masons' strike fund, and a weekly levy oils. per head was also agreed upon, to be paid over to the same fund. Fully one-half of the men attending this meeting were what are called non-society men. CLERICAL PREFERMENT. —The Bishop of London has appointed the Rev. W. H.

BRAIDWOOD. One of the most imposing funerals that has taken place in the metropolis since the public obsequies of the Duke of Wellington was performed on Satur day, when the remains of the late chief of the Fire Brigade were solemnly conveyed to their last rest ing-place in Abney Park Cemetery, in the presence of an immense concourse of silent and almost mourn ing spectators. Seldom, if ever before in London, has such a marked tribute of public respect been paid to any private individual. The London Rifle Brigade, the Tower Hamlets Volunteers, all the pub lic and private fire brigades, with a large number of the city and metropolitan police, and the repre sentatives of the various great fire companies at ' tended on the occasion, and formed part of the pro cession, which extended upwards of a mile in length. The hour fixed for the departure of the cortege was 3 o'clock, but long before that time every avenue leading to Watling-street was blocked by a dense and almost impenetrable crowd, while throughout the entire length of the route along which it was to pass, every path was thronged, and the windows and even roofs of the houses crowded. Before 3 nearly all the shops were shut up, and at some houses where the deceased, we presume, was more inti mately known the shutters were closed and the blinds all drawn. Every bell from the city churches rang out a funeral peal, excepting only St. Paul's, which only tolls on the death of some member of the Royal family and of the Lord Mayor during office. From the large number of those who took part in the pro cession some difficulty was experienced in marshal ling it ; but by the time appointed all was in readi ness, and precisely at 3 o'clock the whole cortege moved forward in the following order. A body of the City Police. The London Rifle Brigade, with its band, under the com mand of Lieut.-Col. Hicks, to the number of about 700 The 7th Tower Hamlets, under the command of Captain- Commandant Ladbrook add Ensign E. Curtis, with various other Volunteer Rifle Corps, to the number of about 400.

Private carriage of the Duke of Sutherland. Private carriage of the Earl of Caithness. Private carriage of Dr. Cumming. And other private carriages. In the second mourning carriage were the Duke of Sutherland, Earl of Caithness, and Dr Cumming, who were present as friends of the deceased. An immense multitude had gathered in front of the Royal Exchange, and all round this space the roofs and windows were thronged. As the p r ocession slowly approached, the troops with arms reversed, and the bands slowly peal ing forth the Dead March, the mass of specta tors, as if by an involuntary movement all un covered, and along the rest of the route this silent token of respect was everywhere observed, The crowd was so great through Gracechurch-street that there was some delay and difficulty in getting the procession through , and which would have been still greater but for the exertions of the mounted officers and superintendents. Nevertheless, dense as was the throng, the most impressive silence and decorum prevailed everywhere. On reaching Abney Park the procession turned from the principal entrance down Church-street to the southern gates of the cemetry, near which the Presbyterian Chapel is situated. Into this the coffin T I-1 I? SIAMESE AMBAS SA D S. ption official Emperor r ee took bleau.

The crown, which is of a conical form, is covered with. a band of very thin caoutchoue, on which the diamonds are placed, so that at a little distance it resembles a pile of precious stones. At half-past a a Master of the Ceremonies went to conduct they. Ambassadors from their residence in the Rue Lord, Byron, and they left in carriages, with postilions, for the Lyons Railway Station. At Fontainebleau five open calelles were in waiting'for them at the sta tion. The cortege, after pissing through the town, entered the Palace by the Cour d'Honneur. A bate • tar= of the Guard was drawn up in the court, And paid the usual mtli,tary honours, and a detach ent of Ciiirassiers was stationed on either Side on,. • .the grand staircase and in the gallery. - The Am.' hat i44s iiiere . received at the foot of theist!aircase brae G•randiVlaster and the First Master of the Ceremonies.

Father Renaudie, missionary and, interpreter to the Embassy, read in French to their Majesties.

After the audience a collation was served for them in the large dining-room on the ground floor. The Am., bassadors were afterwards conveyed back to the station, and, on arriving in Paris, taken in Court carriages to their residence. MELANCHOLY BOAT ACCIDENT. A most painful sensation was occasioned in Read. ing and its neighbourhood last Friday by the spread, of intelligence that a very respectable youth, aged. 20, named Joshua James May, apprenticed to Mr. W. P. Ivey, silk mercer of the Market-place, had. met his death by drowning while boating on the Thames at Caversham, in company with an assis tant at the shop of Mr. Chesterton, clothier, King street, named Wm. Minns, who was somewhat older; and the calamity excited a deeper interest from the fact of alleged neglect on the part of a young man named Thatcher and two youths in not endeavouring to lend assistance when seated in a, large boat (capable of holding five persons) within_ a few strokes of the spat. The excitement, which. continued throughout the day, was greatly increased. in the evening by a report, which proved but too true, that two other persons, George Hawkcs, aged. 21, son of Mr. Ha.wkes, contractor, and Win. Smith, 19, son of Mr. Smith, of the George Hotel, Odiham, Hants, had met a similar fate to that which had. befallen May in the morning. The first accident occurred about 7 o'clock a.m., under the following circumstances :—May and Minns engaged a skiff at Caversbam, from Miss Freebody's establishment, and rowel down the river to the Pound, in the King's-meadow, and returned through Caversharn bridge as far as Mrs. Monck's, where they turned round with the intention of taking the boat home, but they had scarcely done so when it dipped at the head, and becoming filled with water the occu pants were immersed. Minus endeavettred to sup port, in a most praiseworthy manlier, his companion, who could not swim, and called for help to the three persons mentioned above, who were in a boat near, but they did not render aid. Edwin Higgs, em ployed at Messrs. Sutton's seed establishment, hap pened to be walking along the meadows at the time, and hearing cries of distress ran towards the bank of the river, at the same time taking off his coat, intending to jump in, but seeing the boat containing three between him and the spot where the young men were immersed, he called out to Thatcher, and the reply he received was, " It's no use ; they'll swamp us." Minns kept May above water as long as he possibly could, and then dis entangling himself made for the shore, which he reached safely. He then stripped off his clothes and courageously jumped in with the hope of saving the other, but he sank and did not rise again. Minns again swam to shore, but became insensible, and Mr Jacobs, gardener to Mrs. Monck, provided him with dry apparel, and having paid him what attention he needed, conveyed him to his employers in Reading. The river was dragged, and the body was shortly afterwards recovered. An inquest was held on Saturday at the Griffin Inn, before Mr. J. H. Cooke, the coroner for South Oxfordshire, when the jury returned a verdict of accidental death. They expressed their surprise that the per sons in the boat should have refused to give their assistance when requested to do so. We hear that Mr. Thatcher, who had on two previous occa sions narrowly escaped drowning, lost all nerve and presence of mind on beholding the danger in which. the young men were placed, and that the youths, who were also in the boat, were quite paralyzed with fear. Mr. Blandy, the coroner for the borough. of Reading, held an inquest on the bodies of the unfortunate young men, Hawkes and Heath, on. Saturday afternoon, at the White Hart Inn, Caver. sham-bridge, and from the evidence given it appears that the deceased were observed quietly rowng of the Thames known as Norcot-scours, s l n ß g r o w w a n. m together about a quarter of a m ile e b a e r l s ow by t t h m a_t e part raem and do Jameshad been rN iay. working .

Mr. Smith, architect, of Friar-street, Reading, de.. posed that Heath was an articled pupil to him, and, left the office at about 6 o'clock in company with. his friend, George Hawkes. The jury returned a, verdict of accidental death. The youth Heath wag c autioned on that morni ng as to the danger of per. sons boating who were unable to swim by his uncle„ Mr. J. Smith, collector of corporation tolls and: hall-keeper at Reading, who also despatched a let-' ter in the afternoon to his parents at Odiham, deg siring them to communicate with him on the subject, owing to the fatal consequences of the accident which befel the unfortunate young man May in the morning. Both Hawkes and Heath were respect-. able young men, and of most steady habits.
