No. 19,36i.] [PRICE SD. TIER MAJESTY'S RETURN FROM every departniept of art and science, which will long con tinue, and from which the happiest results are following. " We trust ; your Royal Highness will find that in this ancient, and we hope rising borough, we are by no means indifferent to the advancement of science and letters; and that you will see with interest the new structures which are raising for our Subscription Library, and Literary and Philosophical Society ; the latter of which your Royal Highness has been pleased to distinguish by becoming its patron, and which has been now established for upwards of 30 years, and the former for 80 years, both beieg in most flourishing circumstances. " We are persuaded oho that your Royal Highness will view with interest the distinguishing features of this lo cality, so favoured by nature for extended mercantile and maritime enterprise. Being situate ,on the Humber, the finest estuary in the kingdom, and in close proximity to the mouths of the great rivers, the Hull, Ouse, and Trent, they, with their tributary. streams, and the canals branch ing from them, combined with the rapialy-iricreasing faei- Jities for access, and transit afforded by railways, which now communicate with London through the greatest manu facturing districts of the country, and with Liverpool, thereby connecting the Irish Bea with the German Ocean, confer peculiar advantages for the conveyance of the pro d uctions of a large space of country to Hull, .and for re ceiving and transmitting foreign merchandise. We trust that the sight of our extensive and.commodions harbour, docks, warehouses, and the shipping c rowding our port, will gratify your Royal Highness, as evidencing our dispo sition to make the most of our resources, one the success which has already so far attended our efforts that Hull has become the third shipping port in the kingdom. " We trust that God may long - "Tare to her Majesty, your august children, and the nation, at large, a life so dear and valuable to all, as that of your Royal Highness, to continue exhibiting to every man in the kingdom, high and low, a pattern for the performance of the duties of life in every station, and especially to him whom the pro vidence of God may hereafter assign the sceptre of, these realms, and also to all the Royal family ; on behalf of whom, together with our beloved Queen and your Royal Higness, our fervent and trustful prayers ever ascend for your welfare, both here and hereafter, to the Almighty God and Father of us all.

The Queen's train comprised three splendid sa loon carriages belonging to the Great Northern Rail way Company ; her Majesty, her Royal Consort, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal occupying the• centre saloon, and the two younger Princesses with the ladies of the suite the first, and Prince Alfred with his tutor the last. Both the young Princes wore kilts. Notwithstanding that her Majesty's arrival in Edin burgh took place after dusk, there were large numbers of well-dressed persons assembled in the park, and, although the Royal party drove front St. Margaret's sta tion to Holyrood in closed carriages, they were cordially cheered in passing. With the loyal welcome were blended the strains of military nineic and the boom of the Castle guns. The Royal party reached Holyrood Palace at about 7 o'clock, and carriages were ordered next mor nin g at a quarter past 10 ; their departure from St. Margaret's station for Hull being fixed for half-past 10. The Minister in waiting was the Earl of Aberdeen, who had joined her Majesty on Tuesday from Liaddo house, Sir James Graham having left the same day for London. In her Majesty's suite was Major: Lord Burg hersh, who had arrived at Balmoral on Wednesday morning from London, with despatches from Lord Raglan to the Queen, formally announcing the great triumph of her Majesty's arms on the Alma. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, FRIDAY EVENING.—The train with her Majesty and Royal suite reached the central station in this town at 20 minutes to two o'clock this afternoon. It stayed half an hour, and the royal party partook of luncheon. There was an immense concourse of inhabitants of the town in the station and neighbour hood, who greeted her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Royal children with immense cheering. Lord Aberdeen was the Minister in attendance. Sir George Grey was prevented from being present by a slight injury he has received by a fall Irons a horse. . The Mayors of Newcastle and Gateshead were intro duced to her Majesty and Prince Albert, who expressed great sympathy for the inhabitants of the town in their loss by the recent fire. Her Majesty instructed the Mayor of Gateshead to place 100 guineas to her name on the subscription list for the relief of the sufferers. The Royal train stopped on the High Level Bridge to give the Royal party an opportunity of viewing the ruins on the Quayside and at Gateshead. The directors of the North-Eastern Railway travelled in the Royal train from Berwick to York. HULL, Oct. 13.—Her Majesty arrived here at a few minutes before six o'clock this evening, and was re ceived upon the platform by the Chairman and Directors of the North-Eastern Railway, the Mayor and Corpora tion of Hull, the Earl of Yarborough, the Earl of Carlisle, Lord Londesborough, Lord Hotham, and Sir Harry Smith. An immense concourse of townspeople and visitors filled the station. The Queen and Royal family proceeded at once to the Railway Hotel, where addresses were presented from the coproration and local bodies. There is a general illumination in the town this evening. The folio ving address of the corporation is from the pen of the Recorder of Hull, Samuel Warren, Esq., Q.C., D.C.L. "TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. "May it please your Majesty, " We, your dutiful and devoted subjects, the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of the borough of Kingston-upon- Hull, humbly approach your Majesty to express our ardent loyalty, and the pride and exultation with which, ou this auspicious occasion, we hail the appearance amongst us of our beloved Queen, and her Royal Consort and children. " At any time would a visit from your Majesty to this borough be a source of high gratification to all your loyal subjects within it, but more especially is it so at a time when your Majesty's arms, in conjunction with those of your allies, have been blessed with most signal success. "The existence of our town can bo traced to a very re mote period; and it has, with its inhabitants, from time to time, been honoured with special manifestations of Royal favour. The port with which it is connected, having be come, as early as the reign of your Majesty's famous pre decessor King Richard 1., the eg.th of importance in the kingdom, subsequently attract from its peculiar advan tage of position, the notice of your Majesty's great prede cessor King Edward 1., who changed its original name, honoured it with its present royal appellation of King's Town-upon-Hull ; shortly afterwards created it a free borough, with many important privileges, and also con ferred upon it the distinction, more than once, of a Royal visit, towards the close of his long and glorious reign. "Since that period, this borough (which, in the year 1440, was constituted a county of itself), has been several times similarly distinguished by your Majesty's royal pre decessors, one of whom, King Henry the Eighth, paid it two visits, each of several days' duration, in the year 1541, presenting to the mayor (on one of these occasions) the sword which he himself then wore. The mayor being then already authorised by acharter of one of your royal predecessors (King Henry the Sixth) to have a sword borne erect before him, in the name of the Sovereign, when out of the' oyal presence. " Upwards of two centuries have now elapsed since this borough received a royal visit ; this of your Majesty at the commencement of the eighteenth year of your prosperous and happy reign, being the first that, has been paid to it by a Queen of England. So signal au event will constitute henceforth the brightest among those which our annals record. With whatever splendour your Majesty has been, or may be, received elsewhere in your dominions, suffer us •to assure your Majesty that we will yield to none of our fellow-subjects in fervent love and loyalty to your Majesty, and in gratitude for the memorable distinction which you have been pleased this day to confer upon us. " We trust that your Majesty will be pleased with such indications as you may see of our persevering efforts to dovelope to the utmost those great local advantages which constitute the claim of this port to rank high iu mercantile and maritime importance. We venture to remind your Majesty, that through the favour of your illustrious grand father, King George 111., those extensive walls and moats which had been constructed for warlike purposes several centuries before, and which extended from the river Hull to the Humber, were removed, in order that on their site might be constructed (happily more in accordance with the spirit and requirements of the times) those convenient and capacious docks now constituting the distinctive character of this important eastern seaport, which now ranks the third in the United Kingdom, being next to London and Liverpool in the amount of customs received. " Wherever your Majesty moves you are hailed, as here, by the enthusiastic acclamations of your subjects, whojhave always seen everythin g to love and revere in your Ma jesty's personal character, and behold in you her whom God has set to rule over one of the greatest empires upon earth ; your sceptre a sceptre of mercy and love, an your throne fixed in the affections of your people so immovably that it remained firm whilst many other thrones appeared insecure. " We believe that no Sovereign ever sat on the throne of these realms more distinguished than your Majesty by a personal and ever watchful interest in the welfare of every class of your subjects, and more anxious to secure to all, without any distinction, the fullest participation in the blessings of civil awl religious liberty afforded by our in comparable institutions. " We humbly supplicate Almighty God, to whom the de vout prayers of the nation constantly ascend on behalf of your Majesty and your Royal Consort and family, that He, whose authority you have, may vouchsafe to your Majesty a long continuance of that favour and protection with which He has hitherto so evidently blessed your Majesty, and in you your happy people ; long preserving to your Majesty and your Royal Consort and family the unruffled serenity of your private life, and so lightening the heavy pressure of your public cares, by the unwavering love of your Royal family, and devotion of your loyal people ; and we shall never cease to pray that after you have done His will upon earth, you may receive from the King of kings a crown of glory that fadeth not away. " Given under the common seal of our corporation, this 6th day of October, in the 18th year of the reign of your Majesty, and in the year of our Lord, 1854." " TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE. " May it please your Royal Highness. 1 " We, the mayor, aldermen, and burgessesof the borough of Kingston-upon-Hull, most respectfully and cordially greet your Royal Highness, as the Consort of our beloved Queen, and offer you a hearty welcome to this loyal and ancient borough. It cannot, we trust, but afford satisfac tion to your Royal Highness to feel that you have long ago acquired the admiration, confidence, and affection of the whole nation, so benignantly ruled over by our gracious Queen. " A visit from her Majesty and you, her Royal Consort, to this borough, would at all times be the source of high gratification to the inhabitants, but the more especially is it so at a time when her Majesty's arms, in conjunction with those of her allies, have been blest with signal success. " The personal character and conduct of your Royal Highness may indeed well endear you, alike to her Majesty, to your august family, and to all her Majesty's subjects throughout the world. Her Majesty's alliance with a prince of your ancient and renowned house was, of itself, a subject of national rejoicing; and we do but express the universal feeling of the country in acknowledging the supreme discretion which your Royal Highness has mani fested on all occasions, and that profound appreciation of the national character, and of the spirit of this enlightened age, which give you an enduring hold upon the respect and affection of this country, and also of every civilised com munity. While a zealous and discriminating friend of scholarship and philosophy, you have ever been foremost in advancing the cause of practical philanthropy, as based upon the hallowed and hallowing principles of morality and religion. " To the persevering energy and sagacity of your Royal Highness we were mainly indebted for that transcendant wonder of our age, the Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations, which, while it charmed and instructed all classes in our own counatlrtyitotopuainnextote inntatuwitrthyouLpaernatlleerlpri enterprise u n ou in r history, also at to us the eyes of every other civilised nation, giving PATRIOTIC FUND.-THE ROYAL COMMISSION.

(Signed) NEWCASTLE. PATRIOTIC FUND. NOTICE. The offices of the Royal Commissioners of the " Patriotic Fund" are, for the present, at No. 16 a, Great George street, corner of Parliament•street, Westminster. The hours' of attendance will be from 11 a.m. till 4 p.m., daily. The " Commissioners in Aid " of the " Patriotic Fund" are earnestly requested, without further notice, to take immediate steps for giving publicity, within their several jurisdictions, to the Royal Commission, in order that Local Committees be formed wherever practicable with the least possible delay. " Local Committees" will, according to their discretion, obtain contributions to the " Patriotic Fund," either by - public meetings establishing subscription lists, or other wise. The acknowledgment of individual donations, where obtained through the " Commissioners in Aid," or by "Local Committees," must, in all cases, to avoid error and expense, bo left exclusively to the " Local Commit tees." Local Committees aro requested lo make up their first subscription lists or accounts in or before the first week in December next, and to remit the amounts in or before the following week by drafts payable to the "Patriotic Fund," crossed " Bank of England," to the Secretaries of the Commission, or direct to the Bank of England. Total amounts only, as transmitted by Local Commit. tees, will be acknowledged at fixed periods in two London daily newspapers. Donations, subscriptions, and contributions to the " Pa triotic Fund," other than those paidito Local Committees, will be received by the Secretaries at the offices of the Royal Commission as above, at the Bank of England, and by all London bankers. Acknowledgments of the receipt will appear, from time to time, in the London papers above mentioned ; but it is hoped, that no separate receipts or acknowledgments will be required from the honorary secretaries, whose duties will bo otherwise sufficiently laborious. The Great Northern Company have set to work the engine at Torksey to pump water out of the Trent into the Fosdyke. The consequence is that the water in the Foss has been raised several inches, and the stream has been rendered more wholesome. Instead of being still and stagnant, the water now flows through Lincoln, though slowly,—Lincoln Mercury. The Ayr Advertiser has a letter from a corporal in the 42d Highlanders : The enemy opened a deadly fire, which killed a large number of our troops before we got round the burning villages. After clearing the houses we had to cross the river, the troops dashing in up to the waist in water. On gaining the opposite bank we weregreatly scattered, neither marciiing in line nor column. Very soon after, however, we formed in line and advanced. The 77th was in front, but could not advance in the face of the deadly fire pouring down on them from the heights. Our comrmender then 'came up, crying " Come 'up, Highlanders ;". and on we went up past the .77th, and up the hill at the charge, our General at our head, and we did not stop until we cleared the hill. When we reached the top we were met by a Russian regiment in square, which we speedily routed ; but our cavalry and artillery not getting through -the river in time prevented our completely, destroying them. some of the regi ments lost their colours and retook them again, Ro you may guess it was very close work. 'The French fought like tigers. Some of them slung their muskets over their shoulders and swam across the. river. A. battle field is truly a horrid place. We have no tents, and are obliged to lie dowa amid the dead and dying. One of the 9311 Highlanders writes in the Plymouth, Journal : The enemy soon opened fire, and I must confess I felt ' my heart leap te my mouth as I saw a nine pound shot alight withil a few feet of me. We took ground to the left then, near the village we had a river to cross. We halted then before the river. Sir Colin Camp bell gave the word to advance, and we splashed through the river, which was three feet deep, and mounted the bill under a heavy cannonade, and cross fire of musketry. There was a regiment in advance, the 77th, I think. They would not go up, and we broke through them, and charged up the hill. The balls flew about like bail.. When I saw two men next to me fall (one was shot through the head, and the other in the breast), I thought we should never M up. Sir C. Campbell cried, "Hurrah for Scotland." The sight of the kilt and feather bonnets was too much, and when we got to the top we opened a fire upon them which made them drop like crows, and made them run for their lives. Thus ended our first day's fight. In the Glasgow Mail is a-letter from a private (42d Highlanders) : I went out to the battle field the day after the battle to look around me, but I will never do so again as long as I live if I can avoid it. You could not go a yard for miles round but you would see men on the ground 'with heads off, arms and legs off, and some cut through alto gether : ia made my heart sick for the rest of the day. Horses, knapsacks, firelocks, swords, and big guns. 0, my God ! what an awful sight ! Thousands dead and dying and covered with blood. Another of the 42d, whose letter is in the Edinburgh Courant, writes : Sir Corm Campbell called out to us, "Come on, Forty second !" but we did not require any coaxing on, as we made our way up the steep hill, driving them before us, their shots whistling about our ears like hail, we, in re• turn, making ours tell upon them. Every one who saw our rcgiasent advancing thought that wo would be cut off to a man ; but, instead of that, we were the means of saving two other regiments on our right, on whom the Russians were making some havoc. We let drive at them in grand order, and, on seeing our determined front, and thinking they were going to be attacked by cavalry, they turned about and fled in confusion, making a running fire, we still advancing, and firing into them in grand style. We got orders to cease firing several times, but of no avail, for as long as we thought they were within reach of our guns we peppered it into them. The Caledonian Mercury hae a letter from a soldier in Sir Colin Campbell's brigade, who writes : After the battle, Lord Raglan, the Duke of Cam bridge, and Sir Colin Campbell, the General of our bri gade, with all the staff, came up to our regiment, and hated in front of the colours, which were unfurled, and complimented the regiment in a very gratifying manner, and said that we would be particularly mentioned in the Government despatches. The Duke also did us justice. Sir Colin Campbell was fairly overjoyed with his High land brigade. He rode forward to Lord Raglan, and said that as he had been kind to him from his boyhood, that he wished to ask bun one favour, and that was, that he would allow him to wear one of our feather bon.; nets, which request was granted him on the spot. Our! Colonel, Cameron, declared afterwards that he did not' know till then that he had such a regiment. The Chelmsford Chronicle has a letter from a private of the 7th Fusiliers : I was tired wth carrying a load on. my back before I got into the fight, but after I got through the river and into the fight I did not feel the load at all, for I looked over my shoulder to see if I bad it on ply back, for it felt as if I had nothing on,,and it was safe. A sergeant of the 19th Regiment writes : The light division advanced under a eery heavy fire. Shot, shell, grape, and canister poured down upon us ; as good a simile as I can give is throwing a handful of peas at a - few men, the grape came amongst tts so quickJ I was with our colours ; Ensign Stockwell fell dead, and Sergeant Hargraves wounded;; 'one officer and two set , geants escaped, that is, 1 and Sergeant Barmon. We had two officers and three sergeanti escorting the colours! God only knows how I escaped, men on each side falling by two and three at a.time. I had one narrow escape—a rifle or musket ball went through my cap, just brushing my hair. The Russians made a good stand for the second battery.—Nottinghans Review. A private in the Royal Artillery describing the retreat of the enemy, says : The Russians fought well, and made a beautiful re treat, and in good order too. They are not such poor soldiers as the papers represent them to be ; but we think the Russian commander 'had his picked troops hero, for they stood well, and have made gietat havod amongst the British. The 7th Fusiliers lost their colours, and the Russians got hold of them too, but the 79th c harged them, and they charged them three timed before they succeeded in getting them back. The 7th Fusiliers were cut up tremendously by the Russian bat teries. They fired nothing but shell. It was a stron g and tremendous fight, all the French, English, and Russian artillery firing shell at once, close to one another, and the line and cavalry charging all at one time. It began at one o'clock, and all wad over at fone,Ao I will leuve you to form some idea what it was. We took a Russian general prisoner. He said they did not think the English were coming against them at first, but when they knew, they said they must do their best. They had orders to fire into the English as much as 'their position would allow. We have some more Russian prisoners. They are to go to Constantinople with the sick and wounded. All the women are gone home ; there was a large steamer full of them. What we have lost up here has not disheartened us a bit, and has not caused any giving way in our spirits, but has put fresh courage in us. Lord Raglan gave tho artillery great praise. The horses charged well, and stood the fire capitally. The, artillery only lost 35 and th ree officers. The Russians' made a charge over a bridge, which they intended to de, stroy as soon as they got over, so that we could not get after them, 'but to their great surprise they found us over nearly as soon as they. They are big men, most of them, and some of their dresses are rather curious. The Russian artillery had great poles stuck up at every 100 yards. to mark the ranges, so that as soon as we got inside these poles we were within fire, and they directly opened on us. They had all the charges for different ranges ready without elevating, so it was a wide-awake move. They load the cartridge and shell all at once, the shell being fastened to the car tridge with glue. This was done for quickness. I will give the Russian Artillery credit for their performance. I could go into a detail of the action, and the strange scenes, sights, and vicissitudes of an action like this, and of a war campaign, that would fill a newspaper, but suf fice it to say that we and the French are in good cheer. We came out to overthrow the enemy, and overthrow them we will. They have not the Turks to deal with now, but the Lions and Eagles. W e ge t pl en ty t o ea t and drink, and tobacco ; so far that is all we want. The Nottingham Journal has the following letter from an officer of the 33d Regiment : My dear Father,—We have fought and conquered. I am, thank God, alive, but not so sound as I could wish, having been wounded through the thigh by a musket shot ; but it is not a dangerous one, and the doc tor tells me I shall " be all right again very soon, and my leg will not be cut off this time." The game began on the river Alma, where the enemy had an immensely strong entrenched camp on the opposite bank, with several heavy batteries, which opened upon us as soon as we got within range ; their gunnery practice was very good. The light division was in front, and we were ordered to lie down whilst our artillery gave them some pills, and the shells and shot whistled through us right and left. Ia our front, between us and the river (No. 2) was a vineyard (No. 1), and immediately on the opposite side a steep bank ; on the top the foe was posted some what thus— 3 4 5 2 After our artillery had played upon them for some time, General Browne rode up to us and said, "Now lade, a gallant push, and across." We advanced under a most galling fire, which made many a gap in our line ; but we dashed over, and formed under the bank (3), but the rascals who were in skirmishing order on the top (4) pitched into us from above, so we dashed at them and drove them back : bat not having any support, we were forced to retire for a short distance until the Guards came up and charged up the hill (4). We rallied, an d the colonel rode up to me and said there was no One to take the colours ; three officers in succession had been advanced. shot down whilst carrying them, namely, G--, s and_ t _ rem th e e nd o o tte s r (..., , s). musketry, ve again round I i s - 13 e o d t , and M--, the latter was dead, and the others w A ' li t i o e s fi k re on w e a a g n i d m Q vr and grape from the batteries received my wound, but as I thouol was here that I much worse off I tied my handkerchiefthou; ht I could not be still held my colours, and kept round my leg, We dashed on and. drove them up to see the fun out. After all was over, I found completely from the field. A bullet had passed through the sleeve to my elbow, another through of my coat close my great coat, whic h the skirt, and one through Vial slung across my shoulder. Under an impression that there is yet ample time for • carrying out further successful enterprises, much sur prise has been created at the probability that at an early period the whole fleet will return to the English coast. But such a step is absolutely necessary now that the boisterous weather has set in, the more especially so with - respect to the large ships, to conduct which at the pre- • sent time to the vicinity of Cronstadt would endanger their safety, and might possibly result in great damage to many, if not in the loss of some of them. But, admitting that Cronstadt were reached by the fleet without having sustained any injury, it could not be successfully attacked without the co operation of a large body of troops. To approach within 500 yards of the forts would be no ea s y task, and, ere our ships could get sufficiently near to produce by their broadsides any effect on the granite batteries, the chances are that they would be severely crippled by the cross fire of the large number of guns that would be brought to bear upon them as they proceeded one by one up the narrow channel which • leads to the harbour. Hence it has been deemed advisable to defer until the ensuing year the bombardment either of Hel singfors or Cronstadt. By that time a sufficient number of land forces will be at band to assist-in the demolition• of these two strongholds of the enemy, to be followed by the capture of the whole of the ships now lying in their harbours. The main body of the fleet will not leave the Baltic before the possibility of the Russian ships coming out into the open sea is precluded by natural causes. At Sweaborg the ice is beginning to form in -shore, at Cronstadt it will do so in the course of ano th er 'fort night, and, before the end of the month it will have accumulated sufficiently to prevent the egress, from either of those ports, of the naval forces of the Russians. During the present campaign much has, in reality, been accomplished. The Czar has been deeply humi dated by he fall of Bomarsund, the fortifications of which occupied several years in their construction, at an expense of six millions of money ; he has caused the forts at Hango to be razed to the ground, in order, it• would appear, to spare the allies the trouble of doing so., The coasting trade in the Baltic has been completely, stopped by the efficient blockade of the various ports. These are the results of the first year's campaign, to be followed up in Use ensuing season by operations on a, much greater scale. In my despatch of the 26th ult. I gave in detail tlia daily movements, &c., of the fleet up to the previous evening. In continuation lam enabled to furnish the following - intelligence. On the 25th ult. a court-martial assembled on beard the Neptune, 120, which was attended by the captains and - commanders of the various ships, for the trial of Mr. J. H. Glover, the senior lieutenant of the steam sloop Rosamond, on the following charge : " For having, on the afternoon of the 21st of August, when engaged in conversation with Mr. Lyttleton, the surgeon, laid hold of his arm, saving, he would pull Mr. Lyttleton's tongue out by its roots and cleave him to the ground, or language to that effect, at the same time strik ing Mr. Lyttleton in the face with his hand." The investigation of the case occupied a considerable portion of the day. At its close the Court delivered the following sentence : " Having carefully and deliberately weighed and con sidered the evidence brought forward in support of the charge, and also what the prisoner had to offer in his own behalf, and having, further, ♦ery maturely considered the whole, the Court is of opinion that the charge is proved ; bat, in consideration of the provocation given, do only adjudge him the said Lieutenant J. H. Glover to be slightly admonished, and he is hereby slightly admonished accordingly. " The Court is further of opinion that the conduct of the prisoner, in comp]ying with the `printed instructions' and offering au ample apology, has been highly honourable, and the conduct of the prosecutor extremely vexatious and reprehensible in not accepting that apology." Sept.'27.--At 6 a.m: the van squadron, under the ord?rs of Rear-Admiral Plumridge, sent aloft topgallant masts and yards. At S a.m. the Neptune, 120, St. George, 120, Prince Regent, 90, and Monarch, 84, shortened in cable, and at 9 a.m. weighed, the Neptune first, St. George second, the Monarch third. The Prince Regent fuuled her anchor, and was, consequently, consi derithly behind the other ships in parting company with the fleet. The wind blowing fresh, then left the anchorage off Nargen under reefed topsails and courses. The English steamers Driver and Hecla, the French. steamers Phlegethon and Asmod4e, got up steam and accompanied Rear-4dmiral Plumridge's squadron for the purpose of towing the sailing ships when neces sary to do so. In the event of the ships parting com pany from stress of weather or other causes, they were ordered to rendezvous first off Ostengen Lighthouse, situated on the north-eastern point of the Island of Gott land ; secondly, of Hammer Light, .Bornholin ; and thirdly, at Kiel, Holstein, at which last port they will remain for a short time prior to their departure for Spitbead. , - The steam-frigates cruising in the Gulf of Finland to the eastward of Revel were recalled by signal. The Dragon hove in sight at 9 a.m. and anchored off Nar gen, having in the meantime been relieved by the Ma gicienne. The steam-corvette Cruiser was ordered to get up steam, and subsequently parted company with the fleet, proceeding-to the westward through the south channel. Her destination was supposed to be the Gulf of Bothnia. Sept. 28,—A dense fog came on last evening, and continued until noon of to-day, precluding all communi cation by signal or otherwise between the respective ships. On its clearing away, the Euryalus, 50, Captain G. Ramsey, was ordered to prepare for sailing, taking under her orders the Arrogant, 46, Captain Yelverton, and Desperate, 8, Capt. E. T. C. D'Eyncourt. They sailed to the westward on the forenoon of the 29th, to cruise off the Island of Dago. Sept. 30.—The Imperieuse, 50, Captain Watson, anchored off Nargen at 10 a.m., followed by the Dra gon, 6, Captain Wilcox. A strong breeze came on from W.S.W. ; all boats were recalled by signal, and com munication between the ships forbidden until further orders. By 9 p.m. the force of the wind had increased considerably- 7 4E1e ships riding by one and two anchors, veering cable to 150 fathoms on the one and 90 fathoms on the other anchor. The barometer fell to 29'300. fly tnidnight it blew a strong gale, accompanied with heavy rain. Oct. 1.--The wind has suddenly shifted to the north ward and decreased in foroe. By noon it again in creased, its direction being west by north. Towards the close of the day, the temperature became much re duced—the thermometer indicating 42 degrees (Fahren heit), and the appearance of the sky betokening `a fall of t,now or sleet. Oct. 2.—The gale continued up to noon to day, but towards evening became Moderate. The Basilisk steam sloop, Captain the Hon F. Egerton, arrived from Dantzic at 10 a.m., bringing the overland mail and 40 live bul locks for the fleet. When off the Island of Faro, on the 30th ult. she spoke the squadion of sailing ships under the orders of Rear-Admiral Plumridge. The steam-gunboat Wrangle was ordered to leave for Eng land to-day. but has been detained by stress of weather. The Magicienne, 16, Captain Thomas Fisher, anchored off Nargen in the afternoon. The Russian ships in the harbour of Revel have struck their topmasts, and are dismantled for the winter season. Mr. Le Grand, surgeon of the Duke of Wellington, has been appointed by the Commander-in-Chief Acting- Deputy-Medical Inspector of the Baltic fleet. P. 5... P Oct. 3.—The wind has gradually increased during the night ; a moderate breeze is blowing. The steam gun-boat Wrangler parted company with the fleet at 6 a.m., en route for England. The Bulldog, Captain W. H. Hall, will leave at noon for Dantzic; with the overland snail. The Locust steamer was despatched at 8 a.m. on particular service. The fleet will proceed to Bare Sound in a day or two. HAMBURG.IOCT. 10.—The Bulldog steam -ship, which arrived at Dantzic on the Bth inst., left the English fleet, now consisting entirely of steam paddle and screw vessels at Nargen, preparing to leave for better anchor. age at Bar Sound and Ledsund. The weather had been very stormy during tke late period of their cru ise off inst., the Nargen. Jemappes had arrived Tile 'French line-of-battle -ship in Wino Sound, and other ships were equally expected under there from the French fleet.

AN ENTHUSIASTIC SUUGEOL—A private letter from the East states that Dr. R. J. Mackenzie, of Edinburgh was so much attracted by the prospects of an active campaign that he resigned a first-rate practice and went out to Turkey, furnished by the Earl of Aberdeeivivith an introductory letter to Lord Raglan, who at once ap pointed him a temporary army surgeon, and atta ch ed _ him to the 79th Highlanders.
