THE LATE STORM. STEAMER—DREADFUL SITUATION—LOSS OF LIVES. The Ardincaple steam packet, which plies between Newcastle and Edinburgh, sailed from Leith harbour on the morning of Sunday last, about two o'clock. Having rounded St. Abb's Head, the wind, which was quite fair, increased to a most tremendous gale, such as had not been seen upon this coast for upwards of thirty ye ire. Having got up nearly as far as Bambro' Castle, about twelve o'clock—a distance of upwards of seventy miles, which she had run in about ten hours, a most dreadful sea struck her upon the larboard quarter, and falling into the waist, made a clean sweep of every thing off the deck, tore away the whole of the bulwark staunchions and paddles casing on the starboard side, and, we lament to add, carried overboard Captain M'Leod, the steward's daughter, a soldier, and two other passengers, one of them a young woman, and a middle aged man. Sese ral other persons were overboard, hut contrived to regain the vessel. She immediately righted, but the rigging, which was fastened to the starboard bulwark, and which supported the chimney and mainmast, having been thus carried away, they were left in a very to.tering condition. Both anchcrs were immediately let go, and she was brought up. Another sea then struck her, and the chimney and mainmast then went over the side, but fortunately no person was hurt by the fall. Every exertion was then made to clear away the wreck, and, as the agent to Lord Crewe's trustees says, in a letter to the agent here, "she bravely rode in the gale till near one o'clock the next morning;" but in such a sea that 'has seldom or never been seen on this coast. Too much praise cannot be given to a party of sailors, who were on board as passengers, and to Mr. Pearson, late the Captain of the King of the Netherlands, who then took the command. The vessel was perfectly tight, but from all the sky-lights on deck being broken in, and the engine. house completely washed away, a great deal of water necessarily got into the vessel. Having, however, an excerent copper pump on board, the sailors and crew soon got the better of the water, and then, as before stated, rode till near one o'clock on Monday morning, a period of nearly thirteen hours, in that most tremendous sea. During the day, two of the crew lowered down the stern boat, and jumped into ger, when the painter broke, and in a moment they were swallowed up by the raging element. About one o'clock she was struck by another most tremendous sea, when she parted from WI) her anchors, both chain cables having broken, and it was then momentarily expected she would drive ashore. Having, however, fortunately cast her head to the south ward, anti the wind having changed a little, some sail was immediately made upon her, and she began to edge off a little ; but in a short time the sails were blown to ribbons. Very fortunately there were some large tarpau lins, which had been used to cover the baggage upon deck, and with these they contrived to make a sail, and they had the satisfaction to find she was going off the land with them. They soon cleared her of the water she bad shipped, and steered immediately for a good anchorage under the lee of the Fern Islands, where they saw several vessels riding in smooth water, and among the rest a revenue cutter (supposed to be the Mermaid), and, notwithstanding guns were fired from the Ar dincaple, the bell rung, and every exertion made, they inhumanly took no notice of the vessel, but suffered her to pass them within a very short distance (not more than 300 yards). Indeed, she was in their view the whole of the preceding day, when at anchor, but a cod smack which was riding inside the cutter, having heard the signals, immediately slipped her cables, and came down to their assistance. About five o'clock they were taken in tow by the smack, and the passengers were removed into her for safety. She was then towed up by the smack to Shields, where she got into the harbour next morning. The passengers were all landed in the evening by a boat from Culiercoats, who, seeing her distress, gallantly put off at the hazard of their lives to her assistance. The vessel has suffered comparatively little in her bud, not having been under the necessity of being pumped out since she arrived, but nearly everything on deck was carried away. Mr. Valentine Ward communicates the following par ticulars, given him by a passenger on board We left Leith on the morning of Sunday the Ist instant, about one or two o'clock, having been prevented from sailing on Saturday evening, as was intended, by the strong gale and heavy swell. Ac the time we left the harbour, both had greatly subsided, and we sailed pleasantly to the Bass Rock with a fine breeze N. by N.E , having on board ten grown up females, and 16 or 17 males, besides two children, the captain and crew. When opposite Dunbar, the wind was very fresh, mid gradually increased till we came to Abb's Head, when it blew a perfect hurricane. The vessel drifted towards the land till it came between Holy Island and Bemborough Castle, bearing about S., when, the waves rolling mountains high, she was wrapt in a sea astern, and thrown upon her beam ends! some time she lay upon her ride, the sea dashing the window to pieces, and pouring in torrents into the cabin. Many of the passengers in the cabin were severely hurt by the furniture rolling upon them, particu larly a Mr. N., whose head was severely cut, three of his ribs broken, and one of his hips greatly injured. " When the sea first struck the vessel, seven persons were washed overboard. The Captain, the stewardess, a soldier, and a gentleman, name unknown. These were all lost. The other three got on board again, one of whom, Captain Pearson, took charge of the vessel, the engine of which was rendered completely useless. When she righted, the beat was got out, with the intention, if possible, of landing the passengers, but it soon swamped. Her headrope not breaking, she was got up again. After recovering her, two of the crew went aboard, intending, if possible, to keep her afloat, by directing her head to wards the waves. A sudden throw of the sea broke her adrift, and after drifting a little way towards land, the two brave men were seen shaking la ands, and immedi ately one of them was washed out of the boat; the other soon after sunk in the mighty waters. After getting the head of the Ardincaple to the wind both her anchors were dropped, that, if possible, she might outride the storm. In about half an hour one of the cables snapped, after which she rode by one cable for ten or eleven hours. Daring this memorably dreadful night the passengers and crew were, for the most part, engaged either at the pump, or in casting the cargo overboard, in order to lighten the vessel. A considera ble part of the time, however, was employed by one of the number (the Rev. J. P. Haswell) in exhorting and praying with his fellow-sufferers, directing them to th a t Saviour who is a hiding place from th storm and a covert front the tempest. Many were the vows then made, and, apparently, earnest the petitions offered at the throne of grace, " At one o'clock on Monday morning a tremendous sea struck the vessel, and broke her away from her remain ing anchor, and carried away her mainmast by the board. By this shock another female was thrown overboard and perished; name unknown ! A child also at this time fell into the sea, but was recovered by her watchful and anxious mother. Soon afterwards the funnel fell over board, doing much less damage than was apprehended. Captain Pearson caused a temporary sail to be hoisted, and by a remarkable Providence, at that moment the wind veered round to the N.W. All rejoiced exceedingly that now they might be kept from the shore on which they were previously in danger of being wrecked. " The Captain bore away, that, if possible, he might make the Fern Islands, and enter one of the harbours, or run her :shore. Burn, having little management of the vessel, these projects were both impracticable, and be had no alternative but to bear away before the wind, in hope that a gracious Providence might bring some other vessel, to our aid ! About daybreak we were discovered by the Renown, a London fishing smack, which, after trying in vain to recover her own anchor, slipped her cable, and making all sail, came up to us at near seven o'clock. Sh e was engaged to tow the Ardincaple into the nearest har bour, and with that intention the two vessels] were fastened together by a strong cable rope. In about twenty minutes the rope broke, and after another trial it broke again, and became quite useless. " It now became necessary to take all the passengers ?sat of the Ardincaple into the boat of the fishing smack, an doing which one lady fell overboard, but was again re covered. Captein Pearson and the crew remained on hoard the Ardincaple, the Renown keeping near her. In about an hour, another smack, the Favourite, came near, anti took the Ardincapl e in tow with a chain cable- The Captain of the Renown wished still to keep company with the Ardincaple, but was prevail e d upon to bear away to wards Shields. We arrived a t t h e b ar about 4, o'clocl in the afternoon, but were unable to proceed. No att e ne tion being paid to our signals of distress, we returned back, and by the )aelp of a boat which came out front Cullercoats, were landed at Hartley Baits about 7 o'clock in the evening. The sailors from the Canada, which had been wrecked, were of essential service to us ; and, but for their help, it is not likely that any of the persons am board the Ardincaplc could have been saved. All the Captains and sailors behaved well, with the exception of one sailor, who was drunk the whole time . A few hints are all that will be needful to those whom the seafaring part of this tragical narrative may more particularly concern. Practical questions will naturally occur to them concerning the furniture of the cabin being loose—the sieamer being so poorly supplied with cables, sails, etc,--and the inattention to the signals of &Wes! at the bar of Shields ;—and, perhaps most of all, why the life boat was not sent out from Holy Island ? MILFORD HAVEN. —A PLEASURE YACHT LOST. Friday night, as the pleasure yacht Phccbe, of Dublin, was off Milford Haven, she capsized, when all on board, con sisting of Mr. and Mrs. Hargrave, of this city, with five or six children and three seamen, all met with a watery grave. Mr. Hargrave was on a visit to some property in the south of Ireland, in the yacht, when a heavy gale came on and drove her over to Milford, where the lament able accident occurred. His eldest daughter and some of the family, who were not on board, are in the greatest distress from this most melancholy event. —Dublin Times. STOCKPORT.-Our river was up to an immense height. The storm was general, and much damage done to the corn and second crops of hay grass and clover, as well as potatoes. I❑ Sale, south cast of the Mersey, the embank ment gave way, opening a chasm of 70 yards along the side of the river, inundating about 200 acres of meadow, corn, and potatoe lands; of the last, out of 4 or 5 fi Ids about 25 to 30 acres, about one-half are totally swept away, leaving nothing but the bare grounds. The margins of the meadows are covered with the second crops of hay and clover, lying in ridges like drifted snow ; and at the ferry-house the inmates had to retreat to the top stories to preserve their lives. What the amount of damage may be to the owners it is hard to tell, but the desolation appears ruinous to look on. In one instance, in the Vale of Tintwistle, so dreadful was the hurricane, and so immediate its inundating effects, that the husband had only just time to take his wife from their bed, whom he conveyed in his arms a considerable distance through the storm, both in their night clothes, for more secure pro tection.--:-Stockport Advertiser. SHEFFIRLD•-The farmers were in the midst of barley harvest, and some very fine crops having been cut down, were ❑early ready for carrying, but the wind and rain have injured the barley, particularly the wind, which cut off many of the ears whilst it stood in stack in the fields. Since the storm, the general temperature has been like that of the latter part of autumn rather than of summer. Sheffield Courant. SUNDERLAND.-Thursday the Thomas Burrow, Davy son, from Tortola, with sugar, was making for Lan caster, when she ran on a sand bank a few miles below Sunderland, and almost immediately went on her beam ends. At the moment she struck the Captain ra❑ down into the cabin to save the papers, but unfortunately lost his life, for ere he could regain the deck he was drowned. The Thomas Burrow was a swift sailing good vessel, and the captain was remarkably steady, and much esteemed by his crew and acquaintance. He had been fifty-five voyages to the West Indies previously, as master of a vessel, and had crossed the Atantic one hundred and ten times ! The remainder of the crew were saved. The sloop Gordon, of Kirkudbright, from Dutnfries for Liver pool, with cotton, was observed beating about on the Lancashire coast, when the captain was washed overboard by a heavy sea and drowned ; his name was John McKen zie. The vessel struck on the banks at Blackpool in the afternoon, and the crew were compelled to lash themselves to the rigging to save their lives. In this state of anxiety they remained until the tide had receded sufficiently to permit their escape. The vessel became a total wreck. SCARBOROUGH, ADC. 31.—A fishing cob!e sunk ; crew drowned. The Diana, in coming for the harbour, ran against the outward pier, and instantly sunk; crew saved. The wreck has since floated on the beach. The Lively Increase, from Stockton, went ashore on the beach, south of the Spaw ; crew saved by the life-boat; ♦essel expected to he a wreck. The Lurk, from Sunder land for Bridlington, on shore on Filey Sand, in a dan gerous situation ; crew saved. There is also a vessel on shore under Speeton Cliffs. Sept. I.—The wreck of a schooner was washed upon Gristhorpe Sand, marked on the stern " Wilna, of Brancaster, W. Cooke, master." This morning, the Juno, from Shields, went on shore at Filey, where she is likely to be wrecked; crew saved. The fishing boats Lion, Rambler, Two Friends, and Union, of Yarmouth, and the yawl Friends' Adventure, •:Cley, totally wrecked in Filey Bay. WHITBY, Ana. 31.—The Lord Brougham and Smales, from Quebec, in removing up the harbour, struck the bridge; the former sustained much damage. A brig foundered yesterday, and all on board were drowned. From part of the wreck washed up, she appeared to have been the Alfred, of Aberdeen. SEPT. 2.—The Ann and Susannah went on shore at Robin Hood's Bay, and broke up next tide ; crew saved by the exertions of the fishermen ; part of the cargo and stores saved. The Trimmer, of Whitby, a keel, of Sun derland, and the Trafalgar, of Newcastle, are on shore at Staiths, north of this port. Some firkins of butter, and the wreck of a boat, marked " Friends of Wisbeach, George Huet," have been washed on shore at Standon Dale. The Harmony, from London, was blown upon the Lincolnshire coast a complete wreck ; the crew, ten in number, all perished. WIIITEHAVEN.—Saturday two sloops were observed making for the harbour, the tide rushing in with fury, and the surges breaking over the rocks with a deafening noise. One, the Jane and Catherine, of Bangor, coal laden, from Workington, had sprung a leak, and had five feet water in her hold, consequently was unable to prose cute her voyage. In trying to make this harbour, she struck on the outer edge of the nvw pier, very near the Lighthouse, and within a hundred yards of the shore. All efforts to save the vessel were at once abandoned, it being evident she must he sacrificed ; she reeled on the rock, and was left entirely to the fury of the tide and the wind. The next object was to save the lives of the poor fellows on hoard; and with the view of effecting this, a rope was thrown by the spectators on the parapet of the wall over the mast of the vessel, and by this communication the crew were saved, though in landing they were all more or less injured, by being driven against the pier. The head of one ma❑ was seriously cut. In five minutes her timbers and stores were scattered on the surface of the waters, every wave bringing some remnant to shore, and lifting the heavy chests of the seamen as though they had been feathers. The crew were dreadfully exhausted.—The sloop Zfary, of Garliestown, which left this port on Friday, laden with lime, owing to the storm, was un ab:e to prosecute her voyage. The wind drove her with violence towards the piers, the tide just rising, and the water in the harbour inadequate to float her, the wind drove her in, and the crew were compelled to submit to their fate, although destruction threatened them in the attempt. She drove past the new pier safely, but struck on the battlement of the Old Quay with great violence, so that the water rushed in between her beams; yet by the exertions of those on shore she was brought into the harbour. The water which rushed through her open beams bad hurst into her hold, and, communicating with the lime, speedily slacked it, and a thin line of white smoke was visible rising from the cabin. To those ignorant of her cargo this was unaccountable, but in a few minutes the truth was made known. The sloop had combatted the waves, and over which the fury of the storm had teen wreaked in vain, was on fire! She fell a prey to the ele ment of destruction; the thin white smoke, at first scarcely perceptible, soon increased in volume and density, and in five minutes a thick cloud rolled from the sloop, obscuring the opposite shores to the eye of the spectators, and enve loping the view as with a shroud. Here and there a dark form might be traced on the deck, which must have been at that time intensely hot, and when the wind partially removed the misty veil which hung between the spectators and the vessel, the crew might be seen endeavouring to save their clothes and other goods on board. In vain ! the fire increased, and there were no means of allaying the heat of such a material. The crew were at length com pelled to abandon the sloop. The lime continued burning for hours, and finally the water had the effect of swelling the lime; the stern and part of the sides were burst out. She was removed when the tide bad receded, but is a total wreck. ROYAL PROGRESS IN FRANCE. The following is a continuation of the proceedings at tending the visit of the King of the French at Cher• bourg. In The Sun of yesterday we gave the proceed. ings on the 3J inst. The following account is up to the 6th, inclusive, and it will he seen by a paragraph, dated the ith, that Lord Durham has gone up to Pans, which is a contradiction of an article in the Times of this morning, affirming that his Lordship intended to accom pany Donna 3lrria to Lisbon. (From the Herald Correspondent.) CHERBOURG, SEPT. s.—His Majesty the King of the French and his sons the Dukes de Nemours and d'Aumaule, attended by Marshals Soult and Gerard, Ad miral de Rigny, and a brilliant suite, honoured Lord Yarborough with a visit yesterday, on board the Falcon. The King and Queen embarked in the Sphynx French Government steamer, amid the firing of cannon and the cheers of an immense number of persons assembled on shore. His Majesty first sailed round the men-of.war, and then proceeded to pay a visit. to Admiral Mackau on hoard the Atainta frigate, which having inspected, he p r e u c t off in e ved on Adtn gangway ir al' by barge the for N h the Fal c on, Commodore, and who conducted him afc. The Honourable Mrs. Copley (Lord Yarborough's only daughter, married to the brother of Viscountess Howick), Mrs. H. Thorold, and other ladies were in attendance to receive the Queen and the Princesses, but, owing to the heavy swell, her Majesty and her daughter did not quit the steamer. The King expressed himself much pleased and grati fird at the marked attention abown him by the Cora • modore and the Members of the Royal Yacbt Squadron, and spoke in warm terms of attachment to his ‘‘ steady friends," the English, as he was pleased to term tbem. As the weather was squally, which afforded apprehensions that the equinoctial gales bad commenced, the King's stay on board the Falcon was short. His Majesty took no refreshment, but on his departure he placed in Lord Yar borough's hands a small box, which, when opened, was found to contain a most exquisitely executed minature of himself, set in brilliants of the first water, and valued, at least, at 500/. The King, after viewing the Falcon, visited and inspected the French squadron, which, as well as the yachts, were decorated with the colours of the vari ous nations. The Admiral's ship had the French flag at the main, the English at the fore, and the Rear• Admiral's at the mizen. The King and his suite also viewed the breakwater, and examined that stupendous work most minutely. When the Royal Family landed at the port maritime, the squ !droll, including the Falcon, fired a Royal salute. The grand fete given by the town, last evening to their Majesties, at the Bains Louis Phillipe, was upo❑ a most extensive scale : nearly 3,000 persons were present. There was but little intermissio❑ in the dancing till near six o'clock this morning. The Duke de Nemours opened the ball with the Lady of Rear. Admiral Mackau, and the Duke de Joinville danced with Madame Noel Agnes, the lady of the Mayor. All the English at present sojourning here, we under stand, were permitted to enter, even though they had not received cards of invimatiun. _ One of the principal decorations was the French and English flags entrelaces (entwined with each other). During the night, a variety of feux d'artifre were exhis kited on the Montagne du Rollie, but their effect was spoilt by the rain, which descended in torrents. I infinitely regret that I am compelled to send my corn. anunication all round by Paris, bnt the weather continues so boisterous, the equinoctial gales having commenced, that no yachts will sail for Cowes or Portsmouth. lam very apprehensive that some of the information contained in my first letter will be anticipated, in cons quence of its being so long on the road. CHERBOURG, SEPT. 5, 1 P.H.—The King, and the Dukes de Nemours an de Joinville, have just rode through the principal at; is of the to,wn, preparatory to their departure. His M .sty, during his progress, saluted the populace at least fit times, by taking off his cocked bat trimmed with white fringe. He returns to Paris to meet the King and Queen of the Belgians, who are shortly expected on a visit at the Tuileries. We understand that although the Hon. Mrs. Copley was debarred by the weather the honour of presenting the ladies assembled o❑ board the Falcon, when the Queen of the French visited that ship, that the moment she reached the Palace, she caused it to be intimated to Mrs. Copley that she proposed, at that lady's convenience, to receive the ladies in question. Thesummons was inst mtly obeyed, and Mrs. Copley, with great dignity and good breeding, introduced her fair countrywomen to bee Majesty, who received them most graciously. The French Admiral's ship, and the other French men of war in the roads, were most brilliantly illuminated the night before last. The night being dark, the effect was very grand. The Sapphire schooner yacht, Lord Newborough, arrived this morning, after a short but terribly boisterous passage from Cowes. The celebrated General Exceltnans is among the arri vals. His son is a midshipman on board the juhon man of war here. Preparations are now making for the departure of the King and Queen, who are expected to set out to•morrowv, on their returu to Paris, making a detour in their way. His Majesty yesterday visited en detail the Post Mili taire, La Dique, and Forts Queikville and Artois. He ales inspected the fortifications and the different public establishments, and in the evening the Ruyal Family ho noured the theatre with their presence. The Salle du Spectacle, on this occasion, was hung with tri coloured cloth, and the loge appropriated for the King and Queen was very splendidly fitted up, Throughout the day it has blown a violent gale from the north east, accompanied by rain. A pilot boat, with two men, was lost during the night. The wind is as adverse as it ca❑ be for England. The Emerald, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent's yacht, in going out of the bat bour with the Messrs. Conroy on board, ran aground ; fortunately, she sustained no injury. She is fluty i❑ the basin, and cannot sail until the weather moderates. CHERBOURG, Sxrr. 6.—" The voyage de Cherbourg" as the Parisian papers designate the Royal Family's visit to this port, has now been accomplished, and according to the assertions of considerable numbers of the.inhabitants, his Majesty's popularity has been augmented by his sijour in the department of La Manche. The King and his two sons were to sleep last evening at Bayeux ; to day they pass at Caen. The Queen, Princesses, and suite, occupy ing five or six travelling carriages, quitted the Palace of the Prefecture this morning, at nine o'clock, on their way to join his Majesty, who, during his tour always precedes his consort and daughter four and twenty hours. The batteries of the Montagne du Roule, and of the other forts fired a Royal salute when the Queen departed. Apropos a " jun trait" as our neighbours term it, is just nowin circulation of his Majesty's beneficence. A calinonier on , the day of his Majesty's entree, while in the discharge of his duty by assisting at the batteries, had the m i sfortune to shatter his arm and lose an eye by ;ha bursting of a gun, which accident rendered him for ever an invalid. The unfortunate soldier was an inmate in the Hospital de la ,Maritie when the King and his suite inspecaed the establishment. His Majesty, on learning the cir cumstances of the poor man's case, instructed his Private Secretary, Baron Fain, to present the sum of 600 francs, also an annual pension of franc., with the promise of an appointment of his own situation in the arsenal as soon as he should be enabled to under take the du'ies of it. Before the King left he addressed a brief discourse to the Municipal Authorities, in which be promised to give his anxious consideration to the most efficient means by which the prosperity of the place could be promoted. The Queen, on taking farewell this morn. ing, expressed her regret at leaving, and intimated her intention of paying many more visits to Cherbourg before her death. The Earl of Durham, we understand, received the most flattering attentions from the King and his Consort (his Lordship had been introduced to her Majesty, at the Palace of Laeken, two months since, when she was visiting the Queen of the Belgians.) The Noble Earl accompanied the King in his carriage to the fete at the Bains Louis Philippe, on Tuesday; and his Majesty, on the evening preceding his departure, was pleased to say that lie regretted exceedingly that he was not able to accept his Lordship's invitation to a banquet which he (Lord D.) contemplated giving to him (the King) and his Lmily, on account of the business of the State de manding his presence in the capital. The King, before his departure, caused silver and copper in-dais to be struck in commemoration of his visit. They have the inscriptions " Louis Philippe 1., Rui del Francais.—De Rigny, Minister of Marine," on one side ; and on the otraer, " Cherbourg, ISS3." The members of the Royal Yacht Squalion have each received one of the former. It continues to blow bard !writ the north west, so that not a yacht is able to leave. They are, however, all in a state of security. Mr. Tliorold's Coquette has come into the inner basin. Lord Belfast's Waterwitch is lying in the King's basin, about a mile from the town. The French Admiral has offered his Lordship the use of the Government steamer to tow her out, if the wind continue , so contrary. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent's yacht, the Enteral'', is still detained, owing to the state of the weather. She came expressly for Sir John Con roy's sons, and the master of her, Captan Saunders, did iled e n %Emvo o xiii t i:irtnde e i noxttuupohteeai,cpi than 48 oio t 4, o c,usebt b ehthd e l s a uts b Gor s mma e Tw n to: t yshi tgie f in r ,noc o tfani n i eoe r t;u: h :it aa a eoni t rit i idi o yns n ie,:feu ti o itiot ff idirsa:tw N p, rie o lel r sc r iel. • lai, s iaist,n C teeggo a ncieu s ltnteol to lay up for the wint er .

The continuance of strong contrary winds prevented the Noble Earl from sailing in his yacht. EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OW CONTRABAND GOODS IN THE RIVER.-An extensive seizure of smug gled silks was made last week in the river, under very extraonlinary• circumstances. It appears that on Tuesday d l in n g tent a regular Dov er t ra d er, Thomas Allen, last Mr. Cnivers, Tide-surveyor of Cu s t oms , went on alongside Chest e r' s Q uay, Lower mater, l y ing board G Thames-street, which had discharged her cargo on the previousday, and had actually made o u t t h e clear i ng note, when two of his werrnen, happ en i ng to pr i ck thr o ugh the ballast in the sl.ip s hold, ftlt something hard. On removing the ballast, they discovered 32 bales ul French silk, and 37 cartoons of silk tiband s . O n further search they discovered five pieces of foreign manufactured silk under the Captain's and mate's . bedplace s i n t h e ca bi n . The goods, which have been valued at upwards of 4,0001., were sent to the King's warehouse; and the ship, which Las become forfeited, and with her stores valued at 1,0001. more, was sent to the " condemned holt" on Fliday. ARRIVAL of the QUEEN OF PORTU (FURTHER PARTICULARS.) In The Sun of yesterday we gave an account of the preparations which had been made at Portsmouth, by order of his Majesty's Government, to receive Queen Donna Maria on her landing, and we also gave a brief notice of her having landed at the Dock.yard, and being received with military honours. The following are addi tional particulars of this interesting event : PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 8. Strict orders had been given, on the part of the Go vernment, for a minute observance of all the honours due to a Sovereign being paid to the fair chief of the House of Braeanza the moment she presents herself, her title and rank being formally recognised by Great Britain. An official command to that effect, but couched as a request, had been sent down by the Government, and received, as is understood, by the Mayor and Corporation of the Bo• rough, the Port Admiral, and the Collector of the Cus toms. One thing in this communication is peculiarly remarkable ; the consort of Don Pedro, who is now neither Empress nor Queen, gets precedence of his daughter. The following letter from the Home-office was received by the Mayor of Portsmouth on Friday morning, and, in cons-quence of it, a Meting of the Corporation was he'd in the afternoon of that day, when the subjoined addressses to the Empress and the young Queen were agreed to : " Whitehall, Sept. 5. " Sir,—l am directed by Viscount Melbourne to ac quaint you that their Majesties the Duchess of Braganza and the Queen of Portugal are expected to arrive at Portsmouth to-morrow or Saturday, and that the King has beer. pleased to command that the Empress and Queen should be received on their arrival in this country with all the honours usually paid to crowned heads ; and I am to request that every respect and attention may be paid to their Majesties on their landing at Portsmouth. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, " G. LAMB. " The Mayor of Portsmouth." Donna Maria will proceed to Portugal in the Soho, the same bark that brings her to this country, but not before that vessel is fitted up in a style of suitable splendour ; and it will be accompanied by the British steam-frigate Dee, which will al.o be decorated with appropriate em bellishments. Sir Joseph Whatley, one of the Grooms of the Bedchamber in the personal suite of William IV., is now in attendance to wait upon her Most Faithful Majesty the moment she enters the harbour. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY, SEPT. 8, 5 O'CLOCK, P. M I have this moment been assured, on undoubted autho rity, that Sir Joseph Whatley has been the bearer of an autograph letter from their Majesties, inviting the Queen of Portugal and the Duchess of Braganca on a visit to Windsor, and they kill set out for the Castle at an early hour on Tuesday morning next. To. morrow they will each receive addresses from the Mayor and Corporation of this town. In the meantime the kindness of a private friend has enabled me to obtain the subjoined copies of those documents before the ceremony of presentation has taken place : " To her Most Faithful Majesty Donna Maria (la Gloria, Queen of Portugal. " Miy it please your Majesty—We, the Mayor, Alder • men, and Burgesses of the borough of Portsmouth, as faithrul subjects of his Most Gracious Majesty William the Fourth, King of Great Britain and Ireland, partici !) iting in the interest manifested by our Sovereign on behalt of your Majesty and of Portugal, in acknowledging your Majesty's title to the Crown of that kingdom, and in taking the earliest opportunity of entering into the accus tomed relations of peace and amity with your Majesty, beg leave most respectfully to approach your Majesty, to offer our most sincere congratulations on your arrival at Portsmouth, and most especially on the occasion of it, and the glorious events which have recently occurre I. We most cordially felicitate your Majesty on the successful issue of the liberal principles and patriotic exertions which have at length placed your Majesty on the throne of Por tugal ; and we rejoice at the sign it triumph they have ob tained, and at the valour and heroism displayed in so noble and just a cause. .4 We beg leave to offer our earnest wishes for the wel fare of your Majesty and your Majesty's Government, and we trust that, by a firm adherence to just principles, and the remembrance of Constitutional freedom, the prosperity of your Majesty's kingdom will be established, and the bonds of alliance between this country and Portugal more strongly cemented than ever. " Given under our Common Seal, the 6th day of Sept. 1833." " To her Imperial Highness the Duchess of Bragazna. " May it please your Majesty—We, the Mayor, Alder men, and Burgesses of the borough of Portsmouth, desirous of testifying the respect we entertain for your Majesty, on the interesting occasion which has brought your Majesty to England, beg leave respectfully to offer our cordial con gratulatioris on your arrival at Portsmouth, and on the events which have led to it. " We sincerely hope that by the establishment of your illustrious daughter on the throne of Portugal, the welfare and prosperity of that kingdom will be eminently promoted, and that your Majesty may long live to enjoy the high satisfaction which trust result from its being governed by a Princess seeking, by the means of free institutions, the interests and happiness of her subjects. _ _ _ " Given under our Common Seal, the 6th city of Sep tember, 1833." The haste with which I was obliged to dispatch my letter this morning prevented me from giving some details respecting the landing which ought not be omitted. The concourse of spectators assembled on the occasion was very considerable, and the cheering most enthusiatic, while the band of the 9 Ith Regiment played the Constitutional hymn. The young Queen looked both fair and florid, presenting at the same time an appeasance of extraordinary precocity for hr r age. Shs wore a bonnet of dark pink satin, and her silk dress of a brownish colour was in a great measure concealed by an ample shawl. ll,r Majesty on being conducted from the barge took the arm of Sir T. Wil. liams, to whom she bowed with great dignity, but did not enter into conversation with him. On setting her foot for the second time upon British ground she seemed to be overpowered by the warmth of the reception she tact with, and placed her hand upon her heart, while an involuntary sigh escaped her. She soon, however, recta covered her self-possession, and proceeded with a light step and animated countenance along the piece of scarlet cloth which was laid down for her to walk upon, and at the extremity of which the Admiral's carriage was in waiting to take her to his house. The Ex•Ernpress of Brazil, though not an object of so much political interest, was still regarded with earnest attention by all parties who had I.und access to the spot. Both Princesses, after receiving the congratulations of the leading public func tionaries and other distinguished personages, retired to attend divine service, which was performed by one of the domestic chaplains. On their return an intimation was given that a select number of covers should be laid for the Royal table. PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY, SEPT. 9.—The bells of the different churches of tins town, which only tolled yester day to announce the hour of divine service, have been ringing merry peals all this morning, in honour of the royal visitors. Among the distinguished British guests who dinel will the young Queen yesterday, at the table of Sir Thomas Williams, were Sir James Graham and his Lady, Sir Frederick Maitland, Sir Thomas Hardy, and,all the other principal officers of the Admiralty Board at present sojourning here. Sir Thomas Williams, in a short speech, reniarable for point and pertinent allusion, proposed the health of the fair Sovereign of Portugal; and after Count Funchal had returned thanks on her part, her Majesty proposed the health of her faithful and august ally, the King of England. The next toast given was by the Duchess of Br aganza , w h o , w i t h f ervent f ee lin g , proposed the health o f h er M a j esty t h e Queen of England. It is admitted by all w h o were present , t h a t t h e e vening passed off in the m os t d e li g h t f u l manner . The Corporate B o d y , w i t h t h e M a y or at their head, are preparing to go up tit one o'clock with the addresses. I have seen drafts of the answers, and they merely echo the sentiments expressed in the former documents. The answer to the address to the Queen expresses her Majesty's determination to maintain liberal institutions, and govern in a spirit of Constitutional freedom. At the same time her Majesty ascribes the success of her cause to the great exertions made by her august father. Both answers con clude by alluding to the happy coincidence of this day being she anniversary of the Coronation of a Sovereign who is the oldest and most faithful Ally of Portugal. The Duchess of Kent is expected t o come over from t y i o re u t ( g ay' Q lo ue r e t n i' speciale aiidh er purpos e o f illustrious rencive; hut her arrival is not certain. E veryt hi ng is p C a o y w ia e g s in a t v i i r s e it cou to rse th o e f ready for the departure of the Royal party for Windsor at an early hour to-morrow, and suitable ra •• al ngements fur their reception have been made at the Castle. --- LIVERPOOL JOINT STOCK BANK.-At a meeting of the Proprietors of this Bank on Wednesday l as t, the clear profits of the past year were shown to be 20,0001. The business of the Bank appeared to have been increasing, and the accounts gave general satisfaction. The Directors had, out of the above stun, made two half yearly dividends, at the rate of 6 pet• cent. per annum, besides adding considerably to the reserved surplus fund. DUTCH AND HAMBURG PAPERS. THE HAGUE, Sem s.—His Majesty the King has arrived here from the Loo this evening. The Queen is expected in a week. Their Royal Highnesses Prince and Princess Albert of Prussia have left the Loo for Berlin. A letter from Rotterdam says--." We are happy to learn that the Dutch steam-boat Batavier gave, during the late stormy weather, fresh proof of its superiority to the English steam-boat. It left London on Sunday the I st, at twelve o'clock, and arrived at Rotterdam on the 2d, but a few hours later than it would have done if the weather had been good. The English steam-boat, with the mail, left London on Saturday the 31st, in the morn ing (i. e. the day before the Batavier) and did not reach Rotterdam till half-past four on Tuesday afternoon, after the weather bad become more moderate. " Three English steam-boats, the Harlequin, Ate wood, and London Merchant, which left Rotterdam on Saturday morning, did not get out to sea on that day. The Attwood and Harlequin put to sea on Sunday ; the London Merchant made a trial, but put back and did not get out to sea till Tuesday morning. During the storm o❑ Sunday and Monday, the sea rose to an extraordinary height on our coasts, and even reached the Downs. The small house near the bathing house at Scheveningen was swept away. AUG. 25.—0 n Friday, the 23d, about noon, several persons here and in the environs thought they felt a slight shock of an earthquake. It was felt about Axal. FLUSHING, SEPT. 3.—The Bears van Amsterdam steam boat is aground to the east of the Sluysche Gat. She was bound from Rotterdam to Dunkirk with a cargo of cheese. Her crew and passengers are saved, but the vessel is supposed to be lost. The accounts from the coast of the effects of the late storm are dreadful. The capital Dyke of West Capelle, which gigantic work is universally admired as the chief bulwark of Walcheren, has been very much damaged by the raging of the waves, so that it is absolutely necessary immediately to make the greatest efforts to repair it. Oar seamen declare that they do not remember ever to have witnessed so severe and long continued a storm. In the night of Sunday, in particular, the weather was most terrible : the vio!ent gusts of wind— the awful claps of thunder—the incessant blazing of the lightning—the rain pouring down in torrents, with the frightful raging of the sea, formed altogether a scene which it is more easy to conceive than to describe, exhi biting to the astonished mariner a war of elements threat. ening to involve all nature in destruction. For some days past, it has b,en generally reported that the Prince of Orange was going to Schwedt ; but we learn, from good authority, that he returned yesterday (the 4th) from the Lo to Tilburg ; so that it would seem these reports are at present premature. It is said that the Cabinet of St. Petersburg has sent a circular to the Russian Legations at several Courts, con taining various important particulars respecting the po litical intention of the journey of his Imperial Majesty, who, it is said, will nut go merely to Schwedt, but proceed further inland, with a view to another interview with the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria. ST. PETERSBURG, AuG. 28. Admiral Ricord has arrived at Odessa, on board the Princess Lowicz frigate, and is performing quarantine. The greater part of the squadron which he commanded in the Mediterranean has arrived in the Black Sea, and gone to Sebastopol. ELBERG, /tun. 28.—The equipages of General Count Benckendorff, Prince Woldurski, Count Orloff, and Count Adlerberg, all heavily packed, have passed through this place coming from St. Petersburg, but none of those gentlemen are with them. (From the Prussian State Gazette.) BERLIN, SEPT. 4.—Letters from Stettin. as late as yesterday afternoon, five o'clock, say that the Emperor of Russia had not arrived at that time. His Royal High ness the Crown Prince VI,B still at Schweinemunde, ready to receive his illustrious guest on his arrival. The weather continued to be extremely unfavourable, with alternate storms and rain. According to the latest accounts from St. Petersburg, his Imperial Majesty had sailed on the 28th of August, on board the Ischora steam-boat. Prince William Adalbert is gone to Schwedt ; the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have arrived from New Strelitz ; Baron Von Humboldt, from Wittenburg ; PrinceWladimir Galiiizin, and Major Sumarkow, from Konigsburg. CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 10.—(Flom a letter.) Va rious circumstances continue to keep the public mind in a state of anxious suspense, and to check the revival of commerce; the chief is the report (which is at least very doubtful), that in the convention lately concluded between Russia and the Porte, the sovereignty of Wallachia and Moldavia is ceded to Russia, in lieu of all the contribu tions still to be paid ; the active negotiations between the Foreign Ambassadors and the Turkish Ministry ; the report of serious differences between the Ministry and the Divan on one hand, and the Sultan on the other ; the cruising of several Russian men-of war in the Black Sea ; the movements of the French and English squadrons, and the incessant coming and going out of the officers of thrhe squadrons, which looks as if they were reconnoitring. As for the cession of Wallachia and Moldavia, it would be advantageous io the Porte, in a pecuniary point of view, as the tribute which it receives is only about 136,000 florins, and the interest of the debt to Russia amounts to 200,000 •erins.
