The house met at half-past four o'clock. ROYAL ASSENT. The Royal assent was given by commission to 4 . 4 pub lic and private bills. The following are the public bills : —The Customs' Duties (Sugar and Spirits) ; the Excise Duties (Sugar) ; the Railway and Canal Traffic Regula tion ;the Church Buillings Act Amendment ; the Public Statues ; the Witnesses ; the Registration of Bills of Sale ; the Warwick Assizes. The Lords' Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, Earl Granville, and Lord Stanley of Alderley. The Earl of POWIS presented a petition from several rural deaneries in North Wales against the appropria tion of the endowments belonging to Wales, by the Oxford University Bill. The Marquis of WESTMINSTER presented a peti tion from Blandford against the employment of dogs for the purpose of draught. Lord STANLEY (of Alderley) presented a petition from a place in Lancashire in favour of the Oxford Uni versity Bill. THE BISHOP OF NEW ZEALAND. The Bishop of LONDON inquired of the Duke of Newcastle the reason why the usual grant of 6001. to the Bishop of New Zealand had been withdrawn. Li being deprived of this grant, in which he had a vested interest, he (tho Bishop of London) considered the right rev. prelate h , d been hardly and unjustly dealt with. Ile believed it was said the colonial legislature ought to pay the sum ; but there was no chance of that, as they had already refused to pay the sum. He hoped therefore that, notwithstanding what had passed in the House of Commons, the Government would find some means of repairing the injury which had been done. The Duk of NEWCASTLE said the reason no grant of 6001. was proposed was the fulfilment of the pledge given in 1852 by Sir J. Pakington, that all votes for New Zealand should cease in the present year, and the understanding that the colony would pay the 6001. He was fully aware of the great merits of the bishop, and of the benefits he had conferred upon the colony ; and he felt confident that other resources would be found to meet the claim which he had upon the Government. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Lord REDESDALE moved that the time for reading private bills a second time be extended from Tuesday, the 11th July, till Tuesday, 18th July. Agreed to. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair shortly before 4 o'ciock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Davies's Estato Bill, Landon's Estate Bill, and Salis bury and Yeovil Railway Bill were read a third time and passed. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented by Mr. CAYLEY, from tho Mayor and Corporation of Middleborough, in Yorkshire, in favour of closing public houses on Sundays ; by Mr. A. PELLATT, from certain inhabitants of Kennington, in favour of admitting Dissenters to the universities ; by Mr. W. PATTEN, several petitions from different parts of the country, for closing public houses on Sundays. ROYAL COMMISSION. Mr. PIILMAN, Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod, ap peared at the bar, and summoned the house to attend in the House of Lords to hear the Royal Assent given to several bills (for which see Lords' report.) BRIBERY BILL. The house then went into committee on the Bribery, &c., Bill. Lord J. RUSSELL said some new clauses proposed to be introduced by the hon, member for Suffolk (Sir F. Kelly) were of considerable importance, he trusted they would be incorporated in the bill. He thought it was impossible to proceed with the Controverted Elec tions Bill this session, and therefore he intended to post pone it._ Mr. WALPOLE expressed his concurrence in the expediency of this intention of the noble lord. Clause one was agreed to without discussion. Clause two gave rise to some conversation as to the technical meaning of the term "Agency," or what con stitutes agency.

THE WAR. NAV 4L AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Hannibal, 92, Captain Grey, has already taken in her stores, &c., and will without fail sail for the Downs in the morning (Sunday), together with the Algiers, 92, screw, which, we understand, are to be reviewed in the Downs, when they get the French troops on board, by her Majesty and Prince Albert, together with the Em peror Napoleon. Such a noble example will tend to cement the already good feeling that exists between our navy and army. The Netherlands vessel Annechina Jantina, S. G. Oostra master, arrived at the Nore on Saturday evening, prize to the Archer, in charge of Mr. Austen, shipmas ter, of Sunderland, and a prize crew. Mr. Austen has been doing pilot's duties in the Baltic, and returned from that service. S. G. Oostra, the master, R. Ralf sema, mate, and D. Postema, a seaman, belonging to the Annechina Jantina, were sent in by the guardboit, and are now on board the flag-ship Waterloo as prisoners at large. The vessel proceeded for the West India Docks. The masters and crews of the Franceska Nornen, Johanna Maria, and Jean Maria, left Sheerness on Sa turday morning under charge for London to undergo an investigation as regards the capture of these vessels, for attempting to break the blockade. They are expected to return again in a few days. A negotiation is going on between the Danish Minister and the Admiralty re lative to the capture of the Danish schooner Steen Bille, Captain Beck, and it is fully expected this vessel will be released, the Admiralty only waiting for a reply to cer tain inquiries they have made of Sir Charles Napier. At 8 p.m. on Saturday the Widgeon steam-packet arrived at Sheerness with machinery and parts of tele scope funnels, towed down in the Beaver. On arrival she proceeded alongside the Hannibal, and the machi nery, &c., was received on board for conveyance to the Baltic. Mr. John Creasy, secretary, has been reappointed to be secretary for duty under Captain Superintendent John Jervis Tucker at Sheerness. Preparations are being made near the-entrance of Queenborough-wall for laying ways for a new patent slip on an extensive scale by Mr. Josiah. Hall, Govern ment contractor. It is understood the Admiralty au thorities at Sheerness will avail themselves thereof as occasion may require, which will in most cases effect a very considerable saving in costs for docking and un docking, and placing small class vessels on graving slips for necessary repairs. There is not at present any patent slip in or near the river Medway, and there is no doubt it will be found a profitable investment by the spirited owner. The Janus, 4, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Lieutenant• Commander Colin C. A. Kane, has been receiving mails for several days past, and has taken all packages for the Baltic fleet lying at the Admiral's offices, Sheerness. She left Sheerness yesterday at 10 a.m., for Woolwich, to take out from that place supernumerary boys for the fleet. The Adder steam-vessel, Mr. Munchen acting master, arrived at Sheerness on Saturday morning, with a large supply of live stock, poultry, forage, &c., for the use of the wardroom officers who are to receive as messmates the French officers of the troops that aro to embark on board that ship in the Downs. The St. Vincent, 101, Captain Manse], and the Sphynx, paddle-wheel steam sloop, Captain Clifford, left Spithead yesterday, about 4 p.m., for Calais Roads, where the embarkation of the French army fur the Baltic will take place. The Termagant, 24, screw steam frigate, Captain the Hon. Keith Stewart, sent up topgallantmasts at Ports mouth on Saturday, and in the evening got up her steam to teat her boilers, &c., and try the working of her engines. She will be ready by to-day to follow the St. Vincent and Sphynx. The Cura2oa, 31, screw frigate, was undocked at Portsmouth on Saturday morning, and removed into the ship-fitting basin, where she will proceed with her internal fittings for commission. At present she is in the engineer's hands. The Rhadamanthus, steam-transport, Master Com mander Belem, went into the steamer basin at Ports mouth on Saturday to discharge the machinery for the new screw-vessels, Harrier, 17, and Swallow, 10, which she took round from Woolwich. The Curagoa, limier, and Swallow are being fitted with their ma chinery with the utmost expedition. The Rolla, 10, is refitted and ready for renewed ser vice at Portsmouth. Her Majesty's ship Royal William, 120, Captain Kingcome, was towed from Plymouth Sound on Satur day morning by the Avon and Confiance steam-vessels into the Channel, and proceeded to the Doiens. The British and Irish Company's steam-scrip Duke of Cornwall, Captain Higginson, which left London on Saturday morning, and arrived at Plymouth on Sunday afternoon, reports that at 5 o'clock on Sunday morning, seven miles west of St. Katherine's Point, Isle of Wight, she saw a large man-of-war, probably the Royal William, in tow of a Government steamer. The ship was under her fore and aft canvas, having the wind light from north-west. The steamer was barque-rigged, going aboutresix knots. The Wolverine, 12, Commander Corbet, sailed from Plymouth on Friday morning for Queenstown and the West Indies. Commander John Steane (1841) is appointed Ad miralty agent of the screw steam-ship Prince of 2,700 tons, now at Deptford, that fine vessel being hired by Government for the conveyance of French troops and horses to the Baltic. Commander Steane took up his commission to the Prince, at Deptford, on Friday. An examination of 16 candidates for entry as ship wrights' apprentices took place on Friday, at the ap prentices' school, at Woolwich Dockyard, by Mr. Wm. McPherson Rice, master-shipwright ; the Rev. J. C. Connolly, chaplain of the Dockyard ; and Mr. MS/Ivey, the teacher of the dockyard-school ; and nine of the candidates have been selected to fill that number of vacancies at present existing for shipwright apprentices, and their names submitted to the Admiralty. CHATHAM.—The siege operations to be performed at Chatham on the 13th of this month will be on an exten sive scale. The whole of the troops of the garrison will be engaged in the attack and in defence of a fortified town. The troops will consist of the 35th Regiment, Royal Marines, the 80th and 94th (recently returned from India), Provision Battalion, Royal Artillery, the Royal Sappers and Miners of the East India Company's Service. The siege will be under the direction of Colonel Henry D. Jones, director. The chairman and Court of Directors of the Hon. East India Company will be present, beeide3 other important personages belonging to the army and civil departments.—Maidstone Journal. ARRIVAL OF THE MEDWAY. The Medway, emu mended by Mr. Baynton, belonging to the Royal West India Mail Company, arrived in Portsmouth harbour yesterday morning direct from Constantinople and Gib raltar. She brings home a quantity of damaged and un serviceable stores. Her visit was totally unexpected, nor is it yet determined upon what service she is to be employed. She was ordered alongside the Camperdown receiving-hulk, and will discharge the condemned stores in lighters to the dockyard. We learn from her that matters are in a state of the greatest confusion in the East—that complaints are loud and frequent at the execrable contract stores and tools provided for the sap pers and miners, and which are worse than useless— troops are driven forward like sheep, to endeavour to be in time to save Silistria, which was, at the time of the Medway's departure from Constantinople, hard pressed. She left that port on the 24th of June, at nine p.m., and arrived at Gibraltar at six a.m. on the 3d July ; left Gibraltar on the same date, at eight p.m., arriving here this morning (9th), at ten a.m. Spoke the Diamond, 27' Capt.

LAUNCH OF THE EXMOUTH, 90.—The launch of this noble ship takes place on Wednesday afternoon next from the dockyard at Plymouth. The gates of the esta blishment will be thrown open to the public at 3 p.m. as usual on these occasions: Tho fr;ends of the officers will be admitted by tickets, and he accommodated in booths erected for the purpose.

Extract of a letter from H.M.S. Linnet, 8, Comman der Henry Need, dated west coast of Africa, May 3 : " We captured a fine barque at Cabenda on the morning of the 30th of April. She is 250 tons burden, and was going to Black Point, about 37 miles to the northward, to ship a cargo of slaves. We saw her a few days pre viously under American colours, but when taken she had neither colours nor name ; she is supposed to be called the Millander, of New York. On our approaching her the crew jumped overboard, with the exception of the captain, who hailed us, and requested we would not fire ; he quietly gave up his vessel, saying, I'm glad she is taken, for I'm almost tired.' "—Plymouth Mail. The 20th Regiment, commanded by Colonel Horne, was reviewed on Plymouth Hoe on Saturday morning by Major-General Sir Harry Smith, who commended both officers and men for their good conduct while under his command, and expressed his entire confidence in their continued discipline when serving under Lord Raglan in the East. On retiring to the Citadel, Col. Horne, who has travelled through the seat of war, strongly recommended his men to use flannel next their persons in summer and winter, and to observe great tem. porance in the variable climate of that part of the country which they are about to occupy. The 97th Regiment now stationed at Horfield Bar racks, Bristol, have entirely doubled their numbers since their arrival there. They have obtained nearly 100 recruits in Bristol. On Thursday the 13th Battalion of Artillery left Horfield Barracks for Devonport. Twenty men, under a Lieutenant, remain at Horfield in charge of the guns, which are very shortly to be removed to Woolwich, the Government having determined that Hor field shall no longer be an artillery station. The quar ters occupied by the artillery are to be for the future held by cavalry. YEOMANRY.—The West Essex Yeomanry Cavalry do not meet until Monday, the 31st of July, when they will assemble at Chelmsford for training, under the com mand of Major Palmer. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1854. THE TROOP SHIPS. SOUTHAMPTON, Saturday.—To-day the various ships belonging to the mail companies connected with this port have undergone a most rigid inspection by Captain Milne, superintendent of the transport service, and Sir Baldin Walker, Surveyor of the Navy. Some time was spent in the survey of the Himalaya, and so satisfied were the gentlemen of her very great use in the convey ance of troops, either infantry or cavalry, that we under stand it i 3 most probable that she will shortly become the property of the Government. This fine ship went into the graving dock this morning, where her outside has since undergone a thorough cleaning. Since the water has left her she has been visited by a large num ber of persons, most_ of whom had never before the opportunity of viewing this leviathan when " high and dry." Considering the many thousand miles she has steamed since she was launched, her bottom was comparatively clean, riot a barnacle being attached to the few weeds that adhered to her hull. These have been carefully scraped off, and she is now being coated with Peacock and Buchan's patent composition. When she left the stocks in Mr. Mare's yard, at Blackwall, she had merely a coating of red lead, which, however, has stood un commonly well. This stupendous ship was docked without the slight est difficulty, and, by slewing her rudder a foot or 18 inches, there was just room for her. It will be satisfactory to many of our readers to know that the Himalaya has not received the slightest injury from her unfortunate accident in getting on shore off Sconce Point ; in short, so little impression was made upon the vessel, that the fact of her having been aground was not noticeable to an ordinary spectator. Captain Claxton, who is superintending the construction of the leviathan ship now building for the Eastern Steam Navigation Company, was amongst the gentlemen who have this day inspected the Himalaya. As it is arranged that the Himalaya is again to pro ceed to the Black Sea with cavalry, there is nothing to describe, in reference to her fittings, she still remaining in the same state as during her previous voyage from Cork with a regiment of Dragoon Guards. It is understood that she will embark her freight at Plymouth, and will leave the docks for that port on Sa turday next. The Himalaya has been victualled by the Messrs. Cooksey, merchants of this town, who are also in treaty for providing with necessary stores other ships about to be employed in the transmission of troops. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's fine screw ship Simla, of 2,600 tons burden, and 600-horse power, has been chartered by the Government. This ship will also be employed in the conveyance of cavalry, and extensive alterations are rapidly taking place on board. It is presumed that she will be able to carry nearly as large a number of men and horses as the Himalaya, but her exact capabilities have hardly yet been ascertained. This ship also leaves on Saturday next for Liverpool. The screw-ship, Colombo, of 1,800 tons burden, and 450-horse power, also belonging to the above company, is ordered to be ready for sea by Saturday next. It is understood that she will convey infantry, but her in tended destination is not yet known. The auxiliary screw steam-ship Rajah, of 600 tons and 60-horse power, is ordered to convey troops and stores. It is presumed that she will take a voyage to the Baltic Sea, and will take her departure on Saturday next. The Manilla (screw), which is advertised to take her departure for Constantinople on the 15th inst., will con vey about 100 tons of ammunition for Government uses to that port. The Royal Mail Company's steam-ships Avon and Orinoco (paddle) are also getting ready for sea. The latter of these ves , els, which has already proved of such great service in the disposal of troops, will leave on Mon day for Portsmouth. The Avon is ordered to be ready during the week, and will probably take her departure on Saturday. There is no information which may be deemed authen tic respecting the various troops which are to be con veyed by these ships. It is rumoured that the Simla will have the charge of the Scots Greys ; but no actual arrangement has yet been made. EXPLOITS IN THE GULF OF BOTHNIA. We make the subjoined extracts from a communica tion of an officer in H. M. ship Leopard, published in a Dublin paper, giving spirited and graphic sketches of the recent operations in the Gulf of Bothnia : " 11. M. S. LEOPARD, GULF OF BOTHNIA, MAY 19. As yet we done nothing in the fighting line ; we parted from the Commissioner-in-Chief at Gotsk about a fort night since, and have ever since been cruising in the Gulf of Bothnia, in the hope of taking prizes, but in vain ; I suspect they have all gone into neutral ports. We lay three days and nights at a place called Grisselholm, in Sweden, as there was a Russian brig at anchor there, in the hope that she would come out, so as we could catch her ; and we sent away our boats armed every evening ; two nights the brig came out, but seeing our boats (fur it is daylight hero all night) she put back again, so we gave up all hopes of getting her and left the port. We stood away to the northward and at ' tempted, in company with the Valorous, the Vulture, and the Odin, to get to a Russian fortified town called Boomer to attack, but not having pilots, and all the buoys of the channel baring been removed, the Valorous, at eleven o'clock in the morning got aground about twelve miles below Boomar ; we were front eleven till four trying to get her off. Fortunately it did not blow, and at 4 pen. we towed her off, and in doing so strut* heavily ourselves on a rock !—there was a fix, a heavy frigate of 1,500 tons stuck on a rock ! Well, we got hawsers out of two of the steamers to tug away at us • hammocks were never piped down, and not a man in the ship went to bed that night, and good cause they had to stay up and work—there we were, four ships embayed in rocks, afratd to stir—one of them on tho ground ; all this about a mile from the shore, and we momentarily expected during the night to 'see 50 gun boats come down from Boomer, and if they had they would Lave murdered us to a man, crippled and disabled as we were, and the poor old Leopard, over on her bilge, could not have fought her main deck-guns ; fortunately the gun boats did not come off, and at four o'clock the Leopard floated once more. I never saw men work so well as our fellows did ; it was a great escape both of wrecking the ship and of not being taken prisoners or slaughtered. Strange them, but ea t t° say, we have not made a drop of water since, thou gh she must hav e b een wounded sorely. We the nce steer ed to the n ort h ward, an d f or the last two days have been o s with h e got cutting and t ear i ng th ro ugh the ice. We passed fields of ice five or si x mi l es i n l e ngth ; we intended going on to a pl ace called Dgouberg, that moun t s twenty guns and has f or t y gun-boats. The capta i n th en ordered the boats againa as t t h h e ey " May 20.—W e are at anchor offi ca meditated bafi ied u e s o a r n m d i ng provedtli too thick t o force h d e boats through. e place t to , called Galle n , rePr Swedish i land i highry up in the Gulf of Bothnia. We came here to try to into a get pilots to take nsßussian port called Vasa or Vesel, but when we asked them they guessed our i n t ent i on (that ofattacking it), and they refused to go. It is wonderful the fear the Swedes HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. have of the Czar. There is not an inch of the Gulf of Bothnia„ but we have crossed over ; it is a strange place ; gular : the other morning we saw a lighthouse up in the air, and on looking at the chart it was proved to be fully 50 or 60 wiles off. Ships appear when you are nearly a day's sail from them, now with three hulls, now without sails, in a moment with a cloud of canvass, now turned upside down, and half-a-dozen ships are over the other, all as large as the biggest three-decker ; when you come up with her she is some insignificant coaster. We are within a couple of degrees of the Arctic Circle ; the sun does not set till - ten p.m., and he rises about two ; we have broad daylight all the time he is below the horizon. We are going on up to the head of the Gulf, and when we do we shall see the sun at midnight. We have been in at various Swedish ports. I had rather a pleasant day not long since at a place called Oregund ; we went in for water up one of the " Fiords" for 26 miles amongst beautiful islands, passing some six yards off in twelve fathoms of water ; it was strange to see a large ship steering close by the copses of pines, her yards rubbing the branches. May 29th.—Since I last wrote we have been in the ice ; all the day we have been bursting through ice of enormous thickness, some 20 feet deep ; as far as the eye ' can carry is ono undulating plain of ice. We have nearly smashed off all the floats of our paddles ; we attempted to tow the Valorous, but so great was the strain that we burst two hawsers, 21 inches in circumference each. We are ripping our way to attack a fortified town called Uleaborg, where there are 50 gun•boats, a strong fort, 2,000 foot soldiers, and 3,000 male inhabitants. 30th May.—Yesterday we got clear of the ice, and went into a place called Brahestad, where we sent off 16 boats armed ; we found a good town, an enormous ship building and timber yard, 11 fine ships, besides boats, cutters, and small craft, extensive store-houses, where 10,000 barrels of pitch were stored, besides wheat and provisions. No one opposed our landing, and in a quarter of an hour it was oae ocean of flame, We de stroyed everything ; it was an awful sight; ships-stores, houses, all -in one common ruin. The unfortunate in habitants were like madmen ; it was a sad sight to see the creatures ; many a man rose yesterday in good cir cumstances, and that night was a ruined man ; at a mile off we were scorched in the boats. We left that night, and are now, at 11 a.m., going to Uleaborg, to do the same work. _ _ The last flower show of the season took place on Sa- turday in the society's grounds at Chiswick, and at tracted a very large number of fashionable visitors, in consequence of the announcement that her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the royal family would visit the gar dens. The Queen has been a frequent visitor to these delightful grounds, but she has always gone there at an early hour, and has left before the general public were admitted. On Saturday, however, the usual course was departed from, and the Queen paid her visit late in the afternoon, when the gardens were crowded. The pro verbial anxiety of the public to have a look at their Sove. reign is well known, and even the aristocratic company who patronise Chiswick are not exempt from this par donable weakness, which has combined with it strong feelings of respectful attachment to the Sovereign and her family. As it was estimated that many thousand persons would be present, very extensive arrangements were made to prevent any obstruction or crowding, and the arrangements were, on the whale, so satisfactory that her Majesty's visit was unattended with the slightest in convenience. The public were admitted as usual at two o'clock at the gate adjoining the main road, and the gate lower down, in the Duke of Devonshire's road, was ap. propriated to the use of the royal party. An awning was erected here from the carriage way to the entrance. and a crimson cloth laid down to the gravelled walk, The awning was tastefully hung with scarlet drapery, a body of police were posted along the road to keep the drive clear, and one of the military bands was stationed on the opposite side of the road, where the royal carriages were to draw up. Within the grounds, the tents in which the fruit and flowers were exhibited were arranged on either side of the walk leading to the grand conser vatory, and from the royalentrance gates strong wooden barriers were put up, extending to and surrounding all the tents, terminating at the further extremity in a handsome marquee, hung with alternate stripes of crim son and white, for the use of the royal party. Chairs, couches, and a table were placed here, and notices were posted up in various places intimating that at half-past four o'clock the tents would be cleared, and all the visi tors were requested to retire without the barriers. This order was readily obeyed, and although not one-third of the persons present had an opportunity of examining the fruit and flowers, the tents were cleared out precisely at half-past four, the temporary openings closed up, and the police were left in undisturbed possession of the in terior. The company, who by this time must have amounted to some six or eight thousand, now crowded round the barriers, swarmed up in hundreds to the trance gates, and possessed themselves speedily of every opening from which a view of the royal party could be obtained. In this way more than two long hours were passed, and the visitors began to be extremely impa tient ; those who happened to stand in the rear of three or four rows, and who hal no hope of obtaining a glimpse of her Majesty, betook themselves to prome nading over the green sward, which was in excellent order after the late rains, and the bands, which had been performing in the Duke of Devonshire's grounds, having returned, the company enjoyed a little music to beguile the time. At twenty minutes to six the cheers of the populace outside announced the arrival of the royal party. The band struck up the National Anthem, and immediately afterwards her Majesty, who had been received on alighti ng by the members of the council present, entered the grounds, leaning on the arm of Prince Albert, and followed by their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred, and the members of Her Majesty's suite. The Duke of Devonshire, president of the society, was absent from iilness. The Queen, who looked in excellent health and spirite, wore a white muslin robe deeply flounced and trimmed with lace, a white silk mantle, and bonnet of white lace, with blue trimmings. She carried in her hand a magnificent bouquet of flowers, probably the of fering of the aristocratic horticulturists of Chiswick. The royal party, attended by the members of the coun cil, then proceeded leisurely through the tents, examin ing the many beautiful and rare specimens of horticul tural and floricultural skill therein displayed. On arriving at the extreme end, near the grand conservatory, the illustrious visitors halted for a few minutes, but the Queen did not sit down. They then returned through the tents, taking the opposite side, and spent some time in minutely examining the curious collection of exotic orchids, pitcher plants, epiphytes, or air-plants, &c. The royal visitors left the gardens at 20 minutes to seven o'clock, proceeding through the Duke of Devonshire's grounds to Buckingham Palace. The visit of her Ma jesty was understood to be an effort on the part of the council to revive the declining fortunes of the society, which appear not to be on so satisfactory a footing as formerly. To make matters worse, it is understood that Sir Joseph Paxton is prepared, next summer, to enter into formidable competition with the Horticultural So ciety, and give floral and musical fetes upon a scale of splendour,' and at a price which will place them above all rivalry. In the present case there were very general complaints that, for the greater part of the day, the visitors were debarred from any view of the plants and flowers, and were deprived of their customary musi cal treat, and the moment the royal visitors left, the ex hibitors commenced removing their flowers. The bands of the Grenadier Guards, the Ist Life Guards, and the Coldstream Guards were in attendance, but the company were favoured with very little of their exquisite music, and they, like the exhibitors, disappeared in the train of royalty. Among the visitors we observed the Duke and Duchess of Argyll, the Right Hon. Shaw Lefevre, Speaker of the House of Commons, Lord Henley, the Earl Of Bradford, Bishop of London, Lord Sondes, Lord Alvanley, Sir P. Van N. Pole, Sir George Carroll, Sir John Duckworth, Lord Grantley, the Ladies Mar sham, the Turkish, Neapolitan, and Bavarian Ambassa the s, &e. Although the morning was gloomy and threatening, the evening turned out extremely fine, but many were deterred from visiting the grounds in conse quence of the sky being overcast till the afternoon, and the proverbial ill luck which has recently attended the Chiswick fetes. This, with the shortness of the notice respecting the Queen's intended visit, prevented the so ciety reaping the benefit of her Majesty's condescending patronage. The Duke of Devonshire's grounds were, as usual, thrown open to the public, but the superior at tractions of the royal visitors prevented many persons availing themselves of his grace's kindness. The com pany did not leave the grounds till a very late hour. AWARD OF THE JUDGES. L. G. 1, signifies first large gold moda! ; L. G. 2, second largo gold medal ; 0.

" 3d June.—We have destroyed Uleaborg • the land is one smoking ruin—for miles all is a smouldering fire. We left the ships at nine p.m. on Thursday—twenty boats. For three miles we rowed up the river, with ships and storehouses for pitch, and immense timber yards on each side. We came to the town, all the in habitants were up. Though it was midnight. it was just as bright at day—no resistance was offered— and we landed the marines. It then began to rain, and it never ceased till now (Saturday). We then began the work of destruction and never left off till ten o'olock on Friday morning. I got hurt, however, in escaping from the fire, that at one time threatened to cut off our retreat. For nine mortal hours we were under the wet in the boats, and being the commanding officer's boat, we had to be the last to leave, and it was near costing us our lives, for we got hemmed in in the river by the fire. Twice we attempted to burst through it, and twice failed—at the third time the first lieutenant cried out, " pull, pull for dear life, one more attempt." For about 100 yards I had to close my eyes and put my hands to my face—l was scorched and roasted—my hair singed. We g. , t out fainting and half-grilled, and on looking back nothing but a lurid mass of flame ap peared where we had come through. The other boats on seeing us emerge from this wall of fire gave three cheers, as they said they never expected to see us again. We had a narrow escape, and lost one man—this morn ing some of his skull and spine were found burnt to a cinder. It was as dreadful a night's work as ever I was at, and as terrible. " Bare Sound, June 22.—We arrived here from Ore gund on Tuesday evening. On our arrival we found twenty-eight ships of the line, besides about six frigates and some steam sloops ; of these we have some ten or twelve French ships ; the French flag-ship is lying close to us—they form a noble show. Baro Sound is about fifteen miles S.W. of llelsingfors, which place can be seen from the mast-head. Sir Charles has been up close to Sweaborg with the fleet, and left some half-dozen of 50-gun frigates crusing off that port, one of which is constantly coming to the fleet with information, while another is instantly despatched to supply her place, T o d ay , a ll th e fleet, with the exception of the sail ing vessels, are to go to Cronstadt. We have orders to weigh at eight o'clock, a.m. After we have surveyed it —that is, the Leopard and half-a-dozen of heavily armed steam-frigates, with some of the line-of-battle ships—we are to proceed to Boomar, and, if possible, reduce it without delay. Boomar was the place we were going to, you may recollect, when we got ashore with the Valorous about two months ago. . . The best possible feeling exists between the officers of the two fleets ; nothing but constant interchange of civilities. The weather is extremely hot ; a week ago we were freezing in the ice. We are lying about a mile from the nearest point of land, and the French soldiers (for there are about 200 in each ship) go daily to exercise on shore, It is now drawing near eight o'clock, when we are to " shorten-in" and weigh. I will bid you good-bye ; I fancy we shall be at Cronstadt to-morrow noon ; how soon after we may be at Boomar I cannot tell. Fare well !" PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. lIOUSE OF LORDS.-JULY 7.
