August I.—The British Queen hauled out of dock. in New York, at two o'clock p.m., and fired her guns as the signal of departure. A vest concourse of spec tators lined the wharfs, quays, battery, and forts, for two or three miles in extent. The weather beautiful in the extreme, and the view of the battery from the ship was grand and cheering. The vast assemblage of spec tators, formed in the arch of a circle, filling the fore ground—the rich foliage of the trees which adorn the batery rising in infinite majesty behind—and the joyous city, with its towering spires and splendid domes in the distance, formed one of the most enchanting and picturesque scenes which the eye has witnessed, or the imagination conceived. The guns of the forts proclaimed our departure, and the voices of 100,000 spectators threw their acclama tions upon the gentle breeze. The steam-boats Arrow, Passair, Neptune, and se veral others, with their three decks crowded with all the beauty and elegance of New York, cheered the Queen as she moved slowly and majestically down the Narrows, and added splendour to the beauty which de corated the whole line of coast. At four o'clock she passed the lighthouses of Sandy Hook, and gave a parting cheer to our kind friends who accompanied us thus far, about 22 miles, in their fairy steamers ; and so we stood out to sea.

She ma d e b u t a short stay of on e hour ; in fact, she had no sooner an• chored, t h a n the signal gun was fi re d w ith Bl ue Peter flag hoisted, to denote that she was again under way. The British Queen brings home 112 passengers, and has proved a most desirable vessel. Her voyage to Portland from Sandy Hook was 13 days and 17 hours, making 13 days and 22 hours to Spithead ; and during her outward and homeward-hound voyages steaming all the way, until the last four days, when the sails assisted. During her passage out, being near the banks of New foundland, they fell in with the English merchant ship Bethel, belonging to 13ideford, which vessel was aban doned, having on board a cargo of iron.

SlR—Seeing a correspondence in your Parr of ve , t, rday, between Mr. Pl,tts, of Newc,stle-urn Tyne, and the Lord Mayer, ou the Cod C rmbirt Lion in the North, and noticing the price of the bezt cools in Staffordshire to be (accordin g to his LN-dship's statement), Gs. per ton on board, I shall feel obliged to Mr. C. Lee Wilson, or any other gentleman, to inform me at what mine or mines the best coals of that district were to be had at 65., at Bs., or even at 9s. per ton on board, and from what authority he states the canal dues on tonnage to be only ss. I,d. per ton, the whole distance from those mines to London? If he can clearly and satisfactorily show those statements to be correct, L for one, ant very much decei%ed, but shall not feel the less gratified to fiad them true.

JOHN PARTRID3E. On Wednesday last, in consequence of the publica tion of this letter, a Deputation of four gentlemen from the North Staffordshire Coal Company waited upon the Lord Mayor, to state that they were in a situation to show that they could supply the best Staffordshire coals at less than 95., Bs., or Gs. per ton, for they would be able to sell them for 3s. 6d. per ton at the pit's mouth, and they were making arrangements which would enable them very shortly to put them on board at that price, so that they could deliver them at the houses of the consumers in London. Of the quality they would say nothing—Staffordshire coals were well known, and would long before now have been greatly used by the London public, were it not for the obstacles thrown in the way by Acts of Parliament and heavy canal dues,. The former had, however, been repealed—and the latter, by the extraordinary exertions of the Lord Mayor, had been reduced above 50 per cent. All the deputation asked was to be allowed to send a top of coals to the Mansion House for trial, and if hi., Lordship did not find them to ba as good as tiny inland coals he bad used, they would not of bourse presume to solicit his support. The Loan MAYolt said that although the season was rather inconvenicnt for an experiment he would willingly make it, after 44 bUt he would be glad to receive further information on the subject, first as to the price at the pit's mouth, and secondly as to the haulage, for, if Lord Londonderry's statement of wear and tear and expenses attendant upon raising coals to the pit's mouth were to be relied upon, the present statement would appear most erroneous and inaccurate indeed. The Deputation declared that they meant what tbty stated, and were fully prepared to prove the fact., and would at once supply his Lordship with the nay.nes of the collieries from whence the coals came ; that after an outlay of 10,0001. upon a tram-road to the canal, they would undertake to put the coals on board at 3s. 6d. per ton ; that pith regard to the haulage they were constructing new boats, in which they should bring thirty tons at the charge at which twenty tons were now brought in the present boats, 0 - ,us producing a reduc tion of the cost of haulage of one third, and that agents were already appointed for. the Leicester, Derby, Not tingham, and other inland coals, a fact that made the provision of additional craft necessary for the inland coal-owners, who could never be sufficiently grateful to the Chief Mag;Arate of London for what he had done in bringing 0 - ,eir coals into public favour. They assured his Lords Lip that the bugbear of " dust and white ashes" had hitherto been a great stay upon them, notwitli standing many of the gentry of the inland counties had burnt the inland coals all their lives, and none else, and the furniture of their residences was uninjured amidst all the extensive consumption. The Loan MAYOR—I suppose your only fear is that the Northern coal owners will not continue their com bination as long as you would. wish, to enable you to sell under their present combination prices? The Deputation replied that it would make no differ ence to them whatever, whether the combination were broken up or continued ; they could always sell all their coals at twenty-two shillings and sixpence, and when it was considered that the average importation horn New castle was fifty thousand tons a week, all the inland coals that could be brought would only tend to keel. the Northern coal owners in order, and prevent extravagantly high prices. Capital, they added, was ready to be ad vanced now to any extent to increase the supply of in land coals. Yesterday morning the Deputation again waited on the Lord Mayor, in whose parlour were burning, at the time, some of the Staffordshire coals. Of the quality of the coal there could not be a doubt. Newcastle could not have produced a more persuasive experiment. There were several gentlemen present who at once agreed in the opinion expressed by the Lord Mayor. The Deputation stated that Sir Felix Booth had tried a sample of these coals against the Welsh coal, in his extensive premises, and considered that they were as durable. The heat the Staffcrdshire coals threw out, was, by the acknowledgments of cooks and others, who always had opportunities of judging, stronger than , that produced by the generality of coals. They had two sorts, which came from the mines near Chandle, in Staffordshire. The Delphonse mine produced one sort, which was a stronger coal than that in the parlour grate. The Dilborne mine produced the coal then burning, and Mr. Partridge might apply for coal at the latter place, and should be most gladly supplied with them at 6s. 6d. per ton, of exactly the same quality. The LORD MAYOR inquired how lie could be sure that the coals then burning before them were Stafford shire coals. Mr. Butcher, the son of the bead clerk of the coal market, said that be stood at the pit's mouth at the Dil borne mine, and saw the coals raised and loaded into the barge, in order that no mistake might exist on the subject. He would undertake to say that there were some millions of tons of these coals, that they lay only fifty-six c ands from the surface, and the contact price for raising them was only 2s. 6d. per ton—a statement very different from that which came from the authority 'of Lord Londonderry ; that all that came to the surface came to market; that the coals were raised in lumps of about 300 cwt., and that there was no slack or waste. A coal merchant, who was known to the Lord Mayor, was present during the interview, and he ad mitted that the coals of which the sample was burn ing must meet an immediate market in London. The Deputation declared that the public should meet with no disappointment, and said that they should feel great pleasure in being patronized by a Chief Magis trate who had rendered such services to the population all over the country. The Loan MAYOR said that he patronised all the coal merchants who supplied the public with good coals at 2 0 s. per ton, and that it would be quite time enough for them to ask for his patronage when they bad more coal than they could sell. He felt satisfied that every person who burned such coal as they saw in the grate supplied by them wAougldoocdonethienaupe coal o a d l ewaal,saanldi the e tr p o u d b u l c i e e o ther customers. required. He saw, to his great delight, that the public were determined to support him in his great object, of destroying the combination which had so long existed. The most affluent ranks of society were now engaged in the very charitable work of destruction, and the poor would, instead of paying at the rate of 405., or, as was sometimes the case, 50s. a ton for coals, obtain the material for a good fire, in the winter, at little more than half of the former price. The Deputation said there existed no doubt of the fact, and that his Lordship's anticipations, when he com menced his operations against the monopoly, were not an atom too sanguine. The Loan MAYOR mentioned to the Deputation that he had been informed on the preceding day by an inland coal owner, that a coal-merchant who professed to sell no coal but the best Newcastle coals, had been for sometime past buying inland coals, tried to beat him down a shilling a ton, in order to substitute his coal for the former. The same coal-owner, upon whose ve racity he could place the greatest reliance, informed him that there was about town a very bad sort of Newcastle coal, which was frequently supplied to old customers when they ordered home the Lord Mayor's coals. His Lordship finally assured the Deputation that they and all the coal merchants who would supply the public with such coal as he was burning, should have his pa tronage and warmest recommendation. COMMITTAL or A FEMALE ON A CHARGE Or ROBBERY AND INCENDIARISM.—Harriet Harter, a de cently dressed young woman, about twenty-years of age, was committed for trial on a charge of this nature from the county Public Office on Tuesday. On her way to prison she confessed to the policeman that she was guilty of the robbery, and had thrown the bundle she had with her, when first seen by Mr. Price, which contained the stolen property, into a pool which she indicated. The water w a s drawn off, and the story found to be a fabrication ;1 the bundle, containing the pr►ncipal part of the effects stolen having been afterwards found elsewhere. The prisoner offered not a word in her defence, and was fully committed for trial at the next Assizes, on the double charge of rob bery and arson.— W o rcesteshirre Chronicle.

Water may be dispersed in form of a gentle shower or dew-fall. It is the most beautiful instrument for the above purpose ever offered to the public, and is never liable to be out of repair. May be seals and proved at 35, Regent Circus, Piccadilly. N.R. As spurious imitations are offered to the public as " IMPROVEMENTS " on Read's Patent, please to observe the Royal Arms and the Patentee's name stamped on the in- strument, without which none are genuine. BLOWING-UP OF THE ROYAL GEORGE.— During the last fortnight much interest has been man. fested at Chatham by the preparations now in operation in the dock-yards for effecting the blowing-up of the wreck of the Royal George at Spithead, which is expected to take place in the early part of the ensuing week, under the direction of Colonel Palsey, of the Royal Engineers, and his men. The mode of effecting the demolition of the wreck will be on a similar• principle to that practised on the blowing-up of the brig William, off Gravesend, last Au gust. The apparatus consists of two large cylinders, about seven feet in height, and three feet in diameter. Tney are bound with iron and lead, and filled with powder, which will be fired by a galvanic battery. FALLING STA RS.—During the night of Friday and Saturday last, the 9th and 10th August, the heavens were bestrewed with little falling stars of extraordinary brightness. Mr. Forster counted above 600 of them. It is not a little singular that the peasants of France (Query Franconia?) and Saxony, have believed for ages past that Saint Lawrence weeps tears of fire which fall from the sky every year on his fete (the 10th August). This ancient popular German tradition, on observation, has been found within these few years to be a fact, which engages the attention of astronomers. The inhabitants of Brussels can bear witness that in the night of the 10th this year Saint Lawrence shed abundance of tears.—Brussels Paper. DEATH OF AN INFANT FROM GODFREY'S CORDlAL. —Wednesday forenoon, an inquest was held at the Red Lion Inn, Pinner, Middlesex, on the body of Frances Baker, an infant three months old, whose death was occa sioned by an overdose of " Godfrey's cordial." Mrs. Mary Baker, the mother of the infant, deposed that she resided with her husband and children at Pinner. On Thursday night last the deceased was very restless. She had from her birth been in good health. Witness on Friday morning purchased a penny. worth of Godfrey's cordial, half a tea-spoonful of which she gave to the deceased. In the after- noon of the same day the child was seized with convulsions. Mr. Kelly, a surgeon in the village, was called in, but the poor babe expired on the same night. Mr. Kelly, sur geon, said he bad opened the body of the infant, and found about a tea-spoonful of a greyish milky fluid in the sto mach, and, testing the fluid, he discovered a small portion of laudanum. He ( Mr. Kelly) considered that the death of the child was natural, but accelerated by the effects of laudanum, of which Godfrey's Cordial contains a portion.— The Jury returned a verdict of natural death, accelerated by an overdose of quack medicine, called Godfrey's Cor dial, administered by tho mother. MR. CURTEIS'S CHALLENGE.—The chal lenge put forth by that eminent Sussex grazier, Mr. Cur teis, to show 100 beasts, now in his possession, against an equal number of short-horns brought forward by any per son in England (which has been accepted by Earl Spen cer, on condition that the number on his part should be limitesi to 50), has naturally created considerable sensa tion amongst our agriculturists, more especially as the numbers are so extremely large for two breeders to show. That the pure Sussex beasts are deserving of a distinct class at agricultural exhibitions, as has been asserted by Mr. Curteis, there can be no doubt, since, from long ex perience, I have found them to be both profitable, and in every respect useful animals ; whilst my only surprise being, that they have not been more extensively attended to. Let it not be considered, however, that lam attempt ing to detract from the merits of the short-horns, or, in deed, any ether breeds, any principal and only object being, in making these remarks, the improvement of stock in general. The beasts will, it is understood, be inspected on the respective farms of the competitors, and the deci sions made by the judges in August or September next Essex Paper.

SALE OF GOODS FOR CHURCH-RATES On Friday last, the goods belonging to Mr. Steer and Mr Chollerton, which we stated last week had been seized for Church-rates, in the parish of All Saints, in this borough, were sold in the Market Place. It will be seen from the following statement, that the public generally discovered the greatest repugnance to purchase ; in fact, the property of Mr. Chollerton did not sell for more than half its value, and that of Mr. Steer for about_ one-fourth. Mr. Steer's goods, worth about 61. were sold for 11. 13s. 9.1. ; the expenses with the Church-rate. were 1/. 17s. 10d. Mr. Chollerton's cheese fetched 1/. ss. lid.; the expenses of the Church-rate amounted (to 11. lls. 3d.
