THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 11, 1845. Her Majesty, we - are happy to say, looked extremely well, and appeared to be in most excellent spirits. The Queen, as she passed towards the stairs, constantly re turned the greeting with smiles and b ,ws. Prince Al bert was also exceedingly well received. The Queen was attired in a dress of purple shot silk, a black satin mantle, and straw cottage bonnet, trimmed with striped blue ribbon. At the moment the Queen arrived at the head or the granite stairs descending to the river, the sight that met her eyes must have been at once pleasing and gratifying. The Albert and Victoria yacht, the Porcupine survey ing steam-vessel, and the Black Eagle steam-ship, had all their yards manned ; hundreds of small boats dotted the water, and farther off from the shore, in the rear of the Government vessels, were several large steamers, crammed with passengers. The Queen was conducted to her barge by the Earl of Haddington, Lord Aberdeen, the Lord Chamberlain, and Lord Steward ; aril Sir Francis Collier had the honour of steering her Majesty. The royal barge was occupied by the Queen, Prince Albert, the Earl of Aberdeen, Lady Canning, and the Countess of Gainsborough, Ladies in Waiting. The royal salute was fired as her Majesty proceeded to the Victoria and Albert yacht. On reaching this vessel three cheers were given by the crews of this and other steam ships, and Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence hastened to assist the ascent of her Majesty upon deck. The royal - standard floated in the breeze momentarily with the Queen's arrival on the deck of the royal yacht. The Lord Steward, Sir James Clarke, her Majesty's physician in ordinary, end others of the royal suite, were taken to the Victoria and Albert yacht, in one of the Ad• miralty barges. Mr. G. E. Anson, treasurer and private secretary to Prince Albert, and Colonel Wylde, Equerry to his Royal Highness, with others of the Household, embarked on beard the Black Eagle. The Reyal yacht had now got her steam up, and was preparing to cast off her moorings, when it was hinted to the Noble Captain that a servant of Prince Albert's had not arrived, and hence a delay of ten minutes or a quarter of an hour occurred. At last the individual arrived by a Waterman steamer ; he jumped into one of the Trinity barges and in very quick time was on board the Royal yacht, when her snoorings were cast oft, and she proceeded down the river in a majestic style, followed at the distance of a quarter of a mile astern by the Por cupine surveying steam-vessel, Captain Frederick Bul lock, and the Black Eagle steam-ship, Master Com mander B. Cook. A royal salute was fired from the marshes as the royal squadron passed the Arsenal. It is expected that the royal squadron will anchor fur the night at the Nore Light. For the convenience of her Majesty's table, an Alder ney cow is housed on board the yacht, adjoining the starboard piddle-box forward. Between the funnel and the mainmast, amidships, a large Monzani's life boat is stowed fore and aft. The services of Mr. Knight, the pilot., who has been engaged on board the royal yacht heretofore, and in whose skill and experience, in navigating all the large ships that leave the river, the utmost confidence is ever placed, are again called into requisition on this occasion. THE ROYAL PROGRESS.—The following has been published as a correct programme of the royal move ments for the next few days:— The royal yacht, after lying at the Nore for the night, will proceed at an early hour this (Sunday) morning to Antwerp. Arriving at Antwerp, her Majesty and her Illustrious Consort will proceed thence by railway to Bruhl, a palace belonging to the King of Prussia, situate in the Prussian Rhenish provinces near Cologne. Her Majesty will remain the guest of the King of Prussia at Bruhl two days. Upon leaving Bruhl, her Majesty, accompanied by the King and Queen of Prussia, will proceed by Bonn to Stolzenfels, a small castle on the Rhine, near Coblentz, also belonging to the King of Prussia. Here the royal party will remain two days, proceed ing thence vid .blayence, Frankfort, Wurtzburgh, Bam berz, on to Coburg and Gotha.—Obserrer. IN THE PRINCIPAL CIT. NAMES OF RAILWAYS. London.'

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. 3IISSIONARIES. LAUNCH OF THE AVENGER STEAM-FRIGATE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. This steam-frigate was launched at Devonport Dockyard on SIR.,-1 am a constant reader; of your very valuable paper, Tuesday afternoon, at five o' c lock, is good style, in the pre- which 1 prefer to all other London papers, and beg to direct sense of the authorities and a large concourse et all classes of your attet)t.io2 (Ai eseOkieti, I think, you could do spectators. The interesting ceremony of naming the frigate great justice. At. e.a st - omner given to Sir Henry ?ottinger was gracefully performed by Miss Harding, a niece of the gal- in London, in the latter part of his speech, he said, " That in lant Admiral Superintendent Sir Samuel Pym, K.C.R. The rtipect to the introduction of missionaries into China, there Avenger after being launched was taken alongside the sheer ought to be great caution used, as the Chinese were a suspi hulk, the following day she was masted, and yesterday was cious people, and it wou ld b e mos t i m p o litic to do anything taken into do c k. The following are her principal dimensions, that would do away with the friendly feeling so fortunately sub draught of water, &c.:— i sisting between us." In corroboration of the soundness and propriety of this opinien of Sir Henry Pettingcr, I beg leave to give you the Duke of Wellington's opinion on the same subject as to our East India possessions, from his speech its the House of Lords, Aug. 14, Ib3B .—he said, " He had seen the mission aries at work in India, and had witnessed the little or no pro gress they made, while, at the same time, they created a very considerable degree of jealousy." I hope, Mr. Editor, that you will pardon th liberty I have taken, but I have Rich a sin cere wish to see Great Britain at peace with all nations, more particularly so when O'Connell and the repealers are ;so anxious to see her brought into dif f iculties, that they may the more easily carry out their designs.

BONE MILLS AND PUNISHMENT WHEELS IN UNION WORKHOUSES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. " The floor of the midship section of this vessel is flat com pared with either of the steam-frigates hitherto built by the. Navy Office ; )et we venture to predict, from the immense masses of timber unnecessarily employed in her construction, together with the great quantity of copper bolts and metal dump fastenings, she will, in consequence of the proper form not being preserved throughout, he just as bad as the Retribution and others which have preceded her. A very little investigation will make this quite evident. " The Avenger, to a draught of water of 17 feet even keel, has a displacement of 2,450 tons. " To a light draught of water of 10 feet, which most pro bably will be the mean draught when launched, without ballast, the displacement will be about 1,120 tons. Now, as is evident, the difference, ♦iz , 1,330 tons, between the light and load draught will be all the capacity she has for stores, equipment, engines, coals, &c. At a moderate calculation, the weights required will be as follows : Engines, gear, &c., for 650-horse p0wer......... 550 tons. Coals ... ... . . MO do. , General armament, &c., suppose as Penelope... 600 do. Total ... ... 1,650 To meet this 1650 tons there is, as we hare shown, only 1330 tons. Sin,—That a very many improper transactions are car rying on now in some union workhouses is as clear as that the houses have been built. Sir J. Graham expressed his astonishment at the statements made by Mr. Wakley in the House of Commons .this day week, and said he could not believe the assertions ; if what was stated be true, he must have heard of the circumstances before. Let not the Home Secretary be deceived; he may depend upon it that in some union-houses transactions take place which he little thinks of. The country has paid officers in abundance, beginning with the poor-law commissioners and downwards, and yet (even from what has been broached in Parliament during the last six months) we have most disgraceful transactions carried on in union workhouses. It is high time Sir James Graham set about having those scandalous transactions put an end to.—Your obe dient servant, A CLOSE OBSERVER. Aug. 8, 1845. Difference 320 tons. Consequently the Avenger will be short of displacement 320 tons ; and taking 16 tons to the inch at her load line, will give au immersion of upwards of 1 foot 6 inches beyond the draught of water, as shown by drawing. " What is the precise armament intended for her through out we believe no one not in the secrets of the Navy Office knows. It is wisely preserved as a Protean quantity to veer and haul upon, so that the constructors may he committed to nothing; and if the ship should not happen to suit the arma ment, why then they will make the armament suit the ship, as in the case of the Albion's 68 pounders, except that indiscreetly that armament was promulgated at an early period. " If we may venture to judge from the size of the ports on the main deck, she cannot well have an armament greater . than a 32-pounder, if so large—her ports being only 3 feet 3i inches long, by 2 feet It) inches deep ; whilst a line-of-battle ship's lower deck. port is 3 feet 6 inches long, and 2 feet 11 inches deep. " The whole of the main deck is so loaded with cabins, that whatever armament be placed on this deck, it will he impos sible to work the guns without clearing them away, whilst the cabin-windows are so high, it will puzzle any one how to make a gun bear aft in the line of the keel, now there are no after ports appropriated to this purpose. So much for this new specimen of the anti-science school, and so much for at least 30,00,1. of the public money, together v. ith another 30,0001. for the engines." THE Jarrus STEAM-SLOOP.—This new steam-sloop, de signed by the Earl of Dundonald, is alongside the sheer hulk at Chatham. On Saturday she proceeded on trial as far as Short Reach, at the rate of 3i miles per hour ; but it appears she had some difficulty in getting back in the evening. Last week there were a great many pipes bursted on board, and the plumbers and braziers were at work night and day. The Janus was to have gone to the bore on Wednesday morning; but after having her steam up for several hours, there remained little prospect of her moving. THE LATE FIRE AT CHATHAEI ON BOARD THE SOUTH AMYTON FRIGATE.—On Monday last an account appeared in the daily papers of a fire on board the Southampton frigate, at Chatham, the particulars of which, as to the alarm it created, were very exaggerated. A fire certainly did take place, but it was of such a trivial nature, and the alarm was so slight and transient, that it was not worthy of record ; but as an incorrect statement did appear in print, it is only fair that the correct version should be given. The shipwrights of Chatham dock yard had been opening the ship preparatory to the annual sur vey, and having ripped down a part of the lining of the after bread-room, they left a quantity of chips there. The shipkeeper was ordered to clear it out, for which pur pose he went down with a candle and lantern, but whilst engaged, his attention was called by the bey to a signal made by the Poictiers, ordinary guard-ship, which, it ap pears, it was the duty of the shipkeeper to answer, and ho immediately proceeded on deck for that purpose, leaving the light in the bread-room. From some cause the lantern fell on one side, and the horn having been burned through the flames communicated to the chips on the floor and from thence to the lining. The women on board perceiving the smoke ascending, gave the alarm, and assistance being imme diately on the spot, it was extinguished in a very few minutes. It is true the sentinel on the wharf opposite the ship rang the alarm bell, at his post, which was the only ball sounded. Not a musket was fired; and, as for the Poictiers firing her guns, the idea is absurd, as it is well known that the few guns she has on board are merely to exercise the boys of the Ordinary, and are never discharged, not even on the most urgent occasions, as the ship, being close to the dock-yard, the firing of her gene would cause a great destruction of glass. The Calliope, 26, Captain Stanley, is lying in Plymouth Sound. THE BRAZILLIN PIRATES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUIV. SlR,—When the Felicidade was captured by the Wasp, there being no slaves on board, was she a legal prize and a British vessel until condemned by the Mixed Commission Court at Sierra Leone? If the Felieidade was not an adjudged legal prize of the British Government, was a British naval officer justified in using the Felicidade, a Bras ban vessel, in capturing another Brazilian vessel (the Echo) even having slaves on board? If the Felicidado was still under the Brazilian Government, the vessel not having been adjudged to be a legal prize when the crew of the Echo was placed on board, was not any offence committed by any part of the Echo's crew, on board the Felicidade, liable to be adjudicated by the Brazilian Govern ment, and not by a British court of justice, the capture of the Echo being supposed to be illegal, not having been made by British officers from a British ship ?—Yours, &c., Ilfracombe, Aug. 8. D. The Adventure, transport, left Chatham, on Wednesday, for Devonport, with stores. The Tortoise, lighter, arrived at Devonport, from Pembroke, on Monday, with stores. CHATHAM. Auo. B.—The Scout, 18 guns, corvette, Com mander lion. James R. Drummond, was paid off this day. 1 sergeant, 1 drummer, and 15 privates of the Royal Ma rines, joined this day their head-quarters at this division from the ship. The Teazer steam-frigate is ordered for building; her keel is alongside the slip from whence the Alutine brig was launched. The shipwrights are engaged laying the blocks for its reception, and the vessel will be commenced building in a few days. _ _ _ TILE CONDEMNED PIRATES AT EXETER.—The Western Times says that on Wednesday a further respite until the 25th November, for the pirate slavers left for execu tion at Exeter, was received by the Governor of the gaol o f that city. GLASGOW ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.—It will be seen, in reference to the advertisement in another column, that a singularly interesting work is about to be published, by subscription. It is a republication of the old Glasgow Courant, from the 14th of October, 1745, to the 13th October, 1746, which gives a complete detail of the move ments and romantic adventures of the Pretender. The work has been undertaken by William Meikleham, LL.B., solicitor, in Glasgow, and secretary to the University. He is the son of Professor Meikleham, and is in possession, we be lieve, of the only copy extant. As a record of news, notices, and advertisements, of the inhabitants of Glasgow 100 years ago, the work will be a great curiosity, and, there cannot be the least doubt, that it will be greatly prized by all lovers of ancient relics, and others desirous of perusing the records of their forefathers.—Extracted from the Liverpool Mercury of August 8. CAUTION TO ADVERTISERS.—A novel species of fraud has lately been discovered in connexion with adver tisements, which only requires mention to put the public on their guard against the system of victimization, which, as far as it has at present gone, appears to have produced an ample revenue for the gang of vagabonds concerned in the affair. The most successful part of this plan has been in obtaining payment for advertisements supposed to be in serted in small weekly and monthly periodicals, but which periodicals have really no existence, the names of substan tial booksellers being given as the publishers to prevent sus picion or inquiry. Of course persons advertising under such circumstances have only themselves to blame for not exer cising proper caution in seeing that their advertisements do appear before they pay the money, and a little experience may, perhaps, teach them wisdom. But the system extends further than t his. The same parties have expressed their willingness to relieve their friends who have honoured them with orders of the trouble and inconvenience of taking their regular advertisements to the daily journals, stating that they are allowed a commission of 2i per cent., which, if the advertiser were to go himself, he would not get. It does not seem that they have done much in this way at present, though the default has not arisen from their want of inclination, but from want of patronage. In cases where they have obtained such orders the advertisements have never appeared, though they have charged and received the money for them. The receipts seen for sums paid on this system of advertising bear the signatures of two or three indi viduals evidently in disguised hands, and the bills are generally made out fur amounts of between 21. and 31. The Calypso, 20 guns, was put out of dock and masted on the 4th inst., being nearly completed for the pendant. The Janus steam-sloop was taken into dock the same day to clean the copper on her bottom, and She was put out on the .sth ; and the Active, 36 guns, taken in to be coppered. The Rover, 16 guns, in dock. The required repairs of this vessel are of so extensive a nature that the Admiralty have ordered her to be taken to pieces, and shipwrights are to be hired for that purpose. Janus steam-sloop—This unfortunate and most expensive craft has at length made a start. She was ca , t off from the sheer hulk about eleven o'clock A.M., yesterday, and by the aid of a high pressure of steam and canvass, managed to get down the river nearly as far as Sheerness, when she returned, and arrived at the sheer hulk at about four Y. at. There is cer tainly a slight improvement in her movements, but still not one-third of what is required. IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN CATTLE, FRUIT, &C. A very large quantity of cattle, fruit, and other descriptions o provisions, have again been brought to this country from Holland and other parts of the continent within these few days. The Dutch steam-ship Batavier, which arrived at the St. Katherine's Steam Wharf, from Rotterdam, on Wednes day afternoon, had on board the large nutaber of 74 head of oxen and c ows, and 60 sheep, all of which were in excellent condition, and were landed and delivered with all possible dispatch. This vessel also brought 646 baskets of currants, besides a large quantity of melons, poultry, yeast, and other articles of Dutch produce and manufacture. The General Steam Navigation Company's vessel, Rainbow, which ar rived at the St. Katharine's Steam Wharf, from Havre, on the following evening, had a large quantity of plums and eggs, besides a variety of other articles ; and the Company's vessels, the Tourist, from Calais, and the Earl of Liverpool, from Os tend, on the same day, had also a large quantity of poultry, eggs, and butter, and other articles for consumption in this country. It is remarkable to how extended a period the im portation of currants are taking place from Holland, from which country the importation of that peculiar description of fruit appears to be chiefly confined, whereas the cherry season, having in a great measure ceased, the fruit now brought from the French ports consists of plums principally, unripe walnuts for pickling, pears, &c. In these things the French season appears to be considerably in advance of ours in the production of such articles. TERRIFIC AND DESTRUCTIVE TIIUNDER STORM. —About four o'clock on the afternoon of Thursday, the 31st ult. , two clouds, like immense mountains, were observed ap proaching each other from opposite points, the one coming from the direction of Melksham, and the ether from that of Chippenham. They moved along slowly, silently, and majesti cally, till they neared each other, over the seat of T. H. S. Sotheron, Esq., M.P., at Bowden Hill, when, coming into cot lision, an appalling noise was heard, as if a thousand pieces of artillery had been simultaneously discharged, and repeated at intervals of a second only. The war amongst the elements now became grand in the extreme. The clouds, dividing and receding for a short space, instantly returned to the conflict, like so many huge and infuriated monsters striving for victory. As if stunned by the violence of the second charge, they drew up in parallel masses, pursuing a north-easterly direc tion, skirmishing in their sullen movements towards Derry hill and Studley. Unable to restrain their mutual wrath any longer, the contest was renewed with redoubled fury, when the rain descended in torrents, accompanied with showers of hailstones of various forms, and of extraordinary magnitude, some of them measuring three inches in circumference. The descent of these sharp, angular, and ponderous congelations, committed such mischief among the windows, fields, and gardens of the poor cottagers, breaking their glass in a thousand fragments ; cutting their potatoes, peas, beans, and every species of garden pro ductions, and laying them. prostrate ; and literally thrashing their wheat in the ear. It is supposed that a hundred pounds is ill not cover the loss sustained by Mr. Cole, a small farmer at Studley. From Studley the storm took a more easterly direction, and passed over Bowood, where it committed great havoc. Besides breaking a number of windows in the mansion, thirty thousand squares of glass were demolished among the frames and hot.houses of the Marquis of Lansdowne. Fortu nately the tempest did not extend to much more than a mile in breadth, and about three miles in length.— Wiltshire Independent. GROSS CASE OF NEGLECT.—MANSLAUGHTER.-- On Friday Mr. Bedford held an inquest at the Feathers, Dean street, Westminster, on the body of James Smith, aged four months, the illegitimate offspring of Ann Smith. From the evidence of severe] females residing in the same house with the mother of the deceased, it appeared that the deceased was born in St. Margaret's workhouse, which place the mother left in Match last with the deceased, who was then a fine healthy child. Shortly after the mother was in the habit of leaving the deceased alone in the room for the whole of the day, and returning home at night intoxiaated; and but for the kindness of the witnesses, who were frequently attracted to it by its cries and fed it, it would have had no food. For the last six weeks the deceased had gradually wasted away, and on Thursday week last it presented such a pitiable appearance of skin and bone that the police were made acquainted with the case, and the deceased, who was found alone in the room in a dying state, was removed to the workhouse, in which it expired on Wed nesday last. The mother, who was bound in a neighbouring public-house playing at cards with some soldiers, was taken into custody, and remanded by the magistrate to await the result of the present inquiry. Mr. White, surgeon, of Story's gate, who had opened and examined the body, said he could find no organic disease sufficient to account for his death, and he attributed its death to atropy, through want of care and nourishment. The jury, after some consultation, returned a verdict of manslaughter against Ann Smith ; and the Coroner issued his warrant for her committal to Nowgate. SEVERE HAIL. STORM.—An immense shower of hail • --- fell — at Bowood, the seat of the Marquis of Lansdowne, on Thursday afternoon, by which the glass in his Lordship's houses and geenhouses was destroyed, to the value, it is esti mated, of 5001. Much injury was also done to the beautiful pines and plants, and many of the trees in the park were stripped of their leaves. In the neighbourhood the wheat and the beans were cut down by the hailstones as if by a scythe. The roaring of the tremendous storm at Buwood was heard at Caine, which is two miles distant, for full five minutes before its approach to that town. So loud was the appalling sound, that the people in the streets stopped to listen to it, not being sble to coneeivo what was the immediate cause of it. Consi derable injury was also done at Rumsey H ouailse, the resi weredenre ce of Mr. Angell, and at Bowden Park. The hstones markably large, some of them bein g an inch in circumference. —Devizes Gazette.

THE GENTLEMEN OF ENGLAND. This match was commenced at Canterbury on Thursday, but the weather altogether spoilt the play. The preceding night had been very wet, and although the morning opened with much promise, yet, about eleven o'clock the rain came down in torrents, and continued until nearly one, when the ground became completely saturated. The sun then shone forth in all his splendour—a circumstance which appeared to summon all the beauty and fashion of that part of the country, for ere the gentlemen had taken their places in the field, the ground was, three sides of it, encircled by carriages, -principally filled with elegantly-attired ladies. The Earl of Wincoilsea, with a large party, again honoured the pro ceedings with his presence; Deedes, Esq., M.P., was likewise present, with a numerous company of friends; the Hon. F. Cavendish, the Hon. F. Ponsonby, the lion. S. Pon sonby, the Hon. It. Grirnston, in addition to almost every nobleman and gentleman of wealth and importance in the county. The score stood as belew at the close of the day's play KENT. E. Banks, Esq., b Commerell, W. Banks, Esq., b Denison 3 F. A. Fagge, Esq., c Taylor, b DeMson N. Felix, Esq., not out A.

The annual contest amongst the very respectable water men plying at Whitehall-stairs, for a purse of sovereigns liberally subscribed b y the Duke of Buccleuch, the Earl of Liverpool, Sir Robert Peel, and others of the nobility and gentry of the vicinity, took place on Friday. The race was in two heats with five scullers. • H. Pener, pink F. Jones, green T. Pener, red T. Jones, blue S. Pener, yellow The start was from off the Earl of Liverpool's, up round a boat off the New Houses, down round a boat near Hunger ford -stairs ' up round a boat opposite the Duke of Buccleuch's, and finish at Whitehall. It was a good and very close race. They all went away at the same moment, and then, after a few sharp . strokes, H. Pener led. In rounding the upper distance-boat, T. oncs was second, but, overshooting it, his opponents cut him off, and he became last, but went to work gain sharply, and overhauled S. Pener, off Brent's-road. H. Pener held the lead, but a little skill displayed by his op ponent, Jones, left it doubtful at one time which would be the winner; as, in passing some craft off the Houses of Par liament, against the tide, H. Pener went outside, and Jones taking the inside in the slack, came up scull and scull with him. Won by half a length. GRAND HEAT. Pener II T. Jones ...... F. Jones. 2 T. Pener The winner took the lead, and kept it, coming in first by three - or four lengths. In coming up from Hungerferd, T. Jones outrowed T. finer, and took the third place. W I NDSOR, HOME AND GREAT PARKS.—The Com missioners of Woods and Forests have just determined upon several erections in the Home and Great Parks at Windsor, ae. cording to the designs of Edward Plore, Esq., one of the archi tects to the Crown. An extensive lodge is to be erected at the entrance of the Great Park, close to Cumberland-lodge. The gardener's cottage, close to Adelaide -lodge, in the Home park, is to be taken down, and a picturesque building erected, to harmonise in style with Adelaide -lodge. Fiying-barn, the residence of the fisherman in charge of Virginia-water, and the fishery at Cumberland-lodge are also to be taken down, and rebuilt in the Elizabethan style. Several other alterations and improvements to the royal property are in contemplation. It is rumoured in the circles of fashion that the lady of a deceased Viscount is about to enter again the honour able bonds of matrimony with a gentleman possessing large landed property in one of the midland counties. EXHIBITION OF PUBLIC FEELING.—Mrs. Walker, who was acquitted on Tuesday of the alleged poisoning of her son, returned to Lockerbie on Thursday last. We regret to learn that something like a popular outbreak has occurred in ccnsequence.of this step, which was certainly an imprudent one in the state of public feeling. She was hooted by a crowd coi -1 tented at Moffat ; and similar treatment awaited her at Locker bie, where her effigy was burned before the inn door, on Thurs day evening. Considerable excitement still prevails in Locker bie..-Dumfries Courier. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. LONDON, AUG. 9.—Wind S.W., fine clear weather, and 'resli breeze. DEAL, AUG. B.—Arrd.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) COWES, AUG. 8. ller Majesty, Prince Albert, and suite left Cowes this morning, embarking on board the Fairy steamer, which came into the harbour to receive her; she is much better adapted for embarking, and cruising also, inside the Wight than the Victotia and Albert. The men are employed day and night in building the new pier for the royal landing place: the Fairy will be able to lie along side of it. The company is begining to arrive for the regatta. The following are the arrivals at the Globe Hotel, on the South Parade :—Lord Warnclitle, Lord Castlereagh, Captain Port man, Colonel White, M.P., Mrs. and Miss White, Duke of Leeds, Lord Seaham, Sir John Nicholls, E.

In our match three yachts lost their masts, and one her bowsprit. Their barques were built for little lakes and not to brave the sea. HELMSDALE, AUG. 4.—Our herring fishing wns attended with little success during the past week. The highest average we had was 2 crans upon Tuesday—another day we had I crans—the general average for the season is 28 trans. The salmon fishing is far short this season, not half the quan tity caught here last year, hut the grilse fishing has done well, nearly four times the quantity last season—few are looked for after this date.—laverneis Onnott. SMALL CHANGE FOR PERSON GOING ON THE CONTINENT. Persons of importance being in the habit, at this sea• son of the year, of rushing to the Continent, we hays drawn up the following rules, after six trips up and down the Danube and Rhine, to enable travellers to support the character of Englishmen with that degree of pride and gentlemanly spirit for which they are noted abroad :- 1. Write your name in large letters, with date and address, wherever you go. For this purpose, you had better carry about with you a bottle of Warren's black ing and a large brush, and you can then lay it on as thick as you please. 2. If you go into a cathedral when service is going on, never mind talking or staring, or pointing, as much as you like ; for it stands to reason, if the people are really as intent on their devotions as they pretend to be, they cannot hear or see you. The best way to test this is to walk down the aisles with your hat on. 3. Always suspect you are being imposed upon. It is well known that the innumerable small foreign coins were expressly invented to puzzle the English. To guard against giving too much, bargain for everything you have, and try to bate down every item i n y our bill. Recollect it is the notion of foreigners that every Eng lishmen is stuffed full of money. The sooner you dis abuse them of this notion the better. 4 Laugh at everything you do not understand, and never fail to ridicule anything that appears strange to you. The habits of the lower class will afford you abundant entertainment, if you have the proper talent to mimic them. Their religious ceremonies you will also find to be an endless source of amusement. 5. Never mind what damage you do, as long as you can afford to pay for it. Your brothers and sisters will naturally expect some remembrance of your t)ur, so do not scruple to carry off a souvenir of every monument you visit. A saint's finger, or a whole statue itself taken during the night from its consecrated niche in some lonely street, will convince your relations you have not forgotten them, besides affording you capital sport and healthy excitement in making the collection. 6. Recollect very few people talk English on the Con tinent, so you may be perfectly at your ease in abusing foreigners before their faces, and talking any modest nonsense you like, in the presence of ladies, at a table d'hotc. Do not care what you say about the Govern ment of any particular state you may be visiting, and show your national spirit by boasting, on every possible occasion, of the superiority of England and everything English. 7. If you go to a theatre, and do not know a word of the language of the pieces, do not hesitate to talk as loudly as you can, or to laugh preposterously at the gibberish which it is a marvel to you anybody can un derstand. 8. If foreign states will have foolish laws about pass ports, it is not to be expected that you, as a free-born Englishman, will tamely submit to theta, so always move about as independently as if you were in your own country. If, by a stretch of despotism, you are taken up or sent back, you have your redress by com plaining to the British Ambassador, or else by sending your case to be laid before Parliament as a casus Belli, to any distinguished Member of the Opposition of the time being. 9. Be particular about your diet. Avoid foreign dishes ; be sure that the wines are poison, and grumble at everything you get. Recollect that beef-steaks and bottled porter are always kept in the smallest villages S a t w i o e n a r ; , a i i u f h a a f v e l e l o a w m i s i n i d nso fa i, r n i t, t, th a r t as t h he hi s ni m , a a ll n e d st , for the use of the English. nd, one interferes, thrash him also. Recollect you ipfr anyol s t o . can indulge in any violen.,e you please, as long as you have the means to pay for it. 11. Be sure t 3 take English servants with you. They are useful in speaking the language, settling the bill s , and taking you to see the most remarkable sights of the country. Besides, they are so good-tempered, - and so pleased with everything—the eating and drinking especially—that it is proverbial an English John and lady's maid add materially to the comfort of a conti nental trip. 12. Buy something at every place you stop at. The foreign articles are not only so much cheaper and better than any you can get in England, but there is also the pleasure of looking at them, and the pride of displaying them before other people, every time your boxes are examined at a custom-house. If you aro asked to pay anything extra for them, on the ground of duty, sooner allow every article to be confiscated than submit to the imposition. 13. Take all your wardrobe with you. Extralug gage is never charged for on the Continent, and it would be very foolish to miss an important ceremony, or a royal invitation, for the want of a proper gown, coat, bonnet, cocked hat, pelisse, or regimentals. You can always avoid the nuisance of having your box e s examined by asking to see the officer on duty, and slipping a bank note of the country (price 35.) into his hand. 14. Be sure to cultivate your moustachios the very day you start for the Continent, and allow your hair to grow down your back. Buy a dialogue-book, and if you study it attentively all the way up the Rhine, and at all the places you visit, you will be able by the time you reach London, to ask, " Which is the nearest way to Cologne?" in no less than eight different languages. Attend most scrupulously to the above golden rules, and you will never find any difficulty in getticg on with the small change with which we have provided you for your trip. Disburse it liberally wherever you go, and you will certainly succeed in making the name of an English man respected and beloved all over the Continent, and will impress foreigners with the belief that England is without a doubt—what you must always be boasting she is—the most civilised country in the world.—Punch. A green plover (pewitt), of a pure white colour, with the exception of the tips of its wings and tail, which are a light dun, was shot on Prestwick Car, near Newcastle, a few days ago, by Mr. Matthew Wilson, gamekeeper to Captain Mitford, R.N.—Durham Advertiser. FALL OF TILE ALMON AUCTION ROOMS, BIRKEN- IiF:AD.—On Tuesday night List, just before twelve o'clock, the extensive auction rooms of Mr. Green, of Birkenhead, fell down with a tremendous crash. It is fortunate the accident happened in the night, or many lives might have been lost. The amount of damage must have been considerable, for the rooms were filled with valuable furniture of almost every descrip, tion.—Chester Cronicle.

GREEN IN HIS BAL LOO N.—On Thursday night, when the " Albion" balloon, with Air. C. Green, left Cremorne Gardens, it was carried in a di- rection, south of east, passing near Battersea-fields, when its course was continued nearly in a straight line towards Foots Cray, the altitude being between 1,000 and 2,000 feet. Here Mr. Green lowered the machine for the purpose of making choice of a spot on which to descend, and in doing which, being about a distance of 600 feet from the earth, he found the current more to the east. It was Mr. Green's object to alight where ho was likely to cause the least possible injury to the produce. He made a few attempts to descend, and at the same time displayed some Bengal lights, but which drew no one to his assistance. About twenty minutes past eleven o'clock he made choice of a large turnip field, about fifty acres in extent, two miles on the other side of Far ningham, Kent, the property of Mr. James Rus sell, of Horton King, on which he fixed his grap pling irons, after having been in the air above forty minutes. Having got out of the car, and observing that there was ne one near, Mr. Green immediately emptied the balloon of its gas, the first time that he has been compelled to do so un assisted. After he had effected that, he made himself a tem porary residence for the night in his car. From five to sit o'clock in the morning he was employed in walking about, looking for assistance, when he came to the farm-house of Mr. J. Russell, who, upon being informed by his servant of the visit that was paid to him, got up immediately and went to the spot where the balloon had alighted. Ile subsequently invited Alt. Green to breakfast, expressed himself highly de lighted that he had landed in safety, and exhibited the most kind attention, a respect which Mr. Green states it is not usual for farmers in Kent to show towards him. Mr. Green arrived at Cremorne-gardens on Friday afternoon about three o'clock, where the greatest anxiety was manifested on account of his long absence. He was received with three cheers. The distance of Farningham from Cremorne Gardens is about twenty-five miles.
