Fea t event, anticipated for many weeks, and for which `2 l q pre parations have been made, took-place on Satur illtistTnoon. The weather had been threatening e aee', toe earlier part of the day, and the wind was 'te s l ,:,g what nautical men term a strong " sou'-wester."

Prince Al bert was also exceedingly well receivsd. The Queen was attired in a dress of Furple shot silk, a black satin mantle, and straw cottage bonnet, trimmed with striped blue ribbon.: At the moment the Queen arrived at the head of 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 steamship, 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 conuctsd to her barge by the Earl of Haddington, Lord Aberdeen, the Lord Chamberlain, and Lord Steward ; and 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 iiilWaitirg. 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, and 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 board the Black Eagle. The Royal 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 moorings were cast oft, and she proceeded down the river in a majestic style, followed at the distance of a quarter of smile 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 for 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 p fiddle-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 vier Mayence, Frankfort, Wurtzburgh, Barn berz, on to Coburg and Gotha. —Observer. COLONIAL ACCOUNTS. The Select Committee appointed to examine into the accounts of colonial receipt and expenditure laid on the table of the House, and to report their opinion as to the mode in which it may be desirable to frame the same for the future, in order to introduce uniformity, regularity, correctness, and completeness, and who were empowered to report the minutes of evidence, have con sidered the matters referred to them, and have agreed to the following resolutions, which they recommend should be conveyed to the Crown colonies for prompt adoption, in all cases in which they may i:ot have been already adopted and complied with under the instruc tions that have been issued far the guidance of colonial accountants, and to the colonies having representative assemblies, as suggestions for the general improvement of the colonial accounts, and for carrying out the objects recommended to the attention ofyour Select Committee : Resolved-1. That in the opinion of this Committee it is desirable that a uniform plan of colonial estimates be adopted. " 2. That it is the opinion of this Committee that such estimates be prepared (wherever it is possible),in time to receive the sanction of the Treasury Board and Secre tary of State before the commencement of the service to which the estimates apply. " 3. That it is the opinion of the Committee that such estimates be accompanied by a comparative statement of the receipts and expenditure, made up to the close of the year previous to that in which the estimates are prepared. "4. That it is the opinion of this Committee that such estimates as regards the colonial receipts, shall represent the hross revenues under their several and distinct heads. " 5. That it is the opinion of this Committee that as regards the colonial expenditure, the different charges, including the charges ofcollecting the revenue, be classed separately under their different heads, and that the same order of arrangement he universally adopted. "6. That it the opinion of this Committee that the fixed charges for salaries and other personal ser vices be kept distinct from all other charges. " 7. That it is the opinion of this Committee that in case of extraordinary or unanticipated expenditure, a supplementary estimate, in the same form as the yearly estimate, be prepared in the colony, and forwarded without delay to the Colonial-office. " 8. That it is the opinion of this Committee that immediately after the local examination in each colony of the annual account has been completed, a compara tive statement of the estimated and actual receipts and disbursements of the year should be prepared by the auditors or other officers by whom the accounts are examined, showing under each ht ad of revenue and expenditure any difference that may have occurred between the estimated and actual receipts and disburse. meats of the year, and explaining the cause of any such differences. " 9. That it is the opinion of this Committee that as all the evidence taken before the Committee proves the superiority of the double-entry system of book-keeping, its success wherever introduced into the public depart. ments, and its general adaptation to the public service, it is expedient that the said system be adopted for keep ing the accounts of colonial revenue and expenditure. " 10. That it is the opinion of this Committee that a cash-book, journal, and ledger be kept in all the colonies, and that the ledger distinctly represent the various heads of receipt and expenditure, as exhibited in the estimates. " 11. That it is the opinion of this Committee that with a view to the prompt examination of the colonial accounts, in all cases where a local auditor has not been appointed, provision should be made for a speedy and efficient local examination of the accounts • and the auditor or other officer to whom such kcal examination is intrusted, should be em power( d at any and all remonable times to compare the cash or other balances of the treasurer, or any other officer intrusted with public money, with the balances represented in the cash accounts of their respective de partments ' • but such inspection and comparison are not to supersede the periodical verification of public balances by committees or otherwise, which the governors of colo nies have heretofore been instructed to institute. " 12. That it is the opinion of this Committee that the accounts of the receipt and expenditure, when sent to the Audit Board in London, be accompanied by the esti mates for the year to which the accounts belong. " 13. That it is the opinion of this Committee that the colonial accountants be required to make up and fore ward their accounts to the Audit Board in London, within three months after the close of the financial year to which the accounts refer, or specially to report the causes of any greater delay. " 14. That it is the opinion of this Committee that in addition to the accounts sent home after audit in the co lonies, copies of the colonial cash-book and journals be forwarded to the Audit Board. " 15. That it is the opinion of this Committee that where any inquiries or questions necessary for the elucidation and prompt audit of the colonial accounts are suggested by the Board of Audit, the colonial accountant be re quired to reply to the same within one month after their receipt, or to send a special report as to the causes of de lay, ‘ stetlng the period at which the explanations may be expected. " 16. That it is the opinion of this Committee that in case such replies or explanations shall not be received by the Audit Board within a reasonable time (to be estimated according to the distance of the colonies and the facilities of communication with the same), the Audit Board shall call the attention of the Lords of the Treasury to the neglect of the colonial accountant. " 17. That it is the opinion of this Committee that a quarterly report be made by the Audit Board to the Lords of the Treasury on the state of the colonial ac counts, showing the arrears and the causes of the arrears, and calling the attention of the Treasury Board to every case of irregularity and delay. " 18. That it is the opinion of this Committee that abstracts of the accounts of the various colonies, after being examined by the Audit Board, be annually pre stilted to Parliament ; and that they bo accompanied with copies of the estimates for the years to which they refer. - "19. That it is the opinion of this Committee that it is desirable that steps should be taken for ensuring the more punctual transmission of the periodical returns of revenue and expenditure, provided for in the 7th chapter of the Rules and Regulations for the Colonial Service-,' and that it is also desirable that a systematic record should be kept at the Audit-office, in a complete and concentrated shape, of the results of all the colonial ac counts rendered to, and examined in, that dePartment, in such manneri..as at all times would afford the means, so far as regards the Crown colonies, of giving to Go vernment and Parliament specific —information on all points relating to the colonial receipt and expenditure ; and likewise that the Board of Audit should, from time I to time, suggest the introduction of such improvements lin the existing modes of keeping or rendering the colo nial accounts as would remove the present anomalies, I and secure a uniform, regular, and correct system theof colonial book-keeping •, and should also suggest needful instructions to the colonial officers for that pur purpose; and prepare such forms and models as may be i useful to give effect to these instructions."

NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Carlis'e, Au]. 7. ( Before Mr. Baron ROLFE. ) CHARGE OF POISONING AT KIREANDREWS.--JOhn Gra ham (aged 44) was placed at the bar on the charge of having, in November last, wilfully caused the death of his wife by ad ministering to her arsenic mixed in some panada, or bread and milk. Mr. Temple stated the case to the jury. Richard Hind, examined by Mr. Laurie, stated that he was brother of deceased, who lived at Kirkandrews. She died on the 27th of November last, and was interred in Kirkandrews hurchyard. It is three miles from Carlisle. The body was taken up in June last. Thomas Elliot, surgeon, cf Carlisle, made the post-mortem examination of the body. Mr. Eliot stated particularly the appearance of the body, and his evidence left no doubt that de ceased died of the poison as supposed, and that in it there was a large quantity of arsenic when exhumed. Mary Hind said I am the sister of Margaret Graham, and remember her death. She died on Wednesday, the 27th of November, at seven o'clock in the evening. She had been in good health before that, for a few months, but not very well for a few weeks before. I saw her on the Sunday morning before her death, and she said she was much better. 'I saw her that day in John Graham's, her own house. She came up to our house that morning, and stayed about an hour. I live with my father in the same village, Kirkandrews-upon- Eden. I saw her next after that on Monday morning, about nine o'clock, I think. She was then very ill in bed, and said she had been very ill all night. She complained of a very great heat and pain in her breast. She was purged, and vomited. 1 remained with her that morning till past eleven o'clock. John Graham was at home during that time, sometimes in her bedroom, and sometimes walk ing about. Mrs. Graham was very thirsty, and asked me to make her some whey. I got both the milk and ale for it, and she drank it and vomited it up again. She asked me for some gin-and-water, and John Graham gave her it I went home and returned afterwards. He sent for the doctor at eight o'clock. When I returned at two o'clock, Mr. Sewell, surgeon, had come. Mrs. Graham was rather easier, and he gave her something amongst brandy. I left about three o'clock, and returned between five and six. I left her for the night about eight o'clock. She was easier then. The purging had abated, and the vomiting had ceased. I saw her next at eight in the morning on the Tuesday. She was in bed. Nobody was in the room with her when I first went in. She had been easier through the night, and said she ha' had some sleep. Her thirst still continued. I went home, and told my father and mother how she was, and came back again. I re turned about nine o'clock. About ten o'clock John Graham made her some sago. It is what is called panada. John prepared it. He boiled it. I was in the kitchen when it was on the fire, and remarked to him that it was too thick. I was near him while it was on the fire. When he took it off, he asked Betsy Robinson, his servant, if it would do. I had my back to him then. His servant, Robinson, is also called Elizabeth Graham. I was in the kitchen. I was in the kitchen all the time it was boiling, and do not knew what he put into it after he took it off the fire. Ido not know what be might have put in before I was in the kitchen. We gave it to Mrs. Graham. I did not see her partake of it. I did not see her take anything else that morning. About an hour after she took it she was taken very ill—the same as the day before, but much severer ; both vomiting and purging worse. Her thirst was very great. She said no one could tell what she suffered that day from pain and burning heat in her stomach and chest. Cold sweat was upon her brow, and her hands were very cold. She did not see well that day, but made no complaint of her sight. She complained much of pain in her head. Dr. Sewell and John Graham's mother came after eleven o'clock. John Graham was present. Dr. Sewell proposed to send for Dr. Oliver, and Jobn Graham went himself for him about an hour after. Dr. Oliver came about two o'clock, and lie had a consultation with Dr. Sewell, who then left. Dr. Oliver gave her some thing amongst brandy, and she vomited it up again. He or dered her a mustard plaster for her breast and bowels. John's mother and I applied it. In the evening we had her up a little. She seemed very weak, and trembled all over. After I got her put to bed again, about six o'clock, the pri soner said I and John's mother had to go, and he would lie down beside her. We then went to a neighbour's house for a little while. When we returned we saw her again. She was easier, John still lying on the bed beside her. Benjamin Mitchell the elder had gone to Carlisle to tell Dr. Oliver not to come. He was one of Juhn's servants, and was sent by the prisoner. He had sent him before we came. Dr. Oliver came about ten in the evening, and John seemed very much displeased. Dr. Oliver gave her something more amongst brandy, and she vomited it up again. He ordered a little panada for her. Betsy Robinson made it, and my sister took it. It remained on her stomach while I was there, and I was there for half an hour after she took it. Mrs. Cannell is a sister of John Graham's. She called that night. Joseph told me so. Dr. Oliver said that Mrs. Graham was to be strictly watched, and was to have nourishment during the night. John Graham, was present; it was proposed in his presence, that John Gra ham's servant, Elizabeth, and his father's servant, Mary Beckton, should sit up with Mrs. Graham. John did not say anything about this while Dr. Oliver was there ; but as soon as he went away he refused; and my brother Joseph and he got to high words about it. My brother Joseph wanted them to sit up, and John would not let them. When John refused he said he would wait on her himself as well as any woman they could get. I went home about eleven o'clock, and returned next morning (Wednesday) at eight o'clock. She was easier, but much weaker. I did make some beef tea that morning and gave her it. She was very low that day, and tcok no notice of anything. She saw less, and did not hear so well. She died about seven o'clock that evening. Mr. Sewell, surgeon, of Bargh, attended Mrs. Graham during her illness, and described the symptoms as similar to those produced by an irritating poison. Dr. Oliver, 111,D., was also sent for, and coincided with Mr. Sewell respecting the symptoms. The witness was of opinion that the arsenic was taken in repeated doses. He was inclined to think, from the re-accession of the symptoms of irritation under which he found her labouring on the Wednes day, that there had been a fresh dose given in the interval between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. On cross-examination, Dr. Oliver stated that he had been fetched to decea.ed by the prisoner. Benjamin Mitchell (by Mr. TESIFLE)—I was the servant of John Graham, at the time of Mrs. Graham's death. I had lived with him about two years and a quarter. On the Sunday before Mrs. Graham died I was at home in the evening, betwixt seven and eight o'clock. Mrs. Graham had been rather off health, but on that evening when I came home she was as usual. My master was out. I went to bed before he came home. I and Betty Robinson went to bed within a few minutes of each other ' • she went first. I saw my mistress, before I went to bed, put some milk into a pan, and then some bread. Just as she was doing that I went to bed. I sleep above the kitchen. I heard the prisoner come in a few minutes after I went to bed. After he came in I heard her say, " John, you've never any time to spare for my com pany, but all will work over." When I first went to Mr. Gra ham, he and his wife were on very good terms. Margaret Rickerby was living there when I went. At first her conduct and demeanour towards her mistress was very good, proper, and respectful. She left her service before my mistress died, at Martinmas, last year, and Betsy Robinson came in her place. Before she left her conduct had changed. She fre quently absented herself from the house in the evening, and upon occasions, when she was absent, John Graham has been absent also. Upon those occasions I have heard his voice in Mary Elliot's house, which is about fifty yards from our fold gate. I have heard his voice more than once in that house. I have not seen her go into the house on those occasions when I heard his voice. I told John Graham that people were talking about his going there. The house was blamed for clash—sometimes people call it backbiting. I have seen alterations in the conduct of Rickerby to Mrs. Graham in the prisoner's presence ; she has used language that did not become a servant. Sometimes he did and sometimes he did not reprove her for the language she used. When he reproved her, he said, " hold your tongue ;" nothing more. I remember one Sunday when he had a goose for dinner. Mrs. Graham had been at church that morning, and Margaret Rickerby remained at home. We all sat down to dinner, John Graham with the rest. Mrs. Graham said to Rickerby, " Margaret, I think you have pinched us of gravy—is there no more?" Rickerby went and provided some more, and when she brough+ back—John Graham was then sitting at the table. she set it down, and said, " D—n her, - that'll grease her guts ;" and she told her mistress on the same day that she had no more religion than an old sow. After this language Mrs. Graham removed her plate from the table, and went into another room, and had her dinner. She was very nervous at the time, all of a shake. The words had put her out of the way. John Graham remained and finished his dinner with me, Margaret Rickerby, and another servant, William Richardson, who left at Martinmas. Whilst we were at table, Rickerby said to Mrs. Graham that she was a laughing• stock to the whole village. Mrs. Graham was in the other room then, but John Graham heard it. During the dinner John Graham said, " Hold your tongue," and she said, " No, I'll not hold my tongue, she is a laughing-stock to the whole village." I told him she behaved very badly to her mis tress, and he said she had a very bad tongue. I remember Carlisle races. When John Graham came home to supper Rickerby came in, and John told her to get herself some sup per. She said she would never break her fast in the house again, because the mistress had removed the things off the table. The prisoner asked her what she meant by taking the things from the table. Mrs. Graham said she had removed nothing—there was nothing to remove but a pot. I went to bed, and did not hear any more. I first observed this sort of conduct on the part of Rickerby towards her mistress sometime before Midsum mer. During the autumn, and up to the time of my mistress's death, the prisoner was absent sometimes in the evenings, and Margaret Rickerby was absent also. Nine o'clock was bed time. Sometimes they came home before and some times after nine. I have sometimes gone to bed and left both out, but my mistress up. I saw Rickerby, after she left my mistress, at Candlemas hiring. I saw John Graham go across the street where she was standing and crack his fingers (witness cracked his finger and thumb). She crossed over to him, and they went together into Lowther-street. Up to the autumn Rickerby's conduct had always been very good to her mistress. Richard James—l am a physician in Carlisle. John Gra ham came to me a little after. four o'clock on the morning of the 3d of June. I was in bed, and he called me up. He asked me if his wife was going to be taken up that day, and I said I did not know anything about it. I said if it had been the case, it was most likely I should have known. He said if it was the case that she was taken up, he would be obliged to leave the place. He also said he had never done injury to any person in his life. I replied I was very sorry for him. He requested me not to mention to any one that he had called me up. I said it was quite impossible to keep it secret. It was broad daylight, and there were several per sons in the street. John Sabbage, examined by Mr. RAMSIIAY—I am super intendent of Carlisle police. I saw the prisoner on Thursday, the sth of June, about 200 yards on this side of his own house, at Kirkandrews. He asked me if it was true that they were going to lift his wife. I told him it was; that I was just going over to arrange about it the next day. He said, could they not see Mr. Carrick, and get the opinion of the doctors without lifting her, for if they did he could not stand it ? I told him I thought that would be no use now. He said, "If they do find poison, I did not do it." I saw him returning, and the same conversation was repeated. On the 9th, the Wednes day, about half-past three in the morning, I went to apprehend him. Ile said, " You are come to take me ?" I told him I had a warrant for him, and assisted to dress him. I read the warrant to him in the yard. . George Tinniswood, M.D.—I am a p hysician, p g ractt its Carlisle. I remember receiving from Sabbage, on the 28th of last June, a parcel purporti n g to contain the contents of some pockets. They consisted of some crumbs of bread wax, and a little woolly and matter,che e sseu,c such as eispfioeuenesdoi f se n th al e ing corner of a pocket. There was mixed amongst it a e hrystalline substance like fine sand. I kept the parcel till Monday, the 30th, when it was analysed by me in conjunction with Mr. Elliot, Dr. James, and Dr. Cartnell. We found that it contained arsenic, by the same experiments as were described by Mr. Elliot. It wai the oxide of arsenic, the arsenic of csanmerce. I received, on the 14th of last month, a waistcoat from Sabbage. Arsenic wa s found in each pocket. I heard Dr. Oliver's evidence. J u dging from the symptoms described by him, and the morbid disease found on dissection, I am of opinion that the arsenic bad been taken in repeated doses. After much other evidence, Mr. WILKINS addressed the jury for the prisoner, contend ing that if ever there was a case in which the facts were dis proportioned to the rumours, it was the case that had been de tailed that day. There WAS hardly 4 shadow of evidence to -~ . justify the charge against the prisoner. There had been no proof of improper intimacy between him and Rickerby ; and, if it had been substantiated, it only showed that he had no thing to gain from her, by the death of his wife, he having her already at his bidding. Out of the whole history of John Graham, only one instance had been found of reproach from the lips of his wife. All the circumstances alleged with re gard to his treatment of 'her were more in his favour tl an against him. The Learned JUDGE in summing up said—Before the Learned Counsel addressed them application had been made to him on what was called a point of law. He did not think it At to stop the case, for lie did not think there was anything in t point of law at all; but the Learned Counsel had properly re mirked that such an application ought not to prejudice his address to the facts of the case, fur undoubtedly, in a matter of doubt affecting the life of a client, it was the duty of the counsel to make the application if he thought it likely to be advan tageous. It was necessary to tell the jury what the charge against the prisoner was. It was that, knowing that his late wife, Margaret Graham, was about to take some bread and milk or that she was going to take some panada, or some medicine (any of these would be sufficient), he, contriving wickedly to poison her, mixed up with that bread, or that panada, or that medicine, or with all of them, a eertain quantity of deadly poison called arsenic ; and afterwards, she not knowing that there was any poison mixed up with the bread and milk, or the panada, or the medicine, or with all of them, swallowed it, and thereby, in consequence of that, died, either from taking first one and then the other, all of them being mixed with poison, or from taking any one of them so mixed. It was for the jury to be satisfied as to whether that charge had been proved. Such being the charge, then, what was the nature of the evidence by which it was sup ported? In any charge of death occasioned by poison, it was, from the nature of things, scarcely ever possible to have any direct testimony. It was said always to be the most odious kind of murder ; perhaps, among other reasons, that stamp was affixed on it because it was necessarily perpetrated in the dark, or, what was the same thing, in obscurity, with no eye to detect it, with no possibility of detecting it, but by circumstan tial evidence. If they were satisfied beyond all reasonable doubt that the prisoner did administer poison and cause the death of his wife, their oath, by which they swore to do their duty to their country, imperatively called upon them to return a verdict of guilty. But if the circumstances de tailed in the evidence, and the inferences fairly deduced from them, did not lead to that conclusion, he for one thought it would be an insult to them to suppose that anything they might have heard out of Court could induce them to commit The gross injustice of letting a man suffer, not for the evidence on which he was tried, and which he had the opportunity of answering and commenting on, but en what might have been said by irresponsible persons whom be had no opportunity of contradicting. They must now proceed to the discharge of their duty, and return a verdict according to what they consi dered to be the real nature of the case. The jury then retired, and afier an absence of little more than half an hour, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. August 8. FURTHER CHARGE AGAINST JOHN GRAHAM. . - Mr. Baron Rolfe took his seat on the bench at nine o'clock, and Mr. Temple having intimated to his Lordship that the prosecution had thought it necessary to go on with the second indictment against the prisoner, he was brought up at once, and the trial proceeded ; but after some evidence HIS LORDSHIP recapitulated the facts to the jury, and in so doing, appeared to express his view of the case to be, that it was not one upon which the jury could satisfactorily believe, without doubt, that the crime alleged had been perpetrated. The jury retired from the Court for somewhat less than a quarter of an hour, and returned a verdict of Acquittal. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, Auu. 10.--:The Fairy, tender to the ro) at yacht, Acting Master Commander R. W. Roberts, having.completed the necessary preparations for sea, left yesterday for Antwerp, to be in attendance upon her Majesty. The Cambrian, 36, Commodore Chads, was paid off yesterday. The Cambrian, considering she is is a new ship, is in a very deplorable condition. Her bowsprit is rotten, mainmast sprung, and her rib timbers i n a ver y u nsound state. She will require a must expensive refit before she can again be sent to sea. 'The Barretto Junior transport, which accompanied the discovery ships Erebus and Terror on their departure from England (under command of Captain Sir John Franklin), having proceeded with them as far as Whale fish Island, Disco, parted company with them on the 12th ult., and passed Spithead on her way to the Downs on Wednesday. The following is an extract of a letter received from her : " The Downs, August 7. I hasten to tell you of our arrival, not sorry at having turned our backs upon the frigid zone. We had a boisterous passage out, though not a long one, rounding Cape Farewell on the 23d and 24th of June, in a heavy gale of wind from, the S. E., in lat. 59 10 N., lon. 46 47 W. The discovery ships behaved gloriously ; there was no small sea on, for, high out of the water as we are, we had one of our dea d lights stove in. Two days after we entered Davis's Straits the weather became very fine, and we saw the stupendous mountains of West Green land, covered with ice and snow, also three large icebergs, which in a few days thickened on us, but fortunately we had generally leading winds, which enabled us to thread them without danger. We left our excellent and good friends of the discovery ships at Whalefish Island, Disco, on the 12th, all in good health and high spirits as to their future enterprise, full of hope as to their ultimate success. They are famously strong ships, well manned, and impossible to be better o ffi cered. We left them complete in full three years' provisions, stores, and feel, besides five bullocks, which we killed there for them. Our passage home has been a short one ; the first week we passed in Davis's Straits, in a heavy gale of wind and thick weather right up. We had both the land and the ice to keep clear of ; however, we got out untouched. The rest of the passage has been fine for a northern climate. The wind being fair from the N. E., we have come home by the English Channel, instead of as usual north about." THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—Letters have been re• ceivcd at Woolwich, dated her Majesty's ship Er, bus, Whalefish Islands, Davis's Strait, , , July 8, 1845, from one of which the following is Ln extract : " We are diseharging the transport as quickly as possible, for the season is far advanced and we are in a great hurry to get up the country • but we have plenty of time yet, if the weather keeps fine. We calculate on being absent two years and a half at most, unless we get through into the Southern Ocean, when it may be three or four years before we return. We are all well, and lam very happy. We have the best treatment, and one of the best of captains, and a good set of officers through out. The Barrett° Junior, the transport ship, sails the day after tomorrow (July 10) on her return. The naives here are civilised, and as shrewd at making a bargain as you or I would be in 'any transactions at home." The following general order relative to the Arctic ex pedition has been promulgated amongst the officers and men of the American navy : " GENERAL ORDER. " Information has been received at this department that her Britannic Majesty's ships Erebus and Terror are proceeding to make a further attempt for the accomplishment of a north west passage by sea from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. In compliance with the request of the British Government, communicated by her Majesty's Minister at Washington, and to the end that the Government of the United States may mani fest its interest in the effort to advance the bounds of human knowledge, all officers in the naval service of the United States are hereby authorised and directed to afford every assistance in their power, in case of need, to the commanders of these vessels in promotion of the object of the expedition. " GEORGE BANCROFT. " Naval Department, June 11." The Helena, 16, Commander Sir C. Ricketts, Bart., was at the Cape of Good Hope on the 20th of June, from a five months' cruize in the Mozambique Channel. On the 4th of April her pinnace, whilst cruizing be tween the port of Mozambique and Cape Delgado, under the command of Lieutenant Charles Codrington Forsyth, captured, after a short resistance (one man being severely wounded), an Arab dhow, with eighty three slaves bn board, and a crew of fourteen men, armed with spears, crecses, swords, and double-barrelled guns. The slaves were principally small children, who had been kidnapped at the Portuguese settlements on the coast by the Moors, and by them sold to the Arabs, who take them to Muscat. The boat, on her way to rejoin the Helena, unfortunately lost seven of her best men from a sort of yellow fever. The dhow was such a wretched craft that she was sunk soon after her capture, not being in a fit state to send to an English colony, and the slaves put on board the Helena. The Athol troop-ship, Master-Commander Pearce, progresses very favourably in her equipments for sea, and will be ready in a few days. The Neptune, 120, is expected shortly to be commis sioned at this port to supersede the Victory as ordinary guard ship. The Kingfisher, 12, Scourge steam-sloop, and Isar. lequin, 16, are all ready for the pendant. The Admiralty would do well to commission a ship forthwith at this and the eastern ports to pick up the seamen lately paid off from the Alfred, 50, and Cam brian, 36. at Portsmouth ; and Scout, 16, and Ferret, 10, at the eastward. Jack will soon have spent his money, and be in want of another ship, and the hands thus at liberty are good serviceable Men, and worth preserving to the service. PROMOTIONS.
