A few days previous to the elopement the parties gave notice to Mr. Slee, the master of the workhouse, that they intended to leave the workhouse, and accordingly did so. How they raised the wind is not known, but the fact is that they set off on foot upwards of 30 miles to Gretna, and on arriving there found that they had little or no cash to pay the officiating priest, who asked a sum twenty times more in amount than what they were possessed of, and persisted thatjhe would not marry them tor a far thing less. However, Felix Lough, in a most melancholy strain, explained that his wife was dead, that Mary Jackson's husband was also dead, that they were both paupers belong ing to Penrith Union workhouse, and becoming quite con vulsed, and letting flow a flood of tears over his wrinkled cheeks, in the most affecting manner exclaimed—" For good ness sake do marry us, for Mary Jackson was the first sweet heart that I ever had, aye, long before I was married to my first poor wife, but then she would not have me; now she has - consented to be my wife. 01 do marry us." " Yes, yes, it is all true, do wed us," said Mary Jackson. The priest was moved with compassion; he married them. Soon afterwards they set off on their return to Penrith on foot, and on their arrival there they were fool sore and completely dished up, and not having a place where to lay their heads, they e'en applied to Mr. Armstrong, the relieving officer, for an order into the workhouse again, who, according to the present. state of the poor-law, was obliged to give them an order, and now the new married couple, in accordance with the same law, are spending their honeytnoon in the workhouse, apart from each other.—Carlisle Patriot. TERRA-COTTA TABLETS FOR TOMBSTONES.—In turning over the leaves of a new work on pottery and porce lain, we are incidentally led into the reflection that the ancients almost anticipated and stole from us au idea, ex clusively, as we had thought—namely, that terra-cotta—a sort of pottery, in fact—would be an excellent, because a cheap and durable, material for funereal monuments or tomb stones, for the poorer classes, if inscribed with the names and genealogical correlations of the dead before exposure to the pottery fire. And we must here further strengthen the argu. meat against the virgin novelty of our own suggestion by a brief allusion to a recent discovery of ancient customs, still more to the point than any, it may be, to be gathered from known records, even when the volume alluded to was written. In the Ethnological sub-section of the British Association, lately, Major Rawlinson stated that Mr. Layard had, at Kor jinyik, penetrated into a chamber which appeared to he of the same class as the "house of records" noticed by the pro phet Ezra, where was found the copy of a decree of Cyrus, permitting the Jews to return from captivity. In this chamber Mr. Layard found, in terracotta, tables piled up from the floor to the ceiling, and representing apparently the archives of the Assyrian empire during the long historical succession. Mr. Layard had packed, by the last accounts, five cases' for transport to England; and these only occupied one small corner of the apartment. Here, then, we find that terra cotta tablets inscribed with everlasting records, like Job's writing with a pen of iron in the rock, so far from being a novelty, are as old as any of the oldest records 'of human ingenuity.—Builder. SERIOUS ACCIDENT FROM A MAD nULLOCK.— Yesterday morning, while a bullock was being driven along Cross-causeway, Edinburgh, to the cattle• market, it broke away from the persons who were iu charge of it, tossed a little girl up in the air, knocked a man over, who could not get out of the way in time, and rushing up to an old woman who was sitting at. her apple-stand, disposed of her and her wares in precisely the same manner. The infuriate beast then espied a drove of cattle, also proceeding to market, a short way in advance, and immediately adding himself to the ranks, was quietly driven to his destination. In regard to the parties injured, we believe none of them were seriously hurt except the old woman, who was immediately afterwards con veyed to a neighbouring druggist's, where her wounds were properly dressed, and ale is 'now progregoing ftwourably.7 North .13ritish ;fait, THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING ; AUG UST 81, 1850. Early in the afternoon a guard of honour of the 93d Highlanders, consisting of one captain, two sub alterns, and SO men, with the Queen's colour and band, was in attendance at Holyrood Palace. Fifty men of the Royal Artillery, with arms, and two officers, also took part in the procession. A party of the Royal Archers, under the command of the Earl of Morton, was stationed in front of the palace, with the colours end the fine band of the corps. Bailie Rogers, and the High Constables of Holyrood, took up a position close by the main en trance of the palace. The High Constables of the city, headed by Mr. Mackie, the Moderator, attired in a full court dress, were also in attendance. The magistrates of Canongate, in their robes of office, and the constables of the same burgh, and of Easter and Wester Portsburgh, under Baillies Stevenson and Scott, were also on duty. Upon the arrival of the royal coraige, her Ma jesty and Prince Albert, with the other members of the Royal Family, alighted from the royal car riage. Mr. Rutherford, W.S., deputy-keeper of Holyrood, in the absence of the Duke of Hamilton from indisposition, was present to receive the Queen. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, having again recognised the Duke of Buccleuch, heartily shook hands with his Grace as they entered the gate way. In the quadrangle and colonnade of the palace were a select and distinguished party of the nobi lity and gentry, who greeted her Majesty and Prince Albert with silent and respectful homage. The Lord Prevost, Sir William Gibson Craig, M. Mavison, French Consul, and the Hon. B. F. PriMrose, were also present. Her Majesty then retired to the state apartments, and the royal standard now floating above the en trance gate announces to the citizens of E linburgh that Holyrood is again tenanted by a Sovereign. became dull and uncertain in the course of the fore noon, but, notwithstanding the threatening aspect of the sky, the enthusiasm of the inhabitants would not be damped, and they continued to flock in great numbers to the Queen's Park. About two o'clock the clouds passed oti; and the sun shone brightly out from a blue sky. Having thus described the scene which awaited her Majesty's arrival in her ancient capital, we pro ceed to chronicle the stages of the Royal progress northwards as they were transmitted to Edinburgh from time to time by electric telegraph. Her Majesty left Castle Howard about nine o'clock, arrived at York—a distance of about twenty miles—at twenty minutes from eleven, at Darlington at thirty-five minutes past eleven, at Belmont at twenty minutes past noon, and at Newcastle-on- Tyne at one o'clock. Here the approach of the Royal train was made known about fifteen minues before its appearance, by a salute from the guns of the ancient Norman Castle, so long " the bridle of the Scots," in their forays into England. Scarcely had the wreaths of smoke cleared off from the grim old Keep, when the train was seen gliding slowly along from Gateshead across the High Level Bridge, towards the new Central Station. In waiting for the arrival of the royal carriage was the Earl Grey, who conducted her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Prince cf Wales, to a room where refresh ments had been laid out for the royal party. Fully fifteen minutes were spent here, when the royal travellers again entered Ceeir carriages, and the train proceeded northwards. The Central Station, the High Level Bridge—in fact, every spot whence a view of her Majesty could be obtained—were crowded with spectators; and loud, long, and often renewed, were the cheers which burst forth from the multitudes as her Majesty alighted. The morning was fine on the whole, though here, as at Edinburgh, the sky was occasionally overclouded. The royal carriage left Newcastle at twenty-five minutes past one o'clock, and, passing Morpeth and Warkworth, " proud of Percy's fatne," arrived at Lesbury, near Alnwick, at half-past two o'clock. Belford—distant from Newcastle fifty-one miles, and from Berwick -on-the-Tweek iigeen miles—was reached at three o'clock. Her Majesty arrived at Berwick at 3.30, and re mained till 3.28. Addresses to her Majesty and Prince Albert were presented by Captain smith, the Zilayor, who was presented to her Majesty by Sir George Grey. Her Majesty then left the carriage and proceeded along the platform to the quadrangle at the end, accompanied by Prince Albert on the left, who was uncovered, and by George Leman, Esq., chairman of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway Company. Four of the royal children followed, behind whom were Earl Grey, Sir George Grey, the Mayor and Sheriff of Berwick, the Countess Grey, Lady Grey, and other ladies. Having arrived at the quadrangle at the end of the platform, her Ma jesty was pleased to express her admiration of the bridge :and surrounding scenery, and intimated her desire that the viaduct should be called the " Royal Border Bridge." It was spanned by an arch, over which was incribed in large letters, " The last act o the Union." (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) EDINBURGH, FRIDAY. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort at an early hour this morning ascended to the summit of Arthur's Seat. The Prince at one o'clock ]aid the foundation stone of the proposed National Gallery, and the cere mony, which attracted an immense concourse of spectators, was very imposing. In the afternoon her Mej:sty visited the splendid new hospital founded by the late Mr. Donaldson in the suburbs of the city for the education of 300 desti tute children. She was most enthusiastically re ceived on her route. The lady of the Mayor, the Sheriff and his lady, Lieutenant• Colonel Wellesley, and lady and eldest -son of Sir George Grey, were then presented to her Majesty by the Home Secretary. The royal party then returned to the train, where they resumed their carriages. Sir George Grey accompanied her Ma jesty as Secretary of State. Earl Grey and the Countess:remained behind, the Earl having to attend a public dinner at Berwick this afternoon. Her Majesty was loudly cheered. The weather was fine until the departure of the train, when a few drops of rain began to fall. It was expected, from an official communication received by Mr. Sheriff Gordon last night from Sir George Grey, that her Majesty would reach Edin burgh at a quarter to four o'clock ; but the royal train did not make its appearance till a few minutes past five o'clock. The Royal Archers, the Queen's Body Guard for Scotland, had arrived at the royal landing-place shortly before three o'clock, headed by his Grace the Duke of Buccleucb, on horsebuck, in the uniform of the honourable corps, and wearing the green ribband of the Order of the Thistle., The guard of honour of the 93d Highlanders was drawn up opposite the gate way with the band of the lath Light Dragoons on their right. The cavalry escort was stationed on the left, towards the entrance to the Queen's Park. Various telegraphic messages were received in the company's station at Meadowbank, respecting the progress of the royal party to Edinburgh. The royal train was telegraphed as having left Dunbar— where the Duchess of Roxburghe and many others were in waiting as her Majesty passed—at eighteen minutes past four o'clock. The directors of the North British Railway, ac companied by Mr. Sheriff Arkley, left Edinburgh to receive her Majesty at Berwick this morning, at half past ten o'clock. They left Berwick, on their return to this city, at twenty• five minutes past three o'clock, preceding the royal train by five minutes. The first intimation of the approach of her Majesty was the arrival of the special train from Berwick with the directors, which reached Meadowbank a few minutes before five o'clock. The royal train made its appearance at Meadow bank about five minutes past five o'clock, and was greeted with loud acclamations by the assembled spec tators, ho were accommodated in the windows of the buildings at Meadowbank and on the neighbour ing eminences. The royal engine, which is one of the most powerful in the company's service, was decorated in a superb and tasteful style. It is the same that was used on a similar occasion last year, and displayed in front a semicircular arch of wood, bearing in gilded letters the inscription-a-" God save the Queen,' and having a magnificent star suspend e d f rom it s centre. This arch, with another behind, was sur mounted by a large and splendid royal crown, resting on a-beauti ful cushion of crimson velvet. The motto, " Long live the Royal Family," was displayed cn one side of an elliptical arch, which extended longitudinally alongthe engine, ha v i ng a l so en t h e reverse s id e , ‘S Success to the British empire." This arch was surmounted by a floral crown, basing a S. etch thistle on each . side, a n d th e i nit i a l l etters " V. A." at the extrenuty. Tw o b eaut if u l stars were sus pended from the centre of the arch, and by the tassteful addition of shrubs and evergreens a pleasing and superb effect was produced. The ; tender was decorated with festoons of crimson velvet, with yel low tassels, displayed on framework, and interspersed with flowers. The crown and decorations were the workmanship of the men in the employment of the company at St. Margaret's station, and reflected great credit on their taste and skill. The pilot engine was adorned with evergreens, and displayed in front a floral crown. There were waiting on the platform to receive her Majesty the Duke of Buccleuch, Lord-Lieutenant of the county of Edinburgh ; Major-General Sir James Commandi ng ;the Forces in Scotland, and a t Staff; al so Sheriff Gordon, John Lear mouth,llbriidlldieain' Esq., of Dean, Chairman of the North British Railway Company, and a number of the directors. Her Majesty and Prince Albert occupied a splen did saloon carriage, in which were the Prince of %Vales and. Prince Alfred. Her Majesty was at tired in a dress of deep mourning, as were also Prince Albert and the Royal children. The Princess Royal and the Princess Alice, travelled in a separate carriage, under the charge of the Marchio ness of Douro, and the Hon. Miss Lennox. Her Majesty on alighting from the royal carriage, was received by Sir George Grey. The Duke of Buc cleuch was immediately recognised by the Queen, who remarked to his Grace that it was a fine after noon. Her Majesty having bowed her ackn o wledgments to Mr. Learmouth, Chairman of the North British Railway Company, ascended with Prince Albert the flight of steps leading to the royal carriage, which was lined by the Royal Archers. The dffe ren t mem ber s of the Royal Family followed. Her M a j es t y an d Prince Albert occupied one side of th e r o y a l carriage, and the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal sat opposite. , The royal cortege moved off, headed by M r . Sh er iff Gordon and J. A. Campbell, Esq., Sheriff-Clerk, in a handsome barouch and pair , followed by a detach , and Lord me formed the ntof thel3thLight Dragoons. The Royal Archers body guard around the r oya l carriage. The Duke of Buecleuch and Major-Ge neralEl eil° walked Riddell rode by immediately thesida of the royal carriage. The royal party were greeted with hearty applause by the distinguished party on Mr. Mitchell Innes' platform, among whom the venerable figure of the Lord Justice-General was conspicous. Her Majesty, on emerging into the park from the Ab bey hill -road, seemed impressed with the magni ficence of the scene before her. She was hailed with an enthusiastic burst of acclamation from the multitudes in the park. The Queen and Prince Al bert seemed to feel deeply this loyal expression of ho mage, 2nd testified their gratification by repeated ac kn3wledgments. The shouts of welcome were caught' up by the more distant crowds, and echoed from peak to peak of the surrounding hills. Every 5.112. cessiye stage in the royal progress witne3sd the same manifestations of enthusiastic feeling, till the arrival of the Queen at the gates of Holyrood, where she arrived at nineteen minutes past five o'clock precisely. Her approach was announced by a royal salute from the Castle. Her Majesty and the Prince were observed b t with rtyh Crags, on the fine itructures that adorn 45 summit, on the others e re peatedly to remark the more i prominent features of the scenery. The dark and irregular ma ss o f t h e Old Town at once arrested the attention of the royal party, who afterwards glanced . with appare n t i n t eres t o eat n e the i precipitou s side, and theC sweepaton Hill,Sa taken out of dock to-day, and the Buzzard steam-sloop taken in to have her bottom coppered. A trial took place on Wednesday last, by order of the Lords of the Admiralty, with Captain the Hon. W. E. Fitzmaurice's gun carriage, on board her Majesty's ship Excellent, at Portsmouth, in pregenco 01 Cap tain Chads, Sir William Wiseman, and several naval officers. The carriage stood all the severe tests it was subjected to with full service charges for the eight-inch gun, without the smallest sign of anything giving way. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS, FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—On Wednesday evening, at 9 o'clock, the possibility of communicating between France and Eng land by electric telegraph was practically established. Early in the morning of that day the projectors of the great enterprise sailed from Dover in the steam-ship Goliab with a quantity of the electric line on board, and steered for Cape Grisnez, on the opposite coast of France. As they proceeded they saok - the line, taking care to communicate with Dover at intervals by electric agency, in order to test the value of their work as they went. Each experiment was in turn successful. The connexions were well secured, and at 9 o'clock in the I evening intelligence was forwarded across the bottom of the Chennel from Cape Grisiacz to Dover that the task had been accomplished. Instantaneous communica tion between England and France by electric agency may, even while we write, be actually taking place: It requires a shorter time for the altuel transit of a message from London to the French coast than is necessary for tracing upon paper the shortest word in the English language. Some three thousand years ago Homer talked of " winged" words; we doubt if even he imagined they would ever cleave their way through space at such a rate as this. The electric telegraph appears to us more like a miracle than any scientific discovery or mechanical achievement of cur time. Assume the steam-engine, and railroads are a mere question of finance. Even so magnificent an operation as the completion of the tubular bridge across the Mcnai Straits does not affect the mind with a sensation of wonder. What power was requisite to raise a given weight? What material could best en dure the strain of the traffic? How could it be most effectually laid down?—how best supported by the single arch or from above. Such a work is in its way no doubt astounding from the combination of forces brought to beer in order to obtain a certain result, but they are all forces with which we are perfectly familiar. Now the in troduction of electric communication is but of the other day. We had scarcely taught ourselves to acquiesce in the idea that instantaneous communication between two points on solid land was a mere matter of course than it was gravely proposed to drop the communicating lino and transmit intelligence along the bottom of the ocean. The jest or sche4ne of yestereday has become the fact of to-day. The wildest exaggeration of an Arabian tale has been outdone by the simple achieve ment of modern times. The consequences of the electric telegraph must be as important as the agency by which they are obtained is wonderful. Great excitement pre vailed throughout Europe when the first balloon carried up an adventurer into the skies. But there was no com parison between each an achievement and the present. Even the most enthusiastic projectors must have enter tained certain doubts us to the practical value of their aeronautic expedition. In tke ease of the submarine electric telegraph, the first and obvious effect of this in stantaneous communication between to two most civilized and powerful nations of the world will be to unite them so closely in community of interests as to secure their co-operation in all designs that may pro mote the advancement of humanity and maintain the peace of the world. In a groat measure this has been already effected by a mode of communication which re quired at least a certain number of hours. But with the electric telegraph across the Channel, communication with Paria is not even a question of seconds. At pre sent no doubt - a message must be forwarded to Dover; at Dover a delay will take place, another at Cape Gris as z, and so on through France; but these are mere points of detail now that the chain of communication has been carried across the bed of the ocean. Some few ar rangements are all that is requisite in order to render a sustained conversation between two persons, the one in London, the other in Paris, not merely a possibility, but a fact. CHRONICLE.—The history of the Great Northern Railway Company—which, within the last few weeks, has virtually restored a considerable portion of the traffic between the northern and southern extremities of Eng land to the old line of communication, viz., the " Great North Road" of traditional celebrity—certainly forms one of the most extraordinary episodes even in the an nals of English railway enterprise. In 1844, when the disposable space of many metropolitan and provincial journals was pretty nearly absorbed by the gigantic ad vertisements of a new and iddependent line of railway between London and York, most of those who con • sidered themselves possessed of something beyond the average share of shrewdness were disposed to look upon the entire project as a capital joke. It was acknowledged that the scheme looked all very well on paper, and that it made an extremely good show in a prospectus; but as to the thing being done—as to the actual performance of a railway journey by Barnet, Peterborough, and NeW ark, into the very heart of Yorkshire—that was one of those contingencies which seemed to be so unlikely that it might be safely dealt with as a myth. Most people are aware how those early opinions have losen gradually falsified. It is no part of our present purpose to enter into the details of the narrative. We have no immediate concern either with that greatest of Parliamentary battles which, during the space of nearly half a year, was carried on before a Committee of the blouse of Commons by the London and York Company and its legion of adversa ries, or with the execution of those vigorous measures which, even during the gloomiest portion of our experi ence since 1845, hare kispt the works on this line of rail way in a state of progressive activity. We are quite ready, however, to bestow the commendation which has been so fairly earned by the conductors of this great na tional work. We are perfectly sensible that from the very commencement of their operations there have be en a unity, a discretion, a perseverance, and an amount of adminis trative skill displayed in nearly the whole of their pro ceedings, which stand out in the boldest contrast to the reckless and imbecile systems of management which have conducted many similar enterprises to infamy and ruin. The Great Northern Company has, emphatically, been saved from shipwreck by the character and the skill of its principal leaders—that is the whole secret. Any scheme of management less cautious, less temperate, less honest, or less able than th a t w hi c h they have adopted, would long ago have carried the project of 1344 and 1845 into the inexorable lento's which has swallowed so many of the abortions, the follies, and the conspiracies of that period. The meeting of the Great Northern Company on Thursday last was in the highest degree satisfactory. Mr. Denison is not a kind of chairman whose pteience is propitious to mere exhibitions. It is quite clear to those who bear him that he places his constituents very nearly on a level with himself as to the secrets of the eompany. Very wisely for himself, and very fortunately for his railway, he has extremely few secrets to tell. Ho has hap• pily had a very limited share of experience in the diplo macy of railway superintendence. The Great Northern Company, unlike some of its contemporaries, is not in the habit of effecting hairbreadth escapes from the fangs of jesuitical agreements; nor does it enjoy the habitual good fortune of accomplishing, once or twice in the half year, unparalleled successes in its negotiations or alliances with surrounding companies. Mr. Denison, therefore, is reduced to the necessity of speaking upon perfectly intelligible topics, iti perfectly plain language; and we must be allowed to say that, whenever a similar simplicity of procedure shall le introduced into the public meetings of other railway companies, the alteration will be as creditable to the common sense as it will certainly be conducive to the general interests of those concerned. Mr. Denison very properly pointed out that no fair inference oneht to be drawn from the present traffic returns of this line, because hitherto not even the whole of the passenger trains are at work, nor has any portion of the mineral traffic between the northern counties and the metropolis been yet commenced. He conceives, with justice, that perhaps the greatest strength of the new line will be in the last-named brench of trade. Coals are now sold in London at something like 245. a ton for the first qualities; but once set the coal waggone on the Great Northern fairly in motion, and it is a very moderate supposition that the same commodity may be equally well afforded for 15 or 20 per cent, less money. Now every material reduction in the cost of such a prime necessary of life as coal is to Under city popula tion, acts in a geometrical ratio upon thedemand. the influence of low prices, false grates assume their normal dimensions, and fuel is purchased, even by the very poor, in hundred weights instead of ounces; and the parties. who have introduced a revolution . of this kind into the domestic economy of the population, will ever find, to their own eminent advantage, that one of the speediest paths to wealth is that which increases demand by first establishing cheapness. Tak ing into account the force of these considerations, we dare say that Mr. Denison, in the course of his life, has predicted many things much less likely to happen than that the Great Northern Company will be fully able to pay a dividend of 5 per cent. While the Great Nor thern shareholders were discussing their affairs in per fect good humour and in perfectly intelligible language, at the Loudon Tavern, the Norfolk Railway Com pany were engaged at Guildhall-buildings in dis secting their half -yearly report, and in wrangling over the paragraphs in a very different style. In discus sing yesterday the case of the Bristol and Exeter Company we animadverted upon the mischievous effect of these railway disputations, and upon the ruinous influence, as regards certain classes of rail way property, of the damaging disclosures which some companies seem to delight in thrusting upon the public. Very much the same thing occurred at the Norfolk meeting on Thursday last. Major Court— a gentlemen who is, it appears, employed as auditor— has taken a fancy to promulgate an origin exposition of the past, pi teent, and future condition of the Norfolk Company. So far as the facts are at present revealed, we can Willi no other opinion about the matter than that he has dune either a very good thing. or is very bad one; and it seems to be tolerably clear that be must either say a great deal more, or that he ought to hare said a great deal less. Among other alleged discoveries, Major Court conceives that he can make iaapparent that a Preference Five-and-a-Half per Cent. Stock to the extent of 105,000/. has been wrongfully created, and, as a necessary consequence, that a certain number of per sons, who have invested their money in this particular stock upon the faith of the Norfolk Company as pledged by the directors, will find themselves suddenly dragged down, from a comparatis - ely secure position, into the agitated and uneasy mass who at present constitute the general body of proprietors of this line. In the present stage of this dispute, we say nothing of the plausibility of Major Court's case against the 51 per cen t, h o ld ers ; b ut we can h ave no difficulty P9luting %it t.llOl i discuorio and dingnim NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE MEDITERRANEAN.—We have correspondence from Malta to the 22d instant, at which date there was no man-of-war in the port with the exception of the Growler, 6, steam•frigate, Commander Stoddart, under orders to proceed that morning to Marseilles, to convey the Nepaulese Ambassador and suite to Naples or Mes sina and Alexandria, en route to Nepaul. The Commander-in-Chief, Vico-Admiral Sir William Parker, Bart., G.C.8., transferred his flag from the Fire brand, 6, steam-frigate, Captain Knox, to the Queen, 117, Captain Wise, on the 15th instant, that ship having arrived at Malta on the 15th, and filled up her water tanks, and on the 17th the Admiral in the Queen, towed out of harbour by the Scourge, 6, steam-sloop, Com mander Lord F. Kerr, rejoined his fleet and having re sumed the chief command from Captai❑ the Hon. R. S. Dundas, C. 8., of the Powerful, proceeded to cruise off the coat of Sardinia, the fleet being composed of the following:— Queen, 116 guns, 970 men, Commander C. Wise. Ualedonis, 120 guns, 1,000 men, Commander Carter. Powerful, 84 guns, 750 men, Commander Dundas, C. 13. Ganges, 84 guns, 750 men, Commander H. Smith, C.B. Superb, 80 guns, 750 men, Commander Purcell. Beileropholi, 78 guns, 650 men, Com. T. Baynes, C.B. STEAMERS. Hogue (screw), 60 guns, 500 men, Corn. Macdougall. Terrible, 21 guns, 300 men, Commander J. Hope, C.B. Firebrand, 6 guns, 200 men, Commander Knox. Scourge, 6 guns, 160 men, Commander Lord Kerr. Of these, however, the Bellefophon is ordered to Devonport to be paid off, and the Hogue is ordered to Spithead, but the Encounter, 12, steam-corvette, Captain Gordon, was expected to join Sir W. Parker's fleet. The Frolic, 16, Commander Vansittart, arrived at Smyrna, August 3, from Syria, Rhodes, and Cyprus; and sailed on the 11th for Vourlah and the coast of Macedonia, communicating with the British consulates. The Racer, 12, Commaeder , Beddoes, has been left at the lonian Islands, in charge of that division of the sta tion, in the absence of the Growler. The Vo!age, 22, surveying -vessel, Captain Graves, with her tenders, Auxiliar, and Research, were at Canes and at Scarpanto. As we formerly stated, the Volage is ordered to Malta and England, to be paid off. The Spiteful, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Sir T. Car michael, Bart., remained at Naples. The Antelope, 3, :team-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Smyth, arrived at Rhodes, August 9, from Smyrna. Her station is the Bosphorus. The Spitfire, Lieutenant-Commander Bathurst, em• ployed instead of the Medusa, under repair, at Malta, represents the British naval forces at the Piraeus. The other men of war in the Mediterranean are the Ceylon, depot-ship, with the flog of Rear-Admiral Su perietendent Harvey; the Medina, steam-packet, Lieu tenant-Commander Harvey (pro tem.), waiting to convey the mail from Alexandria to Marseilles, expected by the Oberon steam-packet, Lieutenant-Commander Cardiner; Merlin, steam-packet, Lieutenant. Commander Turner, expected at, Malta from Marseilles with th e ou t war d India mail; and Triton, 3, steam•vessel, Lieutenant- Commander Glinn, expected at Malta from the lonian Islands. A letter from Suda Bay (Cense), dated Ist August, says :—" A Turkish squadron arrived off Canes on Sun day evening, and anchored in Sirda Bay on Monday morning. It consists of two line-of•battle ships, a three and a two decker, the letter bearing the flag of the Capitan Paella; three frigates, two of them large double banked ships, one bearing the flag of Mustapba Pacha; a small steamer, and a cutter. They have come, I be lieve, from the coaot of Albania, arid will in all proba bility remain here for a fortnight." Alecto, steam-sloop, to be repaired at Woolwich, will be four months under the hands of the dockyard people. The renewing of this old steamer will cost at least 6,0001., or two-thirds as much as would construct a steamer that would carry twice the armament that the Alecto has ever c2.rried. Tho repairing this ship is literally throwing good money after bad. Apollo, 8, troop-ship, Commander Rawstorne, will be ready to come out of dock at Portsmouth on the 7th September, and will be ready for sea by the 10th. Crane, 6, packet-brig, Lieutenant Commander Par sons, having been completed at Davenport, moved into the Sound, and has sailed for Falmouth, to be in readi ness to convey the mails of the 6th Sept. to Brazil. Dauntless, 24, screw-frigate, Csptain Halsted, will be completed by the engineers' department by the 7th Sept. She gets a man or two occasionally, but would soon be tilled up if she had a crew assigned to her proportionate to the size of the ship. Drowon, 6, steam-fri ,, ate, Captain H. W. Gifford, is scarcely more than 111f-a-rlezen petty officers short. She will be ready to go to Spithead by the 4th Sept., and will be ready ,or sea the day after. She is com plete except in armament. Fox, 42, Commodore Lambert, will be ready to go to Spithead on Monday, and will be ready to proceed to the Dist Indies by the 6th September. Plumper, 12, screw-sloop, Commander Nolloth, when she got on shore on the north side of the Gut of Ana polis, received such injuries as to debar her from using her steam power. Her rudder was wrung off, she lost 30 feet of false keel, and rcade four inches water an hour. Portland, 50, Captain Chads, fitting at Devonport for the flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Moresby, is ordered to have a poop. She will not be out of the hands of the dockyard before the middle of October. We had much rather, if a frigate had been decided upon, that such a ship as the America had been preferred. Retribution, 22, steam-frigate, Captain Warden, will be out of the hands of the shipwrights on the 7 th Septem ber, and will be ready to go to Spithearl about the 15th. She is a score of blue jackets short. The chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Salkeld, is on leave of absence to the 21st September. St. George, 120, to be commissioned at Devonport, this day, will be completed by the dockyard on the sth of September. Spiiynx, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Shadwell, left Simon's Bay for China, June 12. Wasp, screw-sloop, at Woolwich, will be out of the hands of the dockyard by September 30. Vengeance, 84, Captain Sir E. M. Blackwood, Bart., will be completed by the dockyard at Portsmouth by the 11th September. Victoria and AlLert, 6, Captain Lord A. Fiteclarence, G.C.H., will be laid up to-day at Portsmouth, when the officers will be shifted to the Royal George; and her crew of riggers, about 40 seamen, will return to their duty in the dockyard. The officers had their parting dinner on Thursday. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The Board of Admiralty, which arrived 'wit night, commenced their perambula tions in the dockyard at ten o'clock this morning, es corted by Admiral Superintendent Prescott and the chief officers of the establishment. After lunching at the Port Admiral's they proceeded on board the Excel lent to witness the discipline and practice of that ship. They dined in the evening with Admiral Superintendent Prescott, C.B. On Monday the First Lord will hold a levee at the Royal Naval College, and give audiences to those officers aho have not seen him in London this year. Before concluding their inspection they will visit the Channel Islands, and probably Cherbourg. The Lightning steam-vessel, Mr. Petley, master com manding, arrived this morning from Woolwich. The Furious, new steam-sloop, was taken into the argie dock to-day to have her tile removed and the holes plugged up, &o. The Fairy and Elfin royal yN,clita are stripping in the Lasin to be laid up for the winter. The Elfin requires new pistons. CITATHADI, AUG. M.—Lieutenant Richard Williams is appointed to the ordinary gli.td-ship at this port, in lieu of Lieutenant Thomas Woods, appointed to the LinzareUo as superintendent of the Quarantine Service, Standgate. The Poictiers, 72, ordinary guard-ship for many years at this port, was put out of commission this day, and the Cumberland, 70, fitting fur the ordinary guard-ship, will be commissioned on Saturday, the 31st, by Captain Peter Richards, C. 8., Captain-Superintendent of this yard, hoisting his flag on board as a service line-of battle ship. Twenty caulkers have been sent from this yard to Deptford to assist caulking the Leopard steam-sloop, building at that yard. WOCPUTFA Ave, 30m4)19 geyser otemaillpop HER MAJESTY'S ARRIVAL IN EDINBURGH. (From a Second Edition of the Edieurgh Evening Courant of Thursday.) Since the memorable visit of George IV. to Edin burgh, in 1822, or the more recent visit of her Ma jesty twenty years later, no event in our civic annals has excited such general interest in the Scottish metropolis as the expected sojourn brief as it is to be—of Queen Victoria in the palace of her an cestors, at Holyrood. The residence amongst us of a Sovereign so beloved, is an event that will be remembered for generations, as marking her Majesty's attachment to Scotland, and her confidence in the hereditary loyalty of the Scottish nation. The arrival of the royal party this afternoon was ex pected, therefore, with enthusiasm ; and the latter part of the day was generally observed as a holiday in honour of the occasion—the shops being shut, while dense crowds in their best attire flocked from all quarters to the long-forsaken " Court- end" of the city. The station at Meadowbank, about a quarter of a mile from Holyrood Palace (now to be named " The Queen's Station,") on the line of the North British Railway, was selected—(on the suggestion, we be hove, of the Lord Provost)—as an appropriate land ing-place for the royal party, and the requisite ar rangements were consequently made for her Majesty's arrival by the directors of the North British Railway Company. Its chief advantage consists in its being in the neighbourhood of the palace, which is easy of access, with ou t th e pr essure an d incon venience of a crowded thoroughfare. The royal demesne of the Queen's Park (the right of forestry over which, once exercised by the Earl of Hadding ton, has recently been acquired by purchase by the Commissioners of ',Voods and Forests) extends to within a few yards of the landing-place at Meadow bank. The lower part of the Queen's Drive, formed on the site of the old Duke's Walk, affords an excel lent carriage road to Holyrood Palace. The preparations made for the reception of her _Majesty in this quarter were in general marked by an absence of laboured " pomp and circumstance," though they were of an elegant and tasteful de scription. The character of the royal visit was such as to dispense with extensive or ostentatious•display, although there were not wanting everywhere ex pressive symbols of the popular regard. The land ing platform is about one hundred yards west of the tunnel below the Portobello-road, and on the south side of the railway. It is ninety-seven feet in length and ten feet broad, and was covered with crimson cloth. Immediately in the centre is the vestibule lead ing to the spacious flight of steps by which her Ma jesty was conducted to the royalcarriage in waiting on the Abbeyhill-read, close by Parsonsgreen. The vesti bule was roofed by an elegant timber canopy, finished in front to resemble festoons of drapery. The royal crown surmounted the centre, with the letters V. A. on each side. The neighbouring slope was fenced by light frame-work, and decorate' with heather; and at the entrance to the flight of steps, on each side, two elegant pedestals were places, bearing urns filled by splendid exotics, in the full luxuriance of flower. The interior of the landing gallery, or pa vilion, had a superb and tasteful appearance. The roof was finished in the style of an Arabian tent, by graceful festoons of white and pink drapery. Be tween each column the pink drapery assumed the form of an Arabian arch; and the pillars themselves were finished with pink, fluted white. The steps, which were divided into two series, were laid with crimson cloth from end to end ; but the carpet placed for her Majesty to walk from the railway train to the royal carriage was formed of what is called " the Stewart hunting tartan." The pavilion was open at the sides, and was separated from the neighbouring green slopes by a neat rustic rail ing. The steps were lined on each side between the pillars by a superb collection of exotic plants from the conservatories of the Duke of Buccleuch and other noblemen and gentlemen. The old gate way closing upon the road was entirely removed, and its place filled by a splendid crimson curtain, hung with much taste, and forming an appropriate ter mination to the beautiful vista of the interior. The gateway whence the Queen emerged to the royal carriage was spanned by a graceful arch, decorated with bay leaves, and dahlias interspersed. It was surmounted by a floral crown, with an anchor sus pended ; and displayed on each side the initials V. A. in flowers. The effect of the whole was striking— the bright hues of the dahlias presenting a pleasing contrast to the sombre green. The decorations of the works at St. Margaret's were rather more limited than last year. Various buildings displayed floral emblems and devices, and the numerous flags which waved from their summits imparted an aspect of gaiety to the whole. The most prominent object was an immense crown of ever greens and flowers erected near the line. The ordi nary engines and trains were also decorated in every variety of style. Emerging from the landing gallery, the first ob- ject that attracted the attention was the tasteful and beautiful gallery erected in the grounds of Parsons green by A. Mitchell Lines, Esq. The front dis played a series of five Roman arches, divided in the centre by a projecting arch of double the propor tions of the others, bearing a handsome entablature, enriched by chaste and elegant cornices and mould ings. The columns of the arches were wreathed in bay leaves, and encircled at the baie with splendid exotics. Floral stars adorned the panelling with the exception of the centre, which displayed graceful festoons of dahlias. The cornices and other parts of the entablature were enriched with paterse formed of a single dahlia ; and between each arch floral festoons were hung with exquisite taste. The crnaments on the other parts of the gallery were of the same rich and varied character : and the erection being em bosomed amidst the fine old trees that adorn the park, the effect was perfectly unique and striking. Along the whole route galleries were erected at every eligible locality for the accommodation of the spectators. They were in general plain but substan tial structures, and erected without ornament. Se veral were in the immediate neighbourhood of the palace ; and an extensive platform erected, under the express sanction of the authorities, on the sloping ground which borders the road through the Queen's Park, was estimated to contain above 3,000 persons, and, with other galleries, was filled long before the hour of her Majesty's arrival by respectable parties. A large area on the old Abbeyhill-road, fronting the royal landing-place, was secured by closing the thoroughfare from the Abbeyhill on the one side and the Portobello road on the other. Near the watering place a barrier and gallery were erected to prevent communication from behind; and a similar erection was placed across the Portobello road, opposite Par sonsgreen lodge. The area thus enclosed was occu pied by the royal carriages, the military escort, and other parties. The guard of honour at Meadowbank, consisting of one captain, two subalterns, and 50 men of the 93d Highlanders, with the band of the 13th Light Dragoons, and a Queen's colour, arrived on the ground shortly before two o'clock. The cavalry escort con sisted of one officer and twenty men of the 13th Light Dragoons. The route of the royal party through the Queen's park was lined on botu sides, from the railway sta tion to the Palace gate, by the 13th Light Dragoons and 93d Highlanders. The latter fine body of men extended from Meadowbank for some distance along the road. No access was allowed to the palace yard, and barricades were erected across the streets leading to it, to prevent any approach. At the eastern extremity lof the park, near Parsonsgreen, a strong barrier was raised to prevent the pressure of the crowd; and a shriller erection was formed near the south-eastern angle of the palace. The hour of her Majesty's expected arrival was generally known in the city ; and, as we have said, from an early hour in the afternoon crowds of well dressed parties poured in a continuous stream through all the different avenues leading to the Queen's Park. Each moment augmented their numbers, and in a short time every eminence likely to command a view of the royal progress was occupied. The great ex tent and diversified surface of the park, forming on the north side a vast natural amphitheatre, was of in the dense throng, which afemmpalleescapacity for the immense concourse. Many mingled• over spread the heights to their summit; and the gay and varied colours of their dresses presented a striking and singular contrast to the more sombre shades of the verdant hill-side. The sloping ground along the road through the park--as, perhaps, the most favourable for commanding a near view of the party—was occupied throughout its whole royal e xten t.a'his road is here formed near the old Duke's Walk," which is supposed to have de rived its name from having been the favourite pro menade of James VII., when. Duke of York, during his residence at Holy rood. It is difficult to conceive a more magnificent avenue to the old Palace of our Kings. The hill rears its dusky sides to a great height on the south, broken towards the west by the steep ascent which bears on its summit the crumbling ruins of the ancient chapel and hermitage of St. An thony. The overhanging cliffs beyond impart an as pect of grandeur to the prospect, which is terminated by the towering peak of Arthur's Seat. The graphic pen of Sir Walter Scott, in the " Heart of Mid-Lo thian," has described with characteristic felicity the picturesque beauties of the scene; and Scottish song has added its poetic charm in the well-known lyric— " Now Arthur's Seat shall be my bed— The sheets m n l truel u shallt it love's a pressed kenme by me ; awaited h St. Anton's well shall be my d r ink, S c.'' The immense arrival of her t' Majesty in their ele va t e d pos i tion, w i thout impa fleece, end the exer c i se o f t h e greatest good humour. Tne morning was mark e d by bright - sunshine, and many anxious spectators w ere b usy examining the e u different preparations at t 1111 early hour. The tky this nature are to go on, there will very soon be an end to every kind of confidence in what may be called the secondary class of railway securities. Who can tell what company has, or what has not, an astut e or an alarmist Major Court in the background, ready to explode with figures, and statistics, and shreds from Acts of Parliament, and obsolete resolutions, with the intention of producing a complete reconstruction of the entire concern? Confidence will in that case be at an end, and gentlemen in the position of the Norfolk pro prietors will find to their cost that they have pushed the game rather too far, for it will become apparent that, in their zeal for a microscopic accuracy, they have brought down the whole of the edifice bodily. GUTTA PERCHA. The history of gotta percha—or genii tal?fie, as the learned tell us the beat quality ( f the gum ought to be called--is brief but not uneventful. Previous to 1844, the very name of gutta percha was unknown to European commerce. In that year two cwt. of it were shipped experimentally from Singapore. The exportation of gutta prelia from that port rose in 1845 to 169 piculs (the picul is 133 f lbs.); in 1846, to 5 364; in 1847, to 9,296 ; i n th e fi rst seven months of 1848, to 6,768 piculs. In the first four and a half years of the trade, 21,598 piculs of gutta percha, valued at 274,190 dollars, were shipped at Singapore; the whole of which was sent to England, with the exception of 15 pleats to Mauritius, 470 to the continent of Europe, and 922 to the United States. But this rapid growth-of the new trade conveys only a faint idea of the commotion it created among the native inhabitants of the Indian Archipelago. The jungles of Johore were the scene of the earliest gatherings, and they were soon ransacked in every direction by parties of Malays and Chinese, while the indigenous population gave themselves up to the search with an unanimity and zeal only to be equalled by that which made railway jobbers of every man, woman, and child in England about the same time. The Tamungong, with the usual policy of oriental governors, declared the precious gum a Government monopoly. fie appropri ated the greater part of the profits and still left the Ma lays enough to stimulate them to pursue the quest, and to gain from 100 to 400 per cent. for themselves on what they procured from the aborigines. The Tamungong, not satisfied with buying at his own price all that was collected by private enterprise, sent out numerous par ties of from 10 to 100 persons, and employed whole tribes of hereditary serfs in the quest of gutta percha. This organized body of gum-hunters spread itself like a cloud of locusts over the whole of Johore, peninsular and insular. They crossed the frontier into Linga, but there the Snitan was not long of discovering the new value that had been conferred upon his jungles. He confiscated the greater part of what had been collected by the interlopers, and in emulation of the Tamungong declared gutta percha, or gatti 11 , a), a royalty. Whether any protocolising between the potentates was the result of these stringent measures, the historian leaves untold. The knowledge of the article stirring the avidity of gatherers, gradually spread from Singapore, northward as far as Pinang, southward along the east coast of Su matra to Java, eastward to Borneo, where it was found at Brut , Sarawak, and Pontianak on the west coast, at Keti and Passir on the east. The imports of gutta percha into Singapore from the Ist of January to the 12th of July, 1848, according to their geographical dis tribution, were—From the Malay Peninsula, 593 piculs; from the Johoro Archipelago, 1,269; from Sumatra, 1,866; from Batavia, 19; from Borneo, 55. The prico at Singapore was originally 8 dollars per picul; it rose to 24, and fell about the middle of 1848 to 13. The commotion among the human race in the Archi pelago was great, but the vegetable kingdom suffered most by it. In the course of three and a half years 270,000 titio trees were felled in order to get at the gum. The commodity which left such excitement behind it in the far east produced excitement in loglaud, too, but of a more mixed and equivocal character. The capabilities of the new gum were undoubtedly great, but invention was rather put upon the stretch to decide how they should be turned to account. Like many other persons and things destined ulti mately for higher employments, the first occupations of gutta percha were es law as could be imagined. It was used to make waterproof soles for shoes, and a most portentous cackling and puffing was relied about its virtues in keeping the feet dry. Less has been heard of it of late in this line: some easy bachelors, who loved to sit with their feet on the fender, rather brought it into discredit, for it softened under the influence of the fire, and kept their feet lucked to their genial footstool. Surgical bandages, draining pipes —it is impossible to recapitulate the number of articles proposed to be manu factured out of gutta percha. Bread-baskets, ink standisher, &c.: the ductile gutta percha allowed itself to be cast in moulds into all of these forms. Doll makers—the comical 'ones—pressed it into their service. But a day of triumph has at last come for gutta per cha; " Fitter hope and nobler doom." It is no longer to be used merely to keep the fleet feet of the Post office letter-carriers dry, but has become an essential adjunct in the transmission and interchange of information by a mode, that in point of rapidity distances the post, and all its officials to boot, even with the aid of express trains. The crowning glory of gutta percha's brief career was displayed on WA day when, as the Goliah paddled slowly over a waveless sea, 30 miles of copper wire, thickly coated with the Indian gum, were slowly " payed out," to form the line of electric telegraph from the Bri tish to the French coast. The ides of asking a ques tio❑ in London, and receiving an answer from Pans, in less than half-an-hour, is sufficiently stupendous. But if a submarine telegraph is possible from Dover to Cape Grime, what is there to hinder the extension of a line to Bombay, Madras, Calcutta, and Simla? The autho rities in Lesdenhall-street and Cannon-row may be transformed from an absentee into a virtually rt*ident Government, without being obliged to budge from their chairs. And what has been done of wonderful, and may be yet done of more wonderful still, is in no small degree owing to guns perche. As manageable, enduring, and economical a coating for the submarine telegraph wires it would be difficult to find. For bunc]reds and thou sands of years this gum kept exuding unnoticed and un cared for in the jungles of the India,' Archipelago. A seeming accident drew to it the notice of an European adventurer only seven s ears ego. And already it has made the fortunes of thouslnds of the rude natives; hats become a bone of contention between their proud and barbarous chiefs; has tasked the wi's of many of our numerous speculators possessed of more ingenuity than steady industry or money; and has contributed materi ally to the success of one of the boldest projects in the way of rendering science practically subservient to our daily uses, that even this age, fertile in such triumphs, has witnessed. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. have read with great pleasure, in your last night's publication, the elaborate criticism of Mr. Ten nyson's work. Ido not, however, quite understand the title " In Memoriam," anglice " In Memory." Surely Mr. Tennyson, as a scholar, is aware that the Latin preposition " In," except in very rare instances, governs the ablative case, and the title of his book there fore should have been " In Memorift." Pray oblige me, by calling the attention of the public .hrough your columns to this error.—l am, Sir, &c., Bit kenhead, Aug. 30, 1850. L. C. G. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUY. Ein,—Permit me to caution your readers and the public against being duped by some of the Hackney om nibus conductors. Yesterday, in company with a friend, we got into an omnibus (belonging to John Barber, Church-street, Hackney, No. 7,217) below Sun•street, Bishopsgate-street, and rode to Boston-street, Hackney- road, a distance less than Fleet-street and the Strand, and less than half way to Paddington from Hunger ford-market, or from the Bank to Charing-cross; for which we were charged sixpence each, whereas, if we had adopted the precaution of asking the fare at the time of entering it is probable we should have saved threepence each. The public will therefore do well so to act towards the conductor of 7,217 Hackney omnibus. I am, Sir, &c., A DUPED. .Aggust 30, 1850. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. read in your paper of yesterday (arti cle Panama, July 6th) that there was a great opening for the employment of a steamer at Cbagres, which could, as acting without paddle or screw, or any exter nal apparatus, pass the " Snags" and "Branches," without interruption, I firmly believe that my patent invention will answer this end. If, therefore, you will be so obliging as to put me into communication with the parties, you will be doing a benefit to the public, and which every individual eventually concerned in the affair will not fail duly to appreciate.—l am, Sir, &c., GEORGE ALEXANDER THOMPSON. 13, Manchester -street, Aug. 30. HAYNAIJ IN ENGLAND. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The Kolner Zeitung of the 26th announces the arrival in that city of General Haynau, on his way to London! Surely there must be some mistake in this paragraph. It cannot be passible that this man should be presuming to come into a country which was lately ringing with horror at his crimes, and where his very name is synonymous with everything that is brutal and butcherly; is never uttered (save by the writers in the Times) without execration. It would stain the soil of this free country should this man be allowed to set his foot on it, and it would be trying its patience too far if he should venture to do so.—l am, Sir. &e.. AN ENGLISHMAN. LIB HEALTH OF OUR HOMES.—A contemporary states—" As this is the season for painting our homes, it would be well to remind the owners that the noxious white lead paint, and other arsenic pigments, are not a matter of course, this means of so-called purification having been hap pily superseded by a new white-zinc paint, of disinfecting isoperties, and perfectly innocent to the artizan and inha bitant. Our continental neighbours, although not a do mestic nation,' are more alive to these thing-,and are rapidly banishing the barbarous use of these deadly compounds, while their Government have adopted this zinc paint for all the public works. Perhaps, however, ass to ngland - the exten sive house of Ilubbuck and Son, oppoihe London Docks, have taken up the patent, it will work its useful course in this country, as elsewhere; we cannot see why it should not, cheapness being added to its other recommendations. litAcKaarL FISUING.—This fishing commenced in Saltcoats-bay this season about the latter end of June or be ginning of July. There has been a good supply of them, but very considerably short of last year's extraordinary catch. 'rho take in A day of each bcat (a large number of which go out, weather permitting), would, on an average. be from 7to 11 dozen. Sometimes, however, they got from. 16 to upwards of 20 dozen, and lately as high as 50 dozen. When they first Caine in, we scarcely thought them so good in quality; but, on the whole, they have been excellent in quality and large in size. The amount of mackerel procured by each of the boats out in Irvine and Ardrossan bays would, we believe, be About the tame a 4 at Saltwata,...Glaigoto Omni*. - -- z-*
