The adjourned inquest in this case was resumed last evening, before Mr. Redford and a respectable jury, at the St. Martin Public-house, Adelphi. • Mt. Coppo c k aga i n a tte n ded o n th e p ar t o f th e parents o f theZ deceased, and Mr. Catterns on that of the Irom Steam boat Compa n y. t t'ealry Tucker, employed by the Company, and whose duty it f i r to attend to the head-rope, by which the deceased lost his deposed that he was on board the Moonlight on the 18th . - Wont.

On ar riving at the Hungerford pier, he threw the rope on the gangway of the Prince of Wales, which was laying along , and a casual boy made it fast to the timber-head, but w ho was in no way connected with the boats. It was wit ness's duty to attend to this rope, and he remained with it i n hand from the time it was made fast until the captain Rare dire c ti ons t o g o on , w h en h e unwoun d th e ro p e from the timber-head of the Moonlight, and called out for some person to do the same on board the Prince of Wales, "ut there was no one there at the time. It was th e duty of P'e pier -man to undo this rope. The engines of the Moon ght then made two or three revolutions, but the captain, per eeiving that it was still fast to the Prince of Wales, gave or ders to stop. There was, however, about three yards of the re lying loose on th e d ec k, which was not run out, hut the prince of Wales went astern, and, com.equently, made the rope ta ught, and in doing ad caught the leg of the deceased, and s w agged him along the deck to the timber-head, where his leg Ivas torn off. Witness lifted up deceased, and placed him on The chain box. He swore positively that at the time of the accident the Moonlight was motionless, and the rope was only tendered taught by the Prince of Wales going astern. That Part of the deck on which the decased was standing before the ueeident was not intended for passengers, but there was no tiling to prevent persons getting there. It was the duty of the e aPlain to see that the boat was clear before he gave directions to ,_ proceed onward s , an d h e cou ld eas ily h ave seen th e rope w h en th e accident happened. On cross-examination he further deposed that there was an other boat between the Prince of Wales and the pier. The accident would not have occurred had the Prince of Wales re :4ained• stationary. Witness gave it as his opinion that such i 'r! , ents would be prevented in future if the r e wer e more pie - cuts provided to attend upon the boat s com i ng t o H un . getford-market. William Giles, mate of the Prince of Wales, who was on boardale his boat at the time of the accident, partly corrobor a ted " a le above evidence; but he stated in contradistinction, that to Prince of Wales was motionless at the time of the aeci ‘", but that the Moonlight, was going ahead and the engi nes tna in motion. 4 everal of the jurymen here observed that the evidence given 'fia very conflicting, and expressed their intention of sitting the utter to the utmost ; and for this purpose they further ad 'ln toed until Thursday (to-morrow), at three o'clock. Before the proceedings terminated it was intimated that a Illbseription had been set on foot, headed by the employer of th e deceased, on behalf of his bereaved parents, who, it is s tated, are in very poor circumstances.

Before leaving, lishl_a,u of wine was offered him to support his strrength, t t , %t 7l he refused, saying that he did not need it. On 111 4 ,, in g outside the prison, at the sight of the vast crowd, e oll 'uled by the light of the rising sun, the prisoner's et i :age seemed to fail him, for he turn e d p a l e an d Wattled ; but en being exhorted by the wo r thy cure , w h o %te kti !" by his side, he collected himself, an d p rocee d e d !tP , Y the remainder of the road to the scaffold.

STONEHAvEN.—The weather has been so unpropitious for the herring llsh , •ry this week 'lilt no good has ben done. Still, the average take here for the season h as good as at any station un the coast. PETERIIE.G, AUG. 21.—The weather has been very unfavourable for the fishing, but on Tuesday all the boats got to s, a, with a good appearance for a night's fishing. The sea, liox evt r, very suddenly (and without a sufficioney of wind to account for it) ruse to a fearful height, accompanied with torrents cl rain, but not much wind. Many of the beats did not shoot their nets ; some did, and almost immediately took them in, in con sequence of the great swell in the sea ; but those who got early to the fishing ground had excellent shots, and fortunately gia cafe ashore with them, but many, by the effects of the tremendous sea, were forced to run to the south, and take shelter where they could get it—at Bud. dam, Ward of Crudyn, Aberdeen, Arbroath, &c. The number amissii.g doers not scent to be well ascertained ; but last night's coach and this day's post accounted for a good number of thew:. Several of the boats were wrecked in taking the harbours they ran for, and some were knocked to pieces after they thought they were in places of safety. We have not, as yet, heard of any loss of lives, but there will be a great anxiety until all the boats ,re heard of. The sea was fearful yesterday in our bay, at d the rain fi I 1 its bucketfuls all day. To-night the greater part of the boats that were here have gone to sea. Our average for the season is 77 trans. LOSSIEMOUTII, AUG. 21.—The fishing at this station has added but little to our former average since this day week, our boats having only got twice to sea during the week, in consequence of the boisterous state of the weather, which still continues stormy. Our average up till to-day is only 60 craws per boat, and fears are now entertained that the fishing is all but ended for the season. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. GALLANT CAPTURE OF A PIRATE SLAVER.- NINE MEN KILLED AND FOURTEEN WOUNDED, We merely alluded yesterday to a report which had reached us from the coast of Africa, of a most gallant and successful engagement on the west coast, between the boats of one of her Majesty's ships and a large pirate slaver. We have re ceived from a correspondent at St. Thomas's, by the same ship, a confirmation of the report, with the fdlowing interesting particulars :—lt is with sincere pleasure that we record the exploit, which for chivalrous gallantry has hardly been sur passed during the most stirring period of the late war, ana which must satisfy those detractors of our brave seamen who insist that the navy has lost much of the spirit that was wont to animate it, how utterly groundless such a belief really is. The boats engaged in the affair belonged to the Pantaloon, 10, sloop, Commander Edmund Wilson. The prize is a re markably fine vessel of about 450 tons, polacre rigged, with im mense sails. She is of great celebrity on the coast, is armed with four 12-pounders, and had a mixed crew composed chiefly of Spaniards, amounting to about fifty, and was equipped fur any villainous service, whether slave-dealing or piracy. The Pantaloon had been baffled in her chase of this vessel, supposed to be a slaver, for two or three days : and it appears, from what our correspondent bias stated, the pirate, after lead ing the Pantaloon away to St. Thomas's, and out-sailing her, doubled on the cruiser, and then ran to Lagos, but Captain Wilson was too old an officer on the coast to be so taken i , and on the morning of the 26th of May the sloop and the stranger caught sight of each other about two miles distant, off Lagos, becalmed. The pirate hoisted no colours, and the captain of the Pantaloon, desirous of renewing his attentions, sent the cutter and two whale-boats, under the command of the :First Lieuter.aut, Mr. Lewis T. de Prevost, with the master, Sir. J. T. Crout, and the boatswain, Mr. Pasco, with marines and seamen, amounting to about thirty altogether, to make a more intimate acquaintance with the stranger, taking especial care, however, to be fully prepared for a warm re ception. The pirate gave the boats an indication of what they were to expect as they neared, by opening on them a heavy fire of round shot, grape and canister, in such a spirited style, that, after returning the compliment by a volley of musketry, the boats prepared for hard work. Animated by the show of re sistance, each boat now emulated the other in reaching the enemy, the pirate continuing a sharp fire as they steadily ad vanced, the marines as briskly using their muskets. In half an hour from the discharge of the first gun from the pirate the boats of the Pantaloon were alongside, Lieutenant Prevost, and Mr. Pasco on the starboard, and Mr. Grout, in the cutter, on the port side. The pirate crew sheltering themselves as much as possible, nevertheless continued to fire the guns, loading them with all sorts of missiles—bullets, nails, lead, &c., and amidst a shower of these our brave sailors and marines dashed on board; NAMES or RAILWAYS, Aberdeen • • • Airdrie and Coatbridge Arbro , ith and Forfar ....

On Saturday, owing to the boistet ous state of the weather, the boats al returned without shooting their nets There has been no fishing since. GoortnoN.—On Friday morning, the average for each boat. was twelve trans. There has been no fishing since. CAI 7 EWAN E, A LTG. 16.—Since last report the boats here have only been three nights at sea. Monday was stormy and tempestuous but all the boats fearlessly went to sea —all who put out their nets got a few. Tuesday, no boats out. Wednesday, all w(nt out, and got a few crans. Thursday, all out, and several came in well fished-24 211, 13, 12, and 9 crans to the boat. Average, at this (late, 88 crans per boat. The fish are of excellent quality. GoußDoN.—George Jack, a fn , hcrinan from the !nigh- Lourhood of Inverness, who had been very unsuccessfully employed at Aber,leen during the earlier part of the season, hearing of good fishing at this quarter, made a run south, and shot his nets off Catterline on the 14th, and got a weiglvy draught, but was taken with a gale of wind on the morning of the 15th; and being unable to proceed, owing to the boisterous state of the weather, bore up, not I{7o.llViig - where to go, when Mr. David Sutherland, fisheurer, Montrose, having observed the boat deeply load, d, most humanely volunteered his ser vices, along with a few spirited fishermen, and brought the boat into our harbour, then as smooth as a mill-pond, w hen 431 eras of ex,7ellent herrings were discharged from her. Jack, as may be supposed, was most thank ful,for his deliversnee—so much so, that, to use his own words, " It was like the Angel of God sent to him;" for he knew not where he was, never before having been so far south. Lieutenant Prevost and his party in the two boats, notwith standing their hot reception, were soon on the deck of the prize. The master boarded on the port bow, and despite of the formidable resistance and danger, followed by one of his boat's crew, actually attempted to enter the port as they were firing the gun from it. He succeeded in getting through, but his seconder was knocked overboard by the discharge ; the gallant fellow, however, nothing daunted, was in an instant up the side again, taking part with the master, who was engaged in a single encounter with one or two of the rascals. Having gained the deck after a most clitermined resistance, they now encountered the pirates hand to hand, when the cutlass and bayonet did the remainder of the work. Lieut. Prevost finally succeeded in capturing the vessel, but the pirates fought desperately, and it was not until seven of their number lay dead on the deck and seven or eight more were severely wounded that they ran below or yielded. It may naturally be supposed that in such a hard and close struggle the gallant boats' crews did not escape unscathed. We are sorry to say that a fine able seaman, named Henry Jackson, was killed, and a private Royal Marine was so se verely wounded that he died a very short time after. The master was severely wounded; Pasco, the boatswain, was slightly wounded ; as were also four others, Carrick, the cap tain's coxswain ; Soughton, a quarter-master ; Harmer, an able seaman; and a marine, named Freemantle. An able seaman, named Jones, was severely wounded. The affair has excited a great sensation on the coast, and the men of war are loud in their congratulations on the success of the Pantaloon. The general feeling among the squadron is admiration of the gallantry displayed, coupled, however, with ardent wishes for such an opportunity for distinction. Ditto New ... .......

She brings home Captains Fisher and Furneaux's companies of Royal Artillery, naval and military invalids and supernumeraries from the station, besides detachments of various corp?, with whom she will proceed to the river and disembark. 'phis being the 26th anniversary of the birthday of his Royal Highness Prince Aluert, the day was observed here in the usual loyal manner. The royal standard was hoisted along all the points of the fortifications, and on the Government offices, and at noon royal salutes were fired from the Victory, Excellent, and the Platform Battery. The Victory and many other ves sels in harb ,ur, and the Crocodile, at Spithead, were gaily dressed in colours; and the Apollo troop-ship displayed from her mast-heads the red, white, and blue ensigns, and the union jack at the mizen peak. Captain J. Dowman, Second Lieutenant F. E.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR.,— You "gave in the evening'; impression - of the 22d inst. the particulars of various experiments performed at Yarmouth, in the pres e nce o f a d eputat i on f rom th e Danish Government, of the right and proper use of Captain Manby's mortar, in case of shipwreck. Now, these experiments prove the contrary to what the report avers. It there says, the rope invariably breaks when the iron mortar is used, and the shot flies an immense distance without the rope, but not so when the brass mortar is used ; whereas, the fact must be in the use of no less than 6 oz. more of powder with the iron mortar than the brass one, though the same weight of line and shot is used in both, accounting thereby for the inability of the line to withstand the extra for ce o f p ow d er . Thi s mus t convince all that it is necessary to use a line in accordance to the weight of powder, which has much more to do with the matter than the kind of mortar used. The sudden jerk given to the rope while in a state of rest, by the headlong sweep of the ball, is the sole cause of the line breaking. This might be prevented by hay. ing the line made tapering in a very slight degree. Now, Sir, having touched as briefly as possible on this part of the subject, I will advert as briefly to the advantage of hav ing Captain Manby's mortar on board vessels. t.ome years have now gone by since I first mooted this question. Three years ago I did my best to draw to it the attention of the Com mittee, appointed by the House of Commons, to inquire into the cause of shipwrecks ; but, I am sorry to say, with no effect. I not only pointed out how lighthouses might be constructed,. so as to show to th e di s t racte d , forlorn, and sea-tosse d mariner, his position ere he ventured his frail barque on an uncertain shore ; but, also, the best means of stemming a lee-bound ship, &c. Now, I will say, that while the wind howled, and screeched, and moaned, and appeared bent on des' ruction, the inquiry went on swimmingly. But, bad as the wind is in its fury, like a crying child, it at last slept, and need I say, so did the inquiry, but only till it shall again be aroused to a sense of duty by one of those fearful storms that ever and anon devastate our coast. Now, in the evidence as published by the Commit tee, all the witnesses speak of the utility of Captain Manby's mortar, as employed in conveying a line from the shore to a wrecked vessel, but not the least mention is made of its greater utility, were every vessel to carry a mortar and proper lines with it, so that, in case of need, the stranded vessel might hold communication with the shore instanter, without risking the forlorn chance of a mortar being in the neighbourhood. It is too well known that many most disastrous wrecks have taken place ere.a mortar could be obtained to project a line to a wrecked vessel, even were it at hand; but when we consider how few of these useful instruments of preservation there are, I think it behoves the powers that be to compel all masters of vessels to carry one or more, as it is plain and obvious that a stranded vessel can throw a line treble the distance on to a lee shore, with a tempestuous wind winging it along, than it can be thrown from the shore to windward, right in the teeth of that same wind. Besides, the shore presents a greater range for the line to be thrown upon than the ship affords. In too many eases the line has either fallen short or else en one side of the wrecked vessel, thereby creating a most serious and life sacrificing delay in rendering assistance. Again, in many instances it has happened that a boat might have safely left the shore, but could not, or durst not, venture within a certain distance of the stranded vessel ; when, there fore, a line thrown from the shore falls short of the wreck, it cannot be picked up on account of the tremendous swell of the sea; but if a line thrown from the vessel falls short of the shore, a greater probability exists that it will be picked up, and fixed on to the shore—thus making a firm and sure communi cation betwee n th e vesse l an d the land, by which all the . lives would be sav e d. If th e un f or t una t e A m phitrite convict-ship had been furnished with a mortar and lines, it is not too much to say that not a life would have been lost. So of the Con queror East Indiaman, homeward-bound—the lives lost by the wreck of this vessel off Etables, were for the want of a mortar and lines : and for this same omission poor Tucker, of the Reliance, with the passengers and crew, fell a sacrifice off the very same spot, and the like distance from shore, viz., a few hundred yards. It is not six months ago when a vessel stranded off Yarmouth had nearly every soul on board lost, not because there was no mortar at hand, but because every time a line was fired towards the vessel it fell short, and it was not until aftefsome eight hours' constant firing that a line could be got to strike the vessel ; but ere this could be effected some twenty lives were lost, thereby showing that if a mortar had been on board, a shore-bound boat could have picked up the line at the very first shot. New, Mr. Editor, I do hope that all masters of vessels, whether they be of the lowly craft or the royal yacht, will think well of this, and render the lives of all who trust them selves on shipboard secure against every possible contingency. I am, Mr. Editor, }ours respectfully, 14, Crown-row, Walworth, Aug. 24. NOTTUSOJHN. Ditto Quarter Shares.. Ditto Sixteenths • • •...

ROYAL SEA-BATHING INFIR ➢iARY-MARGATE. _ _ On Monday the 50th anniversary of the establishment of this most excellent institution was celebrated at the Town-hall, by upwards of sixty gentlemen. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor was in the chair. Near his Lordship were seated the Very Rev. Archdeacon Hollingsworth, Alderman Kelly, Alderman and Sheriff Hunter, Alderman and Sheriff Sidney, and several other citizens of high standing and character. After the Chairman had proposed, and the company had drunk the toasts of the Qin en, the patron, and the Queen Dowager, the patroness of the institution, and the other usual loyal and patriotic toasts, with great applause and enthusiasm, The LORD MAYOR rose to give " Success to the Royal Sea-Bathing Infirmary." He felt the utmost gratifica tion in stating that the infirmary established as it had been for the relief of the poor who laboured under scro fulous maladies, had been most rapidly advancing in utility, and that each successive season abun dantly testified to the vast amount of good it effected. In th© first year of its institution 16 patients were admitted ; and, in 1844, 686 was the number to which its advantages were extended, so that it formed no inconsiderable degree of pride and satisfaction to re flect that the supporters of the infirmary were that day celebrating its jubilee—(Cheers)—that nearly 19,000 patients—most of them deeply afflicted by the disease against which the institution was, by the bkill and libe rality with which it was supported, making head—had derived signal advantages, which any other mode of treatment was incapable of producing, and that the whole of the establishment was conducted upon a plan of economy, so well regulated, as to supply the patients with the sort of living which was indispensable to their recovery.—(Cheers.) The chief expense consisted of the charges for the articles constantly supplied for the purpose of adding to the comforts of those who were the victims of the malady. Of the propriety of supporting with all the vigour of a zealous and indefatigable activity an institution to the excellence of which the united voice of the highest medical and surgical authorities in the kingdom bore most willing and ample testimony, there could be no reasonable question. The meeting of that day was ominous of the increasing exertions and success of the benevolent friends of the institution, and he felt assured that the jubilee year would be followed by anniversaries of much larger profit., and that the Committee would be enabled to look at it by the side of other admirable establishments with some pride of com parison. The toast was drunk with loud acclamations. _ _ The LORD MAYOR next proposed, " The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London, and the clergy." The two Learned Prelates whom he had named entertained the highest opinion of the infirmary, and manifested that opinion by the most liberal contri butions, as well as by repeated verbal acknowledgments of their faith in its efficacy. In fact, to the ministers of the church the infirmary was indebted for the most prompt and able support.—(Cheers.) Archdeacon HOLLINGSWORTH returned thanks on be half of the church, and bore testimony to the disposition of the Primate and of the Bishop of London to aid the efforts of the Committee. It gave him, he declared, the utmost satisfaction to be called upon, unworthy as he was, to express his feelings by answering to such a toast, for it was the Primate of England who had advanced him from the comparative obscurity of a college to the performance of more important duties.—(Cheers.) It gave him infinite pleasure to propose the " Health of the Lord Mayor." It was known to dose most actively en gaged in dispensing the blessings of the institution with what zeal and efficiency the Lord Mayor had always exerted himself for the prosperity of so admirable a charity. The toast was drunk with three times three, and amidst uncommon demonstrations of applause. The LORD MAYOR returned thanks fur the manner in which his health had been proposed and drunk, and declared that it was peculiarly acceptable to him to be a witness of such acknowledgments on the thirty-third anniversary of his treasurership.—(Cheers.) His lord ship then proposed the health of Alderman Kelly and the Vice-Presidents of the Institution. Alderman KELLY, in returning thanks, said he should continue to ‘iz‘it on the anniversary day an institution of which he entertained so exalted an opinion. He had, when Lord Mayor, in the capacity of chairman, made that promise, and nothing but bad health should at all interfere with his determination. He felt high gratifi cation in being present at the jubilee of the charity, and he hoped that Providence would grant him the privilege of witnessing the day of the celebration of the present chairman's treasurership.—(Loud cheers.) He hoped too to see the external appearance of the edifice bear a more fair proportion to the comforts of the in terior, and that a day wolild be soon appointed to take that subject into consideration. The toast of " The Medical Board" having been en thusiastically drunk, Mr. CURLING returned thanks, and testified to the satisfactory progress made amongst the patients to the restoration of the blessings of health, through the power ful agency of the institution. It was with great sin cerity he declared that every thing that could be done had been done for the comfort and restoration to health of the patients.—(Cheers.) The Secretary read a list of contributions, amounting to the sum of nearly 1,000/., bearing some of the highest names in the country. His Lordship next proposed the Margate Committee, and Mr. COBB returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN said he felt much pleasure in drink ing to the health of the Sheriffs of London, who bad shown such readiness to a id the institution. Alderman and Sheriff HUNTER regretted that he bad not been long ago informed of the peculiar advan tages of the institution, but from what he had that day heard he had resolved to do all in his power to assist so excellent a charity. Alderman and Sheriff SIDNEY said he had had the ad vantage of visitingthe infirmary, and he was convinced f ro m what he ha d seen that every effort was made by all actively engaged in conducting it, to increase its e ffi acy, by a dding as much as possible to the comforts of the pa tients. He particularly alluded to the Lord Mayor, whose indep e nde nt spirit as a public man all who were capable of judging . admired, and one of the brightest gems in whose public life that institution constituted. The pleasure of the evening was much enhanced by the admirable singing of Messrs. Charles Taylor, Francis Fitzwilliam, &c. THE EXPERIMENTAL SQUADRON.—We have re ceived further accounts of the experimental squadron, which we can rely on. From these we learn that the Queen had the best of the first day. On the morning of the second day's trial St. Vincent was first, Queen second, Canopus third, and the rest far astern, the old Trafalgar almost out of sight to leeward. Thick weather then came on, and confirmed for several days. The next trial was a run of about eighty miles, on Saturday, wind W.N.W., when Canopus was again the first, Albion se cond, Queen third, followed in rotation by Rodney, Superb, St. Vincent, Vanguard, and last old Trafalgar, In the next trial, on the following Monday, in a run of twenty miles, course about North-West, St. Vincent was first, Vanguard next, followed by Rodney, Canopus, Queen, Albion, Tra falgar,_ and Superb last. The lo ca l i ty o f th e cru i s i ng g round is the Nymph Bank, which stretches across the chops of the Channell, and about ninety miles from Scilly. Subsequent ac counts to the 10th instant state the Queen to have proved her self the best of the three-deckers, and the Canopus the best of the two-deckers, in all the trials which had taken place. It is also stated that the Trafalgar, Vanguard, and Superb, were the sternmost ships of the squadron, the latter universally so, and her performances altogether had been throughout the reverse of her name.—Hampshire Advertiser. PoRT OF LIVERPOOL. In consequence of the numerous complaints of the paucity of officers of the landing department at this port to take the accounts on the part of the revenue of goods and merchandise imported from foreign parts, and the consequent and necessary obstruction to business thereby eau-ed on all occasions, and particularly in the event of an influx of shipping and pressure of business, when the trade of the port has been in a manner completely at a stand still for want of officers to clear the ves sels, a number of otlicers of the subordinate branches of the landing department have been permitted to take the accounts of low duty and free goods, leaving the higher and more important branches of the landing duty to officers of established rank and more competent experience, until the general arrangement for the in crease of the est: , blishment of this important and flou rishing port, which is at present in progress, shall be carried into effect. This arrangement has effected an important degree of assistance in clearing the import vessels and despatching the other business of the port. With respect to the increased establishment, we believe that although the Commissioners of Customs have sub mitted a draft of the amount and descriptions of in crease which it will be advisable to make, in order to meet the pressing demands of the merchants and trade of the second commerciai port in the kingdom, and have obtained the sanction of the Lords of the Treasury for an increase in the manner and to the extent recommended to be made, nothing has yet been done in the shape of actual appointments to the extras about to be made. It is understood that there is to be, what there never has been at Liverpool yet—viz., a separate class of officers for the wine and spirit department, as is the case in the port of London. It has hitherto been the practice for the officers of the landing department at Liverpool to undertake both duties, so that on an influx of wet goods a number of oificers had to be taken from the regular corps of landing-waiters, to the inconvenience of the other branches of trade. The new arrangement will rectify this system, and will, of course, leave the number usually employed in the guaging for the ordinary duties. In addition to this, the number of landing-waiters is to be further increased, and it is understood that their salaries will be considerably augmented, in a manner approaching the London establishment. Additional superintending officers will also be appointed, and in consideration of the vast quantities and descriptions of goods now allowed to be imported free of duty, of which particular articles a very large proportion is brought to the port under notice from the United States, &c., it is understood that there will be a class of officers formed from the subordinate branches of the landing departure nt to take the account of such goods, and to be available for the subordinate duties of the landing waiters' department, leaving the superior duties, as we have before remarked, to elder and more expe rienced officers. Further than we have stated, we be lieve nothing is at present known as to whether this in crease to the Liverpool establishment will be selected from experienced London officers, others being appointed in their room, or whether it will consist of entirely fresh appointments. We believe it principally, if not entirely, rests with the Customs Board as to what they shall recommend to the Treasury, the matter being at present left in their hands, though of course it will ulti mately have to be submitted to their Lordships for their approval. The merchants and the trade generally of the port of Liverpool are naturally very anxious that the proposed and sanctioned increase should take place as speedily as possible ; and although nothing is dis tinctly known as to - the actual period, there is no doubt that it will take place as speedily as the necessary ar rangements will permit, when it is expected that it will answer the requirements of the extensive shipping trade and commerce generally of this improved and flourishing port. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. The following is an extract of a letter from an officer of the Erebus, begun on the Ist July, lat. 68 N., and finished at Whale Fish islands, 10th July, 1845: . " The fair wind which blew us from our friends the steamers did not last long, and we had one continued succession of westerly and north-westerly winds (re lieved now and then by a fair wind), till the 21st June, when we found ow - selves 134 miles due east of Cape Farewell. Here we had a calm, with a most tremendous heavy swell, in which we did roll. " During our journey thus far, we went within 60 or 70 miles of Iceland, but it was too cloudy to see Mount Hecla. We did not go within 70 miles of Cape Farewell, but rounded it with a gale right aft, which followed us in our course with a heavy sea. We kept close-reefed topsails and reefed foresail, and made the old craft go eight knots through it. The only difficulty we had was to get our gallant chief, Sir John Franklin, to shorten sail when it was wanted, lie is full of life and energy, and of all men the most fitted for the command of an enterprise requiring sound sense and great perseverence ; and he is full of benevolence and kindness withal. "On the 22d we were north of Farewell. The ther mometer had scarcely ever varied three degrees for three weeks, being about 43. "On the 25th we saw our first iceberg in shore, and the beautiful sharp, cragey, snowy coast of Greenland in sight, an immense distance of. Since then we have had delightful smooth seas ; sometimes a calm, sometimes a foul wind, light, and much fair wind. For the last few days we have b,:en nearer the land, and yesterday we were catching cod near the most glorious assemblage of ice, rock, snow, and clouds, being about thirty miles from the coast about Lichtentiels. To-day we have had a splendid breeze right aft, ith a strong current in our favour. A most splendid semicircle of icebergs appear ahead and under the land—. we count 65 from the crow's nest ; I have just been on deck looking at one above 200 feet high, which came down with a crash and raised a mist like an avalanche. It is now twelve o'clock, though the sun is up, so 1 shall go to bed and finish this to morrow, though it is a pity to sleep on such a fine, clear, sun shining night. " Disco, JULY 2.—The scenery of Disco is grand in the extreme ; and the beautiful icebergs in bold relief against the dark, almost black looking coast, present a curious appearance. We have the most heavenly weather here, clear, calm, with a hot sun, and icebergs glistening in all directions, I counted 280 icebergs from the top of a hill the other night, big musquitos biting our party all the time. " JULY 10.—We shall sail for the Lancaster Sound on the 12th with three years' provisions. You have no conception how happy and comfortable we arc ; in fact there is incessant mirth from morning to night. We hear that this is supposed to be a remarkably clear season, but vt e have no authentic information." RICHMOND ROYAL REGATTA. —Eighteen free watermen of Richmond contended yesterday for a purse of sovereigns, subscribed by the ladies and gentlemen residing in the vicinity. The match was in honour of Prince Albert's natal day, and the exceeding fineness of the weather and the prospect of good sport induced a very large assemblage of highly respectable persons both on the shore and river. The race was won by Richard Alessi= and Thomas Ellard. RELATIVE CLOSING PRICES OF RAILWAY SHARES PRINCIPAL CITIES Ali SCOTLAND, IN THE M TOWNS IN ENGLAND AND IRELAND. ~-., • _ HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE CONTINENT. COBUIZG, AUG. 22.—tier Majesty and the rest of the royal party assembled here are living in comparative retirement. The Queen and Prince Albert continue with their suite to occupy Rosenau. The King and Queen of the Belgians Occupy the palace belonging to the King as one of the Princes of Saxe Coburg, situated within the town, at the back of the theatre, and the Duchess of Kent and the other visitors live at the town palace of the reigning Duke. There is also a complete change in the habits of the Court from those to which they are accustomed at home. This morning they all breakfasted in the open air, on a terrace before one of the fronts of Rosenau, a spot which the late Duke always selected fur his evening meal, as it commands one of the most beautiful views in this beautiful valley. The dinner hour is much earlier than in England, four o'clock being contidered rather a late hour to dine. Yesterday, after dinner, the ruyal party drove over from Rosenau to the town palace here, where her Majesty and the Prince held a sort oflevee or reception, called here a ";circle." Among those presented were the Grand Duke of Baden and his SOD, the Dowager Duchess of Coburg, the Princess Reuss, Count Mensdorff and his three sous, Prince Ferdinand of Coburg, and Prince Leopold of Coburg. In the morning, after breakfast, the Queen drove over to Callenborg, a castle of the Duke of Saxe Coburg, which is his more usual residence than the town palace, when he is nut at Rosenau. It was stated that the Queen drove over the other evening to the fortress. The drive from Rosenau there, along a road which winds round a thickly-wooded mountain (called the Bausenberg), is remarkably beautiful. It commands, at different points, views of the scenery about Saxe Coburg, which is of a very high order of the picturesque, and, above all, abounding in every possible variety. From the fortress itself a views is obtained of an immense expanse f country on all sides. It is not sur passed by any similar view, either for beauty or for the extent of ceuntry it embraces. Imme diately at the foot of the hill on which the fortress stands lies the city of,Coburg, embosomed in hill and wood land. In other parts of the landscape there are rich fertile plains stretching for miles towards the horizon, and these again are varied by well wooded hills, and valleys of pictu resque beauty. The prospect is bounded on all sides in the far distance by mountains. On the one hand are the mountains of Thuringia ; on the other, the Fichtelgebirge, in Bavaria ; and the hi.is which inclose the valley of the Maine complete the picture. Parts of Hesse Cassel and Saxe Bleiningen are also visible. The interior of the fortress amply repays the time be stowed on a visit. Many parts of it are as they were two or three hundred years ago. There are some good old portraits, among a great many inferior ones, of the differ:sit Princes an Princesses of the house of Coburg. A room called the Horn Room is quite unique in its way. It is lined, walls and ceiling, with oak, inlaid in the must admir able way with different sorts of wood. All along the walls at intervals are panels formed of a sort of mosaic of wood, each representing in the most quaint style imaginable the incidents of the chase. They were executed fur Duke John Casimir. In another room are some very fine portraits of the heroes of the thirty years' war—of Tilly, Wallenstein, Duke Bernard of Saxe Weimar Gustavus Adolphus, &c. They are mostly by Schneider, a living artist, and reflect the highest credit on his talents. There is also the room where Luther was concealed ; and his bedstead and table, and some other veritable relics, are preserved. A magnificent collection of old armour fills a large room, and provides inexhaustible in terest for the spectator. It is a most complete thing of its kind. There are, also, some old carriages that belonged to Duke John Casimir—the most grotesquely built and orna mented vehicles that were ever seen out of the Burmese em pire. A large collection of sledges, of similar make, is also very interesting. There are some frescoes in different parts of the building, from which our English artists might take a lesson. The rest of the fortress is occupied as a surt of house of correction, in which the prisoners work at different trades —the only persons in Coburg who seem at this festive season to be doing anything at all. This afternoon a spectacle was presented to the Queen quite novel in its character, and at the same time perfectly Ger. man. It appears that there is at Coburg an annual festival called the " Feast of Gregorius." It has lasted for several hundred years, and is kept up with funds long since be queathed for the purpose. It fell to-day ; and in that spirit of simple enjoyment and relaxation from courtly cere mony which has characterised the visit of the Queen here, because it seems to be the custom of the country, her Ma jesty and the whole royal party came down from the palace to be present at the gay scene. In a spacious meadow in one of the suburbs of Coburg p xvilions were erected, and a portion of the ground opposite these pavilions was fenced in with festoons and garlands. In the pavilions tables were laid for dinner, of which the royal visitors were to be the partakers. Besides the pavilions there were alas many other booths, a travelling theatre, and a most grotesque roundabout, with hobby horses and sledges, mounted on which were musicians playing a most musical polka, and girls and boys in fantastic dresses. This was the preparation on the ground. The festival was of a different kind. All the chit dren of the town schools, girls and boys, formed, according to custom, in procession, to the number of 600 or 700. The girls were all dressed in white, their heads adorned with ivy wreaths, and their dresses festooned in like manner. Some wore fancy costumes—the Highland dress, the Greek dress ; and there were flocks:of the prettiest little shepherdesses in the world. The greater number of the boys also wore fancy costumes—they were dressed as jagers, as llighlanders, Greeks, Turks, Albanians, to say nothing of one or two first rate little Napoleon Bonapartes, and an unexceptionable Captain Macheath. This pretty troop of mummers preceded the royal party to the festival ground, and formed themselves in lines within the precincts of the festoons opposite the pavilions, marching to bands of music. Of course there were multitudes of look ers-on—they formed a dense mass around the gay throng, but conducting themselves with the utmost propriety. There was no crushing or crowding; each respected the con venience of the rest ; yet all enjoyed the scene to the ut most, laughing, chatting, and uttering the liveliest expressions of admiration. The arrival of a long string of royal carriages with out riders in liveries, all blazing with gold, was the signal for a general stir of expectation, and as her Majesty alighted from her carriage and entered the open pavilion, there was a ge neral shout of hearty welcome. In a few minutes the whole party were on the ground. All the distingaished persons whose names we have already mentioned as being here at tended the rustic feast, and her Majesty, leaning on the arm of the Duke of Saxe Coburg, followed by the King and Queen of the Belgians and Prince Albert and the Duchess of lient, walked slowly between the long lines of children, stopping occasionally to speak to the prettiest or the most gaily dressed. A succession of sharp shrill cheers in childish treble expressed their pleasure in a manner not to be mis taken, and it was delightful to see their enthusiasm, the girls waving their white handkerchiefs and the boys their caps. As soon as this promenade was over, and the promenaders had returned to the pavilions, the children's turn came. They formed once more in procession, and walked slowly round the inclosure to the music of the bands, passing seve rally by the Queen. It was a pretty sight. The little fair haired girls in their chaste costume of white and ivy wreaths, the strange, often grotesque, mixture of the fancy dresses of the boys, the uniforms of the gendarmerie, and of the officers who attended the party, the music, flags, and the general stir and excitement among such a multitude of peo ple, rendered the whole thing one of the gayest and most animated scenes we ever remember to have witnessed. The procession was a sort of Eton Montem show in miniature, but with the graceful addition of the girls ; and the whole ground on which the festival took place, with the shows and booths, the music, and the gay crowds of people sauntering alma and enjoying themselves, looked like a fair, but with out its rude license. The part of the whole affair which will most surprise an English reader is, that in a very few minutes after the pro cession was over, the whole royal party sat down to dinner in the pavilion, amidst all the noise of the jarring bands, and the clashing of the cymbals, and under the gaze of thou sands of people. To our own Queen it must have been a scene of peculiar novelty, and the people in England will no doubt be not a little surprised to find that so many crowned heads and royal personages as were here assembled could, without any loss of their supposed dignity, dine in this a/ fresco style, in a meadow, sur rounded by so many of what we should in England deem the ruder elements of rustic gaiety. But this is one of the most agreeable characteristics of royalty in these continental countries—the free and unreserved manner in which they mix with the people; nor is it less remarkable that the people never abuse this privilege of partaking in the amuse ments of their rulers by those exhibitions of rudeness and vulgar curiosity which are too often seen iu England on pub lic occasions. The dinner lasted upwards of an hour. In the meanwhile the children were allowed to drink beer at a neighbouring Gasthaus, and after dinner there was a dance, th e Queen and the rest of the royal party looking on. The charm of the whole affair was the utter absence of all ceremony. The same scene takes place every year, so that what appears so strange and striking to an English eye is hero looked on as a matter of course. The Queen took a most lively interest in the festival, particularly in the dancing of the children and their merry games at romp and play. The whole wound up with " God save the Queen," sung admirably by the chil dren ; and after a final cheer the royal party left at a few minutes before six o'clock. COURT CIRCULAR. his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge left town on Monday for Richmond Park, the residence of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester. Yesterday was the birth-day of his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The day was ushered in, and was observed with the usual demonstrations of respect. In the evening his Royal Highness's tradesmen illuminated their houses. Dispatches from the . Governor of Ceyl on , an d f rom the Mauritius, were rece ived yesterday at the Colonial office. Dispatches were also received yesterday after noon from the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, and from the Governor of Malta. THE COLOSSEUM. A splendid bust of Louis Philippe—splendid as a work of art, and most life-like as a portrait—has been rec entl y placed in the Glyptotheca, or Hall of Sculpture, of this establishment. The season is over, and all the world is out of town—at least, so complain the shop keepers, and the streets and parks bear testimony to the truth of their complaint ; but enter the Colosseum either by night or by day, and you begin to doubt whether the season is not at its height. This most at tractive of exhibitions continues to be crowded—coun try cousins and foreigners hasten hither to see the microcosm of London, and old stagers, who remember London before the days of New London-bridge, con gregate together here to enjoy the pleasures of memory —to gaze once more on tke picturesque narrow•arched Old London -bridge, and to relate to their juniors "auld world tales" of the perils they have run "in their hot youth" in shooting the centre arch. True, the London season is over, but the Colosseum season is perennial, and vi e wonder not at it. No other capital in the world can boast an exhibition that can for one moment be put in comparison with it. It stands alone and unap proachable. Before any . other nation can have a Colos seum as an exhibition, it must have a London for a metropolis. POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. This admirable exhibition of scientific models is now enriched with numerous works of art, and among others (a recent addition) a portrait of his Grace the Duke of Wellington, painted by Mr. Solomons, from the daguerrotype process of M. Claudet, engraved by Mr. H. T. Ityall„ engraver to the Queen. It is a curious fact that, notwithstanding the length of time that has elapsed since the daguerrotype portraits were intro duced, no attempt has been made, until this portrait of S U (c:•% , ":; t ,-- - the Nob'o Duke was taken, to engrave frown ifiel'dag,'utite_ rot) pe, or to make it subservient to the'puTfai?s,es high art. I,Nta SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EGHAM RACES—YEsyEaDA Y. Irrespective of the Cup, the racing yesterday possessed very little interest, owing, we suspect, to the Committee, in their anxiety to make sport, having divided their race .fund into such small sums as to put good or full e- tries out of the question, and make the stakes, after deducting travelling expenses, and the fees fur riding, weighing, entering, &c., scarce worth the winning. There was racing enough, it is true, but it is beyond a doubt that the interests of the meeting would have beets quite as effectually served had the public money been divided into larger amounts. This would probably have lessened the numbcr of heats—and we confess to no predilection for them— but the stakes would have filled better, and there would have been a sufficiency of sport to satisfy any reasonable appetite. The returns appended will show that the running was not of a very exciting character ; but we give the officials credit for having done all in their power to bring it to a close in good time. The attendance was fair enough for a first day, then weather all that could be desired, and the ground in very good order.
