THE SCHOOLMASTER ABROAD.—John Lamb, a lad about 10 years of ago, whose head scarcely reached the top of the dock, was charged betore Mr. Bi❑gham with throwing stones in Hyde-park, and damaging Mrs. Sid ney Smith's carriage. The constable who had the charge stated that it was not Mrs. Sidney Smith's intention to appear to press the charge, and handed to the magistrate the following note trom the boy's moLher:— •' Molber-street Police Corte. " J. Lamb i went to Lady sedney smith and she sade she did not want the Katie to go anney forether as he was so yong and he did not do it on porperes." The reading of this note caused great laughter in court. The boy was then directed to be handed over to the care of his mother. THE EFFECTS Or TLIE BOTTLE.—Amelia Van Hash, the widow of the late cel-brated artist of that name, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with being drunk and annoying several gentlemen in Coventry street. _ _ _ Constable 117 C said, on the previous night, be was on duty in Coventry-street, where he saw the prisoner, who was the worse for liquor, go up to several gentlemen and lay hold of their arms. As the gentlemen seemed much annoyed at the prisoner's conduct, witness went up to her and requested her to desist, and go home quietly. Instead of taking his advice she abused him with such disgusting language that he was obliged to take her to the station. At the latter place her lan guage was equally bad and obscene. The prisoner denied the charge in Coto, and said she was a respectable woman, and not accustomed to get tipsy. Mr. BINGHAM was incredulous as to the latter fact, and fined her 10s., or in default to be committed for 7 days. tlr. Samuel Sharman, undertaker, Mount-street, Grosvernor-square, was charged with being drunk and disorderly. The charge having been proved by 111 C, the fino of ss. was inflicted. Francis 111' Hugh, gentleman, was charged with the same offence, and was liberated on paying the usual drunkard's fine of ss. SPORTING NOTES. No. CXVII. THE LEAMINGTON STAKES, &73. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The field for the Leamington Stakes, it is ex pected,will consist of the following viz.,:—Windischgratz , Fogleman, Herbert, The Cocktail, Windhound, one of Lord Exeter's, Grief, Goldfinder, The Castle (d), Sprite filly, Miss Julia, Avis, Leap-year, and perhaps Tight waist. One or two others, such as Clothworker, Valen tine, or Sauter-la-Coupe, may also start, but it is very dubious. My opinion of the decision remains unaltered FUGLEMAN or HERBERT to win, with Grief, Goldfiuder, and the Cocktail in attendance, in the order I have placed them.

REPRESENTATION OF EAST YORKSHIRE.—A meet ing of the Conservative gentry of the East Riding was held at Beverley on Wednesday last to take measures for supply ing the vacancy occasioned by the recent death of Mr. Henry Broadley. Mr. Yarburgh GrUme, Mr. Phillip Saltmarshe, jun., of Saltmarshe, near Howden, and several other gentlemen successively declined the proffered honour of becoming a candidate. A requisition was then unani mously signed, calling upon Mr. Edward Christopher Eger ton, son of Mr. Wilbraham Egerton, of Tatton-park, Cheshire, to offer himself at the ensuing election. Mr. Eger ton is the nephew of Sir Tatton Sykes, of Hedmere, who presided at the meeting, and it is believed that he will com ply with the requisition sent to him. THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY., AUG. 30,—The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com pany's ship Tagus, Captain J. Russell, sailed yesterday (Friday) for Gibraltar, Malta, and Constantinople, with a full cargo and several passengers, among whom was the Archdeacon of Gibraltar. The return of passengers who have landed at Southampton during the month of August again exhibits a considerable increase when compared with the corresponding period of 1850. The total number of tra vellers from all parts of the world who have landed in the Southampton Decks in the month ending this day is 7,452, bringing 12,011 packages of baggage, against 2,185 passen gers with 5,846 packages of baggage in August, 1850, show ing an increase of 5,2;7 persons and 6,165 packages of bag gage. The number of foreigners included in this month's return is not so large as might have been anticipated, being only 2,517, of which 1,893 were males and 608 females, with 16 children. The returns areprincipally swelled by the great aug mentation in the number of passengers from Paris and Havre, in consequence of thecheap through fares adopted by the Lon don and South-Western Railway Company. The total num ber from Havre has been 3,629, against 5 - 85 last year. The South-Western steamers from France being always crowded, sometimes inconveniently and almost dangerously so, on several occasions as many as '250 to 300 persons having been conveyed across the Channel, while the size of the steamers employed afforded little more than standing r,om for so large a number of passengers during a Channel trip of from nine to ten hours duration. The Postmaster-General has ordered a daily mail bag to be made up at the General Post-office for Havre, to be forwarded via Southampton. Letters therefore mailed in London by 5.30 P.M., and addressed by way of Southampton, will be delivered in Havre the next morning, thus affording a great convenience to the mercantile interest. The schooner yacht America has sailed from Cowes for the Thames. THE RECENT FIRE NEAR LONDON-BRIDGE.--The restoration of the warehouses belonging to Mr. Alderman Humphery, at the Southwark end of London-bridge, which were destroyed by the great tire about two months ago, is rapidly progressing; Messrs. Cubitt and Co., the eminent builders, having undertaken to complete the work in a period of three months, the premises being required for the warehousing of hops by the close of the hop season. Every preca u ti on h as b een taken in the construction of the building to prevent the recurrence of such a conflagration, and the two lower floors are divided from three upper by brick arches with iron girders. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—Mr. Webster re-appearei on Saturday, after a l ong a b senc e, occasioned by a serious indisposition. Turtiffe and the Serious Family were re vived 01 the occasion. LON DON, LITERATURE. SIR JOHN FRAAKLIN EV THE ARCTIC RE GIaNS. by P. L. Simmonds. Mr. Simmonds here gives ua an account of the va rious expeditions to the Arctic Regions, "showing the progress of British enterprise for the discovery of the North-West passage during the 1911 century." All the voyages of the courageous discoverers are re counted, together with those 3ubsequently undertaken, for th , ? assh,tanee of Sir John Franklin. There is a spirited poem at the commencement, originally ad dressed to Dr. Leichardt, which the author has slightly altered, to suit the enterprising traveller, who, in the words of the song— " Scorning hope of selfish gain, disdaining soft repose, Went forth to trace a pathway through unyielding ice and snows." CHEMISTRY OF THE CRYSTAL PALACE. By Thomas Griffiths. This is a scientific work, chiefly on metals. It is a popular account of the chemical properties of the chief materials employed in the construction of the Crystal Palace. It is written by the late Professor of Chemistry, in St. Bartholomew's Hospital ; and ai everything connected w ith the Great Exhibition is now looked upon with interest, we doubt not that this volume will be a favourite with many. THE ANCIEN T B1?1T UNS; a Tale of Primeval Life. __ THE VILLA G ASTIiONOMER. Matilda Wrench. " The Ancient Britons" is a work which is calcu lated to give much information respecting those far off times of which it treats. As the author justly observes in the preface, " the state of society among the ancient Britons is involved in much obscurity, and chiefly, it may be presumed, because no imagina tive writer has attempted its elucidation." The pre sent volume is well calculated to dispel the obscurity and to make us see the ancient Britons in all their various occupations and actions, as they were. " The Village Astronomer" is one of those simple country tales translated from the German which are always attractive. This volume is no exception to the rule, and is a pleasing story with a joyful conclusion. THE FINCHLEY MANUALS OF INDUSTRY. COOKING. Prepared for the use of the national and industrial schools at Finchley. This highly instructive work is entitled " Practical and Economical Training for those who are to be Servants, Wives, and Mothers." As such it must be exceedingly useful to all national schools and other institutions which are desirous of giving practical instruction to the class for whose . beneiit it is designed. A DEFENCE OF IGIVORANCE. By the Author of " How to Make Home Unhealthy." Our author has adopted u,new plan, which is, instead of gravely pointing out the laults and follies of the pre sent day, to ridicule themin such a manner as to give a much greater idea of their absurdity. The present work is upon the much• talked-of subject of ignorance, and we trust will have its intended effect. HISTORY OF THE FRENCH REVOLU TIONS. By T. W. Redhead. On this comprehensive and alwaystnteresting subject a new volume is sure to be welcome. It is a number of Chambers's instructive and entertaining Library, a series of books for the people, and truly the people have cause to feel grateful to those spirited and inde- fatigable publishers, who have provided them with so much information and entertainment at such a mode rate price. LAYS AND LEGENDS; or, Ballads of the New Word. By G. i hornbury. A pleasing collection of poems, many of them on historical subjects. Among these may be men tioned " Columbus in Chains," " The Battle of To basco," and " The Procession of the Dead." There is also a spirited poem on Curtius, concluding— " 'rwas men like these who founded Rome, Who kings from their proud thrones hurled, 'Twas such as these ik3t. Cteiar led To conquer half the world." ANNALS OF ULSTER; or, Ireland Fifty Years Ago. Compiled by Mr. J. M'Scrimin. This is a collection of information respecting Irish societies, and the various events, some of them of a tragic nature, that have occurred since 1800. It forms an interesting volume for those who desire to trace the political history of that country. HEALTH AND WEALTH. By Joseph Bentley An instructive work entitled "Health and Wealth," —how to get, preserve, and enjoy them ; or Physical and Industrial Training for the People." With such objects in view it cannot fail to prove useful. WOMAN IN THE NINETEENTH CEN TURY. By S. Margar et Fuller. This is the work of - a well-known authoress, and is written in a superior style. The authoress has evi dently taken great interest in her subject, and her views are not of that extreme kind so often to be found in works of this class. HUGhES'S OUTLINES OF PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY. On varied subjects connected with geography, this instructive work conveys much useful information. It is chiefly adapted to those somewhat advanced in science. It is illustrated with eight coloured maps. IMAGINATREV. A very forcible work, describing the power of imagi nation in promoting poetry, sciencke, and philosophy, exemplyfying her influence on the life of man, and con cluding by painting her eternal existence in Paradise. POEMS, ESSAYS. AND ()PINIONS. By A. B. Richards, Barristzr at-Law. These are chiefly selections from the author's writings in the Mirror of the Time. They are varied in their subjects. Some of the poems are very grace ful, others are satires on various political subjects. Among the former may be mentioned" The Convict's Escape," founded on a paragraph which appeared iu the newspapers some time since. It is pleasingly versified. TUE WORKING GLASSES OF GREAT BRI TAIN. Prize Essay. By the Rev. Samuel Green. This is on a comprehensive subject, which it views in varied aspects. It being a prize essay sufficiently speaks for its merits. BEATRICE; or, The Influence of Words. By J• S. Junes. A simple and interesting moral tale, and though, perhaps, in some points its chief idea is carried to an extreme, it is so varied in its characters and natural in its descriptions, that it must induce those who commence to trace the fate of its heroes to the conclusion, which, we will add, for the benefit of those who dislike melancholy finales, forms a very satisfactory end to the chances and changes of the tale. The EARLY CONFLICTS of CHRISTIANITY. By the Rev. J. Biss. . _ The object of this work is to exemplify the diffi culties of the faith and the severity of its strife—the seemingly insuperable opposition it met with form the strength and unbelief of the Jews. LIFE FOR LIFE; or, the Law written in the Heart. A short and simple tale, the object of which is not very clearly defined. The hero, in a fit of rage, takes another's life and flies the country ; he seeks a new world, where his eccentricity excites attention, and, finally, driven to despair by remorse, he sails over a cataract. It is well written, and in teresting to those who admire the terrible. THE BURIED GI ty OF THE EAST. This is a very interesting work on Nineveh, con taining an account of the labours of Mr. Layard and the French savant Bottm. It describes the Assyrian palaces, the warriors in their peculiar mode of fight ing, the religion , and worship of the people, &c. THE PLEASURES of.2IIUSIC. By J. a Ferguson. A very pleasing little poem, describing, in a tasteful manner, the pleasures of music, the effect of sacred music in cathedral and Presbyterian worship, the feeling it produces at a soldier's funeral, and various other occasions. It is written throughout in a very superior style, and its success is proved by this being the second edition. LECTURES DELIVERED at LITERARY IN STITUTIONS. By W. Leatham. These lectures are on the American war, the poets f the nineteenth century, and the French revolution. PALESTINE ; or, a History of the Holy Land. A most interesting work, containing a description of the climate, the soil, its productions, and com mencing the history at the call of Abraham an d continuing it to the present time. It also gives an ac count of the Crusades, and of Bonaparte and Sir Sidney Smith at Acre. LESSONS on INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION, for the U.,e of Female Schools. By a Lady. A most praiseworthy little volume, containing information on domestic economy and moral con duct in a very attractive form. It will prove most valuable to the young, on whom the advice it con tains is likely to make more impression from its being s o pleasingly joined with entertainment. GOVERNMENT OUT OF TOWN.—Most of her Ma• jetty's Ministers are at present absent from London. Lord John Russell is with the Queen, at Balmoral. Sir George Grey is cruising in an Admiralty yacht. The Chancellor of the Exchequer is at his country seat, as is Lord Grey. The Lord President and Sir Francis Baring are only in town oc casionally for a day, Mr. Labouchere has gone to Spain, and almost all the secondary members of the Administration are away. But for the presence of Lord Palmerston Ludon might 4 "Q O be laid to bo iiiith94 a Ciop:cogent. ~- EVENING, MO NDAY AME RICAN NEWS. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY MORNING.

She has 50,000 dolls. in specie on freight. _ _ The Europa, on this occasion, sailed from Boston at 2 30 P.M. on the 20th, and arrived at Halifax after a detention of eight hours off the harbour by fog, at 7 55 A.M. on the 221, and proceeded to sea again at 9 3 A.M., after a detention of one hour and eight minutes, arrived off Holyhead at 8 40 F.M. last evening, and saluted the Rock Lighthouse- at 3 30 this morning, after a run of 9 days, 23 hours, and 12 minutes, mean steaming time. The Royal Mail steam-ship Canada, Captain Har rison, arrived at Boston at 2 30 rad. on the 19th inst., after a run of 10 days, 8 hours, and 40 minutes, mean time. The night prior to the arrival of the Europa at Ha lifax the officers of her Majesty's ship Cumberland, Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour, K.C.Li., gave a magnificent ball and supper on board to the Admiral and family. The domestic intelligence by this arrival is not very interesting. A fire had occurred at Oswego, destroying property to the amount of 100,000 dolls. At Louisville the cholera had broken out in a malig nant form, caused, it was supposed, by heavy rains and great heat. From Toronto, Canada, we learn that the Legisla tive Assembly had adopted the Government resolu tions of appropriating 16,000,000 dolls. towards build• ing the Grand Trunk Railway through Canada and New Brunswick to Halifax, Nova Scotia. On the 23d, a passenger train was to run for the first time over the Champlain and St. Lawrence Railroad, which completes the railway communication between Montreal and Boston. Our Havannah advice& extend to the Bth inst. There was no intelligence of the landing of Lopez up to that date. The official paper contains a list of rebels who had given themselves up, trusting to the clemency of the Government. Our accounts are again very conflicting, but we extract the following items from the papers : " BOSTON, Auo. 18. " The brig Eliza Burgess arrived •at this port this morning from San Juan de Cuba, with dates to the sth instant. She reports that all was perfectly quiet in that part of the island. Disturbances had been heard of on the other side, but the general opinion at San Juan was that they did not amount to much." "BALTIMORE, Ana. 18. " The Savannah News contains a letter from Jack sonville (where a vessel had arrived from Cardenas) which says it was reported in the latter place that the Government troops had had several encounters with the patriots; one of some importance, in which the latter had completely routed the Spaniards killing 100 men and capturing 14 pieces ot artillery. It also confirms the rising ot Villa Clara, Trinidad, Santiago, and Final del Rio. So there only remains to the Spanish Government Havannah and Matanzas in the western department." The Charleston News says— " The steamer William Gaston arrived yesterday morning from Florida. We learn by this arrival that on Monday evening last, the 11th instant, a brig arrived at Jacksonville from Cardenas in five days, and reports that all the previous accounts published of the success et the patriots over the Spanish troops are correct; tha: the patriots are daily increasing in numbers, and are sanguine of success. They have possession of many strong places, and are well supplied with arms and ammunition. They are daily awaiting the landing of General Lopez at some point on the island, when there would be a general rising of the people." The New Orleans Delta contains the following:— " We have authentic intelligence that the French ves sels of war stationed near Cuba have tendered their ser vices to the Government of that island to aid it against the people, and have actually been engaged in the trans portation of troops from Havannah to various parts of the island." A correspondent of the New York Herald writes : " BATON ROUCIE, Arc. 9.—The steamboat Cuba, from Vicksburg, has just landed here, having on board a large party of young men bound to Cuba by way of New Orleans. They are accompanied by a band 'of music, and are in fine spirits. (BY TELEGRAPH.) NEW YORK, AVG. 21. Steady business in cotton at former Prices. More doing in flour at previous quotations.

At Vera Cruz there was nothing of note stirring, and, as is usual, no business of consequence doing, though the place was remarkably healthy for this season of the year. The Government had ordered alditional taxation to be placed upon specie. The law as it now exists exacts 18 per cent. from every dollar that leaves the country. This includes a duty of 4 per cent. for the privilege of circulating it, and 8 per cent. as a con sumption duty. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, MONDAY, Auo. 18, Slx P.M.

The continued drought in Mis sissippi, Louisiana, and Alabama, is referred to in our last advices from Mobile and New Orleans, and the stock on sale at the former port had been withdrawn, by or ders from the planters, in consequence of the unfavoura ble change in the appearance of the crop. Light and frequent showers, however, between this period and the occurrence of frost, would repair any damage yet sus tained, provided the worm does not appear.

At eight o'clock this morning her Majesty left Holyrool, under a salute from the Castle, and at tended by a large concourse of people from St. Mar garet's station. The royal train stopped for a few minutes at the Torbert Junction station, where the engine took in water, and then proceeded onwards to Stirling, where the train passed slowly while a royal salute was being fired from the Castle guns. At Perth the train stopped a few minutes, and also at Forfar and Lau rencekirk, crowds of people being assembled at each station to give her Majesty a loyal welcome. The last station on this line of progress where the royal party were to stop was Stonehaven, about fifteen miles from Aberdeen, where the royal carriages were in waiting to receive her Majesty, and put the royal party through the Slug-road to Balmoral. Here her Majesty had given orders for luncheon, and the direc tors of the railway had made every preparation for the comfort of the Royal Family and suite. The station was converted into a handsome suite of apartments, consisting of two dining-rooms, drawing-room, and ante-room, elegantly furnished. An arch of ever greens, surmounted by a crown, was erected across the line at the station, and flags were flying in all directions. Notwithstanding that it rained heavily all the morning, the whole of the inhabitants of the village had turned out to welcome her Majesty, and were joined by a large number of the people of Aberdeen. At a quarter to one o'clock the royal train arrived, and her Majesty and Royal Consort were received by Mr. Alexander Pirie, deputy-chairman of the com pany, Mr. C. Lumsden, Major Christie, Mr. A. Thomson, of Banchory, Mr. P. Davidson, of Inch marlo, and other directors. Her Majesty was in ex cellent spirits, and in her usual condescending man ner acknowledged the polite attention which had been shown to heia The royal party remained at luncheon for half an hour, and started from the station at twenty minutes past one, her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Princess Royal, and the Prince of Wales occupying the first carriage; in the second were the ladies in waiting and the younger royal children ; and the third was a char- ez-banc, which contained the Premier, Sir James Clark, Co lonel Phipps, &c., and drove up the picturesque glen of Ury at a rattling pace, Mr. Robertson, of the Royal Hotel, Aberdeen, piloting the way. Although a cold north wind blew, and the tops of the distant moun tains had a thin covering of snow which fell in the morning, her Majesty had her carriage open, and ap peared really to enjoy the bracing air of the hills. The road through the Slug is shut in by screens of mountain scenery, and for six or seven miles is wild enough ; but on emerging from the pass at the north end a fine country opens, and soon after the sylvan scenery of Dee-side bursts upon the view. At half-past three o'clock the royal cortege reached the village of Banchery, where all the gentry of the surrounding neighbourhood and a vast con course of the tenantry and villagers had assembled. Here the royal carriage was detained about twenty minutes, owing to a slight accident to one of the car riages of the suite at the bridge of Feugh, and during this time her Majesty and the Prince conversed freely with several gentlemen who had the honour to be present on the occasion. The weather was now much improved, and the sun shone forth in splendour. The Royal progress up Dee-side was one of a very pleasing character, the people everywhere hailing the return of the Queen with delight, her Majesty in the most gracious man ner acknowledging the humblest salutation. At Aboyne, when her Majesty drew up, at a quar ter before five o'clock ; a large assemblage of people had collected, and they greeted their Royal visitors with a hearty cheer. While the horses were being changed her Majesty courteously entered into con versation with Lord Aboyne. The juvenile pipers of Mr. Hepburn, of Riccarton, and Captain Forbes, of idinglassie, played some spirited music. Her Ma jesty was again loudly cheered on departing. At Ballater, which was reached at 6 o'clock, the guard of honour of the 42d was drawn up in the square, and a number of special constables were also in attendance. Handsome banners were displayed in the centre of the square, and on the north end of the Monaltrie Arms Ina. A large and respectable assem blage raised a cheer as her Majesty appeared. Among those present we observed the Hon. C. Caven dish (with whom Colonel Gordon and Colonel Phipps entered for a short time into conversation), Lady Cavendish, Sir Richard King, Mr. Sullivan, Lady Clark, Mr. Ditshwood, the Hon. George Curzon, &c. Her. Majesty did not leave the carriage, but imme diately drove off on the fresh horses being attached. Crossing the water of Lochmuick her Majesty came in sight of the hills of Lorimuir, on Prince Albert's estate of Birkhall. A very little farther on, her Ma jesty saw some of the new cottages Prince Albert has this year built for the accommodation of the cotters and labourers on his estate; and the fine new approach that has been opened up within the last few days to Birkball. It appears to be scarcely finished yet, but quite fit for use. On Birkhall itself a number of im provements have been effected. The garden has been entirely remodelled, and several fine terraces, plots, and parterres introduced. It is at present tenanted by Sir James Clark, whose lady posted down to Ballater, previously to her Majesty's arrival, to assist in the welcome given to the royal cortege in that village. Her Majesty then proceeded up the hill, through the woods of Knock, the timber of which is in a very thriving state and pretty large. The royal cortege then entered Straitbgirnock, on the estate of Aber geldie, of which Prince Albert has a 40 years' lease, and passed the site of the old Castle of Straitbgirnock, opposite the large bleak hill called Coylacreich. Near this point the water of the Girnock enters the Dee, and the view opens on the north side of the river to the hill of Morven, the top of which was shrouded in a dense cloud. The road then lay through fine groves of natural birch to Abergeldie. The royal party next came upon the mansion of Aber geldie, on which many new improvements have been effected. The whole exterior of the building has been harled," a new belfry erected over the clock, a con venient laundry thrown up near the house, &c. In passing the new Lochnagar distillery, the Clachintu rin, and bridge of Cratbie, the royal party had an opportunity of observing the numerous new cottages that have been built by her Majesty this season for the benefit of the poorer cotters on her estate. Craig engowan, the birch-clad hill that surmounts Balmo ral, and one of the most favourite walks of her Ma jesty, was the next attraction. A small fog-house has been erected on it, for rest and refreshment. On arriving at the gate of Balmoral, which was reached at a quarter- past seven, her Majesty was greeted by the rustic, but respectful salutations of one or two countrywomen, and a few children, so tho roughly roughly is the idea established in the minds of the neighbouring cotters and villagers that her Majesty is to be looked upon, not as an occasional visitor, but as a regular residenter, that it seems to be held equally unnecessary and improper to make any unusual de monstration. Her Majesty, with the Royal children, at once retired within the house, but his Royal High ness and suite remained outside the Castle for some time to enjoy the scenery. The entrance to the Castle and several of the approaches are under the care of a few London and rural policemen, whose posts are si necures. The roads up and down the south sides of the river on either side of Balmoral have been much improved, and many tasteful floral devices and bor ders, beds of roses, &c., have been introduced in the Castle grounds. Improvement has also been effected in the drainage of the Castle, and in the way of trenching and levelling the ground between it and the Dee. The game on Prince Albert's estate are said to be plentiful and strong this season. (From the Court Circular.) HOLYROOD PALACE, AUG. 28. Her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the Royal Family, left Doncaster, by special train, at nine o'clock this morning, attended by the suite, and arriving at the station in Edinburgh at half-past three, P.M., where the royal carriages were in waiting, immediately proceeded to the Palace of liolyrood, escorted by a party of the Enniskillen Dragoons. Lord John Russell has the honour of accompany ing her Majesty on her journey. On arriving, her Majesty was met by the Duke of Buccleuch, by the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, and by the Sheriff of Midlothian. The Queen and Prince, with the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred, drove out, between five and six o'clock, through the principal streets of the city. The Lord Provost was presented to her Majesty by Lord John Russell, and received the honour of knighthood. The Duke of Buccleuch bad the honour of receiv ing an invitation to dinner. THE GREAT EXHIBITION- On Saturday the receipts at the doors of the building foil to 1,306/. 155., the number of visitors being only 13,052. If a further reduction in the price of admission is to be made, now is the time for it. The !mean tempe rature during the day was 58.2 according to Mr. Bennett's thermometers. VAUXHALL. —In place of diminishing the attrac tions of this unique place of amusement since the reduction of the price of admission to one shilling, it has been deter mined to go bey ond the efforts made tor higher-priced vi sitors. Independ ent of .grand galas and cites, the veteran Green makes an ascent in his great Nassau balloon to-night, and a balloon race by celebrated aeronauts takes place on Wednesday. With such well-directed i catering, weather per mitting, enormous success s certain. The parochial authorities of St. Clements Dneof s h a ve at length bestirred themselves for the suppressioan the obscene and blasphemous print-shops in Holy-well street, and on Saturday convened a vestry to adopt steps to bring about their removal and the removal of the colony of thieves and prOstitUte-1 is Nocutle-count. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. DEVONPORT, FRIDAL—The remains of the late Rear-Admiral Superintendent, Lord John Hay, were last night removed from St. Michael's-terrace, Stoke, to the official residence in the dockyard, prior to embarkation for Scotland. Lord John Hay, flag-lieutenant and nephew to the late Rear-Admiral Superintendent, has received his promotion to the rank of commander. The Sprightly, steam-tender, arrived this morning from Portsmouth with supernumeraries, and is to sail again this afternoon to return to that port. The Pique, frigate, under jurymasts, left the Sound yesterday for Pembroke. The Superannuation Board sit in the Docyard on Monday next, and will do so the first Monday of each succediog month until the number of men is reduced to the establishment by superannuation. It is reported that on the appointment of the suc cessor to the late Lord John Hay, Rear-Admiral Superiutendent of Devonport Dockyard, the secre tary will be selected by the Board of Admiralty from among the clerks of that establishment, it being now fully understood that the electing a person wholly ignorant of the duties—as in the case of a naval officer—is highly inconvenient, if not detrimental to the service. If such is to he the case, it will afford another proof that their Lordships are not only actively alive to the interests of th e ser vice, but are willing to dojustice to the clerks of these establishments, whose right to the office of secretary and the very few other positions to which they have a chance of advancement ought to be con sidered. But, regardless of every other considera tion, it is evident that such a selection as that now spoken of should be made, in order that the confiden tial clerk may be able to guide the affairs of such large establishments with the confidence that a knowledge of what is required in the different departments will enable him to do.--Herald. Porrsmoura, SIINDAY.—T he Lieuten ant- Governor Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, and his Aide-de. Camp, Major Harvey, have proceeded to Dublin for a week or ten days, on a visit to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. Captain G. Bohun Martin, it is expected, will be the Flag-captain, and Mr. Tripheok, Paymaster, R.N., Secretary to Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs, on his appointment as Commander-in-Chief at Ports mouth. Tne Fairy yacht, Master Commander Welsh, was again brought on the graving slip at Portsmouth, on Friday, and the flexible screw unshipped, it having been found that it increased her tremulous motion and decreased her speed, when she was tried on Thursday last, though the contrary had been stated in several papers. The Fairy shipped her old screw on Friday, and on Saturday, with Captain Crispin on board, went down to Osborne. The Avon, Devonport steam-tender, arrived from that port yesterday, bringing up seamen for the Ven geance, 84, Captain Lord Edward Russell, which has completed her crew. Tne Avon returned to Devon port the same evening. The Blenheim, ludiaman, arrived this morning outward bound. The Prince of Wales, for Calcutta, and Trafalgar, also for Calcutta, sail for their desti- nation to-morrow. The Prince of \Vales and the Marlborough, India ships, arrived from the River, on Friday morning. The Vengeance, 84, Captain Lord Edward Russell, got under weigh at Spithead this afternoon at two o'clock, and sailed for the Mediterranean. Captain Lord Edward Russell lost a large sum of money last week, but whether accidentally or by robbery is not very clear. His Lordship started from Lon don on Wednesday evening, with bank-bills to the amount of 5001., and Bank of England notes to the amount of 1401. He came down via Brighton, where he stopped some time, and then came on to Portsmouth, and it was not until mid-day on Thurs . day_ that he discovered he was minus the bank-notes. The Hercules, troop and store-ship, Master-Com mander Fulton, will be paid off here on Tuesday. It is said that the officers and crew of the Belle rophon, 78 (which is ordered here from Devonport), will be turned over to the Hercules, and take her to Malta to relieve the Ceylon at that station, as the depot-ship. The Centaur steam-frigate, Captain Cannon, flag of Rear-Admiral W. W. Henderson, C. 8., &c., hauled off into the stream yesterday to swing for the adjustment of her compasses. The Vulcan iron steam (screw) troop-ship, Master- Commander Penn, was docked yesterday, to hare her bottom examined. The Phaeton, 50, Captain G. Elliot, and the En counter, 14, Captain Gordon, are ordered to be de tached from Commodore Martin's Equadron, and to join that of Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker in the Mediterranean. The Rolla, instruction brig for the seamen appren tices, Lieutenant Fenwick commander, returned to harbour on Saturday after a week's cruise in the Channel during the late foul weather. On Tuesday morning, on her passage to Dover, one of the appren tices missed his footing while coming down the main rigging and fell overboard, the ship at the time going four knots, with studdingsails set on both sides, and a long swell setting from the westward; his fall was observed by Witham Luxton, sailmaker of the vessel, who instantaneously plunged in after him, and, so great was his coolness and presence of mind, that, after getting hold of the drowning boy, be succeeded in obtaining a grasp of the patent log line which for tunately was towing astern. When got on board he was thoroughly exhausted, but the boy so rescued, although much frightened, was none the worse fur bis ducking. A splendid squadron of merchant ships has been at Spithead during the past week,—the Earl of Hard wick, for Bombay; the Loudon, for New York ; the Vimeira, for Sydney; the Prince of Wales, for Calcutta; and the Trafalgar for Madras and Calcutta, —ships which no country in the world could match. Another arrived this morning, the Blenheim, fur Cal cutta. This ship is 1,660 tons, builder's measure ment, flush decked, built with immense strength and great store of room, calculated to carry 48 32-pounder long guns, for which armament she is pierced. She is full of cargo, has 40 passengers, and carries out, among other items, six fine horses, one a thorough bred, ❑amed General Washington, out of the stud of the late Earl of Albemarle, and recently the property of Mr. Gully. With such ships as these the mercan tile marine has as little to fear from the competition of the foreigner as the British ,nan•of-war has from the rivalry of other would-be maritime nations. The Victoria, a fine New York packet, arrived on Saturday from the Thames. APPOINTMENTS. Woomvica, AUG. 30.

WO2CIISTER, SATIJEDAY.—IIe results of the late festival, which terminated last night, or rather this morning, with a fashionably attended ball at the Guildhall assembly -room, will, in a pecuniary point of view, be very unsatisfactory. The falling off in the receipts for the charity for the relief of clergy men's widows and orphans, however, will not be so considerable as at one time had been anticipated, the receipts on Toursday and Frida y having be en l arger than had been anticipated. The following return gives a comparative view of the receipts f or th e charity at the Worcester Festivals of 1848 and 1851: 1848. 1851. £3OO ... £302 283 ... 216 162 ... 165 213 ... 201 Tuesday ..• Wednesday ". Thursday ". Friday.— £958 £BB4 Of the above 8841. the members of the corporation of Worcester, who attended the festival in state on the first morning, contributed 231. The collection at Gloucester last year was 8621., and at Hereford, in 1849, 833/. Worcester, however, always realises the largest collection. I► is anticipated that when the general accounts come to be made up they will show a considerable deficiency, which would have to be made good entirely by the stewards but for the pre science of the managers, who have secured a guarantee Rind from the public amounting to nearly 8001. The attendance at the morning performances, compared with those at the morning performances of 1848, showed the following result : _ 1851. Tuesday morning Wednesday morning Thursday morning 739 Friday morning 1848. 1,497 1,400 602 970 4,441 4,469 The falling off, therefore, in the attendance at the morning performances was trifling, but it is at the evening concerts that there has been such a decline in point of attendance. In connexion with the festival the following strange letter has been published in to-day's Wor cester paper : " Tibberton, near Droitwich, Worcestershire, Aug. 25. 44 My Lord,—On Saturday afternoon I received a card from the Mayor of Worcester, inviting m e to breakfast on Tuesday next. The invitation seemed to take it for granted that I was going to attend the Mu s i ca l Festival. Unless your Lordship, who I perceive is pre.. sident, can show me that such an assemblage of op e r a , and theatre performers within the walls of the cathedral is not making God's house of prayer a den of thieves, I must, as I have hitherto done, avoid such a mixture of sacred and profane persons and things, for I know it to be contrary to God's most holy word, to the teachi the primitive church, and of the United Church of r ng of rag. land and Ireland. " I write to thank the Mayor for his courtesy (be lieving that, with many excellent persons, he errs in ignorance), but declining his invitation, and it is my in tention to publish this letter early to-morrow morning. " I have the honour to be, my Lord, praying God to give you grace to remove all scandals from your diocese, " Your Lordship's faithful, sorrowful, and most humble servant and presbyter, "Lucius ARTHUR, Curate of Oddingley.

Another application was made on Saturday for th e reception of bail in the case of Staden, who is charged, together with Broome and another, with cheating as Brighton, under circumstances already known to the public. On Wednesday Mr. William Brisket Davies, attorney, of No. 6, Swan-street, Trinity-square, applied to the Lord Chief Baron, at his chambers, in Rolls'- gardens, Chancery-lane, for the issuing of a writ of habeas corpus to bring up the prisoner, Charles Staden, before his Lordship, in order that bail might be tendered on his behalf. The writ of habeas corpus was ordered to issue, and made returnable at the chambers of the Lord Chief Baron on Saturday, at two o'elook.—Mr. Sill, of Tavistock 7 row, Covent-garden, attorney for the prosecution, attended accordingly at the Lord Chief Baron's chambers, at the time named. On appearing before his Lordship, Mr. Sill said he wished that every thing should proceed with regularity, and he should be glad, therefore, to know who the party was who at tended for the prisoner. —The Lord Chief Baron in quired of that gentlemen, and he replied that he was clerk to Mr. Davies.—Mr. Sill said he apprehended that Mr. Davies should have attended himself.—The Lord Chief Baron: Certainly, where is Mr. Davies 7 The clerk replied that he was gone to bring the bail.— The Lord Chief Baron: Where are they? why are they not in attendance?—The clerk said they were gone to get refreshments, and would be there immediately. 'The Lord Chief Baron—Why are they not here? It is now ten minutes past two o'clock.—The clerk said they would be present in a few minutes.—The Lord Chief Baron said he should not wait; they should have been in attendance.—The clerk again repeated that the bail would be immediately present. The Lord Chief Baron, however, said he should not wait for them, and added, "Go to the magistrarts; go to the magistrates." As his Lordship was leaving, b,:r. Sill said that four ap plications for bail had already been made before the magistrates without success, and ho expressed a hope that the prosecutor should not be put to further expense in attending before his Lordship, and that another habeas would not be issued.—The Lord Chief Baron said that none should be issued by him, and immedi ately retired. His Lordship had scarcely left his chambers when Mr. Davies, attended by the proposed bail, entered the outer office. He was accompanied by J. Broome and Staden, the latter being brought up by the gaoler in obeditnce to the writ of habeas. The Lord Chief Baron, however, having gone, nothing could be done, and the parties left, Staden to be re-conveyed to Lewes Gaol. UPMINSTER, ESSEX. The poor of this parish the other day presented their young pastor, the Rev. W. A. Hill, with a handsome silver inkstand, on the occasion of his leaving them to take a larger charge at St. Barnabas, South Kennington. Oaly twenty months have elapsed since Mr. Hill began the duties of this charge, and so unremitting has been the zeal with which be has performed bis duties in the church, the school, and in the sick room, that he has won the universal esteem and affection of rich and poor. During this period Mr. Hill has suc ceeded in raising 700/. for the erection and maintenance of national schools in the pariah, which are now in active operation; and this was the more creditable in a widely scattered population, and considering the dlficulti,s, known only to country clergymen, of collecting money for similar purposes. By thus earnestly providing for the intellectual and temporal, as well as the spiritual wants of his pa rishioners, he gave the best proof of his anxiety for their welfare. We recollect that, acting en the benevo lent principle of the Rev. Mr. Brown, late of Spital fields, he invited the poor of his parish to spend one long summer day at his house, where, in the lawn in front, after having partaken of their worthy pastor's hospi tality they joined in various country sports and games prepared for them, and the air rang with the juy of youth, while all looked on with parental lovea nd happiness. And when the sun began to sink thein west, and each pressed forward to thank their young pastor for the happy day they had spent, it was impossible to mistake the hearty shake of the hand—the starting tear of the old—the glad eye of the young — only toned down by an expression of love and respect for one who had made them so happy. The dullest ob server might have seen that an important spring of human action bad been touched, and that the minds of these simple peasants, like a well-ploughed field, were open to receive the seed of truth. For it is in the hearts of her people that the Church must hope to develope the power and divinity of Protestantism. Dere lies her strength—the strength in fact of all churches.
