LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.—A renewal of the disturb &nee, between the Orangemen and Ribandmen in this town took place last Hight between right and nine o'clock. The cause of this second vio:ation of the pease arose from a considerable body of Orange- Sten, who had been holding a meeting at Newton, returning in procession with flags acid bands playing party tunes. Beyond these they do not appear to have given any offence. The police had an anonymous intimation that an attack was meditated upon the whole body, and in order to avoid such an affair, all the disposable force was so placed a s t o prevent any co lli s i on. A genera l r i o t being thus rendered impossible, individual assaults in considerable Number took place, for it was impoiviihle to prevent them, in which the Orangemen were severely handled. The aggressors In several cases were apprehended, and to.day, on being brought up at the police.court, they were all fined 51. One was sent for trial to the sessions. Tee magistrates expresi.ed their regret that such a state Of things should exist in this town, but declared their determine.. tion to maintain the law. The head constable, whilst disposing the police in effective order last night, fell from his horse and in j urcd one of his legs. Th e King - and Queen of the French, Ala/lame Adelaide, the Duchess d'Orleans, the Duke de Nemours, the Prince de Joinville, and the Duke and Duchess d'Aumale, arrived at Drew. on Frid a y evening at eight o'clrek. Immediately aft er alighting her Royal Highness the Duchess d'Orleans visited the tomb of her lamented husband. At half.past nine, a dinner to nearly two hundred guests took place, at which the Kind and the Princes were present. On the following day, the religious service In commemoration of the death of the Duke of Orleans was per formed in the Royal Chapel by M. de Corby, Bishop of Palermo, the Abbti Ouillon, Bishop of Morocco, and a numerous clergy. The King and Royal Family were all present et the melancholy ceremony. The foundition-stone of a new pier at renzam-e was Wads, lastorlth much ceremony, THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDA EVEN 1N ti, J E LY 16, ISM 6.

To the Provisional Committee of the Southern, Eastern, and Northern Railway, from Kingston to Montego Bay. Gentlemen,—l request that you will allot to me shares of 501. each in this undertaking, and I engage to pay the deposit of 21. per share upon the number allotted to me, and to sign such deeds as may be necessary iu furtherance thereof, when required to do so I am, &c. • could do less than accord ,the protection prayed. To this end, it adcpted the intelligible and efficacious course of committing both HARLOW, the plaintiff, and HARD WIN, his attorney, to the custody of the Black Rod. The expediency of this power was, we think, as plainly established on broad and general principles of what we shall call constitutional necessity, by the LORD CHAN CELLOR, as were the facts of the case. And, let us remark how cogent are the reasons on which this expediency rests. It is not even disputed that the House of Lords, whether as the supreme legislative or judicial tribunal, should retain its powers of examining witnesses upon oath. It is admitted, on all bands, that a man giving evidence before it in its judicial capacity, and in the course of his testimony either uttering libel lous reflections upon third parties, or committing per jury, would subject himself, on the evidence of two com petent witnesses, to civil action or criminal indictment. Therefore, it is asked, if you give no protection to the witness in this case, why extend it to him when exa mined before the Lords in their legislative capacity? The distinction seems to us a clear one. In a court of justice the rules of evidence are stringent and definite. The law protects the witness from the reach and scope of examination beyond certain limits, and its courts dis courage every attempt to push the interrogation of such witnesses beyond those limits. Select Committees of either House partake of the character of Parliament as the grand inquest of the nation ; and their modes of conducting inquiries into the questions referred to them are neither limited, like courts of law, to single specific issues, nor to such certain and determinate forms of exa mining evidence upon them. In a court of law the process of such investigations is more exact, if it be more limited; but then the powers of enforcing answers are much more stringent. In the witness box of is court the at tempt on one hand is to extract all the evidence you can legally compel—the object on the other is to furnish no more than court or counsel can insist upon his giving. The process is as it were under bond—one party exacts as much as he can get, the other surrenders no more than you can compel him to yield. In the Committee rooms of Parliament the witnesses are rather invited than forced. It is more difficult there than in a law court to elicit what they may desire to conceal, because there are many moral influences wanting in the one case which are very cogent in the other. But much fuller evidence on all other points is to be obtained from the spontaneous communications of witnesses, who, under the assurance of protection, feel no disposition to withhold whatever information they can give. Now how could the inquiries of Parliament be conducted without the guarantee of this protection ? The three law Lords who spoke on Monday night delivered their respective opi nions characteristically enough. The LORD CHAN• CELLOS stated the facts with his usual perspicuity. Lord BROUGHAM'S speech was one of research, marred by its technicality and its over laboured effort to adapt ge neral principles of law and equity to cases of this peculiar character. Lord CAMPBELL'S was a plain, straightforward, and, we think, successful effort to show why HARLOW'S case fairly came within that class, as to which the House of Lords were perfectly justified in vindicating their privileges, and also wherein the neces sity for those privileges consisted. In defining the vari ous objects of those privileges, Lord BROUGHAM stated these among others—namely, of declaring from time to time what those privileges were ; of declaring as occa sion arose what constituted a breach of them ; of punish ing parties pronounced by vote of the Legislature to have been guilty of a breach of them ; to inquire into any given matter ; to call all persons before them necessary for the purposes of such inquiry, and to pt o tect them in respect of evidence given by them on such occasions. Now, in the case of HARLOW and BASER, were the Lords to leave BAILER to be proceeded against, because, in evidence given before them at their desire, his disclosures happened to impugn a third party as in clined to pursue those practices into which, and the laws affecting them, the Committee of the Lords desired especially to inquire ? What sort of inducement to wit nesses to come forward with unreserved evidence before Parliamentary Committees on far more vital questions than ore which might incidentally im ply the existence of sporting propensities in a respectable tolAcconist, for example, who indignantly repudiates ttie impeachment—what inducement would the Lords /sold out for candid testimony if they did nut protect those who gave it against the sharp practice of over-z;:talons attorneys ? Under what obligation would relu.4tant witnesses feel to speak the truth which they might desire to conceal, if they felt that the forum in which they stood was powerless or unwilling to punish their cottumacy by its own independent action ? What respect would the public feel for the decisions of such a forum, which could neither compel evidence from those who had it to give, but withheld it, nor protect those who, having given it before them, should be proceeded against penally in other tribunals ? Upon the whole view of this case, as of other recent ones of the same kind, we arrive at these conclusions—that in these times the privilege of Parliament can scarcely be exercised otherwise than for the interests of the public at large ; that the possible injustice or hardship resulting to individuals from its being put in motion, especially in cases of vexatious prosecutions of witnesses examined before Parliamentary Committees and officer% of either House, is likely to be far less than the absolute mischief which would ensue to the country from the virtual abandonment of that privilege, or the submitting it to the adjudication of the common law tribunals, which Lord BROUGHAM himself argues can know nothing about it ; for that privilege, being nowheie de fined, forms no part of the written law which the Judges adininister and are the authorised expounders of. And finally, with Lord CAMPBELL, we call upon the House of Lords to persist in asserting this privilege upon the pre sent occasion in the manner they hare already adopted (not by pleading), " and thus for ever to put an end to these contumacious proceedings" against the just, legiti mate, and indispensable authority of Parliament. Madrid journals of the Bth have been received. Sixty of the Royal Halberdiers had left the capital fur Vittoria. The rince FRANCESCO DE PAULA was about to proceed to St. Sebastian, and it was understood that four of the Ministers would join the Court at Saragossa, and then accompany her MAJESTY to the Basque provinces. According to accounts from Barcelona, General CONCIIA left that place on the Bth with 2,000 men and 18 pieces of artillery, for Sobadell, which he attacked, killing 25 of the insurgents, and taking a great many prisoners. The next morning he entered Tarrosa. Owing to the vigorous measures adopted by the General, it was believed the resistance to the conscription would soon be put down. The Tiempo, a Madrid journal, publishes a protest against the abdication of Don CARLOS, signed by 58 Spanish Royalists. The document is dated Paris, the 3d June. The Eco del Commercio had been seized by the police.

A meeting of the professors of the College of France was held on Monday, to take into consideration a communication from the Minister of Public Instruction, relative to the lectures of Messrs. MreirELET and QUINET. The assembly consisted of twenty four members, and, after some discussion, a resolution was proposed by M. DE BEAUMONT, declaring that the assembly accepted the declaration of Messrs. QUINET and MICHELET, that it had not been their intention to go beyond the limits of their programme, and that none of the professors wished to act otherwise, which was carried by a majority of 17 to 7. Messrs. QUINET and MICHELET voted in the minority. We have accounts of the proceedings of the Swiss Diet now sitting at Zurich, up to the 11th instant. On that day a warm discussion took place. A. Deputy of one of what are called the Ultramontane cantons having proposed that the federal camp ordered for 1846 should not take place, and his motion being warmly supported by the cantons of the same principles, especially Uri and Lucerne, it was resisted by the Deputies of the Liberal cantons with great energy, and was defeated by a majority of 12 states and 2 half-states against 7 states and a half.state. No ad ditional particulars relative to the Massacre at Dahara had been received from Algiers. The France contains the follow ing just observations on the dreadful catastrophe:— "For the last two days the public mind has been in a state of excitement. Fresh accounts from Africa are looked for with painful anxiety, in order to form a correct opinion on the frightful burning of human bodies announced by the 4kbar, and unfortu. nately attributed to a colonel of the French army. How is it that no dispatch, no official communication has yet been received to quiet the alarmed minds of the public P It will be with difficulty admitted, that in spite of the accusatory reserve of Marshal Soult in the Chamber of Peers, the Minister has received no information on the subject. The silence of the Cabinet is thus construed in a more unfavourable light than if it had frankly avowed the truth. The butchery thus attributed to our soldiers and to our officers must be something very enormous to induce such an obsti nate silence on the subject. Such would naturally be the opinion of the country, justly tenacious of its honour, and such, in fact, it is. For our own part, in the absence of more ample information, we must confess that the act of barbarity attributed to Colonel Pellissier appears to us In correctly represented. Before trifling with the honour and dignity of those who represent our name and power in a foreign land, we wish for certain information and irrefragable proofs. It is not on a simple report, more or less plausible, that a superior officer should be accused of massacre and b a rb ar ity, unexampled perhaps in the military acts of modern Europe. If the recital should turn out to be incorrect, how bitterly should we have to reproach ourselves If, on the contrary, the fact be proved, we loudly declare that there are no expressions severe enough to stigmatise its authors. France is responsible in the eyes of neighbouring nations, and before them she will have to answer for the acts and conduct of her army. However this affair may turn out, it ought to afford the Govern. went an energetic motive for seriously occupying itself on the sub ject of the army in Africa. It is, unfortunately, well known that the habits acquired in an obstinate warfare in a countr y far removed from home have given our soldiers instincts dangerous to our dignity as a civilised power. They are ns longer enemies which our sedentary regiments have now before them, they are wild beasts which they amuse them. selves by hunting. Eye-witnesses have gone so far as to relate that to some officers of our army In Africa a razzia is ne longer s , any more than a pitiless sport, where the French, always vie. torious, treat the conquered as neither more nor less than a prey. The Government, the Chambers, and the public should, for the Interest of humanity and of our national honour, seriously exa mine into these assertions. Such a spirit should not be tolerated in an army which represents the most noble and the most civilised nation in the world. This system of cold-blooded barbarism will not only be disastrous for France, as far as her policy and her object of colonisation is concerned, but it will also tend to throw an odious stigma on the French name. The Government cannot re. main indifferent to the deplorable tendencies we have named. It will be odious to think that after having made an appeal to reli gious faith in this newly acquired land, after having established there that Christian Church, the basis of which is love towards men, the work of civilisation should be destroyed by acts worthy only of the armed bands of the middle ages."

The Lords met at Five o'clock. Lord STANLEY, in answer to Lord MONTEAGLE, said that it was the intention of the Government to introduce several amendments into the Landlords and Tenants Bill, but that they did not intend to press it forward this session. Lord BROUGHAM presented petitions from Mr. HARLOW and his attorney, Mr. HARBIN, who had been committed for a breach of privilege on the previous evening, ex pressing their contrition and their willingness to discon tinue the action which had been brought against THOMAS BAKER. The Noble and Learned Lord then moved that they should be discharged on payment of the fees, which was agreed to, and they were discharged accordingly. The Lotteries Bill passed through Committee. The Earl of CLARENDON then brought forward the motion of which he had given notice, on the subject of the existing commercial treaties with Spain, and con tended that, according to those treaties, it was clear that Spanish colonial produce ought to be permitted to be imported into this country on the same footing as the produce of the most favoured nations. The Noble Earl concluded by formally moving the resolution to that effect, of which he had previously given notice. The Earl of ABERDEEN, in reply, said that Spain had never, until recently, placed this construction on :he treaty, and instanced several cases in which Spain had refused to admit British produce on the footing of the most favoured countries, and in which, when Great Britain had admitted the produce of Portugal and France on more favourable terms than the produce of Spain, the Spanish Government had not remonstrated. The Earl of RODEN supported the motion. The Earl of CLARENDON replied, and on a division the motion was rejected by a majority of 14, the numbers being—for the mo ion 14, against it 28. The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjournerl. The Commons met at Twelve. The Turnpike Acts 13.1 l passed through Committee. The Loan Societies Bill was read a third time. The Highway Rates Bill passed through Committee. The Huns:" then went into Committee on the Lunatic Asylum Bill. Oa the clause nominating the Commissioners being put, Mr. T. DuNcomuE moved the omission of the names of the unpaid, or, as he called them, the amateur Com missioners. The amendment was opposed by Lord ASHLEY and Sir J. GRAHAM, and rejected by a majority of 39, the numbers being—for the amendment 6, against it 45. air. T. DUNcoMBE again divided the Committee on the clause awarding 1,500/. a year as the salary of the paid Commissioners. Ile moved that 1,0001. a year should be the salary. On a division the numbers were— for the amendment, 7 ; against it, 31 ; majority against the amendment, 24. The HON. GENTLEMAN took another division on the clause itself, when there appeared—for the clause, 31 ; against it, 10 ; majority in favour of the clause, 21. Clauses up to 4 were agreed to, and the House re- sumed. At the five o'clock sitting, Sir ROBERT PEEL fixed the consideration of the Scotch Poor-law Bill for Thursday next, and Sir J. GRAHAM said the vote for National Education in Ireland would be taken on Friday. In answer to Mr. LABOUCHERE, Sir R. PEEL stated his belief that the report that the Brazilian Chambers had passed a law prohibiting the importation of British cottons, unless the differential duties on the importation of Brazilian sugars into this country should be done away with, was unfounded. Lord PALMLRSTON then rose for the purpose of direct ing the attention of the House to the correspondence which bad recently taken place between the Duke of SOTOMAYOR and the Earl of ABERDEEN, on the subject of the claim of Spain to have her colonial produce admitted to this country, on the same footing as the produce of the most favoured nation. The Noble Lord concluded a very eloquent speech by moving that the House should present an address to the Crown on the question of the Spanish claim. A lengthened discussion followed, in the course of which the House was addressed by Mr. GLADSTONE, Mr. LABOUCHERE, the ATTORNEY - GENERAL, Mr, BARING, Sir G. CLERK, and Mr. BARELY, And on a division, the motion was negatived by a majority of 88. After disposing of the other orders rf the day, the House adjourned at half-past Two o'clock. A privilege question again engages the attention of Parliament, and comes before the House of Lords under circumstances well calculated to exemplify the vast im portance of the considerations which are sure to be in volved in them. It seems to be the fate of this class of cases, in nine instances out of ten, to be raised upon circumstances which are of themselves trivial in the in• verse ratio of the issues which immediately depend upon, or may be immediately determined by, them. The mo mentous character of these results, whether contingent ur direct, every one seems capable of estimating. It ap pears to be allowed, with scarcely a dissentient voice, that Parliament, which originates, digests and declares, promulgates and repeals, the laws, should hare certain powers intrinsic, as it sere, and inherent in its own con stitution, to modify the application of those laws, wher ever their literal enforcement, under exigencies either unforeseen, or of sufficiently corisidered, where such en • fore( nient might compromise the independent action of its legislative functions. It is easy to see at a glance to how vast an extent any crippling or interruption of these functions may endanger the public wel fare. But it will be difficult beforehand to particularise in detail the points which would be thus peril:ed. These, in the nature of things, must be inde terminate until the specific exigencies arise which deve lap and illustrate them. On the other hand, the rights or property which the exercise of the inherent privileges of which we speak, by Parliament, may affect or disturb, are generally of the simplest and most universal charac ter. These are such as there is little or no difficulty, irrespective of the considerations of privilege, in establish ing. Lord BROUGHAM made a ma-terly speech in soma respects, but still it seems singular that a man so astute, and a lawyer withal, should be so forward to abandon and sacrifice the first, as if so to dispose of them were the only means of maintaining the latter. The Learned Lord argued on Monday night, in the discussion on the case of Hannow v. BAKER, as if the sole and inevitable result of the House of Lords, inhibiting lIARLOW from further proceedings in an action brought by him against BAKER for certain passages in BAKER'S evidence before a Select Committee of their Lordships' House, reflecting upon the character of BAKER, must be to put BAKER as much out of the pale of civil and legal rights and protection as if he were a Brahmin of high caste about to be degraded into a Pariah. Now, what was the case ? Examined by the LORD CHANCELLOR, HARLOW admitted that he had brought an action against THOMAS BAKER for false and malicious language used by BAKER in speaking of him, the said HARLOW, in giving evidence before the Select Committee in the House of Lords on the laws respecting gaming. HARLOW stated that he had suffered much since that evidence was printed from being pointed out as a gambler ; b u t t h a t w h en h e b r o u ght his action against BAKER he did n o t k now that he was thereby committing a breach of the privileges of Parliament. But it should seem that Mr. PETER HARDWIN, his pro fessional adviser and attorney, did. BAKER, of course, appealed to the House by petition for its protection, and we are at a loss to conceive how the House of Lords CAMBRIDGE ELECTION. The polling commenced yesterday at the usual hour, at the Town-hall, and the utmost anxiety was exhibited on the part of the friends of both the Ministerial and Oppo sition candidates—Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, the newly appointed Solicitor-General, and Mr; Alexander Shafto Adair—to place their respective candidates at the head of the poll. Every exertion was made by the committees of both gentlemen to attain that end by bringing up voters from all parts as early as possible. The num bers were— AT ELEVEN O'CLOCK. For Mr. Fitzroy Kelly For Mr. Alexander Shafto Adair 275 TWO O'CLOCK. Kelly Adair THREE O'CLOCK. Kelly Adair A QUARTER TO FOUR O'CLOCK.

The official accounts of the clerks make the numbers for— Kelly Adair Majority —22 Mr. Beales, the chairman of the other committee, makes the numbers equal, and states that exactly 740 votes were polled for each candidate. Should this be the fact, the Mayor, who is a Tory, will give his vote for Mr. Kelly. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) LIVERPOOL JULY MEETING. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY EVENING. - LATEST BETTING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlK,—The meeting at Liverpool this week will be slightly under the jiverage, the very small acceptar.ces for the Cup having divested itself of its principal attraction in the eyes of the " betting world." It commences to-day with the Crox teth Stakes, for which about eight start, including Alamode, Semiseria, Corranna, and perhaps the Lancashire Witch. I shall look to the first and third for the winner. The Sefton Stakes will go into Lord G. Bentinck's pocket, with Pug or Miss Elis. The Produce Stakes, a walk over for the Black Prince. The Mersey Stakes will bring a good field together, probably ten or a dozen. I see nothing likely to beat the Princess Alice but the Peri colt and William Tell, and they will find it extremely dialcult. I think they will pass the chair as I have placed them. The Maiden Plate to Steam or Bret welder, with Ada and Triumvir close up. On Thursday the Foal Stakes, for which the winter " crack" Clear-the-way and the Connaught Ranger will be brought to the post, with one of the other two, probably Chertsey, will Prove, or ought to be, an easy gallop for Mr. Irwin's colt. fhe Tradesman's Plate or Cup will bring out a tidy field, pro bably fifteen, which will, I think, consist of the following : Cock Robin, Nereus, Little Hampton, Corranna, Rowena, Godfrey, Trueboy, Milton, Winesour, Lothario, Mickey Free, Extravaganza, Duke of Kent, Dog Billy, and Brunel ; Ever ton, Lightning, and the Ironmaster, are doubtful. Oat of these Brunel, Dog Billy , Duke of Kent, Extravaganza, Ne reus, Little Hampton, and Cock Robin stand but very little chance ; and of the remainder Mickey Free, Milton, and Winesour are the best. In conclusion, I shall expect to see Milton or Mickey Free first, with Winesour and Mr. Meiklam's lot close up.-1 am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.' -SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) CROSS V. REDMAN. This was an action to recover the sum of 51. 9s. Id., for rent of stables in North-place, Portman -market. The case was de void of general interest, but was another instance of the neglect so continually occurring in the Courts. The first case, Hunter v. Knight, was withdrawn, the parties not being prepared, and in the present, defendant had pleaded that he never was in debted, but was not in attendance. He had alleged that he had a set-off for repairs to nearly the amount, and a witness was present to prove a tender of the balance. The SECONDARY said it was a great pity defendant did not attend in time. If the defence, however, was a set-off, it ought to have been pleaded. It was evident he intended to defend the case, but the jury, as the case stood, could not do otherwise than give a verdict against him.— Verdict for the plaintiff. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAN.) Christian Benninghaus, a Pole, was charged with annoying Lord Dudley Stuart. The prisoner had been relieved by his Lordship with thirty shil!ings out Of his private purse on Fri day last, to take him to Manchester, where he had represented he could obtain employment. He did not, however, go there, but subsequently applied for further assistance, and last evening he went to the office of the Polish Literary Association, Sussex Chambers, No. 10, Duke-street, St. James's, in a very intoxi cated state, and insisted on an interview with his Lordship, which, being refused, he created a great disturbance in the street, and caused a crowd to assemble, continuing his dis orderly conduct until he was taken into custody by the police. His Lordship, however, declined to press the charge. The prisoner was in consequence fined %s. for being drunk. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY. The supply of English Wheat being very limited, the de mand for that article was somewhat active, at fully the im provement noticed in the quotations on Monday last. Free Foreign Wheat was held for advanced currencies, but bonded parcels were much neglected. Grinding Barley was quite as dear, but all other kinds Ilere a slow inquiry. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour ruled about stationary. ARRIVALS. Barley. ..___ 4r5. Wheat. 1,970 qrs. English Irish Foreign .• • • • • Oats.

The Reine Ante lie royal yacht left Brest on the 10th for Treport, where she will be stationed, in anticipation of the arrival of the King and Royal Family at Eu. BILLIARD AND BAGATELLE TADLES.—In the Bill which has passed the House of Lords (now before the House of Commons), it is provided that persons keeping billiard or bagatelle_ tables shall be licensed. UNIVERSITY or LONDON.—In consequence of the great increase in the number of candidate' for matriculation in the University of Londot this year, the chambers of the University at Somerset-house not being sufficiently spacious to accommodate the whole of them, the Principal of King's College, on being applied to, placed one of the lectare-rooms of that institution at the disposal of the Senate during the examination. PEDESTELLN FEAT.—MATCH roz 1001.—On Mon day evening a walking snatch for 1001. took riace at Acton Bolton between Mr. Hall, a surgeon, and Haynes, a celebrated walker. The distance was six miles, Mr. Hall giving his opponent three minutes' start. The walking of each party was exceedingly rapid and fair, and kept the horses of the umpires, &c. on the trot. When within a couple of hundred yards from home Mr. Hall eame up with his adversary, passed him, and won easily. Mr. Hall walked the six miles in fifty.two minutes, Haynes in fifty.seren. Mr. Hall is esteemed the fastest walker of the day. GREAT Foot RACE. —Yesterday the foot-rat .e be tween Charles Jenkinson (the London Stag), and Patterson (the Flying Tailor), came off near the Old Hat lan, at Ealing. The men were matched for !01. aside, to run over 120 yards of road. In bet ting Patterson was the favourite. After several attempts the start was effected, 'Menthe Stag bounded off in fine style, and took the lead, his opponent waiting upon him very closely, and, at eighty yards Patterson stcceeded in passing him. The stag then made for the winning mark, but the Flying Tailor had got victory certain, and, after a despetate effort from the Stag, the Flying Tailor ran in the winner amid►; the cheers of his numerous friends and backers.

Shortly before the ves sels reached the Nab light the breeze freshened, and the con test now between the Rodney, Superb, Queen, and Albion was most interesting. The Rodney was the first ship under weigh, and had passed the Superb and Albion, and had obtained the lead the Rodney being the first ship, Superb next, and the Albion fol lowing on the port quarter of the Rodney. It very soon became apparent that the Queen would take the lead of them all, for while the Rodney and Albion were under al sail with studdingsails a;ow and aloft, the Queen was sparing them lower and maintopmast studdingsails, and passing them hand over hand. The Queen was the first to round the Nab light, followed by the Rodney, Albion, Superb, and Vanguard, which had passed the Canopus and Tra falgar. During the time the vessels were making the Nab light, her Majesty was on the platform which connected the paddle-boxes, and appeared to take great interest in the scene before her, and in the trial of sailing between the line-of-battle ships. After passing the Nab light, her Majesty took the lead of the fleet. When off Dunmore, the signal was made for the fleet to form in two lines, the Admiral leading.
