THE FUNERAL OF LIEUT.-GENERAL SIB CHARLES NAPIER. LIFE AT THE DIGGINGS. Leasing Cumpans. Closing Prices this day. Business this day. We have been favoured with a letter from a a Cambridgeshire emigrant, dated Melbourne, May 28, from which we make the following extracts. He arrived in the heart of the Forest Creek dig gings, Mount Alexander district, on the last day of February This mournful ceremony will take place at Portsmouth on Thursday (to-morrow) about two o'clock, and will be a grand spectacle, everything short of full military parade being conceded to the memory of the gallant Napier, the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, the Master- General of the Ordnance, all the military in Portsmouth garrison (upwards of 3,000), and a brilliant cortege of friends following. A special meeting of the Portsmouth Town Council was convened yesterday, by requisition to the mayor of the borough, at which it was resolved, on the motion'of Al derman Childs, seconded by Councillor Emanuel, "That this council deeply deplores the loss England has sus tained by the demise of the late brave and gallant Lieut.- General Sir Charles James Napier ; and that, with a view to record the gratitude of this municipality, and their respect and admiration of the services rendered to his country by the hero of Scinde, resolved that the mayor, aldermen, councillors, and officers of the corpo ration, in their robes of office, do attend the funeral of the late gallant chief on Thursday next, the Bth inst. ; and that the General Purposes Committee make the re quisite arrangements, and prepare an address of condo lence to Lady Napier, expressive of the feelings of this council towards the memory of the deceased." The Loyal Fraternity of Freemasons of Portsmouth also meet this evening (Wednesday), to resolve on following to the grave the remains of their venerated and distin guished brother in the craft. With the exception of the firing of guns, &c., the funeral of Sir Charles Napier will be upon a magnificent scale, and will doubtless at tract thousands of strangers from far and near to wit ness it. The following orders relative to the local mili tary arrangements for the mournful ceremony were officially published yesterday : " PORTSMOUTH GARRISON OTWERS, SEPT, 6, 1853. "The Commandant desires to notify that the funeral of the late distinguished Lieut.-General Sir Charles James Napier, G.C.8., Colonel of her Majesty's 22d Regiment, will take place on Thursday next, the Bth instant, and be met by him outside the Landport-gate, at two p.m. on that day, on its arrival from his residence near Purbrook ; and those officers and men of this garrison who may be desirous of showing their respect to the memory of so dis tinguished an ornament of the profession, who served his country with the ardour of a patriot for more than fifty years, and whose deeds have always been associated with the glory of the British arms, are requested to assemble there for the occasion. Officers to appear in full dress, with black crape round the left arm. A return of the probable number of non-commissioned officers and men who will desire to attend to be sent to the Town-Major's office as soon as possible, in order that proper arrange ments may be made, as far as practicable. One sergeant, one corporal, and six privates from each corps in garrison, viz., Royal Artillery, 35th Regiment, 42d Regiment, Royal Marines, Royal Marine Artillery, 79th Regiment, and the Rifle Brigade, of tall and equal height, to act as bearers, will parade at the Landport Ravelin, at half-past one, on Thursday, and there receive directions. Guards to mount from their private parades on Thursday at nine a.m., both at Gosport and Portsmouth." L. &N.W iCaledon.. 103 - 105 51i - 54 Gt.Northn Gt.Westn. Yk. New. Berw YAN.3I(I Do Do S. Eastern Do 149 - 151 32 - 33 " On my return, for a short time, to Melbourne, after early three months' absence, I perceived evident marks of improvement • the autumnal rains had washed the houses cl ean , a few more houses had been built, and the foundations of others were being laid. Still, however, at present, it l a b ours under too many disadvantages to render it a desirable town for a residence. The greater part of the town is very low, almost on a level with the river ; and as no steps have yet been taken towards a general drainage, it is a perfect swamp in rainy weather, and abounds in fever and musquitoes. We are now get ting into our winter season, and if the weather does not become more unfavourable, I shall consider it an im provement upon the summer. The rains have not been so continuous as I expected, and in fine weather, al though the mornings are a little cold and frosty, we have clear sunny days, and the face of the country wears a cheerful countenance. The grass has become green, the trees (for they never shed their leaves) retain the garb of summer, and, what is a great comfort, there are no flies to drive one out of existence. Prices of grain and provisions still keep up, and I see no chance of their falling for some time to come—not until the gold fever has somewhat abated, and men settle down quietly to agricultural pursuits. Labour also is still very dear, notwithstanding the vast influx of emigrants every month. Masons, who seems to be at the top of the ladder, are earning 30s. a day, and the daily pay of a carpenter is 255. The clerk seems to be the worst-paid person in the colony ; he, whether in a Government office or in a merchant's counting-house, receives about 2001. a year, a remuneration which in general renders his situation worse than it was in the mother country. The price of land, too, in Melbourne and the immediate neighbour. hood, is still going up, and it is the general opinion that it is far from having reached its maximum. The day before I left for the diggings I saw land sold at St. Kilda, in small lots, at the rate of 2,0001. an acre ; and since then I have heard of land being sold, about a mile and a half from Melbourne, for 3,2001. an acre. What it fetches in the town I am almost afraid to say ; but I am within the mark when I tell you that 4501. per foot has been given for land having a street frontage of 60 feet, with a depth of 100 feet or so. This almost un heard-of price has put enormous profits into the pockets of the fortunate sellers, and many of them have realised large fortunes, and are rushing home to England to en joy their wealth there." 110 -111x(1 1 55 - 65 27 -28 141 -14 t 26 - 27 Norfolk Do Lu.&N.W & Stcktou & Darlingt. 96 98xd 3 - 3i 105 A -1064 63 - 65 E.

The Archbishop of Canterbury is now engaged visit ing his diocesse. During the past week his Grace has met the clergy at Sevenoaks, Tunbridge, and Canter bury. At the latter city, in addressing the Dean and Chapter, his Grace thus alluded to the secession of Lord Charles Thynee, one of the canons of the cathedral : " I am also reminded of another loss, not less lamented and much less reasonably to be expected—l am re minded of one with whom we took counsel, who has renounced our Reformed Church, and has given his adhesion to the corrupt doctrines and depraved worship of the church of Rome. But he is only one of many who have taken the same course, and taken it at a cost, too, which gives sufficient proof of their sin cerity ; still, this does not diminish our surprise at that course, which seems nothing lees than infatuation. This has led me to reflect on the causes that have produced results so strange, so little to be expected in persons of education, piety, and intelligence—in persons such as many of those who have recently become victims of the same delusion. The causes are manifest. They who have gone out from among us had not been content with the law and the testimony as declared to us by God himself. They had turned away from the pure and uncorrupted source, and derived their religious views from the traditions of men, till a human system became on their minds a divine revelation. Now, I confess myself to be one of those who dare not seek the way of salvation from any other authority than that of Him from whom salvation must flow. I know of nothing as able to make us wise unto salvation' except what is written by the inspiration of God. Whatever is not absolutely declared therein, and yet claims to be implicitely received, I look upon with suspicion. I weigh it in the balance of the sanctuary ; if it agree with the revealed word of God, and may be proved thereby in the way of just deduction, then, and then only, is it to be embraced. If this had been the view of him whose perversion we have especial reason to lament, he might, as far as it appears, have been minis tering still among us, for the very first reason he alleges implies a desire of something that the Scripture does not warrant nor require. He states his belief that it is necessary for those who have fallen into sin after baptism to confess their sins to some one possessed of power to receive confession and give absolution ; and then he complains that the sacrament of penance, of which confession is an important part, and the consequent absolution, is no doctrine of the Church of England. This is no single case. Many have been induced to seek that absolution from a Romish priest which they could not be satisfied our Reformed church had authority to pronounce. It would have been a wiser and a safer step to consult the Scriptures, and inquire what they revealed concerning the remis sion of sins. That is the great purpose of the Gospel, and there He who is offended by sin declares in what terms He will pardon. Acco7dingly, we may be sure to find there whatever is needful for procuring forgiveness of sin. They who could heal the sick and recall the dead to life might we'd be intrusted with the power of retaining or absolving transgressions. Other ex traordinary powers were granted to the Apostles. But those who succeeded the Apostles in the ministry of the church had no such power extended unto them. Why should it beg The link is entirely wanting which should connect the promise attending the commission of the Apostles with the commission given to future minis ters of the church. And, for evident reasons, extraordi nary powers were granted while needed, and no longer; but it is remarkable further that the Apostles themselves have left no example of the exercise of special absolution. Since, however, the apostolic epistles were commonly and chiefly addressed to the baptized, we should surely hear in them some mention of matters so important as confession and absolution, if they were indeed a part of the general discipline of the church. The difference on this point between the apostolic and Romish preacher must carry conviction to every unprejudiced inquirer. We have no authority from the Apostles for the system, the want of which has been com plained of as a defect in the church of England, and what the Apostles have not sanctioned, either by word or example, our Lord by implication, condemns, The person whose departure from us we regret acknowledges that he was led step by step till lie became convinced that union with Rome is necessary for the vitality of the church. With most of those who have left us, this has been the chief ground of their perversion ; and others, who, though withheld from taking the final step, are in that hesitat ing and doubtful state respecting continuance in the church, the foundation of which must keep them stran gers to that peace and comfort which are the privileges of the confirmed believer." His Grace then concluded with an exhortation to those present, showing that there was no scriptural ground for such apprehension, and expressing a hope that they would still repose on the bosom of the church to which they happily belonged. ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. An accident of a character fearful to contemplate though providentially unattented with loss of life, oc curred on Monday afternoon at the Euxton junction o the London and North-Western and Lancashire and Yorkshire Railways, situated about six miles from Pres ton. The circumstances connected with the casualty are as follow : About a quarter of a mile on the Preston side of the Euxton station there is a side line of rails, belonging to the London and North-Western Company. Yesterday, four passenger carriages, two first-class and two second class, had been turned upon this aiding, which commu nicates with the down line of rails by a pair of points. The " Scotch express " (from London to Edinburgh and Glas gow), due in Preston at 2.35, approached Euxton at the rate of between 35 and 40 miles an hour— the train consisting of the first-class carriages, one se cond-class, and a break-van. The engine-driver (John Baxter) states that the pointsman lowered the signal to intimate that all was right, and the train proceeded on its rapid course past the station. Immediately after wards h sudden jerk apprised the driver that the train was entering the points leading to the siding, instead of continuing on the main line. He instantly shut off the steam, and blew the whistle for the guards to apply their breaks, and then leaped off the engine, followed by the fireman, William Hardstaff. In another moment the express came in contact with the carriages on the siding and a fearful crash took place. The front part of the engine was demolished, but the carriages of the express sustained little or no injury, the passengers being found almost unscathed, although of course in a state of great consternation. The empty carriages on the siding were shivered to atoms, two wheels belonging to one of them being subsequently discovered in the smoke-box of the engine. Baxter, the driver of the express, was found lying by the side of the line, covered with blood and dirt, and in a state of insensibility, having several severe cuts about his head and back. The fireman escaped with comparatively little injury. Cobb, the guard, states that he perceived the danger at the moment the engine driver blew his whistle, and that having put on his break, he threw himself on the floor of the van, to which he attributes his safety. The breaks are described as being of a very powerful kind. The distance between the points and the empty carriages on the siding is esti mated at 150 to 200 yards. A Lancashire and Yorkshire train came up soon after the accident, and took the express passengers forward to Preston. Baxter was conveyed to the Station Inn. The Scotch express, we believe, was the first train to pass the Euxton junction after the train conveying her Majesty and suite to the north, and which passed through Preston station at half-past twelve. It would thus ap pear that the empty carriages had been turned upon the siding and the points left open, shortly after the Queen went by. Had it been done a little sooner the Royal train must have suffered the alarming collision instead of the express. COLLISION ON TJIR CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY. On Monday night an accident happened to the 2.45 up-train from Holyhead, when just in sight of the Chester station. There is at that point of the line a shunting lying to the north of the rails, which is reached by cross rails from both lines of the road, and it hap pened that as the train before specified was approaching Chester, it ran into a short luggage train, which was at that instant being removed from the down line to the shunting, completely capsizing it. The confusion at the moment among the passengers, chiefly excursionists on their return from the Dublin Exhibition, defies descrip tion. Happily, however, there was no harm do ne to life or limb, all the dam age b e i ng oon fi ne d to the upset vans, and the fittings of th e foremost car riages of the passenger train. This go o d f ortune i s , h o wever, hardly to be attributed to the car e and cau ti on of the railway officials at Chester, wh o , despite the publio outcry against the practice of sendi ng coal and luggage t ruc k s across the lines when pa ssenger tra i ns are m omentarily expected, persevere in doin g so. It is rather to be ac counted for by the slacken e d pace o f th e train approach ing the station, and the light ness o f the obstruction. "BARNACLES." - A correspondent of the Times says among the " arrivals" of visitors to our coast during the past week is a remarkable collection of barnacles. A Spanish brig directed the attention of one of the Folke stone fishing boats to a dark object on the water, which they supposed to be a monster of the deep, but, on nearer inspection, they found it to be a piece oftimber, 40feet long, entirely covered and floated by the barnacle fish. Many thousands of these curious zoophytes have here made them selves a home on the fir tree. The sailors secured their prize and brought it into Folkestone Harbour, where it is now to be seen. Concerning barnacles many curious opinions have been held, and they still prevail on the coasts of the Mediterranean. It was formerly believed that they turned into geese ; and the Roman Catholics were allowed to eat "barnacle geese," as they were called on fish days, fro:n their being supposed to partake more of the nature of fish than fowl. To such an ex tent was this belief carried, that Sir Robert Moray, in a notice which he sent to the Royal Society on this sub ject, says :—" In every shell that I opened I found a perfect fowl." Discarding this absurdity, v. e find them to belong to the order cirrhipoda peduncnata, and to consist of a long fleshy tube with a shell at the end of it. The tube is from 8 to 12 inches long, and the shell, which consists of four distinct pieces, contains the vital members of the animal. They are provided with feelers, with which they obtain food and fresh air. They have no legs, nor any power of motion, though during the earlier per iods of their lives they have both legs eyeye and swim about freely, but as t h ey advance years they lose the power of l ocomo ti on, and in and, attaching themselves to some object, become settled for the remainder of their lives, and in this state they have often been mistaken for plants. A. part of the collection at Folkestone would form a fitting addition to the beautiful specimens of the sea anemone shown in the Vivarium at the Zoological Gardens in the Regent's Park. They are as remarkable for their size as their number. Seldom, indeed, does such an opportunity occur in these parts for studying the character of these animals, and doubtless many naturalists will avail themselves of it. POLLING AT ELECTIONS.-It is enacted by a statute of the late session, that in future no polls shall be taken at inns, hotels, public-houses, &c., or in any booth or place communicating with such, unless by the consent of all the candidates, expressed in writing. BOROUGH ELECTIONS.--- -By an act lately passed, elec tions in future for boroughs, cities, &c., are to take place within six days after the receipt of the writ or pre cept, giving threo clear days' notice at least of the day of election, exclusive of the day of proclamation and the day of election. REGISTRATION OF ELECTORS.—At the last registration of electors for England and Wales, thenumber registered was 421,413, of w hi c h 409,958 were on th e li sts for Eng land, and 11,455 for Wales. There were in England and Wales 55,879 f r ee men , or mem b ers o f th e old corpora tions ; 331,534 were regist ere d as 101. householders, and 10,844 in both capacities. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN ALDERSGATE• STREET. This morning, about half-past 7 o'clock, a most terrific fire broke out on the premises`N o . 23 a n d 24, Aldersgate street, in the occupation of . the Messrs. Lorkin, whole sale druggists. The fire was first discovered in the back warehouse, which runs to a very considerable depth towards Falcon-square, and messengers were imme diately dispatched for engines, which promptly arrived ; but, owing to the combustible nature of the stock, the flames had made considerable progress before they were got into full work. There being an abundant supply of water, and a strong body of the Moor-lane, Smithfield, and Bow-lane police on the spot, nine of the most power ful brigade engines were soon playi n g on the burning mass, throwing an immense volume of water on the flames. By very great exertions the fire was confined to the warehouse, and ultimately subdued, after a tre mendous quantity of valuable property had been de stroyed. No fewer than fifteen engines were present at one time, and great praise is due to the firemen and po lice for their exertions. The amount of damage has not yet been ascertained, but it must be very considerable. The origin of the fire is not known. The buildings and contents are insured. WRECK OF THE GLENDOWER STEpISHIP.—The en dower, Captain W. J. Beckett, Liverpool and Bristol steam-ship, was wrecked in the course of Sunday after noon, a few miles to the southward of Milford. Pro videntially the whole of the passengers and crew were saved. The Glendower left the Mersey on Saturday morning for Bristol, having to call at Milford on her way. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon she ran on to the Crow Rock, a formidable reef situate between five and six miles to the southward of that place. It was quickly ascertained that her hull had sustained some serious injury by striking on the rock, a n d th at she was rapidly filling with water. .The neces sary precautions were taken for the preservation of lif e , an d t h e crew exerted themselves very, creditably in endeavouring to get the ill-fated s teamer into shallo w water b efore she foundered. They contrived to keep h er a fl oat, although a very difficult and perilous task, until she drifted a short distance on to the sand at the point known as Freshwater West, where she sunk in three fathoms. The passengers and crew had previously taken to the boats, and were safely landed, ---Th ine e t w il i e t v h . a J n oh ar n ro A w , now a missionary of ing to Amah Con yratvo cross the river Urn horseback.

The supply of wheat on offer in to-day's market was chiefly the refuse of Monday, very few parcels being re ceived fresh up. For all kinds, owing to the large arrivals from abroad, the demand ruled heavy, and to effect sales a decline of fully is per quarter must have been sub mitted to. The imports of foreign wheat have amounted to 51,320 quarters. Good heavy parcels were held somewhat firmly, at full quotations. In all other kinds very little was doing, at barely late figures. In floating c argoes next to nothing was doing. Scarcely any English barley was brought forward, but the show of foreign was tolerably good. The trade ruled steady, at previous rates. Malt moved off freely, at full currencies. The imports of Archangel oats having been immense— upwards of 90,000 quarters—the oat trade was dull, at 6d to is per quarter less money. Beans, peas, and flour were steady, at Monday's cur rency. English .. Irish Foreign .. Wheat. 3,240 ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. 1 Barley.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A LICENSED VICTUALLER. Yesterday Mr. W. Carter, the coroner for East Sur rey, held a long inquiry, at the White Hart Tavern, Green-street, Blackfriars-road, on the body of Mr. Christopher Feetum, aged 32, the proprietor of the above establishment, whose death occurred under the following melancholy circumstances : Mrs. Isabella Feetum said that the deceased was her husband. On the previous Tuesday she had been out, and returned home rather fatigued, when the deceased said that he would go out and take a walk. Witness soon afterwards went to the front door, and saw her husband speaking to two men, whose names she be lieved to be Smith and Harwood. She then walked into her room again, when she heard a quarrel outside of the bar counter. One of the persons so quarrelling was a Mr. Christmas. Another was a man whom she knew only by sight. There was likewise a third per son. who was a perfect stranger to her. These parties, whilst she was sitting in the bar-parlour, commenced fighting, when she informed the deceased, who had re turned to the parlour, and desired him to go, to them. The parties then went to the door, her husband pushing them out. Two minutes after that her husband was brought into the house. He appeared very faint, his clothes and face were covered with blood, and she no ticed an extensive wound on the side of the head. Me dical assistance was procured, but deceased lived only till half-past t we l v e o'clock on Saturday morning. When the surgeon came he dressed the wound in his head. He was then put to bed, which he never afterward s left, unless when h e was i n a state of mental derangement. By the Coroner—The deceased was in the habit of taking a glass of liquor now and then, but she thought not too freely. He had lately been in a very nervous state. Mr. W. Pain, a cabinet-maker, of 25, Church-street, Blackfriars-road, said that he did not know the deceased, and never saw him until Tuesday night last, when, at nearly twelve o'clock, he (wit ness ) was standing onside of the house, and then heard a loud quarrelling inside, at the front of the bar. He went just inside of the door, when two men whom he did not know commenced fighting. After the lapse of one or two minutes the landlord came from behind the bar, took hold of the men as they were fighting, and tried to force them out of the door, but during the struggling the men and the deceased fell. They got up again. The deceased kept hold of them and tried again to force them towards the door. The whole three then went out together, the de ceased holding them from behind. As one of the men had hold of the other's hair, when they got on the pave ment there was another struggle, and the three persons fell across the kerb and the gutter. They were down for two or three minutes. It being dark, he was unable for some time to see which was the landlord, but at last he was lifted up and assisted into his house. He saw that the deceased was under the other two men before he was picked up. He saw a wound at the back of the head, and the hair was matted with blood. The blood also ran from the wound over witness's shirt. By the Coroner—He saw no act of itself done to the deceased. They all three fell together. There was a third person present who was urging them on to fight. He had not seen the parties since. The two men who were fighting were so intoxicated as to be scarcely able to stand. By a Juror—He heard the sound of one of their heads come in contact with the kerb, which is raised some two or three inches. By the Coroner—The deceased, when picked up, was quite senseless. For ten minutes or a quarter of an hour after deceased was brought in the two men were on the ground fighting. They went back to the house, and as they entered witness left. Mr. Edward Doubleday, surgeon, of 249, Blackfriars road, said that he first saw the deceased on Wednesday evening last. Mr. Bianchi, who was acting for him in his absence, had previously attended upon him. He was sensible when witness saw him. He had received an in cised, deep scalp wound, extending through the muscles to about an inch or an inch and a half in length. He was much exhausted, and nearly pulseless, which he accounted for from the great loss of blood, it being estimated that he lost three quarts. There was like wise great irritability of the nervous system, which he also attributed to the loss of blood and his gene ral habits of living. The irritability continued, and ended in deliriu m tremens. Notwithstanding his endeavours, by opiates and stimulants, he was unable to tranquillise the brain, and he died at half-past twelve o'clock on Saturday morning. He attributed death to the great loss of blood consequent on the wound. By the Coroner.—The wound might have been caused by a sharp instrument, or from a fall upon the sharp edge of a stone. The pot-boy having given similar evidence as the witness Pain, Charles Christmas; after being cautioned by the coro ner that anything he might say would be taken down and might be used against him, said that on the night in question he was in front of the bar in a state of in toxication, when some strange man, after abusing him, offered to wrestle with him for 51., and afterwards for nothing. He then took his coat off and flew at him. He did not know anything more, but the next morn ing he found himself at home in bed. The learned Coroner having summed up in his usual clear and impartial manner, the room was cleared of strangers, and the jury having consulted, they returned a verdict of "Accidental death." The Coroner, in addressing Christmas and the other man, said, that although the jury had returned a verdict which did not fix them with having caused the deceased's death, they ought both to feel, that although not legally guilty, yet they were morally guilty of the deceased's death, He hoped the present melancholy case would prove a lesson to them as to how they regulated their conduct in future. THE SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS.—This celebrated clipper-ship, which was to have left the Mersey yester day for Australia, has been delayed owing to the diffi culty experienced i n getting her cargo cleared through the Custom-house. She carries out the largest and most valuable cargo of merchandise ever shipped in one bottom from any port in the world. The measurement tonnage of her cargo is about 3,000 tons, giving her a freight list of nearly 20,0001., while the estimated value of her cargo falls little short of 300,0001. In addition to her immense cargo she has 25 first and 40 second cabin presengers. She would sail to-day (Wednesday) at noon. THE CLIPPER SHIP GUIDING STAR.—LIVERPOOL, SEPT. s.—This noble vessel which arrived at this port from St. John's, New Brunswick, a few days ago, has been chartered by the owners of one of the Liverpool and Australian line of packets, for the sum of 12,0001., an unprecedented amount, even for the best kind of ships trading to the golden regions. The Guiding Star, seen from a distance, presents the appearance of a large yacht with her tall tapering spars, and square yards ; and it is only by being on board and viewing her pro portions that we can be satisfied that she is upwards of 2,000 tons burden, carpenters' measurement. She has very sharp entrance, which is carried well aft, though her extreme length gives her a long floor, and she again gracefully sharpens towards the stern. Her 'tween decks are laid with 3-inch planks ; and as the ventilators admit a good light, her great length and fine pro portions are seen to advantage, as also her accomoda tions for passengers, the height between the decks being 71 feet, and her breadth affording ample space. The chief and fore cabins are placed on the main deck, the former being as a poop, while the latter is joined as a deck - house. The chief cabin is fitted with berths for about 20 passengers, baths, and every requisite to ensure comfort and convenience ; while the saloon is finished with rich pannelling of satin-wood and mahogany, with handsome gilt cornices ; and the tapestry, carpets, sofas, settees, and lounges are on an elegant and artistic scale. The fore-cabin is also fitted with a number of handsome berths, and a staircase leads from it to the poop deck through a smoking-room. The poop affords a promenade of BOdefeeekt.,hwouhsiechfoisrward, hi extended w b e y h p is lat a f p o p rm ro s p t ri o at t e h d e t t o op th o e f the c o o r m for themts of and the crew, the passengers. and fit t ed connection apparatus with hs f this part of the vessel t here is room for s p acious hospitals. A roomy top-gallant forecastle com pletes her deck fittings, and in t s h t i e s ad is of in h te eng n i dedas an ice-house, stock - house, & con verted, as is usually the case, into berths for the crew. Her dimensions are—length on deck, 251 feet ; beam, 43 feet ; depth, 224 felt. The whole of her fittings are on the best scale ; and, whether as regards her superior model or faithful build, she reflects the greatest credit upon her builders, Messrs. W. and R. Wright, of St. John's, to whom we are indebted for some of the fastest sailing vessels trading between this country and the gold regions. She has been chartered by Messrs. Miller and Thompson, of Liverpool, in connection with their Golden Line of Astralian packets. GREAT INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION FOR SCOTLAND. The following circular, addressed to the parties who have more directly interested themselves in this under taking, is now published for general information: "The Interim Acting Committee of Promoters of a great In dustrial Exhibition for Scotland having received com munications from nearly the whole of the burghs, incor porated bodies, and numerous influential parties throughout the country, intimating their cordial ap proval of the proposed undertaking ; and considering that several important towns have expressed an opinion that, under existing circumstances, next year would not be the most advantageous season for carrying out the proposal. Resolved, That while it is expedient to sus pend the immediate arrangements for a Scottish Exhibi tion in 1854, it is highly avisable that full effect should be given to the unanimously expressed feeling of the community in support of the object, whenever circum stances are most favourable for its successful accomplish ment, and that, accordingly, the committee will continue to discharge the duty of communicating with such pub lic bodies and others as are desirous of co-operating in the undertaking, who are most respectfully requested also to continue their exertions within their respective districts, in aid of a proposal so pre-eminently fitted to extend and advance the industrial arts, and to promote the best interests of the country." THE QUEEN AND THE SHAMROCK.—The Daily Ex- press says :—" It might not be amiss to mention, as an interesting fact connected with her Majesty's visit, that one of the Royal servants brought with him to the train a sod of shamrock which had been dug up in the grounds attached to the Viceregal Lodge. A porcelain pot re ceived the plant, which, as it had been obtained at the special request of her Majesty, is probably destined to be transplanted to some of the Royal grounds, and culti vated as a memento of a visit which will be long memo rable in Ireland."

Peggy kept twisting about, and for some time would not go near the post. After one false start—Battery, The Friar, Placid, and Chaff wax coming away, and the last two passing the Stand before they could be pulled up—they drew together again. Peggy, however, still unruly, caused further delay. At length the flags were lowered, and off they went in a compact form. On arriving at the Stand, Lady Evelyn, Merry Bird, Doubt, The Friar, and Battery composed the front division ; but on entering the Lammas Land, Lady Evelyn dropped back, and Battery, Little Fawn, and Placid, with Doubt, The Friar, and Jacqueline well laid up, bore their colours well together in the van.

Young England made the running, followed by Romeo, Nutpecker, Tit terstone, Ariosto, Lady Evelyn, and Bran mare in the order named. After passing the house at the top of the Lammas-land, Nutpecker took second place, and forcing the pace, kept alongside Young England, until they made the turn into the straight, when he began to die off. Ariosto and Lady Evelyn now drew forward. At the half distance they closed with Young England, and a good race home ended in favour of Ariosto by three quarters of a length ; Titterstone was fourth, Nutpecker fifth, Romeo sixth, each at a distinct interval from the other. Bran mare pulled up and walked in.

Yesterday the last Grand Dahlia Exhibition and Miscellaneous Flower Show took place at this popular place of amusement. The display of dahlias was un usually fine, and surpassed any exhibitions of the same kind which we have yet seen here. There was also a rich display of ripe fruit, verbenas, cut flowers, holly hocks, and a good sprinkling of stove and green-house plants. - In class the first, of private growers not cultivating for sale, Messrs. Battie, Robinson, Edwards, and Dyson carried off the principal prizes for dahlias ; and Messrs. Laurence and Young for fruit. In class the second, of nurserymen and others, Messrs. Rollenson and Son, Paul and Son, and I. and J. Fraser had it all their own way. Paul and Son's collection of roses excited the greatest amount of admiration, and were really a fine exhibition of flowers. In this second class, also, Mr. Turn er had some mag nificent dahlias, which bore away all the prizes allotted to that kind of flowers. Among the cut flowers there were displayed some rare and costly bouquets, and several rich floral devices, which were much admired. Altogether the show was as creditable as it seemed to be popular, and that is saying a great deal, for the gar dens were completly thronged throughout the day. The usual promenade concert and pyrotechnic dis play, in the course of which latter Chusan was stormed with redoubled vigour, concluded the evening's enter tainments. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT, Sept. 6.
