PARTIAL OPENING OF 71111 EDINBURGH AND NORTHERN RAILWAY. The ceremony of opening the Edinburgh and Northern Railway to within a ii:, , w miles of both its termini, at Dundee and Perth, nook place on Frid a y . This line connects Edinburgh ‘•A'ith Du n d ee on th e th one hand, and w i t h P erth on • e . other, by a short route through a p opu l ous and ti u ••i:.ing count r y. Th e company havi ng purc h ased the aiGl the a E nton and . Burntis land ferry, and amalgamated vv'i dill b e bookedchnburgh and Granton company, p assengers from Edinburgh; but th e souiti he terminus t of a t n h d m e line, properly speaki ng , i s at. Burntisland. From Burntisland the line proceeds. by Kin g h orn, K caldy, Dysart, and M ar ki nc h, aboutr t to Kettl e ; u a mile beyond which pl ace it di v i t l es, one branch going by Newburgh to Perth, an d ti ie other by Cupar Dundee. The distance by tht3 line from Burntisland to Ferry-Port-on-Craig (the i erry across the Tay to Dundee) is about thirty-sem n miles, and to Perth about the same. In both cask 's the distance is less, or at least not more, than by the turnpike road—a result which has been attained twithout works of any think like a stupendous character, and without resort ing to inclines of more than ordinary steepness and frequency. The portion of the line opened extends to Cupar on the Dundee branch, and to Lindores (parish of Abdie) on the Perth, leaving about eleven miles of the Dundee route and thirteen of the Perth to be performed in the meantime by coaches. The Dundee line is expected to be completed in Decem ber; the Perth line a month or two later. The directors had invited to the ceremony a large party of friends, including the magistrates of Edin burgh and the other towns corinected with the line. It was arranged that trains should start at twelve o'clock for Cupar from Burntisland, to which place, before the appointed hour, a very large company had been brought by the boats from Edinburgh and trains from Cupar and Lindores. At about twenty minutes past twelve, the first train, consisting of twenty car riages, moved off; and another train, of about the same dimensions, followed at a short interval. From Burntisland to Inveriel, near Kirkcaldy, the line keeps the sea-shore, affording the passengers a mag nificent view of the Firth and the Lothians. From Burntisland to Kinghorn there is a rise of 1 in 200. Immediately to the west of the latter place occurs the heaviest work on the line—a tunnel 240 yards long, cut through hard whinstone. At Kinghorn, the trains stopped to take in water, none being procurable at the Burnt island terminus—a deficency likely to be felt as an inconvenience. Almost every place throughout this populous district commanding a view of the line was decorated with flags, mid occupied by groups of people, who saluted the trains as they passed with cheers. The trains (the engines of the first of which was driven by Mr. Grainger, the engi neer of ;the line), moved at a slow pace, partly, we presume, from the great weight, and partly from motives of prudence connected with the multitudes of spectators whom it was impossible in every case to keep at a safe distance. From this cause the first train took nearly twenty-five minutes to reach Kirkcaldy, and nearly an hour more to reach Cupar; but of course this furnishes no criterion for judging of the rate of travelling on the line under ordinary circum stances. At Thornton or Orr Water, the Dunfermline branch joins the main line. This line strikes westward up the Valley of the Orr, by Auchterderran to the po- pulous coal district of Lochgelly, and thence by Cross gates to Dunfermline. It is expected to be opened. the length of Lochgelly in December ; but the portion_ between that place and Dunfermline will not be finished for six or seven months. At New Inn, about two miles from Markinch, we reach the summit level of the line, which is 300 feet above the level of the sea—that is, 70 feet lower than the summit level of the North British at Grant's house. The summit level is reached by a rise from Coalton of Balgonie of 1 in 110 ; but for a short dis tance immediately to the north of the summit there is a gradient of 1 in 95, which is the steepest on the line. It is at this portion of the line also that the deepest cutting occurs, several hundred yards being cut at one place through rock, and further on tkrough loose sand, to the depth of 45 or 50 feet. At a place called Loch Muir, close to the New Inn station, con siderable difficulties were encountered from the swampy nature of the ground, and the line crosses the morass on piles driven forty feet below the surface. From the summit the line proceeds northward, at a decline of 1 in 100, to Kettle. In traversing this portion of the line a new country opens up. Suddenly the passenger comes in view of nearly the whole Vale of Eden or Howe of Fife, stretching from St. Andrew's Bay to the borders of Kinross-shire, a length of 26 miles, and in shape a straight unbroken level, lying between two ranges of hills, and thickly studded with farmhouses and villages, and with " seats" em bosomed in wood. Among the villages sighted at ----- this point are Falkland, with its old royal - palace ; Auchtermuchty, Strathmiglo, Fruchie, Dunshelt, Springfield, Letham, Kettle, Pitlessie, in all of which the sound of the shuttle never fails. Almost closing up the vista to the east are the spires of Cupar, the county town. No railway in Scotland presents to the passenger so fine a prospect as is here enjoyed during half an hour's travelling above and through this far-spreading and smiling strath. At a place called Ladybank, about a mile beyond the Kettle station, the line divides. The Perth line proceeds across the Howe to Collessie, rising one in 400, and thence, crossing the hills by a narrow pa ss , to Woodmill, by a rise of one in 120. It then pro ceeds at a level along the banks of the beautiful Loch of Lindores to Abdie (about two miles from New burgh), where the finished portion of the works ter minates. The Dundee line proceeds on a level to Springfield, and on a fall of one in 100 for the re maining two miles to Cupar. At Cupar, the principal portions of the ceremony took place. The whole population of the town and neighbourhood " turned out" in holiday attire, and we l co med the trains with re p ea t e d rounds of c heering. But a welcome had been prepared more su c bs u ta s nt A s than the breath of p opu l ar applause. spacious . pa vilion had been prepared by the directors, w h ich was waiting a sumptuous collation, with an unlimited allowance of champagne. At four th e com p an y broke up, re t urn i ng southwards in two trains, one calling at all the stations, and the other proceeding without stoppage to Burntisland. From the begin ning to end not the slightest accident marred the festivities of the day.--Scotsnian. IRISH MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.— The works of the Midland Great Western Railway are prog ressing m ost satisfactorily in this neighbourhood. The arch over the Ballinderry road was closed in on Monday last, and in a few days the foundation will be laid for that to be erected at the rear of the gaol. For strength and durability of work, and neat ness o f execution, the masonry of this portion of the line connot be exceeded.— Westmeath Guardian. SCOTCH CHURCH, RIVER-TERRACE.—SOMe of the congregation of this church having felt that the election of a successor to their late lamented minister, the Rev. Josias Wilson, was not carried with an impartial spirit or fairness, determined on separating themselves from the church, of which many of them have been its staunch supporters and members since its establishment; and, having applied to the Presbytery to be acknowledged a new and distinct congregation, met last Sunday for the first time in Baker's Sale Rooms, High -street, Islington, which have been fitted up in a commodious and com fortable manner. The rooms were filled by a numerous and respectable audience. The Rev. Mr. Alexander, of Duntocher, near Glasgow, preached an excellent and im. pressive sermon. The gentlemen who have undertaken to be the representatives of this yet small dock are such as will discharge their duties creditably, as the zeal and perseverance in their labours will testify. Mr. Alexander will be succeeded by another eminent clergyman from Scotland. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —BAD LEGS AND WOUNDS op ALL KINDS CUBED BY HOLLOWACS OINTMENT AND PILLS.—If these valuable medicines be used together, according to the directions given with them, there is no case, however obstinate, bad, or long standing, b u t may be shortly cured by their surprising efficacy. Thousands of persons, who had teen patients of large hospitals, and under the care of the greatest surgeons of the day, with out deriving the least benefit, as a last resource, use Holloway's Ointment and Plll5, which always cure them, and frequently in as little time as a cut finger would require when treated in the usual way.—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.

This breach of the law is acquiesced in by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im.. possitility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge nious and effective Ran)°MAU machine has been invented. This invention consists of tour brushes forming a square head, which by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby creating an even pressure on all Jour sides of a chimney. The rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angla and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated by the fact, that it is exclusively used in the Government and nimerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry in continuing their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors.

The settling on the Doncaster events took place yes terday afternoon, and passed off quietly ; the large account to which we alluded last week, remains unsettled, and as no communication has been received by the creditors, it is looked upon as a desperate case. Another party is also inquired after, and with several persons who were present money seemed very scarce; so that, on the whole. we may repeat the remark made at Don caster, that the settling has been the reverse of satisfac tory. In the course of the afternoon several animals were backed for the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire, and for the former, Wood Pigeon, Cawroush, and Ulysses, were at one time in great request; their friends, however, became lukewarm towards the close, and the final quota tions showed a marked decline on the odds taken early in the day.

THE PROTESTANT CHARITABLE ASSOCIATION. — On Sunday the 179th anniversary of this charity was celebrated at the Protestant Dissenting Church, Curtain road, Shorediteh. The association was originally founded in the reign of Charles 11. for the relief of the Puritans and Primitive Methodists, who at that period were subject to persecutions. It was stated, that in one year alone, 1668, 500 preachers were imprisoned, and 2,000,0001. of property confiscated. The funds of the charity are now used for the relief of the poor and infirm. A CHILD SAVED FROM DROWNING BY A DOG. — On Sunday morning, a child of about five years of age, during the absence of a servant to whose care it was intrusted, fell into the canal from the parapet of the City-road-bridge. The accident bad scarcely been dis covered before a large dog, of the Newfoundland breed, leaped into the stream, and with great exertion saved the life of the child, by keeping its head above water until assistance was rendered from the shore. DEPRECIATION OF RAILWAY PROPERTY. We have taken fifty of the principal railway lines, and find that a most carefully-calculated comparison yields the subjoined facts: — Value of fifty lines of railroad, at the X s. d. , quoted prices of their stock, on the 2d of January, 1847 ... 59 557 000 Total calls on the above since January... 13 529 000 £73 086 000 Value of the same stock, including the above calls, computed at the share list prices of Saturday, Sept. 11, 1847 ... 57 834 000 Depreciation So that the aggregate railway stock in these fifty lines, which was worth in January last upwards of fitty-nine millions sterling, is now worth only fifty-seven millions, although thirteen millions and a half of money has been added by new calls during the present year to their paid-up capital.—Manchester Times. THE PLAYERS; OR THE STAGE OF LlFE.—This new work, by Mr. Serle, must come like a perfect god send to the circulating libraries, and to the ennuied frequenters of watering-places, for it, is full of life and spirit, and gives us, from the hand of one " as 'twere to the manner born," an admirable series of pictures of stage life. " This work (observes the Britannia) is the best written romance of modern life we have met with for a long time, and does more to enhance the reputation of Mr. Serie as a man of talent, than any of his previous productions. The plot and incidents of the tale are very dramatic, and the characters well sustained throughout. The work is altogether one of great merit." TELTorm, TAILor.s.—A hundred and sixteen tai lors have been members of the Temperance Provident Institution, some of them nearly seven years, and not a ingle death has occurred, RETURN OF THE COURT FROM SCOTLAND. The Queen, the Prince of Wal the Princess Royal, and suite, including the Duchess of Norfolk and the Marchioness of Douro, and Viscount Pal merston, &c., left Ardverikie Lodge, Loch Laggan, at half-past two, and proceeded to Fort William, where, as on the royal debarkation, last month, triumphal arches thrown across the streets, and other demonstrations of loyalty, met the royal party in its progress to the landing-place, which was also conveniently fitted and tastefully decorated, in honour of her Majesty's embarkation, which took place in the royal bare.e, and when steered by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, the Queen and suite proceeded, under a royal salute, to the Victoria and Albert steam yacht, where her Majesty joined his Royal Highness Prince Albert, who hal arrived in the Fairy tender, a few minutes previously from Inverness, through the Caledonian Canal, the Prince, as we stated yes terday having dined and sl e pt at Mr. Baillie's, of Dochfour, on Thursday evening. His Royal Highness, on visiting Inverness, was met by a grand procession of the civic authorities and trades, by which the Prince was conducted to the Town-hall. About 280 clansmen of Mackintosh of Mackintosh, headed by th e c hi e f himself, attended by two captains and his he nc h me n, and pipers arrayed in the Highland costu me , f or med the picturesque portion of the cortege. About 50,000 persons hailed with loud acclamations the arrival of his Royal High ness, and royal salutes were fired and addresses pre sented, to all of which the Prince bowed his acknow ledgment and returned his best thanks. The Prince visited the Castle of Inverness, and admired the de lightful, extensive, and varied scenery from the Castle hill previously to returning in Mr. Baillie's carriage to Dochfour House. On the Prince's return to Dochfour House a de putation from the heritors, commissioners of supply, and justices of the peace of the county, waited on his Royal Highness, by appointment, to present an address from the gentlemen of the county. The de putation was headed by the Earl of Seafield, the lord lieutenant of the county, Lord Lovat, and Mr. Duncan Grant, of Bught, the convener of the county. The presentation of the address, to which the Prince made a suitable reply, did not occupy many minutes. The leading members of the deputation had the honour of dining with his Royal Highness. The royal squadron remained at Fort William on Friday night, and at five A.M. on Saturday the Vic toria and Albert, the Fairy, Garland, and Scourge, proceeded to Crinan, where the royal party left the yacht, and, in the canal barge, att en d e d by M r . Burns, proceeded to Lochgilphead. Here the Black Eagle, Admiralty steam yacht, Master Commander Cook, and the Undine steam yacht, Master Commander Allen, were in waiting, and the former having re ceived her Majesty, the Prince, Royal Family, and suite, both steam yachts proceeded at a rapid pace to the general rendezvous at Campbeltown, where it is expected the royal squadron remained during the Sunday. PRINCE ALBERT'S VISIT TO INVERNESS. (From the Inverness Journal.) His Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by the Marquis of Abercorn and Mr. Anson, drove from Ardverikie, by Spean, to (airlochy Locks, where they shipped on board the Fairy, at ten o'clock on Thursday morning. The forenoon was showery, with intervals of fair weather. The scenery on Loch Lochy, Loch Oich, and Loch Ness, was seen to a disadvantage. Between two and three o'clock the gallant little craft was seen steaming down Loch Ness, and about half past three she stopped her engine in the little loch opposite to the modern mansion of Dochfour. It is the property of Evan Baillie, Esq., and is beautifully situated on the margin of a loch at the east end of Loch Ness proper, from which it is separated by a very narrow strait or cut, which forms a part of the Caledonian Canal. The house is newly finished, and is one of the handsomest in Scotland of the Italian style. A jetty was run out into the loch till a depth of seventeen feet of water was obtained, so that when the Fairy arrived the debarkation was effected in a few seconds. His Royal Highness was received by Mr. Baillie of Dochfour, Lord Grosvenor, and Mr. Popham. When the Fairy hove in sight, and at the landing, cannons were fired. Two of Mr. Baillie's carriages were in waiting at the loch side, and on the Prince and his suite taking their seats, drove off to pay the intended visit to Inverness. The night of Wednesday, which ended in boisterous wind and heavy pattering rain, ushered in a morn ing of no animating portent. The sky lowered, the wind blew chilly ; at nine o'clock there was some thing more than a drizzle, but at ten it rained down right. The loyalty of our townsmen, however, suffered no damp, for the preparation to receive his Royal Highness went on with unabated vigour. A t an early hour in the morning flags were displayed in various parts of the town. At eleven o'clock the Mackintosh marched about 250 of his clan through the town to post them on the road to Doch four, conveniently for receiving the Prince. These Highlanders presented a very imposing and fine ap pearance, and were loudly cheered as they passed along the streets. About two o'clock the field pieces brought from the Fort were drawn to the Castle. hill, and the town, under the auspices of a blink of sun shine, was assuming a busy and very gay appearance. A flag by this time was waving over the battlements of the castle, and two displayed from the new Free Church school a very fine effect. A procession was then formed to meet his Royal Higbness. The Town Council and the party that joined it now opened up so as to receive the Prince as soon as he arrived, and stood in this position for about an hour in anxious expectation. The. Mackintosh, and his brother, 2Eneas Mackintosh, Esq., of Daviot, and Colonel Mackintosh, of Farr, both in the Highland djess, acting as lieutenants, took his position at the head of his men at Tomnahurich-bridge. When the carriage came in sight the cortege were loudly greeted by the chief and his followers, who, closing up behind, preceded by Bruce, the piper of the Mackintosh, playing the fine martial pibrochs of the clan, formel a guard of honour, and escorted the Prince till he joined the procession. As the carriage containing his Royal Highness, the Marquis of Abercorn, and Mr. Baillie, of Dochfour, came in sight of the civic assemblage, a deafening shout was set up, to which the heavy boom of artillery from the Castle , hill gave the time, and the bells of the town rang a merry octave. The bands very appropriately struck up "The Lass I left behind me, —a happy allusion to her Majesty that was generally appre ciated. From the bridge to the Exchange the street was lined by the various public bodies, the royal cortege passing up the centre. A broad stripe of fine carpet was laid over the Exchange from the carriage to the Town-hall, which is a handsome building of some antiquity, and contains fine paintings of Presi dent Forbes, Flora Macdonald, and others. His Royal Highnses was led into the hall by the Provost, and accompanied by the Marquis of Abercorn and the other members of the royal suite, when an address was presented, to which his Royal Highness returned a gracious answer. His Royal Highness then presented himself at one of the windows, and was received with tremendous cheering, which he acknowledged by repeatedly bow ing. Three cheers were given by the meeting for the Queen, Prince Albert, and the Prince of Wales, after which his Royal Highness left the room, pro ceeded in the carriage up Castle-street to visit the county buildings. The magnificent view enjoyed from the Castle-hill elicited his Royal Highness's warmest admiration. Returning by the same route, the Prince took his departure for Dochfour with marked pleasure and satisfaction at the agreeable visit, and the loyal attentions of the inhabitants of Inverness. After his arrival at Dochfour, his Royal Highness walked for some time with Mr. Baillie in the garden and beautifully-arranged and picturesque gnuenr the ehEicarhl o suf r s ro e u afi n e d id th p e res h e o n u t s e e d . an Sh a o d r d t r l e y ss b f e r f o or m e din the county of Inverness. m hi b s ythe extreme citizens gratificationensof Inverness.wit h His Royal High ness took' occasion re p eatedl y to express The following part ies were invited to meet the Prince at dinner, and we re all in attendance :—The Mar the to Mr. Mar quis of Stafford , E arl Grosvenor, the Earl of Seafield, Lord Lovat, Lor d Saltoun, Lord Como Russell, Lady reception g.ißveainllhiei Rachel Russell, Mr. and Lady Louisa Ramsay, the Mackintosh, Mr., Mrs. and Miss Hay Mackenzie, of Cromartie, Seaforth, Glenmoriston, &c. &c. ; Sheriff Tytler, Mr. Grant of Bught. At ten o'clock the Prince, accompanied by the Marquis of Abercorn and Mr. Baillie, came into the northern meeting, and were followed by all the party at Dochfour. His Royal Highness was dressed in plain clothes, a nd wore a star and g ar ter , as did - also the Marquis of Abercorn. Having remained about two hours at the ball, his Royal Highness re turned to Dochfour, where he slept and passed the night. After breakfast this morning the Prince was accompanied by Mr. Ballie and family, and those staying at the house, to the temporary floating pier, consisting of six barges thrown out into the loch, and at half-past nine his Royal Highness embarked in the Fairy, proceeded up Loch Ness, visiting the celebrated Falls of Foyers in passing, and reached Furt Augustus at mid-day. His Royal Highness was expected to join her Majesty at six o'clock this evening at Fort William, to depart to-morrow morn , ing on the homeward voyage from Scotland. FLEETWOOD, MONDAY AFTERNOON.---14 tO the latest hour of regular dispatch the eagerly expected royal squadron is not in view. The expected arrival of the Queen at this port has created the greatest possible interest amongst all classes of society in the manufacturing districts of Lancashire and Yorkshire. We have already noticed the preparations which have been made by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company for the royal landing, and the con veyance of her Majesty, the Prince, and family, en route to Buckingham Palace. The selection of this newly-made and most eligible port to receive our Gracious Sovereign on her return from her Majesty's Scottish dominions, is justly regarded as the most eventful era in the history of a place which a few years since was nothing but a sandbank, and if the Queen should so far condescend as to receive the loyal address of the authorities, the gratification of the en terprising inhabitants will be complete. The formation of the new port of Fleetwood, now the principal mail communication between England and the north of Ireland, was commenced in 1837, under the supervision and plan of Captain Denham, R.N., marine surveyor, and completed considerably below the estimated cost, a very rare circumstance. The site of the town of Fleetwood in 1837 was a mere rabbit-warren, and scarcely a street in the place; it is built upon the property of Sir Hesketh Fleet wood, whose mansion is about a mile from the town, and was famous by the resort of the conspirators in the time of Cromwell ; there is still the remains of an underground communication, three quarters of a mile from under the house. Nothing can surpass the beauty of the view from Fleetwood over Morecombe Bay, Ulverstone, &c., and to the Cumberland mountains, topping one above the other in every conceivable variety ; the view is extensive and grand beyond description. Lancaster is seen on the right, with its noble castle towering above the town, and the beauty of the scenery to a considerable distance round about it is exceedingly picturesque. For the public, on this joyful occasion, every pr sible accommodation has been provided by the com pany, and special trains have been running from every town on the line of railway between this place and Leeds and Manchester ; the consequence is, that thousands of people have flocked thither frOm those places. Although the royal squadron has not yet made its appearance, there is no doubt that it was her Majesty's intention to reach this place last night. The state railway carriage arrived here, by com mand, last night, and Mr. Wheeler, the news-agent, at Manchester, received instructions on Saturday night to furnish several of the London daily and pro vincial newspapers to the royal party at Fleetwood on Sunday night. There are still a great number of visitors in the town, amongst whom are Sir Heslieth Fleetwood, the lord of the manor ; W. Gale, Esq., the high sheriff; J. W. Patten, Esq., M.P.; James Heywood, Esq., M.P. ; Wilson Ffrance, Esq., late sheriff of the county ; Henry Houldsworth, Esq., chairman of the railway company, and many of the directors ; General Sir Thomas Arbuthnot, and several other officers &c. Daring the whole of the morning the wind has blown a stiff breeze from the north-west, which is the most favourable wind for the royal squadron should it be on its way to this port. GREENOCK, SEPT. 19. The Princess Royal passed close to the royal squadron (saluting in the usual form) steering south wards, at half-past six this morning, off the Point of Corsewall.—Glasgow Argus. EXPECTED ARRIVAL AT BUCKING-HAM PALACE. Her Majesty's return was expected in town early yesterday afternoon, and a crowd of persons assem bled early at the Euston-square terminus to greet the Queen on her Majesty's arrival again in the metro polis. Along the line of route, and at the park gates, groups of persons also collected, and, notwithstand ing the heavy rain, they kept their ground for many hours. A long line of carriages also assembled in Hyde Park, and the inmates waited patiently for many hours the return of the Court. [PR7OE SD. The Vixen steam-sieloop, Commander A. P. Ryder, came into the h ar b our thi s morn i ng , t o replenish fuel, and refit for foreign service "on station. The Fury steam-sloop, Commander J. Wilcox, got under weigh this morning, and proceeded to the westward for a trip round the Isle of Wight to try her engines. She goes direct to Rio, thence to the East Indies. The Geyser steam-sloop, Commander F.T.Brown, hauled off from the dockyard this morning, to have her compasses tried. It is understood this vessel and the Fury will sail together for Plymouth about Satur day next. The Howe, 120, Captain Sir James Stirling, is taking out her powder, lower deck guns, &c., prepa ratory to coming into harbour, where she will be docked to examine her bottom. The Fisgard, 42, Captain Duntze, landed her treasure to-day; it was in most excellent condition as to the package, rather an unusual circumstance, which reflects very great credit upon the officer most imme diately in connexion with its custody, Mr. T. H. C. Gray, the clerk of the ship. The Dockyard fire-brigade was called out this morning at four o'clock to assist at extinguishing a fire in Clock-street, Common Hard, Portsea. By the directions of Lieutenant Hall, the director of police in the dockyard, the hose of the engines of the establishment were fitted to the pipes in the yard, and carried the whole length of the Hard, whereby so immense a body of water was thrown upon the blazing tenement that the fire was speedily extinguished, though not before the house in which it originated was gutted. Had not this assistance by Lieutenant Hall and the men under his command been promptly rendered, the whole of Common Hard must have been destroyed, as a very fresh breeze, amounting to half a gale, had been blowing all night. CHATHAM, SEPT. 19.—The Sealark, 10 gun brig, Commander R. D. White, was towed into this har bour yesterday morning by the African steam-vessel, to be paid off, and this morning she disembarked the crew of a Brazilian schooner, of the name of Ebro, 164 tons burden, which she captured on her passage home, having 197 slaves on board, in 4 N. latitude, and 22 West longitude, bound to Rio de Janeiro. The crew of the slaver consists of Spaniards and Brazilians, 14 in number, one of them having died yesterday, on the passage to Chatham. They were landed at the Sun-pier, and conveyed thence to Lon don, to be disposed of by order of the Government. The Diligence, naval transport, Martin master, with stores from Pembroke, arrived alongside the dockyard this morning, and has commenced unloading. LOSS OF TWO WHALERS. (From the Hull Packet.) We regret that we have this week to record the total loss of two vessels, employed in the Davis' Straits Fishery; one, the Bon Accord, of Hull, com manded by Captain Lee, and the other the Alfred, of Boness. The following is an extract from a letter received by Mr. Robert Collinson, of this town, ma naging owner of the Bon Accord, from the mate, dated Egosminde, Danish Settlement, Davis' Straits, July 28,1647 : " We lost our ship on the 3d of July, and after 20 days' hard suffering arrived here, and are now on board the brig Peru, of Copenhagen. We had two fishes, 25 tons. The ship was lost in 75 deg. north, as was the Alfred, of Boness, also; she had one fish. The day before we saw fourteen sail about ten miles north of us. The 29th of June, the Prince of Wales, clean ; Lord Gambier, clean ; Truelove, one fish ; Abram, one small fish, all of Hull ; Traveller, one ; Joseph Green, one ; Resolution, one, all of Peter head. All the Dundee ships clean. The St. An drew, of Aberdeen, two fishes, and Pacific, same port, clean; Lady Jane, of Newcastle, one fish; the Kirkaldy ships clean ; the American ship, five fishes, 800 seals, 95 tuns. Signed Francis Lee, late mate of the Bon Accord, of Hull." In addition to the above, Mr. Robert Collinqon, who arrived here from Hamburgh on Wednesday, states that there were in that port fourteen of the crew of the Alfred, who had arrived from Davis' Straits, via Copenhagen, and reported that the whole of the crews of both the wrecked vessels were saved, except one of the Bon Accord, who died previously t her loss, and another of the same crew by falling froi an iceberg. Both were Shetland men. The following interesting narrative of the suffering of the crew of the Bon Accord, after the loss of th • vessel, is extracted from a letter of the mate to hi - wife, in this town : " It was on the 3d of July that we lost the shir, between three and four o'clock in the morning. It w:1 , then blowing a hurricane from the S.W., with con stant snow. The hands were called about a quarte of an hour before she was lost. I bad just time to get my things upon me, when the two floes came toge ther. I never thought that I had so much strength, for I carried my father like a doll and handed him over the side. I then ran down into the cabin to s7re his watch, but it was too late ; the deck under my feet and the beams above my head were flying in all directions, and it was with the greatest difficulty that I reached the deck again. I have lost everything. I never shall forget the sight. The Alfred was about 200 yards ahead of us. She took the nip first, and the ice weld right over her. Oh, what a sight ! To see 98 men upon the ice, some of them cursing the hour that gave them birth. I first looked at the wreck and saw there was no shelter there. Then, with horror, looked to the ice, and oh, what a sight met my eyes I There was my poor aged parent wring ing his hands and tearing the hair off his head, pray ing to God to take his life. These eyes, I hope, will never see the like again. We were twelve hours on the ice before we got a seat made for my father, and a fire made. I then went down to the wreck, and saved his chest and bedrug, one cask of pork, one cask of bread, one- cask of flour, four casks of ale, and twenty gallons of brandy, which we took to his tent, and got the crow's nest there also, to make a bed cabin for him. We then made a tent for the men, and a fire. I got an empty bread cask and made a tent for myself, but being wit through and cold I could nut sleep. I got up and walked on the ice to get warm, being almost perished. I went into the men's tent, and they had a fire that would have roasted a drove of oxen, but there was no chance of getting near it. They were laid one upon another, but at length the fire dis appeared through the ice, and when they awoke they were almost frozen. I then tra velled over to the Alfred's tents, and there they were a great deal more comfortable, for they bad saved their bedclothes and chests all dry. The next day was spent in getting our boats ready for launching over the ice; constant snow, and the wind blowing as hard as ever. We all suffered a great deal from wet and cold this day. The fifth it fell calm, with a very hot sun. We got some clothes dried a little. My father gave me a shirt and a p air of stockings. and be was in fl g oating wentupon down hbot tom u p, e most of my clothes were gone out , the men had taken them out, and then turned my chest bottom twa t t o e r the l w t rneoctk being and locked k c ed hest up, for the things that were underneath were gone, and those that were laid upon top were saved. At nine o'clock we commenced launching the boats over the ice, and at two o'clock in the morning of the 6th of July we got all the boats in a hole of water. I then lost my eyesight for two days by the reflection of the ice. I suffered a great deal, and I felt that I could have lain down and died, had not the thoughts of my wife and child b orne me through all my trials and sufferings. At four o'clock we launched our boat again and proceeded south, my father and otherick three boats in company. Midnight , very thick weather, s no n r o e w . ; from the southward. I blowing very bard for smooth water to save our had to bear up and run sm moderate ; saw three then my father and the three other boats , it i e t igh w t as of and weather of Duck Island, when it came on thick I lost sight of them, blowing very strong from the N.E., with a very nasty sea. Ten o'clock at night, landed on a barren rock very little larger than our Alfred's. boats lfr e cr s t . o the th e n n o b r o t r h e wa r them cl, companywhrch . provedwwithin n t o lo b be milesthe boat, and made some tea. Midnight, a little more moderate ; left the rock and landed on a larger island. I found out afterwards that the master of the Alfred was on one side of the island and lon the other. July Bth, heard a gun fired to the south of the island, which proved afterwards to be one of the Alfred's boats in distress, having shipped a sea o a clod:n my d chesti filled n t the eph to of ter wasm aken o r a , o en lieved by one of their own boats, which took him in tow and landed upon one of the small islands. At three o'clock in the morning we once more put t o sea, s c o a n l aandv h e a r v y in t g hi fi ck r : t four landed upon an island, worn out with pulling, made fire, and tea fried some meat in our old utensils ; six o'clock, left the island, one boat in sight to the north ward ; midnight, a light breeze from the N.E., suf fered a great deal from cold, having to launch our boats over very bad ice, knee-deep in wet snow, and I had nothing but a pair of shoes on, having lost both pairs of boots. July 9, six o'clock in the morning, landed on an island to make some tea ; found five dozen duck eggs on the island, fried them and made a very hearty meal. There were one of our boats and twe boats of the Alfred left the island as I landed. Eight o'clock, another of the Alfred's boats landed. Ten o'clock, left the island in company with the , Alfred's boat. Noon, could not get any further Admission, ls:; Schools, Half-price. R HODES' CYDER CELLARS TAVERN, MAIDEN-LANE, COVENT-GARDEN.

PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 20.—8 y the arrival of the Howe, 120, Captain Sir James Stirling, and the Vixen steam-sloop, Commander A. P. Ryder, we are put in possession of letters which enable us to follow up our details of the movement of Sir Charles Na pier's squadron, consisting of the St. Vincent, 120 (flag), Captain Milne; the Howe, 120, Captain Sir James Stirling; the Queen, 110, Captain Sir H. Leeke ; the Vengeance, 84, Captain Lushingtor. ; the Canopus, 84, Captain oresby, and the steam frigates and sloops, Sidon, Odin, Avenger, Dragon, Vixen, and Stromboli, which put to sea from Lisbon on the morning of the 10th inst., for a cruise of exercise and evolution, as did also a Spanish corvette and a French brig of war, leaving in the Tagus the Caledonia, 120, Captain Dixon, America, 50, Captain Sir T. Mait land, and the Jackal iron steamer, Lieutenant Com mander 'Western; also the Spanish commodore's ship, one corvette, a brig, and a steam sloop ; the French gunnery ship Iphegenia, and a steamer, and the Por tuguese flag-ship, a two decker, a frigate, and two or three corvettes and smaller vessels of war. By 7 A.M. the squadron was under weigh and standing down the Tagus in gallant style, the St. Vincent leading ; the Howe, Vengeance, Canopus, and Queen following in the order in which they are named, accompanied by the steamers, the Stromboli bringing up the rear. The St. Vincent and Howe stood into Caxia's bay ; the Vengeance, Canopus, and Queen kept their wind. At 7.30 the signal was made to " shorten sail, and prepare to be taken in tow by the steamers denoted.' Wind then about S.S.W., moderate breeze. At 8 the Canopus, taken in tow by the Dragon, passed the Vengeance, and went ahead at a good rate. The Vengeance was taken in tow by the Vixen ; the St. Vincent fol lowed in tow of the Sidon ; the Howe of the Odin ; and the Queen of the Avenger. The Howe had her sails furled ; the other ships had their topsails on the cap. At 9.20 A.M. the rate of towing, by signal, was—Canopus, 6+ knots ; Vengeance, 41 ; St. Vincent, 5f ; Howe, 5i ; and Queen, 5 ; moderate breeze and smooth water. At 10 cast off from the steamers, and set topsails, jib, and spanker. At sunset the squadron were excercised in reefing top sails and courses. _ _ " Saturday the 11th—light winds and calms. — At 3 P.M. the Howe parted company for England. The Avenger was ordered to get her steam up and proceed in shore to look out for the packet from England. "Sunday the 12th.—The Avenger rejoined and signalled ' Have not seen packet.' In the afternoon a steamer's train of smoke was descried merging above the horizon. The Avenger was immediately sent in chase; she returned about six P.M., with letters for the squadron from England. The signal was quickly flying, ' Send for letters,' at all times a joyful one. " Monday the 13th.—The line-of-battle ships were under w topsailsade to and form l i exercised at general quarters, each ship laid out her target and commenced firing shot, but a dense fog topgallant ieof- Canopus, put a stop to it for half an hour or more. When the a n weather epue cleared , a nd Queen, the uee n s i , gna l as m battle in single column and pass between the ta r gets. The St. Vincent led, followed by the Ven ge a n ce, sails ; each ship, as her guns were made to bear on the targets, commenced firing from both sides six rounds from each gun in rapid su • ccession, with spirit and good aim. The firing was admi • rablygood, not a shot having been fired but had would have struck a ship had one been in the targets' l p ace; as it was they were riddled. In the meantime the Vixen had been ordered to Lisbon, eth and signal was made , t hat there would be an • si opportunity for sending letters to England by her when she returned. The steam squadron were then ordered to unship their floats and try their rate of sailing. They started about ten A.M., and returned at four r.M. in the following order :—Sidon, Dragon, Avenger, Odin, and Strom boli, the wind right southerly, a royal breeze, with smooth water.
