Majest . y*s Victualling re Yard, Deptford, whose demise t oo k pl ace on Sunday night week under very remarkable circumstances. The investigation lasted five hours, and caused great sensation in the neighbourhood. The jury having been s.worin, proceeded to view the body, which presented the ;remains of a delicate looking little woman. The appearance of her hands caused the jury to suppose she had died. of ch o l era. On the return of the coroner and jury to the inquest room the following evidence was; adduced : Mercy Lydia Bywater, wife tif a cooper in her Majesty's Victualling Yard, deposed that she lived next door to the deceased, who used to complain of pain at the heart. Deceased has three T children, of the respective ages of rive, nine, and sixteen. The deceased and family lived alone; no lodgers. On Syn.- day erening week, at eight o'clock, yotmg Hutchings called, and said his father wished to see her, his mother being very bad. Went, and Nand deceased in her bedroom; undressed her, and got her into bed. The deceased sad she had taken jalap. M r . H u t c hi ngs Le - et for some br.andy, which h e mixed with warm water, and Ttness administered it ; the deceased then vomited. Gave her some ten, which had the same efrect. De ceased said she had taken nothing bet jalap. Her husband replied that it was a d-d lie • she had taken s ome thi ng e l se; she had taken bitter e ' r..inge or bitter aloes. During the evenin g Mr. ilutcbings sAid he had som a arsen i c in a drawer, and he was afraid she had been to it. He had then it from a drawer up stairs, thrown the contents: on the fire, broken the bottle, an d t h rown it down!' the water.: closet. Witness laid down by deceased„. and at ball% past eleven o'clock gave h er some b ee r, which she vomited; gave her another half-pint, w.i th a like re sult. Deceased said her husband was a brute, and had behaved to her in a cruel manner. Hutchings told her he had given his wife some tea, tat deceased said she had taken jalap. Said she felt ill at half past one o'clock. The boy said his father had arsenic for rats and cats ; the latter had killed his chickens. Had taken the deceased home (house d her) many nights, on account of her husband's it 1-usage. He said he threw the arsenic into the fire at half-past five. Deceased told witness that EL tchings had acted very brutally; he called her a b— -y old coun terfeit, and a curled old sow, and the I he would 4serre-hez,:ps-bo-had done•before. :hat witness knew how. This was on Saturday nigh\ when be made a dreadful row. He was tipsy. She, called in a neighbour to assist her into bed, when sb e sent for Dr. Downing, the police surgeon. Dec, eased ex pired at half-past one on Monday morning. Had three fits after drinking the beer, and threw the glass across the bed. Deceased had scarcely abit of food, merely a cup of tea and bread, all day, ait times. Hutchings made the tea and brandy and 'water on Sunday. Deceased complained of great pain in her stomach. Edward Downing, surgeon, deposed thalt he was called to attend the deceased at half-past eight on Sunday evening. She was vomiting and complained of great thirst and pain ; pulse very weak, and ap peared fast sinking. Sent her a stringent mixture, and ordered brandy and water to be given. Mrs. Bywater called in the morning, and requirod a cer tificate, as the poor woman was dead. He told her that, understanding arsenic had been used be could not comply with her request, nothing about poison having been alluded to. Involuntary purging and vomiting was continually going on. Witness had made a post mortem examination of the body and contents of the stomach, which he had given over to Dr. lleisch and Mr. C. Taylor, M.D. Thcoght the deceased had been labouring under the effects of cholera. Mr. Caleb Taylor, M.D., deposed that he had exa mined the stomach and contents. Poi-on was preeLt. Charles Heisch, Esq, of Blackheath. Lecturer on ?Tactical Chemistry at St. Thotnas's 11.)spital, said 'le had examine:a the stomach. Be had cut it up and boiled it in di6tilletl- water. There were deep rod leeches on the surface of inflammation. 11E- it one hour, and placed it in a nevi. - pareel;aii dish, -ested it afterwards by the usual means, which led }lnn to suspect the pre-ence of arsenic. Had airendy dis •overed ten grains—two grains mi;„Tht cause death, 'ive would produce it, and ten would most certainly. F"ur medical practitioners had examined it, and expressed their conviction that a large quantity of poison had been taken. Mrs. Bywater re-called—Deceased told her she had taken no other medicine but jalap. Mrs. Mary Moulton said she breakfasted with de ceased's husband at two o'clock in the morning after death had ensued. He said he had dined with de ceased, and afterwards heard her groan. lie had lain down after dinner in the next room. He heard her groan again, and asked why ? She replied to him, nothing is the matter, only she had taken some jalap. He then said to her, " That be d—d." He had arsenic in the house in a bottle, which be had broken. He had broken open his son's drawer, in which it was, and had made off with it. Can't say when be broke open the drawer. He did not say when, only after the - groaning. He did not say what he thought was the cause of death. His wits could not get at it. They dined in the parlour. Mrs. Bywater re-called--She heard deceased cry very much in the morning about her husband's treat ment the preceding night. Thomas Hutchings, aged sixteen, eldest son of the deceased, deposed that his mother was pretty well at breakfast on Sunday, about nine o'clock. His mother afterwards prepared the dinner —potatoes, batter pud ding, and beef. He took it to the baker's, and all dined off it. His mother ate some pudding. After dinner she retched. Had a mulberry pie also. His mo ther ate none of it. Half an hour after dinner he was taken very sick and retired upstairs. Father was up stairs at the time. Mother cried at 10 o'clock, and father went out, and returned at ten minutes to one. Wit ness went out after dinner, and remained till half past five. His father made tea at six o'clock, and took some up to his mother. She drank it, and retched afterwards. Witness had a bottle containing arsenic locked up in a drawer up-stairs ; was given. him by a hostler to kill cats and rats. His fowls had been killed by the cats. The bottle was one-fourth filled with white arsenic. Had it two months ago. Always kept the drawer locked and the key in his pocket. Opened the drawer at seven on Sunday evening, all was right as he left the bottle ; had not opened the drawer for a week. Had forgotten that his father had broken open the drawer on Sunday last. When his father made the tea he said he had broken open the drawer and took the stuff out, and said that he thought his mother had taken something. This was at half-past five. His father broke the bottle and threw the contents into the fire, and told his little brother to put the bottle down the privy. His mother did not know there was poison in the drawer. He never used it. His father mixed it for the cats. Father kept the bottle one day a month ago, a d gave it him back again to lock up. Did not say why he broke the ln.ttle. Father had not beat mother for a long time. A hostl , r gave the arsenic. His brother fetched the dinr-:.r Charles Hutchings, aged nine veer:, deposed that 11; . s. brother had poison to kill cats ; never saw it used at all. Thomas Hutchings re-called—The bottle was half lull of polion. Hutchinws, the husband, was called in, and the coroner informed him of the nature of the evidence that had been given; that arsenic was in the house in large quantities, but under lock and key, and that the dcceaFed was taken ill before the drawer was kroken open, and having cautioned Hutchings that whatever he disclosed Ns to the dreadful affair would he taken down against him, and thizt he was not bound to say anything unless he did Fo voluntarily, Hutchings said he did not intend to make any stat e .. ment at all. He was an innocent man, and that was sufficient. The room was then cleared for about an hour, and on the doors being re-opened, the husband was again called in, and the Coroner addressed him as follows : —John Hutchings, it is my painful duty, after it most patient investigation into the whole of th e evi d ence, to inform you that the jury by the solemn verdict e they f have taken, agreed unanimously i Wilful Murder against you, and that you will be forthwith committed to Nevvgate to stand your trial on this most serious charge. Or GAS.—BRISTOL, SUNDAY MORNING. —An accident occurred last night at the church of St. Matthew, Itingsdown, which caused the utmost con sternation and alarm throughout the neighbourhood, and will, it is fear e d, l ea d to the death of at least one person. since It would seem th at t h e gas - meter o f t h e church,b y the being out of repair, it was remove d a f ew d a y s workmen of the gas c om pany, for thuese at the time by purpose of being d repaired and r egu l a t e d.

SUNDAY Nnairr.--The excitement occasioned on Friday last by the dreadful catastrophe onboard the Cricket steamer rather increased than diminished on Saturday, and thousands of spectators thronged every point of the shore from which a view of the wreck could be obtained. The exertions of the parties employed to raise the hull of the vessel were eontioued without intermission during the whole of Friday night. Unfortunately, however, the difficulty of passing the chains under the afterpart of the vessel was so great as to defeat all their endeavours, and the morning tide of Saturday again washed over the highest point of the wreck. Mr. Stephen Poletti, the superintendent of the Ant and Bee Company, under whose exclusive manage ment the raising of the wreck was placed, continued his operations during the whole day, and before even ing the vessel had very considerably changed her position, the united efforts of the Bee and Echo steamers having been almost unceasingly employed to force it towards the shore. It was not however until four o'clock yesterday (Sunday) morning, that the hull was fairly swung on the chains attached to the lighters employed. This done, very little difficulty was experienced in driving the vessel ashore, and at ebb tide yesterday morning (11 o'clock), the wreck of the Cricket was lying "high and dry" on the shore immediately under Adelphi-terrace. The position of the vessel now, for the first time since the accident, afforded an opportunity of making a minute examination of its shattered remains, and we were fortunate in obtaining from Mr. Elijah Gal loway, the civil engineer, who witnessed the explo sion, and yesterday made a careful inspection of the wreck, the subjoined account : The Cricket was fitted with two boilers placed abreast of each other, the starboard of which ex ploded. The boilers were what is termed " tubular," the fire being contained in a large tube about three feet in diameter within the boiler, and therefore sur rounded by water. In this description of boiler the flame, or heated air from the large fire tube, returns to the front of the boiler through a number of small tubes about two inches in diameter, also surrounded by water (there were sixty-two of these tubes in the boiler in question) So far as can at present ne as certained, the explosion seems to have commenced (so to speak) by the separation of the front plate of the boiler, i n to which both the lar g e and smeller fire tu bes are fixed, from what is termed the "shell" of the boiler. From the appearance of the wreck, and the remains of the boiler, it seems evident that the shell flew away from the front plate and tubes in one piece, being erejected with a rocket-like force through the bulk- head of the vessel, and along the after cabin to the stern-post, which it broke through, and :hen fell into the water at seine distance. In ire pas stge it cut through the iron bulkhead, carried away the corresponding timbers, as well as the whole of the after-deck, and finally opened a passage for itself , through the contracting space or run of the vessel, cutting away all the angle-irons, which form what would be the timbers of a wooden vessel, breaking the rudder-post into three pieces, and in point of fact laying the two sides of the vessel, which in their 0: i e inal form are of course nearly vertical, almost flat. Having thus shown the direction taken by the " shell" of the boiler, it may be stated that the front plate and tubes were projected in an opposite direc tion against the framework and machinery of the vessel. This fact is demonstrated beyond doubt by , the appearance on the surface of the front plate of considerable indentations, corresponding with similar marks on the framework and several parts of the machinery. But for the interruption thus afforded to the progress of the front plate and tubes, the fore cabin of the vessel would have been destroyed, and the passengers on the fore-deck must inevitably have shared a similar fate to those on the after deck. The funnel and boiler" casing," both of which are formed of weak iron, appeared to have been pro jected upwards by , the force of escaped steam, which they were totally inadequate to resist. In their pro gress they carried away the bridge connecting the two paddle-boxes, and fell into the water alongside the wreck. One most important portion of the boiler is unfortunately missing u p to the p resent time. This is the "dome," or steam reservoir, which is placed over the shell of the boiler, and to which are attached the safety-valves. It is supposed that this portion of the boiler must have been blown off at the same instant when the front plate separated from the shell, and ter, th o a f t a i n t ihnacshfatlhlecnki.ntoT:tlh3esrrinveiri at some t distance itfa from the wreck. It is of cour se most desirable that so important a portion of the boil er should not be lost, and every desirable means will be t aken to recover it. The small fire tubes are compara tivel y unin j ured, only two of their number being slig htl y bent, and this most probably arose by their separatio n from the front plate. The upper range of tubes are covered with the usual incrustation or deposit from the wa ter, and their present condition (in the opinion of M r. Galloway) indicates that the accident did not arise boiler. Asa from any lack of a proper supply of water in the proof of the extraordinary force te afterwith part which of the boiler shell was projected along h the vessel, it may be mentioned that the cast iron stove in the cabin at which the poor call-boy Shade was boiling the captain's coffee when the explosion occur red, is found to be cut directly in two, the lower t est b a rs only remaining entire. The escape of the poor boy referred to f rom instant death is indee d mira culous. It will, however, be recollected that he ha s since died from the eterc(tsoaft, of llle injurieshe \f i he r o sustained. ss-reet , The boiler to wh ich the occident has occ urred was nißiairdoeugbhy. Mlts r.d .dimensionsTftmn dimensions were 6 feet 6 inches long, with a large fire tube 2 feet 6 inches in depth, and 62 smaller ones. The p lates used in its manufacture were three-eights of an inch thick in ever y p art, ex cept the steam c hest or dome, which is hut five - sixths of an inch, and th e t ube plates which are three- l qu h ar wi ve finiii2tecl to the honer maker by manufautueer 1 of those articles , are of the usual size, and formed of iron, about one-eighth of an inch in thickness. These dimensions were famished to the writer by Mr. Trot man himself, who states that every portion of the work in the boiler was executed under his own personal superintendence. Mr. Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, has issued his warrant for a jury to be empannelled this morning at eleven o'clock, but it is understood that after the identification-of the bodies, and the appoint ment of several eminent engineers to examine and report on the cause of the accident, the proceedings will be adjourned for a week. The Ant and Bee commenced running again" yes terday, and not the slightest diminution of passengers was observed. We stated on Saturday that the lives of four per sons bad been sacrificed by this terrible event. The body of a fifth victim has since been discovered, and fears are entertained that the river may yet have other corpses to yield up. The fifth sufferer is John Buckley, a fine young man, 19 years of age, who was picked up on Saturday morning, about cloven o'clock, near the third arch of Waterloo-bridge. The discovery and immediate identification of his remains were as singular as they were afflicting. In the crowd at the bottom of Arundel-street, who were looking upon the river, and watching the various boats upon its surface which were dragging tor bodies, was a woman, whose quick eye caught the shape of something which was being lifted from the water by a man who was groping among the mud on the opposite shore, With a mother's presentiment she exclaimed, "That is my son!" and as fast as her agitation would permit, she hurried round to the other side of the bridge. The body was carried to the vaults of St. John's Church, in the 'Waterloo-road, where the poor woman arrived, overpowered by her emotions, and immediately recognised the features of her son, who had left his home, No. 9, King-street, Covent garden, only a few minutes before the explosion took place. The unfortunate deceased was severely , scalded about the shoulders and back, and he ap peared to have sustained a compound fraCture of the thigh. A deep circular indentation is visible on the left temple, which would seem to have caused a frac ture of the skull without any abrasion of the skin ; and it is supposed that, like some of the other vic tims, Buckley was stunned by the explosion and the injury to his Lead; and that being rendered thereby totally helpless and insensible, he fell into the water, a;:d was drowned. His outer garment, a thick pilot coat, was torn to shreds by the explosion ; and it is not improbable that he was standing with his back to the boiler when the explosion took place. His empl o y men t was that of engineer to a steam-printing machine. The following is a list of those who have lost their lives : Mr. John Blunt, single, watchmaker. of 2, Shaftes bury-terrace, Vauxhall daridge - road. He was going to his daily emptoyment at Messrs. Frodshams, Change alley, Cornhill. pie was about 22 years of age, and, it is stated, was about to he married. John Littleton, age about 32, of 6, Bloomsbury street, Broad-street, St. Giles s, costermonger.—He has left a wife and family. At the time of the acci dent he was going to Billingsgate to purchase fish, and had 255. or 265. upon him, but only a few pence were found in his pocket after the accident. Both the above bodies remain at St. Martin's Workhouse. George Shute, age about 30, costermonger, of Driver's-buildings, Mild end. —He has left a wife and several children. This man was, we believe, in com pany with bolls, who was taken to the hospital severely bruised on the breast, and who afterwards identified the body. The right side of the head is terribly fractured, and a frightful gash appears upon the cheek. This man and Bolls had been to Covent garden-market, and had bought four bushels of appl e s, with which they were returning to Mile-end at the time of the accident. Shute was quite dead when brought to the hospital. Th o mas Shade, ge about 14, call-boy on board the Cricket, of Rose-street, Covent- garden.—He was boiling some coffee, it is stated, at the stove in the after-cabin, and as the boiler swept through this part of the vessel and almost gutted the cabin, it is won derful how he escaped being killed upon the spot. He was brought to the hospital insensible, and suffer ing from several fractures of the skull. The poor lad at first rallied a little, but died about two o'clock on Friday, the extent of his injuries from the first forbidding all hopes of his recovery. The two bodies last described are in the Charing-cross Hospital. Very little doubt exists that another youth has been killed by the explosion. The father of a boy, who lives in the same house with the deceased man Shute, has made the most anxious inquiries at the hospital. He states that his son, who is about 13 years of age, left home with Shute to accompany him to market, and has not since been seen or beard of. The agita tion and suspense of his family may be conceived. Fourteen persons were taken to the Charing-cross Hospital after the accident, of whom two are dead; two (Cahill and bolls) have been sufficiently reco vered to return to their homes, and ten remain. The young man Thomas Virgo Birks, w ho suffered ampu tation of the leg, is doing f avoura bly, but can scarcely yet be pronounced out of danger. An exa mination of the leg after removal showed that the main artery had been severed, and that mortification of the leg must have been almost inevitable unless the limb had been promptly removed. The injuries sustained by Benjamin Reepe, fish-salesman, of 78, Dudley-street, Bloomsbury, who is suffering from compound fracture of the jaw, are of a very se rious character; but he also is progressing favoura bl y . Mr. Solomon Cahn, merchant, a native of Germany, who was suddenly lifted up from the after-deck and whn tell with great violence into the bottom of vessel, is suffering from severe injury to the right foot and ancle, which were crushed and jambed among the pieces of plank and timber that fell into the hold after the hull was cleared out. Mr. Cahn states that he was looking at the boiler at the instant of the ex plosion, and saw the boiler-case fly over his head to wards the stern. Ha states that the boiler could not have exploded in consequence of the vessel leaning towards the shore, and thus leaving part of the pipes uncovered, because the steamer at the moment of the accident was not leaning to one side. Mr. Cahn and the other patients are, we are happy t o state, doing well. Most of them complain of internal b ru ises and pains in the chest and back, cau sed b y the violent concussion of the air ; and they all dis cover bruises more or less severe upon their persons, which they were not at first sensible of. It is unne cessary to republish the names of the patients in the Charing-cross Hospital, who were correctly described in our Saturday's impression, with the exception of William Rugg, cheesemonger, o f 118, Long-acre, whose name was incorrectly printed " Butt. The patients express themselves deeply indebted for the humanity, kindness, and attention of Dr. Golding, Mr. Avery, Mr.Yeung, and the ether medical officers of the institution ; while the patience displayed by Mr. Cain, the clerk, and by the inferior officers, in answering the numerous inquiries made, is highly praiseworthy. The value of these admirable institu tions is never so conspicuously disrlayed as upon occasions of this kind, when the highest skill aed almost unlimited means and appliances are employed to assuage the sufferings of the poorest members of the community, and to expedite their recovery. A searching investigation will be instituted by the Government iuto all the circumstances of the late fatal explosion on the river. An Act of the last session-9 and 10 Victoria, cap. 100—establishes a superintending power over all steam-vessels, and we trust that the Act will be strictly enforced for then üblic safety in f t future— will prevention as well as for p shment of such neglect and danger to human life, as the present catastrophe too plainly exhibits. The greatest care should be exhibited --The above work in preliminary examination, and a salutary punishment afterwards in cases where suffering and danger can b e traced to individual neglect.

The various wires of telegraphs beginning to intersect so many sections of our country, are said to have a decided effect upon electricity. That eminent s c i en tifi c man , Professor Olmstead, of Yale College, states, that as the storm comes up , and especially over the wires, say fifty or a hundred miles distant, the proved lightn by a ning y one is at tracted by . the wires, which can be remaining in the telegraph office for half an hour. About the time the storm is coming up the wires are continually filled with electricity. "It is my opinion," he says " that we shall never have any very heavy thunder ' showers or hear of lightning striking, so long as we hav e telegraph wires spread over the earth."

COURT CIRCULAR. ARLWERERIE 7 AUG. 26.—The Prince's birthda..7. At seven o'clock this morning a serenade hook place under her Majesty's and his Royal Highne es's window, performed by the sailors. At half-past two o'clock in the afternoon the gr ounds of Ardverekie were thrown open to every ct imer, to witness the celebration of Highland games in honour of the day, her Majesty giving prizes to all` the successful candidates. The ancient games of the hammer, the hurlilng stone, leaping, foot-racing, and dancing, were dis played one after another. The tents were pitched close by, and at the end of the games a substantial repast was provided for .any one who chose to avail himself. About 200 persons were present. Amongst the company we observed the Duchess Dowager of Bedford arid TAdy Rachel Russell, Lord Cosmo Russell, Lord Georgiarnt liornilly, Mr.. and Mrs. Macpherson, of Cluny, and family, Mr. And Mrs. Davidson, of Tulloch, the Hon. Captain Gordon, R.N., &c. The Prince of Wales was dressed in full Highland costume of the Stuart tartan, and three cheers' were given for the Duke of Rothesay, as well as for his illustrious parent. The royal dinner party will include this evening, the Marquis of Abercorn, Mr. Macpherson, of Cluny the Hon. Captain Gordon, R.N., and Mr. Davidson, of Tulloch. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE HIGHLANDS. THURSDAY NIGHT.—The sailors of the royal yacht, about 20 in number, took up their abode last night in the inn, which is occupied as a temporary residence by the Marquis of Abercorn. A band of merrier fellows never met before on Loch Laggan. They sang sea songs with the greatest glee till midnight, and at sunrise this morning they proceeded to the Lodge oti a musical expedition, which -does infinite honour to the fancy of her Majesty, by whom it was conceived, and exhibits the spirit of innocent hilarity which reigns throught the Court. This being the anniversary of Prince Albert's birthday, his Royal Highness was the special object of public honours. A gathering of the clans in the neighbourhood had been d su ay mm w o o n u e ld d u to ee c e o ss m a m ril e y m h o e rat a e d t v h a e ue o ed cca b s e io fo n ; but re the a e ~s t at he r. taned array" could assemble from the distant glens, it was thought desirable that the early morning should be signalised by some appropriate compliment to the Prince. The presence of her Majesty's jolly tars was opportune, and by the Queen's desire it was arranged that they should repair to the Lodge at dawn, and, stationing themselves under Prince Albert's windows, hail The t h e a mo p r p n r i o n a ;i ch day was s w mosti t a b u spi vocal cio u n s i . e 1 o } di o tiros since her Majesty's arrival the air was calm and balmy. Not a ripple disturbed the surface of the lake, in whose glassy bosom the green sides of the mountains and the brilliant foliage of the woods were reflected in the most vivid colours. Every thing gave promise of a warm, sunny day. The royal sailors were early afoot. They passed round to the Lodge by a floating bridge ; and a little after six o'clock commenced to serenade the Prince, by singing in excellent style Bishop's fine glee— " Hail ! Smiling Morn !" The deep swell of their voices, mingled with the dulcet strains of the violin, resounded over the bosom of the loch, and was echoed back by the hills. The sweet sound fell with delight on the ears of all who heard it. It startled the Prince from his slumbers, and his Royal Highness, asto nished and delighted, presented his thanks to the jolly tars. The party were afterwards entertained to break fast, and remained at the Lodge during the rest of the day. At twelve o'clock the Highlanders began to assem ble at the floating bridge. Soon after that hour the Marquis of Abercorn, Cluny Macpherson, Mr. D. Davidson, of Tulloch, the Hon. Captain Gordon, and other gentlemen, arrived, all dressed in rich High land costumes. Cluny Macpherson carried the shield which was worn by Prince Charles at the battle of Culloden. Farmers, tourists, and others, gradually arrived in cars and gigs. About halfpast one the Macphersons, arrayed in the tartan of their clan, marched down with the bagpipes at their head, their standard-bearer carrying the flag under which the followers of Cluny had fought in the two rebellions. Upon the arrival of this body of Highlanders the procession was marshalled by Cluny, assisted by the Hon. Captain Gordon and others; and after being conveyed in detachments over the Pattock, the whole body proceeded to move towards the Lodge. The Macphersons marched in the van—a small body of Macdonalds next—the general crowd followed—and the rear was occupied by a pretty long train of car riages, of various kinds, containing numbers of ladies, whose gay dresses helped to enliven the motley ap pearance of the men. As the procession entered the lawn her Majesty and Prince Albert, leading the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal, and followed by Earl Grey, the Duchess of Bedford, and a train of courtiers, were seen approaching from the Lodge. The Highlanders were immediately drawn up in line before the royal party, and the people took their places in the rear. The ground is peculiarly well adapted for such a dis play. The lawn grltdually ascends as it recedes from the Lodge, and is terminated by the green mound said to contain the dust of Fergus and other mo narchs—thus forming a natural amphitheatre capable of containing one hundred thousand spectators. The few hundreds assembled on this occasion presented but a meagre appearance, as they stood in line or loi tered in groups along this green gallery of nature ; but the grand and solitary aspect of the scenery, the distinguished personages who occupied the lawn, the lodge with its neat flower-garden, enclosed by the hays of the lake, and the lofty mountains which rise on every side, rendered the scene one of unusual in terest. As soon as the whole of the procession had reached the ground her Majesty and the Prince were greeted with loud cheera, which they graciously ac knowledged as they walked along the front of the Highlandmen. Mrs. Cluny Macpherson and Mrs. Davidson, of Tulloch, and the Misses Davidson, were introduced to her Majesty by the Marquis of Aber corn. A number of agile Highlandmen were then called out to engage in the games ; and the afternoon was spent in putting the stone, throwing the hammer, tossing the bar, jumping, running, and dancing—the Queen and Prince. Albert remaining on the lawn during the greater part of the time. Prizes of from five to ten guineas were awarded to the successful competitors ; and one of th e t en t s , con t a i n i ng a plentiful supply of refreshments, was open to the people during the day. At the close of the amuse ments loud cheers were given by the people, which her Majesty and Prince Albert acknowledged. The multitude then left the grounds. Bonfires have just been lighted on the King's Island, on Corryarder, and other prominent points round the Loch. In the course of the d , y Cluny Macpherson, Mrs. Macpherson, Davidson of Tulloch and his lady, and others, had the honour of taking lunch at the Lodge with the royal party. Her Majesty was in excellent spirits, and seemed to enjoy the scene very much. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT) ,'ARDVEREKI ~ Ana. 27. I arrived here early yesterday morning from Kin gussie, with the view of witnessing a scene that ex cited the liveliest interest, and engrossed the attention of the loyal inhabitants of Badenoch, Strathspey, and Lochaber, to the exclusion of everything else. Car riages, gigs, carts, riders on horseback, and foot passengers, continued to arrive during the forenoon at the place appointed by previous intimation ; and although only two days' notice of the gathering had been given, there was a large concourse of people, at a low estimate, I should say at least 1,500, besides the Highlanders, who numbered about 200. As soon as Cluny Macpherson heard that it was her Majesty's wish to have a Highland gathering, he issued a cir cular, of which the following is a copy : " The Queen having expressed to the Marquis of Abercorn her Majesty's desire to have a gathering of Highlanders at Ardverekie, on Thursday, the 26th instant, h honour of his Royal Highness Prince Albert's birthday, it is expected that all the inhabi tants of the country will gratify her Majesty by being present on this auspicious occasion. It is her Ma jesty's gracious intention to have Highland games, and to give prizes; the people to meet at the floating bridge at one o'clock P.M., and to walk up to Ardve raet k t i e e n i n o, c p l r o o c c k e s i s n i o t n h — e m C l o u r n n y i n ' (Si gn ed) " EWEN MACPHE RSON , of Cluny Macpherson. s g m o e f n T ht to be r b s e d aavt. the Castle The people began to arrive there lon g before one o'clock— s ome as early as nine A . M ., and ma n y were " Cluny Castle, Aug. 23, 1847." out all night in their march across the hills, so as to show their loyalty and attachment to their gracious Sovereign. At one o'clock the Highlanders were drawn up in a line from the road to the floating bridge, when Cluny announced that the Marquis of Aber corn would address them on the subject of the day's pro ceedings. His Lordship stated that her Majesty was his Royal Highness Pr ince Albert's birth-da y , and that T ii eve<l to hold this Jliebland ga t h e ring In honour M shewas also gracionsly pleased to offer prizes for the va rious games.

Captain Gordon, R.N. The foot p assengers were ordered to follow the Highlanders, the carriages, gigs, horses, &c., bringing up the rear. Ardverikie Ledge is about three miles from the floating-bridge, and, agreeably to orders, we all marched in procession, which had a very imposing effect. The wild music of the pipe., the heavy tread of the Highlanders, and other f oot passengers, with the long tr a in o f vehicles, made the scene one that will ever be green and fresh in the memories of all present. We had some beautiful views of the procession, winding its way round the turnings of the road, through the birch trees. Tne road i., as you are aware, on the south side of .Loch Laggan, and there are many beautiful and interesting objects which you cannot but see as you pass along, but more especially on this oeca sion, when there were such a concourse of people, with the war tunes from the pipes, echoed from side to side of the Lake. The people now arrived on the lawn in front of the Lodge, and formed themselves into half circle with an inner space for the High landers, who were received on the grottnd by Cluny and Tulloch. Cluny called on them to draw swords, each being armed with a broadsword and shield. Cluny stood in front of the Highlanders with his three sons. By this time her I\l2jesty was out on the lawn, accompanied by Prince Albert and the royal children, and was approaching, when Cluny and Tulloch gave the signal to cheer,which was enthusiastically responded to by all present, the ladies waving their handker chiefs. The cheering continued till her Majesty walked on foot to where the Marquis of Abercorn Vita Marquis stood at the head of the High landers fully equipped in the Highland costume, wearing the Order of the Garter below the knee. The Queen walked up in front of the Highlanders, having a most pleasing expression on her counte nance. Her Majesty seemed quite delighted with the fine appearance of the men, and as soon as she had bowed to them all, she returned to where her suite were, at the lower end of the lawn. The Hon. Capt. Gordon and Tulloch took charge of the games, and the Marquis of Abercorn stood beside the Queen, while Cluny stood in command of the Highlanders. The names of the competitors were read over by Mr. Cattanach, the head forester or keeper for the Marquis of Abercorn, and each man as his name was called, stepped out of the circle, and threw off his coat, &c. The sports of the day com• menced with throwing the heavy stone, and this, as well as all the other games, were keenly contested, and afforded much amusement to the royal party and other spectators. The prizes were awarded as fol lows : Throwing the Heavy Stone. st Prize—Samuel Kennedy, gamekeeper to Tulloch.. £5 5 0 A ..

Several Strathspey reels were danced in first-rate style on the lawn, in presence of her Majesty, but the prizes were not awarded till this afternoon. Thus ended the day's proceedings, when all were Sumptuously entertained at the expense of her Majesty, in nicely fitted-up booths. Mr. Angus Mackay, the Queen's piper, played several tunes to the dancers. 5 5 0 I ought to mention one thing which occurred, and which all admitted was the most interesting sight of the day. As the games were going on, the Marquis of Abercorn presented Mrs. Cluny Macpherson and her family, Mrs. Davidson and the Misses Davidson, Tulloch, to the Queen. Her Majesty conversed for some time with Mrs. Macpherson, during which one of her sons, a smart little boy, came up to his mother, and was immediately noticed by the Queen. He is about five years of age, and was dressed in the High land costume. lle made his bow to her Majesty, who introduced him to the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal. In two minutes after the three were seen walking up and down, having hold of one ano ther's hands—the Princess Royal being in the middle. Just as the crowd was dispersing, the Prince of Wales was called into the Lodge, and when parting with the little Macpherson the Prince was heard to say—" Don't go away, please, we'll meet again." The crowd gave three cheers for the Prince of Wales, and he turned round and took off his High land bonnet, and make a bow in acknowledgment. The Queen remained out all day, and seemed to take great interest in the games, and Prince Albert. himself measured the distance to which the stone was thrown. At the conclusion of the proceedings, Allen Mac donald, the bard of the district, was introduced by Cluny, and recited an original piece of his own com position welcoming Queen Victoria to the Highlands. Poets Laureate used to get a cask of wine on such oc casions, and Macdonald was also handsomely re warded by her Majesty. The attendance throughout was very great, and amongst others, included the following, viz. :—Prince Leiningen ; the Duchess of Bedford ; Marquis of Abercorn; Duke and Duchess of Norfolk; Lady achael Russell ; Lady Jocelyn ; Earl Grey ; General Wemys ; the Hon.
