" O❑ the 25th there being no appearance of land, the boat's course was altered to westward, with the hope of falling in with some ve•ssel. They continued this course till the 28th, the wind being all the time eastwardly. On this day, for the first time, it rained for about two hours. By using two pairs of shoes, all they bad among them, and by wringing their clothes, they succeeded in getting about half a pint of water each. " From this time till the 31st, they saw no vessel, and were without water. On the 31st and the day following it rained three or four hours, and they obtained sufficient water to quench their thirst for the time. From the Ist to the 6th of August they obtained no water, but on one of those days they picked up a piece of bamboo, which was found to contain four small fishes about two inches long, which they divided among them : this was all the food they had while in the boat. On the morning of the 6th three ships passed them, but it was supposed the boat was not seen by them. Tuey were, however, soon after wards gratified with the sight of the ship which afforded them relief, on board of which they received every care and attention." BUENOS AYRES.—Advices from Buenos Ayres of the 29th of June state that the House of Representaives had confirmed the law authorising a monthly remittance of 5,000d015. to Messrs. Baring, Brothers, on account of the dividend till sonic definite arranuement is made for the liquidation of the foreign debt. The return of many of the old English residents for their native land seems to have created some sensation in the Argentine Republic, and their departure is mentioned in terms of regret. The packet bringing these accounts is the bearer of 10,000 dls. being the amount for May and June. By the same op portunity we learned the fact of the departure of Com modere Purvis for Rio de Janeiro, having been superseded by Captain Talbot, of the Vestal, till Sir Thomas S. Pasley takes command of the station. Paz was reported to have sailed for Rio Grande. The exchange on En gland was quoted 31d. SYDNEY.--Sydney papers to the 12th of May have come to hand, but being only a week later than those re ceived on Thursday last, they add little to the information before made public. Business transactions continued ex ceedingly limited, and there was no actual improsernent in prices to notice. Wool in grease was fetching 7d per lb., and choice flocks Is Id to is 2d per lb.; flour, accord ing to quality, was £9 to £ll per ton; sperm oil was quoted 1:22 to £2 1 per ton.

I talked on the last day of impeaching the judges"—[yea, and her Majesty's ministers and law-advisers —but they are dropped out already !]—" the judges who took part in this case. I think the most constitutional mode of proceeding with reference to them, is to address the crown to remove them" 1I Why, it is but a week ago since " impeachment was the only remedy." How comes it that there is now another and a better ? Mr. O'Connell hardly knows his own mind : but are they a rational or high-spirited people who suffer themselves to be tossed about like a weathercock at every variation of his tem perament ?—Dublin Mail. THE GOVERNMENT AND THE CHURCH. —It was well said by the Dublin Mail, the other day, that the Church of Ireland is the only body in that country now left to its own resources for the education of its youth. The government having always used Ireland as a wedge in its encroachments upon the Church, formed a scheme for taking the education of that people into its own hands, cut of those legitimately entitled to it, and established a so-called "National Board," which, by suppressing or mutilating the Bible, was to propitiate all parties, and educate in the same schools children of every denomina tion. Of course the pastors of the Church of Christ in that country could not thus suffer the lambs of their flocks to be led astray ; they declined to join the " Na tional" or government board, and instituted a society (precisely analogous to our own National Society, whilst it was at variance with the Committee of Council), which they denominated the " Church Education Society." 'I his Society, through the Bishops and Clergy of Ireland applied to the Government for a grant of public money, AND lT WAS REFUSED !! And then Sir Robert Peel, in his place in Parliament, impugns the conduct of the Bishops and Pastors of the Church in Ireland, who, true to their ordination vow, refuse to succumb to the " National Board," and to allow the children of the Church to be educated in false principles or on no prin ciple at all.—Churchman's Newspaper. - Porrsu OUTRAGES.—We have alreadidetailed several diabolical outrages committed by the Papists of Cork upon the Protestant inhabitants of that city, and especially on Sunday, profaning the Sabbath and interrupting the service at the various churches. The Rev. Dr. Neligan, rector of St. Mary's, Cork, in a letter to the Cork Con stitution of Tuesday last, says, that on the previous Sun day, " During the reading of the First Lesson, the noise in the street became so great that I was obliged to give directions to the sexton to close the doors of the church ; but the moment the sermon commenced, the yelling in. creased to a frightful extent—the street became densely crowded—a mob, carrying six blazing tar barrels, with lighted torches, flambeaux, &c., rushed up to the church gate—stopped there while they gave three tremendous shouts, and fired some shots in the direction of the church—the muzzles of the guns being pointed (as I am informed` at the outer door. The interruption continued as long as the service lasted. As soon as it was over, all was tolerably quiet. Several persons were induced by fear to leave the church." The reverend doct r says, that the expressions used were too profane for hiro to write them, but the editor says they were such as these:—" Bad luck to the bloody Orangemen—by G—, but we'll put bullets in the guns the next time, and riddle their bloody Pro testant sowls." "To hell with the Protestants—they're inside at the devil's house—they're praying to the devil and at his service ton. If it be any comfort to Doctor Neligan, he did not suffer alone. In St. Peter's Church, scarcely a sentence of sermon or service could be heard, and when a policeman, at, we believe, the request of one of the clergymen, interfered, the yelling increased, as if with the determination effectually to stop the service. Are these things to continue ? From the mayor we hope for nothing ' - but is there no Protestant magistrate who , in this plain desertion of the duties of the mayor's office, will undertake to deliver the city from the ruffianism which has usurped the place of authority and law ? THE FEAST OF THE MARTYRS.—At this cathering on Thursday last, in Dublin, there were present one lay lord, the Lord French—four titular bishops, the criss cross Lords of Kilfenora, Ardagh, Meath, and Clogher— eight mayors, the Rev. Tom Maguire, and a gentleman of whom we have never had the pleasure of hearing before, but who is described in the Freeman's Journal as his Excellency General O'Neill, Marquis La Grauja. The rest, it is said, made the tale amount to nine hundred and sixty. Of course, the chief speech was O'Connell's, which was commenced thus—" It is very good to cheer — it is very pleasing to be cheered—provided it does not last too long ; but cheering alone won't do—word's won't do— we must have actions." Our readers will recollect that Mr. O'Connell, in his first speech after his liberation, propounded the same dogma, and that he then announced distinctly enough three lines of action in which he pro posed immediately to engage. He was, first, to hold the Clontarf meeting—secondly, to call together the Society of Three Hundred—and thirdly, to impeach the judges and others concerned in the state prosecutions. It will not, we presume, be forgotten, that on Monday (as may be seen from another paragraph) Mr. O'Connell, as dis tinctly as he had proposed them, again declared his in tention of abandoning each and every of these lines of acticn—so that he would neither hold the Clontarf meet ing, nor form the Preservative Society, nor impeach the judges. On Monday last, action was to be given up, and words and cheering were to be again the order of the day. On Thursday, however, if we should judge by the sen tence we have quoted above, the programme was again revised, and deeds and action were once more to signalise . the march of repeal. What sort of deeds are tho-e to be ? many of our readers will tremulously inquire. We shall let Mr. O'Connell reply in his own words. He is to begin to act " by one and all being prepared to approach the parliament, at the commencement of the next session, the united and combined voice of Ireland embodied in our petitions." " What a falling off is here, my coun trymen." Ireland, proud and erect in the majesty of her new-born independence, and in the might of her monster meetings, can Mr. O'Connell advise her to bend her neck before the insolent Saxon, as an humble petitioner fur that which Mr. O'Connell has so often declared to be her right to obtain, and within the simple prerogative of her beloved Sovereign to grant. Spirit of the Nation! in what strains of sadness will thy next manifestation bewail this mournful proof of the defilement which even the glorious incarnation, in the burly form of O'Connell, has suffered in the dungeon ! He, whose free mind disdained to mingle in consultation with the Saxon within the walls of St. Stephen's, now proposes to approach that shrine of the cacodemon of Ireland in the humble guise of a peti tioner. But still worse is in store. Repeal i e'f is to be abandoned, and the poor instalment of a grand jury par liament to be sought for in its stead :—We prefer—most of us prefer—the simple repeal of the act of union ; but there is not one of us who would not be content to repeal the act of union, and substitute a federal parliament. (Hear, hear.) Not one." In these two propositions, viz., to petition parliament, and to make the subject of that petition a federal parliament, the whole course of action announced by Mr. O'Connell is included. We shall see whether or not this will satisfy the ardent long ings of Mr. O'Connell's supporters.—. Dublin Mail. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. The Ulster Railway Company have declared a dividend ; of 15s. per share from the balance of net profit, stated at £8,481, which would leave £693 15s. 3d. to be added to the reserved funds.

AMERICAN RAILWAYS. — An extraordinary perform. ance, equal to the greatest railway achievements of Great Britain, is recorded in the American papers.

Wi:h such avidity were the shares of this short but excellent line sought after, that although there were only 5,000 to be appropriated, the number applied for was very nearly 13,000. RAILWAY FROM NORWICH TO IPSWICH.—On Friday week a most important and influential public meeting on this subject, was held in the Guildhall, Norwich, at which the Mayor of the city presided. It was resolved, that a line of railway to Ipswich would be of vital importance to Norwich and the county of Norfolk, and that it was de sirable to further the extension proposed by the Eastern Union Railway Company.—lpswich Express.

Mean while, the parties who contemplate the line from the Pot teries to Crewe are proceeding with their surveys, and it is expected that the plan will shortly be laid before toe public by an independent company.—North Staffordshire Mercury. GLASGOW, DUMFRIES, AND CARLISLE RAILWAY. — We are authorised to state, that the directors of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, at their board meeting on Monday, unanimously resolved to recommend their company to subscribe £lOO,OOO to the stock of the above undertaking. This makes up the capital necessary for Parliament. The utmost exertions are making by the engineers to complete their plans, in order to be sub ' witted to the Board of Trade, and every prepar..tion is making for the approaching session. We understand that • the returns of traffic, particularly of local traffic, on the line of the proposed railway, are most favorable. The Aylesbury Railway Company have declared a divi dend of Bs. per share. being at the rate of four per cent. per annum. The report states that the Birmingham company scrupulously fulfil their contract by repairing the permanent way, and have increased the accommodation on the line by placing on an extra train, at accelerated speed, to and from Aylesbury. The shareholders appear Inclined to sell the railway to the Birmingham company, and it is proposed to offer it for the original cost, viz., £60,000, Under the new arrangement of lease it is said the terms payable by the Birmingham company for the next seven years will not yield the shareholders more than three per cent on their investment. IRISH RAILWAYS.—A meeting is to be held at Water ford on Monday next, for the purpose of forming a railway between Tipperary and Waterford: A meeting was also held in Dublin yesterday, which was attended by Lord Glengall, the Ala fors of Kilkenny and Waterford, and several other influential gentlemen connected with the south-eastern counties, when it was resolved, not merely to bring before the public the Limerick and Waterford line, hut also a junction line between the Limerick and Waterford railway and Kilkenny, either from Clonmel or Carrick. Thus the gentry of Kilkenny will hive the option of running a railway from their city into the Cashel and Dublin Main Trunk Line, by Abbeyleix or Carlow — so that in fact the south-east of Ireland will have the advantage of railway communication to the north and east. A meeting will, we hear, be held at Clonmel in a short time, for the purpose of combining all the agricul tural and mercantile interests of these wealthy portions of the country in aid of this most interesting and laudable undertaking. —Dublin Mail .

The convert was a young man —Mr. Bohann—who was attached to a party conducting the government ordnance survey of the county of York. lie had been for some time in a course of discipline and instruction, under the care of the Rev. G. F. Townsend, Vicar of Brantingharn ; and on the above named day was admitted, in the presence of the Venerable Archdeacon Wilberforce and other clergymen, into the holy com munion of the National Church. DIFFICULTY OF RAISING AN ANGLICAN CATHEDRAL AT JERUSALEM.—The ground was purchased in 1838, but the preparations for the building were not commenced till February, 1840, and Mr. Johns, the architect ap pointed to design and superintend the progress of the structure, did not arrive in Jerusalem till July, 1841. The first difficulty was to form a foundation, owing to " the honeycomb nature of the debris accumulated on the rock of this portion of Mount Zion, arising from the numberless sieges and earthquakes Jerusalem has been subjected to, from the time when David wrested his ' stronghold ' from the Jebusites, till the wars of Mehe met. Such uncertainty of soil and rubbish existed (Mr. Johns adds,) that you could not form any conjecture as to what the next blow of pickaxe would alight upon, whether a portion of the ruined chamber, loose tubbish, some part of a destroyed arch, perhaps in an inverted po sition, a portion of a broken floor, or of tolerably solid masonry, and this would probably rest upon loose rubbish." He was accordingly compelled to proceed down to the ' rock itself, upon which on the 28th of January, 1842, the first stone was laid by Bishop Alexander, at the depth of 35 feet from the surface. On tt e2d November, the first stone above ground was laid by Mrs. Alexander. The work advanced till the middle of January, 1843, when it was stopped through the interference of the Turkish au thor:ties, at which time it had reached five feet from the ground. Some idea may be formed of the loborious na ture of the operations, when it is known that the greatest depth of the foundations is 42 feet, the least upwards of 30, and that the cubical contents amount to more than forty thousand cubic feet of masonry. THE COURT 4 FASHIONABLE WORLD. HER MAJESTY IN SCOTLAND. Sunday week was signalised by the first visit of her Majesty to the venerable Church of Scotland, in the .Parish Church of Blair Athol!. From the wet and gloomy state of the weather, it was doubtful almost up to the last moment whether the royal party would not post pone their intention ; at least many entered the church without any expectation of the Queen being present. Their surprise may be conceived, when exactly at the hour appointed for the service, her Majesty and the Prince quietly entered Lord Glenlyon's pew. The con gregation assembled of course kept their seats, and be yond a scarcely audible sensation there was not the slightest manifestation. Nothing could be more decorous and impressive than the whole scene. The Rev. Mr. Irvine, minister of the parish, preached a plain and lucid sermon from the commencement of the 13th verse of the sth chapter of St. Matthew, " Ye are the salt of the earth." At the conclusion the old practice which is still retained in most of ti e northern rural districts of col lecting the offering from each individual with the long handled ladle, was performed as usual, only that the col lector did not include Lord Glenlyon's gallery, where the royal party were seated, and who had given their charity on entering the church. On the congregation dismissing. the rain was pelting furiously. A party of the Highland guard, but unarmed, then took their places on each side the centreleading entrance otbosrateinhnrte:eerHdo t gba o h yli Albert,cta t h ani eri Highlander carmhguaet congregation,ord. e e h B, her imitateuea But dswowaylined to hlrta%ot at perfect t h lt itwh e i eeear f r seeßwt wahcarriageiyardseaes ng de corumho necessity even for thiscvoee occasion Albert: slenderaasffioorn affording beeneneesgencntoarloet out tso oss T dho hioecoor opportunity n , t y lean ingost h l o i a r mod o eunot the n gm h e a dl P t ol the wet aa w yn e d t p and her gtr the t nea h e early part of the day in driving and Majesty occupied walking about the grounds. At three o'clock the Prince drove her Majesty in the pony phaeton and four to see the falls of Bruar. Her Majesty was accompanied by Lord Glenlyon and Lord Charles Wellesley. The Bruar water, which forms these celebrated falls, crosses the Inverness-road between two and three miles beyond Blair. Immediately on the other side of the bridge over which the high road passes there is a path way to the right, leading along the bank of the stream. At a distance of 40 or 50 yards from the bridge a gate is placed across the pathway, by the side of a pituresque looking cottage, where resides a woman who acts as guide to tourists and strangers coming to see the falls. The falls themselves (for they are many in number) form a really magnificent picture. The sides of the pass rise abruptly from the bed of the torrent, which has worn a path for itself, leaving immense rugged masses of stone overhanging the stream. The tops, and partly the sides, of these precipices are covered with fir, larch, and beech, which clothe them with a beautiful green. The Bruar water rushes through this pass in an impetuous torrent, sometimes turning aside to avoid an impediment, at others wearing its way through natural arches formed during long time by its own incessant force, and others leaping over the masses of rock in falls of from 100 to 200 feet. From almost every point of view the pass presents a grand and imposing aspect. Her Majesty was drawn up the greater part of the path way in her garden chair. The party returned to dinner at five o'clock. The Princess Royal, accompanied by her preceptress, took a walk on Tuesday morning in the grounds adjacent to the Castle. About twelve o'clock Prince Albert, ac companied by Lord Glenlyon, proceeded westward in a gig to the lands of Calovin, a tract of moorland about two mils above the falls of Bruar, to the grouse shooting, where in the course of less than an hour, his Royal High ness brought down seven brace. The Highlanders are in raptures with the Prince's skill as a marksman, which they say has not been equalled, much less surpassed, by any previous sportsman in Athol. It appears that his Royal Highness has a perfect command over the rifle and fowling-piece,•having been trained to the use of them from infancy. About four o'clock her Majesty was driven by Prince Albert in the pony phaeton to view the Falls of Tnmmell, They were accompanied by Lord Charles Wellesley on horseback, and were followed by Lord Glen lyon, Lady Canning, and Lady Caroline Cocks, in another carriage and four. Four servants on horseback also ac companied the party. They drove down through the pass of Killiecrankie, when the Queen stopped near the middle of the pass to survey the scenery around, and talking to her companions, referred with evident delight to the admiration she expressed for the scene taken from this point of view when she first entered it from the south. It is indeed worthy of all admiration. The fertile vale of the Garry is here bounded and locked in by the meeting of the mountains which confine its sides, and which, though comparatively retiring, sloping higher up the val ley, here rise in precipitous grandeur, and even appear to overtop or interlace each other from side to side, leaving a narrow gulley through whirs the Garry brawls and struggles through the deep deep below. Toe rocky sides of these hills are feathered to the very top with the larch, beech, oak, &c., forming a scene which is perhaps un equalled in Scotland for the combination of the wild, the magnificent, and the picturesque. The royal party were hastened away from this view of the pass by the violent plunging of one of the horses in Lord Glenlyon's car riage, that defied all the efforts of the servants to soothe him ; and so alarmed did the ladies become— this being at a narrow part of the road, and immediately overhanging a frightful precipice—that they got out. Here I.er Majesty and Prince Albert, with the rest of the party walked on foot for fully a mile to the scene of the Falls. The walk itself is a charming one, combining every variety of mountain scenery. In some parts the road was so narrow as with difficulty to permit two per sons to pass, while a fall would have sent the unfortunate person thirty or forty feet over the rocks into the brawl ing stream below. Her Majesty, however, we understand did not betray any symptom of fear, but gaily trode along the footpath ; and at the end of it was well repaid by the view which there presented itself. The Tummel here finds its way through a succession of rocks, which seem hurled in confusion together, telling a tale of former con vulsions of nature. The time at which her Majesty saw this magnificent scene was too late for her obtaining a sight of a beautiful natural phenomenon which is always to be seen in sunshine. The spray thrown up by the river in its fall, when shone upon by the beams of the eastern sun, form two magnificent rainbows at distinct points, but which may be seen together, and which com pletely span the fall. After walking about for some time, and viewing the falls from three different points, one of them a very rude sort of stone chair, on which her Ma jesty sat down, and where the print of her foot, visibly left on the soft ground, is already regarded by the inhabi tant s with almost superstitious admiration, the party re turned to the carriages, and drove back through the Pats, where they again stopped to have a parting look at the stupendous rocks that here gather on every side. The field where Graham of Claverhouse was shot—the house from whose window the fatal bullet was fired—as well as the stone marking the spot where he fell wounded from his horse—all attracted the attention of the royal party. About half-past six they returned to the Castle. About nine o'clock on Wednesday morning, her Ma jesty and Prince Albert, attended only by a servant of Lord Glenyon's as a guide, crossed the Garry at the ford of Invervack, and proceeded on horseback to the hill of Tulloch, a height on the opposite side of the road from the Castle, and immediately overhanging the Inn. Arrived on the summit, her Majesty and Prince Albert dismounted, and walked for some time along the ridge, commanding a view of Strathgarry, as far as the Pass, on the one side, and Glen Fincastle, on the other. They then remounted their ponies, and at half-past eleven returned from the hill. It may be added that her Majesty took he ford both in going and returning, without alighting from horseback. On returning, her Majesty's attention was attracted by Lord Aberdeen's huntsmen, who were stand ing around, and one of them was called up to speak to Prince Albert. Her Majesty was dressed in a shepherd's plaid shawl, and a mourning dress. On Thursday morning Her Majesty and the Prince walked about the grounds, and in the afternoon the royal party went some miles down Glen Tilt, to obtain a view of some of the vast herds of wild deer, of which there are said to be 12,000 or 15,000 in the glen. In the phaeton with the Queen were Lady Glenlyon, Lady Canning, and Lady Caroline Cocks, and Prince Albert, Lord Glenlyon, and tome others of the noblemen and gentlemen of the Royal suite were on horseback. After proceeding about four miles down the glen the carriage was stopped, and the gillies and forresters, who had been previously sent out to drive the deer, sent several large herds of forom 50 to 300 up to the crest of the hills, where the noble animals were seen to the greatest advantage, standing out against the clear sky. In the afternoon the Marquis of Breadel bane and suite, in a carriage and four, arrived at the castle, on a visit to Her Majesty. On Friday morning, the Quet n and the Prince were afoot as early as half-past seven, walking in the grounds. The Princess Royal was abroad upan her Highland pony. Her Royal Highness spends the greater part of every day in the open air, and has got as a playmate a fine manly fellow, the young master of Glenlyon, a boy about four years old. He wears the regular Highland costume of kilt and plaid, with a tiny dirk, &c., and the eagle's feather in his bonnet ; and the happy pair of children may be seen at all hours of the day sporting on the lawn and in the grounds around the castle. In the afternoon the royal pair took a drive in the carriage. Orders have been received on board the royal steam yacht Victoria and Albert to have every thing ready for her Majesty's embarkation en Monday, the 30th instant, on which day her Majesty has signified her intention of leaving Scotland on her return voyage. The yacht is still lying in the river Tay, off Dundee, and it is understood that her Majesty will embark at the same place where she landed, and that the royal party will leave Blair-Atholl on Monday morning, immediately after breakfast, and ar rive in Dundee between three or four o'clock the same afternoon, whence they will proceed at once on board the yacht. By this arrangement her 111ajesty will arrive at Woolwich near mid-day on Wednesday. The voyage from the river to Dundee occupied upwards of forty-two hours, arid, calculating that it will take the same time to return, should her Majesty embark at Dundee at four o'clock o❑ Monday, the 30th, the yacht will reach Wool wich on Wednesday, October 2. about ten o'clock. The Princess Royal is very frequently seen riding, or running about the policies, and as the Highland guard. whenever she approaches them, present arms, they are much more frequently called upon to discharge the duty towards her than to either of her royal parents. Her Royal Highness is a stout active girl, and appears to be in the enjoyment of the most perfect health. It has been already mentionel that the Prince had shot three harts on Saturday. Besides shooting these three h - trts, the Prince wounded another. The largest one shot was expected to weigh from 16 to 18 stone—it actually weighed 15 stone. The others weighed 11 and 12 stone respectively. To shoot the deer when running —or, as it is called here, "on the run"—is held to be good sport in the Highlands. It appears that the Prince shot all three "on the run," and he is in immense favour with the Highlanders on account of it. Indeed, he only requires the tartan in order to become quite the man of their hearts. If report speak true, it is not unlikely that the Prince will use the national dress during a part of his stay, as a large supply of tartans has been brought to the Castle for inspection. Her Majesty too delighted all the " gude wives" of Dunkeld by the way in which she took the Princess Royal on her knees at the window there, and tied on her bonnet. The whole demeanour of both the Queen and the Prince, whenever they do appear here in public, is most kind and considerate ; and they invariably acknowledge by bows the salutations of the people, who are beginning to understand the real nature of her Ma jesty's visit, and her desire to be allowed to live as pri vately and be as free from the fatigues of royalty as possible. HER MAJESTY IN A HIGHLAND INN. — On reaching Dunkeld the royal cortege stopped to change horses, and a delay of half an hour took place, when her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Princess Rosa!, alighted, and entered the Duke Arms Inn, kept by Mr. Grant. Here her Majesty and Prince Albert were regaled with Atholl brose, while the young Princess was supplied with milk. The Queen asked for oaten cake, a portion of which she gave to the Princess, and at the same time explained to her the nature of the bread, and its peculiarity as an article of food in Scotland. It appears that th e idea of the royal party alighting at the inn had never been enter tained, and consequently no preparations were made for Glenlyon,L a o p r p d roaFhtdnk Dueld, rode on before, only a few minutes before and communicated her Maj est y ' s intention , and , as may easily be supposed , the whole inn was instantly thrown theirreception. into commotion by the unexpected intelligence. Land lord and servants alike were sadly perplexed. The want of fit preparations for a royal lunch, which it was pre sumed her Majesty and Prince Albert wished to take, was felt as a sore mishap, and every one was running to and fro, eagerly making such preparation as the circum stances of the case would admit. The house itself was not in a condition deemed worthy of royal visiters. The stair happened to be uncarpeted, the rooms were not garnished with decorations such as the eye of a Queen might delight to rest upon, aud, in short, everything was in that state which an inn may be supposed to exhibit when it is in tended not for regular company, but for a host of visitors who might find it a convenient place from which to wit ness a passing pageant. By dint of activity, however, matters were soon arranged. A loyal draper, who lived next door, drew from one of his shelves a roll of plaiding which, stretched upon the stair, served admirably the purposes of a carpet, and by the time the royal cortege drove to the door, everything was in perfect readiness ; while the resolution of her Majesty and the Prince, not to take lunch, but simply to sip a glass of " Atholl brose," saved the landlord from all further perplexity. After her Majesty's departure, the plaiding which covered the stairs was purchased at a very handsome price by a gentleman, who declared that he would not part with it for ten times its value. Lady Augusta Somerset. eldest daughter of the Duke of Beaufort, is about to give her hand to his Excellency Ba. ron Nieumann, Minister Plenipotentiary from the Ccurl of Austria. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EGREMONT AND MAGAZINE REGATTA. On Thursday last the second annual Egremont and Magazine Regatta came off under the most favorable cir cumstances, much to the amusement of the inhabitants t o r f ic E t g o r n e m th o a n t d S e e a o c o f m w be a , n a a n se d y t p h o e l t . h i e l k l h y i - s p o r e p g u a l t a t t a e dd i s is - got up in the usual manner, by subscription ; and we are happy to learn, that it has been very warmly patronised and supported by most, if not all, of the leading gentle men on the opposite side of the Mersey. The committee for the present year consis'ed of Messrs. Jas. Cleworth, William Nutt, Richard Dean, William Roberts, and Leonard Fosbrooke ; and perhaps a more energetic body could not have been selected for the purpose. The exer tions of the committee were most efficiently seconded by Mr. and Mrs. Sharpies, of the Egremont Hotel, Mrs. Dean, of the Black Horse, and Mrs. Roberts, of the Yacht Inn, at the Magazines. The weather, on Thursday, was delightful, and most favorable for aquatic sports. An excellent view of the racing was obtained from the windows of the Egremont H o tel, which presented a goodly array of female loveli ness, and also from the headlands along the shore, Which ti were s ae linedtio n.We b with spectators. sn jo o oi u The racing was excellent, an d a ff or d e d th e u t mos t sa outline of the prizes and the order in which the boats came in : The first Was the MAGAZINE Cup, for sailing boats not exceeding 10 tons; not more than three men in each boat.
