STANB 16, Lord-street. SOHO-STREET RAGGED SCHOOLS.—A tea-party, for the benefit of these schools, was held in the Clare-street Rooms, yesterday evening. About 200 persons were present, and all appeared highly delighted. SWEDEN AND NORWAY.—The preliminaries of a .postal convention were signed on Saturday afternoon at the Foreign-office, between Great Britain on the one hand, and Sweden and Norway on the other, by which the intercourse between the respective countries will be greatly facilitated, and all the commercial, as well as political, relations very much improved. Hitherto, the rates of postage between th , s country and the domini ons of the King of Sweden were on a most expensive and exaggerated scale. By the newly proposed arrange. ments, the rates of postage will be very considerably re duced, and the facilities of intercommunication increased. The above arrangement confers important benefits upon the trade between the two countries. •The details, how ever, will not be made public until the ratifications shall be exchanged. To Lord Clanricarde, the Postmaster- General, is due the chief merit of bringing about this most desirable reformation. His Lordship attended at the Foreign-office on Saturday afternoon, to sign, in the presence of Lord Palmerston, with Baron Rehausen, the Swedish Minister, the preliminaries of the convention agreed upon. EXECUTION.—On Saturday morning Patrick Forbes was executed for the murder of his wife. Immediately on reaching the platform the prisoner turned from the gaze of the public, who received him with execrations, and sank on his knees; the two priests knelt also, and the prayers appropriate to such occasions were repeated ; after which the prisoner was delivered to the hangman. On his rising, which he did with the assistance of the turnkeys, the pri-st said to him, " Now step on like a man." He appeared, however, unwilling or incapable of doing so, and he had to be pushed and lifted on to the drop, where he stood, with the assistance of the turn keys, trembling and repeating, " Mercy, Jesus," while the hangman drew the cap over his face, adjusted the rope, and attached the strap to both ancles. Up to this time the prisoner had grasped a handkerchief in one hand, but now he gave it to the turnkey. The necessary preli minaries having been adjusted, the hangman descended to the apparatus below, the signal was given, the drop fell, and the wretched man was launched into eternity, utter- ing with extraordinary rapidity, and in a subdued tone, "Mercy, Jesus." He was a strongly-made, heavy man, and he died almost without a struggle. There was a shout of execration when the prisoner fell, and when his body almost disappeared behind the scaffolding there was a loud cry of "Pull him up," a request which was speedily complied with. The rope appeared to be too slack, but the culprit did not suffer any additional agon3 on that 'ount although it created a little excitement in the After hanging the usual time the body was it down and buried within the precincts of the prison. ourse of the preceding day the unhappy man ex pressed a desire to see Mr. Alderman Dunn, one of the visiting magistrates, who has throughout evinced a deep interest in the case. Mr. Dunn acceded to his wishes, and at that interview the prisoner made a statement, which was reduced to writing in the presence of the go vernor of the gaol. The following is the only part relating to the crime of which he has been convicted : " I loved my dear wife sincerely, and on the 22d of March I had no intention to do her any injury whatever. On that night I was very drunk, and am not conscious to myself of having done anything to cause the death of my 'be deed was not done ' other person, I am willing to take the blame of it upoi myself. lam satisfied I had a fair trial before my judg and the bmit willingly to the laws of r country." Soon after the culprit was turned off, the crowd, which behaved with decency throughout, began quietly to disappear. CAUSE OF WET WEATHER.—It is not likely that you should recollect a poor, harmless, honest old man, who used to deliver the letters when you were at• Keswick ; Joseph Littledale is his name, and, if you remember him, it will be by a chronic, husky cough, which generally announced his approach. Poor Littledale has this day explained the cause of our late rains, which have prevailed for the last five weeks, by a theory which will probably be as new to you as it is to me. " I have observed," he ` that, when the moon is turned upward, we have !ether after it ; but if it is turned down, then we have a wet season it is turned down, it holds no water, like a basin, you d then down it all comes." There, Grosvenor, hile before the march of intellect shall which I find, upon it will be y as or! nat as this Inquiry, to be the popular opinion here.—Life of Southey. TOPOGRAPHY AND TEMPERANCE.—" The fact is, sir, public-houses are the great landmarks of the country. Whether you are benighted in a Northumberland moor, lost in a Devonshire lane (the one thing in nature which it is well known has no end) ; whether you are cast away in a river ; left without a clue on Salisbury Plain ; or re duced to a state of topographical despair in a Warwick shire wood; the first person you meet, be it lie or she, gentle or simple, old or young, a genius or idiot—will assuredly convince you that the only rmn•al means of di- recting you are the names and signs of places of public . entertainment. 'Go on straight till you come to the Green Lion, then turn to the left close to the Goat and Compasses, and after you have passed the Plough, bear off to the right; and, opposite the Jolly Gardeners, you will see a lane : go down that lane till you have to cross a brook by the side of the Bottle and Bagpipes, and when you have got to the Three Whistles and Cockchafer fur ther down, get over a stile next to t key-cock, take the first to the left he Tinker anc and that's it.' were the directions by which I found my old friend, Groggles, last Monday. Without the signs I have men tioned I never should have found Groggles to this day. Unless, sir, they wish the topography of our native land to be utterly confused, and desire to make voluntary locomotion impossible (I call railways compulsory travel ling, for you must go where they choose to take you), I do entreat of them to leave us their signs, whatever they do with the inns. Why not move the former to stand sponsors to their new-fangled watering-places ? Take the Puncheon of Rum from what used to be the post ing-house (before stem blew post-horses off the road,) and stick it on the parish pump. Let wayside wells be ornamented with effigies of Topers' Heads ; transfer the Barrel of Beer from the village inn to the village foun tain, and the Jolly Full Bottle from the alehouse to the conduit. Then, when a man comes to the picture of three drunken soldiers, and the inscription The Rendez vous,' lie will know it means a reservoir, or regular meet ing of the waters. "The Punch-bowl,' in golden letters, will indicate a water-trough ; the Black Jack' would give a significant licence for water to be drunk on the premises; and the Sir John Barleycorn' would indicate that a good supply of the ale of our first parent is not far off."—Dickens's Household Words. ADDISON AND THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—It is curious to observe how often that which is regarded as fantastical and chimerical in one age, acquires the cha racter of cold reality in another: "Strada, in one of his prolusions," says Addison, "gives an account of a &ii merical correspondence between two friends by the help of a certain loadatone, which had such a virtue in it, that if touched by two several needles, when one of these needles so touched began to move, the other, though at ever so greit a distance, moved at the same time and in the same manner. He tells us that two friends, being each of them possessed of these needles, made a kind of dial-plate, inscribing it with twenty-four 'Letters ' in the same manner:to the hours of the day aro marked upon the ordinary dial-plate. They then fixed one of the needles on each of these plates in such a manner that it could move round without impediment, so as to .point to any one of the twenty. four letters. Upon their separat ing from one another into distant countries, they agreed to withdraw themselves punctually into their closets at a certain hour of the day, and to converse with one another by this their invention. Accordingly, when they were some hundred miles asunder, each of thetn shut himself up in his closet at the time appointed, and immediately cast his eye upon the dial-plate. If he had a mind to write anything to his friend, he directed his needle to every letter that formed the words that he had occasion for, making a little pause at the end of every word or sentence, to avoid confusion. The friend, in the mean while, saw his own sympathetic needle moving of itself to every letter which that of his correspondent pointed at. By this means, they talked together across a whole con tinent, and conveyed their thoughts to one another in an instant over cities or mountains, seas or deserts. If M. Scudery, or any other writer of romance (continues Addison), had introduced a necromancer, who is generally in the train of a knight-errant, making a present to two lovers of a couple of those above-mentioned needles, the reader would not have been a little pleased to have seen them corresponding with one another when they were guarded by spies and watches, or separated by castles and adventures. In the meanwhile, if ever this invention should be revived or put in practice, I would propose that on the lover's dial-plate, there should be written, not only the twenty-four letters, but several entire words, which have always a place in passionate epistles —as flames darts, die, language, absence, Cupid, hearts, eyes, hang. drown, and the like. This would very much abridge the lover's pains in this way of writing a letter, as it would enable him to express the most useful and significant words with a single turn of the needle." Addison wrote this in 1711. Had he lived a hundred and forty years later, he would have seen not only the sympathetic needles of Strada, but even the alphabetic dial literally realised. —Dublin Univireily Magazine.

THE LIVERPOSI STANDARD. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA. The British and North American royal mail steam-ship Canada, Captain Harrison, which left New York on the 14th instant, and Halifax on the 16th instant, arrived in the river yesterday morning. She has brought 102 pas sengers, and New York telegraphic advices to the 16th instant. She had on board £13,000 in specie for British account; and 230,000 dollars for Havre on French account. There was a fair inquiry for sterling bills for the steamer, the rates of which had been firm ; most of the transactions were at 114, with some small sales at Mt. In domestic exchanges there was little doing. There was a steady growing demand for money in New York. The boundary line of Texas was the great subject occu pying the attention of the country. Different lines have been proposed, and each attacked and defended with great vigour. A great deal of debate has taken place in the Senate in regard to the geographical limits of the various divisions of the disputed territory, but Mr. Pearce's bill was eventually passed. Mr. Benton pro posed to make the meridian of 162 the western boundary of Texas, beginning at the Del Norto just below the mouth of the Puerco, and about 300 lines in a straight line below El Paso. An amendment to this effect was defeated in the Senate by a great majority. The Presi dent had issued a special message on the subject. By Mr. Pearce's bill the boundary of Texas is fixed as follows : Beginning at the insurrection of the one hundredth degree west longitude with 30 degrees 36 north • proceedin g thence, due west, to 103 degrees west longitude, thence, due south, to 32 degrees north latitude, and thence, in a straight line to El Paso, or south of it, so as to include the settlement of El Zario, as an equivalent for depriving her of the por tion of New Mexico, to which she had claim, whether justly or not, is not necessary to inquire. Texas is to re. ceive ten millions of dollars in United States stock—five millions of which are not to be issued until the claims against her, growing out of the act of annexation to the United States, shall be satisfied. Mr. Henry Clay had visited New York and met with an enthusiastic reception. Garibaldi also was still honoured in the city. The California Bill has passed the Senate after a spirited debate, by a majority of 34 to 18. A manufactory of linen thread has just been started at Lansingburgh, capable of producing 100,000 pounds an nually. The manufactured article is strong and beautiful. This is the first and only establishment of the kind in the United States. CONDITION OF THE MARKET FOR FOREIGN DRY GOODS.—The largely-increased quantity of British-manu factured cloths, which have of late proceeded for sale to the American market, renders a glance at its condition and prospects especially interestin We have therefore thought it desire it the present moment. .blo to cull the most !ct in the .2Veic important facts from an article on t York Courier of the latest date. The writer notes a gene ral languor in the market during the week, especially in English and French goods, as compared with the business of the preceding four weeks. This is accounted for by the western and south-western jobbers having made their early purchases, whilst the northern buyers had not yet come into the market. The stock on hand in the country, he says, is light. " Goods will be wanted, and the people in due time will supply themselves." A lcrge demand, however, is not anticipated. The imports had fallen off during the week, from which it was concluded that prices i❑ Europe were better than in America. The novelties were mostly out of the market, and, from being pressed, had been sold at a less profit than might have been ob tained. With the exception of a demand for blankets, duffils, &c., the trade in staple articles was dull. The writer concludes his remarks upon the staple trade as fol lows :—" So far as regards foreign goods of a staple na ture, the demand will come ; the jobbers will not supply themselves until the buyers from the country make their appearance; by deferring their purchases, they gain time, and hope to find a reduction in the price; as things are at present, no second orders will go abroad, and the stock here is not more than equal to the wants of the country, with a firm and rising market abroad, and a healthy state of affairs throughout our country generally, we may ex pect a fair and profitable termination to the present sea son." The report with respect to printed goods is very unfavourable. Notwithstanding the small stock on hand, and their adaptation to the taste of the markets, it is said that "they hardly bring the cost of importation. The quantity sold, compared with domestic prints, is a mere bagatelle." And again, "unless the tariff should be re duced, the Americans will have the print trade to them selves." The importations of ginghams were small, and the light stocks were firmly held by importers at a profit. Fancy stuff goods were in active demand, and entirely out A similar dullness prevailed in the markets for American manufactured goods; but a large and growing business as looked for as th Galveston dates ke season advanced. of the 7th report )ntinued Indian I Ford's camp at San xis° Davis' depredations; 200 attack( Antonio Diego, and took several horses Rancho, and captured a train of mule afterward attacked a party of " Mustangers," killed seven, and wounded nine men.

The remaining three were to be sentenced to eight yeors in the chain gang. This is the finale of the celebrated piratical inva vasion of Cuba, by Lopez and his companions. CALIFORNIA. — According to the last mail, very little has transpired at San Francisco since the previous advices worthy of special notice. The feature most to be noted is the energy with which improvements are pushed ahead in all parts of the burnt district. Many business houses are already in operation, and many more are ready to be occupied in a few days. The general stagnation of busi siness resulting from the fire is fast giving place to a more cheering condition. But little is doing in the mines: The waters in the rivers and large gulches are yet too high, and in the small ravines too little, for successful operations. This difficulty will soon be remedied, as the waters- are falling rapidly. With the exception of a number of frightful murders committed in the southern mines, we hear of but very little disturbance throughout the whole mining region. Immigration is pouring into Ile coun 'rancisco as rapic The people are anxiously awaiting the final action of Congress upon the question of their reception. Coal has been found in California, near San Francisco. It burns frcely, and is said to crop from the earth in very considerable quantities. On the 10th instant his excellency the Governor-General porogued the Canadian Parliament. The Legislative Coun cil Chambers were crowded. The Buffalo visiters were present. His Excellency, in the Queen's name, assented to 107 bills, among which were. an Act for the transfer and management of the Provincial Postoffice; acts to equalise assessments ; to establish free banking ; to im pose 20 per cent. on foreign reprints of English copy wrights ; incorporating a company for the settlement and moral improvement of the coloured population ; to make the selection of jurists by ballot ; muni cipalities power to issue or withhold tavern licenses. In his speech, his Excellency said he would carry the Post•ofiice lew into effect without unnecessary delay. He expressed satisfaction at the addresses proposed by either House, expressing loyalty to the Throne, and attachment to the institutions of the Province ; and expressed confi dence that the sentiments of the address are those of the great body of the people. He congratulates Parliament on the improvement of the revenue. He avowed peat satisfaction with his visit to the Welland Canal, and gra tification at the courtesy of the citizens of Buffalo on that occasion. He recommends the members, when they return home, to promote measures of practical utility. The wheat harvest in the United States is over, and the crop is stated to surpass the most sanguine expectations of the farmers, both in quality and yield. The second great staple corn ( maize) is growing luxuriantly through out the States, and the following extract from the De troit Advertiser will answer for other districts as well as their own :-- ."The harvests are over—the prospects of Michigan for a full treasury from her late golden fields, is placed beyond a chance or peradventure. The mere surplus wheat from this state will, in the opinion of experienced farmers and millers, . double that of ar y preceding year. This may seem extravagant; but not a few men whose judgment is deemed valuable express that opinion. The quality of the berry is, in general, excellent, and the yield of flour will be also large in proportion. Corn has recuperated wonderfully within thirty days, and now bids fair to yield handsomely. The fears which were produced by the drought of May and the early part of June have thus been happily disSipated." TRAGEDY IN TEXAS.—A shocking affair recently took place in Texas. A Mr. Wiley, living upon the Sabine, near Van Zandt, had separated from his wife. It appears that he afterwards visited her at a house in the neigh bourhood, where she was residing, and proposed a division of the property, to which she consented. He then took her behind him, on his horse, and proceeded to their former house, which they reached upon apparently friendly terms. During the division of the property, lie requested her to walk out in the yard with him. As soon ac they left the house, he shot her bead with a pistol, and mounted his horse to escape. A number of citizens fol lowed and overtook him in Rusk county, and killed him. —N. 0, Picayune. PER TELEGRAPH TO HALIFAX. NEW Yotoc, 16th Aug., 1859.

'This course of our market, with the favourable advices received from Liverpc:ol, was not to have been anticipated, and although the result, doubtless, of a change in public opinion as to the prospects of the growing crop, we do not think authorised by any improvement in its condition. From Georgia and South Carolina, with the exception of the Pedee district, we are ad vised that the plant has run to stalk, end is shedding its forms. From Florida, Alabama, and Texas, the accounts, although conflicting, are on the whole less favourable than they were ten days since, while from Louisiana and Mississippi we hear com • plaints of the boll worm. The telegraphic advices of the 10th from Mobile and New Orleans on the other hand, state, in ge neral terms, that the weather is as fine as could be desired. Tay those who do not compare with previous seasons, the advices from each of the cotton districts of the South, theseaccounts of good weather and improving appearance of the crop are viewed, without reference to their comparative import. as implying the crop has recovered from the effectsof a late and disastrous plant ing season. In August, 1849, the adviccs from the South relative to the growing crop (and we would advise all interested to refer to their correinonaelice of that period) were in all respects, but one, the counter-part of these now received. Estimates rose with the continuance of seasonable weather, and yet with the finest fall ever experienced, the yield fell short of pe received opinion:, three to four hundred thousand bales point of difference referred to as existing between the two sea sons is the universally acknowledged lateness of the present growing crop, later by two to four weeks than that of last year which was the latest ever before known.

VAN DIEMAN'S LAND. — Accounts from Hobart Town and Launceston to the 20th a Lpril, mention the arrival of the convict ship Neptune, with the exiles rejected by the Cape, at Hobart Town, to the great disgust of the colonists, who resolved to make a demonstration against convict importation. Mr. Smith O'Brien's health was unfavourable, and his medical attendant having suggested a change, he was to be removed from Maria Island to Port Arthur. _ . . . From China there is a very interesting report, to the effect that the emperor is about formally to tolerate Christianity in his dominions. It is known that there are, as it is, numerous native Christians in the interior of China, who are persecuted or allowed according to the fancy of the Mandarins. There was a story current in the Chinese war of a visitor to one of our war steamers sending up his card to the captain as bishop of some place in the interior, who turned out to be an Italian sent out by the Propaganda, and stated that he had a numerous flock. GERMAN OUTR A GES ON AMERICAN CITIZENS.—We hays reason to believe that some documents have been transmitted to the department of state, at Washington, from certain abused citizens of the United States, now at Hamburgh, and in other parts of Germany, which will require speedy and decisive action. A certain naturalised citizen of this country, owning property in Germany, has recently been seized, made u conscript, and his estates have been confiscated. This is one of several acts of similar high-handed dealing. The circumstances attend ing the arrest were very severe, and well calculated to arouse a spirit of indignation against an act at once so lawless and so much in defiance of the honour and dignity of the United States. We select it as one of a number, each of which is sufficient to demand the immediate inter ference of the government.—New York Herald. DEATH OF A FAIR CELEBRITY.—The death of Ma dame Marliani has thrown a gloom over many of our first circles, diplomatic, scientific, literary, and fashion able. This kdy, who was the wife of Marliani, the Spanish consul, had taken the lead for many years in Paris society. The house: which she had been clever enough to insist upon having corsidered as neutral ground had become the rendezvous of the leading celebrities of every party and every class. This was the only sqlon in Paris in which George Sand ever condescended to honour with his presence ; and Madame Marliani herself the only intimate female friend which that writer ever pos sessed. Her loss will be severely felt by the musical world, of which she was the most liberal and enlightened leader. Most of the renowned talents of our day have owed their first presentation to the public to the kind patronage of Madame Marliani ; while her diplomatic in fluence was so great at one time as to induce a suspicion and reproach to be thrown upon the part she played in the negociation of the Spanish marriages.—Paris corre spondence of the Atlas. TRAGEDIES IN ITALY.—A letter from Naples, dated the 15th inst., says—" Two tragical events have given rise to much wonder ; here they are as they happened : A very lovely girl of seventeen threw herself from one of the windows of the principal hotel at La Case, where she had been sent for change of air. Her parents, in conse quence of an attachment she had formed for a youth not approved by them, hed forced her to enter a nunnery and to take the veil. Soon afterwards her father died, and, knowing that her mother would not have opposed her wishes, in despair at having yielded, and thus deprived herself of the power of marrying her lover, she determined upon the fatal deed. Fortunately, there are now some hopes of her recovery, and her friends are trying to obtain a dispensation of her vows, under the plea that she was not of age to take them. The other case is that of a German gentleman who was found dead in tne sea, a few yards above Amalfi. He had been staving at the Hotel des Capucines, and was found drowned, without his coat, early in the morning. It is strongly suspected that he was murdered by some persons of the hotel. Several persons have been arrested, and the house shut up." • Indian Corn, 61 to 63, for mixed ; Do.. Yellow, 64 to 65. THE LATE MR. JAMES SCOTT WALKER. Genessee White Wheat at SI 28c. to 41 32c.

HERN ELOQUENCE MURDER.—On Saturday morning 11;st, a murderous assault was made upon Mr. Mason, a medical man at Gatehouse of Fleet, in Kirkcud brightshire, by his own wife, a converted Jetvess, whom he had brought over from Constantinople and married, after having had her baptized in the Free Church at Maxwelltown. About seven o'clocir, when Dr. Mason was dressing, his wife suddenly jumped out of bed and attacked him in the most furious manner with some sharp instrument, with which she inflicted several severe wounds. He succeeded in rushing from the room, but fell down exhausted from the loss of blood. An alarm was immedia!ely given, and aid afforded to the wounded man SHOCKING ATTE PT AT On entering the room where the assault had been committed, Mrs. Mason was found sitting quietly in an apartment filled with smoke proceeding from the bed, which she had set on fire.

PAUPER ELOPEMENT TO GRETNA GLEEN.—A few days ago, Felix Lough, late of London, widower, who bad a family of three children, and now an inmate of Penrith union workhouse, eloped to Gretna Green with. Mary Jackson, widow, who has a family of four children and also an inmate of the same workhouse. A few days previ,as to the elopement the parties gave notice to Mr. Slee, the master of the workhouse, that they intended to leave the workhouse, and accordingly did so. How they raised the wind is not known, but the fact is that they set off on foot upwards of 30 miles to Gretna ; and on ar riving there found they had little or no cash to pay the officiating priest, who asked a sum 20 times more in amount than what they were possessed of, and persisted that he would not marry them for a farthing less. How ever, Felix Laugh, in a most melancholy strain, explained that his wife was dead, that Mary Jackson's hus band was also dead, that they were both paupers belong ing to Penrith Union Workhouse, and becoming quite convulsed, and letting flow a flood of tears over his wrinkled cheeks, in the most affecting manner exclaimed —" For goodness sake do marry us, for Mary Jackson was the first sweetheart that I ever had, aye, long before I was married to any first poor wife, but then she would not have me; now she has consented to be my wife. 0! do marry us." " Yes, yes, it is all true, do wed us," said Mary Jackson. The priest was moved with com passion ; he married them. Soon afterwards they sot off on their return to Penrith on foot, and on their arrival there they were foot sore and completely dished up, and not having a place where to lay their heads, they e'en appLed to Mr. Armstrong, the re.i,ving officer, for an order into the workhouse again, who, according to the present state of the poor-law, was obliged to give them en order, and now the new marrie , ' conple, in accordance with the same law, are spending their honey-moon in the workhouse, apart from each other.—Carlisle Patriot. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO BELGIUM..--Her Majesty and Prince Albert were prevented from sailing on Tuesday, according to previous arrangement, by the continued vio lence of the weather, but they embarked on board the royal yacht at half-past five on Wednesday afternoon. The squadron consisted of four steamers, on the second of which was the first Lord of the Admiralty. At about five o'clock on Thursday morning it passed Dover, and was saluted from the battery. At Ostend, preparations of an unostentatious nature had been made for the reception of King Leopold, who arrived with his suite at eleven o'clock on Tuesday night. On Friday morning, shortly after nine, King Leopold and his aides-de-camp „came down to the quay, and were conveyed on board by a guard of honour. After a short stay he returned with the Queen, Prince Albert, the royal children, and the members of the suite: her Majesty, previous to leaving the yacht, inquiring, as if anxious to spend as long a time as possible with her royal relative, what was the latest hour for the yacht sail ing. The ruyal party then drove to the palace in the Long-street, and soon afterwards the Queen, accompanied by his Majesty and Prince Albert, set out for a promenade on the Sea-walls. The Digue was crowded with specta tors, who followed the royal party and occasionally pressed upon them to an inconvenient extent. The utmost re spect was, however, manifested throughout, and the Queen did not seem to be at all annoyed by the pressu re . About half-past eleven they returned to the palace, where a dejeuner had been provided, by order of his Majesty. About half-past twelve o'clock the consulate body took their place in the square ; and, very shortly after the royal lit salutations,tLl e e o s pq Leopold, d nnidlseertth;sfaa sail icosyft for rland England.; childrenland suite . ; embarked,a t s o , lor ii t f l t y e r af t tn h ed e r carriage drove up, containi ng th e Q ueen, P r i nce Alb ert, a u t K h s i e u n a g l five o'clock the s qua d ron was seen from Dover bearing down from the Downs in a line with the South Sand Light, and the royal yachts hauled in under the Refuge Harbour works, the guns of the western heights and the castle saluting, and the troops on the top of the cliff firing feu de joies. At eight o'clock, after a stay of nearly two hours, during which time her Majesty was earnestly en gaged in inquiring into the character of the works and reviewing the lines, &c., the Victoria and Albert steamed out of the bay and proceeded away to the westward ; and the Queen and Prince Albert, on Saturday morning, about half-past eight, landed at Osborne-pier and proceeded to Osborne.

A 'THRILLING INCIDENT.—On Saturday last, a middle aged man, living on Navy Island, started in a small canoe,. with his son, a lad of some twelve years old, for Chip pewa. The distance is short, less than a mile, we should say, and although the current of the river is quite rapid, the trip is not attended with any hazird, if the boat is managed with ordinary skill. But in this case the man. was very drunk, and only embarrassed the be boat drifted below the creek before the boy proach the shore. Seeing the impossibility o the Canada shore the boy turned her towards Goat Island, paddling with surprising strength terity, his father barely steering, without renders. any efficient aid. The boat was swept down with sure. and velocity, o e c fna i t rs y h , aec b rw u oa t sss t edraw b n o c y iannt s ao t d r ta u h g ec g h l r e aa d pnind m ytleshal o a. s ch(abi t resooc p sahot e stano r di s icteav_d propelleder directi perseveringly, g her e y r , ihneg course between the middle and inside Sister, th e littl e e islands lying outside of G oat Island, ne ar the upper end.

Aware of the imminent peril, as the boat was on the verge of the small precipice, the lad sprang into the water drawing his father after him, and maintaining an unright position with great difficulty, upheld his helpless parent until they were rescued by the people from the village at the Falls who had collected in large numbers on the shore opposite to the point where the hoat was abandoned. The boat was dashed to pieces in passing down the rapids, and the Cree -1 merits were carried over the Falls before the man an( hi t NU were taken to the land.—BuffalojExprettr. brace of grouse 3 brace Sir R.
