FOREIGN 21,\D COLONIAL. BUENOS AYRES.-Advices from Buenos Ayres of the 29th of June state that the House of Representa'ives had confirmed the law authorising a monthly remittance of 5,000d015. to Messrs. Baring, Brothers, on account of the dividend till some definite arrangement 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 By the same op portunity we learned the May of the departure of Corn modere Purvis for Rio de Janeiro, having been superseded by Captain Talbot, of the Vestal, till Sir Thomas S. Pasley, takes command of the station.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 3d. half an )lour, but before sunset she again sieered-west ward. " 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 vessel. They continued this course 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 had 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. Oo the 31st and the day following it rained three or four hours, and they obtained sufficient water to quench their thirst for the tinAe. 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 :he food they had while in the boat. On the morning of the Gth three ships passed them, but it was supposed the boat was not seen by them. Tney 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." 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 impi ovement in prices to notice. Wool in grease was fetching 7d per lb., and choice flocks is Id to Is 2d perlb.; flour, accord ing to quality, was £9 to £ll per ton ; sperm oil was quoted £22 to £2l per ton.

He told the clergyman that lie could not endure the appearance of any liquid, that his chest was internally burning with a fierce heat; but that if a wheaten straw were got, and one end of it immersed in a vessel of water, he might contrive to drink it through the tube of straw. This was accordingly. ppared but each drop of the liquid he imbibed was received (judging by the heavy agitation of his chest) as it had been burning lead. Excepting the convulsed horror he evinced on the appearance or idea of any liquid, lie continued sensible for a long'time. and told his mother he was aware he would soon die ; that Inc would go violent, and to tie him, lest he should do any injury, but not to bleed him to death, as had been done in the village about twelve months previ ously to another person affected with hydrophobia. At length the madness reached its crisis, black froth and curdled blood foamed from his mouth, and he died in an awful paroxysth of violence and excitement.

SUFFERINGS AT SEA.—The ship Vicksburg, Captain Berry,- which arrived at New York from New Orleans, fell in on the Gth August, in lat. 26 27, long. 87 46, with an open boat containing seven persons, and took them on board. They proved to be the captain and crow of the British schooner Orange, which was lost on the voyage from Jamaica to Matanzas. Their names were as follow :—Alexander M`Donald, master ; William Young, mate ; Edward Cook, Richard Evans, John Brown, Wm. Roscoe, seamen; and Robert Wilkinson, cook. They had been thirteen days in the boat, which was but 14 feet long. When fallen in with they were in a very exhausted state, and three of them bad to be lifted on board. The youngest of them, Wm. Roscoe, was totally insensible ; and although every exertion was made to restore him, he survived but about three hours, and at sunset his body was committed to the deep. During the first night the mate was delirious, but has since, as well as the rest, nearly regain e d hi s health. Their thirst was excessive, and p . eat care was t a k en i n g iving them water at first, and was not u n til t h e t hi r d d a y t h a t it wa s satisfied, at which time each person had taken about three gallons of water. " Captain M'Donald stated that about the 24th of July, at two a.m., when in lat. 'a 45, long 83 4, his schooner was capsized in a sudden squ a ll from ' the eastward. The lanyards of the wra'llet rigzing were immediately cut away, but the ballast having shifted, and the sails and masts b e ing in the water, it was impossible to right the vessel. Fortunately, when she capsized, the jolly boat, being in the bottom of the long boat, turned over, and all hands succeeded in getting into it, and got clear of the vessel, which almost at the same moment disappear e d. They weed then left to the mercy of the waves, without provisions or water, or even an oar. Part o the f one of the and boat as masts was made use of to steer with, kept before the wind till daylight. " During the day the linings and footboards were taken off and converted into a mast, on which was placed the captain's shirt for a sail, and the boat was steered in a southerly direction, in the hope of falling in with land. In the afternoon a barque was seen to the westward, steering towards them, and, when about two miles oft hove to fur a short time, then hauled southerly for about IRELAND. - MEETING OF THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The usual weekly meeting of the Repeal Association took plaCe on Monday in the Conciliation Hall, which was crowded to excess in every part. Shortly before one o'clock, Mr. O'Connell entered the Hall, and was received with long-continued cheering and waving of handkerchiefs. He was accompanied by W. S. O'Brien, M.P., Henry Grattan, M.P., Nicholas Maher, M.P., John O'Connell, M.P., &c . . When the noise subsided, Mr. O'Connell moved the Hon ? , Mr. Hutchinson in the chair. . After Mr. Hutchinion's address, the handing in of sub scriptions was proceeded with, and the rent for the week was £7OO. - Mr. O'Connell handed in £25 from Liver pool, Mr.' 'NV...S..

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 CHIMCH.—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 bands, 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." phis Society, through the Bishops and Clergy of Ireland applied to the Government for a grant of public money, AND IT 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 alt.—Churchman's Newspaper.

The intertuption 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 him to write them, but the editor says they were such as these:—" Bad luck to the bloody Orangemen—by G—, hut 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 too. 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 beard, 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 atop:via office, will undertake to . deliver the city fr.im the ruffianism which has usurped the place of authority and law ? THE FEAST OF THE MARTYRS.—At this gathering on Thursday last, in Dublin, there were present one lay bold, 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 bad 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 wilt 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 action—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 s;gnalise 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 rite parliament, at the commencement of the next session, w t'a the united and combined voice of Ireland embodied in our petitions." " What a falling off is here, my coun trynien." 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 ir..ef 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. THE LiVgiiiiOOL STANDARD. CLERICAL NE WN. PREFERMENTS AND APPOINTMENTS. —Rev.

DURHAM CATHEDRAL — The prebandaries of this cathedral have, in the course of the last twelve 'years, given no less a sum than £lOO,OOO towards the foundation of the Durham University, and £120,000 towards .aug meriting the poorer livings in the diocese.—l This fact ought to be universally known and remembered.; but we wonder how much the prebends of this establishment will be able to give when their salaries are reduced to the scale fixed by our church reformers. They will then have suffi cient for a respectable maintenance, but universities will I Es main in statu quo, and poor livings continue poor ] PUBLIC ADMISSION OF A ROMISH CONVERT INTO THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.—An interesting service took place in the new chaptl, at Ellerker, parish of Branting ham, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, on Thursday, the sth instant, in the admission of a person professing al legiance to the Bishop of Rome, into communion with the Church of England. The convert was a young man —Mr. Bohann:who was attached to a party conducting the government ordnance survey of the county of York. Be had been for some time in a course of discipline and instruction, under the care of the Rev. G. F. Townsend, Vicar of Brantingham ; 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 purc, - ,ased 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 sieves 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 cot,jecture as to what the next bh;w 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 uponloose 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 3a feet from the surface. On tie 2d 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:tirs, 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 centre entrance to the church, and lined the few yards leading to the royal carriage. But so perfect was the de corum observed by the congregation, that there was no necessity even for this slender escort. The Queen, lean ing on Prince Albert, made her way to the carriage through the wet gravel, affording a good opportunity to some gallant Highlander to imitate Sir Walter Raleigh, bad the day and the occasion been less solemn. On Monday Prince Albert went out shooting, and her Majesty occupied the early part of the day in driving and walking about the grounds. At three o'clock the Prince drove her Majesty in the pony phaeton and four to see the fells of Bruar. Her Majesty was accompanied by Lord G!enlyon 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 ya rds 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 Bruer 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 np 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 preceptrrss, 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, tract of moorland about two mil s above the falls of Bruar, to the grouse shooting, where in the course of lass than an hone, 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 Mejestv was driven by Prince Albert in the pony phaeton t 3 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 teken 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, end which, though comparatively retiring, sloping higher up the val ley, here rise in precipitous. grandeur, anti even appear to overtop or interlace each other from side to side, leaving a narrow galley thrcugh the Garry bracla and struggles through the deep deep below. The rocky sides of these hills are feathered to the very top with t,he larch, beech, oak, &C., forming a scene wl top with tite Larch, beech, oak, &c., foruning a scene which is pethaps un equalled in Scotland for the combination of the wild, the magnificent, and the picturesque. The ro.)al 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 dificulty to permit two per sons to page, 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 anysymptom 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 Trammel here finds its way through a succession of rocks, which stem 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, forra 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 j sty sat down, and where the print of her foot, visibly left on the soft ground, is already regarded by the inhabi tants with almost superstitious admiration, the party re turned to the carriages, and drove back through the Pass, 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 spat 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 ' 1 " jesty and Prince. Albert, attended only by a sr '‘". Lord Glenyon's as a guide, crossed.the Gar , -.Taut of of Invervack. and proceeded on horseh at thn ford Tulloeh, a height on the opposite -• to the hill of Castle, and immediately o , - :cue of the road from the on the summit, her Mr' .;:rtvartging the Inn. Arrived and walked for sr ,eity and Prince Albert dismounted, a view of St• ..,me time along the ridge, commanding and G 1 —catligarry, as far as the Pass, on the one side, ii- ' -en Mende, on the other. They then remounted ponies, and at half-past eleven returned from the tYli. 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 e'hawl, 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 some others of the noblemen and gentlemen of the Loyal 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 forum 50 to 300 up to the crest of the bills, where the noble animals were seen to the greatest advantage, standing out against the clear sky. In the afternoon the Marquis of Breadsl bane and suite, in a carriage and four, arrived at the castle, on a visit to Her Majesty. On Friday morning, the Queen and the Prince were afoot as early as half-past seven, walking in the grounds. The Princess Royal was abroad upon tier 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 Glenlyou, 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 on 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 afterbreakfast, 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 Majesty will arrive at Woolwich near mid-day on Wednesday. The voyage from the river to Dundee occupied upwards of forty-two hours, and, calculating that it will take the same time to return, should her Majesty embark at Dundee at four o'clock on 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 ditty 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 htatch. It has been already mentioned that the Prince had shot three harts on Saturday. Besides shooting these three huts, 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 tho 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 Royal, 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 Scot:and. It appears that the idea of the royal party alighting at the inn had never been enter tained, and consequently no preparations were made for their reception. Lord Glenlyon , only a few minutes before the carriages approached Dunkeld, rod e on b e f ore , and communicated her Majesty's intention, and, as may easily be supposed, the whole inn was instantly thrown 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 visitors. The stair happened to be uncarpeted, the rooms were not garnished with decorations such as the eyo of a Queen might delight to rest upon, and, 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 lur Majesty and the Prince, not to take lunch, hut simply to sip a glass of " Athol' 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 431 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 unde r the most favorable cir cumstances, much to the amusem ent of the inhabitants of Egremont, Seacombe, and the thickly-populated dis trict on that side of Wallasey Pool. This regatta 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 Robert s , and Leonard Fosbrooke ; and p erhaps a more ener g etic b ody could not have been selected for the purpose. The exer tions of the committe e were most efficientl y seconded by An excellent v i ew o f th e a Mr. and Mrs. Sharples, of the Egremont Hot e l, Mrs. Dean, of the Bla ck Horse, and Mrs. Robe rts , of the Yacht Inn, at the M a g azines. Then w obtained r b e tra, aquatic n o end from Thursday, t sports. he windows o f th e EgreEgremont was delightf u l, an d mos t favorable Hotel, which presented a goodly array of female loveli ness, and also from the headlands along the shore, which w ere lined with spectators. The racing was excellent, and afforded the utmost sa tisfaction. We subjoin an outd rh. ~. of t he prizes and the order in which the boats came in : The first was the MAGAZINE Cur, for sailing boats not - exceeding 10 tons ; . not mor e than three men in each boat.

Mr. Forshaw's Eleanor Mr. Cleworth's .. 2 Mr: Cleworth's boat took the lead, and kept it round the buoy off Egremont ; but in coming up to the starting place, got too near in shore, lost the breeze, could not catch it again, and had no chance after.

The boats started at the Magazines. kes to the right , hand of the buoys, went round a boat, moored off Egre mont, and returned to the starting place. IDONCASTER RACES.

The gross receipts of the half-year from trafic amount to £13,856. AMERICAN RAILWAYS.—An extraordinary perform ance, equal to the greatest railway achievements of Great Britain, is recorded in the American papers. The go vernment express, which left Boston for New York with letters, mails, and passengers, arriving in the Acadia from England, on the 18th ult., were conveyed the dis tance of 238 miles in six hours by railway I THE RAILWAY TO THE LAKES—PROGRESS OF THE ATMOSPHERIC.—The Windermere and Kendal line is being surveyed with a view to the application of the atmos pheric principle of traction by water power. With such avidity were the shares of this short but excellent line sought after, that although there were only 5,000 to he 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. PROJECTED BRANCH RAILWAY FROM THE GRAND JUNCTION LINE AT NIADELEY TO THE POTTERIES. — We understand that circulars have been sent to influential persons in the Potteries, inviting them to attend a meet— ing, before which proposals for the formation of this rail way by the Grand Junction Company will be laid. 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 the 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 mitted 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 acclerated 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 Majors of Kilkenny and Waterford, and several o'her influential gentlemen connected with the south-eastern counties, when it was resolved, not merely to bring before the public the Limerick and Waterford line, but also a junction line between the Limerick and Waterford railway and Kilkenny, either from Clonmel or Carrick. Thus the gentry of Kilkenny will have 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- ~_~
