The intelli gence derived from either of these sources may be considered little more than worthless, except that , in the absence of any great boasting of TOO J. NODDER HATTER, Begs respectfully to inform the Nobility and Gentry of Liver pool that his NEW STYLES for the Season are NOW READY for Inspection we may, the success which bas attended the reactionary cause, infer that O'DoNNILL has not subdued the liberalism of the Spanish Peninsula as quickly as he anticipated. Saragossa had not bent to his tyrannical yoke on the 29th. The troops and National Guards, under. General FALCON, were throwing up defences and preparing for a vigorous resistance when we last heard from the city itself, and we have every reason to believe that the reported concession of five days time for reflection, and adding to the strength of the place, is a pure fabrication. It is not at all likely that one moment would have been given to a besieged town, to discuss the propriety of surrending to a superior force. O'DONNELL and his partisans have not shown any great regard for the lives of their opponents, and that they should do so now, simply because the scene of revolt is transferred from Madrid to Saragossa, appears to be perfectly ridiculous. It may, therefore, be found that Saragossa has successfully resisted the O'DONNELL soldiery, and that it will take more troops than the reactionists thought, to bring the Saragossans to obedience. But why does the Court favourite remain silent so long? Has he discovered that despotism has no supporters in Spain, beyond a corruptible and basely corrupt army ? that the Carlists will not make common cause with those they think usurpers, and have always called masked tyrants ?" Being left isolated and alone nhospitable beach of Spanish politics, O'DONNELL will find rather an uneviable situation. Hitherto he has drawn largely on the liberal spirit f the people, and he has found it equal to his most sanguine hopes, and yet he suddenly turns round, and draws the sword on this very spirit, and seeks to rise above his perfidy without a friend except an army, w hi c h would desert him and the Crown to-morrow, for a popular leader and reliable friend. Men who riso to great official distinction by any public outrage, generally fall with equal rapidity, and we are much mistaken if T) O 9 ONNELL will not find the guilt of a succession of massacres, greater than the fertility of his genius as a states friend of the tottering Crown he has on tho man, or the taken under his special care. We have seen the career of greater men cut short by intrigue in Spain of the m os t paltry descrip tion, and left to plunder her public coffers, in order to escape starvation in a foreign land ; and if O'DONNELL should be driven from office, the world will be curious to know how he has made his exit ; whether through the national treasury, or by a less frequented road. There was a good deal of money in the Government-till at Madrid on the 16th, and we are very anxious to know how much of it will be forthcoming to pay the dividend on Spanish stock, after QU EEN ISABELLA'S re actionary whims, and O'DosNELL's butcheries have been paid for. If the 57,000,000 of reels should be forthcoming, all well and good ; but, if they have vanished, what will Europe think, and who will be the greatest sufferer? England has by . , far the largest material and moral stake in the peace and prosperity of Spain. She is amongst our oldest Continental Allies, and we are her largest creditor. We have no interest in her dynasty, laws, or institutions, so long as she is liberally and honestly governed. We have nothing to force down the throat of the Spaniard, nor to ask or expect from him, but that which belongs to common honesty and his own happi ness and welfare. The Spanish people know all this, and look upon Great Britain as their most disinterested and best friend. They know we sympathise with them in all their adversities, and delight to hear of their social prosperity and political ameliora tion. It is this confidence in the friendship of England which has kept alive that jealousy which has so often shown itself on the Continent, and we trust in the present inatanee that nothing will be done to gain an empty political ascendency at a base Court, at the expense of the moral and vast material interests we have in the peace and prosperity of the Peninsula. The street fight at Madrid, sanguinary was, will not subvert the Constitution of Spain. It may be magnified to intimidate the provinces, or as it its bloodshed may be disguised to encourage other • . towns to revolt ; but it matters not what colouring is given to O'DONNELL'S deeds, his triumphs will be short-lived, and their true character and objects will out. The days of the FERDINAND, Camarilla, and Inquisition regime have passed away for ever in Spain. So valuable and great a country must rise, and once more take its place amongst the civilised nations of Europe. Her dormant powers are as great as her former prestige ; and time will show us that O'DONNELL, and the party to which he professes to belong, are as impotent as the subjugators and humiliators of the noble Spaniards, as they are unequal to the task of sustaining themselves or illeviating the sufferings of their country. To-morrow may probably put us in possession of some tidings from Saragossa, which will enlighten the partisans of the Cama rills. in England ; but until we receive some intelligence• from the actual scene of action, the public should suspend their judgment, and not part with Spanish stock too freely. THE Abolition of Slavery having become a leading question in the United States, and one which is treated with greater moderation by the South every year, it behoves all who are interested in the production of Cotton to consider what the practical effect of the slave's emancipation will be. The immediate effect will be to put an end to com pulsory labour, to which we are mainly indebted for the supply of the tropical products we now receive from the North American Continent. We have no data by which we can form an accurate opinion of what the result of such a change would be, in the production of slave grown commodities. The manumission of the British Negroes has, after a lapse of years, falsified the most gloomy predic tions, and such must be the inevitable issue of Abolition in America. For the first year or two, the released bondsmen may not toil with con. stancy for existence, but when they find that their labour is marketable, and that social inde pendence, and political freedom, are the offspring of industry, they will not forsake the cultivation of the soil which will give them bread, and render ,heni respectable as well as free citizens. For the future productiveness of the States we have no reason, therefore, to be at all apprehensive. There is a special Providence reserved to reward all great and good acts, and it would be the basest of scep tical reasoning to doubt that the States would find innumerable blessings in the restoration of their millions of slaves to freedom. If the plea of " necessity" for continuing slavery in America can be raised, it must be in those foreign countries which are dependent on the slave holding States for a supply of cotton and sugar. But much as we have cause to dread any change in America with regard to the paramount element of production, in the present nicely balanced state of supply and demand, we must wish the labours of the abolitionists a hearty God's speed. We have long been made to understand that commercial considerations must give place to the necessities of the politician, and we can scarcely show less deference to huma nity than we do to the chiefs of party. Let com merce, then, strike her pro-slavery standard at once, and calmly consider what changes the eman cipation of the Negroes ii the States will bring about. The first effect will be to increase the doubt now felt as to the quantity of cotton which will be available for exportation. Early frosts, protracted droughts, alarming rains, and low and flooded rivers will thenceforth sink into complete insignificance, compared with the enquiry—will the free blacks work ? ,The Negroes industry, intelligence, and skill, as the tillers of the soil, are the standards by which we must regulate the value of free-grown cotton. Now, we are disposed to give the African credit for a degree of good under standing and regard for that social status which can only be attained by turning his labour to the best account, which many will think even more than fanciful. We will, however, venture to predict, that in the first year of abolition, the falling off in the production of Cotton will not exceed one-third of the present erop, and as the prices of that article would advance in proportion to the decrease in production, the States would certainly lose nothing by the transition. England would be the greatest loser by republican purification. We should have to turn on a sudden to some other country, for, probably, 700,000 or 800,000 bales of Cotton. This is the certainty which awaits us, let American abolition come when it may ; and what aro we doing to fill up this jeopardous falling off in supply, when it comes, and to feed that extraordinary ratio of increase in consumption, which we have often noticed? No changes can take place in the relations of labour and capital in America, which will not affect the market price of her produce in this court try. And when we see a candidate for the Presi dency of the United States going to the hustings as an Abolitionist, as Colonel FREMONT really is, it is high time that we looked a little a-head on a sub ject of such transcendant importance. We cannot depend on India for the next ten or twenty years for the increased supplies we require, we have no trade organised with Africa which holds out a hope of immediate release from the quarter where cotton is most abundant, and where it may be had at a comparatively nominal cost. And whence we are to look for the large and increasing supp li es we shall want within a very few years is a matter which cannot be too seriously considered, even if slavery in the States should be tolerated for any length of time THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY. THE COURT OSBORNE, July 30.—The Queen and Prince, accom panied by the Princess Royal, Princess Alice, and Prince Arthur, left Osborne this morning at a quarter past ten o'clock, for Aldershott Camp. PORTSMOUTH, July 30.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert came o►er to this port this morning, from Osborne, en route to Aldershott, her Majesty being received at Clarence Yard by the Commander-in-chief (Sir George Seymour), the Lieutenant-Governor (Major-General Breton), Admiral Superintendent Martin, &c. Her Majesty is expected back to-morrow. THE ROYAL REVIEW AT ALDEBSHOM—The proceed ings at Aldershott on Wednesday were by far the most interesting that have taken place on that heath since it first became a military encampment. The largest body of troops congregated together in England for very many years were inspected, and the Queen personally had an opportunity of seeing together the whole of the regiments composing the famous Light Division in the Crimea. The whole of the troops massed together on the ground num bered little less than 20,000. The cavalry comprised the King's Dragoon Guards and 11th Hussars from the Crimea, the 7th and 15th Hussars, and the Ist and 2nd Light Dragoons of the German Legion, with a field bat tery and two troops of Horse Artillery. The following were the Infantry regiments, all of whom, with the excep tion of the Guards, landed from the' Crimea within the last few weeks :—Grenadier Guards (Ist bat.), 4th (King's Own) regiment, 7th Royal Fusiliers, 19th regiment, 20th regiment, 23rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers, 33rd (Duke of Wellington's) regiment, 38th regiment, 42nd Royal High- landers, 44th, 49th, and 77th regiments, 88th Connaugh Rangers, 90th Light Infantry, 95th and 97th regiments Rifle Brigade (Ist bat.), Rifle Brigade (2nd battalion) constituting about 19,000 effective bayonets in all The Queen arrived at Farnborough, by special train from Gosport, at a quarter after one o'clock. Her Majesty was accompanied by Prince Albert and several of the younger branches of the royal ,family, though it wa s remarked that neither the Prince of Wales nor Prince Alfred were of the party. The Duke of Cambridge, who was to have travelled with her Majesty, by some unlucky mischance lost the Queen's train, and was oompelled to come on by special engine, which brought his Royal Highness to Farnborough within a few minutes after the departure of her Majesty. Arrived here, the Duke found a fresh difficulty in the absence of his charger, and for lack of better means of conveyance, his Royal Highness availed himself of a pony phaeton, placed at his disposal by - 4 Mr. Garry, the ac tive and obliging station master at this point of the railway. The recent arrival in camp of many fresh regiments, and a general knowledge of the enormous number of troops which would be upon the field, com bined to attract from London a most unusual number of visitors. The hour: fixed for the inspection was four o'clock, but, in consequence of the large number of troops to be brought together, several of the regiments marched out of quarters as early as two o'clock. The cavalry were the first to arrive on the ground, Two batteries of field artillery, and two troops of Royal Horse Artillery followed the cavalry from the camp. The march of the troops from the camp to the review ground was the most pleasing object of the day, and the course of each regiment as it came forth was marked along the dark heath by a line of glittering bayonets, flashing in the sunlight. The English cavalry and the artillery were stationed upon the opposite heights, and the Crimeaa regiments were drawn up in two lines along the whole extent of the common. The Foot Guards and the Rifles, with the German Cavalry, were massed on the heights in rear of the review ground; and in this posi— tion the troops awaited the arrival of her Majesty. Precisely at a quarter past four o'clock a salute from the artillery announced the approach of the royal party, and presently afterwards, to the great admiration and dcllght of tho alasomblod Hoge°, hor Majesty was seen on horseback advancing at the head of a brilliant staff. The Queen wore over her riding habit the gold braided scarlet jacket of a general officer, across which was a gold embroidered scarf. Her Majesty wore the "Melton hat" of dark beaver, with a red and white cock's feather flowing over the brim, and pendant gold tassels, adding greatly,to the effect of a piquant and graceful costume. Passing along the ridge of the hill, her Majesty, without pausing, rode towards the right of the first line, at the extreme end of which were drawn up, by the Queen's express desire, the 11th Hussars—which had arrived at Portsmouth only the previous day, and marched 22 miles on Tuesday morning to share in the honours of the inspec tion. Her Majesty, proceeding down,;the line, inspected successively the 95th, 42nd, 44th, 41st, 23rd, 20th, and 4th Regiments, the line considerably exceeding a mile :in length, and the inspection occupying fully half an hour. Her Majesty, having passed down the front line, wheeled to the left, and proceeded along the rear rank, in which the royal attention was especially directed to the 88th and 33rd Regiments, which so greatly distinguished themselves on several occasions during the late bloody contest. The Queen, having completed the inspection, proceeded to take up a position upon a point of ground marked out as most convenient for the troops to march past. After the whole of the troops had marched past, certain evolu tions, having for their object the development of an attack, and a retreat from a strong position, diversified with some smart firing, both of musketry and artillery, were gone through, and the review terminated about seven o'clock. The heat of the day was excessive, end several men fainted under the weight of their heavy kit ; but no serious casualties occurred. Among the distinguished parties present on the heath was one equestrian group of great interest, consisting of the Orleans family, represented by the Prince de Joinville, the Duke de Nemours, and the Duke d'Aumale, each with their eldest sons mounted on ponies. The Queen will remain at Aldershott until to-morrow, when her Majesty returns to Osborne. THE LIBEL CAUSE IN IRELAN7.4—The great libel case, Angell v. Galbraith, which has occupied the civil court at the Tipperary assizes for some days past, has been brought to a close. The jury could not agree, and they were discharged. We understand that out of the twelve jurymen, nine were In favour era verdict for the defend ant, and three for the plaintiff. TIE LATE COLLISION.—An inquest was held yesterday at the coroner's court, Lord-street, upon the bodies of the two men, Kilhorn and Darkir, who died at the Northern. Hospital of injuries received in the late collision between. the nail and Excelsior, steamers. The second inquest wan held in consequence of the parties having died subsequent to the opening of the inquest in .St. George's Hall. The depositions were taken pro forma, and an open verdict returned. The enquiry into the origin and circumstances of the collision, which is to be instituted by the Board of Trade, will be opened in the Police Court on Wednesday morning next. i DEATH FROM SWALLOWING FARRIER'S MEDICINE.--• Yesterday a child named William O'Gryan, son of persons residing in Comus Street, was killed by swallowing a di aught from a bottle containing some farrier's drugs. 'l'tie child was in a cellar belonging to the house along with its mother, and a number of bottles were on a shelf, which had belonged to a farrier to whom the cellar was previously let. A woman who had come to fetch away the bottles was talking to the child's mother, when on hearing a scream they both looked round, and saw that the child had one of the bottles in his hand, and that some fluid was running out of his mouth. While their attention was withdrawn from him, the child had put one of the bottles to his mouth, and swallowed a portion of the contents. The child only survived a short time. An inquest was held and a verdict returned according to the facts. PRESENTATION.—On Wednesday afternoon a gratifying testimonial, consisting of a handsome gold chronometer, with gold chain and key, the gift of the President of the United States, was presented to Captain Joseph Clark, of the liacciola, for his gallant and humane conduct in rescuing the captain and two of the crew of the American schooner Mayflower, in lat. 34 N., lon. 64 W., on the 17th January last. The pleasing duty of making the presenta tion, which had been forwarded from London by Mr. Dallas, the American Minister, was confided to the Marine Board of this port; and most ably and efficiently the chairman of the board, Mr. S. R. Graves, assisted by his colleagues, Messrs. J. Beazley, J. P. Palmer, C. Mac Iver, and W. J. Tomlinson, discharged the duty Captain Clark responded in feeling terms, and b egge d th a t his humble acknowledgment might be co nveye d t o th e American President for the hi gh complime n t pa id hi s ifl h um ble services in the cause of suffering humanity. The wa t c h bore the following inscription :—" Pre sen t e d to Captain Joseph Clark b y the President of the United States, for his humane arid gallant conduct in rescuing from shipwreck the master and part of the crew of the schooner Mayflower, of Newport, R. J. ; MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL LIVERPOOL, TIII7IISDAY EVENING The Liverpool Cotton Market has been very firm to-day, and with a fair demand, a good business has been done, at full prices. The sales reach 10,000 bales, and include 8,000 taken for specula tion and export. The Liverpool Share Market opened with a steady tone, and continued without material change until late in the day, when an improve ment took place, and closed firm at the following quotations : - Aberdeen, 141 1411.

Great Luxembourg, 91 There has been a good business done in the Manchester Goods Market to-day, and prices have been well sustained at the advanced rates of Tuesday for both goods and yarns. The Moniteur publishes the law upon the sup plementary and extraordinary financial credits of 1854, 1855, and 1856. For 1854, the supplemen tary credit was 87,190,926 f ; the credit extraordi nary, 419.658,043 f. In 1855, the latter credit was 728,066,014 f; and for 1856, 159,979,242 f. The bank directors have made no change in their rate of discount to-day, but the funds are firmer, and have recovered yesterday's decline of k per cent. Consols are quoted 95* to 951 for money, and 95/ to 951 for the 7th of August. The prospects of the Money Market are less encouraging than they were two or three weeks since. The absorption of specie by purchases for the Continent, and the apprehension that they are more likely to increase than diminish, has created an augmented demand for accommodation, which was yesterday stimulated by foreign stock and share settlements. As nearly the whole of the gold which arrives from Australia is taken to be remitted to France, the public are anxiously wait ing to ascertain the progress of the harvest, because, should it prove unfavourable, the Em peror would no doubt take the necessary measures to provide for any deficiency that might arise. The weather in this country is all that can be desired for the maturing of the crops, and the accounts from abroad likewise state that the yield of wheat is expected to be encouraging. With a gold pro duction in Australia, rapidly advancing in the manner it does, and the anticipation that the trade of /those colonies will again shortly revive, the results cannot prove otherwise than satisfactory. In the Foreign Stock Market a slight improve ment has taken place in Turkish Stocks. The Corn Market yesterday was flat. Wheat was very difficult of sale in retail quantities at last Monday's reduced rates. A small parcel of new Talavera wheat was offered, and realised 90s. per qr. The foreign arrivals of wheat and oats in London continue large. Since last Friday, 29 floating cargoes have also arrived at port of call, viz., 17 of wheat, and 7of Indian corn. Floating cargoes of wheat, though offered at lower prices, met with no buyers. Indian corn, however, con tinues in request, and the newly arrived cargoes are quickly bought up. ene ral meeting of the pro- The fourth halt yearly g prietors of the Madras Railway was held this after noon, at the London Tavern, Major-general Duncan Sim, chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. The report stated that- The directors had hoped to have the pleasure of an nouncing to the shareholders on this occasion the opening of the first portion of the railway for public traffic ; but unlooked for impediments have so far delayed this event, that although there is every reason to believe that the line has been at work for nearly a month past, no actual intelligence of it has yot bonn received by the board. I They have advices, however, by the last mail, that a wing of a native regiment with its followers was brought by train, on the 29th of May, from Arcot to Madras ; the other wing was to follow in a few days. The public open ing of the line for that distance, being sixty-five miles, was to take place on the 28th ult. with due ceremony, by the Right Hon. the Governor, Lord Harris. The board expect soon to hear of the opening of a further section of eight miles of the line , which will include the Poiney bridge at Trevelum, and extend the line from Madras to within about ten miles of Vellore. The directors having undertaken, at the request of the East India Company, the survey of the line of railway . to proceed by the way of Cuddapa and Bellary to a junction with the Great India Peninsular Railway Company's southern line from Bombay, the East India Company has since proposed that this company should undertake the construction of the line. In the event of its being decided to accept the proposals of the East India Company now submitted, and to issue the million of new capital on the guaranteed interest of five per cent., the shares will be offered to existing proprietors in the proportion of one for every three shares they hold. The report was adopted and resolutions passed in accordance with it. At a meeting of the dissentient shareholders in the Alliance (French and English) Bank, held this afternoon at the London Tavern, the following resolution was adopted :-" That the names of influential gentlemen having been advertised as directors of the company, upon the faith of whom they applied for shares, and such gentlemen having disclaimed all connection with the same, we are of opinion that those shareholders who have not paid the call of 5/. per share should refuse to do so until the legal proceedings now pending against the promoters of the company for recovering back the deposts have been decided." The Railway Share Market is more animated, on account of this being " settling day ;" and the increasing traffic returns on the principal lines have given an upward tendency to quotations. The closing quotations were :-Caledonian, 601 601. Eastern Counties, 101 101. East Lan cashire, 86 88. Great Northern, 96 97. A,BO 81. Great Western, 621 621.

WILLIAM FENTON, EsQ.—We understand that, in conse quence of his having accepted the chairmanship of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, William Fenton, Esq., has resigned his seat at the Caledonian board, AMERICAN Mates.—The royal mail steamship Canada will sail with the American mails, for Halifax and Boston, to-morrow morning. The post-offlce will close at eight o'clock, with late fees at nine o'clock, and on the stage at ten o'clock. AocinENT.—Yesterday afternoon a lady was knocked down by one of the omnibuses running along Penbroke place, At the time of the accident she was crossing the road. Fortunately she did not sustain any very serious injury beyond being very much frightened. No blame whatever was attached to the driver of the omnibus. SUDDEN DEATIC—Thomas Clifford, a seaman, died suddenly yesterday in the house of a person named William Irving, who keeps a boarding house in Cleveland-square. The deceased came home from sea about a fortnight previously, and was continuously drunk up to the time of his death. An inquest was held upon the body, and a verdict returned in accordance with the circumstances. CHILD RUN OVER.—Yesterday, a boy named Samuel llic'sson ' was playing in Maguire-street, near the whee l of a cart. The cart suddenly moved on, and the wheel passed over the body of the child, who was killed instantaneously.

It closed at 70f 05e, both for cash and account, with a fall of 5e and 106. Credit Mobilier was in great demand, and rose 25f.

THE NEW SCREW STEAMER SOVEREIGN Some time ago we had the pleasure of noticing the launch of this fine screw propellor, built by the eminent firm of Messrs. Vernon and Son, for the Liverpool and Bristol Channel Steam Packet Company, and yesterday we had the satisfaction of being one of a large party, who were privileged to witness her first trial trip. The pro duction of fine steamers in Liverpool, has been the theme of praise for some years past, and every day adds to the progress made in this great field of enterprise, and although the Sovereign is not one of the largest vessels built in our port, she deserves more than ordinary notice, both in reference to her construction, her engines, and general economy, as a merchant vessel, and one calculated to afford passengers the largest amount of comfort and accommodation. The Sovereign is an iron:vessel, and her builders, Messrs. Vernon & Son, have left nothing undone to make her worthy of that well-known house. She is 170 feet long, 25 beam, and 13 feet deep, with a large capacity for stowage. Her tonnage 0.m., is 515 tons; but, of course, she can carry much more than that. She has full flash decks from stem to stern, and full open from side to side. Her cabin is a full poop, and is fitted up with all the recent improve - ments which experience warrants, and everything that can afford passengers comfort has been adopted. The state saloon is a very pretty apartment, and, unlik e cabins in other vessels, the sleeping rooms form sep crate places at the head of the saloon. There is a double excellence in this arrangement, as the rooms serve for retiring as well as sleeping apartments. The second cabin, set apart for deck passengers, is the best of the sort we ever observed in any ship carrying this class of passengers. We have always maintained the rights to which this Blass of the community are entitled, and we are proud to say that the Sovereign has come up to our notions in this regard. She can take upwards of 100 of this class of passengers. with ease to all. The Sovereign has been constructed on the most approved scientific principles—her lines are very fine, and her general calcu lation as to speed averages from 10 to 12 knots, as a sea boat, an hour. Her performances yesterday realised all that was expected of her in this respect. Her engines have been built by Mr. John Jack, whose work is so well known and admired. They are of 100-horse power norni nally, but of course capable of working up to 50 per cent. more if required. They are constructed on the direct principle, so peculiar to Mr. Jack's establishment. The great point about these engines is the fact, that they occupy so small a space, and at the same time are so very' effective. They worked admirably—cool and smooth.- - and Mr. Rollo, who ably conducts this department of Mr. Jack's large establishment, was warmly congratulated on his complete success. The trial trip of this fine boat took place yesterday, under most favourable circumstances' The day was peculiarly fine and warm, and the company on board large and respectable, including a number of ladies, who seemed to enjoy the trip very much. The vessel started from the Clarence Basin about 10 o'clocic , and proceeded towards the Isle of Sian. Amongst the party present, we observed the following gentlemen- -- Messrs. William Thompson (and family), "Vernon, jun' (one of the builders), Jack (engine builder), and family Kennedy, Bacon, J. Maudsley, Fowler, F. Simmonds, E. Harper, W. E. Taylor, W. B Drake, R. Clay, captain Parker, Captain W. J. Beckett, James Redmond, and several other gentlemen. As observed, the day was peculiarly fine, and a s the noble ship shot along on the surface of the water, all fel t the pleasure afforded by the circumstances which coal' bined to render the day agreeable. This latter portioa was considerably enhanced by the assistance of le Morrish, of the Merchants' Dining Rooms, to whom the arrangement of the banquet had been worthily assigne d ; and although he was not present, he had an excellen t representative in the person of Mr. Robert Childe, vvb o ably managed that portion of the proceedings. The bai l• quet consisted of everything that could be wished for, an d the wines (in profusion) embraced claret, champagne, W. the princely owners having given a carte blanche to the excellent caterer in this respect. We have not seen e more superior r e p as t l a id ou t th an th a t t o w hi c h company sat down on board the Sovereign yesterday.
