to Elliott's Royal ordered horses to
be sent to Prises Tem% te Royal Highness from
Dartmoor to this tows. At —rlB 17. m., the squadron were
observed off the Breakwater. On coming in sight of the
port, the Odin, Megletenne, Sampson, Baracouta, and
Retribution, were stepped and dressed ; the Victoria and
Albert, the Fairy mai the Bleak Eagle, went a-head, and
as the yacht cease Isis the Sega& kerMajesty'z ship Queen
saluted the Royal sinained. They swept rapidly through
the Sound, and brought up en the glassy surface of Barn-
pool, the remainder of the squadron anchored in the
Sound, and dressed as the vessels were, the effeet
was very pleasing and pretty. As soon as the standard
was seen from the Impregnable, Captain A. Lowe, with
the flag of Admiral Sir John A. Ommanney, that ship
was dressed and manned aloft, and a royal salute was fired.
The Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir J. A. Otantanney,
and all the captains in the port, with Colonel Commandant
(Col. Caren), of the Royal Marines, at this port, and the
Second-in-command (Colonel Giles), went of In proces-
sion to pay their respects to her most gracious Majesty the
Queen. As a matter of course great anxiety was evinced
to get a glimpse of the Queen ; as the prospect of the
airiest of the royal squadron increased, so did the number
of persons on the Hoe, the Point, Mount Wise, and other
places of observation. And on the Victoria and Albert
approaching Barnpool there wee a pressing demand for
boats until nearly everything in the shape of a waterman's
boat was engaged. The crowd of boats round the royal
yacht, composing an irregularly picturesque frame for
that splendid model of naval architecture, was immense.
At about a quarter past four o'clock, her Majesty em-
barked in her barge, and accompanied by four of the royal
children, landed at Mount Edgeumbe, and was received by
the Countess of Mount Edgeumbe, and, on arriving at the
house, by the noble earl, the state of whose health unfortu-
nately prevented Odin from coming to the water side. On
=, her Majesty, who looked in excellent health, was
cheered by the vast concourse of people in boats,
and on the shore—which tribute she was pleased_ graciously
to acknowledge, by bowing repeatedly. Her Mejesty re-
mained on shore until about six o'clock when she, and the
sambas of the royal family, by whOat she was secom.
pealed, returned to the Victoria and Albert, and on passing
in the boat from the shore to the vessel, was heartily
cheered.

Aiaquarter past six o'clock, his Royal Highness Prince
Albert and Colonel Grey arrived on Mount Wise in a ear-
ths* hem Database, eosin is by way of Stoke. The
wimp was drives* the Watery, when the Prince and his

formed his royal highness of the address. While the prince
remained at the Seven Stars Hotel, the Rev. W. B. Cosens,
the Vicar of Berry Pomeroy, had an interview with his
royal highnsee, and had the honour of convening with him
in reference to the beauties and views of the neighbourhood,
ea which the prince appeared to be much interested. The

FIRE. IN

AND TUE BOROUGH.-

Last evenieg, between the hours of five and BIZ, consider-
able alarm wee caused in the immediate neighbourhood of
Temple-bar, in consequence of a fire, of rather a formidable
character breaking out on the maims belonging to Mews,
Southgate mad Barrett, the literary auctioneers, &e., No.
22, Fleet-street. The flames originated in the upper part
of the building, and speedily obtained possession of the
attics. At one time nothing short of the destruction of
several adjoining houses could be expected. The engine
belonging to the Temple was quickly brought to the back
of the premises and set to work. Numerous engines of the
London Brigade and West of England followed in rapid
succession, and owing to the combined exertion of all pre-
sent the fire was eventually subdued, the damage done
being confined to the gutting of the attics, and slight injury
to the ceilings under by water. The loss will fell on the
Atlas and Union lire oilloes.—At a late hour the preceding
night a very alarming fire broke out in the premises of Mr.
E. Hammond, bookbinder, &e., No. 3, Great Dover•street,
Borough, near the Sean Inn. Engines of the parish, Lon-
don Brigade, and West of England-ofilos were promptly in
'sondem'', as well as the Royal Society's fire escapes.
Plenty of water having been procured, three engines were
set to work, but in spite of the exertions of the firemen the
conflagration could not be conquered until property valued
at some hundred pounds wee totally consumed. The origin
of this fire, like the preceding, is unknown. The sufferer
was fortunately insured in the British Empire Mutual
Office.
