POSTSMOCTU, AUGOST 2.—There has been a large
influx of vis.tors into this town to-day to visit the fleet at
Spithead, two heavy trains from Loudon having brought
some 3,000 people down, whilst another heavy train came
from Oodaluting, Guildford, &I. By many it was antici-
pated that a review was to come off before the Queen,
although this projected spectacle had been so generally con-
tradicted by the papen. Tien was, ho , some highly
interesting and effective practice this afternoon at Spitbesd,
the crews of the ships being exercised in manning and
arming boats. Then evolutions culled great interest. By
the 1.15 South Coast train the Sardinian Secretary el Lega-
tion, having several distinguished Sardinian personages
with him, arrived from town to inspect the fleet, and was
received at the railway station by V. I'eppaludo, E.q , the
Sardinian V ice-Cm sul at this port. The B irracouta, 6, steam
sloop, Commauder Parker, arrived at this port yesterday and
joined the fleet. She came into harbour to-day, to have
some repairs effected, haring got into collision in the chan-
nel with a merchant vessel. A court of inquiry is to be
held into the circumstances of the affair. Trie Stromboli,
6, steam sloop, took Captain Chads, of the Eceellent, down
to the Net dl, a, to-day, for the purpose of trying some shell
practice against the rocks there. The Monarch, East In-1
shaman, arrived at Spithead, last night, from the river, to
take passengers and stock on board. Rear• Admiral Feti-
shism., went oat to Spithesd this afternoon, to pay a visit to
the PlUllailla frigate and corvette, now at anchor at Spit-
head. its was saluted on leaving.

Bank, end had cube! on his return to England. Being
about to get married, he went to Liverpool and stopped at
the house of a Captain Brown. Captain Brown shortly
after proceeded with a vessel to Messina, where Simpson
accompanied him, leaving 20f. with a person named Eliza
Hicharchoe, to whom ho was to Lave been married, together
with the deposit receipt for 3001. The prisoner Gore, who
was in the habit of frequenting the ►owe, got pumeuion of
the deposit receipt took, and with the assistance of Mudd,
who stated to the clerks of t►e bank that he knew Simpson,
and that Gore was that person, got the 3001. out of the
bank They were both found Guilty, and the Recorder
seatenced them—Gum to transportation for seven yeses, '1
and Mudd, who was recommended to mercy, to imprison-
meet with hard labour for nine menthe, in addition to a

Simpson arse taken into custody by two of the London de-
tective., on a charge of tieing ono Of the patties to the gold
dust robbery on board the Lady Flora, on her homeward
passage. Simpson, during his cress-examination, admitted
that he had gambled • good deal during the passage, and
had lost money. He had, he stated, gambled with a par
'eager, named Craweour, who had been convicted fur steal-
ing some of the gold dust in question. It was the opinion
in the court, however, that the warrant was informal, and
could not be acted upon.
