these gentlemen in the most afhble nnieser' goyim that she
had heard much of the salubrity and beauty of tile island,
lied was mindful of the loyalty at all times of its inhabitants.
Oka further stated her royal pleasure to land the sad day at
11 o'clock, being informed by Mr. Chevalier that the tide
would then emit.
Thursday opened with a beautiful morning—her Majesty
ja said always to have tine weather when she travels—and
the flags, and arches, and the clean and gala aspect of the
town, were true omens of the triumphs of the day. From an
boor before sunrise, people were coming into town, and pro
osoding to the neighbourhood of the piers. The stream con-
tinued to increase, and by 8 o'clock, the reserved seats, the
heights above tho harbour, and every place where it was
possible to obtain a view of the landing, were filling. The
coop d'teil was now very picturesque and imposing—the
ranges of seats covered with well dressed persons, the crowds
swarming on the table land of the rocky steeps leading to the
fort ; the decorated red pavilion at the end of the pier, and the
white group of young ladies about it, to welcome her MajeMy
with the royal anthem, gave • fine effect to the scene.
The depot of 81st regiment, the town militia, and the
States were all on the pier ready to receive the sovereign,
who landed ahortly before eleven o'clock. The battery of
Elisabeth Castle tired a royal salute, and on the Fairy
rounding that fort, and entering the small roads, the royal
standard of England was hoisted at the pier-head, and at the
same time a beautiful white flag was run up under the royal
banner, bearing the words " %%crows HARBOUR" in large
'characters. A train of young ladies sang the national an-
them, and at the same time strewed flowers on her Majesty's
=On entering the pavilion, the Queen seated herself
moment, 11 11.11. Prince Albert at her right, and beside
her the ladies of honour and Lord Spencer. Her Melody was
pleased to receive the addresses of the States and of the militia.
Carriage* were next in requisition, and the royal party pro
'seeded on an excision through the island, visiting, amongst
other places, Mont Orgepil Castle, where the keys of the for-
tress were presented to the Queen. On seeing the coast of
France, Her Majesty expressed her surprise, and asked the
Viscount what might be the distance between this island and
the opposite come, to which he replied about thirteen or
fourteen miles • Her Majesty expressing a desire to see, if
possible, Coutances Cathedral, Colonel Le Couteur proceeded
for a telescope, but unfortunately the one he procured was
not good, and the royal party had a very indifferent view of
the opposite coast. The Queen was also desirous of entering
her name on the visitors' book, but unfortunately it was not
at hand. The royal party re-entered their carriages, and
returned to the New Harbour, where the royal State barge
conveyed them to the Fairy.
"And here," says the Jersey herald, "let ue mention,
en passant, a circumstance which occurred shortly before
the Victoria and Albert came to her moorings. The little Prince
of Wales went on deck, dressed as a sailor—a glazed hat,
checked shirt, the handkerchief round the collar tied in a
sailor's knot, blue jacket, and white trousers, were his
costume. The sailors gave the royal sailor nine times nine,
and when that was over, he ordered a glass of grog to be
given to each of them."

THE BRITISH MUSEUM, together with the new
rooms in the western wing containing sculpture, will be re-
opened to the public this day.
THE Soa-FIESDS BURIAL-GROUND.—Mr. Bram-
well, to whom the case between the proprietor of the Spa-
fields burying-ground and the public was referred, has at
length made his award. He prohibits any further burials or
disturbance of the ground, save in certain parts of the church-
yard, for ten years. Directs that no coffin of five feet or up- i
wards shall be buried in any grave not deep enough to lie s
over the upper part of such coffin a thickness of soil of five
feet ; coffins to be buried one or more deep in a vertical
direction. Where a coffin has been buried one year, they I
shall not bury over or disturb it. There shall be a horizontal
or lateral direction one foot at least between coffins buried in 1
the ground. No coffin to be removed or disturbed, nor any
body, or part of any body, for ten years from the time of
banal. This award is dated the 9th of May last. The parts I
of the ground to be hereafter used can only be properly un-
derstood by examining a plan. They comprise that portion 1
bounded on the east by part of the western wall of the dwell-
ing-house, and part of the ground bounded on the north by
the north wall of that house.—Sunday Times.
ROASTING AN OX TO COMMEMORATE THE REPEAL
OP THE CORN-LAWS.—Yesterday, at the Pearson Arms,
Pearson-street, Kingsland-road, a large ox was roasted '
whole, to commemorate the repeal of the Corn-laws, Orna-
mented with various coloured ribbons. It was placed before
an enormous fire ut seven o'clock in the morning, and was 1
visited by a large concourse of persons during the day. At
five o'clock it was taken from the fire, and eat up, when an 1
immense number partook of it at a very small charge.
OFFENCES IN THE PARK.—Yesterdaya statement ,
of all persons apprehended in St. James's, Hyde, and the
Green Parks, and Kensington Gardens, during the month of
August was, by order of the Commissioners of Woods and
Forests, poetess at the principal entrances. Fifteen persons
found sleeping at night in the shrubberies of Hyde Park
were all confined with hard labour for short periods ; three,
convicted of indecency in Hyde and St. James's Park, were
held to bail to answer the charges at the sessions ; and three ,
others, for cutting seats and assaulting a constable, were im- I
prisoned with bard labour.
WILL OF THE LATE MRS. E. FRY.—The testatrix,
wife of J. Fry, Esq., of Upton, Essex, enjoyed a life interest
over certain trust property, under the respective wills of her
sisters, Priscilla Gurney and Rachel Gurney, with a power of
disposition over the same, by deed, will, or otherwise, and of
which there was remaining unappropriated, and at her dis-
was], a sum of 11,0001. ; this she has directed to be applied '
for the benefit of her family in the following manner :—The 1
interest of 6,0001. to her husband for life, and afterwards the
principal to be divided squally amongst her children. To 1
her daughter, Katherine Fry, who has always lived with her, 1
but to whom no provision has hitherto been made, she 1
leaves the interest of 4,0001. and 2,0001. on her marriage 1
and the remaining 1,0001. to her son D. H. Fry. The be- 1
quests are entirely confined to the trusts under which she 1
was empowered by the deeds of disposition. She executed I
her will in 1840, appointing her sons J. 0. Fry and J. Fry,
jun., Esqrs.' executors, to whom special letters of administra • I
tion with the will was granted, the husband consenting. She 1
was in her 66th year.—lfornisq Post.
THE REGISTRATION.—Funds being required to
carry out effectually the defence of persons whose claims
have been vexatiously objected to in Middlesex, East Sussex,
Hertford, West Kent. South Essex, and South Hants, an
appeal has been made for subscriptions. Amongst the first
to come forward with substantial aid to the cause are the
Earl of Radnor, Lords Robert Grosvenor, John Russell,
and Clarendon, and the Hon. Admiral Bouverie.
OMNIBUS STATISTICS.—The total number of om-
nibuses now traversing the streets of London, is 1,490,
giving employment to very nearly 4,000 hands. The earn-
ings of these vehicles vary very much, on some roads being
as high as 41. per day, and on others as low as 21. ; but
taking the lowest average, we shall then find that there is
spent in omnibus rides in and around the metropolis, the
large sum of 2,9801. per day, or 1,087,7001. per annum.
Persons can now be conveyed as great a distance for six-
pence as would formerly cost five times the amount ; besides,
the whole is so regulated, that there is a comfortable means
of conveyance ready at all hours, from eight o'clock in the
morning till twelve o'clock at night, to all parts of the
metropolis, and for miles beyond it in every direction.-
- Morning Post.
SWIMMING FEAT.—Yesterday afternoon, a man of
filename of Leeson, jumped from the middle of Hungerford-
- Mtge, and swam to Waterloo-bridge in four minutes fifty-
- fee seconds, winning a bet of 151. to 101. that he would
amemplish the feat in five minutes twenty-five seconds,
' millet the cheers and congratulations of his friends. The
tide was running strong at the time.
SUICIDE AT BLACKFRIARS-BRIDGE. —Yesterday
morning, about two o'clock, an elderly man, threw himself
headforemost into the river, firom the steps on the Surrey aide.
After three hours' search, the body of the unfortunate man
was found, and conveyed to the workhouse in Christchurch.
He was dressed in a fustian jacket, corded breeches, grey
stockings, and laced-up boots. In his pockets was found a
tobacco-box, with " J, Manning " inserted on the lid.
ACCIDENT YESTERDAY.— A waggon, heavily
laden with timber, and drawn by three horses, was in Ebury-
street, Pimlico, being driven by a man of the name of
Clarke, who was sitting on the fore horse, when he fell off,
and before the animals could be stopped the off fore and
hind wheels passed over his thighs, which were frightfully
fractured. He was removed to St. George's Hospital, and
but little hopes are entertained of his recovery.
INQUESTS HELD YESTERDAY.—By Mr. W. Baker,
Cock and Magpie, Worship-street, Shoreditch, touching the
death of Mary Ann Stroud, aged 47, a married woman, who
died on Saturday last. Deceased kept a coffee and eating-
house is Worship-street, and was subject to bilious attacks.
On Saturday morning she complained of violent pains, and
retired to her bedroom. Towards the afternoon she vomited
*great deal, and appeared to get much worse. A surgeon
was sent for, and mills arrival the deceased was quite dead.
A'uror said it was a suspicions case, and it being advisable
tohave martens examination, the case was adjourned
for further inquiry.—By Mr. Wakley, at the Vestry-hall
Church-passage, Chancery-lane, on the body of a newly-
bora female. On the morning of the 4th inst. a small rush
bullet, tied and directed to a gentleman at No. 95, Hobo-
-1117-road Villas, was left by a stranger at the receiving-house
of the Parcels' Delivery Company, Charleeetreet, West-
minster. It was ascertained, on the parcel being sent, that
no one of the name lived at the address, and it then returned
to the company's office in Roll's-buildings, Fetterslane,
where, upon being opened, it was found to contain the body
tif deceased wrapped up in a piece of linen rag. The pare-
thin 'surgeon could not state whether the deceased bad been
been alive or not, and the jury returned an open verdict of
Found Dead."—By Mr. Bedford, at the Griffin, Villier's-
. *ens Strand, on the body of Charles Wells, aged 43,
rosier, of No. 30, James-street, Covent garden, whose des
mu mentioned yesterday. It appeared from the evidence,
• 'which was rather conflicting, that the deceased was tipsy,
bo„.t that he was rudely pushed by a porter of Covent-garden
surnet, and fell under the wheels of a cart paining at the
time. The jury, however, seemed to consider the porter free
of blame though he had been taken into custody, for they
?denied a verdict of" Accidental Death."

Bade; and MM. Elie de Beaumont, Dumas, and Constant
Prevost, from Paris, besides many others of scarcely less
distinguished note, for whose reception accommodation has
been provided at the houses of the principal local members :
the vice-presidents--who are the Marquis of Winchester,
the Earl of Yarborough, Viscount Palmerston, the Lord
Bishop of Oxford, the Speaker of the House of Commons,
Sir George Staunton, Bart., M.P., Professor Owen, and
Professor Baden Powell—have also announced their intention
of being present, besides which the scientific ranks of the
meeting are expected to be filled up more efficiently than
even on any previous occasion. The preprations of the local
council are far advanced, and very conveniently arranged for
the acoommodation of members. The reception-room,
where each member presents himself on his arrival in town,
for his ticket and for information, is at the Audit-house, in
High-street, and the places of meeting of the different sec-
tions have been selected as near as possible to each other.
The arrangements for the week are the meeting of the Lon-
don Council to-morrow ; that of the general committee for
general purposes of business on Wednesday ; whilst on
Thursday at 11 o'clock, the scientific business of the sec-
tions will commence, continuing each day till the following
Wednesday at the same hour. The opening general meeting
will be held at the Victoria Rooms, when the president, Sir
Roderick Marckison, will deliver his introductory address ;
on Friday evening, Professor Owen will deliver a discourse
on the fossil mammalia of the British islands ; and, on
Monday evening, Mr. Lyell on certain points in the geology
of America. On Saturday there will be an excursion to the
Isle of Wight, and on the evenings of Saturday and Tuesday
there will be conversational aoirdes at the Victoria Rooms,
whilst the concluding general meeting will be held on Wed-
nesday evening. On Monday. there will be a meeting of the
general committee for the choice of the next place of meeting,
and officers, &c. ; and on Wednesday another, to decide upon
the awards of money to be made for different objects of spe-
cific scientific research.—A very numerous meeting of the
local committee was held yesterday afternoon in the rooms
of the Mechanical Section. The chair was taken by Mr.
Lobb, the mayor, who was supported by Sir R. Mur-
chison and most of the leading members of the town
council. In alluding to the visit of the Prince Consort, the
Mayor stated that the inhabitants of Southampton were
equally prepared to receive him, whether in his station as a
private individual, or as the husband of the Queen. They
had shown this in the recent visit of her Majesty to the
salmon fishery, at Woodmill's, where her desire for
privacy had been properly respected. On this occa-
sion he was sure that the wishes of his Royal Highness
would be perfectly consulted. Various minor details re-
lating to the proceedings of the sub-committees, having been
entered into, the meeting adjourned.
Amongst other sources of accommodation which the com-
mittee have provided for the members is a descriptive
account of Southampton and its vicinity, with a geological
guide to the Isle of Wight and its scenery, which they have
got up with great care, and at considerable expense.
