BOSTON.

The royal party arrived at Boston at 4.30, and Lord J.
Russell presented the mayor to the Queen. The train
stopped only six or seven minutes at the station. Great
crowds of spectators were on the platform and along the
line to give her Majesty a hearty reception, which she re-
turned most pleasingly. The following address was pre-
sented:

" Most Gracious Sovereign—ln approaching your Ma-
jesty's most royal presence we desire to express our un-
feigned thankfulness to Divine Providence, by whose
allwise direction this empire is blessed with a Queen,
whose life is unceasingly devoted to the welfare of her
Majesty's subjects, and under whose benignant reign
this country enjoys the blessings of peace ; civil and
religious liberty, and by whom, united with his Royal
Highness Prince Albert, your Majesty's royal consort, the
arts and manufactures of this kingdom are munificently
patronised, and in whose domestic virtues and devotedness
to the religious, moral, and social elevation of the people,
an example is placed before the court, the country, and the
world, in the highest degree important and beneficial. We
fervently pray that the blessing of Him by whom monarchs
reign may for many years be vouchsafed to your Majesty,
and that long living with your Majesty's Royal Consort and
children, and continuing to reign over a loyal, prosperous,
and happy people, your Majesty may at some distant period,
when called to lay down an earthly crown, receive a celes-
tial diadem which shall never fade away.—Given under the
corporate seal of the said borough, 27th day of August,

LINCOLN.

The run from Boston to Lincoln was made in rather more
than an hour. The population of this ancient city were out in
great numbers, crowding the vicinity of the railway for a
long distance, and cheering her 'Majesty most lustily u the
royal train drove into the station.
The mayor and corporation were assembled on the plat-
form, and when the carriage containing her Majesty drew
up, the mayor (Mr. Charles Ward) advanced, and, in the
name of the corporation of the city, presented the following
dutiful address :

" TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
"The loyal and dutiful address of the mayor, aldermen,
and citizens of the city of Lincoln.

Consort and children, a hearty and cordial welcome to this
your ancient and loyal city.
" It is to us a source of joy and exultation to be thus en-
abled to tender to your Majesty in person a renewal of tho
i homage of our profound loyalty, and of our warmest affec-
tion and attachment to your Majesty's sacred person and
government.

DONCASTER.
This morning the weather was anything but promising,
and showers kept falling at intervals. Preparatit.ns were
made at the railway station fur the iweoinin.alat;on of the
public, and also for the comfort and accommodation of the
Queen and suite. Amongst these was an awning at the
entrance. Inside the station the platforms, and that port
of the floor on which her Majesty would pr.weed, were
covered with scarlet cloth. The iron pillars at the sides
were decorated with wreaths of evergreens and flowers,
and other decorations were added in different places,
Several additional policemen arrived from different parts of
the line, and about silty special constables were sworn in
to attend at and about the station. About twelve a party
of the B.3th regiment of infantry arrived front Hull, with the
band,and marched into the town, when they proceeded at
once to the Guildhall, fittel up fur them as a large barrack.

were at the station on the arrival of the troops—the military
being under his lordship's command.
WEDNESDAY NIGDT, 9 o'Cnot K.
Precisely at half-pant six this evening, atter a pilot-engine
had passed the station, the train conveying her Majesty and
the royal family arrived at the station. Iler Majesty was
attended by Lord .1. Russell, the lion. Cul. Phipps, Colonel
Gordon, and several others. Her Majesty and Prince Albert
were handed front the royal carriage by Edward Denison,
Esq., M.l'., who, along with several directors, had come Ma
carriage throughout the entire journey from town. Im-
mediately on alighting, her Majesty and Prince Albert were
presented with addresses from the corporation and inhabi-
tants of the borough, of which the following are copies:
TO THE 4EEEN:t4 MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.

May it please your Majesty,—We, your Majesty's dutiful
and loyal subjects, the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of
the borough of Doncaster, awl other inhabitants of this
borough in public meeting assembled, beg humbly to ex-
press to your Majesty the fe,ling of delight which pervades

May it please your Royal Ilighness,—We, the mayor,
aldermen, and burgesses, of the borough of Dewar,
ter, and the other inhabitants of the borough, in
public meeting assembled, humbly avail ourselves of this
opportunity of expressing to your Royal Highness our deep
feeling of respect towards a prince who is at once tho
worthy consort of our beloved Queen, and himself possesses
so many personal claims to the admiration and sympathy d
the British nation.
Living in the centre of an agricultural population, our
interests closely bound up with theirs, we have lung marked
the exertions of your royal highness in extending the
benefits of every useful institution, in the practical
application of the discoveries of science to the
cultivation of the soil, and in promoting tb.• comfort of the
labourer. And now that your royal highness is seeking
repose from that triumph of peace and international good
will, the Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations—we
would add our sincere acknowledwuints to that universal
tribute which is so justly paid to the noble design and its
glorious execution. In Calleillbeoll, we beg year royal

persons of our beloved sovereign and yourself; and of our
' prayers that your royal highness may long be spared to be
the nearest and firmest supporter of her throw, and the
leader in every usetVl national undertaking.
Iler Majesty, on alighting, stopped to sneak a few words
to Sir Charles Wood, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who
was standing on the platform, as was also Lard Cathcart, in
full regimentals, attended by two aides-de-camp. The baud of
the Ist West Yorkshire Yeomanry Cavalry was stationed at
the opposite side of the platform, and played the National
Anthem on the arrival of the Royal train. On proceeding
through the station, which was beautifully decorated with
dowers and evergrecua, the royal party entered the car-
riages, and proceeded to the town, amidst the
loud plaudits of thousands of spectate's, who
evinced their delight in a variety of ways, such
as cheering, waving of hats and handkerchiefs, &e.
On reaching the National School the children, who were
on a platninn, sang " God save the Queen," and thus her
Majesty passed, to the Angel hotel, where a guard of ho-
nour, of the soldiers of the B.ith infantry, were waiting to re-
ceive the royal party. The loyalty of the thousands who
lined the atreets on each bide, awl who filled all
the windows on the entire route was beyond all bounds,
and must have convinced her Majesty that the loyalty of
the good people of Doncaster has in no wise abated.
In the eve g the Mansion House, Guildhall, and
several et the residences of the pnifessional men and
trade-men were brilliantly illuminated. The devices at the
Mansion Iluuse consisted of th corporation 4[lll6—a castle,
with the motto " Son comfort et Siesta.," a crown, and the
letters "V. A." On the Guildhall was a crown on the
pediment, and uuderneath the word " \Velvet:lie " and
"V. A." on each wing. Tina was immediately opposite
the Angel Hotel, and had an imposing appearance. The
other devices in the town were generally of a tasteful cha-
racter.

In the evening, a dinner was given by George Johnson,
Esq., mayor, to a party of about 140 gentlemen, amongst
whom were Mr. Denison, M.l'., the chairman, and several
directors of the Great Northern Railway. The dinner took
place in the banguetting-room of the Mansion-house.
The proceedings of the day terminated by a grand dis-
play of fireworks, in a field at the south end of the tuwn, at
which thousands of persons were present.
11cr Majesty and mite will ave Doncaster at 9in the
morning, arriving at Edinburgh in the titternmi, accord-
ing to the time table already published. 'the smile proces-
sion will accompany her Majesty to the Station as attended
the royal party front thence this afternoon.

TIM, QUEEN'S VISIT TO THE MANUFACTURING
HtsTiticrs.—A meeting of the Salford town council was
held yesterday, when the mayor, Thomas Agnew, Esq.,
formally announced to the council that her Majesty had
intimated her intention of honouring that borough with
her presence on the 10th of October next. Re was sure
that with every member of this council there would be an
enthusiastic feeling of gladness at her Majesty's condescen-
sion, and that this vast community would do everything in
their power to give her Majesty, the lady of the manor of
Salford, an ardent and sincere welcome.—Mr. Councillor
Langworthy then moved "'That the council do undertake
to defray all the expenses which may he incurred in making
the necessary preparations to give a proper reception to her
Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert on the occa-
sion of their intended visit." The motion was ,ecotled by
Mr. Alderman Jenkiuson, and carried una kk I 11l ously. A
committee wad then appointed, to consist of the mayor, Mr.
Alderman Worrell, Alderman Jenkinsun, Alderman Kaye,
Alderman Higgins, and Cour.cillors Latigwortliy, William-
son, Wrigley, Foster, and Gendall, to make all the neces-
sary preparations. The proceedings that terminated.

DR. 11. E. 0. PAULI'S, Doctor of Theology, Philo-
sophy, and Laws, died at Ileidelberg on the 10th inst. Ile
has been for more than half a century kuown as one of the
most able and active among the theological and philoso-
phical writers of Germany. Dr. Paulus was born at Leon-
burg, near Stuttgard, in 1761. He studied chiefly at
Tubiugen, but visited several other univer•ints in Ger-
many, Holland, and England. Whilst at Oxford, in the
year 1781, be was appointed professor of oriental languages
at Jena, chiefly through tho recommendation of Ciries-
bach. In 1793 he succeeded to the theological chair, and
continued to lecture on theology at Jena, Wurzburg, and
lastly at Heidelberg, above forty years, till advancing ago
and its infirmities compelled him to retire from public
duties. His profound learning, penetrating judgment,
unshrinking courage, and unwearied assiduity, obtained
for his writings, which were very numerous, is wide circu-
lation, and there can be no doubt but that his researches,
historical and critical, as well as the inferences he deduced
from them, had considerable influence on the public mind.
In private life he was one of the most amiable of men—
easy of access, courteous to strangers, tolerant towards op-
ponents, bestowing kind and unostentatio.n attention on
aU who sought his assistance, and ever actively engaged, up
to his ninetieth year, in endeavouring to prostate the inte-
rests of freedom, order, and peace—of piety, virtue, and
humanity.
ANOTHER" LEVENSIDE" CASE.—We have abstained
from further comment on the case of the Levenside • waiting
for the report of the judicial proceedings at St. Ilelena. For
this abstinence we think we deserve some credit, considering
the tfierts of certain gallant newspaper correspondents to
prejudge the question. We deem it our duty, however, to
place on record the following notice of a CAW alarmingly
similar, which has appeared in a Scotch contemporary.
" Greenock—Aug. 26. Letters have been received by the
owners of the Elizabeth of this port, from Calcutta, for Lon-
don, from the master, Mr. Cheyne, annuuteing that be had
been forced to put into Mauritius on 20th J one, for pro-
tection, the military on board, 90 in number, partly govern-
meat and partly East India Company's troops—having
become unmanageable and aaaaulting the officers of the ship,
who could get no redress, the military officers in command
neglecting or refusing to do their duty. On one occasion
the surgeon, in the employ of the owners, had got drunk and
was put in arrest by the master, but released by the military
' officer in command, who stated that the master had no right
or authority to do so without consulting him. Truly these
military officers seem to be taking most unwarrantable
liberties upon the high seas of late ; and it is absolutely
I necessary for the safety of our mercantile marine that at
matters in this case, as well as that of the Levenside, shall
undergo a strict and impartial investigation. It is proper
to state that the troops en hoard the Elizabeth are ime.tly
invalids, portions of dfferentregiments." —Urcenock.ltica-

ORAND BANQUET OF THE PRINCIPALITY
TO ROBERT STEPHENSON, ESQ., M.P.

BANGOR, AVOVST 27.
The ovation which hoe this day been accorded to
wit eminent and justly relehnited engineer has proved one
of the grandest affein that the counties of Caernarvon and
Flint, or the Isle of Anglesey, have witnessed fur many a
iersi year.
It was understood that Mr. Stephenson, who arrived here
lest evening, was to " drive the last rivet" in the Britannia
tabular badge to-day but whether the report were used
figaratively is reference In the banquet,or literally, because
one of the holt% about SO yards from the Caernarvon side, •
remain" to he driven " Mule" sonic two niches, an opera-
tion which it has been reserved fur Mr. Stephenson to ac-
complish, we are unable to my. Certain it is, however,
that, at a very curly hour, vast crowds had assembled near
the tubular bridge, in the expectation of wit-
nessing that Interesting ceremony. The hammer
wee awaiting the honourable gentleman, and the olfitom
Van. in esp.-elation of his arrival, hut atter a considerable
delay public impatience became cabiusted, and the majo-
rity crowed the Strait, under the direction of guides, either
directly through the tube, or upon its summit, the latter
proving a penloas operation to many who, baring attained
es far a. the Caernarvon Tower, were compelled to retrace
their steps, owing to the stiff brace that was then blowing,
and seek the safer route. Passing from the Caernarvon
side to the centre, or Britannia lower, the noble mansion
of the Marquis of Amtlysta, and the summer residence of
Admiral Sir Junes Gordon, were full in view. The elegant
craft in the Menai Straits, decorated fur the occasion with
flags, and the steamers in toll sail tar beneath, all formed a
asisp du if difficult to describe. Having at length reached
the Anglssea side, the visitors walked about two miles to
the Menai Suspension-bridge.
About halt a mile from this the George Hotel is situated,
the grounds of which, on this occasion, have been fitted up
with a very niciAnifiecut pavi•ion, capable of accommoda-
ting upwards of five liiinilre.l guests. The interior of this
gigantic tent was entirely line,) with cerise and white mus-
lin ; the roof, Montt teet high, arranged into a beautiful
network, with IcatuoiLl at interval% and Lin-shaped brackets
at the sides.

11w company, amounting to upwards of 350 gentlemen,
assembled in the large coffee-room of the George Hotel at
live o'clock ; th ladies were at once conducted to their
meats In the north galcries, and during the evening partook
of refreshments in the inlyucent coin.. Shortly before six,

Mr. Roomy were also among the guests.
On the removal of the cloth, the hon. chairman proposed
the first toast, " Iler Most Gracious Majesty the Queen,"
which was received with the greatest enthusiasm, followed
by the National Anthem. A very pretty elfect was pro-
duced at this juncture by a royal salute fired from the Fairy
yacht, !scowl in the Strait below the Panama.
The llou. Chairman next ',reposed the health, of
" Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales (Tywysog Cymru),
and the rest of the royal family," which was enthusiasti-
cally received, and followed by a national air on the harp

PROPOSED SALE OF THE NEXT PRESEN-
TATION TO THE FAMISH OF ST. LUKE.
CHELSEA.

Yesterday being the day appointed for the sale by
auction of this valuable church preferment, a large number
of the inhabitantsof the extensive parish of Chelsea attended
fur the purpose of witnessing the proceedings, amongst
whom were Mr. Ryder, tho chairman of the Board of
Guardians ; Mr. Junes, the emveocr of a local meeting to
tonskler the propriety of endeavouring to secure the presen-
tation to the parish, and other influential Inhabi-
tants. After the sale of other properties, which are
reported in " Public Sales," the auctioneer (Mr.
Aldermen Farebrother), stated that he had to offer
the next presentation (subject to the life of the present in-
cumbent, now in the 70th year of Ns age) to the Rectory of
N. Luke's, Chelsea. which consisted of the detached lice-
tory-house, with offices and gardens, extending to 3: acres
of ground, together with 213 urea of glebe land, let on builds
log leases for lives which, together with the commuted rent
charge in lieu of tithe., create an income of 1,6441. is. 2d.
per annum; with a prospect of a further increase of 1,300/.
per annum es the lives upon which the gls.bs lands are let
drop in. The rector, during his incumbency, has also the
right of nomination to the ministry of the Old Church, now
the parish chapel, producing about 300 f. per annum, the
' present incumbent in his hard year. After reading
the above particulars, the auctioneer stated that
the heavy duties of the parish required the
assistance of two curates, whose salaries, together with
highway rates, &c., caused a deduction of 21171. Irom the
annual income, and said that, taking every source of income,
patronage, and reversionary interest into c.insideration,
seisirding to the tables, the value was about 16,0001., but it
was for bidders to decide what it was worth. The auc-
tioneer then invited any person in the company to make
any observation, or ask any questions, but a (lead silence
was maintained, and the lot was put up at 6,000/. and the
biddings went on by 1001. each, until they reached 0,5001.,
at which price the hammer fell, and the auctioneer declared
the property was not sold.
