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 was
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 begged
that his humble acknowledgment might be conveyed to
the American President for the hi gh compliment paid his
ifl
humble services in the cause of suffering humanity. The
watch bore the following inscription :—" Presented to
Captain Joseph Clark by 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.

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.
eneral 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.

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 wheel of
a cart. The cart suddenly moved on, and the wheel passed
over the body of the child, who was killed instantaneously.
It appeared that the carter, whose name was John Toole,
was standing at the head of his horse, and that the child
was in such a position that the carter could not have seen
him, or been aware of the danger.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT BIRKENHEAD.-011 Wednesday

FRANCE

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING

News from Spain there is none to-day—none
from anywhere else. The Government declares
the whole country to be perfectly tranquil, with the
exception of Saragossa, and it is affirmed that
there the better classes are desirous of putting an
end to the struggle by submission, and that it is
but a turbulent minority that still holds out.

It is reported that the King of Saxony will, per-
haps, assist at the interview that is shortly to take
place at Toplitz between the Emperor of Austria
and King of Prussia.
The Commission appointed to try the persons
criminated in the late outrage near Giurgevo, when
a French soldier was murdered, has sentenced the
Austrian Lieutenant Czack to the loss of his com.
mission and five years' imprisonmen t. The cor-
poral who actually fired the shot will be tried by a
higher tribunal, the one that condemned his officer
not being competent to pass so severe a sentence
as it is expected his crime will be found to deserve.
The Emperor is expected in Paris on Monday,
August 4. He will go to a review at Luneville on
Saturday.

An imperial decree opens to the Minister of State,
from the budget of 1856, an extraordinary credit of
110,000 fr. applicable to the expenses of the fete of
August 15. Another decree opens to the same
minister a supplementary credit of 120,000 fr. over
and above the 400,000 fr. accorded for the baptism
of the Prince Imperial.
Prince Lucien Buonparte, in accordance with
the orders of the Emperor, left St. Sebastian, and
arrived on Sunday last at St. Jean de Luz, on the
French territorry. A. Basque fete is about to be
organised in his honour.

The Moniteur announces the arrival at Bucharest,
on the 16th inst , of Baron de Talleyrand Perigord,
the French Commissioner for the settlement of the
question of the Danubian Principalities.
General Gortschakoff, of the Russian Artillery,
and brother of the ex commander•in•chief of the
army in the Crimea, who has been in Paris for the
last three days, yesterday visited the Polytechnic
School and examined all its details.

At the Bourse there was but little talk of the
affairs of Spain, but the Rente was heavy, owing to
an unexpected rise in the rate of carrying over. 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 firmness of this
security prevented the Rente from falling to any
great extent. Railways were in some request
during the last half hour, and many lines were
quoted with an improvement of 2f or a
