THE SHIP CLYMENE

TO TIIE EZ

Your report in the Northern Daily Times of
this day, of the inquiry into the stranding of the ship
Clymene on the Kish Bank, on the 3rd instant, held at
St. George's Hall yesterday, before Mr. Preston, deputy
stipendiary magistrate, is slightly inaccurate, with regard
to the decision arrived at by Mr. Preston, and his nau-
tical assessor, Captain Harris, inasmuch as Captain Har-
rison's certificate was not returned to him, and Mr.
Preston observed he should send it with his report to the
Board of Trade, with a strong recommendation to have
it returned as soon as possible to Captain Harrison, as
he (Mr. Preston) and his assessor considered that a
severe reprimand by the board would sufficiently meet
the justice of the case.---4 am, sir, your obedient servant,

COURT AND OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Her Majesty, his Royal Highness the Prince Consort,
and the Royal Family, attended by the Ladies and Gen-
tlemen in Waiting, arrived at 'Osborne on Tuesday
morning from Aldershott Camp.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Nemours arrived
on Wednesday on a visit to her Majesty.

The Queen' having. determined this year to perform
that portion of her journey to the Highlands between
London and Edinburgh during the night, the directors of
the Great Northern Railway were last week instructed to
make the necessary arrangements for her Majesty's con-
venience ; and Mr. Seymour Clark, general manager of
the Great Northern line, has received the royal approval
of his proposed time table for regulating the prsgress of the
Queen's journey. The train will consist of three royal
saloons, with the usual number of first-class carriages
and luggage breaks. The saloons will be fitted up in
the French style, with mattresses and sofas, for the con-
venience of their occupants. The royal party will in-
clude the Queen and the Prince Consort, the Princess
Alice, the Prince Arthur, the Princess Helena, and
the Princess Louisa. The suite in attendance upon
her Majesty and his Royal Highness will consist of
Lady Churchill, General the Hon. Charles Grey, Sir
Charles Phipps, the Hon. Horatio Stopford, and Major
Elphinstone. The Right Hon. Sir George Grey will
be the Secretary of State in attendance upon her
Majesty. The hour fixed for the Queen to leave
King's-cross station is nine o'clock on Monday even-
ing. The royal party is expected to reach Edinburgh at
ten minutes after eight o'clock on Tuesday morning,
and proceed through the park to Holyrood Palace. The
Queen will remain in Edinburgh during the day, and
sleep at Holyrood on Tuesday night. On Wednesday
morning, at nine o'clock, the royal journey northwards
will be resumed.

Despatches were received at the Colonial-office, on
Wednesday, from the Governor of Canada.

AN OLD LADY.—The commissary of police of the
district of the Rue Vivienne was, on Wednesday, called
in to record the sudden death of an old lady named
Freville, occupying a room on the Boulevard des Italiens,
and to his surprise he learned that she was not less than
104 years of age. It is believed that her death, which
took place very quietly, was hastened by the fatigue she
underwent in remaining for a length of time at her
window, on the 14th, to see the troops pass ; bat, in
spite of all that could be said to her, she persisted in
seeing the spectacle to the end, because, she said, it re-
minded her of the triumphal entry into Paris of General
Bonaparte and the army of Italy, upwards of fifty
years ago.

FATAL ACCIDENTS TO TOURISTS.—" A sad affair,"
says the Paris Union, "has occurred at Bagneres de
Luchon, in the Pyrenees. An English clergyman, the
Rev. Mr. B—, an archdeacon, on Friday last ascended

with some friends and a guide the
.mountain called the
Col du Port de Venasque. Arrived nearly at the top,
where visitors generally stop, he resolved to go to the
very summit, though told that the ascent was dangerous,
and he went alone, refusing to allow even the guide to
accompany him. Hours passed away, and he did not
return. Nothing having been seen or heard of him up
to Monday, several guides were sent out to search, and
after some time discovered his dead body dreadfully
mutilated at the bottom of an abyss near the Port de
Venasque. The rev. gentleman, who was to have set
out on Monday for England, was a great pedestrian, and
bad ascended Mont Blanc."
