MIR MAJESTY'S CRTIISE.

SOITTR4MPTON, WEDNFsDAT EVENING.—The Royal Mail
steamer Despatch, Gigot B tb)t, arrived this evening from
Jersey. She reports having seem, at a quarte'r-past seven
this morning, the Royal Yacht entering Alderney, with
her Majesty, the Prince Consort, ac., on board, all well.

In the provision that her Majesty's excursion might
extend as far' as Havre, orders were given to have measures
taken to salute her Majesty, and two detachments of
Artillerymen were pDste3, one on the Place de Provence
and the other on the southern battery, where they re-
mained the greater part of the afro/lion without their
services being called into requisition. Pilots were
also directed to proceed out into the roadstead, in case
the royal yacht might require any assistance.

PREZ PUBLIC MUSEUM.—The number of visitors to the
Museum during the present month is considerably in advance
of the last three years—'he numbers presenting a total of
11,092, and a daily average of 926. A very large propor-
tioa of these are• Excursionists, to whom the Museum
evidently appears to be one of the leading attractions of the
town..

THE TUG,STEAKUR RE3OLUIS. —We hare before mode
favourable mention of the new tug-steamer Resolute. We
may now remark that she towed the clipper ship
L'ghtning from Liverpool to the D)wns in 90 hours.
Her average speed in towing tho Lightning has thus been
about eiArknots per hour—a most wonderful performance,
and proves the Resolute to be getting better as she grows
older.

LAY AN-SOCIATION IN Eternal' OF THE MISSIONARY
aortas's OF THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.—A deputation
from the above Association, consisting of the Very
Rev. Principal Tutloch, and the Re►. ➢r. Park, of
St. Andrews, (forsaerly of this town) are to preach
on Sabbath first, in St. Andrew's Scotch Church,
Rodney-street, morning and evening, and in the Scotch
Church, Oldham-street, morning and afternoon, when
aollec-ions are to be made in support of the society.
DIIATU 0,2 ARTHUR HEN DERSOM ESQ.—It is. our painful
duty this morning to announce the demise of Arthur Hen-
derson, Esq,., merchant. Mr. Henderson has been long and
favourably known among the mercantile community of
Liverpool. He was for some years member of the Town
Council for West Derby Ward, and enj3yed the reputation
of being a painstaking and laborious councillor. He was
strongly conservative in politics. In social life he was a
most cheerful and agreeable companion. A large circle of
friends and acquaintances are left to mourn the demise of
one they esteemed, in every sense of the word,

ERRATUM, —A typograpLical,rror occurred in our reilprl
of the trial of Henry Rogers, William Miles, and Charles
Edward Seymour, convicted of murder on the high seas,
which in justice to the unhappy men we hasten to correct.
At the conclusion of the report it was. sated, that "the
prisoners left the dock wi eh a light and firm step as. if 'in
bravado•;" it should be " with a light and firm step,
but without bravado" Indeed at no part of their pro-
tracted trial did any of the miser-able men exhibit the
least iusensibili y to. their painful and ignominious
position. We may here state, that not only was the
verdict and sentence received with savage exaltation by
the large crowd of men and women who were congregated
in St. George's 1-1 ill, but when Mr. Baron Watson left
the court, the crowd followed his carriage for some dis-
tance loudly cheering.
LADIES our or COURT.—The appearance of the Crown
Court yesterday was, as usual, enliven, d by the presence of
a large number of fashionably dressed ladies in the Grand
Jury seats and :other parts of the Court. When the case
in which the surgeon Bride was charg:d cams on, none of
the ladies showed the slightest intention of wiehdrawin.
The case was -stated, and although the statement and
reading of the depositions involved details of a character one
might have thought no woman would willingly hear in the
presence of a court crowded with men, the ladies sat them
out with undisturbed composure. At last Mr. Tindal Atkin-
son, the prisoner's counsel, appealed to the Judge, declaring
that the questians he had to put were such as he was
most reluctant to utter in the presence of females. His
Lordship ordered that all women should leave the exert,
and the ladies had to quit their seats and withdraw,
wondering, no doubt, at Sr ungracious a mandate. This
is the second time wi hie two or three days that
females had to be thes reminded that details have sumo
times to be discussed in courts of justice whieh modest
women are not supposed to take pleasure in hearinee
Surely the time of any oF our Liverpool ladies c innot be so
utte.ly barren of useful obj.Tts and occupations that no
better means can be devised far spending th s day than in
listening to the details of abortion and violation caeca.

Ateconnts from Vienna state that G-ineral Gustavus Yon
Dengenteld, one of the mJst distinguished officers in the
Aestrian service, has blown out his brains from a disap-
rintment in love. The deceased was 59 years old.
The Paris Pays says that despatches have ben received
in England torn the Governor of the Cape of Gaud
Ft l'aerg that in consequence of an expected outbreak of the
Koricirs, he cannot spare the two regiments for India which
have been asked for.
THE ROYAL SURREY GARDENS.—NO'ATithStriIIiDg the
popularly of Mr. Spurgeon and the attractive entertain-
ments which have been provided, the Royal surrey Ger-
dens Company are in difficulties, and a petition for wind-
ing-un has been presented to the Court of Birokraptoy.
Mr. Commissioner Fane has fixed Saturday next for hear-
ing the petition.
ROYAL AGRICULTURAL IMPROVRMENIT SJCICTY OF IRE-
LAND —The annual exhibition and meetings of this society
commenced at Waterford oa Monday. There are between
six and seven hundred exhibitors, besides those who send
machines and implements. Tire trial of ploughs and other
imp!oraeuls has excited much interest. The Lord Lien.
tenant, 'Who will be the zuest of the Marquis af Waterford,
is expected to be present at the latter part of the pro-
ceedings.
DREADFUL °cougars :c Tuesday morning a most
painful sensation was created in the nerghtr;nirle.oird of
Plloa tead, in consevenee of a ma'; named
Harper, aged 47, .being nearly torn to pieces by a horse.
It appears that the unfortunate in in went into the stab's
for the purp As of feeding the animal, when it seized him
by the hair of the head, and comneni.eij to bite him over
the head and face in a most frightful m.anner, shaking him
like a dog. With difficulty ho was extricate'!" and en-
veved to St. Thomas's liospitA. Nu hopes are eater taim:d
of his recovery.
THE CONDEMNED CONVICTS IN MAIDSTONE GAOL.—
Tilese unfortunate culprits remain in precisely the same
state as at oar last notice—Fox penitent and rent&ssive.
Edwards stilt obstinately persisting in his innocence. A
petition in favour of the latter has during the past week
been got up, and presented to the secretary of State,
trrgng that the evidence was of a circumstantial character,
and in solne points inconsistent with the prisoner's guilt;
but we believe it was by no mean; numerously signed,
and there is not the least hope it will succeed. Noltriends
'of either of the prisoners have as yet visited them. The
condemned sermon was preached by the chaplain, the Rev.
Watson King, on Sunday last, from Job xiv. 10. The
execution is fixed for Taursday next, the 20th instaat,
and though the warrant hid not yesterday Cdonday) 35,eu

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.

PARIS, AUGUST 19.

The Emperor and Empress and the Prince Im-
perial arrived at Bayonne yesterday morning, ab
half-past 10 o'clock, and were received with the
most enthusiastic acclamations. Although the Im-
perial party had expressed a desire to travel in-
cognito, several triumphal arches had been erected in
the town, and an immense crowd was assembled in
the streets to welcome their Majesties, who, after
short pause, proceeded to Biarritz, where they
arrived a little before eleven o'clock, in excellent
health. A special train had arrived some hours
before at Bayonne, with six carriages and twenty
horses for the service of their Majesties. Prince
Napoleon is to go to the Sardinian frontier, to
compliment King Victor Emmanuel on the occasion
of the junction of the French and Piedmonteser
lines of railway, at which his Majesty will be pre-
sent. It is said that the Prince will afterwards
make a tour in Italy.
An unlicensed broker, named Joseph Collon,
doing business on the Paris Bourse, was sentenced
yesterday by the police court of Paris, to imprison-
ment for two months and a fine of 100 f. for having
publicly asserted that the conspirators to asses,.
sinate the Emperor, for which the conspirators
were lately convicted before the Court of Assize,
was a plot got up by the police to influence the
elections.

A newspaper relates that a curious cause is about
Ito be tried before the Civil Tribunal of the Seine.
Tiquet, a rich carpet manufacturer, died a
short time ago in consequence of a fall he had had
amidst a contusio'i of vehicles, at the entrance of
the Rue du Faubourg Montmartre. By his will he
left to the city of Paris a legacy of 500,000 f., to be
applied' to the construction of a bridge for foot pas-
6engers over the boulevard, and connecting the'
streets Montmartre and Faubourg Montmartre,
that being the spot where he met with his accident.
His heirs dispute the validity of this legacy, which
the city of Paris defends, subject to the fulfilment
of tho condition anivxed to it. The vacation over,
the Tribunal will decide between the litigants.
Shoulci the legacy he confirmed by its decision,
the construction of the aerial bridge will show
whether .such erections are convenient and desira-
ble, a quek3tion that has of late been not unfrc-
queutly ciivcussed.
