The Fire Queen, dispatch-vessel, Master Commander
F. W. Paut, arrived in Portsmouth harbour at mid- ,
night (Thursday), having conveyed Governor Bell and
his wife, Lady Catherine, from Guernsey to Wey-
mouth. The governor was highly respected at the
Channel Islands, and receive] most marked demonstra-
tions on his departure. Nearly the whole of the in-
habitants, as well as the authorities, crowded the quays
and heights, cheering until the Fire Queen was out of
hearing ; the numerous boats were well-Manned outside
and tossed their oars. The Fire Queen would have
accomplished the passage in six hours but that the
weather set in badly, blowing strongly from the north-
east, attended with an unusually heavy fog, and a nasty
beam sea, which rendered it exceedingly uncomfortable
for the aged lady, she beii,g upwards of 80 years of age,
and named after the great Empress Catherine. The
Fire Queen left Guernsey at ten a.m., and arrived at
Weymouth at six p.m., reaching Portsmouth Harbour
at L3O a.m.
