Her Majesty's yacht Victoria and Albert and the
Fairy left port this morning for Holyhead, where they
are ordered to be in readiness by Monday next, to em-
bark the Queen and Court retinue for Kingstown, Dub-
lin. The Black Eagle Admiralty yacht also left port
this morning in the same direction, and the Blenheim,
60 (screw), has her steam up to follow them to Kings-
town. Her Majesty and the Court, as well as the offi-
cers of the yacht, will have a more comfortable voyage
this trip than hitherto, owing to the use of the anthra-
cite fuel, with Colonel Coffin's steam jets fitted to her
furnaces, by which no smoke or ashes issue from the
funnel—thus abolishing the nuisances of smuts in the
eyes and on the clothes of all on deck, and covering the
decks with the dust from the flues which the ordinary
coal throws upon them.
