AUGUST 3.

This morning the ships in this harbour fired a
royal salute at eight o'clock. Shortly after the Earl
of Bandon, lieutenant of .the county of Cork, pro-
ceeded on board the Victoria and Albert, and paid
his respects to her Majesty and his Royal Highness
Prince Albert. The Marquis of Thomond, Rear-
Admiral Sir M. Dixon, and Major-General Turner,
commanding the district, had also the honour of being
received by her Majesty on deck.
The following officers were subsequently presented
to the Queen :—The naval officers commanding the
vessels in the harbour, and the staff of the major-
general commanding the district.
His Royal Highness the Prince landed in the
morning, and walked for some time, attended by
Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. A. Gordon.

At two o'clock her Majesty and his Royal High-
ness and suite embarked on board the Fairy, and,
after making a circuit of the harbour, proceeded to
the town of Cove, where a temporary building, of
very handsome proportions, had been erected, in the
hope that her Majesty might be pleased here to land
first upon Irish ground. -
Her Majesty, upon the arrival of the Fairy off the
temporary wharf, received addresses from the inhabi-
tants of Cove and the members of the Itoyal Yacht
Club.

The Queen and the Prince then stepped on shore,
amidst the roar of artillery and the most deafening
acclamations of the thousands who covered every inch
of ground within sight of the landing-place.
Her Majesty having entered the temporary apart-
ment, which was splendidly decorated, stood in front
of a throne, when a humble request having been made
to her Majesty that the town might hereafter be called
Queenstown, in commemoration of the royal visit, her
Majesty was pleased to give her consent, and a flag
bearing the name by which the town was in future to
be called was immediately hoisted upon the building,
amid the shouts of the inhabitants.

Th 3 Queen immediately re-embarked on board the
Fairy, and proceeded up the river towards Cork,
escorted by the royal steamer Vivid, commanded by
Lieatenant Smithett, and the Banshee, by Master-
Commander Smithett. At Passage the royal yacht
wss stopped, some fishermen having prayed to be
allowed to present a salmon, with an address, as a
testimony of their loyalty. The offering of these
poor men was graciously received by her Majesty.
Upon her Majesty's arrival at Cork addresses were
presented on the deck of the yacht by the Mayor and
corporation of Cork, the Bishop and clergy of the
diocese, the Roman Catholic clergy of the diocese,
and the merchants, bankers, and traders.. .

Her Majesty was pleased to confer the honour of
knighthood upon the Mayor of Cork.
The Queen and Prince then entered one of Lord
Bandon's carriages, and proceeded, attended by their
suite, through the principal streets of the town,
amidst the enthusiastic shouts of her Irish subjects.
Her Majesty and his Royal Highness returned on
board of the royal yacht Victoria and Albert at about
a quarter before seven o'clock.
In the evening the Marquis of Thomond, the Earl
of Bandon, Rear-Admiral Sir M. Dixon, and Major-
General Turner (commanding the district) had the
honour of joining the royal dinner party on board the
yacht.
The junior branches of the Royal Family re-
mained on board the Victoria and Albert during the
day.

quarter past four o'clock.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT—SIX LIVES Lost--On
the afternoon of Thursday, the 19th July, a boat be
longing to the Rev. Mr. Finlayson, clergyman of the
Free Church at Lochs, Island of Lewis, went out on a
fishing excursion. There were on board of the boat
Donald and Robert Finlayson, sons of the reverend
gentleman, Donald Macauley, son of Captain Macaulay,
Stornoway, and three other young men belonging to
Luerbost, Lochs. On Thursday evening, the boat not
arriving, some alarm was naturally excited, and on Friday
morning a strict search was made, when, melancholy to
relate, the boat was found bottom up, on an island called
Tays, near the Bisken Isle., with the sheet of the lug-
sail made fast. This had been cut by some one on board,
seemingly at the last moment, near to the caring of the
sail, but too late to save the young men. On Saturday,
four of the bodies were found—three of them near to
the place where it is supposed the boat was upset—viz.,
Mr. Finlayson's son (the youngest of the two on board),
and two of the other young men. The body of Mr.
Finlayson's eldest son was found at the rock where the
boat had struck, and it appeared when the boat had upset
he had got on hor bottom, as his boots were off, and he
had evidently made a struggle for his life, his hands
being scratched and bruised seemingly in his attempt '„0
get up the steep rocks of the island. This is one o; the
most lamentable accidents that has occurred
in this
island for many years.—lnverness Courier.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

Vienna papers and letters of the Ist inst. confirm
the statements of the advance of llungarian troops
into Moldavia. The Hungarian corps which thus
endeavours to transplant the war into the Danubian
provinces is of the strength of 5,000 foot and 1,000
horse. It appears that after the total defeat of the
Ban Jellachich it was thought some of the forces in
Transylvania might be spared for the purpose of ex-
pelling the Russians from the Danubian principalities.
The 6,000 Hungarians that entered Moldavia at-
tacked the Russian General Ustragoff, and forced him
to retire to a fortified position, whence he dispatched
messengers calling in the help of the Russian troops
at Jassy. Couriers were likewise sent to the Russian
General Grotenhelm, and to the troops stationed in
Bessarabia. The troops from Jassy have consequently
marched to oppose the progress of the Hungarians,
and that city is now entirely free from Russian
soldiers and occupied by Moldavian militia.
Official reports from General] Grotenhelm have
reached Vienna. That officer is stated to have ad-
vanced from Bistritz with the whole of his corps. On
the 22d he was attacked by the Hungarians, who
had taken up positions on the heights of Szasz Regen.
The battle lasted one hour, and ended by the retreat
of the Hungarians to Marosh Vasarhelz. As usual,
nothing is said of the losses of the Russians, but the
General states that he has been informed of a Honved
battalion, which was concealed in a wood near Deda,
having been very troublesome to his troops.
