On arriving at Surley, the various crews landed on

provided by her Majesty's confectioner.
At nine o'clock the boats returned to Windsor, and
were received by the cheers of many thousands of
spectators assembled on the wharfs and shores of the

A grand display of fireworks from the Little Eyat ter-
minated the festivities of the evening.
The R•iyal party left the Brocas soon after the boats
started for Surley.

ROYAL ARTILLERY, WOOLWICH, JUNE 4.—The
whole of the Royal Artillery assembled on the Parade-
ground at nine o'clock A.I.D to-day, and marched to
Woolwich- common, under the command of Colonel Crut-
tenden, the Royal Horse Artillery under Lieutenant-
Colonel Bell. The line formed into three battalions, the
right under Lieutenant-Colonel Furneaux, the centre
under Lieutenant-Culonel Ingilby, and the left under
Lieutenant-Colonel Weide, and the field batteries under
Lieutenant-Colonel Anlerson, twenty rounds having
been served out to each of the guns of the Royal Horse
Artillery, and twelve rounds for each carabine. At
half-past nine o'clock Field-Marshal the Marquis of
Anglesey, K.G., G.C.8., G.C.R., Master-General of the
Ordnance, arrived on the parade-ground, and was re-
ceived by L4utenant-General Sir Thomas Downman,
C. 8., K.C.IL, Commandant of the Garrison ; Mejor-
General Sir Hew D. Ross, K.C.8., Deputy Adjutant-

General of Artillery; Colonel Campbell, -Brigade-Major
Bingham, Captain Tylden, Assistant Quartermaster-
General of Artillery ; Captain Wingfield, riding-house
establishment ; and the adjutants of battalions off duty.
The Master-General, accompanied by the staff, then
proceeded to the common, and was received with
the usual salute, the band playing the National An-
them, and afterwards made a very minute inspection
of the Royal Horse Artillery and the field batteries.
The whole of the corps then marched past at quick
time, and proceeded, by troops of Royal Horse Artillery,
battalions and field batteries, to take up their position for
the manoeuvres of a field day. The exercises of the day
having concluded, the whole of the corps advanced in
line, when the Master-General, with the staff, rode up
to Colonel Cruttenden, and the officers in charge of di-
visions, and complimented them on the manner in which
the evolutions were gone through. The whole of the
troops then marched past at quick time to barracks.
Previous to leaving the ground the Ma.tcr- General
caused the gentlemen cadets, a great number of whom
were present, to assemble, and addressed theta in the
kindest manner, expressing his hope that they were
conducting themselves to the satisfaction of their authori-
ties and teachers, as their future success in life de-
pended greatly upon their unremitting attention to their
studies, and their good bAaviour while at the academy.
Field-Marshal the Alarquis of Anglesey then proceeded,
accompanied by the officers previously named, to the
Royal Arsenal, and embarked in his yacht for a cruise
down the river. It is said—but nothing, cfficially is yet
known—that the recent exercises of the Royal Artillery,
on Woolwich-common, have beon made preparatory to
a sham fight, expected to take place here daring the
present month. It is now several years since a display
of that kind took place at Woolwich, and there are now
a greater number of troops in the garrison than there
were on that occasion.

SEPARATION OF EDWIN FORREST FROM RIS WIFE.
—The New York Sunday Atlas announces that Edwin
Forrest the tragedian, has bean separated from his wire
Caroline Norton Sinclair Forrest, daughter of John
Sinclair, the vocalist. They were married in 1836 in
London, and have lived happily, as the Atlas states,
until last winter, when Mr. Forrest ecame moody and
melancholy. The Atlas says, "Ia the month of Decem-
ber Mr. Forrest returned from a professional engage-

beauty.
She has been the mother of four children, all
of whom, however, died in infancy.
Between 40,000 and 60,000 mackerel have been
caught by seine nets, close in shore, during the present
week. Such a circumstance has not before occurred for
17 years. Some of our boats have earned nearly 1001.
each. The greater part of the fish, which were very,
fine, fetched 15s. or 16s. per hundred, and were dis-
patched to London. They were retailed in our streets
at six or eight a shilling. Similar catches have been
made all along the Sussex coast. It is tho sudden
warmth of the weather which has caused these myriads
of mackerel to resort to this part of the Channel in
search of their food, which consists of smaller fry that
at this season of the year are attracted towards the
shore. The cliffs have daily been lined with spectators
to witness tho catches of mackerel by our fishermen.—
Brighton Gazette.
The freights for coals from the Tyne to London
have fallen to the unprecedented low rate of ss. lid.
per ton—a price quite inadequate to cover current ex-
penses, insurance, and interest of capital.—Newcastle

ARRIVAL OF THE HaIERM.A.
;,••
LIVERPOOL, Mosinar;qicillti, • -
The British and North American 116ya1 Mail
steam ship Hibernia, Captain Lang, has just arrived
at this port, having left Boston on the 23d ult., and
Halifax the 26th. The Ilibernia brings the mails
from Canada and the other British possessions and
the United States, and a fair complement of passen-
gers. Her dates are, from New York and Boston, to
the 23d; Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington, &c.,
22d; and from the leading cities and towns in the
western continent one week later dates than those re-
ceived by the America.
We learn by this arrival that the Canada steam-
ship had arrived out at New York on the 17th, after
eleven days and a half's passage.
The Caledonia arrived at Halifax on the 24th, and
proceeded to Boston.
The Hibernia brings 50 passengers, including Mr.
Macready, who, previously to his departure from
Boston, presented 1,000 dollars to the families of the
unfortunate men who fell in the late riots. Our ac-
counts from Canada are brief, but important; they
are, moreover, satisfactory.
The province continued undisturbed by factious
violence. Telegraphic intelligence from Montreal,
under date the 21st ult., announces that an address
had been presented to his Excellency Lord Elgin in
favour of removing the seat of Government to Quebec
and Toronto four years alternately, the majority
on the division being five votes. The city of Mon-
treal is tranquil. The business of legislation pro-
ceeded with tranquillity. Lady Elgin has been con-
' fined of a son.

AMERICAN N

Mr. Cayley has been deputed by the Tories to
represent their cause in London, and Ur. Ilincks,
who arrived by the last steamer, was reported to be
the destined advocate of the Ministerial pOlicy. The
University Bill had passed the Lower Rouse.
From the United States the political intelligence
is interesting.
It was reported that Captain Charles Wilkes, of
the late exploring expedition, will be sent- out as
Commander of one of the vessels to be dispatched in
search of Sir John Franklin.

The admission of California as a state nest session
was considered probable.
It was rumoured that the President would lay Mr.
Labouchere's Bills for the repeal of the navigation-
laws before Congress, as a proper subject of legislation.
The cholera continued its ravages. General Worth
had fallen a victim to the epidemic.
The steamer United States, previously sold to the
Prussian Government, had been detained on the
ground of neutrality, by order of the -United States'
Cabinet. If, however, the Prussian Minister would
engage under security that the ships should not
interfere with Denmark, the prohibition would be
withdrawn.

The excitement at New York, relative to the late
tragedy at the Opera House, had subsided consi-
derably.
The steamer Empire was sunk by collision on the
17th ultimo, in the river Hudson, eighty miles above
New York. The accounts published of the occur-
rence report twenty lives lost.
The city of Saint Louis was almost totally de-
stroyed by fire on the 18th ultimo : 41S houses and
25 steam-boats were consumed. The estimated loss
is 6,000,000 dollars.

The city of New Orleans, after being for some
time afflicted with cholera. which swept away many
of its citizens, is now threatened with even a more
fearful and irresistible foe in the overwhelming waters
of the Mississippi.
_ _ _

The city lies below the high water level of this
great river, and is guarded, as Holland is from the in-
road of the sea, by dykes, or levees, as they are called,
along the Mississippi. A portion of one of these
levees above the city having been carried away, the
waters were passing rapidly through the opening,
overcoming all efforts to stop the breach, inundating
the plantations below, and actually pouring through
some of the streets of the city. Our latest dates by
mail are the 13th ult., when in many quarters the
inhabitants were already driven by the invading
waters to take refuge in the upper stories of their
houses. Business, of course, must be materially
checked by such a state of things.
From California the accounts are 22 days later.
The advices are important. According to one ac-
count the Californians refused to recognise General
Smith, who was sent out as military Governor of
the territory, and had taken steps to organize a Go-
vernment for themselves.

According to another, he had virtually taken back
the prohibition which he had issued at Panama for-
bidding foreigners to dig for gold at the " placers,"
and had organized a good police at San Francisco,
and executed his authority without hindrance ; but
what is certain is, that the people had resolved to sum-
mon an assembly to sit at San Francisco and frame
such laws as may be necessary for the preservation of
order and the regulation of trade.
This body is to consist of fifteen members. Three
judges are also to be chosen—all by universal suffrage,
of course.
This organization, it is understood, was to go into
effect immediately.
Several meetings had been held at San Francisco
to propose the introduction of the slave trade.
The report of the discovery of gold in Oregon is
contradicted.
The mail steamer California still lay motionless at
San Francisco. There had been a mutiny on board
the United States ship-of-war Ohio, owing to the
desire of the men to get off to the gold region. Some
thirty men have been put in irons by the Commodore,
and many would be hung.
Mexican accounts state that the duty which had
hitherto been levied on gold imported from Upper
California into Mexico had been removed.
The robbers on the road from Vera Cruz to the
city of Mexico were more bold and active than ever.
From the revolted districts there is nothing new.
St. Domingo advices state that in three battles the
Haytians had been defeated. No prisoners were
spared, and in retreating the Haytians burnt Azua.
Venezuelan affairs were in confusion.
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YOUR, Mar 22.—Money is easily had at 5 per
cent. payment on demand, and six per cent. for good
paper. The banks on Saturday had in their vaults about
Si millions of dollars in coin. There were some two
millions more in the Sul:-Treasury, making an aggre-
gate as large within half a million as we have ever had
here.

United States stocks immediately felt the impulse of
this overflowing money-market. United States Sixes,
of '6B, with coupons, sold to-day at 1141, and Treasury
notes at 111; Ohio Seven per Cents., 1851, at 102;
Kentucky Six per Cents., 1041; Indiana Bonds, 401;
Alabama Five per Cents., 63; Pennsylvania Five per
Cents., 52i; and Maryland Six per Cents., 991. Bills
on London are held at 81 per cent., at which figure sales
are made.
Our imports, although fallen off somewhat this week,
still largely exceeded, as heretofore, our exports. The
imports over and above those sent to the warehouse
amounted to 1,217,419 dolls.; the exports, 714,626 dolls.
Cotton—Prices are gradually stiffening, and ie. had
been paid above the rates quoted for good ordinary and
middling; and for middling Gulf Cottons 74c. was freely,
offered, and Uplands Tic. New Orleans, Florida Up-
lands, inferior, 6fc; ordinary, 64c. Exports and receipts
of cotton at the ports so far this season, in 1,000 bales—
' To Great Britain, 1,275; France, 280; others, 242; re-
ceipt, 2,518.
Breadstuffs, &e.—The flour market continues to mani-
fest firmness; sales of 4,000 barrels at 4 dolls. 321 c. to
6 dolls. 2ic , the former for common, and the latter
for straight brands and States and Western. Sales of
1,000 bushels Ohio red wheat at 104 c.; sales to the ex-
tent of 4,000 bushels, all round, at 62c. to 63c. for
northern yellow.
Frcights—Cotton to Liverpool, id. to 3 -16ths of s

sexes, was held last evening, at the Londrai Tavern. In
the absence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam-
bridge, the duties of the chair were efficiently discharged
by F. IL Goldsmid, Esq., the President of the institss-.
tion. In the course of proposing the customary hold
toasts, the chait man alludedto the circumstance of hueßoyal Highness the Duke of Sussex having been for
many years the patron of their• society, and that his
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge had since most
.efficiently supplied the void which his demise had occa-
sioned. The Chairman subsequently proposed, " Suc-
cess to the Jews' Hospital," and in so doing took occa-
sion to remark that whilst, by their peculiar religious
opinions, their body were precluded from availing them-
selves of the benefits of the poonlaw, they had to con-
tribute to its maintenance. In fact, they were in a; worse
position than if no poor-law existed. The toast of
" Civil and Religious Liberty" was acknowledged by the
Rev. Dr. Mortimer, the Rev. Dr. Cox, and the Rev.
George Smith. In the course of the evening, the ap-
prentices connected with the society's chair manufactory,
cabinet manufactory, and ladies' shoe manufactory, were
introduced, and exhibited specimens of their workman-
ship, which reflected upon them the greatest credit. The
circumstance of three ministers of the Christian religion
attending the festival was alluded to as a most gratify-
ing fact, and as showing the improved feeling which pre.
vailed in the religious community. The result of the
festival was about 6001.
The weather has now assumed all the charactGr-
istics of summer, and vegetation has made extraordinary
progress within the last ten days. The country presents
a beautiful appearance, and the wheats are everywhere
looking strong and healthy.—Newcastle Journal.
