()REIGN Fauurs.—The arrivals of fruits from the
Continent for the supply of the metropolitan markets
have recently been of the most extensive character. The
steam-ship Rainbow, from Rotterdam, has brought 53
baskets of plum., 35 of pears, 59 of apples, 398 of cur-
rants, and 809 baskets of other kinds of fruit; the Bata-
vier, also from Rotterdam, 2,300 baskets of currants,
174 of pears, some of melons, and 473 baskets of other
descriptions of fruits; the City of Rotterdam, from Rot-
terdam, 2,300 baskets of currants, 80 of plums, and 108
of other kinds of fruit, all of Dutch produce; the An-
twerpen, from Antwerp, 504 baskets of different sorts of
fruits, the growth of Belgium; the Vnezuela, from Havre,
260 baskets of various kinds of French produce; and the
William Jolliffe' from Havre, 700 baskets, the produce
of France; the Giraffe, from Rotterdam, 827 baskets of
fruit of various kinds, of Dutch produce; the Soho, from
Antwerp, 904 baskets of different kinds, the growth of
Belgium; the Apollo, from Rotterdam, 45 baskets of
walnuts, 199 of pears, some of plums, cherries, and
melons, 3,253 baskets of currants, and 200 of other kinds
of fruit, the production of Holland. These extensive
importations of foreign fruit,
especially of currants, must
be an important feature in the supplies to the markets of
the metropolis, and are necessarily of considerable im.
portance with reference to purchases for preservation for
culinary and domestic use. We believe that fruits of all
kinds are so plentiful in Holland this season, that it
would be competent for that particular state to comply
with demands to any extent that might be required for
importation into this country.
From recent reports it appears that that great
bore, the Northam Artesian well near Southamp'on, has
now been bored to 353 feet in depth. The progress has
been impeded by a stone 22 inches thick, and the supply
of water had decreased through the decay of the rods.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND.
(From the Chronicle.)
KINGSTOWN, SUNDAY NIGHT.
In my letter of this morning I informed you that
the arrrival of the royal squadron was hourly expected
at Kingstown. Since the receipt of that dispatch
you have, I hope, been apprised by electric telegraph
that, between six and seven o'clock this evening,
the Victoria and Albert, with the quickest boats of
the squadron, actually anchored in Kingstown
Harbour.
During the day, and particularly during the latter
part of it, Kingstown became crowded to an extent
which I am sure even the " oldest inhabitant" would
pronounce to be without a parallel. All Dublin
came down to the sea side to wait and gaze. The
jetty, with its long-stretching pavilion, was crammed
with eager crowds ; and the northern and southern
sea-walls were dotted over with dusky groups of
spectators.
All the yachts in the harbour—and, as I have said,
their name was legion—wore their respective club-
flags over a display of miscellaneous colours, and some
half-dozen steamers—the Holyhead craft, with their
double funnels and raking masts, each formed out of
ane symmetrical stick—and the Dublin mail boats,
hand!. ome sea-going craft—were all gay with gaudily-
fluttering bunting.
Twice, I think, during the day there were false
alarms of her Majesty's arrival. On the south of
Dublin bay rise successive and many ridges of rocky
and heath-clad hills. One of these, in particular,
commands a fine view along the coast. On the
brown crest of Dalkey-hill—so it is called—is
perched a ruined tower, a grey crumbling pile of
mouldering walls, called Monk's-house. Tradition
says, that of old it was a place of look-out, to give
the adjacent district notice of the approach of the
swift galleys of the Norsemen. Upon the present
occasion the ruin was converted into an extempore
telegraph station. A flag-staff was erected, and
the display of the royal standard therefrom was to
be the signal of the approach of the royal squadron.
The watchman at Monk's-house was, however, an
easily persuaded person, who raised and lowered his
flag upon the slightest provocation ; and the conse-
quence was, that two several times, upon the broad
banner appearing above the battlements of Monk's-
house, her Majesty's steamer Dragon directly an-
swered the signal, got under way, and ran out of the
harbour, while the general excitement on the wharfs
and jetties of Kingstown was as infectious as it was
tumultuous.
By three o'clock in the afternoon the crowd upon
the pier and along the shore towards Dalkey was itn-
mense. The component parts of the throng in ques-
tion appeared to be principally substantial Dublin
citizens, eager, after mass and dinner, to attend to the
claims of a new duty and a new pleasure. Of course
every train from Dublin poured in fresh visitors to
the scene of action, while whole processions of cars
brought down loads of people, most liberally coated
with the dust, which was flying about in a style which
would do honour to a desert swept by the simoom.
About half-past three o'clock this afternoon, the
look-out at Monk's-house raised his-significant stan-
dard. In a very few minutes afterwards the Dolphin,
a small coasting steamer, sallied forth—her decks
and paddle-boxes one mass of human beings. She
was speedily followed by the Dragon frigate, which
steamed steadily along the coast in the direction of
Wicklow, and very shortly thereafter a detachment
If tug-steamers and yachts were making their way
in the same direction. The wind was meantime
striking the coast from the south-east, just allow-
.ng vessels bound to the west to lay their course
along the rocky shores. The breeze was not con-
siderable, but the sea was agitated by a short
tumbling swell.
About half an hour after the signal flag had been
hoisted at Monk's-house it suddenly disappeared,
and presently after the steamers which had gone out
were seen wheeling round again into the bay—the
Dragon kept on the longest. At length, however,
she also returned, but, instead of entering the har-
bour, lay head to wind in the offing. It was evident
that the alarm had been a false one, and the crowds
who thronged the jetty began to wonder whether her
Majesty ever would come at all.
At length, however, the true signal was given.
The Dragon immediately set on steam again ; the
small craft again turned their heads to the southward ;
and presently the smoke of the leading ship of the
squadron was seen over the bluff outline of Dalkey
Island.
And here let me pause a moment to describe the
famed Bay of Dublin as her Majesty would have
seen it on her entrance on a bright and summer's
afternoon.
Careering along the coast, she could not have
failed to notice the picturesque irregularity of the
blue Wicklow hills, and the dizzy height of the
precipices which here rise from out the sea. Pre-
sently, stretching across the track of the yacht, the
Royal party could perceive in the distance the
lumpish, yet bold outline of the hill of Howth,
with its white lighthouse, rising from the fragment
of cliff which projects furthest into the blue water.
Between the position which we imagine the yacht
to hold and the bold coast of Howth lies the Bay of
Dublin.

I am almost afraid to say that I think the reputa-
tion of this harbour somewhat overstated. In the
distance, the hills of Wicklow and Howth rise finely
and characteristically from the sea ; the former, in
particular, heave high—a multitudinous crowd of
conical hills and wavy ridges of purple heather.
Howth is as mountainous, but not so picturesque.
Catching then, there, as it were the horns of the bay,
the eye ranges along the intermediate coast line. Here
comes the dissappointment—it is receding, low, and
unsatisfactory. It shrinks, as it were, out of sight.
On either hand there are bold rocks and stern sea-
beaten precipices. The bay stretches timidly back,
and the eye which scans its outline is only arrested
by the faintly-seen smoke of Dublin, and the white
terraces and stretching piers rising from the sea at
Kingstown.
Entering the bay from the southward, you see
before you one or two rocky islets. The largest—
that crowned by a martello tower—is Dalkey Island,
and two or three smaller patches of sea-beaten rock
extend beyond it. The passage between Dalkey Isle
and the mainland is called " The Sound," and
through it—the strait is scarcely a musket shot in
width—the royal squadron deployed.
The Victoria and Albert led the way. Gliding
along the rocky coast, she skirted the sea face of the
succession of cliffs on which Dalkey stands. Nume-
rous marine villas here look upon the sea. From
the roofs and turrets flags flew,- and from more than
one lawn and pleasure-ground cannon pealed, and
groups of spectators, scrambling down to where
the surf washed the slippery rocks, cheered most
heartily.
But her Majesty had at this point of her route an
opportunity of witnessing what must have been to
her quite a novel species of reception. On a bluff
headling, which flings its grey rocks well into
the sea, rises a neat castellated building of stone.
This is the Nunnery of Lorette. Before it down to
the reef stretches a trim green lawn. Upon the lawn
the Postulants, the Novices, and the Sisters were
ranged in their robes of ceremony, the white and
dark dresses forming a picturesque contrast as their
wearers stood in order upon the summit of the cliff,
while in a sweet chorus of female voices they
chanted forth " God save the Queen."
In five minutes thereafter the Bay of Dublin
opened fully upon the royal squadron. The hill of
liowth heaved up its blue masses upon the northern
horizon; the land receded back from it in a long,
tame line; the white lighthouse marked the ex-
tremity of the Dublin harbour; while immediately
to leeward, across a sea dotted with the white sails
of scores of yachts, there lay extended the massive
sea-walls which engirdle the harbour of Kinstown.
The Victoria and Albert was, as I have stated,
the leading vessel of the royal squadron. The
Banshee and the Fairy followed each other closely.
As the first-named boat closed in with the pier, the
rush of people upon the jetty and the sea-walls
was something tremendous. The whole extent of
pier was a moving mass of human beings, and as the
royal yacht wheeled round into the harbour there
arose, even above the din of cannon, even above the
heavy roar of 32-pounders and the cracking ring
of yacht artillery, a succession of cheers, a re-
iteration of loud, long, roaring shouts of welcome—
acclamations of a more marked and emphatic
character than I can easily describe by words. So
far the reception was admirable. Imagine a sheet of
placid water covered with steamers, shipping, and
yachts—imagine its breakwaters and wharfs crammed
for miles in circumference with throngs of cheering
and rushing people—imagine indeed the whole expanse
one mass of waving hats and handkerchiefs—
and you have some faint idea of the scene which was
presented at the Queen's entrance into the harbour of
Kingstown.

Of course her Majesty remained on board the royal
yacht all night. As the evening fell, house after
house in Kingstown was illuminated—twinkling
lights gleamed brightly from the men-of-war steamers
in the harbour—scores of boats floated round their
resting forms—and above all shone down the steady
effulgence of a full moon, the soft quiet rays only now
and then broken by the lurid and baleful glare of a
blue light burned on board one of the squadron, and
illuminating harbour and shipping with its ghastly
and flickering radiance.
For hours the crowd continued to patrol the
quays and gaze at the squadron anchored before
them; but at length they gradually retired, and by
midnight the wharfs were lonely and deserted, and
the royal vessels lay undisturbed and tranquil in the
moonlight.

THE LANDING AT KINGSTOWN.
KINGSTOWN, MONDAY I,TORI4ING.
Shortly after ten o'clock this morning he Majesty
left the royal yacht, and, amid the acclampti ohs of the

swarming crowds which lined the pier, and the
thunder of heavy guns, set foot for the first time in the
seaport of the capital of her Irish dominions.
The royal squadron passed the night before last in
the Waterford River. No popular demonstration
whatever took place. Prince Albert only landed with
the children for a stroll.

THE QUEEN'S ENTRANCE INTO DUBLIN.
DUBLIN, MONDAY, QUARTER TO TWELVE.
The royal procession reached Baggot street Bridge
at 25 minutes past ten. Here the city keys were
presented by the Lord Mayor. The crowds were
immense all along the line, and the cheering was
most enthusiastic, kept up from house to house and
street to street. I never witnessed anything like
the overflowing enthusiasm of all classes. The
Queen and Prince Albert, who were followed in
another carriage by the royal children, were evi-
dently deeply moved by this extraordinary mani-
festation of popular acclamation, in which all classes
—from the highest to the humblest—participated.
At a quarter pest eleven o'clock the procession passed
through Nassau street into College-green, between
the University and the Bank of Ireland. Here the
burst of cheering was almost deafening from the
many thousands in the streets, at the windows, on the
house tops and the platforms.
At half past eleven the procession had reached
Nelson's Pillar, and that magnificent thoroughfare
Sackville-street, and passed on towards Rutland-
square, Great Denmark street, Temple-street, Eccles-
street, and on to the Vice regal Lodge. The Queen,
her illustrious Consort, and their children, were evi-
dently greatly delighted with the cordiality and rap-
ture of their reception.
The procession, which extended to fully a mile,
was closed by some thousands of gentlemen on horse-
back.

At twelve o'clock the procession reached the Vice-
regal Lodge, having gone at a rather quick pace
along the North Circular road. The Lord Lieute-
nant, who attended the procession, conducted her
Majesty into the Lodge.

CO tin 1 CIRCULAR.
OSBORNE, AUGUST 1.
This afternoon, at about a quarter past three
o'clock, her Majesty the Queen and his Royal High-
ness the Prince Albert embarked on board the Vic-
toria and Albert, royal steam-yacht. Her Majesty
and his Royal Highness were accompanied by their
Royal Highne!.ses the Prince of Wales, the Princess
Royal, the Princess Alice, and Prince Alfred, and
attended by the Viscountess Jocelyn and the Hon.
Caroline Dawson, the Earl Fortescue (Lord Steward),
Lieutenant Colonel the Hon. A. Gordon and the
Hon. C. B. Phipps (equerries in waitin), and Sir
James Clark. Miss Hildyard and Mr. Birch were
in attendance upon the junior branches of the Royal
Family.
The Right Hon. Sir George Grey, having arrived
from Southampton in the Elfin, at the moment of her
Majesty's embarkation, joined the Royal party on
board the Victoria and Albert.
At half-past three the squadron got under weigh,
consisting of the following vessels :—The royal yacht
Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord A. Fitzclarence ;
her Majesty's steam yacht Black Eagle, Master-
Commander Cook; her Majesty's war steamer Sphinx,
Commander Hewlett; her Majesty's war steamer
Stromboli, Captain Lord A. Beauclerk ; her Ma-
jesty's steam-packet Vivid, Master-Commander
Smithett. The squadron was saluted by the battery
at Cowes and the yachts lying in the roads.
COVE, AUGUST 2.
The royal yacht Victoria and Albert entered the
harbour of Cove at a little before ten o'clock this
evening. In a short time Rear-Admiral Sir M.
Dixon proceeded on board to pay his respects to her
Majesty. He was received by the Earl Fortescue
and the Right Hon. Sir George Grey.
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 Royal 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 he 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.
The Queen immediately re-embarked on board the
Fairy, and proceeded up the river towards Cork,
escorted by the royal steamer Vivid, commanded by
Lieutenant Smithett, and the Banshee, by Master-
Commander Smithett. At Passage the royal yacht
was 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 ou board the Victoria and Albert during the
day.
