SURREY SESSIONS.---(THIS DAY.)
The adjourned sessions for the county of Surrey com-
menced this morning, at the Sessions-house, Newington,
before Thomas Puckle, Esq., and a bench of magistrates.
The calendar contained only twenty-three prisoners for
trial, and a great many of the offenders were countrymen
charged with petty thefts.
Janes Cookeland, 16, was indicted for stealing a bottle
of wine, the property of Maria Mason. The prosecu-
trix kept a grocer's shop in Old Kent-road, and sold
British wines.
John Evans saw, on Friday last, five lads walking about
Mrs. Mason's shop. One of them entered the place and took
a-bottle of wine, which he handed to one of the others.
He pursued them, but they all escaped except the pri-
soner, whom he stopped, and found the bottle of wine in
his possession. He gave him into the custody of a
policeman.
The bottle of wine was identified.
The jury found him Guilty, and
The COURT sentenced him to three months' hard
labour in Guildford House of Correction.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
EMBARKATION OF HER MAJESTY FOR
IRELAND.
COWES, AUGUST 1, 1849.
At one o'clock this day the following steam-ships
left our roadstead for Mede-hole,-and came to directly
off Osborne Palace :—the Royal yacht, Victoria and
Albert, being the nearest in shore, the Sphinx, Strom-
boli, Black Eagle, and Vivid lying farther out, and
a little more to the eastward.
Her Majesty left the palace at three o'clock, and
embarked from Osborne Beach. At twenty minutes
past three the Castle and Royal Yacht Squadron
House commenced saluting. There were about thirty
foreign ships in the roads—Russian, American, Dane,
and German vied with each other in making a dis-
play ; these ships were all gaily dressed out in honour
of Briton's Queen, as were the different yachts and
merchant shipping, and various flag-staffs along the
whole line of the harbour.
The royal yacht was followed by her Majesty's
steam-ships Sphinx, Vivid, Black Eagle, and Strom-
boli, the latter having the royal carriages on board.
The day was beautifully fine, the sea almost as smooth
as glass, a light air drawing from the westward, and
the tide also making to the eastward. The yachts
could not follow the royal party.
It was at one time reported that the steamers would
not proceed further than Hurst Castle to-night, re-
main inside the Wight till three o'clock to-morrow
morning, then proceed on to Falmouth, and remain
there to-morrow night; as now arranged, they will
steam on to Cork, and will, therefore, arrive before
they are expected.
The Earl and Countess of Wilton and family have ar-
rived at Grove House for the season; Sir Horam Sey-
mour and familyat Belmore House; Spencer de Horsey,
Esq., at the 7th West Cliff Cottage ; C. R. M. Talbot,
Esq., at the Bth Cottage. The Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Ailesbury are expected to-morrow at
Norfolk House; the Earl and Countess of Glengall at
Harriet-lodge. Earl Fitzhardinge has taken a house
on the South Parade. The Duke of Marlborough
has taken the Small Pavilion ; Lord ;Crofton, Beach
Cottage ; the Hon. Mrs. Spalding a house in the
Bath-road; Captain M'Taggart, Busigney House ;
and Lady Lyttleton, Oakfield Lodge. Mr. and Lady
Mary Vyner leave Grantham House on Wednesday
next.

EMBARKATION OF THE QUEEN AND
PRINCE ALBERT FOR IRELAND, AND
THE ROYAL PROGRESS.
Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and suite embarked
yesterday on board the Royal yacht Victoria and
Albert, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.C.H.,
at half-past three o'clock in the afternoon, and the
different members of the Court and household, the
servants, attendants, &c., having also embarked, the
Victoria and Albert, with the Royal standard at the
main, proceeded, under a salute, from Cowes Castle,
en route to Cork, Dublin, Belfast, and Greenock.
With the Victoria and Albert were the following
steam-vessels, under the command of Lord Adolphus
Fitzclarence :—The Stromboli, 6, steam-sloop, Com-
mander Lord A. W. Beauclerk ; the Sphinx, 6,
steam-sloop, Commander Hewlett; the Black Eagle,
Admiralty steam-yacht, Master-Commander Cook ;
and the Vivid, steam-packet, Master-Commander
Smithett. One of the men-of-war sloops proceeded
ahead of the Royal yacht, and the other followed
astern, the smsller vessels being stationed on the
quarters of the stately Victoria and Albert.
The Royal squadron got into regular order soon
after starting, and proceeded at a very good speed
towards the Needles, betokening a fair, happy, and
prosperous passage for our beloved Sovereign in this
her Majesty's first visit to the Emerald Isle.
It was arranged that the Royal squadron should
bring up for the night in Yarmouth roads yesterday,
in the same beautiful locality in which the Royal
squadron of 1837 anchored on her Majesty's visit to
the Clyde, but the weather being so very fine it was
not at all improbable that the Royal squadron would
go on as far as Weymouth last night, and leaving that
anchorage at daylight this morning, and carrying the
fine weather with them, go right on to Cork without
stopping at any intermediate port.
At Cove, the commander-in-chief, Rear-Admiral
Manley Dixon, has made his dispositions for receiving
the Royal squadron. The Admiralty left it to the
choice of the gallant and respected admiral to shift
his flag from the Crocodile to any other ship that
might be there ' • and it was expected that his selec-
tion would fall upon the Ganges, 84, Captain Smith,
C.B. He would then have under his orders that ship
and Hogue, 60, screw-decker, Captain Macdougall,
and the Arrogant, 46, screw- frigate, Captain Robert
Fitz Roy, if he should arrive in time from the Medi-
terranean, to fire royal salutes on the arrival of the
Victoria and Albert.
We have already reported the arrival of her
Majesty's screw yacht tender Fairy, Master-Com-
mander Welsh, at Cove. That vessel, together with
the Trident, 2, steam-vessel, Lieut.-Commander
Risk, the Lucifer, 2, Lieut. Commander E. A. T.
Lloyd, and the Banshee steam-vessel, Master-Com-
mander W. Smithett, now assembled at Cove, will
also be under the orders of Lord Adolphus Fitz-
clarence, and form part of the Royal squadron on
the coast of Ireland.
The Commander-in-Chief at Cork will most likely
attend on her Majesty in the royal visit to Cork, but
he will not accompany the squadron on its departure
from Cove to Dublin.
The royal squadron, on leaving Cove, will be com-
posed of all the above-named vessels, with the excep-
tion of the Ganges, the Hogue and Arrogant being
transferred to Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence's command.
Commander Wolfe, who has been surveying at
Valentia, has been recalled from his surveying duties,
and is in readiness at Cove to pilot her Majesty in and
out of Cork Harbour.
It is not improbable that the Queen may visit
Waterford en route from Cork to Dublin, either from
choice or from stress of weather; and to provide for
such a casualty, Commander G. A. Frazer, surveying
on the south-east coast, in the Sparrow ketch, has
been directed to hover near the Saltees, so as to be in
readiness to pilot the royal squadron into Waterford
Harbour.
Off Kingstown the royal squadron will be received
by the Dragon, 6, steam-frigate, Captain W. H. Hall,
the gallant captain assisting to place and anchor the
royal vessels, the following then forming the royal
naval cortige of steamers :
YACHTS AND PACKETS.
Victoria and Albert royal yacht, Captain Lord A.
Fit zclarence.
Fairy, screw-tender to ditto, Master Com. Welch.
Black Eagle Admiralty yacht, Master Com. Cook.

Lord A. Beauclerk.
The Trident, 3 guns, 65 men, gun-vessel, Lieutenant
Risk.

The Lucifer, 2 guns, 55 men, gun-vessel, Lieutenant
E. Lloyd.
On the departure of the Royal squadron from Dublin
all the above-named vessels will proceed to some dis-
tanee with her Majesty, when the Hogue, Arrogant,
and Dragon will part company with the royal standard
and proceed to Devenport.
The squadron will then go on to Belfast, and
thence to Greenock ; and after the debarkation of
her Majesty and Prince Albert, the royal yacht, with
the Fairy, Stromboli, and Sphinx, will return to
Portsmouth ; the Lucifer and Trident, to Cork; the
Banshee, to Holyhead ; the Vivid, to Dover ; and the
Black Eagle, to Devonport, to await the orders of the
Admiralty.
PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY NlGHT.—Never has a
Sovereign of this empire prepared to visit Ireland in
so quiet and unostentatious a manner as that which
her Majesty this day adopted since the time George
IV. crept on board the little Holyhead steam•packet
and fought his way to the royal carriage through the
unruly crowds at the obscure harbour of Howth.
The departure of our monarchs for that country
hitherto has been signalised by all the pomp and
circumstance of war, with a single exception. A
countless flotilla of half-decked boats, filled with
archers and men-at-arms, set forth from some
stirring port on the west to accompany their
King on a mission of conquest and subjection, or
a fleet of high-pooped caravels laden with grim
Puritans or gay Jacobites and Cavaliers, swept
across the channel, to make Ireland a battle-field, in
which victory was a sure token of disaster to thou-
sands of inhabitants. Whether as King, Protector,
or Pretender, the armed representative of the so-
vereignty of England set foot on the Irish shores
with hostile armies in his train; but it is reserved
for us to see happier days, and fortunate indeed will
it be for the empire should the anticipations of peace
and goodwill which the Queen'svisistotoe smallthat di
degreestraeted
kingdom give rise to be even in some
realised. A day of bright sunshine—scarce wind

were favourable auguries for, the Royal voyage. But
few persons were assembled to witness its com-
mencement, what millions will celebrate its termi-
nation ! The yachts at Cowes were dressed with flags.
Some hundreds of persons were on the look-out from
points which commanded the embarkation, and an oc-
casional glass was in play from the more distant
heights and the opposite shore, but no public excite-
ment of any kind marked the great event of the day.
At half-past 12 o'clock the little squadron in Cowes
road, which had been for some time before busily
engaged in making as much smoke (and we presume
getting up as much steam) as possible, were under
