Wellington, Cap-
tain tain Chadwick, arrived this morning at Spithead, in 16 days
from New York, which place she left on the evening of the
20th ult. The Great Western had arrived there or, Sunday
morning, the 17th of June, and was to return to England on
the 25th. The Sirius arrived there on Monday, the 15th, and
was to return to England on the 23d. The Independence
from Liverpool, and the Ontario from Portsmouth, arrived at
New York on the 17th and 18th. The above packet came
into the Channel with two English line-of.battle ships from
Quebec, with one of which (the Hastings) she was five days
is company.
Her Majesty's ship Hastings, 74, Captain Loch, arrived at
Spithead, this morning, in 16 days, from Quebec, having
left on the 20th June. She landed Lord Durham, family,
and suite, in good health, on Tuesday, the 29th of May, al-
though his Lordship did not take his final leave of the ship till
Saturday night, the 16th June, he having, with his family, suite,
and staff, attended aball and supper given on board the Hastings
to a distinguished party of 400 persons. The following persons
were of the party : —His Excellency the Governor, Lady Dur-
ham, Lady Mary, Lady Emily, and the Hon. George Lambton,
Lady Colborne, Hon. Colonel Grey, Mrs. Ellice, and Miss
Ellice, and Miss Balfour, the Commander-in-Chief, Sir C.
Paget, the captains and officers of his squadron then at Que-
bec—viz., Cornwallis, Hastings, Malabar, Hercules, Pique,
Inconstant, Andromache, Pearl, Dee, and Medea, steam-
ships; the Honourable: Ponsonby, Cavendish, Dillon, and
Bouverie, Messrs. Buller, Ellice, and Burke, and Captain
Conroy, and officers of a tillery, sappers, and Commissiary-
General M'Donald and the garrison staff, and the principal
persons residing at Quebec. The decks of the Hastings were
beautifully fitted for the occasion, with flags, evergreens, and va-
riegated lamps. Tables on the maimcleck were splendidly
covered for 231 persons, and completely filled at 10, 30. At the
same hour the remainder of the party partook of the refreshments
as opportunity offered. The last section of the company quitted
the Hastings in a steam-vessel, quite delighted with the
entertainment, and thekisckattention of Car t Loch and his offi-
cers. On the day previous to the Hastings leaving the Dee
steamer had sailed to Montreal, with detachments of offi-
cers and seamen, who had volunteered from the Hastings
and Hercules, to serve on the Lakes—those from the former
consisting of Lieut. M'Clure, four mates, thirty seamen, and
two boys, who were therefore discharged from her ; thus leav-
ing the Hastings 188 short of complement, having on board in
officers, besides her Captain and Commander, three Lieute-
nants, Master, Surgeon, Purser, additional Purser, one Officer
of Marines, one Second Master, four Mates, one Assistant Sur-
geon, two Midshipmen, and three Volunteers of the first class.
On the Hastings leaving England she did so with one Liente-
nant, the Chaplain, and two Officers of Marines, short of com-
plement, their cabins being required for the followers and suite
of the Earl of Durham. The statement of the Times newspaper,
with regard to the appointment of the Chaplain to the
Hastings being cancelled through the desire or influence of
the Earl of Durham, may here be contradicted; it having
been done totally without his Lordship's knowledge ; nor was
his Excellency aware that a chaplain had been appointed, and
that appointment cancelled, until after the Hastings had sailed
from Portsmouth. It might, with as much truth, have been
asserted that Lord Durham had directed the Lords of the Ad-
miralty not to appoint the other offic, rs it was found necessary
to leave behind, as that his Lordship had, in any way, inter-
fered, directly or indirectly, with regard to the appointment
or non-appointment of the chaplain, or any other of the ap-
pointments, orders, or internal regulations with regard to the
Hastings. Messrs. Buller and Ellice left Quebec for Mon-
treal on the 18th June. Lord Durham and family were in
good health at the time the Hastings sailed. His Lordship
had given much satisfaction, by his decisive measures, to many
of the disaffected, and delighted all the friends of our beloved
Qneen and her Ministers. Major Sir James Hamilton and
Lieut. Pearson came passengers in the Hastings.
The Hastings, 74, is ordered to be forthwith fitted by for
the reception of the Dowager Queen Adelaide, who intends
to spend the next winter at Malta. The Hastings will pro-
bably sail with her Majesty in the mortar of Zepteiaber.
The Emerald cutter sailed this morning for Sheerness—it is
said to be in attendance on the Queen.

Her Majesty's steamer Volcano arrived this morning from,
the eastward. She is intended for the Mediterranean statioll.r
will be paid wages on Monday, and proceed that evening, or
Tuesday morning, taking as passenger Lieutenant-General Sir
Alexander Woodford, K. C. 8., Governor of Gibraltar. The
young Prince George of Cambridge will go to that garrison till
September.

Barossa transport arrived at Quebec on the 14th June,
with 22 officers and 585 men of various regiments from Cork ;
the Marquis of Huntly transport ar, ived the following day,
with a detachment of the Ist Dragoon Guards, but having been,
thirty.nine days on her passage five horses have died.
The Vulcan revenue steam cruiser, Lieutenant Crispin, ca-
tured on Friday the French lugger Victoria, 60 feet in length,
one mile from the Owers Light vessel, baying eight men and
162 tubs of foreign spirits on board. So completely were the,
smugglers taken in by the cruiser's assumed disguise that they
allowed her
_in the open day to run alongside her
1174110 n
creating the least suspicion. The Vulcan carried her into
Weymouth.

On Wednesday last, a man of the name of Thomas
Barrow, a native of Balby, near this town, was apprehended at. the
public.house at Warmsworth, by Carnelly, Wheater, and Platte, on a
charge of being a deserter from the lat Roya's, with poaching, and
other offences. Many attempts had been previously made to secure
him, but without success. He is a most ferooious being, and possessed
of gigantic strength ;he stands about five feet inches high, weighillie
about twelve stones ; and is literally all bones and muscle. His habi s
we e extraordinary—nearly approaching to those of savage life. He
constructed a hut or cabin in the centre of Wadworth Wood
a spot difficult to find—whither he retired, as well to sleep, as
to elude detection ; and defied any three men to take him.
lie almost always went armed with pistols and a gun, and kept
a couple of savage dogs, a bull dog and a lurcher. Indeed.
" Tom Barrow " has long been a terror to that part of the
country, and few dare molest or even speak to him. Ile has sub-
s'sted by poaching, fowl-stealing, &c, &c.; and frequently
declared that he had as much right to land and wood as any man. It
will be readily conceived that, in the apprehension of such a desperate
character, great danger was involved—either broken limbs or loss of
life. Neither, however, occurred in this instance. The police were
determined that he should no longer escape; and Information having
been communicated that he was at Warrnsworth public.house, the three
officers already mentioned immediately proceeded to the spot. They
rushed into the house, and pounced upon him while he was in the act of
drinking a glass of ale. There was no time ..for resistance, and the
strongest hand-cuffs were placed upon him instantly ; and afterwards he
was further secured by heavy leg-irons. He declared, with a vehement
oath—" You have got me now, but —cowardly." lie was not •
armed with pistols ; and, if he had been, he could not have used them.
He was immediately conveyed to Doncaster gaol, Where he is now in
safe keeping.—Doncaster Gazelle.

A gentleman, who resides at Boulogne, near St.
Cloud, and is a great amateur of dehlias, informs us of a curious coino-
- that out of 200 dahlias in his garden, the first one that flowered
this year flowered on the 28th ultimo, and was the magnificent variety
which bears the name of Queen Victoria.
