WINDSOR, AUG. 13.—The birthday of her Ma-
jesty the Queen Dowager was celebrated here today
with more than ordinary ceremony. In addition to
ji \ou peals on the chute') and castle bells, and the
tiring of royal salutes, both the to.
town and at tho Belvi-
dere, all the military and naval knights, in full uniform,
attended the morning service in the lt('yal Chap .1 of
St. George, and a private el-Islay was nisp-need more
liberally:than usual among the poor. On this day Queen
Adelaide luta attained her 55th year..,

THE ROYAL SQUADRON.

The royal yacht the Victoria and Albert com-
manded by the Right Hon. .I..erd Adolphus Fitz-
clarence, having her Majesty and her illustrious Con-
sort, with the Prince of Wales and Princess Royal
on board, brought up, as we stated yesterday, soon
after seven o'clock on Wednesday evening, in Yar-
mouth Roads (I. W.), within a short distance of the
shore, the other steamers in the squadron anchoring
outside.

Soon after daybreak on Thursday morning the
Victoria- and Albert signalled the squadrOn to get
under way, with orders to the Scourge to:take the lead.
In a short time that vessel bore up, taking the usual
course for the Needles passage; dropping her colours
as she passed the royal yacht. About five o'clock all
the fleet were steaming onwards, the Fairy, Undine,
Black Eagle, and Garland following the Victoria and
Albert. Before the squadron, however, had pro seeded
five or six miles, a fog came . on, and it was deemed
prudent to run into Allum Bay, near Freshwater, just
under the Needles Rocks,
to the eastward. In the
course of an hour or so the weather somewhat cleared
up, and the Royal yacht was again got under way,
and by nine o'clock had well cleared the rocks, and
was steaming away at full speed to the westward, the
Fairy and the Undine keeping up a position on either
side of the Victoria and Albert, the Black Eagle and
Garland being a short distance in the rear. There
was a smart breeze blowing up Channel (S.W.), but
comparatively little sea.

At fifteen minutes past ten, A.M., the royal squa-
dron was abreast the Coast guard station at Swanage,
eastward of St. Aldan's Head. The passing of the
Scourge about an hour previous had notified to the
inhabitants the approach of the royal yacht, and no
time was lost in patting off sailing boats and other
craft to catch a glimpse of the royal party. In the
mean time those oh shore used every expedition in
hoisting colours on every prominent place. The
squadron was at last descried, but the unfavourable
state of the weather kept the royal fleet off the coast
about three miles.

OSMING lON, NEAR WEYMOUTH,
THURSDAY NOON.
Her Majesty's fleet for Scotland has just passed in
the offing down the Channel, steering about west, a
long way out. We could just discern them ; there
were four steamers going at a good speed ; the wind
being fair (about S.S.E.), and , other light. Nu-
merous yachts were stretching out to greet the
squadron as it passed.
PORTLAND BILL, THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

Early this afternoon the Victoria and Albert, with
her Majesty and her Royal Consort on board, accom-
panied by four other steamers, was off this prominent
point of the coast. The weather was foggy, and but
for that unfortunate circumstance, the passing of the
royal fleet would have been the source of considerable
gratification to the inhabitants along the coast.
Several guns were fired from the Black Eagle and
others of the escort, but whither it was a salute or .
signals could not be observed consequence of the
hazy state of the atmosphere. The fleet went outside
the Race and Shambles shoals, and when last seen
was steering a channel course to She westward.
TORBAY, THURSDAY NIGHT.
Her Majesty's trip to Scotland has been unfor-
tunately impeded by a dense fog. At half past three
o'clock this afternoon the royal squadron ran into
Dartmouth Bay, and anchored there for the night.
Owing to this untoward event, the royal yacht has
not accompli.hed 100 miles of the voyage. Up to the
present hour (eleven o'clock) the fog still prevails.
The Queen was on deck until some time after the
yacht anchored, closely attended by his Royal High-
ness the Prince of Wales in the costume of an A. B.
Her Majesty looked remarkably well, and answered
the cheers of her subjects, who crowded in boats
round the vessel, by gracious smiles and bows.
(From the Inverness Courier.)
We understand that this county has fairly entered
on the duties of loyalty, and that all necessary and
suitable arrangements will be made for her Majesty's
reception when she lands upon Our western coast.
The authorities of Argyleshire will also come for-
ward.

On Friday last,• immediately after the election, a
meeting of the gentlemen of the county was held in
the Castle, on theSubjtct of the Queens visit. Lord
Lovat was called to the chair. Sheriff Tytler then
stated that, although he had not received any official
intimation, it was generally understood that her
Majesty was about to visit the Highlands oflnverness-
shire, and he understood from Cluny that her Majesty
might now be expected to arrive at Ardverikie on the
19th instant. Mr. Sheriff Fraser, Fdrt William, had
been in correspondence with various gentlemen on
the subject. A plan was submitted by Mr. Mitchell
for the erection of a temporary wooden addition to
the pier at Fort William, so as to make the landing
place more convenient for her Majesty. The project
of having a new landing pier has been considered,
but was abandoned, because the time was too short,
and no convenient, site could be obtained. Mr. Mit-
chell stated the new part was proposed to be ten feet
in breadth, and to have a gradual slope downward.
Posts would be placed round it for a fence of rope.
Carriages could not approach nearer than the main
street—about one hundred yards from the landing-
place. The pier, for that space, was proposed to be
covered with • tartan-cloth of the Royal Stuart
pattern. The tartan was already procured, and the
erection of the pier would -be commenced next day
(Saturday). Cluny stated that an escort of the
71st highlanders, now in Edinburgh, had been or-
dered to be in readiness if wanted, and the ground
on
.which_ they were, to encamp had already been
marked out. •

• COURT CIRCULAR.
Yesterday was the anniversary, of the birthday of her
Majesty the Queen Dowager. Her Royal Highness the
l)ucltess of Uloueester arrived at Bushy House, Bushy
PAik, in the forenoon, to pay a visit of congratulation to
her Maj,-sty, on the auspicious return of her natal day.
The Royal Duchess partook of a deieune with the Queen
Dowager, and in the afternoon took leave of her Ma-
jesty and returned to her residence in Richmond Park.
The tradesmen of the Queen Dowager illuminated
their houses in the evening, in honour of the occasion.
His Imperial Highness Prince Peter of Oldent urgh
paid a visit yesterday to the new Government I ffices at
Whitehall, and inspected the office of her Majesty's
Privy Council, the Board of Trade, the Treasury, and
the Home Secretary s "c6—ce, Sir Denis Le Alurehant
was in attendance on his Imperial Highaess during his
visits

STEALING. << THE SUN' NEWS-
PA PE R.
The Postmaster-General and the Postmaster of
Liverpool have had their attention drawn to the fol•
lowing fact, and we hope the Editor of lhe Sun will
insert this paragraph in his paper, that its appearance
therein may tend to discover the thief:—
For some time past, the Copy of Vie Sun news-
paper, addressed to the Liverpool Mercury office, and
which we are assured, and do not doubt, is regularly
forwarded from London six evenings in the week,
never arrives at its destination when there is any very
particular news. Once or twice a week this incon-
venience, this theft is suffered; this week it cccurred
two days together, neither Monday's nor Tuesday's
paper having arrived. This vie trust will attract the
attention it deserves until the culprit is placed upon
the treadmill.

While we have pen in hand, we may mention that
almost daily we receive complaints of the non•arrival
of papers. We cannot help believing that there is a
traffic going on in the the sale of stolen papers. Last
Friday twenty copies of the Mercury were ordered
for a manufa,:turing concern near Birmingham. They
were duly forwarded by post, but they never reached
their destination. The miscarriage of so bulky a
parcel seems inconceivable ; and the question is__
what has become of them ?—Liverpool Mercury.

A STOLEN CHILD FOUND.--I he police have re-
ceiv. d intortnatiun that a child that was stolen from
Wilton-place, Knightsbridge, about a month ago, has
been discovered with a weinAn in the lower part of Essex.
At the time the child (about three years old, named Rosa
Farr) was missing, bills offering a reward tor its dis-
covery were circulated throughout the metropolis, and
every inquiry was made by the police, without effect;
but this week they received information that a child had
been found in the possession of a travelling woman who
had been taken up upri some charge in Essex, which it
was suspected, from its dress and manner, was not her
own; and intimation of this being given in Wilton-place,
the relatives of the little lost one proceeded into the
country and identified it. The woman had been travel.
ling and begging with it, and the poor child appears to
have been very harshly used.
FIRE IN TUE STRAND.--The shop and stock 04.

were partially destroyed by pre yesterday morning. The
fire was discovered by constable F 68,

used in its extinction. The tire originated in the cellar,
but the cause is as 3et uanown. Mr. Lander is insured

s& quenee of the disappearance of Mr. Da.val Griffiths,
Government tax-collector and surveyor of weights and
Teeeday and Wednesday last at

ment taxes was held on

absent. The atncunt which ought to have been paid by
him on that occasion is stated to ba between 8001. and
1,0001. He was seen on Wednesday week at the bust-
ings in Castle-street, and since then a letter has been
received from him, bearing ihe post mark " Anglesey,"

BUCKINGHAMSHIRE RAILWAY.
(THIS DAY.)
The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this
company was held to-day at the Euston Station, for
the purpose of receiving the report of the directors,
and also to obtain powers from the shareholders to
raise on. mortgage or bond, such sums as the com-
pany might be entitled to borrow under their Acts.
Sir Harry "Verney, Bart., M.P., took the chair at
one o'clribic, and the usual prt liminary proceedings
having been gone through,
The:Worthy CHAIRMAN said, before he called upon
the Secretary to read the report he would make a few
observati?ns to the meeting. He looked upon the
position of this company at the present moment as
most satistactory.—(Hear, hear.) They had obtained
from Parliament a sanction to their extension line to
Brackley and other places, added to which they were
connected with the London and North-Western
Company, which had, without a desire to dazzle any
one, accomplished works without the assistance of the
Government such as no company in this country
ever done before.—(Cheers.) lie was g:al that his
Hos. Friend the Chairman of the London and North-
Wes'ern Railway was in Parliament as he was sure
he would do all he could to protect the interests not
only of the railway with which he was connected,
but that of all the other railways in the country.
The Hon. Baronet then called upon the Secretary to
read the report of the directors.
The SECRETARY (Wyndham Harding, Esq.) read
the following report :
" The Act of Parliament, authorising the consolida-
tion of the Oxford and Bletchley, and Buckingham and
Brackley Companies, and the construction of the exten-
sion of the Buckingham and Brackley line, northward to
Banbury, and southward to Aylesbury, received the
royal assent on the 22d of July.
" The original features of the Buckinghamshire Rail-
way, as a link in a second line between London and Bir-
mingham, are thus restored to it.

"The London and North Western Railway Company
have, on being applied to, expressed their willingness to
subscribe the capital for the Extension lines.
" By a general regulation of Parliament applied to all
the Railway Bills of last y ear, the payment of interest
on the calls upon shares created under the powers of the
Acts of last segsion, is prohibited. _ _ _

" Under these circumstances, the London and North
Western Company have consented to take up the allot-
ments of those proprietors who, having accepted Exten-
sion Shares with the expectation that interest would be
allowed on the calls, may now wish to relinquish such
shares.

" In consequence of the consolidation of the two no-
minally distinct companies of which the undertaking
consisted (namely, the Oxford and Bletchley, and Buck-
ingham and Bruckley Junction Railway Companies) into
one company, to go by the name of the Buckingln:nishire
Railway Company, which has been effected by the Act
of this year, it has been necessary to compile a new
register of proprietors, in which each proprietor, of
either Oxford and Bletchley, or Buckingham and Brack-
ley shares, is entered as the proprietor of a correspond-
ing number of Buckinghamshire Railway Shares, of pre-
cisely the same value and amount.
" In pursuance of this arrangement, the certificates of
the shares of the Oxford and Bletchley, and Buckingham
and Brackley Companies, as they come in for transfer,
will be exchanged for a like number of certificates in
the Buckinghamshire Railway Company.
" The greater part of the laud for the line now under
contract (which comprises the whole extent of railway
authorized in 1846), has been paid tor, and the works
are in full operation. The engineer is directing his
especial attention to the preparation of the contract
drawings for the extension line between Brackiey and
Banbury, with the view of is. curing, if possible, the
opening of that portion of the line co temporativously
with that of the Buckingham and Brackley, and Oxford
and Bletchley lines, early in the summer of 1849.
" Rails have been put chased at mod. rote prices for the
whole length of railway under contract, and a consi-
derable portion of these rails has been delivered on the
ground.
" On the shares of the company (17/. 10a. each) 81.45.
per share is now called up. Atter another call the com-
pany will be in a position to avail itself of its power of
borrowing.
" The directors will therefore apply to the general
meeting for authority to exercise these powers.
"In pursuance of the vote of the proprietors at the
last general meeting, the directors have taken measures
fur promoting the moral and religious instruction of the
workmen employed on the line, and of their children.
In this object they have been liberally seconded by Mr.
Brassey, the contractor for the works.
" The following directors go out of office S.
Browr.ing, R. B. nson, E. Cropper, T. IL Cobb, E.
Deweg, Esquires ; these gentlemen are eligible for re-
election."

After a short discussion the report was agreed to.
A resolution was carried unanimously empowering
the directors to raise by mortgage or bond a sum not
exceeding 264.000/. for the purposes of the company.
A. sum of 500/. was voted to the directors; the
auditors were re-appointed, and a vote of thanks
having been carried unanimously to the directors, the
meeting separated.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, AUG. 13.—Scarcely any
bu,nit ss has been done In our sugar market this week,
and quotations remain nominally the same as our last.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London !Veto Price Vurrent of Aug. 13.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was a more active demand for
Raw Sugar for hone consumption, whilst i xporters
were desirous to do business, and for the better quali-
ties holders obtained prices they could not previously ;
but for common kinds and brown a further fall in the
value took place. West India was in fair demand, both
for the scale and refining purptees, whilst the quantity
sold amounted to 400 hhds and trcs ; prices about the
sama as on Friday last for the better sorts of yellow and
for strong grey sorts, but interior and brown qualities
are in some cases 6d per cwt under those of that time.
REFINED.—To•dsy Refined Sugar was only in limited
request by the home trade, although brown grocery
lumps were to be obtained at 54s 6d, and standard lumps
at 554 to 55s 6d per cwt. The market is quiet for
bonded crushed Sugar, and 31s 6d to 32s are the rates ac-
cepted for first quality.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon a public sale of 1,071
bags Bengal Sugar sold with spirit at an advance on
firmer rates of 6d to is—fine white Benares fetched
49s to 51-, good 47a to 48s 6d, good middling and mid•
dlitig 44s 6d to 46s 6d, low 435, damp and wash. d 45s
to 48s, good soft yellow 41s 6d to 425, middling 406,
damp 41s 6d per cat.
CorrEE.—This at ternoon there was more desire shown
to operate in Mocha Cuff-e, and at public sale 335 bales
267 half bales were all sold at lull rates. The limited
business transacted private 4 in Ceylon was at rather
lower rates ; and 3 casks 552 bags at public sale went
at easier quotations. Foreign Coffee is little requi-.et. ;
786 bags St. limniego sold at Is per cwt decline.
SPICES —For East India and African Ginger th re
has beeu a good demand ['rivals-Iy, whilst the rates
obtained are rather above those that previously pre-
vailed, and there is a less quantity on offer. None
has been brought to auction. Jamaica is little re-
quired ; and a public sale of 40 cases 72 brls went
oil heavily at barely former rates, and a part only sold.
Pimento is wanted, and privately several parcels have
been sold at stiffer rates; whilst merchants continue to
supply the market sparingly: at auction 86 bags were
sold. For Nutmegs the demand is less active, but
holders have succeeded in obtaining previous advanced
rates, although the supply is on the increase.
The parcels offered at auction were only in part sold,
and amounted to 37 packages. Mace is wanted,
and the business transacted privately has been
upon fully former terms, whilst there is yet but a small
supply. Cloves are held for the previous value, whilst
for African the demand privately is good. Bencoolen,
however, met with little attention, but Is 8d to 2s are
the rates required. Black Pepper of all sorts have been
