THE ROYAL SQUADRON.

The royal yacht the Victoria and Albert com-
manded by the Right Ron. Lord Adolphus Fitz-
clarence, having her Majesty and her illustrious Con-
sort, with the Prince of Wales and PrioyeFs 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 eeded
five or six miles, a fog came on, and it was deemed.
prudent to run into Allum Bay, near Freshwater,
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 putting off sailing boats and other
craft to catch a glimpse of the royal party. In
in
the
mean time those on shore used every expedition
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.

OSMINGfON, 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 rather--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 whether it was a salute or
signals could not be observed in 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 the 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 accomplished 100 miles of the voyage. Up to the
present hour (eleven o'clock) the fog still prevails.
The Queen was 9n 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 rem; kably well, and answered
the cheers of her subjects, who crowded in boats
round the vessel, by graciou% 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 Argyleahire 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 the subket of the Queen's 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, Fort 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 prokct
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
Duchess of Gloucester arrived at Busby House, Bushy
Park, in the forenoon, to pay a visit of congratulation to
her Majesty, on the auspicious return of her natal day.
The Roy al Duchess partook of a deieune with the Queen
Dowager, and in the afternoon took leave of her Ma-
jesty and returned to her resiaence 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 Oldenburgh
paid a visit yesterday to the new Government offices at
Whitehall, and inspected the office of her Majesty's
Privy Council. the Board of Trade, the Treasury, and
the Home Secretary's office, Sir Denis Le Marchant
was in attendance ou his Imperial highness during his
visit.

ROSS-SHIRE.

The election of a knight of the shire for the county
of Ross, took place at Dingwall on Tuesday last, the
10th instant. Mr. Mackenzie, of Applecross, the
late (Protectionist) representative having declined to
contest the county, Mr. James Matheson, of Achamy
and Lewis, late M.P. for Ashburton, and brother of
the present Member for that borough, and uncle of
the new Member for the Inverness burghs, was the
only candidate in the field. The Hon. Gentleman
was escorted from his residence, Conaw house, about
two miles and a half distant, by a large number of
gentlemen and farmers of the county, preceded by
flags and bands of music. Houses and towns were
gaily decorated with flags, flowers, and evergreens ;
business was suspended, and the town presented a
gayer appearance than it was ever known to do. The
usual preliminaries having been gone through by the
Sheriff,
Mr. MACKENZIE, of Seaforth, in a neat and ap-
propriate speech, proposed Mr. Matheson, of the
Lewis, as a fit and proper person to represent the
county in Parliament.
Mr. M`Lnop, junior, of Cadholl, seconded the
nomination.
There bring no other candidate proposed,

The SusaiiT declared that the election had fallen
on Mr. Matheson, who was therefore, duly elected to
serve as their representative in the ensuing Par-
liament.

Mr. MATHESON then came forward and was re-
ceived with the most enthusiastic applause, which
continued for several minutes. On silence being ob-
taibed, he thanked the electors for the distinguished
honour they had conferred upon him by electing him
as their representative in the ensuing Parliament, and
he assured them that he would endeavour to meet
their confidence by a zealous discharge of his duties,
and by giving his constant and unremitting attention
to their local interests with which his own were so
closely identified.—(Cheers.) He wished to call their
attention to one subject of great interest to the pro-
prietors and farmers of the country—he meant the
question of the game laws. He was not in favour
of a repeal of the game laws, which he considered
would not be beneficial to the interests of the country,
but he would give his support to any measure having
for its object to compensate the farmer for any damage
he might sustain.—(Cheers.) Although he had voted
in favour of the grant to Maynooth, as that institu-
tion had been established before the Union, he would
resist any grant of public money to endow the
Roman Catholic priesthood of Ireland.—(Cheers.)
The Honourable Gentleman spoke at some length
of the Scottish system of banking, and deprecated
any interference with it on the part of the Govern-
ment. The measure of Sir Robert Peel on the sub-
ject had not worked well, and he would give his best
opposition to any interference with a system which
had conferred great benefit on the country.—
(Cheers.) He was in favour of the principles of free
trade, and had supported the various measures intro-
duced by Sir R. Peel to unfetter trade and commerce,
and he hoped soon to see the shackles that still re-
mained entirely removed. The country had derived
great benefit from the tree-trade measures which had
been already passed ; and he was certain that if free
trade principles were carried out to their full and
legitimate extent, still greater fruits would be pro-
duced from them.—(Cheers.) After again thanking
them for the honour they had conferred on him,
he concluded by proposing a vote of thanks to the
Sheriff, which wis unanimously carried.
The Honourable Gentleman was then chaired
round the town twice, amidst the plaudits of the
inhabitants, who were unabimous in their praises of
their new candidate, who is extremely popular in the
county. _

f The usual half-yearly meeting of the shareholders
of this company was held yesterday, at the London
ITavern, Bithopsgate-street.
The chair was tvicen by E. B. Deni,on, E'q (!.,te
-
.1%.1.P. for the Vest Riding), cl.iairm..-,n oft it et,iniyhy.
The report stated, that during the session of Parlia-
ment ended last month, the several Bills which at
the half-yearly meeting in February last the directors
were authorised to promote for deviations and etten-
sions of the line, were pressed upon the attention of
Parliament. Those Bills generally were subjected to
the same kind of detetmined opposition which at-
tended the London and York, or Great Northern
Bill, in its passage through Parliament. The directors,
however, felt that they might congratulate the share-
holders upon the result of the session, which had been
to extend the powers of making lines or running the
trains of the Great Northern Railway to and from
the Eastern Counties Line at Hertford; the London
and North Western Line at St. Albans, to and
from Luton ; the Lynn and Ely Line at Wisbeach ;
the Port of Sutton-bridge • the Manchester and
Leeds Station at Wakefield; the Midland Railway at
Methley ; and by the South Yorkshire Railway to
the Town of Barnsley and the Great Coalfield of
that district ; an extent comprising upwards of
seventy miles, at the comparatively small addi-
tional outlay of 400,0001. of capital, and also to obtain
the sanction of the House of Commons to the Great
Northern schemes for occupying the Isle of Axholme,
and the project of forming a central station at Leeds.
Since the meeting in February great exertions had
been made to acquire the land in the districts in which,
previously, the works had been contracted for, viz.—
from London by Peterborough, Boston, and Lincoln,
to Gainsborough, a distance of about 156 miles; and
the greater portion, above four-fifths, had been
agreed for and passed into the possession of the con-
tractors as they had required it. The vacancy
caused in the board of directors by the decease of
W. Astell, M.P. for Bedfordshire, the chairman of the
company, had been supplied by E. B. Denison, Esq.,
one of the deputy-chairmen. From the general cash
statement to 30th June, 1847, it appeared that the
total amount received by this company since its forma-
tion had been 1,414 9551.; of this sum 1,012,9021.55. sd.
had been expended in law and Parliamentary ex-
penses, works, land, and compensation interest on
calls, &c. The balance remaining in hand in cash
and Exchequer-bills and other securities was
402,0521. 14s. 7d.

The CHAIRMAN then moved the adoption and re-
ception of the roport. He most sincerely regretted
that they should have to engage so often in expensive
Parliamentary contests, and he thought that it would
be to the interest of the shareholders of this com-
pany, and of their great opponents, the Midland and
Eastern Counties Col tipany, to endeavour to act in
unison, and he would be prepared at any time to
meet the directors of those companies upon such terms
as might be advantageous to the interests of all parties
concerned.

Captain Puotrr seconded the adoption of the report.
A SHAREHOLDER wished to know what was the
greatest number of shares held by any single indi-
vidual ?

The CHAIRMAN said that the greatest number held
by one gentleman was 3,000 shares, the whole amount
of calls upon u hich had been paid up.
The report was then unanimously agreed to.
Resolutions were unanimously agreed to autho-
rising the directors to adopt such measures as they
might think proper for the protection of the property
of the Great Northern Railway, either by agreements
with other companies or by applying to Parliament ;
and for carrying out- the agreements made by the
Great N ortheru Railway with other branch lines,
under the sanction of Parliament.

A resolution, authorising the directors to consoli-
date 40,000 shares of the London and York Exten-
sion, by giving the holders thereof one Great
Northern share of 251. (51. being paid up) for two of
such extension shares, was also unanimously agreed
to; as was also a resolution empowering the di-
rectors to advance a sum not exceeding 4001. towards
the moral and religious improvement of the large
bodies of labourers employed on the works in their
respective localities.
A vote of thanks was given to the chairman, and
the meeting broke up.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Aug. 13.)

Sudan.—To-day there was a more active demand for
Raw Sugar for home consumption, whilst exporters
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 purpo-es, whilst the quantity
sold amounted to 400 hhds and trcs ; prices about the
same as on Friday last for the better sorts of yellow and
for strong grey sorts, but inferior and brown qualities
are in some eases 6d per cwt under those of that time.
REFINED.—To .day Refined Sugar was only in limited
request by the home trade, although brown grocery
lumps were to be obtained at 54s tid, and standard lumps
at 55s to 55s 6d per cwt. The market is quiet ,or
bonded crushed Sugar, and 31s 6d to 32s are the rates ac-
cepted
u for
Ti firsta quality.Thi
ivizu afternoon the quantity offered at
Ab.
public sale amounted to 8,276 bags and 100 casks: the
whole sold, the sorts at and above 38s per cwt went 6d
to is higher, but those under that price must be con-
sidered 6d per cwt cheaper.
FORElGN.—lmporters of Foreign Sugar are not dis-
posed to submit to any further reduction in prices, and
they supplied the market less freely. The demand from
the home trade, however, has been limited by private
treaty for all sorts, and our refiners working under bond
have operated with much caution. The small parcels 1
disposed of were upon previous terms. The low rates
that prevail, however, induce exporters to be still desirous
to do business, arid privately they have taken 3,000
chests of white Havannah afloat at 29s 9d for a near
port ; 3,000 chests of yellow and brown Havannah at
21s to 25s 6d, and 3,600 bags of Pernambuco at 19s per
cwt, which rates are on a par with those that previously
prevailed. At public sale yesterday 870 boxes Havannah
were mostly all taken in above the value.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon a public sale of 1,071
bags Bengal Sugar sold with spirit at an advance on
former rates of 6d to is—fine white Benares fetched
49s to 51s, good 47s to 48s 6d, good middling and mid-
dling 44s 6d to 46s 6d, low 435, damp and washed 45s
to 48s, good soft yellow 41s 6d to 425, middling 40s,
damp 41s 6d per cwt.
COFFEE.—this afternoon there was more desire shown
to operate in Mocha Coffee, and at public sale 335 bales
267 half bales were all sold at full rates. The limited
business transacted privately in Ceylon was at rather
lower rates ; and 3 casks 552 bags at public sale went
at easier quotations. Foreign Coffee is little required ;
786 bags St. Domingo sold at is per cwt decline.
SPICES —For East India and African Ginger there
has been a good demand privately, 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 casks 72 brls went
off 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
operated in with caution by private treaty for home
consumption and exportation, although holders are

Of Long Pepper 20 bags were again taker, in at 40s for
old. The market for Cassia Lignea is in a quiet state,
and the tendency of prices is downwards. Cinnamon is
freely offered upon the terms of the last quarterly sales ;
but few purchases have been made in any kind by ex-
porters or the home trade.
