MICHAELMAS DAY•

ANNIVERSARY OF THE SAILING OF THE
INVINCIBLE ARMADA.
In the year 1588 Felipe 11., King of Spain, hav-
ing resolved to distress Elizabeth, fitted out a fleet,
called the " Invincible Armada." It consisted of 150
large ships, on board of which were mounted 2,620
pieces of cannon, 8,000 seamen, 20,000 soldiers, and
the flower of the Spanish nobility. This fleet, com-
manded by the Duke of Medina-Sidonia (one of the
ancestors of that high-minded Grandee of the same
name, who accompanies the Conde de Montemolin),
sailed from Lisbon (Portugal being at that time in
possession of the Spaniards): when the season was too
far advanced, and being overtaken by a violent
storm, a great part of it was dispersed. Twelve ships,
driven upon the coast of England, were captured by
the English fleet, which consisted of one hundred
sails ; fifty were wrecked upon the coasts of France,
Scotland, Holland, Ireland, and Denmark. Such
was the disastrous fate of an expedition from which
nothing less than the subjugation of England had
been anticipated. When the sad news was brought
to Felipe he coolly uttered these words—" I did not
send it against the wind e

FALMOUTH, SEPT. 24.—The late prevailing wes
erly and north-west winds have caused a great augmen
tation of arrivals of grain vessels at this anchorage,
which, at the present moment contains at least 150 ships
chiefly from the Mediterranean, waiting for orders.
These are irrespective of the ordinary daily arrivals and
departures at and from the port. This large fleet em-
braces a variety of flags, rather more than one-third
being French, Austrian, Russian, Prussian, Norwegian,
Belgian, Swedish, Danish, Hanoverian, Hamburgh,
Greek, lonian, and Maltese. The cargoes, which vary
in quantity from 300 to 3,000 quarters, are chiefly wheat,
barley, or maize, almost without exception in good con-
dition, and the freights range the wide latitude of from
Bs. to 28s. per quarter. A great number of the vessels
are order( d to the continent.
The Marchioness Wellesley, accompanied by her
relative, Mr. M‘Tavish, is expected to embark at the
close of the ensuing week, fur the United States, on a
visit to her family connexions in that country.
Viscount Norreys, accompanied by Mr. Vernon
Harcourt, M.P., leaves town to-day for the Dowager
Countess Waldegrave's seat, Havtstock, Essex, where
Mr. Harcourt's marriage with her Ladyship is to be
solemnised.
AN UNFOUNDED CHARGE.—On Monday, at the
Liverpool police-court, a man and his wife were brought
up on a charge (as it was understood) of interfering
with some police-officers. A gentleman who is a drug-
gist iu Great Homer-street gave the case a very
different complexion. It appeared that the accused
parties were quietly walking, when they were inter-
rupted and pushed against by a drunken man. Officer
405 came up, and afterwards 366. They somehow or
other allowed the drunken man to escape, and took
the accused to the station. The gentleman followed to
hear the charge that would be made made against them,
and was treated with coarseness by the keeper and
officers, and ordered out of the station-house. He had
voluntarily left his business almost unprotected to state
the facts. Mr. Rushton severely reprimanded the
officers, and ordered officer No. 405 (whose duetconuc had
been the most improper) to be suspended. psoners were discharged, as it appeared there was no good
cause for their being taken into custody at all.
ExEcUTION IN lasLAND.—On Friday, at eleven
o'clock, the extreme penalty of the law was carried into
execution in front of the county gaol on Michael Ryan
(Gostha) and Thomas Ryan (Body), who were convicted
at the last assizes of the murder of sub-constable
Crowfley. The unfortunate men were attended by the
Rev. Messrs. Power, Heneberry, and O'Connor, who
were unremitting in administering spiritual comfort to
them in their last moments. The ropes being adjusted
in the press-room, and the caps placed on their heads,
they walked out on the drop, and in a moment were
launched into eternity. Neither of the unfortunate men
made a doolaration as to their guilt or innocence.
