a tour. His Serene Highness proceeded to Southampton ;
after viewing that place a short time, the Prince proceeded to

the Prince crossed the Southampton water to the Isle of
'Wight, and took a hasty view of that delightful country.—
On Thursday the Prince left Ryde for Portsmouth, where his
Serene Highness was received with the honours suitable to his
exalted rank. The Prince was received on board the Queen
Charlotte with a Royal salute. His Serene Highness was con-
ducted over the extensive Dock-yards, and with the different
works going on in them the Prince took considerable in,
terest, and appeared much delifihted. His Serene Highness
was attended by the principal Othcers of the Dock-yard. He
was also conducted through the Fort and Garrison, where he
was received with military honours.—His Serene Highness
arrived across the country at Oxford on Friday morning; where

THE W.ATER EXCURSION OF TILE LORD MAYOR AND
ALDERMEN OF LONDON.--Wednesday the Right lion. the
Lord Mayor, the Aldermen, the Chief Members of the Cor-
' poration, the Lady Mayoress, and a large party of Ladies, to-
gether with the Secretary to the Admiralty, Admiral Sir Seo.
Cockburn, and most of those connected with the Conservancy
or the River Thames, embarked in the City state barges, ac-
cording to the plan already published. The squadron was towed
down the river by a large steam-yacht. The weather was ex-
tremely tempestuous. Upon the arrival of the squadron at South-
end, boats were hailed to convey the passengers to the shore.
Unfortunately two of the tirst boats winch landed were swamp-
ed, and to land the Ladies and the Aldermen was found to
be impossible, until a great deal of preparation was made,
the ordinary mode having failed in the two first attempts.—
Bathing machines and caravans were dragged down to the
shore, to assist in the labour of landing, but still great incon-
venience arose. The Ladies were subject to great annoyance,
for it was not possible to get to the beach without the assist-
since of the small boats, anti the weather was so bad that the
water became soon knee deep in the boat*, into which the spray
dashed with great fury. The Lady Mayoress encountered all
the perils of the voyage with singular fbrtitude. Many of her
fair guests, we are sorry to say, suffered by their fears as well as
in their persons, but all were safely landed. The inhabitants
of Southend received them with the greatest demonstrations of
joy, and invited the party to a dinner. Thursday the greater
number embarked, and sailed to Yantlet Creek, where
soundings were taken according to custom. Ilis Lordship
was saluted by the several men of war lying there, the yards
were manned, and every honour done to the Civic body. ,tidmi-
ral Sir George Cockburn and several Captains came on board,
and were invited to the dinner and ball given by his Lordship.
The party returned to Southend at four o'clock, and dined to
the number of 110. The wines were plentiful. In the course
of the day the ladies, who did not relish the idea of re-embark-
ing, were .amused by donkey races, and at night there WU'S
splendid exhibition of fireworks. The ball was brilliant.--
} ridgy the party proceeded to Rochester, where his Lordship
went three times round the stone that bounds his jurisdiction
as Conservator of the River, and laid the civic sword over it.
Upon their arrival at Rochester, they were received by the
Mayor and Corporation, who were invited to the dinner.—
Many were the festivities in that ancient town on the occasion.
Saturday morning the whole party re-embarked, in order to
get to town, but the steam yacht had been dismissed, the wind
was adverse, and the ladies were unable to undergo any more
fright. All again disembarked, separated into small parties,
and reached town by different conveyances.

The marriage of Lord Viscount Sidmouth with the Hon.
Miss Townsend is to take place tomorrow morning.

DEATH OF BISHOP O'DONNELL.—Died on
Friday morning lust, at his house in this city,
the Right Reverend CHARLES O'DONNELL, D. D.
Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Derry,
at the advanced age of '76.- Duriug thirty years
that he exercised the prelatical function in this
Bishopric, his conduct was invariably such as to
insure him the regard of all ranks and denornina-
tions.—(Londonderry Journal).
SIR DENIS PACK•---Died, on Thursday the
24th instant, at the house of Lord BEItESFORD,
Wimpole-street, Major-General Sir Da is PACK,
K. C. 8., C. T. S., and other Orders, Colonel of
the 84th Foot, and Lieutenant.ti-overnor,of Ply-
mouth. The death of this gallant Officer is as
much to be lamented in a public view, as it will
be by his private friends and afflicted family. His
name is associated with every glory of the late
war, and so familiar to the. public, that we have
only in common with it, sincerely to lament his
untimely loss to his country, though he lived long
enough to reap for himself a full harvest of
honour and renown.
