Her .Ua.jesty's appearance was the signal for. a most en-
thusiastic burst of cheering from thousands in -the Dock-
yard and on board the ships, which was taken up by
those :on the , Essex phone: The cheering continued
severald,lt'ecknowleclged
by her Majesty, in the incist affable afiel
.gtiag-es
ful mariner, , Indeed her , Majesty seemed quite de.,
lighted With the andliekrtk rartmierin Which she
was greeted. She repeatedly turned 'towards theTra'-
falgar and acknowledged the cheers of the veterans, Itlid
thronged the upper-deck, by bowing and smiling. Her
Majesty, we are happy to say, looked uncommonly,
well, and seemed to take a great interest in
the whole of the proceedings. She was dressed in
a blue satin dress, with a white crape hood, trimmed
with blue riband, and wore a white chip bonnet, orna-
mented with blue feathers. Prince Albert, who also
seemed in exellent health, was dressed in plain clothes.
He wore, however, the star and riband of the Order of
the Garter. Shortly after the Royal party entered the
booth they were joined by Admiral Lord A. Beauclerc,l
Capt. Hornby,R.N., the Superintendent of the Dockyard,
Sir William Symonds, and other officers of the dock-yard.
Her Majesty and suite, accompanied by these distin-
guished officers, and also by Earl Minto, then proceeded
to walk round the Trafalgar, Sir William Symonds ex-
plaining to her Majesty and the Prince the process by
which the launch was to be effected. Her Majesty
seemed to take great interest in these explana-
tions,, and, from her ' manner, she appeared to be ad-
dressing various questions to Sir Wm. Symons, on the
subject. During the whole of her progress round the
ship her Majesty was loudly cheered ; and on her return-
ing to the Royal booth, the same enthusiasm was exhi-
bited as' when she first entered it. Her Majesty then
came forward, and stood immediately in front of the booth,
and remained there until after the launch had taken place.
A gun was fired, and the sound of knocking away the
blocks was heard, and every eye was directed towards the
ship. " She moves, she moves!" was the cry, and
slowly and majestically, " like a thing of life,"
in all the calmness of conscious power, did the
noble vessel glide' into that element which is
henceforth to be her home, the scene of her glories,
and over which she is to bear in triumph the glorious
standard of the oc3an Queen. Shouts of " Success to the
Trafalgar," " Hurra," rent the air, as having run out nearly
across the river, she swung to her anchor and was
brought up. A more imposing and majestic sight was never
witnessed, and several old naval • officers who were pre-
. sent, who had frequently seen in other dockyard;;
launches of large ships of war, declared that they had
never seen one td equal that of the Trafalgar. Immedi-
ately the launch was over the steamers and
small craft stood close in shore, in order
to give their passengers an opportunity of
seeing her Majesty, and as each vessel pass-
ed slowly, those on board enthusiastically
cheered the Royal party. Her Majesty was evidently
pleased and came forward bowing most affably, so that
all present had a full opportunity of seeing their
Sovereign. Her Majesty's condescending kindness and
affability was the theme of universal eulogium and won her
" golden opinion from all sects of men." The
Royal party then retired to the house of Captain
Hornby, who had the, honour of entertaining her
Majesty to lunch : after which the Royal party left
-Woolwich in their carriages for London, and were loudly
cheered during the whole of their progress. The Trafalgar
was taken in tow by two steam tugs, and towed to her
moorings off the dockyard, and to-morrow she will be
towed down to Sheerness where she will be docked,
preparatory to being coppered.
The day was exquisitely fine until about ten
minutes after the launch had taken place, when
a pelting shower came on, which played sad havoc
with the ladies, many of whOm were exposed to
the pitiless storm from the absolute inability,
of the town of 'Woolwich to afford accommodation
or even shelter to above one-fourth of those congregated
there to see the launch. It was with the greatest diffi-
culty that anything 'like. conveyance to London could be
procured, every steamer and carriage was crammed.
No doubt many will be obliged to remain there all night.
We arc happy to say that not a single accident of any
description has occurred. All the arrangements were
admirable, and reflect the highest credit on all concerned.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
Immediately on the arrival of her Majesty the yards
of the Salamander, and of the other ships of war in the
offing, were manned. The execution of this beautiful
manoeuvre excited the admiration of all present, and the
sight was picturesque in the extreme. The Trafalgar is
one of the cleanest and most beautiful models ever
launched, and when she is completely rigged, and has all
her stores and guns on board, she will be, if not the very
finest, certainly one of the very finest ships in the navy.
Sir James Gordon, the Deputy-Governor of Greenwich
Hospital, from an early hour in the morning, was present,
and seemed to take vast interest in all the proceedings.
Several of the pensioners of the Hospital were also there,
and the hardy old tars seemed quite to grow young
again at the inspiriting sight. One of them, a
venerable old man, .was close to the bench on
which we were standing when the launch took
place, " Success to the Trafalgar 1" shouted the veteran,
in a voice that would have qualified him for boatswain,
and then, as her figure-head (Nelson) emerged from un-
derneath the shed, he added, in a subdued and almost
choking tone, " Ah, poor Nelson 1" A tear glistened in
his eye—he dashed it away hurriedly with his cuff, and
then, with the voice of a stentor, again raised the cry
of " Success to the Trafalgar !" On inquiry we were in-
formed that he had been one of Nelson's shipmates..
The navy, generally, both officers and men, seemed
highly gratified by her Majesty's presence, which they
I appeared to consider as a happy omen for the service.
Iter Majesty appeared to take great interest in every-
thing relating to the launch, and frequently turned to
Prince-Albert, apparently for the purpose of explaining
to his Royal Ilighnes hat was taking place. Her
Majesty was evidently "'highly gratified at the sponta-
neous bursts of loyalty with which she was everywhere
greeted, and seemed to take pains to come forward, so
that all might see her. Judging from what we wit-
nessed yesterday, we should say that her Majesty has
never been so popular as she is at the present moment,—
more popular she never could have been.
In the booth where we were stationed the ladies ap-
peared quite enraptured with her Majesty's urbanity and
condescension. Many tongues involuntarily exclaimed,
" God bless her," as, she passed along, and one old wea-
ther-beaten naval officer at our elbow exclaimed, " Aye,
that's where a Queen of England ought to be, looking at
her Wooden Walls." Many of the jolly tars who were
stationed in the Trafalgar when she was launched, (and
among the hundreds of persons who crowded her decks
we saw several ladies), flung up their hats in utter con-
tempt of where they might fall, when they saw her Ma-
jesty actually walking round the gallant ship ; and when
on one occasion Captain Hornby introduced a lady clad
in deep mourning to the Queen, who was understood to
be the widow of Captain Hewitt, of the ill-fated Fairy, to
whom her Majesty spoke in the kindest and most affable
manner, the cheers and hurras of the crowd were
terally deafening.

CHANGES IN THE MINISTRY

The following may be regarded as a correct list of the
taveral changes which have taken place in the several
departments of Government. Some have been already
finnounced ; but we repeat those and add others, in order
that the whole may be seen at one view :
Sir George Grey is to have the seals of the Duchy of
Lancaster committed to him, with a seat in the Cabinet.,
who is succeeded as Judge Advocate by Mr. Shell, late
Vice-President of the Board-of Trade. _

Mr. More O'Ferrall, Secretary of the Admiralty, has
been appointed to the post of Financial Secretary of the
Treasury, vice Mr. R. Gordon, resigned. Mr. O'Ferrail
is succeeded at the Admiralty by Mr, Parker (M.P. for
Sheffield), late one of the Lords of the Treasury.
The lion, E, a. Stanley, the other Joint-Secretary of
the Treasury, has been appointed Paymastor•General of
the Forces in the place of Sir Henry Parnell, who, it is
reported, retires from Parliament as well as from office.
Mr. Stanley's successor as Under-Secretary of the Trea-
sury, is Mr. Le Merchant, of the Board of Trade, whose
election, as Member for Harwich, may be regarded as
secure. _ _

----
The Hon. Fox Maule has been transferred from the
Home Department, of which he was the indefatigable
Under Secretary to the Vice-Presidency of tile Board
of Trade. Mr. Maule is succeeded by Lord Seymour,
who has been transferred from the Secretaryship of the
Board of Control, in which post he is succeeded by Mr.
C. Buller—an appointment which will be regarded as a
well-merited recognition by the Government of Mr.
Buller's acknowledged talents and consistent support and
advocacy of Liberal principles.
Lord Plunket has at length resigned the Lord Chan-
cellorship of Ireland. His Lordship's declining health
has long prepared the public for this announcement. Sir
John Campbell, the Attorney-General, is to be his Lord-
ship';: successor, who will be elevated to the Peerage pre-
vious to his receiving the seals of office.
The vacancy in the number of Treasury Lords, will,
it is reported, be filled up by the appointment of the
Hon. W. Cowper, now one of the Commissioners of
Greenwich Hospital. Mr. Bannerman, M.P. for Aber-
deen, is named as Mr. Cowper's successor at Greenwich.
Mr. J. Lefevre, one of the Poor-law Commissioners, is
named as Mr. Le Marchant's successor at the Board of
Trade.
The vacant post of Governor of Bombay is not yet
filled up.

BEES v. gottiNGs.—Thore might have been
seen, not long ago, at Drum, parish of iiirkbean, a goose
and gander with a thriving brood of goslings, running
about the farm-yard, or
paddling in the burn which, fed'
by limpid springs of Critfel Hill, runs sweetly past the
house. On Sunday week, as the family were all going
to church, the birds were turned into a small green to
.prevent them from straying within the range of the foxes;
or other vermin, which haunt the granitic fissures of
Criffel. In this green there happened to be a hive of
.bees, .and in escapinw the foxes the poor geese fared as.
badly as possible': ha the war begun it is impossible
to say ; but, when the inmates returned from church, the
whole fleck were found in great agony, their heads
having been dreadfully stung by the venomous insects.
In a short. time, the old gander and all his progeny diecl,
while mother goose herself alone recovered, and that net
without the greatest difficulty. Insects in this country
are often annoying and troublesoirie -enough ; but this is
almost the only instance we know of in which any of
the class have inflicted a positive injury of this nature
upon the larger animals.—Duinfiies Courier.
. Patrick Cahill has been committed-for trial at
Liverpool for the wilful murder of Eli Robinson, steward
of the ship United States, just arrived from America.
The prisoner was a steerage passenger, and stabbed the
.li‘_!easet.l several times with a knife, for which the only
pr,, vocation seems to have .been'a refusal on Part
of
11'46 victim to give him toLicco. The prisoner hal con-
ducted himself properly during the voyage, but seemed
to have some heavy affliction weighing on his mind,

THE CONTEMPORAINE
TO VICTOR BOHAINE,
Ex-editor of the Figaro, ex-editor of the Europe Late-
raire, ex-publisher of an announced Dictionary, and at the
present moment, pending the contingency of a fourth ex, edi-
tor of the Courrter de l'Europe in London.
Siit,—l owe you thanks for the insertion of my letter ; the
act evinces a degree of courage and simple candour, but as it
happens in all instances of politeness rather reluctantly con-
ceded, you stopped ha;f way, and your negative does not ex-
tend beyond the disclaimer of the article in the Morning
Post ; so there remains the calumnious and infamous article of
the 31st May in the Times ; and you must of course naturally
feel, Mr. Victor Bohaine, that the great weight of the latter
paper is a paramount motive which places me under the ne-
cessity of repeating to you what I already wrote to you on the
9.(1 of June ; a circumstance which I assure you gives me much
pain. As to the lengthened and very simple statement from
yoUrself to the National, it does not concern me in any way
whatever, save and except as far as relates to inac-
curacies respecting facts, and a lack of,sincerity respecting
names, which it will be my endeavour to rectify in my next
publication, the insertion of which I beg to recommend in
your next number, for from the moment the imperfect answer
reached me, steps were taken by me so as legally to obtain jus-
tice of that most base, cowardly, and infamous of calunitzies,
by enforcing through legal means, from the Morning Post and
Times respectively, the disclosure of their correspondent's
name ; so then we shall soon see all about it, Mr. Victor Bo-
haine, for you may take my word that the matter shall not die
" a languishing death."
My publication will be ready for sale on the 25th of the
month, and will be, word for word, an answer to ysur inaccu-
rate and not overtrue narration, since you only give the name
of one, out of two individuals, viz., the Abbe de Genoude. As
to myself, acting openly, boldly, as all those are apt to do who
are only led on by lofty and conscientious conviction, I
have no motive whatever to imitate what you, Mr. Victor
Bohaine, would wish to be mistaken fur a sample of forbear-
ance or delicate feeling, for which, however, you may rest quite
assured no one will give you the least credit, inasmuch as it is
ridiculously absurd, since you gave in print. the very next
day after the departure of these two individuals, the full names
(in your paper) of the Marquis de la Roche Jacquelin and of M.
l'Abbe de Genoude. As to myself, ever more favourably disposed
towards the military than the clerical cloth, I must fill up the
deficiency created by your ingenuous prudence, by confessing
that it is you, Sir. Victor Bohaine, who introduced to me; at my
own residence, underhis name and title, the Marquis de la Roche
Jacquelin; from this positive fact, the inference. is that you
were acquainted with him. However Republican may be my
sentiments, and whatever pride I may derive from them, this
illustrious name, so thoroughly French, will leave me during
the remaining portion of my existence under a pleasing im-
pression, " like to the remembrance of the twilight belonging
to days, alas, long gone ; it flattered, therefore, and pleased me
much, when I received the Marquis de la Roche Jacquelin
under my roof, and the oily thing that surprised and mortified
me was that the Marquis should have selected you, Mr. Victor
Bohaine, for the purpose of introducing him to me; a declara-
tion on my part, which although it may chance not to be abso-
lutely polite, is nevertheless most positively true.
My time being very much taken up, and my eyes being on the
eve of numbering sixty-three years, if you will permit me, Mr.
Victor Bohaine, I wi.l tell you the remainder in my pamphlet,
which will be in circulation on the 30th, and respecting which,
by way of advertisement, I beg of your ingenuous, obliging dis-
position, and perfect delicacy of feeling, that you will be
pleased to insert the following :
" Truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth."
" If all truths are not palatable, it is neither the fault of
truth itself, not of those who speak plain truth."—La Con-
temporaine. Vide the volume on Algiers.

BRAZILIAN IJGARS.—. When the Cutlers'
Company at their fiat niegting; petitioned Parliament to
reduce the duties of flrazllian produce id March last, it
was contended by one of the monopolists that the Bra-
zilian sugar was very inNrior tU C 919111.4 sugar. Atnt a

and the best, equal to the finest Colonial, at 275. per cwt.,
which, with the proposed duty of 365., could by sold for
7d. per lb. We could not buy the same sugar under 9d.

constantly exhibited to the public, we are surprised there
