HER MAJESTY'S SL.T,COND VISIT

TO FALMOUTH.

FALMOUTEt, SEPT. B.—On Sumliy, the 6th inst., at
half•past six r.m., the inhabitants of Falmouth were de-
lighted by the re-appearance of the royal squadron, on
its return from Penzance.

Yesterday morning his Royal Highness Prince Albert
visited Truro, Carclew, the seat of Sir Charles Lemon,
Bart., M.P., and some of the copper 'rind tin mines near
Redruth, and on the north coast of the county. Ile re•
turned at half-pant two P.m , and was escorted through
Falmouth by Ate mayor and corporation, under laurel
arches, to the place of embarkation. A carpet was laid
down the %hole length of the pier, for the accommoda-
tion of his Royal Highness, who left the shore in the
royal barge amidst the acclamations of thousands who
had gathered from far and near. After luncheon,
her Majesty, accompanied by Prince Albert,
the • Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal,
and their attendants, proceedcd in the Fairy
up the beautiful river Fal, by Tregothnan, the seat of
the Earl of Falmouth, and nearly as far as Truro; but
time did not admit of their landing at either of those
places. They then passed down the river, and through
Carrick Roads to Swanpool, in Falmouth Bay, where
they waited about half an I-our, to watch the drawing
of a ground scan. The royal party then re-entered
the harbour, and reached the Victoria and Albert before
dark.

This closed one of the most interesting days in the re-
collection of the inhabitants of Falmouth. It was fortu-
nate that,the weather was serene, both for the multitude
of deeply laden boats that dotted the harbour, and clus-
tered like a swarm of bees around the royal yacht, and
for her Majesty's appreciation of the peculiar beauties of
this neighbourhood.
It is exceedingly gratifying to state, that both her
Majesty and her Royal Coussrt appeared to be in excel-
lent health, and much interested in their excursion.
The royal squadron quitted the harbour this morning
under a royal &date, and, if the weather proves favour-
able, it is under.stoed her Majesty intends visiting Fowey
and Torquay, and will reach Osborne House to-morrow
evening.

THE RIVER PLATE.

(From the London Gazette of lait Evening.)
ADMIRALTY, SETT. 7, 1846.

Dispatches have been received at this office from
Rear-Admiral Inglefiekl, in the River Plate, addressed
to the Secretary of the Admiralty, of which the follow-
ing are copies or extracts : '

IL M. Ship Vernon, eff Monte-Video, June 9.
Sir,—lt affords me the utmost satisfaction to have
it in my power to acquaint. you, for the informa-
tion of the Lords Commisioners of the Admiralty,
that by the arrival of her Majesty's steam-vessel
Alecto from the Parana yesterday evening, I
learned that the convoy, consisting of one hun-
dred and ten vessels of all sizes,_ had passed
the batteries erected at St. Lorenzo, by General ltosas,
to obstruct their paSsage down that river, and had ar-
rived in safety at Obligado; with the exception of the
British barque Caledonia, and two Monte Vidcan ves-
sels, which, having grounded opposite the- batteries,
were obliged to be burnt by our people to prevent their
falling into the hands of the Buenos Ayreans.
Captain liotbam's anxiety to communicate this in-
formation to me, appears to have prevented him from
sending me by this opportunity an official report of this
operation, which cannot fail to reflect great credit upon
all who took part in it ; as scon, however, as I receive
his report, I will forward it for their Lordships' in-
formation.
In the meantime I should mention, that the English
and French steam-vessels were upwards of three and a

half hours engaged with the batteries of St. Lorenzo,
and although scarcely a vessel of the convoy escaped
being hit, yet most providentially not a single casualty
occurred on this occasion on board any of the vessels.
I am sorry, however, to add, that the satisfaction ex-
pressed in the foregoing part of my letter is not un-
mixed with great regret for the loss of life on board the
Lizard on her passage up the river, of the parti-
culars of which their Lordships will Le informed by the
accompanying copy of a letter from Captain Hotham,
inclosing reports from her Majesty's steam-vessels
Alecto, Harpy, and Lizard; of their passages from Monte
Video to the Bajada of Santa Fe, the Commanders of
which vessels appear to have acted; while passing the
batteries, with great judgment and gallantry.—l have, &c.
(Signed) S. H. INGLEFIELD,
Rear-Admiral and Commander-in Chief.

IT. M. ship Gorgon, San Lorenzo, May 30, 1846.
Sir,—l have the honour to transmit official reports
from Commander Austen, of her Majesty's steam sloop
Alecto ; Lieut. Tylden, of her Majesty's sloop Lizard ;
and Lieutenant Proctor, of her Majesty's sloop Harpy,
accompanied by a list of damages of their respective
vessels. It is my duty to bring the good conduct of
these several officers in their engagements with the bat-
teries of San Lorenzo to your notice.
The Alecto was especially placed at a great disadvan-
tage, her progress was retarded by towing three heavily
laden vessels against a current of thrt e knots, and a head
wind; she was exposed to the fire of seven or eight guns
during an hour and a half, and unable from the height of
the cliff to make much impression in return.
The two little iron vessels, Lizard and Harpy, were
enabled, from their light draught of water, to run close
under the cliffs, and thus escaped many of the shots in-
tended for them ; the state of their hulls, and the list
of killed and wounded, prove that, notwithstanding the
precaution of their commanders, they suffered much ;
and those officers deserve credit for the able way in
which their vessels were handled.—l haie, &c.

CHARLES HOTHAM, Captain.
H. M. Steam Sloop Alecto,

River Farana, 9th April, 1846.

Sir,—ln obedience to your orders, I have the honour
to report to you, for the information of the Com-
mander-in-Chief, that on the afternoon of Mon-
day, the 6th inst., whilst passing up the river in her
Majesty's steam sloop under my command, with three
schooners in tow, I observed the enemy assembled in
force in the battery lately erected in the heights of San
Lorenzo. At twenty minutes past two I commenced
firing shell and rockets, with a view to disperse them.
At half-past two the enemy opened a fire with round
and grape from a masked eighteen-pounder placed on
the edge of the cliff, which was immediately followed
by the rest of the enemy's guns, seven in number, all
of them apparently long eighteen-pounders. The fire
of the enemy was quickly returned from her Majesty's
sloop under my command with shot and shell.
In consequence of the current, and strong head-wind
blowing, our progress past the batteries was very slow,
enabling the enemy fo keep up a-smart, and, at first, a
well-directed fire with grape and round shot, for an hour
and ten minutes, within musket range.
Her Majesty's steam sloop was struck by eight round
shot in her hull, besides by numerous grape, but I am
happy to say, that, on this occasion, we had not a man
hurt.
The schooners in tow were likewise fired into by the
enemies, and were hulled in several places. lam unable
to state a hat damages the enemy sustained from our
fire.
I have the honour to inform you that, in passing
Tonelero, where, on the 10th February last, we were
engaged in her Majesty's steam-sloop Alecto with the
enemy's batteries, and had five men wounded, I ob-
served a large party at work, erecting embrasures along
the edge of the cliff.
I was enabled to make out ten altogether, three of
which are finished. From having suffered by the
enemy's fire at the same place on a previous occasion,
and having reason to believe that guns were mounted
on the three finished embrazures, I opened fire upon
them with shells and rockets, but finding they did not
return, after a few rounds I ceased firing. I inclose a
list of damages received by her Majesty's sloop Alecto,
from the enemy.—l have, &c.

H. M. Steam-vessel Harpy, off San Lorenzo,
Parana, 11th May, 1846.
Sir,—ln pursuance of orders from the Commander-
in-Chief, I beg leave to acquaint you, that I arrived
here in her. Majesty's steam-vessel Harpy, under my
command, after experiencing, this morning, a galling fire
from the forts of San Lorenzo, both of musketry, field
pieces, and other guns, within a distance of about sixty
yards. The fire was kept up with great determination
for more than an hour, and we were followed up by
field pieces, together with a large body of concealed
troops, who lined the banks, firing musketry as we
gassed. About ten minutes before we passed out of gun
shot, I was hit by a round shot on the fleshy part of the
right arm, but am going on favourably, although ince-
pacitatid from doing duty. I am happy to state no
other casualty occurred on board. The Harpy is greatly
cut up about the rigging, and has many musket balls
and grape in her hull, funnel, topsides, and boats.
I beg you will bring to the favourable notice of the
Commander-in-chief, Mr.-Bruce, mate, who took charge of
the ship when I was wounded, and also Mr. Ward,
second master, for his cool and steady conduct in attend-
ing to the steering of the Harpy; as also the other
officers and men under my command, for the able as-
sistance they rendered in their respective duties; the
pilot behaved with great credit, and has proved himself
so far an excellent pilot.
I am now repairing damages with all possible despatch,
and shall be ready for sea very shortly.—l have, &c.

H. M.'s Steam-vessel Lizard, above Fort Lorenzo,
River. Pas ana, Five r.ii., April 21.
Sir,—l have the honour to state, for the information
of the Commander-in-Chief, that this morning, at the
distance of six miles from Lorenzo, I observed large
batteries had been erected on a commanding point,
and that the adjacent coast was lined with artillery
and field pieces. At half-past eleven A.m. the
southern batteries opened a heavy fire, and on ap-
proaching nearer, the other batteries and artillery
commenced a quick and well-directed fire also,
which was returned by the Lizard by rockets
and the forecastle gun, until the rocket stand was shot
away, and the gun could no longer be elevated suffi-
ciently to bear on the enemy; at the same time the
heavy shot, grape, and musketry riddling the vessel from
stem to stern, I ordered the-officers and men to go be-
low, but the step, I regret to say, had not the desired
effect, two officers being killed in the gun-room.
The Lizard received seven shot between wind and wa-
ter, besides nine cannon, fourteen grape, and forty-one
musket balls in the hull and bulwarks, and seven cannon
and grape in the funnel and steam pipe.
The boats, main mast, and rigging, fore and aft, are
shot through and through by cannon.
I hoisted three ensigns before we entered the fire, and
rejoice to state came out with two flying, only having
one at the main shot away.
The firing commenced at half past eleven A.m.,
.alad
continued with rapidity until twenty-five minutes past
one P.M., the wind and current strong against us, and
great quantity of water in the hold, delayed us much in
passing. I beg to say the officers and crew evinced
great coolness, particularly John Trillia, the pilot, who
conned the vessel with great judgment through the
whole of the action.
A list of the killed and wounded are named in the
margin.

SUICIDE BY A LUNATlC.—Yesterday afternoon '
inquest was held before Mr. W. Baker, at the Cock and
Magpie, Worship-street, on the body of Mary Ann
Abrahams, aged forty, a married woman, residing at No.
4, Clifton-street, Finsbury. It appeared from the evi-
dence that the mind of the deceased was much-affected,
and she had been confined to her bedroom. On Satur-
day, the Bth of August, she procured a knife out of a
closet in her room and inflicted a severe wound on her
throat. Ifer daughter immediately ran to her assist.;
ante, and she was subsequently removed to St. Bartholo-
mew's Hospital on the same day. She remained there
for upwards of three weeks and then returned home.
She became much attenuated and expired on Monday
last. Verdict, " Temporary insanity.'
CHILD DROPPING.--Yesterday information was
received by the police, that a female infant, apparently
four days old, had been abandoned by its unnatural
parent in the passage of the house of No. 19, New-street,
Golden-square, in the occupation of Mr. Pennington, a
broker. The child was wrapped in an old bla,nicet, ia of
far complexion, blue eyes, and dark hair.
