NAVAL INTELLIGENCE..
THE QUEEN DOWAGER.
PoursmouTn, Female—This morning the Lightning
tender was sent out at 7 o'clOck, to bring ashore the
servants and inferior persona of her Majesty's suite,
with such articles of baggage as had been left yesterday
on board the Howe. The Fairy went out at 10 a.m.,
and her Majesty left the Howe at a quarter before 11.
There was no salute on her leaving, nor yards manned,
her Mjesty having declined both the latter, on account
of the weather, which was both wet and cold. The
yacht was in the hurbour so quickly •(orily "16 minutes
from leaving the Howe) that it appeared asif all hands
were taken by surprise. Sir Charles Ogle, who was
foremost, was just in time to reach the yacht as she
turned into the creek. The rest of the officers whose
attendance was commanded on the oceasion bad to race
for it, and her Majesty, with that kind consideration
which always characterizes, her actions, ordered the
whole back again, with the exception of those whose
attendance was indispensable. Although the tide was
out, the Fairy was with considerable dexterity warped
alongside the jetty by Commander Crispin, but
her Majesty did not leave the yacht until the
baggage and servaets had been stewed in the train,
which was not completed until ten minutes to
twelve o'clock, when the Royal party disembarked
under the escort of
.Sir Charles Ogle and Lord Fitz•
clarenee, who had provided a sedan to carry the Quee❑
Dowager Irons the yacht to the carriages. There were
in attendance to receive her Majesty, besides the heads
of the Governinen4, Lady Augusta and the Hon. Miss
Fitzclarence, whom her Majesty most affectionately
saluted. The Royal train was set in motion at five
minutes to twelve, and left for Nine Elms in charge of
Mr. Young, assistant chief superintendent of the Lon-
don terminus.
The Howe left Lisbon on the 4th inst., and arrived at
Madeira on the Bth. Her Majesty embarked on the
11th, arid sailed on the evening of the 14th ; op the fol.
lowing day, at noon, she passed. the western end of
Madeira, and on that day week made the Saintes, near
Hashant, but the wind being to the northward, did not
make this port until yesterday morning, the 27th. The
Howe's passage from Lisbon to Madeira and England
was made, under ail the circumstances, in the same time
as an ordinary passage direct. She was towed with
some little assistance from the ship (fore and aft sails)
Eif knots, by the Scourge, and sometimes yi without any
aid frorce,the ship at nil. During the voyage a new ar
rangeineut for towing was tried, which was found in all
respects to answer most admirably—towing with one
hawser and two► bridles—the advantages being in -facia.
wing the operation of taking-in tow, and in giving the
towing vessel the power of more freely directing her
own movements.
Her Majesty parted with the officers of the llowe in a
manner which left a feeling 'of regret in the breast of
every gallant fellow among them, but at the same time
impressed all with a sentiment of veneration for the
parental solicitude mainfested by her Majesty in their
future honour and advaneement. With Sir James
Stirling Her Majesty seemed loath to say adieu. so
deeply did she seem to appreciate that Gallant Officer's
ever watchful and loyal attention to her happiness and
that of her illustrious family.
Various an►i numerous instances of the Queen
Dowager's munificent benevolence ashore and of aat
have come to our knowledge, but aa good deeds shun
the light, we shall treat the acts only as such acts should
be treated—wi.h silent admiratiou...
The Mercury tender arrived this morning with a num•
ber of newly entered bands for the vessels fitting at this
port.

The Gorgon steam•sloop, Commander T. A. D. Payn-
or, went out of harbour to-day.
The Sharpshooter steam-vessel, Lieutenant Com-
mending J. C. Bailey, wai paid advance this week and
was about to to out to try her engines last evening, but
broke down before. she had got a dozen yards, and was
compelled to go to one of the buoys.
It is understood the Howe is to come into harbour to
refit.

In Harbanr,—The Victory, Illustrious, Excellent,
Powerful, Bellerophon, Hastings. and Blenheim; Scourge,
Sharpshooter, Lightning. Fire Queen, Echo, and Fairy
steamers ; the Rolla (exercise vessel).
In Dock.—The Orestes, Jackal, and Ajax.
In the Basin.—The Victoria and Albert, Malabar,
Growler, Cormorant, and Rocket.
At Spithead.—The Howe, and Gorgon.
Wind, N.W., morerate breezes, and cloudy weather.
COVE OF CORK, APRIL 24. Phis morning signal
was made by Sir Charles Napier,—"Foreyard is carried
away—make another as a substitute." The Canopus
got a maintopsail yard up in the Flace of a fore, and
bent a maintopsail for a foresail, unbent the foretopsail,
and bent a mizsntopsail instead, which was done and the
sail made in one hour and twenty minutes. The St.
Vincent got the fore yard down, built a fore yard with
a topsail yard and spare spark, got it up, bent and set
the proper sails in two hours and forty minutes,—a
a proof the sailors of Sir Charles Napier's squadron have
not given up seamanship altogether, and been made
into soldiers, as certain scribes would have their readers
believe.
THE ROYAL CLARENCE BATTALION.—This afternoon
Colonel (Captain Superintendent) Sir William E. Parry
and the officers of this battalion, gave the men coto•
prising it a most substantial testimonial of their apprecia-
tion of the proficiency attained in their soldierly duties,
more especially of the praiseworthy manner in which
they had performed all the duties of sentinels in charge
of the Government po.sts on the Gosport side of the
harbour during the late apprehension of riot, in the
shape of a good and well-appointed dinner, in one of the
store-,roonis of the establishment, to which 200 "loyal
men and true" sat down at half-past four o'clock, their
estimable Colonel and Captain Superintendent taking
the; presidential chair, and Majors Grant and Davies
other posts of chairmanship at other points of the festive
board. It is almost suprrfluous to stare that a most

efficient discipline displayed on this occasion. At the

IRELAND.
DUBLIN, Aram 27. The Attorney-General has
adopted the same course in regard to Alcssrs. Smith
O'Brien and -Meagher that was taken yesterday in the
prosecution againat Mr. Mitchell. The indictments
already. foundlhave been qu4,shed—c.r-njicio inrormations•
have been filed, and, in tact, the proceedings have been
recommenced de novo. Atl the traversers „are now
under rule to plead to the informations filed against
them within four days ; and the Crown arc evidently
anxious to secure the trials of the traversers in the
sittings after the present term.
. The Crown deemed it expedient to *abandon the in-
dictments against Messrs. O'Brien and Meagher, al-
though they had not entered any dilatory pleas, and had
aConce Fiined issue with the Crown, because it would
be open to them- to appeal to the House of Lords after
conviction, on the ground raised by Mr. Mitchell's plea,
relative to the disqualification of members of the corpo-
ration to act as grand jurors. Besides, there are upon
the grand jury several magistrates of the borough of
Dublin, including the 'foreman, Sir Edward Borough,
against whom the same objection might be raised under
the Municipal Act.
•
There appears to be full time for the necessary legal
preliminaries, to ensure a trial in the case of Mr.
Mitchell, within the sittings after the present term, hut it
is quite possible that the trials of the two other traver-
sers may be delayed until next term; and, in that case,
the Crown might nor,
in the event of conviction, be able
to obtain judgment. before Michaelmas term.
SALES OF ESTATES:
In the Dublin Evening Post of this afternoon we find the
following statement on the subject The extensive extensive property of the Duke of Buckingham
in Ireland, c ,mprising several thousands of acres—the
sale of which has been committed to the judicious ma
nagement.of Messrs. Williams and C0.,-of Seaford-street,
in this city—was yestelda y opened by publie auction, at
the Chamber of Commerce, in Dame-street. The Buck
ingham'and Chandos estates, in the county of Clare,
were the first submitted to sale, in six different lots; and
atter: several unsuccessful attempts on the part of the
auctioneer to attract a purchaser, the sale wag with-
drawn; after which the entire of those six divisions were
satisfactorily disposed of to one purchaser at a fair rate
of purchase.

•' This day the estates in the Queen's County were
submitted to sale; and from the hour appointed for com-
petition by Mr. Williams, the spacious apartments in
which the sale was conducted was crowded with spirited
competitors From this circumstance it would appear,
that the sound at heart have no apprehensions about the
peace of the country, and the security of property in
Ireland. The example of the enterprising capitalist
who ye.terday swept the board, has this day been fol-
lowed by a great number of persons, by whom a spirited
competition has been carried on. Several lots of the
Queen's County estates were this day disposed of, at
prices varying from twenty to twenty-five years' pur-
chase."

REPEAL.
The Cork Town Council has again declared for repeal
by a large majority.
' The Limerick Examiner proposes the following plan
for puzzling the Government reporters by carrying on
the agitation in the Irish tongue:—
" Can the stenographers report in Irish ? It appears
to be forgotten that some of the beat speakers, aye, and
the truest patriots in Ireland. are masters of the sweet-
flowing and most expressive Gaelic, no dialect of which
is-unintelligible to large masses of people in Munster,
at all events. The best speech we ever heard delivered,
and we have heard some good ones—was oee in Irish,
and it was spoken by O'Connell. Every priest, and
numbers of la) men, in this part of Ireland, can speak
fluently, racily, unreportably, in the figurative, national,
glorious old language ; and this being so, .we should
like, indeed, to look at a lettered Cockney taking down
the speech—words, idioms, allusions, ampinboligies, and
nil—and then transcribing his notes' for the Attorney-
General or Lord Clarendon. His Lordship's biblical
tastes may have brought him acquainted with the s en.
known tongues,' but it 'is at least doubtful whether he
he:could spell his way through a speech in Irish from
the note-book of either Irish ) English stenographer."
THE AMENT. •
The following. extraordinary notification • appears in
the Waterford Ckronicle;—
"Peremptory sale by'auction of fire arms. Supply
yourselves now or never! A few posts back the sub-
scriber intimated to the public his intention to offer for
sale, by auction, a varied assortment of fire arms. He
now takes leave to apprise the public generally, that he
proposes on Friday, the sth day of. May next, and
folio wing days, till disposed of, to offer for -unreserved
sale, at 119. Parade, opposite the Steam Packet Station,
300 first-rate guns, and flO pistols. among which connois
seurs will find such articles as to tickle their fancy, and of
Which they can have a bargain, as his instrultions are to
sell, bring whatever price they may. Pistols from one to
six barrels, round and square blunderbusses, carbines,
fowling and twist barrel guns, both double and single,
with bayonets. Some first class rifles! Together with
shot, bullets, powder flasks, percussion caps, bullet
moulds, and all other requisites befitting such articles.
Persons wishing to supply themselves with any of the
above are requested to make an early application, as
they may not again have so favourable an opportunity

SANITARY STATE OF THE CITY.--Thursday night a
Bride, Fleet-street, was held in
public meeting of the inhabitants the parish of St.
joining the church, for the purpose of ltincrchurch-
wardens tor the ensuint, year, and also
thoef vestry room ad-
petitioning the House of Commons on the sanitary im-
provement of the City, as suggested by the Court of
Sewers. The Rev. Charles Marshall, the vicar, having
electing
' propriety of
been called to the chair, and Messrs. Nason and Cot
terell elected as churchwardens; Dir. Williams, one of
the members of the Court of Common Council, brought
under the con4ideratima of the meeting the subject of
the sewers. In no city in the world, he contended, was
the drainage so complete as in the city of London.
•Cliere were sixty-one miles of public thoroughfare and
forty-two miles of sew, rs of the best description. The
Government, however, in their anxiety for a system 01
centralization, found fault with the sewers being too
large. The object the City Commissioners of Sewers
had in view in going to Parliament for extra powers was,
to compel every person to make drains from the houses
to the sewers, so that every kind of filth could be car- i
tied off. •It was the duty of the inhabitants to protect
themselves, by supporting the Cenatnissioners of Sewers,
who were elected by themselves (the inhabitants) from
the Government measure. Mr. Williams at some length
showed, that whilst the expense of other commissions had
been from 25 to 33 per cent., in the City it had been
but 17 per cent., and concluded by moving that the fol.
lowing petition be presented to the House of Commons,
which was seconded by Mr. Nason, and after some few
words from Mr. Edkins, Mr. Bacon, Mr. Lowe, &c., was
carried unanimously :—" To the Honoucable the Com-
mons of the United Kingdom, &c. The humble petition
ot the
imh, h
of
.teht the parishtat a
of
Bill S
is now pending St. Bride, withinedi the
city
of London, shng
in
your Honourable House ' to provide for the sanitary im-
provement of the city of London and the liberties
thereof, and for the )setter cleansing, sewering, paving,
and lighting the same.' That your petitioners are of
opinion that the provisions of the said Bill are well
calculated to effect the salutary objects thereby intended
for the sanitary regulation and improvement of the city
of London. That the centralization of power in any'
a local
general board for acccomplishing the objects before
the Poor-law
mentioned, your petitioners consider highly objection-
able, and tending to diminish the authority of the local
body, by depriving them of the management and control
of the improvement which, from their knowledge, they are
most competent to carry :into effect. Your petitioners,
Hall,
therefore, humbly pray your Honourable House that the
said Bill may pass into a law, and that your Honourable
House will not pass any measure establishing a general
board of Government officers, and depriving the local
authorities of the management of their own affairs."
After the transaction of some business of merely
character, the meeting broke up.
