day, at the South-Western terminus in the Royal
Clarence-yard.
The royal party were received on alighting from

Admiral the Hon. Sir Thomas Bladen Capel, K.C.8.,
Rear-Admiral Superintendent Prescott, C. 8., the
Lieutenant-Governor, Lord Frederick Fitzclarence,

naval officers, and by a Guard of Honour, furnished
by the Royal Marine Artillery, under Colonel Gibson.
The royal party immediately proceeded on board
the Fairy, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, and
were quickly en route for Osborne.
The usual :compliments were paid her Majesty.
The Victory, the Illustrious, the Cyclops, the Driver,
the Rolla, and various other vessels, were dressed in
colours, manned yards, and cheered ; the Powerful
and Virago, at Spithead, also paid the royal standard
similar marks of respect—the Victory, the Garrison

Her Majesty and Court, landed at Osborne, about
one o'clock, under a salute from Cowes Castle.
It is said the Court will only remain a few days at
Osborne.
The royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord
A. Fitzclarence, and the Black Eagle, Admiralty
steam (yacht, Master-Commander Cook, came up to
Portsmouth Harbour, from Cowes, this afternoon, at
four o'clock.

The Lightning, steam tender, Master-Commander
Petley, will carry her Majesty's letters and dispatches
to Cowes, this evening.

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—The following is an
extract from a letter, dated July 11, written by Sir
James Ross, on board the Investigator, off the Vrow
Islands:—" We have been stopped here by the ice, but
make the attempt to get through in a couple of days.
We had rather a rough passage across the Atlantic, but
managed to rough it, and are at present all well and
happy. No news as yet of Sir John Eranklin. All the
whalers have gone to the south to find an opening
through the ice, having been unsuccessful on this side of
the Strait. We are at present fast to an iceberg, and I
assure you they are very unpleasant customers to deal
with, great pieces breaking off very often, which is rather
dangerous if they strike the ship. This is the last place
we shall have an opportunity of writing from, so that
you will not hear of us again until our return."
PORT OF LONDON REGULATIONS.—It is the intention
of the Corporation of London to revise and alter the
whole of the by-laws and regulations which affect the
shipping interest in the port of London. The great in-
crease of the number of colliers and steamers frequent-
ing the port, has, in a great measure, rendered such
revision and alteration necessary.

annual examination of candidates for fellowships at this
college commenced this morning in the College-hall, and
will be continued daily up to and including Friday next.
There are five vacancies. The papers will be examined
