DIFFERENT KINDS OF COALS.—An inquiry of con-
siderable interest and great practical value is now in progress,
we may mention. in connexion with the Museum of Economic
-Geology, in behalf of the Admiralty, in reference to the value
of coals for the use of the steam navy. It is designed, not
merely to ascertain, by chemical analysis, the constituents of the
coals, but, by an extensive series of comparative experiments
to determine their heating powers and the most economical
mode of effecting their combustion. With this object in
view, we find steam-boilers are now being erected at the en-
gineering cellege at Putney ; and vie have no :doubt, from
the well-known skill of Sir Henry de la Beche and Dr. Lyon
Playfair, under whose direction the examination is to be
made, that much information of great importance to manu-
facturers and engineers will be afforded, in addition to the
object for which the Px-Perieleilyi have beep. Laaituteclo—

LANDING OF EIER MAJESTY AT

WEYMOUTH.
(FROM A COMIESPONDENT.)

WEYMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The wind still continuing to
blow hard from the S.W., producing a very heavy sea in the
Channel, her Majesty was unable to proceed this day on her
voyage to the westward. Early in the day a large number of
the inhabitants went over to the Nothe, in order to obtain a
view of the royal yacht. Some guns (under the direction of
S. Scriven, Esq.) were planted on the hill, under a large dis-
play of colours, which were to give a royal salute as soon as
her Majesty should leave the roadstead. At 12 A.M. the
Black Eagle came over in Weymouth roads, when it became
rumoured that her Majesty would land here. Immediately
after a large barge was towed alongside, and One of the ear-
riages taken out, which confirmed the report now universally
believed. The mayor immediately convened the Corporation
and principal inhabitants, in order to make the best arrange-
ment that the shortness of the time would allow to do
honour to our beloved Sovereign. There was but little time
for deliberation, for Lord Paget announced that in about an
hour her Majesty would land. The only things, therefore,
that could be done were, to make an effort to preserve due
order and decorum on this auspicious occasion. Soon after
the royal yacht, with the royal standard flying, steamed
s'owly and majestically across the bay. The Fairy, which
had been detained at the eastward by the weather, now came
into the roads. These splenuid vessels with numbers of
others, which dressed in their best flags, were cruising about
the bay, prevented a magnificent spectacle. The authorities
now arrived on the quay, and a carpet was laid from the
King's steps (the place where his late Majesty George 111.
used to land) to the Bank House,, where the royal carriages
were waiting. The harbour was well filled with boats,
crowded with anxious spectators, who were desirous to see
and do homage to the Monarch. The Coast Guard were in
attendance, under the direction of Captain Kerr, Lieutenants
Allen, Carey, and Woodruffe, and were of great service in
keeping the line open for her Majesty to pass. Nothing,
however, could exceed the order and decorum preserved, and
we feel assured that her Majesty must have been gratified
with her reception. At length the royal standard was lowered
from the yacht and heisted on the barge, which, manned by
twelve stout Britons, now rowed the precious freight, con-
sis it rg of the Queen, Prince Albert, Lord Adolphus Fitz-
clarence, with several other members of the royal suite, to-
wards the harbour. The guns from the Nothe, now pealed
forth at intervals. In a few minutes a lifting of hats and a
buzz of admiration front the crowd (who now saw before
them England's Queen and Prince) told tit( it arrival. Her
Majesty and Prince Albert walked up the steps and
along the quay to the carriage, which was in readiness,
looking the picture of health, and smiling with joyous
satisfaction at the welcome she and her loved
Consort received. As soon as they were seated, a
general shout from the assembled multitude spoke the
feelings of their hearts, gentlemen huzzaing and waiving
their hats, the ladies their handkerchiefs. Her Majesty with
her attendants were driven to Abbotsbury Castle, the seat of
the Right Hon. the Earl of Ilchester, who was unfortunately
from home, being at sea in his yacht, the Peetrel. The royal
party, however, visited the gardens, through which they
were conducted by Mr. Nicholson, his Lordship's gardener.
Her Majesty was pleased with the taste displayed in the ar•
rangernents of the gardens, which reflect much credit on the
designer. After visiting the swannery. and viewing the
other objects of attraction, the illustrious visitors returned
again to Weymouth, and embarked in the same order and
under similar circumstances to their landing. Her Majesty
got on board about a quarter past seven, and was saluted
with twenty-one guns from the Bertha, Colonel Freestone,
having been on shore five hours. We were pleased to see
the Queen looking so well, and her cheerful smile assured us
that she was pleased with her reception. Prince Albert looked
pale, but seemed to feel the hearty welcome he received.
The inhabitants deeply regretted they were not aware of this
honour in time to have made suitable preparations, and were
sorry the time forbade their illuminating; this was felt the
more as the royal yacht lay off in the Bay all the night.
Mr. Adey, at the Royal Library, however, tastefully illumi-
nated his. premises with the royal crown and V. R. A., and
in the evening went on board and presented the London
papers of that day for the use of her Majesty, which were
gra: iously received. In the evening there was a display of
fireworks on the esplanade, and from the Nothe rockets.
blue lights, and cannons were pouring forth their sounds and
colours, which was concluded by a large array of blazing
tar-barrels, which illuminated the hrils for a considerable
period.

Thursday morning, at six o'clock, the wind having mo-
derated, the ,quadron put to sea again, and we 6oubt not that
by this time they are safely at Plymouth. mod save the
Queen and the Prince!

Two of the royal children were on board, but they were
not brtugla on shore.

ninety passengers. The Erin, new iron steam-ship belonging to
the above company, arrived here from London this morning. She
is destined to take out the mails and passengers for India as
far as Malta, from whence the Erin will proceed to Constantl-
Rule, &c.

WINDSOR, THURSDAY EVENING.—Much anxiety has
been suffered in the royal establishment at Frogmore to-day, In
consequence of the reports in the morning papers of the rough
weather experienced by her Majesty and her Royal Consort since
they left the Isle of Wight, on Tuesday last, and that anxiety has
been much lnereased by the non-arrival at Frogrnore House, by
this day's post, of any letters from that part of the coast to which
the royal yacht was said to have been driven for shelter. Her
Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent is in good health, but has been
prevented taking out-door exercise by the almost continual bad
weather since her Royal Highness's return from Osborne House to
Frogmore.

PRESENT TO THE MAYOR AND CORPORATION OF
WiNnsoa.—At a meeting of the town council of Windsor, which
took place yesterday morning, a very scarce portrait of William
Child, Mus. Doc., of Oxford University, from an original painting in
the Music-hall of that city, was presented to the corporation by Mr.
Richard Clarke, gentleman, of her Majesty's Chapel Royal. From
documents which accompanied the present it appears that Dr. Child,
immediately after the Restoration—at which time he was organist
of St. George's Chapel, Windsor—commenced an action against the
deans and canons to recover his arrears of salary ; and, baying suc-
ceeded in his suit, he paved the choir of St. George's with the blue
and white marble, which remains to this day. Me also subscribed
liberally towards the building of the Town-ball, which was erected
from the designs of Si: Christopher Wrtr.. He died in 1666, and wls
buried in St. George's Chapel. at the ale.Of Oe. The rrrtrgt bas
