VISIT of the QUEEN and PRINCE
ALBERT TO FOWEY.
_

- - - - -- -
Tuesday being the day appointed for celebrating the
visit of her Majesty and Prince Albert to this port, the
inhabitants, on the day preceding, were actively en-
gaged in decorating the scene of festivity. The dining-
room at the ship Inn was tastefully ornamented with
evergreens and festoons of flowers, interspersed with ap-
propriate mottoes. The Town Hall vas also beautifully
fitted up, under the superintendence of Mr. Peach, by
the assistance of the ladies. Trees were planted in the
streets, and flags hoisted, &c. The inhabitants assembled
at the Town Hall, at one o'clock, and walked in pro
cession, headed by the band of Messrs. Emidy, and amid
the ringing of bells, to the quay, where the royal party
triad landed. Here a large number of ladies and others
were assembled, and the procession forming a semi-
circle, the following address was given by Captain
Davis, R.M. :
" Ladies and gentlemen, and fellow-townsmen,—We
are assembled here this day for the purpose of commemo-
rating and handing down to the latest posterity the visit
of our beloved and gracious sovereign Queen Victoria,
and her Majesty's Royal Consort Prince Albert, to this
town and vicinity, on the Bth of September, 1846 ;. and
having been deputed by the unanimous choice of my
fellow townsmen (in consequence of Mr. Treffry"s in-
ability to attend) to express their feelings and wishes
on this memorable occasion, I think that I cannot more
effectually or more appropriately do so, than by calling
these steps on which her Majesty first landed, by ithe
appellation of " TICTORIA STAIRS ;" and the quay,
whereupon we now stand, " ALBERT QUAY," instead of
Broadslip. But as the zeal of a few of our townsmen
led them on the spur of the moment, immediately after
the Queen's landing, to bestow the recognised rites of
baptism on the landing place, nothing remains for US
but to ratify, in a formal manner, the name already given
of " Victoria Stairs," and which we will now confirm by
three hearty British cheers. Her Majesty and Prince
Albert having actually passed round three sides of the
square of the quay in their carriage on their landing,
and having walked over the fourth side on their em-
barkation, I think that a more appropriate name could
not have been selected, and I very much question, out of
the numerous places called after the Queen and the
Prince in different parts of her Majesty's widely ex-
tended dominions, whether there has ever been any
other similarly honoured, or more deserving of the ap-
pellation ; therefore, I declare, that from henceforth and
for ever, the name of Broadslip shall cease, and give
place to that of " Albert Quay," which is hereby ratified
by the sprinkling of a bottle of good old port. I know
of no instance on record where any town has been so
honoured as this by its Sovereign's confidence as to
walk nearly a quarter of a mile unattended by a single
soldier, policeman, or even the constables of the
town, through a crowded street, where thousands of
strangers (unknown even to the inhabitants themselves)
had assembled to have a sight of their beloved
Queen, and which demonstratively proves, were
proof necessary, that the best safe-guard for a
British monarch is by reigning like our revered
Queen in the hearts and affections of her loyal and de-
voted subjects. Alf who were in a position to judge
must have been satisfied, from her Majesty's frequently
stopping to acknowledge the enthusiastic cheering of
" one and all" of her Majesty's faithful Cornish subjects,
and by the frequent smile on her royal countenance, and
the graceful manner in which the compliments were ac-
knowledged, both in passing through the streets, and
even after her Majesty and Prince Albert had de-
scended into the royal barge, that pleasurable sensations
predominated in their royal breasts; but, if any other
proof were required, that is afforded by a letter
which I have had the honour to receive from Lord Pal-
merston, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in
which his Lordship assures me that her Majesty and
Prince Albert were much gratified by their visit at Fe-
wey.'—lt now becomes my gratifying duty thus publicly
to announce, that it is the wish that the inhabitants
of i'owey, should erect, by subscription, a suitable me-
morial (as hereafter to be agreed upon) to perpetuate
the day and year of her Majesty's visit to the latest
generations, to be engraven on porphyry, as the most
durable material, which Mr. Treffry will provide with-
out any charge to the inhabitants."—God save the
Queen I ! !

After duly performing the ceremony of dashing the
bottle, and some hearty rounds of cheering, with " God
save the Queen" from the band, the procession retnrned
in the same order. At three o'clock, a large party of
the gentry and tradesmen of Fowey and its neighbour-
hood, and of St. Austell, Bodmin, &c., dined at the
Ship Inn. In the absence of Mr. reffry, the chair was
taken by Captain Davis, R.M. The usual loyal toasts
were drunk, appropriate speeches were made, and
loyalty and hilarity went hand in hand. At five o'clock,
the aged and poor inhabitants assembled in the Town-
hall, to enjoy the steaming beverage, liberal subscrip-
dons having been obtained for the purpose; and being
joined by a large number who had purchased tickets,
gratification reigned throughout the Hall, and many an
aged countenance beamed with the smiles of younger
days. The festivities closed with a ball, and dancing was
kept up till a late hour.— West Briton.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE
TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
The advance of the Terrier was the only ,movement of any
consequence in the Cesarewitch betting—from 20 to 1 he
sprung to 14 to I, leaving off second favourite, and with
several " enquiring friends." Tom Tullock was steady at
7 to 1, but the Baron and Jonathan Wild, who figured so
conspicuously in the quotations last week, were sadly at a
discount') nor were Sir Tatton Sykes or Sting in any de-
mand. The general betting extended over a large field of
horses, but was in small amounts, and without any other
feature worth speaking of.

PRISON-BREAKING.—Yesterday morning, a man,
named Edmund Pithers, who had given himself up as a
deserter from the 28th Regiment of Foot on Saturday
last, effected his escape from the Windsor Borough Gaol,
by breaking through the ceiling and roof of the room in
which he was confined, and then letting himself down
into the back premises of the Five Bells public. house,
which adjoin the prison. Mr. Parker, the landlord,
seeing a man come rolling over the roof of an out-
building in his yard, and quietly walk out into the road
towards the Great Park, immediately gave information
to the gaoler, when the prisoner was pursued, retaken,
and more securely confined, until the order arrives from
the Horse Guards for hi 6 removal to the regiment from
which he deoerted,
