90 tons of ice ; and a vessel called the Triton, from Dratn„or Dram-
men, also in the kingdom of Norway, arrived at the same period at
the port of Hull, having 150 toils of the article on board. The
arrivals of vessels at these northern ports, in addition to those
already mentioned as having taken place in the river Thames,
laden
with this curious and novel description of cargo, are very remark-
able, and prove the speculative enterprise of the People of this country
to be unlimited. Their enterprise in this instance will be 11 a
amply repaid, for there appears, in consequence of the mildnesso doubt
the past winter, to be a great scarcity of the article, not only of
metropolis and its suburbs, but throughout the in the
country. These
supplies are very opportune, and will be a valuable addition to those
which have taken place from the distant lakes of Northti
America,
which we have made the subject of a special notice on a form rica'
former
sion, and alluded to the extraordinary thickness of the flak e "ca.
blocks of ice brought from that quarter, and of its surprising _srmor
n
ness and solidity. ..
ANOTIIER COLLISION AT SEA..--Late on Monday
night, Mr. Black, the Brighton agent of the General Steam Naviga-
tion Company, was apprised by the Lloyd's agent at Eastbourne of
the discovery by some of the pilots o a
have vessel in the Channel, i
off Beaches' Head, which appeared to been abandoned by ker
crew, and at the same time requested to send a stearn-packet out to
tow the vessel into harbour. The Magnet was, accordingly, dispatched
shortly after midnight, and succeeded in falling in with the vessel.
It was found keel uppermost, and proved to be the Danish barque
llarriet, from St. Croix to Copenhagen, laden with sugar and rum.
It appears that she was run down by the Serlngapatarn on the night
and one of the
of Sunday, but the crew were Bared,

at Hastings, and thence proceeded to The Magnet and

harbour on Wednesday; and the cliffs. were thronged during the
principal part of the day by spectotors of their evolutions.

of the Marchioness of Westminster, the Marchioness of Londonderry,

THE QUEEN'S PLATE.—The Stewards of the Jockey Club
met this morning fort the purpose of hearing and deciding
upon the charge of foul riding made by Mr. Osbaldeston and
Nat; the complaints, however' having been mutually with-
drawn, the case was closed on Nat expressing his regret at
having, in a moment of irritation, used language offensive to
the Squire. Had evidence been gone into, there is not a
shadow of a doubt that it would have been proved that Miss
Elis was driven completely out of the course before she
reached the cords, lot from intention, but from Mr. Osbal-
deston having been too weak from wasting to hold his mare
together.
