CARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION
PAINT. specially patronised by the British and other Govern-
ments, the Hon. East India Company, the principal Dock Com-
panies, most public bodies, and by the nobility, clergy, and gentry,
for out-door work at their country seats. The ANTI-CORROSION
is particularly recommended as the most durable out-door paints ver
invented for the preservation of every description of iron, od,
atone, brick, compo, cement, &c., work, as has been proved by the
practical test of upwards of 60 years, and by the numerous testi-
monials (between 300 and 400) in its favour, and which, from the
rank and station in society of those who have given them, have
perhaps never yet been equalled by anything of the kind hitherto
brought before the public notice.
A Copy of the testimonials, together with a list of prices, colours,
and other particulars. will be forwarded on application to Walter
Carson, 15, Tokenhouse-yard, back of the Bank of England. No
agents.

'.M., and-Mealy afterward;; appeaicd at the landing-
place in full naval uniform with the C'ommodtre. Super-
intendent of the dockyard. .

At precisely a qua-rter past four o'clock, a royal salute
fired from the mortar battery announced the near ap-
proach of her Majesty, and in about two minutes after
the Royal carriage containing her Majesty, his R?ya
Highness Prince Albert, his Royal Highness the Prince
of Wales, and her Royal Highness the Princess Royal,
entered the dockyard, and proceeded to the place of em-
barkation between two lines of the infantry, end sly ng
the artillery companies of the Deckyo.ra Brigade.
Her Majesty al;glited aesome distance-Inm the lend-
ing.place, and vieis ruceivcd by the E,el of Auckland
and the other Lords of the' Admiralty, Commodore Sir
Gordon Bremer, Lee:ten-Ire-Genera! lei,- Teotteis Down-
peen, and Brigailc-elejer Cuppege. Iler TA..jesly ap-
peared in excellint heeeth at d ti.pirits and leaning on the
arm of the Earl of Auckland, walked. along the grcun
baize carpeting, and descended the steps to the baree of
the Royal yacht, in waiting at the place of embarkation.
Her Majesty was handed on board by the Earl of Auck-
land, and was immediately joined by Prince Alb-rt, the
Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal. The Countess
of Gainsborough and Lady Canning (Laeies in Waiting),
and Lord Alfred Paget, and Captain the Hon. A. Gordon
(Equerries in Waiting), also entered the barge, and were
steered to the Royal yacht by Captain Lord Adolphus
Fitzclarence, G.C.H. The guard of honour of the Royal
Marines presented arms, and the band played elle National
Anthem at her Majesty walked along the wharf, and the
Boat Brigade, drawn up across the river, above the
Fisgard frigate, fired a Royal salute from four 24-pounder
guns. Hundreds of boats were on the river, and her
Majesty reached and ascended the steps leading to the
Royal yacht amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the thou-
sands of well•dressed spectators on the dockyard wharf
walls and on the river.

At forty minutes past four o'clock the Royal yacht,-
left her moorings, and proceeded slowly down the river
under a Royal salute, fired by aparty of the Dockyard
l 3 at Brigade- from the 32-pounder guns on board the
-1 and frigate. ILer Majesty -conttnued on ikel‘ in
con-venation with Prince Alb.,rt, the Earl of Ant:Maud,
and Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, and the even-
ing being very fine, awl the Fisgard and other vessels in
the river decorated with numerous cilours, the scene
was of a very animated description.
The Black Eagle steam-vessel, Master-Commander S.
B. Cook, with four of the Royal carriages on board; the
Vivid steam-vessel, Captain Smith, with a Queen's mes-
senger and an inspector and a party of the A division of

supplied with one of Porter's anchors, and will anchor
with them to-night in the Switclome distance below the
Nore, their holding powers being highly approved of by
the officers commanding these vessels. At an early hour
to-morrow the vessels will proceed for the North Sea,
and steer direct for the Bay of Aberdeen, where they
may be expected to arrive between three and five o'clock
on Thursday afternoon.
Commodore Sir Gordon Bremer, with his Flag-Lieu-
tenant Fowler, and Mr. Dyer, secretary, went down the
river with the squadron in the Monkey, and will return;
to-night with the Lords of the Admiralty,

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
COWES, SEPT. 5.
The Hermann, having taken in 40 tons of coals, sailed
this morning at four o'clock for Bremen. It is a sur-
prising thing that knowing that the north shore of the
Solent has regular soundings, that the shore is all mud,
and that a vessel going on it could take no harm, that
these large vessels should take the south shore, where
the soundings are so irregular and the whole coast so
rocky. The Pottinger,Cyclops,and Hermann fortunately
missed the rocks, and took good berths; the latter vessel
struck just to the westward of Gurnet Ledge. The
bottom proved to be soft clay, and her weight sent her
two feet into it, which accounts for her slipping off be-
fore high water, though the tides were taking off; she
had made a dock for-herself, and obtained thereby two
feet more water, and there being nearly six feet more
water aft than tbrward she was got off without assist-
ance even from the tug-boat.
