PROGRESS OF THE ROYAL
SQUADRON.
(Prom the Herald.)
The Royal squadron, on leaving Woolwich on
Tuesday, proceeded at half speed down the River.
The Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord Adolphus
Fitzelarence, carried the Royal standard at the main,
and the Admiralty flag at the fore ; and as she ma-
jestically swept past the numerous craft was cheered
most eathusiasticallv by the crews. She had the
start of the Black Eagle, steam-yacht, and Vivid
steam-packet, for several minutes; but the
soon came up with the Royal yacht, and took up her
station at about half-a-cable's length on the port
quarter. The Black Eagle was to have followed at a
similar distance on the starboard quarter, but the
Victoria and Albert very soon put on full speed, and
the Black Eagle could not come up to her station.
The position, however, which was assigned to the
Black Eagle, was most ably and gracefully occupied
by a remarkably handsome private steam-yacht, end
being of smiler rig to the Vivid the progress of the
trio down the river produced a beautiful effect. Of
course the two smaller vessels were much faster than
the Victoria and Albert, and had to work expan-
sively, and to ease almost every five minutes to keep
at a respectful distance.
As the squadron proceeded numerous steam-ves-
sels, crowded with passengers, cheered heartily as
they swept by. A royal salute greeted the Royal
yacht at Erith, and a salute from the grounds of
Alderman Harmer at Greenbithe brought the Queen
and Prince Albert on the paddle-box gallery of the
Victoria and Albert, where they remained until the
arrival of the squadron off Gravesend, when another
salute was fired from the Rosherville-pier, and the
caanon from Tilbury Port thundered forth its homage.
Several ships, too, manned yards and cheered, and
the Queen and the Prince both repeatedly acknow-
ledged with many bows the repeated enthusiastic ac-
clamations which burst forth from the numerous ves-
sels which were passed.
On arriving at the Nore, the Virago, steam-sloop,
Commander Harris, was found to be under weigh,
rockets shot up from the shore, and signal-lights
issued from the flag-ship, the Ocean. These were
answered from the Royal yacht, and the signal was,
instead of anchoring, as at first intended, to proceed
—the fineness of the night, which was very beautiful
indeed, the moon having risen and the stars twink-
ling in great brilliancy, no wind and a clear course,
tempted those who had charge of the navigation to
make the most of these providential circum-
stances, and to push on without stopping, so that they
might be able to get into real blue water in good
time.
The Virago now took the place of the private
yacht before mentioned, and away sped the royal
•quadron ; but such was the pace, that it was very
.vident if they carried on full swing, the escort of the
Royal yacht would consist only of the Vivid, Master
Commander Smithett.
At eight P.M., as the Victoria and Albert was get
ting pretty. near the Mouse Light, the Virago was
dropping astern fast, and the Black Eagle was at least
four miles behind.
We should have said that the Dryad, Woolwich
Company's fast steamboat, kept up with the Royal
squadron all the way down the river, notwithstanding
she was crowded with a pleasure party, and at a
couple of miles below Gravesend ranged alongside,
and the people on board gave her Majesty three
hearty farewell cheers.
(From the Times.)
The passage of the Victoria and Albert steam-yacht,
,pith her MHjilsty and the Royal Family, down the
Thames, after their embarkation on Tuesday afternoon
at Woolwich, for Scotland, was somewhat intricate, in
conscqui nee of the large number of colliers and other
vessels that were beating up with the tide. No mishap,
: owever, occurred. The Royal yacht, with the Royal
standard flying at the main, took the lead, and her beau-
tiful and stately appearance as she steamed along, al-
excited much admiration.
though at a moderate pee,
At Erith, Purficet, Greenhitle, &c., crowds of spectators
lined the shores to view the progress of the Royal steam
fleet, and although it was nearly dark when the squadron
passed Gravesend, the Terrace and Town Piers, as also
the river wall, were crowded with visitors, who experi-
enced little difficulty in picking out her Majesty's yacht
•rom the fleet of steamers that accompanied her by the
brilliant lights shining from her suite of cabins. Her
squadron, the Black Eagle, Vivid, and the Undine, fol-
lowed in her wake, with the Trinity yacht.
Contrary to general expectation, the squadron pro-
ceeded direct to sea, not anchoring in the Swin, as was
anticipated, for the night. The outer course was taken,
probably to insure the greatest possible security.
The General Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship
Vivid reports passing a squadron of steamers off Yar-
mouth at half-past two o'clock yesterday morning,
which, from the lights was believed to be the Royal
squadron. It being exceedingly dark, however, their
trim could not be easily discerned, but the Vivid not
meeting with the squadron in her trip up the river, it
is supposed that that must have been the yacht and
squadron seen in Yarmouth-roads. They were outside
the long ridge of sands, some distance from the beach.
Xt the speed they were going it is very probable that
her Majesty will reach Aberdeen this (Thursday)
morning.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,— It must be highly gratifying to those of your
readers who, like yourself, remained the friends and ad-
vocates of the deeply:injured Lamartine amidst the fury
of the storm that set in against him, to know that you
have commenced publishing his able defence in the co-
lumns of The Sun.
Lamartine will yet triumph over his calumniators.
lie is already avenged. France needs repentance, for
she has injured the man who saved her in the hour of
peril. The pages of her history are stained with in-
gratitude. Let the tears of repentance cleanse them.
France must acknowledge her error, retract her calum-
nies, and make reparation fur the injury she has in-
flicted on her honest and illustrious son.

I hope, Sir, that every portion of the pamphlet you
publish in the columns of your paper will be accom-
panied:by your own comments, and thus complete a work
which ri fleets on your jourcal the highest praise, and
which must also yield the sweetest satisfaction.—l am
Sir, yours respectfully, G. H.
Westminster-road, Sept. 6, 1848.

TILE LATE ACCIDENT AT LEIGIITON.—The direc-
tors of the London and North-Western line have re-
ported to the Commissioners of Railways the particulars
of the accident at Leighton. It is expected, from the
peculiarity of the case, that an official inquiry will be
instituted. The information received from the sufferers
lying at Leighton is that they are in a favourable con-
dition. It is not, true that Ross, the engine-driver, is
worse than he was yesterday.
THE " PRIVILEGED" CLASS.— In the small county
of Nottingham there are no less than four " extra paro-
chial" noblemen, namely, the Dukes of Portland and
Newcastle, and Earls Scarborough and Manners. The
extra parochial favour.. in that cuunty is on a par with
the game preserving; high time both were altered.—
From a Correspondent.
