Her Majesty is accompanied on this excursion by his
Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales,
Princess Royal, Prince Arthur, and Princesses Helen
and Louise. In her suite are the Hon. Col. Phipps and
Captain du Plat, the Right Hon. Mr. Labouchere, Secre-
tary of the Colonies ; Sir James Clark, her Majesty's
physician'; and General Buckley ' • the Ladies-in-Wait•
ing, the Hon. Miss 13yng and Lady Churchill.
The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert steamed in
splendidly, followed in line by the Fairy, Commander
Welsh ; Irene Trinity yacht, Capt. Evans; Vivid, Capt.
Ii len ; Black Eagle, and Salamander.
Shortly afterwards her Majesty embarked in her
barge, and proceeded up the river as far as the village
of Dittishain, which nestles amid its renowned plum-
tree orchards. The Prince entered a new river steamer
(the Dartmou.h), and ascended nearly as far as Totnee,
past the beautiful woods of Sharphaw, which lend their
charm to the rich scenery of the Dart.
Both her Majesty and the Prince expressed their de-
light at the attractive features of this lovely river. Oa
their return they lauded to take a ehort inland drive,
and were received on the steps of the quay by the mayor,
aldermen, and council, attended by the corporate officers,
amid the enthiv,iastic cheers of multitudes assembled on
the Esplanade, called the Now Ground.
The ,arty, occupying three carriages, were escorted
by Sir Henry Searle to the surrounding heights, which
command views of the hay, with Start-point, and the
light-house at its extremity. On returning, they were
oonducted through the grounds of Mount Boone, Sir
Henry's residence.
It bein,, the day preceding the Regatta, her Majesty
contributed munificently to the funds, and no doubt this
auspicious visit will greatly enhance the brilliancy and
gaiety of tie recreation. Ms Majesty's donation is to
ho contended for by the boatmen of the town.
With the greatest expedition a triumphal arch of ever-
greens was constructed on the quay. Numerous flags
were displayed from tower ar.d h.+lcony, and the merry
peals of bells animated the joyous spectacle. An illumi-
nation, which must be very effectively seen from the
squadron, evinces the spirit with which the inhabitants
can improvise their rejoicing on this festive occasion.
This was most graciously acknowledged by the Royal
yacht and the Fairy being illuminated with bluelights.
TUESDAY MORNING, Aug. 12.
The morning broke cloudy, with slight rain. Wind
from the S.W. The Vivid weighed anchor at 6 a.rn.,
and steamed of the harbour, followed an hour after by

A good deal of allowance might fairly be con-
ceded to the Metropolitan Board at the outset of
their career. By this time, however, it is not
too much to expect that the Board should exhibit
some degree of intelligence; decision, and purpose
in connection with the disposal of the sewage.
Withheld from the prosecution of the foolish
scheme to which they had given their assent by
the judicious interposition of Sir BICNJAM IN HILL,
They appear to be quite at sea as to what they
should do next, and yet nothing can be easier to
letermine. The inhabitants 'of Greenwich,
Woolwich, &c., have an inveterate objection to be
poisoned by the filth of the metroplis, and public
,picion backs official authority in warding the
danger from them. Whlt, then, is to be done ?
Why, convey the sewage beyond Gravesend, where
it will not return to annoy anybody, but will be
carried clean out to sea.

bide among them. Even a Judge of the Supreme
Court, in that glorious go-ahead land, can use his
wits, and his bowie-knife, too, as ingeniously and
as promptly as a regl'r Kintuck man.
The case we allude to is certainly one in which
regular law was suspended on both sides. Judge
TERRY, of the Supreme Court of California, con-
ceived that he had a special calling to put down
the Vigilance Committee, which, since the execu
Con of the gambling murderers, CASEY and
Cons, has kept order by Lynch Lavv in the city
of San Francisco. The functions of Judge TERRY
and all inferior judges and magistrates were cer-
tainly in a most provoking state of abeyance.
Not, however, before it was needed. Never in
modern history had such a gang of gamblers
obtained possession of all magisterial and
other appointments as in California. By
a ballot-box, which Mr. BERKELEY'S oppo-
nents will not soon forget, they had ele-
vated a set of thorough vagabonds to the
highest ollicee of the State. Mr. HERBERT, the
acquitted murderer of the waiter, was their repre-
sentative; a re tliy fair example of his constituency;
—plain honest peoplesuspected nothing, and took
therefore no precautions, till one day fifteen hun-
dred votes wore returned from a district contain-
ing about three hundred, and five hundred from
another which did not muster more than thirty
al Zogether. The mystery of rascal-rule was now
solved, and the murder in open day of the editor
who the bohlaes3 to denounce the blacklegs
brought on the cri. rio decent inhabitants

Anything short of this will provoke opposition,
tud will not answer tate purpose. Tao metropolis
oust be rid of its excremental and other refuse,
Ind justice as well a 3 .common-sense proclaims
that other places ought not to have the public
health injured by the process. The only difficulty
,hat can arise with reasonable men is the expense,
end however great that may be, is not the good
that doing the thing properly will effect worth it ?
What is a million, or even more, of expenditure
lompared with the purification of the metropolis,
tnd the rescue of the inhabitants on the batiks of
die Thames, below its site, from exposure to 1-
pestilential effluvia of the sewage ? A hun

millions of hard-earned money—if of easy-got
taxation—have been expended over a worse than
fruitless war, and, strange to tell, the local repre-
sentatives of between two and three millions of the
population of the empire, including perhapn a moiety -
of its richest citizens to hesitate about expending a
million or so over a merciful and necessary scheme
like thiA. Away with such hesitation ! Enter-
tain it who may, they misreprese,ut the intelligence

',ion who do so, and ought, if their scruples be

its petty arenas of partisanship and jobbing, and
not to the presents when it behoves every good
citizen to vindicate- the great principle of self-
government before ate' admiring gaze of oppressed
nationalities. Men aro wanted at the Board equal
to the responsibilities of their position ; and if a

At 5 o'clock this afternoon the Queen paid a visit to
the Earl (if mou,t.Edgecurnbe, and then proceeded to

guard of honour, who firmed air escort to the residence
of the Port Admiral, Sir W. Parker.
About 3 o'cle.ck his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
accompanied by the Prince of Wales and attended by
Col. Phipps and Capt. Du Plat, landed at the ICeyhatu
steam yard, through the works of which they were
escorted by Admiral Superintendent Plumridge and the
principal of&er3, and attended by Admiral Parker,
General Eden, and their staffs.
At 6 o'clock the Royal visitors embarked for Mount
Wise, where they joined her Majesty. The Royal family
returned to the yacht in the evening. It is stated that
tomorrow (Wednesday) the Queen will go up the River
Tamar, to visit Earl St. Germans. It is also stated that
the Royal Fq.;advon will leave early in the morning for

From the above tabular statement it appears that
the total expenditure and claims have avuragad en
the ❑at premium, receipts, &c., 84.92 per cent. ;
including capital, 63.85 per cent. The claims alone
on the net premium, &c., average 23.80 per cent.
These percentages should probably be even greater,
as in many instances annuity purchase-money is
merged in the premium receipts. In somo instances
it was found impossible to give the available funds
invested and in hand with any degree of accuracy,
from the vague and unsatisfactory manner in which
the accounts are stated. The companies carrying
on life and fire business are not incltided in the
above statement, as in many cases the transactions
are so amalgamated as to preclude any investiga-
tion of the separate departments.
