COWES, AUGUST 29,

The Falcon returned to her moorings from St. Law-
rence Bay, in the roads at 7 A.M., the day before yester-
day. She is now taking on board stores for the voyage
to Cherbourg. and intends to e,et under weigh at 1 r.m.
The whole of the squadron have instructions to sail at the
same hour.

It is expected that Lord Yarborough will have the
honour of entertaining the King of the French with a
magnificent aquatic fete on board his superb vessel. It is
said that upwards of 100 pleasure yachts, with the Eng-
lish flag, will be assembled at Cherbourg. A notification,
we understand, has been received by the squadron from
the Mayor of Cherbourg, informing them that Admiral
de Rig ny, the Minister of Marine, has ordered several
French ships of the line from Brest and Toulon, it being
intended by the King to review the fleet fur the first time
since his accession to the throne. Owing to the continu-
ance of delightful weather their Royal Highnesses the
Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria daily embark
on board the Emerald to enjoy marine excursions. They
have now visited in suecsssson the leading members of
the squadron; the last they honoured with a visit was the
Duke of Norfolk in the Arundel cutter.
As an instance of the Duchess of Kent's consideration
for the inferior members of her establishment, she gave
directions for a very agreeable fete to be prepared for
them, on board the Messenger Government steamer, on
Friday last. The entertainment was intended to celebrate
the natal day of the Duchess. Their Royal Highnesses
were not present at the mirthful party, not wishing pro-
bably, to impose any restraint on them.
Yesterday afternoon their Royal Highnesses and suite
paid their first visit somewhat unexpectedly to West
Cowes. The Emerald came to an anchor opposite the
Squadron•house, and landed the Duchess and Princess
unaer a royal salute from the Secretary's battery. Their
Royal Highnesses, attended by Sir John, Lady, and the
Misses Conroy, and Lady C. Jetakinson, proceeded along
the Parade and principal street, where they entered the
library and made some purchases. They also honoured
Lady Agnes Byng with a visit at Cowes Castle, and hav-
ing expressed a wish to view the Squadron-house, their
Kuyal Highnesses were conducted over it by Viscount
Exmouth and the Secretary. On re-embarking they
were saluted with 21 guns from the Club-house batteries.
The weather was so delightfully calm that as the royal yacht
was returning to Norris Castle, a quadrille was got up on
deck, the dancers being the Princess Victoria, Lady Ca-
tharine Jenkinson, Miss Conroy, and Miss Victoria Con.
roy, the Baroness Lechers and Lady Conroy. The Duchess
of Kent played the piano to the party.
The Duke of Norfolk left yesterday in the Arundel for
Portsmouth. His Grace does not go to Cherbourg, the
prorogation demanding his presence in town. The yacht
is to be forthwith laid up for the winter.
The Admiralty yacht, Fanny, will bring over Sis
James Graham to• morrow or Saturday. The accommo.
datious of this elegant cutter are unique. She has been
recently fitted up in a style infinitely superior to any pri.
vate yacht. She has been christened the Funny after
Lady Graham.
The Earl and Countess of Durham will give a grand
fete to the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, on
Monday, the 9th September, by which period it is expected
the squadron will return.
At half-past one, P. X. the Commodore made the signal
for outward and leeward to weigh. The scene at this
moment was interesting in the extreme. The squadron,
consisting of about thirty sail, are now abreast of Norris
' Castle.

iThe Emerald yacht, with the Duchess of Kent and the
princes* Victoria, is standing out for Portsmouth, where
their Royal Highnesses expect the Duchess's sister to arrive
to-day trom Germany.

The Anna Eliza (the Duke of Buckingham) is also
leaving the roadstead.
The squadron sail with a pleasant breeze from W.S.W.

On Thursday night, about twelve o'clock, a
fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Francis, a stationer
and newavender, in Great Bath street, Clerkenwell. It
happened that the family had not long retired to rest
bt fore smoke was discovered to issue from the lower part
of the house, but for which the consequences might have
bt en dreadful ; as it was, some of the inmates escaped
with difficulty. In the course of an hour the house was
lift a mere skeleton, and all its contents con-umed.
