By accounts from Naples we learn that the erup-

was Commander Ajan, of Riveiro, had made propositiqns to
the Neapolitan Government for the cultivation of Tavogliero
de Puglia, the draining of the morasses, and the establishment
of a large sea port at Aix Barletta ; but •it was understood
that this would be refused, as compromising the resources of
the State. The bands of robbers in the Abruzzi were qn the
increase ; and the son of one of the Councillors of the Court
of Cassation having been killed by them, troops were about to
be despatched against them.

MUNICH, JUNE 26.—Last Sunday evening his
Majestythe King was exposed to considerable danger, being over-
taken by a dreadful thunder storm while out on the Stamberg
Lake. The vessel on board which his Majesty had embarked
was tossed about in the most alarming manner, till the crew at
length succeeded in getting into a creek where the lake was
not so violently agitated. It was not till midnight that the
King was able to land, to the great joy of the multitude as-
sembled on the shore anxiously awaiting the event.
On the occasion of the enfranchisement of Servia,

(FURTHER PARTICULARS.)
The embarkation of her Majesty at Woolwich, on Satur-
day, and her progress down the river Thames, was attended
by a greater concourse of people than we remember to have
seen collected since the departure of his late Majesty George
the Fourth, for Scotland, when he embarked at Greenwich.
As early as half-past seven o'clock, the steam-packet wharfs
at London Bridge and St. Katherine's were covered with
people ; and, although five or six large steamers had been
advertised to leave the Pool for the accommodation of com-
pany desirous of witnessing the Royal embarkation, the de-
mand for places was so great that as many more were put in
requisition, and they all left the wharfs crowded to excess.
In one steamer there were 800, and in another 900 passengers,
and the heat was so intense as to give rise to a remark from a
fat citizen, whose face was covered with perspiration, that he had
got on board a " sweater" as well as a steamer. The company
were all in good humour, and seemed to treat the heat and the
pres'sure, as one of the orthodox irregularities of a voyage
per steam. The Magnet steamer had been engaged by the
Lord Mayor and Corporation, for the purpose of conducting
the Queen to Yantlet Creek, to which the jurisdiction of the
City, as Conservators of the River, extends ; and at eight
o'clock the Magnet left her moorings alongside the church-
ship, off the Tower, with a large party on board, among whom
were the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriffs, several of the Com-
mon Council, the City Law Officers, the Duke of Newcastle
and family, (consisting of Lords Charles, Thomas, and William
Clinton, and the Ladies Clinton), the Marchioness Cornwallis,
Lady Saltoun, Miss Fraser, Ladies A. 4.ucl C. Hastings, Lord
Eliot, Admiral and Lady Rodd, Sir John Fraser, Col. Hig-
gins, Major Elrington ( Fort-Major of the Tower), Major Cal-
greave, Mrs. and Miss Calgreave, several Directors of the Bank
of England, and the East India Company, F. Booth, Esq., ex-
Sheriff, and others. An awning was erected over the deck of the
Magnet, and she was decorated with the national ensign, the City
flag, and other colours. As the Magnet proceeded down the
river, she was frequently saluted by discharges of artillery from
the wharfs, and cheering from the crews of the shipping in the
upper and lower Pools. On the arrival of the Magnet off Wool-
wich Dock-yard, the Lord Mayor was hailed with three cheers
by the crew of the Royal yacht, and the steamer immediately
went alongside and remained in that position until the arrival
of her Majesty. The other steamers, as they arrived, took up
their stations near the Dock-yard, and formed, with the sail-
ing-vessels, two parallel lines, while the small boats and
craft were stationed below them. The Thames Police, in
their galleys, kept a clear space around the Royal yacht, and
by their exertions kept everything in admirable good order on
the river, which was covered with vessels of all descriptions.
The display of colours on the ships and steamers, and particu-
larly on the large Scotch steam-ship Soho, which was decorated
with upwards of 200 flags of all nations, over which the Eng-
lish flag IN aved pre-eminent, added greatly to the splendour of
the scene. The decks of the Soho were literally covered with
well-dressed company, and the display she made was infinitely
superior to anything else (not excepting the Royal George)
on the Thames. Her yards were also manned with seamen.
While these preparations to do honour to the Queen were
proceeding on the water, no less activity was observable on the
land, and the taverns, the houses, Woolwich church and
steeple, the Dock-yard, and in fact every spot from which a
view of the Royal yacht could be obtained, was covered with
visiters and the inhabitants of the surrounding country. At
nine o'clock detachments of the Artillery and Royal Marines
marched into the Dock-yard, and were drawn up in readiness
to receive her Majesty with due honours on her arrival, and the
whole of the military, naval, and civil authorities of the place
also assembled for the same purpose. A division of the new
police were stationed near the gates to keep a clear passage for
the Royal carriages, and the road over which they had to pass
was newly laid with gravel. Green cloth was laid down for
the Queen to walk to the boat.

Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, who was appointed to the com-
mand of the Royal George, left town as early as half-past
seven o'clock on Saturday morning for Woolwich, and he was
busied in making the necessary arrangements until the arrival
of the Queen. A few minutes before nine o'clock: her Ma-
jesty, accompanied by the Earl of Denbigh, Earl and Coun-
tess of Errol, Earls and Countesses of Brovvnlow and Howe,
Sir John Barton, Sir NV. H. Fremantle, and other members
of the Royal Household, left St. James's Palace in five tra-
velling carriages, each drawn by four horses, and preceded by
outriders, for Woolwich, where their arrival was made known
to the people on the river by a discharge of artillery, and the
band striking up " God save the King." After a short stay
in the dock-yard, where her Majesty was received with loud
and long continued plaudits, she proceeded to the Admiralty
shallop, in which Admiral Hardy, the Governor of Green-
wich Hospital, acted as steersman. At this time the spectacle
was one of the most magnificent ever witnessed, and the
Quo.,” ;* g"*Tr'qe and admiration. n" -"rf"ix
into the boat her Majesty was hailed with loud cheers from
the assembled multitude on the water, which were re-echoed
by those on land, and the several bands on the steamers struck
up the national anthem. Her Majesty appeared much gra-
tified at these testimonials of loyalty and goodwill, and grace-
fully acknowledged them. On her Majesty reaching the deck
of the Royal yacht she was received by the Lord Mayor, Al-
dermen, and Sheriffs, in their robes. His Lordship addressed
her Majesty, and expressed the anxiety which he and his fel-
low-citizens felt at her departure from his Majesty's domi-
nions, and hoped that she would soon return in health and
happiness to receive the congratulations of the people.
Her Majesty replied that she felt deeply grateful to the Lord
Mayor and Corporation of the City of London, for such a mark
of kindness and respect, assured him that she should ever re-
tain a full sense of such conduct ; that her stay in her native
country would be but short, and that she should most anxiously
wish for a speedy return to England.
The Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Aldermen, and those Members
of the Common Council who were present, had the honour of
kissing her Majesty's hand ; and they returned to the Magnet
amidst the cheers of the crew of the Royal George, headed by
Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence. Immediate preparations were
then made to depart, and the anchor of the Royal yacht hav-
ing been heaved, she was taken in tow by his Majesty's steamer
Phcenix, under the command of Lieutenant Smith. The
Lord Mayor's steamer led the way, and all the other steam-
vessels followed close after the Royal George. The bells of
Woolwich church struck up a merry peal, salutes were fired
from Lord Yarborough's yacht, from the Soho, and from the
Dock-yard, and the fleet of steamers and sailing vessels were
soon in rapid motion. The steamers alone, however, were
able to keep up with her Majesty, in consequence of the wind
being in a contrary direction; but the appearance of the steam-
fleet, by which the Royal George was completely surrounded,
formed one of the most imposing sights ever witnessed, and,
perhaps, on no former occasion, were so many steam-vessels
seen in motion at one time.

DUTCH PAPERS.

Soon after leaving Woolwich we noticed, in addition to the
Magnet,which kept all the way a head of the steam flotilla and
the Phoenix, with the Queen and suite in tow, the Harlequin,
Albion, Hero, Soho, Eclipse (Gravesend steamer), Eclipse,
one of the foreign steam-vessels of the General Steam Navi-
gation Company, Hawk, Mercury, Medway, Comet, Kent,
Emerald, Brilliant, Diana, Dart, and the Kingston with Sir
William Curtis's yacht in tow. The Kent was on one side of
the Royal vessel and the Soho on the other, and the Harle-
quin and Eclipse were abreast of each other close astern, with
the exception of the Kent, which by the dexterity of her, Cap-
tain, managed to keep on the larboard side of the Royal yacht
nearly all the way to the Nore. The steamers frequently
changed places, so that the company all had frequently an
opportunity of seeing the Queen and her suite on deck. In
Barking Reach the Queen first made her appearance on deck,
and she was received with deafening acclamations by the
people, and the waving of handkerchiefs, the various bands
again striking up " God save the King." Her Majesty viewed
the scene with a mixture of astonishment and delight, and ob-
served to her attendants that it was one of the most striking
she had ever beheld. She bowed to the company from both
sides of the Royal yacht. The appearance of the Soho, which
as it proceeded down the river seemed a moving. mass of
colours, seemed to attract most of her Majesty's attention. The
boatswain's whistle was directly afterwards heard, in an in-
stant the crew of the Royal George was seen climbing the
rigging, and with the greatest expedition the yards were
manned. This manoeuvre was loudly cheered, and the tars,
on a given signal from below, returned the compliment by
buzzes. In Halfway Reach, exactly opposite the Half-way
House the Queen again showed herself to the people, and again
were the plaudits repeated. Near Purfleet the steam fleet
were joined by a new and powerful steam-vessel belonging to
a Mr. Smith, with a select party of ladies and gentlemen on
board ; among whom we noticed Admiral Hardy and several
naval officers. This fine vessel was much admired for the ele-
gance of her construction, and cost her wealthy owner 15,0001.
She is propelled by two engines of 75-horse power each, and
is, without doubt, the most beautiful steam-craft on the Thames.
She managed to drop into the place alongside the Royal yacht
occupied by the Kent, to the no small chagrin of the company
on the latter vessel, who were very reluctant to leave such a
good position. But the new vessel did not keep her berth
long, and the Kent dropped into her old position and main-
tained it until she left the Queen. The steam-fleet were soon
afterwards still further reinforced by the Fame, Captain Large,
bound to Herne Bay ; the City of London for Ramsgate ;
by an Irish steamer, and by that large and splendid steam-
vessel the Royal William, from London-bridge, for Mar-
gate, with five 'hundred passengers on board. The Royal
William was allowed by her rivals to drop alongside the
Royal yacht ; and had no sooner done so than the com-
pany on board every steamer comprising the fleet applied
the compliment to her Majesty and rent the air with their
shouts. The Queen was at this time on the opposite side of
the Royal yacht next the Kent, and did not seem to know
what was going forward ; but on some of her attendants re-
ferring her to the name of her Royal Consort on the paddle-
box of the steamer, she Crossed the deck and bowed to the
passengers in the Royal William, who returned this mark of
condescension by three cheers, while the band, on an adjoining
steamer played the appropriate tune of " Here's a health to
the King, God bless him." When the band had concluded,
Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence waved his hat, and the Queen
her handkerchief, and three cheers more were given. Di-

re etly aftet. the Fame shot ahead, came round tha
Magnet and T.opped nearly abreast of the Phoenix. The band
struck up " God save the King," and the passengers, among
whom were several professionals, accompanied it with their
voices, and the National Anthem was sung in a manner which
would have reflected credit on the singers of our large
theatres. The officers and crew on board the Royal yacht re-
mained uncovered during the singing of the National Air; and
at its conclusion the singers were greeted with loud applause.
The tide had now begun to ebb, and theßoyal yacht proceeded
at a much more rapid rate to Gravesend, the steamers also in-
creasing their speed,and keeping up with her. On the arrival
of the flotilla at Gravesend, we observed the banks of the river
on both sides lined with people, and the " heights" near North-
fleet were -covered with a dense mass. The vessels, though
not so numerous as at Woolwich, were decorated in a Similar
manner, and the Ferguson, East Indiaman, was covered with
flags. A salute was fired from the batteries at Tilbury Fort,
the bells of Gravesend church sent forth their joyous sounds,
and the Queen again made her appearance on deck, and Was
received with the same demonstrations of loyalty and respect
as marked her embarkation at Woolwich. The surrounding
country seemed, in, fact, to have poured forth its population to
do honour to her Majesty. The Royal yacht, with the steam
escort, proceeded at a steady pace down the river to the Nore,
the Queen occasionally presenting herself to receive the con-
gratulations of the people. Opposite the mouth of the Med-
way, where the jurisdiction of the Lord Mayor as Conservator
of the river terminates, the Magnet slackened her speed until
the Royal yacht came alongside, where her Majesty stood in
full view to take leave, and was greeted with loud and long-
continued cheering from the Magnet and all the surrounding
steamers, while the crew of the Royal George piped aloft,
and, after manning the yards, bade a respectful adieu to the
Lord Mayor and Corporation. The bands struck up " God
save the King," and directly afterwards a parting cheer was
given, which the Queen acknowledged, and the Magnet, Har-
lequin, Kent, Hawk Mercury, Emerald, Medway, Diana,
and Kingston, turned back, and proceeded on their return to
London. We left the Soho and two other steamers with
the Queen, and it was understood they would accom-
pany her to Margate, where the Royal yacht and the
Phcenix would remain for the night, and set sail yesterday
morning for Rotterdam, at which port the Queen would dis-
embark. The Thames parted company with the Queen
about three o'clock. In addition to those we have named,
several others in proceeding to and from Ireland, Scotland,
and France, joined the train for a short time, and cheered her
Majesty as they passed her. The company on board the
Magnet dined under the awning on deck, to the number of
150 during the return voyage to the Tower, and The Lord
Mayor entertained his guests in a most sumptuous manner.
At eight o'clock his Lordship, the Aldermen, Sheriffs, &c.,
disembarked at the Tower-stairs, where the Governor, the
Wardens, and a Guard of Honour attended to receive them.
The other steamers arrived safe at the different wharfs about
the same time. The weather was e.stremely favourable, and
the whole affair passed off well. A more lively or interesting
scene was never exhibited on the river, and the enthusiastic
reception of her Majesty must not only be very gratifying to
her feelings, but will, no doubt be equally gratifying to her
Royal Consort, when the enthusiasm and loyalty which marked
her progress down the river is communicated to him. There
could not have been less than 10,000 persons on board the
various steamers which accompanied the Queen ; we heard
but of one accident during the day, and that was nearly
attended with fatal consequences. Soon after the Royal yacl.t
was taken in tow, a boat came alongside the Kent steamer, op-
posite the Arsenal, with two watermen and two gentlemen, for
the purpose of putting ene of the latter on board. The steps
oil the side of the vessel were lowered; but the gentleman, in
his eagerness to get on deck, slipped, and the boat heeled on
one side. At that instant, the paddles were set in motion, and
the water dashed over the boat, and wetted everybody in it.
The greatest confusion instantly took place; a cry of "stop
her" was raised, but before that could be done, the other, a
young gentleman, rose from his seat, and this movement threw
the other into the river, and the boat was capsized. The young
gentleman, who could not swim, would have immediately gone
down, had he not been caught by one of the crew, who was on
the step-ladder, and who held him up, while the lower part of
his body was immersed in the water ; and on the paddles being
stopped, he was hauled on board and went to Gravesend, though
he did not intend to come on board at all. The boat righted,
and the watermen rowed after the gentleman who had gone
overboard. He swam with amazing skill, although the water
was in a very agitated state, until the boat reached him, and he
was dragged into it in a most exhausted state, and taken ashore,
with the loss of his hat. The accident caused the greatest
alarm and confusion; and the gentleman, who appeared to be
between 50 and 60 years of age, was given up for lost. Had he
not been a most expert swimmer, he could not have been
saved. Some of the passengers of Kent said that the en-
gines were set at work too soon, and blamed the conductor for
setting the vessel a-going before the passengers got out of the
boat ; others on board said the gentleman had delayed get-
ting out, and at last, in his eagerness to step on the ladder, he
tripped the boat aside, and that if the young gentleman had
sat still no harm would have been done. The Captain was
on his right place, on the paddle-box, keeping a look-out
a-head, in order to avoid coming in contact with any of the
numerous vessels in the stream, and from the time the boat
had been alongside, supposed the party had got out. After
he saw the gentleman in the water, it was impossible for him
to back astern, as the Soho was close upon him, and if he
had done so a worse accident would have occurred. A great
number of gentlemen, on board the Kent, afterwards signed
a paper, declaring that Captain Pindar, the master of the
vessel, was free from blame, and that the accident originated
from the manner in which the gentleman attempted to get on
boara. ney also gave utptain ringer a testimonial tneir
approbation for the manner in which he managed his vessel
during the excursion, by which they had the gratification of
being the first company to salute her Majesty, and of re-
ceiving her Royal acknowledgments; and also for the judi-
cious and excellent disposition of the Kent, in keeping so
close in company with the Royal George in her progress
down the river.
Her Majesty appeared in the enjoyment of excellent health,
and during the passage down the river conversed cheerfully
with Lord Fitzclarence and the members of her household.
Her attendants are very numerous.

The Government has received intelligence that the Zecuw
arrived at Cronstadt early in the morning of the 21st of June,
having performed the voyage from Copenhagen in the re-
markably short time of about four days. The Sneilheid brig
arrived at Cronstadt at the same time.
On the 19th of June, when near the Gulf of Finland, our
ships fell in with a Russian squadron of three ships of the line
and a frigate, commanded by Vice-Admiral Bellinghausen,
who immediately came on board the Zecuw to pay his respects
to his Royal Highness Prince Frederick William Henry, and
said he had orders to accompany his Royal Highness with his
squadron to Cronstadt. They were afterwards joined by some
Russian frigates. As soon as they arrived in the road of
Cronstadt, an Aide-de- Camp of the Emperor came on board
the Zeeuw, to attend the Prince, and soon afterwards the Em-
peror himself came in a steam-boat from Peterhof. He most
cordially welcomed the young Prince, and after having mi-
nutely examined every part of the Zecuw, his Majesty went
with the Prince on board a Russian ship of the line in the
road of Cronstadt, and thence to Peterhof.
