THE EXPERT VIENTAL SQUADRON

PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.--Her Majesty the Queen Dowager,
accompanied by the-Duchess of Saxe Weimar, Prince Edward,
and the Princesses of Saxe Weimar, and attended by Lady and
the Misses Gore, Sir A. Barnard, and Mr. James Hudson, ar.
rived this day at the Gosport station of the South- Western
Railway at a quarter past two, by the ordinary train which
leaves London at eleven. Her Majesty was received on alight-
ing by Major-General the Hon. Sir H. Pakenham, Lieutenant-
Governor .f Portsmouth garrison, and staff, and a guard of
honour of the 37th Regiment, under the command of Major
Skelly, Captain Lewis, Lieutenants Manners and Hobson, and
Ensign Cator, bearing the colours of the regiment; also by
Mr. Stovin and Mr. Watkins, officers of the South- Western
Railway Company. Her Majesty entered the carriage of
Admiral Sir Charles Rowley, Bart., and was driven off to the
Royal Clarence Victualling Establishment, followed in other car-
riages by her illustrious visitors and the royal attendants, and
escorted by Major-General Pakenham and staff, on horse-
back. At twenty minutes past two the royal cortege en-
tered the Clarence yard, where the First Lord of the Admi-
ralty, the Right Hon. the Earl of Haddington, and the
Countess of Haddington, together with Rear-Admiral Hyde
Parker, Captain Moubray, Captain Carter, superintendent;
'Mr. Town, master-attendant ; and Mr. Grant, F. R. S., store-
keeper of the Royal Clarence establishment, were in readiness
to receive her Majesty. No guard of honour attended. Her
Majesty took the arm of the Earl of Haddington, and the royal
party embarked in the barge of Sir Charles Rowley, steered by
Flag-Lieutenant Rowley, with the royal standard in the bow,
at twenty-five minutes past two, and embarked on board the
Princess Alice, Master-Commander Smithett. Her Majesty
remained on board a few minutes, and the luggage being all
stowed, her Majesty and her distinguished visitors again de-
scended to the barge, and went on board the royal yacht Vic-
toria and Albert, where her Majesty was received by Captain
Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, who conducted her Majesty over
the vessel, which having inspected, the royal party again em-
barked on board the Princess Alice, and at about twenty-five
minutes past three got under weigh and steamed out of harbour.
As her Majesty passed out of harbour the crew of the Victory
cheered on the yards most vociferously. The ships were dressed
most beautifully, and the scene was one of the most enlivening
description.
The Princess Alice, on leaving the harbour, was steered
direct for the St. Vincent, on board of which the royal party
embarked at twenty minutes to four. The royal standard was
immediately run up at the main, the marines upon the poop
presented arms, and the most loyal demonstrations of respect
attended her Majesty's reception on board the flag ship of the
fleet. At four o'clock the standard was struck, arid the royal
party left the St. Vincent in the barge, steered as before by
Flag-Lieutenant Rowley, and again embarked on board the
Princess Alice, which, at twenty minutes past four o'clock,
again got under weigh and steamed through the fleet, entering
at the eastern end. As the royal vessel passed, the crews upon
the yards of each ship again cheered. Her Majesty passed the
St. Vincent on her return at twenty-five minutes past four
o'clock, and proceeded towards Cowes; in about an hour her
Majesty returned, and landed at Ryde-pier. Her Majesty will
sojourn at the Pier Hotel, we believe, three days, and has en-
gaged twenty beds and suitable apartments for that period.
The Princess Alice, having safely landed the royal party,
returned into harbour.

The Earl and Countess of Haddington went out in the
Black Eagle steam-yacht, but his Lordship's visit being private,
the Admiralty flag was not hoisted.
The Wonder steamer, hired by his Grace the Duke of Port-
land, was also at Spithead, with his Grace the Duke of Devon-
shire, Captain Sir William Symonds, the Surveyor of the Navy,
and a distinguished party on board.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and about
forty of the Court of Directors of the Hon. East India Company,
will arrive to- morrow morning per special train.
Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and suite will arrive to-morrow
morning, at half-past eleven.

In the Canadian papers, received to-day, we have very sa-

- vttsisookans
tisficetory pn•ofs affbrded of the enerottu mA hut-nuns
exertions of the inure fortunate inhabitants of' Quebec ill
affording relief to the sufferers by the dreadful cot:flagra-
tion. That so much should have been accomplished, espe-
cially by SOUP". of the poorer classes, is mo-t prai,eworthy.
The fldlowing will give some idea of what was effected :-
1. 'lite salts of provisions from the country, sold at re-
duced rates to the sufferers, amount at present to 2611. 14s.
2. The number of sufferers (amounting to upwards of
10,000 rendered houseless) who remained unprovided with
lodgings in the dwellings of the other inhabitants, during the
night after the fire, was only 461 At present there are only
88 of the sufferers at the Old Custom-house, the others being
still provided for by the inhabitants.
3. Clothinghas been furnished to 5,488 persons, amount-
ing, according to a low estimated value, to 1,329/.lBs.
4. During the first week, 7,900 persons were relieved with
money, amounting to 3,9531., besides 691. given under pecu-
liar circumstances.

5. Stray articles, amounting to about 1,0001., have been
recovered, chiefly by the exertions of the police, and distri-
buted to their owners, under the superintendence of Robert
Symes, Esq.
It will be remembered that the services of the ladies in
assorting the immense quantities of clothing was zealously
given, and was most valuable. Indeed, the conduct of the
whole population of Quebec, of all sexes, classes, and de-
scriptions, on the occasion of the late calamity, does them
the greatest honour, and to none more than the poorer
classes in the town and adjacent parishes, who, mostly gra-
tuitously, lodged, and, in many instances, fed and clothed
the sufferers, amounting to about a third of the whole popu.
lation of Quebec. If the calamity has been great, it never
was met in a better spirit in any country—a spirit which
indeed is " doubly blessed."
The number of passengers arrived at Quebec up to the
21st ult. was 12,739, being an increase over the number to
the same time last year of 3,886.
The accounts from the United States relative to the grow-
ing crops appear to be conflicting.
There are some hopes, judging by the tenour of to-day's
letters from the Brazils, that the increased duties on British pre-
duce will not be enforced at Rio on the let stant as proposed,
but that a delay will be accorded to ascertain what has been
done in England. In the meantime trade at Rio necessarily
suffered very much.
There continues to be a flat market for the Public Se-
curities, the state of affairs in Spain no doubt co-operating
with the unsettled weather. Consols have been 98% % for
present transfer, end 98% % for Account; Exchequer-bills
have not been higher than 545. to 565., premium the New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 102 to 102l4( ; Bank
Stock is steady at 210% to 2111/x.
Spanisk Bonds have gone lower again, upon the intelligence
from Catalonia. The Five per Cents. have been down to
24%, and the Three per Cents. to 36 and 35%. Portuguese,
Converted have been at 65%. Colombian Bonds are 173/4.
Shares, with one or two exceptions, have been rather
lower. The old lines are best supported, and Great Western,
Midland, and Brighton are higher.
