HER MAJESTY'S MARINE
EXCURSION.

- - - -
The course by which her Majesty will proceed on
her excursion to Scotland is as follows :—The Queen
embarks at Woolwich, instead of Portsmouth, as was
before named,lonl,board the Victoria and Albert steam-
ship, commanded by Captain Lord Adolphus Fitz-
Clarence, and will proceed from thence direct to Dun-
dee, without the yacht touching at any port on her
passage. The preparations onboard for the Queen
and the royal children, in the arrangement of the nur-
series and other rooms, has been most complete ; the
former communicates with the Queen's own apart-
ments, being immediately under, and forming a con-
tinuation of, the royal staircase. Since the royal
Y-
cht has returned from the westward, she has been
re-u:corated and painted, and looks remarkably well.
The following vessels have been appointed to form
the royso squadron :—The Royal Victoria and Albert
steam-vessel, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence,
G.C.8.; the Stromboli steam-frigate, Commander the
Hon. E. Plunkett ; the Eclair steam-frigate, Com-
mander Walter G. B. Estcourt ; the Blazer steam-
vessel, Captain I. Washington; the Volcano steam-
vessel, Lieut.-Commander E. C. Miller; the Princess
Alice steam-vessel, Master-Commander L. Smithett.
The Castle of Blair, the ancient seat of the noble
family of the Atholls, has been under repair and im-
provement for a month past. A number of Lord
Glenlyon's followers have again been in training for
the reception of her Majesty. The game on the
moors and in the forest of Atholl have been strictly
preserved. Sir Robert Peel, the Earl of Liverpool,
and others of her Majesty's Ministers, are expected to
constitute part of the royal suite.
Her Majesty is expected to return from Scotland
early in October, when the King of the French is
confidently expected to visit her in England. A
squadron of five steam-vessels is preparing at Cher-
bourg, and one of them, bearing a rear-admiral's flag,
is now ready. These ships will, it is believed, leave
Cherbourg early in October, and proceed to Treport,
at which port his Majesty will embark, and cross
over to Brighton or Portsmouth.

On Saturday evening his Royal Highness the
rince of Prussia left Woolwich on board the Lightning

earner for Ostend, on his return to Berlin.
His Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe
Weimar left London on Saturday morning for Ostend,
by the General Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship
Venezuela.
HURSTPIERPOINT, SEPT. 4.—MARRIAGE IN HIGH
LlFE.—This morning, at eleven o'clock, the Rev. Frede-
rick Vincent, rector of Slingford, in this county, was
married to the lovely and accomplished Miss Maria
Copley Young. Dr. Samuel Holland performed the
marriage ceremony in the presence of a full congregation,
amongst whom were Lords Howard and Erskine, and the
principal families in the neighbourhood. The bridal
party occupied seven carriages, but as the marriage was
of a private character, no public demonstration took
place.--Brighton Herald.
REPRESENTATION OF NORTH LANCASHIRE.--011
reference to our latest intelligence it will be seen that on
Thursday evening a motion was made for a new writ
for North Lancashire, in the room of Lord Stanley, who
has been called up to the House of Peers in the life-
time of his father, the venerable and venerated Earl of
Derby, by a patent of creation. From the explanation
given by Sir Robert Peel, it appears that his Lordship
will continue at the head of the Colonial Department.
It is understood that Talbot Clifton, Esq., will be the
Tory candidate. The Liberal candidate is not yet
named, but that the Reformers of North Lancashire will
promptly select " a good man and true" to oppose the
monopolist, admits of no question. In the meantime,
we earnestly exhort the free-traders to buckle on
their armour, and prepare for the contest.—Lancaster
Guardian.
BANGOR.—THE IRISH STATE PRISONERS.--The
decision of the House of Lords, in favour of Mr.
O'Connell and his fellow prisoners, reached the city of
Bangor by the evening edition of The Sun newspaper on
Thursday. This triumph of the law, this glorious vin-
dication of the palladium of British liberty, a trial by
an unpacked jury, was hailed with joy. In the evening
a full band of music paraded the streets, and kept play-
ing merry tunes until a late hour, when " God save the
Queen," and three lusty cheers from the populace, con-
cluded the joyful manifestations.—Carnarvon Herald.
ELECTION FOR THE OFFICE OF CHAMBERLAIN.—
Oa Saturday the election proceeded at a very. slow
pace. A few members of the Livery appeared in the
Hall, and at three o'clock the state of the gross poll was
stated to be—for Brown, 1,826; for Heppe], 53; Mr.
Ileppel having respectively addressed the Livery, the Hall
was formally adjourned by Mr. Potter, the secondary,
until this morning.
We feel pleasure in announcing to our readers that
the Anti-Corn-law Association intend very shortly to
resume their meetings. Their first anniversary will be

MAIDSTONE BRANCH RAILWAY.—The corporation
authorities of Maidstone are very properly preparing to
celebrate the opening of the branch railway to their
borough by a public entertainment to the directors.—
Railway Record.

The whole of the branch railway from Brighton to
Lewes has been set out, and its line is marked by flags.
Considerable inconvenience having been occasioned by
the mischievous removal of these land-marks, which
necessitated a second survey, the directors have offered
a reward for the apprehension of any such offenders,
whom they can proceed against under their Act for a
penalty of 24:01.—Brighton Herald.
GAME-LAws.—As a proof of the injury the tenant-
farmer sustains by these iniquitous laws, we may men-
tion the case of a tenant on the estate of a wealthy
Baronet, near Ipswich, who, within the last three
years, has lost 7001. from the ravages made upon his
crops by his landlord's hares. The redress he has
obtained is leave to quit the occupation a year before his
lease expires, which was gladly accepted, and he now
waits anxiously for the day when he can escape from the
boasted." protection" under which he, with others of his
brother farmers, have been so sadly fleeced.—Suffulk

HORRIBLE MODE OF PUNISHMENT AMONG THE
CINGALESE.—One of the, most dreadful punishments
devised by the cruelty of man is practised, by the Cinga-
lese, and some of our soldiers in former times were
victims of their atrocity. When any of these were
taken prisoners, they were stripped naked, smeared over
with wild honey, and tied to a tree in the vicinity of ant-
hills. Thus axpo.ed, they were speedily covered by
myriads of these insects, which in a few days consumed
their flesh and left nothing but white bones to bleach in
the sun.

WINDSOR CASTLE.—ACCIDENT IN THE WATERLOO
GALLERY.—An accident occurred in the Waterloo Gal-
lery in the afternoon of Thursday last, which, had it
unfortunately taken place during the evening! of Satur-
day, at the time the splendid apartment was crowded
with her Majesty's royal and illustrious guests, might
have been attended with the most serious and lamentable
results. Fire massive chandeliers of ormolu, and of ex •
quisite workmanship, weighing several hundreds of
pounds each, were suspended from the ceiling. at about
fifteen feet from the floor. These magnificent pieces of
furniture, which, it is said, cost from 2,000/. to 3,0001.
each, are considered to be the most rich and beautiful
specimens in this country. While one of the workmen
in the department of the Lord Chamberlain was engaged,
mounted on the top of a high flight of steps, in pre-
paring the chandelier at the western end for lighting on
yesterday evening, the whole mass gave way, and fell on
the floor with a tremendous crash, and breaking into a
thousand pieces. Of the several circles of cut plate
glass, upon which were elaborately engraved the star,
garter, and motto of the Order of the Garter, not one
escaped—the whole were smashed to atoms. The roan
on the steps fortunately escaped. The chandelier, it is
Cated, weighed upwards of wren ewt.
