signified that it was her pleasure to visit the Royal yacht, lying
somewhat higher up the harbour. The State barge was ac-
Tordingly steered in the directi .n of the yacht, in board of
which her Majesty went and remained for a considerable time.
Upon leaving the Royal yacht the State barge was quickly
p tiled to shore, and her Majesty, having landed, returned to
the Admiral's residence.
Prince Albert, the Duke of Albemarle, .and several others
of the distinguished company:then went through the various
departments of the Dockyard, attended by Sir L. Codrington,
and in the evening a numerous party (see Court Circular) had
the honour of dining with her Majesty.

The subjoined memoranda at the present moment on
topic which engages general attention, may not be unpieasing
to our readers.

HONOCRS of PO RTS3iO H• —ln 1140, Maud, the Ern'
press Queen landed here, to contend with King 'Stephen for
the crown. Catharine, the Infants of Portugal, met Charles
IL, here, and was afterwards msrried to him in 1666. Queen .
Elizabeth, on her visit here, saw the necessity of placing
.*
garrison on this important spot to keep watch day and night
at the town-gates, and by her order also, troops were set at the
top of the Church tower, where by rinsing of *
bell, they could give notice what horse and foot were
advancing towards the town, and waving colours, signify from
what quarter they came. This popular Queen, in her progress,
not far from this spot, was received with four days' entertain-
ments. Latin odes, complimentary verses, devices of all forms
and fashions, were constructed to do her the best homage. She
was apostrophised under the poetical name of Elise," by the
following verses, which, if the same gallantry had existed at
t
the present day as then, would, if addressed to the Queen e`
the present day, have read thus:—
Victoria is the fairest Queen
That ever trod upon this green ,
Victoria's eyes are blessed stars,
Inducing peace. subduing wars ;
Victoria's hand is christat bright.
Her words are b lm, her looks are light,
Victoria's breast is that fair hili
Where virtue dwells and sacred skill ;
0 blessed be each day and hour
Where sweet Victoria builds her bower.
This was sung before her Maj. sty in the highway " with
the musicke of an exelleot co sort; wherein was the lute,
bandora, base viol, eittetne, tiebie viol, and lute."
Nottats CA ST LE. —This place has been chosen for the
young Pri',eess in hopes that its salutary air may produce on
her a goad effect. It is a very handsome modern edifice, built
by James Wyatt, Esq., for Lord Henry Seymour, and stand*
in a peculiarly fine situation near the shore : it command*
some grand and extensive views of Southampton Water,
Portsmouth, and the adjacent parts.
CA RIS6ROOK CASTLE.—I, cannot be expected that her
Majesty will return to Brighton without visiting this ancient
and historic edifice, to which great repairs were done by Qure°
Edzabeth. In a shied over the outer gate arc her initials,
E. It. It has a most extensive pr..spect, the sea being visible
to the north, cast, and south, but hid on the west by a hill.
The Countess of Portland, on the breaking out of the troubles
in the island between King Charles and the Parliament, held
this castle lor the king. It was besieged by Moses Reid, 31aPr
of Newport, at the head of the militia of that tow
four hundred sailors. The garrison then consisted °
twenty men, and for this small number there were but tbreo4,
days' provisions. Nevertheless, the Countess, with the magna
:
nimity of a Roman matron, went to the platform with a match
in her hand, vowing she would fire the cannons herself, and
defend the castle to the utmost extremity. Honourable mils
were, in consequence, granted.
It was here, Clarendon relates, that King Charles I.
imprisoned, and attempts were made to set him at liberty ui
sawing asunder the iron-bar of his dungeon window with 11frie
and saw ; and it was here, on the Bth of September, Ito"
died his daughter, the P. incess Elizabeth, whom the levelling
rulers of that time intended to apprentice to a button-m*or'
She was buried on the 24th of the same month, at Newporii-

DRIVEN TO A CORNER* and
At the conclusion of the meeting of theEdrinbri,7h
scow Glasgow Rails ay Proprietors, toe following gap
took place : —Mr. J. G. Hamilton said, in rising t° I
the appointment of a Committee to conduct the traffieeteo
would fain c ,rreet a very gross delusion that has 13.„d
busily circulated, to the effect that our engineers
•
stokers will be so constantly employed along arid
the other end of the line on Sunday, that it will be .
possible for them even to attend church with their families, °r
..
to superintend their rel gious education : that their children..
will be left to grow up Heathens, and their souls will be fe,
quires at our hands.—( Hear, hear, from Mr. Makgilt Chrichtett.../
What. does Mr. Chrichton adopt the statement and the sentite
merit? [Mr. Makgill—Yes. ] Then see how a Main t°l;
will put Irim down. You will have ten or twelve engine the
and as many stokers ; two of each will be required for
Sunday tiain,, -end these, therefore, will be employed about WI
Sundays in the year, and have about forty Sundays entirer ,
their own disposal. By adopting the same rule as on other line;
the trains may be stopped wheu they meet half way—the fast,
change trains, and each returns in excellent time to break ill
and attend church with his family, from whom be 'rod I
not be absent for more than three hours, morning sito
evening, one Sunday out of every five during the yeer.s Pe
extent of employment less, not more, as to the number 01
sons, and much less as to the time occupied, than is the
with the mails now on the road, and much less than wirtg,
of us require from our domestic servants.—( No, no, from 1"' ta
Crichton.) What ! will you deny that you even keep your serre°o ,
from church at all, or that you employ them more than six Woo
per day for ten Sundays in the year— and that, for your our
personal comfort and conver.ience, fur the gratification of
palate, the lowest and meanest of your appetites
from Mr. M. Crichton.) Then I have not another word t
say. I leave this -gentleman's denial to have its own cite
on the meeting.

A great Anti-Corn-law meeting was held at Alio
(leen on Wednesday last. Our northern contemporaryrcho
Aberdeen Herald, has given an excellent report of the 'Pee not
extending to nearly six columns, for which we regret we car'
find room. efir
A firmer, in ploughing his field, at Herouval, n
Beauvais, in the Oise, tinned up a few days ago a nurnbel'icl,
bones, some antique rings, and other ornaments of matil,
had been deposited in tombs, in one of which he found s.fiisr
rary urn, and a large boar's tusk. During several years 51".00
relics of the ancient Gauls have been discovered near the
spot.

We learn from Bologna that such a quunl'' --ops
snow has fallen in the country around that all comm

Romagna the cold has been severer than in 1829, and ha
stroyed a great number of trees. ern
