persons that some alteration should take place in
the accustomed order of procession on the above
day, and it haVing been suggested that it would
be highly gratifying to the numerous inhabitants
of Westminster that they should enjoy the sliow,
with the consent of the Lord Mayor, the follow-

Her Serene llighness the Princess NARINSKI
and daughter, with the Secretary to the Russian
Embassy, visited Portsmouth tart bun yester-.,

We have already stated that the Achilles, from
London to New York, with 180 passengers on
hoard, .bad put into Philadelphia on the '2oth of
September. We are now enabled to add, that
she sailed from Ireland a few months ago with,
nearly 300 emigrants on board, and being 18
weeks on her passage, her provisions were nearly
exhausted before she reachetther clestination_i the.
consequence was, that about 100 of these unfor-
tunate emigrants were obliged to be put on shore
at Cape May, in a most miserable plight. The
remainder, as already stated, were landed in Phi-
ladelphia lit a distressed situation. Some of the
emigrants are tepresented to have been so !educed
to poverty and wretchedness that they were ac-
tually dying in the streets. The aversion,. says a
letter, which they entertain for their native land

were all the religious sects to be assembled to
form a curse, that curse he would leave behind
hint, so rooted was his hatred to his own country.

A letter received from a Gentleman who resides

in Devonshire, states, that his family is supplied
with the best butchers' meat at 31d. per lb. and
he bus the right of making choice of whatever
juims he wishes to have. It is stated that a com.

peril ion being raised at Ryde, in the Isle of Wight,
butchers' meat has been reduced from. Stl. to 441,
and sd. per lb. The competitors came to that
town at the invitation of the inhabitants, from
Newport. It appears by the Northern ,country
papers, that in- many places, where the butcher
markets do not approximate to the ,low prices
which the graziers are obliged to take in the stock
markets, the inhabitants themselves have begun
to slaughter for their own consumption.
On Saturday a very handsome tablet was erect.;
