THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND

At six o'clock on Wednesday evening her Majesty, Prince
Albert, and a portion of the royal family, accompanied by
the Prince of Leiningen and suite, embarked in the royal
yacht from Osborne-pier under salutes from the royal
yacht squadron, battery, West Cowes Castle, on the trip
to Scotland.

The royal squadron consisted of the two royal yachts,
the Undine, Black Eagle, Scourge, and Garland. The
latter, hitherto supposed to be the fastest steamer under
the pennant, was beaten during Tuesday by the Fire
Queen, newly purchased iron steamer of the Undine class.

The squadron made all speed, passing through Cowes
Roads. The night was passed in Yarmouth Roads.
Soon after daybreak on Thursday morning the squadron
got under weigh, the Scourge taking the lead through the
Needles passage ; the Fairy, Undine, Black Eagl

Garland following the ViciOria and Albert. Be-fore the
squadron, however, had proceeded five or six miles, a fog
came on ; and it was deemed prudent to run into Allum
Bay, near Freshwater, just under the Needles rocks, to
the eastward. In the course of an hour or so the weather
somewhat cleared up, and the royal yacht was again got
under weigh. By nine o'clock it had well cleared the
rocks, and was steaming away at full speed to the west-
ward. There was a smart breeze blowing up Channel
from the southwest, but comparatively little sea.

At half-past three o'clock on Thursday afternoon the
royal squadron ran into Dartmouth Bay, and anchored
there for the night, having accomplished little less than a

undre

he voyage.

The Queen was on deck-until some time after the yacht
anchored, closely attended by the Prince of Wales " in
the costume of an A. 8." Her Majesty looked remark-
ably well, and answered the cheers of her subjects, who
crowded in boats round the vessel, by gracious smiles and
bows.

- -
Long before daylight on Friday morning, the bustle of
departure was heard among the royal squadron, lighting
fires and getting the steam up. At four o'clock the sig-
nal was made to " weigh." In a few minutes the whole
squadron majestically left Dartmouth, under a royal
salute from the castle battery, and proceeded down the
Channel for the Scilly Islands, where her Majesty re-
mained for the night. The morning was beautifully fine,
and the sea calm.

On Sunday afternoon, about half-past two o'clock, the
royal squadron arrived off Carnarvon Castle, where the
pace was slackened to take a view of the bay and surround-
ing scenery, but no one landed. We learn, however, that
during the short stay of the royal party, her Majesty re-

.
ceived a congratulatory address from the inhabitants; pre-
sented by the Mayor of Carnarvon.

From Carnarvon her Majesty proceeded towards the
Menai Bridge and Beaumaris, having previously disem-
barked from the Victoria and Albert yacht, and, along
with the Prince Consert, Earl Grey, and several other
members of the royal party, gone on board the Fairy ;
the command of which for the time was assumed by Lord
Adolphus Fitzclarence. The Victoria and Albert yacht,
and the other vessels forming the squadron took a different
route, and anchored off Puffin Island, there to wait the
arrival of her Majesty—from Beaumaris. About three
o'clock the Fairy reached the Straits, followed by the
Garland, government steamer. A royal salute announced
her Majesty's arrival at the bridge. Just below the bridge
the Prince landed on the Carnarvon side, from a hand-
some open gig, painted bright purple, and belonging to the
Fairy. He was attended by several noblemen and gentle-
men connected with the party, and some of the officers
belonging to the squadron. After visiting the bridge, the
Prince again went on board the Fairy, and in about half
an hour again disembarked on a visit to Penhryn Castle,
the seat of Colonel Douglas Pennant, where his Royal
Highness remained nearly an hour. _ _ _

During this time her -Majesty was observed on deck
taking a sketch of Penhryn Castle, and the adjacent
scenery, whilst the royal children were to be seen running
about on deck.

An immense number of yachts and steamers from Liver-
pool, and other places, had assembled to witness the
interesting scene ; and the weather being exceedingly fine,
the sight was most animating and the feeling enthusiastic.
The yachts belonging to the Royal Mersey Yacht Club
were assembled in considerable numbers, and contributed
very much to the beauty of the scene. An interesting
circumstance connected with the' day's proceeding occur-
red, which is invested with still additional importance
from the fact of her Majesty being almost immediately
connected with it. Amongst other vessels, the fine steamer
Prince ofW ales left Liverpool on Saturday, with alarge party
on board. to meet her Majesty ; and, during the shortstayof
the royalparty in theneighbourhood, Captain Warren, com-
mander of the Prince of Wales, took the passengers onboard
the Prince, in an open boat, round the royal yacht
Fairy, in order to bring them into more immediate
proximity with the Queen. Whilst so engaged with
about the fourth boat load, which numbered several ladies,
and being close to the Fairy, Captain Warren, who could
not at the time distinguish the young Prince of Wales,
jocularly observed, " Its very hard that I am commander
of the Prince of Wales, and yet cannot see the Prince of
Wales." Her Majesty, who was at the time sketching,
unobserved by any of the party in the boat, overheard
Captain Warren's observation, and immediately ran after
the Prince, who was playing on deck, caught him in her
arms, and holding him up to their view over the side of
the Fairy, said to his Royal Highness, " Now, Sir, take
off your hat to the ladies and the Captain of the Prince
of Wales." We need scarcely say that this gracious act
on the part of her Majesty was duly acknowledged.

MANCHESTER TRADE, AND THE CROPS,
COTTON, &c.

MANCHESTER, AUGUST 14

There is but little new to report in our trade operations
since Tuesday. Prices continue much the same, but the
general appearance, if possible, more dull and heavy. The
weather, on the whole has been very favourable, and har-
vesting operations are progressing rapidly. During the
whole of yesterday and to-day the glass rose with extra-
ordinary quickness, until it is now at "set fair."

The accounts brought by the Britannia are by no
means favourable, and the subjoined extract from the
New York Courier and Enquirer is looked upon as mate-
rially affecting the future state of our markets. It has
been a topic of general conversation on 'Change to-day.
" In relation to the appearance of the next crop, we
cannot continue to give as favourable an account as in our
last report. At that date, we alluded to the favourable
appearance of Lower Mississippi, Louisiana, South Ala-
bama, Florida, and Texas ; and that the only danger to
be apprehended was, that the heavy rains which had set
in there would flood the country, and render the ground inc a
pable of being worked; and that the naturaltendency would
be an excessive growth of the weed, causing the plant to
run to stalk, as in 1840 ; and also creating an exuberance
of grass, which it would be impossible to remove, and
which would be fatal to the second planting, on which so
much at this season depends. Since that date the rains
have continued over the greater part of, the above states,
and also over Georgia and South Carolina, but with little
intermission. Florida and Texas being alone excepted
and, we think,, the prospect now mor
for a good yield than during the last

Quicx DESPATCH.—The ship Lampert, belonging to
Thomas Ripley, Esq., from Bombay, discharged on
Thursday 2,284 bales cotton, 1,500 bags pepper, 10 tons

the scale in 114 hours, in the Albert Dock. The tonnage
of the vessel was 614. This instance of despatch was
conducted under the superintendence of H. Williams,
wharfinger.
CHARGE OF HOUSEBREAKING.—Yesterday, at the
Police Court, five persons, named respectively John
Moore, Michael Williams, Peter Duff, Mary Cull, and
Sarah Maharrow, were charged with having stolen from a
house in Mill Street, a silk dress, a gold brooch, and two
shawls, on Saturday afternoon last. It appeared that on
Saturday afternoon, the prosecutor, a young woman, went
to the market, and was not away more than a quarter of
an hour, but on her return she found that the articles had
been stolen. Evidence was adduced to prove that the
five prisoners had been drinking at a public house adjoin-
ing the house where the robbery was committed, during
the early part of the afternoon' and that they had been
skulking about the last named house. It was further
proved by a boy who came forward as a witness, that the
three male prisoners were seen coming over the wall at
the back of the house, and handing the articles to the two
female prisoners, who were waiting outside. The articles
had been pawned, but the pawnbroker not being able to
attend, from indisposition, the priaonera were remanded
to thig day.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
(BY EXPRESS.)

LONDON CORN MARKET.—YESTERDAY.
The arrivals of all articles of home growth up to our market
last week, coastwise, as well as by land carriage and samples:
were on a very limited scale, and the receipts from Ireland and
Scotland were trifling.
From abroad, however, the imports were large, viz., 66,14
qrs. of Wheat, 4,471 qrs. of Barley, 20,817 qrs. of Oats,
qrs. of Wang, 13,182 qrs. of Indian Corn, 76,041 barrels and
1809 sacks of Flour.

Fresh up to-day, the receipts of Wheat of home produce were
very moderate—say about 900 quarters, 600 of which were of the
present year's growth, and of fair average quality, although the
weight was by no means heavy. The large failures which 0C
curred here last week had a very prejudicial effect upon the
Wheat trade, notwithstanding the heavy rains which fell in the
early part of the morning._

Still, however, in some instances, selected qualities of Entl,-
lish Wheat sold at prices about equal to those obtained on this
day se'nnigbt, but the middle and inferior qualities were with
difficulty disposed of at a &cline of Is. per quarter. At the
close of the marizet a fair clearance had been effected. There
was a very large quantity of foreign Wheat on offer, in, for the
most part, middling condition.

Owing, in some measure, to the great pressure of American
lour upon the market, and the probability of a further decline
the quotations of Wheat, all kinds of Foreign were heavy, and
rhen sales were pressed, the quotations ruled Is. to, in some
Istances, 2s. per quarter lower.

The Sound list shows a large number of vessels, laden with
grain, bound to England. Notwithstanding the quantity of
Barley brought forward was by no means large, compared with
that exhibited for some weeks past, the Barley trade was heap"},
at barely, but at nothing quotable beneath, last week's cur-
rencies.

The quantity of Malt on offer was trifling in the extreme;
nevertheless, the transactions in it were in retail, at barely sta-
tionary prices. Scarcely any English Oats were brought for-
ward, but the supply of Foreign was good.

The Oat trade was in a very dull state, but we can notice no
further decline in value. There was a slow sale for Beans, but
last week's quotations were mostly supported.
We had a very dull sale for Peas, the supply of which wa4
chiefly composed of the last year's growth, and prices had a.
downward tendency.—lndian Corn was in good supply and
heavy demand, on somewhat easier terms.

The Flour trade was excessively icieaVyTbut we can notice no
actual depression in valne, although some of the importers
offered on lower terms.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.—YESTERDAY.
The Beef trade was in a sluggish state, at, in some instances,.
a decline in the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight 01
2d. per 81b. ; the highest figure for the best Scots being 4s. 'id'
per Slb. Nearly, or quite, the who'e of the prime Beasts were
disposed of; but at least 300 of the inferior Beasts were turned
out unsold.
With Sheep we are again tolerably well supplied ; yet the
Mutton trade was steady, though we cannot call it brisk, at
prices about equal to those paid last week, the prime Downs
realizing ss. 4d. per 81b.

herents, but he knows not how." t°
NEW ZEALAND.—By advices from New Zealand, t
the 20th of March, we have received rather importro
intelligence. The accounts state that the land citrsrd,
between the natives and the Governor had been adjus'e,d
at an interview held between his Excellency and sev.e'e—a
of the chiefs. The amount of compensation to be reeelirkea
by the natives is £5,000 ; namely, £2,000 for the dispute
lands at Parrau, and £3,000 for the Wairau. The ni°l6lot)
was to be paid down•in five yearly instalments. Xl, tg
of the amount is to be paid down this year; two paymen
`
of £l,lOO will be made in the next two years, and the gst
mainder will be paid in the two following years, the ...st
instalment being paid in 1857. By the concession Po
made, the government obtain all the land from Wairall,

have been, and continue to be, most appalling. The 0-
