Smith, Dr. Neil Anion, and several other labourers in the cause of sanitary N am; and their arrangements, assisted by Mr. W. gimp- Sell, as honorary secretary , led to the meeting held yesterday min the presidency of Mr. Edwin Chadwick, who, in the =avoidable absence of Lord Ebriegton, M.P., in conse quence of the death of his lordship's aunt, Lady E Fortescue, was unanimously called to the chair. —The Chairman opened the business of the day by an able and eloquent tribute to tO reel, talents, energy, and ability of the late Dr. Lynch, sad to his unceasing efforts in the promotion of the cause of ale physical improvement of the condition of the lower lime of the population.

This resolution also received the unanimous appro bation of the meeting, which was addressed in furtherance of its object by Mr. O Rom, Mr. Toynbee, Mr. Henipath, and several other gentlemen. Donations were announced to the amount of upwards of 1601, including the following : —The Duke of Boceleuch, the Earl of Ellesmere, Lord J.

Thanks were then voted to the committee; to Mr. Simpson, the honorary secretary; and to the chairman ; and the meeting separated. ROYAL NAVAL BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.—The late action, " Hoare e. Dickson," has, we regret to learn, proved a source of very heavy expense to this very useful charity ; for though Captain Dickson, the secretary, was so on the occasion, there is little chance of the society getting their cons from the plaintiff; and thus the efforts of the committee to distribute the funds entrusted to this in a proper manner and to worthy objects will, =lass the public assist the society, recoil on the suffering and the needy. Under these circumstances, an appeal is made to the chari— table to place the society in the position it would have been in had not the action been brought, and to that appeal we wish success. 6a. tisTilimies Dm Farr —Thu Lomb Osman skarn of her Myeety's Treasury having reselmed • Marshal ken Messrs.

It is a manual of all the common-place fallacies which will be used in the new parliament by those who will seek to dis tract or minimise reform in the criminal law without directly opposing it. the earnest friends of criminal law reform will here find all the fallacies which during the next session of the legislature it will be their teak to expose or laugh down. It is something that our adversaries have shown their cards so long beforehand. THE ELECTIONS. MAYO. ORKNEY. The nomination of candidates for the representation of Orkney and Shetland took place at Kirkwall on Thursday. The state of the weather has prevented the crossing of her Majesty's mails ever since ; so that we are without a de tailed report of the proceedings. A sailing regard, however, brine lac wa that on a show of hands being required by the sheriff, an overwhelming proportion was shown for Mr. Anderson, upon which a poll wu demanded on the part of Mr. Banda,. The polling does not take place till the 26th, and as the uncertain state of the weather frequently detains the mails on the Orkney side of the Pentland Frith, it la very probable that the result will not be known in London before the 7th or Bth of September. In Shetland Mr. An derson will have a large majority, but Orkney may consider ably neutralise it. Both candidates, with their friends and agents, are moving heaven and earth in their canner.

We are well nigh over the election tumults. Only two remain—Kildare and Kilkenny—the last illus trating the fable of its time-honoured " cats," for there all the candidates are repealer' • the former, in the of him of " the bloody combating against the comlined forces of the Geraldine. and conservatives. The duke is " decidedly opposed" to Mr. O'Neill disturbing the peace of the " Wood of Oaks;" but Mr. O'Neill sets them all at defiance, and inscribes " repeal" and " tenant right" on his banners. The new poor law came into operation here to-day, the distribution of food under the Temporary Relief Act having ceased on Saturday. I have reason to believe that the day was got through very well ander the circumstances, as one of the chairmen of oar unions has aimed me that they distributed out-door relief to several thousands, and that the mach was as complete am could posiably be expected. Its to be hoped that the transition will be found as easy in the provinoes as in the metropolis. The act 10 & 11 Vict., c. 100, to regulate th e superannuation allowances of the constabulary and me litan police force of Ireland, was published on y. By it—for service above fifteen and less than twenty years—an annual superannuation anon not exceeding two-thirds of the pay of the party is allowed, provided the party shall contribute to the diSnation hind two per cent. per annum of his . Every officer down to the sub-constable s e n d n in the execution of his duty, is entitled to full allowance. The New York ocerespondent of the Freeman states on the authority of an eye-witness, that "of 2235 human beings who left Europe in five vessels—the Jessie, from Cork ; Erin's Queen, Sarah, and Triton, all from Liverpool ; and the Avon, from Cork ; not more than 500 will live to settle in America." The next annual meeting of the Royal Agricultural Improvement Society of Ireland is to be at Mullingar, the centre of one of the richest districts in Ireland, and, from its vicinity to Dublin, and the facilities of railway communication, likely to prove one of the , moat successful exhibitions of the society. Among the exceptional cues to the general order of relief termination yesterday, is the'rnam union. On a representation of much distress to the com missioners, they have sanctioned animates for another , fortnight, up to the 29th inst., but " en • very reduced ' scale; " and, as a stimulus to honest endeavour on the part of the committee', the commissioners further state that, " if the committees act in good faith in reducing the lists by climes, the commissioners may then even consider the expediency of continuing relief to the impotent for a limited time longer." Tali REPEAL ABSOCIATION.—Mr. Maurice O'Connell took the chair at the meeting in Conciliation Hall to-day. The hall was greatly crowded. The Chairman made a long address, and suggested to the assemblage of the Irish repre sentatives of all *ides to take counsel together previous to the meeting of p►rliament. In the meeting this proposition was well received. Among the accessions to-day was Mr. EVENING, AUGUST 18, 1847. ANOLEHEA : N Lard , IF. WALES, II r .... L I ANOLEARA °cOUNTY • air R. B. w.

Grouse and red-deer are the topics of the day. Respecting the former, reports were contradictory be. fore the 12th, and they are, if possible, more contra dictory since. Confined here in rheumatic dignity, I opine, with Sir Roger de Corerley, "that much may be said on both sides." I believe that an extensive epidemic prevails among the birdx, but that certain localities have escaped. For example, one lugubrious friend writes me from his shooting-box in the Crieff district : Tbe shooting b very bed indeed. Tbere Is not one bird where there were My lad year—no, net one for a hundred. It is useless going out, so on Monday I return lima - - As my friend is - On elder in the Kirk, it may be ad visable to note that he deferred his departure till Monday on account of his aversion to Sabbath trra 'filling, not with a view to taking a sly shot on Sunday. The days of Callum Beg are gone, and Sunday does now "come aboon the Paas o' Bally : brough." In strict honesty, however, I must admit that there was a jolly party assembled at the lodge, with 'a fair supply of Glenlivat. Now for the per contra : it comes from the braes of Atholl awl --, with two runs barged fifty brace and up wrardn The birds were all floagrown and in excellent condition. Not a discoed re sit. was discovered by either ; —barged thirty-one brace of fine bads on • moor of limited extant ; and he did not rem& his around till twelve, having previously been pitched over-head by his sheltie on the stony road wah roes violence, that bad hi. had not been well stufled with broom& of the law (or his ancastees' .` bones" and logarithms), it must have gonehard with him. To make some amends for the unequal crop of grouse, the red deer are in fine condition. The stag's heads are already free of velvet. Your west country correspondents will keep you informed of the Queen's progress. Dun-Edin is almost deserted. The whole population are " stepping west ward."—Vide Wordsworth's Poems. To return to more sublunary matters : a popular retrograde movement has been made by the town council of Kirkaldy, which, by a majority of 8 to 7, has resolved to exclude the public from their meetings. A new addition has been made to the catalogue of railway dangers. On Saturday evening, while a I goods train was going from Edinburgh to Berwick, a stoker engaged at the top of the funnel inhaled the sulphuric fumes of the coke, which immediately ren dered him insensible, and he fell with violence to the ground, striking the iron frame of the engine in his descent. Medical assistance being obtained he soon after recovered ; but his case may serve as a warning to avoid similar inspirations. WALES. THE ENORMOCS BRIDGE which is in course of erection across the Menai Strait, has been thus desbribed by correspondent of the Manchester Examiner s--" If we I suppose ourselves stationed in a boat in the middle of the Menai Strait, a few hundred yards distant from the new bridge en the south side, and suppose it finished, we shall see a wonder of the world of this kind ; first, there is the middle pier rising out of the water founded on the Britannia rock, after which the bridge is named. This rock can be seen at low water. The breadth of this pier is 64 feet by 63 feet and a quarter of an inch. The blocks of stone are seven and eight feet long, by three and four feet in breadth and deepness, and they rise, stone upon stone, until the pier is two hundred and thirty feet high. At the distance of four hundred and sixty feet on each side of this centre pier there rise, near the water's edge, two other piers of the same gigantic breadth and height ; while on each side of these two piers, at the distance of 250 feet, there rise two walls. Continuing outward., the wall on our right hand, on the Carnarvon shore, does not extend its ponderous bulk far back, for the land is high and bold, and the railway comes along its elevated brow and at once lays hold of the bridge. But on our left band, which is the Au glesea shore, the wall is the forehead and end of a mighty embankment, on which the railway is raised to the level of the bridge, There, then, are the four spaces before us, across which, in the iron tubes, the railway is laid, namely, two spaces on each side of the centre pier of 460 tat each —(let the reader measure 460 feet on a street or on a road, and he will wonder at the vastness of this structure) • and two more spaces of 250 feet respectively, at each end. 'The tubes are eight in numbur, each of them 36 feet on the exterior aide, and 27 feet high in the interior. Each is 14 feet wide, and they are laid in couples parallel to each other. In the whole, with the breadth of the piers and the landward budding", the length of the bridge is one third of a mile. In height the three piers are, as already said, 230 feet. Measuring from low-water mark to the bot tom of the tubes, the height is 130 feet, the tube. being 30 feet on the side, and the pier 70 feet above their upper sur face. As ornaments to the two walls which rise upon , each shore, are four lions, two at each end of the bridge. The lions contain about 8,000 cubic feet of stone. They lie couched, and yet the height of each is 12 feet' the greatest breadth across the body is 9 feet; the length 2-5 feet • the breadth of each paw two feet four inches. The tube s are made of plates of iron of various thicknesses, riveted together. The iron increases in thickness as we proceed towards the centre. The roofs of the tubes are formed of cells, and also the floors. 'I hese cells are formed of iron plates set on edge, the cells of the roof being within a fraction of one foot nine inches square, and those of the floor being one foot nine inches wide, and two feet three inches deep. The rails on which the trains run are laid on these cells of the floor. The flat bottom, the two upright sides, and the flat roof of each tube are formed of plates, the thinnest of which is a quarter of an inch, and the thickest three quarters of an inch. The weight of each of the four long tubes will be about 1,300 tons; the weight of each of the four short ones about 600 tons. In the whole there will be at least 7,600 tons of iron used. The masonry will coat 200,000/. They expect to finish the masonry by August, 1848. It will contain one million and a half of cubic feet of stone." PROVINCIAL.

For the first time in the history of this country, art is to be called upon by our government to decorate the seat of legislature. The successive exhibitions which have taken place in Westminster-hall have shown that the want of patronage under which historical painting has languished in England has not altogether destroyed its vitality. They have preyed that we possess artists competent to conceive and execute works not altogether unworthy of ranking as national records. This preliminary fact once ascertained, the Fine Arts Commissioners delrgated to a sub-con...- the task of determining on a enispkite scheme of damos tions for the magnificent pile wow fast approaching oompletion at Westminster. Tits report of the 0011- almoners, just published, include" the plan of this sab-committee. The names of Mahon, Russell, Macaulay, and Hell= among its members are the beet guarantees for that knowledge of our history which is iedisismsable to the selection of appropriate subjects of commemoration. That the subjects should have been so chosen was absolutely ne emery to save the country from common-place on tho one side and extravagance on the other. The education of our artists generally u not so consummate as to make them very trustworthy selectors of their own subjects on such an occa sion. The committee have also by tbu step done their best to secure a greater comprehensiveness of scheme, and unity of intention, than could have been attained if the dasioatioos had been planned bit by bit by the coin latigemers, and still less if the choice of themes had been bls te the artists called upon to execute them. Speak the, result of the sub-committee's deliberations bsoditable to their taste. They have presented us ealk a worthy of the country, and opening a magni- Mega Sold to the artists of oar time and that which is to Imegmi it ; for we now living can hardly expect to see all emeded out which the commissioners have suggested. It is above all things to he hoped that the work will be gone about with eamileration, and without hurry. Lord malt not he allowed to drive the painter, as he bas to ilrivie poor Mr. Barry. No pledges must be even to kis lordship (not even on the plea of stopping his month) that the work will be finished by a particular time. He must be taught practically that there is a literal truth in the old adage, "ars bongo, via breria," ea applied to himself and the decorations of the new houses of parliament. The committee have gone through the building from St. Stephen's Porch to the Painted Chamber, giving the dimen sions of the spaces to be filled with picture, statue carved work, or heraldic ornament, assigning subjects to each space, and stating briefly the reasons which have guided them in their selection. The report indicates a real advance in conception of the relation of art to the deliberations of the legislature, and ties institutions of the country. There is a completeness about it which was hardly to be expected from authorities who committed the building of our National Gallery to a Wilkins. There is a soundness of artistic judgment in it which we should not have looked for little more than a mile from the Wellington statue, almost in reach of the shadow of the Nelson column, sod scarce out of healing of the Trafalgar bunting. = la 11, ''s Porch is to be adorned by four statues : two K like are to ropriatod to Marlborough and Nel elln, two In As peace and war are reopm fended as enigma kr the paintings for this part of the anildlege, why skald wet the stake of Howard have one of dr wont places, as probe* our greatest apostle and Imam of charity 2 St. Slifka's Hall, as the site of the aid Mum et Comma, is es he adeened Ortwelve stakes of man Who Ink dim es irminmee by parbamentary ability and ologermeo, Oa de weds ore to - be Paktbega, Was ik*, OW onklinationid, and eoclesiastiod the "it IMilegrst On Wittenagemete, esehd, " " The Hoek= Barons to WUII= the Conqueror," "The First Writ brought down to the City of London," " The T. nation of the Baronial Wars by the Crowning of Rimy the Eleventh on Bosworth Field," "An early Trial by Jury_ " "The Signing of Magna Chorea," "A Lord on Ma Death bed Manumitting his Villains," and "Sir Thome* More Armenian the Privileges of the Commons against Cardinal Woleety."

C noble brother's nominee, was celebrated at Duraley on Mon day, by a public dinner.—Mr. Orantley Berkeley said, the grossest corruption, debauchery, and bnbery ever witnessed, characterised the late election. At Colder& port and sherry were actually handed about in cans, and children were lying in the roads in a state of drunken helplessness. The conduct of the lord-lieutenant would and must be made the subject of inquiry at the foot of the throne. Petitions were already in course of signature. One from the " Electors a n a Inhabitants," and another from the " Mothers and Daughters," praying her Majesty to dismiss the lord-lieute nant ; and at Thornbury, so eager were the people to sign them, that it was found necessary to place • police man at the door, to keep back the pressure of the crowd. CAPABILITIES OF A RAILWAY ENGINE.—On Thurs day last the Ewe" locomotive engine brought from Baty St. Edmund's or Stowmarket, to Ipswich, the amazing num ber of 149 loaded goods waggons at one time, and when the enginereached the Ipswich station, the other extremity of the line of waggons was close to the bridge on the London-road, a distance of nearly a mile ! This we (Ipswich Express) be lieve to be the largest goods train that ever arrived at any station in the kingdom ; there was one, we believe, on the Birmingham and Mancheett r, consisting of 192 empty trucks. On the morning of the same day the " Essex" took 8.5 loaded carriages or truclu from Ipswich to Stowmarket, a burden of at least 600 tons, and on the fellowistg morning it drew 76 loaded waggons from Ipswich to the tame town. Some idea may be formed, from the above statement of facts, of the vast capabilities of good locomotive eagines, an well as of the importance of the traffic on the Eastern 'Onion line, which will, double's, be greatly increased when the line is extended to Norwich. GROWT/1 oY WIIEAT " : 2 -10Uiel Phillips, a gardener at Hastings, sowed last autumn 410 grains of red wheat on one rod of ground, in drills 12 inches apart, and by single grains near eight inches asunder. This produced within a few days past the enormous quantity of fire gallons, being at the rate of 100 bushels per acre; the quality of . the grain is good, and it weighs GOlbs per bushel. The we ight of straw was 681bs. The ground had been preciously planted with potatoes, which being blighted were dug in. Sixty-two straws sad 1,744 grains were counted as proceeding from one grain. The ground had been manuredlu the winter of 1846 with a quarter of a load of rough dung, and the wheat, when young, dreamed with one gallon of soot. COMPARISON BETWEEN — THE ELECTIONS FOR SOUTH ESSEX IN 1837 AND 1847.--In 1837 the opp osing candidates were Mr. Palmer and Mr. Branfill ;in 184 7, Mr. Smyth and Sir B.N. Buxton. In 1837 the number of electon on the register was 5,547 ; in 1847, 5,322, being a de mean of 225. In 1837 the total number polled was 3,879, in 1847 about 3,700, being but a trifling . decrease, and about the same proportion so in 1837, comidenng the number then on the register. It appears that 569 rotes less were recorded for Mr. Smyth in 1847 than for Mr. Palmer in 1837. The principal decrease arose in the Stratford district, where 201 less polled for the blue candidate, but without a correspond ing increase to the opposite party. The largest proportionate gain to the orange candidate was in the Maldon district, where Mr Smyth polled 35 lea than Mr. Palmer in 1837, whilst on the other hand, Sir E. Buxton obtained 59 rates more than Mr. Branfill in 1837. Chelmsford stands next in order, for in this district there was a ton to the conservative candidate of 77, and a gain to the liberal cause of 48. The total number of votes recorded for Mr. Branfill in 1837 was IMO, and for Sir E. N. Buxton 1,729, being an increase of 179. KENT. Trig FORCE OE IMAGINATION.—The following singular circumstance is one of many that occur without finding any publicity. We (Canterbury Journal of Satur ' day) relate the fact as it was received from Captain Corbin. The captain went his rounds among the passengers to re ceive their fares. Upon taking the amount demanded from two ladies, one of them discovered, in consequence, that she was on her way to Ramsgate, and not, as she thought, to Margate. Captain Corbin, seeing her sudden alarm, assured her that the difference was comparatively nothing, so the weather was fine, and the sea as smooth as glau. She, how ever, expressed the utmost dread of the North Foreland. Captain Corbin heard but little further on the subjeet, natu rally imagining that in a little time she would laugh at her 111-grounded fears. Upon being told by her companion that she was "off the North Foreland," the lady in question fell back into a fainting fit, from which she never recovered. She was removed horn the steamer (the Little Western) upon its arrival at Ramsgate, and plaaed in a fly by order of the captain, who himself obtained apartments far the insen sible lady and her distracted sister. Every care and atten tion was paid her, but she died the same evening. Jim arts. DECORATION OF THE NEW HOUSES OF 1
