It wt before the issuing of this order that I had the good fortune t be permitted to take a peep at operations ef so much interest t the civilised world. If the object of the order were to prevent the interruption of the officers in conducting their delicate manipulations by the continual influx of visitors, it was hardly requisite, inasmuch as the successful laying of the cable has brought ver y f ew visitors to the beau tiful little island of 'Valentin. Mr. Ed war d B r i g h t , t h e secr etary to the Magnetic Telegraph Company, paid a h u rried visit on Saturday, returning the next d a y to t Killarney, he e oi ne accompanied by his brother, Charles Bright, eminent t eng ineer of the Atlantic Company. Dr. Hamel, the member of the Imp erial Academ y of sci ence in St. Petersburg, has been here for some days. The doctor is a very learned and ab le man, and occupies a hi g h position amongst the scientific men of Russia. Forty years ego he visited Ireland as the guide of the Grand Duke Michael, brother to the late Emperor; but- hi s present visit to Valentia is prompted by motives of scientific interest. That he takes a very lively interest in this great work ,is apparent from the fact that he visited Valentia last year w lieu the first expedition started. It is not of en that we find a man of his advanced age—he can not be far from 90—in whom the love of science is so keen !a l last, that vessels; hat, became consi d e n r e i e n e r s necessary c as to stimulate him to nude, go for its sake the fatigues of a long journey to so remote a district of the country. The English press is well represented here. You are aware that the Agamemnon and the Valorous have left Valentia. nhotthettpdrro, project t t The former had suffered so severely during both 'expedi tious, and especially during the tremendous gale in June overhauled, and it is calculated that it will cost at least L• 20,000 to re: tore her to a seaworthy condition. The Knight of Kerry would have gladly entertained the officers of incited the Lord-Lieutenant and so to m on e dhi o ta f i longer at Valentin than was absolutely necessary. The knight t m a in connected to right g a h d t ef t e o vo ut en hn r e e c e h m i rl e e h s a r ai i i .msdn thoroughly similar r pr i c ti e C o m g n a t h th e P l l n e ty a It t at which he entertained Lord Carlisle last year; but his excellency's engagements for the present month precluded his acceptance of the invitations just now., He intimated, however, that towards the end of the present or the begin ning, of next month he would probably pay a visit to Valentia, m so that in four or five weeks we .mayoexpect that n i ne d c Y ted di :vit the success of the Atlantic telegraph will be celebrated in a befitting and brilliant manner. "Valentia was visite d y esterday by four officers of the Royal Engineers, who are engaged on a tour of inspection of the Irish 'coast, with a view to the construction ofhar hours of refuge at various points. It is intended to erect ' two or three batteries, which will command the entrance of Valentia harbour, and thus effectually , protect the shipping which may have taken shelter therein from any privateering expedition during times of war, should the peace of Europe be unfortunately disturbed. The engineer officers had an in'erview with Mr. Whitehouse, in order that, if possible, they might adopt their plans so as to afford p r otection to the _ _ . • cable. " I cannot close this 'despatch without - effiressing my sense of the great courtesy which I have experienced from the officers of the eorapany.'' _' , _ - DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE.

Egan, of the University of Cambridge, was umpire - . - They - Started from Putney new bridge. Hammer smith had the best station on the Middlesex shore, 'with Manchester next, and the winners had the worst place. The lead was taken by the Pride of the Thames, so rapidly that at Searle's they bad got into the second best station; Hammersmith, second in the lead, fell into the third posi tion, with about a length between each. In 200 yards Manchester had come up with the Pride of the Thames, and a clipping race was maintained for a quarter of a mile, when the winners began gradually to draw away, and, never being neared, won easily. The contest for the second money was very fierce, and from Craven Cottage to near Hammersmith-bridge, the Hammersmith crew had rowed so gallantly that they went by their opponents, and became second, heading Manchester, at Chiswick Eyot, by half-a dozen lengths. The Richmond crew were all along a capital fourth, but could not overhaul the northcountrymen.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful Con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is Darticularly, recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated Vitheut incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret Paceeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those pe nalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may he avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infir- MnY or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTiLE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is worldwide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. Ile then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, mad in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones.

To-day has been observed as a general holiday ;in this town on the occasion of the opening of a new building in Howard-street for the Mechanics' Institute. It is a hand some and spacious edifice, with every requisite for the pro motion of popular education in the town and neighbourhood, and the most satisfectory part of the affair is, that it has been opened nearly clear of debt. Lord Bury, M.P., and Mr. Justice Halliburton were to have been present, but the one was prevented by domestic bereavement, and the other by a sudden attack of gout from doing so. A long preces sion of the members, the seamen of the port, and the Free masons escorted Mr. Roebuck, M.P., and Mr. W. Lind say, M.P., who arrived by the mid-day train, to the hall, which was densely crowded. The Mayor presided, and after a few observations from Mr. Alderman Tiuley, the president of the Institute, and Mr. Lindsay, M.P., Mr. RGEBUCK preceded to deliver the inaugural ad dress. Ile said,—My esteemed friend, Mr. Lindsay, told me, while we were coming down from London, that I was to-day to deliver an inaugural address. I had hoped and believed my hon. friend Lord Bury would have performed that duty, and I have certainly to express my sorrow for his absence in the first place, and for your disappointment in the second. For he would have done what I shall feebly attempt to do, and with far greater effect than I can pretend to; and he would have done that which he has often done, viz., he would have thrown himself on the popular stream, and shown that he was indeed the friend of the country by manifesting and showing himself the friend of the working classes. (Applause.) My friend's wishes are to me com mands—(mar, hear)—and, if I am unequal to the task, I will yet buckle myself to it. (Applause.) Still the task is not a difficult one. (Hear.) I have to point out to you the great advantages which you may derive from this inslitu tion-L-(hear, hear)—an institution which I am told is in reality what it is called—namely, a mechanics' institution. Hitherto these institutions, intended for mechanics, have been sustained and maintained by very different classes ; they have, in this class, shown themselves wiser than in the mechanical classes—(hear, hear)—aud I will tell you why. They ,have shown that the estimation, the value, I may say the pricelessness of learning, as compared with any physical enjoyment, that intellectual pleasure is tenfold in magni tude. (Hear, hear, and applause.) In the first place, it is longer in its continuance—(hear)—it is not dependent upon circumstances; it is more perennial—(hear, hear) — and it never palls. (Hear, hear.) Let me by a homely illus tration mark to you wh a t I intend you should know—what I mean. But, first of all, let me tell you, that when speak ing of the pleasures of intellectual exertion, I do not dwell sameupon p t o h i a n t t— wi n d a c m h e%ll,,atvneatv it t r y e u n a r b u l c o lt s t a o o m o a f n t e t n o h r e t a s o r d fr o o n m t e a sphere. Now, the great pleasure in intellectual exertion is, not that it raises a man above his sphere, but that it makes him happy iu it. (Loud applause.) I know that we are told that learning and knowledge are a greati distinction ; unhappily they are. But as knowledge becomes more ge neral among the people the distinction will cease—(hear) — and we shall see that as the multitude improve in knowledge the great advantages that are bestowed upon knowledge will apparently be taken from them. (Hear, hear.) What is com mon to all is no distinction—(hear, hear)--and I hope that the time may come when the working men of England may be learned men—(hear, hear, and applause)—and that they may not be as now dependent upon physical enjoyment to render their lives happy. (Loud applause.) Now, let me, as I was about to say, by a very homely illustration, mark to you the advantages that I fancy may be derived from intellectual enjoyment. I will suppose two men about to take a walk in the fields on a summer's day; the one an ignorant man; but suppose that he possesses health, strength, and youth. He goes out into the fields, and, as far as that walk is concerned, he pro cures physical enjoyment; but with the walk his enjoyment ends. But let the man of knowledge go out—let us suppose him to be equally endowed with youth, strength, and health. The very flowers beneath his feet, if he be a botanist, will be a source of enjoyment—the very stones upon which he treads will be a book to him; and as Hugh Miller found a stone quarry a learned volume, the very road will be to him a source of enjoyment. (Applause.) If he be an agriculturist, he looks round and sees fields teeming with wealth, and de rives enjoyment from knowing how the wealth is produced; if he he a statesman, and have the knowledge with which a statesman ought to be possessed, he looks round him and sees a thriving people learning to make this life the means of human enjoyment, and sees before and around him hap piness which is proverbial. (Hear.) Well then, I say, com pare the pleasures of these two men, simply walking upon the road upon a summer's day; the one derives a certain de gree of pleasure that may be got by good health, and there his enjoyment ends. But the other man goes back to his closet, and there he reads in his mind books that he has dwelt upon, anti at every step he derives happiness from this walk. Well then, i say—and I am speaking what I wish to speak to the working men—what are your present pleasures? Why, as I have told my constituents often, "You talk to me about your great regard for the franchise. You do not regard it at all ;" and they were in a great rage with me— (laughter)--" because," I said, " were you to cut off a pot of beer a week you might live in a £lO house. (Applause.) You won't do it, and therefore it is that you don't care about the franchise." (Loud applause.) Well, then, I would say is the wot king classes, let them forego these wretched phy sical enjoyments which pall upon the senses, which rob a man or that which distinguishes him above all other ani mals—viz., bis reason—let him forego those horrible, those wretched places, and let him come to such a building as this. (Loud appiause.) But it does not cease there. There are pleasures derived from knowledge which are not merely the intellecuttal pleasures I am speaking of. There are =oral pleasures. For depend upon it no man can be really a good man who is an ignorant man. (Hear, hear.) Now, that is a bold thing to say, but depend upon it it is true. (Hear, bear.) I have no doubt that Hildebrand and St. Dominic fancied they were doing good when they were destroying human beings. I have no doubt the wretched King of Naples fancies lie is doing good—(" hear," and a laegh)— when he is treating his unfortunate subjects with all the horrors with which he does treat them. Why is this ? Be cause virtue is made up of two things—you must wish to do good, and you mast know how to do it. (Applause.) It is not enough to wish and intend good things, you ought to know what things are good. Time Spaniards have an old proverb, which I will just quote, though it begins with a word which is not generally mentioned to ears polite, " Hell is paved with good intentions." (Hear.) The gi eater part of mankind intend well, but they don't know how to du well. They persecute, they are intolerant, they turn round upon their fellow-man because he differs from them on some simple matter about which they are both equally ignorant. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) They pinch his unfortunate flesh with red hot Irons because he differs from them. (Hear, hear.) Knowledge, and knowledge alone, will do away with this, and as men become learned, and appreciate the value of knowledge, they will learn to be tolerant, and thus they will know that the human mind, fully and fairly employed —many minds being employed on the same object—arrives at differeat conclusions, and if honestly arrived at they ought not to be persecuted. (Applause.) Therefore, I say, that a really good man cannot be made out of an ignorant man. He may intend well ; he may have all the wishes to be good man, but he has not the intelligence ; he dces not know what is good; tie will be a persecutor; he will be a bigot ; he will be a bad man, a lthough intending to be a good one. (Loud applause.) , There is one more thing that I intend to speak of, and I reserve it for the last. Every man has his hobby, and I have mine. (Laughter.) MY hobby is politics—(loud laughter)—but don't be alarmed (turning to Mr. Lindsay) I am not going to talk politics here. (Laughter.) Depend upon it that no people that are igno rant can govern themselves, and no people who do not govern themselves will be well governed. (Hear. hear.) The con clusion is obvious ; and I hope my hon. friend will forgive my politics—(laughter)—for the conclusion is obvious — namely, that in order to obtain political power you must ob tain knowledge.. (Hear, hear.) I do not believe that a nation which is instructed could possibly suffer as I see nations now suffering. (Hear.) I do not believe that if the poor Neapo litan people were as well instructed as the English people, King Bombe could play the pranks that be now plays. So, again, I believe that if the great mass of the French popula tion were equal to their literary men, that the sight we now see could not be seen. No, the people would rise up as one man and vindicate to themselves the right to govern them selves. (Hear, hear.) They would be enabled to speak the thought that is in them without being punished for so doing. (Hear, hear, and applause.) There would be intelligence throughout the land, and with intelligence happiness. (Loud applause.) Well then, let me point out another thing. The age in which we live has been marked by greater im provements than any age of man's history. My grandfather was the first patentee of Watt's steam-engine. (Applause and " Hear.") From his time to the present what has the steam-engine done? It makes our clothing, it carries Us across the ocean, it prints our book., it ploughs our fields, it thrashes our corn—in fact, it will do everything for us by and by. (Laughter and applause.) But why have the im provements taken place so rapidly at the present day ? Be cause many minds are applied to improvement. (Hear.) In times past a man's mind might perhaps arrive at some grand conclusion, from which improvements might spring, but his was a solitary mind. Then the work was evoked by one mind alone; but now, when one man is doing a certain work, a thousand men are doing the same thing., and a thousand intellects may be applied to the improvements of science, and are so applied to the great improvements of modern times. Mr. LINDSAY (holding up a piece of the Atlantic cable) —The electric telegraph Mr. RonnucK—My hon. friend has just reminded me of one of the most marvellous results of the intelligence of the present day. (Hear, hear.) My hon, friend and myself went to Cherbourg. We went there to see a sight, and a sight we did see—(great laughter) —and while we were there we heard of a greater feat than any that we saw. We learned that the electric telegraph had beets laid in the depths of the sea between Newfoundlaud and Ireland. (Ap plause.) That was a feat of human intellect; perhaps the greatest that man's intellect ever has made, At that Very time we were listening to the thunders of artillery —we shw two great potentates—we saw:their kind kisses, (Laughter.) We saw that—how much there was in that for the happi ness of mankind—but that was a negative happiness. It was because they did not do any mischief. (Laughter.) The electric telegraph is a positive good. It binds us to America —it brings us nearer to our great offspring there a and it makes 119, as it were, one people. (Applause.) This is done by human intelligence. You have in this town known a man who owed much to the gifts of nature but knew *hat it was to want learning, and to lack the benefit of instruc tion. I mean George Stephenson. That man was a great man, who was self-cultivated. Now, any than has better means than George Stephenson ever enjoyed, for he was 18 years of age before he could write. Then you have books, you have courees of instruction, yon have the means of he= (miring knowledge • by tilt means you will forward the happiness, not merely of yourselvea, but of the country in which you live. (Loud applause.) You may enjoy political power—you may enjoy intellectual exertion—you may be what you were intended to be, " the noblest work of God." (Loud applause.) - But until you are blest with knowledge you are not a noble creature. (Applause.) I know nothing that strikes me with a feeling of humility and awe equal to seeing a drunken man—except a drunken woman. I thinke there is a being who by God was intended to be a rational creature, and for a few moments of fiery enjoyments he has robbed himself of that which distinguisbes him from a brute —(applause)—aad the brutes are much wiser, for they never get drunk. Depend upon it I tell you an honest truth when I tell you that the best means of rescuing people from the evils and the horrors of intemperance is not by a Maine Liquor Law—(bear, bear)—but by institutions like the present. (Applause.) I dare say that may be a very un.. popular doctrine—(" No, no")—but popularity, is not sought fer by mg. (LAughtor end ppplAuso.) Mis Le riv pplu4ov and, as it is a habit of mine to say what I think, I say the Maine Liquor. Law will not do so much to withdraw the working population of England from the horrors of inebriety and intemperance- as institutions like the present. (Loud applause.) The persons most deeply indebted for institu tions like these are the working men themselves ; and I would entreat of them—for I am their friend, and I thinly I have always shown it—l would entreat of them to put their shoulders to the wheel and support an institution like this, and to say, as my hon. friend here said, raise the number of the members from 300 to 1,000, and then I shall believe the working men of Sht.ffield not only deseiving to have power, but I know they will obtain it. (Applause.) [The Mayor— Of Shields, you mean.] (Laughter.) I mean of Fidel Is. I believe you are of the same stamp; nay mind runs after my own love, you see—(laughter)—but it is not a had sign in a man. (Laughter.) 1 feel. I have occupied your time too much—(" No, no")--and our time is short; ha the words I utter are words which I feel. (Hear,bcar,) Ido not utter them as mere phrases a n d lip rhetotie, thee come i a cwa i nh i t d leitcli t leh o esc,G m tlo e adhl t a l i i Nnp e . e t; H e eha l iaissadasmrbee sickness,: r e e n y( i. n ,e o nothing u n at g pap t g h l aa a lu t na t se i t i . from my tart.

(Loud applause.) Depend upon ins when I tell you, that in that you will find the purest source of enjoyment—never dying, never palling, continuous and ever increasing. (The hon, member resumed his seat amid great applause.) At a crowded soiree held in the Albion Assembly Rooms in the evening, Mr. Alderman Tinley presiding, Mr. Roe buck and Mr. Lindsay delivered addresses. Mr. LINDSAY said—Mr. President and ladies and gentle men—On such an occasion as the present it would ill become me to occupy your time at any length, considering that my esteemed friend Mr. Roebuck has been pleased to join me here this evening. Knowing his power of language, know ing his extensive knowledge, and knowing that if there is any one particular branch in which he does excel it is in the knowledge of the people and the appliances of education, upon which be is so much more conversant than l o it would as I have said, be idle for me to occupy your, time. I have therefore been turning over in my mind how I should best occupy your attention, and I have thought that I could not do better than give you a short account of my trip to Cher bourg. (Applause.) Considering that the leading representa tives of the press of London were there, and that they gave, as they generally do, a very graphic description of that splendid fete, you may think it presumptuous in me to enter upon the subject, but the fete was connected with subjects with which I am familiar—subjects with which you, as a maritime people, are connected ; and I, as a member of the House of Commons, had an opportunity of seeing things from which the press in England would not have been excluded, but from which, I am afraid, the press of Eng land in France were excluded. Well, then, the Peninsu lar and Oriental Company having been good enough to place at the disposal of the House of Com mons one of their magnificent steamers, we proceeded to Cherbourg. My first impression on entering that great har bour was very different from what it was when I left it. On entering the harbour I saw a very different display com pered with that I saw at Spithead. I refer tq the number of ships. Considering that France had made very great exer tions to make a grand naval display I was disappointed with the number of ships which I saw in the bay of Cherbourg. There was one line-of-battle ship, the Bretagne, and there were eight two-decked ship,. The ships, as a whole, struck me as very inferior to our own. In number they were no thing to those which were moored at Spithead at our naval review. The harbour, vvh-n we entered it, was, compara tively speaking, empty. Therefore the sight did not make the impression upon me I expected. But as the harbour began to fill with ships, on which I was proud to see waving the English flag, the French harbour of Cherbourg began to have a different appearance. (Hear, hear.) And when her Majesty entered that harbour in the beautiful Victoria ':yacht, followed by that magnificent vessel the Royal Albert, that splendid two-decker the Renown, and four of the handsomest frig des I ever set my eyes upon, and when the forts on every side began to fire their salvos and thunder forth their salutes, the sight was a very im posing one. Through the courtesy of the Admiral of the French fleet—and it is only fair to acknowledge the courtesy of the Adinira+—owing to his courtesy we were allowed to impressed accompanie dimmensewas with am afraid that I must be saturdentghothse place.edfotchkeyarcls that N I o wwa, I somewhat dry for a few minutes, and, as I don't find that the press have called attention to the fact, I wish to call atten tion to t ie harbour of Cherbourg as compared with our largest harbour. The largest harbour we have is that of v K o e n y p h e a r m t. — W l m he e n a c n o t m h p e et e e w d l t l i a la r t bo h u a r rh a o n u d r will dockyard occupy nearan areaDe of 72 acres. It has two basins, with an area of six acres each. It has three large dry docks, and it has the usual number of storehouses and workshops of various kinds. Now, mark the contrast with Cherbourg. Cherbourg occupies an area of no less than 220 acres—(hear, hear) —an area three times larger than our largest dockyard will be when completed. It has three basins, one containing 15 acres of water, another con taiuiugl6 acres, and the third containing 20 acres of water —five tines the water space of Keyham. Each of these has 30 feet of water at low tides. Along the quay walls of these basins 25 of the largest line-of-battle ships could be moored head and stern. Running in connexion with the dockyard is the railway to Paris and the whole of the interior of France. Down that line of railroad, the opening of welch formed part of the sights to be seen at the great fete—down that railway could be whirled in a day the army of France; 100,000 men could be marched from the interior to the rail way station, and from the railway station right on board ships of war, at any time of the tide, and these ships could sail at any time of the tide. Naw, there is something very striking in all this, aid I said to myself, "What can all this mean?" Docks, forts, and a railway which could bring 100,0U0 men down to Cherbourg, and at a moment's notice, as it were, carry them to the shores.of England. But when I looked over the ships and compared them with our own ships, I said to myself, " You may bring your soldiers down to your dockyards, but before you can get them to England you must command the Channel, and you must have a dif ferent class of ships from what you now have." I thought it my duty to examine the ships. I accordingly went on board tke Bretagne, and examined her with Sir C. Napier. Site struck me as a very magnificent ship indeed. I afterwards went on bawd our own Royal Albert, a ship not so large as the Bretagne, but of a similar class. My feeling after the inspection of both vessels was this—the Bretagne and the other vessels there may be very fine ships, but if both of them were manned by Frenchmen I would prefer to be on board the Royal Albert, for I believe she would soon sink the others. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) When I looked at the sailors—those who got up to the trucks of the masts (while the Frenchmen could get no higher than the yards), and there waved the flag of England with one hanJ, stand ing on one leg and swinging the ether to and fro—l thought the Royal Albert would not be long in making short work of the Bretagne. (Laughter and applause.) When, further, I looked at what was perhaps one of the most magnificent sights I ever saw, between 300 and 400 beautiful yachts, the property of English noblemen, manned by 3,000 or 4,000 of the finest sailors in England, the magnificent ships be longing to that company who were good enough to give us a free passage to Cherbourg—when I thought that they were not more than one-half of the ships owned by the same company—when I looked to the maritime habits of our peo ple—when I looked at the fine class of fellows who "E -mended them, the stalwart forms of the noblemen and gen tlemen of England at the helm, and recellected that these gentlemen could fight in the hour of need as well as their sailors—when I looked at the skill and knowledge of the people to which my esteemed friend referred this morning, I said to myself, " Well, mai a t n n d d sn la,o s rut melancholy France cin e ahe n nee d ee o i hrn u so stupendous cheers.) Be a f r cua s ote l t n :i a tir l br s uu. ept o t w i p roi e e p t i s o l i :s dsf e e w d tnah e t, a, t ft o h anemn a t v u di e g s wiha , : n dt from France, even though she have her mighty dockyards yi o ice t chas h ffr i airs n een g mandraug : l o —sehtne f at e tanle a erdi r :l tinhavtiew— you, for we must not despise our neighbours—France in the constructionulterior object of f t e r mighty arsenal, must have had some British vessels left Cherbourg that mighty dockyard must (bear, hear)—because when the have been almost deserted. And it struck me, "What object can France have had in view in constructing such a mighty arsenal and such immense forts?" Why, depend upon it, she did not build them unless she had some idea of building ships to put into them. (Hear, hear.) It is a ve ry melancholy fact, and I for one regrkdeeply regret, that a feeling of doubt on the part of one nation towards another should have arisen ; but we cannot shut our eyes to the great fact we have seen, that there is one timing in which we are deficient. We have abundance of seamen—we are a maritime people—but in the hour of emergency we have bad a difficulty in obtaining seamen to man our ships. (Hear.) But I am happy to tell you this evening—for I think it is time only difficulty we have now to contend with—'hat the Government are now zealously devoting themselves to this question. (Applause.) They have ap pointed a Royal Commission, of which I have the honour to be a member, and I do ho p e, as the result of our labours, that a plan will be prep ared which will r emove the onl y thing which we have to fear—the manning of our ships in the hour of need.

(Hear bear, and applause.) But he must have felt too that another great source of our wealth was our knowledge, the skill of time working classes, the industry of our artisans —that industry which was en couraged by the opening of such institutions as these — which encouraged onwards those hardy sons of toil, who, after all, are the true secret of a nation's wealth and a na tion's power, (Applause.)

(Laughter.) We did his arms, with furrowed brow, at looking at those mighty forts. He went away and came back, and I thought his heart was in his mouth. (Laughter.) I said, " Why, Lindsay, what have you seen ?" He says, " I have seen something that has terribly astounded me." I saw him next morning, after he had gone to the Royal Albert, awl then he was himself again—the man's heart was in its right place - 7 -(laughter)—he was no longer afraid. I, as a poor lands man, thonght, ' 1 What are these people to do? 'There is a mighty .force of forts; there are a sight of poor ships." Evan for a landsman I discovered that.

But I waS tadt in England, and recollect there is a great difference between being able to say that your soul is your own and not daring to speak above your breath —(hear, he I will never believe until see It, and I don't think I shall tee it in this world, that a set of intelli gent, free-spoken, free-hearted, stro ngfrom ab-armed, and hard fisted men will s uccumb to any terror r (Ap plause.)

But this I will say, that England has been insulted ; England's Parliament vin dicated her;_ and we have had Cherbourg fkes to make up. (Laughter.) I am perfectly willing to acknowledge all that, but with my hon. friend I cannot help feeling and thinking that there is something behind. What is all this for? If I go down to Liverpool I see dock after dock full of merchantmen, I see them coming in from all parts, float ing into that basin in every breath of heaven, laden to the very brim with the world's produce. That is England. But at Cherbourg I saw nothing of the sort. I saw a solitary 90-gun ship ready to be launched upon a Sunday (laughter)—and that was France. (Laughter.) That is the difference between England and France. Depend upon it, we who are here need not be alarmed by anything that my friend has seen—PD..

During the noble viscount's stay in Dublin ' he made a vapid inspection of his improving e states in end around the city. Accompanied by his agent he proceeded along Cabra and the North Circular-road, and viewed with much appa rent satisfaction the number of elegant buildings that have lately been erected on this part of his property. His lord ship was then introduced to Dr. Boake, cne of the most thriving tenants in the neiglibeurhood, after which he in spected attentively the new terrace in course of erection at Manor-street, called Temple-terrace. Having expressed himself gratified at the manner in which the building bad been executed, and very graciously taken his leave of Dr. Boake, his lordship drove on to Chapelizod, and visited the mills of Mr. Dargan, the scene of the recent fire. After spending some time in traversing the principal part of his extensive estate in that direction, the noble lord continued his course round through Ratinnines and Donnybrook, and returned to town highly pleased at the many evidencess of an improving spirit which everywhere met his view. RUMOURED VISIT OF THE HON. S. 11. WALPOLE TO IRELAND. The Secretary of the Home Department, it is said, pur poses paying Ireland a visit in the first week in October. In the latter end of September he will be in official attend ance at Balmoral, but immediately afterwards he has notified his resolve to cross from Scotland direct to Belfast, where he will be the guest of Mr. R. Davidson, M.P., at the Abbey. BANQUET TO MR. BRIMIT, C E. The Lord Mayor of Dublin has announced his intention of entertaining Mr. Bright and the principal officials con nected with the Atlantic Telegraph Company at a banquet in the Mansion-house. His Excellency the Lord-Lieu tenant has graciously accepted an invitation to be present on the occasion, and. the Ist of September has been fixed for the purpose. This is a demonstration which will meet with the cordial approval of ail classes in the city. Such public recognitions of the services of men of Mr. Bright's stamp are praiseworthtliy. They are stimulants to greater exertions in the cause of science, and in the present instance the honour could not be more worthily bestowed. This banquet will also be a graceful feature in the Lord Mayor's official career, which is now nearly aloed, and from his an tecedeuts there is every reason to expect that it will not shame the great event it is to commemorate. MURDER NEAR LISBURN. On Monday night a very melancholy occurrence took plrce at Ililden, near Lisburn, County Antrim, which in a few minutes after resulted in ;lie death of one man named Owen Hughes ; and another, named Kelly, is not expected so live an hour. Two men, named John Martin and Alexander Martin were immediately after arrested for the murder. The pa-ticulars of the sad affair are as follow :—Hilden is the place at which the Messrs. Balfour'S spinning mill is situated, and in the neighbourhood there arc several rows of neat brick houses, occupied by the mill workers. Monday night astrolling fiddler happened to pass along the roads play ing some tunes, and a number of the young men employed in the mill asked a Mrs. Burns to allow them to bring the fiddler into her house and have a dance there. She consented, and a dance was accordingly held. Next door to the house in question the prisoners and accused—the two Martins — resided, and it seems that when the hour became late, about eleven o'clock, the elder of the Martins objected to the dance being continued any later as he had to be up early next (Tuesday) morning to go to his work, and wanted to sleep. It appears Martin proceeded to the watchman at the mill to get him to clear the house of the dancers, and when the latter heard of this they left the house and gave up the dancing, lest Mr. Barton might hear of it and be displeased. As they were leaving the dance-house they met the elder Martin coming up the row in his shirt sleeves. The first man that he met with was James Kelly, and Martin, with an oath, said that he wound put an end to the dancing. Kelly and Martin then struck at each other, and the younger Martin came up, ran at Kelly , and stuck him. Kelly shouted out that he was stuck, and lay over against the wall. He walked in for a little time into one of the houses in the row, and was subsequently re moved to his own residence in the County Down on the other side of the Logan, about a quarter of a mile from the mills. At about the same time one of the Martins got into hold with Owen Hughes, and in a moment he also shouted he was stabbed, and was taken into his own house in the row, where he died in less than an hour. An inquest was held on the body et* Owen Hughes on Tuesday, before Mr. J. K. Jackson, coroner, and a respect able jury, in the office of Messrs. arbour, at Kilden, when the facts above stated were given in evidence. The depositions of Kelly bad been taken by Mr. Gregg, J.P., as it is feared the man will live but only a short time, and in these depositions the dying man states that he struck John Martin, and he believes it was the younger Martin who stabbed him. It may be mentioned that those at the dance were all Roman Catholics, while the prisoners are Protestants; but all the witnesses for the Crown deposed that there was no party feeling in the matter. on to visit Hughes and Kelly.

Sir John Acton, Bart., it is said, has purchased the Dublin _Review, as proprietor and editor. It has hitherto been conducted by Mr. Bagshaw, Q.C., and Cardinal Wiseman. THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. The special correspondent of the Freeman newspaper continues his interesting narrative in this morning's impres sion of that journal. The following portion of his com munication contains some particula rs we ll wor thy o f p er usal : " Mr. Whitehouse and Professor Th omson , the elec tricians,and an efficient staff of clerks, a re engage d night and day in communicating with th e e l ec t r i c i ans a t th e other end of theline, aided h receivingy Mr. from ßart them , Bartholomew, ship p h s e e ign tip ls e , ri i n n te r n e d p e ly n_t, reply — in fact, a curre n t o f e l ectr i c it y cont inues to Pass without intermission along the wires. As I stated in my first letter, I do not think it is p ossible to have full communication with America before a fort night at least at the earliest; and, in all probability , the delay will extend to three weeks. This shou ld not cast any doubt upon the success of the cable , or dis hearten the public, who have looked forward to its ac complishment with so much of interest and anxiety. It must he remembered that the arrangement of the batteries is one of great labour; that the electrical instrument is extremely elaborate; and that it took Mr. Whitehouse, aided as he was, and having every appliance a t his hand, three weeks of incessant labour to get matters into working order here. At Newfoundland many of the facilities which were found in Valentia do not exist. I un derstand that the instrument house was scarcely finished when the Niagara anchored in Trinity Bay; and, under these circumstances, the arrangement of the apparatus will necessarily occupy a considerable time. The delay which must ensue before a message can be transmitted from America to Ireland was foreseen from the first by the ma nazer of the expedition. Through the courtesy of Mr. Whitehouse, I have had an opportunity of seeing the instru ment at work. In addition to the prearranged signals, Mr. Whitehouse has transmitted several messages to which he has t received intelligible replies. Thus, he has sent a messagtea_no this effect—' If you receive this message, repl showingbcer i that signals ;' and the reply has been accordingly, ter an his communication had been understood.

METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. THE MAIN DRAINAGEOF THE METROPOLIS. A special meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday at noon, in the Council-thamber;for the purpose of further considering the main drainage of the metropolis—Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair. The meeting was very fully attended. The following report from the committee of the whole board on the subject of the main drainage was presented : "1, Greek-street, Soho, Aug. 11. " Your committee have, in obedience to the reference of the by and of the 3d instant, considered the plans for the main drainage of the metropolis presented by the board to the First Commissioner of her Majesty's Works, &sc. Your committee have also conferred with Messrs. Hawksley and Bazaigette, Mr. Bidder being absent from London, on those and other plans, and your committee have come to the con clusion that the principles of drainage recommended in the report of Messrs. Bidder, Hawksley, and Bazatgette are those most suited for the requirements of the metropolis. " Your committee, therefore, recommend that the beard should without delay instruct the engineer to report as to the order in which the several parts of the works recom mended in the report of Messrs. Bidder, Hawksley, and bay.algette may he most advantageously and conveniently carried out. " Your committee further recommend that the engineer be iustrneted by the board to prepare specifications for car rying out the several works set forth in the report of Messrs. Bidder, Ilea ksley, and Bazalg,ete, comenci with those parts of the works which the engineer considers to be most urgent. " And your committee further recommend that the engi neer be instructed by the board to prepare plans for and to report to the board as to what advantages may be derived by having the outfall on the south side of the river Thames on Greenwich marshes, providing in that case for deodoris ing the sewage continuously throughout the year. "All which your committee have to submit. " J. THWAITES. " WILLIAM CARPMAEL. " PHILIP CRELLIN." Mr. CARP?fAEL moved the adoption of the report, and adverted at some lsagth to what had been done for some years for the removal of sewage from houses; but in doing so they had largely contaminated the river Thames. That was the only expedient then open to them; but now, In consequence date increased powers conferred upon them byAct of Parlia ment, they were called upon to do away with that nuisance by a system of intercepting sewers. That remedy was to be . obtained by the plan proposed by Messrs. Bidder, Hawksley, and Bazilgette, which was calculated to remove the sewage to points on both the north and south sides of the Thames, so far removed that the sewage should be no nuisance and not come back again within the limits of the metropolis. He then generally combated the objections which had been urged against the plan, and particularly referred to one as to a pro vision only having been made for a population of three and a-half millions. He said at any future time, if an extension of the plan was required for an increased population, that could be effected at a comparatively small expense, and con tended that it was not the duty of this board to make provision for a state of things which might arise at some very distant period. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. CRELLIN, although desirous of seeing the sewage of the metropolis altogether abstracted from the river and ap plied to useful purposes, seconded the motion. His object was to afford some remedy to the present state of the sewer age of the metropolis. wherem etb a y negative Mr. LESLIE said he was anxious not to take up the time leetr w e as , of the board, but still he was utterly unable today what the plan before them was. Indeed it was a series of plans with out any connection with each other. He contended that erroneous, and urged them to delay the execution of these works for a time, until they obtained further information, the calculations which uthrnauddcetbreedtehnienmmludoeneib:yi and dei municipality engineersohfa dthgoneat wcity. a th s a a t servoirs, & c., were altogether unnecessary, and said that fbaolsaerds.tepntheecnontateknednemd i t g h h a t t t b h e e fa p t u a m l t p o in th g e s e ta x t i l s o t n eze re of working satisfactorily up to the present time.

This plan :was supported by Mr. Hyde Clarke, a civil engineer, - d _an h e was also supported by M. Duchatel and other eminent ian French engineers. If this plan was adopted in the metro polis, it would save a large amount of money, and would also avoid the necessity of breaking up the public streets. He concluded by moving as an amendment " That the Metropolitan Board of Works come to no decision upon this subject until the evidence upon the geological drainage of the metropolis . be received by the board "—one important fact being, that at an expense of £ 3 330 a negative artesian descent fur foul water has been made 234 feet in depth, which has been discharging at least 2,700 cubic feet per hour. Mr. Alderman CIMITT hoped they would come to no ~c a t r t conclusion upon this subject before the adjournment for the holidays, and said that, as their officers bad been at work 3= l t for years upon it, the public could well afford to wait for two or three months to enable them to receive further in formation. Mr. BENNETT did not think the board could be charged . with precipitancy, as the scheme , with few exce p tions, had '”Euril been for two years before them, and during that time a a eLi it had been well sifted, both by the board and also by the 4 1-"'" eng ineers, to whom it had been s u b m itted by the late Presi dent of the Board of Works, Sir Benjamin Hall. He hoped the board would not adjourn until after the subject for the A ma in drainage had been disposed of, or was in some pro gress. cacsls After a few words from Messrs. D'IFFANGER and OFFOR, -f ars Mr. CARPM AEI. replied in a few brief remarks.
