THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is world-wide. 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. He then bought some of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining - secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

GLENFIELD PATENT STARCH , USED IN THE ROYAL LAUNDRY, AND PRONOUNCED BY HER MAJESTY'S LAUNDRESS to be THE FINEST STARCH SITE EVER USED. Sold by all Chandlers, Grocers, &c., &c. turnpike. In this respect, all the way from Aboyne to the very inn doors at - Charleston of Braemar, a very satisfactory. - change has taken place, and the Wonder is, considering the miserable state of the roads previously, how such an.amount of improve ment has been effected in so short a space of time. So it -is, hoNVever ; and one or two of the greater changes for the better are worth a word of mention. One of the bleakest and worst - parts Of the road between Aboyne and Balloter used to be the Weary moor of Dinnat, where, with the excep tion of having pointed out to you the scenes of Byioii's bOyhood, the snail's pace of the coach was unblessed by a single blink of interest or attraction. Now, however, the road takes an entirely new turn northwards, and in addition to having a good path over which the coachthan can, for the most part, rattle briskly, the paskiiger obtains a close view of a sheet of water of considerable size;known as Loch Kinnord, in connection with which various inte resting stales are told. It. is said, for instance, in accents of pride, and probably truth, by the dwel lers in the neighbourhood, that on one of the islands of this loch a Scottish King—Malcolm Canmore, to wit—built a palace or hunting seat, and not only this, but that he also raised a prison for the use of such of his rebellious subjects as might require ac commodation of that kind. Be this truth or fiction as it may, there can be little doubt that hereabout a castle at one time did stand, and that, in the immediate vicinity, and within view from the top of the coach can be witnessed the field's where was fought the great . , battle of Cul -- The next important improveinent on the road worthy of special notice has been effected at the steep rock over which the coach and horses used to slide slowly and cautiously, just before reaching the little hostelry at Cammas-o'May. Many were the timid maidens and responsible matrons who were wont to " steek their een," alias shut eyes right and left, on reaching this uncomfort able point ; while other people, including men of no small nerve, were fain to keep a " good grip," fearful lest by the breaking of some unfaithful " girth" or " trace"- the whole bypothic might •be unceremoniously sent headlong into the silvery Dee, which runs so sweetly and invitingly below. But now, thanks to the strong right bands of the disciples of Macadam, the descent is both safe and easy. Coachee scarce lets his nags feel the rein or bit, but, giving them head with a " crik" and a " crack," drives smartly down to the foot of a brae, when, with a fine professional " So-ho, gentle mare," he draws up, hands the ribbons to some proud and privileged box passenger, and forthwith proceeds to taste the capabilities of the little inn in the way of supplying " good refreshments, for man and -beast." Let us, however, fall once more into our proper position for the time being,--the wake of the royal visitors. Ballater was reached at a quarter-past five--an hour which allowed timely opportunity to the many lady and gentleman lodgers—to say nothing of the respected inhabitants of the village —to duly dress and dine, so that they might look well and contented when her Majesty came. The company. in waiting was both numerous and fashionable, and the interest was materially heightened here by the presence of a fine body of some 60 men of the 78th Highlanders from Aber deen, under the command of Captain St. George, and Ensigns Ewing and Thomson, who are to remain at Ballater, as a guard of honour to her Majesty during the Royal stay in the Highlands. Besides the _ leading parties in the district, there were present Dr. and Mrs. Hunter, Edinburgh ; Mr. A. Smith, London; Mr. W. R. Bruce ; Mr. D. Duthie ; the Rev. Messrs, Corbet, Middleton, Campbell, Peters, and Web. ster ; Mr. Simpson, jun., Procurator-Fiscal ; Mr Smith, &c. Another change of horses here took place—Mr. Ross, of the Nrotialirie Arms, taking up the posting. After a stoppage of -abotre"frevi minutes, the Royal party drove off amid .hearty cheers, crossing—to the surprise of the spectators-.-. the bridge of Ballater, and thus proceeding by the south side of the river to the castle. It was antici pated that her Majesty, as formerly, Would have taken the north approach. Ballater, it may be noted, seems to be gaining, if that be possible, in popularity, the number of visitors and summer residents during the past few months having been unprecedently great. Travellers leaving Ballater about the same time as. the Queen, butholding on their way to Braemar by the north side of the river, would, at Crathie, meet lots of pleasure seekers, in dogcarts and on foot, who had come down the country to see her Majesty pass to the palace. Otherwise than obtain ing a hasty glimpse of the cortege at a distance as, at a quarter-past six, it drew up at the castle, they were, of course, disappointed from the opposite approach being chosen. They could, however, enjoy a fine view of the castle, which is now apparently quite finished, and presents a very [ noble and—thanks to our famous granite—beau tifully clean appearance. There is still some building going on about the outhouses, of which there is quite a colony, but it is difficult to conceive how anything further can be done in the way of pleasure walk and lawn adornment, so charmingly are the grounds around the palace and along the river laid out. The fine new bridge erected over the Dee as a private entrance to the castle, and across which it was expec t e d h er M a j es ty wou ld drie, is now completed, and has an excellent effect from the turnpike. It is constructed after designs by Mr. Brunel, on the principle of the tubular bridge at the Menai Straits ; has a span of 165 feet, and contains somewhere nearly 90 tons of iron. It has been built at the sole expense of the Prince Consort. About the first thought of the traveller when he arrived at the romantic Highland capital, where these notes are written, is the natural one of where he is to find bed and board combined—the well known probability being, that as gathering time approaches every house and ha', butt and ben, is so completely pre-engaged and occupied, that though a board may be obtainable, a bed, seemingly, never. Some folks, however, are more fortunate than others, and as " a man should always ford the stream as he finds it," and have a kindly word and way with servants, if lucky in obtaining quarters, you fervently thank your stars on learning that your host has been under the necessity of "letting out" lodgers by the score for the past month, and, personally accommodated, look about to see what is doing—an early visit, in all likelihood, being made to the busy premises of Peter Geddes, who is s till the obliging postmaster h ere . Visitors strolling the - village shortly after seven this evening were quickened in their pace east wards by the sound of pipes and drums coming up by the way of the old Castle of Braemar. Soon a numerous body of men, clad in the Highland garb, were seen approaching in marching order—mar shalled by a gallant gentleman on horseback. It was Sir Charles Forbes, of Newe, with the Strath don and Craigieva r men, who had come over the hills on their way to join the D u ff Hi g hl an d ers , a t Mar-lodge, preparatory to the gathering of Friday. The men, numbering in all from 120 to 130, were armed with pikes, and being stately-looking fel lows, presented a fine military appearance. They were commanded by Sir Charles Forbes ; Sir Win. 93d Highlanders ; Messrs. Forbes; Colonel Evart , Charles and Reginald Radcliffe ; Mr. Chas. Leith Hay ; Mr. Mackenzie ; Mr. Gordon Forbes ; Mr. Charles Forbes, yr. of Newe ; and Mr. George Forbes, of Aslown. They reached Mar Lodge (hitherto known as Corriemulzie Cottage) about eight o'clock, where they were received with ring ing cheers by some 50 of the Duff men, who had assembled to give them welcome. As it is principally in connection with the gathering that the several clans have been spoken of, it is only necessary to say further, in the mean time, that the whole body proceeded to a field in THE QUEEN IN SCOTLAND• (From the Special Correspondent of the Aberdeen Herald.) WEDNESDAY NWiIT. Once again the Queen is `quietly located among her huMble Highland subjects at Balmoral. The Royal party reached the Castle shortly after six o'clock this evening. Particulars of her Majesty's departure from Lon don on Monday morning, her interesting visit to Leeds, reception at Edinburgh on Tuesday evening, and journey 'northwards next forenoon, will be found elsewhere ; we therefore here take the Royal , party up at our own doors, anti give some running remarks on the progress along Deeside ; and the narrative needs be - Very brief. The same ground has happily been so often over, and the - Royal re ception is (in accordance with the known wishes of her Majesty), so unostentatious and unobtrusive, that, While always interesting, the journey is now necessarily void of any fresh features requiring special attention in the way of public record. The Queen arrived at the Ferryhill Junction at 1.52 p.m. To this point her Majesty was accom panied by the following directors, &c., of the Scottish North-Eastern Railway :—Mr. Stirling, of Kippen davie ; Mr. Watson, Keillor ; Mr. Miller and Mr. Birnie, directors ; and Mr. Reith, general manager. The Royal party consisted of her Majesty the Queen, the Prince Consort, the Princesses Alice, Helena, and Louisa, and Prince Arthur and suite. Besides the Lord Provost, magistrates, members of the Town Council, and a guard of honour of the 72d and 74th Regiments, under Lieut.-Col. Gordon, commanding.the Highland Depot Battalion here, there was a great number of spectators present. The reception was hearty and loyal. After a stoppage of a few minutes at Ferryhill, the train with its Royal occupants started for Banchory, accompanied by the following gentlemen connected with the Decside Railway :—Mr. Duncan, chair man; Bailie Henderson, Mr. Smith of Glenn - Lilian, Mr. A. B. Whyte, and Mr. Kinloch of Park, direc tors, and Mr. Ferguson, secretary. The train was drawn by one of the Deeside en gines, handsomely decorated with wreaths of ever greens and flowers, and driven by Mr. Dean, loco motive superintendent of the company. The chil dren of the 'Aberdeen Industrial Schools, who were within the enclosure, sang the Queen's Anthem. No stoppage took place between Ferryhill and Banchory, but at the stations of Cults, Murtle, Culter, Park, &c., numbers of ladies and gentlemen con nected with the various districts had assembled and greeted the Queen as she passed. At Banchory station, under the superintendence of Mr. Middle ton, the usual spirit and good taste, in the way of decoration, &c., were displayed. Mr. Middleton had the front of his station very attractively ornamented with heather, evergreens, and flowers, while gal leries were erected outside the station to accommo date a pretty numerous company. Here the Earl of Kintore, Lord-Lieutenant of Kincardine, Sheriff Bell, and Mr. P. Davidson, de puty-chairman of the Deeside Railway, were in waiting to receive her Majesty, whose reception by the spectators was very enthusiastic. Among those present we observed Sir James - and Lady Burnett and Miss Burnett ; Mr. Davidson and Miss David son, of Inchmarlo ; Mr. Innes, of ltaemoir ; Mr. and Mrs. Davidson, of Desswood ; Mr. and Mrs. Kin loch ; Mrs. Maxwell, of Orchardtown; Mr. Innes, of Cowie ; Colonel Ramsay, of Banchory-lodge ; Mr. and Mrs. Forbes Gordon, of Rayne ; Mr. S. H. Irvine ; Airs. Maitland, Gilston Castle ; Rev. Mr. Reid, Banchory ; Dr. Adams, Banchory ; Mr. G. Allan, advocate, &c. On alighting fromtheir carriages the Royal party proceeded to the Banchory station refreshment rooms, which, under the skilful hands of Messrs. Baird, Hay, and Lyell, had been speedily converted into an exceedingly handsome suite of dining apart ments. Having partaken of luncheon, elegantly served by Mr. Scorgie, her Majesty and the Royal cortege, after a stay of about 20 minutes, entered their travelling carriages and (preceded by Mr. Robertson, of the Royal Hotel, Aberdeen, who, with the Messrs. Cook, had the posting to Aboyne), amid the cheers of the crowd, resumed their journey. Immediately after passing through the lively and, for the occasion, colour-bedecked village of St. Ter nan—where you would think the sun seldom set, everything and everybody seem always so " shiny like" and bright when anything particular is a-going —the Royal and other travellers came upon a sub stantial proof that the extension of the Deeside Railway is making satisfactory progress towards Aboyne. On the right of the turnpike you see a very considerable elevation of " way," at the fur ther end of which the line, by a cutting, takes a sweep across country. If you chance to sit beside a conversationable coachman, and his team be going along sweetly, you may learn that the con tractors for the line, Messrs. Mitchell and Ireland, have some 200 men employed on the -works, but that proceedings have been more than once inter rupted by strikes among the navvies, a circum stance to be regretted, since it interferes with the much desired completion of the undertaking. Mean while, however, matters are pushing along ear nestly, so that city folks may look hopefully for ward to an early visit to the classic ground' of Lumphanan. For here, it must be remembered, if all tales be true, and old Andrew Wyntoun's Chro nicle not a lie, is to be seen the identical cairn underneath which Macbeth has properly lon g rested quietly, having been at this spot slain in mortal combat after uttering the famous lines so popular in spouting clubs, " Come on, Macduff," &c., in the year of grace and trouble 1056. More than this, too, is to be found here—namely, the " Peel Ring," within whose enchanted circle cer tain dramatic witches, according to some people, danced previously to an interview with the much be-blackened monarch above-mentioned. But merrier doings shall be done in Lumphanan when the railway is made. Amateur elocutionists, with sweet cousins, shall pic-nic and recite in willing ears pleasanter tales than those of old over this same historical cairn ; while within the witches' circle bands of blythe little ones relieved from school shall trip it gaily to their own cherry refrain of " Jin-go-ring," But let us after Royalty. From Banchory to Aboyne the journey was rapid and unmarked by any incident of particular note. Of course, Mr. Barclay, of the Kincardine Inn, and his neigh bours turned out and gave respectful welcome to the cortege, and there was no want of other gra tifying marks of recognition in the shape of colours, streamers, &c., from mansion -house, tree top, and farm steading. Here and there, too, the flag of Prussia got an elevated place in kindly and thought ful remembrance of one whose pleasant smile is this year missing among the Royal family. At Aboyne her Majesty stopped in front of Mr. Cook's hotel, and horses were changed. Here a number of spec tators were assembled, whose welcome was gra ciously acknowledged by the Queen and Prince Consort. A body of the rural constabulary and Mr. Barnes, the lately appointed superintendent, were in attendence. After a short stay the Royal party drove off again, and soon enjoyed most agreeable and timely evidence of the great and successful exertions made since last year by the road trustees to give not only her Majesty but all other lawful travellers the chief mewls of making a comfortable journey—a- good EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1858. front of the lodge, where tents had been pitched, fires lighted, and preparations made for passing the night. When assembled in the field lusty cheers were given in honour of Lord Fife, the Countess of Fife, and other members of the family ; also to Sir Charles Forbes, Sir William Forbes, and other respected naives. At this moment the scene was very picturesque and exciting. - It was now quite dark—the only light thrown on the belted and buckled assemblage in the valley being that thrown from a huge bon fire which blazed and crackled in the centre of the camp ground ; while in the distance you could just see the grim outline of Cairn o'Drochell, Craignieh, and the other hills which surround this magnificent Strath. From the various points might be heard the pipes of M‘Lellan, Campbell, and Means, sounding blithely and bonnily. By and by silence stole over the camp, the music ceased, and the fire, which in its fierceness had hitherto defied eager smokers to snatch a needful spark, began to burn low and dim. The night was, as the day had been, beautiful ; and so quiet became everything around that von could catch the sough of the Dee as it sailed seawards, or the tinkling of the water at the fairylike fall of Corriemulzie. FRIDAY MORNING. Yesterday was, on the whole, rather unfavour able for the gathering preparations. There were frequent and heavy showers, and the wind blew roughly and sharp. Notwithstanding this, how ever, the Duff men, under Sergeant Coghill, and the Forbes men, under Sir Charles and the officers abovenamed, went through regular drill on the camp ground with much ardour and precision. There were also, at intervals, friendly contests among the throwers, dancers, and jumpers, by way of getting the sinews competition and o joints this o n tfso forenoon. e nt o order no on for With h t he approaching theexception of noting that the harvest is by no means so forward up here as it is anywhere below Ballater, and the report from the forests that Lord Fife and the company at the lodge never enjoyed such sport as he has experienced , during the past fortnight, there is nothing further of yesterday's proceedings requiring comment. The few minutes yet to spare ere coach time may, therefore, be devoted to the brief mention of a grand ball given last night by the Countess of Fife in a splendidly decorated marquee fitted up in connexion with the lodge. The company wa; very numerous, and included Mr. and Lady Margaret Beaumont the llon. General and Miss Gore ; the Bishop of Aberdeen and Miss Suther ; the Hon. Thomas Stoner ; General and Lady Maxwell Wallace ; Mr. H. Erskine Wemyss, of Wemyss Castle ; Colonel and Mrs. Dalrymple ; Mr. and Lady Louisa Brooke ; the Hon. Lady Duff; Hon. G. S. Duff ; Captain St. George and officers of her Majesty's guard at Ballater ; Captain Dawes, Adjutant of the Royal Aberdeenshire Highlanders ; the Countess of Kin noul ; Mrs. and Misses Farquharson, of Invercauld ; and Captain Farquharson, Scots Fusileer Guards ; Sir Charles Forbes, and officers of the Forbes camp encamped at Mar Lodge ; Sir William and Lady Forbes, of Craigievar ; Hon. Major and Mrs. Murray ; Mr. and Mrs. Butler, of Faskally ; Miss Ricardo ; Mr. Jervis ; Mr. and Mrs. H. Hogarth ; Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Westhall ; Mr. W. Kennedy Erskine ; Dr. Cameron ; Mr. Williams ; Mr. Ram say ; Mr. M‘Lagan, &c. The Duff and Forbes Highlanders, with an attractive number of fair partners, were also present. What with the rich dresses and uniforms of the ladies and gentlemen whose names are given, the commingling of the various tartans, in which many of both sexes were clad, and tasteful festoons and floral arches that hung from and waved across the roof of the marquee, the coloured light cast over all by the hundreds of variegated lamps around and above, the ball-room, shortly after 10 o'clock, pre sented one of the gayest and most animated„seenr it-is possible to conceive ; and while, no doubt, ti " combination of talent" lent aid in designing the decorations, the principal credit is allowed to be due to Mr. Macdonald, of his Lordship's house hold. Dancing was continued with great heartiness till day dawn, Mr. Hunter, front Aberdeen, with Mr. Cheyne and other efficient assistants, relieved at intervals by the Messrs. M'Lenan, Meares, and Campbell, with their pipes, supplying excellent music. Tea, supper, and refreshments were dealt out with willing hand during the night, rich and poor sharing alike in the liberality of the Countess. The morning is not very cheering ; but if wishes have weight Queen's weather and the Queen her self will grace the gathering of to-day. THE QUEEN AND THE CANADIANS, On Saturday evening Sir Edward B. Lytton, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, addressed an official communication to Mr. Norris, embodying the answer of her Majesty to the petition, of which he was recently the bearer to this country, from citizens of Toronto and inhabitants of Canada. It will be recollected that the petition in question stated that a Crystal Palace similar in design, but of smaller dimensions to those of London and Paris, for the exhibition of the products of Cana dian industry and skill, is in the course of erection in Toronto, and will be completed about the Ist of October; and the memorialists, remembering that her Majesty had been pleased to honour the inau guration of similar undertakings in this country and elsewhere with her presence, prayed that she would confer a mark of favour on her loyal sub jects in Canada, by giving authority to the - - Prince of Wales, or some other member of the - - ~G~- ~'- z- -c=~ j!~ ~~'~-C..p - ~ ~// .s' EVIT SPAPI:R • _ , , • ate C/itec•n'e. tonego have- isf_lo l o • regi4l-4 - changes been effected i n strict , -ttitb.. the iZ comprehensive spirit of its char* 1 ,1) 440;iiiforAtiii I our council have witnessed Rikl don - the passing of the new Meth which cannot fail greatly to st eng th ,:"3 -n die foundations of medical science. This result may not be immediately apparent, but it is none the less cer tain. Every measure tending to encourage learning must .eventually powerfully enhance the position of medical men in the social scale. Your oouncil will as heretofore labour unceasingly for so desirable a consummation." The Warden will deliver his inaugural address on the 4th of October, when the honorary prvemia will be conferred on the students. -THE WRECW OF THE SHIP _MAI:QUEEN. Royal family, to proceed to Toronto and repre sent her at the opening of the Crystal Palace there. This document was signed by upwards of 180 of the chief citizens of Toronto and inhabitants of other parts of Canada, including, among others, Sir Alan M'Nab, the Hon. N. T. Belleau, the Speaker, and 25 members of the Legislative Council, the Hon. Henry Smith, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, Mr. Brown, the recent Premier, Mr. Macdonald, the present head of the Government, and a large number of men of all parties in that branch of the Legislature ; Chancellor Blake and eight other of the judges, both the Protestant and Roman Catholic Bishops of Toronto, the Mayor and corporation of that city, the Mayor and town• council of Hamilton, the President of the Board of Trade, and several of the military authorities high in command. The idea of inviting a member of the royal family to Canada, to grace the opening of the Crystal Palace, appears to have originated with Mr. Norris himself, a private citizen, but it speedily became so popular among the citizens that, although only some ten days were spent in putting it in execution, the most influential of them endorsed and sanctioned it to the extent just described. It was then far on in August, the Crystal Palace was to be opened early in October, and it was evident that no time was to be lost in transmitting the petition to this country if the object in view was to have a chance of success. The proper course in such cases is to transmit such a document through the Governor of the colony, but: Mr. Norris was unlearned in the ordinary usage ou such occasions, and, without intending .any disrespect to Sir Edmund Head, he brought the petition to England himself, instead of sending it through his Excellency's hands. This circum stance, it seems, has rather detracted from the character and effect of Mr. Norris's mission ; but still the memorial bore upon the face of it such strong evidence of the extent and spontaneity of the popular feeling in Canada on the subject to which it related that its promoters might perhaps be excused for overlooking some necessary for mality, and the Colonial Secretary himself has so regarded it. Sir. Bulwer Lytton, in the letter he has just addressed to Mr. Norris, is understood to have stated, after a passing reference to the departure from the ordinary custom, in not transmitting the petition through the Governor At the annual meeting of the governors and friends of Queen's College, recently held, the Rev. Chancellor Law (the vice principal) in the chair, the report of the council for the past year was read, and from it we make the following extracts : " The aggregate number of students registered as studying at Queen's College within the period comprised between the Ist of October, 1857, and the present date is greater than in any former year. " MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.—This department has in every respect fully supported its character during the past session. Your council have great reason to be satisfied with the reports made to them by the professors and tutors of the general good con duct` and regularity of the students. The chaplain's. register shows that the daily attendance at Divine service has been good, and the attendance of the students, both senior and junior, at the theological lectures, quite satisfactory. At the close of every term a written examination has been held, at which the students of the respective classes have been re quired to attend. "ARTS DEP,ARTMENT.—The senior tutor and chaplain reports lam glad to notice that the two students who were under my care while pre paring for the London University examinations, Greig and Fox, recently passed the matriculation examination of the first division. Two other students have also passed the Apothecaries' Hall preliminary examination creditably.' THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.—The engi neering class, while it affords the most ample means for securing a first-rate education for persons in tending to follow the professions of civil and me chanical engineering, with a degree which the college, under its charter, has power to confer, by the above rule, Will also afford such a part of the whole as may be sufficient for those who do not intend to follow those professions, but to whom, as manufacturers, such part so obtained will be of the greatest value. "LAW DEPARTMENT.—The number of students the first term was 13, and the second and third 14! Of this number one gentleman is keeping his terms, preparatory to a call to the bar ; another is read ing for a degree in laws at the London University ; and 11 are articled to solicitors. Considering that the attendance on law lectures is not at present made a ne cessary condition to examinationby the Incorporated Law Society, and that much prejudice on this sub lect has yet to be overcome, the number of students is encouraging, and the professor reports favour. ably of their regular attendance and attention. It is hoped, however, that next year the Birmingham Law Society will appoint examiners to conduct terminal examinations, and that the college will be thus enabled to distinguish its meritorious students in this as in other departments. " THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT. —The professor of theology reports During the academical year lately closed there has been an average of rather more than 21 students in attendance on his lecture, the average for the previous year being 15, and for the year 1856 eleven. In the past year eight stu dents have gained the certificate, most of whom expect ordination in September next. Three stu dents also have been accepted by bishops as candi dates for holy orders without any certificate. The mass of evidence recently collected by the select committee of the House of Lords has brought into more distinct notice the existence of an appalling amount of spiritual destitution in this land, and has directed anxious. attention - towards the best means of providing for it. In that evidence it ap pears again and again that there is the most urgent necessity for a large and speedy increase in the number of the clergy. It is thought by many ex perienced persons that in a manufacturing or mining population a body of clergy drawn less exclusively than at present from the upper and wealthier classes, would, and as far as it has lice.' tried does, succeed in many departments of paro chial work as well or better than those who have been more highly educated, and who are more re moved from their flocks in habits and ideas. There is evidence to Show that such men penetrate into quarters which are practically closed against their superiors, that their ministrations are more frankly received by many amongst the working classes, and that their manner of teaching is more intelli gible and persuasive to them. There can be no doubt that the prevalence of Romanism and dissent amongst the masses of our people is greatly due to the fact that these denominations draw their ministers more largely from the lower ranks of so ciety than does the Established Church. While the professor by no means desires to intimate that his de partment draws, or seems likely to draw, its students chiefly from classes of society lower than those from which the ranks of the clergy are usually . recruited (the fact being that several graduates of different universities have from time to time entered, that several of the students are often men of means and position, and others the sons of bene ficed clergymen whose circumstances render it expedient to avoid the expense of an education at Oxford or Cambridge), still he may be permitted to point out that the arrangements of his department are well adapted to meet such a state of things.' " CHEMISTRY.—It is sincerely hoped Professor Bond will spare no endeavour to keep pace with the progress made in the various departments of chemical philosophy, but more particularly . in those directly bearing upon the study of medicine. " GEOLOGY.—The invaluable services of D. T. Ansted, Esq., have been secured as professor of geology—a gentleman who enjoys a European reputation, and whose appointment cannot but give a most important impulse t o the study of geology, a branch of knowledge a t the present ally so indispensable in this great mining district, d_ at the same time give additional strength to y our .s institution, by adding one to the list of .: tinguished men now associat ed under your ad rec tion for the cultivation of science in all its depart ments in the midland metropolis. " AGRICULTURE. —It is co nfidently hoped that in the recently established agricultural chair Mr. Tanner will succeed in imparting valuable instruc tion in a branch of human knowledge essential to the happiness and prosperity of the nation. " ARCHITECTURE. —Upon the recommendation of the Architectural Society of Birmingham, Mr. Chamberlain has been appointed to the vacant chair. The council relies on Professor Chamber lain's exertions ; but, however enlightened and strenuous these may be, the co-operation of the Society of Architects will continue indispensable. "THE WARDEN.—The Rev. J. G. Cumming has been appointed Resident Warden on the :—H follow ing grounds is experience of 20 years in tuition and the management of students, more espe cially as Vice Principal of King William's College, Isle of Man, the unvaried approbation of those with whom he has been connected in two large educational institutions, a constant engagement in clerical duties, and in scientific and literary pur suits. It is firmly believed that Mr. Cumming will be powerfully instrumental in working out the scientific details of your institution, no less than providing a comfortable home wherein the students may pursue their studies with pleasure and profit, with greater advantages than young men can com mand who live without the precincts of the college. It ought specially to be mentioned that the Warden and the Professor of Pastoral Theology, in order to relieve the college from its financial difficulties, have most generously devoted a considerable amount of the Warneford endowments towards its support. " THE PRINCIPAL.—The earnest and untiring devotion of time and talent by Mr. Sands Cox, during the last 30 years to the interests and ad vancement of the college are so well known to all connected with it that the highest position and honour which it is in the power of your council to confer will be deemed only a small acknowledg ment of his eminent services. Your council enter tain the most fervent hope that, under his prin cipalship, the college will (with the Divine blessing) greatly prosper, and become not only a seat of sound learning and religious education, but, what it has always been his earnest en deavour and high ambition it should bemme, the Queen's University for the Midland Counties. " From the facts embodied in this report it may be inferred that at no period since the foundation of The ship Sir John Moore, Captain Robertscin, from Antwerp, whiCh arrived in the harbour of erlasgow - on Friday last, had on board the ship wrecked crew ;aid passengers of the May Queen cf 87. - 0 h, in th e State of Maine. It seems that the Queen was from Gottenburg Sweden, bound for Boston, w as l oa d e d w i th b ar i ron, an d carried, besides a crew of 16, 33 steerage, and 4 cabin pas sengers, the latter includili , r a lady and her family. About 10 o'clock on the morning of the 4th inst., during the prevalence of a strong gale blowing S.W. by S., the May Queen (as it proved to be) was observed running towards the Sir John Moore with ensign half-mast, and when spoken was found to be in -a very leaky condition. They were then 3 deg. west of the Shetland Islands, and the May Queen had been out about six days. A desire was expressed that the Sir John Moore should keep • • company with her, as if the leak increased she would have to be abandoned. This was agreed to, and, accordingly, having filled her sails, the Sir John Moore proceeded on her course, with the May Queen following in her wake, till about half past twelve o'clock, when the latter was seen to hoist her ensign, union down. On coming up those in the May Queen said they would abandon her if taken on board of the Sir John Moore, on which the latter hove to, and. gotnut two boats, by which the : passengers, with the most valuable part of their • higgage, were transferred from the one ti e suit to .the . other. They were, however, nearly destitute of and cooking utensils, and most of their clothing was wet: The crew, with their clothing, were next taken on board, and the captain and mate followed in the last boat about seven p.m. Two of the ship's boats were then hoisted in, and the Si John Moore again kept on her course, leaving the May Queen to her fate. When they left her she had five feet water in her hold. On reaching Glasgow applica tion was made to the American and Swedish con- suls. The former took charge of the lady and her family who were in the cabin, and also sent the crew of the May Queen to the Sailors' Home ; but the latter consul, it appears, had not authority to grant the necessary assistance to the steerage pas sengers, and arrangements were therefore made on Saturday for their temporary accommodation at Govan poorhouse, where they now are. Mr. M'Culloch, governor of the poorhouse, exerted him self in a praiseworthy manner on behalf of the suffering emigrants, and, assisted by Mr. G. Wilson —a gentleman who has been in Sweden, and who acted ably and fluently as interpreter—made in quiry into the several cases of the parties. In conversing with them they seemed averse to re turning again to their own country-, but expressed a strong desire to proceed to America, where many of them have friends. They are very intelligent, and appear to belong to the better class of trades people. By this disaster they have been deprived of nearly all the means necessary for conveying them to their contemplated destination, and their case is well deserving the sympathy of the public. Since the foregoing was written the following re port of the master of the May Queen, Mr. It. G. Stan wood, has been published :—On the 27th of August, 1858, my ship being ready for sea and lying off the Castle in Gottenburg river, employed a steamboat and towed to sca. 29th August—being then clear of the land, and in the North Sea, wind south, shaped my course for the North passage. Every thing went .on well until Sept. 2, when I encoun tered a tremendous gale from the S.S.W., with a fearful sea breaking on board in every direction. I tried to ease the ship in every possible way, but she laboured so hard it seemed impossible to outlive the storm. M y position at this time was about 7 5 miles N.W. of Orkney Islands. At 10 p.m. sounded the pumps, and found two feet of water in the well ; ordered both pumps to work ; found she leaked about 700 strokes per hour. At 12 midnight the ship was struck aback by one of the heavest squalls I ever experienced, being at the time under close reefed fore and mixen topsails and double-reefed maintopsail, heading up W.S.W., wind south, when I found she had sprung a fresh leak, and was mak ing 1,500 strokes per hour. Sept. 3—Leak continued; weather more moderate ; made some sail to steady the ship ; passengers and erew-workina continuously at the pumps. Sept. 4, 8 a.m. — round the leak increas ing ; crew nearly exhausted. 9 a.m.—Observed a sail under our lea. I consulted with the officers and crew what was best to be done ; we concluded to run down for the strange sail, which proved to be the English ship Sir John Moore, Captain Charles Robertson, bound for Glasgow. On making known our condition he agreed to keep company, we hoping the wind might change, instead of which it increased from S.W. 12 noon—Leak increas ing ; held a consultation, and concluded to abandon the ship. I then hoisted a signal of distress, when the Sir John Moore hove to for our relief. At 2 p.m. got out our boats, and commenced transporting the passengers ; at 6 p.m. I was ready to leave the ship in the last boat, when I sounded the pumps, and found that the leak had gained about five feet in five hours, and the vessel appeared very loggy in the water. I then left her in lat. 60 30 N. long. 55 W. I shall always remember Capt. Robertson with the warmest gratitude, for saving us from a watery grave. Through the in strumentality of God he came to our relief ; and his attention to our wants, while on board of his ship, deserves the greatest credit."—North British Mail. DR. LIVINGSTONE'S STEAM LAUNCH ON MK RIVER ZAMBESI.— We have been favoured with the , fel lowing interesting letter from Dr. Livingstone, the distin guished African explorer. Our readers will be glad to see that the pretty little steel launch, built by Mr. Laird, and taken out by Dr. Livingstone in compartments, comfort ably stowed away on board the Pearl, is s atisfactorily doing , her part in the great enterprise :—" Marobert, Zambesi June 21, 1858. My dear Sir, —As y ou will no doubt foel anxious to hear how we get on with th a e ie launch, a I atu happy to be able to inform you that we e wh_ has (p r operly r Luave) on the .15th of been called West Luaho May, and, finding a fine safe ha bour, we p . _ _eded at fro bert onc m e ttohetakpeeaorint tihehathrhie:tcodanyipyreshimntscoiefntthfeosrlgareottiiv her into the water and putting her together, by the admir able and simple contrivance your son invented. We had only to stand on a compartment in sufficient numbers to sink it down , and, drawing it to the middle ine. tion, the bolts slipped in with the greatest ease. On the evening of the third day she was ready to act as pilot to the larger vessel, and hasbeen doing admirable service ever since. She goes puffing away on this great Zambesi now, to the infinite disgust of the hippopotami, whole herds of which rush off pell-mell as soon as we approach them, and the crustiest old bachelor among them dares not do her battle. It would be an immense boon if Government would send out such vessels to run up creeks and rivers, and chase slavers, instead of taking it out of the poor sailors' muscles at the oar, but you would require to make them broader than this, and not quite so long ; the length might be borne with if they were four or five feet broader, and no objection would be taken to this, as the men-of-war could carry them with ease between masts. Allow me also to suggest, as an improvement, two plates near the bottom of each compartment, with plugs which, when the compartments were put together, might be taken out, and bolts insertel. I mention this because our after compartment shows some symptoms of the bottom bolts, or dowels becoming loose. I venture, also, to suggest the greater width, as we can't carry luggage at present, and four feet additional width, with, perhaps, a little.: more power, would make her perfect. She has done exceedingly well, and tows a large launch better than we expected. Now, as I am done with criticism, which you may think sufficiently presumptuous, I beg to be most kindly remem bered to Mrs. Laird and all your family. pAvin LIVING , STONE.
