The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from 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. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short; every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

V. --- BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE AD VANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. BELFAST, SEPT. I.—On the morning of Septem ber 27, 1831, the theatre of the Yorkshire Museum was filled by an assemblage of more than 300 persons, including many distinguished members of learned and scientific bodies in different parts of the kingdom, who were collected together in consequence of a general invitation to the friends of science, issued by the Yorkshire Philosophical Society. Lord Milton, the president of the society, was called to the chair, and in his address to the meeting gave the details of the working of the Yorkshire Society, which had then been established for eight years, and had origi nated in the interest taken in the curious discoveries in Kirkdale. So much benefit had had resulted from the free interchange of knowledge due to fixed general meetings of those interested in the same objects, that the society felt the time had arrived to lay their scheme for a wider basis before the various scientific bodies of the kingdom, and to claim their aid in the formation of a society whose area and whose objects should not be confined by the limits of a single county. The President was fol lowed by the Reverend W. Vernon Harcourt, Vice- President and Chairman of the Committee of management, who stated that the object of the pro posed society was "to give a stronger impetus and more syeteinetic direction to scientific inquiry; to ob tain a greater degree of national attention to the ob jects of science, and a removal of those disadvan tages which impede its progress; and also to promote the intercourse of the cultivators of science with one another, and with foreign philosophers." Thus origi nated the Association- for the Advancement of Science, whose 22d annual meeting is about to be held in this city during the week commencing with the 13t of September. The past meetings have, by judicious regulation of the society, been held at various important places threughout the country; with a view to make known its existence and objms, and to extend its operations as much as possible. Our great Universities have been both visited twice—Ox ford in 1832 and 1847, and Cambridge in 1833 and 1845 ; and the association has held meetings in the seaports of Liverpool, Bristol, and Plymouth, and in the manufacturing districts of Manchester, Birming ham, and Newcastle. In Scotland three of the annual meetings have taken place—at Edinburgh in 1834 and 1850, and at Glasgow in 1840. Ireland has already received the association twice—at Dublin in 1835, and at Cork in 1843. The ensuing meeting in this:city will be the third, and bids fair .to rival the preceding ones, both in numbers and in the importance of the communications to the different sections. In the list of annual presidents may be seen the names of some of the most eminent men of science, and also of no blemen who have distinguished themselves from their order by their love for and prosecution of scientific pursuits. Of these too rare instances, we have pleasure in giving the names of the Duke of North umberland, the Marquises of Lansdowne, North ampton, Burlington, and Breadalbane, the Earl of Rosse, Viscount Milton, and Lord Francis Egerton, now Earl of Ellesmere. The number of members, which at the York meeting in 1831 amounted to 353, has reached as many as 2,500 at the Newcastle meeting in 183 8— sinc e which time, owing princi pally to the meetings of other societies which have emanated feom this being held about the same time, the numbers have decreased, and are now consider ably influenced both by the locality and by the time of the year at which the meeting takes place. Not withstanding the important centres in which the association has met 11:1 successive years, the num ber of perso ns who have attended its meetings, and the favour with which it has been regarded b y the scientific world, it is evident that the public generally possess but a limited ac quaintance with its objects, and that thousands are daily enjoying the benefits resulti▪ ng from it, without even knowing the existence of the source from whence they are derived. If we take a short review of the past transactions of the association we shall find that s ome of the most important advances, both in the exact and natural sciences, have been made under the auspices, and frequently through the direct instru mentality, of the society. One of the first of its obe jects was to assist in the prosecution of scientific in quiry by the formation of committees, to which a cer tain sum of money was voted for the special object of their duties. In this way many thousand pounds have been disbursed, and many important questions solved, which probably, owing to their complex nature, and the time, care, and actual outlay involved, would not otherwise have been investigated. From the earliest meetings many distinguished foreigners have attended personally, and others have ably represented the science of their respective coun tries by the valuable papers they have con tributed to the objects of the association. Among these may be seen the names of Agassiz, Arago, Bunsen, De la Rive, Dove, Dumas, Milne, Edwards, Ehrenberg, Encki, Forchammer, Humboldt, Jacobi, Liebig, Matteucci, Nilssen, Orated, Quetelet, Rogers, Shumacker, Struve, Schonbein, and many others equally distinguished in their several departments, but whose names are less familiar to the public gene rally. At the Edinburgh meeting, in 1834, Professor S. D. Rogers, of the United States, contributed a valuable report on the geology of North America. In the same year Scott Russell communicated a no tice of the reduction of an anomalous fact in hydro namics, and of a new law of the resistance of fluids t o the motion of floating bodies. This led to th e organ i za tion of a special committee to investigate the form of ships, a report of which was read at the Ply mouth meeting in 1841. Public attention has been recen tly drawls to the " wave principle ; and proba bly, now that its advantages have been p ractic ally demonstrated by another country, we shall be more ready to carry out a principle, the theory of which is due to our own. Luke Howard gave some valuable data in reference to our climate, and Lord Fit z william ca lled attention to the import since of statistical reports regarding agricul ture,a i l which wa s confirmed by in of the the statistics of " suggestions in f by Porter, at the B a i ‘ r ,n m u i r n g nf h ani n agriculture." T his is a want which s now more than ever felt, but which can only be su pp lied b y the machinery of a G o vernment. At the next meeting as ;s e te e n t e iß at g ic in collection l 8 another illustrious foreigner (Agassiz) made known his views on the principles of classification of the animal kingdom. A t the Bristol meeting, in 1836, Eaton Hodgkinson published hi▪ s experiments on the relative strength and other mechanical properties of cast-iron obtained by hot and cold blast, by which it was shown that the hot blast was produced at a far less cost, and yet, for general purposes, was not in ferior to the cold blast; indeed, the average results of the trials give a superiority of the hot blast over the cold blast in the proportion of 1,024 to 1,000. The statistics of the iron trade speedi▪ ly showed the effect of this discovery. The meeting at Newcastle was re markable, not less for the number's that attended it than for the nature and importance of the subjects brought before it. Among these we may notice the magnetic survey of Great Britain, compiled by Colonel Sabine, who, still following up the object of his researches, has at the ensuing meeting some very remarkable pheno mena, probably intimately connected with magnetism, to make known to the scientific world. The first report by Mallet on the instance of water ' either fresh or salt, on both cast and wrought iron was also read; and Wheatstone, in demonstrating the principles of binocular vision, first told us of an in strument he had adapted for illustrating its pheno mena, to which he gave the name of " stereoscope," a nd with which we have only quite recently been made familiar. The use and advantages of wire ropesfor mining purposes was a dvocated by Count Breun ner, and Ehrenberg made known to us some of his beautiful and interesting microscopic discoveries. At the ninth meeting the zoology of , our country was importantly advanced by Owens first rep or t on B r itish reptiles, and by a communication from Ede ward Forbes " on the distribution of pulmoni serous molluscs in the British isles," who subsequently, un der the auspices of the association, undertook the i n . vestigation of British marine zoology, and gave the first report of his valuable researches at the Sw ansea me eting in 1848. Grove's voltaic battery was fir s t made known at this m eetin g ; while communications of a more directly practical tend . ency were made by Fox Talbot, on photographic processes Gossage, on the disc (a rotatory) engi ne ; and by Eaton Hodgkinson, on experiment a l researches into the crushing . points o f dif ferent woods. The tenth meeting was held at Glasgow, at which some statistical papers created much interest, and tended greatly to establish th at d e p ar t me nt as a distinct br anch of political science. The papers generally had reference to local subje c t s , and Dr. Chalmers, in a communicati▪ on, explained the application of statistics to moral and econ om i c. science. The first reports on the fari▪ na of Irel an d , by the late W. Thompson ( of this city), and of the committee appointed to experiment on the growth and vitality of seeds, both unde rtaken at the instan ce of the ass o ciation, was read. Murchison and D e Verneuil gave us much valuable information respect ing the geological formation of Lorth and Central Russia; while Agassiz and James Forbes, by their respective communications, added greatly to our knowledge of the glaciers and boulders of Switzer land. The following year produced an important paper by Professors W. and H. W.

The celebrated singer , Madame Marietta Alb on w hose beautiful voice has no rival in the world, wi- . re turn very soon to Ne w York. She intends to give several concerts at the Metropolitan Hall in the begin ning of September, and we doubt not that her triumph will be as great as it was in all the principal European cities. Her succsss in the two performances which took place, a month ago, is a sure guarantee of the enthusias tic applause with which she will bo received on her second appearance in our city. Miss Emma Fitzpatrick, of Drary-lane, " the belle of the British stage," and the only actress acknowledged in Mngland as the representative of the gay and dashing high comedy parts, late the rival, and now the successor, in that department of the drama, of the retired Mrs. Nisbett (Lady Beothby), is announced in the English papers to be a passenger in the Atlantic, which sailed from Liverpool on the 11th. It is said she will make her &hilt at Niblo's, on the 30th inst., as Letitia Hardy, in the Belle's Stratagem. Mdlle. de Melis,e, of the Grand Opera, Paris, a danseuse who is said to combine great artistic merit with extraordinary personal charms, is hourly expected by the Franklin, from Havre. She is engaged for Niblo's. Sir William Don and one of the French billet troupe, says the Memphis Erpress, were arrested on Thursday evening, after the performances at the Melodeon had closed, by Sheriff Wiggins, on the charge of fraudu lently obtaining passage for that troupe on a Mississippi stesreer, between New Orleans end Cincinnati. Oa the occasion of Miss Julia Bennett's benefit on Friday evening, at Detroit, Engine Company No. 4 attended the theatre in uniform, and greeted her per formance of Lady Gay Spanker, in the comedy of London Assurance, with quite a shower of elegant bouquets. Jullien and his great band will probably visit America in the autumn of 1853—has signed a contract to that effect, and cannot before. The next grand move on the chess-board of coming events, is the representation of Italian opera in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, in the same perfect Istyle, in every particular, and by the same artists. singers, ballet, orchestra, chorus, costume, as in Paris and London, for 60 or 80 nights subscriptions. Balfe is likely to be the conductor, or else Benedict, and probably Lumley will he the director. Janass Anderson, the tragedian, will, most likely, visit the Unitel Stites again, for a term, to commence about November; his engagements up to that time prevents his sailing earlier. --N eu7 York Herald ----. CHANGE or CoLoun Is Fisu.—The change of colour in fish is very remarkable, and takes place with great rapidity. Put a living black burn trout into a white basin of water, and it becomes, within half an hour, of a light colour. Keep the fish living in a white jar for some days, and it becomes absolutely white; but put it into a dark coloured or black vessel, and although on first being placed there the white-coloured fish shows most conspicuously on the black ground, in a quarter of an hour it becomes as dark-coloured as the bottom o f the jar, and consequently difficult to be seen. No doubt, this facility of adapting its colour to the bottom of the water in which it lives, is of the greatest service to the fish in protecting it from its numerous enemies. All anglers must have observed that in every stream the trout are very much of the same colour as the gravel or sand on which they live; whether this change oot. f colour ; is a voluntary or involu ntar y act on the part the fish, I leave it for the scientific to determine.— Sporting i n S ut h er l ands hi re .

P. B. B ro di e ma de known to us the discovery of in sec t rema i ns i n th e l o wer beds of the Has, evidence of th e i r h av i ng ex i s ted at an epoch far anterior in geologicalticne to that which ou r observations had previously recop i e d. At the Cork meeting in 1843, t h e comm ittee ap pointed in 1840 to revise th e nomenc l a t u re of the stars made their report, and a va l ua bl e ca t a l o gue was subsequently undertaken and published at the expense of the association. Robert Hunt gave the result of his experiments on the influence of light on the vege table kingdom. Mr. Paxton described the applica tion of hydrodynamics to ornamental purposes in the great fountains at Chats worth ; and Lucas called at tention to the alteration that takes place in iron from continued vibration—the whole mass changing from a fibrous or granular to a crystalline texture, and thus becoming far more brittle, and liable to be affected by concussion. Ethnology and Ethnography were in troduced by Hodgkin and by R. G. Latham, who described some curious features of the Esquiwau x and of the Australian race and language, and who, at one of the subsequent meetings, co n tinued the sub ject in reference to the Chi nese and Indo-Chinese nations. At the fifteenth meeting Schiiabein made known to us the existence of ozone, a mysterious agent which appears to play a very important p art i n t h e econ omy of the entire organic kingdom. Bu nsen an d L yon Play fair gave a report on the glass e vo l ve d f rom i ron fur naces with reference to the the ory of smelting iron, by which it was shown that a saving might be effected co the extent of from fifty to eighty per cent. on the processes in ordinary use. Bouti gny astonished and delighted the assembled savans by hi s exper i m ental illustratioqs.. of his theory resp,ating the spheroidal statewpWiodies, and on tbe.facrr e ' vf water in red ho .a... s ; and Armsfretig a de Aa rlinowledge of sources of electricity by the e n te n a nnt i m of his powerful hydro-electric machine. Gutta percha, that curious condition of caout c h ouc w h ose uses and appliances are each day increasing in impor tance, was here made known to the public by Solly ; while Henslow rendered an equally important service to all connected with land by publishing his paper on the phosphatic nodules, apparently co prolitic, from the Red Crag. The Southampton meeting, in 1846, produced some valuable additions to our knowledge of applied science, among which were the communications by Percy on crystalline slags; by Schunk, on the colouring pri n ciples of madder ; and by Grove, on the decomposition of water by heat. Fauvelle explained to us his new method of boring for artesian wells, especially applicable to great depths; and Fairbairn and Hodgkinenn, respectively, gave their reports of experiments on the tubular bridge proposed by Stephenson for crossing the Menai Straits. The remarkable action of sulphur on caoutchouc, forming the substance called " vulcanizsd India rub ber," was described by Brockedon.; and the no less curious substance, gun cotton, was first exhibited at this meeting by Schonbein. The succeeding meetings have been too recently before us to call for any particular remarks more than that the several special committees have continued their reports upon the advances made in their respec tive subjects. Ethnology and philology have received ma considerable additions from the researche s o f L a th am , Bunsen, , while, of course, e hard, and littoedrsgkin occupied the at tention have important of the different sections. Such are a f ew o f the more prominent communications whi c h h ave di rectly aided in the development of th e sc i ent ifi c re sources of the country, and in the advancement of general civilization. Others of the highest value to different branches of science have been made, but in most cases their bearing is not sufficiently palpable to excite the interest of the general reader. On the Present occasion, invited to the centre of academic instruction and commercial industry in the north of Ireland, the association will assemble in a district full of natural beauty, rich in geological phenomena, and offering many attractions to the naturalist and facts of importance to statistics and ethnology. Among the numerous contributors to the transactions may be seen the names of many whose first connexion with the association is due to the visit to their respective localities ; they were thus induced to attend the meetings, the advantages of science and of habits of observation, even in minute matters, were clearly perceived, and the result has been that their names are now permanently inscribed on the pages of the association whose meeting they bad previously attended as casual tisitors. From the education and energy of the inhabitants of Belfast, we may fairly expect that the enoing meeting wilt add to their numbers. Never waVis time more aus picious. The result of our great industrial challenge in the past year must have dispelled in a great mea sure the false estimation we had placed upon our selves; it showed us clearly that isn points in which we thought ourselves strongest . other nations were progressing far more rapidly than we we re, and would speedily overtake us ; that human skil l and appliances were rapidly levelling the barrier s which .nature bad placed betwe en us; and t h a t in future the most important struggle between nations will be an industrial one—a struggle of intellect. We have lost much already by our careless ministration of the natural gifts intrusted to us ; the lesson we received laet year, at our asking, s h ould not b e unheeded by but the but should show us n o t only the a d v antages, the necessity, of giving our warm support to science and its various applications. The business of the Association was commenced this day by the meeting of t h e genera l co mmittee, 0 which was held in Queen's College at one P.m 2 at which the minutes of the last meeting at Ipswich were read and confirmed, the report of the proceedingstho the council during the Past year received, and e various arrangements for the ensuing meeting dis cussed and determined. Sir R. Murchison took t l e chair, as the representative of the Astronomer Roya ~ having been requested by him to explain the cause of his inability to attend, and render an account of his presidency in person. The assistant general secretary, Professor Phillips, F.R.S,, the n read the minutes of the last meeting, and the general secretary, Professor Forbes Royle, F.R.S., gave the details of the trans.acd-. tions of the council during the intermediate period. These transactions bad reference chiefly to th suc cessful applications for grants from the Government..t.on and East India Company to aid in the publication of scentific works by Drs.

The inaugural address of the President, Colonel Sabine, was delivered at the evening meeting, held tir o- te c oa k a t a °burets, in May-street. The ample area of the building was tolerably well filled, probably about 1,000 people being beneath its roof, the Lord- Lieutenant, the Rol of Eglintoun and his suite, with most of the leading men of the city and of the sur rounding di s t r i c ts joining in the proceed ings.atve capacity, took the chair, and in an eulog istic speech, based upon a quotation i T o h h e is rep meeting representative i opened by Sir ir R. Murchison, who, from a letter of the Astronomer Royal, relating to his successor, of whom he said, " the association is to be represented by one of its most faithful friends, who has efficiently conducted the real business of the body and whose public character so well befits the public elect to the meetin g . Colonel Sabine then read his representationvaooemet ,tof of s t o h i e en tr , i ! ish Association introduoe for dthee t r he esid A e d o ; address, which occupied about an hour and a half in delivery, and was well received by the assembly. He commenced by expressing his thanks for the honour the association had conferred upon him in electing him as their president, and then referred to the diffi culty he has felt in selecting matter for his remarks, from the variety of subjects coming directly within the scope of the association, it being quite impos sible to pay that attention to them all equally which their respective merits might demand. He had there fore been guided by a practical principle, suited to a body in which the presidency was an annual election ; viz , that he should notice by preference those subjects with which he was most familiar, in which the asso ciation, as a body, had taken part, or which were likely to be discussed at the meeting over which he was called to preside. The first point alluded to was the consideration as to whether the time had not ar tohfe Lord nebu 11.18305 s o e f were he ar rived for again urging u p on the Government the es tablishment of an ob servatory in the southern hemis pheretexaminationsotherfoorthe referred to as regards the northern hemisphere, and also in reference to hi s p lan for repolishing mirrors, which removes many o the long stood in the way of the proposed establishment. In speaking of the advisab ilit y of a renewed applica tion to Government, the P resident observed, that all heavens. The labours of applications from the association were entitled to re spect, inasmuch as they emanated not from an indivi dual but from an important body, and were the result of mature deliberation; and, therefore, when they had been resolved upon, it was important that public bodies should be true to their own convictions, and should steadily persevere in urging on all proper occasions, both publicly and privately, the measures which they believed would add to their country's honour, as well as to that general advancement of science by which all nations benefitted freely and alike in proportion to their degree of mental cultivation. Continuing the subject of astronomy the President referred to the tern establishments of Armagh and Markree, and the important publications now in progress of their laboure —viz., the Markree Catalogue of Eclip tic Stars, and the Results of the Observations at Armagh Observatory. A lengthened allusion was then made to the remarkable discovery by Professor Stokes of the change which, under certain circum stances, is effected in the refrangiblility of light. His researches took their origin from an unexplained phe nomenon, discovered by Herschel in 1845, who found that a solution of sulphate of quinine viewed by trans mitted light appeared quite colourless, but if viewed by reflected light exhibited a vivid blue colour, which was proved by him t o resu l t f rom t h e ac ti o n f the strata which the light first penetrates on entering the solu tion ; and the dispersion of light producing it he termed " Epipolic dispersion," from the circumstance that it takes place near the surface by which the light enters. In speculating upon the possible na ture of " epipo lized light," Professor Stokes was led to conclude that it could only be light which bad been deprived of certain invisible rays, which; in the procoss of disper sion, had changed their refrangibility, and had thereby become visible. The truth of this supposition, novel and surp r i s i ng as i t at fi rst a d peare d, h as been con firmed by a series of simple and decisive experiments, and Professor Stokes has likewise traced this prin ciple through a great range of analogous phenomena, par ticles and has d e fi ne d a c l ear di st i nc ti on b etween " cases of from fin false int e r na l di s p ers i on ," or " o p a l escence ," in which the lumi nous ra y s are s i m ply reflected held in mechanical solution in the medium, and those of " true internal dispersion," or " fluores cence," as he has termed it. The President next alluded to the importance of a revision of the equiva lent numbers of the elementary bodies, which he felt sure would be taken into consideration by the Che mical Section, over which such a distinguished chemist as Dr. Andrews presides. The important researches on heat by Professor J. Forbes, by Mr. Joule, and Mr. H o pki ns , we re noticed, which were constituting a groundwork for the ultimate formation of a mechanical . , theory of chemistry. The details of the part taken by the President himself in working out those important questions on terrestrial mag netism with which his name is so honourably con nected were given as briefly as possible consistent with the proper explanation of the subject, and the share which others took in the work. He then stated, that as regards the figure and dimensions of the globe, evidence exists that it was well known at a very ancient period, and that in modern times the merit of resuming the investigation is due to the French nation, by whom an arc of the meridian be tween Formentaria and Dunkirk was measured to wards the close of the last century. The Trigono metrical survey of Great Britain, commenced for the specific object of connecting the observatories of Greenwich and Paris, was speedily expanded into an undertaking of more scientific, as well as topographi cai importance, having on the one hand the formation of correct maps of Great Britain, and on the other the measurement of an arc of the meridian, having the extreme northern and southern extremi ties of the island for its terminations. A portion of this arc, amounting to 2 deg. 50 min. from Dunnose, in the Isle of Wight, to Clifton, in Yorkshire, was published in 1803. As the whole arc from Dunnose to Unst and Balta, the most northern of the Shetland Isles, would comprise more than 10 degrees, and as nearly • half a century had elapsed since the former portion had been completed and pub lished, the association at the Birmingham meeting in 1849 passed a resoluti on t h at a deputation should confer with the Master -G enera l ero rapidity, e and of the Ordnance on the subject. This had the eff e ct o f' a ccelerating the work,which is now in acti ve progress . The great arc of Eastern Europe has been i n th e to an extent hitherto unparalleled. It or i g i na t e d in topographical surveys in Esthoni a an d Li von i a , and m w e a a s n c t o im m e m a en d e v e a a ncing with it i 1816. T unexampl ed opatin s, both go. desical and astronomical, have been completed be tween Ismail, on the Danub e, and Fugleness, in Finninarken, an extent of 25 1.3.1 meridionul degrees. The next in extent is the Indian iirc of 21 deg. 21 minutes between Cape Comorin and Naliana; and the third is the French arc already referred t h o o , o w f 12 deg. '22 min. The President expressed hist _ e that the Government would speedily theuldeercoe,kstsof determination of the tide-wave along; g re tidal Africa and South America by an Atlantic which expe dition, in accordance with the comnittn He then had been made to them by the association. of the referred to the important continuationthe temperature at re searches of Professor Dove on the surface of the globe , and spoke at some len g th on the proposition which bad been made by the Govern mentthe co-operation of this of the United Sta tes for me t eo rological observations to country in a system of be made at sea by all ships 'ce of the naval service in the two countries, and sufficiently simple to be parti cipated in by the merchant service also. The request for British co-operation in an undertaking so ho nourable to the country in which it originated was referred by the Foreign Secretary to the President and Council of the Royal Society for their opinion, the concluding sentence of which is now given, in the persuasion that it will find an echo in every part of the kingdom, and that it cannot fail to be promptly acted upon by the Government of a country in which maritime interests hold so prominent a place:- 4 , To the Government of this country the demand for co-operation and for the interchange of observations is most earnestly addressed by the Government of the United States; and the President and Council of the Royal Society express their hope that it will not be ad dressed in vain. We possess in oar ships of war, in our packet service, and in our vast commercial navy, better means for making such observations and a greater inte rest in the results to which they lead than any other nation; for this purpose every ship which is under the control of the Admiralty should be furnished with in struments properly constructed and compared, and with proper instructions for using them; similar instruction for making and recording observations, as far as their means will allow, should be given to every s hi p tha t s ails , with a reque s t that they will transmit the results to the Hydro grapher's-ofEco at the Admiralty, where an adequate staff of officers or others should be provided for their prompt examination, and the publication of the improved charts and sailing directions to which they would lead; above all, it seems desirable to establish a prompt com munication with the Hydrographer's office of the United States, so that the united labours of the two greatest naval and commercial nations of the world may be com. bined, with the least practicable delay, in promoting the interests of navigation." Tee President then made an allusion to the in creased chances of a communication existing between the Atlantic and Polar oceans at Barrow's Straits, through the discoveries ue to the hardihood and in trepidity of our merchant seamen • and expressed his belief in the advantages likely to accrue from the expedition dispatched u n d er Belcher, to follow up the discovered traces of Sir John Franklin's vessels. The next subject of importance referred to was the Committee result of the Parliamentary on Pensions that, out of to Scientific Persons, by whi c h it appears the sum granted annually in recompensei literature of civil ser vices, chiefly, though not exclusively , of n the and science, only about one-eighthwhole amount, or 13 per cent., had been a ll o tt e d to scientific recipients. The committee thought it proper to bring the subject under the notice of the Treasury, and a satisfactory change has been recorded, as during the past year pensions have been granted, at the instance of the President of the Royal Society, to Mr. Hind, who has the unique distinction of being the dis coverer of no less than six out of the twenty-five planets; to Dr. Mantell, so well known as a palaeontologist ; and to Mr. Ronalds, for the electrical and kindred researches in which he has been engaged for so many years past—pensions in volving in their aggregate an amount equal to one third of the whole grant. The President notified that our Government had acceded to the request made by the United States Government, that scientific pub lications for the purpose of presentation should be ad mitted duty free, conditionally that they should pass through the Royal Society. This concession, so im peratively demanded for the advance of science, was speedily followed by a remittance from the United States, which was of such magnitude as to amount to three tons in weight. He concluded his able address by some observations of the advisability of science being more directly represented in Parliament—a question which had been mooted, but to which he could not give his support. The active business of the meeting commences to morrow, the committees of the several sections meet- ing at 10, the rooms__ opening for members at 1 o'clock. NAVAL IN TELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, FRlDAY.—Highflyer, 21, Captain Matson, came into harbour under steam this morning, and' was afterwards brought into the Angle Dock. We understand that she will have three feet added to her lower masts and three feet taken off her top masts. She is very stiff under sail, and sails well. The only ship in the squadron that beats iaerin sailing is the Phaeton. We trust that the Highflyer will prove the first of a fleet of superior men of war, de signed by the gallant surveyor of the Navy, Sir Baldwin Walker, and his assistants, ',Messrs. Edye and Watts, on whom the performances of the vessel reflect great credit. Dauntless, 24, will come into harbour this even ing, and into the North Dock to-morrow, from whence the Collingwood, 80, has been moved to-day to make room for her. A very splendid and magnificent frigate-built East India ship, the Blenheim, Captain Close, one o Smith's fleet, arrived at Spithead, to embark her passengers, this morning. She is 1,660 tons burden, pierced for 43 guns, and of sufficient strength to carry that number of long 32-pounders. She is a re markable man-of-war locking craft, built of teak upon the lines of her Majesty's screw guard-ship Blenheim, of 56 guns, now stationed at Portsmouth. She is reported to be a very fast sailing vessel. Every berth on board is engaged, and she could have filled many more cabins had she had them. Her passengers, 45 in number, embark this evening, and she sails to morrow at daylight. It is satisfactory to see such a fine ship, an d one so easily made available for war pur poses, in the mercantile marine. This fine ship takes out, amongst others, a number of military gentlemen, &c., of the Hon. East India Company a service. Cap- 1 rain Edmund D. Byng (son of Admiral the Hon. H. D. Byng), for several years A D.C. to General Sir Charles Napier in India, Mrs. Byng, Lieutenant Gleig, Mrs. Gleig, and sister, &c., will embark on board her this evening, for passage to Bengal. Tile Blenheim anchored at eleven o'clock, and so man-of-war like is the cut of her sails and her rig that the demand for her number askV pt flying by the Victory and the steamers at Spitd till she anchored. She was taken for the Dlse3oder, which is expected at Spithead from Chatham. The Termagant, 24, screw -frigate, Captain G. Giffard, went out of harbour yesterday morning to try her speed, which was upwards of nine knots an hour. The Inflexible, 6, paddle -sloop, Commander Wol rige, went out to Spithead this morning ready for sea and to await orders. The Arrogant, 46, Captain Robinson, will come into harbour to-morrow, to go direct into the steam basin to be docked on the 15th and have her defects made good. DEVONPORT, SEPT. 2.--Equestrian convict-ship, sailed yesterday with 294 convicts, for Hobart Town. Argus steamer returned fr om Port smouth this day at noon. Hogue was commissione d y es terday by Captai n Ramsay.

Mr. Sharp, Master's-Assistant of her Majesty's ship L on don, 90, passed his examination in s.amarisl , i pon b oar d the Waterloo flag- ,, hip on Tuesday, receiving a first-class certificate of competency. The captain and officers of her Majesty's London, 90, gave a ball on hoard on the even i ngship i I) the of the 30h ult., at which were present Commo do re lion.

TIMES.—In oratory, especially the oratory of self laudation, Ireland has never been, and, according to existing appearance, is never likely to be, deficient. The national vanity of the French exhales in dramatic chows,—that of the Irish in endless periods and gingling lyrics. No nation has ever received more of the unde served praise which the proverb truly informs us is satire in disguise. The instinct of . Irish orators h as usually led theta to draw for the topics of their pane gyrics on bright, vague, and dazzling anticipations of the future, rather than on a retrospect or the unbending and unmanageable records of the past. Five years hence the state of Ireland may be prosperous and glo rious ; five years ago it was difficult to paint it in any other colours than those of the blankest ruin and the blackest despair. Your negative is the very best pane gyrist. When there is little good to be said of a thing, one may, at any rate, assert or predict the absence of evil. Lord Eglintoun would probably have done more wisely had he attended to these time-honoured rules in his Belfast speech, and if, while launching forth into the boundless ocean of anticipations for the future, he had left the past of Ireland to cur regrets, and the present to our indignation. The time at which Lord Eglintoun speaks is one little calculated to elicit words of exultation and self-gratulation. The progress of Belfast, to whatever causes attributable, is doubtless a topic on which the Viceroy of Ireland may expatiate with reasonable pride, whether it be_ due to the genius of Irishmen, to the pertinacity ofWeotehreen, or, as Lord Eglintoun suggests, to a happy union of the two. But the very existence of this oasis at one extremity of Irish desolation is in itself the severest censure on the land to the condition of which it offers so striking a con trast. Why, if it has been found possible to build such a hive of industry at Belfast, do the resources of the rest of the island remain comparatively undeveloped? Teem ing with natural wealth, blest with a temperate climate, possessing a boundless extent of water-power, harbours unsurpassed in the world, and unrivalled geographical positiots, Ireland is unable to support her population, unable to develope her natural resources, repels the capital which would willingly find investment with her, and casts forth her people to cultivate other lands en dowed of f he by nature far less munificently than her people, Lord Eglintoun tells us, are t hing. Why,perce t p h t e i perception, are full they of genius, poor h d v fitr ire they e e y ve m ry i - . mi serable? --why are they depressed? That should be what she is, is no proof either or the genius or Wi sfrheeracatnheenhdpusroefshucerh vgirnoesrsosi,a tude of her inhabitants, duodirstdh fulsomena that, being pr o t. owf adulation, h t a h t e sh u e eivc i ek s n: triumphantly that Ireland is a h Eg uess of her perception.Eglintoun has proved country.

Where, then, is .hat latent element of evil which turns all this sweet ness into gall, this prosperity into adversity, this hope into despair? We will ourselves attempt to solve this problem, but before we do so we must remark on the singular infelicity with which Lord Eglintoun refers to the opinion of the Attorney-General of James L, that " there is no nation under the sun that loco love equal and indifferent justice better than the Irish, or will rest better satisfied with the execution thereof." What honest Irishman could hear such a statement without a blush, when made by the head of the Government which has recently been called upon by a coroner's jury to prosecute for wilful murder the soldiers of the 31st Regiment for defending their lives from the murderous onslaught of the mob at Sixmile bridge—a verdict which the organ of the very priests .vho led the attack is obliged to disclaim as untenable? In bow many instances have the ends of justice been ,rfitirely defeated by this justice-loving people in the jury box, till it has come to be seriously questioned whither those institutions which entrust the people with the administration of the laws will ever take root in the country, and assimilate and incorporate into themselves the cheracter of the nation? The Attorney-General of James I. might be pardoned for so utterly mi.:appre ciating the character of a semi barbarous and almost unknown people; but the additional experience of 250 years should have taught a very different lesson to the Lord-Lieutenant of Queen Victoria. Lord Eglintoun has shown that Ireland cannot be poor and miserable. So far from accounting for the present state of things, he has triumpheutly de monstrated that it does not exist. We, on the other hand, believing that Ireland is poor and miserable, have sought and found a cause which may account for it. There is much bigotry in Ireland, but bigoted and priest ridden countries have elsewhere been able to turn their natural resources to account and support their population in comfort. There is much discord in Ireland, aggra vated probably by the free institutions which we have introduced, and which are used for any purpose rather than that for which they were ordained. But even ei%il discord and party spirit are not inconsistent with the rise of a nation, and may stimulate in seine degree its intellect and activity. The evils of Ireland are, we be lieve, to bo traced primarily to none of these things, but to the reckless spirit which till lately animated the lauded proprietors, who dragged down their country into the same vortex of ruin as themselves, and to the listless in dolence which so strikingly characterizes the lower orders. To live arid to multiply with the least possible labour on the most precarious subsistence possible has been their only idea of industry and forethought. The capital of the rich has been squandered in frivolous and worth less amuse ments, and the labour of the poor occupied in the my:.• tery of planting and digging up a small plot of pota toes. Once having established it as a principle that discomfort with idleness was better than cleanliness and abundance procured by labour, the peasant lowered his standard of living to a degree whi c h r e ndered further reduction impossiie e , pow d miserable wh en r i c h and poor c o u u t it e a d icoo uthe r any a f ro s i pl torabee- Lice of enjoying the day that passed over them. and leaving the morrow to take care of itself? not exist in a country where there were n o savings.
