The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts, fhe advantages resulting from the invention are various and striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the com bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns steadily for any period ; and such is its purity, that it neither affects or soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have made to the introduction of gas in dwelling-houses, to the expense of fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, &c. ; these are entirely obviated by the "PATENT UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER." As the cost of laying on gas is much lower than is com monly supposed, it is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. Ono of the small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of waste or trouble. The merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing every other known light, are shown by the annexed authentic opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, Sir doubt RuNtae, President, In the Chair. " A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited. The principal nevelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner. rhe air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was hex ed, and passed out by two series of fire-holes around the periphery, and impinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion, The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady, as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution, where these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption of these burners with that of the concentric ring• burners, and trying the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a better light, with a saving of rather more than one-third." REMOVAL. 11V R. CULVERWELL has REMOVED to No. 10, ARGYLL-PLACE, REGENT-STREET, (leading to Great Marlborough-street,) where he may be consulted, as usual, Daily till Three, and in the Evening 'from Seven till Nine; and where also his several publications, of which entirely new and en larged editions have recently been published; may be obtained.

Also, the Advowson of the Vicarage of St. Mary, and the Freehold Rent Charges in lieu of tithes, ex tending over nearly 18,000 acres, of the annual value together of up wards of 6,0001., exclusive of the valuable manors and living; offering with its many advantages, a fine, influential, and solid pro perty for the investment of capital. There is a navigable river through the estate, and the railway from Peterborough to Ely passes through Whittlesea. The entire property will be first offered in One Lot, and if not sold, will be immediately put up in Three Lots ; viz., 1. THE TITHE RENT-CHARGES. 2. THE MANORS AND FARMS. 3.

Very IMPORTANT and VALUABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE, embracing the entire PARISH of ADDINGTON, free of Tithes and Land-tax, and almost of Poor-rates, with its spacious Mauston, excellent Manor for Game, the Advowson, and several first-rate Grazing and Dairy Farms, extending nearly to the town of Win slow, and only five miles from the county and borough town of Buckingham, distinguished as the family seat and doinain of the late Hon. General Vere Poulett, forming a singularly eligible and _ . solid investment for capital, in a proverbially rich and fine sporting country. MESSRS.

The high turnpike road from Aylesbury to Buckingham passes through the property, close to the town of Winslow, and it is within a very easy distance of the several markets of Buckingham, Bicester, Stony Stratford, &c.

These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of mutters everyliving crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our Mil organization, the laws whereby our existenee and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fhlfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the llk e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations.

PRIC2' SD. THE QUEEN'S VISI P T GUERNSEY. (From the Guernsey Star of Monday.) Yesterday evening, about six o'clock, the royal squa dron, consisting of 'the royal yacht steamers Victoria and Albert and Fairy, and her Majesty's steamers Black Eagle and Garland, were seen off St. Martin's Point, ap parently coming from the westward, the royal standard of England flying on the Victoria and Albert. In about half an hour from this time the royal squadron came into the roads, and cast anchor, and shortly after a Royal salute was fired from the guns at Fort George. As soon as the squadron were perceived, information was sent to his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor at Haviland hall, and to the commanding officer at Fort George ; while the news of her Majesty's approach penetrated even into churches and chapels, then tilled with their re spective congregations. The Lieutenant-Governor was speedily in his carriage on the road to town; and Major Goodman, who had immediately ordered the depot of the 27th to get under arms and to march to the pier, preceded them in all haste on horseback. The Lieute nant-Governor and Major Goodman then embarked in a boat from the pier, acccompanied by Advocate liter marck, the Solicitor-General, Dr.Hoskins, and Mr. Napier, it being then about 20 minutes past seven o'clock. By this time the piers were crowded with spectators, whose numbers received large accessions as the services in the different places of worship terminated, great numbers embarking in boats and rowing off to the squadron. The Lieutenant-Governer having reached the Victoria and Albert, went on board with Major Goodman, when her Majesty's orders were communicated to him through Lord Alfred Paget. In the meantime, as it became dark, the houses, from one extremity of the town to the other, were rapidly illuminated. The display was less artistic than would have been the case had there been more time for preparation, but the fpromptitude and ex tent of this spontaneous demonstration of loyal joy made it highly creditable to the people. The period during which the Lieutenant-Governor was going to and coming from the royal squadron was occupied by the assembled multitude in speculations as to whether, and when, her Majesty and her Royal Consort would land. His Excellency returned to shore about 9 o'clock, when he announced to the assembled crowd that her Majesty had intimated that she was desirous of seeing her subjects in Guernsey, and giving them an opportu nity of seeing her, and that she would land on the fol lowing morning at 9 o'clock, and proceed in her carriage to take a cursory view of the island, and re-embark at 11. This announcement by his Excellency was received with enthusiastic cheers. The Lieutenant-Governor then issued orders that the whole of the militia of the island shOuld be under arms in the morning, and various officers were sent into the country parishes to give the necessary notices; whilst intimation of her Majestys ar rival was sent by his directions to the magistrates of the Royal Court, who thereupon decided on holding an ex traordinary meeting at half-past 7 in the morning, other orders being given for all such preparations being made as the time would permit. The inhabitants generally allowed themselves but little rest. The militia officers were going about all night, giving notice to their men, and every man, woman, and child who was able to move was a-foot at day-break —many of them much earlier. Some were occupied in collecting and arranging flowers and branches for gar lands and festoons, others in preparing flags, &c., and others getting ready to perform their military duty or to secure places for witnessing the scene in which all took so lively and heartfelt an interest. At an early hour preparations were being universally made for decorating the houses with flags, garlands, &e. The ships in the harbour and roads were dressed in their gayest attire, and on every point were seen the most unmistakeable evidences of loyalty and welcome towards the royal visitors. At half-past seven the Royal Court met and prepared a dutiful address of congratulation and homage in the name of the Lieutenant-Governor, the magistrates, the clergy, and the other authorities. This address was subsequently signed by the Lieutenant-Governor, in the name of the authorities, and taken off to her Majesty by Mr. N. Lefebvre, her Majesty's Sheriff, and Messrs. Peter and Stephen Martin, his deputies. The address was, by her Majesty's command, received by Lord Afred Paget, with an intimation that an answer would be given to it on her Majesty's return to England. The Lieutenant-Governor, with several officers of his staff, together with Mr. S. Carey and P. Le Lievre, con stables, and all the assistant and special constables, were on the pier and in the streets at an early hour, making preparations for her Majesty's reception. The ships and boats in the harbour were, under the directions of Mr. William Jones, the assistant harbour master, so arranged as to remove all obstructions, and the streets through which her Majesty was to pass were thickly strewn e ith sand. The 27th depot, under the command of Major Good• man, came down a little before eight o'clock, and were stationed close to the south slip, forming the right line through which her Ma'esty was to pass, a guard of honour of that corps being under the command of Cap tain Williamson. The Ist or East Regiment of Militia were stationed next the 27th, and the other militia regi ments continued the line up the Grange-road. But de cidedly the most beautiful part of the spvctacle was a party of about a hundred young ladies belonging to the first families of the island, who, mostly clothed in ele gant white dresses, and carrying in their hands baskets of beautiful flowers, were stationed immediately adjoin ing the landing-place, and presented a picture which it would be impossible to surpass. The royal standard of England having been planted at the south slip, and the causeway covered with carpet, all was in readiness for the reception of her Majesty and her Royal Consort. A few minutes before nine o'clock her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Lord Alfred Paget, the Hon. Miss Napier, Lady Jocelyn, and Sir James Clark, em barked in the royal barge from the Victoria and Albert 'yacht, under aroyal salute from the guns at Fort George. The barge was in a few minutes pulled to the landing place, where his Excellency Major-General Napier, Colonel Ward, of the Royal Engineers ' • Major Good man's 27th depot ; and the o ffi cers of the Lieutenant- Governor's staff, together with the constables of the town, parish and other officials, were in readiness to re ceive her Majesty and Prince Albert. Her Majesty was assisted from the barge by Miss De Havilland and Miss De Saumarez, immediately on which the ladies before mentioned commenced singing the national anthem, ac companied by the band of the 27th depot. Her Majesty then, leaning on the Prince's arm, and followed by her attendants, walked up to the top of the slip, where two of the royal carriages were stationed. Her Majesty and _Prince Albert took their . places in the first, to gether with the Hon. Miss Napier and Lady Jocelyn •, and Lord Alfred Paget and Sir James Clark occupied the second carriage, the magistrates, the clergy, the law officers, and the advocates of the Royal Court being assembled close to the carriages to make their obeisance to their Sovereign. The Lieutenant-Governor, Lieu tenant-Colonel Ward, Captain Munday, of the Royal Artillery, Major Goodman, and other officers, then placing themselves in front of the royal carriages, the cortege moved on, amidst most enthusiastic cheers, which had not ceased from the moment her Majesty was first seen, and which were most graciously acknow ledged by her Majesty and Prince Albert, round the church, up High-street, the Grange-road, Petite Marche, and Colborne-road, to Fort George. Having entered this fortress the cortige proceeded till opposite the en trance of the citadel, where the keys of that place were offered to her Majesty by the Lieutenant-Governor. The royal cortege then continued through the fort, past St. Martin's Church, and down the Grange-road to the harbour. By this time the troops, not exactly knowing the course her Majesty would take wero assembled on the piers and in the neighbourhood, the depOt of the 27th Re giment occupying the south pier, and, with the East Regi ment, forming a double line from the church to the south pier head. The royal carriages, occupied as before men tioned, reached the harbour abolit 20 minutes past 10, and proceeded along the pier as far as the upper steps, where the illustrious party aliThted, her Majesty leaning on Prince Albert's arm, and, preceded by the Lieut..- Governor, and followed by her suite, descending the steps and proceeding to the place of embarkation, where her Majesty, the Prince, and party, entered the royal barge, the scene being again embellished by the beau teous company of ladies before-mentioned, who again strewed flowers on their Sovereign's path. At the moment of departure the guns from the fort ',gait . ) saluted ; the bands struck up " God save the Queen and the assembled multitude--gentle and simple— cheered with heartfelt enthusiasm— tributes of respect and affection which were recognised by her Majesty in a manner which seemed to declare that she believed and appreciated their sincerity. The barge was quickly rowed to the royal yacht, and her Majesty, the Prince, and party, having gone on board, the glorious standard of England was again spread to the breeze, and a little after 11 o'clock the royal squadron (with the exception of the Garland, which remained to embark the car riages) was on its way to Portsmouth, where it is ex pected to arrive to-night. In this hasty sketch of this the most gratifying event in the history of Guernsey, which, since the days of King John (now upwards of six centuries ago), has not been honoured by the presence of its Sovereign, we have ne cessarily given an immethodical, and but very imperfect representation of the transient but brilliant scene which has been witnessed, and still less have we been able to do justice to the feeling which has been manifested on all sides. Her Majesty's gracious visit, although wished for, was scarcely expected. No preparations for the gratify ing event were therefore made, and consequently what• ever demonstrations of respect, of joy, and of loyalty were offered were spontaneous and imperfect. But there was hearty goodwill amongst all ; and hence, if her Majes ty's reception was less ceremonious than could have been desired, there was a cordiality, a spirit of welcome, about it, which, it is to be hoped, has more than atoned for its deficiencies. The courtesy, the kindness—we might almost venture to say the friendliness—of the manner of her Majesty to all who had the honour of approaching her, as well as to the loyal crowds by whom she was surrounded, would appear to justify the belief that her Majesty understood the feelings by which her Guernsey subjects were ac tuated, and accepted as they were meant the manifesta tions of their joy and affection. There has been, per haps, but little of state and ceremony in the too short intercourse which has taken place ; but there has been a warmth and cordiality in it which gives it a grace that we would not willingly exchange for more formal and more stately proceedings. We learn with pleasure that her Majesty and the Prince expressed themselves well pleased with their_ visit and reception: On entering High-street they seemed agreeably struck With the profuse display of de corations which were there observable, and with the thousands of faces which were beaming welcome on them from the houses. On approaching the entrance to the Fort the Prince appeared struck with the beauty of the surrounding scenery, and asked, with much interest, of one of the special constables, who were near the car riage, the names of the islands in sight. When the French coast and cape La Hogue were pointed out to his Royal Highness, he spoke to the Queen, who ap peared, to take an equal interest in the scene, and the Prince was heard to say that he was not sur— prised that General Napier had chosen that view for their inspection. On the whole we have reason to believe that her Majesty was well-pleased with her visit ; and indeed it is said that her Majesty inti mated that she might, within a short time, repeat it, when she would also honour our sister island, Jersey, with her presence, which engagements in England pre vented her doing on the present occasion.

PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—This being the anni- - vcrsary of the birthday of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Victory and other ships in harbour were dressed in colours, as was the North Star, at Spithead; and the royal standard was hoisted on all the Govern ment offices. At noon a royal salute was fired from the Victory and the other ships and the Platform Battery. His Grace the Duke of Wellington arrived at Gosport by the nine o'clock train from London this morning, and was met by the Marquis of Anglesey . and Colonel Car dew, Commandant of the Royal Engineers in this gar rison, who accompanied the Duke over the fortifications in progress on the Gosport side. After which his Grace returned to London by the half-past three P.M. train of the South-Western Railway. His Grace made his in. spection on horseback. The Harlequin, 12, Commander Curry, was at Smyrna, all well, on the 16th of July. Her further movements . were very uncertain. The Apollo troop-ship, Commander Radcliffe. is very shortly expected at Spithead from Rio and the Cape, with troops and invalids. The Amazon, 26, Captain Stopford, was at the Pirfeu3 of Athens on the 7th inst. The Vestal, 26, Captain Talbot, was at Hong-Kong on the 23d of June, 1846. She was to start about the Ist of July for Chusan. The Admiral, in the Agin court, 72, had gone to Borneo. The royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, came into harbour this afternoon for fuel. The Fairy also came in some time prior. DANGEROUS CONDITION OF WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE. On Tuesday afternoon considerable alarm was created amongst the numerous workmen employed in the repair ing of Westminster-bridge, by the sudden cracking of the crown of one of the arches of that structure. Upon making an inspection, it was found that the roadway of the bridge, as well as a portion of the foot pave ment, bad opened very considerably, and the carriage way, a short distance towards the centre had to all appearance sunk several inches. Intelligence was quickly forwarded to the proper authorities, and during the same night the following notice was issued:— " JOHNSON, MAYOR. " Notice is hereby given, that the navigation through the centre, and the two next arches of Westminster bridge, towards the Surrey side of the river, is stopped by order of the Lord Mayor. (Signed) " NATHANIEL SAUNDERS, " Sub-Conservator and Water Bailiff. " Mansion-house, August 25, 1846." Whilst the men were at work on Wednesday two large pieces of stone slipped from their level, and again caused much confusion. The men, fearful that the arch was about to fall, got ashore, and it was some time before they were satisfied that their work was attended with safety. An extra number of workpeople was put on to the bridge during the afternoon, and with the assistance of the regular hands, the wooden palisading on the upper side of the bridge was removed, and large poles in the shape of derricks were fixed on either side of the bridge, so as to protect the part that had given way. At eight o'clock last evening it was understood that the dangerous arches were properly braced and pro tected from danger. PREVENTING THE OXIDATION OF IRON.—Mr. Poole has taken out a patent for preventing the oxidation of iron, and for rendering malleable iron harder and more durable. The first improvement consists in adding to pig iron, when in a state of fusion, from two to ten per cent. of copper, tin, nickel, or antimony, whereby it is rendered more malleable and less subject to oxidation. The second im provement consists in coating iron with steel, or with a species of iron containing less carbon than common cast metal, by adding one part of blister steel to four parts of molten cast-iron, and then continuing to add scrap iron to the molten mass, until an iron rod is no longer rendered brittle by being dipped into the mixture. With this iron common iron is coated iti the same manner as in the case of covering iron with brass. The third improvement consists in case-hardening iron, and preventing it from rusting, by the use of the ferrocyanide of sodium, calcium, or barium, avoiding the use of the ferrocyanide of potassium, which has already been employed for the purpose, as mentioned in vol. 3of the Artizun, p. 115. An alkaline bath formed with car bonate of soda, or any of the other alkalies, is used in con nexion with the ferrocyanide. The iron, to be case-hardened, requires to be heated to nearly a red heat, and is then to be immersed in the bath, where it is raised to a higher heat. after which it is to be plunged into the ferrocyanide previously fused, in another vessel. The process appears to us to be far too complicated to be likely to come into general use, even if effectual for the purpose, of which we have doubts.—Artizan. PRICE OF GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris is 16 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 55; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 77 1 ,1 3 , it follows that gold is 0.87 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 436 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10 1 4 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 1310 1 ,4 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 11 1 4, it follows that gold is 0.34 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. A PETRIFIED FOOT DISCOVERED IN THE THAMES. — Wednesday afternoon, some boys playing on theriver bank, at the end of Essex •street, Strand, near the Watermens' Pier, picked up a petrified foot, which on examination proved to be that of a female. The ankle bone and the bones of the toes were perfect in form and consistency, but towards the nails of the toes, the process of decomposition had taken place as regarded flesh, the nails being perfect. Several gentlemen from King's College Hospital inspected it, and pronounced that it must have been embedded in some pecu liar soil for a great length of time, and had probably been washed down from one of the sewers, as the river water had no tendency to petrifaction. This relic of " brief mortality" was purchased by a gentleman in the parlour of the Swan Tavern, who expressed his intention to forward it to some scientific institution. The foot is small, and the indications are, that it is that of an adult female. Lord John Russell has taken a country residence for the season, near Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, and it is now, in course of preparation for ther eoeption of his Lordship and family. A Rriac OF OLD PARIS.—The demolition of the old house on the Quai Napoleon, No. 9, which is said to have been formerly iuhabited by Heloise and Abelard, after having been suspensed for a short time, to see if any one would purchase the building for the sake of preserving it, has been resumed. In a few days the house will be hirvallad to the ground.—Golignani's Messenger. ANNIVERSARY OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALIBERT'S BIRTHDAY. —Wednesday being the anniversary of the natal day of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the salutes were fired from St. James's-park, the Tower, and-the other metropolitan forts, at all of which the royal standard was displayed. The Italian Opera House, most of the theatres, and the Colosseum, as well as the houses of the Prince Consort's tradesmen, were illuminated in the evening. The Right Hon. Henry Labouchere, Chief Secretary for Ireland, will leave town on Monday next, for his official residence in the Phoenix-park, Dublin. This will be his first visit to Ireland in an official capacity. ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.--On the afternoon of Monday last, an accident, attended with the destruction of several luggage waggons, befel the luggage train passing Leigh, about four r.x., just as the train had crossed the bridge over the Leeds and Liver pool Canal, at Leigh. In connexion with the inanimate lug gage, upwatds of 100 Irish reapers had booked themselves by the train, and were proceeding to Liverpool. It is supposed that the usual caution had not been exercised in using the break; but whether this be the case or not, the train was proceeding at great speed, and as there is a sudden descent at this spot, it is thought that the jerk broke an axletree, or some of the chains by which the waggons are attached. Eight or nine of them were thus thrown off the rails, and some were precipitated down the high embankment, and literally smashed into fragments, whilst those close to the engine, with those containing the Irish reapers, were fortu nately preserved in their proper position. In a short time considerable numbers of people were on the spot, and ren dered every assistance in their power to remove the shattered waggons, which, after little more than an hour's delay, were cleared off the line, so that the usual trains might pass. THE LATE CASE OF POISONING AT WHITECHAPEL.— On Wednesday Mr. W. Baker resumed and concluded the inquiry at the London Hospital, on the body of Thomas Parker, late the proprietor of the Veteran beer-shop, in Whitechapel, who, together with the child Samuel Jones, died in the hospital, from eating berries of the deadly night shade, vended by a man named John Hillard. The evidence adduced on the former inquiry, as well as that presented be fore the magistrates, has been already fully detailed in our columns. Mr. Prophet, surgeon, cf Whitechapel, had made a post mortem examination, and after elaborately detailing the appearances of the body, said death had been caused by the effects of a vegetable poison. The Coroner summed up the evidence at great length, and the jury, after about half an hour's deliberation, returned a verdict of manslaughter against John Hillard, for gross neglect and want of caution; and the Coroner issued his warrant for his committal to New gate, and bound over the witnesses to prosecute at the next session of the Central Criminal Court. The jury were then bound over to attend next Monday, to prosecute the inquiry into the case of the child Samuel Jones, when the same evi dence will have to be gone into, and probably the same ver dict will be returned. THE CHARGE OF FELONY AGAINST A SURGEON AND HIS ASSISTANT AT lismstEnsatmt.—At Hammersmith police office on Wednesday, Mr. Gilbert Kennedy and Mr. Archibald M'Niell, the surgeon and his assistant, were again examined on a charge of stealing certain massive gold chains, and other costly articles of jewellery, to the value of nearly. 10011 the her ti property of Mrs. Relev, deceased, who, at the n 22 0 demise, on the 12th of April last, was hone whom said. of Ken nedy's house.

The triumph of Coombes at the late Thames regatta • Is certainly not a contemptible matter ; On the day of' the contest, vast crowds took a ramble, To witness the struggle of Coombes and of Campbell; And the boats and the steamers were throng'd to excess To see how,the long-look'd-for match would progress. And who was the winner? why Coombes to be sure, From the first of the struggle his fame was secure; His success is applauded, and no one contemns The glorious champion of old Father Thames. And now having told how the race has been won, Let us draw a reflection for MOSES and SON, Who long on account of the efforts they've made, Have been crown'd with the championship of the trade. The trade may be view'd as a river, and here It depends how you " pull," it depends:how you " steer." Here MOSES and SON have been champions at will, Having " feather'd" their oars with remarkable skill, And none on the river of trade can you catch With courage sufficient to venture a match, While MOSES and SON, through the efforts they've made, Are proclaim'd by the public the " Champions of Trade 1" A New Work, entitled " Past, Present, and Future," with full directions for self-measurement, may be had on application, or forwarded, " Post Free."

THROUGHOUT ENGL kND. And in the description that necessarily must follow, Mr. Robins, without the slightest affectation, proclaims that he approaches the task with fear and trembling. The herculean task, however, must be approached THE FORD ABBEY DEMESNES are to be traced back to a very distant day, and they have ever sines maintained their proud superiority over EVERY OTHER MONASTERY IN ENGLAND, It is a splendidly grand and unique building, altogether realising Lord Byron's glowing description of Norman Abbey— An old, old monastry once, and now Still older mansion, of a rich and rare Mia'd Gothic, such as artists all allow Few specimens yet left us call compare. Its classic front EXTENDS TO NEAR THREE HUNDRED FEET. The order of architecture is in the Tudor style, and may be dated about the time of Henry VIII. • but to describe it as it deserves is felt to be far beyond the reach of the limited capacity of the com poser, and even much wiser heads would be puzzled in the attempt to•do it justice—it is indeed THE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF THE WEST. Its fame has been held in the highest veneration from generation to generation, and it is now avowed to have no successful rival amid the vast variety of monasteries to be found throughout the country. The first impression on beholding this ANCIENT AND CLASSIC PILE the writer feels can never be obliterated from his memory; his mind on the instant seemed to be subdued into a most devout and -religious state—one of absolute wonder—mixed up with bound less admiration ; it was a joyous spectacle, but Mr. Robins cannot too earnestly invoke all those who possess a soul congenial with ob jects of antiquity to go to the Abbey, and then judge for themselves; they will, with one accord, proclaim how absolutely Impossible it is to convey in suitable terms the panegyric which would be awarded to it. However, these preliminary remarks must arrive at a conclu sion; the form prescribed to the length of an announcement will not ad mit of more, but the writer promises, in his printed particulars, to go into a little historical statement that will be acceptable, at least to the learned, and all such as are well versed in our history ; and he is fortunately enabled, by the assistance of a very highly talented lady, to aid the historical account of Dagdale by selections of her own, and guided by a judgment and cleverness that has never been held in doubt.. To gratify the learned and the curious in distant parts, Mr. Robins has determined to append to the explanatory par ticulars of the several farms and lands 'a plan of the whole, with a beautifhl drawing of the Abbey. The situation of this monastery is familiar to most of us. It is on the borders of the three fine counties of Dorset, Devon, and Somerset, 15 miles from Taunton, 3 from Chard, about 50 miles from Bristol and Bath, and within a delightful ride of 516 hours from London, which the approaching railway through Chard will reduce to about 4 hours, and also bring it within fifty minutes' rice of Exeter. The county in which the Abbey is placed will not yield to any other. The reader needs not be reminded that, in days of yore, the taste of the monks in the selection of their lands was never questioned, and, amidst all the good things of this world, they were remarkable for the accuracy of their judgment. "m selecting the best of everything, even THE FAT OF THE LAND was not ACCOUNTED TOO GOOD FOR THEIR REFINED TASTE. This princely property is all freehold of inheritance, surrounded by lawns and pleasure-grounds, with gravelled walks between rows of umbrageous trees of great size and stateliness, interspersed with ornamental waters, cascades, and waterfalls sparkling with foam, and here and there a statue to diversify the scene. The Park, which is one of great beauty, is stocked with deer, whose venison has ob tained the highest celebrity for its fatness and fine flavour, while the soft undulating foliage of Its magnificent and TIME-HONOURED TREES is perpetually deluding the eye into a belief that it was of almost boundless extent, and imparting Just such an air of tempered wild ness as would gratify the lover of scenery, without offence to those who are inclined to lock rather for the evidences of the superintend ing hand of care and cultivation. Indeed everything seems to in crease the charms of a spot so rich in nature's beauties. Of the ornamental waters in front of the Abbey it is recorded- , Before the mansion lay a lucid lake, Broad as transparent, deep and freshly fed By a river, which its softened way did take In currents through the calmer waters spread. THE RIVER AXE, so renowned by the disciples of Isaak Walton for its placatory plea sures and delicious trout, winds, in serpentine beauty, through the fair demesne. _ . . ----__. Lost for a space through thickets veering, But broader when again appearing. It was here that The branching stag swept down with all his herd, To quaff a brook which murmured like a bird. It may be asked, " WHAT MORE CAN MORTALS DESIRE ?" The sporting qualities extend to everything a gentleman's heart can contemplate ; by the way, THE MONKS' CELEBRATED WALK is in high preservation. And to omit a pangyric upon THE ANCIENT TAPESTRY THAT ADORNS THE SPATE ROOMS would approach sacrilege. It really and truly may be accounted the WONDER AND ADMIRATION OF THE WORLD. It fearlessly challenges a rival; and the writer is exceedingly desirous that the reader should not for one moment charge this description with being too vivid. He may rest assured here is no flight of fancy, but a veritable and unassuming report. This descrip tion, it is perceived, has already - extended beyond the limits pre. scribed, and therefore (with lament) the writer ends this very im perfect recital, merely observing that the terms used by the foundress of the abbey when she tendered to the holy fatherS her manor of Thorncombe, in exchange for the barren lands of Brightley, stating it to be " well wooded and fertile," are trebly appropriate in the present day, in proof whereof it may be stated that the Messrs. Fowler, of Grainge Farm (the principal estate), bred a horn ewe in 1833, which weighed 18st. 41b., and for size and beauty it has never been equalled. The tenantry are very respectable, and without one guinea of arrear ; indeed the latter word could riot find a place in their vocabulary. The rent is exceedingly low. The demesne ex tends to nearly TWELVE HUNDRED ACRES OF RICH MEADOW, PASTURE, ARABLE, AND WOOD LANDS, MOSTLY TITHE-FREE, AND TAXES MODERATE. Seeing the abundance of unemployed capital (In spite of the railway mania), and the little value of money, the pre sent is a most influential opportunity of possessing an invest ment in land which is preferable to all others—for, as it regards the alteration in the corn-laws, it has been observed by Mr. Robins, in another notice of sale, a fact which every day renders more and more certain, that "WE HAVE ALL BEEN MORE FRIGHTENED THAN HURT." And this fact has been demonstrated in a manner not to be misunder stood. for sink this assertion was in type, Mr. Robins has verified it by the sale of two properties exceeding 150,0001., [at 30 and 33% years' purchase, on rackrentals. There are MANORIAL RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES of con&derable extent, and the principal part of the estate is within a ring fence. The neighbourhood is highly respectable ; many Lords and Nobles are amongst those who prefer to domesticate in this ad mired county, and within a few miles of the abbey, in the adjoining county of Somerset, are the splendid seats of Earl Poulett and Lord Bridport. '!M arkets are everywhere abundant ; in fact, Mr. Robins has taxed his ingenuity in vain to try to discover a fault.

NOTICES Os' THE PRESS. From the Mark-lane Express.—" The work now before us will be appreciated by the professional man who is aware of the importance of distinguishing between ' irritative and • inflammatory' action in determining the course of treatment of disease. The author is of opinion that the symptoms of the former are frequently mistaken for the latter, someti mes even by ex perienced practitioners. Mr. Franks does not content himself with asserting the fact, but pro ceeds to show, by amument and demonstration, which appears to us conclusive, that the position he assumes is correct. Having carefully perused Mr. Franks's book, we can state with confidence, that it ought to be read by every man, inasmuch as the inform a tion it con tains may not only afford relief to the mind upon the appearance of symptoms which are not really indicative of the disease supposed, but may be the means of guarding the patient against the practices of the unskilful and the empiric." From Bell's Life in London.—" We recommend this little treatise to those who, suffering under deserved penalties, wish to pay them off as speedily and safely as possible, without having recourse to the ruinous banks founded by manslaughtering quacks." From the London Mercantile Journal.—" Mr. Franks is evidently an original thinker, and follows not the path of his predecessors in treating the subject upon which he has written. There is a vast amount of truth in his book. It is ignorance which often causes un happiness in,the married state, and such a work as this may be the means of displacing many of those serious heart , :burnings and jea lousies which sever the peace of families."
