Taylor and Bright's Circular states—We have had a week of exceedingly favourable weather for harvest operations, and much progress is made throughout this district. The trade has been more viet this than the preceding week, but still several sales of old foreign wheat have been made to distant places, where the new crop seems to have suffered more than with us. To-day we had a good attendance of farmers, and a fair show of new wheat; condition much better than last week, and quality generally good. The general run of prices was from 38s to 41s per qr weighed 631 b per bushel. Very little old English offering. A very re tail sale for old foreign, the current demand being on fresh red qualities. Barley goes off for consumption at our currency. Beans are 61 to Is dearer, especially Egyptian, which are now much reduced in stock. Peas exceedingly scarce, and in great request.

Mr. Webb notai sbn b e ing s i i , O pnt a n rg ne , cs and eesuaotefi afi t h emod e ne y i r et l e oafi feeling the delicacy of hi slf ly gentleman who was staying position, went to the cler with him. The circum stances were stated to the surgeon, who determined the nurses. For some ti me th e i r e ff orts h a d no result, but at length a bundle was di scovere d b etween the chila's arm and body, which o ne o f th e nurses immediately laid hold of. Th e g i r l, as i t i s alleged, instantly called out, " You must not to uc h that." " But I must have it," said the woman. " But," said the deaf child, " you shan't have it." " I will have it," exclaimed the nurse, and away went the bundle, the child with great resignati on say i ng, " Well , if you will, you must." The s urgeon undid the parcel, and found it to consist of about a score of napkins, bits of linen, &c., which, it is said, had been recently used. These were spread out upon the counterpane, and the parents and two watchers were summoned in to gaze upon the not very fragrant discovery. Of course the utmost consternation was depicted on the faces of the parents. The mother immediately accused the child of deceiving her, but was properly stopped by the remark that this part of the imposition could not have been carried through without her agency. The father seemed in an agony of distress, and solemnly protested that he was entirely ignorant that the napkins were there, and that so far as he knew neither morsel nor drop bad ,passed the child's lips for sixteen weeks. M essrs. Webb and Whitby, the medical gentlemen, an d the nurses, immediately left the cottage, and all , w ith the exceptionindignant of the surgeon, walked on to Woodb rid g e, feeling at the imposition that bad been p ractised. It is during Saturday, im portant, however, to notice that Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thurs day, she had had no food or drink, neither was any food found in the bedding. Mr. Matcham, a medical practitioner, makes the following statement : " TO THE EDITOR OF THE IPSWICH EXPRESS. " consequence of the statements which have been made relative to the above case, I took the earliest possible opportunity of visiting the parents for the pur pose of hearing their version of the affair. I now append briefly their statement Elizabeth Squirrel' did not take any food during the time the gentlemen appointed to watch were present; nor had she taken any for fourteen weeks. 2. No food was found in or about the bed when searched by the nurses. The evidence so far is conclu sive. The only suspicious ciroumstasce is the searching of the bed and finding twenty-one pieces of handker chiefs, cloths, and fragments of long deserted and forgot ten dresses, containing dried fasces, hard, mouldy, and swimming on the surface of the water when put into it. After hearing the statement of the parents, I proceeded to the clergyman of the parish (the Rev. Mr. Frances), and had an interview with Mr. Frances, the surgeon, who made the examination at the request of Mr. Webb. His answers to my interrogations were most satisfactory. On examining the pulse he found it beating 85 to the minute; it subsequently increased to 95, and ulti mately to 120. He is of opinion that Elizabeth Squir rell is suffering from a disease of the heart, which of course would readily account for the variation of the pulse. Mr. Frances found no faeces that had re cently passed, nor was there any appearance of urine, which I humbly submit to the learned and reverend divines would have been the case had she taken food-or drink during the time they were there or previous. I respectfully submit that there is no evidence to criminate either father, mother, or daughter. I confess it is diffi cult to account for the discovery of so many fragments of garments, &c.; but the fact itself, when properly con sidered, exonerates the parents, for no one could believe them so devoid of cleanliness as to leave such things in the house to the detriment of their own and child's health, if they knew of it. In review of these facts, I must conclude that there is no evidence at present to justify us in branding the Squirrel's with imposture. I would invite the public to visit for themselves, hear the counter statements, and then decide. The inquiry has terminated so far in a very ungentlemanly and unscien tific manner, and nothing but a second watch of gentle men who have no interest but the public in view will be conclusive. Trusting to your usual willingness to give the truth so far as you can arrive at it for the insertion of this letter—l am, Sir, yours, &c.. " ALFRED R. MATCIIAM, 01. D. • aornicktgatailkktae our narrative : On the morning following the discovery the father came to Ipswich with a bundle of napkins, which we believe he took to Mr. Webster to prove that they had not been recently used, but we cannot tell whether these were the identical ones that were found, whether the wife deceived the husband, or whether all have been engaged in carrying through one of the most blasphemous pieces of deception on record. After the discovery the girl folded her hands, and looking to heaven (for it is fully believed that she has the use of her sight) said, " I commit myself to the care of my guardian angel, and know that Gad will take care of me." When her father left for Ipsw ich she exclaimed, " Never fear, father, I @hall weather the storm—'twill all end well." We underst and that her parents and herself still stoutly assert t hat she has taken no kind o f no uri s hment for sixteen weeks, and that each of the three is most anxious for a further trial which shall extend over fourteen days. Unless there be full and unimpeachable testimony. that the state of the napkins was such as to indicate without doubt that they had been recently used, the case in the eyes of the public will not be deemed sa tisfactorily settled. Our duty is to state the two sides of the case, and to leave our readers to form their own conclusions. It must not be forgotten that the whole value of the discovery rests on the testimony of the two nurses and the medical gentleman, and in the preceding letter Mr. Matcham coolly asserts that the surgeon told him the feces had not recently passed, nor were there any appearances of urine. If this be so, what becomes of the discovery ? What becomes also of the fact that, closely as the girl was watched, nothing was seen to pass her lips, and the fact also that her pulse alternated from 85 to 120 a minute ? Were the nurses, also, quite accurate in their ac count of what occurred when they seized the napkins ? Probably it will be deemed necessary to make a further examination, should not the report of the com mittee be perfectly conclusive. We need hardly add that it is believed the girl can ' see, and that her alleged ability to read writing with her fingers is disputed. It is also believed that she can hear, and if the conversation regarding the clothes be accurately narrated, there is positive proof that she has the use of this f acu lty. Regarding the ringing of the glass, we ought to add that she has in her room a glass harmonicon, which frequently laid on her bed, and on which she was very fond of playing, though we cannot conceive what delight she could take in music that she could not hear. The belief is that this is the means by which the ringing is occasioned ; that in lieu of the invisible angel's wings, she touched it under the bed clothes while her visitors were ab sorbed in their devotions. But we must leave the whole case to the judg ments of our readers. Much more might be written. We might enlarge upon the fact that the girl is un doubtedly an extraordinary character—that at the be ginning of her illness she certainly took but little to sustain life—that reports of her abstinence from food spread widely—that the cottage was besieged—thatt its humble occupant was lionised—that the pare d s had their vanity flattered and their pockets replenish n e —and that the thing has g one on to the present rcu mo. m_ mo ment, interspersed with many extraordi nar y ci allusion to the matter. stances. For the present, howeve r, we drop further Many of ee rom allegations lpswich connected Express wt EXTRAORDINARY NARRATIVE. the ing extraordinary narration have for some time been known to us, but to up the present period we have for tey reasons preferred remaining silent regarding ) tt the follow ing them. It is our painful duty to allude to a very re markable case, many of the features of which are so abhorrent, from their apparently profane connexion with religious subjects, that we could wish we had been spared the duty of detailing them. Shottish am is a quiet village in Suffolk, distant from Ipswich thirteen miles, from Woodbridge five miles. Aseph Squirrell (a small tea dealer) and his wife have long resided there, and were believed to be honest, industrious , and worthy people. Amongst their family was an interesting girl named Elizabeth, who, in fact, is the heroine of our tale. Whilst a mere child this girl gave evidenve that she possessed a very superior mind. At ten she placed wasunder the care of Mr. Osborne, th e • village schoolmaster, who soon perceived that his pupil was a girl of great natural ability. She was attents • ve to her studies, and whilst others were at play she would be closely engaged in poring over the books that composed Mr. Osborne's library. H • eying a religious turn of mind, she read upon all theological points. She also made herself acquainted with the English poets, with history, wit • h parts of botany, and with phonography. In June, 1850, at the age of twelve, sbe left the school from illness, occasioned, it is said,close. filition beeente se a-- by too the ,one . studies. Her ill ness assumed the shape of a spinal affection, for which she had the best me dical advic e , and was subsequently sent to the East Suffolk Hospital, in Ipswich, where she remained about six weeks. She then returned home, became worse, and lock jaw set in, depriving her, as it was alleged, of the power of swallowing. She lived on suction, ilk 11- being poured down her throat, but the quantities were so small that her death was daily expected. She, however, to the astonishment of her friends and the villagers, con tinued to live on , a lthou g h it was said she did not take a morsel of solid food. At Midsummer, 1851, she recovered from her lock-jaw, but it was alleged that she had previously been seized with blindness and deafness—faculties which she did not regain. The way in which sbe had lived. begun to be talked of, and some excitement was occasioned amongst the gossips of the neighbouring villages. But at about this time the writings and speeches of the child oc casioned considerable interest, which was heightened by the assertion that she still ate no food. Persons living in the locality came to visit her, and found the patient in a humble apartment, supported on her bed by pillows, with a countenance which most of them called " angelic," but which. certainly was re markable for its singularly, devotional cast, and for the great intelligence which beamed from it. Although it was alleged she could not see, her eyes remained open, and but little defect could be observed in them. To her visitors who sympathised with her she would-say, when lamenting her deafness and blindness, that " what she had learned during health were the tools she had to make use of during her illness. Every hour that passed away added to the excitement, and spread her fame wider and wider from her native village. At all hours of the day parties wended their way to her cottage, and no sooner had they gazed on the child than they were interested in her—an interest that had a strange dash of mystery in it when they were as sured that for nearly two years not a particle of solid food had passed her lips. But the moment she begun to speak she fairly enchained the sympathies of her hearers. For the most part her remarks applied to religious subjects, on which she. would descant a beauty'of'language, power of thought, and de votiOn of mind 'to which old divines could make little prete,naion, and 'she became to be regarded as a being who had some direct missien•to accomplish on behalf of Deity. Her intellectual and devotional powers were developed to their utmost whenever sceptics or infidels were within range of her voice. On secular subjects, also, her remarks were clearly and power falls/ given; and also manifested an inti mate acquaintance with the topics on which she dwelt. Her parents were equally as itie,,Rtheis, and egte,,maleernsk u peee, from food were religiously correct. Her statement regarding herself and her alleged peculiar condition was, that she had seen a vision of angels, one of which number had consented to become her constant atten dant and guardian. Lest she should not be believed, she frequently prayed earnestly that God would grant to her and her visitors some immediate manifestation, which should convince all that she was really the object of God's especial favour. After a time her prayer was answered in this wise—whilst her visitors were deeply engaged in devotional exercises, a ringing noise was heard as if proceeding from a smTheall tumbler glass that stood some distance from her. sound excited the attention of those who were present, who listened in wonder to her statement that whenever it so unded it was swept by the invisible wings of the angel that attended her, and was a direct manifesta tion from heaven of the presence of God. Often and often did this mysterious ringing occur --and always when they were most devout; but the v i s itors were unable to account for it. Sbe often, although deaf, expressed much anxiety that it should ring, and after its peculiar sounds had been heard she seemed bathed in a sort of ethereal inspiration during w hich her thoughts flowed from her lips, burdened with devotion and religious zeal. During a considerable part of her peculiar state she gave evidence of great sensibi lity of touch, being, as it was asserted, enabled to read any person's letters by running her finger over the lines, and deciphering by th e s ame alleged means the phonographic characters that were printed on letter wafers. Amongst those who visited h e r were not a few who endeavoured to detect whether or not any imposition pas practised. Some of these attended day after day, but all were fairly beaten, and came aw ay convinced that it was physically, intellectually, and religiously a genuine case. Rather more than three months since, she and her parents stated that the milk ceased to afford her any nourishment, and that, in fact, from that time she left off taking any sustenance at all, neither food nor drink passing her lips ! Visi tors closely watched her, and were convinced that she was really living on from week to week without partaking of any kind of nourishment. The excite ment out of doors, and throughout many pa rts of the country, was now at fever heat. Medical men, cler gymen, dissenting ministers, carriage aristocracy, gig, cart, and foot folk, alike shared in as t he intense de sire to gaze on this extraordinary child, and to much listen to the words which fell from her with weight as if she really had indisputable credentials On being asked that she was an oracle from heaven. when and how this mystic scene wou ld end, she re plied," Oh ! in my triumphant entrance into glory !" Some gentlemen in Ipswich, w ho had become deeply interested in the case, at length felt that it was quite time that some systematic effort should be made to test it to its fullest extent ;These gentlemen judged that an eight days' trial would settle the matter as to whether or not she partook of any kind of nourish ment. Accordingly, two females of good character were selected, at the earnest entreaty of the father of the g i r l, who were instructed to keep watch over her for eight d a ys and eight nights, it being an instruc tion that the room should never be left without one of them being present. Three weeks since they com menced their task, receiving their instructions from a medical man, and at the end o f eight days returned to Ipswich, declaring that the child had not had any thing to its lips during the whole term, and that they were thoroughly convinced it was a genuine cas e . This, however, did not fully satisfy the gentlemen alluded to. The thing was now universally in these localities, and it talked of was determined to spare no pains to test it to the utmost. They formed themselvs into a committee of eight persons, and drew up o ne was that for regu lations for their guidance; eight days and nights she should never be left linwatched ; and another was that each gen tleman on guard should make a written entry of the events that occurred every hour, and that he should sign his name to it. (This committee will not make their report until the seeingen of this day. The facts we subjoin, therefore, o received direct from any of their number, but we think we may guarantee their strict correctness.) On Saturday week, August 21, this watch commenced, and went on without the slightest thing to excite suspicion, ex cepting a little restlessn ess, until the evenin g o f the following Thursday, when Messrs. Pitcairn and Burton (booksellers)' were relieved by th e R ev s. Webb and Whitby. The former gentleman had long been a sceptic in the matter, and on entering the room thought he discovered an unpleasant smell. He left for an hour's walk, leaving Mr. Whitby in charge. The father then entered, and complained of the want of faith which the watchers in charge manifested, and then suggested that they should seek the blessing of God. He immediately knelt down and prayed with apparent earnestness and solemnity and at consider able length. Mr. Whitby was close to the bed, and during the prayer noticed some agitation of the clothes, and fancied something was offending his olfactory senses. When Mr. Webb returned Mr. Whitby mentioned his suspicions, and as the nose of th e former gentleman again convinced him that something was wrong, he insisted that the bed should be searched.

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 fact there was An Irish woman travelling per London and North- Western Railway, from Liverpool to Manchester the other day, having secured tickets for herself and two "Glass," aboutit that any 1114" particular care was re • children, presented a large box, say 4 feet by 2 feet, and 2 feet deep, to the porters, which was placed at the top of one of the carriages. The box was not marked nothing in its transmission, and when the train reached clu M isite cheater it is said to have been sent down the slide fr om top of the carriage on which it had rested sa ns nal o or in . d ' i T ca ls te is monie, and alighted with a bump on the cell landing-stage which was calculated to produce concussion of the brain, if the box h ad p ossessed brains. But the porters never supposed the box did contain any brains, and they treated it like an y other box. The Irish woman m c l a imed the box, and but for a no thing more would probably h av e her part n othing bee n thought either of her or her luggage. She made t ade fhe slight mistake, however, On getting the box free of cost from the porters, of opening it before she left the staticl, when out sprung two children who had been packed in side, and who fortunately, it seems, had escaped either being smothered or getting concussion of the brain from this hazardous mode of treatment. Th e railway people now put in a claim for carriage, but who ever knew an Irishwoman with any money under such c ircumstanrally ces? " Get blood out of a stone," is an were gene applicable to such cases; and, as they were not disposed to retain the children, the box and a few c l o thes which d. to pay," are n ow lie at the station marked 2s. 7cli till the satisfaction they obtained, or are ever likely t e obtain. he children were 10 to 12 years of age, and had been T packed with a hea d at e ither end of the box, and, except a little bit of wood which appeared to have been aidentally chipped off one side of the lid, had no opening cc for the admission of fresh air or ventilation. b in e i M a Manchester t n e e d h . e s T t e l r i 0 s de is lll. - A Free-trade Bac few days before the meeting of says a corre spondent, que . t is to be Parliament, spondent, to which a large number of Free-trade and Liberal Ablaenmqubeetrsisoftothbee held d ule m tohfeCFormetzorna r \pima," .41AR.1.4, 44:AP . 0:11 t • ,) t - ' 4 , yll , z ll , 0, 1 / 4 h am ` _ Di& 6,1 ; • 7) . - 4 4;;; ' , el L .

We need not enter into a description of these, but may state our impression that the furnishing of her Majesty's Victoria and Albert has nothing finer. There are deck cabins for the attendants upon his Highness and suite, and there is also an apartment for the Pasha's pipe and smoking apparatus, and the cooking range, the operations in which will be prin cipally done with charcoal. A magnificent awning covers the main deck and poop. It is of rich silk damask, worked to an original design, with deep silk fringe and hangers, It is covered with fire-proof cloth, to guard against any damage by sparks from the funnel. The quarter-deck and poop are covered with oilcloth. In point of decoration the outside of the yacht is worthy of the interior. It is adorned in the highest style of art, agreeably to the taste of the country for which this little floating temple of costliness and beauty is intended. Round all the windows, from stem to stern, are carved and gilt architraves, and the bulwarks are ornamented with carved fretwork, re lieved with gold. The paddle. boxes are alto highly ornamented, and on a shield in the centre is the ves sel's name in Arabic—viz., the " Faid Reber 6." The figure-bead is composed of his Highness' s cres t, supported by two lions richly gilt. The hull is painted a rich green colour, and is literally one blaze of gold from stem to stern. The Fsid Rabani will proceed to sea about the Ist of September, under the charge of Captain Brown and a trustworthy crew and able engineers. She will as auxiliary to her steam cpaorwr, y e r sails bu t o t n h j e u s jury-masts, - tswmilarsbe, removed on her arrival in Egypt. Her station will, of course, be permanently on the the Nile, and, from her light draught of water, she will be able to sail up the " Father of Rivers" from the Delta till within twenty miles of the first cataract—in all, a distance of about 800 miles. We may add that these external gorgeous fitting will all be removed from the yacht before she sets sail, and that her hull, down to the water-line, will be covered to protect her from injury by the sea. Once out, however, a couple of d a y s w ill serve W reit Iterlis' *leo is destined to remain. Messrs. Tod and 'Macgregor, o f Glasgow, have been selected to undertake the entire contract of building and fitting up this gorgeous pleasure ship, which they have effected by securing the services of the most eminent artists in Great Britain and France. We have no doubt that these gentlemen could have sent out two magnificent ocean steamers with less trouble to themselves. But " sweet is pleasure after pain ;" their past anxieties will be consoled by the fact that they are the builders of the most splendid steam-yacht in the world. All the operations have been personally superintended on the part of his Highness Abbas Pasha, by Senan Effendi —a gentle man highly qualified for the task. He was one of 20 Egyptian youths sent to England in 1829 by the late Viceroy, Mehemet Ali, to acquire the English lan guage and the art of shipbuilding, which he did, partly in Portsmouth and partly in Sheerness dock yards, during a residence of nine years in the country. He returned to Alexandria in 1838, and filled an important office in the public dockyards there until dispatched, in September of last year, to superintend the construction of the Faid Rahn& STEAM-YACHT for the PASHA of EGYPT. The attention of the numerous visitors to the Clyde at this season has been attracted by a steam yacht lying in the dock of Messrs. Tod and Macgregor, the well-known steam-ship builders. The embellishments of this vessel, which will be ready for sea in a week, are of such a gorgeous character as to lead to the be lief that in this case the power of wealth and the in genuity of man could go no further. This steam yacht is intended for the use of his Highness Abbas Pasha, the Viceroy of Egypt, during his excursions upon the Nile, and as the " Faid Reber*" or "Di vine Favour," as she is named, is beyond all doubt the most brilliant steam-vessel ever fitted up, some short description of her may not be out of place before she leaves our shores for her ultimate destination. The Nile, in bygone times, has been associated with all that is magnificent in the material and construe • tion of her princely barges ; for speaking of the aquatic progresses of the beauteous Cleopatre, the historians tell us " that the whole poop of her ship flamed with gold ; the sails were purple, and the oars inlaid with silver, which kept time to the softest music. A pavilion of cloth of gold was raised upon deck, under which appeared the Queen, robed like Venus, and surrounded by the most beau tiful virgins of her Court, of whom some represented the Nereids and others the Graces. Perfumes burnt on the deck, which spread their odours to a great dis tance upon the river on each side of its banks, which were covered-with an infinitude of people ' -co tom - the' novelty of the sce ne h a d d rawn thither.' The bosom of the Nile is again destined to bear the most splendid vessel which the world has seen, propelled by steam power, and excelling in beauty and costliness the barge of the renowned Queen of Egypt -as far as modern art and science excel those of the ancients. To afford the usual statistics, we have to state that the Faid Rabane is a most exquisitely modelled little steamer of the following dimensions, viz. : Keel and fore-rake ••• ... 180 feet. Breadth of-beam... ••• . . 20 „ Depth of hold .. ••• ••• 9 If Draught of water • • 3 11 Power - of engines ... 150 horses. The ship is furnished with oscillating engines, has feathering paddles, and performs thirteen knots an hour without the slightest perceptible vibration. These engines are bright with brass and steel work, and are altogether finished with the same taste and care which a superior workman would use in turning out a gold watch. Although the vessel has an ordi nary escape pipe, it will not be used, for the steam will be blown into the water from the sides-of the yacht ; and his Highness and Court will escape those drenchings of condensed vapour which occasisnally make such havoc of ladies' dresses. She has three safety-valves, and a beautiful small brass donkey en gine, quite independent of the others, which is used• for supplying the boilers with wat er when the large engines are still. The principal features of this ship, however, are her interior furnishings and decorations, which, when completed, will realise all that has ever been dreamt of in connexion with Oriental splendour. Some no tion of the extent and magnificence of these fittings may be learnt from the fact that 500 men in Glas gow and elsewhere have been employed upon them for some time past, and are still working night and day. Here is all that is beautiful in the carver's and painter's art, and all that is gorgeous from the looms of Lyons and Spitalfielda. There are, in short, no fewer than 450 pictures, of separate subjects, set in frames, almost any one of which would adorn the drawing-room of a prince. To notice these decora tions, however, more in detail, we may state that from the main-deck the visitor enters his Highness's reception-room, which is in the poop—an apartment of unrivalled beauty, fitted up with the richest rose wood bulkheads, doors, &c , the panels of which are Bled with those beautiful pictorial designs, on papier =chi, to which we have referred, and set in the most elaborately carved and gilt frames. The di vans, which extend round the saloon, are covered with costly cloth of gold, from the front of which is suspended gold embroidered needlework, and mas sive gold bullion fringe ten inches its depth. Between the windows are a series of l)asatl e-alnittvAa Attire= cions stones, executed by the new patent gem-ena melling process. These are set in frames, carved in black walnut, and gilt in mat and burnished gold. The ceiling between the beams (which are of maho gany, French polished) is filled with designs of fruit and flowers on papier mache panels, enriched with gold border mouldings. Round each door are richly carved and gilt architraves and pilasters, all of diffe• rent designs, and representing various lovely floral combinations. Entering off the saloon on the starboard side, is his Highness's bed-room, which is fitted up in a corre sponding style of elegance and grandeur. On the lar board side is his Highness's dressing-room, similarly adorned; and adjoining these is the bath-room, the floor and sides of which are lined with marble. Round the windows are curtains of gold damask, edged with gold lace and fringes, surmo unted b y carved and gilt cornices, and valances of crimson silkvelvet , em broidered with needlework of gold ,with fuchsias, fringe, tassels, &c., all of the r arest gold manufacture. Enclosing e ve ry oor are also gold damas r a k curtains of aidifferent design, and all ofed ge hich the d with gold lace, w re are five, fringes, &c.

Some of the latter are painted in the act of killing of the bear and their prey, and o thers, especially monkey tribes, are thrown off in very comical atti tudes. It is worth while to notice that the human figure is not in any part introduced, as being con trary to the religious notions of the Orientals.

DAILY NEWS. —Our readers cannot fail to have rpeienacaerokfeidhttehleligcoenheetinuthaal appearancetmighthe ht in te our column s , mns, Theofa Cambridge University Commission s ha r d a meeting yes terday." The portio n o f our paper which contains t his ntains this reiterated announcement would be incomplete without it, and the number of yesterdays chronicled and to be chronicled threatens to be such as to promise to the Commission an age equal to that o f a Chancery suit under the venerable Eldon. Now, with all d ue respect to the Commissioners , they are losing their time. Th e evidence they will have in their power to bring f orwar d. will be, as the French have it, like mustard after dinner. The Oxford Commission has exhausted the subject. N o one after Mr. Stanley's able report need be at any loss for materials upon which a judgment may be founded on the University question. That report, and the evi dence which accompanied it, showed most clearly th a t . the present University government and administration is an undoubted usurpation, and in opposition to , all the principles which presided st the foundation, not only of the University, but of the Colleges. It showed that the University of Oxford was originally like all the other universities of western Europe, an association of teachers united only by mutual interest—that it chose its own legislative body and executive officers, its constitution being essen tially democratic. The report further showed, that when the University had acquired such distinction, as a place of education, as to make the participation in its advantages a matter of great desire, benevolent persons founded " houses of charity" where poor persons might reside while studying at the University town. That the lorleess in thesee..tes-eueeesdeflaasariestketir , to obserieeite a life of poverty and study, and to the performance of religious ceremonies which cannot now be performed. That a rigid rule of life was laid down. Further it was shown, that the value of the property left to these " houses of charity" increasing, the influence of the tenants for the time being increased also, and to such a degree that they were enabled to exclude all other teachers but themselves—in fact to absorb the Univer sity. The poor " houses of charity" have become rich colleges, sharing amongst them about 150,0001. a year derived from real property, and an enormous sum de rived from students' tees. They allow no one to come to the University unless as a member of a college, and thus convert a great national institution into a private establishment, managed for the benefit of a clique. Of course similar evidence will be brought forward against Cambridge. That University also will be proved to have fallen into the hands of the tenants of the ancient " houses of charity." It will be shown that democra -o°ll institutions have been revolutionised into oligar chical,—that large funds have been grossly misapplied,— and,in short, that Cambridge has not boon far behind Oxford in the work of destruction. All this evidence, it is clear, we might well spare; and the same might be said of the inferences to be founded on them, as Mr. Stanley's report contains nearly all that can be said upon the subject. In the meantime there is something left for the Commissioners to do which might well make their labours as valuable to the nation as those of the Oxford Commission. Although a little is said in the report of the latter body about the extension of the studies of the University, the question could not be gone into fully. Now—reform everything else in the Universities and leave the curriculum of studies alone, and you will have done bat little to wards nationalising the institutions. The nation will never be brought into sympathy with the Universities until the education there becomes national. The great learned men in England at the present day are not those who have edited Greek plays, or written Latin verse; they are those whose studies have resulted in flinging tubular bridges over straits, in bringing o ne portion of the island into closer connexion with another part by means of railways—in transmitting message: with the speed of lightning—in multiplying to an incalculable extent by means of machinPrLlutdk our resoni:e s e_ any of the foremost men in the country what is g lop man the necessary education of a distinevisee man of the present day, and he will et list of subjects any one of study and toil to master. these will the Universities recognise.

There is no reason why, up to a certain point, the Universities should not be prepared to instruct the 3 outh of the country in the whole encyclopaedia of science, ab stract and industrial. If this were the case, the students and professors of all branches of learning, scientific and practical, would be brought into close communion. The result would be something like an intellectual republic. There would be no aristocracy of the professors of one or two branches of learning. The spinner of Latin verses would be forced to recognise that his achieve ments were neither in kind nor degree superior to those of the man who had thoroughly mastered the know ledge of the principles of mechanical science. The skilful analyst would no longer arrogate to himself a university degree, to the exclusion of the discoverer of a new motive power. The possessors of intellectual might would be all brought closer together, however their pursuits might diverge, and the Universities would be elevated into the position they ought to oc cupy as interpreters, and in some sense directors, of the national mind. he - THE PEROZEPORE EMIGRANT SHIP. —Among the passengers who left this country for Australia in the Feroze pore, which sailed from the Down s on the 2d of July last, was a brother of a tradesman of Southampton. He took out with him two nephews, youths about fourteen and six teen yea rs of age, to seek their fortune in the golden country. Letters were received in Southampton, by way of Havre, from each of these three individuals on Saturday last. The followin is an extract from one of them : " Lat. 12.30 N., lon. 26.30 W. The Ferozepore, July 23, 1852. All well on board; no sickness whatever. We have passed several vess els from London and Liverpool, which left a week and a f or t n i g ht before us. We have ninety-eight passengers on board. Amongst them are Dl!ssrs. Moyle and Edwards, for merly officers in the West India Company's service, also Mr. Wilkinson, of Southampton, with a party of miners. We h a ve bad a rema rkabl y fine run, and have ever y prospect of a most prosperous voyage. In the Bay of Biscay we ran twelve miles an hour. In . the bay also a man was discovered concealed on board. He is now working his way out- We have seen plenty of . sharks. We are about six hundred miles north of the line, and have got apparently into a rainy quarter. We shall call at Brazil. The captain is go ing to try a new route. We have bread instead of bis cuit. Good French rolls are made on board every morning. ' Several passengers have falterers on board. There are two, however, .belonging to the ship.

In consequence of the numerous applications at the office of her Majesty's Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners in Park-street, Westminster, from arti sans and agriculturists for a passage to our Australian colonies under the Government regulations, the Com missioners yesterday concluded another contract for three first-class vessels for the conveyance of passengers to Victoria and New South Wales, either from Deptford or Plymouth, the ships to be ready to receive the emi grants as follows:—For Melbourne, on the 4th of Oc tober; for Sydney, on the 6th of October; and for Mel bourne, on the 11th of October. The following ships have also been contracted for to convey emigrants to the under mentioned ports during the current month :—For Hobart Town, on the Bth inst.; Perth, on the 13th inst.; Port Stephen (Sydney district), 15th inst.; and Adelaide, on t h e 20th inst.; to ta ke them on b oard at Dept ford, and touch at Plymouth. Last month the Commis sioners took up from 16 to 20 ships for Government emigrants, amounting to upwards of 3,500, consisting c hi e fly of agricultural labourers and a few mechanics of the trades most required in the colony ; also, a certain number of young single women of good character, who will be provided with situations immediately on their arrival. The present and next month will be the last the Commissioners will send out ships this year, although they have upwards ot . 20,000 applications entered on their books from n earl y every part f the country and different trades, so that they will be obliged to confine themselves to those most wanted by the colonists. Be sides the Government emigration there are from 25 to 30 vessels entered to sail in the course of this month from the St. Kitharines, London, and West and East India Docks, with fortune-seekers to the " Gold diggings." NEW IN VENTION .—In the early part of this year the barque Eos of Sunderland, Captain Bridges, in her pas sage to Ceylon, and about 1,000 miles from that port, found the water in the tank salt. owing to a leak from the p ump. The carpenter w as or d ere d to fi t wooden lids to the cooking coppers (holding four gallons each), with a plug in one as feeder, and also safety-valve —in the other lid, a common brass tap, from which he placed a musket barrel. Having cut off the breech, and placed the musket barrel within a pork cask filled with water, it acted as a condenser, and by that simple means they were able to distil 10 gallons a day, and distilled the whole 1,000 gallons—and thus were enabled to terminate their voyage in gcod health.
