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 Cemmittee of management, who stated that the object of the pro posed society was "to give a stronger impetus and more systematic 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 iu this city during the week commencing with the let of September. The past meetings have, by a judicious regulation of the society , b een held at various important places throughout the country, with a view to make known its existence and objects, 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 is 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, an a 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 fur 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 Rose, 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 1833—since which time, owing princi pally to the meetings of other societies which have emanated from 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 in successive years, the number of persons who have attended its meetings, and the favour with which it has been regarded by 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 resulting 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 some of the most important advances, both in the exact and natural sciences, have been made under the auspices, and frequently through th© direct instru mentality, of the society. One of the first of its ob 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 other wise 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, Enclsi, Forchammer, Humboldt, Jacobi, Liebig, Matteucci, Nilssen, Orated, Quetelet, Rogers, Sbutnacker, 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 to the motion of floating bodies. This led to the organization 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 recently drawn to the " wave principle ; and proba bly, now that its advantages have been practically demonstrated by another country, we shalt be more ready to carry out a principle, the theory of which is duo to our own. Luke Howard gave some valuable data in reference to our climate, and Lord Fitz william called attention to the import ance of statistical reports regarding agricul ture, which was confirmed by G. R. Porter, at the Birmingham meeting in 1839, in his "suggestions in favour of a systematic collection of the statistics of agriculture." This is a want which is now more than ever felt, but which can only be supplied by th e machinery of a Government. At the next meeting another illustrious foreigner (Agassiz) made known his views on the principles of classification of the animal kingdom. At the Bristol meeting, in 1836, Eaton Hodgkinson published his 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 ever the cold blast in the proportion of 1,024 to 1,000. The statistics of the iron trade speedily showed the effect of this discovery. The meeting at Newcastle was re markable, not less for the numbers that attended it than for the nature and importance of the subjects stillo f GfrAmongfollowing Great wB the irnitg e a s ieun up the brought before it. jl eedet bo notice Colonelh th is em magnetic g Sabine,n researches, e t ic s h ll aw r s V h e ao y i compiled omma o py object 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," and with which we have only quite recently been made familiar. The use and advantages of wire ropes for mining purposes was advocated 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 Owen's first report on British reptiles, and by a communication from Ed ward Forbes " on the distribution of pulmoniserous mollusca in the British isles," who subsequently, un der the auspices of the association, undertook the in vestigation of British marine zoology, and gave the first report of his valuable researches at the Swan sea meeting in 1848. Grove's voltaic battery was first made known at this meeting; while communications of a more directly practical tendency were made by Fox Talbot, on photographic processes ; b y Gossege, on the disc (a rotatory) engine . and by Eaton Hodgkinson, on experimental researches into the crushing points of dif ferent woods. The tenth meeting was held at Glasgow, at which some statistical papers created much interest, and tended greatly to establish that department as a distinct branch of political science, The papers generally had reference to local subjects, and Dr. Chalmers, in a communication, explained the application of statistics to moral and economic science. The first reports on the farina of Ireland, by the late W.

Tne ample area of the building was tolerably well filled, probably about 1,000 people being beneath its roof, the Lord- Lieutenant, the Esrl of .Eglintoun and his suite, with most of the leading men of the city and of the sur rounding districts joining in the proceed ings. The meeting was opened by Sir R. Murchison, who, in his representative capacity, took the chair, and in an eulogistic speech, based upon a quotation from a letter of the Astronomer Royal, relating to his successor, of whom be 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 representation of the British Association for the Ad vancement of Science," introduced the President elect to the me etin g . Colonel Sabine then read his address, w hi c h occupied about an hour and a ha lf in e xpressing his thanks for the honour delivery, and was we received by the assembly. He commence d by the association had conferred upon him in electing him as their presi dent, and then referred to the diffi culty he has felt i n selectin g 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 att ention to them all equally which their respective meri ts mi g ht 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 rived for again urging upon the Government the es iisnpgilemreir,rors, tablishment of an observatory in the southern hemis phere for the examination of the nebulae of the a re is f o er i r n ed re t f ( e ) southern heavens. The labours of Lord Rosse were and reference regardsce t o h which removes many of the obstacles which have so long stood in the way of the proposed establishment. In speaking of the advisability of a renewed applica istispelannofrotrherrnepahleismh tion to Government, the President observed, that all 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 two establishments of Armagh and M arkree, and the important publications now in progress of their labours,—viz., the Ili arkree Catalogue of Eclip tic Stars, and the Results of the Observations at Armagh Observatory. A lengthenedallusion then made to the remarkable discovery byProfessorwas Stokes of the change which, under . rr certainli circum stances, is effected in the refran •b gi 1 ity of h His researches took their • • origin from an unexplained phe nomenon, discovered by Herschel in 1845, who fou nd that a solution of sulphate of quinine viewed by trans mitted light appear e quite colourless, but if viewed by reflected light exhibit e d a vivid blue colour, which wa s proved by him to r esu lt from the action of the strata which the light first penetrates on entering the solu tion ; and the dispersion of light producing it he termed tc Epipolic dispersion," from the circumstance that it takes place near the surf ace by which the light enters. In speculating upon th e possible nature of " epipo lized light," Prof e ssor Stokes was led to conclude that it could only - b e light which had been deprived of certain invisible rays, which , in the process of disper sion, had changed their The truth and had thereby become visible. and surprising as it ate of this supposition, novel con firmed by a series of simple first adpeared, has been li a k nd decisive experiments, and Professor Stokes has ewise traced this prin ciple through a great ran and ha s defined a clear ge of analogous phenomena, ~d istinctiono r,, between " cases of false internal dispersionopalescence," in which the luminous rays are simply ' par ticles held in mechanical solution reflected from fine in the medium, and those of " true internal dispersion," . or " fluores cence," as he has termed it. The President next At the fifteenth meeting Sella te ; es - --a-n made known to us the existence of ozone, a mysterious agent which appears to play a very important part in the economy of the entire organic kingdom. Bunsen And Lyon Play fair gave a report on the glass evolved from iron fur naces with reference to the theory of smelting iron, by which it was shown that a saving might be effected per cent. on the BOY astonished and assembled sawn* akey his experimental extent of ordinary from u fi s f e t . y to eighty .delightedt o processes the e the of water in red illustrations of bodies, - andhis o t n h etobrey freezingr es p e lib g the spheroidal hot vessels; and Armstrong added to our knowledge of sources of electricity by the introduction of his powerful hydro-electric machine. Gutta percha, that curious condition of caoutchouc whose 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, app aren tl y co prolific, from the Red Crag. The Southampton meeting, in 1846, produced some valuable additions to our knowledge of applied science, a mong which were the communications by Percy on cry s t a lli ne Gags; by Schunk, on the colouring principles of madder ; and by Grove, on the decompositi on o f water by heat. Fauvelle explained to us his new method of boring for ertesian wells, especially applicable to great depths; and Fairbairn and Hodgkinson, respe c ti ve ly, gave their reports of experiments on the tubular bridge proposed by Stephenson for crossing the Menai Straits. Ilse remerkable action of sulphur on caoutchouc, forming the substance called " vulcanized India rub ber," was described by Brockedon ; and the no less curious substance, gun cotton, was first exhibit e d a t this meeting by SChriabein. have e eir respec tive continued their subjects. Ethnology and philology have received The succeeding meetings have been too recently before us to call for any particular remarks mor e tha n that ir rtehpeosretvseuraplonthe advances special committees considerable additions from the researches of Latham, Bunsen, Pritchard, and Hodgkin, while, of course, several other important matters have occupied the at tention of the different sections. Such are a few of the more prominent communications which have di rectly aided in the development of the scientific 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 1 1,1 f pa•paa,e to excite the interest of the general reader. Oa 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 had previously attended as casual visitors. From the education anti energy of the inhabitants of Belfast, we may fairly expect that the ensuing meeting will add to their numbers. Never was a time more aus picious. The result of our great industrial challenge in the past year must Lave dispell e d a n a _ g reAt. mea sure the false estimation we had placed upon our selves; it showed us clearly that on p o ints in which we thought ourselves strongest other nations were progressing far more rapidly than we were, and would speedily overtake us ; that human skill and appliances were rapidly lev el l i ng the barriers which nature had placed between us; an d th a t i n 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, should not be unheeded by us, but should show us not only the advantages/ but the necessity, of giving our warm support to s cience and its various applications. The business of the Association was commenced this day by the meeting of the general committee, which was held in Queen's College a t one raa , at which the m i nu t es o f th e last meeting at Ipswich were read and confirmed, the report of the proceedings of the council during the e past year received, and the various arrangements 'or the ensu i ng mee ting dis cutsed and determined. Sir It. Murchison took the chair, as the representative of the Astronomer ItaY al ' having been requested by hint to explain the ca use of his inability to attend, and render an account of his presidency in person. The assistant general secretary, Professor Phillips, F.R.S., then read the minutes of the last meeting, and the general secretary, professor Forbes Royle, F.R.S., gave the details of the transac tions of the council during the intermediate period. These transactions had refer ence c hi e fly to the suc cessful applications for grant s f rom th e Governm ent and Ent India Company to aid in the publication of scentific works by Drs. Rooker and Thomp son, Messrs. Huxley, Strachey, and Wi n terbo - thane ; and to the representati ons ma d e by them to the G overnmen t re s pecti ng th e i mportance of sending out ships to extend our acquaintance with the pheno mena of the tides of the Atla n ti c O cean .

The important researches on heat by Professor J. Forbes, by Mr. Joule, and Mr. Hopkins, were 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 Yaris, 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 Baits, the most northern of the Shetland Isles, would comprise more than 10 degrees, and as nearly half a century had elapsed since the and pub lished,f erorm ptohretionsssohcaid been association at com th pl e eted ßirming ham meeting in 1849 passed a resolution that a deputation should confer with the Master -General unexampled It n ra r p ig id in it a y te , d an in d to ea an of the Ordnance on the subject. This had the effect of accelerating the work,which is now in active pr ogress . The great arc of Eastern Europe has been in the meantime advancing hitherto unparalleled. e extent topographical surveys in Eithonia and Li v onia, and was commenced in 1816. The o p era ti ons , b o th geo mn desical and astronomical, have been completed be tween Ismail, on the Danube, and Fugleness, in Finnmarken, an extent of 25 1.3 d meridional degrees. The next in extent is the Indian arc of 21 deg. 21 minutes between Cape Comorin and Nali au ,; ; f and the third is the French arc already r eferred the; hope 12 deg. 22 min. The President expressed .s that the Government would speedily undertake the coas ts of determination of the tide-wave along the tidal Africa and South America by an Atlan. t _ l r e gona which expe dition, in accordance with the ooron3u,ani.°o:37 He then had been made to them by the associa ti on' referred of the referred to the important continua tion temperature at re searches of Professor Dove on the a t some length on the surface of the globe, and spi ke the proposition which had been ma de by the Govern ment of the United States for the co-operation of this country in a system of m e teorological observations to be made at sea by all ships in the naval service of 71' ,_ :0 . . ~..:7,,,_ '.. ,cti11,,,;----1-:--- ~,,, , i k r t , i.A ..---, '4(1(%" 7 --'-' P4 ti '''''' -, f ".; /c,Stb• 4 2 •., f . ,; .

The reqa€st for British co-operation in an undertaking so ho noura'o:,e to the country in which it originated was referro3 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 au echo in every part of the •Jongdow, and that it cannot fail to be promptly act(-d upon by the Government of a country in which maritime interests hold so prominent a place : " To the Government of this country the demand f. - :r co-operation and for the interchange of observations is 11105 t ets.vnu.ntly addressed by the Government of the United States; are; the Pr , sitient and CouLeil of the Royal Society express their hope that it will not he ad dr,„ea in va in. We possess in our ships of war, in our packot Ferviel, and in our vast commercial navy, better Int,iTta t.' it making such chservations and a greater inte rest in the results to which they lead than any (i=her nation; for this purpose every snip which is und er th e control .7,1 the Admiralty should be furnished with in struments properly constructed and cmpared, and with proper iastrustions for using them; similar instruction ior musing end recording o b serva tions, es far as their means w ill 5110, V should be given to every ship that sails , v , itb a request that they will transmit the results to the Hydro grapher's-offiee at the Admiralty, where an adequate staff of officers or others should be provided fur their prompt exam ina tion, and th e pu bli ca ti o n of the improved charts and sailing directions to which they woad lead; above all, it seems desirable to establish a prompt com munication with th e H ydrographer ' s o ffi ce o f t he 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." The President then made an allusion to the in creased chances of a communication existing between the Atlantic .and Polar—Qatrapsz At i3 . w , B s tr i t it e „. - through the discoveries due to the hardihood and in trepidity of our merchant seamen ' • and expressed his belief in the advantages likely to accrue from the expedition dispatched under Sir E. Belcher, to follow up the discovered traces of Sir John Franklia%, vessels. The next subject of importance referred to was the result of the Parliamentary Commit tee on Pensions to Scientific Persons, by which it appear s th at elasi - ons the sum granted annually in recompense o f civil se.-_ of vices, chiefly, though not exclusively, in literaturee and science, only about one-eighth of the wh o l e amount, or 13 per cent., had been allotted t o sc i ent ifi c 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. Hi n d, who has the unique distinction of being the dis coverer of no less than six out of the twenty-five planets; to Dr. Mantel!, so well known as 11 palmontologist ; 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 o f 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 11 o'clock. NAVAL IN TELLICrENCE. PORTSMOUTII, FRIDAY.--Highflyer, 21, Captain Matson, came into harbour under steam this morning, and was afterwards brought into the Angle Deck. We understand that she will have three feet added tc 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 berin is the Phaeton. We trust that the Highflyer will prove the firzt of a fleet of superior men of war, de signed by the gallant surveyor of the Navy, Sic Baldwin Walker, and his assistants,, Messrs. Ed.; and Watts, on whom the performances of the vessel .effect 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 of Smith's fleet, arrived at Spithead, to embark her passengers, this morning. She is 1,660 tons burden, pierced for 48 guns, and of s ufficient strength to carry that number along 32 •pounders. She is a re• markable man-of-war looking craft, built of teak upon the lines of her Majesty's screw guard-ship Blenheim, of 56 guns, new stationed at Portsmouth. She is reported to be a very fast sailing V essel. 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 eveni n g , and she sails to. morrow at daylight. It is satisfactory to see such a fine ship, and one so easily made available for war pur poses, iii the mercantile marine. This fine ship takes out, amongst others, a number of military gentlemen, &c., of the Hon. East India Company.'e service. Cap tain Edmund D. Byng (son of Admiral the Hon. H. D. Being), for several years A.D.C. to General Sir Charles Napier in India, Mrs• Byng, Lieutenant Gleig, Mrs. Gleig, and sister, See., will embark on board her this evening, for pass age to Bengal. Toe 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 wa s kept flying by the Victory and the steamers at Spithead till she anchored. She was taken for the Mxander, which is expected at Spithead from Chatham. The Termagant, 24, scre w -frigate, Captain G. Giffard, went out of harbour yesterday morning to try her speed, which was upw ards of nine knots an hour. The Inflexible, 6, paddle -sloop, Commander Wole rige, went out to Spithead this m orning ready for sea and to await orders. The Arrogant, 4G, 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. DRYONPORT, SEPT. 2.—Equestrian convict-ship, sailed yesterday with 294 convicts, for Hobart Town. Argus steamer returned from Portsmouth this day at noon. Hogue was commissioned yesterday by Captain Ramsay. Most of the officers have taken up their commissions for her.

The essential object of this.treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more missy an 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.

The celebrated singer, Madame Marietta Albon whose beautiful voice has no rival in the world, wi._ return very soon to Now York. She intends to give several concerts at the Metropolitan Hall in the begin ning of Sept ember, and we doubt not that her triumph will be as great as it was in all the principal European cities. Her success iu 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 sepettrance in our city. Miss Emma Fitzpatrick, of Drury-lane, " the belle of the British stage," and the only actress acknowledged in England as the representative of the gay and dashing high comedy parts, late the rival, and now the successor, in that devrtment of the drama, of the retired Mrs. Nisbett (Lady Boothby), 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 debut at Niblo's, on the 30th inst., as Letitia Hardy, in the Belle's Stratagem. Mdlle. do Melisse, of the Grand Opera , Paris, a d a nseusc who Is said to combine great artistic merit with extraordinary personal charms, is hourly expected by the Franklin, from Havre. She is engaged fur Niblo's. Sir William Don and one of the French ballet troupe, says the Memphis Express, were arrested on Thursday evening, after the performances at the Melodeon bad closed, by Sheriff Wiggins, on the charge of fraudu lently obtaining passage for that troupe on a Mississippi steamer, between New Orleans and Cincinatti. Ou 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 style, in every particular, and by the same artists, singers, ballet, orchestra, chorus, costume, as in Paris and London, for 60 or 80 nights subscriptions. Bair° is likely to be the conductor, or else Benedict, and probably Lumley will be the director. Jamcs Anderson, the tragedian, will, most likely, visit the United States again, for a term, to commence about November; his eneagements up to that time prevents his sailing earlier.— CHANGE or Comma IN Fau.—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 iu 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 of 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 tro u t are very muc h o f the same colour as the colourgrayelor sand on w hi c h t h ey li ve; whether this cha n g e of voluntary or involuntary act on the p art of the fish, a I leave it for Sporting in Sutherlandsl 17re. the scientific to determine.— Tne three Englishmen who have engaged to steer their course down th e D anube to Constantinople reached Vienna, the 29th ult.

Tee national vanity ef tic French exhales in dramatic show --that of the Irish in endless price's and giugiing Lyrics. No nation has ever received more of tart unde erved praise which the proverb truly informs us is satire in dis g uise. The instinct of Irish creicra liss usually led them to draw for the topics of their perm gyries on bright, vague, sod dazzling anticipations of the future, rather than on a retrospect of the unbending and unmanageable records of the past. Five years hence tee state of 'retell - 1 mey be prosperous and glo rious ; five years age it was &emit to paint it in any other colours than these of the blankest ruin and the blackest despair. Your negative is the very test psne gyrist When there is little good to be said of a thieg, one may, at any rate, assert or predict the absence of evil. Lord Eglintoun would probably have done more , eisely had he attended to these tirne-bonoured rules for the future, in his Belfast speech, and if, w hil e launching teeth i n to the boundless ocean of anticipations ho bed left the past . of „Ireland to out - regrets; arid the present-a our indignation. Tie time at which Lord Eglintoun sleeks is one little calculated to elicit words of exultetion and self-gratulation. The progiees of Belfast, to whatever causes attributable, is doubtless a topic en which the Viceroy of Ireland may expatiate with reasonable pride, whether it be due to the genius of Irishmen, to the pertinacity of lehistchuien, or, as Lord E g li n toun suggests, to a happy union of th e two. gut the very existence of this oasis at one extremity of Irish uesolatioe is in itself the severest censure on the land to the condition of which it effers so striking a e on _ trust. Why, ii it has been found possible to build such a hive of industry at Belfast, do the resources of the rent of the island remain comparatively undeveloped? Teem leg with natural wealth, blest with a temperate climate, possessing a boundless extent of waterpower, harbours unsurpassed in the world, and unrivalled geographical positiou, Ireland i s una bl e to support her population, unable to d eve l ope her natural resources, repels the capital which would willingly find investment with her, and casts forth her people to cultivate other lands en dowed by nature far Imunificently than her own. The p eop l e, Lord "8 mull are rl r ? Egentoun tells us, are quick of per ce p t i on, full thofey poor?—why genius, an serable thing. Why, th en, d fit for every- ? ? That wh Irelandare they shouldm i -why are th ey d e be what she is, i s no proot?r either apti tude of her inh a bit an t s , and that, r at of the genius or she can endure such g ross and fulsome being what she is, she ad from th© lips of her Vic eroy , i s no proof even quick ness of her perception. L or d F phrnotoof of the triumphantly that Ireland is a happy at ti i r d i has proved prosperous country. He has excluded every possible cause h of o failure, and we should therefore be glad t o see how his principles, he accounts for the fact that ehe is , d ( i ) s a contented, poor, and miserable. It is not th e f ault of the disposition of the people, for that we are assured is excellent, nor of the Government, for that we are told is Deneficent and impartial, nor of education, for tha s cannot be too highly commended. Where, then, i s that 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 en the singular infelicity with which Lord Eglintoun refers to the opinion of the Attorney-Goneral of James 1., that " there is no nation under the sun that does 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 etatement 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 defeadiug their lives from the murderous onslaught of the mob at Siamile bridge—a verdict which the organ of the very priests who led the attack is obliged to disclaim as untenable? In how many iustances have the ends of justice btea entirely defeated by this justice.loving people in the ury box, till it has come to be seriously questioned, whether those institutions which entrust the people with :he administration of the laws will ever take root in the country, and assimilate and incorporate into themselves he character of the nation? The Attorney-Generel of James I. might be pardoned for so utterly mieuppre elating the character of a semi-barbarous and stiteoet unknown people; but the additional experience of 250 sears should ve taught a very different lesson o the Lord-Lieutenant of Queen Victoria. Lord Eglintoun has shown that Ireland cannot be poor and miserable. So far from accounting tor the present state of things, he has triumphantly de ,eonstrated that it does not exist. We, on the other trend, 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 .ntroduced, and which aro used for any purpose rather than that for which they were ordained. But even civil discord and party spirit ate not inconsistent with the rise of a nation, and may stimulate in some degree its intellect and activity. The evils of Ireland are, we be iieve, to be traced primarily to none of these thing', 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 and 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 worthless amuse ments, and the labour of the poor occupied in the mys tery of planting and digging up a small plot of pots *OSS. Once having established it as a principle that liscomfort with idleness was better abundance procured by labour, the peasant lowered his standard of living to a degree which rendered further redaction impossible. How could a country fail to be miserable when rich and poor united in the same prac tice of enjoying the day that passed over them. and leaving the m orrow to take care of itself? Cspital could not exist in a country where there were no savings. Without capitol there could be no improvements, and without improvements no means of support for rapidly increasing population.
