On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS. (An Essay for 1846.) " Of human ills and frailties I discourse, Those taught by nature, and by art acquled. Of griefs conceal'd, and disappointments keen, Which young and gentle, the matured and sage, The lonely and the mated—all sustain. In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n, How health, how hope, how happiness to gain." 3. WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID ; With Diet Tables for all Complaints. Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil feelings, a good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob servance of the instructions herein contained, the feeble, the ner vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach In health the full period of life allotted to man. " How we sho'tld live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health fall threescore years and ten." 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 matters,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 owu organization, the laws whereby our existence 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 falthflfily imparted, health will be found to be in our owes keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to eurselves, we secure tho like 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.

THE QUEEN DOWAGER. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) RAMSGATE, JuNE 16.—Her Majesty the Queen Dowager and suite arrived here by special traits this afternoon, at one o'clock, en route to Ostend, for which purpose the Admiralty yacht Black Eagle had been placed at her disposal. The first intimation of her arrival was given to the public by the hoisting of the royal standard on the church, an,4 a salute of twenty-one guns from the pier, and shortly after the royal party proceeded to the yacht, which was lying at the mouth of the harbour, both piers of which were crowded with spec tators anxious to catch a glimpse of their transient visitor. The Garland mail-packet departed wills the carriages two hours before her Majesty, so as to be in readiness for her at Ostend. James Macgregor, Esq., chairman, Pendell, Esq., M.P., Vis count Torrington, and other directors of the South-Eastern Railway, were in attendance upon her Majesty while on her journey from London. The traffic between this port and Ostend is still on the increase, the number of passengers and carriages In and out from the Ist to the 14th of this month, being, of the former, 846, and of the latter, 20, with the prospect of a still larger increase.

SENTENCE ON THE SELF-CONFESSED ROBBER AND MURDERER.— SINGULAR CASE.— William Henry Norman, aged 26, described in the calendar as a labourer, was indicted for stealing gold and silver moneys to the value of ROL, the property of Wm. Hoof, his master. Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution. The prisoner on being arraigned pleaded guilty, and handed In a paper to the bench, which was read by the Common Sergeant to the Court. It ran as follows :—" That your humble petitioner, in plead ing guilty to the offence with which he stands indicted, wishes the Court to take into consideration, that he was not a responsible agent at the time of committing the act, and that in committing that and (Alter crimes, he does but follow the path of destiny marked out for him. As, however, such crimes should not go un punished, he begged to make three propositions to the bench. The first was, that he (the prisoner) should play the Learned Judge a game at billiards, a hundred up the board. Secondly, that he should play him a game of draughts, best two out of three. Thirdly, he should play him either at chess or cricket; that if prisoner was the winner lie was to be set free, and if on the con trary, he was content to be hanged by the neck on the following morning till he was dead." Whilst this extraordinary petition was being read, the prisoner kept grinning and staring about the court in an apparently demented state. The Common Sergeant inquired of several of the officers, and also of Mr. Cope ,the governor of Newgate, under whose surveillance the prisoner has been, whether there was any ground for thinking him insane? They all said decidedly not. Mr. Clarkson then went on to state to the Court thefacts connected with the case, which, as they have been so fully and recently before the public, we give in as brief a form as possible. The prosecutor was a builder at Kensington, and the prisoner a clerk in his employ. In the early part of the present year he was sent with the sum named in the Indictment to make a payment on behalf of his master, with which he absconded. lie then addressed him a letter, stating that he was an illegitimate outcast in society, going inio a detail of robberies he had committed, and that he had taken part in several murders ; and that on one occasion he had robbed the Custom-house in Calcutta, where he had a situation as clerk. Seve ral of the robberies he confessed to as having been committed in Eng land were found to be true. Some time subsequent to the robbery on ➢ir. Hoof, he was met In Liverpool by a gentleman who knew him in the Custom-house in Calcutta, and he gave him in custody for the robbery committed there, and he was taken before the police authorities at Liverpool, who, having heard of the robbery committed on Mr. Hoof, at once sent him up to London, and the charge of rob bing the Custom-house at Calcutta was abandoned, in consequence of the difficulties of gaining a conviction. The CommoN SERGEANT sentenced him to seven years' transporta tion, observing that if there was any ground for supposing him in sane, there would be ample time to discover it before he left New gate; and then the sentence could be reversed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-STREET. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—James Young, a young man of stylish appearance, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged on suspicion of having picked the pocket of a lady at the Cambridge station of the Eastern Counties Railway. Samuel Davey, one of the railway officers, stated that while on duty at the above station, shortly after the arrival of the two o'clock train from London on the preceding afternoon, he received in formation that one of the lady passengers, who had just gone on with the train to Norwich, had been robbed of her purse in the refreshment-room, and the prisoner, whe had come up in the same carriage, was pointed out as the person suspected. Witness accordingly kept a strict watch upon his movements, and observed that he never once left the premises uLtil the return train to town was about to start, when, upon being asked if he intended to travel by it, the prisoner replied in the affirmative, and produced a second-class ticket. Directly afterwards, however, he got into a first-class carriage, and on being cautioned by the witness that he had entered the wrong vehicle, the prisoner denied that such was the case, and exhibited another ticket for the first-class. The train then started, and the witness, who had previously observed the prisoner leave one of the private recesses, proceeded to search it, and having discovered there an empty purse, he instantly communi cated the fact, and a description of the prisoner's person at the office of the electric telegraph, with directions for their transmission to London, that the prisoner might be secured on his arrival, William Henry Frenc:i, a clerk at the Shoreditch terminus, de posed to having received the telegraph announcement In little more than half a minute after it had been made at Cambridge, so that on the train reaching London about three hours subsequently, lie gave orders tor the prisoner's apprehension. Poliee-constable Lee, G 177, stated that he received charge of the prisoner, who exhibited the utmost confusion on hearing the nature of the charge, and upon searching him at the station-house, a lady's gold watch, together with two sovereigns, some silver, and a penknife were found in his possession. He was subsequently confronted with Hereington, an officer of the detective force, who Instantly recognised him as an accomplished member of the " swell mob," and stated that he was well known on the other side of the water. Mr. Games, who attendeded for the prisoner, submitted that there was no evidence whatever to establish the accusation, but Mr. BiNowans considered the whole of the prisoner's conduct was so rife with suspicion that he felt it his duty to remand him for the production of further evidence, but he had no objection to accept bail far his appearance, himself in 1001. and two sureties in 501. each. INQUEST ON THE HON. COL. BUTLER, M.P.—Yester day, Mr. Carttar held an inquest at the Ordnance Arms, York-road. Lambeth, on the body of Colonel Butler, aged 72, M.P. for Kilkenny. Richard Green, a police-constable, deposed that on Saturday night last, whilst on duty at Astley's Theatre, he went, being requested, to the house where the deceased resided, in York-street, and found the door of the back room, on the first floor, locked from the inside. Having forced the door, he discovered the deceased partially sitting upon a chair, and his head reclining upon some linen. He was quite dead, and had his clothes on. Witness noticed a bottle of medicine standing on the mantel-piece, but nothing indicating that he had taken any deleterious mixture. Mrs. Eliza Fernanday said that the deceased had regularly resided in her house for several years, during the period he had to be in town, to attend to his Parliamentary duties. She saw him last alive on Saturday at noon ; he then appeared more composed than he had been during the previous day. An hour prior, he was seized with a shivering sensation resembling the ague.

They all went away well together, and at a very rattling speed. After a few strokes. Yellow showed a slight lead, all the rest being in a cluster. White and Red then made play, and having challenged Yellow, the latter fell into the third place for a moment, and were then displaced by Light Blue, but the whole of the boats continued very near to each other. Yellow, however, was not so easily disposed of, and off the Red House had a dashing spurt with Light Blue, whose No. 2 had snapped his stretcher. A smart race between the first and second boats, won by half a length only; the third boat a length astern of the second. The match was well attended. CAUTION.—A correspondent states that it may not be generally known that a law is still unrepealed, which was passed very many years since, for the protection of the brass button trade, and which makes it a fineable offence to manu facture buttons of silk, cloth, &c. Taking advantage of this Act, a person has been hard at work endeavouring to extort , money by threats of action. Amongst others, he has called upon the Messrs. Nicoll, both in Regent-street and Cornhill, who are most extensive manufacturers of buttons, covered with Llama cloth, for their registered Paletot, and whom, if liable, are so to an enormous extent. The Messrs. Nicoll have, however, expressed their determination to resist to the uttermost, and thus put the question at rest, should the movers in it carry out their threats. EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION AT BERMONDSEY.—Last night, between ten and eleven o'clock, a very extensive fire broke out in the premises belonging to Messrs. Bayly and Son, sail-manu facturers. at Bermondsey -wall. The discovery was made by Ser geant Middleton, of the M division. An unusual glare of light, In the upper floor of the building, convinced the officer that the place was on fire, and not many minutes elapsed before the flames shot through every window, and for dearly an hour the reflection of the conflagration could be seen from the most distant parts of the metropolis. Engines from the London establishment, with Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent; the West caf England, with Connorton ; as well as the parish engines, arrived in quick suc cession. The tire, however, had assumed a most alarming aspect, for not only were the whole ralrge of premises where it com menced completely enveloped, but a spacious wooden bridge, ex tending across the street, was also blazing away with gre:,t fury. At first it was feared that the contiguous grana ries of Messrs. Begbie and Co., and Messrs. Somers, would have also fallen a prey to the flames. The water obtained from the mains in the road was found inadequate to feed the whole of the engines ; the powerful float from Rotherhithe was, therefore, moored up, and set to work. The premises abutting upon the river the firemen were enabled to discharge copious streams from the float into the midst of the flames, and with the assistance of the land engines, the fire was subdued by one o'clock. By that hour Messrs. Bayly's front build ing was nearly gutted, and the adjoining premises severely damaged. The origin of tile ire could not be ascertained. The police, under Inspector Froud, had a most difficult task to perform, in keeping the many thousand spectators out of the reach of danger. CAUTION TO LADIES.—We have received the follow ing statement from a lady who le well known to us, and on whose veracity we have the fullest reliance : — Having occasion, one day during the past week, to purchase a parasol, she went into one of the large drapery establishments in St. Paul's Churchyard. Several ar ticles of this kind were shown her. She purchased one, and pro ceeded down Ludgate-hill, when, to her great dismay, else found one of the linendraper's most expensive parasols dangling from the chain of her watch, and partially covered by her shawl. It was evident ' that the hook of the parasol had accidentally got entangled in the chain while standing at the counter. She at once hastily returned to the shop and gave back the article. Fortunately it had not been missed, and, as far as this transaction Is concerned, the matter ended. But suppose this expensive article had been missed, and the lady fol lowed, and, as inuet have been the case, the property found OR her person, no evidence could have been adduced by her to rebut the charge of felony. It would have been sufficient for the prosecutor to have sworn that this particular article was his, and had been ex hibited for sale to the lady in question, and found wanting when she left the shop to have justified a conviction. One can hardly nt plate the extent of misery that this char ge , even to say nothing conviction, would inflict on a respectable family and we give pub of licity to the circumstance, by way of caution to our fair readers, on the one hand, but more particularly to show that a train of circum stances, however apparently conclusive, are not at all times to be implicitly relied on. — Times. SPAIN.— ACCIDENT TO MONTES, THE BULL FIGIITER.—A private communication from Cadiz, received at Bayonne on the llth inst., has the following:—" I d ca iz nnotclose my letter without acquainting you with an incident which has filled Cadiz with wonder and consternation. This afternoon, the cele brated torero, or ball-fighter, Montes, called, par excellence, in this country, La primera espada de Espana,' that is, The first sword of Spain,' was caught by a bull in the circus, and wounded so badly that the doctors, who are always in attendance during these dangerous pastimes, immediately pronounced his case as desperate, and extreme unction was forthwith administered to him in the am phitheatre. What makes this accident the more deplorable is the fact, that Montes, who, besides the extreme popularity he has ac quired as a torero, is Universally esteemed for his sterling pr ivate qualities, retired f rom the bull-ring two years ago, but aas preva upon, much agai ns t hi s will, to exhibit his prowess before the Frenchiled to le Princes at Pampeluna last August ; 'and now, once more 3* Id the enthutsiastic p rayers of his admirers, he has, I victim to his good nature in the eleventh hour.

A hundred pronunciamentos might take place, and new constitutions be proclaimed, without creating such a sensation as the death of Montes would cause throughout Spain." 11 DEATH FROM A coup_DE SoLEIL. — .

What the author of these volumes had commenced in his previ ous p u bli cat i on, h e h as completed in these Eastern Travels—namely, a copious biography of Lady Hester Stanhope, the beautiful, accomplished, and ec centric niece of William Pitt. IVe conceive that in so I doing he has discharged himself of a very important duty which he owed to his contemporaries and posterity. For it is precisely from works of this description that we obtain the most correct notion of those domestic re lations which not unfrequently influence the political movements of statesmen, and change the whole condi tion of an empire. It is from the memoirs of Sully that we glean our most correct knowledge of the otherwise hidden machinery of the Government under Henry the Fourth ; it is from the autobiography of Madame de Maintenon that we peer into the secret chambers of the French Court under Louis the Fourteenth ; it is from the remarkable scholarship of Anna Comnena that we obtain the principle portion of our information respect ing the Byzantine empire under her brother, the Em. peror Comnenus. Indeed, it we survey history from the most ancient to the most modern periods, we shall invariably find that our truest guides to the' actuating sentiments of a legislator are discoverable, not in state documents, not in official statistics, not in dry debates, but in those lively, anecdotal, and almost flippant bio graphies which are given to the world by the minor Rotors in the great scene—by men or women who have associated in familiar life with the more dis- Agnished personage. Hence it was that the pre• vions publication respecting Lady Hester Stanhope— though crammed with ridiculous exhibitions of her vanity, and prurient with frivolities—possessed never theless an importance, and attracted an attention en tirely apart from the literary merits of the composition or the personal character of the heroine. Every one turned very naturally to such volumes for some glimpse of the Prime Minister in his morning gown and slippers; they expected to hear the great orator chatting about his opponents over the tea board; they yearned to listen to his views of contemporary legislation and contempo rary legislators, when incited to freedom of remark by the abandon of social conversation. Nor in these ex pectakrons were they altogether disappointed: much as we might have experienced a feeling of annoyance at the interminable harping-upon-self in his niece, we ex perienced pleasure notwithstanding at the casual peeps we thereby obtained of the renowned. Premier. In the travels, however, which conclude the memoirs of Lady Hester, we are compelled to give ourselves up entirely to the romance attached to that fair adventurer. Pitt has spoken his last harangue, has plotted his last in trigue; Pitt has drawn his last sad breath in solitude, in desolation, and almost in obscurity; the great Minis ter, whose mandate was so recently the guiding voice of the anti-Napoleon monarchs, is rotting unremembered in his coffin. Lady Hester Stanhope discovers that the talisman which has hitherto obtained her so much adu lation (viz., Influence 0 is for ever shivered into atoms. Her heart aches with a feeling of disappointment, and of pensiveness, and of unusual tranquillity. She re solves to dissipate her moodiness by going in quest of adventures, and to distract her memory by visiting foreign countries. The consequence of this resolve is, her migration with a suitable suite (among whom is the writer of the narrative) to the land of the Orientals. Of her singular mode of life in that remote region there is assuredly no Englishman but has listened to some gossip, or who has had his curiosity excited by mysteri ous inuendoes of her magnificence, her loneliness, her hospitality, and her munificence among the Musselmen. That curiosity may be fully and elaborately appeased by the three volumes just published by the anonymous physician of the expedition. His descriptions of the rather uncleanly inhabitants of Syria, of the somewhat unprepossessing females, of the - singular customs of the people, of the scenery and of the various cities, are peculiarly lively and as peculiarly graphic: The book is better than a score of ordinary novels for interest, and is preferable to a thousand works of travel for the truthfulness of its delineations. We only regret when the author forsakes the beaten track of his subject to meddle in matters upon which he only betrays his ignorance. For example, he mentions an hospital at Jaffa, " which is said to have been the grave of many Frenchmen poisoned by Buonaparte, when he raised the siege of St: Jean d'Aere." Here is the old trumpery libel raked up again, and actually thrust upon the credulity of the reader, after the charge has been su elaborately refuted by Las Cases, O'Meara, Savary, Hazlitt, and even by Sir Sidney Smith himself, whose silence alone would have constituted its triumphant re futation. For the satisfaction of' those who may be inquisitive in such matters of costume, we transcribe the following description of Lady Ifese , r Stanhope's eastern dress:— "In addition to her more splendid habiliments, Lady Hester had, whilst at Cairo, procured a travelling 111arnehihe dress. It consisted of a satin vest, with long sleeves, open to the bend of the arm, which reached to the hips only, and folding over at the chest was attached with a single button ( at the throat and waist; over this again she wore a red cloth jacket, in shape like a scanty spencer, with short sleeves, and trimmed with gold lace. The trousers were of the same cloth, gorgeously embroidered with gold at the pockets, as well before as behind. They were large 4nd loose, a s i s th e fashion in Turkey, and, w h en worn, formed, by their nume rous folds, a very beautiful drapery. Over the whol e , w h en on horseback, she wore the burnooz or white-hooded cloak, the pendent tassels and silky look of which gave great ele gance to her figure. The turban was a Cashmere shawl, put on with the peculiar fuluess which the Mamelukes affect in their head-dress, and which is very becoming. This dress, as far as regards the sherwals (or trousers), which (were of the same colour as the jacket, is peculiar to Egypt: for throughout Syria the sherwals are almost always blue, and generally dark. But this Egyptian costume was more proper for her ladyship, because hersaddle and bricUewersEgyptian; being of crimson velvet embroidered in gold." As some palliation of what might otherwise appear like indecorum, we give the author's account of the lady's reason for abandoning the habiliments more suited to her sex:— "It will be thought by many persons, that Lady Hester Stanhope violated too far the regard due to her sex in the resolution she now adopted of equipping herself as a man, and as a Turk. But let it be recollected that she had lost everything in the shipwreck, and that even the cities of the Levant, had she been in one, had neither milliners nor mantua-makers, who understand how to make European female-dresses, nor materials for them, could she have made them herself. The impossibility of getting what she wanted was therefore so evident, that she unavoidably made choice of the Turkish costume, in which the long robes, the turban, the yellow slippers, and pelisses, have really nothing incompatible with female attire." Nor can we refrain from entertaining the reader with a very gorgeous narrative of eprocession of the Sultan at Constantinople. It runs (the narrative, not the pro cession) thus : "Firit came some dozens of water-carriers, who bore skins of water across their backs, with which they laid the dust as they advanced. On the right and left of the street was a double file of janissaries. Bostangis, with knotted whips, kept the crowd fronfpressing on the procession. Next to the water-carriers came a group of nondescript persons; grooms to hold horses, servants to unrobe their effendis or masters, and other hangers-on or attendants of great men. After these, upon a finely caparisoned horse, surrounded by a dozen valets on foot, followed a fierce-looking Turk, with a black beard ; and I and my companion exclaimed, Here comes the Sultan :'—it was only his coffee-bearer We made the like remark at a second, and a third ; but they were his stool, sword, and pipe-bearers, who, with the emblems of office in their hands, passed in succession. "The surprise which the splendour of these inferior officers of the palace excites is increased, when the Captain Pacha, the Reis Effendi, the Kakhya Be)', and the Grand Vizier, pass muffled in pelisses worth 200/. each, wearing in their girdles hangers or daggers studded with diamonds, and mounted on horses almost sinking under the weight of gold housings. Our ideas were confused by the magnificence which we saw displayed. And now, on a sudden, the crowd, which had been noisy and making their remarks on the scene before them, was hushed. A solemn and really an awful silence prevailed, whilst only low whispers were heard that the commander of the faithful was near. Every Turk immediately folded his long robe over his breast, crossed his hands before him, dropped his head on his bosom, and, in a tone of voice just audible, prayed Allah and Mahomet to preserve the perpetuity of the royal race. Our object was curiosity, and we looked eagerly for the Sultan,, but could hardly obtain a glimpse of him. His person, too sacred to be gazed on, was almost hidden by the lofty plumes of feathers of the attendants who surrounded him, each of whom wore a vest of glittering stuff representinigaurcevsplinenudstenasst armour, o t u h r e , i h n i s eangdi imagining ngcretshteed ghoerglmeeots housings, s t u d ded with rubies, raenaddon er emeralds, and other precious stones, on a ground of gold, that covered the Sultan's horse, which was a milk-white congratulate the author stal vf lio e n." himself a responsibility..namely , know ledgefrom m othfecircumstances which possibly havingh e s hould exclusiveno sot be be kn t world.

BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY—His Serene Highness the Paella has again been busily engaged to-day in further Inspection of the manufac tories of this town. Accompanied as yesterday, he started forth this morning, and first visited the extensive brass foundry of Mr. H. Smith, the worthy mayor of the town. After which he proceeded to the rolling mills of Mr. C. Clifford, the ponderous machinery of which, and the pur poses for which it is applied, seemed fairly to astonish his Highness. A small piece of metal, about the eighth of an inch in thickness, and about two inches in length, was rolled to the length of about two yards, and so pleased was the Pacha with the operation, that he asked permission to retain the piece of metal, which was of course granted. The Government gun-barrel proof house next attracted the atten tion of the party, and his IlLhness listened to the volleys of fire arms that were being proved as though he was, or had been, well accustomed to the sound. The Britannia nail works was also visited by his Highness, who not only takes a cursory glance at the machinery, but thorouchly observes its action and the adaptation of the various parts. His Highness and party, having returned to the Royal Hotel and partaken of lunch, left that place about three o'clock in the afternoon, and visited the extensive show-rooms and manufactory of Mr. Westley Richards, whose fowling-pieces are so well known over the world. The process of gun-barrel making was next shown ' to his Highness, at the extensive works of Messrs. Sergeant, who were honoured with a similar visit by his Royal Highness Prince Albert when he was in Birmingham. One of the greatest curiosities to his Hight... appeared to be the, working of Mr. Farmer's patent portable rotary pumps and fire-engine, nit action of which was de scribed by the patentee at his manufactory in Broad-street, who also exhibited a highly-finished model pump, of small dimensions. During the visit his Highness also Inspected the extensive screw manufactory of Mr. James James. This evening the party dine at the .Royal Hotel, and will to-morrow, pay a visit to the extensive Soho wont; of Messrs. Boulton and Watts. at Hansworth, about three miles from this town, after which they will proceed to the London steel works, which are situated at the adjoining village of Smethwick. The Gospel Oak _lron Works, in the neighbourhood, will, it is expected, receive a visit from his Highness, who, according to present arrangements, will return to Birmingham to-morrow evening, and again leave on tile following morning for Manchester, and after inspecting tile cotton factories, &c., proceed on his tour northwards. IBRAHIM . PACIIA IN A WHALE'S BELLY. An amusing incident occurred during the Paella's peregri nation yesterday ; there happens to be at this moment in Bir mingham the skeleton of a large whale on view, at the price of a penny a head. Ibrahim saw the long line of caravans in which this animal is contained, and he paid it an impromptu visit. The show. man received his Highness at the door, and conducted him with all gravity into the whale's belly, where lie suddenly slipped away and could not be found. The official conductors of the Prince were wholly at a loss to explain the different parts of the huge creature, or to show him the way out again, and a search for the showman was instituted, when he was discovered outside his caravan beating a large gong and blowing a trumpet, bawling at the top of his lungs, when not occupied with his musical instrument, "Now's your time, ladies and gemmen, walk up, walk up, Ibrahim, King of Egypt, and all his officers, are at this moment in my whale's belly, and can't find their way out without me." The fellow's ingenious device (for he doubled his charge at once) brought so large a crowd that the Pacha and his attendants were fain to make their exit at the whale's vent, as the ordinary entry was too much blocked up for him to be able with convenience to escape as he had come in. DEPARTURE OF THE GRAND DUKE CONSTANTINE. Warsaw, 22, Princ e M oscow, 20, put to sea this morning from Spit- PORTSMOUTH, JUN E 15 . —The Russian ships Ingermanland, 74, head, bound to :St. Petersburgh, and by noon were clear of the Nab light vessel. Her Majesty's steamer Comet was sent by Admiral Sir Charles Ogle to attend them to St. Helen's, and bring on shore any letters or dispatches which the Grand Duke Constantine, or Vice-Admiral Lutke, might have to send. The Baron Brunnow and the Count de Berg left the A dmiralty-house, in the Dockyard, soon after breakfast, and returned to London. The dinner on board her Majesty's ship Tictory, given by the cap tains and ward-room officers of that ship, the Excellent, Eurydice, Victoria, and Albert yacht, and Seaflower to the Russian officers, was attended by the capt a i ns of their ships, and nine or ten others, but neither the Grand Duke, the Russian Ambassador, the Vice-Admiral, or the Secretary were present. About eleven o'clock, the greater part of the officers adjourned to the King's-rooms, on Southsea Beach, to the soiree, where they were met by upwards of 100 ofladies and gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood, and the dancing was kept up until two o'clock this morning. The Comet steamer was appointed to attend on the Russian officers, and bring them into the harbour, and take them out again to Spithead. And for the marked attention which they h ave experienced from the officers of the public departments, they have expressed their thanks. The Fairy steam yacht is expected this day from Woolwich, to be ready to convey her Majesty and the Royal Family to Osborne House. The Contest, 10, was commissioned this morning by Lieutenant Geary, for Commander 3P.Murdo. Commander J. C. Hoseason went to Plymouth this afternoon, to commission the Inflexible, at that port. fhe following officers are appointed to her : —Lieutenant G. C. Fowler, W. E. A. Gordon, and E. Blankley. The Nautilus brig came in from Shoreham yesterday, to replenish provision and water, and is the only vessel at Spithead. IBRAHIM PACHA AND HIS DOCTOR'S BILL.—It is ge nerally known that Ibrahim Pacha spent a few months in the south of France for the benefit of his health, and that an eminent medical man, Dr. Lallemant, left his practice for a considerable time to attend on the son of Mehemet Ali. Nothing was arranged as to the fees or the salary of the M.D. until two or three days before Ibrahim Pacha was to leave Paris, and then he sent 50,000 f. (2,0001.) to Dr. Lalle mant. This sum was not considered satisfactory by Dr. Lallemant, who had been building castles with the munificent sum he expected from the Pacha; and he therefore respectfully submitted that he con ,idered his fees should be estimated at 200,000 f. (8,0001.) It was a source of great vexation to Ibrahim to have undervalued the services of Dr. Lallemant, but yet he did sot make up the donation named, but sent 4,0001. more to the learned physician, who then declared himself satisfied with the total received, videlicet 6,000/. THE DEBUTAN;;;.---This new and piquant story of the day is now generally considered one of the best works of fiction which Mrs. Gore has yet produced. It has all the brilliant wit and pointed sarcasm of her former works, but its merit is not confined to light sketches. We can assure our readers that there is a terrible morale at the bottom of the story. Heartlessness brings its punishment. Vice its just reward. The inevitable fruits of a marriage du con venance, where there is no principle to guide either party, and no suitableness in point of years, have never b een more tbrcibly painted than in the ill-fated union between the De butante and Lord Mortayne, " the withered Lovelac e , th e o ld memorandum book of other womens follies," to whom the fair Eleanor confides her fate. How the fate of this unhappy couple works itsclf out; how Lady Alicia, " with her cold manner, her head cooler, and her head coldest of all," finds out, after one short year, that happiness cannot be secured by the most successful dinners, or sympathy b y any one unable to offer kindly sympathy in return —our readers must learn for themselves. Of two things we feel sure that they will feel the same pleasure that we have done in the fate of Lord Clandon and Maria Brenton, the two sterling characters in the book.— Weekly CT roniele. TiE RUSSIAN TARIFF.—The announcement in the Times this morning respecting a contemplated change In the Russian tariff caused a good deal of conversation in the City. Although the concessions proposed are of a nature to attract general attention, they affect so nearly the trading interests of the north of Europe, as to become the sole topic of discu-sion in the immediate circles con nected with that branch of business. Any relaxation of duties that could be secured to our merchants from the Government of Russia would be gratefully received by those interested in commerce with that part of the world. It was believed in most quarters some few months ago that so soon as our own modified tariff was In a degree developed we might look for - some reciprocity from continental neighbours ; but the public were scarcely prepared for such extensive reductions as it seems are likely to follow the establishment of th e p resen t tables of the dUtieS of the United Kingdom. The only f ear part i es engaged in the Russian trade express is, that the chan ge may b e so sudden as to interfere with the business of the season at St. Petersburgh, now, it w ou ld appear, in full activity. If the change sh ou ld turn out to be prespec live, instead of immediate, they will be muc h better satisfied, as in that case they stand in a position to be p re p ared for the alteration coining Into operatien either before or at th e commencement of the c of the Ito o tdhitioaisattot as it of t t may,h we can saf e l y vouch that Russian tariff on th e prin ciple explained has everywhere given satlsfaction.—Times City Article.

I beg to hand you enclosed a letter from Mr. Span ' genburg to Mr. Taylor, dated 24th instant. The results of this first trial on 58 quintals of ore, it will be seen, are very satisfactory ; we are now makieg preparations to increase this establishment for reducing a larger quantity. In the first trial the process proceeded very slowly, but Mr. S. hopes to be able to overcome this ; it will, however, still be necessary to augment the num ber, and put up larger tines than those at present in nse. A great number of people in this neighbourhood have aexiously watched these trials, and I believe nearly all parties are of opinion that it will very soon supersede all other methods of reducing silver ores in this country. Considering such may pos sibly be the case, I am hesitating with respcct to the completion of the sixteen new barrels proposed to be erected at Sanchez. Nothing, however, will inter fere with the speedy erections of the water-wheel, and if this new beneficio should be found to answer better than the barrels, we might th en a tt ac h 20 or 24 stamp heads to the wheel, thus increasing the quantity by water, instead of by mules, as proposed at present. In order, however, to avoid being thrown much out of our calculation with respect to this hacienda, I have given instructions to continue the works now in hand for the barrels, which will not cause much extra expense, even supposing the wheel should eventually be used for grinding instead of working the barrels. I noticed in my letter of last month that the grinding power at Sanchez, when the additional arrastres are completed, would be equal to about 560 cargas per Week ; hut if the 16 barrels now in hand are completed, and discharged twice instead of once in each 24 hours, we shall require nearly double that amount of grinding, for which means must be devised hereafter. By Mr. Woodfield's letter to Mr. Taylor, dated the 24th instant, you will perceive that the returns from itegla patio of last month were considerably less than the estimate, Mr. Woodfield having deemed it expedient to delay the washing of .1 or 4 tortos, in consequence of their not being properly rendido, but which, in the earlier part of the month he expects to have brought in. In the first three months of the year there we; e 927 montones ground in this . hacienda, whereas only 730 were washed, leaving a surplus of 197 montones for the second quarter. By the statement of costs and returns for March, it will be seen that the total silver produce amounted altogether to only 27 bars, comprising 12 from Regla patio, 9 from Fundiciones, and 6 from Sanchez ; total value, 32,000 dollars. The mines cost amounted to 25,4D0 dollars ;general expenses ; charges on produce, minerals, &e., 6,689 •dollars ; the haciendas to 2,270 dollars; making a total of 54,360 dollars, thereby showing a loss of 22,380 dollars. The reason of the small returns from the Fundieiones I explained in my letter of last month ; 'namely, the breaking of the main rods in the Dolores diagonal shaft, which prevented the working in the Santiago level west, and in the San Enrique and San Pablo bottoms, and which compelled us for upwards of a fortnight is sus. pend the workings of the Fundicimaes. During this time also, it should he borne in mind, that Acosta Mine was nearly full of water, while Terreros engine wah being erected ; and besides which there was not less than 8,200 dollars for stores at Regla brought into this month's accounts, which should have been en. tered two months before. There were also 2,820 dollars charged for materials, ke., for San Antonio hacienda. For the present mouth the returns will, I expect, be something better than the estimate ; say, about 42 bars. Even during this time we lost nearly one week's work on the best labores, on account of the Semana Santa. However, after all these misfortunes and drawbacks, I have the satisfaction of informing the directors that our prospects of future returns have of late decidedly improved. The raisings of this month have been as follows : Azoque. Fuego. 711 519 ...... 27 725 25 In the last week there will be seek a notable in crease, both of Azoque and smelting ore. The latter, however, is at the present moment of the greatest importance ; and as you will perceive by C a pt a i n Ratling's repo r t, th at the lode in Santiago level west of Dolores is about a of a taras wide, a large portion of which smelting ore, assaying 150 mares per monton, while the remainder is Azoque, containing from 25 to 30 mares per mouton, and taking into consideration that this place is about 15 varas east, and 17 varas below the San Pablo winze, there is reason to expect that the whole of this piece of ground will turn out to be productive. I therefore vent z venture to make out the estimate for next month as follows April 4 Cost 5 weeks .... leturns 58 bars . Dollars. 56,300 69,600 Profits 13,300 . . And, as the ground seems to be lengthening in . the Santiago, there is every probability of its continuing for a considerable time to come. I expect, therefore, we shall go on making profits for the remaining part of the year ; if the ore continues as at present, there can be no doubt about it. By Captain Skinfell's report you will be informed that the east new engine at Acosta was put to work on the 2d instant. We have had some difficulty in forking the water, in consequence of a pump having broken out ; I trust, however, we have at last overcome all difficulties, as the engine works pruemaprinkeanblyarewelnl,oawndekmepelpoisethdefiwxaitengr very easily. The m the two new plunger lifts at the Aviadero level, which Captain Skinfell calculates will be finished about the middle of driving th e new level twenty-four varas below the May, aft er which we shall resume Aviadero, and also with the sinking of the shaft—: two most i mportant works which have been delayed so long a t i me owing to the increase of w a ter. of a winze You will notice that Captain F r . as spe called San Paseul, situated here is a branch below the San Antonio level, wide, which assayed on of smelting ore about o a_ foot f goo marks per mouton.

The mine essays average from 9f to 10 marts, and I expect will give about 8 in hacienda. The quantity of ore might easily be increased, but at present there are no means of reducing it. I propose confining the raising to nearly sufficient to supply Sanchez.—Railway Herald. GRADUAL RISE OF - NEWFOUNDLAND ABOVE THE SEA. —lt is a fact worthy of notice, that the whole of the land in and about the neighbourhood of Conception Ray, very probably the whole island, is rising out of the ocean at a rate which promises, at no very distant day, materially to :Meet, if not to render useless, many of the best harbours we have now on the coast. At Pert de Grave, a series of observations have been made, which undeniably prove the rapid displacement of the sea-level in the vicinity. Several large flat rocks, over which schooners might pass some thirty or forty years ago with the greatest facility, arc now approaching the surface, the water being scarcely navigable for a skiff. At a place called the Cash. at the head of Bay Roberts, upwards of a mile from the sea-shore, and at several feet above its level, covered with five or six feet of vegetable mould, there is a perfect beach, the stones being rounded, of a moderate size, and in all respects similar to those new found In the adjacent land-w ashes...-Yetojoutolland Times.

We were on a visit to my wife's brother. The night was ex tremely cold, and as still as the grave; there was not a breath of air stirring. My brother-in. law and myself were sitting talking by the stove in the hall; my wife had just left us. and had gone up stairs- to bed ; when all at once we heard a rumbling noise, precisely like that produced by a heavily laden cart driven at a rapid pace along a payed street. At first the sound was faint and distant, and then came near r and nearer, till it seemed to pass close under the windows; and as it did so it shook the house violently, and then gradu ally receded and went off again into the distance. We rose from our seats, and looked at each other in fear and amaze ment, as we distinctly saw the walls of the house swaying to and fro. My poor wife, in her fright, rushed out of her room to the head of the staircase. Her first impulse, dic tated by the inherent principle of self-preservation, was to make her escape; but she recollected that her little daughter and her two boys were in bed in an adjoining room, and the feelings of the mother predominated over her fears for her own safety. After calling to us to know what was the mat ter, but without waiting for our answer, she ran back to them, and found her little girl fast asleep, but the boys weie sitting upright in bed, perfectly bewildered, and wonderil what had awakened them. I have said that the noise wa, like that of a loaded cart passing rapidly along a paved street; but it was vastly louder, and its duration longer, for cracksby. No damage w as d one to the house, save some the plaster and corni ces o f t h e lower rooms.passed" verysl in ly Nothing could be more simple as a composition, but the impression conveyed is singularly vivid.

The barrels continue to give very uniform results. both with respect to the loss of silver, quicksilver, and cost of ben e fi ces ; and as by this method all classes of ore can be equally beueficiated, I think that after awhile it will probably supersede the patio entirely ; especially as by Mr. Spangenburg's improved method of calcining the ore, the barrels will in future be discharged once in twelve, instead of once in twenty-four hours. Mr. S. has consented to take this department for a short time under his own special direction; and from the favourable result already obtained since this improved method of calcining has been introduced, not only is there a less loss of silver, but the time is materially shortened, and cost less. For instance, formerly the furnaces were generally changed once in each eighteen hours ; at pre sent the operation seldom exceed five hours; and again, the quantity of salt is reduced from about 7:1 to 4 per cent. _.
