The Highlanders of Scotland were the first of whom we know anything who wore chequered gar ments composed of that Material ; and so well acquainted were they even centuries back with a becoming arrange ment in striping them, that each feudal lord and hi vassals had fixed upon a certain composition of stripe with certain colours, by which they were distinguished from all the rest ; hence the origin of the clan tartans. They were worn, as is well known, only in the lower part of the dress chiefly, though all who could attain to it had coats and vests of their favourite check. And so proud were they, and tenacious of their clan, and this their showy garb, that a Highlander has been known t( wear them in the olden time to shreds, rather than lad them aside for other apparel. The Government of George the Second, after the dis astrous battle of Culloden, in passing the Disarmin Act,' declared that it was as essential to prohibit th( wearing of the tartan kilt, in order to restore and cnsurt a continuance of peace in the Highlands, as it was to take away from the hardy Gael his gun, his skein-dhu, or his broad-sword, and so the wise legislators of those days decreed accordingly. How altered, indeed, are the times, when (Area Majesty itself will wear them, and growth thereby encourage their ; and now, besides al, the clans, from Frazer to Campbe ll, or Mac Kenzi( and Mac Lean, we have the Queen's Welcome, and th( Queen of Beauty, and scores of other fanciful checks, the result of exquisite skill, taste, and arrangement. If we then can admire all this—and if we then regard it as it ought, in an important commercial point of view, we must—we are compellel—to laugh at the silly idea of our legislators at all interfering with the colour or shape of the clothing which the people, or any portion of them, may feel disposed to wear. Had that part of th( Act succeeded in its working out, probably no such kind of work would have been now seen amongst us ; but the mountaineer, while he might be refted of his kirk or claymore, could not be stripped of his clan kilt. unless they proceeded to turn him adrift in his flatly( nudity, to browse on the heath with his own mountain roe. He had no other kind of cloth, and would have 0 C Consider the Dress Mart of MOSES and SON, Consider the wonderful fame it has won. Consider how widely its name is display'd !

Saint Andrew's Day is drawing nigh—the day on which the official programme of the Royal Society will be drawn up for another year. The present would, therefore, be a fit season for ieviewing the proceedings ,f the society during the scientific year, Which closes on the 30th of November. But we can only refer; to parti cular points. Besides a numerous array of minor laches, we have charged those in authority, with three specific outrages upon the constitution of the Royal Society. In the first place, they have doubly violated the re gulations under which the Royal Medals are awarded — regulations which have received the sandier' of her Ma iesty, by giving a Royal Medal to a paper 'which di l not legally come within the cycle of years for which the Award was made ; and for a paper which aid not appear in print in the "Philosophical Transactioni" until nearly A year after the medal was given away. In the second place, we charged the secretaries and the Physiological Committee with having broken the statutes by allowing le author of the paper to which the Royal Medal was illega,ll% awarded, to receive back and alter his paper, .vithout the permission of the council. And in the third place, we have eharged the secretaries wiih trampling under foot the whole constitution of the loyal S;;ciety, thing to repair the wrongs which have been inflicted on :nen of science by former irregularities, and we do not scruple to say, illegalities ; and will he set himself in !onjunction with the Council, to bring its organisation into a state fitted to lead and foster the science of this coun try as it at present exists ? Each of these points is of the utmost importance. So long as irregularities are permitted in the reading and printing of papers, in the constitution of committees, and the awarding of medals — so long no discovery made amongst us can be safe. Com mon justice, and the present and future character of the Royal Society, imperatively require that the wrongs already committed should, as far as possible, be repaired. And last of all, activity, diseussien, and permanency in the weekly sittings of the Royal Society, should be pro vided for. Unless a genuine reformation be set afoot, unless the cold and formal aristocracy of.science admits some more generous elements than it at present possesses, we may look to see discovery after discovery lost to this country, and the original workers amongst us soured lnd disappointed, instead of cheered and honoured. The Royal Society and its coteries have long acted the Florentine part towards the scientific genius of England. This year they have, among other errors, lost a planet; what they may lose next, if they continue their career, it is impossible to foresee. If this loss does not rouse them, no arguments can do so. Dante describes, in the " Inferno," the interviews between the ghosts of the learl. What kind of meeting will that be between the offended shades of Newton, end Halley, and Herschel, and the administrators of science of the present gene ration? by printing an extended communication fiesm a person lot a fellow of the Societyeand which had neither been read, nor referred, nor considered by the Council in any way, having, in fact, as the printed date proves, been sent to the secretary subsequently to the last meeting of the Council for the year. We stop not to enquire into irregularities of former years—it is enough to say, that ill these subirersiens of the statutes belong to the present year alone. These charges, as our readers know, were made distinctly, nominatively ; it would, indeed, have been a treason to truth not to have done so. We charged the parties concerned in the courSX public and 'professional opinion, and they-leave atklitvle*d the competence of the tribunal by pleading to the indict ment. They have all responded, have all held up their hands—some with the plea of not guilty, some with ex planations, some with equivocations, and all with ad missions of one kind or another. Besides the corres pondence of the injured parties, letters have been elicited from Dr. Roget, the senior secretary; from Mr. Bell, the secretary of the Physiological Committee; from Drs. Todd and Sharpey, the two referees in the case of the recent medal; and from Mr. Beck, and Mr. Newport, the rest - the two royal medallists by favour, but not by right or desert; and, lastly, from the Noble Presiden, the Mar quis of Northampton himself; while ties engaged have been busy with private repudiations of all part in the discreditable transactions, and members ,f the Council have been running to and fro to examine into the truth of things about which they had judged in the absence of evidence or inquiry. Never before, in the annals of the Royal Society, has there been such a ierics of charges— never such a series of replications: Such hasbeen the contradictory nature of the communica tions, that we have sometimes been able to stultify the state ments of the individual writers, by bringing them into self collision—the facts and acts of the same party at dif ferent times or places being in inexplicable contradic tion. At other times we have proceeded by the equally easy mode of knocking the statements of one party against the opposing facts of another. Their official conduct has reduced them to such a conditiOn, that the mere touch of truth has - been sufficient to throw them into a state of moral polarization, particle instantly re pelling particle, and mass opposing mass. But the profession have seen the changes, the evidence adduced in their support, and the defences set up. The parties implicated are, with the exception of the Pre sident, all of them professional men, and with the pro fession rests the verdict. Let them, then, throw their pebbles into the urn of the republic of medicine, and decide for punishment or acquittal. We do A b l u ed t i w co e -C as h k i — rur W ; i h e t t i Society, ;if be could have dared to assume in his nwootulwdibshe saidto atgogtehaevsaeteeretthaerymoaftttehre, own person all the functions of the society, and to print papers without the sa nction of the societ y , or sanction of any kind, in the " M edico-Chirur g ical Transactions?" Or what would be said if the treasurer of the Bank of England were shown to have malversated the funds at his command ? And are not science and scientific fame things as dear to the rig htful p ossessor, and as important to the nation, as ever mere mone y can be ? We say it advisedly. At the present time, the whole system of scientific polity in this country is rotten at the core as regards those who are charged with its ad ministration, and as regards the code to be enforced. That the men in power are either lax to an extreme de gree, or utterly unprincipled, we have shown again and again; and the machinery entrusted to these infirm or impure hands is equally to be condemned. Science ad vances with an increased impetus from every century and from every generation; yet the polity of the Royal Society, our chief scientific institution, clings pertinaciously to its venerable regulations, clogged as they are by time, and by the altered condition of knowledge. Where Science formerly numbered its tens, it now numbers its thou sands of cultivators; advances which were formerly the feature of a generation are now the events of a day. S c i en ce never sleeps; yet the Ro y al Societ y h y bernates, or rather falls into perfect tor p or, annuall y , from June to November. It still moves on in the antique round, when the London year commenced with the fogs, and ended with Midsummer. To the savans the 30th of November is still the beginning of the season, as it was in some remote era, the date of which can hardly be specified. But the resultant mischiefs arc incalculable, when to this semi- fossilized state, the grOssest violation of statutes, charters, regulations, and by-laws, are per mitted with impunity. Times and dates being altered as they have been—papers being tampered with in the way we have stated—and papers being printed without the sanction of the Council,—no anatomical or physiological discovery is safe. We say anatomical and physiological, because the more glaring outrages have occurred in these departments. If a greater than Harvey were now to arise, his-labours and his reputation would not be safe in the hands of the present officials of the Royal Society. This is not mere assertion, but a close induction from the proved facts. Of late years, whenever any man has signalised himself in these departments, some puppet has straightway been fostered at Somerset House, to the defamation and injury of the right man. Sir Everard Home, the pur loiner and destroyer of John Hunter's papers, was sup plied from the coffers of - the society with the funds for appropriating the labour of his illustrious. predecessor. The expensive plates of his work on " Comparative Anatomy," illustrating one hundred and nine papers in the " Philosophical Transactions," were executed at the cost of the society. Mr. Mayo, who attempted to deprive Sir C. Bell of his just fame, was long suffered to he upon the Council, than which a greater insult could not have been offered to this distinguished man. More recently we have seen Mr. Newport set up and rewarded, it is scarcely known for what, while the discoverer of the reflex function has had his pacers blackballed, which, to his noble and independent spirit, was ostracism from the society. Later still, Dr. Lee makes an anatomical dis covery, and, as if in obedience to some mysterious and inevitable law of wrong, a non-discoverer is raised up to usses and worry him in his career. Evis of this magnitude cannot exist in one depart ment of science without being an indication of the unwholesome polity pervading the whole. They are so, in fact, at this time, when an event of the cmlut September, member tb n ede o r ‘v t oh w e seti existencei. 8 k 4j t o h w tuh n , as ttch andaho t el our esgeen c t o positiontui country oe y i e n at Cambridge,ahl highest importance is engaging the attention of the scis e entific world.

E. MOSES and SON, Tailors, Woonendrapers, Clothiers, Hatters, Hosiers, Furriers, and General Outfitters, for Ladies and Gentlemen, 154, 155, and 156, 157 Minories, and 83, 84, 85, and 86 Aldgate, The Lerch Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury having had under their consideration an application, frout an eminent firm, requestinghthat Prussian books may be admitted into this country at the reduced rates provided the treuty of international 'copyright, recently con cluded between this country and Prussia, notwithstand ing that the said books may have been stamped at Leipsic, and not at a town in Prussia, the Commissioners of the Customs Department have received a communication from Mr. Parker, one of the Secretaries to the Treasury, stating that he has been commanded by their Lordship: to transmit, for their information, copy of a letter from the Board of Trade on the subject, and to desire that they would admit the Prussian books with the stamp of the Saxon authorities thereon, which have been already impOrted by the me morialists, at the low rate of duty. Mr. Parker also intimat ed to the Commissioners in this communication that ho had received directions from their Lordships further to state to them, that their Lordships concur in the opinions expressed in the Board's report and in that of the Board of Trade, namely, that books, published in Prussia and stamped in Saxony, or any other State which may have acceded to the Convention, should be treated as Prussian, and view virs4 ; and that it was their Lordships' desire that the Board would give the necessary directions to their officers to admit the same at the duty prescribed by the convention to be levied upon books published in Prussia, and imported into this country with the Prussian stamp affixed. The following is a copy of the letter from the Board of Trade to the Lords of the Treasury alluded to:— " Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, Whitehall. amity, Loudon. Caption.—E. Moses and Son regret being obliged to guard the public against impostors, but have learned that the untradesman like falsehood of being connected with them, or it's the same concern, has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons. They have no connexion with any other house in or out of London; and those who desire genuine and chel) clothing, &c., should call at, or send to, Minories and Aldgate, City, London. Notice.—No business transacted at this establf4hment from sun set Friday, till sunset Saturday, when business is resumed till twelve 'clock The entrance to the fur department is at 83, Aldgate, corner of the Minories and Aldgate, opposite the church. none. Laying aside his predatory habits and mixing more freely with the people of the low country, the latter, ii. course Of time, became attracted with his flaunting plaid as he strutted proudly by, and the looms that were em ployed in the weaving of course home-spun, or blankets. were soon turned to the production of tartan shawls, of various kinds and qualities. It is, however, only within these few years that the trade has ramified to such an extent, and reached our town; and - as it is likely still far ther to increase, and may, as it has done already, super sede other kinds of the loom's productions, we will give some account allow it is carried on, in detail, in Stir lingshire, the principal seat, as yet, of its manufacture. And here, we may remark, that it is not the native grown wool which is used. The Cheviot and the sheep of the far off Australasia are mingled together in the product of a shawl in Stirlingshire. The fleece or bail is obtained, it is picked, and often classified or sorted, as it is termed, into three. It is spun, dyed and scoured, woven, dressed, or waulked, necessary, and made fit for the wearer, and all these processes are performed under the same establishment. From this, it will be seen at a glance, that those manufacturers possess a superiority over the Paisley , manufacturer, who buy their yarn from the spinner, and know nothing at all of the first operation of the trade. We once heard a Stirlingshire manufacturer say, who had fallen behind with his yarn in consequence of the fitting up of some new machinery in the room of the old, that it would be better for him for a little to give , his idle weavers a small compensation, and go about, rather than buy yarn and keep them working. The motive power of the machines for the most part is water instead of steam, which was at first doubtless a great inducement to their location, and unless in the long droughts of summer the streams afford a plentiful supply. It is very pure, also quite free of chemical analysis, and therefore well adapted for dyeing and scouring. Thousands of gallons pouring down the dark-winding Carron; or the clear-winding Devon, classic streams, contribute in this way to a great purpose in the social economy of life, instead of, as in by-gone days, wasting themselves in the ocean Firth below, or at most serving as themes for the hero's wail or the poet's lute. Having said so much in respect to the manufacturer, turn we to the weaver, and we perceive tit a glance the advantages which he possesses in the working of wool over the Paisley operative. The whole of the plans are different. lie glues his own web ; this may be thought by some no advantage, but it is, as he can size it accord ing to the quality of his yarn, and an experienced hand is, in this operation, very particular. How many excel lent warps have we seen in Paisley rendered nearly un workable by being too firmly glued, and how many of a softer texture, that would have required a quantum more. and might have given to the weaver 3s. or 4s. a-week ad ditional wages. In bad weather it is indeed a tantalising matter to the Stirlingshire operative the glueing of his gt web, as the operation is performed in the open air. but when lu iteis is o il n ogftrlonesehe yarn. Aftersthrough in d:we say about two hours, and the method of dein- , it is the best calculated thelhe an sv o te ne poundesenit injury to boiled, twenty pounds of warp, he m a k es u p a quantityep-k in t r o_ his suf ficient to wet the warp through ; not all at once, this would be too much, but about the fourth part of it. He then wrings it out with the assistance of a neighbour, in the same way that a woman wrings her blanket or petticoat, it is then stretched at its length along hori zontal stakes, a coarse rail is put through it, and when NAVAL INTELLIGENCE PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 23.—The Admiralty have issued an order that no officer in a ship fitting out Is to be granted any leave. This is a good and stringent regu lation if .strictly acted upon, and will prevent young gentlemen of rank and influence shirking. Work, in which all- ought duly to share. An order arrived yesterday for the crew of . the Vengeance, 84, to be made up to 500, by the addition of seventy first-class boys. She is taking in her guns, 54, which will be all the armament sho will be furnished with at present. She will send the carriages of her lower ,deck guns ashore to-morrow, and receive her officers and crew on Thursday. Commander Story has left the ship, the Admiralty not intending to pat a commander into her as long as she is not efficiently manned and armed as a sea-going ship. Lieutenant EL D. Rogers (1337), late First of the \Volt', 18, on the China station, is appointed First of the Vengeance, vice Story, promoted. The Penelope steam-frigate progresses but very slowly in her equipment, and no wonder, as, independently of the very unfavourable indueement held out in f the matte o r of the station she is intended to be sent upon (coast Africa), the Admiralty have ordered sixty men less for her complement than when last in commission upon the same service. theSe webs are carefully handled, we have seen them when taken off, put upon the beam as quickly andwith as little broken yarn as any cotton warp, this is seldom or never the case in Paisley. The loom of the north is also very different to that of ours, the pace or beating power does not hang as with us, there is on the yarn beam a row-head just as we have in Paisley on the fore beam, a string is attached to the clink or hook thereof, and is led to the front, so that the weaver can ease it when he pleases wiihout ' leavine• his seat, besides the beam on which the yarn is, 'a square beam is placed about 15 inches behind the heddles over which the warp passes. By this means the ya,rn sustains the least pos sible amount ,of friction before it comes to be acted upon by the reed, lay, and shuttle, which as every weaver, who is in the least acquainted with wool, knows to be of the utmost importance. The cloth passes over a beam of the same description, and is taken'on upon orie below. This is also an advantage, as it doss notbulk up to alter the place of action in the reed on its floating on the lay. Their shuttles, too, are vastly larger, they will take in a pirn holding a full number of yarn, so that the labour in this alone is abridged, when they are compared to Pais ley shuttles, seven-eights, at least. It is with these and other advantages rest the reasons why the wages of the north-country woollen weaver are superior to those of his Paisley brother for the same kind of work. The prices per yard are about the same, but the former will double nearly the latter in quantity, and with short hours, too, their time being from six, A.M., till half-past six, with fort)-five minutes fel breakfast and as many for dinner ; and although the shop or factory be open, during these intervals of labour, no one is permitted to sound his : shuttle on any account. t u t n ei: Thpir wages are good during the busy season, which to all, geterally occupies from seven to eight , months in the fromy ea r—that ete i b s er.

P•••••••....••••• " am-directed by the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, enclosing a report of the Customs on an application of certain parties for the admission, at the low duty, of Prussian books, stamped at Leipsic, and I am to state to you . , for the information of the Lordi Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, that my Lords of the Board of Trade are of opinion that the Commis sioners of Customs have put a right construction upon the instructions which have been issued to them with respect to the admission of Prussian and Saxon books. The books mentioned in the memorial under notice are clearly not Saxon books,' because they were not pub lished in Saxony, neither are they entitled under the Convention to be regarded as 'Prussian books,' because, although published at a town or place within the domi nions of Prussia, they have not been duly stamped by the proper municipal or other authority of such town or place,' as is required by the sth article of the Conven tion. Had they been so stamped, .and had they thus ac quired a perfect Prussian character, they might un questionably have claimed admission at the low duty, although imported from Saxony, and not from Prussia itself, which is the meaning of the sth article of the treaty. My Lords are, however, of opinion, that there would be no objection to allowing books published in Prussia and stamped in Saxony, or vice versa, to be ad mitted at the low rate of duty, and as both the Act of Parliament and the Orders in Council are perfectly ge• neral in their terms, they would suggest that the in structions which have been issued to the Commissioners of Customs may safely be modified, and the Commis sioners informed that they may treat as Prustiau books published in Prussia, and stamped in any state which may have acceded to the Convention; and as Saxon books published in Saxony, and stamped in any such state. "I am, &c. (Signed) " STAFFORD H. NORTHCOTE. " T. C. E. Trevelyan, Esq." In pursuance of this order of the Lords of the Trea sury, the Commissioners have caused copie s of the same and of the communication from the Board of Trade to be issued to the principals of the several departments in London, and the collectors and comptrollers of the out ports throughout the United Kingdom, for their informa tion and future government in this important matter.

CArruitE OF BUItGLARS.-LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.- To:day four meneGeorge .Martin, John Wright, Miles Fitzusorris, and James Davis, were brought before Mr. Rushton, charged with burglariously entering the spirit vaults of Mr. James: Tracy, corner of Leigh-street, Parker-street. Two decanters of wine had been drank. Nothing else was missing. Mary Ann Kirby, a servant, said she was going to bed between 'twelve and one o'clock; and saw- four men (whom. she could not identify) standing at the front- door of Mr. Tracy's vaults. Two of them appeared to open the lock and went in, while the other two walked about for a while, and then turned te Leigh-street, towards the back yard. She caused in formation to be given to the police, and Inspector `Savage, mustering five men, so arranged them as to render. escape impossible. Davis was found under a table in the Feathers Hotel, to which he had gained access from a window in the back yard ; and the ether three prisoners Were arrested in-the vaults. Several chisels were found, and it was discovered that an attempt had been made to break through the wall into a watchmaker's shop. The prisoners were committed for trial at the sessions.

DEATII BY DEOWNING.—Last evening an inquest waa held at Barnes, on the body of Mr. George Roxburgh Sharp, aged 19, who was drowned on Friday afternoon by the upsetting of a boat in that part of the River Thames called the Chiswick Cut. The deceased was a student at the ' College for Civil Engineers at Putney, and a very promising young min. He and a party of fellow-students had gone up the river for recrea tion, and in crossing the stream from the Surrey to the Middlesex side, the swell struck the bow and the boat w as swamped; the decased (who was steering) hiVing sunk, it is, believed, in consequence of having had on a h eav y pea jacket. Verdict, " Accidental death." The acc ident excited a deep feeling in the neighbourhood. About two years' ago, his brother, like a student in the sam e college, was similarly . drowned near the'sanie spot; and about five years ago, a third brother was drowned in the East Indies. A sister alone remains of a family Of four. - The deceased was just about_te leave the col lege for -Cambridge 'University. ."`• " Had the facilities of publication been equal to both ; it is possib!e_thst the pe:#ition of these eminent names (M.

DUBLIN, Nov. 2 L—The Duke of Leinster has, in the following brief letter, sent in his resignation of the office of President of the Royal Agricultural Improvement Society of Ireland " Carton, Mayneoth, Nov. 12. " Sir,—The special general 'meeting of the Royal Agricultural Improvement Society of Ireland having yesterday decided to suspend until. April, 1847, the latter part of the 14th rule of the society, I consider it will be impossible to prevent matters totally unconnected with the object of the society from being discussed. I beg, therefore, to resign the honour of being their Pre sident, and request you will have the goodness to inform the council of my determination.—l am, Sir, your obe dient servant, " Edward Bullen, Esq. " LEINSTER." This communication was read at the weekly meeting of the council on Thursday last, when the following re • solution was adopted : " That the council have received with much regret the letter addressed to them by his Grace the Duke or Leinster, their Noble President, to whose uniform kind less and co-operation the society are so much indebted, tnd will lay his letter before the general meeting of the society, at which the usual election of its officers will take place ; and they. hope that the constant abstinence in the meantime from all discussions unconnected with the objects of the society may prove that his Grace's -apprehensions will not be Instilled by any departure, on the part of the society, from the spirit which dictated the law in question." Lord Downshire's letter of resignation, addressed to Hr. Secretary Bullen, was published in the Mail of last (Friday) night, twenty-four hours after the usual weekly meeting of the siciety. It is somewhat htrango that no notice of the fact appears in the printed minutes of the proceedings. POPULAR—ARWIENT. The following appears in the Tkipertiry Vindicator:— " There is at present, literally speaking, a rage for are-arms among the humblerciasses of the country people. The trade in guns, pistols, powder, and shot, is of the bri,kest of any within several miles of Limerick, Ne.; nagh, and other localities. The trade is quite a new one in Nenagh; but since it has been commenced by one cr two persons it is almost impossible to meet the demand. In a house in Queen-street, Nenagh, on Thursday, the crowds were enormous. It was difficult to enter the door. Groups of eager purchasers sur rounded the counter, and others gazed in at the win , dows, the former supplying themselves with arms, or getting them repaired, while the owner of a shop, and an experienced assistant,' somewhat advanced in age, and the very type of an armourer, had scarcely time to attend to their customers. The consequence of this is, that arms are in almost every hand. We believe the respectable class of farmers perfectly , right in arming themselves, as their inferiors aro doing so ; but we cannot see the good that will arise from the indiscri minate armament now, going forward. In almost every district we hear from reports of gunshots are frequent throughout the day and at night. A gentleman residing near the Shannon, between Birr and Borriso kane, heard several volleys within the last few nights. Shots have also been heard in the neighbourhood of Kilcoleman and in other localities. Some of the country boys cunningly say that they will be all disarmed when they go to a certain length in the purchase and posses sion of firearms, and that just now Government is en couraging them. In the latter observation we think them wrong. We do not believe Government is encouraging the purchase of arms for a vicious purpose. It would be horrible to think so; but we do think that this business cannot end well. A large seizure, we learn, of arms from an English house, consigned to Ireland, was made in an English factory last week, and the arms sent to the Custom-house." MR. AIORGAN JOHN O'CONNELL. The Evening Post contradicts the reported appoint ment of this gentleman to the office of Poor-law Com missioner in the room of Mr. Twisleton, and asserts that such an arrangement was never contemplated. THE GALE OF FRIDAY. The morning papers publish a long list of the casual ties of the terrific storm which raged here from Thursday night up to fire o'clock yesterday evening, when, veering from S.S.E. to N.N.W. the gale took off, and the night became quite moderate : "We have been visited with a most frightful gale of wind yesterday morning, accompanied with heavy rain. From about four o'clock until after it blew with extra ordinary violence from the south and south-east. The effect was, as usual, to impound a quantity of water in Dublin-bay, and this oecarring on the top of the spring tides had a fearful effect upon the stability of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway. We are happy to say that the iniury sustained is but trifling, and none whatever upon the sea wall or embankmeut. The sea which rolled in was in the morning terrific—waves breasting the wall, and the wind sending the surf some 40 or 50 feet high, shutting out all view of the opposite coast. At Merrion the water rushed in unbroken across the road, and on that part of the railway between:Merrion and Williams town there were at least from two to three feet of water on the line. The trains were, from motives of safety, stopped for about an hour and a half, and afterwards quarter trains were dispatched to meet the demands upon the traffic. " The water enclosed by the sea wall on the sea side, and the embankment on the south sire, at length forced its way through two breaches, and deluged the reclaimed ground between Merrion and BooterAown. Near the rock an extensive . broach was made, undermining the road, so that labourers had to be set to work to ballast up the rails; and make the road passable. " The inhabitants of Bath-avenue and Bath square were all intiiidated in their houses, and the operatives of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway woiks most chival rously turned out to the -rescue, and some hundreds of families were convoyed "by them, wading up to' their waists in the water, to a place of refuge. One Woman, with an infant at for breast, and its grandmother, were amongst the rescued. One of the inhabitants saved his pigs by putting them into a cask, and guiding it to a place where the animals were high and dry t he wading nearly breast-high ;n. the water. " The breakinei- of the . se3,6vpr the eastern pier was magnificent, and several ..41%enturous spirits dared to go to the end arik iew it. One young man, the son of )ilot, was ariningst them; lie unfortunately sAfferedsol having been eirrie4 away l2y wave. i " About too o'cloclif the wind - c 4iiM to the west Ward, aria tho sea,' though running avtly, was more moderate. ," This day at t:Nelve o'clock - will be the top of the springs, and, from' the Moderation of the gale, we may augur uo further amount of damage, but to the lovers ot the picturesque an imposing-object will be afforded. " DUBLIN AND DROGHEDA. RAILWAY.—There were serious apprehensions about the sea embankments on this line, but Ass y have stood the test of this violent storm admiraliy. l .. Duniatilisu HOWTH LlNE.—This branch line has suffered soma trilling injury near Baldcyle, but a few hours' wolit will sot all to rights. r , . " ALARMING PLODD.—TM. naokning, about half-past ten o . cmost tremendous tine broke over the wall on Sant 'stand, commenang at Merrion, Pros trating at that'place the stables of Mr. BoUrne, and also - the walls adjoining the strand read. Such was the force of the great element that it broke down every barrier that the inmates ot the several dwellings raised against it. At Newgrove-avenue the inhabitants suffered most severely, AS many of them had to fly from their houses, and seek shelter in the city, leaving their valuable furni ture &c., to float on the briny waters. A great portion of the wall from Sandymount to the Tritonville baths has given way, and it is much to be feared and regretted that Mr. Cranfield has sutured severely, as the greater portion of his property presents a most distressing pie - ture, being under a complete sheet of water, and all the walls, &e., adjoining, prostrate. A large gabbard was floated right over the Dodder bank at Riugsend, and is now to be seen sailing about on the low grounds of Bath avenue, where a few days since a fine crop of oats in stack , was to be seen. "There is a rumour that four people have been drowned-in the neighbourhood in trying to rescue their property. The cellars allong the quays were flooded; and great injury dole to the poor in the vicinity. " PononELLo GARDENS.—The storm of Thursday night did great damage in these gardens. The beautiful panoramic model of -Mount Etna is a complete wreck, and a great portion of the timber of it is totally de destro) e l ; much injury was done to the firework factory and the fences. Nothing could be more unfortunate for Mr. Drewett at th present time, whilst he is struggling against his heavy losses occasioned by the late fire." STOPPAGE OF A PUBLIC WORK. In the bi-weekly record of Tipperary pleasantries, a Nenagh paper mentions the following " On Tuesday night last the steward employed by th e Board of Public Works on a road at Lou ,horna, within two miles of this town, shortly after he'had retired to bed in the house in which he lodged, was fired at when he had lain down, and the ball passed close over his head, as if the parties outside knew well the locality within. A threatening notice was found ne xt morning posted on the door, threatening the steward with death if he dal not employ all the persons out of work not be all. wed in the neighb to our hoodth,,t unless he did so he would -- act over the few under his c h a rge. On his making a re .pr6sentition to the officers of Public Works in Nenagh, they very properly ordered the works to be superat2d, and, conscquetitly thirty persons have been thrown out of employment. 'We understand that it iS the orders of Board to suspend any works where oat age is com mitted." THE LATE GALES. PLYMOUTH, Nov. 21.—The storm centinues with very little abatement. A flag of distress has been exhibited all day on the Eddystone lighthouse, and, in consequence of the severity of the storm, Mr. Ditchem, the agent, has not been able to hold communication with the keepers. Au attempt to approach was made this afternoon in the Diligent tender, but the heavy Atlantic sea and rising tide forced that vessel to put back as night approached. Intelligence has reached here of the lose of the sloop Ellen, Captain Beach, belonging to Mr. Clark, of Fare ham, Portsmouth. _She was consigned from Perros, on the coast of France, to Mr. Attril, of this port, with about 35 head of cattle and some poultry, and unhappily went ashore on Friday morning, in I3igbury-bay a little to the west of Mothecombe. The ill-fated vessel was quickly clashed to_pieces, and all her crew perished: OA of the bullocks swam ashore, and the body of one of the crew has been washed on the beech. The Ellen was not above 50 tons burden, and was consequently small for this description of trade at the present season of the year. - This morning Mr. Ditchem, the agent for lights, made a more successful attempt to visit the Eddystone. There is a tremendous sea in the Channel, and the wind is blowing -strong from the southward. After approaching the lighthouse as near as the boisterous state -of the weather would permit, the lightkeepers were signalled to throw out a letter in a sealed bottle; from this it was ascertained that the distress flag had been- kept hoisted in consequence - of the damaged state the lower part of the door of the basement-entrance, caused by the great weight of the water, which had forced itself into the lighthouse at the upper doorway dining the storm. Measures are to be immediately taken. to repair the damage. RAILWAY ACCIDENT ON THE EAST .LANCASHIRE RAILWAY.—BURY, MONDAY, FOUR 0 7 05.00m.-- r ais afternoon a very serious accident occurred on this line of rail to the train which left Rawtenstall, at two o'clock rM. It appears the train was coming at a rapid speed on its way to this town, and on reaching - a bridge which crosses the Irwell, at Spring-side, namshottom, the en.• gine went off the rails. It is said that there is an acute curve at this place, and there being pieces of wood fixed along the rails to keep the engine on, one of them had given way, and consequently the flange of the engine wheels came in contact with it, and threw the engine off the line with fearful violence. There. were only five carriages attached to the engine, all of which were thrown off the rails. Fortunately, however, the accident occurred in a deep cutting, .or the result Blight have been disastrous in the extreme. Several of the passen gers were severely injured. One man had one of his feet cut off near the arch of the foot, and the other dreadfully lacerated. He is, however, alive, but in a very weak state. A policeman, who was a passenger, ' was also seriously injured ; it is said one of his legs was taken off, and the other much bruised. A third passen ger was ifs) much bruised, and a report is circulated that a fourth was kil!ei.. This report, however, is said not to be correct. Three of the carriages were brokt n to pieces, and the engine and tender ranch damaged. There happened at the time to be a pilot engine on the way to Bury, and the ala rm was given in a very short time, when a special train was dispatched to the scene of the accident, which brought the whole of the passengers, and some of the wounded, to Bury. •• DESTRUCTIVE Finn.—One of the most destructive fires witnessed in the metropolis for some time broke o ut this morning , short l y before two o'clock, on the ex tensive premises occupied by Messrs. Palmer, the patent candle manufacturers, in Great Compton -street, Clerken well; where, it will be remembered, a' fire occurred of great extent about three years ago. The premises, which were considerably enlarged after the former destruction, occupy the entire space of ground front St. John-street to C o mpton-court, and from Compton- street to Sutton. street. Upon an alarm being given several -paroehia: eng i ne s were quickly in attendance, but from the inflam• mablo nature of the contents of the 'wilding the fire ir a few moments burst through the roof, end the exertions of those.persons who had hastened to the spot appear( d .to be completely in vain. The engi nes from tho fire brigade stations at last a rrived, at ,d Mr. Inspector r e e d y, with a strong body of the G 'vision of pollee, also promptly attended. - An excellent supply of .water was soon obtained, and the whole of the engines acre set in operation, but instead of darnpirti - T the flames the w ater as it fell upon the burnin g tallow at id composition, a ppeared to increas e thtir fury.

It is at length announced that the Pope has appointed Commissioners to devise forthwith a general plan it 1r the extension of railways over the Roman States. Tha fol lowing articles, signed by Cardinal Gizzi, which h,3ve been published by order of his Holiness, are to constitu.te the basis of their proceedings:— " Art. L The lines considered by the Pontifical Government to be of the greatest importance, and those• I whereof the execution is authorised, are four in number— namely :-- " 1. The line from Rome through the Valle del Sacco to the confines of Naples, near Ceprano. " 2. A line from Rome to the Porto d'Anzio. " 3. A line from Rome to Civita Vecchia. " 4. A tine from Rome, running , through the most populous par to of Umbria —namely, Foligno and the Valle dcl Fiume Potenza to Ancona, and thence to Bolnzna-; following the traces of the ancient Via Fla minis Emilia. " Art. 11. The construction of these new roads will be conceded to prix ate companies, represented by Papal subjects, and the competing parties will be required to " 1. A plan of the line or lines which they propose to undertake. " 2. Drawings and specifications. " 3. A statement of the time within which they will bind themselves to complete the works, and also of the shortest lease with which they would be satisfied. " 4. A statement of the security which it may be in their power to offer for the due completion of their re— :pective undertakings. " 5. A statement of the principles upon which each railway is to be conducted, considered principally as far as they will affect the Roman people, landholders, and capitalists. " Art. 111. For the presentation of projects in com pliance with the above conditions, a period of three months is to be allowed from the date of the present notice (Nov. 7, 1846), which period can be extended at 'he request of the companies, on sufficient reason being given. " Art. IV. The construction of the lines described in Article I. having been assured, the Government re serves to itself to take into consideration the construc tion of a line from Foligno towards Perugia and Cita di Castello by the Valle del Tevere, and also other lines ' of communication with the neighbouring States, when ever the necessity or utility of such works for the Roman people shall.be fully recognised. " Art. V. A gold medal of the value of 1,000 scudi (2150'wilf be given, under the judgment of the Commil of Art (the members' of which are on• that account ex cluded from the competition). to the person uho shall demonstrate the easiest and cheapest road between Um bria and Le Marche." UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. - _ On Friday, the 20th of November, being the day ap pointed for the election of the annual officers, the fol lowing gentlemen were appointed to their respective offices:— Vice-Provcst of Trinity College.—The Rev.

The Freshman class of this year is likely to be the largest that has been in the University for many years; the matriculations in Trinity College this year will, pro bably, number 400. This, in part, arises from the large and increasing number of students from England. The Provost and Senior Fellows of Trinity College have contributed the sum of 1,5001. within the last year out of the College revenues to re l ie ve the distress of the poor on their estates. - ----- .

On our going to the colliery 'to ascertain the• particulars, we found that a most serious accident had occurred, by which four men, who were employed at the bottom of the pit, had been most severely burned, but at that time they were all living ; two of the number, however, were not expected to exist many hours. It appears that as the men at one particular point of the pit were driving the foul air out of the . jig brows by means of the ventilator, it forced its wily 'along the level of the pit, and there being a candle lighted near to where some other men were employed in .. getting coal, the air came in contact with the light; the result was an explosion, and the poor fellows were most dreadfully scorched, the skin hanging in shreds from every part of their bedies.—Another awful occurrence took place in: the same pit on Thursday morning. A boy named Thomas Jones, aged 15, one of tke . drixers in the pit, while standing at the bottom of one 0( the jig -brows, took up a pick, with which he commenced to strike near the top of the roof, when a large stonelell upon him and killed him on the spot ; the boy had been previously told it was dangerous to interfere with it. The father of the deceased was suffocated in the pit some time ago.— Afancliester Examiner. -..4 THE SMITHFIELD NUISANCE.— On Blaclifriars bridge, in the early part of Monday, a young child named Elizabeth Drawbridge, whilst in the act of cross ing the carriage way, was knocked down by an ox pro ceeding towards-Smithfield, was trampled upon and gored. §he Was conveyed in a hopeless condition to the resi ence of her parents.—ln the market, between three- air o'clock, a young married woman, residing at o. 10, ' Green-street, Friar-street, Blackfriars-road, . ... named Tailor, was run against and knocked clOwn by oxen. She sustained such injuries that her recovery is not expected. She was taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital.—Shortly afterwards, in the Blackfriars-road, a child named Wade, crossing the road, was tossed by an ox coming from the market, endangering the child's life.—Mary Ann Binical, a married woman, residing at 30, Goswell-street-road, while crossing Farringdon street, was run over by no less than four beasts, and severely wounded. THE FLORES EXPBDITION.—Yesterday and Satur day several hundred lads and men were collected near the Angel public-house platform, B,otherhithe, for the purpose of engaging themselves ill the. ab - ove expedition, under the name of emigrants. An officer and a doctor occupied a large room in the public house, where the men and lads were examined by the doctor, and, after being supplied with sixpennyworth of bread and cheese and ale, they were shipped on board• a steam-tug, and taken to Gravesend. Upwards of Ave hundred have en gaged themselves already. Inspector Hornsby, M divi sion, was there nearly all yesterday, keeping them in order.

Nothing im portant, however, transpired relative to the deliberations of that body . further than the prompt acknowledg ment. of the receipt of correspondence both from General Mendoza and Messrs.
