" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full 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 every living 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 own 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 faithfully imparted, health will be found to he in , our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all , by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation Df 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.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucester, Aug. 12. CIVIL COURT.—(Before Lord Chief Justice WILDE and a Special Jury.) THE QUEEN AGAINST ROBINSON, cLEICK This case, by which, as we stated, considerable interest has been created through this county, and more especially in Cheltenham, came on (as appointed) for trial this morn ing. From an early hour a great many persons crowded into the town with the intention of being present, but several must have been disappointed, as the court, crowded as it was, could not contain them. The total abseace of ladies on the bench, the small number of women in court generally, was highly creditable to the sense of propriety of the fair sex in this county. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, Mr. Alexander, Q.C., and Mr. Greaves appeared for the prosecution ; the defendant's case was conducted by Mr. Whateley, Q.C., Mr. Tyrrwhitt, and Mr. J. G. P. Smith. Mr. GREAVES opened the indictment, and stated that was presented agXinst the defendant for a libel on the cha• ratter of Mrs. Barker, the prosecutrix, contained in the superscriptions of two letters; and that to this indictment the defendant had pleaded "Not guilty." Mr. Sergeant l'Aurouun opened the case, and stated that the defendant, the Rev. Disney Robinson, was a clergyman of the Church of England, who had borne an excellent and irreproachable character, which he had never forfeited ex cept in this one transaction. The prosecutrix was a married lady, of a most respectable family, the wife of a member of the musical profession, and the mother of three children. She had during the autumn of 1841 lived at No. 2, Pittville parade, in Cheltenham, where Mr. Barker had been with her; but some unfortunate differences having arisen between them, they separated, and she went to Acton-hall, near Dursley, intending to reside in Cheltenham again with, her children, whom her husband had left in her charge, and their governess. Before she arrived there from Acton-hall, she received two anonymous letters, which he (the Learned Ser geant) would read, as notice to produce them had been given by the defendant, though they were not the subject of the present indictment. These letters would be proved to be written by the defendant, and the intention was to induce Mrs. Barker not to return to Cheltenham. It was impos• Bible to conceive a reason why a man in the defendant's po sition should scruple to avow what he did not scruple to write. He was no way connected with Cheltenham, except as residing there for health or amusement, and not possessing any spiritual power. The first of these letters was not dated, but bore the post-mark of the 12th of October, 1845. It was directed to Mrs. Barker, and its contents were what the jury would now hear : " Madam,—lt is rumoured that you purpose residing in Cheltenham during the ensuing winter. It is thought that after what occurred last year this outrage on common de cency would not be repeated. Allow me to urge the re consideration of this step. I know that means will be taken to cause reflection, should you come after this friendly warning.—l am, yours faithfully, W. P." These were not the initials of the defendant, and therefore the letter might, like its successor, be considered anonymous. On the 24th of the same month a second letter was received by the prosecutrix, in these words:— " Madam,—l know not what effect my former friendly warning and communication may have bad, but I deem it better to repeat it, and to beg that you will reconsider your intention of coming to reside in Cheltenham. Let the me mory of your departed father, and regard for your brother, both ministers of the Holy Gospel, have some weight with you. I hope you will receive in kindness the admonitions of one personally unknown, but disposed iu a friendly manner towards you. W. P." Mrs. Barker, purposing to reside quietly in Cheltenham, and neither to disturb the morals nor the public peace of the town, did not think it necessary to attend to these letters, and accordingly went to her old house, at No. 2, Pittville parade, on the 3d of November, 1845. Soon after the sth of the same month she received the letter the superscription of which has the first libel. It was addressed, " Mrs. Barker, under the protection of Lord Fitzhardinge," which words were underscored. In this envelope some religious tracts only wera contained. On the 11th of November the writer returned to the charge, and sent another letter, also containing nothing but tracts, the address of which was the second libel complained of. This letter was directed to " Mrs. Barker, Sabbath-breaker and adulteress." These letters had both passed through the post, and the latter was not pre paid, in order, no doubt, that the attention of all those through whose hands it passed, both in the post-office and Mrs. Barker's house, might be directed to the address upon it. Inquiries were now made, the lady feeling she could not quietly live in Cheltenham or any other town if such conduct were permitted, which resulted in its turning out that the de fendant was the writer of all the four letters. These letters had certainly not a tendency to induce a breach of the peace as far as the lady was concerned, but most certainly would have provoked it if she had had any male friend with her. In this proceeding, if the defendant had meant to rely on the truth of his statement, he should have pleaded it, as he might now by a recent statute, and prove that his publica tion of it was for the public benefit. He (Mr. Sergeant Tal fourd) should not call Mrs. Barker before the Court, be cause he thought no such precedent should be established as that any man had a right, by his own wrongful act, to call on any one to come and deny the offence he chose to allege the prosecutor had committed. There was no duty imposed on the lady on whom these insults were heaped to present herself at the call of the defendant and invite any scrutiny. No doubt it would be alleged that the defendant was actu ated by good motives in taking the course he did. It wee, however, impossible to conceive what motive could justify his indulging in such detraction. If he had even believed been current in Chelten the reports respecting the conduct of the prosecutrix, and the rumours of a guilty connexion between her ant Lord hlatitaardtionen"ttlitei'bhuZ:r of Which WSW pleasure, and where, therefore, persons were accustomed to pry into matters which did not concern them—this was not the course which, as a Christian minister, he should have adopted. It lie had possessed any of the spirit of Knox, or of those heroic martyrs who had at their own risk and peril denounced " spiritual iniquity in high places," it was not by anonymous libels sent through the post-office he would have remon strated. Re would and ought, not to have gone to her, but to Berkeley Castle, to Lord Fitzhardinge—not to a defence less woman, but to the man; for the crime which, though society treated it lightly as regarded the man, and most se verely as respected the woman, was, in the eyes of God, equally guilty in both. Why had he not followed in the same course as the Great Author of our faith had, who said to the woman taken in adultery, " Neither do I condemn thee," when the law of the land, as well as that of Christianity, would not allow us to. erect ourselves as amateur judges, as we had no means of examining wit nesses. and to become at once judge, witness, and exe cutioners? Against such a self- created tribunal, which the defendant, influenced no doubt by some soeiety in which he had moved to forget the Christian life he had previously led when vicar of Woolley, in Yorkshire, had constituted, the prosecutrix now claimed protection from the jury. They would, however, in this case have only to consider whether the superscriptions were libels, and whether they were, as he (the Learned Sergeant) would prove, in the handwriting of the defendant. The following witnesses were then called and examined:— William Dyke examined—l am a letter-carrier at Chel tenham. It is my duty to deliver letters in Pitville-parade. I know the prosecutrix ; she lived in Pittville parade, both in November last and the year before. I delivered on No vember the 4th this lett er ( t h e l et t er cons ti tut i ng th e fi rs t libel). I delivered on the 12th of the same month this un paid letter, for which I received postage (this was the letter directed to " Mrs. Barker, adultress."). Mr. Robinson lived at No. 5, in Pittville-parade. Cross-examined—Mr. Robinson took pupils, who resided in his house. They were young gentlemen. It is two years since I recollect Mrs. Barker living there. She came about the end of October. I delivered letters in the morning and evening. Ido not know Lord Fitzhardinge. I know his livery. I never saw his horses or servants at Mrs. Barker's door. At this stage of the cross-examination a legal discussion arose as to the right of the Learned Counsel for the defendant to inquire whether the rumours alluded to actually were cur rent in Cheltenham. His LORDSHIP said, that the existence of rumours could not now be any element in the decision of the Court, what ever their effect when the defendant came up to receive judgment might be. He, however, would take a note of the question. Cross-examination continued—l know Mr. Robinson is a married man. I delivered the first letter to a servant of Mrs. Barker's, named Elizabeth Mulloy. I have heard of the Female Refuge, but I do not know that Mr. Robinson took very great interest in forwarding it. I never delivered any letter for Mr. Barker. Elizabeth Mulloy—l lived as cook at No. 2, Pitville parade. I remember that in November last Mrs. Barker came to live there. I received some letters delivered by the last witness. (This witness identified the two letters.) I delivered both letters to Mrs. Barker, by the last of which she was very much affected. Cross-examined--I lived with her in November, 1844. She came at the beginning of November, and left in April. Lord Fitzhardinge used to call sometimes. He sometimes dined ogee, sometimes twice a week. He stayed till about eleven or 'twelve o'clock at night. They dined alone to gether. Lord Fitzhardinge lived at German-cottage, in Cheltenham, which is about ten minutes walk from Pitville parade. I never saw her go out with Lord Fitzhardinge. When she rode out there was a servant with her. Ido not . n recollect know whether it was L ord Fitzhardinge's livery. The groom's name is Pick. Id ono I kndoow ot that she ever went in s Lord ai Fitzhardinge's a sheconstantlywent out in Lord Fit z h ar di nge ' s carr i age. Ido not know Lord Fitzhardinge's horses. He came once in his own carriage. She went alway s but once with four horses when she travelled. When she left Pitville-parade I believe she went to Acton -hall. I was never there. I have heard from the prosecutrix that it was Lord Fitzhardinge's. When Lord Fitzhardinge dined at Mrs. Barker's his servant waited. She had no man-servant.

I believe her family were not agreeable to the marriage, at which none of them were present. There were none present but myself, the clergyman, and the clerk. • Mr. WH.tTELEY addressed the juryfor the defendant. He said it was now quite obvious that it was not by her husband, a poor player, that the prosecution was maintained. She had married a man much beneath her in rank, and who clearly could not support her in the luxuries of a carriage and four horses, in which it appeared she usually, and in fact, always but on one occasion, travelled. It was alleged in this indictment that the defendant had wickedly, wilfully, and maliciously published a libel, with the intention to injure Jane Barker, and to deprive her of her good name. It was quite clear that her good name was lost long before these alleged libels had been written. It was asserted that under a recent Act of Parliament the defendant might have pleaded that the charge was true, but this would have availed him nothing, unless he could also have pleaded that it was for the public benefit. Why had not the prosecutrix taken a different course ? She had two others open to her. An action might have been brought, and then the truth alone of the libel would have been a de fence. An information might have been filed, but then to obtain it the prosecutrix must have negatived on her oath the charge against her. Why had not the prosecution called Lord Fitzharoinge, as a witness, to prove that the intercourse between him and the lady was of a pure and innocent cha racter? To show that he visited her, and dined with her, twice a week, and remained with her till eleven or twelve at night during the absence of her husband, to comfort and console her, and to guide and instruct her in the paths of morality and virtue? The defendant was, it had clearly been proved, a most exemplary pious clergyman, who had not only attended zealously to the spiritual wants of his own parish, but had mainly been instrumental in building a new church in his neighbourhood. For one season he, a married man, with the charge of young men whom he was preparing for the university, had endured the scandalous conduct of his neighbour the prosecutrix, one calculated to corrupt the morals of pupils, and disturb the comfort of his wife. He found that she was about to return, and then that in spite of the friendly, but perhaps injudicious admonitions be had sent her, she actually had returned; he, no doubt irritated by her conduct, and desirous at all risks to get rid of such an intolerable nuisance as her residence within three doors of his house, sent the letters in question, in tending to drive her away. He did not know the prose cutrix personally; he could have entertained no malice against her; he, in fact, acting perhaps most injudiciously, had merely wished to guard the morals of his servants and pupils against the contaminating influence of the mode of life of the prosecutrix, and to restore comfort to his wife. These were the real facts. No malice could have existed; and he (Mr Whateley) was sure that the jury would understand, what is hopeless to expect such people as those who were the instigators of this prosecution could understand, the high and the pure feelings which caused a zealous clergyman, at all hazards, to interfere, and abate any nuisance which threatened to injure the morality of the neighbours, and more especially to corrupt the morals of those young men who might be under his care. The LORD CHIEF JuirrlcE then summed up to the jury. His Lordship said that the questions for their consideration simply were whether the defendant had published the super scriptions in question, and whether they were libels? The facts relied on by the Learned Counsel for the defendant formed no excuse. No imaginary or fancied sense of duty, no high-flown regard for the general moral conduct of society, could justify even a clergyman in setting himself up as a censor of his neighbours, and publishing anonymous libels respecting them. His Lordship most fully and clearly stated the law of libel and the evidence to the jury, who re tired, and in thirty-five minutes returned into Court, and delivered a verdict of Guilty. The defendant will have, if brought up, to appear in the Court of Queen's Bench next term to receive sentence, and may file affidavits of any facts he considers may induce that Court to mitigate his punishment. WESTERN CI RC CI IT.—W ells, August 11. (Before Mr. Justice ERLE.) Alfred Green was indicted for maliciously setting fire to a stack of hay, the property of Nathaniel Hodder, at Frome Selwood. Mr. Bayley was counsel for the prosecution ; and Mr. Ed wards for the prisoner. The only evidence that really affected the prisoner was this, that two days after the stack had been burned the pri soner, a lad only seventeen years of age, met a constable in the town of Frome, and told him he wanted to speak to him concerning the rick that was burned. The constable asked him if he had any information to give? The prisoner an swered, " A little." The constable said to him, " I sup pose you are aware there is a reward offered?" The pri soner said, " It was a bad job, but no one would ever have it, for he had done it." The constable said, " What could induce you to commit such an act ?" He said, it was through a disturbance he had had with his friends on the Saturday night; he wished to get transported and to leave the country; he had done it with a Lucifer match—he had two in his pocket—with one he had set the rick on fire, and the other he had thrown away; and he had twice thought on the Sunday of giving himself up. The boy bad alwa) been considered a good boy. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended bins to mercy on account of his youth and his previous good character. Mr. Justice EALE then sentenced the prisoner to be im prisoned for six months, with Nord labour. L 0.;.. Harvey and IVilliaN Brown were inAt.t e d for stealing sever a l silver spoons and other articles, the pr o _ perty of Joseph Hoddinott, and burglariously breaking out of the house. Mr. Prideaux was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Edwards and Mr. Salmon defended the prisoners. This was a sad case of profligacy. The female prisoner was a very pretty, delicate-looking girl, only fourteen years of age., She was the granddaughter of the prosecutor, who was in too infirm a ',tate to attend at the assizes, and had been brought up by him. On Saturday evening, the Bth of April, the house of the prosecutor was locked up, and the next morning it was discovered that six silver spoons had been taken out of the cupboard of the parlour. It was proved that on that evening the prisoners, together with a girl named Caroline Smith and a man named Daniels, were at a public-house called the Pineapple, which was in the neighbourhood of the prosecutor's house. The two pri soners went out about eight o'clock, and returned there again about half• past ten o'clock the same night. Harvey and Smith had been sleeping at that public-house for two or three nights, but on that evening the landlady said she would not allow them to remain there that night. Daniels then went away, and shortly afterwards the two prisoners and Smith followed together. About live o'clock the next morning Harvey and Smith called at the house of Mary 1 1 Bishop, who lived at Frome. She got up and let them in, and they remained there a good part of the day. This part of the case was established beyond any doubt, but the whole of the evidence to connect the pri soners with the robbery was given by the woman, Caroline Smith, who gave the following extraordinary account:—" I was in service at Frome. I was about to leave my place, and had another place to go to, in Bath. I did not know the prisoner, but one day she called upon me and made her self known to me. She asked me to go with her to Taunton assizes. I consented to go with her. I had upwards of 31. and Harvey had 1/. We went by cart to Bath, and from thence by railway to Taunton. We went to a public-house and took beds. I slept with the woman servant, and Harvey slept with the landlady's daughter. We accidentally saw John Daniels at Taunton. I had known him for twelve months. I had not passed as his wife. William Brown, who was a stranger to us, came into our room. Daniels frequently came, but he did not sleep with me. We stayed at Taunton about a fortnight. We then all four started for Frome. We walked all the way—forty miles. We were a day and night doing it. Harvey and I went to the Pine apple public-house. On the night in question I recollect the two prisoners going out of the Pineapple, at eight o'clock. They returned again about half-past ten. As the landlady would not allow us to sleep there that night, we left the house. Daniels left us. The three then walked about during the night. Brown said, l'he steam is up, and I must be off.' Harvey said, Pin afraid the spoons will break the glasses of the spectacles.' Brown then pulled some spoons out of his pocket. He asked Harvey if she would meet him in the morning, and she promised to do so. She said to him, Mind, Brown, I shall expect a pair of boots out of the money the spoons fetch.' Brown then went away. Soon afterwards she told me she had been to her grandfather's house that night. The door was open, she pulled off her boots, and went through the house. Her uncle was there paying some rent. She waited till the servant went to bed. She then went to the parlour cupboard, ex pecting to find some money, but there was not any. She took the spoons. She then went to the door and opened it, and called Brown, who was standing outside. He came in, and she asked him to put the spoons in his pocket, which he did. She then gave him some bread and cheese, and took some herself, and then they went away and returned to the Pineapple. After she had told me this I took her to Mary Bishop's. After Brown was in custody, he said he had been led into a pretty scrape through two b—s. Harvey had gone into the house, and had brought out the spoons and given them to him." For the defence, it was urged upon the jury that the whole case rested upon the evidence of the woman Smith, and that it was impossible they could believe her. Witnesses were called who gave Brown a good character, and it was stated, with regard to Harvey, that she had been living with her grandfather and had conducted herself well until just before the Taunton assizes. Mr. Justice ERLE, in summing up, told the jury that there was no evidence upon which they could convict the pri soner, except that of the woman Smith; therefore the whole question was whether they could place any credit in her testimony. The jury, after a very short consultation, returned a ver dict of Not Guilty. Thomas Collard was indicted for cutting and wounding Thomas Burston, with intent to kill and murder him, or to do him some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Salmon conducted the case for the prosecution. Collard and Burston were inmates of the Wellington union workhouse. On the 18th of April Burston asked the prisoner to give him up a steel which belonged to him, but he refused to give it up. Burston then took the prisoner by the collar, and gave him a good shake. The prisoner then drew a knife from his pocket; another man, who was standing by, had a stick, which Burston took from him, and gave the prisoner a couple of cracks below the knee. Burston went indoors, but returned again, and met the prisoner at the door still holding the knife. Burston begged him to put it up, but he said he would not, as he would try to do for him ; and then he commenced an attack upon him with the knife, and inflicted several wounds on his arms, head, and shoulder. The knife was a dinner knife, which all the paupers carried with them. The prisoner was nearly 80 years of age. The jury found the prisoner Guilty with intent to do grievous bodily harm. ENLARGEMENT OF SMITHFIELD MARKET.—A fur ther enlargement of Smithfield market is about to take place, in consequence'of its area not being sufficiently capacious for the accommodation of the numerous beasts. &e., brought on a market day. For this purpose it i s i ntende d to remove about twenty houses, which ‘7lll give a n a ddi t i ona l s p a ce of nearly an acre of ground. The enlargement will take place at the north side, near Charterhouse-lane. The Marquis of Anglesey had 4U interview with Lord John Russell yesterday. PRICE SD. LAUNCH OF THE HADDINGTON. The enterprising and extensive firm of Messrs. Thomas Vernon and Co., launched, on Saturday last, from their new yard at the south end of the town, a very tine iron steam=Ship, called " The Haddington," built for the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, being the fourth iron vessel launched from this yard since the removal of the firm from the north shore about two years ago. The dimensions of this noble vessel are as follow : Length between perpendiculars... 121 feet. Length ON er all Breadth of beam 35 feet. Depth of engine -room 2l feet. Tonnage, old measurement 1,303 18-94ths. new measurement, about 2,000 tans. She is to be barque-rigged, and will be propelled with paddles ; her engines are in the direct acting principle, of 450-horse power, by Messrs, Bnry, Curtis, and Ken nedy. - At an early hour in the morning the Haddington was thronged with a number of the workmen, and the yard was crowded with spectators ; a great number of ladies were also accommodated on a stage erected immediately in front of the bows of the vessel. At about a quarter to eleven o'clock the last support was knocked away, and the huge fabric rested firmly upon the ways, though her towering height gave to her such a toppling appear ance that some slight fears were entertained amongst the uninitiated lest. she should come down on her side. The word to remove the daggers was given, and in a moment the vessel glided smoothly and swiftly away to her destined element, the baptismal ceremony of break ing a bottle of wine across her cutwater being performed in the most graceful manner by Miss Curtis, the amm plished daughter of one of the firm. The Haddington made her plunge stern foremost, in gallant style, amidst the most enthusiastic cheers and amiable good wishes of the persons assembled. We are happy to say that no accident beyond the loss of sYfishing boat occurred to mar the rejoicings on the occasion, and this happened as follows :—the way of the vessel was so great, and she floated so lightly on the water, that she went out a considerable distance into the river, and unfortunately came into contact with the boat, in which were two men, who were unable to avoid the collision, in consequence of having a net down at the time. The boat, though partially swamped, was held up by the rudder of the Haddington for a short time, during which a rope was thrown down and laid hold of by one of the men, who waa at once drawn up in safety. The boat then disappeared, but happily the other man, being a swimmer, was enabled to sustain himself until drawn into the Haddington, through one of her port holes. The vessel was shortly afterwards taken in tow by a steam tug-boat, and was soon safely moored in one of the adjacent docks. After the launch, upwards of three hundred ladies and gentlemen were entertained at luncheon in the mould-room, which was tastefully fitted up for the occa sion, being lined throughout with national flags and evergreens. The repast was provided by Messrs. Fisk and Son, and was of the most sumptuous description. Mr. Vernon, senior. presided. The usual loyal toasts were given and pledged with the heartiest applause, and the healths of the various individuals connected with the firm were also enthusiastically drunk. The com pany, which was composed of the elite of our merchants, with their ladies and daughters, were entertained for a considerable time with remarks very appropriate to the occasion from Mr. S. Holme, Mr. Curtis, Dr. Tatter shall, and other gentlemen, and separated, highly de lighted with the morning's diversion, a little before one o'clock. Messrs. Vernon and Co. have now on the stocks, in a forward state, two other iron steamers, the one being in tended to ply between- this port and Cork, and which, it is expected, will turn out to be the fastest vessel yet built, and the other is to go to Bombay. LAUNCH OF A SPLENDID IRON " LINE-SHIP" WITH AUXILIARY POWER. On Tuesday afternoon, about half-past one o'clock, there was launched from the building-yard of Messrs. James Hodgson and Co., south end of the Brunswick Dock, a large and beautiful iron ship " The Sarah Sands,"—named after the lady of Thomas Sands, Esq., one of owners, intended to run as a regular " liner," between this port and New York, and with a steam worked screw propeller as an auxiliary to her sails. The day was fine, and the concourse of spectators was very great and of high respectability, including many of the " merchant princes" of our town and their fair wives, dau;hters, and relatives. There were various stages and stands erected for their accommodation around the ship, so as to afford a good view of the launch. The ship is of very fine model, built from drawings by our talented townsman, Mr. John Grantham, and ap pears as if she would turn out " a regular clipper." Tire following are her dimensions : Length of keel . . ISS feet. Ditto over figure-head and taffrail 220 Beam Depth of hold 29 6 inches. Tonnage, old measurement ...about 1,000 tons. Ditto, new ditto ...... 1,350 ditto. She is clencher-built, and double-rivetted throughout, th4a strongest system in iron ship-buildi ng , When loaded, she will draw about 18 feet of water, and, though of beautiful form, will carry, in addition to her required fuel, about 1,000 tons of goods. Her after cabins ail comfortably accommodate 60 passengers, and there is ample room for second and third class voyagers. The screw will be turned by a double condensing en gine, of 200 horse-power, working directly upon the shaft, on the principle patented by Mr. Grantham. The diameter of the screw is 14 feet, and is on the principle patented by Mr. Woodcroft, of Manchester. The en gines and boilers are all some feet below the load water line, and, in place of causing top-heaviness, will serve as ballast. Captain W. C. Thompson, formerly of the Stephen Whitney line, is part owner, and will command her. Her rig will be peculiar. She will, from her great length, have four masts, the two in the middle square rigged, (with yards,) and the two at the extremities with fore-and-aft-sails. The vessel is divided into six compartments, by five water-tight bulk-heads, giving great safety in case of collision at sea, or of stranding. The :ship has a fine fiddle-head, with delicately carved donated on the trail boardi. The launch was beautiful. The vessel, on being re leased by the daggers being struck down, glided beauti fully down the ways; but, as if impatient of her prolonged restraint, before her whole bulk reached the water, she kicked out the fore part of her cradle, as if she fancied she would have rocking enough on the ocean hereafter. She scraped the top of.the river wall with her fore foot, but so slightly, that no damage resulted. The cheers, on her floating offend darting towards the Cheshire side, were loud and enthusiastic. Her name was given by Miss Sands, the accomplished daughter of the principal owner, and the young lady performed the ceremony in the most spirited manner. We noticed present, on the platform near Mr. Sands, Dr. Tattershall, Messrs. James Tyrer, W. Jevons, Joshua Edwards, W. Drury, Kerr, Mould, Foster, Moulds, Prestman, and many others of our mercantile tiwnsmen, whom we could not distinguish in the crowd. Immediately after the launch, which took place at about half past one o'clock, the invited company, to the number of upwards of 400 ladies and gentleman, sat down to a substantial and superb dejeun r in the mould room of Messrs. Hodgson's establishment. The apart ment, which is of great size, was celled and completely lined with British and American flags—even the windows on all sides covered by them, as with fancy gauze curtains. There were ten tables across the room, and one long table uniting them on the east side, at which the Chairman, Mr. Sands, sat, with his more im mediate relatives and friends near him. The appearance of this temporary banquet-room was truly splendid ; and Mr. Lynn. of the Waterloo, who provided the ro la• ast did himself quite as much honour as at the dejeuner given to Prince Albert. Ho excelled all his former doings in this way, if we may so speak. The viands were excellent, and the wines of the best quality, In the confectionary line he exhibited his usual taste and tact ; there being amongst them pyramids of sweet things, surmounted by beautiful flags of pastry, banners of silk, with gold fringes, emblazoned or representing the national colours of England and America. All of these were minute and beautiful. On several of these little emblems were inscribed " The Sarah Sands." After the repast, which all seemed to enjoy, Mr. SANDS successively gave the usual loyal toasts, which were drunk with enthusiasm. He afterwards proposed the health of our worthy diocesan, 44 The Bishop of Chester," which was received with equal good • feeling. Dr. TATTERSHALL having been alluded to in con nexion with the toast, said be knew it did not apply to one individual, but to the whole body of the clergy, and he felt the compliment the more highly on this account. He had reason highly to esteem the Bishop under whom he officiated as an excellent man and a Christian. With. out religion they could have no sound morality ; and without morality no nation could enjoy true prosperity. He concluded a feeling address by proposing " the health of the lady after whom the vessel had been named." The CHAIRMAN called upon his eldest son to reply, which he did in brief, appropriate, and feeling terms. The CHAIRMAN, in a neat address, complimentary to the brotherly feeling towards the " old country," evinced by Brother Jonathan, proposed "The health of the Pre sident of the United States," which, as were the other toasts, was received with three-times-three hearty cheers. Mr. OGDEN replied. A gentleman, whose name we did not ascertain, after some remarks on the progress of steam navigation, steam power, &c. (in which he instanced the possibility of the Queen shortly visiting, on a pleasure trip, her brother potentate, the Emperor of China!) proposed success to " The Sarah Sands," and all connected with her. Mr. SANDS returned thanks in feeling terms; and after stating that Captain Thompson, who was to com mand her, was a gentleman of groat nautical experience, and he doubted not would do justice to the ship, pro posed Captain Thompson's health, which was of course drunk with repeated cheers. Captain THO3IPSON returned thanks. The health of Mr. Grantham, the architect of the ship; of Messrs. Hodgson, the builders; and others, were received with equal enthusiasm; but we have to regret that there was a difficulty, from the crowded state of the room, in hearing much that was said, so that we cannot report it. . 7- 7 ' ______-------- i~ ~' ~- Warm, rf thi , r.;-1 - 11“1 to the toast of " The Press," which was proposed by the Chairman in a most complimentary manner. Ile con cluded by proposing " The Lancashire Witches." In the course o the proceedings, Mr. BLAIN expressed his opinions on steam navigation, and the progress of commercial and nautical science, in a manner highly gra tifying to all present. We understuut the firm of J. Hodgson and Co. built the first iron ship to trade between this port and Chins, and the East. They are also the build e r s o f t h e first iron steamer to connect Liverpool with the continent of South America, and likewise the first iron screw steamer that has ascended the River Plate. The Sarah Sands is the first liner that has been built in Liverpool for a con siderable time, and, being of iron, we have reason to hope that Liverpool will h a v e i n ti me a f a i r s h a re o f Ameri can building trade.—Liverpool Courier. /-...-- i ~ ~/ MUSICAL GOSSIP. PARIS.—The Prince Poniatowsky is writing an opera for the Academie Royale. A new ballet, called Etty, with a new Italian dancer, Mae. Fuoco, has been pro duced with moderate success. The c(acqueurs are furious about Mdlle Flinn, but the ft uilletonistes are at variance. Theophile Gaunier is very warm. Jules Janin very cold about the matter. It appears, from what we can gather, that Mc?lle. Film() is pretty, agile, and strong, but that her style of dancing %anti; variety, An cold, a new basso much talked of, will, it is said, make his appearance, with Madame Sto!z - and Gardoni, in the new opera or Rossini. VlENNA.—Balfe's opera of the Bohemian Girl was produced here on the 24th of July. The overture was encored, as were also the cavatina of the tenor in the first act, the duet between the tenor and bass, Arline's romance, the quartet, the air of the tenor, the trio, and the last rondo of the prima donna. In all, seven pieces were encored—nearly the whole opera. This success amongst the phlegmatic Viennese, who, unlike the Italians, arc most difficult to excite, is unparalleled. NAPLES.—Bazzini, the violinist, is creating a great sensation at the Teatro del Fondo, where he has given three concerts. SEVILLE.—Moriani has been playing here—Lucia and Lucrezia, as usual, were the operas. One would imagine that he knew no others. BOLOGNA.—The news of the political amnesty ac corded by the new Pope arrived at Bologna in the after noon of the 21st of July. To celebrate this act of clemency, the members of the Philharmonic Society organised a concert a l'improvisite, which took place the same night in the grand piazza. Rossini hastily adapted a hymn of thanks, improvised by a Bolognese poet, to the music of the final chorus of La Donna del Lago, which was afterwards sung by the whole populace that crowded the piazza. VICENZA.— Verdi's Attila has been attended with some success, according to the papers. The singers were La Barbieri Nini, La Colzari, Varesi, and Bond* Louisa Fitzjarnes is the dancer here in vogue, and pleases in Girdle. MILAN.—As soon as Perrot arrives, his clever ballet of Catarina will be prepared at the Scala. Lucile Grahn will represent the heroine. According to La France Musicale, Rossini is engaged in writing his own memoirs, which are to be positively published in the winter. The poet Mery will correct the proofs. Great consternation is expressed at the menace of this book, from certain per sons who have reason to think they shall be exposed to the satirical severity for which the " Swan of Pesare " is famous.—Musical World. WESTMINSTER BRIDGE. The piers of the bridge were built on caissons without bearing piles under them. The bed of the river for a consi derable depth under the caissons is loose gravel. The exist ing foundations were designed and calculated for much smaller piers with a light wooden superstructure for a bridge. The third pier from the centre began to sink, so that two arches lost their circular figure, and some of their principal stones fell into the water, before the bridge was finished. The quality of the masonry is bad, and the superstructure never can be made a very solid and secure work. In the course of ninety years however the fabric had comparatively consolidated. The removal of old London-bridge again dis turbed its repose. Between 1823 and 1835 the river fifty feet below Westminster-bridge had deepened its chan nel six or seven feet by its own action. To a certain extent, the same operation had been in progress under the bridge, and the piers being thus deprived of their liberal support, again became unsteady. In 1844, the 17- feet east pier had gone down nine inches, and was three inches off the perpendicular. Between the 7th May, 1845, and the 19th May, 1846, this pier sunk 1 3 / 4 inches; and the 16-feet east pier about 1% inch. In the beginning of July, the 17-feet pier was found to have sunk 2-10ths of an inoh additional; and the 16-feet pier 1-10th. The continued sinking of the two piers has affected the stones of the 72- feet arch which rests upon them ; an open joint is percep tible in the soffits, and one of the south-face stones has dropped down about half an inch. The palliatives recom mended by various distinguished engineers are all objection. able ; one would cost 120,000/. ; another would obstruct the na. vigation; and even were they carried into effect, none of the proposers will guarantee the stability of the bridge, In addition to its insecurity the bridge is very inconvenient. Its inclination is greater than that of any bridge over a tidal river in England; for 50 yards at each end it is one in 14i, and about lin 33 for the remainder. The surface of the road is five steps below the footpaths on both acclivities ; and near the ends of the bridge the carriage -way is only 22 feet. Sir James M'Adam stated, in 1844, that 6,600,000 horses passed Charing-cross annually, and of that thoroughfare he con. sidered the largest proportion, particularly the heavy car- riages, passed over the bridge. The annual expense of management in salaries is 1,487/. ; from sth April, 1810, to sth April, 1838, 83,097/. were expended in repairs ; from sch April, 1838, to sth April, 1844, 81,341/. ; front sth April, 1844, to sth July, 1846, 25,782/ ; in all, 190,2201. There are genie arrears due for works during the <in..o period on the bridge, which will raise this sum to not less than, 200,0001. The repairs still remaining to be made, and the London -bridge, ivdening of the b r id ge to equa l t h e width of London-bridge, would cost 100,01;0/. more. The bridge mato consists of 10,000/. in Consols, and lands and houses esti mated in 1843 at 172,521/. The following are the resolutions of the Select Committee appointed to consider the present state of Westm bridge, of the new Palace a t W estminster, &c. .aster " 1. That the majority of the witnesses who have been examined on the point concur in the statement, that the foundations of Westminster-bridge having been originally vicious, the bridge can never be perm anent l y sound. "2. That the expense of completing the alterations and repairs now in progress or in contemplation, according to contracts and designs under the superintendence of the Bridge Commissioners, 'will be very considerable, amounting at the least to 70,0001. " 3. That this expenditure will still leave the bridge in a state requiring constant attention in respect to repairs, and without any certainty of permanent security; while it wilt likewise leave the water-way far less adequate to the re quirement of the navigation, particularly when the con traction of the stream by the embankment in front of the New Palace is considered, than would be the case under a new bridge. _ " 4. That, irrespective of the approaches, the expense of a new stone bridge near the site of the present bridge, and retaining the present bridge for temporary use, would not exceed 360,0001., according to the highest of the estimates for that object which have been furnished to the Committee, either in 1844 or in the present year. " 5. That the bridgeestates would probably furnish a clear surplus of at least 100,0002 in aid of the f un d s f or the erec tion of a new bridge. " 6. That Parliament having by direct grants from the Exchequer (the remaining expenditure having been pro vided by money raised in lotteries, under Acts of Parliament) furnished a large part of the expense of erecting originally the present bridge, and having constituted the commission under which the said bridge was erected, and has since been administered, and having, by sec. 20 of the 9th Geo. IL, c. 29, declared that the said bridge shall be extra-parochial, and by sec. 21, that it shall not be a county bridge, main tainable as such bridges are, by county rates, has recognised and sanctioned the principle that this bridge, which is thus by law excluded from other support, shall be maintained, and when needful, repaired, restored, and rebuilt, at the expense of the State. ;'• 7. That, in these circumstances, a sufficient case has been made out to justify this Committee in recommending to the House, that the present bridge be pulled down, and Mat a new bridge be constructed ; and that a Bill be brought into Parlia— ment next session to transfer to the Commissioners of her Majesty's Woods, &c., the estates and property of the Bridge Commissioners, due consideration being had to the claims of the officers of the Bridge Estates, if their services should ba discontinued." EDUCATION IN THE SWISS CANTONSO--11l these re publican communities, possessed with their peculiar national jealousy of anything that hampers individual liberty, it is compulsory on parents to send their children to school. The poverty of their parents is great, yet they do not think of eking out the family meal by the scanty earnings of the child withdrawn from the lessons of the teacher, to work. In the increased sobriety, forethought, and self-respect which education inspires, they find abundant recompense for the temporary privations which the expense of that educa tion, slight as it is, imposes. With its population of 2,200,000. little more than that of London and its suburbs, Switzerland has thirteen large and efficient normal schools, in which the future schoolmaster receives not only an intellectual but a partially industrial training. England, with its population of sixteen millions, has only six normal or schoolmasters' schools which deserve the name. In Switzerland, then, where each canton has its own internal government, we see a great and efficient scheme of education at work. Here the formal instruction of the school is succeeded by the practical training of industrial or agricultural life. There is no antagonism between the two. Except in the Catholic can• tons, where the Jesuits limit all speculation of a religious kind, opinion and action are free in Switzerland. The edu• cation bears its fruits. It has been in operation only since 1832 ; but in the younger part of the population, who alone have enjoyed the benefits of it, its results are perceptible in their increased sobriety, industry, and forethought. --Douglas Jerrold's Weekly Newspaper. STEAM NAVIGATION.--The Steam Navigation Bill (recently introduced into the House of Commons by Sir G. Clerk, Sir G. Cockburn, and Mr. Corry) has j us t been matted as amended by the Committee, and a re-commitment. Se• veral new clauses have been added, which enact that steamers are to be provided with paddle-box boats ; that a penalty not exceeding 100/. is to be enforced on owners of vessels not transmitting the required declarations most recently made with respect of such vessels; that all indictments arising out of this Act are to be preferred by direction of the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council, or Commissioners of Cus toms; and that this Act is not to r e p ea l th e Passengers' Act, 5 and 6 Vict. c. 107. METROPOLITAN BUILDINGS.—An interesting return has just been issued, by order of Parliament, of fees received by surveyors of districts under the Metropolitan Buildings Act, 7 and 8 Vict. c. 84, from which it appears that the fees received from the Ist January, 1845, to March, 1846, amounted altogether to 20,064/. 16s. Bd. This does not in clude any fees arising on works in progress at Ist January, 1845, under the former Building Act, 14 Geo. 111. c. 78. The above fees were received on 16,016 buildings complo-ted, and 3,000 in progress. _ _ EXECUTION AT YORK.—On Saturday John Roddy suffered the extreme penalty of the law at York Castle, for the murder of his infant at Skipton, in Craven.
