A remarkable production is here coral - neatest:l. which if complettd with any ability compatible ta , that evidenced by the beitial volume—will at once assume an honourable position as a standard autho rity in law literature. The author has admirably qualified himself for the composition of the work by tbn'e protracted studies and laborious researches, and various and extended practice, which could alone enable him to pronounce upon the subject-matter in hand with any degree of judgment. There was a lack of some work of precisely this character. Whenever an important enterprise in letters is ad ventured upon, we know perfectly well that the critic is sure to discover that hitherto there was ma nifestly some extraordinary hiatus in that particular department. Although liable, therefore, to he charged with the same cant phrase of the ordinary reviewer, we must repeat that the volume here submitted to us for consideration is precisely what has been long re quired, and what will consequently be peculiarly' welcome to the legal bibliographer. Our author un dertakes in the course of his present interesting lite rary enterprise to specify the exact nature of the training necessary for the proper education of the Advocate. He purposes, moreover, to relate the Practice of the Advocate, the Rights of the Ad vocate, and the Duties of the Advocate—a prac tice sometimes very complicated, rights al ways peculiarly elevated, and duties invariably dis tinguished by their responsibility. It must not be erroneously imagined, n evertheless, that the chapters constituting this important legal treatise present attractions solely and exclusively to the professionel man—to the Attorney or Barrister-at-Law. It is diametrically otherwise. No one, whatever his pur suits, can peruse those chapters without deriving from them a very considerable amount of information. Mr. Cox addresses himself to the extraordinary questions which he has here undertaken to solve with, mani festly enough, the fullest appreciation of their difficulty. As a tolerably clear assurance that the work will be in no respect super ficial, we may mention that the author has formally dedicated the result of his industry in the matter to no less distinguished an authority than Lord Denman. The terms in which this dedication is couched are honourable alike to the author of the work and to the eminent man to whom it is inscribed. "In the performance of this task," says Mr. Cox, "I have sought to set up the high standard of acquire ment and of conduct that has made the bar of Eng land, for so many centuries, the nursery of its noblest and truest gentlemen—the school of its statesmen — and the profession of those patriots to whose courage, independence, and honesty, the liberties of the land have been more than once indebted for their salvation." This is a lofty and befitting spirit in which to enter upon the composition of a well digested treatise on the training, practice, rights and duties of the British advocate. It is a mood in which the members of the English bar will discover abundant evidence that the writer has understood the dignity, the value, and the importance of their common profession. Another source of interest in the undertaking here commenced is the peculiarity, and we may even say the actual peril of the positions in which the advocate is placed at the present junc ture. "My Lord," says Mr. Cox, upon this subject, in one of the most solemn and effective parts of his able and judicious dedication, 6 6 I much fear that the glory of the Bar of England has departed, that its sun has set, and that it is doomed to destruction, or to a change of character and position that will be more lamentable than destruction." This has reference, of course, to the extraordinary changes which have recently taken place in the constitution of the British bar—changes which do in many respects justify our author in con jecturing the possibility of its disorganization. Whether the treatise before us, however, be regarded as relating to the past or to the future, it will always retain its interest as a masterly delineation of the character long maintained in this country by the advocate, to his own credit and the advantage also of the general population. As illustrative, in a rapid and yet complete and comprehensive manner, of the elaborate nature of the treatise here penned by Mr. Cox, we may refer cursorily to the heads under which its constituent portions are classi fied. After a very intelligent introduction, pre paring the way for his argument, the author succes sively particularises the capacities required in the advocate, and his various natural, physical, and mental qualifications. He comments at appropriate length upon such topics as the " pecuniary resources," the " will and courage," as well as upon the moral, in tellectual, and physical "training" of the advocate. Under the division referring to the moral training, he devotes one chapter to the consideration of "practical morals." Under the division referring to physical training, he dedicates another chapter to the " art of speaking." While under the more complex division referring to the intellectual training, he enters more at large into the subject of the re sponse by successive passages, informing the student specifically how to study, how to read, what to read, explaining the nature of professional studies, the ad vantage of studies that educate, and the benefit of studies for information. During the course of the chapter upon the last mentioned theme, Mr. Cox re veals a capacity for the systematising of human know ledge, entitled, we conceive, to the very highest and treatiseot pe s o most ardent admiration. A happier illustrati o n of his sluciditypos sibly b e and add uced than though tfulness that as portion rt in of writer o which immediately follows the supposition his s f whose mind is a blank being suddenly a person awakened to sensation with the capability and desire ofreceiving instruction. Here follows his grand and elevating argument. He says this man would inevitatbly, on first looking about him, inquire " Where am I?" Contemplating himself—" his form so curious and his feelings so strange"—he would next inquire—" What am I?" After which, meditating upon the world within and without, striving instinctively to penetrate the " mystery of existence"—he would inquire " Why am I?" Under the replies accorded to these three inquiries, says our author, will be found arrayed in their natural order the " entire circle of human knowledge." The thought is wonderfully ingenious, and we conceive also wonderfully admirable. 6 ` Stu dying upon a ball that rolls in infinite space, a part of a planetary system, itself a part of another system, the individual already supposed to have awakened to con sciousness would find in answer to his first inquiry Where am I?' that Astronomy teaches the relation of this globe to the rest of creation—Geology, the past history of the earth—Geography, the aspect of its sur face—Chemistry and Mineralogy, its composition— Botany, the vegetation clothing it—Natural History, the living creatures inhabiting it—Meteorology, its a tmosphere—Electricity and Galvanism and Magnet ism, the subtle fluids by which its whole mass is per meated —Mechanics and Hydrostatics, and Hydrody namics, the laws of motion and not as the result of gravitation. In answer to his second inquiry, What am .1" ?' this man would next learn from Anatomy, the mechanism of the human frame ; from Physiology, its functions; from Mental Philosophy, the anatomy and physiology of the mind, building up the golden framework of Metaphysics ; while, from the relationship of this mind and body with the external world, he would find revealed through Optics the science of sight—through Aeons tics the science of sound —through M a thematics and Geometry the appreciation of s p ace in all its form and amplitude—through Arithmetic the notion of numbers—through Grammar a nd Lo g ic the faculty of thought—through Rhetoric a nd Languages the capacity of speech—through the Fine Arts the sense of the beautiful—through the Useful Arts the inge nuity of construction. Finally, from the replies eli cited by the third and loftiest query, Why am I ' the imaginary inquirer would (says our author) be conducted successively to Moral Philosophy, to Poli tical Philosophy, and to Religion—to Moral Philo sophy showing the relation of man to man as indi viduals—to Political Philosophy as revealing the duties and relationship of men as members of the community—and ultimately to the noblest study of all that can be conceived by the human intellect, to Religion, disclosing the relation actually existing between man and his Omnipotent Creator." In this really masterly arrangement of human knowledge, we recognise a scope and capacity in our author's intel lect very greatly elevated above the generality. Re member, moreover, that, in referring to this portion of the treatise we are alluding to one of the most incidental in character. Possibly for that very rea son, however, it may be the most judiciously ac cepted as an illustration of the remarkable ability shown by Mr. Cox in the volume of his new work on " The Advocate." - - CIRCULAP.,..

An account was given a short time ago of the dis !°very of the means of producing fresh water fish to aA immense extent, by preserving the eggs of the mal e and applying to them, at the suitable ti me, th e Lunt of the male •, and it was stated that an exten '• e applicati on o f t h e sys t em had already been made , most extraordinary suc cess in numerous rivers and s treams in different parts of France. The French c ''l rl araent, in order to increase the food of the people, and to create a new branch of commerce, has r av eso lved still further to extend the application of the stem ; and it has directed several eminent scientific eiarilretnen to oc cu py themselves with it, and espe wat Yto asc er t a i n whether it can be applied to salt its instructions, a s well as to fresh water fish. In execution o f M. C os t e , member of the Institute, and professor of the College de France, has visited an establi sh f o ment for producing fish near Huningen , ;uaed by MM . Berthot and D etzem , eng ineers of the it n ca nal from the Rhone to the Rhine, to see whether , i 'iahnot be made to supply all sorts of fish in suffi andut, quantities to stock all the rivers, streams, canals, ef his in the country, M. Coste has given an account terioisp,sion in a lung report to the Minister of the In jest e ," Agriculture, and Commerce ; and the report has tot; been published for public information. After briefly mentioning the vast importance of the discovery, and o P r actical that the credit of having turned it e t _ ctical account belongs to two fishermen,lncarn Costs s 'l t : t hla and Remy of Bresse, in the Vosges, os. n conjunction that he has ascertained by experiments made junction with Messrs. Berthot and Detzem that ant e ggs of the fish may be conveyed any distance and water without losing any of their qualities, ~that they may be made, by a very rat simple appa th_ll°, to become excluded or hatched, more safely 44 When deposited by the females in beds of streams. this plan, M. Coste asserts that it is possible to get i' i w in c yield s of fish instead of one in the same period of acar e ' and thereby to stock all the waters in France at 14 e el; any expense. He then goes on to say that staens.,sr.s. Berthot and Detzem have this year, notwith d,,_eu.i.ng their resources have only been scanty, pro tia"„e,.ool in the reservoirs of the canal, not fewer than a lutraul of of trout and salmon.

He next uovv the extensive reservoirs, which exist or —ditly,be created at Huningen,. .will allow the fish to be th vii n 'ed according to their species and age ; and how n -- „ e , it'll, when grown up to a certain size, may, if re rred be removed from place to place. He proceeds . state that a sum of 22,000 f. will be sufficient to prepare the establishment of Huningen for what is re- Itlired ' and an allowance of B,ooof. a ye ar enou g h to k eep it up. In the course of his report M. Coste '"es occasion to mention the curious experiment he m ade;, some time ago of producing salmo n in a vessel the College de France, by s im p l y causing ; e ggs to flow from a cistern over fecunded ; and he says that the salmon so p roduced are at present more than two inches in length, o ne fifth of which they have grown within the elast nty -five days. He further announces that l i e ,as likewise succeeded in producing, also at th e Col lege de France, a considerable number of lobsters ; and he dwells on the importance to the country of in ofeal‘sing the pr o d uc ti o n of that and other descripti ons eees s ' el i fieh. M.

She has 152,000 dollars in specie on freight. The America sailed f rom Boston at noon cn the 4th inst., and at 2.20 A.M. on the sth passed the steam ship Niagara, hence for Boston ; at 1.20 A.M. on the Wh the America grounded going up Halifax Harbour, but so slightly as to be scarcely perceptible. She arrived at Halifax at noon on the Gth, and at 5.17 P.M. again proceeded to sea, having been detained 33 hours by the Admiral on t h e station. Sh e came north about," and arri ve d i n the Mersey at a quar ter past twelve to-day. The America will go into the graving dock to morrow, for examination, and will sail at her ap pointed time on Saturday. The steamship Hermann arrived at New York, from Southampton, on the 31 ; and the steam-ship Niagara, hence for B os t on, arrived at Ha lif ax on the 31. The steam-ship Asia, hence for new York, was passed at ten A.M. yesterday, 285 miles from Liver pool. The steam-ship Ohio had arrived at New York • from Aspenwall, with 219,299 dolls. in specie on freight, and 100,000 dolls, in the hands of pas sengers. Congress was to adjourn on tEe 31st of August, whether the public business WAS done or not. In the Senate, on the 2d, a message was received from the President, in answer to Mr. Mason's resolu tion calling for information respecting the fisheries, transmitting a report of the Acting Secretary of State, and stating that Commander Perry, with the steam-frigate Mississippi, had been dispatched there to protect American rights. Mr. Cass moved its re ference to the Committee on Foreign Relations. The g reater part of the correspondenc e accompany i ng the message has been printed heretofore, as it embraces all that has taken place on the subject since 1823, a large part of which was sent to the Senate in February, 1845. The following letter is, however, interesting:— N s. CRAMPTON TO SIR. WEBSTER. " Washington, July 5. " Sir,—l have been directed by her Majesty's Govern ment to bring to the knowledge of the Government of the United States a measure which has been adopted by her Majesty's Government to prevent a repetition of the complaints which have so frequently been made of the encroachment of vessels belonging to citizens of the United States and of France upon the fishing grounds reserved by the convention of 1818. Urgent representa tions having been addressed to her Majesty's Govern ment by the Governments of the North American pro vinces in regard to these encroachments, whereby the colonial fisheries are most seriously prejudiced, directions have been given by the Lords of her Majesty's Admiralty for stationing off New Brunswick, Prince Edward's Is land, and in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, such a force of small sailing vessels and steamers as shall be deemed suf ficient to prevent the infraction of the treaty. It is the command of the Queen that the officers employed should be specially enjoined to avoid all interference with ves sels of all friendly Powers except where they are vio lating the treaty, and upon all occasions to avoid giving grounds of complaint by harsh or unnecessary proceed ings where circumstances compel their arrest or seizure. " I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to you the assurance of my high consideration. " JNO. F. CRAMPTON." Acting Secretary Hunter, under date of July 6, acknowledged the receipt of this note. Mr. Cass addressed the Senate for more than an hour in examination of the treaty of 1818, and in reading from the Instructions and correspondence of the Commissioners who negotiated that treaty, as well as the correspondence between the British Com missioner and Minister upon the subject, showing that the British construction was wholly untenable. He contended that the American construction was the proper one. lie alluded to the importance of the interests engaged in the fisheries, and strenuously urged that they should be protected by all the power of the United States if necessary. He re garded the movement of Great Britain as most ex traordinary. Mr. Davis said his opinion, expressed some time since, that there was no cause for alarm, and that no war would grow out of this matter, was still unchanged. Still he considered there was much in it of an irritating and vexatious character. He had listened to the Senator from Michigan with much pleasure. Incidentally connected with the matter was the question of reciprocity. He now protested against any settlement of the reciprocity question by treaty. He would never yield that ques tion to be determined by negotiation. He did not be lieve Congress would consent to yield the control of the revenues of the country to the treaty making power. One year the wants of the Government would require a revenue of 40,000,000 dollars, and the next year 80,000,000 dollars, perhaps, would be necessary. While events were so uncertain the question of the revenue of the country should never be placed beyond the power of Congress. It would never do to limit by treaty the revenues of the nation. To do so would be an encroachment upon the fundamental principles of the Constitu tion. So jealous was the C ons titution thet it wou ld not permit the Senate i n i ts l eg i s l a tive capacity to originate money Bill s . Sh ou ld s uch a treaty come to the Senate, it Would never meet with his approbation. He considered this movement on the part of Great Britain as intended as a stroke of policy which might result as a dangerous one, and the colo nies might perhaps find out that the object they had in view was not to be advanced by it. He then examined the question of right, and pronounced the construction passed on the treaty by Great Britain as altogether erroneous. He did not think a war would grow out of this. He did not think Great Britain wanted a war, but if she did she could have it. He would never surrender any right to her. Mr. Hamlin, followed in a critical exam i nat i on o f th e treaty, an d ' of the correspondence at the time of its negotiation._ He maintained that th e A mer i can interpretation of the treaty of 1818 was correct, and that it was 5 n 5 " . tained by all the authorities. He considered that the conduct of Great B r it a i n could not b e su bmitted to without disgrace an d di shonour. He h a d eluded when the subject was postponed. The newspapers are much more moderate in the ir tone when discussing the fisheries' question, and th i e excitement appears to have abated considerab y throughout the Union.

I advanced THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO BELGIUM DOVER, AUG. 16. The royal Yachts have passed down the Channel, hugging the French coast. They were about seven miles southward of Dover at 3.15 r.rd. No salute was fired, the squadron being too far from the Dover shore. The weather thick, wind moderate, but freshening. A distressing accident occurred on board the Ra vensbourne, from Antwerp, one of the General Steam Navigation Company's vessels, while saluting the royal yacht on passing. An old man-of-war's man, John Castles, and who has been for many years in the service of the company, was employed in firing the signal carronade, when, upon the seeond discharge, owing to the explosion of the cartridge while in the act of ramming it home, one of the poor fellow's hands, with the thumb and a portion of the other hand, were blown off, his wrist and arm were frightfully shattered, and several severe injuries were inflicted upon his face and other parts of his person. The cause of the accident appears to have arisen from not exercising sufficient caution with respect to the closing of the vent hole. Th e ca rpenter, wh o was engaged in closg the vent, did not, it is said, sufficiently cover it with his thumb, and was at the time of the explosion also severely in jured in his hand. Both the sufferers were conveyed on board her Majesty's ship Retribution, where pro per surgical assistance was readily afforded. The carpenter's wound was immediately dressed, and he returned to his own vessel. The gunner was taken into the cockpit, where the lion. Captain Drummond stated that every possible attention should be paid to the poor man, and that if well enough to be removed, he should he landed at Spithead or some other place, where he would receive every assistance. The accident excited a strong feeling of int erest among, and threw a gloom over, the passengers and crew of the Ravensbourne. " Poor Jack" was highly respected by his messmates, and, in consequence of his invariably firing guns w Th ben e occasion required, was c alled the " Gunner." circumstances under which the accident took place— the sufferer being upwards of sixty years of age , and having a wife and large family dependent upon hi m for support—induced the passengers, before sending the poor fellow on board the frigate, to commence a subscription for his benefit, and in the short space of about a quarter of an hour a sum of 201. was col a lected, e hands C t e e n d me , ore fn whichnt wh d eas p ma l al captain,i scgoehdt, drawn h w tee i t t hh be eup t the man's a e haptupdbl essdit g. signed c eoT o dr n hhb s e e iymf n ot t lh , noe in wpa i t nan h s i t sengers .:)rrboa b r e d ar : man — On sta d the Ravensbourne, off Flushing, August August 15, 1852. -er- " The passengers of the Ravensbo urne, whi ch loft Antwerp at three o'clock thi s afternoon, having ex pressed a desire to pay her Ma j est y —whose yacht anc hored off Ternouse — every ma rk of res p ec t in their po w er, instructions were g iven b y the captain to was fire a salute from the ship's carronade on passing the Victori a and Albert.

Should it be found practicable for car riagesg and a railroad, two marked advantages over the South pass will at once present themselves. In the first place, the distance to the Pacific is shortened by some 700 or 800 miles; and secondly, the winters are so mild in this latitude as to make it certain that from natural causes no impediment to travel would exist at any season of the ,ear." We have advices from the city of Mexico to the 14th ult. Great excitement was manifested in conse quence of the daring depredations of the Indians, the Yucatecas tribe having attacked a town not more than 100 miles from the capital. It is said that several battles had been fought between the Mexicans and Indians, i n which the fo rmer were defeated with con siderable loss.

We extract the follo win g from the Ministerial journal of yesterday eve nin g. :— satisfactory w ith perfect confidence as. sureour factory termination of the SVe believe readers the e e at dispute on the subject of t he North American fisheries —a dispute, we may observe, that has been treated much more seriously in newspaper controversy and hus tings speeches than in the communications of the British and American Governments. The terms on whi c h the matter is likely, we may say, certain, to be adj us t e d are extremely simple, and as it will be seen p er f ect l y equit able. They are terms of absolute reciprocity, as far as the right of fishing is concerned. The Am er icans are to be at liberty to fish in all British wa ters, the British to fish in all American waters, subject on both sides to the general law which prohibits the vessels of foreigners to fish within less than three miles of the shore of any country to which they do not belong—the three miles to be measured from the nearest land, without distinction of bay or open sea. This general law, as we have before observed, is absolutely necessary for fiscal and police purposes; and, therefore, there can be nothing offensive or invidious in its enforcement, whether by British or American authorities. We may add that, upon a care ful review of all that has occurred, the American Go vernment acknowledges that no offence has yet been offered to it, though it slightly conilains that a notice had not been given by the British Government of its purpose of protecting the three miles border of the sea with mere vigilance than before. Such a notice, bow ever, upon a further consideration, it has been ad mitted, would have been equivocal, if not positively insulting, as implying a suspicion that the Government of the United States had connivA. at a contraband fishery. DEPARTURE OF THE MAILS FOR THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, CALCUTTA, 6-c. PLYMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Lady Jocelyn screw steam-ship, Captain N. Stewart, sailed this afternoon with the mails for St. Vincent's, Sierra Leone, St. Vin cent's, Cape of Good Hope, Mauritius, and Calcutta. This splendid vessel (built by Mr. Mare, our worthy M.P.), which is a sister ship to the Queen of the South, resembles her in all internal fitments as well as general model. Sho arrived here from the river yesterday morning, and has since been visited by a number of per sons taking an interest in naval architecture, all of whom speak of her in the highest terms, us one of the most complete specimens of ship-building afloat. The visitors are warm also in their acknowledgments of the kindness and attention shown them by Captain Ford, the company's superintendent, who accompanied the vessel to this port, and Mr. Laming, the local agent. In addition to the mails, which are under the charge of Commander James Bridges, R.N., the Lady Jocelyn has 200 tons of general cargo and 50,0001. in specie, and about 50 passengers. Among the latter aro Lieutenant- Colonel M'Duff and servant, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Ar diene, the Misses Derom (2), Ensign Egan and Mrs. Egan, Deputy Assistant Commissary General Allinson, Mrs. Allinson, and three children; Deputy Assistant Commissary General Baker, Mrs. Baker, and four chil dren, for the Cape. Mr. W. Johnson, Mr. James Scott, Mr. J. Lambert, Mr. Ogilvie, Mr. and Mrs. Chapman and two female servants, Miss Chapman and friend, for the Mauritius. Captain J. P. Coode and Mrs. Coode, Mr. H. Winch, Mr. and Mrs. Ratcliff, Captain and Mrs. May and child, Lieutenant Wiscott, and Quartermaster Daines, for Madras. Mr. Charles Wright, for Ceylon; and Mr. G. I. Wight, for Calcutta. During her stay at this port the Lady Jocelyn has been supplied from the dockyard with one of Porter's anchors, 42 cwt., and two Brown and Redpath's fire hearths, which have been substituted for Grant's cook ing apparatus, with which the ship was before supplied. It is but justice to Mr. Grant to add that in this instance, as in that of the Queen of the South, his apparatus, which has been found to fully answer in our ships of war, c h o a o s k b s, ee w n ho su a p p p p l e a a n r te t d o b s e im s p o ly per fr p o le m xe w d a w nt ith of th sk e il n l eiwn theap paratus as to utterly despair of mastering a knowledge of its requirements. It will be recollected the cook of the Queen of the South attempted to commit suicide in consequence of vexation at not being able to succeed in his art with Grant's apparatus.

FIE,—To-morrow's list exhibits sewn stakes, and is headed, as usual, with that 'yclept the nuncios. Thi s i s run over the mile-and-a-quarter c3urse, and, out of 's subscription of fifteen, will probably hove half a dozen Et the post, including RADuLPHUs and tho Sophistry Lilly, who will, I have very little doubt, occupy the first and second places. The Ebor St. Leger, it i 3 saii, will attract but a small field, which will be selected from the following:—Daniel O'Rou r k e , Bst 131 b; Scekbut, B st 71 b (d); Lucio, Bst 71 b (d); Caracara, Sit 71b; Frantic, Bst 71b; the Golden Age, Bst 7lb (d); and Alfred the Greatt, Bst 71b (d). It will be seen by the foregoing list that Daniel, Caracara, and Frantic are the only certain runners. Scott's horse and FRANTic will, I fancy, finish first and second; and in givin g the third place to Caracara I have a notion that th e resu l t i s foresha d owe d. The field for the Yorkshire Oaks (mile and a quarter) will comprise the following:—Bird on the Wing, Am monia, Evadne, Merry Bird, Hirsute, Kate, Snowdrop, and perhaps another or two. The result will probably show BIRD oN THE WING and AMMONIA in the first anti second places, with Evadne close up. The Convivial Stakes, I understand, will have a large field, consisting, amongst others, of Defiance, Bst 51b, Sittingbourne, Bst 31b, Auld Acquaintance, Bst 21b, filly by Melbourne, B st 21 b , filly by Assault, sat 11h, Nicotine, 7st 131 b, filly by Touchstone, out of Cuckoo; 7st 131 b, and Comfit, 7st 131 b. This stake seems destined to fall to the lot of either the owner of Defiance or else of Sit- length, and upwards of 70 feet in height. Its centre compartment contains the pay-offices and the avenues leading to the departure ph.tform of the railway, and which is really a beautiful structure. The length of the room designed as the pay-office is 99 feet in length, 41 feet in width, and its height about 40 feet. It h as a rich panelled ceiling somewhat in the style (although airier) of the ceiling of the large waiting ball of the terminus of the London and North- Western Railway, at Euston-square, with large coves. Adjoining the Pay-offices are the various waiting rooms for the passengers, offices, &c., connected with the departmentcarryicge of the railway. On the eastern side of th supported upon 34 P large and exceedingly elegant iron design. The lightpurpos e of unique railing of a Gothic various busine ss offices of this gallery is to connect the the company together, and also leads t o th e board TO01:11 2 which is 50 feet in length and 30 in width, and situate at the extreme southern end of the mainbuilding, the basements of which also afford ample accommodation for ware housing goo d s an d the performances of other offices requisite to the management of the terminus of a railway. Leaving the main building atby the eastern side of the pay-office, the passengeronce finds himself on the departure platform, and under t the enormous glass roof of the more western of th • wo buildings, which look look so much like the greatly-admired e erk transept late Crystal Palace in UT. Each of the ar rival and departure sheds are, IFisetheamdain building, already described, 805 feet in length 110 feet in width, and will each, when completed, and 110 seven lines of rail, some of which are already down. The roof of each of these arrival and d e ea g ar: aid e sheds is what is technically termed a " semi-laminateudr" roof, 105 feet span, and the largest of the kind ever before attempted. The lower part of the roof of each building on either side is panelled, and is supported upon 80 laminated ribs with hips, their bases resting on large cast iron stancheons, firmly embedded in the brickwork and walls of the main building. The de parture platform is 25 feet wide, and 800 feet long, and consists of 6-inch Yorkshirelandings, erected onbrick work. The upper portion of the semicircular and laminated roof is composed of glass of patent manu facture, and the effect from the interior, without dis tracting the eye, is exceedingly light and airy. The extreme height of the roof of the arrival and departure sheds from the level of the rails to the centre is 80 feet. At the extreme northern end of the arrival and departure sheds the roofs and building will be, when finished, terminated by two immense " trusses," or supporters, at the end of each roof, the largest ever manufactured, and they will form a footway as well as be the means - of supporting the hips and ends of the roof. The arrival and departure sheds, although mainly separated by a wall aliout four feet in thick ness, are connected at intervals by large open arch ways, at which points the turn-tables of the line will be fixed, so that carriages can be passed from the arrival to the departure compartments with the greatest facility. On the eastern side of the ter minus, running parallel with the arrival depart ment, is the arrival-platform, and on the extreme east, abutting on Maiden-lane, is the roadway for the cab stand, all within the walls of the building ; an ex ample which would be well to be followed by other railways (more particularly the North-Western), in stead of destroying respectable neighbourhoods by the nuisance arising from their cab-stands. On the western side of this road and cab-stand the eastern side of the arrival-shed is supported upon 40 pillars of large dimensions. This roadway is the same length as the platform, extending nearly from the extreme southern paint at King's-cross to the bridge which crosses the line at the Imperial Gasworks in Maiden lane. The cabs can only enter at this upper end, and make their egress by the southern front; so that complete regularity will be preserved, and anything like confusion avoided. The concrete of the roadway is already laid, and, in a few days, the substratum will be covered with blocks of wood paving, in order to free the station from noise as much as possible. The south facade of the terminus, which, being surmounted in the centre by the clock tower, is looked upon by the general public as the principal front, pos sesses a frontage of 253 feet, and including the width of the grand entrance on the north-western side, which is 58 feet, a gross frontage, abutting on the St. Pancras-road, of 311 feet. This building, like the general entrance, is constructed of brickwork, with stone facings. At the basement of the stupen dous arches forming the southern facade of the ar rival and departure sheds or terminus of the railway, are six openings for the introduction of six pairs_ of gates, through which it is i ntended the mails and all carriages alone, which are to t ravel by the line, are to enter, and there is an avenu e or road running towards the eastern end, to enable the vehicles to ma e egress by the arrival platform roadway. The south facadof the terminus consists of the most stupendous receding b r i c k wo rk arches ever " turned.'' They are all turned" in brick, each receding arch is composed of eight rings of bricks, the width of the first arch turned being 71 feet, the second 74 feet, the thethird 77 feet, and the last or outw ard arch towardsfront being 80 feet. The height of this building is upwards of 80 feet from the metals to the summt. In the centre of the southern faeide s t a nds the cloc i k tower, the height of which is 112 feet from the level of the rails. It is 22 feet across at its base, and 16 feet across above the level of the roof, from which it springs. It is a square constructed tower, and is sur mounted by a slanting leaded roof, ornamented with rolls of lead tapering from the edge upward, and sur mounted by a large and handsome gilded vane. The clock tower is fitted internally with rooms and stair cases leading to the clock-room and other compart ments. The grand feature, however, of the clock tower will be the clock itself, which is having four faces, which are composed of slate, fitted, and rapidly progressing. The clock itsel f is Dent's clock, which stood in the centre of the British avenue of the late Great Exhibition, and excited so much attention. There will be three bells attached to the clock ; th e large deep-toned bell , the sonorous tones of w hi c h were so frequently heard at the Crystal Palace, being intended to strike the hour; whilst two other bells of l e sser calibre and compass willstrike The faces of the clock at night will be h l e i h the quarters. wcomplete,n t lighted u p hy electric lights, and will no doubt, have a very beautiful effect. After passing out of the arrival and departure sheds on the extreme northern side, the first object which strikes attention is the rather handsome and wide bridge, still within the boundaries of the actual terminus, crossing over the line at the entrance to the Imperial Gas-wo_rks, and through which the mo uth of the tunnel under the Reent's Canal is fully b of de veloped, although it can be the Arc f seen through the bridge, even while standing on the the terminus.

At the extreme south-western corner of the main building, abutting on the St. Pancras-road and passenger entrance to the station, the foundatio ns have been dug out for the erection of a comfortable hotel, and the workmen are proceeding with it in a most rapid manner. Some idea may be formed of what this hotel will be when finished, when it i: stated that the design is that the hotel shall be five stories high, 190 feet long and 54 feet wide, exclusive of vaults and other outbuildings. The entire arrangement of this enormous and elaborate work of art hays been conducted' under the superintendence of Mr. Louis Cubitt, the architect, his and the pratical development of . plans carried out by Mr. John Jay, the contractor, and Mr. William Jay, his brother. There are at the present time up wards of 1,000 men employed on the works in order to complete them by the time specified ; and it !'s com puted by judges, although no actual sum is named, that the London terminus of the Great Northern Railway, King's -cross w ill cos t som ething like 300,0001. tingbourne.

GREAT EXHIBITaION OF 1853 IN DUBLIN In order to render the Irish Exhibition of next year as extensively useful to the commercial and industrial interests of Ireland as possible, the com mittee, since the munificent subscription of 20,0001. to the funds by Mr. Dargan, have placed themselves in communication with the most influential persono, who were connected with the Great Exhibition . o f all Nations, in the Crystal Palace, and they have to receive all possible encouragement. Thearye also invited the most remarkable and import:et bare their exhibitors of all nations, of last contributions to Dublin, and we believe they promised the co-operation well known that many branches either not at all, or inadequateln r park, for many were restrain , e , c,l iv interrogative suggestion, ~a _ , _s yea r, t° been of the v f aose.

But the .titoncl to the public at tages of the Ex hib e l „i interests of commerce, large, and to the g eonportion, than they were to the were not greater in no rthemselves. For instance, al of manufacture, and by individual exhibitors though in one pa nt one, that of organ tube a nd means an un it's tls certain that the English surpass pipe-makiNt - an d whatever may be the excellence all the wor d German organ builders, in the i n e- French I _ l unity elegance of build, or in loudness of clang, a a i nd d brilliancy of tone, they make no approach or se-e !refection of the English organ in depth, mel ._ ~,,e p__ d . hness of tone. The English make of Le .- e8 ; , an richness 1"12 the P•r- ;nes leaves them far behind. This was never fully u ntil it came to be proved at the Ex hibition last year, and it would have remained t o thi s hour unacknowledged if it had not been for the spirit of one maker, a Mr. Roome, of John-street, Fitzroy square, who, alone, of the whole trade, sent in contri butions to the Exhibition. These, we remember, did not consist of any perfect set of stops, but con tained specimens of every kind of pipe and reed. The result was that the German exhibitors themselves acknowledged the superiority of the English work, and actually procured pipes from Mr. Roome for their great prize organ ; and numerous orders were after• wards transferred from the foreign to the English exhibitor. The consequences have been so advan tageous to the latter, that it is to be hoped no trader or ingenious maker will neglect such oppertunities as those exhibiti ons afford of showing to the world, what really i s d one in this country in the way o f perfect manufacture. .WRECK OP THE CH verbal m TIAN. —By the o ail we have received intelligence n of lB of the wreck of the ship Christian. On the 23d June she was o bserved about three P.M. ashore, within a mile and a h alf of Angria's Co. labs. She went to pieces on the rocks in half an hour after she struck. The tide was at the full, and seventeen of the crew, including the muter and the S cats, trk to the water in the long boat and on spars, tic., but e , owing to the tide being on the turn, they could not make the shore, but were carried out to sea. No assistance could be rendered them from the land, though hundreds were witnesses of , when the l their danger. The wind and rain now for some time ob scured the spot where t h e shore thought the a Ch ' t . she had struck ceased the people onris ianatter had got off the reef, tor they beheld a vessel tacking and making out again.

Every attent i o n was shown the u n f ortunate men by Mr. Karr and Mr. Hearn, and all their wants supplied. The master (Mr. Brown) and the ten seamen left Ali bau g h for B o mbay on the mornin g of the 25th, and have rea ched in s afety. Three of the six drowned sailors had been found I and buried at Alibaugh ; the other three were still missing. The Christian was laden with coal. The cause of Vice-Chancellor Parker's sudden death was angina pectorLs. It is remarkable that the de• ceased judge was first seized with it the first day he assumed his official duties. From the period of that attack the disease had been a source of great uneasiness to his fam il y; and at no time did he suffer more from it than duriug the discussion of the Wagner we,
