SUN, SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS TIMES.—The Usher of the Black Rod could not have been many steps from the door of the House of Commons when that essernbly, by a last act of ex piring life, accorded its imprimatur to a statistical suggestion of Sir William Mulesworth's. In its ap parent purport the motion of the Hon. Baronet scarcely exceeded the limits of commonplace form, and its visible result is confined to five pages of very plain-looking figures. But in actual substance these figures import more than they express, and they con vey also incidentally several pieces of desirable in formation for which the public and its representatives have often been a good deal to seek. The return in question simply specifies the " number of her Majes ty's troops who have been employed in the colonies of Great Britain in each of the years 1848, 1849, and 1850, and what cost for pay, as well as Commissariat Expenses to Great Britain." The object of Sir Molesworth in procuring these certificates was, of course, to illustrate the direct pecuniary ex pense at which a vicious colonial system is currently maintained, and this point is undoubtedly sell ex hibited in the returns before us. To put the results in a coecise and comprehensive shape, we may state that in the last year for which accounts are ren dered—that is to say, the financial year 1849-50 — the troops employed in the colonies cost, for pay, al lowences, and contingencies, the sum of 1,329,6501 In the official dialect of the IVer-office ' however, ``her Majesty's troops" are not understood to include artillerymen or engineers. This description of force pertains to the " Office of Ordnance" in speciality, and from the latter department, therefore, Sir Wil liam obtained a supplementary return of 122,670/. expended upon the Royal Artillery, 19,6021. upon the Sappers and Miners, and 51,9891. upon the En gineers employed in the British colonies during the year in question. But this is still not the end of the reckoning. The troops so employed must be main tained and supplied, and the duty of such mainte nance devolves on the "Commissariat" department. So the disbursements of the " Commissariat chest" were furnished by the Treasury, and completed the information desired by Sir William Molesworth, by showing 1,568,380/. as the cost of such ser vice during the three years referred to. Taking half a million, therefore, as the yearly average of this last outlay, and adding to this sum the items mentioned above, we shall get a total exceeding 2,000,000/. sterling as the cost of our military garrisons in 1850. Sir William, it will be perhaps recollected, used to set the gross expenditure on this head at a sum nearer three millions than two, and there would be no great difficulty in justifying such k'calculation ; but we are more concerned at present with the records immediately before us and with the curious details of information which these facts con vey. In the first place, it unfortunately requires to be remembered that the returns under consideration do not comprise any account of the Kafir War, so that the heaviest exemplification of our colonial responsibility is excluded from the schedule. Omitting this formidable charge, we should find some consolatory prospect in the gradual decrease of demands, for whereas the chief item, that of the troops' pay, stood at 1,404,854/. in 1848, it had dropped to 1,390,7691. and 1,329,6561. in 1849 and 1850 respectively. From the same collect that the general pro portionfigures, t o o f o, ou w r e may military force diverted to the colo nies from the puiposes of home defence had not of late been increased, and that any augmenta tion, therefore, of our home resources must have been suggested by other considerations. The troops employed in the colonies were 39,591 in 1848 ; 30,400 in 1849, and 38,752 in 1850. On the other hand, however, it appears from the re turns that the artillery force on these stations was materially increased, the muster rolls showing a strength of 3,330 in 1850, though there had been but 2,987 in 1849, and only 2,748 in 1848 ; so that the colonies took at least their due share of the general augmentation given to the Ordnance corps in the year last mentioned. The next point of interest lies in the proportionate rates of strength at which these garri sons are maintained. Our colonial possessions appear ' to be classified in the War-office as North American, West Indian, Mediterranean, and African, Austra lian, Miscellaneous. The former of these military divisions, though so considerable in extent, popula tion, and importance, requires a smaller amount of force than is absorbed in our insular dependencies in the Mediterranean. In 1850 there were 5,209 men in Canada, 1,565 in Nova Scotia, 1,124 in Bermuda (which is attached to this division), 528 in New Brunswick, 326 in Newfoundland, and 82 in Prince Edward's Island. Altogether this Transatlantic army would muster 1,804 bayonets. The West Indies take 5,622, of which 1,673 are quartered in Jamaica and 1,216 in Barbadoes, but these numbers include three black regiments employed on this sta ti m only. In the Mediterranean we have, or at teast we had in 1850, 9,007 troops, divided almost equally between Gibraltar, Malta, and the lonian Islands—a force which it would be interesting to contrast with the garrisons of Lille or Strasburg. At the Cape of Good Hope we had an army of 4 , 384' tnen, which may now be multiplied by three, and in the rest of Africa something less than 1,000. Our vast Australian Empire, with all its then undisco vered treasures, bad a garrison of 3,985 soldiers, of which 1,976 were occupied in bush fighting with the iavages of New Zealand. One regiment, and one )nly, we believe, has since been dispatched to the gold mines, and as this was embarked on a Government steamer, our Australian force will still probably re main for some time what it was at the p e ri o d o f Si r William Molesworth's returns. The " Miscellane ous" possessions,whichere so m on igh d t isp a o lm se o d st ofa.s well be Ceylon, ‘‘ E asteo ~, termed which the reader will recollect is not included in the dominions of the East India Company, finds em ployment for 3,268 men (incuding a admirable Malay riflemen), Mauritius f or corps of and Hong Kong, cur latest " annex a ti on , l ''' 7 f' 947. In turning to the figures furnished by the Ordnance-office, our attention is first attracted to the supplement thus given to the ordinary estimates of the year. These annual documents do not specify the numbers of the Ordnance corps employed at home and -abroad respectively, but we now see that the latter constitute little more than onc-fourth of the entire strength, so that the artillery force at home must be of a respectable amount. The 3,330 gunners em ployed abroad in 1850 were distributed pretty evenly wer 17 stations, Canada with 635, and Gibraltar with 480, being the large exceptions. Ceylon, however, had only 103; while the Cape had 205. Malta, the lonian Islands, and Jamaica, bad each between 200 and 300; Bermuda, Nova Scotia, and the Mauritius, be tween 150 and2oo. As to the Engineers, their pecu 'iar destinies are curiously illustrated by the figures be fore us. The reader is doubtless aware that by this title are designated the officers of a corps whose privates are the Sappers and Miners, but so stragely do their luties distribute them over the face of the globe, that more, perhaps, were congregated toge ther in the Great Exhibition than in any other European or Asiatic quarters. In 1850, 13 of these meritorious soldiers were assigned to New Zealand, 14 to South Australia, and 39 to China, while, as lately as 1848, eight of them, without an officer, were left on the Falkland Islands to take care of that happy , settlement and themselves. Their officers are scat tered still more extensively. In the two provinces of Canada there are, it is true, actually 30 of them, and there are 10 at Gibraltar, and 11 at the Cape ; but with these exceptions the members of this distin guished corps rarely come within sight of each other. The stations of the Bahamas, St. Vincent, Granada, Tobago, St. Lucia, Antigua, St. Kitt's, Dominica, Bahia, Demerara, Trinidad, St. Helena, and New South Wales, have one each ; there are two in Newfoundland, three in Barbadoes, and four in China. Such are the several arrangements of our colonial garrisons—costly, no doubt, to this country, and yet but imperfectly proportioned to the duties abroad. Whether any better system can be devised some future session of Parliament will probably show. HERALD.—There is a witty saying attributed to Lord Palmerston with reference to the proverbial prone ness of our countrymen to embroil themselves with the local authorities of the countries which they visit—" It seems to be recognised," said h e , " that it is the privi lege of a travelling Englishman to get into scrapes wherever he goes, and the duty of his Foreign Secretary to get him out of them again immediately." If our kinsmen of the Union always had a Daniel Webster for their Minister of Foreign Affairs, it would, we fear, soon pass into a proverb, that the most conspicuous part of their Foreign Secretary's duties was to utter extrava gances not warranted by facts, merely in order that the President and Cabinet might explain them away, and contradict and check their colleague in as deeorous a manner as possible. Hardly has the excitement sub sided which Mr. Webster so needlessly and so wantonly , blew into a flame on the subject of oar colonial fishe ries when ho again compromises his dignity as a states man, and even his reputation a s a man of th e most common historical knowledge, by the astounding ignorance and rashness which he betrays respecting the Peruvian isles of Lobos. Macaulay remarks of Burke that his early productions are marked by precocious seriousness of thought and gravity of style, whereas the compositions of his latter years display all the fire and imaginativeness of youth. If we substitute folly and temerity for the qualities last mentioned, there will be a parallel between the revolution noticed in the style of Burke', eloquence and that now observable in the cha racter of Mr. Webstei's conduct and statesmanship. He was weighty and well-corMdered in his youth, distin guished for a logical manner, and an imposing a ir of re flection. He has now sudden) burst forth, and broken loose into a hair brained oliti y cian reckless in his state meets and dangerous ' his P unquestionably in counsels; and in this business of the Lobos Islads, we have every reason to be . proud, es Englishmen, of the contrast existing between the ". positions respectively assumed by the Foreign a; •the two len aecretaries of 1 countries. When - application was made to Lord Nlalme , bury to induce him 'claims Of proprietorship, or rath er of 00 to n l rn:necoF right,se tothose islands, which claims, if well-founded, would have t secured certain benefits, he v ery properly el i minate d the THE LONDON, consideration of the benefits altogether, looking in the first place to the question of justice. Our readers will recollect the strange reasoning of Mr. Webster in his speech at Marshfield, when, having stated the import ance, the wealth, the advantage of the fisheries of Nova Scotia, &c., he seemed thereby to have in his own mind completely settled a question of right, and to have proved (it he proved anything), that trespass and rob bery must, for such gains, be protected, even at the cost of war. It is the argument that when a possession is proved to be rich de facto, then it is proved to be American de jure. Now in this new matter of the Lobos Islands, be appears to remain faithful to the same theory. He was quite overpowered by the statement of the advantages which would accrue to his countrymen if they had the monopoly of the guano of Lobos. There is an evident confusion in his ideas respecting rightful property and profitable possession. Be does not say " Such islands aro ours, for such reasons; and let us make the most of them." But " Had we such islands, we should make a great deal of them; therefore they are ours." The manner in which Mr. Webster then proceeds to substantiate the novel claim of the United States to what is unquestionably not theirs, nor ever was, is quite astonishing in a statesman whom the world supposed to be at least as well versed in history as any ordinary schoolboy. "It is probable," says he, !hat these islands were first discovered in the year 1823, by Francis Morrel, jun., citizen of the United States " Did ever a celebrated orator and politician so wonderfully stultify himself, so justly expose him self to universal and enduring ridicule? The Lobos Islands first discovered some thirty years ago! and discovered by a citizen of the Union! Long before the Union had eitzmis at all, and even before that part of America had British colonists, the Lobos Islands had not only been discovered, but were well known to all navigators. It is literally true to say, that these islands were set down in maps before there was any map of the Union in existence, or even of those countries which now constitute the Union. "It is probable," to use Mr. Webster's phrase with rather better authority than he could produce, that the first European who really dis covered the Lobos Islands was Diego de Almagro, the celebrated fellow-adventurer of the still more celebrated Francisco Pizarro, just three centuries before the won derful voyage of "Francis Morsel, jun., citizen of the United States," and about three hundred and thirty years before the present time. It is certain that Alma gro descended upon the Island of St. Gallan, and explored all the neighbouring waters off the main land of Parses, and the river and roadstead of Pisco. In those waters lie the islands of Lobos, or the sea-wolves, whose very name, with its lupine import, was bestowed on them by the Spanish adventurers in question. To come down nearer to our own times, but still 137 years ago, or 110 years at least before Francis Morsel's convenient discovery, we find sufficient mention of the Lobos Islands in M. Frezier's " Voyage to the South Sea, and along the Coasts of Chili and Peru, in the years 1712, 1713, and 1714"—an authentic and de servedly esteemed work, of which a translation was published in London 135 years ago. M. Fresier was en gineer in ordinary to Louis XIV. At page 179 of the translation just mentioned we find the following passage:— " Eight leagues to the northward of it (the mountain La Mesa de Dona Maria) is the island Lobos, or Wolves, being a league and a half north-west from Morro Quemado, or Burnt Headland; it is indifferent high, &c. Between the island and the headland there are flat and very low rocks, which stretch out towards the continent, half-way this channel, leaving a passage through which many ships have gone, mistaking it for that between the island of St. Gallan and the continent of Paraca." Several minute particulars; of the situation of Lobos and of the neighbouring shoal water, are then given; and a chart of Paraca and the coasts, &c., is annexed. Finally, Lord Anson describes the Lobos Islands in 1742. We seriously recommend Mr. Webster to enter at once upon a course of light, but useful, reading. Macklin, the actor, began to learn Greek when he was some seventy years old. So, certainly, the well-informed Foreign Secretary of the Union ought not to shrink from making himself acquainted, if not with the history of the principal discoveries of the 16th century, at least with some of the more palmary books of travel which have since been written for the amusement and instruc tion of the world. If he persists in the course he has unadvisedly entered he runs the risk of, perhaps, soon mooting the question, whether some American citizen was not the first discoverer of Yarmouth and its herring fishery; and we are ready to admit that Mr. Webster did discover the Lobos Islands for the first time iu 1852. NAVAL IN ThLLIGENCE. APPOINTMENTS. Naval Instructor —Henry A. Speed steampeedhasgobaeredn-shriep-, D ap e p v o o i o n p te o d rt. to the Hogue, 60, screw Paymaster--Harrington R. Jones, to the Electra, 12, Sheerness. Clerk—James Ray, to the Termagant, 24, screw steam frigate, Portsmouth. Midshipmen—Edward Denny, to the Waterloo, 120, flag-ship, Sheerness; G. E. B. Potts, to the Niger, 14, screw-sloop, Portsmouth; Percy Luxmoore and James Ray to the Termagant. Gunner—Abraham R. Mills, to the Higbflyer, 21, screw-frigate, Portsmouth. The 50-gun screw-frigate Imperieuse, built at Dept ford Dockyard, will be launched on the same day as the screw three-decker Windsor Castle, 140, from Pem broke—namely, on the 14th instant. The Imperieuse, like the Windsor Castle, will be the first ship of her class afloat, and, we trust, they will be the precursors of many really good, serviceable, and lasting men-of war, turned out of the royal dockyards under the sur veyotship of Sir Baldwin Walker. The launch of such ships proves the gross and ruinous folly of repairing, at so extrsvagent a cost, mere sailing ships like the Van guard, Vernon, Cambrian, &c. We must not forget ;bst our friends on the other side of the Ch anne l are still in advance of us in screw ships afloat, for whilst they have their Charlemagne, 90, in actual commission, their Napoleon, 92, which is running at the rate of 14 English miles an hour, a ith their Austerlitz, 100, to be Winced on tho 13th instant, we have only the &insp. reil, 81, in anything like -a serviceable condition. But better late than ever. The jury spars for rigging the Windsor Castle at Pembroke, which ship will come round to Ports mouth, are now being put on board the Simoom screw steam troop-ship, Captain Kingcome. Sixty seamen riggers will also go round in the Simoom to rig and na vigate the Windsor Castle, and this short run will tho roughly test the machinery and engines of the Sinsoom before she is employed to take troops to the Cape. Lieutenant William G. Crowder (1848), senior of the a gi n command felucc a Megmra, who died at Mel l v i i e l o le ten H an o t sp o it f al t , ho C ß h a a p th id r s er e v n Monday last, was act in g - i 13 a ilom f e a l p a t nr a d t i e c n a g l on the coast of Afr ica in 1848, for which he obtained supernumerary the to capture the P h o promotion. Ile was the third son of the late Colonel Crowder, s o f a boat ILli., of Brotherton, Yorkshire, and was in his 29th year. Arrogant, 36, screw -frigate, Captain Robinson, will go into Portsmouth Harbour, and into the old basin, to day. Blenheim, 56, screw -ship, Captain Henderson, C. 8., having found a defect in her foreyard, went into Tor bay on Wednesday. having repaired the defect, she sailed again, and will probably cruize off Cape Clear for a short time; she will look into Queenstown once during her cruize. Highflyer, 16, screw-corvette , Ca p tain Matson, is dis mantling at Portsmouth for alteration in her masts. A newly-invented life-boat, or rather a life-raft, by a Mr. Perrotr, we believe, of Liverpool, arrived at Ports mouth, by railway, in the early part of last week, and has been placed in the old basin of the dockyard. She is shaped like a river trough, with wall sides. She has two large nettings, which are spread out by out-riggers travelling on central pivots on each side, on which, and in the box or boat, 300 men can be safely placed. Sh e will be tried before competent naval officers in a few days. She is to be available for troop-ships. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—Thu Blenheim East India man, having embarked passengers for Calcutta, sailed yesterday at ten o'clock, with a favourable breeze, down Channel. The Devonshire East Indiaman, one of Green's ships, arrived at Spithead, outward bound, on Saturday, to embark passengers and stock. The Meander, 44, Commodore Talbot, arrived at Spithead this afternoon from the Nore, and saluted the Port Admiral. The Dauntless, 24, screw-frigate Captain Halsted ' was taken into the steam-basin yesterday morning ready for docking. The Inflexible, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Wolrige, took on board her ammunition at Spithead yesterday morning, and awaits sailing orders. On the annual royal yacht promotions taking place in a few days hence it is reported Captain Lord Adolphus Fitz , ilarence will be raised to the rank of Commodore of the first class, Commander Crispin to the rank of Cap tain (retaining , the captaincy of the yacht), and Mr. Henry Nettle Scaife, clerk, to the rank of secretary to the Commodore, besides the usual promotions of the lieutenants and mates. We don't think the service will grumble at any of these movements. Lord Adolphus Fitzelarence is as much beloved by those immediately about him and respected generally in the navy as he is well known in the service; Commander Crispin's eleva. don would re-open the door for that promotion of com manders which has now so long been stopped in the royal yacht; and, as every flag officer must have a se cretary, Mr. Scaife's talents and gentlemanly deportment peculiarly quality him for that post to the Commodore of the Royal yacht. Altogether, we think dignity and benefit will accrue to her Majesty's especial service by the above arrangements. The Cygnet, 8, Commander R. D. White, arrived at St. Helena July 15, and the Prometheus, 6, steam. slor p, Commander Foote, on the 18th, from Ascension. The Sappho, 12, Commander the lion. A. Cochrane, arrived at Forteau on the 25th of July; and the Buzzard, 8, steam-sloop, on the 7th of August, from St. John's, Newfoundland. The Dauntless, 24, Captain Halsted, and the Hi g h_ flyer, 21, Captain Matson, aro ordered to have their de fects made good as quickly as posible, and complete provisions and stores for Six months' service. Captain Martin, C.B , of the Victory, is on leave of absence for six mouths. The duties of the ship will be carried on by Commander Boyle. PLYMOUTH, SEPT. s.—Her Majesty's steam-sloop Geyser, Commander G. S. Hand, having taken her coal on boatel, tt as placed at her sailing moorings on Satur day. She is appointed to sail on Monday for the West Indies to relieve the Rosamond. The steamer Argus returned on Thursday from Portsmouth, and, having coaled on Friday, was placed on her sailing moorings on Saturday. The crow of the Hound, 6, Commander Robert Hall, were paid off yesterday at the Pay-office in the dock yard. At daylight on Wednesday, dle•wbeel man-of-war, supposed to be a frigate, showing tho Ist inst., a large pad- EVENING, SEPTEMBER 6. 1852. Russian colours, was observed four or five leagues south west of the Eddystone, speaking to a fishing vessel, after which she put on all steam and went away to the south ward. Her Majesty's screw steam sloop Desperate will sail from this port on Monday with riggers and seamen riggers for Pembroke, to tow the Windsor Castle to Portsmouth. The Cleopatra, private steamer, is appointed to sail from this port on Tuesday with mails for the Cape of Good Hope, King George' s Sound, Adelaide, Port Philip, Sydney, and Ne w Z ealand. SHEERNESS, SUDIDAY.—Lier Majesty's ship Mws,nder, 44, Commodore Charl es T a lb ot, took in her powder on Friday morning. At 11 Akin. the Lizard steamer, in charge of Mr. Brockm an , second master (commanding the Wildfire), and the African steam-tug, Second Mas ter Gill, got up their steam and proceeded to the Little Nore. The Mseander having weighed anchor, the steamers took her in tow as far as the North Foreland, whence she made all sail for Spithead, where the crew will he paid their advance wages. The Lizard returned to this port yesterday at 4 P.ai ; the African some hours afterwards. Her Majesty's ship Achille, 76, was removed on i Fri day afternoon from th e fi tt i ng -basin to moorings n the harbour. She has undergone a thorough refit, having been under the hands of the dockyard artificers for a considerable period, and is in a forward state for com mission, should circumstances render it necessary. Ller Majesty's brig Bitt ern, 12, Commander Vansit tart, has entered more than .70 seamen. Had she been at Plymouth, we hear from good authority, she would have been fully manned by this time. Up to yesterday neither the commander nor senior lieutenant bad taken up their commissions. She is reported to be completed by the 26th inst. One sergeant, one corporal, a drummer, and 17 privates of the Chatham division of Royal Ma rines have embarked for service in the Bittern. ROYAL MARINES.—The tollovvine• officers of the Chat ham division have obtained leave of absence for periods hereafter specified:—Deputy - Inspector J. Drummond, six weeks; Captain John Huski sson, two months; Cap tain William Cludon, one month; Captain G. B. Rod ney, an extension of 14 days. WooLvrtes, SEPT. 4.—The Trident steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Harvey, is to be taken out of dock on Tuesday, as by that time both sides of her bottom will have been completely coated with Mr. of the inventor whose previously placed . on one side of the it in to which the Trident is placed, n bo g caks t i aken oat on Tuesday, the Wasp bottom of the vessel was Boccius, not Bochins. compositionli a T y h 's e Was composition.p wa te s am sl ir oo h . p e , C name mydemander, and towed Lord do John wn to Hay, a The Agamemnon, 90, will be finished in the coppering a s w w t ni a a ldl t s , i o b t n a n en k t o e ta pip ee o o nl u s a i l it t thenteoe.fr tbeing e e d i of her bottom on Monday, and th e whole of the ma chinery of her engines will be completed by John Penn and Son in about a fortnight from thi s time : The exer tionsoffetrhtine Agamemnon sfirnatoco within ethe engin es o f 600-horse power the time agreed upon, have been highlyappreciated by the Admiralty, as they will be ready to be delivered over w ithin the ti me speci fied, although the Messrs.

The Vivid has given great satisfaction in her performances since she had new boilers, and has kept ap her character for speed on every occasion in which !le had been employed, whether on special or public service. The Avon steam-vessel, Master Comm an d er Alfred Veitch, was taken out of the basin to.day, having under gone a thorough refit at this port, and, aft er towing the Wasp from the basin to opposite the east dock, left Woolwich for Devonport, to resume her duties as a tug and tender to the file -ship at that port. SPORTING NOTES. No. CCC. THE PROBABLE STARTERS FOR THE LEA MINGTON STAKES. LATER' MOVES, &c. TO THE EDITOR OF TIE DUN. Slft,—The present—like unto the two preceding weeks—is prolific in racing meetings, not leas than nine being on the list of fixtures for this and four following days. Cheadle comes off to-day and to - morrow; War wick and Whitehaven to-morrow and Wednesday; Bar net Fair original on Wednesday ; Scuthport, Rochester, and Chatham, and Weymouth on Wednesday and Thursday; Airdrie on Thursday and Friday; and Wes ton Zoyland and Bridgewater on Friday. The majority of these, however, possess only local interest. Rochester and Chatham will, no doubt, be attractive to some of the metropolitans, but Warwick is the great gun of the week; and, as the precursor of the Great Yorkshire Meetieg, will, no doubt, be well attended-1n fact, I think the moves of to-morrow and Wednesday will be pregnant with the fate of the St. Leger. The only stake of note in to-morrow's list at War wick that has yet closed is that yclept the Leamington, the probable starters for which are the following : Cariboo, 5 yrs, Bst 71b; Russborough, 5 yrs, Bst 51b (d) ; Lady Evelyn, 6 yrs, 7st 131 b; Goldfiuder, 4 yrs, 7st 101 b ; Grier; 6 yrs, 7 s t Sib ; Adminis trator, aged, Est flub ; Storyteller, 4 yrs, Est 61b ; Terpsichore, 4 yrs, Est 41b; Ibis, 3 yrs, sal 61b (d) ; Cleveland, 3 yrs, sst 610 ; Hugo. 3 yrs, sst lib; and Madeline, 3 yrs, sst (d). The moves brought about on Saturday and yesterday we re of con siderable importance on the Leamington Stakes, if not on the St. Leger. For the forme r on Saturday evening Lady Evelyn was in great demand at 5 to 1 and 9 to 2; not more than 4to 1, however, was to be obtained. She still continuos firm at that price. Another move on Sa turday evening was the sudden introduction of Gold finder, who seems to have satisfied his party in some private essay So well that he was backed by them to a large extent, rising rapidly from an outside figure t o 6 11 to 2, and this morning c annot be quoted at more t han sto 2.

TETE E ARL of CARLISLE AT A WRESTLING —The Earl of Carlisle was present at the Talkin Tarn Re a feeling gatta, Cumberland, the other day, and at the close of a by the Noble Earl, who wished wrestlir,g match for LI, when the sixth and lest round which was between a weaver named Pearson and another' man named Glaister, terminated, the victor (Glaister) was standing in the fortunate wrestler much joy.

A reward was formerly decreed by the Persian King to the man who should invent a new pleasure. The caterer for publi c amusement i n our days, however, if he ventures upon producing a new sensation, stands a fair chance of being rewarded with the treadmill. We had yesterday an opportunity of seeing the three ponies with which Madame Poitevin has been in the habit of making her ascents—these are two cream-coloured and one white—and they are as pampered-looking, sleek coated, carefully-tended animals as were ever driven in the phaeton of a fashionable lady. One of them has ascended about 50 t i mes, the white pony upon which Madame Poitevin went up on Thursday last having been up up wards of 100 times, and the third and largest, a stout handsome•looking animal, 150 assured by M. P o i tevin that althocgtihmtehs.ey\hVe wereav een- en countered in their numerous ascents all sorts of weather—hail, rain, snow, high winds, and thunder and li g h t ning —they h a d the slightest injury, and h th n ey ver sustained Wewe ar h e ad p o n L i ,e rfcc i t . pe d ts Kith the intrepid aeron auts . the mode in which t h e an i mals are attached atol"thetobaul s loon we were at once sat i s fi e d that there i no ground s whatever for the char ge o f cruelty. The c the ascents are made i s a new one of veryon, e h r t a n h d le dimensions and great ascen di ng powers. It is sornely painted, and is termed f° The The Zodiac," Fro - the centre of the balloon, wh ere t h e ret-work ends, 26 s ropes depend, which hung fo ur or five yards below, tbe point at which the horse is suspended, and this is one of the peculiarities of the arraegement. The body of the horse is enveloped in a stout canvas bag, secured and strengthened by broad leather straps well padd,d; oth er leather bands pass round the fore and hinder parte, and the whole of the weight is so equally divided that there is no undue pressure upon any part, and the animal himself, whose evidence ougtht to go for something, eats hay or biscuit out of the hand as unconcernedly as possible while so suspended. The different bands and straps are united above the horse, and are secured within the car by a spring, and the mode of attaching and detaching him train the balloon is perfectly simple and effective. On Thursday last twenty-six Chelsea pensioners were employed to bring down the balloon close to the ground, after it had been fully inflated, the strap was at one secured to the spring within the car, and the whole operation completed in less time than we have taken to describe it. In addition to the 26 ropes which we have mentioned there are also the two gye-ropes, which are used in descending after the grappling-iron has caught hold, in order to bring the balloon upon its side, and facilitate the discharge of the gas. All these ropes are brought into requisition when disengaging the horse from the balloon; the enormous machine is then slowly dragged down till the horse's feet touch the ground, the spring is instantly disengaged, and the animal is at liberty. Madame Poitevin mounted the white pony on Thursday evening last, after the descent, and rode it several miles into Cremorne Gardens, amidst the acclamations of the spectators. On the same occasion a parachute was taken up with the balloon, capable of sustaining a weight of between 300 and 400 pounds. It was the intention of Madame Poitevin to have descended in this parachute, but the lessee was unwilling to encounter the slightest risk, and suggested that the parachute should be in the first place loaded with a weight exceeding that of Madame Poitevin by 281 b., and that its descent should be closely watched. This was accordingly done on Thursday evening, and when the balloon was at an elevation of about two miles the parachute was de tached, and in about seven minutes descended at Acton, as gently as a bird alights on the ground, its perpendi cular position having been maintained throughout. It was the descent of this parachute which gave rise to the report that the brothers, whose gymnastic feats in the trapeze have excited so great a sen sation, had fallen from the clouds and been killed. We understand that these daring performers are not secured in any way to the bar from which they are suspended, relying altogether upon their muscular powers and dexterity, and, how ever hazardous the feats may appear in the eyes of the public, they feel as secure as if within a few feet of the ground, the motion of the balloon being so steady as to divest the performance of all risk. All that has hitherto taken place, however, in Cremorn e , fades before the interest attached to the parachute de scent, which is announced to take place from these gar degs on Monday evening; and as the prejudice is this country against this mode of descending from balloons is very strong, since the fatal attempt of Mr. Cocking, about twelve years since, we have taken some trouble to learn the principles upon which Madame Poitevin's parachute is constructed, in ord er to ascer tain how far the scientific requirements of this machine have been adopted. We may sfate that Madame Poitevin has already descended in France no less than 27 times, on one occasion in presence of the President Louis Na poleon, who presented her with a handsome bracelet; and that she has accomplished all these descents with the greatest ease and safety. The car is composed of a light wicker basket, comfortably padded and cushioned, with a projecting brim about 18 inches wide also cushioned. The car is about 10 feet in diameter, and is secured by ropes to a strong circular iron tubing, of about 12 or 15 feet in diameter, pro jecting over and beyond the car, and to this iron hoop or ring the cords of the parachute are secured. When ascending the parachute resembles a closed umbrella, and when descending it expands, and is somewhat in the shape of a gigantic parap/uie of stout crimson bilk, strongly secured along the edges with cord, and fastened by about 26 ropes to the iron ring we have ready described. The car hones at a distance of about 30 feet from the parachute, and by a simple contrivance tbo whole can be detached at any moment from the bal loon. In order to secure the proper expansion of the parachute, M. Poitevin, who steers the balloon, having attained the re spired height, opens the valve, and dis charges some lour or five thousand cubic feet of gas; the balloon, with its depending parachute, immediately de ecends with great rapidity, the parachute is expanded by the resistance of the air, and is then detached; the balloon, which had been rapidly falling from its loss of gas, being relieved of this weight, is arrested in its downward progress, and again ascends, but by this judicious counteracting of the one force by the other, the risk of the parachute falling any consider able distance, or turning over before being expanded, is avoided, and the sudden darting up of the balloon t) en immense height, at the risk of suffocating the aeronauts by the escape of gas, is also prevented. So long a pe riod has elapsed since any attempt has been made to descend in a parachute in this country, that the an nouncement of Madame Poitevin's experiment for Monday evening will, we doubt not, attract very large numbers to the gardens, and in such case we trust that all the neces sary precautions may be taken to prevent any over crowding or inconvenience, and that the result will tend to establish the practicability of this mode of descent, and form one additional step in aerial navigation. Al though many suggestions have been thrown out, very little has up to this time been accomplished towards ren dering balloons available for any practical use. The great experience acquired in the numerous ascents made tor popular amusement has made them safe to a degree which could hardly have been hoped for; but, excepting in so far as a limited power has been obtained of ascen ding and descending, so as to take advantage of such currents as may be met with at various elevations, no thing has been done towards guiding a balloon. Many of the schemes proposed for the purpose evince a singu lar disregard of the essential difference between a ship and a balloon, The former sails in two fluids of different densities, and the notion of the water, the denser of the two, upon the rudder, is a guide to the impelling power derived from the air, or lighter or less dense element; but no auoh regulator can be applied to the balloon, which is sustained, as well as impelled by the air. All the attempts hitherto made to apply a motive and guid ing power have failed, and until the solution of this problem, ballooning must remain a mere toy for the amusement of the multitude. — Sunday Paper of yesterday. —ENERAL PACHECO.—We are sorry to learn that the celebrated South American General Pacheco, who is known as the founder of liberty in the Uruguay, and who recently occupied the distinguished post of ambassador at Paris from that republic, was, on his return to the scene of his patriotism, attacked by a violent yellow fever, at Rio Janeiro. On the occasion he was attended by his old friend and colleague, Don Andrea Lamas, who had been constantly by his side in every struggle for independence, and now came to watch what was supposed to bathe last moments of his gal lant friend. Fortunately, however, the strength of the Gene ral's constitution overcame the disease, and, by the last ac counts, he had so far rallied as to give hope of speedy recovery. An incident has come to our knowledge, which adds addi tional lustre to the name of Pacheco, and shows him to be as humane in the amenities of civil life as he is daring and skilful in m ilit ary encounter. At a t i me w h en be believed his course on ea r th h a d b een run, an d th e hand of death was upon him, hi s country and h i s fr i en d s were most prominent in his thou g ht s.

COLCHESTER A R CH.TEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. --At the quarterly meeting of this society, on Wednesday, a proposal for disconnecting it from the Literary Institution and estab lishing it on an enlarged basis as a county society was dis cussed, and a committee appointed to report up on th e mat ter at the annual mee tin g in November. The president (Dr. Duncan) then gave a brief descrip'ion of the progress of the excavations at the back of the residence of the Rev. J. T.

VANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. BELFAST, SEPT. 2.—The sections commenced their meetings this morning in Queen's College, a remark ably handsome and well proportioned building in the Elizabethan style, situated on rising ground, about half a mile south-east of the city, on the Lisburn road, and one of the three founded under the provi sions of "An Act to enable her Majesty to endow new Colleges for the Advancement of Learning in Ire land." The sister colleges are at Cork and at Galway. The friends of education will be gratified to hear that, notwithstandin g the opposition the colleges expe rienced, and the prognostics as to their early fate, they have all succeeded, and have shown a gradual and regular increase in their students each year since they opened their doors. At Belfast the numbers of ma triculatei students have been 84 in 1350,111 in 1851, and 119 in 1852, besides a large number of irregular or non-matriculated students. The college educa tional courses, which is determined by the senate of the Queen's University in Dublin, extends over three years; it being imperative on the student to attend the prescribed course before he can go up for his degree examination. In glancing over the several course of lectures which the student is required to attend te, an impression is engendered th at , consi dering the probable normal education of the intend ing student, the subject to which be has to apply ou entering, are at all e vents, too himself . , especially numerous, if not generally above his standard. Thi s normal standard may, however, in time be raised, end thus in itself effect a remedy; otherwise, if our im pression is correct—and its accords with the opinions of many friends of education in Belfast—it would appear to be advisable that the senate of the Univer sity, in whom the power is vested, should inquire into a matter th at may materially interfere with the good results which we ought to derive from such an in stitution. Another point open to comment is the amount of fees to be paid by the student. These, though small in single amounts, in the aggregate, owing to the nu merous departments he is required to attend, amount to 281. for the three years —a large sum for the class for which the college was principally intended, and nearly double that of Glasgow and other of the Scotch colleges. Of this total, 211. go in fees to the pro ipofneuossrtsutooffierdfsc., e a hnT l te d hhfi 0 7 s tr / ih . sei t h o maenu t pd h sue e mrup n umo O ss l , bi g bae e rn , afdo f r o rym r y, m uescs i a n ter g ,ms, hta t oa h tev e creoi s atm o ol l le e yb: f q.ls u iumu n ipte d i.t , the secondary effects of the institution. The subject was embodied in the address by the President and Professors to the Lord-Lieutenant at his visit yester day to the college, but was not noticed in hia rep ly. We can only, quoting fr om th e a d dress of the presi dent of the association, recommend them to be true to their own convictions, and steadily to persevere in urging on all proper occasions, both publicly and pri vately, a measure which they feel to be necessary for the proper fulfilment of the duties committed to them. The sections were well attended during the dav— ' A and C, Mathematical and Physical Science and Geology, being the most crowded. The Lord-Lieu tenant and suite paid a visit to each in the course of the day. Among the distinguished foreigners and others present were—Prince of Canino ; Professor Fowler, United States; Dr. Hamel, of St. Peters burgh ; and M. Tchihatchef, the Chevalier Neukomm, Viscount Bangor, Marquis of Downshire, Lord Mas serene, Lord Naas, Sir P. Crampton, Hon. W. N. Jocelyn, Lord Wrottesley, Earl of Enniskillen, Sir R.

This crime is du e t o an extraor dinary cause. It is considered a disgrace f females do not get married, and to save this disgrace in some cases, and in others to save the expenses, which. heavy in India, in their marriage customs' are , the ale children are murdered to a horrible extent. The Go vernment have checked this deplorable crime con siderably by establishing a fund , out of which, under certain condi , ions, sums shall be 11 a otted for marriage purposes. G. R. Porter—On the pro ctive industry of Faris. This paper, read by Mr. M'Adam, secretary, con tained most valutible details of the productive industry of Paris, furnishing important data forcomparison with our own. In it will be found matter for the serious consideration of our political economists, as in several of these branches of manufacture which are supposed to press most weightily on our own trade, it appears that the wages paid for labour are higher than with us, while the raw material is about the same price. An interesting portion was that in reference to the education of the workmen. Of the entire number, 87 per cent. of the men and 79 per cent. of the wo men could read and write. Professor Hancock —Are there any impediments to the fair competition of free labour with slave la bour in the West Indies ?--It is impossible in the limits allowed by this notice to do proper i ustice to the importance and value of this paper. Professor Hancock's deductions were all based upon the recog nised principles of moral philosophy and political economy, and were supported by statistical evidence, and by quotations from Adam Smith, Bigelors, Cand ler, Alexander, and other high authorities. An ani mated dicussion took place, in which the professor's positions were warmly disputed, but w hi ch in his replyand most successfully re - esta b lished.

Some important allu sions and suggestions were m a d e as to the sources o f accident in coal mines, and Professor Phillips con chided by strongly recommending the education of the miners as the surest means of remedy. MON DAY THE TURKISH LOAN. The novelty of a Turkish loan has naturally excited no small degree of interest in not only monetary but po. litical circles. With the world pecuniary the natural inquiry is as to the securities for payment of interest p k o n h or io n and redemption of the principal of the loan which Tur key hai to offer; the world political and economical may further be disposed to speculate as to the causes policy why Turkey, confessedly out of foreign debt, and not as loansa d h e a b v t e o r , b s e h en oul d d ev a e t lop t e h d e e io le to ve e nt g h iga h o o t a io r that eye- tem, as in fact an inherent p art wad parcel of the econo micalmake her appearance of nations, of from the absolute autocracy o f loan of twcr Russia in the north democracy of the U • tilted States in the north of Ame rica,mnosn Europe .sa sterling r. t l h in e g n o only less T hwei despo tic modi cumll of a suf fice, perhaps, to specu lators of the economical schocoel allay the jealousies of ambitious Russia, lest Turkey should or defence; y to a Turkish girding up her cient and convincing reasons wk loins for the purposes of ,aff ee be l eform a vicious advan tage her may discover Govern mentsuffi- may have an honest desire currency, both of paper and metallic va l ues, and to lay i r o e a f a s tich cannot d Pr thethe fiso at e groundwork, yetem of m moreover, v e e m r p , wise than to the profit of the Treasury tage of the people. With the present paucity of infor mation on these points it may not be said in what parti cular direction it is proposed to carry out any of the improvements suggested, but one fact must be obvious—. as a truism confessed among practical statesmen— t h st the reforms and improvements most indispensable i n state cannot be carried on without money in hand, de rived from some new and extraordinary source, to coun terbalance the sacrifices to be submitted to in the pre. parations for a career of progress. However opinion may differ about the fiscal and economical policy of the late Sir Robert Peel, it will not be denied that, prelimi nary to the abandonment of one source of revenue by fiscal or other changes, he was careful to prepare be forehand amply against a certain loss to be incurred by a provision equal to ready money, and by ready money, to cover that loss and more. The property and income tax comes in point, with issues of Exchequer-bills for landed improvements besides, that is, public loans in an other shape. The financial resources of Turkey to meet the new financial phase of a foreign debt, which are the special point of concern with those who carry the money bags, and are anxious after more profitable openings for invest ment than Consols at par, and discounts of safe paper at Li or 2 per cent., are, so far as officially, somewhat of a ,sated book; for as affairs are understood in that em pire, the state of revenue and expenditure is held not to concern the public at large, whilst, truth to say, the public appear to be contemptuously content to remain in i g neranee of what su nearly concerns them, and is corn-. oratively so freely communicated to the serfs of Russia. Fortunately the march of intelligence can pierce by per severance through ' , tone walls, even the marble walls of the Seraglio. Al. Unicini, long a resident, and an en lightened mercantile observer in Turkey. devoted much time and careful attention to an examination of Lbe &cal, momentary, and commercial systems of Turkey, aided in the labour by the influence and appliances of foreign diplomacy, the results of which he made know❑ in come admirable letters published in the French Moniteur last year. His statements may be re garded theref .re as semi-official, but must be taken withal with such measure of allowance as is usually ac corded to that degree of authority. The following tabular statement of Turkish finance will not be found to vary in totalities with that publiahed in a morning paper, and generally understood to have been supplied by the agents a. contractors for the loan. There can be no question that it was derived substantially from the authority already cited for that which follows, and it was fairly acknowledged, indeed, that to exact cfficial authority it made no pretence. The difference to be noted between the two is, that we are not indebted for figures and facts to the parties, highly respectable as they are, interested in the loan, but simply and independently to our own in dustry and researches. The facts have, indeed, been some time in our possession. Revenue and expenditure thus balance according to the authority quoted:— BUDGET OF EXPENDITURE. Piastres.

It will be observed, too, that the Turkish Government has a small internal debt, scarcely meriting remark. We may proceed in a future number to a review of the commerce and commercial resources of the Ottoman empire, about which our neighbour, so favoured by the communication from the loan contractors, d e fi c ient in m detail as it i s a b out Turkish fi nance, ePP"r 6 !") be lacking in info rmat i on.
