By Captain LEVINGE. " This is one of the pleasantest books of travels we have read fm' many a day—full of curious facts, vivid impressions, judicious watarks, and well-told stories. Captain Levinge sees everything that is to be seen, and shoots at er angles for everything that is to be killed or caught (trom a moose or salmon to a colonial beauty) in or about the Canadas ; races th-ough the United States, ride, rod, sketch-book, or note-book in hand ; tries most kinds of transatlantic life, and seems to seize intuitively on the traits or incidents best fitted to throw light on manners, or convey a lively impression of a scene."—Examner.

In our previous allusions to this important consideration, we took occasion to specify some few of the many tan gible or appreciable benefits already conferred upon mankind directly, throughithe instrumentality, or in directly, through the influence of this remarkable body. Nevertheless, its utility can in no adequate manner be estimated from the discoveries made under its supervision, from the theories propounded in :its discussions, from the scientific data evolved under its scrutiny, frOM the original and startling treatises perused in its different sections, or from the novel illustrations by which it has so frequently, and sometimes so successfully, endeavoured to elucidate andfdevelop the truths already stored in the garner house of knowledge. Not merely is the British Asso- Ciation endued in its very nature with a capacity for inciting men forward upon the tracks of civilization, and for aiding the effirts of a previously isola:ed philosophy ; but it is thereby promoting the still loftier cause of morality, of religion, and of the universal regeneration of the human species. Not only again is it evidencing its powers for the realisa tion of these grand designs, by the circumstances which are periodically revealed to the public in the newspapers, but its ends are being yet more signally accomplished in secrecy'and in silence. The good resulting from the collision of thought among philo sophers, will not merely evince itself in the language actually uttered in the course of their discussions and conversations. A good will result from such colli sions of much more solid and intrinsic worth, though for the moment it may appear less brilliant, or be altogether invisible. Many trains of reasoning by induction will be commenced during the period of su4 E z to be pondered upon hereafter Zit c Q....._ ---,,-7,--00,, 0 1.14",t1, --- •':- ~ - 7 ,1 5 . / / : 4 / - .r-F.6.:ys, Al i i - S' ri THE SUN, ,LONDON, SATITitiIAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 19 1 1846. in the privacy of the laboratory, to be tested by in numerable experiments, to he germinated under the fructifying influence of contemplation, and to be matured by assiduous inquiry. Had BACON 1 - ,03- sesed the advantages of an intercourse with GALILEO the former—that high priest of modern philosophy— might not merely have discarded all his fallacious ob jections to the Heliocentric system, but might have opened new fields for investigation beyond those first traversed by the intellect of COPERNICUS, and subse quently by the mind and the eyes of the Tuscan astrono mer. Had the vast intelligences of NEWTON and of LEIB.. NITZ been brought into continual correspondence with each other, the mysteries of the Differential Calculus might have been earlier disclosed, and one of the most lamentable strifes recorded in the history of science have been altogether avoided. Had such an associa tion teen instituted, for example, at such a remote period as the establishment of the Lyncean Society —had the greatest scientific geniuses of Europe been thereby brought into annual communing, knowledge would unquestionably have extended far beyond the glorious dimensions it has even now at tained. Agriculture w iuld have been still more bene fited by mechanics in implements, by hydraulics in drainage and irrigation, and by chemistry in the treatment of vegetation and the selection of manures. We might extend these very rational conjectures throughout the whole complication of human in dustry, throughout manufactures, throughout naval architecture, throughout the entire range of domestic economy and international enterprise. It is wise, however, to restrict our attention to the may.be's of the future instead of regarding the might have-been's of the past. Already the British Assoe ation can ,enumerate its succe , .ses ; it can rejoice over the good it has already accomplished, and can without vainglory revert to its different achievements, and especially to the achievements of its individual members and its corresponding associates. Such a re trospect was the discourse uttered at Southampton by its President, Sir RODERICK Muncntsox. The wandering and vagrant character of the asso ciation has been objected to, but in reality it constitutes not its least advantage. By holding their meetings in the different quarters of a country, philosophers not only extend their own knowledge of nature, but excite a wholesome rever- ence for science in the minds of thousands who might otherwise have continued unconscious of i's dignity. A spirit of noble emulation is, morever, in spired into the hearts of our sages by such an in- terconrse, and beyond this, the multitude is inspired with a more ennobling love for the material glories of nature, and a more intense veneration for those spiritual glories which are evidenced in the functions and the organisation of matter. These are the considerations experienced by us as Englishmen, and as denizens of this island ; but looking at the question in a cosmopolitan light, our opinion of the advantages likely to result from such a periodical accumulation of intellect is only confirmed. 4 ‘ The great bridge has been built," said Sir Jonx HERSCIIEL," there is no longer a great gulf between Great Britain and the continent. The mind of man rises superior to the physics of matter. It has bridged over the great gulf." There is something Oriental in the simplicity of these words, and there is something peculiarly beautiful in their truthfulne=s. It is by such associations as these, by bringing the most eminent as well as the most obscure mernbErs of separate nations together, and by promoting amity between them through such an elevating medium as that of science, that all the in vid , ous distinctions of race are obliterated. and men are ultimately brought to regard' -- each other not as rivals, but as brethren Mr. COBDEN has already predicated the eternal peace of nations from the establishment of a freedom in commerce. That peace will be expedited by such associations as the present. Mutual respect and affection will be instilled into the representatives of the intellect of the different kingdoms of the earth by an intercourse thus sanctified by nature and philosophy We offered a few remarks on Monday last relative to the inspiriting intelligence which was brought by the Indian mail, concerning promotion from the ranks in the army. We would not then detract from the feelings of delight that flowed from the concession of so important a principle—one so entirely in conso nance with the best dictates of our nature—by taking any exception to the limits prescribed by the docu ment of the East India Directors, of 22d April la 4, and within which the elevation of the non-commis sioned officer to the rank of ensign must he confined. In juitice, however, to the gravity of the question, and to all who have enlisted themselves to become the appointed defenders of our country, we now re vert to the subject, to suggest that, although the soldier has received by the late proceedings in India (where six sergeant-majors were raised to the dignity of officers) a considerable instalment of what is justly his due, it still falls far short of what he is entitled to expect, as well from what sound policy would dictate as from a proper regard to his natural rights. It is remarkable how continued injustice is frequently perpetrated from the timorous nature of the minds of the greater portion cf public men .Where even a principle is clear, and common sense and good feeling alike re commend it, yet if its adoption involve a deviation from the old beaten track of their government, men, charged with authority seem instinctively to dread the responsibility of doing even a good action, mani festly commendable though it be in whatever light it may he viewed. Thus the East India Company have sanctioned the principle that every private in their service may henceforth look to gain the epaulette, but only when he shall have eminently distinguished himself in action with the enemy. This is a narrow minded regulation. In point of policy, it is miserable. In periods of peace, a mere ignis fatuus. Unless the hope of promotion to the superior dignities of his gallant profession be extended to the soldier in the subordinate ranks, when we are blessed with peace as well as when we are engaged in the conflict of arms, his aspirations on entering the service necessarily become limited indeed. Besides, the point, at which the authorities of Leadenhall-street consider the brightest hopes of their soldiers should be checked, is quite at variance with the spirit in which the continental armies are administered. Through out their military manuals there shines a steady, even, light, which animates the raw but deserving, recruit, at every step of his career, till be reaches the pinnacle of distinction. The stinted manner in which the East India Directors have feebly attempted to follow in the ennobling wake of rival military powers, savours of tantalising cruelty. They merely brandish a dazzling light before the eyes of their patriotic de- fenders, and immediately reduce it to a focus which involves in desolating obscurity every honourable emotion of the mind. Nothing shows more distinctly the unfairness and short-sighted impolicy of the con- dition the directors have attached to promotion from the ranks than their own document, already alluded to. It is there stated, that, inasmuch as the ages of the sergeant-majors, whom they had appointed ensigns were too far advanced to enter the regular service, according to their rules, irregular employment must be found for them. Thus, after a man, by dint o extraordinary prowess, has succeeded in entering the sanctuary of distinction, he finds himself simultane- ously diverted from the straight line which he would have eagerly pursued, to the mutual honour and glory of himself and his country. It is a trite and true saying, that the best way to preserve peace is to be always in the best state of preparation for war. It would seem to follow from this, that, if any difference is to be made touching the peculiar recognition of the merits of the soldier, between his service in peace and his service in war, expediency would indicate the desirableness of stimulating him by honourable re wards during the farmer rather than the latter period. The better your description of men, the higher your state of discipline—both of which would be best secured by attending to the legitimate impulses of the human mind—the less will the enemy be likely to come to the encounter; but come the encounter when it might, the British soldier, grateful for the considerate manner in which he had been endeared to his chivalrous calling, would then be seen in his towering strength, and, with " the memory of the heart," grappling with his foes to the perfect vindi cation of the cause for which his SOVEREIGN had summoned him to the field. It is to education generally throughout the army, upon a well-organibed system that we must chiefly look for the reformation needed in the British service. In Prussia the officers receive extra pay who undertake to instruct and generally to educate their subordinates; and whenever their pupils pass certain examinations in subjects which not only fit them for their profession, but also for becoming in telligent citizens of the world, they receive their coveted commissions. We are aware that our officers would not, and, indeed, for the most part are not competent to undertake a similar duty; but, by the appointment of learned and liberally paid men to superintend the education of the soldier, and to have it followed up by the like results by which the Prussian candidate is inspired, would speedily create a moral revolution. The young gentlemen would receive a gentle hint upon quitting their military schools that they cannot with impunity suffer their minds to remain idle, if they wish to enjoy a proper influence in their regiments. How great is the amount of leisure at the command of officers when abroad in different parts of the world, and how extended are the fields which lay open to them for observation and research, by which so much of useful knowledge might be culled and disseminated for the improvement of mankind, and yet how lamentably deficient are we in any valued works of literature from military men ! What opportu nities neglected, what a discreditable lack of intellect and energy ! Such works as NAPIER'S " Peninsular War," which almost stands alone for the excellence of its matter and masterly style, only come to us " like angels' visits, few and far between." Yet, how many more like these might have adorne3 our shelves, had education been generously diffused throughout the British army. Let us but sow the seed, and we shall soon welcome the fruit. We yesterday urged in the strongest manner the propriety, the necessity, of some immediate steps being taken by the Executive for the purpose of directing the vast quantity of unemployed labour in Ireland, that at present consumes and diminishes the national wealth, which it might greatly increase if judiciously directed into profitable channels; and we urged the reclamation and cultivation of the waste lands in that country, as one of, if not the very best and most beneficial modes of its application. In that opinion we are not singular. It has long been regarded as a matter of surprise and astonishment that greater ex ertions have not been made, that a larger amount of capital has not been devoted to an object which would not merely return a most ample and remunerating dividend for the capital employer], but also be productive of the greatest public benefit and advantage. In the report of Lord DEVON'S Commission it is stated that " without going the length of supposing that employment for the people upon bringing such lands into a profitable cultivation is to furnish a cure for the evils of Ireland, we concur in the opinion so strongly expressed in former reports, that very great advantages may be expected from judicious ar rangements for that purpose." And it is afterwards suggested " that it may be worthy of serious consi deration, whether the State might not very usefully make for these purposes, at a moderate rate of' interest, some advance, regulated by the amount which com panies or individuals might advance in aid of such operations." That, " the funds required would not he very large in any one year, and yet a great public benefit would he attained in increase of employment for labour; in the progressive extension of' productive land; and in the opportunity thereby afforded for the location of industrious families who may have been, from unavoidable circumstances, compelled to quit their former holdings ;" and again they add, " We are desirous of stating our opinion that under proper arrangements the reclamation of waste lands, whilst it gives useful and permanent employment to the labouring► population, will at the same time produce a fair return for the capital em ployed upon it." In addition to this testimony which is very valuable, in consequence of the weight which must necessarily be attached to any opinion deliberately put forward by persons of such high character, so competent to arrive at a sound conclusion as the Commissioners, we have the published and recorded statements of a gentleman of great intelligence and philanthropy, Mr. POULETT SCROPE, who, in the month of April 'last, republished observations made by him on the same subject in the year 18.34, with a postscript, bringing them down to the present year, and which we venture to say contains the soundest reasoning, the most unanswerable arguments for the adoption of such a course. But this was not all— he brought forward in his place in the Legislative Councils a measure, prepared by himself, for the pur pose of carrying his object into execution. This measure, unfortunately, failed during the last session. It could hardly be expected that a private Member, unconnected with the Go. vernment, should conduct through its various stages and bring to a successful concluion enactments of so important a character. He, how ever, obtained a discussion, anti published to the na tion a proposition which might be attended with the most beneficial results. If such steps then were deemed desirable at periods when there was every promise and hope of an abundant harvest and a sufficiency of the usual and ordinary food for the Irish people, as in other years, how greatly is that advintage enhanced, that benefit multiplied, if they should be adopted at a season when gaunt famine and destitution of the most fearful character impend over the nation ; when employment of some kind, whether useful or other wise, must be provided in order to enable the labour ing classes to purchase a bare sufficiency of ne cessary food ; when the return for the outlay will be in the shape of an increase in the inadequate supply of food, the creation, if we may so terms it, of many thousands of acres of land, affording a home and permanent occupation to many of our hardy yeomen, who would otherwise per chance have to bid an eternal farewell to their native land, and to seek in another and distant country that shelter, that home, which is not accorded to them in their own. Every consideration demands that no time should be lost in commencing operations, " dimidium facti qui cepit habet." If once energetic steps are taken they will be per severed in until every reclaimable acre in our sister island is brought into cultivation. Difficulties may at this moment be interposed in the way of improving the greater portion of these lands, occasioned by the limited nature of the estate, or the weight of the encumbrances affecting the owner, but there are few counties in Ireland where a sufficiency of lands might not be procured for present occupation, which are not affected by such impediments, and even were that not the case, there is little doubt but that a remedy would be applied in the commencement of the next session, and that every just and reasonable protection would be afforded both to the proprietor and the reclaimer. We believe that it has been calculated that an expen diture of about 101. per acre on an average, including the purchase-money, would make that valuable and pro ductive land which at present is barren, and all but valueless; three-fourths of that amount would be ex pended on labour alone ; and if, in place of being purchased, the amount which should be paid to the proprietor were exchanged for a fee-farm rent in per petuity, the whole of the money to be advanced from the coffers of the State would be applied in the most advantageous manner for the relief of the existing distress, and the repayment would not be delayed for a term of ten years, as contemplated with respect to the present advance. If the lands so reclaimed were brought into the market for sale, in small lots, there would be numerous bidders ready to compete therefor, and to more than repay the entire advance, or to levee large interest therefor, in the sh-pe of rent. In such a ca e the benefit would rot merely be in the •mployment afforded, the profils derived, but there would be the additional one, the creation of a class of yeomanry or small land owners, a body of all others perhaps the most valuable for the nation, the land being their own, the benefit of every improvement thereon being secured to themselves or their children. Every in ducement will be held out to patient and persevering industry, all the capabilities of the land will be fully developed and brought forth. You will besides have a numerous and efficient class having stakes in the country, and deeply interested in the maintenance of peace and tranquillity, and the suppression of riot and disturbance ; the chief exciting cause will be re moved of those outrages which have unhappily too often affixed. a stain upon Ireland. It is now.pretty generally admitted that these crimes are-. or an agrarian -character, And unconnected with feelii ;- they have their origin in the competition for land, in the illegal societies that have arisen for the purpose of protecting the tenant against the rapacity, the undue-exercise of poAer by his landlord. When there is a place of refuge on which the ejected cottier can find employment and a home, there will no longer be the same motive for combination, and for over awing the landlord from dealing with his property in the manner he thinks most advisable. Surely a course which promises such results is at least worthy of a trial, and the sooner such a trial takes place the better. From a letter published in the Cologne Gazette, it appears that the Grand Duke MicHAEL, of Russia, who is at present in Vienna, will remain there some time longer, 93 a project is on foot for a marriag.e between the GRAND DUKE'S daughter and the Arch duke STEPHEN, of Austria, the head of the Government of Bohemia. The Emperor of RUSSIA is, it is said, exceedingly anxious that this union should take place without delay. The Ilarnburgh Correspondent contradicts the re port which was published some days since in the Weser Gazette, and which stated the Emperor of RUSSIA had written to the King of DENMARK, re n-nincing his eventual rights to the succession of the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. The Grand Duke of BADEN has sanctioned the law passed by the States for the separation of the judi ciary from the other powers of the State, the ap pointment of udges dum bene se gesserint, and the dt-livery of oral testimony and publicity of trial. The law comes into operation on the Ist of January next. The police still possess the power of punish ing various minor offences summarily, but the States have petitioned the Grand Duke to deprive them of this power in many cases. The High Church party in the Second Chamber of the States of Baden, sustained a severe check on the 10th instant. M. Buss, a Deputy, made a motion, the object of which was to render the Catholic Church completely independent of the State, and thus tending in the end to ensure the supremacy of the Jesuits. The motion, after being opposed with great talent and energy by M. NVELCKER, and other of his polled!, friends, was rejector' by a great ma jority. The principles of free-trade are making some pro gress in Prussia. At a recent dinner of the Com mittee of Industry, at Berlin, the President proposed a% one of the toasts, " Free trade—trade emancipated from all restrictions." Madrid papers to the 11th have been received. The Carlists in Catalonia are up and doing. They have proclaimed CHARLES VI. in several places, and at Solsona the celebrated TRISTANY is in arms, at the head of 300 men. Such is the intelligence which appears in the Espanol, intelligence which is confirmed by the telegraphic dispatch received this morning (which we publish in another part of our paper), an- nouncing the escape of Don CARLOS from France. These are the first fruits of the MONTPENSTER mar riage, which avowedly was intended to secure to the ORLEANS dynasty undispnted possession of the thrones of France and Spain. The Progressistas are quite as outrageous against the marriage as the Carlists. The Liberals of Lugo have transmitted to Madrid a protest against it, couched in language so strong that the Clamor Public° fears to publish it. A protest from the Progressistas of Murcia, couched in less violent language, appears in its columns. The provincial papers of Cadiz, Seville, and Barcelona, have all declared against the MONTPENSTER marriage. The ECJ has an article on the subject, several parts of which are left in blank, having been suppressed by the Political Chief, who had seized the number. In the portion of this article which the Spanish Go vernment has suffered to appear, the Eco states that the second note of Mr. BULWER to M. ISTUITITZ amounts almost to a veto by England against the marriage, and warns the Spanish Cabinet against persevering in a project which, it says, is likely if realised to lead to a serious misunderstanding be tween France and England, and the forfeiture by Spain of the friendship of a kind and generous ally, is exchange for sn alliance with France, by the mar riage of the INFANTA with a Prince who is rejected by the whole of the Spanish nation. It is reported by the Afrancesarlo party that " Air BULWER is still without instructions from his Govern-, went, and it is generally thought that England will not counteract the views of France and Spain. In the meantime, Mr. BuLwEa has sent ;n a third note to the President of the Council, containing observations of a general nature, suggested by his own personal inspiration. Thi• note will be the last addressed to M. ISTURITZ, for Mr. BULWER conclu lesby declaring that it was not his intention to make any further communication on the subject to the Spanish Cabinet unless the instructions he received from his Govern ment in posed upon him that duty." The Herald() aribounces that both marriages will probably he celebrated on the 10th of October. A royal ordonnance appears in the Gazette, autho rising the organization of a new army of reserve, to consist of sixteen regiments. The corps of Veterans is to be disbanded. MADRID BOMA, SEPT. 11.--The Three per Cents. were done at 364 for cash ; the Four per Cents. at 221 ; the Five per Cents. at 23; the Passives at 68; and the Coupons at 211. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. The Journal des Debats announces that the POPE on the morning of the Bth was to have signed the dispensation for the marriage of the Queen of SPAIN with her cousin, and that it might be expected to arrive at Madrid about the 17th or 18th. According to the Debats this marriage was to re unite all the members of the ItonanoN family under the headship of the KING of the PRENCII. Disunion, however, instead of union, seems to be the result produced, if the following statement in the Courrier Francais is to be relied on:— " It appears that, since the announcement of the two marriages, a certain coolness has taken place between the King of Naples and the French Goverement. The Ministry had made, some months ago, advances and formal prnmis-s to the Count de Trapani, and subse quently abandoned him suddenly and without explana t,on. The Neapolitan Goverment has expressed to our Ambassad. r, M. de Montebello, the discontent that it fella at such conduct." We find the following in the Sieele : " A report was lately prevalent that the English had taken possession of the Bay of Diego-Suarez. We observed on that occasion that this report, corning from Pondicherry, was probably on l y th e ec h o o f some news which had been circulated at B .urbore We are now better informed on the subject. The Foreign effice has signified to our eftbinet that it must ev:ic.ate Mayotte or consent to Diego Suarez becoming a British settlement. It is only a few days since the Marquis of Norma.,by handed to M Guizot the note in which this demand is made with much politeness, but in a most pr-ssing manner. Lon.' Palmerston de mands a speedy answer, England not wishin g to re main in d .uht as to the inteutions of France re specting Madagascar. It is useless to observe that the directing authority has been triueh annoyed, and even hurt at this note, which has disturbed ill() triumph of the grand policy in Spain. Nevertheless, he quickly reco vered from his alarm. It was not known what present could b offered to England as an equi%alent for the marriage of the Duke de Montpensier. Diego-Suarez will be quietly surrendered, together with the rights of the sovereignty of France ovor Madagascar. We shad engage, moreover, not to pursue Ahd-el-Kader into Morocco. But can we pay too dearly for the good feel ing of England and the honour of counting an Infanta amongst the daughters-in•law of the King of the French ?" The France thus comments on the cruel neglect with which the French prisoners in the power of Ann-EL• KADER have been treated by the Govern ment .‘ W e have publist!ed the letter in which Commandant Conrby dc Cogtiord, a prisoner of Ahdo-l-Kader, points out the misery of his I are captivity. Detained for ,levee months under the tents of the Emir, piteously dragged about with his companions in misfortune in the suite of the Deira, M. Courby de Cognord in vain demands of the Government of his country that it will deign to put an end to their , cruel situation. We could have comprehended the conduct of the Minister of War in leaving our unfortunate countrymen in the power of the Emir, if their deliverance would have imposed On us sacrifices incompatible with the dignity and honour of tho country. But what we can not admit is, that their release should be still delayed, when the only thing required to effect it is the simple exchange of some insignificant prisoners. Abd-cl-Kader only demands the release of some Arab , ;, and at that price he will restore to us M. Courby de Cognord and his unfortunate companions. It is in truth .reces sary to call to mind all the negligrnee with which af fairs have been cA l d ucte d i n Af r i ca f or some var.,— all the int:Henceof the military dictat rship hick rules' that country—in or d er to account for con d uc t so care l ess o • and 60 inhuman. But what does this concern the Minister of War? Ho confides Algeria to Marshal Bugeaud, who in ,return confides in no One, and thinks he - has done enough when he has puffed up his overweening vanity by SOME new and fruitless expedition.. 'this state of things bacomes intolerable. It is already- too long since Marshe.l. But:eau:l has treated the colony in the tens style cf I, , uis XIV., and has said to himself L'Aftique. nini' It is in fact time that this conquest t.beuid b,conie French ground, that the mother country should have its eyes on it, and make its beneficent influence more felt there. After the reign of the.unintelligent sabre, the reign of humanity should, it appears to us, commence in Africa, and we think that our power would lose nothing by it." The French squadron, commanded by the Prince JOINVILLE, sailed from Naples for the Gulf of Spezzia on the 10th inst. The Moniteur publishes a royal ordinance of the 11th inst., protnoting the Duke DE MONTPENSIER to the rank of M jor- General.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND 'WOLVERHAMPTON RAILWAY WORKS.—DUDLEY, W EDNESDA Y.—A dreadful and fatal occurrence has hap pened at the works of the Oxfiird, Worcester, and Wol verhampton Railway, near to this town. It should be stated that this line of railway passes under a large portion of the town of Dudley by a tunnel, and it was in the construction of this tunnel that the accident hap pened. The particulars may be very briefly stated. It appears that three men were employed, yesterday, in one of the tunnel pits, one of Whom was a workman Lamed John Bridge. The pit was situated at the back of the Talbot Inn, in Hell street, and was numbered 4. The men, it appse:rs, had prepared a "shot," and Bridge was ascending the shaft of the tunnel in a skip or basket, when, from sr-me fatality, which cannot at the present moment be accounted for, he fell out of the skip head foremost to the bottom of the shale a distance of forty or fifty yards. His companions immediately proceeded to raise him to the mouth of the pit, but he appeared quite dead, his head being literally crushed to pieces and almost severed from hi s b o d y . Th e body was convey e d to t h e Talbot Inn, and medical help was promptly at hand, but the poor folow was beyond all human aid. PECRUAM FAlR.—This ancient fur is about to be revived after a discontinuance of nearly 25 years. Large placards were on Thursday extensively circulated through out the metropolitan district, announcing that the fair -will be opened on Monday next, at twelve o'clock, and continue for three days.
