AVERAGES FOR THE WEEK ENDING AUG. 28, 1852. Wheat B eaus 0 ~ —s Od lIULL, AUG. 31. Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states—We have had a week of exceedingly favourable weather for harvest operations, and much progress is made throughout this district. The trade has been more quiet this than the preceding week, but still several sales of old foreign wheat have been made to distant places, where the new crop seems to have suffered more than with us. To-day we had a good attendance of farmers, find a fair show of new wheat; condition much better than last week, and quality generally good. The general run of prices was from 38s to 41s per qr weighed 631 b per bushel. Very little old English offering. A very re tail sale for old foreign, the current demand being on fresh red qualities. Barley goes off for consumption at our currency. Beans are 63 to Is dearer, especially Egyptian, which are now much reduced in stock. Peas exceedingly scarce, and in great request. No alteration in the linseed market. Cakes very firm. Nothing doing in rapeseed. Rape cakes fetch full prices. The following are the present prices of grain:— s. S.

For som e tim erc in presence only of the child's arm and body, g r e e s n u t l l t e , immediately laid hold of. The gi r l, of the nurses instantly called out, " You m g st ir , as it is alleged, not touch that." " But I must have it," said the l " But," said the deaf chill, " you shan't hawveomita;;* " I will have it," exclaimed the nurse, and away went the bundle, the child with great resigna tio n " Well, if you will, you must." The saying,g s ur g eon undid the parcel, and found it to consist of a b ou t a score of napkins, bits of linen, &c., which, it t is said, heel been recently used. Th ese were spread out upon the counterpane, and the parents and two watchers were summoned in to gaze upon the not very fragrant discovery. Of course the utmost consternation was depicted on the faces of the parents. The mother .z • Aeritediately_ accused the_ child ofdaceizing stoppwrrylte remark that this part of the imposition could not have been carried through without her agency. The father seemed in an agony of distress, and solemnly protested that he was entirely ignorant that the napkins were there, and that so far as he knew neither morsel nor drop had passed the child's lips for sixteen weeks. Messrs. Webb and Whitby, the medical gentlemen, and the nurses, immediately left the cottage, and all, with the exception of the surgeon, walked on to Woodbridge, feeling indignant at the imposition that had been practised. It is im portant, however, to notice that during Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thurs dave she had had no food or drink, neither was any food found in the bedding. Mr. Matcham, a medical practitioner, makes the following statement : " TO THE EDITOR OF THE IPSWICH EXPRESS. " SiT,—ln consequence of the statements which have been made relative to the above case, I took the earliest passible opportunity of visiting the parents for the pur pose of bearing their version of the affair. I now append briefly their statetnent:-15t. Elizabeth Squirrell did not take any food during the time the gentlemen appointed to watch were present; nor had she taken any for fourteen wee ks, 2. No food was found in or about the bed when searched by the nurses. The evidence so far is conclu sive. The only suspicious circumstance is the searching of the bed and finding twenty-one pieces of handker chiefs, cloths, and fragments of long deserted and forgot ten dresses, containing dried fens, hard, mouldy, and swimming on the surface of the water when put into it. After heari ng the statement of the parents, I proceeded to the clergyman of the parish (the Rev. Mr. Frances), and had an interview with Mr. Frances, the surgeon, who made the examination at the request of Mr. Webb. His answers to my interrogations were most satisfactory. On examining the pulse he found it beating 85 to the m i nute; it, subsequently increased to 95, and ulti mately to 120. He is of opinion that Elizabeth Squir rell is suffering from a disease of the heart, which of course would readily account for the variation of the pulse. Mr. Frances found no fasces that had re cently passed, nor was there any appearance of urine, which I humbly submit to the learned and reverend divines would have been the case had she taken food or drink during the time they were there or previous. I o ence to criinate respectfully submit that th e re is n evid h either father, moth er, or daug ter. I confess it i s diffi cult to account for the discovery of so many fragments of garments, &c.; but the fact itself, when properly con sidered, e xonerates the parents, for no one could believe them so devoid of cleanliness as to leave such things in the house to the detriment of their own and c hiefs health, if they knew o f it. In review of these facts, I must conclude that there is no evidence at p resent to justify us in branding the Squirrells with impotur I would invite the public to visit for themselves, hear the counter statements, and then decide. The inquiry has terminated so far is a very ungentlemanly and unscien tific manner, and nothing but a second watch of gentle men who have no interest but the public in view will be conclusive. Trusting to your usual willingness to give the truth so far as you can arrive at it for the insertion of this letter—l am, Sir, yours, &0.. "ALFRED R. MATCHAM, M.D. "Norwich. road, Ipswiab, Mondave_elligueLelei" _ leeeten tee-conclude our narrative : Oa the morning following the discovery the father came to Ipswich with a bundle of napkins, which we believe he took to Mr. Webster to prove that they had not been recently used, but we cannot tell whether these were the identical ones that were found, whether the wife deceived the husband, or whether all have been engaged in carrying through one of the most blasphemous pieces of deception on record. After the discovery the girl folded her hands, and looking to heaven (for it is fully believed that she has the use of her sight) said, "I commit myself to the care of my guardian angel, and know that Gad will take care of me." When her father left for Ipswich she exclaimed, " Never fear, father, I shall weather the storm—'twill all end well." We understand that her parents and herself still stoutly assert that she has taken no kind of nourishment for sixteen weeks, and that each of the three is most anxious for a further trial which shall extend over fourteen days. Unless there be full and unimpeachable testimony. that the state of the napkins was such as to indicate without doubt that they had been recently used, the case in the eyes of the public will not be deemed sa tisfactorily settled. Our duty is to state the two sides of the case, and to leave our readers to form their own conclusions. It most not be forgotten that the whole value of the discovery rests on the testimony of the two nurses and the medical gentleman, and in the preceding letter Mr. Matcham coolly asserts that the surgeon told him the fleeces had not recently passed, nor were there any appearances of urine. If this be so, what becomes of the discovery ? What becomes also of the fact that, closely as the girl was watched, nothing was seen to pass her lips, and the fact also that her pulse alternated from 85 to 120 a minute ? Were the nurses, also, quite accurate in their ac count of what occurred when they seized the napkins ? Probably it will be deemed necessary to make a farther examination, should not the report of the com mittee be perfectly conclusive. We need hardly add that it is believed the girl can see, and that her alleged ability to read writing with her fingers is disputed. It is also believed that she can hear, and if the conversation regarding the clothes be accurately narrated, there is positive proof that she has the use of this faculty. Regarding the ringing of the glass, we ought to add that she has in her room a glass harmonicon, which frequently laid on her bed, and on which she was very fond of playing, though we cannot conceive what delight she could take in music that she could not hear. The belief is that this is the means by which the ringing is occasioned ; that in lieu of the invisible angel's wings, she touched it under the bed clothes while her visitors were ab sorbed in their devotions. But we must leave the whole case to the judg ments of our readers. Much more might be written. We might enlarge upon the fact that the girl is un doubtedly an extraordinary character—that at the be ginning of her illness she certainly took but little to sustain life—that reports of her abstinence from food spread widely—that the cottage was besieged—that its humble occupant was lionised—that the parents had their vanity flattered and their pockets replenished —and that the thing has gone on to the present mo ment, interspersed with many extraordinary circum stances. For the present, however, we drop further allusion to the matter. • ' EXTRAORDINARY NARRATIVE. (From the Ipswich Express) Many of the allegations connected with the follow ing extraordinary narration have for some time been known to us, but up to the present period we have for many reasons preferred remaining silent regarding them. It is our painful duty to allude to a very re markable case, many of the features of which are so abhorrent, from their apparently profane connexion with' religions subjects, that we could wish we had been spared the duty of detailing them. Shottisham is a quiet village in Suffolk, distant froth Ipswich thirteen miles, from Woodbridge five miles. Aseph Squirrell (a small tea dealer) and his wife have long resided there, and were believed to be honest, ,industrious, and worthy people. Amongst their family was an interesting girl named Elizabeth, who, ifelict, is the heroine of our tale. Whilst a mere child this girl gave evidenve that she possessed a very superior mind. At ten she was placed under the care of Mr. Osborne, 'the village schoolmaster, who soon perceived that his pupil was a girl of great natural ability. She was attentive to her studies, and whilst others were at play she would be closely engaged in poring over the books that composed Mr. Osborne's library. 'Havin g a re li g i ou s turn kall of mind, she read upo theologi ca l p o i n ts. She also made herself aclitainted w i th t h e Enn ' poets, with history, with parts of botany, and with phonography. In June, 1850, at the age of twelve, sbe left the school from illness, occasioned, it is said, by too close attention to her studies. Her ill nessshe had the best medical advice, and was subsequently sent to the East Suffolk Hospital, in Ips w i c h, where she remained assumed the ab s o h u a t p es six x f a spinalweeks. affection, for which She then returned home, became worse, and lock jag , set in, depriving her, as it was alleged, of the power of swallowing. She lived on suction, milk being poured down her throat, but the quantities were so small that her death was daily expected. She, however, to the astonishment of her friends and the villagers, con tinued to live on, although it was said she did not take a morsel of solid food. At Midsummer, 1851, she recovered from her lock-jaw, but it was alleged that she had previously been seized with blindness and deafness—faculties which she did not regain. The way in Which she had lived begun to be talked of, and some excitement was occasioned amongst the gossips of the neighbouring villages. But at about this time the writings and speeches of the child oc casioned considerable interest, which was heightened by the assertion that she still ate no food. Persons living in the locality came to visit her, and found the patient in a humble apartment, supported on her bed by pillows, with a countenance which most of them called " angelic," but which certainly was re markable for its singularly devotional cast, and for the great intelligence which beamed from it. Although it was alleged she could not see, her eyes remained open, and but little defect could be observed in them. To her visitors who sympathised with her she would say, when lamenting her deafness and blindness, that " what s h e h a d learned during health were the tools she had to make use of during her illness." Every hour that passed away added to the excitement, and spread her fame wider and wider from her native village. At all hours ,of the day parties wended their way to her cottage, and no sooner had they ga ze d on the child than they were interested in her—an interest that had a strange dash of mystery in it when they were as sured that for nearly two years not a particle of solid f o od had passed her lips. But the moment she begun to speak she fairly enchained the sympathies of her hearers. For the most part her remarks applied to religious subjects, on which she would descant with a beauty of language, power of thought, and de votion of mind to which (Id divines could make little pretension, and she became to be regarded as a being who had some direct mission to accomplish on behalf o f Deity. Her intellectual and devotional powers were developed to their utmost whenever sceptics or infidels were within range of her voice. On secular subjects, also, her remarks were clearly and power fully given, and also manifested an inti mate acquaintance with the topics on which she dwelt. - Iler parents were equally as tonished with others, and ever solemnly- pro- , - tested -that - lief aelevrtirsas' ss zar as s „-- .........a.....,,,,s from food were religiously corr ec t. Her statement regarding herself and her alleged peculiar condition was, that she had seen a vision of angels, one of which number had consented to become her constant atten dant and guardian. Lest she should not be believed, she frequently prayed earnestly that God would grant to her and her visitors some immediate manifestation, which should convince all that she was really the object of God's especial favour. After a time her prayer was answered in this wise—whilst her visitors were deeply engaged in devotional exercises, a ringing noise was heard as if proceeding from a small tumbler glass that stood some distance from her. The sound excited the attention of those who were present, who listened in wonder to her statement that whenever it so unded it was swept by th e i nvisible W i n gs of the angel that attended her, and was a direct manifesta tion from heaven of the pr esence of God. Oft en and often did this mysterious ringing occur—and always when they were most devout ; but the visit ors were unable to account for it. She often, although d eaf, expressed much anxiety th a t it s h ou ld ring, and a f ter its peculiar sounds had bee n h ear d s h e seemed bathed which h . er in a sort of ethereal inspiration during thoughts flowed from her lips, burdened with devotion. and religious zeal. During a considerable par . t_ of her peculiar state she gave evidence of great sensilbL lity of touch, being, as it was asserted, en ableu Lu read any person's letters by running her finger overs the lines, and deciphering by the same alleged means the phonographic cha racters that were pri nted on letter wafers.

Wherever the sun shines or the wind blows, or business, pleasure, and health Is pursued by the numerous grades of the hu man family, Dress, elegant and serviceable, is constantly sought, but nowhere is it found so cheap, so good, or so fa-hionable as at E. MOSES and SON'S, where variety is applied to every article, and its styles approved by all parties. Sportsmen find it easy, waterproof, and elegant. Parents find it more pleasing to their children and more satisfactory to themselves than any other. Etcursionists discover it is expressly the dress they need, and Noblemen, Clergyme while all n, Trades men, or Mechanics eac h g ive it their warmest approval, purchasers are convinced that its quality and cheapness exhibit the triumph of E. MOSES and SON over every other house in the world. MUCH GOLD AND LITTLE GOLD. Emigrants, your circumstances demand plain statements, sup ported by truth and experience. Your " Little Gold" should become the germ of " Much Gold," and if judiciously spent is sure to suc ceed. " Much Gold" may be expended with inexperienced Outfit tres, and little service will you get from their goods. " Little Gold" will procure at E. MOSES and SON'S an Outfit which will answer t most important purposes, froM the time of your embarkation to the p e riod when your wishes are realised in the possession of wealth. " Much Gold" may be consumed in separate purchases by Emi grants, but " Little Gold" will procure each a collection of clothing and useful articles as are worth calling an Outfit, if E. MOSES and SON'S Establishme nt is the only place applied to. " Little Gold" in a good market is better than " Much Gold" in a bad one, as an unsuitable Outfit will be the most expensive as well as the greatest impediment to the Emigrant's success. E. MOSES and SON'S boundless, but select and appropriate Stock shows the Emigrant most convincingly that he is at the best market in the world. " Much Gold" may be easily obtained in Australia at the " Dicgings," o r at almost any other employment, but " Little Gold" spent at E. MOSES and SON'S will put the Emigrant in pos session of more useful and serviceable goods than " Much Gold" will a t present procu re in any of the colonies.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequen ces resulting from irregularities and excesses, whi have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, ever y peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and takene most is ia itself ult i m ate cure are described in detail.

PLYMOUTH, TUESDAY, 3 P.M.--A squadron of four screw steam-frigates were observed at two o'clock this afternoon, under canvas only, about five miles south-west of the Eddystone, steering a S.S.E. course up Channel, with a moderate breeze from W.S.W. The first ship, the Arrogant, was under topsails, topgallant-sails, and royals, foretopgallant-studding sails on the port tack, and maincourse hauled up on the starboard tack. The Dauntless was two miles astern ; she carried a main topgallant-studdingsail on the port tack additional. The Highfiver, a m il e astern of the Dauntless, had fore and maintopgallant studdingsails on the starboard and port tacks. Th e last ship, the Encounter, two miles astern of the llighflyer, bad foretopgallant, top, and lower stud ding-sails both sides, and top and topgallant studding sails on her mainmast. The Arrogant appeared to be running away from the others. They bore the ensign on the peak and signalized their numbers from the main royal d mast head to her Maj est y 's ship Queen in the Soun.

An Irish woman travelling per London and North- Western Railway, from Liverpool to Manchester the other day, having secured tickets for herself and two children, presented a large box, say 4 feet by 2 feet, and 2 feet deep, to the porters, which was placed at the top of one of the carriages. The box was not marked "Glass," or "This side up." In fact there was nothing about it to indicate that any particular care was requi s it e in its transmission, and when the train reached Man chester it is said to have been sent down the s lid e f rom the top of the carriage on which i t had rested sans ceri monie, and alighted with a bump on the landing-stage which was calculated to produce concussion of the brain, if the box had possessed brains. But th e por t ers never supposed the box did contain any br a i ns , and they treated it like any other box. The Irish woman claimed the box, and but for a mistake on her part nothing more would probably have been thought either of her or. her luggage. She made the slight mistake, however, on getting the box free of cost from the porters, when out sprung two children who had been Paeke'dther of opening it before she left the stat ion, side, and who fortunately, it seems, had e scaped. n e'.. r being smothered or getting concussion of the brai n this hazardous mode of treatment.

We have no doubt that these gentlemen could have sent out two magnificent ocean steamers with less trouble to themselves. But " sweet is pleasure after pain ;" their past anxieties will be consoled by the fact that they ate the builders of the most splendid steam•yacht in the world. All the operations have been personally superintended on the part of his Highness Abbas Pasha, by Senan Effendi—a gentle man highly qualified for the task. He was one of 20 Egyptian-youths sent to England re 1829 b the lat Viceroy, Mehemet Ali, to acqui the w ng y lis did h lan e - partly in Portsmouth and part l y in Sheerness , gunge and the art of shipbuilding, hich E he , dock yards, during a residence of nine years in the country. lie returned to Alexandria in 1838, and filled an important office in the p u blic dockyards t here until dispatched,_ i n September of last year, to su p erintend the construction of the Faid Rabane. ;^~ STEAM-YACHT for the PASHA of EGYPT. The attention of the numerous visitors to the Clyde at this season has been attracted by a steam-yacht lying in the dock of Messrs. Tod and Macgregor, the well-known steam-ship builders. The embellishments of this vessel, which will be ready fur sea in a week, are of such a gorgeous character as to lead to the be lief that in this case the power of wealth and the in genuity of man, could go no further. This steam yacht is intended for the use of his Highness Abbas Pasha, the Viceroy of Egypt. during his excursions upon the Nile, and as the "Paid Rlban6," or "Di vine Favour," as she is named, is beyond ail doubt the most brilliant steam-vessel ever fitted up, some short description of her may not be out of place before she leaves our shores for her ultimate destination. The Nile, in bygone times, has been associated with all that is magnificent in the material and construe • tion of her princely barges; for speaking of the aquatic progresses of the beauteous Cleopatre, the historians tell us "that the whole poop of her s hi p fl a med with gold ; the sails were purp le, and the oars inlaid with silver, which kept time to the softest music. A pavilion of cloth of gold was raised upon deck, under which appeared the Que9,ol - likem Yeauni, ndjurrovaded. brttieinta* iiiian then vi-tns orher Court, - of whom some represented on the Nereids and others the Graces. Perfumes burnt deck, which spread their odours to a great dis tance upon the river on each side of its banks, which were covered with an infinitude of people, whom the novelty of the scene had drawn thither.' The bosom of the Nile is ag • ain destined to bear the most splendid vessel which the world and excelling i h n basseen, propelled by steam power,eauty and costliness the Q barge of the renowned of Egypt as far as modern art and science excel those of the ancients. To afford the usual statistics, we have to state that the Faid Rabane is a most exquisitely modelled little steamer of the following dime n sions, viz. : Keel and fore-rake ••• ... 180 feet. Breadth of beam... •.. • • 20 Depth of hold .. ••• ••• ,s Draught of water .. 9 1l • • 3 •• Power of engines If • The ship is furnished with oscillating engines, feathering paddles, and performs thirtee n knots has hour without the slightest perceptible vibration. These These engines are bright with brass and steel work, and are altogether finished with the same taste and care which a superior workman would use in turning out a gold watch. Although the vessel has an ordi nary - escape pipe, it will not be used, for the steam will be blown into the water from the sides of the yacht ; and his Highness and Court will escape those drenchings of condensed vapour which occasisnally make such havoc of ladies' dresses. She has three safety-valves, and a beautiful small brass donkey en gine, quite independent of the others, which is used for supplying the boilers with water when the large engines are still. The principal features of this ship, however, are her interior furnishings and decorations, which, when completed, will realise all that has ever been dreamt of in connexion with Oriental splendour. Some no tion of the extent and magnificence of these fittings may be learnt from the fact that 500 men in Glas gow and elsewhere have been employed upon them for some time past, and are still working night and day. Here is all that is beautiful in the carver's and painter's art, and all that is gorgeous from the looms of Lyons and Spitalfields. There are, in short, no fewer than 450 pictures, of separate subjects, set in frames, almost any one of which would adorn the dra wing-room of a prince. To notice these decora tions, however, more in detail, we may state that from the main-deck the visitor enters his Highness's reception-room, which is in the poop—an apartment of unrivalled beauty, fitted up with the richest rose wood bulkheads, doors, &c , the panels of which are filled with those beautiful pictorial designs, on papier mach& to which we have referred, and set in the most elaborately carved and gilt frames. The di vans, which extend round the saloon, are covered with costly cloth of gold -nn the front of which is suspended gold eml-- needlework, and mas sive gold bullion_fr . nes in depth.

Round each door are richly carved and gilt architraves and pilasters, all of diffe • rent designs, and representing various lovely floral combinations. Entering off the saloon, o n the starboard side, is his Highness's bed-room, which is fitted up in a cone - I sponding style of elegance and grandeur. On the her. board side is his Highness's dressing-room, similarly adorned ; and adjoining these is the bath-room, the floor and sides of which are lined with marble. Round the windows are curtains of gold damask, edged with old lace and fringes, surmoun ted by carved and gilt cornices, and valances of crimson silk velvet, em broidered with needlework of gold, with fuchsias, fringe, tassels, &c., all of the ra rest g old manufacture.

The steps of the stairs are laid with very thick plate glass, painted with gold borders, and representing ones i stn mosaic work. At top and bottom precious unique flight of steps are four large silver-plated columns of fine chased work, between which are fixed the handrails, and filled in with pleasing designs in carved fretwork of rosewood. At the bottom of these stairs is a spa cious lobby, fitted up with polished bird's-eye maple and elegant panels, from which branch off the wait ing-rooms for the Pacha's suite, with baths, gm Pro ceeding inward, we enter the dining saloon, which is a fine apartment, about 20 fe et s q uare, fitted up also in maple, with papier mache p anels, and adornedwith a most brilliant cluster of p aintin g s, representing animals of the farm-yard, the forest, and the desert.

The Oxford Commission has exhausted the subject. No ; one after Mr. Stanley's ebb report need be at any l oss for materials upon which a judgment may be founded on the University question. That report, and the evi dence which accompanied it, showed most clearly that the present University government and administration is an undoubted usurpation, and in opposition to all the principles which presided at the foundation, not only of the University, but of the Colleges. c showed that the University of Oxford was originally like all the other universities of western Europe, an association of teachers united only by mutual interest—that it chose its own legislative body and executive officers, its constitution being essen tially democratic. The report further showed, that when the University had acquired such distinction, as a place of education, as to make the participation in its advantages a matter of great desire, benevolent persons founded " houses of charity" where poor persons might reside while studying at the University town. That the e _ - lodgers in these " houses of charity" were bound by atatliteleethige-theireaueeeeseee-seett-sseearausebeerveetie - e 7./W4lr alifroir pore and 'study, and, to the performance of , •- - •,, ieligious ceremonies which cannot now be performed. That a rigid rule of life was laid down. Further it was shown, that the velue of the property left to these " houses of charity" increasing, the influence of the tenants fcr the time being iecressed also, and to such a degree that they were enabled to exclude all other teachers but themselves—in fact to absorb the Univer sity. The poor" houses of charity" have become rich colleges, sharing amongst them about 150,0001. a year derived from real property, arid an enormous sum de rived from students fees. They allow no one to cr,,me to the University unless as a member of a college, and thus convert a great national institution into a private establishment, managed for the benefit of a clique. Of course similar evidence wilt be brought forward against Cambridge. That University also will be proved to have fallen into the hands of the tenants of the ancient " houses of charity." It will be shown that democitt tical institutions have been revolutionised into oligar chical,—that large funds have been grossly misapplied,— and,in short, that Cambridge has not been far behind Oxford in the work of destruction. All this evidence, it is clear, we might well spare; and the same aright be said of the inferences to be founded on them, a., Mr. Stanley's report contains nearly all that can be said upon the subject. In the meantime there is something left for the Commissioners to do which might well make their labours as valuable to the nation as those of the Oxford Commission. Although a little is said in the report of the latter body about the extension of the studies of the University, the question could not be gone into fully. Now —reform everything else in the Universiees and have the curriculum of studies alone, and you will have done but little to wards nationalis'ng the institutions. The nation will never be brought into sympathy with the Universities until the education there becomes national. The great learned men in England at the present day are not those who have edited Greek plays, or writtene in flinging tubul ar b r id ges over straits, in bring i ng Latin verse; they ar e th ese whose studies h ave resu lte d portion of the island into closer connexion with one part by means of railways—in transmitting' Diesosge: with the speed of lightnine—in multiplying our A sk to an incalculable extent b by means of m"hieerYriclulled any of the foremost men in the ccuntry what is nglishe a nother in the necessary education of a distiegui ; sb e ed ou a long study and man of the present day, and he will g - T e r i qu ire deep list of subjects any one of which Tilli e, r not one of Oxford or Cambridge toil to master.

Its consequence of the numerous applications at the office of her Majesty's Colonial Land and Em i g ration Commissioners in Perk-street, Westminster, from arti sans and agriculturists for a passage to our Australian colonies under the Government regulations , the Com missioners yesterday concluded another contract for three first-class vessels for the conveyance of passengers to Victoria and New South Wales, either from Deptford or Plymouth, the ships to be ready to receive the emi grants as follows:—For Melbournon the 4th of Oc tober; for Sydney, on the 6th of Octctober; and for Mel bourne, on the 11th of October.
