Doors open at Half-past Eight o'clock. Dancing to commence at N re. and terminate at Galt-past Eleven precisely. The annual soirée of the Leeds Mechanics' Institution and Literary Society was held on Wednesday evening last, when Lord John Russell, who was in the chair, spoke as follows : " Ladies and gentlemen, your ex cellent president having conveyed to me a wish that I should preside at this meeting of the Leeds Mechanics' Institute, I had great pleasure in complying with his request ; for since the first institution of Mechanics' In stitutes, I have had the greatest satisfaction in seeing how much they have contributed to the instruction of those who belong to them, and to the general knowledge and the general welfare of the country. I had the plea sure of assisting Dr. Birkbecli in the beginning of these institutions. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) I wish now, as far as I am able, to address you upon some points of general concern, My ignorance of the particulars and details relating to this institute, would make it an impertinence on my part, if I were to attempt to go into those details to which your president has referred. I am glad to see, by the last report of the institute, that the various objects to which it is intended to minister—the schools, the classes, the instruction of various kinds, and the library—have been all well supported, and that there are no less than 2,000 members belonging to this institute. It occurs to me, however, that if I could address anything to you worthy of observation, it would be rather upon the gene ral state of knowledge at this time, and the prospect of ' what is before us, than upon any particulars relating to the institute over which I am now presiding. Let us' observe how very different the. present state of affairs is from the time when the great foundations were made for 'The p' u` OrWititatinri - "and - instruction. - Before- the- Reformation and immediately afterwards, great shins of money and broad lands were given for the purpose of endowing academies, colleges, and schools for education. Our ancestors thought, and I believe wisely thought, that the best plan that they could adopt was to promote or to provide the means of teaching the science and litera ture which had been derived from ancient nations ; for in those days those sciences and that literature contained all that was known that was really worthy of study— contained the most perfect works upon subjects of geo metry and science, and contained the best model of li terary writing. lam far from thinking, therefore, that our ancestors committed an error, either wh en they di rected the education of the young almost exclusively to those objects, or when they desired that a great length of time should be given to that knowledge. But we have to consider that, in the present day, we stand in a totally different position. Not that we ought to forget what advantages we have derived from the science and the literature of ancient nations. Upon the geometry delivered to us from the ancients has been founded all that increase of knowledge which ended in the discoveries of Newton. From the writings of the poets of antiquity the great poets of modern times have derived the best models they can imitate. From the jurisprudence of the Romans are derived the laws by which most of the nations of the Continent have been ruled. But while this tribute must be paid, it is a para mount object of attention, that we, in the course of more than three centuries and a half that have elapsed from what is called the revival of literature, have added to the stores that we have received immense stores of our own —that by the side of that rich mine we have opened other mines which, if not of as rich ore, are more easily worked, and are more abundant in their product. (Loud cheers.) It was Lord Bacon who first pointed out that the mode of the pursuit of science for modern nations ought to be different from that mode for the discovery of truth which had been pointed out by some of the greatest philosophers. (Hear.) It has been much questioned whether Lord Bacon was an exact guide by which other discoverers have been able to pursue the track of knowledge and of invention. And upon that point I think it is certainly clear that it was not Lord Bacon that enabled a Galilee a Pascal and a Tycho Brache, a Co pernicus 'and a Kepler, to make the great discover i es which have immortalised their names. (Hear, hear.) But what is true is, that he at a very early period laid down the rules by which all modern men of science have guided themselves. He pointed out the road which they have followed, and laid down more clearly, more broadly, more ably than any one else, the great me thod lby which modern discovery should be pursued. You will find, I think, if you pursue this subject, (if those who belong to the Mechanics' Institute should even study the works of Lord Bacon, one called the "New Organ," the other on the augmentation of science), that the latest discoveries, the late st inven tions, have been made according to that mode which he pointed out. In a work that was published but a year ago—Mr. Fairbairn's account of the experiments he adopted under the direction of Mr. Stephenson, by which he was enabled to construct the tubular bridge at Conway, and over the Menai Straits— you will find that all those experiments are according to the rules which Lord Bacon had laid down. (Applause.) Take another instance—a work on geology (and a most interesting work it is), by Mr. Hugh Miller, called " The Old Red Sandstone." You will find that an interesting work, and as remarkable for the beauty of its style as for the importance of its matter. And you will find there that Mr. Hugh Miller, being at first a mason working in a stone quarry, pursued in his method of investigation the same rules which Lord Bacon more than three centuries ago laid down, and which have thus become the founda tion and the law, as it were, of modern science. (Cheers.) And now, gentlemen, having said thus much with regard to the original method, let me beg leave to say that, inte rested, as no doubt the members of the Mechanics' Institute must be in the various sciences which of late have made so great a progress—that interesting as are those disco veries which have given us a power of rapid locomotion, and have been the cause of the discovery of the electric telegraph that wonderful and extraordinary as all sciences are, by which such discoveries in the study of the means and methods by which they are made must be to you, I would earnestly press upon you that there is one science which, though its practical use is rather upon the sea than upon the land, yet is worthy of the deepest study, on account of the magnificent results which it unfolds. The science to which I allude is as tronomy. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Whether t hose who, having begun their mathematical studies with the simplest problems of geometry, wish to pursue them to the end, and follow the works of Newton himself—(and no more interesting works can be perused by the mathematician) — with a view of seeing how it was that he discovered that great law of gravitation by which his name will be for ever known ; or whether contenting themselves with more popular accounts of astronomy, given in many of the works of the day, written by Sir John Herschel and other eminent men ; whether, I say, you pursue the one track or the other, you cannot fail to be struck with that great magnificence of the heavens which is unfolded to you in astronomical speculations. (Applause.) And that course of discovery, be it remarked, is still open, is still persued ; and it is but lately that it has been found that those parts of the heavens which seem to be mere collec tions of luminous cloud, devoid of anything like form of worlds or form of suns, are full of small—small in ap pearance to us, but, in fact—stars, perhaps of very great magnitude, but at immensely remote distances. So that, as. it were, a new heaven is open to us; and it appears that to Him to whom a thousand years is but as a day, a thousand worlds are but a speck. (Applause.) Ladies and gen tlemen, I certainly will not attempt to detain you, and to occupy your time by speaking of any of those other sciences which also have their delight and their utility. Let me only say, that there cannot be a greater mistake than that which prevailed a number of years ago, I may say, when I first visited this district. lam sorry to say, that it is now 40 years ago since I came into this dis trict ; and in company with a learned and amiable man (the late Professor Playfair,) visited your factories and workshops. I was struck, I could not fail to be struck, by the ingenuity that was displayed, and the wealth that was obtained. (Hear, hear.) But I own that I left the manufacturing districts with somewhat of a painful feeling, that no greater means were used to spread and obtain knowledge, and that a theory seemed to pre vail,—false and unfounded theory, I am sure it was, — that those who are continually occupied in toiling and spinning, in hammering and forging, could not obtain the time, or have the means of penetrating the recesses of science and literature. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) I believe that no doctrine was more false. (Applause.) And experience indeed has proved that while science and literature add to the skill, add to the ability by whi the artizan conducts his trade ; on the other hand, his toil is sweetened by the comfort of thinking that he can read and instruct himself when his hour of leisure shall arrive. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, most sanguine are the hopes of youth ! In a journal that I kept at that time, in which I ment ioned the various manufactories that 'I had visited and the inventions that I had seen, I ended with a few observations on the moral and intel lectual state of the manufacturing districts, and expressed a confident hope that great improvement would be made in these respects. (Cheers.) And I come now, after this long period, to rejoice in the prospect that that hope is being fulfilled. (Applause.) And now, gentle men, I will turn for a short time to the subject of litera ture. That subject again is so vast that if I were to attempt to go over any one of its numerous fields, I should not find time enough to enable me to do so ; but there is one leading remark that I will venture to make, and which I think it is worth while for any person who studies literature to keep in view. There are various kinds of productions of literature, of very different forms, of very different tastes—some grave and some gay—some of extreme fancy—some rigorously logical ; but all, I t hink, demandin g this as their quality, that truth shall prevail. (Hear, hear.) A French author has said that nothing is beautiful but t r uth—that truth alone is lovely — that truth ought to prevail, even in fable. I believe that that remark is per fectly correct, and I believe you cannot use a better test even to works of imagination than to see tha s, they are true to nature. (Loud che ers.) Now, perhapt I can better explain what I mean in this respect by giving you one or two instances than I should be able to do by precept and explanation. A poet of very great celebrity in the last century, and who certainly is a poet distinguished for much fancy and great power of pathos, but who has not the merit of being always as true as he PROVIDENT CLERKS' MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE ASSOCIATION.

SUNDAYS [PRICE 5D • is pointed, in the poetry he has written—l mean Young has said at the commencement of one of his "Nights,"— " Sleep, like the world, his ready visit pays Where fortune smiles ; the wretched he forgets : Swift on his downy pinions flies from woo And lights on lids unsullied with a tear." Now, if you will study that sentence, you will see that there are two things which the poet has confounded to gether. He has confounded together those who are for tunate in their peace of mind, those who are fortunate in the possession of health, and those who are fortunate in worldly advantages. (Hear, hear.) Now, no two things could be more opposite. (Hear.) It most frequently happens that a man the worst off in his worldly circumstances, to whom the world would pay no homage, upon whom it could not be said fortune smiled, enjoys a sweeter and a more regular sleep than those who are in possession of the highest advantages of rank. (Hear.) You will all remember, no doubt—and it is a passage that I need not quote—that another poet, always true to nature—Shakespere himself—has de scribed the ship-boy amidst the storm, in all the perils of his position, on the mast-head, enjoying a quiet sleep, while the king is described as unable to enjoy any rest whatever. (Hear.) And thus, by following ob servations of that kind, and putting that test to poetry, as well as to history and to reasoning, you will obtain a correct judgment as to whether what you are reading is really worth your attention, and worth your admiration, or whether it is faulty, and is not so deserving. I may give another instance, but I should hardly venture to do do so if my friend and your friend, Lord Carlisle, were here, because the want of truth that I am going to point out is in the writings of Pope-(laughter)—and in some lines of his that are certainly worthy of admiration. There is a very beautiful ode of Horace exalting the merits of poetry. He says that many brave men lived before Agamemnon ; that there were many great sieges before the piege,.of Troy ' • that before Achilles and Hector ex isted there were brave men and ' ,, reat battles, but that, having no poet, they died, and that it required the genius of poetry to give mental existence to the bravery of armies and of chiefs. Pope has copied this, and in some respects very well copied and imitated, in some lines which begin— " Lest you should think that verse should die Which sounds the silver Thames along"— THE INCOMS 17 AX ( the Mor Faction is unfortunate tactics have succeeded in a tax rendered absolute beneficent policy being no' .with the principles of .ca adopted by the nation. and equitable that it has economical authorities to the most impudent and ma. the Morning Chronicle, is timony to the righteousness of the tax - to be met with in society attempts to impugn it, however they may suspect that the imposition of it may be fated to encounter opposition. Take the organs of public opinion —the Times for instance, and ourselves, are found at one and the same mo ment urging the very same principles of justice and propriety, as may be seen in our yesterday's papers- Much as we differ in other matters, we agree in this, simply because disagreement is impossible among competent and honest financiers and politicians. What will the wiseacres say to these things ? See, then, the dilemma to which• a blind and desperate faction has reduced itself—it is committed to a glaring sin against first principles of justice and sound policy ! Why is this ? Because faction found that it must do this, or nothing. Needs must when the Devil drives. We do not believe that there is a single gentleman on the Opposition benches who does not in his heart con acur ve to with may h these views of the heuse - tax ; man y do violence to their consciences at the bidding of bigoted selfishness and ignorance, in voting against this sound ingredient of a budget which in all other respects they approve of, and would support. But faction will fail. It has run its head against a wall, and split that little head open—and there is nothing in it. That wall is the national good Sense. Let us note a little incident which we chronicled yesterday—we allude to the reception of her Majdty's Ministers on Wednesday at the Lord Mayor's banquet. Doubtless it would have gladdened the heart of a factious Opposition had it seen the popular Ministry— " Fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen, Fallen from its high estate, And weltering in its" — folly and discomfiture. Doubtless, the Earl of Derby and his Charkellor of the Exchequer had made up their minds to encounter all sorts of offen sive cries—every manifestation of popular displea sure by the great assemblage of commercial intelli gence and patriotism. What was the fact ? " The Earl of Derby was received with enthusiastic cheer ing." But what had gone before ? The Lord Mayor had given utterance to this remarkable expression of opinion, with a 'frankness which did honour to the first magistrate of the first city in the world—"l think there is, among all those 'whom I am addressing, a hearty, unanimous, and cordial wish that the present Government may succeed in promoting more than any other Government had been able to do, the social, commercial, and political pros perity of the country." These were evidently well weighed words, and were intended, no doubt, to have a great significance at the present moment. Again, in announcing Mr. Disraeli's arrival at the Guildhall, this unpopular Chancellor of the Ex chequer, the Times states (" who was received with loud cheering upon his arrival !"). These cheers proceeded from those classes :whom the Earl of Derby's policy is so nobly benefiting. When, how ever, those within had a fitting opportunity, on his health being proposed, of expressing their opinion, —the Times again being our authority—" The Chancellor of the Exchequer was received with en thusiastic and protracted cheering !" Take your change, Mr. Gladstone and Lord John, out of that ! It is a splendid coin, fresh from the mint of national intelligence and patriotism. We entreat Ministers to note these significant little facts, and we beg the same favour from the bitter little besotted Peel clique and Manchester school. The first it will cheer and support, the others it must' proportionably discourage and dis may. We repeat, that the Ministers mean boldly to stand by their budget, and fairly test the opinion which it will receive in the country. The attempts at agitation will be only in the nature of angry local postules, developed by the irration of a few demagogues ; but the constitution is sound, and its. pulse continues steady and strong. Look again, gentlemen, at the funds. Do they confirm or con tradict the silly squeak of poor Lord John Russell —that " the financial system of the country is in peril'?" Oh, Lord John; it really won't do. but in the instances he gives he mentions Newton, and says not only that brave men have lived and and fought, but other Newtons "systems framed." Now here he has not kept to the merit and truth of the original ; and though it is ,true that there have been distinguished armies and wise sages whose memory has passed into oblivion, it is not at all probable that any man like Newton, following by mathematical roads discoveries in those great truths that he dis covered, will have perished and fallen into oblivion. I give you those two instances of want of truth even in celebrated poets ; and I think it is an observation you will do well always to keep in view, because there is a remarkable difference betweerkthe history of science and I l the history of literature. (Hear, hear.) In the history of science the progress of discovery is gradual. Those who made those discoveries committed great errors : they fell into many absurd mistakes, of which I could give you numerous instances ; but those blunders and errors disappear, the discoveries alone remain. Other men come after them, and make those discoveries the elements and the groundwork of new investigations, and thus the progress of science is continual ; but truths remain—the methods of investigation even shortened, and the pro gress continually going on. (Hear, -hear.) But it is not so with regard to literature. It has, indeed, hap pened often in the history of the world, amongst nations who have excelled in literature, that after great works have been produced which brought down the ad miration of all who read them, others, attempting to go further, attempting to do something still better, have produced works, written in the most affected and unna tural style, and, instead of promoting literature, have corrupted the taste of the nation in which they lived. (Hear, hear.) Now this a thing against which I think we should always be upon our guard ; and having before us those great models of literature which we possess, having our Shakespere, and Milton, and Pope, and a long line of illustrious poets and authors, we should always study to see that the literature of the day is, if not on a par with, is in a taste as pure as that which has gone before, and that we do not in letters, instead of advancing, f9:11 back into decay in the productions of the time. (Hear, hear.) I will now mention to you another instance. It is apparently but a trifling one ; and still it is one in which I think that nature and truth are so well observed, that it may be worth your while to listen to it. One of our writers, who has most blended amusement with instruction, and ease of style I, with solidity of matter, as you all know, is Addison. It occurs to Addison to be describing a ride which he had with a country squire whom he fell in with in his I travels from London to a distant town. They came to an inn, he says, and they ordered a bowl of punch for their entertainment. The country squire—as was per haps the mode with country squires, and may have con tinued unto the present day—(laughter)—began to de preciate trade; to say that foreign trade was the ruin of the country—(laughter)-- and that it was too bad that the foreigner should have so much the advantage of our English money. "Upon which," says Mr. Addison, " I just called his attention to the punch we were going to drink," and said, " If it were not for foreign trade, where would be the rum, and the lemons, and the sugar we are about to consume l" (Renewed laughter.) He said the squire was considerably embarrassed by this re mark ; but the landlord, who was standing by, came to his assistance, and said, " There's no better drink than a cup of English water if it has plenty of malt in it." (Laughter and applause.) Now, gentlemen, although that appears a slight and trifling story, and is told in a very homely way, yet it is perfectly true to nature, and it conveys in a very lively manner a rebuke to the igno rance and prejudice of the person with whom Addison represents himself to have been conversing. Gentlemen, having made those observations, you will perhaps permit me to say that the cause of my venturing to come hither is, that I might both see the progress which you were mak ing in instruction of all kinds, and also that I might ex press my hopes and my wishes for your welfare in the time that is to come. (Cheers.) It has been my fortune, since the active part of my life began, to live in times of peace, and to see great discoveries and great improve ments. I think you will feel that we who have had the direction of affairs during that time—l speak not now of any differences of political parties or of religious sects, but taking ut a aki us altogether, all political parties , and men religious denominations —I think we have not done ill to the country during that period in which we have borne an active share in its affairs. (Cheers.) If you look back to 1815, when a bloody and costly struggle was terminated, I think you will see that during that period, whether by the judgment of Parliament, whether by the action of great bodies and great societies, or whe ther by the skill and invention of individuals, the con dition of the people of this land has very much im proved. (Cheers.) While the means of sustenance have become cheaper, the whole public burdens have be come less ; while the means of education have been im proving, there has been, with those circumstances, and partly owing to those circumstances, a general progress in society. (Hear, hear.) I think, therefore, that we who have belonged to this time—and, I tell you again, I wish to make no political allusions, or to claim for one party over another any advantages—but I say gene rally that we who have lived in this time have upon the whole not ill performed our duty . (Applause. It will be for you, when we retire from the more active business of this scene, to endeavour to carry on to still greater knowledge, to still more comfort, to still more wellbeing, the country in which you live. (Hear.) It is a great charge imposed upon you, and I trust you will properly discharge it. (Hear.) Let no insane passion carry you without reason into contests with foreign countries. (Applause.) Let no unworthy prejudice induce you to withhold from any part of your countrymen that which is their due. (Loud applause.) Let no previous conviction prevent you from examining every subject with impartial eyes, and placing before you the love of truth, which ought to guide you in your investigations. (Cheers.) With those convictions I am persuaded you will abide by the institutions which you have, and by the faith which you hold, and that you will adorn the country to which you belong. (Loud and protracted cheering.) On the following day, an address was presented to his lordship by the Town Council, and his lordship shortly afterwards left for town by the Great Northern Railway.

WITH FIFTY COLOURED ENGRAVINGS ON STEEL. In French, English, German, Dutch, Spanish, and Italian. in a Sealed Envelope, 'ls. M., or post-free. for Forty-two Stamps, SELF-PRESERVATION; au Analytical Investigation of the Physiology and Functions of Marriage, in all the bearings in which that important subject affects the health and happiness of Man, with its Disqualifications and Impe diments, tracing their origin to the effects of juvenile solitary habits, youthful excess, tropical climates, or close study ; followed by prac tical remarks, founded on twenty years' experience in the treatment of Impuissance, Nervous Debility, Local Weakness, Spermatorrhcea, Syphilis, and all diseases of the Urinary and Generative System. Il lustrated by 50 coloured Engravings, on the Anatomy of the Repro ductive Organs and their relative conditions in Health and Disease. Bv SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearffil consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, wed 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 hero condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Afert, himself one of the few egally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

Cs. 64,, ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRIREA, with the View to the Correction of wide-spread • Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. "Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his mower to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. "We promised in a former number that we should recur to this work, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying on the credulity of the public. The tribe of Quiet Symathisers,' and Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this book could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize— much money .. .. This volume is well qualified to put an end to the empirical system ofareating Spermatorrheea, and to place the treat ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore, likely to do much good"—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.

"In proof of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has given the history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated. Such are cases ix., xi., xii., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xis. appear, both in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet the treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful." ...Professor Lizarli on the Treatment of Stricture.

Assistant-Surgeons—James Laird (1841), of the Ma gicienne, steam-corvette, Devonport ; and John Cockin, (1841), of the screw-ship Blenheim, at Portsmouth, have been promoted to the rank of surgeon. We are glad to hear that at length justice has been done to another officer in Sir John Franklin's expedition, in the promotion of Assistant-Surgeon Alexander M'Do nald (1841), of the Terror, to the rank of surgeon. It is due to the Admiralty to state, that the three medical officers above promoted were the eligible seniors on the list. Clerks.—Timothy Clinch (1842), in charge of the Locust, Brazils, and Henry R. Shaw (1844), late of the Dolphin, 3, paid off from the coast of Africa, two of the seniors, have been appointed to the rank of paymaster. APPOINTMENTS. Surgeon.—Robert Bernard, to the Dido, 18, Devon port. 14idshipmen.—Robert Pitman, to the Cruizer, screw sloop, Woolwich ; Philip J. Hawkin, to the Sidon, 22, steam-frigate, Portsmouth. Naval Cadets.—C. B. Powell, to the Sidon ; R. A. Herbert to the Britannia, 120, flag-ship, Mediterranean. THE LONDON.—We believe that no orders have been given for the transference of the officers and crew of the London, 92, at Sheerness, to the screw three-decker Duke of Wellington. There can be no doubt, however, that a well-manned screw three-decker would be equal in power and execution to both Queen and London, mere sailing-ships. The London was reported all ready for sea yesterday, and will proceed to Portsmouth on Satur day (to-morrow). She is about a score of blue jackets short of her advanced complement. s. PORTSMOUTH, DEO, 9. The Basilisk, 6, new paddle-sloop, 980 tons, 400-horse power, Commander the Hon. F. Egerton, arrived at Spithead last evening from the North American station, to which she was dispatched to augment the squadron under Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour on the outset of the fisheries dispute. The Admiral, in the Cumber land, 72, had left Halifax for Bermuda on the sth ult. The Basilisk left Halifax on the 17th, and has had strong easterly gales nearly all the passage home, which delayed her very considerably. The Devastation steam-sloop, Commander Campbell, and the Columbia steam-sloop, Commander Shortland, were at Halifax fishing-grounds when the Basilisk left. She has brought home Mr. Martin, second master, and four seamen, invalided from the Cumberland, and one seaman from the Devastation ; also a mail. The Basilisk's first commission has dis played her qualities as anything but those of a trust worthy, creditable war steamer. She answers very badly under steam ; she has been on fire several times, owing to the bulkheads being built too close to the boilers ; she consequently came home more than two-thirds of her passage under canvas, and must be very considerably and expensively altered before she can undertake another voyage without imperilling the ship and all on board. She was built at Woolwich in 1848 on the design of Mr. Lang, and was commissioned at Ports mouth in May last. Her crew report her very ill venti lated, in consequence of which defect they have been very unhealthy. A report is current that they will be turned over to the Bulldog. The London, 92, Captain Mundy, may be expected at Spithead about Tuesday next, as she will leave the Nore for this port on Sunday. Her entire crew and a por tion of the officers will be transferred to the screw three decker Duke of Wellington, 131. Yv The Sidon, 22, Captain 6oldsm ith;was brought down from her moorings this morning, ready for docking, to have her bottom inspected, after which she will be out of the hands of the dockyard. The Archer, 14, Commander Strange, received her officers and crew from the hulk to-day, and hauled along side the Malabar to take in coals ready for trial. PLYMOUTH, DEC. 9. Four sail-of-the-line, four steam-vessels, and six first class frigates, are ordered to be got ready here with all possible dispatch. The crew of the Dido, 18, Captain W. H. A Mors head, were paid down yesterday, and obtained ten days' leave of absence. The officers and crew of the steam-vessel Spiteful were paid off yesterday. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. IRISH BAILWAYS.—AII the Irish railways have cape- 1 rienced a considerable rise in value of late. SCOTTISH CENTRAL RAILWAY.—Th e Scottish Central is understood to have settled its claim upon the Cale donian extrajudicially. This circu mstance , in addition to a coming 4 per cen t . dividen d , Which the traffic of the line indicates, has run up its price from 881 to 98. Edin burgh and Glasgow is also in considerable request at an advance of 51. to 61. NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY.— The North British Pre ference dividend was paid on the 16th, " a month after date ;"and as the directors have now undertaken to secure the rights of the preference shareholders in all time coining (a thing they ought never to have lost sight of), these shares are more inquired for. The price is now 103 i. SCOTTISH PROJECTED RAILWAYS,— A further batch of new undertakings have made their appearance this month, some of them for lines of railway which would be of decided local advantage. For instance,. the Forth and Clyde, from Stirling to Dumbarton, which would open up a tract of fine c ountr y , es timated to be com pleted for 3,0001. per mile, and agreed to be worked by the Scottish Central on favourable terms ; the Hawick and Carlisle, under the auspice s o f the Duke of Buc cleuch ; the Ayr, Maybole, and Girvan, an d some others. But these, although partially subscribed for in their re spective districts, have not met with that general support which their promoters expected. The unfortunate de mand made by the Great Northern of Scotland Railway upon a numerous body of its original allottees, to pay calls on scrip, eagerly subscribed for during the railway mania, parted with seven years ago , and forgotten by most of them, has prevented many parties from taking an interest in, and, still more, signing the contracts of these proposed new undertakings. — Allen's Circular. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS. • • ..........

He gave a piece of five francs to pay for it, but before he got his change the train was off. The other passengers in his carriage joked him on hifi . cheap bargain, and even went the length of saying the whole transaction was a matter arranged between the salesman and the engine -driver. When, however, the train arrived at the station of Les Ormes, a clerk came out and inquired who had bought a knife at Chattellerault, and not received his change. On the passenger declaring that it was he, the clerk handed him three francs, notice to that effect having been forwarded by the electric telegraph. ~8 ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. CHESTER.—It is not at all unlikely that a vacancy w ill shortly take place in the representation of this con stituency by the retirement of Earl Grosvenor, son .t the Marquis of Westminster, who, we believe, wil. shortly proceed to the Continent, owing to ill-health indeed, it is thought Madeira will be the destination o the noble earl. Chester is almost entirely in the hand of the Liberals, although Mr. Fraill has made more than one attempt to return a member. At the last general election Mr. Fraill's candidate was Mr. Bramley Moore, who, like Mr. Horsfall (M.P. for Derby), comes from Liverpool.—Morning Advertiser. LISBURN.—The Lisburn election commenced on Tues day, when Mr. Roger Johnson Smyth, and Mr. Inglis, the Lord Advocate of Scotland, were put in nomination. The principles of both candidates are Conservative, the Lord Advocate, • although one of the Ministry, being understood to be the more liberal of the two ; but Mr. Smyth was nevertheless the popular man, and had a most violent mob enlisted on his side. The town du. ing the day was a scene of uproar and tumult, and some serious outrages might have occurred had not the police disarmed all those who carried bludgeons or other weapons. Mr. Inglis and Dean Stannus were attacked in the streets with stones and brickbats, and the latter rev. gentleman had, it appears, a rather narrow' escape. The show of hands was declared to be in favour of Mr. Smyth, and a poll was demanded on behalf of the Lord Advocate. MERTHYR TYDVIL.—Mr. James, the Chancery bar rister, who had offered himself to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Sir John Guest, has retired from the field in favour of Mr. H. A. Bruce, of Dyffr3rn. Mr. Bruce, the new candidate, deferred the issue of his ad dress to the electors until after the funeral of the late member. In it he says :--- " I shall ever be found for ward and earnest in the support of all temperate and well-considered measures of reform.' I shall be no party to violent or organic changes. I thoroughly approv and shall steadfastly adhere to the commercial policy inaugurated by Sir Robert Peel. Every proposition tending to the reduction of taxation, or the lowering of the prices of food, would be supported by me to the utmost extent compatible with the maintenance of our financial credit." NORTH OF EUROPE STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. A meeting of the shareholders in this company was held yesterday, at the London Tavern, to receive from the directors a report of the progress made by the un dertaking since it was first brought before the public in July last. The report states that the shares allotted were all taken up, and the call of 2/. 10s. per share made in October promptly responded to by the proprietors, since which not only the company been established, but they are in possession of six valuable steam-ships and a rapidly increasing trade, with all the means necessary for its successful working and further extension. Two of the ships belonging to the company are now running weekly between Grea t . Grimsby and Hamburg ; another will shortly be pl_aeed ain in the trade between the former port and "°tte o r l the and in the spring of next year the other vessels of been recently will be employed in the trade whichning.o n It recently opened between Lowestoft and is also intended next year to open oudltr°l.sn,dvierdeeont andy weekly communication with Norway advantageous tfor sea, under a contract with the Swe!lish a u five years, the terms of which are highly e two suitable to the company, and for which pu overn ra e " Other arrange °. their operations ments arescrew-steamers contemplated otextending i r P n Holland and Belgium, between Harwich and the ports as soon as the railway from Lo tnocre t don to the former place is completed. This re p ort, directors, was unanimously thanks to the chairman and adopted. A MODERN ROBIANCE.—A tradesman of one of the principal seaports went in 1850 to Chili, leaving his young wife to manage his business. His Chilian affair turned out badly, but he wrote to his wife to say that between them they could by industry 80011 make up the loss, and to announce that he would return on the 28th of October last. On that day he arrived at Havre, and found the following letter from his wif e wa iti ng f or him : " Sir, I have received your honoured communication of the 2d of October, and I hasten to reply to it. 'When a man has a young woman possessed of some personal advantages for his wife, he should not leave her during two years in tde cc tete with figures. You might have remained content with your ordinary profits, without going to Chili to tempt fortune uselessly. Another has picked up the treasure you disdained. The future which you describe to me is not to my taste. Spring and youth pass away quickly. It would be foolish not to take ad vantage of them. Perduto e tutto it tempo the in amar non si spende. You will find me no more. The beat thing you can d o i s t o re t urn to Chili." The poorhus band could no t b e li eve th a t the letter was other than a hi joke, and h e h as t ene d home. But th ere he found a sold house closed, and learned that his if his goods and gone away to Paris w wi e th ha 2 youngld off man.all He laid a complaint of adultery a g ainst her and her ac.; Paris complice, and, coming up to Paris, set to work to look • after them. Yesterday he met his wife, elegantly dressed, walking on the Boulevard des Italiens became so indignant at the sight of her that he and he struck her. She cried for help, and a crowd assembled. He explained as well as his emotion would allow him what she had done, but the spectators seemed disposed to take her part. Two sergens-de-ville came up, and car ried him and his wife before the Commissary of police. To that functionary he told his story, and the truth of it having been ascertained, he was released.
